DUH: Woman calls police to report harrassment over fact she had sex with 13-year-old

A woman who called police to complain that neighbors were harassing her for having sex with a teen was arrested on charges she had sex with a 13-year-old, police said.

Albany police said they were called by Arlayne Cheryl Curiel, 24, on Saturday because her neighbors were harassing her about having sex with a 13-year-old.

Police investigated and determined that Curiel met a 13-year-old boy walking in downtown Albany on Friday and later that night he went to Curiel's home at 2337 SE Salem Ave.

Curiel gave the boy alcohol and they both went to an unoccupied house next door, where they had sexual contact, police said.

Police arrested Curiel on charges of first-degree sex abuse, second-degree sodomy, second-degree rape, first-degree burglary and furnishing alcohol to a minor.

I agree. And this wasn't reported until SHE called the cops. Wow people are stupid. Like the crackhead who called the cops because someone sold her bad crack (it was an old episode of COPS)

Mother allergic to her own baby

Joanne Mackie, 28, was distraught after discovering she is allergic to her own baby. She developed terrible blisters and rashes shortly after giving birth to James.

Doctors were baffled at first but then diagnosed Joanne with Pemphigoid Gestationis - a rare skin disease caused by an allergic reaction to her baby. Joanne underwent steroid treatment and a month later was finally able to hold James without any pain.

Multi-dimensional Sphere Problem from 1950s Solved.

When mathematicians talk about higher-dimensional spaces, they are referring to the number of variables, or dimensions, needed to locate a point in such a space. The surface of the earth is two-dimensional because two coordinates—latitude and longitude—are needed to specify any point on it. In more formal terms, the standard two-dimensional sphere is the set of points equidistant from a point in 2 + 1 = 3 dimensions. More generally, the standard n-dimensional sphere, or n-sphere for short, is the set of points that are at the same distance from a center point in a space of n + 1 dimensions. Spheres are among the most basic spaces in topology, the branch of mathematics that studies which properties are unchanged when an object is deformed without crushing or ripping it. Topology comes up in many studies, including those trying to determine the shape of our universe.

In recent years mathematicians have completed the classification of 3-D spaces that are “compact,” meaning that they are finite and with no edges [see “The Shapes of Space,” by Graham P. Collins; Scientific American, July 2004]. (A sphere is compact, but an infinite plane is not.) Thus, they have figured out the topologies of all possible universes, as long as those universes are compact and three-dimensional. In more than three dimensions, however, the complete classification has turned out to be intractable and even logically impossible. Topologists had hoped at least that spaces as simple as spheres would be easy enough.

John Milnor, now at Stony Brook University, complicated matters somewhat in the 1950s, when he discovered the first “exotic” 7-sphere. An exotic n-sphere is a sphere from the point of view of topology. But it is not equivalent to a standard n-sphere from the point of view of differential calculus, the language in which physics theories are formulated. The discrepancy has consequences for equations such as those that describe the motion of particles or the propagation of waves. It means that solutions to such equations (or even their formulation) on one space cannot be mapped onto the other without developing kinks, or “singularities.” Physically, the two spheres are different, incompatible worlds.

In 1963 Milnor and his colleague Michel Kervaire calculated the number of exotic 7-spheres and found that there were exactly 27 different ones. In fact, they calculated the number of n-spheres for any n from five up. Their counts, however, had an ambiguity—a possible factor of two—when n is an even number. William Browder of Princeton University later removed that ambiguity, except for dimensions of the type n = 2k - 2, starting with k = 7—specifically, 126, 254, 510, and so on. In other words, mathematicians could only guess the number of exotic spheres in these dimensions to within a factor of two, known as the Kervaire invariant because of its relation to an earlier concept invented by Kervaire.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A woman charged with murdering her 3 1/2-week-old son used a knife and two swords to dismember the child and ate parts of his body, including his brain, before stabbing herself in the torso and slicing her own throat, police said Monday.

McManus, who appeared uncomfortable as he addressed reporters, said Sanchez apparently ate the child's brain and some other body parts. She also tore his face off, chewed off three of his toes and decapitated the infant before stabbing herself.

"It's too heinous for me to describe it any further," McManus said.

The worst part of the whole damn thing is that the guy said, "its too heinous for me to describe further." Which implies it actually gets worse.

Done with this thread for now...going to go think happy thoughts...

Yeah, my Dad asked me if I had read the paper that day and I told him yes. And he was like "Well, did you see the story about the woman who ate her baby's brains?" And I was all "BubbawaSCHWA?! ZOMBIES!"

State Senator Caught Masturbating at YMCA

Vermont State Senator, Ed Flanagan, was apparently tugging his joystick at a YMCA in Burlington, Vermont. Two other Y members walked in on the Senator, who appeared to pleasuring himself on a bench. You know, it’s always kind of felt like American government was just an extension of old Roman government. And given all the deviant sexual behavior on behalf of congressmen, legislators, and politicians throughout the years, clearly that isn’t much of a stretch at all.

Bad Kitty!: Fla. man blames cat paws for child porn downloads

JENSEN BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Florida investigators say a man accused of downloading child pornography is blaming his cat. Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 images on his home computer.

According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned.

Griffin is being held on $250,000 bond in the Martin County jail. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

Mom throws away Gundam figures, son burns down house.

Police in Kasai City near Kobe have arrested a 29-year-old factory worker named Yoshifumi Takabe on suspicion of burning down his own home on Sunday. The suspect reportedly doused his room with kerosene and lit it with a lighter around 2:10 p.m. on Sunday. The resulting fire eventually burned down the two-story house, which was about 250 square meters (about 2,700 square feet) and made partially from wood.

The police investigators say that the suspect had doused himself with kerosene, but had escaped the fire without injuries. His 55-year-old mother was also in the house but escaped without injuries. According to the police, the suspect said that his mother had gotten rid of his "valuable" Gundam plastic models, so he wanted to kill himself.

Police: 500-pound inmate hid gun in his flab
Three separate body searches failed to locate 9mm pistol, officials say

Houston Police Department / AP

George Vera, 25, was charged with possession of a firearm in a correctional facility after he told a guard at the Harris County Jail about the unloaded 9mm pistol.

The Houston Chronicle reported Thursday that Vera was originally arrested on charges of selling illegal copies of compact discs.

The 500-pound man was searched during his arrest and again at a city jail and the county jail, but officers never found the weapon.

Vera admitted having the gun during a shower break at the county jail.

FBI: Man gives teller ID before robbing bank

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- A 34-year-old man is in custody after authorities say he gave a teller his account number and showed her his picture ID before robbing an Anchorage bank.

The FBI says Jarell Paul Arnold of Anchorage is being held on federal bank robbery charges.

The FBI alleges Arnold walked into an Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branch Friday and inquired about the balance on his account. The teller asked for his name, account number and ID.

Authorities say he complied, and then handed over a receipt with a note on the back that said he had a gun and demanded money.

The FBI says he got away with about $600. Authorities arrested Arnold on Monday. A message left after business hours Wednesday with Arnold's public defender, Michael Dieni, was not immediately returned.

Court records say Arnold was sentenced to 57 months in prison for bank robbery in 2004.

Cops Bust Guy Selling Oven Door Disguised as HDTV

Wow, good try. San Leandro, California police stopped a man after reports he tried to sell an HDTV at a Wal-Mart parking lot. However! It turned out to be a plastic-wrapped glass oven door with Sony and Best Buy stickers.

The man is suspected of trying to charge $100 for what appeared to be a 37-inch flat screen television. He had even stuffed electronic cables and a manual in the back.

Quote:

San Leandro police Lt. Pete Ballew called it a variation on the old "rocks in a box" scam, in which a box is presented as containing new, expensive electronics for sale but is actually full of rocks.

Most of us would spot the scam a mile away, but it does make you wonder if anyone would fall for it. I certainly know a couple of people (including my Dad) who might.

Camera abandoned by student on mountain top is returned full of snaps of fellow walkers

A student left a camera on a picturesque mountaintop in Snowdonia in an experiment into human trust.
Paul Bellis Jones, 24, left a note with the camera near the summit of Mount Tryfan, instructing walkers to take a picture then leave it for the next person.

He was keen to know if the camera would be returned to his home in Glan Conwy, near Llandudno, as per his instructions, of if it would be stolen instead.

Thankfully for Mr Jones, over 30 ramblers took photographs of themselves at the beauty spot, which overlooks two large rocks near the summit.
When the film ran out four days later, the camera was personally returned to his house by a National Park warden.
The student, who left the camera and accompanying note in a sealed bag, launched the experiment in mid-May.

He said: 'I was speaking to a friend who said you can't trust anyone, anywhere these days.
'I didn't want to believe that so I set up this experiment to found out what might happen and proved you can trust people.'
