Rudy Trace Soliz III, a former Customs and Border Protection, pleaded guilty to alien smuggling and bribery, the U.S. Attorney’s office announced today. He did it “in return for sexual favors with the co-conspirator,” the feds say

…This hot desire converts to cold disdain.” (Hey, we’re nothing but classy here.)The female co-conspirator has already pleaded guilty to possession of more than five kilos of cocaine with intent to distribute. She had yet to be sentenced, so we guess Soliz figured she wouldn’t exactly keep his secret when she got on the stand.The transporting of illegal aliens conviction carries a maximum punishment of 10 years imprisonment, while the bribery conviction is punishable by a maximum 15-year-term of imprisonment, the U.S. Attorney’s office says. Each count of conviction is also punishable with fines of up to $250,000….

Why I Give Starbucks A Fake Name

Aug 4th

I came up with a “coffee name.” Something simple that a coffee jockey can scribble on a cup without thinking. And, after taking a survey, it’s clear that many others have come up with a similar solution.

…otherwise, it takes forever,” he says.

“M” is the java code for Midwin (a grande sweetened ice coffee) who says that it’s mostly the spelling that baristas get hung up on. “See?” she says when we asked to spell her name. “Everyone asks how to spell it!”

Starbucks employees are well aware of the game. The only problem, says a barista at the 8th Street Starbucks, is when a customer loses track of his or her coffee alias.

“Yeah, people will forget what name they gave us,” she says. At that point, two frappucinos for Eric were sitting at the bar…and only one Eric showed up. Another employee at the 8th Street Starbucks says there is one customer who comes in everyday with a new name. “And it’s a foreign name, too,” she says. “Like ‘Sven,’ I mean you can tell that’s not his name.” She hears customers use their street name or last name.

The barista at the Union Square Starbucks says he never uses his own name. “I say something like ‘Cool Guy.’ But sometimes we hear the wrong name, or sometimes the customer…

Mom Who Starved Baby Is Pregnant Again

Aug 3rd

Her last two kids were taken away from her. But that didn’t stop Brittainy Labberton from getting pregnant again.

…we all see it coming.”
What the county fears is a repeat of Labberton’s first two attempts at motherhood. Following the birth of her second child in August of 2008, Labberton says she became depressed and suicidal, yet refused to take medication.

The 5′5”, 90-pound woman feared getting fat. And seemed to project those fears onto her kids, who, as everyone knows, are supposed to be a little chubby.

Labberton’s younger daughter was first taken from her custody after she only gained one pound in her first two months of life. Then, after a supervised visit in which she told the foster parents her kid looked fat, the baby got diarrhea. Tests later revealed that Labberton had fed the child laxatives.

Labberton’s older daughter, then two, was also taken from her care. Her foster parents say that when they first brought her home, she ate so fast she choked.

There’s good reason to believe this pattern is repeating itself now, as Labberton has already been hospitalized once during her latest pregnancy for not…

APOD: 2010 August 1 - Venus Once Molten Surface

If you could look across Venus with radar eyes, what might you see? This computer reconstruction of the surface of Venus was created from data from the Magellan spacecraft.

…Explanation:
If you could look across Venus with
radar eyes, what might you see?

This computer reconstruction of the surface of
Venus was created from data from the
Magellan spacecraft.

Magellan orbited Venus and used
radar to map our
neighboring
planet’s
surface between 1990 and 1994.

Magellan found many
interesting surface features,
including the large circular domes,
typically 25-kilometers across, that are depicted above.

Volcanism
is thought to have created the
domes, although the precise mechanism remains unknown.

Venus’ surface is so hot and
hostile that no surface probe
has lasted more than a few minutes….

The Top Ten Rap Supergroups That Never Happened

Jul 31st

Posted by sammy3 in News

Rap’s history is littered with fanciful unions, most of which rarely get beyond the brain-storming stage: pesky little glitches like scheduling conflicts, waning enthusiasm, and mortality, among other things, tend to keep most supergroups from ever becoming reality.

…Over the weekend, the rapper Sean Price took to Twitter to propose a collaboration album between his own Brooklyn-based Boot Camp Clik hip-hop crew and Staten Island’s mighty Wu-Tang Clan. The idea has been received rapturously. But then again, theoretical hip-hop supergroups usually are. Rap’s history is littered with fanciful unions, most of which rarely get beyond the brain-storming stage: pesky little glitches like scheduling conflicts, waning enthusiasm from higher profile members, and mortality, among other things, tend to keep most supergroups from ever becoming reality. But that doesn’t mean playing rap fantasy football isn’t fun. Here’s a rundown of ten of the most desired hip-hop supergroups from the genre’s real life annals, along with the reason they never quite happened:Wu-Tang Clan vs. Boot Camp Clik
