[Straits Times] Russian police have incarcerated a man who confessed to murdering and eating another man he met through a gay personals website, Sherlocks said on Monday.
The 21-year-old man was incarcerated on Friday, several days after human remains were found in the Far North city of Murmansk, an official at the regional branch of the Investigative Committee told AFP.
According to Sherlocks, the suspect said he had met a 32-year-old man through the Internet and inviting him to his house, where he stabbed him to death.
'Having confirmed that the man is dead, he dismembered the body and ate the human remains,' the Investigative Committee said in a statement.

Thanks to the Soviet secrecy policies, a serial killer got away with 62 murders and the public was never alerted. (Sorry, I do not recall the original reference)
Will the present apparatchiki investigate other missing persons cases in light of this event?
...Finally, China energetically uses the "thousand grains of sand" approach to espionage. This involves China trying to get all Chinese going overseas, and those of Chinese ancestry living outside the motherland, to spy for China, if only a tiny bit....
A French NATO jet collided with a Lithuanian training plane during an exercise today, causing the Lithuanian plane to crash. The Lithuanian pilots of the Czech-made L39 training plane, of which Lithuania has only now one two, safely ejected. A spokesman for the French embassy said the French Mirage jet landed safely.
The incident happened over the Siauliai airbase in northern Lithuania, the base of the NATO mission. The Lithuanian plane crashed in a bog around 16 km from the base.
Housing approvals are third largest handed out to any single settlement since the end of the 10- month moratorium on new construction.
The Defense Ministry has approved the construction of 100 new homes in the Beit Aryeh settlement as well NIS 6 million in compensation for monetary loses due to the construction of a bypass road between that community and the nearby one of Ofarim, according to the Beit Aryeh Regional Council head Avi Naim.
Beit Aryeh is located 3.8 km. from the pre-1967 line and is located within the boundaries of the security barrier.
The housing approvals are the third largest handed out to any single settlement since the end of the 10- month moratorium on new construction in September 2010. It follows on the heels of approval of 294 housing units for the Betar Illit settlement and 277 for the Ariel settlement.
Psychological counseling and medications have been most commonly given to victims of posttraumatic stress disorder who experience a traumatic event. But now, magnetic stimulation of the brain has been found in preliminary trials at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalems Ein Kerem to alleviate PTSD.
The hospitals psychiatry department teamed up with Jerusalems Brainsway company, which initiated and funded the study of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (DTMS).
The painless, non-invasive treatment is also being used against bipolar (manicdepressive) disorder and other psychiatric problems. According to Hadassah, results of the DTMS treatment show so far that it is effective and safe in treating PTSD, whose symptoms include reliving the event, thus disturbing daily routines; repeated nightmares; strong, uncomfortable reactions to situations that remind victims of trauma of the event; emotional numbing; a feeling of detachment and lacking a future; avoiding places, people or thoughts that remind them of the event; difficulty concentrating; irritability; and sleep problems, among others. The magnetic signals cause electrical changes that wake up brain neurons, the psychiatrists explain.
According to surveys, seven percent of the general population in Israel suffers from PTSD an accumulation of suffering resulting from the Holocaust through terror attacks, road accidents, wars and other events.
The technique has been used for about a decade on people with depression, but the Brainsway device allowed stimulation of larger and deeper sections of the cerebral cortex.
The technique deals with the needs of people suffering from serious or resistant aspects of the syndrome, explained Hadassahs Dr. Moshe Isserles, who heads the team. The problem is that for a significant number of sufferers, medications and psychological care arent effective enough, and many symptoms remain.
Thirty patients volunteered to take part and were divided into three groups: The first received DTMS after a short recall of the traumatic event; the second received the magnetic treatment without recalling the event; and a third received a placebo treatment without magnets. after recalled the trauma.
Data on 26 patients who received at least eight treatments each were analyzed according to the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale. An objective analysis showed that the first group improved significantly, with less improvement in the second group. The benefits continued from the beginning of treatment until it ended, and the improvement remained so two months after that. In the patients who received a placebo, there was no decline in symptoms.
Isserles explained that the number of nightmares, flashbacks, overstimulation and avoidance declined significantly, while moods and functions improved.
This was the first study of its type in DTMS; very few studies on the effects of magnetic signals have included not only the stimulation but also recollection of the trauma, he said.
Many studies identified reduced brain activity in a certain region of frontal cerebra; cortex and increased activity in the amygdala (responsible, among other things, for reactions to fear). Using DTMS can help reduce exaggerated fears that are the basis for PTSD, concluded Isserles, who will expand the clinical work.

Well, well, Maggie Flowers - she still looks pretty good after all these years. Glad to see the Babe-chasing = pre-GWOT, pre-Jihad Squirrels around Penn State's Old Main didn't catch her.
A coloring book depicts scenes from 9/11 and the killing of Osama bin Laden. Its publisher has given it a PG rating, saying children 10 and younger probably should use it with adult supervision. But some Muslims believe "We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids' Book of Freedom" is inappropriate for any child because it reinforces anti-Muslim stereotypes.
Wayne Bell, publisher of Really Big Coloring Books Inc., said the 36-page "graphic novel" should help meet a demand by parents and teachers to explain the attacks and their aftermath as the 10th anniversary of the attack approaches.
The book begins with bin Laden planning the attacks and ends with a Navy SEAL shooting bin Laden as he hides behind a Muslim woman. Bell said the book is tame compared with video games.
Bell said, "It's a generic black-and-white coloring book with tender language for the children and their parents. It's designed as a teaching and learning tool, and it's a memorial tribute to the families of 9/11."
But Amina Sharif, communications director for the Chicago chapter of the CAIR, said the book depicts the events in a "slanted" way, painting Muslims in broad strokes and not distinguishing extremist radicals from the majority of Muslims.
Sharif said, "It's hateful, inflammatory and completely inappropriate for children or anyone for that matter."
Bell said the book simply depicts the facts: Muslim extremists were responsible for the attacks.
"The book itself has nothing to do with the Muslim faith. It talks about the radical Islamist jihadist Osama bin Laden and his 19 terrorists and what they do to America," Bell stated.

"[S]ome Muslims believe "We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids' Book of Freedom" is inappropriate for any child because it reinforces anti-Muslim stereotypes."
Historical accounts reinforce "anti-Muslim stereotypes"? That's kind of an important feature. How long are we supposed to pretend that we thinkpeople like Sharif are just stupid?
