  3. Teen Accused of Making 1,000 911 Calls By Associated Press Tue Apr 11, 8:09 PM BUFFALO, N.Y. - A teenage girl acknowledged making about 1,000 fake 911 calls from her cell phone, laughing, taunting and saying, "You can't catch me," police said Monday. Police said some of the calls made this month lasted several minutes, and one lasted an hour. The girl was charged over the weekend with two counts of misdemeanor falsely reporting an incident for allegedly making six fake 911 calls from a local church phone Saturday. "She didn't give us a reason for doing this," Chief of Detectives Dennis Richards said. "She was very disrespectful, and she said that she was going to keep calling 911." The girl's name was not released because she is a minor. The case follows the arrest earlier this year of Juan Merced, who along with his wife and oldest son was accused of making nearly 1,000 fake 911 calls from his Buffalo home. Police said this new case may be a copycat one. Quote Holy shit what the fuck is wrong with these people? maybe corporal punishment needs a comeback

  5. Italian Mafia Boss Caught After 40 Years By LUCA BRUNO and FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press Writers 3 hours ago PALERMO, Sicily - Italy's reputed No. 1 Mafia boss was arrested Tuesday at a farmhouse in the Sicilian countryside after frustrating investigators' efforts to catch him during more than 40 years on the run, the Interior Ministry said. Bernardo Provenzano, Italy's most wanted man, is believed to have taken over the Sicilian Mafia after the 1993 arrest of former boss Salvatore "Toto" Riina in Palermo. "Bastard! Murderer!" a crowd shouted as black-hooded policemen took the elderly man out of a sedan and rushed him into the courtyard of a police building in Palermo. The gray-haired Provenzano, wearing a windbreaker and tinted glasses, glanced aside at one point but made no audible comment. A Palermo police spokesman, Agent Daniele Macaluso, said Provenzano had been arrested in the morning near Corleone, the Sicilian town made famous in the "Godfather" movies. He was then driven to Palermo, 37 miles north of Corleone. He was being questioned by anti-Mafia prosecutors in police offices, but was saying little, answering only questions about his identity, the Italian news agency ANSA reported from Palermo. Interior Ministry Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano described Provenzano as "the most important person from Cosa Nostra" after Riina, the so-called "boss of bosses" who was also arrested after years as a fugitive. He called the arrest "an important step forward ... for the entire nation." Prosecutors describe Provenzano as a man who helped Cosa Nostra increasingly spread its tentacles into the lucrative world of public works contracts in Sicily, turning the Mafia into more of a white-collar industry of illegal activity less dependent on traditional revenue-making operations like drug trafficking and extortion rackets. Provenzano, on the run since 1963, has proven an elusive target. Turncoats have told investigators in recent years that he avoided capture for so long by sleeping in different farmhouses across the island every few nights and by giving orders with handwritten notes, not trusting cell phone conversations for fear they are monitored by police. Authorities were also hampered in their hunt for him because their last photo of Provenzano dated back nearly 50 years. However, personnel at a clinic in southern France where Provenzano is believed to have been treated for prostate problems under a false name a few years ago helped police to create a new composite sketch. Italy's top anti-Mafia prosecutor, Piero Grasso, who for years as Palermo's chief prosecutor had personally led the hunt for Provenzano, said on RAI radio that he felt "great satisfaction, great emotion" at the arrest. As recently as last month, Provenzano's former lawyer was quoted as telling an Italian newspaper that he was dead. "I think he's dead, and has been dead for several years," Salvatore Traina was quoted as telling the Rome-based daily La Repubblica. "They have looked for him everywhere, they have looked intensely for years but they can't find him. This must mean something." Former Palermo Mayor Leoluca Orlando praised police and prosecutors. News of the arrest prompted similar praise from many politicians, including President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi.

  8. I went to a Jiffy lube back in 1986 with my newly rebuilt Camaro, with a brand spanking new motor I built Myself...needed the oilchanged because I had to go somewhere and was in a suit and tie. I heard screaming from the Garage as the fools bent over to check everything the guy thought wow this is weird his fan isn't turning...(Electric Fans were uncommon back then) and he stuck his hand in there as it started....I think he lost a few fingers. I was washing my car the next weekend and found some of his flesh in my radiator!! grrrrrrrr

  14. Try growing up man...maybe it's not your kid by why hold it against her?
  15. You seem to miss the entire point of basic training. No matter what your job is you had better learn to fight just like everyone else does, just in case the shit hits the fan. There are many examples in the past of men who distinguished themselves in battle even though their MOS may have been that of a cook, chaplain, or truck driver, etc.
