  1. My Webpage Man reaches for 'tick' but grabs buttocks, police say By JACQUELINE SEIBEL Waukesha - Police in Waukesha and Milwaukee counties are looking for a man accused of telling women they have a tick on them, then grabbing them in the buttocks, and sometimes trying to pull their pants down, police said. Advertisement The man struck at three places in Waukesha, two in Muskego, and at least one in Franklin and Hales Corners, police said. He favors places where a female, age 17 to 30, is working alone, such as tanning salons and small retail establishments. "We've got a good lead on a suspect," said Muskego Police Sgt. Craig Simuncak. The man operates a truck with the name of a tree service written in yellow or gold letters on the side of the vehicle. One woman said the man was also wearing a jacket with the business' name. The women describe the man as white, between 45 and 55 years old, about 6 feet tall, and unshaven with gray hair. In Muskego, the man entered GNC, W189-S7823 Racine Ave., and Sundeck tanning salon, S74-W17061 Janesville Road, between 4:30 and 5 p.m., Monday, Simuncak said. He approached the women working at the businesses and told them there was a tick on them and it was moving to their backside. In one case, the man grabbed the woman's belt loop and attempted to look down her pants, he said. In Waukesha, the man is accused of entering Sunset Tan, 143 E. Sunset Drive, at about 5:30 p.m., Monday and approaching the female employee, said Capt. Mike Babe. He tried to pull down the woman's pants, telling her that there was a tick in her pants. She stopped him and he left. Then, he entered Carriage Cleaners, 145 E. Sunset Drive, which is adjacent to the tanning salon, Babe said. He tried to coax the female employee into the bathroom, touched her buttocks and told her that there was a tick in her pants. The woman stopped him and he left. The man is also accused of entering Paradise Tan, 2140 W. St. Paul Ave., in Waukesha and telling the female employee that there was a tick on her backside. She ran to the bathroom and took off her clothes, attempting to find the insect. When she exited the bathroom, the man was waiting right at the door, Babe said. Police learned of this incident on Tuesday but it occurred about 3 p.m., on Oct. 30. A similar incident occurred on Aug. 14 in Franklin, said Capt. Clark Groen. A woman, 30, was walking about 1:15 p.m. near S. 116th St. and Rhoder Ave., when a man driving a truck with the name of a tree service business on the side and towing a trailer, pulled alongside her. The man got out of the truck, leaving the door open, and asked the woman for directions, Groen said. He then told the woman that there was a tick on her back. She attempted to brush it away, but he said it was lower and asked her if he could brush it off for her. He then said the tick moved down into the back of her shorts and he motioned for her to get into his truck so she would have privacy in removing the tick. She said no and walked away. Groen said the woman did not want to file a complaint but wanted police to be aware of the incident. The man never touched the woman, she just felt it was odd, he said. "It's pretty strange," Groen said. A Franklin officer attempted to locate the tree service business but could not find a listing for it, Groen said. A female employee was approached by a man at a tanning salon on Monday in Hales Corners, said Lt. Steve Murphy, adding that the incident is similar to what occurred in Waukesha, Muskego, and Franklin. When caught, the man could be charged with fourth-degree sexual assault or disorderly conduct, police said.
  2. Article with pics. Parents Won't Go On Trial For Covering Up Teen-Teacher Relationship STRONGSVILLE, Ohio -- A Strongsville couple will not be tried on charges that they covered up a high school teacher's sexual affair with their teenage son. Steven Bradigan, 20, said his relationship with 39-year-old Christine Scarlett began when he was 17 years old and a junior at Strongsville High School. In June, a grand jury had previously indicted Lawrence Bradigan, 53, and his 52-year-old wife, Mary. Officials said the couple will enter a court "diversion" program that will erase the charge if they meet certain conditions. Christine Scarlett, 39, allegedly held a win a date with a teacher contest, and took Bradigan to Dairy Queen. Bradigan said Scarlett then made a move on him in the parking lot of a Strongsville mall. Bradigan said a sexual relationship followed, but his family and his attorney said when the incident was reported, the school district did little to pursue an investigation.
  3. I really got into surfing this past summer. I'd wake up, go to the beach, and surf for a few hours before work every day. Kiteboarding seems to be the new big thing. I'm buying my gear now and look forward to a long summer of trying to get myself killed. http://myrtlebeachkiteboarding.com/movies/whatever.wmv

  5. Even Terrell Owens Is Talking About the Tony Romo-Jessica Simpson Gossip Posted Nov 21st 2006 11:57AM by Michael David Smith In a story that we at Cowboys FanHouse have been on top of for weeks, it's now being reported all over the mainstream media that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is having a great month for a much bigger reason than just his on-field exploits -- he's also dating Jessica Simpson. Romo had said publicly that he had a crush on Simpson, and then Simpson's people got in touch with Romo's people and paired them up. (Wouldn't it be nice to have "people" whose job is to do such things for you?) The pairing has advanced beyond the rumor phase and is now fodder for Romo's teammates to discuss: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens was asked about the couple on his radio show and Owens joked that maybe he and Romo can double-date with Jessica and Ashlee. So, congratulations are in order. Tony Romo is one of the best young quarterbacks in the league and his team has just moved into first place in the NFC East, and when Bill Parcells yells at him at practice, he's secure in the knowledge that Jessica Simpson will be at home to console him.

  11. My Webpage 50 Worst Songs Ever: The Bocephus Edition The series on VH1 premiers this Wednesday, so I figured it's high time we here at the BC dot C took a look at this list, compiled by the tools over at Blender magazine of the 50 worst songs ever. My opinion: It's a buncha bull sh--. Not even in the way that most of these VH1 lists are bull sh--. At least with, say the Rolling Stone 50 (or was it 100?) Greatest Pop Songs, they were kinda on to something and gave you something you could sit around with friends and B word about (or sit alone in the dark and B word at the TV).

  12. To quote him this morning, "We don't give our badge number out to people not involved. We are also not required to give our number out to the person being arrested because all that information will be on the ticket".
  13. First off, Wikipedia is not a creditable source. At least it wasn't when I went to college. Second, how do you expect to put up an argument about something you haven't seen? And you want to know why you come off sounding like the village idiot. My roommate has crashed for the night. But I still believe someone who has been to the police academy over you. Saying the police have compete power over you is a broad statement. Perhaps you can give me some specific examples.
  14. The student was interfering with the arrest. At the time Tabatabainejad was resisting arrest, and the officer told the students to back up. That was a lawful order that they must obey. But keep googling laws that have nothing to do with this. It's becoming quite obvious you have no idea how to apply them to a real life situation.
  15. I see reading comprehension isn't one of your strong points. Look up 'obstruction of justice' under misdemeanors and get back with me. Be sure to highlight the part that says you can't interfere with an arresting officer. Which is clearly what they are doing in the video.
  16. My roommate, a SWAT team officer with a masters in Police Administration, said you need to ask for your tuition money back. But don't let that discourage you in your future endeavors.

  18. Ok, i'll play devil's advocate.... He continued to fight police after he was handcuffed and on the ground. If he cooperated with the popo from the start, things would have never escalated into this. What's wrong with that? You can't intervene when a police officer is making an arrest. They are lucky they weren't tased and arrested with him.
  19. Article Community responds to Taser use in Powell By Sara Taylor An incident late Tuesday night in which a UCLA student was stunned at least four times with a Taser has left the UCLA community questioning whether the university police officers' use of force was an appropriate response to the situation. Mostafa Tabatabainejad, a UCLA student, was repeatedly stunned with a Taser and then taken into custody when he did not exit the CLICC Lab in Powell Library in a timely manner. Community Service Officers had asked Tabatabainejad to leave after he failed to produce his BruinCard during a random check at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. UCPD Assistant Chief of Police Jeff Young said the checks are a standard procedure in the library after 11 p.m. "Because of the safety of the students we limit the use after 11 to just students, staff and faculty," Young said. Young said the CSOs on duty in the library at the time went to get UCPD officers when Tabatabainejad did not immediately leave, and UCPD officers resorted to use of the Taser when Tabatabainejad did not do as he was told. A six-minute video showed Tabatabainejad audibly screaming in pain as he was stunned several times with a Taser, each time for three to five seconds. He was told repeatedly to stand up and stop fighting, and was told that if he did not do so he would "get Tased again." "(He was) no possible danger to any of the police," Zaragoza said. "(He was) getting shocked and Tasered as he was handcuffed." But Young said at the time the police likely had no way of knowing whether the individual was armed or that he was a student. As Tabatabainejad was being dragged through the room by two officers, he repeated in a strained scream, "I'm not fighting you" and "I said I would leave." The officers used the "drive stun" setting in the Taser, which delivers a shock to a specific part of the body with the front of the Taser, Young said. A Taser delivers volts of low-amperage energy to the body, causing a disruption of the body's electrical energy pulses and locking the muscles, according to a report by the American Civil Liberties Union. "It's an electrical shock. ... It causes pain," Young said, adding that the drive stun would not likely demobilize a person or cause residual pain after the shock was administered. Young also said a Taser is less forceful than a baton, for example. But according to a study published in the Lancet Medical Journal in 2001, a charge of three to five seconds can result in immobilization for five to 15 minutes, which would mean that Tabatabainejad could have been physically unable to stand when the officers demanded that he do so. "It is a real mistake to treat a Taser as some benign thing that painlessly brings people under control," said Peter Eliasberg, managing attorney at the ACLU of Southern California. "The Taser can be incredibly violent and result in death," Eliasberg said. According to an ACLU report, 148 people in the United States and Canada have died as a result of the use of Tasers since 1999. During the altercation between Tabatabainejad and the officers, bystanders can be heard in the video repeatedly asking the officers to stop and requesting their names and identification numbers. The video showed one officer responding to a student by threatening that the student would "get Tased too." At this point, the officer was still holding a Taser. Such a threat of the use of force by a law enforcement officer in response to a request for a badge number is an "illegal assault," Eliasberg said. "It is absolutely illegal to threaten anyone who asks for a badge â€" that's assault," he said. Tabatabainejad was released from custody after being given a citation for obstruction/delay of a peace officer in the performance of duty. Neither Tabatabainejad nor his family were giving interviews Wednesday. Police officers said they determined the use of Tasers was necessary when Tabatabainejad did not do as they asked. According to a UCPD press release, Tabatabainejad went limp and refused to exit as the officers attempted to escort him out. The release also stated Tabatabainejad "encouraged library patrons to join his resistance." At this point, the officers "deemed it necessary to use the Taser in a "drive stun' capacity." "He wasn't cooperative; he wouldn't identify himself. He resisted the officers," Young said. Neither the video footage nor eyewitness accounts of the events confirmed that Tabatabainejad encouraged resistance, and he repeatedly told the officers he was not fighting and would leave. Tabatabainejad was walking with his backpack toward the door when he was approached by two UCPD officers, one of whom grabbed the student's arm. In response, Tabatabainejad yelled at the officers to "get off me." Following this demand, Tabatabainejad was stunned with a Taser. UCPD and the UCLA administration would not comment on the specifics of the incident as it is still under investigation. In a statement released Wednesday, Interim Chancellor Norman Abrams said investigators were reviewing the situation and the officers' actions. "I can assure you that these reviews will be thorough, vigorous and fair," Abrams said. The incident, which Zaragoza described as an example of "police brutality," left many students disturbed. "I realize when looking at these kind of arrest tapes that they don't always show the full picture. ... But that six minutes that we can watch just seems like it's a ridiculous amount of force for someone being escorted because they forgot their BruinCard," said Ali Ghandour, a fourth-year anthropology student. "It certainly makes you wonder if something as small as forgetting your BruinCard can eventually lead to getting Tased several times in front of the library," he added. Edouard Tchertchian, a third-year mathematics student, said he was concerned that the student was not offered any other means of showing that he was a UCLA student.

  22. My Webpage School board votes to dump JROTC program Jill Tucker, Chronicle Staff Writer After 90 years in San Francisco high schools, the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps must go, the San Francisco school board decided Tuesday night. The Board of Education voted 4-2 to eliminate the popular program, phasing it out over two years. Dozens of JROTC cadets at the board meeting burst into tears or covered their faces after the votes were cast. "We're really shocked,'' said fourth-year Cadet Eric Chu, a senior at Lowell High School, his eyes filling with tears. "It provided me with a place to go." The proposal approved by the board also creates a task force to develop alternatives to the program that will be tried out next year at various high schools. The board's decision was loudly applauded by opponents of the program. Their position was summed up by a former teacher, Nancy Mancias, who said, "We need to teach a curriculum of peace." The board's move to dismantle the popular program was led by board members Dan Kelly and Mark Sanchez with support from Sarah Lipson and Eric Mar. Casting votes against it were Jill Wynns and Norman Yee. Board member Eddie Chin was absent. "I think people should not despair too much," Sanchez said. "I think now the work begins -- to work within the community to develop new programs that will fulfill the needs of our students." About 1,600 San Francisco students participate in JROTC at seven high schools across the district. Opponents said the armed forces should have no place in public schools, and the military's discriminatory stance on gays makes the presence of JROTC unacceptable. "We don't want the military ruining our civilian institutions," said Sandra Schwartz of the American Friends Service Committee, an organization actively opposing JROTC nationwide. "In a healthy democracy ... you contain the military. You must contain the military." Students, parents and school staff from each of the seven high schools converged outside the school board meeting carrying signs and waving at cars, some of which honked in support. At least 100 cadets edged into Franklin Street waving their signs before being pushed back to the sidewalk by their ROTC instructors. Yet, in the end, the effort -- one of several rallies in the last several weeks -- fell on deaf ears. "This is where the kids feel safe, the one place they feel safe," Robert Powell, a JROTC instructor at Lincoln High School and a retired Army lieutenant colonel, said earlier in the evening. "You're going to take that away from them?" Opponents acknowledged the program is popular and even helps some students stay in school and out of trouble. Yet they also said the program exists to lure students to sign up for the armed forces. "It's basically a branding program, or a recruiting program for the military," Kelly said before the meeting. The school district and the military share the $1.6 million annual cost of the program, with the military paying $586,000, or half the salaries of 15 instructors -- all of whom are retired military personnel. The district pays the other half of salaries and $394,000 in benefits. Earlier, Mayor Gavin Newsom weighed in on the debate, chastising the board for the effort to eliminate JROTC. "The move sends the wrong message," he said. "It's important for the city not to be identified with disrespecting the sacrifice of men and women in uniform." Students in the program receive physical education or elective credits required for graduation. A budget analysis found that the district could hire nine teachers with the money the district now spends on JROTC -- enough to cover the gym and elective courses for the 1,600 students should the program be eliminated. But there wouldn't be money to create an alternative program serving that many students, Wynns said. "I think the people who want to get rid of it have a responsibility to look at how we're going to pay for that and what we're going to do to replace it," she added. Newsom also said he believed the vote would push more city residents away from the public schools. "You think this is going to help keep families in San Francisco?" the mayor added. "No. It's going to hurt." On other matters, the board introduced a resolution that makes race a factor in deciding what school a child will attend starting with the 2008-09 school year. No action was taken.
  23. My Webpage Belmont to be first U.S. city to ban all smoking By Dana Yates, Daily Journal Staff Belmont is set to make history by becoming the first city in the nation to ban smoking on its streets and almost everywhere else. The Belmont City Council voted unanimously last night to pursue a strict law that will prohibit smoking anywhere in the city except for single-family detached residences. Smoking on the street, in a park and even in one’s car will become illegal and police would have the option of handing out tickets if they catch someone. The actual language of the law still needs to be drafted and will likely come back to the council either in December or early next year. “We have a tremendous opportunity here. We need to pass as stringent a law as we can, I would like to make it illegal,” said Councilman Dave Warden. “What if every city did this, image how many lives would be saved? If we can do one little thing here at this level it will matter.” Armed with growing evidence that second-hand smoke causes negative health effects, the council chose to pursue the strictest law possible and deal with any legal challenges later. Last month, the council said it wanted to pursue a law similar to ones passed in Dublin and the Southern California city of Calabasas. It took up the cause after a citizen at a senior living facility requested smoke be declared a public nuisance, allowing him to sue neighbors who smoke. The council was concerned about people smoking in multi-unit residences. “I would just like to say ‘no smoking’ and see what happens and if they do smoke, [someone] has the right to have the police come and give them a ticket,” said Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach. The council’s decision garnered applause from about 15 people who showed up in support of the ordinance. One woman stood up and blew kisses to the council, another pumped his fist with satisfaction. “I’m astounded. I admire their courage and unanimous support,” said Serena Chen, policy director of the American Lung Association of California. Chen has worked in this area since 1991 and helped many cities and counties pass no smoking policies, but not one has been willing to draft a complete ban. “I feel like the revolution is taking place and I am trying to catch up,” Chen told the council. The decision puts Belmont on the forefront of smoking policy and it is already attracting attention from other states. “You have the ability to do something a little more extraordinary than Dublin or Calabasas. I see what they’ve done as five or six on the Richter Scale. What the citizens of Belmont, and of America, need is five brave people to do something that’s a seven or eight on the Richter Scale,” said Philip Henry Jarosz of the Condominium Council of Maui. “The whole state of Hawaii is watching” he said. Councilman Warren Lieberman said he was concerned the city will pass a law it cannot enforce because residents will still smoke unless police are specifically called to a situation. Police cannot go out and enforce smoking rules, he said. “It makes us hypocrites by saying you know you can break the law if no one is watching,” Lieberman said. However, both Feierbach and Warden argued it is the same as jaywalking, having a barking dog or going 10 miles over the speed limit. All are illegal, but seldom enforced. “You can’t walk down the street with a beer, but you can have a cigarette,” Warden said. “You shouldn’t be allowed to do that. I just think it shouldn’t be allowed anywhere except in someone’s house. If you want to do that, that’s fine.”
