CLEVELAND ( Woman ordered to wear ' IDIOT SIGN ' by Judge ) Shena Hardin

A woman who was caught on video driving along a sidewalk to avoid a stopped school bus has been ordered to wear an "idiot" sign at the intersection where it happened.

Shena Hardin, 32, of Cleveland pleaded guilty to not stopping for a school bus and reckless operation. A Cleveland Municipal Court judge ordered her driver's license suspended for 30 days and ordered her to pay $250 in court costs, according to WJW Fox 8.

As part of the sentence, Hardin must also must wear a sign that reads, "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid the school bus" for an hour a day for two days next week at the intersection where the incident occurred, according to Fox 8.

Hardin was arrested on Sept. 11 after a veteran school bus driver, Uriah Herron, noticed Hardin pull her driving stunt several times and recorded one incident with his cellphone camera.

"We had a very conscientious driver for 30 years. He really cares about his children and he took the extra step that this doesn't happen again," Cleveland Metropolitan School District bus manager Eric Taylor told newsnet5.com.

The judge's unique sentence predictably has drawn hundreds of comments on social media. Many agree with the sentence, saying more judges should strive for nontraditional penalties. Others, however, argue that the punishment is too degrading and humiliating for a motor vehicle violation.

SALT Lake City ( 9 yr old Girl rushes for 8.2 yards per carry ) Football superstar Sam Gordon

It started as a way for an 8-year-old girl to keep up with her big brother.
Sam Gordon just wanted to run with the older kids. The coaches in the local tackle football league figured, hey, why not? Maybe they could turn it into a drill: Who can outrun Max's little sister?
They were shocked to find the answer: no one.

Sam Gordon, now 9, became one of the fastest kids this Salt Lake City area "Gremlins" league had ever seen. They put her in drills and she outran boys two years older. They allowed her into the "Sharks and Minnows" game and stared in awe at not only at her speed, but her ability to move like a tailback.

"She could cut and follow blocks like a college football player," says her coach, Chris Staib

BOXING Champion (Carmen Basilio dies at 85) Carmen beat Sugar ray Robinson in 1957

Associated Press

Carmen Basilio in the arms of his trainer Angelo Dundee, left, and co-manager John DeJohn after winning the middleweight title from Sugar Ray Robinson in 1957.

 

Carmen Basilio, the welterweight and middleweight boxing champion of the 1950s who fought two brutal bouts with Sugar Ray Robinson, winning his middleweight title and then losing it to him, died Wednesday in Rochester. Basilio, who lived in Irondequoit, a suburb of Rochester, was 85.

His death was announced by the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y., where Basilio was born. He was among its first class of inductees in 1990.

They called him the Upstate Onion Farmer — his Italian immigrant father worked the onion fields near Syracuse — but from the time he was a youngster, Basilio wanted nothing more than to be a pro boxer. He became a champion with an unrelenting style of attack, willing to take punishment as well as dish it out.

Los Angeles (17 yr old boys arrested for the rape of boys on soccer team ) Hazing

Three teenagers arrested in connection with alleged sexual hazing of younger members of the La Puente High School soccer team have been charged with various sexual assault and battery charges, prosecutors said Tuesday.

The names of the three boys were not released because they are minors. They were arrested last month after an investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Unit.

The boys were charged in Juvenile Court. Their next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 19.
Two of the boys, both 17, were charged with 10 counts each: one felony count of sexual penetration with a foreign object, one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon, four misdemeanor counts of sexual battery and four misdemeanor counts of hazing. A 16-year-old boy was charged with six counts: felony sexual penetration with a foreign object, felony assault with a deadly weapon, and two misdemeanor counts each of hazing and sexual battery.
Prosecutors allege that the boys sodomized one victim with a pole-like object; three other victims were sexually battered.

Four victims who reported the assault told authorities that the ritual was known as the "pole tradition" and that they were terrified to walk into the school equipment room.
Authorities said they were looking into the coach's involvement but have found no evidence that he participated in the alleged assaults.
Brian Claypool, an attorney for the four victims, said the boys were initially reluctant to come forward.

"These boys were ashamed and embarrassed," he said.
According to parents' legal claims against the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District, the hazing has gone on for years.
One 17-year-old boy was "brutally assaulted" in May after he entered the storage room to return some equipment, the claim alleges. He was attacked by varsity team members who carried a long pole with a sharp end while other players recorded the attack with their cellphones.
A 14-year-old boy described a similar account of the "pole tradition" and told authorities he was jumped by teammates when he entered the equipment room.
A second 14-year-old said he was assaulted through his clothing in an attack that left his underwear and jeans bloody, the claim alleges.
One 15-year-old was also attacked, but the claim said he fought back so hard during the six-minute assault that the assailants finally gave up.
Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Supt. Barbara Nakaoka said she could not comment on the investigation.

Lindsay Lohan's Porsche crash story doesn't add up, police say

Santa Monica prosecutors are considering charges against Lindsay Lohan after police said they have found evidence that she lied when she claimed she was not behind the wheel of a Porsche that collided with a dump truck earlier this year.If the Santa Monica city prosecutor filed charges it could be deemed a violation of her 2011 parole for shoplifting and lead to her returning to jail.Santa Monica Sgt. Richard Lewis said an investigation had determined that Lohan was driving the Porsche during the June collision. The finding contradicts statements the actress made after the crash to law enforcement officers. The Los Angeles County district attorney has already determined the matter is not worthy of a felony filing and referred the matter to the Santa Monica prosecutor's office to determine if the false statement amounts to a violation of the law, according to prosecutors.

In a military operation in Huixquilucan, State of Mexico, JESÚS ALFREDO SALAZAR RAMÍREZ, “El Muñeco” y/o “El Pelos,” presumed killer of activist Nepomuceno Moreno Nunez was arrested November, 1.

JESUS RAMIREZ ALFREDO SALAZAR,
“El Muñeco” y/o “El Pelos

JESUS RAMIREZ ALFREDO SALAZAR, is considered one of the most important lieutenants of Joaquin Guzman Loera (a) "El Chapo Guzman", and allegedly was responsible for the control of planting, production and trafficking of drugs in the state of Sonora and mountainous part of the state of Chihuahua, which mainly sent to the United States of America.

Salazar Ramirez is wanted by the Government of the United States of America and has an arrest warrant issued against him from August 24, 2006, by the Federal Court of Western District of Texas, on charges of conspiracy of possession with intent to distribute five or more kilograms of cocaine, in violation of the narcotic code of the United States of America.

In addition, there is a provisional warrant for extradition international drug crimes and conspiracy, issued by the Ninth District Court of Federal Criminal Proceedings in the Federal District, the January 13, 2009.

Montana ( 24 yr old Trainer killed by grizzly Bears) Bozeman

A 24-year-old trainer was mauled to death Sunday while cleaning the Animals of Montana grizzly bear enclosure in Bozeman, Mont., officials say.

Animals of Montana, a wildlife casting agency, said it regards the death of Benjamin Cloutier, a former Pennsylvania resident, as a possible accident rather than an attack.

"We do not believe it was an attack. The victim has been with us since 2008. He was a highly experienced trainer, and it is unlikely that the bears caused his death," Animals of Montana's lead head trainer, Demetri Price, told ABC News. "He had the right safety equipment and the right training to avoid that kind of attack. The investigators are looking into other causes of death. He might have accidentally slipped in the cage or hit his head prior to the mauling."

Animals of Montana provides captive-bred wild animals for photography shoots and motion pictures. Adam, Griz, and Yosemite were the "Trio of Grizzly Bears" that the organization said it proudly offered to clients. Griz was put down so that Cloutier's body could be retrieved.

"Griz and Yosemite look like they have been involved in the mauling. At the time we found our trainer, Griz had a grip on him. This was a life and death situation where I was putting my safety at risk while trying to save our trainer, whom we suspected might still be alive. Our initial abating techniques failed and destroying Griz was our last resort to retrieve our trainer in the safest way possible," said Price. who told ABC News that the Animals of Montana owner Troy Hyde was on a trip to Los Angeles when the incident happened.

Hyde's attorney, Chuck Watson, said that the cause of the Cloutier's death is yet to be determined pending an autopsy. "The circumstantial evidence we have so far does not suggest a bear attack since there weren't any defense wounds. Of course, we'll have to wait for the autopsy results to find out what really happened," said Watson.

The death is being investigated by the Gallatin County Coroner and Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks wardens.

"We are the ones who issue licenses for facilities like Animals of Montana to keep a wild animal like a grizzly bear captive," Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks warden's Public Information Officer Andrea Jones told ABC News. "From the way it looks, the trainer and the facility did not violate any of our licensing rules and regulations at the time of the incident. The man was operating within the normal business hours and met all the regulations involved in his activity. It is up to the coroner and the Sheriff's office to rule the cause of death."

"We suffered a double loss," said Price. "We lost a very valuable trainer, tragically, and we lost one of our most precious bears. We invested in Griz hours and hours of training and love and care."

"It's very tragic that they suffered these losses," said attorney Watson. "Destroying the bear must have been a difficult decision since, believe me, the last thing these people want to do is kill an animal. But it was a life and death situation and it must have been devastating."
