Oh Shit! Wonder what this is all about...
Bomb blast rocks San Diego courthouse
From P-T wire reports
Article Launched: 05/04/2008 10:28:59 PM PDT
SAN DIEGO - A suspected pipe bomb exploded at the federal courthouse in downtown San Diego early Sunday, damaging a door and blowing out a window, authorities said.
The loud blast occurred at about 1:40 a.m. at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Courthouse, said FBI spokeswoman April Langwell. The device caused damage to the front entrance and lobby area of the courthouse, she said.
The bomb was reported by two guards inside the building, who were uninjured. About 40 agents combed the courtyard in front of the courthouse after the area was swept for explosives.
Debris was found lodged in a window about eight stories up the AT&T building that faces the courthouse.
The evidence collected will be sent to an FBI laboratory in Virginia for analysis by bomb experts.
Authorities said surveillance cameras outside the building may provide information, but there are no cameras that directly face the doorway. At the time of the explosion there were not many people around the building, which is a block from nightclubs in the Gaslamp Quarter.
Streets in the area were closed until early Sunday afternoon. The courthouse will remain closed today as repairs are made to the building.
No injuries were reported. The explosion is under investigation and no arrests have been made.
No one has claimed responsibility for the blast, authorities said, and no threats were received before the bomb was left.
Los Angeles police have no immediate plans to provide extra security at federal courthouses in the city, but that could change by today, a Los Angeles police Officer Karen Smith said Sunday night.

Good call...
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- A Texas woman who caused her lover's shooting death by falsely crying rape was convicted Friday of involuntary manslaughter.
Tracy Denise Roberson, 37, cried a bit when the verdict was announced. The punishment phase was set for Monday, and she faces two to 20 years in prison.
In late 2006, Darrell Roberson came home from a late-night card game to find his scantily clad wife with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway. Tracy Roberson was with her lover but cried rape, and her husband fired four shots into the truck as Devin LaSalle drove off, killing him.
Darrell Roberson initially was arrested, but a murder charge was later dropped and a grand jury indicted Tracy Roberson instead.
During her three-day trial, defense attorneys called no witnesses but blamed LaSalle's death on Darrell Roberson's jealousy and rage.
But prosecutors placed all the blame on Tracy Roberson, showing evidence of the affair with LaSalle, 32, and a text message in which she invited him to her house that evening.

San Diego area relieved to see no sign of killer shark
By ALLISON HOFFMAN – 17 hours ago
SOLANA BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Miles of Southern California beach remained under a shark advisory Sunday, denying would-be swimmers relief from soaring temperatures, because of a shark attack that killed one man.
There had been no sign of the fish, believed to be a great white shark, that bit triathlete David Martin on the legs, causing deep lacerations, Solana Beach Public Safety Director David Ott said Sunday.
Ott said people were mostly steering clear of the eight miles of coast under his jurisdiction where swimmers were urged to stay away from the water, from Torrey Pines State Beach to south Carlsbad.
Beaches farther north were expected to be crowded as inland temperatures soared during the day, he said.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office said Martin, a 66-year-old retired veterinarian, bled to death Friday.
Elsewhere, two surfers were injured in shark attacks along the Atlantic coast of central Florida during the weekend. The Volusia County Beach Patrol said one man was bitten on the calf and the other was bitten on one foot. Their injuries were not life threatening.
On Saturday, only a hardy few Southern California paddleboarders ignored signs warning that the great white shark could still be in the area.
"It's like going to see 'Jaws' — getting in the water the next day, all you could think about was the music," said Bob Rief, 63, who was teaching a friend how to stand up on a paddleboard. "But if you're afraid of the ocean, you shouldn't be in it."
Farther north, Orange and Los Angeles county beaches were packed with people Saturday and lifeguards were more concerned with crowds and riptides than sharks.
"The most dangerous part of the day, if you're going to the beach, is getting on the freeway to come here," said Garth Canning, section chief of the Los Angeles County Fire Department Lifeguard Division.
Great whites are rare along the Southern California coast, though females sometimes come south from their usual territory in the cooler water of the central and northern coast to pup.
Martin is the first shark fatality in San Diego County since 1994, when a woman's body was found with bites off Ocean Beach, near downtown San Diego.

This really sux...JMHO...
3 NYPD detectives cleared in wedding-day shooting
4/25/2008 2:05:00 PM
Associated Press/AP Online
By TOM HAYS
NEW YORK - Three detectives were acquitted Friday in the 50-shot killing of an unarmed groom-to-be on his wedding day, a case that put the NYPD at the center of another dispute involving allegations of excessive firepower.
Scores of police officers surrounded the courthouse to guard against potential chaos, and as news of the verdict spread, many in the crowd began weeping. Others were enraged, swearing and screaming "Murderers! Murderers!" or "KKK!"
Inside the courtroom, spectators gasped. Sean Bell's fiancee immediately walked out of the room; his mother cried.
Bell, a 23-year-old black man, was killed in a hail of gunfire outside a seedy strip club in Queens on Nov. 25, 2006 as he was leaving his bachelor party with two friends. The case ignited the emotions of people across the city and led to widespread protests among those who felt the officers used unnecessary force.
Officers Michael Oliver, 36, and Gescard Isnora, 29, stood trial for manslaughter while Officer Marc Cooper, 40, was charged with reckless endangerment. Two other shooters weren't charged. Oliver squeezed off 31 shots; Isnora fired 11 rounds; and Cooper shot four times.
The case brought back painful memories of other NYPD shootings, such as the 1999 shooting of Amadou Diallo - an African immigrant who was gunned down in a hail of 41 bullets by police officers who mistook his wallet for a gun. The acquittal of the officers in that case created a storm of protest, with hundreds arrested after taking to the streets in demonstration.
Though emotions ran high, there were no immediate problems outside the courthouse Friday, where many wore buttons with Bell's picture or held signs saying "Justice for Sean Bell." Some people approached police after the verdict was read, but they were held back and the jostling died down quickly.
William Hardgraves, 48, an electrician from Harlem, brought his 12-year-old son and 23-year-old daughter to hear the verdict. "I hoped it would be different this time. They shot him 50 times," Hardgraves said. "But of course, it wasn't."
The officers, complaining that pretrial publicity had unfairly painted them as cold-blooded killers, opted to have the judge decide the case rather than a jury.
The judge, Justice Arthur Cooperman, indicated when he delivered the verdict that the officers' version of events was more credible than the victims' version. "The people have not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that each defendant was not justified" in firing, he said.
Hours later, the officers appeared at a news conference.
"I'd like to say sorry to the Bell family for the tragedy," Cooper said, thanking God, his lawyers and the police officers who supported him.
The U.S. attorney's office said after the verdict that it had been monitoring the state's prosecution and would conduct an independent review of the case. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who represents Bell's family, called for a federal investigation.
"This verdict is one round down, but the fight is far from over," Sharpton said on his radio show. "What we saw in court today was not a miscarriage of justice. Justice didn't miscarry. This was an abortion of justice."
Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives Endowment Association, responded angrily to Sharpton's suggestion that the verdicts were unfair.
"That's despicable for him to say that because we have the greatest criminal justice system on earth," he said.
The nearly two-month trial was marked by deeply divergent accounts of the night.
The defense painted the victims as drunken thugs who the officers believed were armed and dangerous. Prosecutors sought to convince the judge that the victims had been minding their own business, and that the officers were inept, trigger-happy aggressors.
Both sides were consistent on one point: The utter chaos surrounding the last moments of Bell's life.
"It happened so quick," Isnora said in grand jury testimony. "It was like the last thing I ever wanted to do."
Bell's companions - Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman - offered dramatic testimony. Both were wounded in the shooting; Guzman still has four bullets lodged in his body.
Referring to Isnora, Guzman said, "This dude is shooting like he's crazy, like he's out of his mind."
The victims and shooters were set on a fateful collision course by a pair of innocuous decisions: Bell's to have a last-minute bachelor party at Kalua Cabaret, and the undercover detectives' to investigate reports of prostitution at the club.
As the club closed around 4 a.m., Sanchez and Isnora claimed they overheard Bell and his friends first flirt with women, then taunt a stranger who responded by putting his right hand in his pocket as if he had a gun. Guzman, they testified, said, "Yo, go get my gun" - something Bell's friends denied.
Isnora said he decided to arm himself, call for backup - "It's getting hot," he told his supervisor - and tail Bell, Guzman and Benefield as they went around the corner and got into Bell's car. He claimed that after warning the men to halt, Bell pulled away, bumped him and rammed an unmarked police van that converged on the scene with Oliver at the wheel. The detective also alleged that Guzman made a sudden move as if he were reaching for a gun.
Guzman said Isnora "appeared out of nowhere" with a gun drawn and shot him in the shoulder - the first of 16 shots to enter his body.
"That's all there was - gunfire," he said. "There wasn't nothing else."
With tires screeching, glass breaking and bullets flying, the officers claimed that they believed they were the ones under fire. Oliver responded by emptying his semiautomatic pistol, reloading, and emptying it again, as the supervisor sought cover.
The truth emerged when the smoke cleared: There was no weapon inside Bell's blood-splattered car.

I wondered about that anonymous phone call bullshit from the beginning.
Those kids are gonna end up really fucked up thanks to the state. Hell, they only knew one way of life and that was pretty isolated from what the rest of us consider "Normal". Then to be tossed into foster homes with people that don't think the same way they do...
The whole situation sucks.

This whole thing has turned into a large fiasco, they have split up families and the media with the help of the CPS have publically convicted everyone that was there. Now it turns out the entire accusation was a hoax;

If you don't want to get blamed for covering up 12,000 suicide attempts a year by veterans in your care, don't start your emails with "Shh"

Study: Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Men who frequently masturbate appear to have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, Australian researchers reported.
Researchers from the Cancer Council of Victoria found that men who masturbated more than five times each week were one-third less likely to develop the cancer.
The study surveyed 1,000 men who developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who did not, and all were between the ages of 20 and 50, according to a report on Monday on the gay and lesbian news site PlanetOut.
Researchers told the BBC last week that the prostate produces one of the fluids involved in ejaculation and that frequent masturbation appears to flush out carcinogens.
Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because it increases the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could raise the risk of cancer, the Web site reported.
 LOL...I will take pleasure over pain...

Was in the stealer a couple of weeks ago...
Not much in there with "Sold" signs on it. But, then people ain't buyin' like they were either. Money is gettin' tighter and tighter.
Idiots ain't gettin' equity loans on their houses to buy toys anymore. Not like they were. If ya look on Craigslist. There's a lot of "Toys" on the market. Nice, late model bikes can be had fairly cheap. Still more than most are willing to pay. But, folks gotta get rid of something...
