'Even as a convicted murderer, Judy Moran put on a show for the cameras.

With a smile and a wave to the assembled media, the gangland widow known for her blow-waved tresses and flamboyant dress headed off to jail on Wednesday for orchestrating her brother-in-law's execution.

Earlier, she looked down, her face reddened and she clasped a tissue in her hands as a Victorian Supreme Court jury declared it had found her guilty of murdering Des "Tuppence" Moran.

She pursed her red lips and appeared stony-faced in a courtroom packed with lawyers and journalists.

At 66, Moran, who has already buried two husbands and two sons to gangland murders, may now spend the rest of her days behind bars for killing off another Moran.'

'ORLANDO -- Orange County Sheriff's deputies say a couple beat a 3-year-old child to death because he peed his pants.

Robin Greinke, 26, and Steven Neil, 33, were arrested Thursday night on charges of child abuse, first-degree murder and child neglect.

Investigators said on Feb. 28 the couple punched and struck the boy for more than an hour after he urinated on himself.

"They were upset with him and they tossed him and spanked him and punched him," said Chris Dillon, a homicide investigator.

After the attack subsided, deputies said Neil and Greinke then ordered pizza and watched a movie.

It wasn't until around 5 a.m. on March 1 that the couple called 911. Greinke told investigators she made the call because her son was wheezing and she couldn't sleep.'

This flyer is being distributed to all Senators and Representatives on Capitol Hill. The flyer explains why mandatory arrest is a bad idea, and how Congress can save $26 million from domestic violence programs.

Feel free to distribute – and to adopt for use at the state level, as well.

A new shed will do them good. Link to media release here. Excerpt:

'Older and disadvantaged men in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia will soon have more help to meet and find social support with Australian Government Grants for Men’s Sheds.

New sheds will be established in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales with another 16 established Men’s Sheds around the country to receive a grant to assist them to develop and upgrade their workspaces and buy equipment and tools or to employ staff help manage a shed’s operation (see table attached).

Minister for Indigenous Health, Warren Snowdon, said Men’s Sheds play an important role by providing meeting places for men to stay connected within the community, while helping their physical and mental wellbeing.

“Based on the traditional backyard shed, Men’s Sheds provide a relaxed place for men to meet and continue a hobby, learn new skills, or just pop in for a chat and a cuppa,” Mr Snowdon said.

'Recently, a former armed robber offered to show me how teenage girls are moving in on the drugs market.

As we stood on a city street corner, he dialled a number and asked the person who replied if they had ‘a little ting’ for him — street slang for a parcel of drugs.

Within minutes, a slim and pretty girl, aged no more than 15, had appeared at our side.
...

He admitted he was astonished — even envious — of the ‘success’ girls like this were enjoying as drug dealers on his estate.

‘They’ve got money on them all the time. They always dress sharp. They may be only 14 or 15, but they never wear the same trainers more than two days in a row.’

Remember Sen. Harry Reid’s wacko-bizarro comment last year about unemployed men – but not unemployed women – being abusers? Well, Mr. Reid is at it again…

On Tuesday, Sen. Reid released a statement for Women’s History Month. First he talks about ensuring that women are “treated equally to men.”

Then in the very next paragraph, he talks about renewing VAWA “which has helped millions of women affected by violence.” Nothing about abused men being “treated equally to women.”

Mr. Reid needs to hear from a couple thousand upset Americans. And if you want to make three, or four, or five calls to his office, that’s perfectly fine. Here’s his phone number: 202-224-3542. Tell him VAWA is also supposed to help the millions of men affected by violence.

Senator Reid Releases Statement on Women's History Month

March 1, 2011

Washington, D.C.—Nevada Senator Harry Reid today made the following statement recognizing Women’s History Month:

Article here. Excerpt:

'But the White House, in thrall perhaps to ultra-feminists, opened its discussion of women's pay by using a sensational headline-grabbing comparison, 75 cents on the dollar, and it did capture many of the headlines.
...
Since full time means 35 or more hours a week, the table compares men who work 50 hours with women who work 37.

And women do work less than men. The report states on page 27 that "women of every educational level and at every age spend fewer weeks in the labor force a year than do men." In addition, "on the days that they worked, employed married women age 25-54 spent less time in labor market work and work related activities than did employed married men in the same age group-7 hours and 40 minutes, compared to about 8 hours and 50 minutes."'

'UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- State police said a Fayette County woman made up a report that she was bound with a dog collar, cut with a razor, beaten and raped last month.

Trooper Heather Clem of Uniontown said Leah Dawn Saluga, 30, has entered an unspecified treatment program and will be charged with making a false report to police on Feb. 20.

Police said Saluga claimed she was raped by a man dressed in women's clothes who was walking his dog in a wooded section of Luzerne Township.'

'TORONTO — The Court of Appeal for Ontario has ruled that mothers who kill their babies may use an infanticide defence and cut time off their sentence.

The court ruled Wednesday that a woman can be charged with infanticide even if there is evidence of murder.

"If the Crown proves that the accused committed a culpable homicide, the jury must then decide the nature of the culpable homicide. The jury should be told to consider infanticide first," the ruling says.

"If the Crown fails to negate at least one of the elements of infanticide beyond a reasonable doubt, the jury should be instructed to return a verdict of not guilty of murder, but guilty of infanticide."'

Article here. Excerpt:

'During the interview with Guthrie I shared that I am underwhelmed by government reports like this. Too often studies about women are produced under the assumption that women are a victim class in need of extra attention from government, including special reports. While the White House study touched on the fact that women are healthier, more educated and have more choices today than ever before, the real “story” — and the reason NBC devoted the lead segment of the nightly news to the report — was to discuss inequalities that still exist between men and women.

Let me start by busting the myth of the wage gap, which states that women earn 76 cents on the dollar for doing the same job as a man. Let’s be clear — even the American Association of University of Women and the Department of Labor have acknowledged that if you look beyond the raw data, and control for variables such as education, time taken off from the workplace, and career choices, the wage gap largely disappears.'
