An armed robber who held up a babysitter at gunpoint in Lower Saxony was shamed into leaving empty-handed by the two young children of the house who offered him their pocket money. The man had rung the doorbell of the house in the northern town of Schwanewede near Bremen on Monday evening, and forced his way in. Wearing a balaclava and a long black coat, the man had the terrified babysitter at gunpoint when the children she was looking after, came downstairs. When they offered him their savings, he was obviously overcome with shame and left the house without a word – or a cent. “The children had heard what was going on from upstairs and came down with their money, all their ...

The grant would have helped pay for the first phase of the "Center for Excellence" at The Second Mile, which Mr. Sandusky, a former ...

Alarming Info in BP Oil Spill - Toxicology Report
Post Date: 2011-11-15 03:30:44 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
NEW ORLEANS (CN) - A toxicology report relating to a sick oil spill cleanup worker claims the operation in which BP and the Coast Guard set the massive slick on fire was characterized by secrecy, including a threat to shoot down a news helicopter. The report also says most of the oiled birds found during the spill were euthanized rather than rehabilitated. Toxicologist Patricia Williams' report relates to Malcolm Coco, who worked for BP from May 14 to Sept. 2, 2010 as a Boat Igniter Operator, lighting the gigantic slick of oil from BP's failed Macondo well on fire. Williams, who has a Ph.D. in anatomy from the Tulane University School of Medicine, wrote the report for Coco's ...

Call it an occupational hazard, but I can't look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters without thinking, "Who parented these people?" As a culture columnist, I've commented on the social and political ramifications of the "movement" - now known as "OWS" - whose fairyland agenda can be summarized by one of their placards: "Everything for everybody." Thanks to their pipe-dream platform, it's clear there are people with serious designs on "transformational" change in America who are using the protesters like bedsprings in a brothel. Yet it's not my role as a commentator that prompts my parenting question, but rather the fact ...

Weakening demand and an influx of hard up prostitutes from across Europe has impacted prices and job prospects for the increasingly idle sex workers plying their trade in Norway. Sex workers touting services from camper vans, hotel rooms and private flats are feeling the pinch and complain that there are too many women working in the Norwegian market. “I have not worked in Norway long, but in the past week there have not been many customers,” said a 22-year-old French woman to the Dagbladet daily, adding, “The prices for sex services are being dumped and the market is very bad.” The Norwegian sex market is described as “mobile” with the women of organized ...
Drunk drivers get shorter sentences than sober ones in serious accidents

Sober drivers who injure another person in traffic often receive longer prison sentences than drunk drivers, according to new research from the Swedish National Road and Transport Institute Researchers have investigated court rulings from 1990 to 2005 involving involuntary manslaughter, wrongful injury, or causing danger to others. The reason for drunk drivers' milder punishments is not clear, according to the scientists behind the study. "But maybe when you've been driving under the influence and get into trouble, you get yourself a better lawyer," said scientist Mohammad-Reza Yahya to newspaper Östgöta Correspondenten.

Tomato juice tastes 'plane' better at high altitude says scientist

Nearly a quarter of people who drink tomato juice while flying say they only like it while sitting in a plane. Why? A German scientist has discovered the red stuff actually does taste different at high altitudes. Foodwatch says cholesterol-reducing margarine needs pharmacist approval A survey conducted for the www.lastminute.de holiday booking website showed that 23 percent of those who order tomato juice during a flight told pollsters it was, “because I suddenly like the taste when in a plane” but that they would never drink it on the ground. Just over half – 56 percent – said they liked tomato juice wherever they were, while 15 percent said they did not know why ...

British soldiers stationed across Germany are preparing to leave in as soon as a few months, after the UK Ministry of Defence on Thursday released details of its mass withdrawal of forces from the country. Around 1,800 troops will be relocated to sites in the United Kingdom starting in January, a statement from the British Ministry of Defence said. The strategic defence review announced last October that half of the nearly 20,000 British troops currently stationed in Germany would return by 2015, with the rest leaving by 2020. Details of army base moves announced on Thursday included the departure of the 7 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps from Bielefeld to Cottesmore, Leicestershire, ...
Cast Iron Pan - 5 myths explained

Cooking with cast iron pans can be tricky. They're heavy and rust easily. But they last forever (if properly treated) and also retain heat longer, making them an ideal pan to keep food warm. That's why people love them. But a quick Internet search on how to correctly cook and clean these pans turns up loads of contradictory information. Some say to always clean the pan with soap and others say soap will be the death of your pan. Or perhaps you've been told cooking with a cast iron pan is a good way to absorb iron, however, there are those who believe that the frying pan will add unwanted metals into your food.

Just beautiful: The Strange Phenomena of Starling Murmuration

Poster Comment:Video of a massive starling flock turning and twisting over a river in Ireland has gone viral, and with good reason. Flocking starlings are one of nature’s most extraordinary sights: Just a few hundred birds moving as one is enough to convey a sense of suspended reality, and the flock filmed above the River Shannon contained thousands. What makes possible the uncanny coordination of these murmurations, as starling flocks are so beautifully known? Until recently, it was hard to say. Scientists had to wait for the tools of high-powered video analysis and computational modeling. And when these were finally applied to starlings, they revealed patterns known less from biology ...

A life of crime appears to damage offenders' health once they reach their 40s, new research suggests. Researchers from Cardiff and Texas universities looked at data on 400 men who have been followed since childhood. They found offenders were more likely to be hospitalised and were 13 times more likely to be disabled. The researchers had earlier found better health in their late teens and late 20s among those who had offended when they were young. The findings are published in the journal Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health.

BEIJING - The consumer product giant Unilever said on Thursday that it had recalled and destroyed a batch of Lipton tea bags - one of its branded products - in response to the charge that they contained impurities. It said the product was taken off shelves in August, after an official spot check found it contained excessive residues from heavy metals. "We recalled and destroyed all the products of that batch in August," Unilever said in a statement sent to China Daily. The company received a disqualification notice from the country's top quality watchdog on Aug 5. "We also screened other products and raw materials, and haven't found other batches with the same ...

EW YORK - Faced with the difficult task of balancing a budget in austere times, officials in New York's Suffolk County said on Friday they had no choice: they had to sack Santa Claus. The county executive said he could not justify carving out $660 from his $2.7 billion budget to pay David McKell, 83, a World War II veteran and former homicide detective, to don his Santa suit for the tenth year running and greet children on Long Island. "How do you justify that expenditure when a health centre is losing money?" Steve Levy, the Suffolk County Executive, said in an interview. He said that some 750 county employees were facing layoffs as a result of budget restraints, including ...

Women Who Raped 17 Men Wanted More Than Just Sex

Admit it -- when you hear the term serial rapist, you tend to picture a man, right? But in Zimbabwe, a trio of women in their 20s are being charged for sex attacks of 17 men. When their car was involved in an accident on Friday, police found the women -- Rosemary Chakwizira, 24, Sophie Nhokwara, 26, and her sister, Netsai Nhokwara, 24 -- had a stash of 33 condoms containing semen. Ughhhh. I know! It seems the women had been targeting male hitchhikers over the past two years, either giving them a drink with a tranquilizer or raping them at gunpoint. Terrifying! And 17 men have come forward to positively identify the three women as having raped them, so it's not just like one or two guys ...
