[An Nahar] A central Florida man who weighs about 450 pounds faces multiple charges after sheriff's deputies say he hid cocaine and 23 grams of marijuana under his "stomach fat."
According to a new release, a Volusia County sheriff's deputy stopped a vehicle Friday after noticing that the passenger wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
Officials say 42-year-old Christopher Mitchell told the deputy that he's too big to wear a seatbelt. The deputy says he requested a drug-detecting dog because Mitchell and the driver appeared nervous. The dog detected the presence of drugs in the vehicle.
In addition to the drugs on Mitchell, deputies say they also found a handgun and $7,000 in cash in the vehicle.
Mitchell and the driver were jugged You have the right to remain silent... . It was not clear whether Mitchell has an attorney.

Is that your Ripple hiding behind your ripple ?
[An Nahar] A man with a realistic-looking tattoo of a gun on his stomach had the real thing tucked into his waistband when he was tossed in the clink You have the right to remain silent... , police said.
Police told the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1p2LHWq ) that 41-year-old Michael Smith, of Norridgewock, showed up at a sheriff's deputy's home Thursday night. He was crying and had been drinking, authorities said.
Smith told police he had a fight with his ex-girlfriend and had stolen prescription narcotics from her, authorities said.
He was charged with stealing drugs, and his gun was confiscated. He was released from jail on $1,000 bail. His phone has been disconnected, and he couldn't be reached for comment.
Madison police Officer Eric Bronson said Smith was carrying a .40-caliber Glock but isn't facing any gun charges because Maine is an open-carry state and his weapon was visible.
Smith's next court date is Aug. 6.

[AJC] A northwest Georgia woman is accused of damaging and flooding a stranger's home -- while naked. It would be a different story entirely had she known the person whose house she flooded...
Around 6:40 p.m. Friday, a Calhoun-area homeowner reported she'd returned home to find her home vandalized "My Tupperwear!"
and a naked woman inside, the Gordon County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday. "Hello? 911? There's a naked woman in my house! She's doing unspeakable things to my Tupperwear!"
Deputies searched the Nelson Lake Road home, "You take the bedroom, Bob! Lew, you check the garage! I'll have a look in the closets!"
where they found the suspect hiding in a closet, Sheriff Mitch Ralston said. "Stick 'em up, lady! No, not those! Yer hands!"
The suspect, Suzanne Hussain, 34, lives about seven miles away and didn't know the homeowner, Ralston said. "Have we been introduced?"
"Ms. Hussain was in fact nude, "Nude" is reclining, wearing nothing but a smile and perhaps a dab of perfume. Nekkid is different.
and was acting abnormally, She was nekkid, in the closet of a stranger. That's kind of abnormal by definition, isn't it?
but was taken into custody without further incident," Ralston posted on the sheriff's office website. "I'll keep her covered, Bob. You put the cuffs on her!"
"The house was extensively damaged, including having been flooded." "Flooded?"
"I really hadda pee," she answered.
Paramedics were called to scene to evaluate Hussain, "Hmmm... Pulse is 78. Temp is 98.6. BP is 122/80..."
"Anything else?"
"Well, she's nekkid."
who was then transported to Gordon Hospital, where she was treated and released, "Nurse McClosky, find her something to wear. Then tell her to get the hell outta my emergency room!"
the Sheriff's Office said. Upon release from the hospital, Hussain was nabbed Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! , charged with burglary and criminal damage to property and booked into the Gordon County jail, Ralston said. "I almost didn't recognize her with her clothes on, Bob!"
Hussain remained in jail Tuesday afternoon awaiting a bond amount, Ralston said. She was also being held on a probation violation for a prior charge of possession of methamphetamine, jail records showed.

[Washington Post] ATHENS, Greece -- A self-described Satanist has been incarcerated Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! in Greece on suspicion of ritually killing a homeless woman in an Athens public square and planning a second murder for this weekend's summer solstice, police said Tuesday.
A police statement said the 22-year-old Greek suspect confessed to killing the woman with a heavy stone during a pre-dawn "ritual Satanist ceremony" in the seaside Glyfada suburb.
Police said the suspect had been working alone, and did not appear to be linked with any organized group.
The 41-year-old woman was found dead on April 20, Orthodox Easter Sunday, with severe head injuries. A nearby bench had been daubed in blood with Satanist insignia.
The statement said the suspect was arrested Monday, also in Glyfada. It said police identified him by references to the killing on social media, DNA analysis and a fingerprint on a plastic bag containing the murder weapon, found in a nearby bin.
The suspect allegedly told police that he had intended to carry out another ritual killing on Saturday, the day of the summer solstice, but it was unclear whether or not he had selected a prospective victim.

[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] An Indian teenager is worshipped as a god because he has a 7ins 'tail'.
Arshid Ali Khan, 13, has become a divine symbol in the state of Punjab.
Locals have hailed him a reincarnation of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman - and refer to him as Balaji.
However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... Arshid has to use a wheelchair and he is considering having the 'tail' removed.
He said: 'This tail has been given to me by God. I am worshipped because I pray to god and the wishes of people come true.
Mr Qureshi, a music instructor, said: 'When he spoke for the first time at the age of one all he spoke was the names of Gods from different religions.
'It was that day I realised that he had something divine and godly about him.'
He added: 'It does not matter whether we are Moslems or Hindus, I think there is just one path for spiritualism.'
Arshid's home has been converted into a temple where his devotees come to visit him to receive his blessings and touch his 'tail'.
'A lot of people's wishes have come true after they have visited,' claimed Mr Qureshi.
'Sometimes there are childless couples who come to Balaji for help. He blesses them, and often they are then able to conceive.'
However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... Arshid often struggles to balance his time with his faithful devotees and attending school and playing with his friends.
He said: 'Mostly on weekdays I have to go to school but when I have a school holiday on Sunday around 20 to 30 people come to see me at my home.'
He added: 'No one teases me. Everybody wants to see my tail and so they keep asking.'

Sgt. Seth Weinstein, sorry buddy, but on the outset your action seems cruel, knowing your job to monitor all the public's safety is difficult at times, well, I bet you will be cleared.
[An Nahar] Sudanese jailers removed the chains from a Christian woman, sentenced to death for apostasy, after she gave birth in prison last month, one of her lawyers said Tuesday.
The case of Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag sparked an outcry from Western governments and rights groups after a judge sentenced her on May 15 to hang.
Born to a Mohammedan father, she was convicted under Islamic sharia law that has been in force in Sudan since 1983 and outlaws conversions on pain of death.

[Iran Press TV] Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner says her country refuses to go along with a US judge's ruling requiring a USD 1.5 billion repayment of defaulted bonds.
Argentina cannot pay the disputed bonds in full but is still willing to remain at the negotiating table, said the president during a national address Monday night.
The statement came hours after the US Supreme Court refused to hear Argentina's appeal and left the order in place.

[An Nahar] A Turkish magazine fined for publishing comments from banned Kurdish separatist group the PKK won a victory Tuesday when the European Court of Human Rights ruled that its right to freedom of expression had been breached.
The pro-Kurdish Dema Nu was hit by a number of judicial proceedings after publishing articles quoting the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
The party, which is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by Turkey and much of the international community, launched an insurgency seeking self-rule in the southeast in 1984.

[Iran Press TV] The Spanish Senate has approved King Juan Carlos's abdication, clearing the path for his son to accede to the throne. The legislation to pass the throne to Crown Prince Felipe was approved on Tuesday by the ruling conservative Popular Party and the main opposition Socialists.
The law will be formally ratified by King Carlos on Wednesday and 46-year-old Filipe will be proclaimed king at a ceremony in the parliament on Thursday. Lawmakers of the country's lower house approved the abdication on June 11.
It will be the first royal succession of the post-Franco era. Seventy-six-year-old Carlos says he is stepping down after a four-decade reign so that younger royal blood can deal with the country's economic problems.
As the new King, Felipe has to restore the monarchy's image after his father fell out of public opinion in 2012 as he took a secret luxury elephant-hunting trip to Botswana at the time one in four Spanish workers was jobless and the government was teetering on the brink of default.

[BIGSTORY.AP.ORG] Canada's government on Tuesday approved a controversial pipeline proposal that would bring oil to the Pacific Coast for shipment to Asia, a major step in the country's efforts to diversify its oil exports if it can overcome fierce opposition from environmental and aboriginal groups.
Approval for Enbridge's Northern Gateway project was expected as Canada needs infrastructure in place to export its growing oil sands production. The project's importance has only grown since the U.S. delayed a decision on TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline that would take oil from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The northern Alberta region has the world's third largest oil reserves, with 170 billion barrels of proven reserves.
Enbridge's pipeline would transport 525,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta's oil sands to the Pacific to deliver oil to Asia, mainly energy-hungry China. About 220 large oil tankers a year would visit the Pacific coast town of Kitimat and opponents fear pipeline leaks and a potential tanker spill on the pristine Pacific coast.

The oil's gonna go somewhere.
I'm betting that if this goes thru, it will suddenly be OK to tanker the oil to California, because they need power and everything. Whereas, if Keystone was built, a lot of common people would be using it.

Another Obama success. What a great story this guy is. Are we ready to impeach him yet? Even Biden isn't this bad.

This is a great victory for the American environmentalists. Instead of being sent to America where the oil would be refined and burned under modern pollution controls, it will now be sent to China where it will be refined and burned with no pollution controls whatsoever. Victory is ours! Woo woo!
Plus, not having the Keystone pipeline is good for certain railroads, as we have already discussed. Pity about the train wrecks on that dilapidated rail infrastructure, though.

As we watch Iraq go up in flames, Syria continue its internal slaughter, Libya to devolve, Somalia to sputter, Congo to slaughter, Putin to plunder, and a dozen other flash points in the world brew up, here's one more. China and India don't like each other, and with all the other adults in the world focused on other issues, this one may take on new life.
The new BJP government is keen to send out a strong signal to Beijing regarding border disputes by nearly doubling the deployment of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel on the India-China frontier. Top government sources said the ITBP will very soon have more boots on the ground to effectively guard the border that has witnessed several Chinese incursions in the past few years. The previous UPA government was often criticised for being "soft" on the issue of Chinese incursions.
The Home Ministry has approved the construction of 54 new border outposts along the disputed frontier with China. A proposal in this regard was made by the ITBP before the polls but the previous government did not go ahead on it.
With the new outposts, the number of troops on the ground too will increase. Currently, there are close to 40 outposts and nearly 15,000 troops guard the sensitive zones. Sources said the number could now go up to 30,000. "There were critical gaps regarding security on the China border that need to be filled up," said a senior Home Ministry official.
"The increase in deployment should not be construed as an aggressive approach on our part. We are only securing out territory," a top government official said.
After getting approval for the new border outposts, ITBP is drawing up a detailed report on troop deployment in critical zones. The road map for intensifying the vigil in border areas will soon be submitted to the Home Ministry, after which additional forces will be deployed.
Soon after taking charge, Minster of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju had stressed upon the need for enhancing forces, improving infrastructure and modernising the ITBP to secure the border with China. Minister of State for Environment Prakash Javadekar said last week that the government is working to fast-track clearance of infrastructure projects in areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). With no roads in high-altitude border areas, patrolling is difficult and the frontier has become vulnerable to Chinese incursions.
The roads project began in 2004 but only about 40 per cent of the work could be completed, sources said. The Environment Ministry was reluctant to give clearances for roads and the Home Ministry was unable to get contractors, thus stalling the project.
"As of now, the first phase of construction is not over. The project was divided into three to four phases," said an officer in the security establishment. But now things are likely to change as the government is making its intentions clear about strengthening vigil at the frontier.
There is an urgent need to upgrade the ITBP, which has to match the modern weaponry of the Chinese forces. As part of a mega police-modernisation plan, ITBP was sanctioned Rs.265 crore for the period between 2012 and 2017. Alarmingly, the force has not got a single penny under this plan. According to the plan, the ITBP should have received Rs.150 crore till March 2014.

The problem for the Indians is that they still haven't got their act together. The Chinese are focused and certainly give the impression, they do have their act together. Just follow StrategyPage on the Indian development and procurement programs to get the tone of the corruption problem.
[Pak Daily Times] ALUTHGAMA: Police called off a rally by a hardline Buddhist organization on Tuesday to stop the sectarian festivities between Buddhists and Moslems from spreading, official said.
The festivities have killed three and maimed 80 in southern Sri Lanka since Sunday. The hurriedly organized rally by hardline group Bodu Bala Sena ( BBS) or Buddhist Task Force was to have been held in Mawanella, a town near Aluthgama and Beruwala that have been under a police curfew since Sunday evening. "Mawanella Police has obtained a Court order against a proposed rally by BBS," Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Piyalal Disanayake told news hounds.
However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... there were reports that BBS supporters had distributed leaflets to residents in the Mawanella town, urging them to meet near the town clock tower and participate in the rally, which would contravene the Court order. Residents noted a heighted police and army presence in the area to disperse any crowds gathering for a meeting that could lead to more violence. In Beruwala and Aluthgama where the festivities were at their worst, the army with assistance from police special forces combed the area, gathering makeshift weapons including two swords, over 15 petrol bombs, about 50 wooden clubs and iron rods. The crude weapons were later taken into police custody.
Subsequently, the army and police together with Buddhist priests ventured into the villages, holding small meetings to foster awareness and impose calm on the still tense situation. "We are trying to make the people on both sides understand the futility of what they are doing. Rumors are running amok and further incensing the people so we are trying to make them act with restraint. The situation is now much calmer," Army General U. Madiwela told Xinhua. Sporadic unrest erupted in the southern Sri Lankan towns on Tuesday that have been under police curfew since communal festivities erupted between Moslems and Buddhists resulting in three deaths and 80 injuries when a Buddhist shop was set on fire.
On Tuesday morning police curfew that had been imposed on the towns of Aluthgama and Beruwala on Sunday evening were lifted for four hours to allow residents to stock up on essential supplies including food. People were moving freely around town despite a heavy army and police presence in the area. "About an hour before the curfew was due to be re-imposed a mob suddenly materialized out of nowhere and torched a Buddhist owned shop in Dharga town," eyewitnesses told Xinhua. Police Special Forces mobilized quickly to disperse the mob, they said, adding that the town itself remains under heavy lockdown by police and army with media being cautioned from entering the area.

Army Staff Sergeant Cory Schroeder was told by University of Wyoming's (UW) student government that he would not be allowed to say the Pledge of Allegiance before its meetings because it could offend international students.
Schroeder was newly elected in May as a senator in the Associated Students of the University of Wyoming (ASUW) government to serve for the upcoming school year. He has been in the Army for over six years and completed a tour of duty in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
Schroeder became upset when he realized the meetings did not open with the option of saying the Pledge.
"Multiple senators working towards their big boy/girl "D" designator, I assume.
sat me down and said it was a 'very touchy subject' and 'we don't want to offend anybody,'" Schroeder told Campus Reform.
According to Robert's Rules of Order, which the student government follows, time may be taken out at the beginning to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead of saying the Pledge, however, ASUW's mission statement is read aloud, which includes striving for "accurate representation" and "responsible effective leadership". Looks like RRO needs an Order of Kumbaya?
#1
I expect it is OFFENSIVE to "international students" who come to the United States to study in OUR Universities to meet and communicate with actual Americans who even KNOW the Pledge of Allegiance. And don't you wish that YOU had such Legislators of such deep courage that they would cringe and grovel in front of foreigners and perhaps even "bow" to them as our President does. ( a Proud American himself ).
Gee , I wish I lived in Wyoming where I could grovel and bow like a real American.

That this happened at the Univ of Wyoming should give us all pause about the depth of the rot we face in academia, which has produced essentially a generation that cannot seem to reason, understand causality, and overcome learned political correctness to see common sense. Its our fucking country, so saying the pledge for citizens is a reaffirmation of their respect and love for it. Not American, shut up and enjoy your thoughts. Choose to take offense , please leave on the next flight!
