Doc: Orgasm cures knee pain

A woman was told by a reflexologist her aching knees would get better if he gave her an orgasm with a vibrating massager, a jury heard yesterday. Stuart Hill, 57, allegedly said he was using a Chinese “hormone therapy” technique, which was banned in Britain. It is claimed he then placed the device on intimate spots and licked the woman’s breasts. Prosecutor Amanda Rippon told Durham Crown Court: “He told her she needed to be orgasmic. She began to think this was legitimate therapy. “She began to feel better and told her husband the defendant was a miracle worker. He was just taking advantage.” Hill, of Brandon, Co Durham, denies nine sex assault and indecency charges. Case continues.

It was an unusually honest ad for a live-in nanny, a 1,000-word tome beginning, "My kids are a pain." But it worked, attracting a brave soul who´s never been a nanny before. "If you cannot multitask, or communicate without being passive aggressive, don´t even bother replying," Rebecca Land Soodak, a mother of four on Manhattan´s Upper East Side, wrote Aug. 19 in her advertisement on Craigslist. "I can be a tad difficult to work for. I´m loud, pushy and while I used to think we paid well, I am no longer sure." This being the age of instant communications, the ad took on a life of its own, making the rounds of parenting blogs and e-mail inboxes and inspiring an article in Thursday´s New York Times. Soodak, a 40-year-old painter whose husband owns a wine store, eventually hired Christina Wynn, a 25-year-old University of Virginia graduate, to take care of Rubin, 12; Ellis, 9; and Shay and Cassie, both 6. "I made a commitment to stay in the job for at least a year," Wynn told the Times. "I met the oldest child, but not the others, which my mother said was crazy -- to accept the job without meeting all the kids.

Palestinian couple locks disabled kids for 40 years in urine-stained rooms

A Palestinian couple locked their disabled kids in two urine-stained rooms for forty years because they were afraid the children would ruin the marriage prospects of a healthy child, police has revealed.

The case has highlighted the shame felt by families who have children with disabilities in Palestinian society “made worse because of poor services and the practice of first-cousin marriages in Arab communities.”

“This is sad, shameful and awful,” The Scotsman quoted Imad Abumohr, a disabled rights activist, as saying.

Few people in the rural town of Beit Awwa knew of Basam Musalmeh, 38, and his sister Nawal, 42 were kept in two crumbling concrete rooms that stank of sweat and urine behind their family’s house.

Police found them during a raid on Tuesday night, while searching for Hamas loyalists and criminals in the village.

Palestinian police commander Samih Saify said that during the search police heard unusual noises and went to investigate. He said they found Basam Musalemeh naked, while Nawal wore a flimsy nightdress.

Their father was arrested, although it was not clear if he was detained for keeping his children locked up or because of his suspected loyalty to militant group Hamas.
