8-Foot alligator found at Van Nuys house with dead cats
VAN NUYS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- It was an open secret in the neighborhood that an 8-foot alligator was living at a Van Nuys house, along with many wild cats, but all it took was one unhappy neighbor to get the alligator out of there.
Authorities say the investigation began in late 2014 when animal control was alerted to a possible alligator in the 13200 block of Sylvan Street. Officers searched the property but did not find anything.
On Monday, animal control officers served a search warrant at the home and located the female alligator, named Jaxson, in a covered box in the yard.
It is illegal to keep wildlife without a permit in L.A. A criminal investigation is now underway, and a case is expected to be presented to the city attorney's office for prosecution.
"I understand now it's not legal, but when it becomes a pet, it becomes your family," said Ron Gorecki, brother of the alligator owner. "When it becomes your family, you protect the pet and the people involved. That's all there is to it."
Gorecki's sister, Laura Mattson, was Jaxson's owner. She says Jaxson first joined the family through her late husband Jim.
"It's like losing part of my family and plus losing part of Jim. So now I've lost him too," Mattson said.
Animal authorities believe that the gator was being fed cats because several dead cats were found nearby. Jaxson's owners say they fed the cats, they didn't feed the cats to Jaxson, who ate nothing but chicken.
"Now we lost the alligator. And now they're making statements that shouldn't be making because nobody's feeding cats to the alligator. We got plenty of money to feed whatever we have to feed," Gorecki said.
Officials say the alligator is 37 years old.
"These type of reptiles can be dangerous," said Mark Salazar, department of animal services field commander. "If anyone is housing an animal like this ... turn the animal in, contact the local zoo."
Jaxson's owners dispute that their gator was dangerous. The owners are facing citations for maintaining a wild animal without proper care and maintenance and without proper permits. They could face further charges as well.
If Jaxson is the cute and dosile household pet that her owners insist, then how did the kitties come to be deceased? It would be somewhat of a coincidence if they were sharing the box with 200-pound alligator, and both just happened to expire from natural causes!
As for contacting the local zoo, it is already home to Reggie. Surely their capacity for housing all the enormous reptiles kept as pets by the city's wackos is not infinite?

News from my wife's workplace:
quote: Victor Valley News Apple thief bit off more than she could chew
REDLANDS-(VVNG.com): A Loma Linda Medical Center employee was arrested for embezzling office equipment on Tuesday, January 27th at approximately 8:46 a.m. Tammy Wren Violet Veach, 45 of Redlands was arrested in the 31000 block of Sutherland Drive in Redlands on suspicion of embezzlement and grand theft of approximately $360,000 Apple iPads and MacBooks.
The arrest was made after the detectives from the Central Station/Loma Linda Police Department obtained a search warrant to conduct a search of the suspects home. During the search of the home, it was determined that these items have been embezzled from the suspect’s place of employment during the course of her employment. As a result of the investigations and findings, Tammy Veach was subsequently arrested and booked into the Central Detention Center for Embezzlement and Grand Theft. Veach is no longer in custody after posting bail on January 28th at 11:22 a.m. There are no court dates scheduled at this time.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Michael Salazar at the Central Station/Loma Linda Police Department (909) 387-3545 or Sheriff’s Dispatch at (909) 941-1488. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to contact the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or you may leave information on the We-Tip website at www.wetip.com.
Let's face it: the story lends itself to pun headlines. "Rotten to the core" was another one we came up with...
On a more serious note, it never ceases to amaze me how this sort of thing happens again and again and again. When I was a schoolboy in the late '80s, the headmaster was done for embezzling tens of thousands in dribs and drabs over many years. I can think of around a dozen cases of people I've either known, or that someone I've known has known, who have been caught doing this sort of thing. And they're always people who are pretty well off to start with, but what they've got just isn't enough.

"Their Resistors Were Irresistable"
Interesting story about how many of the pioneers of Silicon Valley built the prototypes that started their muli-million dollar businesses with parts From Radio Shack
Link to Story
Radio Shack Closing: Wozniak, Nolan Bushnell Remember Geeks' Haven It was the corner hardware store of the tech revolution, a nerd fountainhead for the do-it-yourselfers who invented Silicon Valley. Eventually, they all needed a 9-pin null modem adapter, a capacitor or a VGA plug to get their startups off the ground, and so they made their way to Radio Shack.
"I remember going up and down the rows at Radio Shack just looking at resistors," said Steve Wozniak, who built the first Apple computer by hand, then co-founded the most successful electronics company in history. "I was a browser with no money at all. I just loved to look at all the electronics parts being sold. It was actually a part of my education."
Now, Radio Shack is engaged in a do-it-yourself death dance, on Tuesday closing the first wave of 1,784 stores that will shut their doors by the end of the month. The electronics chain declared bankruptcy Feb. 5, following years of declining sales, and will sell its remaining 1,750 stores to Sprint, the wireless carrier. Radio Shack's heyday was the mid-1970s, when the sale of citizens band radios accounted for 30 percent of revenues. But its real resonance resided in the raw materials the stores provided to every aspiring computer geek, gamer and audiophile. Long before Maker Faire, Radio Shack was to DIY for.
"I like to tinker, and Radio Shack was my childhood resource," said Nolan Bushnell, who co-founded Atari in 1972. "It was the only place that you could buy a resistor." Or a new switch for your old coffee percolator, a signal splitter for your Sony Betamax or a 50-foot cord for your headphones.
But as someone recently posted on Boingboing.net, "It's not like, 'I need a new RJ-11 to 3.5mm phone recording splitter because my bird bit through the old one' is a reasonable business" model. The online marketplace that Radio Shack helped create by selling modems, routers and all manner of couplers now undercuts it with razor-thin overhead. When Julie Chulick of San Jose pulled up at the Radio Shack on Blossom Hill Road last week, her shopping list seemed to sum up what had sealed the retailer's fate.
"I'm looking to find an old fashioned flip phone because I don't want an iPhone," she said. "I thought I would see if they still have them because they used to carry them." She conceded it had been a while since she'd visited one of the chain's stores, and most of her previous visits had been for her husband, who liked to fly remote-controlled model planes. "I would go in with a little note saying this is what he needs," Chulick recalled. She said the stores were "more a guy thing." Another customer at the store, named Alex, lamented, "The old way of doing business is gone."

Another customer at the store, named Alex, lamented, "The old way of doing business is gone."
When new ways of doing business come along now they are called "disruptive," and maybe Radio Shack's problem was that it never disrupted anything. When Wozniak was in college, during the 1971-72 school year, he developed a phone hacking device called a blue box that he and Steve Jobs sold. It relied on diodes Woz bought at the Shack, so when he and Jobs created their first computer, the Apple I, they went back to their old supplier. "We started calling Radio Shack to see if they wanted to buy it and give us some royalties," Woz said by phone from Dubai, where he was lecturing on the secrets of his success. "They said they only paid 5 percent royalties on a design. We thought we had something big, so 5 percent royalties kind of turned us off."
But by the time he and Jobs released the Apple II in 1977, Radio Shack -- which by then had been bought by the Tandy Corporation, producer of a line of do-it-yourself leather clothing -- released the TRS-80, a personal computer with such primitive skills it became known as the Trash 80. "What the Trash 80 did was popularize the idea that computer technology -- the parts that make computers -- actually had a value worth selling in a store," Wozniak said. "There were only three companies that jumped in to making computers right away -- Apple, Commodore and Radio Shack." Making and marketing its own computers in stores made Radio Shack a distant forerunner of Apple Stores' multibillion dollar retail operation.
Radio Shack also missed a chance to sell Atari's wildly popular computer game, Pong, when one of its buyers attempted to use the chain's clout to lowball Bushnell at a consumer electronics show in 1975. "He says, 'Now look, sonny, I'm going to tell you how it's going to be,'" Bushnell recalled. Atari was wholesaling the games for about $50, and Sears was selling them for $70. "He says, 'You're going to sell them to me for 30 bucks, and not a penny more.'" When Bushnell protested that he would lose money on the deal, Radio Shack's man stormed out.
"Universally in Silicon Valley at that time, Radio Shack was hated," Bushnell said. "When they were hot, they were arrogant. A lot of people don't understand that ethics and humanity are a good business strategy."
If he was taking any pleasure in this reversal of fortune, Bushnell didn't show it. "There are going to be a lot of do it your selfers in small town America who are going to be slowed down by this," he said, "because now, instead of going down to Radio Shack, they're going to have to send away for parts."
The future will just have to wait.

Not just in small town America, but pretty much everywhere. I recently needed an F-plug to Belling & Lee antenna jack converter. Neither my local Radio Shack, nor Fry's, nor any other physical store I tried in and around the LA Metro (went into two or three and phoned two or three more) had one. So, like virtually every other electronic component I buy, for myself and work, in the zero to $20 and not very bulky bracket, I ordered it on Ebay or Amazon (I forget which). Radio Shack's business model was to sell the sort of stuff that simply isn't bought in a store anymore.
Interestingly, it seems to have gone the other way in Britain. When I was growing up there was an electronic component retailer called Maplin that was purely mail order. The issued an enormous catalog, the size of a phone directory, and you ordered stuff from it by phone, fax or sending a form and check in the mail. The stuff you ordered then arrived in the mail anything from the next day to a week or two later, depending on how much you were willing to pay for delivery. They transitioned to the online model pretty easily (as you'd expect), but in the 2-3 years before I left the UK started to open up high street stores, which were pretty similar to the Tandy (as Radio Shack was called in Britain) shops they replaced. The one just up the street from my mother's house is still going strong (at least it was, when I visited last December), and furthermore was able to sell me a capacitor, for 2.50 GBP, over the counter, with which to fix her portable radio.

From A.V. Club: quote:
Godzilla-themed hotel and cinema to invade Tokyo this spring
By B.G. Henne - 24 February 2015
Usually when Godzilla arrives in Tokyo, he’s either popping in to stomp on some buildings and gnaw on some passenger trains, or to fight off other monsters while stomping on some buildings. But now the King of the Monsters is about to become a permanent resident.
In what is simply a feat of engineering and not a reckless display of mankind’s atomic hubris, Toho—the film studio behind the Godzilla franchise—is erecting a Godzilla-themed cinema set to open this spring. The new multiplex will be capped by a 39-foot bust of Godzilla bursting out of the theater, glaring menacingly out across the Shinjuku district. (The bust will be accessible by terrace.) Fully illuminated at night, the Godzilla’s eyes and mouth will glow, and will periodically emit the kaiju’s signature “SKRE-ONNNK,” but is not expected to incinerate the neighborhood with his atomic breath.
Adjacent to the theater, the new 30-story Hotel Gracery will feature a deluxe “Godzilla Room” for $334 ($417 on weekends), a price that which will put guests in close quarters with a smaller incarnation of Godzilla, along with various film memorabilia. A number of more modestly priced “Godzilla Viewing Rooms” will also be available for $125, allowing guests to fall asleep under the watchful eyes of Godzilla himself. Or not fall asleep, depending how difficult it is trying to rest a few yards away from a giant, glowing 39-foot bust that periodically shrieks in anger.
The hotel is already accepting reservations, and plans to open April 24. That means the hotel and theater will be open in time to see Toho’s new Godzilla movie in a Godzilla-themed theater before dreaming Godzilla-themed dreams in a Godzilla-themed hotel, all of which will be possible when the sequel hits theaters in 2016.

Ignorance (on several levels) is no excuse...

Teacher Jailed For Showing High School Class Violent Movie
Columbus, Ohio - A former substitute teacher convicted of showing a movie including graphic sex and violence to a high school class was sentenced on Wednesday to 90 days in jail.
Sheila Kearns, who was convicted in January of four felony counts, apologized in court, saying she hadn't watched the movie before showing it to her Spanish class at Columbus' East High School in April 2013. The movie, "The ABCs of Death" consists of 26 chapters, each depicting some form of grisly death and representing a letter of the alphabet, such as "E is for Exterminate," "O is for Orgasm" and "T is for Toilet."
Kearns, who showed the movie during five periods of the class, was convicted of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. The Columbus Dispatch ( http://bit.ly/1M7CFUc ) reported the judge placed her on probation for three years but made the jail time a condition of probation.
Kearns, 58, contended she was unaware of the movie's content. Her attorney said she never would have knowingly showed it.
But a student testified Kearns watched the 129-minute movie. The student said the movie was "disturbing" and said students in the class went "crazy" while watching it.
An assistant principal who saw the DVD movie playing in the classroom confiscated it.
Prosecutors said the movie's title should have tipped off Kearns that she should check it out before showing it to her students, who ranged in age from 14 to 18.
Jurors watched the movie, which rates 4.7 out of 10 stars on the IMDb website, before convicting Kearns. After the conviction, the jury foreman said it wasn't proved at trial that Kearns was aware of the movie's content the first time she showed it but she would have known by the second, third, fourth and fifth showings.

I'm astonished that she got jail time for this. Silly yes; indicating that she probably can't be trusted in a classroom, yes; but warranting a jail sentence?! Jail is for when you commit an offense that is so egregious that a custodial sentence is necessary to send a message, and/or violent and/or with a likelihood of reoffending such that the public need protection. Neither applies in this case, as far as I can see from the story (and incidentally, we showed this movie at a fest last September: a 14-year old who had a sheltered upbringing might be unnerved by it, but it's not going to cause anybody any lasting emotional damage. It's just too bad a movie to do that!).
On the subject of violent, serial offenders:
quote: San Bernardino Sun San Bernardino nightclub shooting: One arrest, third victim dies, 1 remains critical
Police just confirmed they’ve arrested one man suspected of murder and a man caught in a melee of gunfire between rival gangs at Stingers Bar and Nightclub early Wednesday morning has died, making him the third fatality resulting from the shooting.
The man’s name has not been released pending next-of-kin notification, according to San Bernardino Police Lt. Rich Lawhead. Police said more information will eventually be released, and in the meantime detectives are aggressively working the case.
Police said details about the arrest will be released later today.
The shooting that killed Petetrial Michael Scott and Jerry Jamale Jackson, both of San Bernardino, was a clash between rival gangs, police said in a statement.
“This event is tragic and disturbing,” the police statement said, noting two of the wounded remained in critical condition Wednesday night. The three others had been treated and released from a hospital.
Late Tuesday, gang members weren’t allowed into Stringers Bar and Nightclub because members of a rival gang were inside, police said, citing witness statements. The people who were denied access loitered in the parking lot until officers arrived and asked them to leave, according to police.
Hours later, as people were leaving the club at 1:36 a.m., security called police because the banished gang members had returned to the south side establishment.
Eleven minutes later shots rang out.
At the time, there were 150 to 200 people in the club’s parking lot, at 194 Club Center Drive, said police spokesman Lt. Rich Lawhead. People started running, and several cars collided.
Soon after, another shooting was reported down the street, at the Arco AM/PM gas station on Waterman Avenue, just south of the 10 Freeway. A white, four-door sedan was seen at both locations.
As of Thursday morning, no other suspects have been arrested.
That nightclub and gas station are about 300 yards from our house. The gas station is usually where I fill up on my way back from work, and in fact did so about half an hour before the gunfight happened!
Although those two blocks aren't exactly the nicest part of town (they are separated by a railroad from the border with Loma Linda and our development, which straddles it, and are literally on the wrong side of the tracks), this is the first time since my wife first moved to the area in 2009 that anything like this has happened. I used to fill up on the way home in the middle of the night to avoid having to wait for a pump, but I think I'll live with the wait from now on!
It would have been nice if the sheriffs had gone around town relieving these idiots of their illegally held weapons before they had the chance to perpetrate Tuesday evening's fracas with them, and even nicer for the relatives of the dead and injured.

Near the end of 2012, major movie studios phased out the production of film, effectively plunging a knife into the neck of the only medium movie theatres had ever known. If you weren’t reading the right news, talking to the right people, or paying close enough attention to your theatre’s screen resolution, you may not have noticed. Among those who did notice: cinephiles, projectionists, perfectionists, gear heads, and Victor Liorentas (a blend of all of the above). Victor is the projectionist at London’s own Hyland Cinema, and the changes of the past few years have had a large impact on his life.
Victor has been drawn to projecting since a young age. “I was just always fascinated with movies, with theatres, as far back as I can remember. At certain theatres then, you could look back and see the projector and big reels spinning. I thought, ‘That’s a good job. That’s what I want to do.’ And that never really changed.” At 15 years old, Victor spent a year building a theatre in his basement complete with 35mm projection, sound, and a projectionist’s booth. “No one could believe it. That was in the days just before VHS got going, so it was still really cool to see anything theatrical in a house.” Unfortunately, when Victor was old enough, there were no projectionist positions available. To make a living, he began traveling North America, visiting carnivals and fairs as a worker on the double ferris wheel, which he brought to the Western Fair four years in a row. “But then I really did burn out on it. It was then that I decided to go all the way with becoming a projectionist.
“There were openings, so I apprenticed for a year, and my first actual job as a projectionist was at the New Yorker Cinema downtown (which is now gone). It was kind of like the Hyland: a repertory cinema showing art films, foreign flicks, and the classics.” The New Yorker closed in 1998, but by then Victor had already become a relief projectionist for all the theatres in town, including some gigs in Sarnia, Kitchener, and St. Thomas. “I had a really good reputation because they could send me anywhere and know that I was dependable and could work any equipment.”
In 2004, the Hyland entered the picture. It was built in 1933, and opened as the Elmwood. That changed in the mid ‘50s, when Odeon bought the theatre and renamed it the Hyland. Cineplex’s purchase of Odeon and the Hyland in the ‘80s couldn’t save the small, single screen theatre from multiplex behemoths, and the Hyland closed in 1989. When Moira and Ali Adlan reopened the theatre, Victor was made their head projectionist, and has been bringing you London’s finest moving pictures ever since. Ali books the films, with some help from Victor when it comes to the classics.
Screening movies means the world to Victor, but with digital projection, the role of a projectionist often feels superfluous. “Shows will start on their own, so long as the power is on. I program in all the trailers, as well as cues to activate lights and curtains. Digital pretty much has to be automated, because that way a projectionist isn’t really needed there. Once a movie’s programmed, I’m basically downstairs making popcorn with the other staff.” Keeping all that in mind, what do the changes of 2012 mean to Victor?
“It’s crushed me. I’m getting used to it now that it’s been over two years. I don’t have any other work at any other theatres, where I used to have more than I could stand.” Victor still loves film though, constantly digging into his own pockets to purchase the best lenses for film projection, as well as prints of movies that he screens at the monthly RetroMania. “It’s my pride and joy. I’ve upgraded to the best lenses ever made. I’ve got better lenses than they’ve ever had in this city.”
In the opinion of Victor, and many cinephiles, the standards of excellent film projection have not been carried over into the digital age. “Film, with TLC, can look so fantastical, magical, rich, and gorgeous that it’s like eye candy. Digital appears to be perfect and sharp, but that sharpness is just coming off of resolution. It’s tricking your eyes, because all you’re seeing is pixel sharpness. A film image, while it may have flaws, has so much more detail and depth to it. Digital projection as it is is just HDTV like at home, with a few more pixels and slightly better processing. On a big screen you can see pixels all over the place if you look.”
Victor isn’t an old fart who hates progress, if that’s the impression being given. “I’m not against digital. I just wish we had waited a little longer until we had higher resolutions and better projectors. Then we could replace film with something that’s an actual improvement.” One of the reasons for this quality deficiency is the large initial cost of digital projectors. “The projector, the sound equipment, the server, and everything that went with it all came to about $100,000. Moira and Ali got a loan for that, and we’re still paying it off almost two and a half years later. It’s a huge expense, and we’re not making one penny more than we were before the digital projector.” With all the cash sunk into the initial costs, very few theatres have been able to do what’s necessary to upgrade their projectors to even meet the quality they had prior to digital.
As film’s reign recedes into the past, Victor still has hope for working in projection. On the one hand, he’s attempting to cater to the digital market, learning the ins and outs of being a technician for digital projectors. On the other, he has hope that film could still make a vinyl-esque resurgence. “Quentin Tarantino is shooting his new movie, The Hateful Eight, in 70mm, and he plans to get at least 100 theatres equipped to show this format he’s using.” Along with Tarantino, directors Paul Thomas Anderson and Christopher Nolan have insisted on shooting their movies on film. Most promising of all is Tarantino’s own New Beverly Cinema, which has promised to project in 35mm for as long as he is alive and rich. Either way, after speaking with Victor, it’s hard to imagine a future in which he isn’t a passionate, dedicated part of cinema locally.
