Remember when grannies baked cookies...
PORTSMOUTH -- A Boston grandmother had been smoking crack Friday night before the car she was riding in crashed into a Seabrook police cruiser, sped up Route 1 at 100 miles-per-hour, then crashed into a tree on Elwyn Road, police allege. Wonder if she had one of them "Ask Me About My Grandchildren" vanity plates?
The grandmother, Monique Sadberry, 40,
Do note the age. She's not one of those sweet, grey-haired granny types, but rather an early achiever. Ah, those Generation X-ers.
of 16 Akron St., Roxbury, was one of three Boston women arraigned Monday in Portsmouth District Court in connection with a Feb. 5 high-speed pursuit and subsequent manhunt by police in the Elwyn Park neighborhood. Police allege that after the car crashed into a tree in front of 1380 Elwyn Road, Sadberry was found walking in the area by Officer Rich Brabazon. When interviewed at police headquarters by Officer Nicole Mercer, Sadberry is alleged to have said she and two men had been smoking cigarettes laced with crack. Must've met them at an antique shop...
According to police, a crack pipe and crack-laced cigarettes were later found in the crashed car. ...and bags and bags of butterscotch candy.
Sadberry is charged with two felony counts of drug possession, and Class B misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and false reports to law enforcement. During the Feb. 8 video arraignment, prosecutor Karl Durand told the court Sadberry has nine known aliases and a criminal history including convictions for larceny, drug possession and auto theft. Sadberry requested the services of a public defender, said she is on probation and resides with her two teenage children and a grandchild. She said she has no job and collects social security. Other then that, she's a pillar of the community...
It sounds like Ms Sadberry has a career, if temporarily not a job, mostly because she crashed the car and was caught by the police. Otherwise her career would have continued merrily along.
Judge Sawako Gardner maintained the $25,000 cash-only bail previously set by a bail commissioner and Sadberry was scheduled to return to the court for a Feb. 18 probable cause hearing. Sounds like THE MAN! has it in for her...
Also arraigned Monday was alleged codefendant Linda Estrella, 44, of 15 Chase St., Dorchester. The court learned that both Sadberry and Estrella had previously given police wrong addresses. Oooooooops...sorry.
Police allege Estrella was riding in the back of the car during the Friday night pursuit, fled the scene after crashing in Elwyn Park, then hid under a resident's porch. After another resident told police someone had run across his front lawn, a police dog tracked to the porch and Estrella was found with her hands in the air, according to a police affidavit. During a police pat-down, Estrella was found in possession of a five dollar bill folded around a quantity of cocaine, according to police. She is charged with a felony count of drug possession and a Class B count of resisting arrest.
During her Monday video arraignment, Estrella said she lives with her three children and fiance and is unable to post high cash bail. Prosecutor Rena DiLando told the court Estrella had an ID card and checks under a false name, has ten aliases, four social security numbers and a criminal history involving thefts and drugs. But...I'm turning my life around, ya honor, starting...right now!
Another driven career woman.
Judge Gardner maintained Estrella's $25,000 cash-only bail and scheduled her to return to the court for a Feb. 18 probable cause hearing.
The alleged driver, Jacqueline Trottman, 43, of 3 Stockton St., Dorchester, is charged with a felony count of drug possession and misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest, disobeying an officer, conduct after an accident and possession of drugs in a motor vehicle. She is also charged with violation-level counts of reckless operation and driving after suspension. Police allege she drove through "several" red lights at speeds up to 100 miles-per-hour with her headlights out, while a police cruiser was behind her with a siren and blue lights activated. Prosecutor Karl Durand told the court Trottman has criminal records in four states, eight aliases, five social security numbers and two dates of birth. Her criminal history includes convictions for forgery, fraud, larceny and drugs, he said. But I'm "good people", your honor. Ask anybody!
"I wasn't the only one in the motor vehicle and I wasn't found inside the motor vehicle," Trottman said during her arraignment. "My codefendants are detoxing and I'm not detoxing." Yeah, I ain't no hypocrite like them bitches! I love crack!
Trottman asked for low bail so she could be released to care for an ailing parent. Awwwwwwww...what a loving, caring daughter. I'm sure mom and dad are gonna miss her.
Judge Gardner denied the request, maintaining bail at $25,000 cash and scheduled Trottman to return to the court for a Feb. 18 probable cause hearing.
The women's arrest followed a two-hour manhunt in the Elwyn Park neighborhood Friday night by officers from Portsmouth, Rye, New Castle, Stratham, State Police and the Strafford County Sheriff's Department. Lt. Mark Newport said that while Lt. Russell Russo was pursuing the car, other Portsmouth officers set up stop sticks near the Route 1 Bypass. Instead of traveling in that direction, the women turned onto Elwyn Road, where the Toyota they were riding in was found crashed into the tree. Mugs at the link. This is not the cast of "Cougartown"...
Police initially believed the speeding car was linked to an armed carjacking which occurred earlier in the afternoon in North Hampton, but later determined the incidents were unrelated. Well, at least they got that going for them...

I thought, "It can't be that bad", so I followed the link. Talk about 40 miles of bad road... I've got relatives that look like that, but theirs is from hard work and low pay (mostly farm hands).

Yasutake, .... said the MARTA staff members didnt appear concerned that yellow is considered insensitive and might infuriate members of the community.

In all seriousness, the Asian community... Vietnamese, Cambodian, Korean, Thai and others have brought a tremendous boost to the Atlanta community. They work hard, own many businesses, take education very seriously, are thrifty savers, and they stay out of jail!

Well, in the South, "yellow" meant a mix of white with something else, usually black, as in "Yellow Rose of Texas". That song is not about a rose, it is about a woman if mixed race named Rose.

Here's a suggestion: The "Asian oommunity" needs to get over itself.

[Al Arabiya Latest] Michael Jackson's doctor was charged with involuntary manslaughter on Monday ahead of a long-awaited court hearing where he is expected to deny causing the pop icon's death. Looks like his plastique surgeon's gonna get off, though...
A statement from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office -- which had already confirmed criminal charges would be issued against Conrad Murray -- set out the allegations against the 56-year-old physician.
Murray has been a focus of investigations for months, since the coroner's office ruled that Jackson's June 25, 2009 death was a homicide by drug overdose.
Murray was at Jackson's rented Los Angeles house at the time of his death and was the man who, according to police affidavits, admitted administering the powerful anesthetic propofol to the 50 year-old singer to help him sleep.
The coroner's report in August said Jackson's death was caused principally by propofol and the sedative lorazepam. A cocktail of other painkillers, sedatives and a stimulant were also found in his body.
The charge of involuntary manslaughter alleges Murray "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson," said a statement from the Los Angeles District Attorney's office.
Murray is expected to make an initial appearance in court in Los Angeles later on Monday.
He could face up to four years in prison if convicted, the district attorney's office said.

As D.C. continued to dig out from Snowmageddon and is keeping an eye on another storm system, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was busy making a climate change announcement.
NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. "More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives," the release says.
Earlier snowmelt? That would be nice.
Turns out the release was planned prepared ahead of the snowstorm, which shut federal agencies today and forced its senders to hold a press conference by telephone instead of at the National Press Club.
It's not the first time inclement weather has put a chill on official efforts to tackle climate change. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to leave the Copenhagen summit early in December to get back to D.C. before the blizzard known as Snowpocalypse grounded all flights.
We know how this argument goes: Climate change-skeptics such as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says that the weather conditions prove that "global warming" is a hoax; activists say that scientists are looking at longer-lasting weather patterns.
But, says NOAA spokesman Justin Kenney, they're happy to have a chance to educate people about the difference between the climate and the weather. That should be good. Sort of like learning the difference between business and economics.

educate people about the difference between the climate and the weather.
However, they don't. In fact they are redefining what climate means. Climate means the relative influence of the weather systems that occur at different latitudes around the globe. For example, a mediteranean climate is one where the predominate influence in winter is mid-latitude low pressure systems, while in summer the predominate influence is sub-tropical highs.
Despite confident predictions that climate change would expand these weather systems and shift them poleward, as they should were the climate really warming, they have stubbornly refused to move.
So climate is redefined to mean average weather. so the largely specious global average temperature can become the measure of 'climate change'.
If they were being truthful, they would say even though the atmosphere is warming (assuming it is), the climate isn't changing (against expectations and the predictions of theory).
#5
I'm still waiting for any of the warmists to answer the question, what is the correct temperature of the earth. Everyone I've asked just gives me silence and a stupid look on their face.

As I've posted about before, my daughter (9th grade) has a PowerPoint presentation she made refuting the AGW madness, which she's presented to various audiences since 8th grade. Her latest was at the regional NWS office (a part of NOAA) at the invitation of the office director who had seen her presentation at another venue. From the comments of the staff (some diplomatically phrased at the meeting, others more direct but private) it was clear that most don't buy into the madness, but can't speak out against it directly for fear of career repercussions.
On the one hand it's gratifying to see her get such positive recognition for her work; on the other hand it's infuriating to see such politicization of science and sad to have my kid exposed to it at such a young age.
#7
I find it interesting that in my high school days talking about the weather was a sure way to ruin a first date, and a person who would talk about the weather in conversation was considered a dullard.
Now, at the drop of a hat, people are not only expected to be able to talk about future imaginary weather, but also what they are doing in order to stop future imaginary weather. To not be able to do so makes a person an outcast who enjoys the slow broil of babies.
[Al Arabiya Latest] Saudi Arabia's human rights commission has hired a lawyer to help a 12-year-old girl divorce her 80-year-old husband, the lawyer said, a move activists hope will lead to a ban on child marriages.
Saudi Arabia has no minimum legal age for marriage. Fathers are granted guardianship over their daughters, giving them control over who their daughters marry and when.
The girl from Buraidah, a town near the capital Riyadh, was married to her father's elderly cousin late last year for bridal money of 85,000 riyals ($22,670), her lawyer Sultan bin Zahim told Reuters.
Activists see the divorce proceedings as a test case that could pave the way for introducing a minimum age for marriage in the world's largest oil exporter.
The child's mother had earlier filed for divorce on her daughter's behalf but withdrew without giving a reason after a second court hearing in early February, bin Zahim said.

Laura Chinchilla has won a landslide victory to become the next president of Costa Rica. Mrs Chinchilla will become the first woman to lead her country after securing a clear victory in the presidential election.
"Thank you, Costa Rica!" said Mrs Chinchilla, the candidate of the ruling National Liberation Party, addressing thousands of supporters after her top rival conceded defeat.
"This is a moment for joy, but above all, also a moment for humility," the president-elect continued.
"I will not betray your confidence because it is clear that it has not been given to me as a gift."
Mrs Chinchilla, the protégé of Nobel peace laureate President Oscar Arias, is set to take office on May 8. The 50-year-old career politician was born into a political family and served as public safety minister, congressional deputy and most recently as vice president and justice minister in outgoing President Arias's cabinet.
Married with a teenage son, Mrs Chinchilla is a social conservative opposing gay marriage, abortion and any change to Roman Catholicism's position as the state religion.
Costa Rica's development strategy in recent years has centred around boosting tourism and exports, mainly fruit and high-quality coffee, but increasingly also manufactured goods such as microchips, through free-trade pacts.
"These are priority issues for us," Chinchilla said. "The greatest challenge we face in the coming years is to take the absolute most of these trade treaties."

Costa Rica is quietly developing a solid democracy and open economy with a functioning middle class. One of the people helping to make that happen is a former citizen who became a NASA astronaut, Frank Chang Diaz (PhD in plasma physics, MIT).
After a trully stellar career (pun intended), including 7 space flights as well as directing the Advanced Propulsion Lab, Diaz founded his own company to develop plasma-based propulsion systems for space exploration. He gives a lot of his time and energy to encouraging Costa Ricans into rigorous science and engineering careers and has backed that up by basing part of his company in Costa Rica and employing the very good ones.
He's a good example of some of the people quietly leading that country into peace, prosperity and a decent, orderly and free society. Chincilla's election is just one evidence that the people there are taking the message to heart.

Hopefully she will successfully overcome these...credentials.
MORE than half of Chinese people questioned in a poll believe China and America are heading for a new cold war'.
An independent survey of Chinese-language media for The Sunday Times has found army and navy officers predicting a military showdown and political leaders calling for China to sell more arms to America's foes. The trigger for their fury was Obama's decision to sell $6.4 billion (£4 billion) worth of weapons to Taiwan, the thriving democratic island that has ruled itself since 1949.
We should retaliate with an eye for an eye and sell arms to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba and Venezuela,' declared Liu Menxiong, a member of the Chinese people's political consultative conference.
He added: We have nothing to be afraid of. The North Koreans have stood up to America and has anything happened to them? No. Iran stands up to America and does disaster befall it? No.'
This time China must punish the US,' said Major-General Yang Yi, a naval officer. We must make them hurt.' A major-general in the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Luo Yuan, told a television audience that more missiles would be deployed against Taiwan. And a PLA strategist, Colonel Meng Xianging, said China would qualitatively upgrade' its military over the next 10 years to force a showdown when we're strong enough for a hand-to-hand fight with the US'.
Chinese indignation was compounded when the White House said Obama would meet the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet, in the next few weeks.
When someone spits on you, you have to get back,' said Huang Xiangyang, a commentator in the China Daily newspaper, usually seen as a showcase for moderate opinion.
But there are a few voices urging caution on Chinese public opinion. China will look unreal if it behaves aggressively and competes for global leadership,' wrote Wang Yusheng, a retired diplomat, in the China Daily.
He warned that China was not as rich or as powerful as America or Japan and therefore such a move could be hazardous'.
It is not clear whether anyone in Beijing is listening.

China has always been big with the words, usually coming from Generals which provide deniability.
Fact is it won't be long before the US will stop selling to Taiwan because of political pressures, economics and cowardice. At that point, if Taiwan doesn't have other allies they'll start looking for some kind of accomidation. Perhaps some kind of special area like Hong Kong, or a ten or twenty year transition plan to allow the Chinese to take victory now but delay the inevitable and avoid a conflict that might really smash up the region.
KIEV, UkraineOpposition leader Viktor Yanukovych appeared to win Ukraine's presidential election, near-complete returns showed Monday, although his opponent showed no sign of conceding defeat.
Mr. Yanukovych polled 48.66% of the ballots cast Sunday, to 45.75% for Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. Mr. Yanukovych proclaimed victory. But Ms. Tymoshenko didn't comment Monday, cancelling an afternoon press conference and closeting herself with aides. Her next move remains unclear, indicating Ukraine could be in for a protracted struggle in the courts. Before the election she had threatened to call supporters onto the streets if there was evidence of fraud.
International observers led by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe judged the vote, in which nearly 70% of the electorate turned out, as free and fair, a sign that this former Soviet republic of 46 million people is behaving more like a Western democracy. The observer team called on both candidates to accept the results. "It is now time for the country's politicians to listen to the people's verdict and make sure that the transition of power is peaceful and constructive," Mr. Soares said.
If confirmed, Mr. Yanukovych's victory represents a remarkable comeback after his defeat in 2004, when mass protests, which became known as the Orange Revolution, overturned his disputed victory. Then, Viktor Yushchenko won a court-ordered repeat ballot, and Ms. Tymoshenko, the fiery heroine of the protests, became prime minister. But Mr. Yushchenko's constant arguing with Ms. Tymoshenko, his government's lagging reforms and an economic contraction of 15% last year opened the way for Mr. Yanukovych's return.
Mr. Yanukovych has pledged to oust Ms. Tymoshenko from her post as prime minister by attracting some of her current allies to a new coalition, led by his Party of Regions. If this move fails, he promised early parliamentary elections.
A protracted transition period would delay attempts to bring stability to the country's fragile economy. High on the new president's agenda is the need to reboot a $16.4 billion lending program with the International Monetary Fund, which suspended its support late last year after budget-busting social spending increases were passed into law.

Russia's grip on Ukraine just got a we bit stronger.
[Al Arabiya Latest] Prosecutors in Turkey are seeking life in jail for the father and grandfather of a girl who was buried alive for befriending boys, local judicial sources said Monday.
The pair were arrested after the body of 16-year-old Medine Memi was found in a sitting position with her hands tied,
A post mortem showed a significant amount of soil in her lungs and stomach, meaning she was buried alive, forensic experts have said.
in a hole in a chicken pen outside her house in Kahta town, Adiyaman province, 40 days after she went missing.
A post mortem showed a significant amount of soil in her lungs and stomach, meaning she was buried alive, forensic experts have said.
Her father Ayhan Memi, 40, and grandfather Fethi Memi, 65, have refused to talk to investigators and prosecutors since their arrest in early December in the Kurdish town.
The judicial source said they would likely face a charge of "premeditated homicide with aggravating circumstances, perpetrated with cruelty" being drawn up by prosecutors.
Turkish law demands life in prison if convicted of those charges.
The teenager "never went to school and perhaps barely knew how to read and write," Muhammed Cevik, who owns the local Kahta newspaper, told AFP.

SRINAGAR, India-controlled Kashmir, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from the snow avalanche in India-controlled Kashmir Monday climbed to 17, all victims being Indian army troopers including an officer, while 17 others were injured, Indian army officials said. The rescue operation in the area has been suspended and all the trapped troopers caught underneath the avalanche are stated to have been evacuated.
The avalanche hit an army camp from Indian Army's High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) around 11:00 a.m. local time in Khelanmarg area of Gulmarg, 65 km west of Srinagar, the summer capital of India-control Kashmir.
"The rescue operations have been called off and all those trapped inside were rescued. The death toll in the incident rose to 17 and 17 others have sustained injuries. Rest all the people have been evacuated," said Lt. Col J. S. Brar, Indian army spokesman in Srinagar.
Some 100 Indian army troopers undergoing training in the upper reaches had got trapped in the snow after hit by an avalanche. Soon after receiving the news the Indian army troopers along with police launched massive searches in the area to retrieve the trapped troopers. The injured are undergoing treatment in hospital.
The HAWS houses around 350 trainees from different army units across India and the coaches here train them to fight in subzero temperatures. The troopers in the camp hit by the avalanche were part of HAWS Gulmarg.
Meanwhile, the local authorities have said no tourists or civilians were trapped in the avalanche. Gulmarg, 50 km west of Srinagar city is the world famous ski resort in the region. During this period the area remains crowded with tourists and skiers. The area has been getting rave reviews from skiers all round the world for its virgin and less crowded peaks.
The region's Disaster management office had issued high avalanche warnings Sunday evening for upper reaches including the Khelanmarg. It had advised people inhabiting upper areas to avoid venturing outside for the region was receiving heavy snowfall for the past three days.

[Iran Press TV Latest] Sri Lanka's defeated presidential candidate, former General Sarath Fonseka, has been arrested and taken into custody charged with conspiracy against the president.
"He was dragged away in a very disgraceful manner in front of our own eyes," Muslim Congress leader Rauff Hakeem told Reuters. One of Fonseka's security officers, I. P. Herath, confirmed the account.
The charges date back to the time when he was serving as the country's top military officer, Hakeem said.
Fonseca, who lost by an 18-point margin in the January 26 presidential election, blamed President Mahinda Rajapaksa of rigging the vote. The government in turn has accused him of a coup and an assassination plot while he was still serving.
The outspoken commander had quit his military post in November, after defeating the Tamil Tigers seeking autonomy for minority Tamils, to run as the candidate of a disparate opposition alliance.
Lakshman Hulugalle, director of the state-run Media Center for National Security, said Fonseka had been arrested by military police and would be tried by a court-martial that will be closed to the public.
"He was having discussions with various political party leaders and the opposition to overthrow the government and the president, and getting into politics and planning to divide the army while he was still serving," Hulugalle said.
