Rich Kid Can't Believe Judge Convicted Him of Beating Girlfriend - Christopher Gardner Beaman

He's supposed to be a descendant of Henry Cabot Lodge, but Christopher Gardner Beaman, 24 appears to be headed to jail instead of fame and fortune. The blue blooded Beaman is pictured at right after hearing a judge convict him of attacking his girlfriend and NOT buying his lawyer's arguement that the young man had something called “intermittent explosive disorder.” Here's more on the story from the Boston Herald, which also has more "shocked" pictures of Mr. Beaman. At right, the "Did the old dude just say guilty?" photo of the day.

Christopher Gardner Beaman, 24, a descendant of Henry Cabot Lodge, was sentenced to a year in jail after his petite former girlfriend told a rapt courtroom about the unprovoked attack that lacerated her liver and temporarily put her in a wheelchair.
“He hit me where all my vital organs were. If his fist had moved a little to the right or a little to the left, I would not be here today,” said the brunette from the witness stand at Somerville District Court on Thursday. “This would be a homicide proceeding.”
The woman, who asked that her name not be used, delivered the emotional victim impact statement in front of a courtroom filled with 11 family and friends of Beaman, a popular organizer of Boston Frisbee and flag football teams and political documentary groups.
Among Beaman’s supporters was his mother, Dr. Roseanna H. Means, who took out a restraining order against her son after he allegedly pushed her down stairs at her Wellesley home Dec. 10, 2006, court records show. That assault and battery case was continued for one year without a finding Jan. 30, 2007, and Beaman was put on probation for one year, court records show.
“I would like him to get help,” said Beaman’s 30-year-old ex, who was accompanied by her parents and attorney John G. Swomley. “If Chris does not want the help, at least take him off the streets. The next time, someone will be maimed or killed.”

Teacher Fired for Being Part of Bikini Crew on Fishing Boats - Tiffany Shepherd, Port St. Lucie High School

Does the State of Florida pay its teachers enough? Apparently not, since Tiffany Shepherd, a biology teacher at Port St. Lucie High School had to find a second job to make ends meet and take care of her three kids. Unfortunately, that second job was as a bikini-clad mate on fishing tour boats for a company called Smokin' Em, and for some reason the school district didn't think that was appropriate. At right, a picture of Tiffany Shepard in her bikini. Here's more from The Daily Mail which also includes a number of other great pics of Tiffany.

The 30-year-old blonde from Fort Pierce – who has a pre-medical degree - performs the usual duties of a ship's mate, but wears a bikini and fetches drinks and sandwiches for the men on board. She took the job three weeks ago to help support her three young sons following a divorce.
"I can make $600 [£300] in two days' fishing," she said. "That's a week's pay for me." Smokin' Em Charters, a Port St. Lucie-based company, has pictures of some of the bikini mates on its website - many of them partially nude - and says the only job requirement is to look "hot in a bikini".
Ms Shepherd, who said she does not go topless on the fishing boat, said she doesn't believe the job is inappropriate or at odds with her role as a teacher to high school students. "You don't wear jeans or slacks to go fishing," she said. "I wasn't doing anything wrong."
Officials said suggestive photos of Ms Shepherd on the Smokin' Em website could have posed a problem because they could undermine her effectiveness.
