From the article...LOS ANGELES -- Two animal rights activists were charged Monday with conspiracy, stalking and other crimes against researchers at University of California, Los Angeles and executives of a juice company.
Linda Faith Greene, 61, and Kevin Richard Olliff, 22, pleaded not guilty to the charges during their arraignment in Superior Court.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office issued a statement calling the pair "alleged domestic terrorists" and describing them as associates of the Animal Liberation Front, an extremist animal rights group.
A county grand jury indictment was handed up March 27 and charged each with three counts of conspiracy to commit stalking, three counts of stalking, two counts of conspiracy to threaten a public officer or school employee and two counts of threatening a public officer or school employee. They were arrested Thursday.
The indictment alleges that an unnamed co-conspirator tried to place an incendiary device on the doorstep of UCLA professor Lynn Fairbanks' home in July 2006 but it was actually left at an elderly neighbor's house and failed to explode.
One of the overt acts in the conspiracy was Greene, acting as press officer for an animal rights Web site, posting a "communique" by the ALF which took responsibility for what it called a "moletov cocktail," according to the indictment.
Greene, Olliff and others conducted demonstrations at the professor's home and on the UCLA campus, during which they chanted threats through a bullhorn and disputed law enforcement claims that the wrong house was targeted, according to the indictment.
Greene is also accused of identifying Fairbanks as a "target" on a Web site, publishing her addresses and other personal information online.
The indictment alleges a similar campaign against a neurobiology professor, Dario Ringach, who later gave up primate research, citing harassment from animal rights activists and concerns for his young children.
A telephone message seeking comment was left Monday evening at the office of attorney David B. Rutan, who represented Greene and Olliff when UCLA got a temporary restraining order against animal rights activists.
Dr. Jerry Vlasak, an animal rights activist with North American Animal Liberation Press Office, said Monday that Greene and Olliff violated no laws.
"They're using their constitutional right to free speech. They're not breaking any laws or breaking in to sabotage or destroying vehicles or equipment," Vlasak said. "Everyone knows who they are. They're high-profile activists who never tried to hide their identities. Linda did TV interviews."
The indictment further alleges that Greene and Olliff stalked executives of Los Angeles-based POM Wonderful Juice Co., picketed at a corporate family picnic and conducted demonstrations at their homes.
Vlasak said the activists targeted POM because they believe the company was using animal experiments to support claims that pomegranate juice could improve erectile function in men with mild impotence problems.
A telephone message seeking comment from POM after hours was not immediately returned.
Greene was held on $450,000 bail and is due back in court Friday for a bail review hearing. Olliff was held on $460,000 bail.
Both defendants are scheduled for a pretrial hearing on May 20.
Over the past couple of years, animal rights activists have aggressively protested animal research at the homes of scientists.
Earlier this year, four people pleaded not guilty in connection with an attempted break-in at the home of a UC Santa Cruz breast cancer researcher in 2008. Last December, a man pleaded no contest to making harassing phone calls to UC San Francisco researchers at their homes and telling them that they would die the same way they made animals suffer.From the article...LOS ANGELES -- Two animal rights activists were charged Monday with... more

1. Newcastle – 72%
2. Liverpool – 68%
3. London – 68%
4. Leeds – 65%
5. Edinburgh – 64%

It's not enough to simply text a friend and ask where they are these days. Thankfully, with Google's (slightly scary) new 'Latitude' addition to Google Maps, now you can find out where they are without them really knowing and turn up to surprise them. The new service allows mobile phone users to share their location with friends and family and spot which of their contacts are nearby. Once signed up, an icon of the user's location, as well as their chums', will appear on Google Maps on their phone.
It's accurate to within a hundred yards or so, and at the moment it's only available on Blackberry phones and devices running Windows Mobile and Symbian 360 but it'll be rolled out to iPhone and Google Android users in the next couple of weeks.
Not quite over that ex and want to gatecrash their romantic lunch with their new partner to confess love and sob into their sleeve? Latitude!
Friends no longer inviting you out on nights but you're not going to let that stop you turning up anyway, if only you knew where they were knocking back the drinks? Latitude!

My name is Alton W. Plemmons III. I work for Hillsborough Community College, and also take classes at their Plant City campus. For the past seven months I have been stalked and harassed for my political views, by one student in particular. I have personally told him to back off time and time again. After he would not leave me alone and continued following me I had my friends inform him to back off and leave me alone. In May I brought up my worries to a few in the Administration, and they assured me that they would handle it. I told them about how he had sent me information on how Liberalism is suicide, and even more disturbing his secret plan to take over the College’s Student Government Association. I also told them how he has expressed unabashed hatred towards African Americans, Muslims, Asians, Latinos, and any other race that is not White and Christian. His writings were disturbing enough to me that I felt they needed to be addressed by the Administration. They informed me that they had talked to him and informed him also, to leave me alone and stop with the insensitive writings.
Yesterday, September 11th 2008, my stalker followed me all the way from my Psychology class to my workplace on campus. He the stood outside my office banging on my window and raising his voice telling me that I needed to come out and speak with him for nearly two and a half minutes. I would not, and he finally left. Later in the day he roamed the campus and found me in the school’s library. I had to move as quickly as possible to get out of the library without him trying to get to me. I went to the campus security, and finally filed a formal compliant. I was rather shaken up by the day’s events, and since I have PTSD, all my horrible memories started coming back, and I felt as if I was no longer safe on campus. After I made the complaint, I went to the Dean of Student Service’s office, with security, and told the Dean my problem. The campus’s Guidance Counselor was there too, they informed me that they would deal with the matter.
This morning, Friday September the 12th, I received a phone call from one of my close friends, informing me that the Campus President was actively trying to blackball me, and that I was being investigated, after pressing the charges against the student who has been harassing and stalking me. I am very afraid that the College will do nothing to protect my safety, and furthermore, that the College is now blaming me the victim. I was just wondering if stalking and harassment is happening not just my College, but other Universities and Junior Colleges around the country.
Yours truly, but very scared,
Alton William Plemmons III
