'A woman who has maintained that she killed her husband out of self-defense is now suing his former employer for survivor's benefits through his retirement plan.

56-year-old Fayette Nale, who was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 2007 stabbing death of her husband, is serving a 3-15 year prison sentence. Nale had testified that she suffered months of physical and sexual abuse before a fight when she accidentally stabbed him.

Now Nale, who suffers from lupus and uses a wheelchair after injuries from a 1988 car accident, is suing Ford Motor Co. for her late husband's pension.

Nale has filed federal suit, claiming that her conviction "is not considered an intentional causing of death such that she should be denied survivor benefits," Courthouse News Service reports. She was acquitted of homicide when her original charge of second-degree murder was reduced to voluntary manslaughter.'

'NEWARK — A Licking County Municipal Court judge set bail at $2,500 for a woman who allegedly kicked a Newark police officer in the face Tuesday night.

Deanna R. Sherrard, 25, last known address 388 S. Executive Drive, was charged with one count of assault on a police officer, a fourth-degree felony, for kicking Newark Police Sgt. John Brnjic during her arrest.

Newark police officers arrived at a Circle K at South Fifth Street and National Drive at about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday where they tried to calm Sherrard, who was allegedly screaming profanities at the top of her lungs, according to a Newark police report.

Police reported she allegedly smelled of alcohol and threatened to kill her husband. After her alleged threats, police arrested her for menacing.'

'Men: 99 percent of gender violence and domestic abuse incidents are perpetrated by men. Therefore, this is a man's issue, not an issue where women put themselves into harm's way. Men need to change their attitude toward women so that violence and abuse is not ever seen as an alternative action.

Clearly, the vast majority of men are not perpetrators of violence but we are part of a culture that accepts violence as inevitable and that some men abuse women. In violence prevention the focus must be on men because it is men that teach other men and boys how to be men in ways that do not involve abusing and degrading women.'

'Companies should rather employ more women and make them progress in the company. It is what asserts a research work led by Michel Ferrary, professor in Ceram (College of business to Nice-Sophia Antipolis), from a sample of forty two big companies. This study demonstrates that those who employ more than 35 % of women see their turnover progressing more than the others (of upper 28,5 %). These companies are also more profitable (with an upper rate of 116,1 %), have a better productivity (48,6 %) and create more jobs(uses) (72,9 %). It's the same for those whose supervisory staff is more than feminine 35 %.

Previous studies on the influence of the rate of feminization on the economic performances of companies had ended in contradictory results, recognizes the author. Doubtless because - a social group has to reach a critical size to really influence the functioning of an organization, change the nature of the interactions and modify the dynamics of the group, - explains the sociologist.'

'Last September, if you had asked Nehemiah Wimbish what he thought of reading, chances are he would have rated it down there with doing math and eating tomatoes. Yuck, yuck, and nasty.

So how could it be that the same boy and several sixth-grade pals were making the rounds at their Glassboro middle school last week, touting the joys of the written word to other boys like themselves?

"We got inspired by seeing people read," Nehemiah, 11, told one fourth-grade class. "We want to encourage young men like y'all to do well."'

'It has, of course, been touted by the likes of John Waters that the Irish man has become so dominated by women, and his role so eroded, that he is suffering from some sort of post-feminism depression. But factually young males in the western world are probably the least oppressed human beings on the planet, and indeed man is instinctively a competitive animal, so it's ludicrous to think that some small advances by women in the workplace and on the domestic front are likely to unhinge the average male. It is, however, true to say that men tend to define themselves more by their role while women tend to define themselves more by their relationships, so some men may be very sensitive to any challenge to their position.

'Des Moines County Sheriff's detectives on Wednesday have arrested a Yarmouth teen on accusations she had sexual contact with two Mediapolis boys.

Kourtney Joy Babcock, 19, is in jail charged with three counts of third-degree sexual abuse. Each of the counts carry a potential penalty of 10 years in prison upon conviction along with other special sentencing guidelines such as lifetime supervision and sex offender registry requirements.

Authorities said the arrest stemmed from an investigation that started in July. Detectives said their office received a report that Babcock had sexual contact with two 12-year-old boys inside a home in Mediapolis.

Detectives allege Babcock "had performed multiple sex acts" with the two boys.'

'A San Tan Valley woman has been charged with child abuse after deputies found her 14-month-old son so malnourished he couldn't hold up his head.

The mother, Rhandi Brown, 22, is free on bail after her Sept. 14 arrest.

According to Lt. Tamatha Villar, Pinal County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, deputies discovered the baby when they responded on a domestic violence call to the home the woman shares with the child's father.

Brown allegedly stabbed the child's father Dec. 18, and she is charged with aggravated assault in that case.

Villar said the boy weighed only 13 pounds. Deputies at the scene described his arms and legs as "stick skinny," and he couldn't hold up his head.

His diaper was so soiled that the smell of urine was overwhelming.'

'COMPTON, Calif.—Two Los Angeles women accused of burning, starving and beating the 5-year-old son of one of the women have pleaded no contest to causing corporal injury to a child.

The boy's mother, Starkeisha Brown, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after entering the plea on Friday. Her live-in girlfriend Krystal Matthews received a 14-year term.

The two would have faced 25 years to life in prison if convicted. They avoided trial by pleading no contest, and prosecutors said the boy won't have to testify.

The boy was found ill and in the care of a homeless stranger outside a county child services office in Compton in 2008.'

'Now we turn from the mostly meaningless college gap to the mostly nonexistent wage gap. It is quoted ad-nauseum that women make 75 cents for each dollar a man makes for the exact same work (it used to be 59 cents, now it ranges from 75 to 80). In response to this, Nancy Pelosi helped push through congress the Fair Pay Act. Furthermore, April 20th, 2010 not only represents a day we should all get stoned out of our gourds, it’s “Equal Pay Day.” This holiday (of sorts) symbolizes how far into 2010 a woman would have to work to make what a man makes in 2009 alone. Obviously this is a sign of discrimination; as Jessica Valenti, founder of Feministing.com, states rather bluntly, “the wage gap is like a big f*ck you to women.”

'What started as a "man-cession" is turning into a "Great He-pression."

The unemployment rate for men is running 2.7 percentage points higher than for women -- a "just unprecedented" spread, according to economist Mark Perry at the University of Michigan at Flint.

One obvious reason: The downturn has hammered manufacturing, construction and other male-dominated sectors, while going easier on female-heavy fields such as health care and education.

But a less-appreciated factor could make an even bigger difference in the long run.

For years now, women have been earning the most college degrees. That trend is accelerating, leaving experts to wonder if men are somehow missing the latest economic wake-up call.'

'A Dec. 14 trial date has been set for a Thurmont woman who recanted rape allegations after the man she accused had spent two months in jail.

Samantha Carter-drabczyk, 29, faces three counts of making a false statement to police, a crime punishable by as much as six months in jail and a $500 fine for each conviction.

On Friday in Frederick County Circuit Court, Assistant Public Defender Matthew J. Frawley asked Judge Theresa M. Adams to have a prosecutor from another county assigned to the case.
...
She recanted her allegations in a meeting with four people: Angel, Littleton, Moffatt and Cpl. Jason West, a sheriff's office detective who later obtained the criminal charges based on Carter-drabczyk's March 16 statements, according to court testimony.'

'PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh police say a 15-year-old girl made up a story that she was forced by two men into a van then driven to a wooded location where one of the men raped her.

The girl claimed the incident happened just before noon Tuesday in the city's Carrick section, as she got off a bus and was walking toward Carrick High School.

But in a news release Wednesday, police say the girl had argued with her parents earlier that day and fabricated the report to keep from being punished.

Police and the Allegheny County District Attorney are discussing whether to charge the girl with making a false report to police, but no charges were filed immediately.'

'The ugly face of female oppression is all around us. But the source might surprise you. Females are favored on college campuses for scholarships and sports, so it's not educational opportunity that we lack. In fact, female co-eds now dominate universities in both numbers and in special programs available to them.

With plenty of government grants for businesses run by women, we've got advantages there, too. And innumerable labor laws protect women in the work force from discrimination.

It's obviously not the modern American male that is oppressing women. A growing majority of men are so careful not to offend that many of them don't even open doors or compliment women anymore. Many men are scared to treat women like ladies - let alone deny them opportunity - for fear that the bitter voice of feminism will rise up and call them bigots.'

This is a great story. I came across your website and wanted to share this. Please check the link and story out. Who more to help this innocent man then you.

I’m afraid you may be unaware of a great injustice currently happening in Bend, Oregon. Local prosecutor Jody Vaughan is currently pursuing false rape charges against a local man. Her tactics are less than ethical and has built “evidence” she knows to be based on lies.The evidence against the alleged “victim”, proving SHE is a repeat liar and crier of wolf is incredible and hard to overlook; unfortunately that is exactly what the Deschutes County District Attorney’s office is doing.

As a woman, a mother and a victim of rape and sexual assault, it is extremely important to me for a woman to feel safe to report sexual abuse of any kind. I know firsthand the personal power that is regained when looking an offender in the eye and sending them to prison.
