SFist Blotter

Lotta activity on Capp Street lately: not only was a man caught beating and trying to strangle a woman around 15th and Capp, but a few weeks earlier, the SFFD found a pot farm on fire two blocks down, in the same building as the Space 180/Locus Arts gallery (where Kim-Shree Maufas and Jane Kim had their school board election party.)

And in other clusters of crime news -- not only did Berkeley chalk up its first murder of 2007 this weekend, there was two other incidents early Monday morning in the middle of the city, where a man first stabbed a woman in the arm (on Milvia and Dwight) and then stabbed two firefighters at the firehouse on Shattuck and Derby 15 minutes later. He had gotten into the fire house because the door had been left open by crews going out to treat the first victim. The man was later found, by search dogs, hiding under someone's patio on Milvia and Parker.

Okay, this isn't crime-related at all, but it's so awesome we gotta share: Ariel Hsing, an 11-year-old girl from San Jose whupped both Bill Gates and Warren Buffett at table tennis. Hsing is ranked number one in the girls under 16 table tennis division, and was flown out to Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway shareholders' meeting, where she not only beat both Gates and Buffett but everyone else who challenged her to a match. It's a crime.... to be so good at ping-pong??

That picture of Ariel Hsing is several years old, and is from when she won in the under 10 age bracket division.
