Fake doctor charged in castration case
Tuesday, October 7, 2003 Posted: 10:17 AM EDT (1417 GMT) McKEESPORT, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A man who police say posed as a doctor and castrated a transgendered woman at her request was ordered Monday to stand trial for aggravated assault. Doug Lenhart, 48, also is charged with reckless endangerment and unauthorized practice of medicine and surgery. No trial date was set, and Lenhart was free on $25,000 bond. Catherine Watson, 45, told a district court judge at a preliminary hearing that she nearly bled to death from the September 12 procedure, which was done on the dining room table of her McKeesport home in suburban Pittsburgh. She had to be hospitalized. Asked by Justice Thomas Brletic if she wanted to see Lenhart prosecuted, a weeping Watson didn't answer directly. "I don't want him to do this again. ... I don't think he's capable," she said. Allegheny County prosecutor Shanicka Kennedy said Watson's wishes were irrelevant because the state was prosecuting. Watson testified that she is a transgendered woman who became "Catherine" when she was 6. She found Lenhart through the Internet and agreed to pay him $800. He told her he was a doctor, but not licensed in Pennsylvania, and had performed 23 other castrations, she said. Police say Lenhart has no medical license. His attorney, James Waymard, said Lenhart had "some experience in this area" and said he felt Lenhart was qualified to perform the procedure. Watson said she was awake throughout the procedure and in "horrible pain." She said she believed she was bleeding internally, and a friend called an ambulance. In April, a man was convicted in Pontiac, Michigan, of practicing medicine without a license for performing a castration in his kitchen. He was sentenced to 14 months to four years in prison. Prosecutors said the man underwent the castration to curb his sex drive because he had a sexually transmitted disease. |
a kitchen table?
this woman paid $ 800 to be castrated on a kitchen table? i know, sex change surgery is not cheap, it's way into the thousands but i would think i would pay a bit more than hundreds and i would expect a surgical clinic not a table people eat on. ewwww!!!:eek:

Oct 3, 8:26 am ET
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - An enraged Ethiopian mother of five will be tried for the murder of her husband who died after she crushed his testicles in a fight, police told the state-run Ethiopian News Agency. Police said on Friday the man was so embarrassed after the incident that he declined to seek treatment for the injury, and died days later. "Following a disagreement over the husband's spending habits, his wife refused to give him his dinner and also decided to sleep alone," police in the western region of Wellega said. "The husband was so angered by this affront by his wife that he tried to beat her. In the melee that followed, the wife grabbed and twisted his testicles causing serious damage." Police said the unnamed woman, a resident of Wayu-Tuka district in Wellega, had had several arguments with her husband about the amount of money he spent on booze. |

Bear Activist Mauled by Grizzly
THE BODIES OF Timothy Treadwell, 46, and Amie Huguenard, 37, both of Malibu, Calif., were found Monday at their campsite when a pilot arrived who was supposed to take them to Kodiak, state troopers said Tuesday.
Treadwell, co-author of “Among Grizzlies: Living With Wild Bears in Alaska,” spent more than a dozen summers living alone with and videotaping Katmai bears. Information on Huguenard was not immediately available. The Andrew Airways pilot contacted troopers in Kodiak and the National Park Service after he saw a brown bear, possibly on top of a body, at the camp near Kaflia Bay. Park rangers encountered a large, aggressive male brown bear within minutes of arriving. Ranger Joel Ellis said two officers stood by with shotguns as he fired 11 times with a semi-automatic handgun before the animal fell, 12 feet away. “That was cutting it thin,” said Ellis, the lead investigator. “I didn’t take the time to count how many times it was hit.” The victims’ remains and camping equipment were flown Monday to Kodiak. Ellis said investigators hope to glean some information from video and still cameras. As the plane was being loaded, another aggressive bear approached and was killed by rangers and troopers. The bear was younger, possibly a 3-year-old, according to Bruce Bartley of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The victims’ bodies were flown to the state medical examiner’s office for autopsy. Dean Andrew, owner of Andrew Airways, said the pilot was too upset to comment. The company had been flying Treadwell to Katmai for 13 years and Huguenard for the last couple of years. Andrew said Treadwell was an experienced outdoorsman. CONFIDENCE AROUND BEARS Treadwell was known for his confidence around bears. He often touched them, and gave them names. Once he was filmed crawling along the ground singing as he approached a sow and two cubs. Over the years, Park Service officials, biologists and others expressed concern about his safety and the message he was sending. “At best he’s misguided,” Deb Liggett, superintendent at Katmai, told the Anchorage Daily News in 2001. “At worst he’s dangerous. If Timothy models unsafe behavior, that ultimately puts bears and other visitors at risk.” That same year Treadwell was a guest on the “Late Show with David Letterman,” describing Alaska brown bears as mostly harmless “party animals.” In his book, Treadwell said he decided to devote himself to saving grizzlies after a drug overdose, followed by several close calls with brown bears in early trips to Alaska. He said those experiences inspired him to give up drugs, study bears and establish a nonprofit bear-appreciation group, called Grizzly People. Grizzly and brown bears are the same species, but “brown” is used to describe bears in coastal areas and “grizzly” for bears in the interior. The deaths were the first known bear killings in the 4.7-million-acre park on the Alaska Peninsula. |

After living in Alaska, and even spending time outdoors other places.... YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO BEARS If you're invading the bear's peace and quiet, expect to have encounters. Smart repsonsible people take precautions and respect wildlife. The only time I have ever carried a loaded weapon was in bear country, and most of the time they avoid people. Domesticating them to humans is part of the problem at Yosemite. This reminds me of the French volcano couple that didn't heed their own advice about volcano safety and were killed. |

Gunman's Mom Wants Worker Compensation
Wed Oct 8, 7:50 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) - The mother of a man who killed three co-workers before shooting himself in a workplace rampage has asked the company to compensate her for her son's death because it occurred at work, the company said on Tuesday. Modine Manufacturing Co. has turned down the request by Nina Tichelkamp-Russell, the mother of the 25-year-old gunman Jonathon Russell, company spokesman Mick Lucareli said. But the claim must still be reviewed by the state, he said. Russell's mother filed a claim seeking death benefits under the workers' compensation system, which provides financial payments to injured workers or the families of workers killed on the job, Lucareli said. Tichelkamp-Russell could not be reached for comment. The company quickly approved the claims filed by the families of Russell's victims, but Modine has no intention of compensating the gunman's family, Lucareli said. "This is probably an odd situation. It certainly caught us by surprise," he said. Police said Russell brought a Glock semiautomatic handgun to work on the night shift at the plant near Jefferson City, Missouri on July 1. Police said Russell appeared to target certain colleagues as he walked from station to station spraying bullets. A 44-year-old man and a 29-year-old man died on the plant floor, while a 42-year-old man died on the way to a hospital. Five others were taken to hospitals with injuries. Russell shot and killed himself after an exchange of gunfire with police. |

Princeton Student Sued Over Paper on CD Copying
Thu Oct 9, 6:07 PM ET Add Technology - Internet Report to My Yahoo! By Ben Berkowitz LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Three days after a Princeton graduate student posted a paper on his Web site detailing how to defeat the copy-protection software on a new music CD by pressing a single computer key, the maker of the software said on Thursday it would sue him. In a statement, SunnComm Technologies Inc. said it would sue Alex Halderman over the paper, which said SunnComm's MediaMax CD-3 software could be blocked by holding down the "Shift" key on a computer keyboard as a CD using the software was inserted into a disc drive. "SunnComm believes that by making erroneous assumptions in putting together his critical review of the MediaMax CD-3 technology, Halderman came to false conclusions concerning the robustness and efficacy of SunnComm's MediaMax technology," it said. SunnComm, which trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, said it has lost more than $10 million of its market value since Halderman published his report. The software was used on a CD, Anthony Hamilton's "Comin' From Where I'm From," released last month. Halderman, who has done research in the past on other CD protection technologies, said the software could also be disabled by stopping a driver the software loads on the computer when the CD is played. SunnComm alleged Halderman violated criminal provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (news - web sites) in disclosing the existence of those driver files. Halderman -- who received an undergraduate degree from Princeton earlier this year and is now pursuing a doctorate in computer science with an emphasis on computer security -- said he had not yet heard directly from SunnComm in regards to litigation but was unconcerned. "I'm still not very worried about litigation under the DMCA, I don't think there's any case," he told Reuters. "I don't think telling people to press the 'Shift' key is a violation of the DMCA." A spokesman for BMG, the unit of Bertelsmann AG (news - web sites) that licensed SunnComm's software and released the Hamilton CD, declined to comment on the planned suit. The music industry, claiming a sharp decline in CD sales is the result of digital piracy through online file-sharing services, has worked to develop methods to secure music on discs and restrict its copying. Halderman's graduate advisor at Princeton is Ed Felten, a computer science professor who once sued the Recording Industry Association of America (news - web sites) in a challenge to the constitutionality of the DMCA. The RIAA had threatened action under the DMCA against Felten and colleagues after they said they would publish a paper disclosing flaws in an industry security initiative. That suit was eventually dismissed. |

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 — Federal officials arrested more than 300 illegal workers at 61 Wal-Mart stores across the country early Thursday morning and searched the Arkansas office of one of the retail chain’s corporate executives, a federal official said.
THE WORKERS ARRESTED were members of cleaning crews which the company hired through a contractor. All were in the country illegally, said a federal official on condition of anonymity. The arrests occurred as the workers were finishing their night shift at stores in 21 states. Wal-Mart spokeswoman Mona Williams confirmed the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement office is investigating and that a number of stores were raided Thursday morning. “They arrested a number of members of the floor cleaning crews. They are (employed by) outside contractors; they’re not Wal-Mart associates,” Williams said. She said the company would give more information later.The arrests stem from a November 1998 investigation done in conjunction with the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office. That investigation also targeted contractors and subcontractors used by Wal-Mart to clean stores. Employers are required to check forms known as I-9’s, filled out by every new employee, and keep the forms for a specified period of time. An employer can face civil and criminal penalties for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants or failing to comply with the I-9 regulations. The workers arrested were detained at local immigration offices, the official said. If they had no previous criminal record, they were released with notices to appear before immigration judges. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., is the world’s largest retailer. The states where arrests were made are Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. |

Missing Inmates Found Hiding in Mo. Prison
Mon Oct 27, 9:52 AM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! By DAVID A. LIEB, Associated Press Writer JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A light tap, a hollow sound and a punch through a fake wall. That's how the search for two escaped inmates came to an end four days after they vanished leaving behind a dead man and a threatening note. Christopher Sims and Shannon Phillips were found Sunday morning still inside the Missouri Penitentiary — hiding behind a false wall in a basement near where the body of a third inmate was found the night the men disappeared. A prison staff member discovered the false wall and punched a hole in it. "Phillips immediately stuck his hand out and said, 'I give up,'" said John Fougere, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections. Inside the hideout, authorities found food and a small mattress. The convicted murderers surrendered without a struggle and were placed in segregation, Fougere said. Hundreds of prison officials had been combing the penitentiary and its grounds since the men disappeared Wednesday, suspecting the two might never have escaped. No evidence of an escape had been found and no sightings of the men had been reported outside the prison. The basement where the men were found had been searched repeatedly and was next to the ice plant where they are believed to have killed convicted murderer Toby Viles on Wednesday evening, corrections officials said. Viles, 28, was serving life without parole for killing three siblings. Cole County Sheriff John Hemeyer has said that a note found near Viles' body bearing the initials of the two inmates claimed responsibility for his death and threatened to kill anyone who got in their way. The three men had been working alone in the ice house with such tools as chisels, hammers and shovels. Preliminary autopsy results show Viles died of blunt trauma to the head. Phillips, 35, has been serving a life prison sentence for a murder in Kansas City. Sims, 27, had been serving a life sentence for a murder in St. Louis. |

Also, in my area, it was reported this year that black males were 3 times more likely to be put into special education programs than any other ethnicity. The racial makeup of my community is probably similiar to that of Olympia. Not every student in special education is only capable of being janitors and sorting trash. :mad: Before automatically putting kids in menial work, they should evaluate each student's ability and put them in an appropriate job. On a personal note, earlier on in my nephews schooling, he was put into a special education program. It it hadn't been for his mom, me, and the rest of our family working with him and challenging the school, they would have written him off as such and left it at that. It wasn't that we were ashamed of him being in special education, it was the fact that we knew he was capable of so much more. After years of working with him (he had a learning disability and required specialized attention), he is now a "mainstreamed" (no linger in special education classes) high school student, making A's and B's in regualr classes, and works as a sign language interpretor for my church's deaf ministry. He functions just as normal as the next 15 year old - with aspirations to go to college. |
Man Drops Mobile in Train Toilet, Jams Arm
NEW YORK (Reuters) --Cell phone users have been known to complain about poor service, but one New York man's mobile literally went down the toilet.
The man was on a suburban train from Grand Central Station on Wednesday night when he went to the bathroom to make a phone call, dropped the phone into the toilet bowl and then his hand and arm became stuck trying to retrieve it, officials said. Metro-North Railroad staff could not help the man, so they stopped the train and called police officers and firefighters to extricate him, a process that took 90 minutes using "jaws of life" rescue equipment. "The toilets are made of aluminum so I imagine he was down on hands and knees with his shirt rolled up and hand and arm down inside, trying to flush out his cell phone," said Jim Cameron of the Connecticut Metro-North commuter council. He said that because of the design of the train toilet, the mobile probably ended up in a chemical holding tank. A spokesman for the railroad that serves the northern suburbs of New York and Connecticut identified the man as Edwin Gallard, 41, of New York, who suffered a minor injury to his arm as firefighters cut the toilet apart. The track was closed and thousands of commuters were delayed during the evening rush hour. The phone has not yet been recovered. ~~~~~~~~ If my cell goes in ANY toilet, it will henceforth and forever be known as The Cell Phone Formerly Known as Carla's Cell. . . I wonder what he does when his toothbrush falls in the toilet. :eek: :eek: :eek: |
The local news had fun with this story. "If you had a crappy commute, here is the reason why." It was funny. :p

"Goretti girls" get their man. Police: Students chase man who exposed himself By Ira Porter Inquirer Staff Writer There is nothing sweeter than revenge. And that is what the "Goretti girls" of St. Maria Goretti High School in South Philadelphia got yesterday when they chased down and beat up a man who allegedly had exposed himself to the students for the last month. Police and neighborhood residents said between 20 and 30 girls, all dressed in their uniforms, dropped their book bags and jumped in after the man allegedly began to expose himself again. Onlookers and neighbors cheered the girls on and shouted "Pervert!" at the man. After police arrived at the scene minutes later - shortly after noon - the man was taken into custody and driven to St. Agnes Medical Center, where he was treated for an injury to his mouth. Police expected to charge the 25-year-old South Philadelphia man with multiple counts of harassment, stalking, indecent exposure, and corrupting the morals of a minor in connection with seven incidents. The first encounter was Sept. 14. Police said 13 students were victimized, some more than once. The latest encounter took place yesterday, when the man exposed himself to two girls walking in the 2000 block of South 10th Street, police said. It happened shortly after the school's 12:15 p.m. early dismissal. Except this time, police said, some of the girls and people from the neighborhood counterattacked. At one point, police said, the man broke free and tried to run. Robert "Bobby" Lemons, who owns Rose's Food Market at 10th and McKean Streets, was one of two men who caught the man. "I was bringing the countertop up from my basement, and I saw him in the street acting really funny," Lemons said. "He was rubbing himself, but he wasn't exposed yet." Lemons said the man was up the street by a parked van, gesturing as if he were urinating, but then exposed himself to two girls after they passed by. Lemons walked across the street to tell a friend. They split up on both sides of the street and chased the man, tackling him in the middle of the block. "Everybody was saying, 'Don't hit him, Bobby, don't hit him,' so I didn't," Lemons said. But while he was holding the man down, "the girls came and started kicking him and punching him, so I wasn't going to stop them," he said. Lemons said the man tried to pull a knife from his pocket. Kelly Simone, 15, was the first girl to get in a lick on the man. Simone, a sophomore at Goretti, recognized the man from sketches posted around school. Her friend was one of the girls to whom the man allegedly exposed himself yesterday. "I looked down the street, and Bobby had the... man on the ground," Kelly said. "I went up to him, and he started grabbing at my feet, so I kicked him. All the girls were scared to touch him, but I said: 'Let's show him what we can do.' " Thomas Simone, Kelly's father, said he was proud of his daughter and her classmates. "They beat the crap out of him," he said, laughing. "I'm glad they did it for themselves and that they didn't let this guy go," Thomas Simone said. "You know what's funny? They got their own revenge. The girls got him without the police." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

PARIS (Reuters) - A French hunter was shot by his dog after he left a loaded shotgun in the trunk of his car with two dogs and one of the animals accidentally stepped on the trigger, police said Wednesday. The man, from the village of Espelette in the Basque region, was admitted to a hospital in the nearby town of Bayonne Monday with leadshot injuries to the hip. "As he was driving along, one of his dogs accidentally set off the gun," said a police official. |

Man Pleads Guilty to Shipping Self in Box Thu Nov 6,11:19 AM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo! By ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press Writer FORT WORTH, Texas - A former shipping clerk pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to shipping himself from New York to Dallas in a wooden cargo crate. Charles D. McKinley, 25, pleaded guilty to stowing away on a cargo jet, a misdemeanor. Possible punishment ranges from probation to a year in prison and up to a $100,000 fine when he is sentenced Feb. 4. McKinley declined to comment after the 20-minute hearing. His attorney Bill Glaspy said he advised McKinley to plead guilty because "he told what he did to every newspaper and television station in the country, I think." The plea was not part of a plea bargain, said U.S. Attorney Fred Schattman. McKinley's trial had been set for Monday. He had previously agreed to have U.S. Magistrate Charles Bleil hear the case rather than a jury or a federal district judge. McKinley, who worked at a New York warehouse, journeyed overnight about 1,500 miles by truck, plane and delivery van before popping out of the box Sept. 6 at his startled parents' home in DeSoto, a Dallas suburb. The shaken delivery company employee left the house and called police. McKinley has said he made the 15-hour trip — eluding security at five airports — because he was homesick and thought he could save money by flying cargo. McKinley said he took a cell phone, which didn't work, but no food or water. He told some reporters he occasionally got out of the 42-by-36-by-15-inch crate. He also said an accomplice closed the box and shipped him. But in his signed statement to the FBI (news - web sites), McKinley claimed no one else was involved. The incident renewed debate over the air cargo system's vulnerability to terrorists. Unlike the tight federal security for airline passengers, air cargo receives little federal scrutiny and is the responsibility of the shipper. |
Woman Sues Over Condom in Her Clam Chowder
Tue Nov 11, 8:16 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Waiter, there is something worse than a fly in my soup. A California woman who found a condom in her bowl of clam chowder has sued the upscale restaurant that served it to her -- saying she has suffered depression and anxiety from the shocking discovery. But an attorney for McCormick & Schmicks Seafood Restaurant in Irvine, California, says the eatery has no idea how the condom got into Laila Sultan's food. Sultan, 48, and her three companions are suing the restaurant for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress in a case that is expected to go to trial early next year. "I thought it was calamari or shrimp or something so I chewed one more," Sultan told local KCAL-TV on Monday. "It felt rubbery. I told my friends, 'My God, there's something in my mouth.'" Sultan said she spit the offending object into a napkin and at first thought it was a latex glove. Then her friend realized what it was. "I said, 'Oh, my God' and ran into the bathroom with another friend of mine and I started throwing up," she said. "I threw up everything I ate there, every single thing, I threw up in the bathroom." **LMAOLMAOLMAO** But Patrick Stark, an attorney for McCormick & Schmicks, told the Los Angeles Times that its staff had no idea how the condom got into the chowder, adding: "It's as big a mystery to us as it is to anybody else." "We are going to argue at trial there is absolutely no evidence to suggest the restaurant was the source of the condom," he told the paper. "Either it came from (the four women) or it was thrown in as a practical joke by another patron at the restaurant." |
