Bartenders fined for serving a high-fiver (4)

1 Name: The Daily Telegraph : 2009-06-25 01:21 ID:xaFnt2mv

TWO female bartenders were fined $550 each for serving a drink to a man who high-fived a friend.

Ivan Pacho was confronted by an undercover police officer and frogmarched out of Campbelltown's Wests Leagues Club after he high-fived a friend in the club's Bamboo Lounge before ordering a blue lagoon cocktail.

The two barmaids were then each fined - one for preparing the drink, the other for serving it. They are now contesting the fines in court.

A staff insider said Mr Pacho, a 26-year-old disability care worker, was in no way intoxicated and was a well-known club regular who was always friendly and well behaved.

Mr Pacho said the police officer repeatedly tried to physically escort him from the premises, even though he said he was willing to leave.

"They told the manager that her grounds for kicking me out was I gave someone a high-five. Come on, Wests Tigers were playing," he said.

At least 24 die in India heat wave (2)

1 Name: Unverified Source : 2009-06-26 14:30 ID:LXwZJHZ6

LUCKNOW, India – At least 24 people have died in a scorching heat wave that has swept over half a dozen Indian states, officials said today.

The highest temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 Celsius) this week was recorded in Bundelkhand district of northern Uttar Pradesh state.

At least five people have died from heat stroke this week in the state, according to Raja Ram Srivastava, a revenue department official.

Authorities said four people died in eastern Orissa state, according to O.J. Choudhary, an official at the revenue department, which monitors heat-related deaths. Thirty-nine other suspected heat wave deaths are being investigated, he added.

In northern Bihar state, at least 15 people have died in 10 days of intense heat, according to a local disaster management official who refused to be named because he wasn't authorized to speak to reporters.

As temperatures have soared, most parts of north and central India have suffered severe water and power shortages, leading to protests by residents, news reports said.

Michael Jackson, the 'King of Pop,' dies at age 50 (7)

1 Name: Unverified Source : 2009-06-26 01:03 ID:SYRZS3dh

By LYNN ELBER, Associated Press Writer Lynn Elber, Associated Press Writer – 10 mins ago
LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the "King of Pop" and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.

The circumstances of Jackson's death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to the hospital, Ruda told the newspaper.

Michael Jackson died 4 years, 12 days after acquittal on charges of child sex abuse, one of the biggest thing that ever happened in our sleepy part of California. When it was announced, I left work early and raced to the courthouse to bear witness to the circus. Standing with my friends on a little hill in the courthouse lawn between temporary chain link fences and barricades, we watched the street get closed off, helicopters in the air, and police with plastic cuffs bundled in their belts in case a riot broke out. When the motorcade arrived, it was pandemonium. We saw him only briefly, not even long enough for the digital camera to get his picture. Shortly afterwards, it was silence. It was weird. Everyone was gathered around phones on top volume tied into television sets at top volume back at home. In the thick of the crowd there was a speaker with court room audio for the press and from that point the message was relayed into space and back to the courthouse to the cell phones in the crowd. From the center, where the dedicated fans and the press were gathered, there were cheers milliseconds in advance. There wasn't so much from our position. We didn't really care one way or another, though we expected this outcome. I don't really have an opinion on the matter to be honest because I was just a local there for the show. It was the biggest thing that ever happened here. Well, second biggest. The biggest was when he danced on top of that SUV.

Wow, this place sucks.

200 injured as residents clash with police in central China over young man's death (2)

1 Name: Unverified Source : 2009-06-21 15:10 ID:Heaven

BEIJING - Residents clashed with police Saturday in central China following the mysterious death of a young man at a city hotel, leaving more than 200 injured, a Hong Kong-based rights group said.

Residents said hundreds of people were still massed outside the hotel in Shishou city, angered by the death of 24-year old Tu Yuangao, and his body was still inside.

A local resident who gave his last name as Wu said he saw about 20 to 30 trucks carrying armed police entering the city in Hubei province Saturday afternoon.
A report on the state-owned People's Daily Web site Saturday said Tu was found dead on Wednesday evening in front of the Yonglong hotel, but police ruled out murder saying they found a suicide note.

Police have asked the relatives to give them the body so they can perform an autopsy to find the cause of the death, but they have refused, the report said.

The man's relatives believe he was killed by the boss of the hotel, who is related to the mayor of the city, the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said, and are keeping the body in protest.

Giant inflatable dog turd terrorizes Switzerland (5)

1 Name: Telegraph : 2008-08-13 10:04 ID:M34NV3xE

"Complex Shit", a sculpture by the American artist Paul McCarthy, cast loose its moorings and was lifted by a sudden gust of wind from the Paul Klee centre in Berne and carried 200 yards to eventually make landfall in the grounds of a children's home.

Museum authorities said the work had an automatic safety device that was supposed to make it deflate in the event of a storm - but it failed to operate.

The museum's director Juri Steiner said Mr McCarthy had not yet been informed of the fate of his artwork, and that he had not yet decided whether to reinstall it in the centre's garden.

The sculpture was featured in an exhibition called "East of Eden. A Garden Show".

The Paul Klee centre's website described the show as containing "interweaving, diverse, not to say conflictive emphases and a broad spectrum of items to form a dynamic exchange of parallel and self-eclipsing spatial and temporal zones."

John Stagliano, Evil Angel Charged With 7 Obscenity Violations (5)

1 Name: XBiz : 2008-04-10 23:30 ID:Xku3QYFM

WASHINGTON — Evil Angel owner John Stagliano has been charged with multiple counts of federal obscenity violations. Stagliano was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Criminal Division announced today.

Stagliano, Evil Angel Productions and John Stagliano Inc. were charged with seven counts of operating “an obscenity distribution business and related offenses.” The charges stem from the mail and Internet distribution of two movies.

The movies named in the indictment are "Milk Nymphos" directed by Jay Sin, "Storm Squirters 2" directed by Joey Silvera and a trailer from Belladonna's "Fetish Fanatic 5."

Stagliano and his related companies were charged with “three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to sell and distribute DVDs containing obscene films together with a movie trailer in violation; two counts of using a common carrier for the conveyance or delivery of DVDs containing obscene films in interstate commerce; one count of engaging in the business of selling or transferring an obscene film and a movie trailer; one count of using an interactive computer service to display an obscene movie trailer in a manner available to a person under 18 years of age; and one count seeking forfeiture of certain assets of the defendants.”

Is there not enough of an illicit pornography industry in this country such that our authorities have to pick on legitimate porn? This is an outrage!

4 Name: Lydia Pynke : 2009-06-12 19:39 ID:/UZwZCf4

Think of porn as a home-grown pot industry - with today's cameras, any doofus and his dorky buddies (sorry!) and one or two naughty girls, and they are always naughty girls, can make an unexceptional video, to be sold out of the back of a car; who has been harmed?

The situation changes when organised crime harvests the products of our back-yard lotharios and turns a silly hobby into a sordid business. (sordid because of the threat of violence from the criminal parasites, not the sex) OSHA rules for the workers still apply and organised crime couldn't give a rat's patout if Beckie's little Butt-Cup contracts AIDS during the filming, or if Larry the Lighting guy gets electrocuted while standing in a, er, puddle.

So, what to do? Stop moralising about all this and get real with the public health regs and the politicians who let these guys slide by. Just Like Al Capone went to prison for tax evasion on his ill-gotten gains, these guys can have their "earnings" trimmed by confiscatory fines for health and safety violations in the workplace.

US reports first swine flu death,kills child in US (11)

1 Name: Unverified Source : 2009-04-29 11:36 ID:Heaven

A 23-month-old child in Texas is the first person known to have died of swine flu outside Mexico, where it may have killed as many as 159 people.

Officials in Washington gave no other details of the patient. Federal health officials had been warning the virus would probably claim lives in the US.

The US earlier confirmed it was treating 64 cases of the virus.

Germany became the latest country to confirm cases of the H1N1 virus, reporting three sufferers.

The death in Texas was confirmed by Dr Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

New flu kills 2nd person in U.S., spreads globally

HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas woman with the new H1N1 flu died earlier this week, state health officials said, the second death outside of Mexico, where the epidemic appeared to be waning.

Officials said on Tuesday the woman, who was in her 30s, had chronic health problems. U.S. health officials have predicted that the swine flu virus would spread and inevitably kill some people, just as seasonal flu does.

Last week a Mexican toddler visiting Texas also died. Mexican officials have reported 29 confirmed deaths.

The World Health Organization was monitoring the spread of the virus and said 21 countries have officially reported 1,490 cases. The United States has 403 confirmed cases in 38 states, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, with another 700 "probable" cases. Canada has reported 165 cases.

"Those numbers will go up, we anticipate, and unfortunately there are likely to be more hospitalizations and more deaths," U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said.

And north korea is at it again. (5)

2 Name: Unverified Source : 2009-05-27 06:30 ID:9Cq1+IiH

To be honest,
While alarming, North Korea is not doing itself any kind of favor by irking the rest of the world.
Back in the early 50s it had the still strictly communistic china as its primary ally which was a significant factor in north koreas early victories during the Korean War.
Since then, the political landscape has changed immensly with China actually siding with America on the issue of Nuke testing and aggressive acts.

If North Korea does decide to do something stupid like launch a nuke, it would fine the entirety of the U.N. knocking on all its borders, its army quickly overran and all major military facilities still above ground whiped out.

In a matter of months, the armed forces would be overran by sheer military numbers (North America possibly not lending as big a hand in this effort. Mostly China, South Korea, JSDF Naval attache, several smaller standing armies from various countries willing to act (belgium, france, U.K, Spain, Italy and Greece to name a few that I know of which have anything resembling an army...greece being the least likely based upon recent economic and political turmoil.)

Dealing with North Korea is like dealing with one enormous mental patient. This patient is a compulsive liar, suffers delusions of grandeur, and is suicidal. This patient is a danger to itself and others. Isolation is the only option.

4 Name: Unverified Source : 2009-06-05 02:56 ID:knQ35kDT

I've heard that since these nukes tests, most foreign countries have started using diplomacy when dealing with North Korea instead of extortion and treatening. So, there this saying; "You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun". I guess in this particular case it is completely true.

5 Name: Unverified Source : 2009-06-09 01:40 ID:tE8OX6hx

Call me a cold war poo but China could just be putting on a show. USA knows China is the only nation with any influence over North Korea and when Kim conveniently reels in his nuclear program after being told off by China it will strengthen his value as a negotiating chip.
