A mom who hired strippers for her son’s 16th birthday party could be stripped of her freedom if she’s convicted on child endangerment charges.
Police say Judy Viger, 33, of Gansevoort, New York, allegedly hired two female strippers to help celebrate her son’s big day. The party was held at a bowling alley, and the strippers performed lewd dances for partygoers as young as 14, reports The Times Union of Albany.
I don’t know if jOBS—the biopic of Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher—will be any good, but this clip by Inside Movies actually looks pretty decent! We might have to eat our words.

As recently as 2010, 14 percent of Connecticut’s population was age 65 or older. By 2025, that percentage will increase to 20 percent, and will continue to climb. The implications of a larger, older population on the state’s economy and a range of services present both challenges and opportunities for the state. Some suggest that the state’s population will begin to look more like Florida.
When high school students take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), their shot at a college career often hangs in the balance.

Connecticut farmers, and farmers everywhere, have always been at the mercy of Mother Nature. This year apple growers in Connecticut are hurting more than ever. According to the Hartford Courant, crops are down to about 16 percent this year due to an April freeze that damaged early budding apple blossoms. Changes in weather patterns have been a large concern among many this year, especially those who are at the whims of it.
Want to know all about the new iPad and iPad mini? We offer a concise set of descriptions and recommendations on the new products.
4th Generation iPad
We were only talking about the “new” iPad in March and today Apple just announced its 4th Generation iPad. The display is identical to the current iPad with retina display, and the overall design hasn’t changed much from the iPad 2 announced in 2011. The 4th generation device does have Apple’s faster A6 processor now found in the iPhone 5. The company claims it’s now twice as fast as the previous model.
There’s a mild kerfuffle about in the world of orthodox Catholicism, because Scottish philosopher (and advisor to the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Culture), has written a piece in The Tablet (pay wall) saying that it’s time once again for the Catholic Church to ordain married men as priests:
This is not a case of simply increasing the number of clergy and nor is it an easy solution to the challenge of halting the decline. Rather a married contingent can better resemble and reassemble the faithful and speak to it of what they know of its needs and difficulties, and speak also to the celibates now not from without but within the brotherhood of the ordained.
The final straw, he says is the decade of sexual abuse scandals, which many Catholics still want to minimize by saying, “Hey, other people have this problem, too” (this month’s example: the Boy Scouts):
