Manteca Chop Shop Sweep Nets Seven
A suspected chop shop of stolen cars which police believe has operated for months has been busted at a rural farmhouse on South Union Road in Manteca. Six men and one woman face dozens of felony charges.
"For the city of Manteca I'd say this is a really good size. This is a great case," said Detective John Moody. "Being able to find one stolen (car) being dismantled at a residence is great, however, being able to have five is fantastic."
Detectives found one intact stolen sedan with four others in various stages of dismantling. The suspects are believed to have been using a large garage at the rear of the farm house to chop the cars. Two weapons, including a sawed-off shotgun, were also found, according to Moody.
Looking over a pile of engines, doors and seats brought to City Wide Towing in Stockton, Russ Johnson said thieves find it more convenient to part-out stolen cars and trucks.

A Diesel Dose Of Shaq-Related Chatter
Teams talking trade with the Mavs these days naturally try to convince them to make all the complications go away by turning the rights they still hold to Keith Van Horn into an expiring contract, as described in Box 3. The Mavs could actually make a trade for Kidd much easier if they were willing to throw a signed-and-traded Van Horn in to satisfy salary-cap requirements. That would amount to Van Horn getting a three-year deal with only the first year guaranteed at a healthy $11.7 million. Package Van Horn with Harris and perhaps more salary-cap filler and the Nets would get good cap relief along with an on-the-rise point guard to replace Kidd, while Dallas would have its mega-trade answer to the Gasol and Shaq deals. Only one problem. Although he still refuses to address the prospect of trading for Kidd without chastising or mocking any reporter who dares to ask, Cuban did tell ESPN.com very clearly that "we won't use [Van Horn] in any deal for anyone." Reason being: If Dallas did so in the scenario described above, Kidd would cost them nearly $40 million next season thanks to the luxury tax.

The first size-friendly resort opened in Mexico's lovely Riviera Maya in the summer of 2003. This size-friendly travel agency, according to Travel & Leisure, "advises overweight vacationers on how to avoid being charged for two airplane seats and how to find the most accommodating cruise lines." There are dating services, too. Business Week last week noted that "the number of accredited U.S. weight-loss camps has nearly doubled in the past five years." The women's gym Curves has an astonishing 9,000 franchises. The Silicon Valley of the fat economy is Durham, N.C. As part of its "Obesity, Inc." series, the New York Times in May noted how weight-reduction had replaced tobacco as a key local industry. Reporter Stephanie Saul dubbed Durham a "Lourdes for the obese."

Thomas Charged In 17 Home Burglaries
Chattanooga Police have arrested a man in connection with 17 residential burglaries that occurred in the Chattanooga area.
Police said Steven Thomas, 27, was out on bond and on probation for previous burglary charges when he carried out other break-ins.
Thomas was arrested Thursday by Investigator Mike Early and Phil Grubb of the Property Crimes Investigation Unit after police said he confessed to other burglaries that he committed.
According to the investigators, a residential burglary was reported on 5th Avenue. The victim told the investigator that her digital camera and other electronics had been taken. The victim provided the serial numbers for her belongings, and the investigator contacted a local pawn shop and determined some of the belongings had been pawned within an hour of the burglary.

That trite remark is not intended to illustrate the old myth of dispassionate objectivity. Nor is it an attempt, particularly, to give a human face to a sometimes inhumane trade. It's just a fact, and blindingly obvious. Sorry about that. In this trade we know a little about a lot of things, but there are many things we can never know. How does it really feel to be Tony Blair, or a suicide bomber, or a Saudi princeling? What, if anything, goes on in the mind of a movie star, or a Darfur refugee, or a musical prodigy? We can do youinformation,speculation,andempathy, sometimes. Omniscience is not our game. But parenthood? That's a species marker, more often than not. It's the reason why new fathers and mothers will bore you witless over dinner with the one topic of which they never tire.
