Accused “Craigslist Killer” Philip Markoff committed suicide at Nashua Street Jail in Boston, where he was being held awaiting trial in the slaying of Julissa Brisman, 26, who was visiting from New York, according to Steven Tompkins, spokesman for the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office.
…s attorney.Salsberg declined to comment further.
Media surrounded the Nashua Street jail this afternoon and into the evening as prisoners held up signs to their windows commenting on Markoff’s death.
One sign read, “I’m staying alive.”
Another said, “All rapists should die.”
Markoff had been placed on suicide watch shortly after his arrest nearly a week after the slaying.
In April 2009, Markoff was examined by medical staff at the jail and put in a special cell under camera surveillance after a correction officer saw marks on his neck that suggested he had tried to use shoelaces to hang himself, the Globe reported at the time.
In May, a prison official told the Globe that Markoff was no longer being segregated from other prisoners. He was acclimating well, playing chess with the other inmates, according to the official.
Police arrested Markoff, who was living in Quincy, on April 20, 2009 after stopping him on Interstate 95 in Walpole. Markoff told police he was headed to the Foxwoods Casino in…

Web marketplace Craigslist responds to claims the site adult section ‘aids sex trafficking’ and ‘promotes prostitution’.
…”I was first forced into prostitution when I was 11 years old by a 28-year-old man,” the latter went.
“All day, other girls and I sat with our laptops, posting pictures and answering ads on Craigslist.
“I am 17 now, and my childhood memories aren’t of my family, going to middle school, or dancing at the prom.
“They are of making my own arrangements on Craigslist to be sold for sex, and answering as many ads as possible for fear of beatings and ice water baths,” the letter continued.
The letter said that Craigslist was now the choice of traffickers because it was “so well known and there are rarely consequences to using it for these illegal acts”.
The firm’s chief executive, Jim Buckmaster, replied by asking if the “perpetrators are behind bars” and if the advocacy groups who placed the adverts could “let us know where the police reports were filed”.
“We have been unable thus far to identify police reports matching the crimes you describe,” the statement read.
“If anyone committing such crimes has…

…want Even with the growth of online classifieds and the increase in popularity on sites like Craigslist are newspaper classifieds are still the preferred method of advertising for many to sell unwanted items. This is the number of leaves per day evident all ads in newspapers and magazines around the country and around the world. These ads may publish more than they cost on the internet, but post your ad in the newspaper is likely the probability of a sale that we are to increase to a local market. It is unlikely that anyone will be from across the country or around the world, used furniture, lawn mower or Kenmore washer and use it to buy a majority of the traffic from the Internet ad would be futile. But due to the fact that most newspapers have ads that provide the local market to increase the chances of a sale of the newspaper significantly, because the product can be easily reached. On the contrary, would be if she lives to sell a motorcycle online and the seller in Florida, while his very difficult…

No one is looking for these guys. And I see why.
…Sigh. No one is looking for these guys. And I see why. They hump everything in sight, try to dominate our old doggies, try to eat our cats and pee on everything and bark at everything. Neurotic, lick constantly. They know no commands, either in English or Spanish. They are aggressive and probably lived in a puppy mill. You dumped them, probably, and we picked them up before they were killed by traffic. Unneutered, no tags, under 1 year old small males. I hate you, person who dumped these dogs. There are no lost ads on phone poles, no lost ad on Craig’s list, no lost ad in the paper. We put signs up all over, put a found notice in at the local pounds and if you were looking for these filthy little ragamuffins, you would have found them. We are afraid to take them to the pound because under stress, your dogs were snappy and horribly afraid and dogs are judged by temperament for adoption placement. They would not have passed that test. However……..

Currently advertised on Craigslist is an apartment — unit 3E at 142 West 109th Street near the border of Manhattan’s Upper West Side and Morningside Heights neighborhoods — that just so happens to be the apartment President Obama lived in when he was a student at Columbia University in the early ’80s. You can take a video tour of the flat……
…Still, the pad has some detractors at least so far as its 1980s condition is concerned. New Yorker editor David Remnick, in his recently published book on Obama, “The Bridge,” describes the apartment as a virtual slum-trap-dump so revolting that the future president extended his time on the Columbia campus just to avoid spending time inside the apartment. What’s more, Remnick writes, the future president was often forced to journey elsewhere for the comfort of an occasional hot shower. “As a transfer student, Obama wasn’t able to get Columbia housing, and so for the next couple of years he lived in a series of cheap off-campus apartments,” Remnick writes. “The first year he had made arrangements to share a third-floor walkup with his Occidental friend Phil Boerner at 142 West 109th Street, off Amsterdam Avenue. They split the monthly rent of three hundred and sixty dollars. The apartment’s charms included spotty heat, irregular hot water, and a railroad-flat layout. They adjusted, using the showers at the…

taxpayers who annually sell more than $20,000 worth of goods and have more than 200 electronic transactions’ will receive a new IRS form, known as 1099-K, for reporting the proceeds starting in 2011
…But if you’re a frequent or big-time seller, the government might consider your proceeds to be income and could come after you for taxes.Andrea Fabiana Orellana learned that lesson the hard way. The Internal Revenue Service claimed Orellana hadn’t reported more than $41,000 of income from about 1,800 eBay sales of designer clothes, shoes and other items during 2004 and 2005 and said she owed nearly $15,000 in taxes and penalties. Orellana appealed to the U.S. Tax Court and lost. The court said she didn’t provide adequate documentation of her costs and expenses to offset the income.
Orellana said she didn’t consider herself to be in “business” and thus didn’t think she had to keep records, according to the court decision last month. She said she originally bought the auctioned items herself or received them as gifts. “Unless there was some really bizarre reason why I kept a receipt, there were no receipts,” Orellana testified.
Special trial Judge John F. Dean noted she was working for the IRS at the…
