Russian bride-to-be kicks man to death

Moscow - An inebriated 22-year-old woman from the central Russian region of Udmurtiya kicked a man to death on the eve of her wedding because he owed her money, investigators said on Wednesday.
The young woman identified only as Yekaterina M and her fiancée were celebrating their upcoming marriage in a small village in Udmurtiya when a 45-year-old acquaintance called on the couple, regional investigators said.
"The man owed the girl some money but was in no hurry to pay her back," they said in a statement.
"A drunk Katya created a scene and began kicking the debtor right in front of her house," said the statement, referring to the young woman by her diminutive name.
"Her drunk fiancée calmly watched the execution."
The body of the 45-year-old was discovered the next morning. Unperturbed by the turn of events, the couple went to the registry office to marry, but the bride was arrested at her wedding banquet.
If convicted, she faces up to 15 years in prison.

How about the couple in China that hit an old woman after returning from a late night of drinking and karaoke (karaoke is an instrument of the devil). They buried her alive because they didn't want to get arrested for driving under the influence. Later, after they were caught, they stated that the old woman appeared dead. When authorities dug up her body it was clear she had died from asphyxiation.

All this to avoid a DIU. Now they're going to face the death penalty. Stupid people making stupid choices.

(Newser) – A California professor is bringing CSI techniques to the art world: Conrad Rudolph of UC Riverside has obtained funding to apply advanced facial recognition technology to famous paintings like Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, the Guardian reports. Such mystery portraits could finally be identified—if, that is, measurements can match them to other depictions of people in paintings and death masks.


Rudolph also plans to use an "aging" technique to help him match portrait subjects to people painted years later—just as police use it to hunt down suspects or missing persons. Of course, these techniques will depend on the accuracy of the paintings involved: "It is different using this on art rather than an actual human," Rudolph admits. "But we are trying to test the limits of the technology now, and then who knows what advances may happen in the future? This is a fast-moving field."

(Newser) – In February, the Guinness world record for tossing a paper airplane was broken by television producer John Collins, 51. But controversy erupted over the achievement, as Collins, who designed the paper plane, did not throw it himself but instead recruited a brawny 27-year-old college football quarterback named Joe Ayoob to do so. Ayoob now shares the record with Collins after launching the plane 226 feet and 10 inches inside an aircraft hangar, reports the Wall Street Journal.


Guinness officials have no qualms about allowing the airplane engineer to hold the record with a separate thrower, but many diehards and aficionados of the sport are crying foul. "I don't really think that's the spirit of the competition," said the previous-record holder, who threw his plane himself at age 15 in 2003. Energy drink maker Red Bull sponsored a paper airplane competition earlier this month with stricter rules, letting only the thrower receive the credit. In the Olympics, "the coach doesn't get the gold medal," said a Red Bull spokesman.

PERKINS TWP., Ohio (WTVG) -- "When I seen, you know, a hand underneath the dressing room door, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?'"
Nancy Yingling says she feels violated, but also vindicated.
Yingling, 26, was inside the Target on U.S. 250 near Sandusky Tuesday around 7:30 p.m. She was in the changing room, trying on pants. That's when she spotted an I-phone sticking out from underneath a stall. According to police, it was recording her with its camera.
Yingling reached down, grabbed the I-phone and confronted the person on the other side. She says he demanded his phone back and tried to tackle her. Yingling explains she punched the man, closed fist, and knocked him to the ground. She then blocked the exit to the changing room and used her own cell phone to call police
"I kind of like, shoved him off of me and hit him across the face a few times," Yingling tells 13abc. "He went down to the floor and I was still over top of him while he was sitting there. I'm on the phone with the police dispatcher until the police came and arrested him."
Perkins Township Police arrested Zachary Van Zandt, 21. He faces charges of voyeurism and disorderly conduct. Officers were at the store within minutes, but Yingling says she had defend herself and make sure the suspect could not get away.
"To stop this from happening to other women that's been violated or that, you know, have been through this and they didn't even know about it," Yingling added. "You know, hopefully I stopped somebody, and protecting yourself, letting you know it's o.k. to take action."
Van Zandt is scheduled to be arraigned in Sandusky Municipal Court Friday at 9 a.m.

BOXFORD, Mass. (AP) — Police say a roving group of cows crashed a small gathering in a Massachusetts town and bullied the guests for their beer.
Boxford police Lt. James Riter says he was responding to a call for loose cows on Sunday and spotted them in a front yard.


Riter says the herd high-tailed it for the backyard and then he heard screaming. He says when he ran back there he saw the cows had chased off some young adults and were drinking their beers.


Riter says the cows had knocked the beer cans over on a table and were lapping up what spilled. He says they even started rooting around the recycled cans for some extra drops.
Riter says the cows' owner and some friends herded the cows back home.~

I know there is a vid out there I saw one last night, help me people, help me here.

(Newser) – A school district in San Antonio is joining the push to keep kids on an electronic leash of sorts: Northside Independent will implant chips into ID cards so school officials can track students, reports the San Antonio Express-News. The district approved the trial plan this week over the objections of some who raised privacy concerns.
“Parents expect that we always know where their children are, and this technology will help us do that," says a district spokesman. Counters a trustee: "I think this is overstepping our bounds and is inappropriate." School officials also have a financial motive: They say the move will result in more accurate attendance readings—if a kid is at the nurse's office, for instance, he'll still be counted—which in turn will beef up state aid. Two Houston-area districts already have a similar system running and have seen gains in state money.

(Newser) – There's never been a better time to cast a fishing line into the Chesapeake Bay. You just might reel in a striped bass worth $10,000. The fish's name is Diamond Jim, and he's a prize in the Maryland Fishing Challenge, reports the Washington Post. The prize money increases to $25,000 through August if Jim isn't caught. There are actually three "Jims" swimming around out there. Each is wearing a special tag, and if you catch one—do not remove it—or your fish will be worth zilch.

Naked man killed by Police near MacArthur Causeway was ‘eating’ face off victim

This surveillance video from a camera on the Miami Herald building shows a police officer shooting the suspect, as well as the aftermath, when many more patrol cars arrived.







BY DANIELA GUZMAN AND JULIE K. BROWN

It was a scene as creepy as a Hannibal Lecter movie.

One man was shot to death by Miami police, and another man is fighting for his life after he was attacked, and his face allegedly half eaten, by a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp Saturday, police said.

The horror began about 2 p.m. when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street, just south of The Miami Herald building.

According to police sources, a road ranger saw a naked man chewing on another man’s face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to back away.Meanwhile, a woman also saw the incident and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.

The officer, who has not been identified, approached and, seeing what was happening, also ordered the naked man to back away. When he continued the assault, the officer shot him, police sources said. The attacker failed to stop after being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

Miami police were on the scene, which was just south of The Miami Herald building on Biscayne Boulevard. The naked man who was killed lay face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage. Police have requested The Herald’s video surveillance tapes.

The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police. Their identities were not released.
The incident, which came as crowds descended upon South Beach for the annual Urban Beach Week hip-hop festival, snarled traffic on the causeway for several hours.

In a text message, Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami police’s Fraternal Order of Police, said the officer who fired the fatal shots was “a hero.”

“Based on the information provided, our Miami police officer is a hero and saved a life,’’ he said.
Sergeant Altarr Williams, supervisor of Miami police’s Homicide Unit, said a man doesn’t have to be armed to be dangerous.
“There are other ways to injure people,’’ Williams said. “Some people know martial arts, others are very strong and can kill you with their hands.’’

Investigators believe the victim may have been homeless and laying down when the crazed man pounced.
Police theorize the attacker might have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis," a drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads the affected to strip naked to try and cool off.

Miami Herald writers Alexandra Leon and Curtis Morgan contributed to this report.
