There still have been no breaks in the investigation of the murder of Young Hee Lim-Ferlazzo, who was found dead Oct. 25 in her Willowyck apartment with multiple stab wounds to her upper body.
“It’s still an active investigation with the District Attorney’s Office,” said Upper Gwynedd Township Police Chief David Duffy.
Lim-Ferlazzo, 39, was found dead late in the evening of Oct. 25. Police said Lim-Ferlazzo’s death was reported to police by her husband, Joseph A. Ferlazzo Sr., who was interviewed the next morning.
Duffy said that the husband is not in custody and has cooperated with police. He is not labeled as a person of interest.
The murder remains a top priority for both agencies, Duffy said.
Duffy wouldn’t speculate on if the murder had a connection to Lim-Ferlazzo and her husband’s involvement in an Asian massage parlor business in Reading.

With the Phillies in the World Series, it was one hot ticket — and some people would do anything to go to a game. Police say one Philadelphia woman took that literally:
“She told the officers that she would engage in sexual activity with two individuals for two tickets.”
Bensalem public safety director Fred Harran after his undercover cops nabbed 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein. 
She’d described herself in a Craigslist ad as a tall, buxom blonde in desperate need of seats — not that desperate, she says:
“I am an upstanding citizen. I’m like a benefit to the community.”
What she says she meant by her offer:
“Seriously — that could mean, like, I’ll paint your house. I mean, I’m creative, right?”
Finkelstein got the tickets she wanted — thanks to a radio station — but also got a court date on prostitution charges set for early next year, and lost her job.

… The facts are otherwise. They also suggest that Duke University’s ugly abuse in 2006 and 2007 of its now-exonerated lacrosse players — white males accused by a black stripper and hounded by a mob hewing to political correctness — reflects a disregard of due process and a bias against white males that infect much of academia.”
…
“This ad stopped just short of explicitly branding the lacrosse players as rapists. But it treated almost as a given the truth of the stripper’s claims of a brutal gang rape by three team members amid a hail of racist slurs. It praised protesters who had put lacrosse players’ photos on ‘wanted’ posters. It associated ‘what happened to this young woman’ with ‘racism and sexism.’ It suggested that the lacrosse players were getting privileged treatment because they are white — which was the opposite of the truth.
“And in January 2007, after the fraudulence of the stripper’s rape claim and of rogue Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong’s indictments of three players had become increasingly evident, most of the 88 also signed a letter rejecting calls for apologies while denying that their April 2006 ad had meant what it seemed to say.”

The second quarter bumbles to a close, with Philly unable to secure a rebound and Portland unable to score. We wind up at 49 – 43. There’s a unicycle on-court, and I’m hoping it’s the asian lady with the bowls, but it’s “Roberto the Magnificent.” We’ll see how he does.
HALFTIME
Roberto sports a Blazer jersey with his name on it. I wonder if he has one for each city he visits? And is the number 3 supposed to balance him between Blazerdom and Allen Iverson fanage? Hard to say, but his soundtrack is a pretty strange mix of the dramatic (theme from 2001) and swingin’ jazz. He’s currently balancing on a board that’s on a roller, spinning a saw on his hardhat and juggling hammers. But I keep thinking he’ll start stripping at any moment. Just seems like a stripper to me. Like a cross between a New York Doll and a Chippendale dancer.

What is important to me is that around 2000 years ago, a man named Jesus was born.  According to my faith, he was divine.  If you don’t agree, that’s OK.  If you believe something else, that’s OK.  If you believe in nothing, that’s OK too.  Believing in nothing requires the strongest faith of all.
I’d like you to consider a few things about Jesus’ life that make him special.  First he was a revolutionary.He taught that love trumps power.  He taught that wealth is a hindrance, not a blessing, and had far more concern for the poor than for the rich.  He honored the people in his society who were the most despised: lepers, tax collectors, and prostitutes for example.  He never called for war.  He never condemned people for shortcomings in their lives.    He tolerated all except the intolerant, the religious hypocrites, the Pharisees and Sadducees, the religious right of his day.  He condemned them for meddling in people’s daily lives, trying to control people with piety codes, and pretending to he righteous, when they were just as flawed as anyone else.

To get his juices flowing, in his mind Guido invokes the women who nurture and coddle him, among them his mother (Sophia Loren), mistress (Penélope Cruz), muse (Nicole Kidman), and wife (Marion Cotillard).
But they are so much more obedient in Guido’s dreams than they are in real life, where they refuse to stay in the compartments to which he’s relegated them. Like so many men, Guido can’t reconcile the contradiction that dream women take direction and real women give it.
Marshall’s handsomely wrought film aims to show how artists spin gold from such straw. But the movie, which costars Judi Dench as Guido’s costumer/confidante, Kate Hudson as a journalist/groupie, and Fergie (of the Black Eyed Peas) as the earthiest of prostitutes, is essentially a girlie show purveying the seven flavors of womanhood from madonna to whore.

… I can see you’ve been teaching the children to love others by giving to the poor,” St. Nicholas told the Rev. Peter Pier, the pastor of the church. Parishioner Ray Reitz portrayed the third-century bishop while more than 30 children handed over wrapped presents and told him about their good deeds over the past year.
Some kids, though, were reluctant.
“We’re supposed to keep it to ourselves,” 13-year-old Irene Snyder tells the York Daily Record. “It’s not something we brag about.”
Each child received gold-covered chocolate coins. This echoes a legend about St. Nicholas. Three sisters in his village were supposedly bound for slavery or prostitution because their father couldn’t afford dowries. Legend has it St. Nicholas threw three bags of gold through the family’s window, providing the money so each could be married.

And for most of the last decade, investigators allege, they were partners in a criminal enterprise that trafficked in cocaine and prostitution, and bribed witnesses to keep them from talking – and when that wasn’t an option, resorted to murder to shut them up.
Originally charged as a minor player, Yolanda Jauregui, 37, has been portrayed in recent court filings as a key figure in the operation headed by her boyfriend, Paul Bergrin, a rogue Newark, N.J., defense attorney.
Now held without bail, Jauregui (pronounced HOW-reh-gee) was arraigned on a drug-trafficking charge on Monday, the latest twist in a case that reads like the script of a Quentin Tarantino movie.
…
Authorities also allege that after Bergrin was arrested in 2007 for his involvement in a $1,000-an-hour call girl operation in New York City, Jauregui plotted to have a witness against him killed and agreed to pay $10,000 for the murder contract.

It’s good stuff, and a big reason that Firth is a shoo-in for a best-actor nomination this year. And yet, like some other standout moments this year, it registers much more strongly than the picture as a whole.
“A Single Man” is the directorial debut of Tom Ford, who seems eager to announce his arrival with a lot of fancy edits and slick camera moves, techniques that often step on what the actors are trying to do.
In Firth’s case, it’s delivering a portrait of a man who’s going quietly suicidal – meticulously planning his exit, laying out his clothes, tying up his affairs at the bank and the university.
And trying desperately to avoid another relationship. For a shy fellow, Firth’s character has extremely good luck with handsome men – first Goode, then a Spanish prostitute, and, throughout, a persistent and vapid blond student.
