Disbelief- 98-year-old faces gambling charge
Some 42 women aged between 60 and 98 had received a summons to appear in court this month after police nabbed them playing a local version of gin rummy at a private residence in 2009.
Gambling for even the smallest amounts - in the women’s case, police netted a total figure of about 100 euros ($130) - is banned on the east Mediterranean island.
By contrast, online gambling, an industry which has an estimated turnover exceeding 1 billion euros per year, is unregulated although lawmakers plan to introduce legislation on the matter next month. “I asked for the file on the case and I immediately gave instructions for prosecution to be suspended,” Attorney-General Petros Clerides told state television.
The women, dubbed “Supergrans” by one newspaper, say their hobby helps keep their minds alert and allows them to socialise. “What would they have expected us to do when we are 96,” said Eftychia Yiasemidou. Now 98, the former schoolteacher says she still indulges in her favourite hobby. “I only stopped about 20 days ago, temporarily, because of the cold weather,” she told the Politis daily. (Reuters)

Lesson-Pervert Gets Two Years in Prison for Putting His Semen in Yogurt

While the repulsive crime might seem to merit harsher punishment, federal sentencing guidelines spared Anthony Garcia, 32, a lengthier term since he was considered a first-time offender (though he had been involved in a series of other instances of public indecency and is currently facing a state charge of having criminal sexual contact with a child under age 13).
Garcia, pictured in the above mug shot, pleaded guilty last year to adulterating a yogurt sample he gave to a 29-year-old customer at the Sunflower Market in Albuquerque
Investigators believe that Garcia gave similarly tainted samples to at least four other women, three of whom ingested the yogurt. In a sentencing motion, a federal prosecutor noted that Garcia “tricked his victim into placing his semen into her mouth,” since he “wanted to be in a position to witness the victim consume his bodily fluid.”
Upon his release from Bureau of Prisons custody, Garcia will be placed on probation for three years. Garcia’s two-year sentence matches the prison term given last month to Joseph Bartorillo, 60, who admitted injecting his semen into the yogurt containers of two female coworkers at a Procter & Gamble plant in Pennsylvania
Damages -Frenchman sues Google over Street View urination photo
NANTES, France — A Frenchman took Google to court Thursday over a photo published online by its Street View application showing him urinating in his front yard which he believes has made him the laughing stock of his village in rural northwest France.
The man, who is aged around 50 and lives in a village of some 3,000 people in the Maine-et-Loire region, is demanding the removal of the photo, in which locals have recognized him despite his face being blurred out. He also wants about $13,300 in damages.
"Everyone has the right to a degree of secrecy," his lawyer, Jean-Noel Bouillard, told Reuters. "In this particular case, it's more amusing than serious. But if he'd been caught kissing a woman other than his wife, he would have had the same issue."
Google's Street View, covering some 30 countries and available in France since 2008, enables users of Google Maps to also view photos of
Mistake--Colo.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper's flattering comments about Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia turned into a bit of a flub. The governor mistakenly referred to Garcia as a "rising sex star" Wednesday. He made the remark while introducing him at a childhood literacy event attended by about 40 children at a Denver
Why-Woman called 'slut' by Limbaugh (video)
President Barack Obama called Georgetown
Fluke appeared on TODAY Friday morning to talk about the comments, in which Limbaugh called her a "slut" for speaking out as a birth control activist.
However, Limbaugh doubled down on those comments during his show on Friday. He devoted much of the first half of the three-hour show to blasting Democrats and the “liberal” media for over-hyping the issue. They want to blame me as the person (women) should fear,” Limbaugh told listeners. On Friday, House Speaker John Boehner called Limbaugh’s comments “inappropriate.” TODAY.com was buzzing Friday with heated comments about the issue.
Some agreed with Limbaugh’s criticism: “She knew the risks, she made the choice,” wrote Mike Foster.“Being a law school student (sic) you’d think that she’d be smart enough to go to Planned Parenthood like every other ‘normal’ person,” wrote Jennifer Brown Bellgraph.
While others strongly disagreed: “This guy need (sic) to get off the air,” wrote Melissa Duncan. “There was no need to slander this woman and humiliate her to this degree.”
