E-xcept that Bolt is far too ap proachable and has too much of a sense of humour to be conside -red part of such a stern occupa tion. The 41-year-old Torontonian, who is beloved by NHL players and management, seems to strike just t-he right friendly-but-firm dispo sition as he guards one of sport’s most prestigious trophies against desecration, disrespect and overstepped boundaries.
You can touch the Cup. You can even kiss it. But you can’t hoist it o-ver your head unless you have ac tually won it.
And there are places the Cup can’t go any more, like to strip joints or casinos.
I-n these days of instant Inter net photography, a picture could be flashed around the world with the Cup next to a nude stripper. That would never do. It also can’t be used for corporate promotions, although charities are OK. Bolt has to act as a quasi-policeman, while ensuring that everyone has a good time with the Cup.

With an $8,000 loan ($1,000 from his mother, who had hoped he’d become a missionary), the 27-year-old Hefner produced a pasted-together but vital magazine. He bought the rights to an old pin-up picture of Marilyn Monroe and used it as centrefold bait to drum up 70,000 advance orders: “It immediately classed us as big-time with the news dealers,” Hefner wrote, “and probably with our readers, too.” Within two years, Playboy was selling 500,000 copies a month, at 50 cents a go; by the end of the decade this figure had doubled. Hefner made readers feel part of a knowing, sophisticated, elite gentlemen’s club. In 1957, he offered them the chance to buy, for $150, a lifetime’s subscription, which they could bequeath to an heir. The first issue was hand-delivered by a Playmate.

Launden Luckett, a convicted felon from Chicago, testified in Howard Superior Court 1 Thursday that he and Jesse Harris Jr., also of Chicago, shot at Abby Rethlake’s white Monte Carlo April 5, 2008, with the intent to kill everyone in the car.
Luckett’s testimony, along with testimony from Edward Ledezma, an Illinois prison informant, shook up the two victims’ families and a few jurors.
Harris, 27, is on trial on charges of murder and Class A felony charges of conspiracy to commit murder, two counts of attempted murder and aggravated battery in the case. According to the charging information, Harris allegedly killed 18-year-old Rethlake, and conspired and attempted to kill Vetter, who was 19 at the time, and Mark Matthews, a second passenger in Rethlake’s car.
Luckett, 23, told jurors that he and Harris belong to a Chicago gang called “Blackstones,” and were at Little Daddy’s strip club prior to the shooting.

Vetter testified that she was shot three times that morning in the parking lot of Meadowlawn Apartments as she sat in Rethlake’s car. She showed jurors her wounds and explained how she was involved.
Vetter told jurors she was sitting in the passenger seat of the car when two men got out of a dark-colored car and opened fire. She said one bullet went into her shoulder and exited through her chest, while another bullet lodged in her thigh and the third went into her back and exited her stomach.
“I was in intensive care for a week,” she said.
Prior to the shooting, Vetter said she and Rethlake watched TV most of the night until they received a phone call from Matthews, who asked them to pick him up at Little Daddy’s strip club.

Stamos denies fling with 17-year-old
An attorney for actor John Stamos denies the “Full House” and “ER” star had a romantic fling with a 17-year-old girl who, six years later, is accused of scheming to bilk him of hundreds of thousands of dollars by threatening to sell compromising photos to the tabloids.
A defense lawyer made the allegation Monday during opening arguments in U.S. District Court as Allison Coss and Scott Sippola went on trial, charged with conspiracy to commit extortion. Coss, 24, and Sippola, 31, both of Marquette, are accused of conspiring to extort $680,000 from Stamos by telling him they had photos of him with cocaine and strippers — pictures prosecutors contend don’t exist and that two FBI agents testified they did not find while searching the defendants’ house after their arrest.

What TMZ calls “a strippers‘ Legion of Doom” will land in Rosemont this week as six women tied to celebrity cheating scandals will appear — clothed, in case you were wondering — at a porn industry expo.
Alleged mistresses of Tiger Woods and Jesse James are the feature attractions at Exxxtacy 2010, scheduled to run Friday through Sunday at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. Mike Wittenberg of Long Island-based Taboo Productions, the show’s organizer, said the women will sign autographs, pose for pictures and field questions from the audience.
…
“The Scandal Girls,” as Wittenberg dubs them, will be a small part of an expo that promises appearances from more than 100 porn stars and a strip club built on the convention floor. It sounds rather salacious by Rosemont standards, and indeed, Wittenberg said this will be the first show of its kind in the region in 30 years.

UPDATE 1-Western Refining’s Yorktown ops normal after flaring
Mon Jul 12, 2010 3:05pm GMT
* Sour water stripper unit problem causes flaring
* No impact on production
(Update with company comment)
NEW YORK, July 12 (Reuters) – Western Refining (WNR.N: Quote) said on Monday production at its 64,500 barrel-per-day refinery in Yorktown, Virginia was not affected by a problem that had caused flaring on Saturday.
In the filing to regulators on Saturday, Western said ammonium hydroxide, nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide were released due to a problem with the sour water stripper, but added that the quantities might not be above reportable levels.
“As a pre-emptive measure, we filed the report until we knew what the emissions were going to be,” said Gary Hanson, a spokesman for the company.
Hanson said the incident did not impact production and operations continue on plan. (Reporting by Janet McGurty and Ratul Ray Chaudhuri Editing by Marguerita Choy) (janet.mcgurty@thomsonreuters.com; Reuters Messaging: janet.mcgurty.reuters.com@reuters.net; 646 226 3027))
