Local News From Lehigh Valley August 17-18 2010

Here’s some local news items that I found interesting for one reason or another. All of them are from the Lehigh Valley’s local newspaper The Morning Call and took place approximately around August 17 and 18th 2010. So, in no particular order: Emmaus Man Steals Almost $400,000 From His Company Over the Course of 9 years “A 57-year-old Emmaus man has been charged with stealing nearly $400,000 from his employer to support a cocaine habit, borough police said.” Full Story Normally, I would applaud such a thing…unfortunately, I can’t cosign the fact that all of those thousands supposedly went to […]

Why Are Some Towns Getting Rid of Their Police Force?

July 17, 2001 This article from AolNews took me a little by surprise. I knew that towns, and even whole states are feeling the financial crunch right now…but I had no idea that you could disband a town’s police force to save some money. It seems that San Luis, Colorado and various other towns are looking to cut costs by cutting out law enforcement. Around the country…towns — large and small — are also eliminating their police departments. The Los Angeles suburb of Maywood, Calif., fired its officers, as did rural Bethel, Maine. Near Pittsburgh, Fallowfield, Pa., also voted to […]

Twitter Down and FaceBook Acting Up Too – August 6th, 2009
Meh, everybody else was blogging about it, so I figured I would too 😛 You mean Twitter AND FaceBook?!?! The Social Web Weeps! It seems that Twitter is currently down – Not only that, but the reason for the popular social site going offline is because of an ongoing DDoS attack, which has been confirmed by the Twitter staff on their blog…What is a Denial of Service attack you ask? Ask wiki🙂 – but yea, it can get pretty nasty. Damn Shame. I was trying to get my tweet on when it happened. As you know, when Twitter ain’t behaving, […]

Woman Sued Over a Tweet
Horizon Group v. Bonnen – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Horizon Group v. Bonnen was a libel suit brought by Horizon Realty Group, a Chicago real estate management company, against one of its former tenants, Amanda Bonnen, in Cook County Circuit Court. This case has received extensive publicity and touches on issues such as consumer protection, limits of libel, free speech, and strategic lawsuits against public participation.
