Salon owners will have to submit detailed background information and be subject to routine police inspections for hidden surveillance devices.’


Research links vasectomy with higher dementia risk

‘Men who have had a vasectomy may face an increased risk of developing a rare type of dementia marked by a steady loss of language skills, researchers said on Tuesday.

Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois, writing in the journal Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology, linked this male sterilization surgery to a neurological condition called primary progressive aphasia, or PPA. [..]

Of those with primary progressive aphasia, 40 percent had undergone a vasectomy, compared to 16 percent of the others. Those with PPA also suffered the ailment an average of four years earlier than the others.’

Dutch judge: Peep shows are theatre

‘An Amsterdam judge has ruled that peep shows – where sex workers performing strip shows and explicit acts can be watched from booths – are a form of theatre and club owners are entitled to a hefty tax break.

“Admitting customers to peep shows is equivalent to admitting them to a theatre performance,” an Amsterdam Appeals Court judge wrote in a ruling late last month and publicized Tuesday. “The erotic character of the performance does not diminish that.”‘

Russian soldiers ‘used for sex’

‘The Russian military is reported to be investigating claims that army conscripts were forced to work as male prostitutes in St Petersburg. [..]

Last year, an 18-year-old soldier was so badly beaten that he had to have his legs and genitals amputated. [..]

A spokeswoman for the Soldiers’ Mothers, Ella Polyakova, told the BBC that in St Petersburg there was “a network of clients” who would pay for sex with soldiers.

Older servicemen are said to have forced younger conscripts into prostitution and then taken the money for themselves.’


How to Make Bacon Soap

‘Soap can be made from just about any kind of fat. Even though fat from bacon, called lard, isn’t the finest of fats to use for making soap, it somehow seemed to be the most exciting. Why? Because bacon is amazing. It has an almost mystical power to it and is a food that can be craved to almost no end. I figured what better way use the extra grease I had from cooking bacon then to turn it into soap!’

Attorneys: Man who gutted cellmate had mental problems

‘The man accused of killing his prison cellmate, then gutting him and hanging his intestines from a clothesline in his cell, has a history of brain injuries and untreated mental problems that would have made it difficult for him to think clearly, plot a murder or “resist impulses,” defense attorneys said today. [..]

In opening statements this morning, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brenda Taylor said the evidence is clear — and captured on a gruesome videotape — that William Sablan and his cousin Rudy Sablan killed Estrella. On the video, which guards began recording after they discovered Estrella dead in the cell, the Sablans are seen holding up Estrella’s organs, Taylor said. [..]

The 18 jurors, made up of 12 women and four men, are expected to see that video this afternoon.’


Secret new US spy base to get green light

‘Australia’s close military alliance with the United States is to be further entrenched with the building of a high-tech communications base in Western Australia.

The Federal Government is about to approve the base after three years of secret negotiations with Washington.

The Age has been told the base, which will be built on defence land at Geraldton, will provide a crucial link for a new network of military satellites that will help the US’s ability to fight wars in the Middle East and Asia. It will be the first big US military installation to be built in Australia in decades, and follows controversies over other big bases such as Pine Gap and North West Cape.’

Woman on cell phone hit, killed by train

‘A woman eating from a bowl and talking on a cell phone walked past a railroad crossing gate and into the path of a freight train, police said Monday. She later died.

Investigators suspect the incident Sunday was an accident but have subpoenaed the 26-year-old woman’s cell phone records to find out whom she was talking to.

“She wasn’t paying attention,” Lt. Mark Duke said.’


Greer out, Irwin in

‘She bagged him after he was fatally speared by a stingray – but Steve Irwin has overshadowed outspoken feminist Germaine Greer from beyond the grave.

His portrait has replaced the study of the writer and academic on the walls of Australia’s National Portrait Gallery.

The photograph of Greer, who penned a scathing criticism of Irwin days after his death, was pulled from the gallery and a portrait of the wildlife warrior installed in her place last week.’

Man faces more drug charges after aunt tries to help

‘A man’s plans to bail himself out after a drug bust went more than a bit awry over the weekend.

With the aid of a drug-sniffing dog, police found 48 grams of cocaine on the 32-year-old man after pulling him over for speeding, police said.

The suspect then arranged for his aunt to bring a small safe which he claimed contained money for his bail. But when his aunt opened the safe in front of a state trooper, they found cash, drug paraphernalia and another 16 grams of cocaine, police said.

Additional drug charges were filed against the man and his bond was increased to $125,000. He was later bailed out by another relative, police said.’

California Pastor Stole the Whole Church

‘For nearly a decade, members of Ripon’s First Congregational Church bared their souls to Pastor Randall Radic. But clearly it didn’t work both ways. There were certain things he wasn’t telling them.

That became obvious a year ago, when Radic pleaded guilty to betraying his flock and secretly selling the church and its rectory out from under them. He used the money to buy himself a brand-new black BMW and a laptop — exploits he later chronicled in a cheeky, almost gleeful blog about his double life as a sinner.

“We didn’t know anything until we got a call from the bank that he had bought a BMW,” said David Prater, who led the church board during Radic’s tenure. “He drove that car right down Main Street.”‘


Dogs pees upside down

‘A Chinese woman says her pet dog has taken to peeing upside down.

Mrs Chen, of Changchun city, says 18-month-old ‘Baby’ began peeing in the new position just three months ago.

“He used to pee as other dogs do. But one day I found him putting both hind legs up onto the tree to pee,” she told East Asia Business News.

“I thought maybe that was only for the one day. But from then on, unexpectedly, he would pee in that acrobatic position.”

Chen says Baby’s other unusual trait is that he is a vegetarian.’

Judge rules government supply of marijuana is inadequate

‘Medical researchers need more marijuana sources because government supplies aren’t meeting scientific demand, a federal judge has ruled.

In an emphatic but nonbinding opinion, the Drug Enforcement Administration’s own judge is recommending that a University of Massachusetts professor be allowed to grow a legal pot crop. The real winners could be those suffering from painful and wasting diseases, proponents believe.

“The existing supply of marijuana is not adequate,” Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen Bittner ruled.’


Teen assault called a prank that went too far

‘As a 13-year-old boy surrendered Tuesday on charges of assaulting a wrestling teammate by sticking a drumstick into his rectum, Nassau police said the boy insisted it was a prank that went too far. [..]

The boy, whose name wasn’t released because he is a juvenile, was described by peers as a prankster. He is scheduled to appear on the charges in Family Court in Westbury at a later day.

The alleged victim, also 13, was back at school Tuesday and seemed to be doing OK, schoolmates said. [..]

Before the attack, police said, the two boys were on good terms.’

Insecurity may drain your immune system

‘Feeling insecure in close relationships may take a toll on the immune system, preliminary Italian research suggests.

A team led by Dr Angelo Picardi from the Italian National Institute of Health in Rome reports its findings in the current issue of the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.

In a study of 61 healthy women the researchers found that those who had difficulty establishing close, trusting relationships showed signs of weaker immune function.

Specifically, lab experiments showed that the women’s “natural killer” immune system cells were less lethal compared with those from other study participants.’


Republican calls for email and IM monitoring

‘A bill introduced to the US House of Representatives would require ISPs to record all users’ surfing activity, IM conversations and email traffic indefinitely.

The bill, dubbed the Safety Act by sponsor Lamar Smith, a republican congressman from Texas, would impose fines and a prison term of one year on ISPs which failed to keep full records.’

Updates again soon..

Sorry about the lack of updates. I’ve migrated to a new server and have been busy fixing a few problems that have popped up.

One of the main problems was that mod_security was preventing me from loading the “Make A New Post” page, but if you can see this it means I can post again. So hooray. :)

Anyways, a few more things to fix up, and I’ll start posting again probably tomorrow or the next day.

Edit: Blah, decided I might aswell post some stuff now. ;)

Teacher Accused of Using Cocaine in Class

‘That’s when they say two fourth grade girls, one nine-years-old, the other 10-years-old, spotted Donatelli repeatedly dipping a pen cap into a small green plastic bag filled with white powder, and bringing it up to her nose. [..]

Lewiston-Porter Central Schools has an intensive drug and character education program for its students beginning in Kindergarten. School officials confirm Donatelli taught full-time during the 2003-2004 school year. That curriculum, say school officials, would have included a drug-education curriculum.’
