Trash, Accusations Pile Up After NYC Snow Job
By Dana Chivvis - AOL NewsTourists visiting New York City have been treated to a different sort of snow-blanketed vision: trash mountains. The city's Sanitation Department resumed residential garbage pickup this morning for the first time since Christmas Eve, though still only at 50 percent capacity, The New York Times reported. The cornucopia of trash was a side effect of the post-Christmas blizzard that coated much of the East Coast in more than a foot of snow and which, mysteriously, New York City had inordinate trouble clearing from its streets. Dana Chivvis for AOL News New York City resumed ...

By Allan Lengel - AOL News
(Nov. 21) -- The former school superintendent is behind bars.

Rangel Facing Possible Censure, So What Does That Mean, Exactly?
By J. Richard - AOL News(Nov. 18) -- Rep. Charles Rangel begged for "a drop of fairness and mercy" from the House ethics committee in recommending today how he should be punished for financial and fundraising misconduct. One possibility that was floated as a possible consequence facing Rangel was censure, "the most serious punishment short of expulsion that could be meted out by the House," according to The Associated Press. Earlier this year, the 80-year-old congressman and former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee was accused of violating 12 House rules, including living in four rent-controlled ...

Italy Splurged EU Funds on Elton John Concert
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Nov. 11) -- The European Union is just not feeling the love from Italy tonight. More than a year after Sir Elton John's Piedigrotta Festival performance in Naples, European Union officials are a bit concerned about the 750 million euros in EU funds that were used to put on the British singer-songwriter's concert. The EU provided the money to the Campania region, which includes Naples, as a culture subsidy to support local music, crafts and cuisine. "We know EU funds were used for this concert, and we are looking into it to see if it was eligible," an EU spokesman told the U.K.'s Guardian. ...
Karen Owen's Duke Sex Thesis and PowerPoint as a Word Cloud
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Oct. 8) -- Karen Owen, a former Duke University student, has quickly made a name for herself as both a pioneering figure of female sexual empowerment and the latest social-media pariah, all thanks to a mock 40-plus-page "thesis" she drafted for two close friends in which she "scientifically" documented the sexual prowess of 13 male partners and fellow Duke students, referring to them in her report as "subjects" (many of them Duke lacrosse players). Of course, this being the Internet era, Owen's thesis did not stay within her circle of friends: Having been forwarded to the Duke student body, ...
