People will do all sorts of things to see the World Series including hooking — at least that was the case for one local woman.

Susan Finkelstein allegedly offered sex for World Series tickets on Craigslist, said the cops who busted her gig.

It all started with an innuendo-ladened posting titled “DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX (Philadelphia):”

“Diehard Phillies fan — gorgeous tall buxom blonde — in desperate need of two World Series tickets. Price negotiable — I’m the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!”

The short post was signed “S.”

How creative would she get to grab a pair of tix? She was allegedly desperate enough to offer sex, said Bensalem Police.

The 43-year-old Philadelphia woman solicited an undercover Bensalem cop to perform various sex acts in exchange for tickets to see the Phillies play the Yankees at Citizens Bank Park, said police.

She was charged with soliciting prostitution and related offenses. She will receive a court summons via mail, said authorities.

A post on what appeared to be her Facebook page did shed some light on her thoughts. Finkelstein “is wondering about the integrity of our ‘police,’” posted the user. We couldn’t cofirm if this was her Facebook page but it did contain info linking to the accused woman.

Ala. woman lets daughter ride in box on top of van

ALBERTVILLE, Ala. — An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van. Albertville Police spokesman Sgt. Jamie Smith said the 37-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after police received a call about a minivan on a state highway with a child riding on top.
Smith said the woman told police the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down.
Smith said the mother told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.
The 13-year-old daughter wasn’t harmed and was turned over to a relative. A jail worker said the mother was out on bond Monday.

Armed with the findings of a new study, Taiwanese researchers suggest parents and educators pay more attention to children’s online habits because Internet-addicted teens seem more prone to aggression. However, Americans who study violence are not ready to make any conclusions about a possible link.  The rest of the story here

I saw this on Yahoo.. that’s f’ed up…..

DENVER – A good Samaritan who helped push three people out of the path of a pickup truck before being struck and injured has gotten a strange reward for his good deed: A jaywalking ticket.

Family members said 58-year-old bus driver Jim Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Friday night.

Moffett suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He was in serious but stable condition Wednesday.

The Colorado State Patrol issued the citation. Trooper Ryan Sullivan said that despite Moffett’s intentions, jaywalking contributed to the accident.

Moffett had been driving his bus when the two women got off. In the interest of safety, he got out and, together with another passenger, helped the ladies cross.

Moffett’s stepson, Ken McDonald, said the driver of the pickup plowed into his stepfather, but not before Moffett pushed the two women out of the way.

When he awoke in intensive care, he learned of the ticket. “His reaction was dazed and confused. I was a little angry,” said McDonald.

The other man also was cited for jaywalking, while the pickup driver was cited with careless driving that led to injury. Sullivan said the two elderly women haven’t been cited but the investigation is ongoing.
