Do Not Knock Massachusetts Bill Going to Vote Today

Do Not Knock list proposed by Massacusetts lawmakers here to push for a bill that would allow residents to sign up for a do-not-knock list keeping solicitors off their property.

The legislation also would require background checks on sales crews.

Representative Cleon Turner of Yarmouth says the bill is intended to make people feel safer and less vulnerable to the aggressive tactics of some door to door solicitors.

In cities and towns that vote to adopt the proposal, police departments would maintain the resident database, as well as a list of door-to-door sellers. The bill would exempt political activists, religious organizations and nonprofits such as Boy Scouts.

Under the bill, sales crews who don’t register with police departments would face fines of up to $5,000. A special provision to protect senior citizens, who Turner says are particularly vulnerable to intimidation, says a salesman who solicits on the property of a person 65 or older on the list cannot be fined less than $1,500.

A spokeswoman at the Massachusetts chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union wasn’t able to immediately comment as she had not seen the proposed legislation.

World’s Largest Yellow Jacket Bee

OK so I’m sitting at my desk today trying to figure out somehow to get some interviews and get a web deisgn job. If only something would just show itself and I would recognize it as my big opportunity and take advantage of it.

So then while working at my desk in the basement rewriting my resume I hear this loud buzzing flying around me in the dark. With only a desk lamp on I turn on more lights to see what it is. Almost sounded like a hummingbird but more like a bee flying around. When I turned the light on this is what I saw:

GPS Ankle Bracelet

GPS tracking allows authorities to keep closer tabs on offenders

GPS Ankle BraceletGPS Ankle Bracelet Plugged into a phone outlet in Joe Magno‘s ranch home on Rock Avenue in Hudson is a black box.
And strapped around the former high school teacher’s ankle is a rubber and metal bracelet. If he so much as steps outside for fresh air, dunks the bracelet or tries to cut it off, the radio connection between the two is broken, an alarm rings in a field monitoring office staffed 24 hours a day in government center in Boston.
Magno is one of more than 600 people in the state assigned a radio frequency electronic monitoring bracelet. The 65-year-old is awaiting trial on charges he raped a male student at Maynard High School and is back in Middlesex Superior Court tomorrow for a pre-trial conference.
With more bracelets in use nearly every year, are they working? Are more people destined to be fitted with the newest GPS bracelets, now reserved for about 100 sex offenders?

Of 8,300 people who have been strapped with the bracelet, only 8 percent, about 700, have tried to break it off, according to Deputy Commissioner of Probation Paul Lucci. One of them was Hudson wedding photographer Gary Tobin, who cut off his bracelet and fled to New Hampshire while awaiting trial on charges he robbed a pizzeria with a machete in 2004.

“Choose Life” License Plates to Support Adoption in Massachusetts

A Wakefield woman is spearheading efforts to bring a specialty license plate to Massachusetts that encourages adoption over abortion, even though similar plates in other states have brought legal challenges.

Merry Nordeen, who opposes abortion, is gathering support for a “Choose Life” license plate, part of a nationwide effort by abortion opponents to raise money for groups that support adoption.

She recently started an Internet campaign to collect $40 checks from 3,000 people who are interested in the plates. If she gathers enough support, she can bring her proposal to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

The plate design Nordeen proposes is yellow, with the words “Choose Life” written in a child’s writing and with childlike drawings of a young boy and girl. Continue reading

Opie and Anthony to Replace David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth‘s run as morning radio host is about done. Big surprise: It appears raunchy satellite radio stars Opie and Anthony will replace him on seven CBS Radio stations.

A deal was in the works to dump the ex-Van Halen singer’s ratings-deprived program with shock jocks Greg “Opie” Hughes and Anthony Cumia, according to two people with knowledge of the deal. They spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity pending an official announcement of the agreement next week.

Opie and Anthony were banished from terrestrial radio in 2002 oddly enough by their new boss, CBS Radio after airing a live account of listeners having sex in New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. CBS Radio was then known as Infinity Broadcasting. Continue reading

Ice Age Movie – NOT for Kids

Ice Age 2Ice Age: The Meltdown is a pure sequel product that should make children and undemanding grown-ups happy even as it lacks anything resembling storytelling inspiration. Atleast for kids over about 6 years old. Anyone inclined to take the longer view may scratch his head and wonder why a kiddie movie is the only place our culture is willing to talk about global warming.

Ice Age. Yep, meteorological apocalypse is the dramatic engine of ”Meltdown” (are you ready for your Happy Meal?). The glaciers are retreating, oceans are breaking out everywhere, and all the baroque Pleistocene critters are rushing for the safety of a giant tree trunk ”ark” before a massive ice dam bursts and floods their valley.

Amid the glyptodonts, aurochs, and giant anteaters are a few familiar faces: Manny the mammoth (voice of Ray Romano), Sid the giant sloth (John Leguizamo), and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary). These three form their own pack, although Manny is mad over the fact that he’s probably the last of his kind. Continue reading

Peter Manfredo Jr Defeats Scott Pemberton in 3 Rounds

After two disappointing losses to Sergio Mora in 2005, Peter Manfredo, 25-3 (11), has greatly improved his standing with this, his biggest victory to date. For Scott Pemberton, 29-5-1 (25), the curtain may be closing on what had been a magnificent late period career, as this comes hard after a similarly one sided handling at the hands of IBF Champion Jeff Lacy last fall.

Round one: the first begins with both fighters bolting to the center of the ring a! nd pawing at each other with jabs. The size difference between Pemberton and Manfredo is apparent from the beginning, with Pemberton being the bigger of the two. Manfredo is the first to follow up on his jab with an overhand right that lands to the side of Pemberton’s head. Manfredo follows that momentum with another jab, followed by a right hook that finds it’s target. Manfredo is pushing the pace of the fight so far and has proved able to get inside and land his straight right. With twenty seconds left in the round, Manfredo lands another straight right hand that sends Pemberton stumbling back to the ropes. Manfredo lands one more right hand in the closing seconds in what was a dominant round for Manfredo. Continue reading

Richard Mullen of Malden Arrested at Boston Children’s Hospital

Richard Mullen, 52, of Malden, was arrested on suspicion of trespassing at Boston Children’s Hospital on Sunday.

A man who allegedly dressed up like Santa Claus and dropped his pants at a New Hampshire mall last year faced charges on Monday after he was caught trespassing over the weekend at a Boston hospital.

Mullen, who was a volunteer at the hospital for 11 years, was in the infant intensive care unit.

When police arrested Mullen, they found a bag containing a red balloon and several wrapped condoms in his possession.”Mr. Mullen acknowledged that he knew that he was not supposed to be in the hospital. He acknowledged receiving that trespass order,” prosecutor Jonathan Tynes said. “He explained to the officers that he was there visiting a friend who volunteers at the hospital. He was there, he stated, to help (his friend) volunteer. He was found to have a visitor’s pass with that person’s last name written on it.” Continue reading

Maynard High School Joseph Magno Arrested for Crimes Against a Student

Joseph Magno’s reputation was legendary. A teacher of Maynard High School for 42 years and a faculty adviser for the Maynard High School WAVM, the student radio and television station, he had taught generations of residents from the police chief to the parents pushing strollers on Nason Street to the latest crop of Maynard High School students.

Many adored him this high school teacher.

Yesterday, Maynard police held high school teacher Joseph Magno, a Hudson resident, on $250,000 bail. Today, he is to be arraigned in Concord District Court on charges of rape of a child, indecent assault and battery of a child under the age of 14, and indecent assault and battery of a child over the age of 14. The charges stem from the same alleged high school victim, police said.

Known affectionately as Mags, he took Maynard High School students to the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania one year, ran Beacon Santa, a Christmas time telethon to raise money for the poor, and helped raise money and build a skate park for the town’s teenagers. But the revelation that Joseph Magno, 65, has been charged with raping a male high school student has left town residents and officials trying to reconcile the Joseph Magno they knew and the man police are describing as a criminal.

Since Joseph Magno was arrested at the high school WAVM offices on Friday night, police say, several more people have come forward with allegations of abuse against him, leveling charges that have ripped apart the trust and intimacy that bind this close-knit community.

“When I was there, he was a good man, an excellent teacher, and I have no reason to think otherwise,” said Erik Pekkala, 20 a former Maynard high school student, who was fighting tears yesterday.

A 2004 graduate of Maynard High School and former general manager of WAVM, Pekkala spoke after listening to police detail the charges against his former teacher at a news conference in the town municipal building.

Police said they decided to charge Magno after the student, who has since left the high school, came forward Thursday night and said Joseph Magno had abused him over a three-year period, at least once inside Maynard high school.

On Friday night, Police Chief James Corcoran drove to the WAVM offices at Maynard high school to arrest the man who had been his teacher decades ago. Magno, who friends said is not married, was at a restaurant with several students, but when he returned to WAVM the chief took him into a side room and arrested him.

“I’m trying to keep my personal feelings out and just go off the facts of the case,” Corcoran told reporters yesterday. “I’ve known Mr. Magno for 36 years.”

David Lee Roth is to Radio, as George Bush is to America

I am a lifelong Howard Stern fan. I have my Sirius radio and I am ready to go. Stern starts on Monday so I decided to check out his replacement, the infamous David Lee Roth.

David is the ex-singer for the rock band Van Halen. Those of you who are childern of the 70s know David as the wild, womanizing front man who helped make Van Halen one of the biggest rock bands of that time. As time went on, David left the band and went on to a modestly successful solo career but nothing near the heights of fame brought to him by VH.

In 2006, Dave is kinder and gentler and has less hair. He is now an EMT/Helicopter pilot and in my opinion, not the man to be sitting in Howard Stern’s radio chair.

So what it the verdict?

Well, it’s not as bad as I expected but hardly listenable. Dave does not come off as the wild and crazy rock star he has been portrayed as. He is more like your crazy old uncle who still whistles at the young girls walking by. The best thing that Dave has going for him is that he is a likable guy. He is not trying to imitate Howard and frankly, I would rather listen to him than all of the other ASSHOLES that litter the radio. I’ll give you that David Lee Roth.

The downside is that, and I don’t know how to say this nicely, Dave switches subjects so fast that most of the time I have no idea what he is talking about. He sounds like a man babbling about everything pops into his head in order to fill up 4 hours.

When does Howard Stern start on Sirius?

Howard Stern’s WILD Promotion Campaign

Howard Stern and Sirius are on a PR roller-coaster trying to get the word out that in January Stern will be exclusively on Sirius.

On TV, you’ll see Stern interviewed by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and making a cameo on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. In print, you can read major pieces in Newsweek, Esquire and New York magazine.

The article in the Billboard Radio Monitor quotes the New York Magazine saying that XM had been eyeing Stern all along.

XM Satellite Radio CEO Hugh Panero was “prepared to pay Howard close to $30 million a year.” Panero called the price tag on Stern’s $500 million-five year Sirius deal “shocking.”

Bridge Ratings & Research has been tracking interest in subscriptions to satellite radio by listeners of the Howard Stern Show since the fall of 2004, and now the Glendale, California-based ratings and research company has put forth its first round of projected subscribers.

The company has been surveying 3,000 listeners in Stern markets Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Syracuse, Baltimore and Detroit to determine their interest in subscribing to the service due to Howard’s January 6 2006 exodus to Sirius.

Madden 2006 is selling. XBox360 is NOT

The shortage is very real, and it has plenty of people angry and frustrated. At one of two Circuit City stores that I visited, there were two separate lines, one for people who had shown up before the store even opened and were given “vouchers,” and another for the voucher-less people hoping that someone backed out of the deal. I got in the second line to gauge people’s hopes and expectations. The result? The overwhelming majority of people in line were actually people who had pre-ordered units from other stores, most notably Gamestop and Electronics Boutique. One individual, Dennis, had two pre-orders, and was still in the (hopeless) line. Why? It’s a common story: Dennis got a call from his pre-order stores. “Sorry,” they said, “but we cannot fill your order, and will not be able to do so until after Christmas.” Dennis claims that he placed both of his orders in July.

Visiting Best Buy, I thought I’d survey the damage. In short, the Saugus Best Buy north of Boston looks like a bomb went off. You can see where the chaos went down last night. There’s accessory racks that look like they were hit by one of those “grab as much as you can in 60 seconds” shopping cart gimmicks. The Xbox 360s were, of course, long gone. There were plenty of parents at Best Buy, a notable contrast to Circuit City, which was younger in orientation. The parents were leaving the store with sad looks on their faces. This is because one employee actually said that they do not expect to receive another major shipment of Xbox 360s until February of 2006.

Teacher Quits After School Finds Her Sex Blog

A Mansfield elementary school teacher resigned after school officials found she used her class computer to access a personal Web log chronicling sexual exploits and containing disparaging remarks about her students.

Becky Pelfrey, 38, had worked for the Mansfield district for three years and had spent seven years working for Arlington schools.

Her log featured links to sexually-oriented Web sites and comments about her students, including a reference to them as “stinky kids.”

School district spokesman Terry Morawski said the district has not sought to file criminal charges and he is not certain that Pelfrey committed a crime.

Officials were alerted to the situation by an anonymous letter dated Sept. 22.

Pelfrey’s husband, Bill Pelfrey, claimed the letter was written by his ex-wife and Becky Pelfrey’s former best friend, Tanya Hanna. The families are involved in a custody dispute.

Hanna denied the claim.

Untreated Sewage Dumped Into Quincy Bay

About 25 million gallons of untreated sewage emptied into Quincy Bay late Saturday after a transformer accident in South Boston triggered a massive power outage at the Deer Island Sewage Treatment Plant.

The plant was operating at full capacity to handle the heavy rainfall throughout the region when it lost its power shortly after 5 p.m. The plant’s emergency backup power was quickly activated, but the station took several hours to resume peak operations.

The station had been treating 1.2 billion gallons of wastewater daily, three times its usual rate, for the past several days.
