Ah, ah, ahhhh not so fast… A Florida judge on Monday signed amended court documents mandating that Casey Anthony return to Orlando to serve a year of probation stemming from her check fraud conviction. “From my reading of this, she should be reporting to probation in Orlando probably within 72 hours,” Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland said in signing the documents, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The action came after an apparent misunderstanding in the case. Anthony pleaded guilty in January 2010 to felony check fraud charges, admitting she stole a checkbook from her friend Amy Huizenga and wrote five checks totaling $644.25. At the time, defense attorney Jose Baez asked that Anthony be given credit for time served and be placed on probation. Strickland apparently intended for the supervised probation to begin after Anthony’s release from custody, said Randy Means, spokesman for the Orange County State Attorney’s Office. But the order signed by Strickland at the time seemed to indicate it was to run while she was in custody awaiting trial on murder charges in the 2008 death of her daughter Caylee. We bet you thought you were Scott-free huh heffa? Source
Ever seen a racist, homophobic, Mets fan, Pastor, school teacher? Here he goes… Cops were called to Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Fordham after a church-goer interrupted the service to call for the removal of Frank Borzellieri as principal of the parish school. “I wanted them to feel my sense of outrage that he was brought into the community to teach,” said Juan Varela, 54, who was arrested yesterday on disorderly conduct and weapons possession charges and spent seven hours in police custody. Varela, who is Catholic but lives in Queens, said he sat in a pew during the 10 a.m. Mass. At one point he stood up, walked to the altar, faced parishioners and began railing against Borzellieri. “This church hired a racist. This church does not like Hispanics and blacks,” one police source quoted Varela as saying. Cops said he initially refused to leave, but finally complied. He said he was kicked from behind by ushers at the back of the church as he tried to exit. He was picked up by police about two blocks away. Varela was charged with criminal possession of a weapon – a knife – and disorderly conduct, cops said. Damn a knife in church, sounds like Varela planned to “lay hands” on this pastor if he got close enough. Peep what the good ol’ pastor was kickin’ The News revealed Sunday that Borzellieri, 48, was quietly hired two years ago as principal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School despite his controversial writings. In his 2004 book – “Don’t Take it Personally: Race, Immigration, Crime and Other Heresies” – Borzellieri declared “diversity is a weakness” and that America’s rising black and Hispanic populations will lead to a “New Dark Age.” He has also written for the white supremacist publication American Renaissance. As a city school board member representing District 24 in Queens from 1993 to 2002, Borzellieri tried to ban literature he labeled “anti-American” from school libraries. One of the books he targeted was an biography on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. He also introduced a resolution calling for students to be taught that U.S. culture is superior, and he advocated the removal of an openly gay teacher from the classroom at Public School 199 in Sunnyside. So the Catholic church is just going to act like their new pastor isn’t a hate-monger, bigot, racist piece-of-s#!t? Damn, they’re a tough crowd. Racist AND child molesting, Jesus wouldn’t do that… Source

What can a lil flirt hurt right?? If you think flirting will help you get ahead, think again. We’ve all done it. A seductive smile while negotiating a big purchase. Flirtatious banter with your cubicle neighbor or morning barista. That certain suggestive lilt that enters your voice when asking for help with a project. Those adept at the subtle art of flirting know that batting their lashes or casting a longing look can be a form of social power, sometimes useful in securing an advantage or ally. Career experts like Nicole Williams, author of “Girl on Top,” advocate using every tool available to you to gain an edge in the workplace. Although it often goes unspoken, many executives agree. “Flirting?” asked one woman. “I call it efficiency.” How can one tell the difference between two people who relate to one another having a pleasant conversation and two people intimating that they want to bump uglies? Well psychologist Simon Rego, director of the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Program at Montefiore Medical Center in New York defines it for us: “Flirting is the suggestion of the possibility, but not the probability, of something sexual occurring between two individuals,” says But sometimes flirting may have reverse effects that one may not have forseen. According to Rego, the danger arises from misreading the context and the other person’s perspective. “In a bar, it will be perceived differently than being pulled over for speeding,” he notes. But flirting with a police officer to get out of a ticket is at least worth a try, right? Not necessarily, says Rego. An officer who might have been willing to give you a break before, may be insulted by the obvious manipulation, thinking: You think I’ll bend the rules for a little bit of flirting? Suddenly, they’re more apt to put you in your place. The workplace is especially ripe for misunderstandings or harsh judgments. David Nour, author of Relationship Economics, says he frequently observes employees flirting to improve their position, be it a salesperson trying to build preference with a buyer or a professional hoping to gain priority on a project or land a promotion. Yet misreading the flirtee can result in questions about your intentions, credibility and character. At the very least, it could undermine the foundation of trust between you and your supervisor. Even worse, you may end up on the receiving end of unwanted advances, warns Nour. “Flirting at work is simply dangerous and very career limiting.” What do you think? Have you ever flirted with your boss or supervisor to get special treatment?? Did you ever receive any “hate” from fellow employees?? Source
Bout damn time!! Now it can be said with certainty: Get ready for some football! NFL players voted to OK a final deal Monday, days after the owners approved a tentative agreement, and the sides finally managed to put an end to the 4 1/2-month lockout, the longest work stoppage in league history. “This is a long time coming, and football’s back,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “and that’s the great news for everybody.” At a joint appearance outside the NFL Players Association headquarters, Goodell and NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith were flanked by some of the owners and players who were involved in the talks. They spoke shortly after the NFLPA executive board and 32 team reps voted unanimously to approve the terms of a deal. “We didn’t get everything that either side wanted … but we did arrive at a deal that we think is fair and balanced,” Smith said. Owners overwhelmingly approved a proposal Thursday, but some unresolved issues still needed to be reviewed to satisfy players; the owners do not need to vote again. The sides worked through the weekend and wrapped up the details Monday morning on a final pact that runs for 10 years, without an opt-out clause, a person familiar with the deal told the AP on condition of anonymity. DeMaurice Smith, NFL Players Association President said this about the deal: “I know it has been a very long process since the day we stood here that night in March,” Smith said. “But our guys stood together when nobody thought we would. And football is back because of it.” Well ladies and gentlemen, after sitting on pins and needles for month we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief because our Sunday’s have been saved (no offense sweet baby Jesus).

Now can we start testing people or something before we let them take their babies home from the hospital? A Connecticut mother was arrested after she forced her 4-year-old son to chug a bottle of beer – and gave her 10-month-old daughter booze and cocaine, police said. Juliette Dunn, 29, who lives in Success Village, Conn., was sitting with a friend Lisa Jefferson on a playground when another mom flagged down officers and complained that she was feeding her child beer, the Connecticut Post reported. When cops approached, they spotted an empty 40-ounce Steele Reserve beer on the ground next to the 4-year-old boy and a baby bottle that smelled like alcohol. Witnesses told officers that earlier that day Jefferson had told her son to chug the beer – and then called him an alcoholic when he finished, according to the report. The children were taken to a local hospital where they tested positive for alcohol and the 10-month-old tested positive for cocaine. When being interviewed by a social worker, the 4-year-old mentioned that he liked “Natural Ice beer, Budweiser beer, but didn’t like the taste of Dog-Bite beer,” police told the newspaper. Wow… just… wow. Source

Another great example of how the justice system in Amerikka works wonders when you come from a privileged background. Suspended Columbia University student Harrison David , 20, plead guilty to selling cocaine to an undercover officer as part of a plea deal struck Tuesday. As part of the deal, David will be sentenced to six months in jail, however he will likely only spend 3 1/2 months behind bars at Rikers due to time served and good behavior, according to his attorney, Matthew Myers. The felony charge of criminal sale of a controlled substance will be part of his permanent record and he’s likely to be officially booted from Columbia. “He has huge regrets about it because now he’s blown an Ivy League education,” Myers said, adding, “His family is extremely upset.” David said he sold powdered cocaine to an undercover police officer on Aug. 21, 2010 at the West 113th Street apartment where he lived prior to entering his sophomore year last fall. He pleaded guilty Tuesday to criminal sale of a controlled substance, a felony. The admitted drug dealer had previously turned down an offer to 1 year in prison and 2 years of probation. Instead, David ended up with up to six months in jail and five years probation, prosecutors said. “We believe that less incarceration time and the additional three years of monitoring will serve in the interest of justice,” said Assistant District Attorney William Novak, of the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor. David was one of five students, many of whom belonged to fraternities at the school, who were arrested in Morningside Heights on Dec. 7 and charged with selling $11,000 worth of cocaine, MDMA, LSD, marijuana and other drugs to undercover police officers. As the only one charged with dealing cocaine, David faced mandatory prison time if convicted of the top indictment charge. He pleaded guilty to a lower level drug sale offense. The arrests followed a five-month investigation coined “Operation Ivy League” in which the students were found to be dealing drugs out of fraternity houses and apartments at Columbia. The case was marred by the arrest of one of the main undercover detectives who set up the sting. Richard Palase was arrested as part of a Staten Island illegal gambling operation in June. Myers said the the detective was involved in two of the undercover sales by David and that the detective’s legal troubles may have given his client a small amount of leverage in his plea negotiation. David did not comment to reporters when leaving the courthouse on Tuesday. He is set to turn himself in at his sentencing on Aug. 30. No deals have been reached in the cases of Christopher Coles, Adam Klein, Jose Stephan Perez and Michael Wymbs, the other students charged. They are all suspended from Columbia. On Tuesday, the other defendants’ lawyers filed briefs in support of getting them drug treatment instead of jail as a punishment. They are due back in court on Sept. 23. Ain’t that a b*tch… Harrison David’s parents are crying about him getting kicked out of Columbia, meanwhile if it had been Tyrone slangin’ rocks right outside the gates, his folks would not have seen his a*s for YEARS!!! Sorry but this lil b*tch a*s got off easy… Mommy and Daddy got them good lawyers on the case and he’ll be back in front of the XBox in three months. SMH. Source

Holy paranormal orgasms Batman! During an interview with the New York Times Boardwalk Empire actress Paz De La Huerta shared an eye-brow raising story about her visit to Graceland… You said once that Elvis’s ghost gave you an orgasm in his recording studio at Graceland. That’s unbelievable. I was with my ex-boyfriend and had to beg him to go to Graceland. I felt like he was jealous of Elvis because I’ve always been infatuated by him, which is hysterical because he’s passed away. Your ex-boyfriend, the singer Scott Weiland? Yeah. So I went to his recording studio because sometimes the sensitive people feel him in this room, and I stood in this corner and I felt him. What can I say? I felt him touch me. When you say he touched you, you mean in a Hitachi Magic Wand kind of way? I mean, come on, he’s a ghost. I felt his spirit go through me and give me pleasure. I experienced that when my cat died. She waited until I got home from Sundance, and she passed away the second she was in my arms, and I felt her spirit go through my body. But this was different. It was like Elvis was tickling me with a feather. This broad is so dizzy. Wonder how many she had before she did this interview? SMH Source
