Mayor Says Christie Refused Sandy Aid Unless She Approved Development

By: Hazel Cills

New Jersey mayor Dawn Zimmer revealed that the administration of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie withheld Sandy relief money for Hoboken on MSNBC's Up with Steve Kornacki this Saturday.

Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and Christie's community affairs commissioner Richard Constable apparently told Zimmer she would not receive the money unless she signed off on a redevelopment plan. The plan, which was to award the Rockefeller Group the right to redevelop several blocks of Hoboken, would have been a very lucrative deal for Christie.

But after Zimmer requested $127 million in Sandy aid, all she got was enough money to cover a single back-up generator and $200,000 in grants. Even though Christie came to Hoboken and assured residents they could count on him, his administration came back with less than 1% of what Hoboken asked for in relief.

Christie's administration, unsurprisingly, vehemently denies Zimmer's claims, deeming them "outlandishly false." But Zimmer has emails, public records and even her own personal diary entries as evidence. In one entry, she writes:

"I thought he was honest. I thought he was moral. I thought he was something very different. This week I found out he's cut from the same corrupt cloth that I have been fighting for the last four years."

Withholding Sandy relief money and then technically black-mailing the Hoboken mayor because she didn't approve a Rockefeller development deal can't be that bad for Christie, right? It's not like he's done anything bad for the New Jersey people recently because a public official wouldn't do what he said.
 
UPenn in shock as freshman track star, 19, jumps to her death

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A popular track star at the University of Pennsylvania has committed suicide by jumping from a city center building, police have said. The death of 19-year-old freshman Madison Holleran has rocked the UPenn community and sent shockwaves through her hometown of Allendale, New Jersey. Holleran posted an image of a sunset over Rittenhouse Square to her Instagram account around 6pm on Friday night - just an hour before police say she jumped to her death. She was pronounced dead at the scene around 7pm, the New Jersey Record reported. No one else was injured.

Police have given no indication as to why the track star wanted to take her life. Her social networking accounts show her grinning with friends and teammates on vacations and at school. Holleran was a member of the university's varsity track and field team at UPenn. Her teammates were given the option of whether or not they wished to compete in Saturday's meet. The school also canceled formal recruitment for sororities, in which Holleran was set to take part. 'The entire Penn community is deeply saddened by the death of Madison Holleran,' Penn president Amy Gutmann said in the statement. 'She was bright and well-liked with an incredible future ahead of her. There are simply no words that can properly convey the sense of heartache that we all feel at such a tragic loss.'

'Our thoughts and prayers are with [Holleran's] family and friends,' said Steve Dolan, Penn's director of track and field, in a statement to the Daily Pennsylvanian. 'This is a challenging time for everyone involved with the program, but we will support each other in the weeks to come and help her teammates and friends find their own ways to honor her memory.' Holleran, who was majoring in philosophy, politics and economics, had been a standout track and soccer athlete in her high school. She originally planned to play soccer at Lehigh University before switching her mind, and choosing to run at Penn.

She had been named to the New Jersey Star-Ledger's all-state girls track team last year, while the Record named her its Spring Athlete of the Season and Girls Indoor Track Athlete of the Year in 2013, the Star Ledger reported.

Urgent Search for 'Black Widow' Suicide Bomber, May Be Already in Sochi

By RHONDA SCHWARTZ, JAMES GORDON MEEK and BRIAN ROSS

Police in Sochi have launched an urgent search for a possible female suicide bomber who may have already made it past the ring of security set up for the Olympic Games. Hotel employees in Sochi told ABC News that posters with pictures and descriptions of a 22-year-old woman from nearby Dagestan were distributed over the weekend by authorities and a similar flyer was also seen posted at Sochi's airport. A spokesperson for the U.S. Olympic Committee reacted to the revelation by saying that the safety of Team USA is their "top priority."

"As is always the case, we are working with the U.S. Department of State, the local organizers and the relevant law enforcement agencies in an effort to ensure that our delegation and other Americans traveling to Sochi are safe," spokesperson Patrick Sandusky said. The woman featured on the wanted posters is identified as Ruzanna Ibragimova, using the nickname Salima, the widow of a militant reportedly killed in a shoot-out with police last year in Dagestan. She is described as being affiliated with the Caucasus Emirate, the terror group led by Doku Umarov that has threatened attacks against the Winter Games in Sochi. Ibragimova is described as having a 10 centimeter scar across the left cheek, a pronounced limp, and a stiff left arm that doesn't bend at the elbow.

A police wanted poster published by an online Sochi news website said she had left Dagestan earlier this month and arrived in Sochi about ten days ago. Security experts said it was troubling that she may have been able to get to Sochi despite the so-called "ring of steel" of security forces that President Vladimir Putin has said will make the Olympics safe from terrorists. "The fact that one individual either was able to stay in the area before the ring of steel went up or get through it really raises questions about the strength of the Russia security apparatus," said Christopher Swift, a Georgetown University professor who has studied militant groups in the North Caucasus.

"The specific worry is that she's a woman and because of that it's easier for women to infiltrate indoor or outdoor venues, that she could be a bomb carrier."

Swift said it is rare for the group's suicide bombers to operate alone.

"Usually, in the past, when we've seen female suicide bombings, there's either been two women who are both bombers," said Swift.

The FSB, Russia's domestic intelligence service preceded by the KGB, declined to comment for this report.
 
Hamburg, Germany, to ban cars in 2034

By Ronan Glon

The government of Hamburg, Germany, has announced it will ban all cars from driving in the city center by 2034 in a bid to significantly reduce greenhouse emissions.

The second-largest city in Germany is in the early stages of implementing an ambitious development plan called Grüne Netz (Green Network). It aims to replace several major roads with green spaces that will give residents a chance to engage in outdoors activities such as hiking, swimming and having a picnic right in the middle of the city. The green spaces will all be connected and they will stretch from downtown to the outskirts of the city, covering roughly 17,000 acres and 40-percent of Hamburg's total area.

With cars banned, residents will move around by riding a bike, taking various forms of eco-friendly public transportation or simply walking. The plan is controversial, but politicians suggest that a majority of residents support the project.

"Our residents are quite progressive. Many Hamburgers are willing to give up their cars, which is very unusual in Germany," said Jens Kerstan, the leader of the city's Green Party.

30 planners are working around the clock to turn the plan into a reality.

Officials hope the Green Network will significantly reduce the effects of global warming. The city is located right on the North Sea and it has witnessed the sea level rise by nearly eight inches over the past sixty years, making it a high-risk area for flooding.
 
Teacher and married mother of three 'had sex with student, 17, and sent him racy text messages and X-rated videos'

By SNEJANA FARBEROV

A high school math teacher from Pennsylvania has been charged with having sex with a student and sending the 17-year-old inappropriate text messages and videos. Erica Ann Ginnetti, a 33-year-old married mother of three, was arraigned Friday on more than a dozen charges of institutional sexual assault, corruption of minor and disseminating obscene materials to a minor. According to investigators, the math and calculus teacher at Lower Moreland High School first approached the victim last May during the senior prom, inviting him to come work out at her gym. A few days later the 17-year-old responded to Ginnetti with a text message, and the two began communicating on a daily basis.

The criminal complaint against Ginnetti says that over the next several months, the educator sent the minor sexually explicit text messages, photos depicting her wearing bikini, a thong and other underwear, and videos showing the woman undressing suggestively and performing a sexual act on herself, according to The Bucks County Courier Times. According to officials, the illicit relationship culminated in July 2013 when Ginnetti and the male student met for coffee in a Philadelphia Starbucks and then drove to an industrial park to have sex in in the teacher's car. The 33-year-old then allegedly dropped off her paramour back at the coffee shop and asked him not to tell anyone about their encounter. The trim, raven-haired teacher appeared at the District Court in Willow Grove this morning for her arraignment wearing a plaid jacket and large sunglasses, as seen on the local ABC.

She was released on $50,000 bail pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for Valentine’s Day, February 14. As part of her bail condition, Ginnetti has been forbidden to have unsupervised contact with any minors except for her own children, ages 8, 11 and 14. She must also surrender her passport, and the authorities will keep track on her using a GPS device. Lower Moreland School District Superintendent Dr. Marykay Feeley said in a statement this morning that the math, calculus and algebra teacher has been placed on an administrative leave ahead of her impending termination. The allegations against the married mother-of-three came to light Wednesday when police got a tip from someone who had overhead students at Lower Moreland discussing X-rated pictures showing a minor and Ginnetti doing 'sexual things.'

When police questioned the 17-year-old boy, the teen came clean about his affair with Ginnetti, who also confessed to having a relationship with the student, police said.

‘I would say that she treated her relationship with this student as she would have treated a relationship with an adult with whom she was involved,’ Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman told The Mercury News.

Police said they found several texts the lovers had exchanged discussing their July outing and one mentioning ‘a used condom that had been left in Ginnetti’s vehicle,’ according to the criminal complaint.

On the night of the alleged tryst, after he returned home, the student told police he got a text from Ginnetti asking him to ‘do it again.’

Man Miraculously Survives Fall Through Wood Chipper

By: Taylor Berman

A man suffered serious injuries when he was sucked through an industrial-sized wood chipper earlier this week. Most of the man's body was crushed and shredded in the accident.

"Actually going through the machine itself wasn't the worst part about it," Frank Arce told KATU from his hospital bed in Vancouver, Washington. "What was the worst part (was) the not knowing what was going to happen."

Arce climbed into the turned-off machine to remove an object that'd become stuck. Not realizing Arce was inside, a co-worker turned the machine back on. While inside, Arce said he heard the machine's engine turn back on but by that time it was too late to escape.

Arce suffered a broken pelvis, seven broken ribs, a shattered ankle, bruised liver, broken leg, a collapsed lung, a crushed knee, and a deep cut that runs the entire length of his body in the accident. He's expected to remain in the hospital for at least three weeks.

Perhaps the worst part of the ordeal, aside from the gruesome injuries? Arce remained conscious throughout the shredding, which took 10 seconds in total.

Despite the severity of his injuries, Arce is thankful. "There was a thought (that I was going to die) but it was more like something was telling me I wasn't going to die that day," he said. "I felt I had a lot of angels out there with me that day – a lot of people looking out for me."
 
Doctor Braves Snowstorm, Walks 6 Miles to Perform Emergency Surgery

By: Taylor Berman

A surgeon in Alabama trekked more than six miles on foot during Tuesday's snowstorm to perform life-saving brain surgery on a patient.

Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw was working at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham on Tuesday when he received word that a patient requiring emergency brain surgery had arrived at Trinity Medical Center, located more than six miles away. But because of Tuesday's storm, which effectively shut down transportation across the Southeast, Hrynkiw was able to drive only three blocks before traffic stopped. He quickly called the hospital.

"The cell service was bad so we were fading in and out," Steve Davis, charge nurse in the neuro intensive care unit at Trinity, told AL.com. "At one point, I heard him say, 'I'm walking.'"

Davis contacted hospital authorities, who notified law enforcement. "The police were looking for him," Davis said.

Several hours went by before Hrynkiw's calls got through. "He finally called me and said, 'Where's the patient? What's the status?'" Davis said.

Not long after, Hrynkiw finally arrived at the hospital, met with the patient's family, and performed the surgery. The patient, who would've died without the procedure, is doing well and is expected to recover.

"This just speaks volumes to the dedication of the [Dr.Hrynkiw]," Davis said. "When I saw him, all I could say is 'you are a good man.'"
 
Married high school teacher, 24, accused of having sex with student, 15, more than 50 times

By: Alex Greig

A teacher accused of sexually assaulting a student more than 50 times has been arrested after turning herself in.

Carrie Miller, 24, is accused of sexual assault and enticement through electronic devices for allegedly having sexual contact with a then-15-year-old boy in the fall of 2012.

Miller, a Spanish teacher at Johnson County Central High School from Tecumseh, was married at the time of the assaults.

According to court documents, Miller had sexual contact with the boy between 50 and 60 times during the fall of 2012.

She was arrested Tuesday and went before a judge Wednesday, who set her bail at $25,000.

The probable cause affidavit says the two routinely exchanged text messages, graphic photographs and inappropriate conversations.

The alleged encounters were usually arranged by cell phone and took place in both Johnson County and an abandoned farmhouse in neighboring Nemaha County, where she will also face charges.

Miller was married to a Lincoln man in September 2011 and the couple filed for divorce in February 2013.

According to ABC 8, the information that led to Miller's arrest was provided by a tipster.

Deputy Johnson County Attorney Rick Smith said accusations of this nature rarely happen in the area. 'This is the first time I've heard of it in my 32 years,' he said.

Local parents were shocked at the allegations.

Grandparent Pat McKinney whose children and now grandchildren attend the school said her reaction was 'Shock, just shock.'

'Children at this age are easily manipulated,' McKinney told 1011, 'and easily led into doing something.'

McKinney and another parent, Carolyn Justus, said that they had heard nothing from the school about the incident and only found out about Miller's arrest through the media.

The school has not commented on Miller's arrest, saying only that the school is dealing with a 'personnel' issue.

Miller's next court date is February 26.

Poor Americans Can Now Get Their Twinkies At Big Lots

By: Ken Layne

Good news for America's growing ranks of poor people already plagued by heart disease and diabetes: Twinkies, the industrial spooge-tube cakes that will never become stale, will now be sold by discount retailer Big Lots at up to 40% less than grocery store prices.

The snack brand briefly vanished in 2012 before returning last year with a non-union workforce. Twinkies are popular with the poor because they're cheap and sweet and filling. Until the old Hostess company and its unionized work force was shut down, Twinkies and Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread were available at Hostess "thrift stores" that sold the merchandise at a big discount.

Since those stores were closed, Americans have had to pay higher prices at the fancy fresh-food supermarkets. Big Lots, which sells a random assortment of discount items at run-down strip malls across America, now has the Hostess "thrift store" business to itself.

"The thrift outlets were extremely popular," Big Lots CEO David Campisi said in a press release. "We are thrilled to team up with this iconic brand and give customers a new destination to find outstanding savings on the products they know and love."

Americans are increasingly poor—48 million are now on food stamps—and poor people eat terrible food because it's cheap and addictive. When you eat nothing but processed fats, sugars and sodium for a while, everything else tastes "weird."
