Feds search apartment, seek clues in Boston Marathon attack


Image

BOSTON (AP) — FBI agents searched a suburban Boston apartment overnight and appealed to the public for amateur video and photos that might yield clues to who carried out the Boston Marathon bombing, while a doctor treating the wounded said one of the victims was maimed by what looked like ball bearings or BBs.

Two bombs blew up seconds apart Monday at the finish line of one of the world’s most storied races, tearing off limbs and leaving the streets spattered with blood and strewn with broken glass. Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 140 were wounded.

Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings on one of the city’s biggest civic holidays, Patriots Day. But the blasts raised the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

President Barack Obama was careful not to use the words “terror” or “terrorism” as he spoke at the White House on Monday, but an administration official said the bombings were being treated as an act of terrorism.

“We will find out who did this. We’ll find out why they did this,” the president said. “Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice.”

Across the U.S., from Washington to Los Angeles, police tightened security, monitoring landmarks, government buildings, transit hubs and sporting events.

The FBI took charge of the investigation, converging on a home in the suburb of Revere on Monday night and appealing for any video, audio and photos taken by marathon spectators. Authorities gave no details on the search. Investigators were seen leaving a building there early Tuesday carrying brown paper bags, plastic trash bags and a duffel bag.

Investigators refused to give any specifics on the bombs and say, for example, where they might have been hidden or whether they were packed with shrapnel for maximum carnage, as is often the case in terror bombings overseas.

But Dr. Stephen Epstein of the emergency medicine department at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said he saw an X-ray of one victim’s leg that had “what appears to be small, uniform, round objects throughout it — similar in the appearance to BBs.” He said it remained to be determined what exactly the objects were.

(No link)Suit claims man was fired by Boca Raton Starbucks because of his HIV status

A Fort Lauderdale man has sued a Starbucks in suburban Boca Raton, claiming he was fired shortly after he told his supervisor he was HIV-positive. Former Starbucks manager Stephen Barbosa, 34, said he was fired after he returned to work from a two-month medical leave, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court.His supervisor allegedly accused him of manipulating the time clock and cited his repeated absences for his dismissal, the suit says, adding the action violated the Americans With Disability Act. Before the firing, Barbosa had worked as a Starbucks manager for four years.

Florida woman who was set on fire at gas station hit with huge car tow fees


Ex-beau is accused of setting woman on fire, she’s hit with tow charges for her car AND his

Talk about adding insult to injury.

A Florida woman who was set on fire in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven earlier this week was charged hundreds of dollars to cover the cost to police for towing her car from the scene, WPBF News reported.

Naomie Breton, 34, is recovering from her injuries after the father of her son, Roosevelt Mondesir, allegedly doused her with gasoline and set her ablaze Monday night.

She came away from the horrific attack with second- and third-degree burns. Mondesir, 52, is being held without bond on an attempted first-degree murder charge.

Now Zuccala’s Towing is telling Breton that she has to pay $340 in fees for her own car, as well as $363 and a $25 late fee for the car of her alleged attacker — because Mondesir’s car is still registered under her name.

“I think it’s a disgrace,” Breton told the television station Thursday. “It’s not like I had a choice of where my car went to. I was on fire.”

Police towed the car as the mother of three was rushed being rushed to the hospital Monday, according to WPTV.

The owner of the towing company told WPTV that Breton is responsible for the costs under Florida law, but that they’ll try to negotiate a solution with her on the cost of the second car.

IDAHO MAN FACES THIRD CONVICTION OF HIV TRANSMISSION


1236961170In 1990 Kerry Thomas, 45, had the dubious distinction of being the first ever person in the state of Idaho to be convicted for transmitting HIV. Now the former Boise State athlete is being charged again for wittingly passing on the virus that causes AIDS.

According to a CNN report, a grand jury in Ada County, Idaho, this week returned an indictment charging Thomas with seven counts of knowingly transferring the HIV virus. Thomas was previously convicted in 1990, after being charged with four counts of HIV transmission and two counts of statutory rape, Ada County deputy prosecutor Jean Fisher told CNN. The convict pleaded guilty only to the rape charges, as part of a plea agreement. Thomas received a 12-year sentence, from which he was released early.

Amazingly, in 1996 Thomas was again charged with a similar crime. He was convicted on one count of HIV transmission and received a 15-year sentence with a 7-year minimum for his second offense.

Now out on parole, Thomas is at it again and and may face stricter sentencing this time. Though each of the seven counts carries a maxiumum of 15 years and a $50,000 fine, prosecutors are seeking his designation as a “persistent violator,” which would make him eligible for a life sentence.

9# WOMAN LEAVES HUSBAND TO GO TO BATHROOM DURING FOOTBALL GAME … MEETS MAN ON THE WAY …. HAS WILD PUBLIC SEX WITH HIM IN THE STALL … GETS ARRESTED … HUSBAND BAILS HER OUT

shockedMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — While the Hawkeyes were stomping the Gophers on the Metrodome field last weekend, police said two Iowa fans were having a romp of a different kind in a restroom. Both events, police say, had their share of cheering fans.

A 38-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man turned to a handicapped stall for their tryst Saturday evening.

On the field, the Hawkeyes were on their way to 55-0 trouncing of the Gophers. In the restroom, a crowd of intoxicated fans gathered to cheer the off-the-field event.

Eventually, a security guard tipped off University of Minnesota police. Officers had to interrupt the couple to cite them for indecent conduct, a misdemeanor.

Police Chief Greg Hestness said the woman initially gave a false name to officers. She was released to her husband and the man was released to his girlfriend.

Both people in the stall were intoxicated.

6# Hurricane Katrina: Children Still Suffering from Storm

newslogohealthAlthough they survived one of the most horrific storms in history, the children who outlived Hurricane Katrina in 2005 are now the sickest children in America, according to a new report from Columbia University and the Children’s Health Fund.

Details of the study are found in the New York Daily News and cites that the children who lived through the storm ended up in formaldehyde-laced FEMA trailers. Out of the 261 children examined, 41 percent of those under 4 have iron deficiency anemia, 55 percent of those 6 and older now have mental problems and a third have impaired hearing or vision.

More than half of the children affected by the storm were from New Orleans Parish and disproportionately African-American.

5#HELL’S KITCHEN HOST UNDER FIRE

gordon_tana_ramsay This is what Enquirer is reporting:

Turns out TV chef Gordon Ramsay has something cooking on the side — and she’s a hot dish. The Hell’s Kitchen star has been having a seven-year affair, according to the News of the World.

Ramsay, married for 12 years to a schoolteacher, was caught leaving a high-priced London hotel after meeting up with Sarah Symonds, a Brit known for having affairs with powerful married men. She even wrote a book called Having an Affair: A Handbook for the Other Woman.

The Kitchen Nightmares host — and father of four! — allegedly began the affair in 2001 after meeting Symonds at a London nightclub

. Symonds, according to the report, even appeared on Hell’s Kitchen posing as a dinner guest.

Ramsey’s spokesperson, Jessica Chan, told The ENQUIRER, “Gordon is not available for comment.”

Sounds like a real nightmare!

4# Syracuse woman is accused of having sex with 3 teen boys

shockedSyracuse police have arrested a woman accused of engaging in an ongoing sexual relationship with three teenage boys.

Police said their investigation began Nov. 19 when detectives began looking into rumors that a woman had been sending nude pictures of herself to a teenage boy.

“When we looked into the person she sent it to, he’s an 18-year-old male,” Syracuse Police Lt. Tracy Jensen said Tuesday. “However, we were concerned because of the rumors we were hearing.”

When police brought the 40-year-old woman in for questioning, she disclosed that she’d had sexual relationships with three boys, ages 15 to 17, Jensen said.

“It’s gone on and off for six months to a year,” he said. “She knew the victims through friends of her daughter’s and in the neighborhood.”

The woman was booked into the Davis County Jail last week on investigation of unlawful sex with a minor, unlawful sexual conduct and dealing materials harmful to a minor. She posted bail and was released. The Davis County Attorney’s Office is screening any possible charges, police said.

Jensen said detectives are looking for more possible victims but acknowledged there may be difficulty in getting anyone else to come forward.”The consensus is going to be that guys don’t want to come forward because they’re really not victims,” he said. “There is definitely a different persona when you put a twist where a female is taking advantage of a male. But the law is very clear, and we don’t differentiate, because it does break the law.”

3# Why you can’t trust ‘friends’ on Facebook :Facebook is popular and growing — especially with criminals. Here’s why they love it.

(Computerworld) Every form of communication, from snail-mail to e-mail, chat and others, is subject to fraud and scams. But social networks like Facebook are subject to new, more dangerous opportunities for fraud.With e-mail and IM spam and Internet scams, the whole social-engineering game is to get you to trust a stranger. But social networks are different. The goal there is to get you to believe the fraudster is a friend whom you already trust.

If you’re on Facebook, you’ve no doubt got a bunch of friends. And if you’re like most Facebook users, you’re certain those friends are exactly who they say they are. And you might be right. Or you could be wrong. They could be scammers posing as your friends.Read full story….

2# Woman Convicted of Misdemeanors in MySpace Suicide Case

megan_meierA Missouri woman accused in a MySpace hoax that ended in a girl’s suicide was convicted Wednesday of three misdemeanor charges by an L.A. jury that rejected more serious felonies.

Lori Drew, 49, faces up to three years in prison after the federal jury declined to convict her on three felony charges and couldn’t decide on a fourth. The felony counts had carried a maximum 20-year term.

Lori Drew, 49, allegedly posed as a 16-year-old boy named Josh Evans on MySpace and participated in what the prosecutor called “an elaborate scheme to inflict massive humiliation” on the emotionally fragile Meier that ended when the girl hanged herself.

Drew showed little emotion as the panel, after one day of deliberation, found her guilty of three misdemeanor counts of unauthorized computer access, sometimes referred to as hacking. The jury said it was hopelessly deadlocked on a felony conspiracy charge.

In what was being called the nation’s first cyber-bulling trial, Drew, of Dardenne Prairie, Mo., was accused of hatching the MySpace romance plan in 2006 because of a feud between Drew’s daughter and Meier. The fictional Josh concluded the online flirting by sending a message saying the world would be better off without Meier.

Meier, who had a history of depression, then hung herself in a closet with a belt. She died the next day.
