WOMAN ACCUSED OF GROPING MALL SANTA
Tuesday, December 18, 2007
19:03 PST Danbury, Conn. (AP) --
Santa Claus says that a woman who sat on his lap was naughty, not nice. A Santa at the Danbury Fair mall said the woman groped him. "The security officer at the mall said Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted," police Detective Lt. Thomas Michael said of the weekend complaint.
Sandrama Lamy, 33, of Danbury, was charged with sexual assault and breach of peace. She was released on a promise to appear in court on Jan. 3.
Police quickly found and identified Lamy because the woman was described as being on crutches, said Capt. Bob Myles.
Police did not give the name of the disconcerted Santa, but they said he is 65 and felt badly because children were waiting to see him. "He was apparently shocked and embarrassed by the whole incident," Myles said.

Santa: What would you like for Christmas, little girl?
Woman: I want to slide my tongue around you like a snake. |

Who makes this stuff up? Didn't he think something was odd when a 33-year old woman sat on his lap? |

LATE LIBRARY BOOKS CAN TAKE TOLL ON CREDIT SCORES
By ANNE BARNARD and JO CRAVEN McGINTY
NEW YORK TIMESPublished: December 26, 2007
Librarians in Queens do not like to talk about the scofflaws who rack up fines for late books. They prefer to call them “clients” or “patrons” who owe “extended-use fees.” Competing against a tide of video games and cable shows, they are loath to scare away anyone who wants to read.
But their patience has limits. When provoked, they play hardball.
Eleven years ago, the Queens Library system, the largest in the nation by circulation, hired a professional enforcer to collect the 25-cents-a-day late fines as well as missing library materials from books to DVDs to rare musical scores.
The gambit has paid off handsomely. The haul so far: $11.4 million, about half of that in fines. That’s a lot of quarters.
Borrowers who fail to return Queens Library books can be reported to a collection agency and to a credit bureau, with a damaged credit rating as a result — a tactic that so shocked one Far Rockaway rabbi that he filed a lawsuit. The collection policy also has pulled libraries — places where generations of children have learned moral lessons about returning what they borrow — into the debate on just how much punishment is appropriate for failing to return a library book.
----------------------------------------
At the New York Public Library, we don't call them "patrons" or "clients." Do you know what we call them? Criminals.
