Žena teška 140 kg sela na dečka i ubila ga

Sud u Klivlendu osudio Miju Lendingem za ubistvo iz nehata na tri godine uslovno i 100 sati rada u zajednici jer je sela na svog dečka Mikala Midltona Baja i ubila ga.
Mija i Mikal su se posvađali u oktobru prošle godine. Mija, koja je tada težila 140 kilograma, sela je na Mikala teškog jedva 55 kilograma i ubila ga.
Dok se obraćala sudiji, Mija se rasplakala i rekla kako joj je žao zbog cele situacije. Mija i Mikal su imali troje dece.

Anthrax in heroin kills eight in Europe

QuoteEight people have died of anthrax infection from using suspected contaminated heroin, European health authorities said on Saturday, and one expert advised users to stop taking the narcotic immediately.

Authorities said they believed a batch of heroin is circulating in Europe that is contaminated with anthrax, a fairly common bacteria whose spores can be used as a biological weapon.

"I would urge all drug users to stop using heroin immediately and contact local drug services for support," Colin Ramsay, a consultant epidemiologist in Scotland, said in a statement.

A total of 15 heroin users in Scotland have been found to have anthrax infection since December. Seven of them have died.

The eighth victim was a 42-year-old man in Germany who died of anthrax infection in mid-December after injecting drugs, authorities said.

"It is now suspected that heroin with infectious anthrax spores (and possibly other psychoactive substances that can be injected) is in circulation in Europe," the health ministry in Berlin said in a statement.

Anthrax infection occurs most often in wild and domestic animals in Asia, Africa and parts of Europe.

Humans are rarely infected but touching contaminated hides or hair can cause skin lesions. If the bacillus is inhaled, it can take hold quickly and by the time symptoms show up, it usually is too late for successful treatment with antibiotics.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which monitors health in the European Union, said on its website that further anthrax cases were possible.

"The occurrence of 15 confirmed cases, including 8 deaths in a 5-week period is unusual and unexpected," it said.

"Considering the complex international distribution chain of heroin, and the clustering in time of cases in Scotland and Germany, the exposure to a contaminated batch of heroin distributed in several EU Member States is possible."

England's chief medical officer Liam Donaldson issued an alert last week to doctors and hospital emergency rooms to be on the look out for anthrax poisoning.

The ECDC said investigations so far "strongly" suggested that all the cases had been infected by a common source, but said the heroin was unlikely to have been deliberately contaminated.

"Accidental contamination seems the most plausible explanation to these incidents," it said.

83 Year Old Brooklyn Jew Beats Up 99 Year Old Brooklyn Jew With "The Club" xtwak NBC NY - Despite their combined age of 182, two feisty New Yorkers should be kept far, far apart after a recent skirmish in Sheepshead Bay. Gersh Goffman, 83 years young, stands accused of beating 99-year old Steve Pulwers with "The Club" – the steering wheel anti-theft device – in a dispute earlier this week. Pulwers, who is nearly blind, was left with a broken nose and cracked ribs after a beating spurred by his asking the younger Gofman to move his car, "which was blocking his building's driveway," according to Sheepshead Bites. His wife, 74-year old Josefa Pulwers, told reporters that the attack itself wasn't even the part Pulwers remembers most vividly. Rather, he told her he was even more shocked when he thought he was being attacked by another Jew. Pulwers is a survivor of Stalin's corrective labor camps. Gofman was arrested on charges of assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon – The Club. Pulwers was sent to an area hospital where we he was fixed up and sent on his way. His 100th birthday is in late March. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/weird/83-Year-Old-Beats-99-Year-Old--82321967.html

QuoteDog Shoots Hunter
53-Year-Old Man Suffers Non-Life Threatening Injuries After Setting Down Shotgun to Retrieve Decoys

(CBS)   A hunter is recovering from non-life threatening injuries after being shot by his dog on Saturday.

The Merced County Sheriff's Department said the 53-year-old man was hunting with a partner off Highway 152 near Los Banos when he set down his shotgun to retrieve his decoy ducks.

The shotgun was loaded but the safety was on, according to authorities.

The victim was about 15 yards away, retrieving his decoys, when his female black Labrador retriever stepped on the gun.

Authorities said the dog disengaged the safety and hit the trigger at the same time, firing a shell with #2 shot. The man was struck in on the left side of his upper back.

The man was treated and released at the hospital the same day.

Man pins child porn accusations on pet cat


Child porn is, understandably, a very serious offense; so much so that there's an entire TV show dedicated to catching those willing to have sex with a minor, thus potentially also guilty of the first crime. As you can expect, people will do near anything to escape charges, though sometimes they end up getting themselves into worse trouble than they initially were. One such example is a 48 year old man named Keith Griffin, as NBC Miami reports, who told police that his cat was the one behind the 1000+ child porn images on his computer.

According to Griffin, he said to the cops that he would leave his computer running, and as he did so the cat would jump on the keyboard and the images would suddenly appear. According to The Register, one such incident was when, according to Griffin, he was downloading music, and upon returning from a quick trip to another room, he found "strange things" had happened to his computer. Much to his dismay, the cops didn't believe the elaborate and foolproof excuse, so now he's being held in prison on a $250,000 bail. As NBC points out, this isn't the first time that a cat has been up to shenanigans involving a keyboard.

The cat's now in the care of a relative, and probably will be for a long time, based on Griffin's excuse.

Window cleaner killed himself with giant souvenir pencil, inquest hears

A window cleaner died after stabbing himself in the groin repeatedly with a jumbo souvenir pencil, an inquest heard.

Jeffrey Burton's family and friends were baffled by his bizarre death, which was recorded as an open verdict because there was no evidence he was trying to commit suicide.

Mr Burton, 57, was found by police in a blood-soaked room in his house in St Leonards, East Sussex, on September 27.

Worried neighbours raised the alarm after they were unable to get hold of him.

When police broke into his house they found Mr Burton lying on his back, wearing only his underpants.

The room was splattered with blood and music was still playing on his stereo. The giant blood-covered pencil was beside him.

He had a deep gash in his upper thigh.

East Sussex coroner Alan Craze told the Hastings inquest: "It's a mystery to me. If you were choosing to take your own life, that's not the way you would do it.

"It seems to me that it can't have been a single stab wound. He seems to have worked on it. The pencil was blunt."

Mr Burton's sister Patricia Goodell told the hearing the pencil had sentimental value to her brother as it once belonged to their late mother. The inquest heard Mr Burton had suffered a single psychotic episode in 2006 but when he died he was sociable and healthy and looking forward to a holiday. He had never tried to commit suicide before and did not leave a note.

Mr Craze said: "It doesn't stack up. Something very strange has gone on. We
will never know what has caused him to create this awful wound."

Jogger dies as plane crash-lands on him


Robert Jones, 38, was struck from behind by the plane. Police said he had been unable to hear the plane because its engine had stalled and he was listening to his iPod.

They said the pilot, Edward Smith, got into difficulties at 3,000ft and oil began spraying on to his windscreen. The propeller then fell off and the single-engined plane began falling from the sky.

They added that with no forwards vision he aimed the aircraft at the nearby beach.

Witness Patrick Murphy, the owner of a beachside bar, said: "It was awful. It was obvious the engine had gone as there was no sound – it was like a glider."

Joheida Fister, a firefighter, added: "The pilot and his passenger were really shaken. I would have to say that it was a very unusual incident."

Mr Smith had tried to make it to the nearby Hilton Head airport in South Carolina, America. But when his windscreen became smeared and he lost power he had no choice but to crash-land.

Mr Jones of Woodstock, Georgia, had two children. The name of the plane passenger has not been released. Aviation experts are investigating the cause of Monday evening's crash.

Australija rekla "zbogom" malim grudima. Zene sa malim grudima=pedofili xrotaeye

"Australian Classification Board (ACB) is now banning depictions of small-breasted women in adult publications and films. They banned mainstream pornography from showing women with A-cup breasts, apparently on the grounds that they encourage paedophilia, and in spite of the fact this is a normal breast size for many adult women. Presumably small breasted women taking photographs of themselves will now be guilty of creating simulated child pornography, to say nothing of the message this sends to women with modestly sized chests or those who favour them. Australia has also banned pornographic depictions of female ejaculation, a normal orgasmic sexual response in many women, with censors branding it as 'abhorrent.'"

Girl With No Vagina Gets Pregnant By Being Stabbed In The Stomach While Blowing Her Boyfriend

ABC News – A strange tale of oral sex, a knife fight and the most unlikely of pregnancies recently brought to light by the blogosphere has doctors touting the triumphant persistence of sperm. In 1988, a 15-year-old girl living in the small southern African nation of Lesotho came to local doctors with all the symptoms of a woman in labor. But the doctors were quickly puzzled because, upon examination, she didn't have a vagina. Her birth defect didn't necessarily surprise doctors, but her pregnancy did. Even the 15-year-old girl could not believe she was pregnant. Yet by looking at her records the hospital staff realized the young woman was in the hospital 278 days earlier with a knife wound to her stomach. The average pregnancy lasts 280 days. After interviews, they gathered that "Just before she was stabbed in the abdomen she had practiced fellatio with her new boyfriend and was caught in the act by her former lover. The fight with knives ensued." The girl arrived at the hospital with an empty stomach — and therefore with little stomach acid around — and doctors found two holes from a stab wound that opened her stomach up to her abdominal cavity. The case report said doctors washed her stomach out with a salt solution and stitched her up. "A plausible explanation for this pregnancy is that spermatozoa gained access to the reproductive organs via the injured gastrointestinal tract," the authors wrote.

 left him skint and he was finding it hard to get back on his feet." The
 Bridgnorth, Shrops, England, man won 9 million pounds (then US$17.1
 million) in the lottery in 2005. He quit his job and spent the winnings
 lavishly, buying an executive box at a racetrack, betting on the
 horses, and throwing parties -- lots of parties. He lost 700,000 pounds
 (US$1.3 million) to a con artist, and the rest went to a full-time
 gardener, a chauffeur, and "flash cars" (including a 60,000 pound BMW).
 But once it was all gone, the stress led to a fatal heart attack.

The shooting happened at 4:35 a.m. in the 7300 block of South Calumet Avenue, according to police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.

The 39-year-old victim was walking down the street when he realized he had been shot. The bullet knocked a tooth out, but did not penetrate the man's mouth and he was able to spit the bullet out, Kubiak said.

It was unclear what caliber weapon was used in the shooting.

The man was taken to Jackson Park Hospital and Medical Center in "stable" condition, police said. No description of the offender was available as of early Monday afternoon.

After it jumped into his mouth, the fish made its way inside the trader's lungs. He started choking and he nearly died. He probably would have were it not for the final team of doctors who found the fish inside of his lungs and extricated it.

First, two separate teams of doctors in different hospitals passed him off to other hospitals to give the extrication a go.

To finally remove the fish from his lungs, a complicated procedure, doctors had to work on Mohamad for over an hour.

Neki ljudi naprosto imaju vise srece nego mi ostali.

QuoteMaybe the odds of winning the lottery would be a lot better if Joan Ginther would stop buying all the good tickets.

By now you may have heard of the Las Vegas resident, who you probably want sitting next to you when an asteroid, slungshot by aliens, is aimed at your plane. She recently cashed in a winning $10 million scratch-off ticket, making the lucky woman a four-time lottery winner.

That's right, four times. And while she now lives in Sin City thereabouts, the multi-millionaire prefers her to buy her tickets in her home state of Texas. The state, like many others, is on track to having one of its best lottery years ever during tough economic times...and that might be a bad thing. But, more on that later. First, a look at Ginther's lottery loot so far, and the odds:

•1993: $5.4 million (paid in yearly installments). Odds: 1 in 15.8 million
•2006: $2 million (lump-sum payoff). Odds: 1 in 1,028,338.
•2008: $3 million (lump-sum payoff). Odds: 1 in 909,000.
•2010: $10 million (lump-sum payoff). Odds: 1 in 1,200,000.


What are the odds?
Amazingly, she's not the only winner who has defied long odds: A Canadian man has scored five jackpots in five years, although he had to sue to get the last—and biggest—prize of $17 million in 2009.

What are the total odds for four multi-million-dollar payoffs? Michael Starbird, a University of Texas at Austin math professor who has written a book on coincidence and other mathematical quirks, calculates the odds of a four-time winner to come up with this answer: "It's pretty astronomical...She should quit, incidentally."

However, he did say the odds of a four-time win was less likely than being hit by lightning, but that a would-be lottery player standing in line for tickets next to her shouldn't feel tempted to nudge her out of the way. "Probabilities don't have any memory. She's no more likely to win the lottery (again) than anybody else. She has exactly the same likelihood as you or I have."

Sharing the wealth?
The Las Vegas woman has spread her luck: Two winning tickets, including the latest whopper, came from Times Market in Bishop, Texas — and retailers get a $10,000 bonus for every big win. Store owner Sun Bae sold her two winning scratch-offs, which makes Sun the person you want next to you when you're holding a metal umbrella during a lightning storm while standing atop the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokull.

The store's not the only beneficiary of a winning ticket: According to Texas Lottery spokesperson Bobby Heith, the Lone Star State gets a 25% upfront cut, and lottery proceeds overall go towards education. That news might cheer up Texas, which faces an $18 billion deficit—or, it might just add fuel to the controversial proposal to expand gambling as a budget fix.

Lottery: Do states win?
As the fiscal year ends for many states, Texas isn't the only one to announce lottery proceeds rising in tough times. Across the United States, the recession is actually fueling lottery sales. Searches on Yahoo! spike with alarming regularity every week, and especially before a big payoff. Consider:

•Illinois: $2.2 billion in gross sales, about 5 percent higher than last year.
•Kentucky: $213.5 million from 2009-2010 sales, and the Bluegrass State expects a little more for the next fiscal year.
•Missouri: The goal to raise $250 million for education was surpassed by another $5 million. Proceeds were down, but partly because Arkansas started its own scholarship lottery.
•North Carolina: Transferred a total of $419.5 million to the State Education Lottery Fund — during a time of record high unemployment, the North Carolina Family Policy Council reported.
•Texas: According to lottery media relations director Heith, sales are up 2.2% from last year, with an expected $3.7 billion coming in when the state's fiscal year closes in August.


Another tax you can't afford?
So, is a lottery payoff a win win for everyone? Here's the downside: The odds are still way against you.

"The unfortunate increase in hard economic times is indicative of desperation," Starbird observes. "The sad thing about the lottery is that the people who do spend money on the lottery are people who can't afford it well." If a lottery buy's purely for entertainment  — for instance, getting a scratcher rather than a full-price movie ticket, that's another story.

But, as for investing in a chance to win? Says Starbird, "The lottery is a tax on the mathematically impaired." Just don't tell the lady from Las Vegas.

Local student finds all U.S. presidents related except one (Santa Cruz Sentinel)


SANTA CRUZ -- A Salinas girl on a quest to trace her own family has discovered a common ancestor for every American president except one.

Using her grandfather's genealogy database, BridgeAnne d'Avignon, 12, a seventh-grade student at Monte Vista Christian School in Watsonville, has found that every president except eighth president Martin Van Buren is descended from King John of England.

King John is famous as the villain of Robin Hood tales, but also for signing the Magna Carta in 1215, a document that helped formed the British Parliament, and is often considered the forebear of American democracy. Van Buren is descended from the Dutch. BridgeAnne believes no one has ever traced presidential ancestries as far back as 1166.

BridgeAnne, who started the project at age 10, spent her summer finishing it and has created a poster of the lineages that she would like to present to President Barack Obama, who she believes is her 18th cousin and is descended from King John "Lackland" Plantagenet through his mother's family.

BridgeAnne spent the weekend, including Monday, President's Day, selling autographed posters at Borders bookstore in downtown Santa Cruz. She thinks the common link of British royalty is no surprise.

"They all have the trait of wanting power," she said.

The exercise, which she did with her grandfather, Sam Wattles of Rosamond, taught her that "historical facts can be proven true." Her grandfather has been studying genealogy for 60 years.

She's selling replicas of her poster, the U.S. Presidents' Family Tree Chart, to help raise $10,000 to travel to Washington to hand deliver the project to the president. The poster has Obama in the middle, with a ring of 42 other presidents, listing who they are descended from. So far, she's sold 18 posters and has created a webpage for her work, weareallrelated.com. If she has her way, it may not be her last trip to Washington D.C.

"I want to be the first woman president, or wherever life leads me," she said.
"A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come."

Jao!

Snimanje porno filmova uopšte nije lak posao. Zna to dobro zvezda filmova za odrasle Prince Yahshua koji je doživeo nesreću na radu. Naime, obdareni glumac slomio je penis.

Njegovi poslodavci izjavili su da je Prince doživeo nezgodu dok je snimao scenu s mladom porno glumicom Bethany Benz. Ona je sedela na Princeu leđima okrenuta njegovom licu i tokom žestoke akcije penis je ispao iz vagine i zabio se u njenu karličnu kost. Glumac je povredio uretru i karlicu, a takva se ozleda inače naziva lom penisa.

Nesretni Prince hitno je odvezen u bolnicu gde su ga lekari operisali, a nakon nekog vremena pušten je na kućnu negu. "Bilo je strašno. U jednom trenutku ona sedi na meni, njiše se i sve je u redu, a već u drugom trenutku iz mog penisa šiklja krv. Užasno čudan i neugodna situacija", ispričao je porno glumac medijima. Njegovo lečenje još uvek traje, a na set bi trebalo da se vrati za oko tri meseca.

Nije baš weird, više je AWESOME:

'Death ray' at Vegas hotel pool heats up guests

QuoteLas Vegas has a new hot spot — but it's not a nightclub.

Guests at the new Vdara Hotel & Spa have complained that the glass skyscraper can magnify and reflect the sun's rays onto an area of the pool at temperatures hot enough to singe hair or melt plastic drink cups. It's a phenomenon that some hotel employees call the Vdara "death ray," the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Bill Pintas, a Chicago lawyer and businessman, recently told the newspaper that he was sunning himself by the pool Sept. 16 when he became so uncomfortably hot that he had to move.

"I was effectively being cooked," Pintas said. "I started running as fast as I could without looking like a lunatic."

Pintas said that he smelled an odor and realized a bit of his hair had been burned. He sought refuge at the pool's bar area, where he described what happened to hotel employees. "Yes, we call it the death ray," he says they told him.

Gordon Absher, a spokesman for MGM Resorts International, which owns the Vdara, said that he prefers the term "hot spot" or "solar convergence."

"Because of the curved, concave shape of that hotel, they sometimes get isolated pockets of high temperatures," Absher told ABC News. He added that designers foresaw the issue and thought they had solved it by installing a high-tech film on the hotel's glass windows to reduce the effect.

Currently, the convergence affects only a small portion of the pool deck for about 90 minutes around noon, Absher said.

He added that the hotel is working on a solution to the problem, such as putting in a row of thick umbrellas, shade structures or maybe some large plants. But due to the changing of the seasons and the Earth's rotation, the position of the hotel's "hot spot" changes every day.

"The sun is constantly moving, not only across the sky during the day, but it changes with the seasons," he said. "We're dealing with a moving target."

He also noted that this was the hotel's first summer of operation and that he's confident the hotel will find a solution to the problem. "We're just trying to create a pleasant, relaxing pool experience for our guests," he said.

Vdara, which has a unique crescent design, opened in December 2009 at CityCenter.
