Woman Helps Cops Find Men Who Stole Her Laptop

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) -- A Westchester woman who had her laptop stolen was able to connect to the computer, photograph two suspects and give the photos to police.

White Plains Police say they used the photos to arrest Edmon Shahikian, 23, of Katonah and 20-year-old Ian Frias of the Bronx Wednesday night. Police say they recovered most of the $5,000 worth of electronics stolen from the woman's White Plains apartment back on April 27.

Police say the woman was called from a friend asking if she was online.

The victim said no and was told by the friend that her computer showed her as being on the Internet.

At that point the victim signed onto another computer and used the "Back to My Mac" program to determine that her stolen MacIntosh laptop was on the Web.

She then used the stolen computer's camera to photograph Shahikian.

Internet addictions: A real medical menace?

nobody@vox.com(Tonylimo) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 02:11:01 -0700

Alcohol, drugs, food, sex, and even shopping are all candidates for medical treatment and are recognized as genuine mental disorders, so what about the Internet? Internet addiction -defined as "excessive gaming, sexual pre-occupations, and email/text messaging" - is becoming so common that at least one psychiatrist says it merits inclusion in psychiatry's official handbook of mental illness, the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders."

Dr. Jerald Block of the Oregon Health and Science University is the latest voice pushing for this inclusion, noting that tech junkies display genuinely debilitating behavior, including drug-like cravings, withdrawal, and a constant need for more and better gear - just like a substance addict might exhibit.

But other doctors comment that Internet addiction, while it may be real, is too new of a condition and needs further study before being medically classified. There might be something to this: No one wants people being medicated or institutionalized if they aren't genuinely ill.

A Face-Off Over Horse-Drawn Carriages

Even Cupid couldn’t bring these two together.

Valentine’s Day, like Christmas, is often associated with feelings of amity, reconciliation and goodwill toward others. But a rally by animal-rights activists seeking a ban on horse-drawn carriages in New York City resulted in police intervention this afternoon, after supporters of the industry held a noisy counter-protest. Police officers set up metal barricades to separate the two sides, which screamed and chanted at each other. Each group tried to drown the other out.

About 40 supporters of Friends of Animals, a nonprofit group that claims 15,000 members in New York City, gathered on Central Park South near Fifth Avenue around 1 p.m., seeking to draw attention to what they described as the neglect and mistreatment of the roughly 200 horses that are licensed by the city to carriages.

Cops: 4 Charged with Stealing $93K Worth of i-Phones

nobody@vox.com(Tonylimo) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:52:49 -0800

NEW YORK (AP) -- A shipment of Apple I-Phones valued at $93,000 was stolen from a warehouse in Valley Stream.

Nassau County Police say the I-Phones were taken from Rojay World
Freight. They were stored in a warehouse in Valley Stream before being
shipped via Cathay Pacific Airways from John F. Kennedy Airport to Hong
Kong. However, Cathay Pacific realized the package had been tampered with

and discovered it was full of reams of paper rather than the I-phones.
Cathay Pacific notified Hong Kong Police who called the Port Authority
of New York-New Jersey. They in turn notified Nassau County Police.

Led Zep: We'll rock again in NY ??

nobody@vox.com(Tonylimo) — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 05:15:46 -0800

LED ZEPPELIN celebrated their triumphant comeback gig by planning world
domination over cups of tea and coffee.
Unlike in their hellraising heyday, singer ROBERT PLANT and guitarist JIMMY
PAGE slapped each other on the back and were handed giant mugs of hot
drinks.
But then the rock fighting talk began and they discussed returning to Madison
Square Garden in New York - where they did three sell-out shows in 1973.
My source backstage at London’s O2 arena said: “Robert had a couple of bottles
of beer before going on stage but afterwards it was just hot mugs of tea and
coffee.
“The band were really fired up and were talking about their late drummer JOHN
BONHAM and what he would have thought about it - it was a time for
reflection.
“Then the talk went to, ‘What next? Was this it or would there be something
else?’ One of the guys started talking about their three concerts at the
Garden.
There was a consensus of, ‘Why not?’ It is one of the best live music venues
in the world. I have no doubt after their reaction backstage that they will
be there next year playing to a sell-out crowd.”
