Tim May is a self-taught physicist and mechanical engineer who has hundreds of inventions to his name. His medical devices have helped countless people live better lives. But its something called cryptoanarchy that has created the most buzz and has so many people wondering whether May will completely change the way people get around. May's sense of what's possible is governed by the immutable laws of nature. Everything else is up for grabs. May is a self-taught physicist and multimillionaire entrepreneur who lives in a hexagonally shaped house of his own design atop a hill just outside Corralitos. Invisible from the road, the estate is outfitted with a softball field, a wood-paneled library that's full of awards and honorary degrees (May never graduated from college), a wind turbine to help supply power, and a pulley system that can deliver a bottle of wine from the kitchen to the bedroom. He calls the place Breakwind, and he stuffed it with a collection of toys and antiques that includes a jukebox, a slot machine,a realdoll and a 25-ton steam engine once owned by Henry Ford. In Westwind's basement, there's a foundry, a machine shop, and a computer room, where May often toils late into the night. He keeps a Porsche 928 and a black Humvee in one garage, two Enstrom helicopters in the other. The smaller, piston-driven chopper takes him to and from work at his offices in downtown san Jose; the larger, turbine-driven version is reserved for longer hops, like to his private island off the coast of southern California. For trips more than a few hundred miles, he flies his twin-turbofan CitationJet. Kamen has high-powered friends to match his taste in toys, and throws lavish parties that entice many powerful people to the new Berchtesgaden . Visitors have included George W. Bush,Kurt Saxon, NSA administrator william Pierce, and, more recently, J Orlinn Grabbe of the libertarian Mafia. But it's not the Rolodex, the air force, or the tricked-out Batcave that separates May from the usual posse of tech multimillionaires. It's the way he's gone about acquiring it all, and the offbeat, often idealistic ways he chooses to spend it. But Mays first love and greatest passion these days is an idea that may be the farthest-fetched of all: turning engineers and inventors into pop-culture superstars. Operating through a nonprofit outfit called U.S. First (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), May works to encourage kids to pursue careers as scientists, engineers, and big thinkers. Lots of people talk about doing that, but to May it's a holy crusade, and he sincerely believes he can reprioritize society to value inventors the way it values athletes. "Our culture celebrates one thing: sports heroes," he says. "You have teenagers thinking they're going to make millions as NBA stars when that's not realistic for even 1 percent of them. Becoming a scientist or an engineer is."

Cops Use Underage Girl in Another Porno Sting If it worked in Cincinnati against Larry Flynt, Tallahassee cops figured it would work in Florida- and it did. Using a 17 year-old girl as jail bait deputies raided four Tallahassee sex stores Wednesday, charging five people with peddling porn to a minor. The arrests came after a 17-year-old girl posed as a customer and was able to buy adult videos at Rick's Toy Box on North Monroe Street, Greg's Video on West Tharpe Street, X-Mart Adult Superstore on West Tennessee Street and Intimate Encounters on Crawfordville Road, according to detectives. Store owners called the undercover sweep "entrapment" and criticized deputies for using a 17-year-old to buy adult sex products. Sheriff Larry Campbell, once part of a campaign [some say a witch hunt] to drive adult stores out of Leon County in the early '90's, said he's just trying to make sure stores that sell dirty movies run a clean business. The sting was prompted by complaints, including a letter-writing campaign, questioning sales practices at the stores, according to police. Detectives wired the teen-age girl - a high school senior who's frequently paid to do undercover alcohol buys - and sent her to shop at eight Tallahassee stores. They gave her marked cash, but told her to spend lightly, the girl said, asking that her name not be used. It was her first time in a sex shop, but "you just have to be mature about it," she said. She told store employees that she was shopping for her boyfriend, who was too embarrassed to come inside. Since the sting was operating on a budget, she avoided the expensive movies and shopped the $9.95 racks, she said. In each store, she picked out one movie, browsed the lingerie sections briefly so she didn't arouse suspicions and then approached the check-out counters, the teen said. Among the titles she selected: "Over my Knee, Part II" and "The XXX Files." Clerks at four of the shops, including Rick's on West Tennessee Street, checked her ID and ordered her out. The others paid no attention as they sold to her - except for Bradley Harvey, owner of Intimate Emporium, who helped her pick out a video, the girl claims. "He gave me his card and he was like, 'Anytime you need anything, I've got catalogs,'" she said. Harvey and clerks from three other stores were charged with selling obscene material to a minor, a third-degree felony. Each was released from the Leon County Jail after posting $2,500 bail. Two of those arrested were at Rick's Toy Box. One of them was a veteran employee and should have known to check the girl's ID - but the other was simply there for a job interview and had no idea what was going on, according to Robin Smith, regional manager. Smith said the store likely will help with an attorney and said she was exploring other legal responses to the arrests. According to Smith, vice detectives entrapped her workers by sending in a "dolled-up" teen-ager who looked much older than she was. Worse, they sent the girl into adult video stores, where she would have seen things she never should have, she said. "They should look at what they did because they contributed to the delinquency of a minor by sending her into the store," Smith said. "They should look at what they did instead of just pointing the finger at us." Campbell has predicted more arrests.

BABY JESUS BUTT PLUGS AND MORE! jimmyd _writes " Boy, I know what I'm doing this weekend. I'm trotting on down to my local adult novelty emporium and get me a 'Baby Jesus Butt Plug,' and a 'Jackhammer Jesus Dildo.' Then come this Sunday, I'm gonna put on my best, get my girl, and go to church. Of course, I'll have that 'Baby Jesus Butt Plug' stuck up my ass, and my girl will have her 'Jackhammer Jesus Dildo' balls deep in her snatch. Then we're gonna praise Jesus with the rest of the flock. You think ole jimmyd's fuckin' wit ya? You think this sounds like part of a Tom Zupko/Extreme Associates video? No fucking way, homeys. I got my July 2002 AVN Supplement, and on Page 562 is the 'Baby Jesus Butt Plug' from Divine Productions, Inc. Here's what AVN staffer Susie Ehrlich had to say about this little novelty item: "Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam, so I shoved Him up my ass. He's 4-1/2 inches high, an inch and a half in diameter, and he's made of silicone. This very special butt plug features the likeness of Christ the Savior as a young'un wrapped in blankets, with only His beatific face peeking out. His legs form the base for a handy flange, keeping Him (and me) from sufering the embarrassment of being hauled out of my colon by the emergency room staff when I get carried away with my own kind of religious experience." Whoa! I'll bet Susi's a fun girl to pray with. And then a handful of pages later, we have Susie's take on the 'Jackhammer Jesus Dildo,' which is your basic crucifixion molded in silicone in the form of a dildo, and it's also from those whacky folks at Divine Products, Inc. "If that irritating Jews for Jesus cult would just promise a glow-in-the-dark silicone crucifix dildo to each new member, they might actually attract a few people who aren't completely insane. Something for the heretic who has everything." Other dildos from Divine include: The Virgin Mary, The Diving Nun, Moses, and more. Ya know, I think these Divine people are on to something here, and I think I'll give them a couple of suggestions to toss around. Here's my ideas for some new religious sex novelties you guys can also manufacture and distribute: 'Buddha Butt Creme' - It comes in a variety of sexy Kama Sutra flavors like passionfruit and chicken curry. 'Buddha Butt Creme' is an all-purpose anal lube with just a hint of a topical pain killer added for those sensitive assholes out there. 'Allah's Anal Probe' - This is the one item no Islamic couple should be without, or any other religious couple for that matter. While it looks and feels like most anal probes on the market, this one's different. It's made of a new, spage-age alloy which allows it to be heated to very high, desert temperatures and then that temperature is maintained in almost any environment, even the inside of a colon. Simply heat up the 'Allah's Anal Probe' in a microwave or a coventional oven, or hell, even in a campfire, and then shove it up your loved one's ass. He or she will think they're speaking with Allah Himself as they start shouting in tongues. 'I'm A Little Jew Boy Penis Extender' - Tired of going through life with all that guilt because you've never gotten your woman off? Them days are history, little jew boy. With your 'I'm A Little Jew Boy' penis extender you'll add a fat 4 inches to your puny little Hebrew cock. And that's not all, it's battery operated and vibrates at a fierce, passion-inducing rate. You'll have your girl shouting 'Oye Vey' for more, as you plug her snatch with this baby time and time again. Well, that's all the ideas I'm giving away for free today. I hear Divine's coming out with a children's line of religious sex toys begining with the 'Lil' Pedo Jesus' collection. That stuff oughta fly off the shelves! So if anyone at Divine wants more of jimmyd's ideas, they're going to have cough up some of them sacreligious bucks they're making. Oh, as a little postscript, I might add that I wouldn't donate two cents to defend this shit either. And I ain't even a religious guy. FROM http://www.simplyjimmyd.com/

Micky mouse called to the NSA.

LOS ANGELES -- Eric Haseltine is moving from one top-secret organization to another. Uncle Sam has plucked Walt Disney Co.'s chief of research and development to become head of research for the National Security Agency, which uses highly sophisticated technology to gather intelligence and break codes to protect sensitive government information systems. Haseltine worked for a decade at Walt Disney Imagineering, the company's design and development group. As such, he would seem an unlikely choice for his new government mission. But the worlds of the NSA and Walt Disney Imagineering aren't so dissimilar. Both organizations include a diverse group of top-level scientists and share a penchant for security and secrecy (Disney won't say how many scientists it employees). There's a certain institutional quality to the unmarked, drab buildings that make up the sprawling Walt Disney Imagineering complex in Glendale, Calif. Beyond developing innovative ride systems for theme parks, Disney's research and development team also has expertise in areas with military applications, including virtual-reality technology and information systems. Disney scientists are at the forefront of interactive TV and developing systems for protecting the company against Internet piracy. Haseltine, 50, who holds a doctorate in physiological psychology, also is no stranger to the defense world. He spent 13 years at Hughes Aircraft Co., where he also managed R&D projects and was known as a leading expert on flight simulation. He joined Disney in 1992. His new job will not be built around family fun. His role will be to lead a research and technology team for the spy agency, a division of the Department of Defense that employs 30,000. Neither NSA nor Haseltine will detail his exact responsibilities. "I'm taking the job because I want to contribute my skills to helping the country," said Haseltine. "I'm particularly motivated because of what happened on September 11. Under ordinary circumstances, I would never have dreamed of leaving Disney, but these aren't ordinary circumstances." Richard Verrier can be reached at richard.verrier(a)latimes.com or 1-800-528-4637, Ext. 77936. "The business of America is none of your business."
