'Robin Hood' Banker Jailed for Fraud

A former bank executive who was said to have "Robin Hood" mentality has been sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for taking money from some accounts and repaying others, as well as pocketing some of the money for himself.
The judge at Friday's sentencing hearing also ordered Thomas J. Mariotti, 37, to repay more than $691,000 to his former employer and to Tall Oaks Country Club, one of the affected accounts. Mariotti will remain free on bond until he surrenders himself to prison officials next month.
A psychologist who testified at the sentencing hearing said Mariotti had a "Robin Hood" mentality because he took money from the bank to help support bad loans he had made. In one case, he paid off a $45,000 loan, said his attorney, Ron Hamm.
In June, Mariotti waived indictment and pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud.

Woman accused of frying pan assault

Police have charged a woman with aggravated domestic assault. The aggravating factor? A frying pan. Neighbors called police after hearing a woman screaming as she ran down a street early Sunday.
Police said Jennifer LeeAnn Simoneau, 24, told them her boyfriend had shoved her into a glass table, but she had no visible injuries.
Investigators said her boyfriend Robert Eugene Davis was found bleeding from several cuts on his face and arms and he told police Simonseau had attacked him with a frying pan.
Davis' 11-year-old daughter told police that after the attack on her dad ended, he ran from the house. She said her mother dragged her by the hair to a bedroom.
That got Simoneau a citation for domestic assault on a minor. The arresting officer reported Simoneau appeared to be drunk.

Doctors Find Grass Growing in Babies Lung


Mr. Han, from Zhoukou city in China, was worried about his 10-month-old daughters health. She was diagnosed with Pneumonia but was not recovering.

The Hostpital at Zhengzhou University checked out the girl and diagnosed her with a rare complication of pneumonia called Pyopneumothorax.

After numerous treatments the little girl was still not improving so the doctors decided surgery was the only option. However surgery revealed something even the doctors had never seen before.
Mr. and Mrs. Han claim that the grass is the same kind growing outside of their home and the doctors determined that the baby must have inhaled some grass seed into her lungs. The seed, finding the environment suitable, started to grow.

They removed the grass and the little girl’s health improved and she recovered from her illness.

Vietnamese Government loses $8,000,000 to Football Bets

Sports gambling has become a huge problem in Vietnam, but this might be the worst case yet. Various Government officials and civil servants had gambled aid funding on bets of mainly European Football matches.

The end losses? An estimated $8,197,485 in government funds.

Both President Tran Duc Luong and Prime Minister Phan Van Khai are expected to retire after Vietnam’s 10 National Congress ends on Tuesday, October 30th.

The whole scandal was revealed when a gambler named Bui Tien Dung, who was also a former part of the Ministry of Transport, confessed. Another Transport Minister Dao Dinh Binh resigned two weeks ago due to gambling problems as well.

Since then, a computer office log was found to have 200 Ministry of Transport employees waging government funds. Mr. Dung even had $11,477,838 in savings from all of this before he was jailed.

Turkeys and the terrorism

A wild turkey in Millstone Township, New Jersey dive-bombed a house and then destroyed part of the interior. This past Monday at 3:00 a flock of turkeys was observed casing a residence. At some point, one of the turkeys crashed into a window and broke into the home. New Jersey State police were immediately called. Trooper Richard Pogorzelski entered the home to see if the perpetrator was still lurking about but upon inspection realized the wayward bird had made a getaway - though not a clean one.
According to the home owner, "The bird had relieved himself all over. The room was a disaster." The bird did about $500 in damage to the bedroom of the homeowners' son, 8 year-old Jake. Perhaps not coincidentally, "jake" is what young male turkeys are called by human beings. The infiltrating jake found resident Jake's new $60 Abercrombie & Fitch shirt which he planned wearing to the family's Thanksgiving dinner and pooped all over it. The boy's mother said, "I don't know if it's salvageable."
