[Twitter] 2PM Chansung's "animal-idol" image


On August 21, 2PM’s Chansung shared a topless photo of himself on Twitter, reaffirming his “animal-idol” image.

In the photo, Chansung is seen wearing only sweat pants, staring into the camera with his trademark “dreamy” eyes. Alongside the photo, Chansung wrote, “Good night everybody. Actually, this isn’t a ‘Men’s Health’ photo shoot. Anyways, I’m going to bed. Good night.

We’re not sure where the photo originally came from, but the lights and setting almost feel like a Polaroid picture. Chansung, in the photo, seems to have lost some weight as the mass around his arms and chest area look smaller than the past.

Netizens commented, “OMG!” “He owns the perfect bodyline,” and “Chansung, you can own me.

Meanwhile, JYP Entertainment’s family concert, “JYP Nation,” was held in Japan for two days on August 18 and 19 at the Yoyogi Arena. More than 36,000 fans came to the three concerts which featured some of the top JYP Entertainment artists.

Man Arrested For Shooting Mistletoe

Man Arrested For Shooting Mistletoe, Attempting to deck the halls with boughs of mistletoe landed a Decatur man in jail Sunday, police said. According to a DeKalb police report obtained by the AJC, William E. Robinson, 66, was using a double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun to shoot non-homegrown holiday decor out of trees at North DeKalb Mall.

Normally prim Portman debuts steamy ad, Natalie Portman sheds conservative image in nude Dior ad

Normally prim Portman debuts steamy ad, Natalie Portman sheds conservative image in nude Dior ad, Natalie Portman may have worn a long-sleeved, high-necked dress on her wedding day, but in new ads for Dior, the typically conservatively-dressed star is revealing an entirely different side of herself -- and a lot of it. For the French company's makeup line, Diorskin Nude, the Oscar-winning actress goes, well, nude — except for some strategically-placed arms. In one eye-popping shot, Portman, who gave birth to son Aleph last June, is topless and draped over a chair, exposing her back (and almost her backside) while giving the camera a sultry stare.


The only thing she has on? Dior's 169 Grege lip color, her favorite from the line of eight different shades. "I chose the color Grège because it's the one I'd pick to wear myself," the "Black Swan" actress says. "The number [169] contains different dates that are important to me and my family." Portman's sexy ad campaign isn't entirely gratuitous. Proceeds from her favorite shade will benefit the Free the Children Association, a charity near and dear to the heart of the new mom. This also wasn't the first time she posed au naturale for Dior. In January 2011, Portman went topless — except for a headband — for its Miss Dior Cherie perfume promo.

Woman Best Butt Discount

Woman Best Butt Discount - A Texas restaurant gave a female diner a tiny discount this week for having the "best butt" and for being the "best looking". The woman posted an image of the receipt online, and it went viral. So far, the restaurant has not responded.

Coupons and discounts for diners are becoming more and more commonplace.
But one woman at a Texas burger chain was given money off for having the ‘Best Butt’.
A Reddit user posted a picture of his friend’s receipt, which showed the bizarre mark-down below the unidentified woman’s veggie bowl and fried pickles order.

The sneaky compliment was printed beside a ‘Best Looking’ discount, which earned the customer one cent off the total price of her bill.
The female diner at Twisted Root Burger got a total of $0.02 off for her attractive attributes.

The Consumerist points out that the receipt has not been verified but one Reddit user, who claimed to work at the chain, confirmed that fun discounts can be added on to bills.
But some recent additions to receipts have not gone down so well. Papa Johns pizza in New York had to issue an apology to a customer in January after an employee identified her as 'lady chinky eyes' in her order.

Andrew Toothman covered in chocolate and peanut butter

A court citation filed yesterday notes that Toothman--who was only wearing a pair of black boots--had “peanut butter and chocolate smeared all over person.” Troopers noted that the store’s front door was “busted out,” and that several fire extinguishers had been discharged. Peanut butter and chocolate were also spread on the market's floor and in the manager’s office.


But the most bizarre bit of vandalism, investigators reported, involved NyQuil, the popular cold and flu remedy. “There was nyquil on the floor that spelled out sorry,” according to the February 2 citation.

Alexander Welch Used Flashing Iphone App

Alexander Welch Used Flashing Iphone App, Alexander Welch  used flashing iphone app to play cop. Alexander Welch's iPhone app allows a flashing of red and blue colors which mimics a police officer's lights.

It's believable enough that you could technically pull someone over. For every truly useful smart-phone app available, there are 10 others that are stupid and/or useless. The latter can only sort of be said about whichever police light application Alexander A. Welch supposedly used to try and pull over a driver in Boise.

Welch, as you may have surmised, is not a cop. He is, however, the owner of an unspecified smart phone. There are several police light and siren apps available costing between $0 and $1.99 that basically amount to a flashing blue and red light and an annoying wail.


So as the AP reports today, Welch was driving down the road when he put his police light flashing app on the dash of his car, then tried to make another car pull over.

It’s unclear whether the driver actually pulled over, but he or she eventually grew suspicious and followed Welch’s car while calling the real cops.

They soon pulled over Mr. Cherries and Berries and found the siren app on his phone, which he hadn’t deleted in the interim.

Now Welch has been charged with unlawful exercise of the function of police.We’re just bummed that the ridiculous Frenchman who made the app didn’t get thrown in jail along with him. I mean, listen to this guy:

Douglas Brian Osborne Almost $600

Douglas Brian Osborne Almost $600, Quasimodo would be so ashamed of this bell ringer. A donation-collecting volunteer jingled al the way to jail Saturday, after police arrested him for allegedly stealing several hundred dollars in coins from Salvation Army donation kettles.

Kevin L. Dinger reportedly told his fellow volunteers that he had instructions to replace the nearly full buckets with fresh ones, according to the Naples Daily News.

“Dinger used his position as an employee of the Salvation Army to steal the donations provided by honest citizens looking to assist a charitable cause,” a police report explained. “Dinger knew the system for switching kettles and used it to his advantage to facilitate his criminal enterprise.”



Authorities said that Dinger offered a similar explanation to police officers, but no records on his cell phone indicated that the alleged coin bandit actually received such a call from his superiors. The 49-year-old, who also owns and operates a landscaping company and ice cream factory, stole approximately $600, according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.

Security footage at a Naples Publix supermarket confirmed Dinger’s identity, WZVN reports.

Dinger, who is charged with grand theft and fraud, won’t be dinging any bells for the Salvation Army any time soon.

Sebastian Esteban I’m The Cookie Monster

Sebastian Esteban I’m The Cookie Monster, The suspect, identified as 18-year-old Sebastian Esteban, was "chewing and licking as crumbs fell from his lips, He’s not blue or googly-eyed, but police in Indiantown, Fla., say this criminal suspect is a self-described “cookie monster.” On March 3, workers at a Circle K convenience store alerted police that a shoplifter had just made off with a $1.19 package of “Pink White” cookies.

A Martin County sheriff’s deputy responded to the call and encountered three men who matched the suspect’s description — one of whom was spotted with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar.

The suspect, identified as 18-year-old Sebastian Esteban, was “chewing and licking as crumbs fell from his lips,”


When the deputy confronted Esteban, the suspect allegedly offered an explanation straight out “Sesame Street.”

“Ya, I stole the cookies, I’m the cookie monster,” he reportedly stated.

Esteban has been charged with misdemeanor petty theft and resisting arrest without violence.

Burglar Cleans And Cooks Dinner

Burglar Cleans And Cooks Dinner, When an Indiana woman returned home Monday night with her son, she discovered Keith Davis, 46, had neatly folded her clothes, swept the floor and cooked dinner. The only problem? Davis was a burglar. “I seen my living room light on and the bedroom light on, so once we came up the stairs I figured my brother was home,” Ashley Murray told WNDU. “I turned the knob and it was locked, so I seen my screen open and I pushed my window open and it was some random guy in my kitchen.”

Murray told the station she walked away from the window with her son and called the police before yelling at Davis to leave her home.


“I’m like, ‘The police are on their way!’ And he told me, ‘The police already been here,’ closed my window, locked it back up and closed my door and sat in a chair in front of the window until the police came,” Murray said.

Murray told WNDU she noticed Davis had cooked some chicken and onions in a pan, folded her clothes and swept the floor. She told WSBT Davis even put a sheet and pillow on her couch.

Davis was arrested despite adamantly stating he was in his own home. He was charged with breaking and entering.

When officers asked Davis where he lived he gave officers an address that didn’t exist. According to the affidavit, officers had a difficult time understanding his speech.

Murray said her son later recognized Davis as a neighbor from across the complex. The son said he had seen Davis watching him and his friends when they played outside.

Davis didn’t steal anything beyond the food.

John Pacella Wanted To Fight Police

John Pacella Wanted To Fight Police, Police in Willowbrook, Illinois, were surprised last week when they received a 4 a.m. emergency call from a man who “wanted to see an officer because he wanted to fight with them,” TribLocal reports. The man, 38-year-old John R. Pacella, wasn’t kidding around either: As soon as police showed up his door, he began pushing and shoving officers. He was promptly arrested.

Pacella was later booked at DuPage County Jail with bail set at $100,000. He remains behind bars on charges of aggravated battery, resisting a police officer, and battery with intent to provoke or insult, TribLocal reported.

Police also told TribLocal that Pacella is a registered sex offender.


The website Homefacts.com, which compiles neighborhood safety data including lists of registered sex offenders, has a profile for a John Rocco Pacella of Willowbrook, Illinois, whose record includes “Indecent Solicitation of a Child,” according to the site.

Emergency operators are no stranger to receiving odd requests from callers.

Last April, a man called 911 while he was being pulled over for a speeding ticket, pretending to report a shooting in the hopes officers would let him off the hook as they moved to respond to the fake incident.

Then, just a few weeks ago, a woman who said she received the wrong pills in an illegal prescription drug deal called police demanding that they track down the dealer and bring back the right goods.

Nikolas Harbar And Stephanie Pelzner Found Naked And Bound In Valentine's Sex Game Role-Playing

Nikolas Harbar And Stephanie Pelzner Found Naked And Bound In Valentine's Sex Game Role-Playing -A Portland couple arrested for a Valentine’s Day role-playing exercise that was mistaken for an actual abduction saw their disorderly conduct charges reduced to misdemeanor violations Wednesday.

Thirty-one-year-old Nikolas Alexander Harbar, and his girlfriend, Stephanie Morgan Pelzner, 26, plead guilty to misdemeanor violations, similar to a traffic ticket, in Multnomah County Court. They will be able to clear their records of the incident by each completing 16 hours of community service.


Their attorney, Adam Greenman, described the couple as “terribly embarrassed.”


“These are two young people who have never been in trouble in their lives, and they were doing something they thought was romantic, and maybe a bit silly,” Greenman told reporters outside the downtown Portland courtroom.

On Tuesday afternoon, a manager for New Seasons Market on North Interstate Avenue called 911 to report seeing a woman, bound and naked, in the back of a Subaru Legacy in the store’s parking lot.

“There was a man driving a blue Subaru. He had a woman in his back seat tied up, naked, duct tape on her mouth,” the manager said in the 911 call, obtained by KOIN Wednesday.

She reported approaching the car and asking the driver, later identified as Harbar, to roll down the window. “We’re just having some fun,” Harbar told her. The witness then asked the woman, later identified as Pelzner, if she should contact the police.

“She shook her head ‘no,’ but her mouth (sic) duct taped, and her eyes were just kind of hazy, and (she) seemed out of it,” the manager told the dispatcher.

The manager provided the license plate of the car, which took officers to the owner’s address on the 4300 block of Northeast 11th Avenue. An officer eventually spotted the car nearby, with Pelzner inside, as well as a man matching the description of Harbar walking towards the residence.

Naked Man Steals Socks From Walmart

Naked Man Steals Socks From Walmart, A 300-pound man was arrested after he was seen walking around an Exton, Pa., Walmart wearing nothing but socks. It was later discovered that the only apparel the man had on was stolen from the store, police say.

Employees at Walmart called police at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, saying that there was a naked man walking around the store, authorities say.

When police arrived they found 32-year-old Verdon Lamont Taylor in the store wearing only socks, police say. When Taylor would not comply with officers, the 6-feet, 4-inch tall, 300-pound man was tasered and taken into custody. Taylor proceeded to spit in an officer’s face, police say.



Upon viewing surveillance video, police learned that Taylor walked into the store completely naked and walked straight to the customer service counter, stole a pair of socks there, and put them on his feet.

The video also shows shoppers avoiding Taylor as he proceeded to walk through the store.

Taylor, who lives on the 100 block of East Church Street in Downingtown, Pa., was arraigned on charges of indecent exposure, aggravated assault, simple assault, retail theft, receiving stolen property and disorderly conduct.

He is being held at Chester County Prison on $50,000 cash bail.

Stephen Roy Dombeck Cuts To His Feet Running In Heels In Snow

Stephen Roy Dombeck Cuts To His Feet Running In Heels In Snow, Armed robberies? Boring.

Shootings? Okay, maybe a little more exciting.

But with more and more strange crime stories popping up around the nation, the everyday crimes that appear in the news are just starting to seem repetitive. The Maneater has compiled some incidents from 2012, which in either their nature or motive will leave you laughing, and possibly questioning humanity.

1. Man starts a car chase, just because he can

Officers then laid out a spike strip to flatten his tires, ending the chase.

2. Meth creates an unusual alliance

If nothing else, meth has the ability to bring people together.

“What’s funny is that this guy could have gone into any restaurant in town, but he wanted a Denny’s cheeseburger. … He was no stranger to the kitchen,” Officer Joel DeSpain said in an interview with The Huffington Post on Feb. 23.

Officers discovered an unregistered stun gun on Summers’ belt as well as what appeared to be a few crack pipes, according to NBC News.

Prince Andrew Shard Tower

Prince Andrew Shard Tower - Prince Andrew to rappel down skyscraper, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, plans to rappel down a skyscraper next month as part of a plan to help raise $1 million for charity. British pundits have labeled him a daredevil.

Safety belt? Check. Plenty of leg room? Check. And a view to take your breath away?Absolutely. But at this altitude he might usually expect a more comfortable seat.

The Duke of York is in for a terrifying takeoff as he prepares to leap from the tallest building in Europe in aid of charity.

Prince Andrew – dubbed ‘Airmiles Andy’ because of his penchant for luxury air travel – will abseil off the 1,016ft Shard in London on September 3.

While the duke admits to being fearful at the prospect, it seems the Queen is not so concerned about her son’s feat.
He said: ‘Mother doesn’t worry, based on the fact that all of her children have done exclusively mad things over a number of years and she is quite used to it.’
Andrew, 52, came up with the idea for the £1million fundraiser while watching from Buckingham Palace as the Shard was built.
He will be raising money for educational charity the Outward Bound Trust, of which he is chairman of the trustees.
The charity aims to help young people realise their potential through learning in the wild – whether it be canoeing, hill-climbing, mountain-biking or kayaking.
Andrew came up with the idea himself during a brain-storming meeting in the Yellow Drawing Room at Buckingham palace.
He recalled: ‘I’m sitting at the end of the table, looking out of the window whilst they are having this conversation. I suddenly noticed that this rather special building was appearing on the London horizon.
'I said to them, why should we not do something that is in keeping with the adventurous nature of Outward Bound , that has the element of risk that we are particularly good at managing? That sense of getting slightly out of your comfort zone?
‘I said, ‘why don’t we just abseil down the outside of the Shard?’”
According to the organisers, the enterprise will be ‘terrifying’ – not just because of the extreme height, but because of the sensation of sliding down on glass and also because the descent is so long that each abseiler will have to stop and start three times.
Andrew, a former naval helicopter pilot, has abseiled before but admits that the prospect fills him with fear.
‘It’s the same for me as it for everybody else,’ he said.
‘Have you got the guts, the balls, whatever you like to call it, to step out over the edge at 1,000ft? And the answer is, ‘we’ll see’.
The prince will be accompanied by several leading city bankers and other trustees including Ffion Hague, wife of Foreign Secretary William.
His Virgin Just Giving fundraising site (find him under HRH The Duke of York or see www.descentoftheshard.com) has raised a staggering £230,000 already including £500 from his daughter, Princess Eugenie with the message ‘Well done papa! I'm so proud of you! Xx’.

Man Wearing Sombrero And Boxing Glove Jumps On Cop Car

Man Wearing Sombrero And Boxing Glove Jumps On Cop Car, Sacramento Police arrested a man for public intoxication early Wednesday morning after he jumped on the hood of a police cruiser and shouted his own name.

Opposite Day Arrest

Opposite Day Arrest, A man who woke up in his car after a night of drinking says he believes someone else set him on fire as he slept.

“He had severe burns on his left leg from the knee to the ankle,” said Ott. “According to the individual he had been sleeping in his car parked behind 38 Elmer Street. He told the officers he had consumed alcoholic beverages until about 1 in the morning in that car, and then awoke to find his leg on fire.”




You can’t arrest me! It’s Opposite Day! A man arrested for public nudity is saying he was naked for “opposite day.”

Several people reported seeing 19-year-old Leonard Fodera wandering Indianapolis in the buff.

When police asked Fodera why he took a walk while naked, he offered a few responses. He said he wanted to be free and do what he wanted, according to the report. He also said that it was “opposite day.”

And the best response ever? The officer told Fodera “Fine, in that case, you are not going to jail for public indecency.”

The attempted burglary took place Sunday morning at Moh’s Market in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. He was able to escape through holes he drilled in the basement leading to an upstairs apartment.


With the aid of the video and the information on Pellon’s tab with the store, police were able to identify and arrest him in his apartment, also above the store, the same evening of the burglary. The damage done during his escape from the well-secured business resulted in $2,500.00 of damage.

Daniel Athens urinated on Alamo

Daniel Athens Urinated On Alamo; Urinating On Alamo Could Land Man In Prison, Alamo Mission, Ozzy Osbourne urinated on the Alamo , urinating on office chairs, Urinating Alamo--Daniel Athens has just helped further define the saying "Don't mess with Texas." The 21-year-old tourist was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor after allegedly urinating on The Alamo Mission in San Antonio.

Police say they caught Athens, mid-stream, after he ducked under a fence to pee on the building's wall An El Paso man was released from jail Sunday morning after being arrested by security guards the previous night and accused of urinating on the Alamo.

Daniel Athens, 21, was intoxicated when he was detained in front of the Alamo around 9:25 p.m., a member of the Alamo Rangers said.


Athens was arrested on two Class C misdemeanor charges of public intoxication and urinating in public. A Class C misdemeanor carries a fine of up to $500.

While on tour in the US in the early 80s, Black Sabbath's frontman, Ozzy Osbourne, found himself with a full bladder and nowhere near a lavatory. Relieving himself against a nearby building, he was arrested by an irate cop, who told him he had been urinating on The Alamo, the icon of Texan independence. "Son, when you p**s on The Alamo, you p**s on the state of Texas," he was apparently told.

This isn't the first time that someone has taken issue with the landmark while in a drunken stupor.
Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne was arrested and banned from the city of San Antonio after he urinated on the cenotaph that stands opposite the memorial.

At the time of the 1982 incident, he was wearing his then-girlfriend Sharon's dress because she had hidden his clothes.

Beyond the lines: Athens drew attention when he went to a corded off section 'Urine contains salt and the limestone absorbs the salt and then pushes the salt out,' the police report said.

'When the salt gets pushed out so does the face of the limestone and through this process the urine contributes to the eroding of the limestone.'

Athens may face the felony charge of damaging a public monument which comes along with a possible two year prison sentence.Caught: David Athens, 21, was caught urinating on the Alamo and was charged with the misdemeanors of public intoxication and public urination.

The police report documents how patrol men saw Athens 'making the motions of putting his penis back in his pants and saw a puddle on the original mortar of the Shrine and next to the Shrine.'

Athens was charged with public drunkenness and public urination, but since those are both misdemeanors he was released on Sunday.

His charges may be increased depending on the level of damage that the landmark, which was built in 1744, sustained.

The chemical breakdown of the urine was known to police who warned of possible repercussions on the monument.

A man clearly missed the memo that you don't mess with Texas as he was arrested for urinating on the famed Alamo in San Antonio.

Daniel Athens, 21, was caught by police after he went into a chained-off area of the one-time Catholic mission that serves as a memorial to the 1836 Battle of the Alamo.

Police were called to the national landmark, which is referred to as the 'Shrine of Texas Liberty' late Saturday night.

Bartolo colon 50-game suspension, Bartolo Colon hit with 50-game suspension after testing positive for testosterone

Bartolo colon 50-game suspension, Bartolo Colon hit with 50-game suspension after testing positive for testosterone, Oakland A's pitcher Bartolo Colon has tested positive for testosterone and will be suspended for 50 games. The violation was first reported by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports on Wednesday afternoon and later confirmed in a league announcement.

The news comes almost exactly a week after San Francisco's Melky Cabrera saw his season end across the bay for also using testosterone. Like Cabrea, Colon's regular season is also over with only 40 games remaining on the A's schedule. The 39-year-old righty wouldn't be eligible to return until 10 games into any A's playoff run, but any inclusion of Colon on a postseason roster is almost unthinkable at this point.


"I apologize to the fans, to my teammates and to the Oakland A's. I accept responsibility for my actions and I will serve my suspension as required by the Joint Drug Program."

Also like Cabrera, Colon's contributions had thrust his team into postseason contention. He was 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA in his first season with the A's and made headlines across the country when he threw 38 strikes during a game in early April.

Colon had pitched particularly well since the All-Star break, going 4-2 with a 2.63 ERA in seven starts. The A's rotation will miss him, though the return of Brett Anderson and Brandon McCarthy could help soften the blow for a sneaky-good rotation that also includes Tommy Milone and Jarrod Parker. Perhaps the happiest member of the A's to hear the news is rookie Dan Straily, who was sent to Triple-A this week to make room for Anderson on the roster.

William Ferris Calls Cops About Prostitute's Service In White Castle Bathroom---Stupid criminals, Green Township, Ohio: April 23, 2012, A Bethel, Ohio, man was charged twice for the same crime in two years his first arrest white castle after calling police.

Nude unicyclist arrested

Nude unicyclist arrested, Nude unicyclist arrested near Houston, Texas, Police in Kemah, Texas arrested a man on Wednesday for riding a unicycle while nude. The city's chief of police told sources that the man, Joseph Glynn Farley, 45, of Clear Lake, Texas had been falling off his unicycle repeatedly while riding across a bridge. Police stated the man was not intoxicated at the time of his arrest, but simply told them he liked how riding the unicycle while nude felt. Police had stopped Farley earlier in the day on Wednesday, and warned him to stay in his lane while riding, as he was creating a hazard for motorists.


During that encounter, Farley was clothed. When Farley was arrested, his clothes were later found near the foot of the bridge. The man's father said Mr. Farley suffers from a mental illness, and refuses to take medication or participate in therapy. He also said Mr. Farley often has trouble distinguishing proper versus improper behavior, due to his illness.

A popular tourist destination, the Kemah Boardwalk is located about 20 miles from downtown Houston. The Boardwalk is adjacent to Galveston Bay.

Woman Left Bill After Cleaning House

Woman Left Bill After Cleaning House, A woman could face jail time for breaking into peoples’ homes to clean. WKYC-TV reports that Sue Warren left a cleaning bill on a napkin at the Bush family’s home in Westlake when they were not there.

“She wrote a note and left it on the table, saying, ‘$75 I was here to clean,’ and left her name and number,” Sherry Bush told WKYC.

Bush was shocked at what she heard after she called Warren.


“I think our jaws just dropped to the ground,” Bush told WKYC. “I said, what happened, did you get the wrong house? She said, ‘No, I do this all the time.’ I said, what do you mean? She said, ‘I just stop and clean your house.’”

This is not the first time Warren has done this. The station reports she was charged with criminal trespassing after she did the same thing at a Beachwood home last month.

Antibiotics may make babies chubby, Giving babies antibiotics could lead to obesity

Antibiotics may make babies chubby, Giving babies antibiotics could lead to obesity, Giving babies antibiotics before the age of six months could cause them to be chubby children, according to a study published Tuesday.

"We typically consider obesity an epidemic grounded in unhealthy diet and exercise, yet increasingly studies suggest it's more complicated," said co-author Leonardo Trasande of the New York University School of Medicine.

"Microbes in our intestines may play critical roles in how we absorb calories, and exposure to antibiotics, especially early in life, may kill off healthy bacteria that influence how we absorb nutrients into our bodies, and would otherwise keep us lean."


The study adds to a growing body of research warning of the potential dangers of antibiotics, especially for children.

Preliminary studies have linked changes in the trillions of microbial cells in our bodies to obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma and other conditions. However, direct causal proof has not yet been found.

This was the first study analyzing the relationship between antibiotic use and body mass starting in infancy.

The researchers evaluated the use of antibiotics among 11,532 children born in Britain's Avon region in 1991 and 1992 who are participating in a long-term study on their health and development.

They found that children treated with antibiotics in the first five months of their life weighed more for their height than those who were not exposed.

The difference was small between the ages of 10 to 20 months, but by 38 months of age, children exposed to antibiotics had a 22 percent greater likelihood of being overweight.

Timing appeared to matter -- children who received antibiotics from the ages of six to 14 months did not have a significantly higher body mass later in childhood, the study revealed.

And although children exposed to antibiotics at 15 to 23 months had slightly higher body mass indices by age seven, there was no significant increase in their likelihood of being overweight or obese.

"For many years now, farmers have known that antibiotics are great at producing heavier cows for market," co-author Jan Blustein, also of NYU, said in a press release.

Burglars Left Trail Of Candy Wrappers

Burglars Left Trail Of Candy Wrappers, Burglars Busted After Leaving Trail Of Candy: Jose Lopez Jr, initially got away scot-free after breaking into a party shop, but was caught after detectives followed a trail of candy wrappers, authorities say.

The suspect allegedly forced his way into the shop in Eloy, Arizona, before making off with a safe containing cash and jewellery, as well as some chocolate bars that were on display.

But his sweet tooth turned out to be the alleged burglar’s downfall-after a trail of candy wrappers led detectives right to his door. Jennifer Jimenez, whose parents own Matty’s Enterprise in Eloy, pulled up to the store to find a broken window, money missing from the cash register, and the store’s safe stolen. The total loss: more than $2,000 in cash, along with some merchandise. But Jimenez noticed something else was missing from behind the counter.


“Usually, we have it all stocked, all the candies, and we had a box of a variety of chocolates,” Jimenez told KNXV, ABC’s Phoenix affiliate. “All the chocolates were gone, completely.”

It all started around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, when an alarm was tipped at the business. The alarm company contacted Eloy Police, who sent a patrol officer. Department officials said the officer found nothing suspicious in the area, but a city worker reported the broken storefront window around 7:30 that same morning, just before Jimenez arrived.

When investigators arrived on the scene, they found a partial footprint on the broken window that matched a second behind the store’s building. That footprint was surrounded by candy wrappers, with more a few feet away. Police were able to follow the trail of footprints and wrappers about a quarter of a mile, through town, over railroad tracks and across a dirt lot to the home of 45-year-old Jose Lopez Jr.

“This is a little different than most cases,” Stacy Smith, the public information officer at the Eloy Police Department, told ABC News. “With the trail left behind, and the distance they were able to follow it, it was definitely out of the ordinary for us.”

Police recovered $1,834 in cash and coins from Lopez’s home, and $550 in gold and silver jewelry, which had been in the safe. Smith said Lopez also had fresh cuts on his arms, consistent with blood found on the broken window. He was arrested for third degree burglary, theft, possession of marijuana, and had an outstanding felony warrant for violating probation. He is being held in the Pinal County Jail, and Smith said if convicted he could face jail time. Calls to Lopez and his family by ABC News were not returned.

Sandra Davis This Isn’t Even A $10 Rock You Need To Make This Right

Sandra Davis This Isn’t Even a $10 Rock You Need To Make This Right, Stupid criminals—Sandra Davis – This isn’t even a $10 rock – You need to make this right: One digit sent four people to jail Monday morning.

That, and repeated phone calls to a Rowan County deputy’s cell phone.

Jagger Naves had been asleep until his phone began ringing that morning.

Calls came in at 3:51 a.m., then 4:02, 4:04 and 4:05.

On the fourth try, the caller left a voice mail.


“This isn’t even a $10 rock. You need to make this right!” the caller yelled into the phone, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

The caller, who authorities later identified as Sandra Davis, of Statesville, said she and another person wanted to meet in a parking lot on U.S. 70 in Cleveland, the report said.

Naves was the wrong person to tell. He is a member of the Sheriff’s Office Aggressive Criminal Enforcement team.

Naves phoned Cleveland Police and let them know about the possible drug deal.

He then called the number back and said he was an officer and told the caller to stop calling.

Ten minutes later, he realized he wasn’t going to get any sleep.

The phone rang a fifth time, and despite the deputy’s earlier warning, the caller said she couldn’t meet at the parking lot because “police were everywhere,” the report said.

She asked if they could meet in a business parking lot on U.S. 801.

Naves obliged.

Davis and 50-year-old Henry Cloer, of Granite Falls, were found sitting in a green 1987 Chevy pickup with the lights off.

Naves said when he spoke to them, he immediately recognized the driver’s voice from the messages left on his phone that morning.

When he asked the two to step out of the truck, a plastic bag fell from Cloer’s pants. The bag contained about half a gram of crack cocaine, the report said. Authorities also found a metal smoking pipe in the truck.

The pair told officers they were waiting to meet two people in a white, four-door sedan.

Naves seized the pair’s cell phones for evidence. But one of the phones began ringing. The number that appeared on the phone’s display was one digit off from Naves’ personal cell number.

Naves met that caller and another person near Bear Poplar at U.S. 801. They were waiting in a white 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass.

The deputy said he saw a small of bag of cocaine in the lap of the passenger, identified as 33-year-old Jermiere Walker, of Granite Quarry. He immediately took Walker into custody and placed the cocaine on the roof of the car, the report said.

As Naves dealt with Walker — who officers said was banging loudly against the glass in the patrol car — Pamela Henderson, who was driving the Cutlass, grabbed the plastic bag.

She pulled what appeared to be a second bag of cocaine from her bra and threw them both in the nearby tall grass, the report said.

Deputies brought in a K-9 unit to help search the roadside and vehicle. They found a small plastic bag containing three crack cocaine rocks.

Authorities charged Henderson and Walker with felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Henderson, 38, was also charged with resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer and felony maintaining a vehicle for storing drugs.Sandra Davis This Isn’t Even a $10 Rock You Need To Make This Right, Stupid criminals—Sandra Davis – This isn’t even a $10 rock – You need to make this right: One digit sent four people to jail Monday morning.

Most-stolen vehicles: Not just old Hondas

Most-stolen vehicles: Not just old Hondas, Top 10 list of most-stolen vehicles filled with foreign sedans, American pickups, As it has for several years, the 1994 Honda Accord retained its title in 2011 as the nation's most-stolen vehicle in the National Insurance Crime Bureau rankings. The rest of the top 10 looked familiar as well, with crooks maintaining their preference for imported sedans, Detroit pickups and the occasional minivan. Yet this year's list comes with a warning: After a decade of losing targets to electronic deterrents, thieves are getting smarter.


The major trends in the annual NICB report remain as they have for years, with declining car thefts focused on older models with fewer anti-theft devices whose parts are in high demand. NICB also produces a state-by-state breakdown of the most-stolen models; in Kentucky, the full-size pickups lead the list, while only in Vermont do three models of Subarus crack the top ten.

Samuel Edward Waters Eating Burrito

An Edina man whose blood-alcohol content registered at three and a half times the legal limit has been charged with drunken driving after police say he offered to pay them $1,000 to let him go.

Samuel Edward Waters, 22, is charged with two gross misdemeanors: refusing to submit to field sobriety tests and third-degree driving while intoxicated, each of which carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $3,000 fine.

He is also charged with hitting a car and driving away without stopping, a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.



According to the criminal complaint, signed by an Edina police detective, a caller alerted police just before 9 p.m. June 27 of someone driving over curbs and flinging beer cans out the car windows on 70th Street West near the Galleria.

The caller provided a description of the car and the license plate number.

Police checked the car’s license plate and found that it was registered to a woman who lives in the 6800 block of Chapel Lane in Edina. An officer drove to the home, and as he approached the intersection of Chapel Lane and Valley View Road, he spotted the suspect vehicle making a right turn onto Chapel Lane, driving up and over a curb.

The officer turned on his squad car’s emergency lights, and the suspect turned into a driveway and stopped.

The officer approached the car and noted that the driver—later identified as Waters—had bloodshot, watery eyes and smelled like alcohol. Waters was holding a burrito from a nearby fast-food restaurant, but had spilled most of the burrito on his pants, the complaint notes.

The officer asked Waters repeatedly to put down his burrito and retrieve his driver’s license and proof of insurance. However, Waters held on to the burrito, which he continued to spill.

In a slurred voice, Waters asked the officer “numerous times” how much money it would take to make him “go away,” and several times offered the officer $1,000 to let him go inside his house and get some sleep, the complaint charges.

Waters admitted that he had been drinking at a restaurant in the Galleria earlier, according to the complaint.

While Waters was attempting to perform field sobriety tests, he reportedly told the officer, "You [expletive] win, dude, I’m drunk." When the officer asked if he would perform any more sobriety tests, Waters allegedly replied, "I’m kinda drunk, I don’t know what to say."

Waters provided a breath sample, which registered a blood-alcohol content of .284 percent.

A dispatcher told the officer Waters had been involved in a hit-and-run collision near the intersection of Valley View and Antrim roads. A different officer investigated the accident and found the drivers of two vehicles standing beside their cars, one of them with damage on the passenger side that appeared to have been caused when it was struck from behind.

The driver of the damaged car told police that he had been stopped at a stop sign when Waters struck him from behind. The driver put his car in park; as he got out of the car, Waters hit his car again.

The driver asked Waters what he was doing, but he told police he couldn’t understand his reply because his mouth was full of a burrito that he was eating. He asked Waters to back up, but Waters stepped on the accelerator and pushed on the victim’s car.

Eventually Waters backed up his car, drove around the damaged vehicle and sped away, the victim told police.

Waters was taken to the Edina Police Department, where at some point he urinated in a cell and was found lying on the floor beside a large puddle or urine, according to the complaint. He refused to provide a blood or urine sample for testing, the complaint says.

Waters also refused to be fingerprinted, and when his photo was taken, he held up both hands and displayed his middle fingers, according to the complaint.

Taylor swift connor kennedy kiss

Taylor swift connor kennedy kiss, Country crooner Taylor Swift has bagged her dream man in Conor Kennedy, and she wants the world to know about it. And the 22-year-old is perhaps equally in love with the idea of joining the legendary family, if her new Jackie O-inspired style is any indication of inner passion. They may have only been dating for little over two months but Taylor Swift and boyfriend Conor Kennedy look they've known each other all their lives.

The pair have been pictured many times recently sharing lingering kisses and continued in the same vein on Sunday afternoon.

Taylor, 22, and her curly haired beau were spotted on vacation in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, acting completely smitten with each other. At one point Conor was even seen landing a tender and gentle peck on the country singers forehead as she gladly received it.


Swift has been spending much of her spare-time trying to get to know Conor, 18, better while also meeting the famous Kennedy family.

Two important family members already won over by the saccharine star are grandmother Ethel Kennedy and aunt Rory. During a Television Critics Association panel, last month, Rory said: '[Taylor] is a great friend of all of ours. She's awesome and we love her.'

Ethel was equally as complimentary and admitted that she would love the singer to become a Kennedy. 'We should be so lucky', she blissfully gushed.

The You Belong With Me singer looked lovely in a yellow and white summer dress while her boyfriend wore a much more casual outfit.

Surely it was something deemed TOO awesomely American for the average person to witness–something like French freedom-kissing a bald eagle while riding a Harley, or perhaps just jerkin’ it in his Ford truck to Kate Upton’s USA bikini photos as “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” played.

Turns out 31-year-old Eric Butkiewicz was actually just selling Xanax at a nightclub on July 4. Still American, sure, but not nearly as awesome as the stuff we guessed.


Most drug dealers use stealth and anonymity, but perhaps Mr. Butkiewicz is on to something here. “Hey, where’d you score those Zannies?” “Oh, the dude with the American flag airbrushed onto his face. Police allegedly discovered 13 of the pills in his front pocket. He was booked on felony possession of a controlled substance and will be arraigned August 3.

He was arrested at 4:03 a.m. July 5, so his face was clearly painted for the patriotic occasion of the previous day.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming. God bless America.

Cher 66 tim medvetz 42 years old

Cher 66 tim medvetz 42 years old, Is 66-year-old Cher ready to walk down the aisle for a third time? According to a new National Enquirer report, the answer is yes, and as soon as this fall! After their 2008 wedding plans were derailed due to the singer's hectic work schedule, Cher and her on-again-off-again biker beau, Tim Medvetz, have reportedly recommitted to tying the knot.

Apparently, Cher's kids encouraged their famous mom to give love with Medvetz, a 42-year-old Hells Angels biker-turned-mountain climber, another try. "Since neither Chaz nor Elijah is planning on kids, Chaz finally sat Cher down and said, 'Mom, get a life! Go back to Tim!'" the source revealed. "They picked up right where they left off."

"Now Cher is beam­ing, and Tim told a pal, 'I thought climbing Everest was the ultimate call of the wild, but I think marrying Cher will top that!'" the insider reported. Tim is the founder and president of The Heroes Project, an organization that supports veterans, soldiers and military families, and in which Cher has been involved.

They separated after two years and finalized their divorce in 1979. Between Bono and Allman, Cher revealed that she had a fling with Elvis Presley while they were performing in Las Vegas, but rejected him when he asked her up to his room because she was nervous about spending the night with him. In February 2008, Cher stated on Good Morning America that she deeply regrets turning him down. In the interview, she also said she had been asked out by Marlon Brando during a plane ride.

Cher has also been in relationships with Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Warren Beatty, Eric Clapton and Richie Sambora.

Dogs Tails OCD Study

Dogs Tails OCD Study - Are dogs who chase their tails mentally ill? Dogs who chase their tails exhibit symptoms associated with a human mental disorder, according to a new study Factors such as genetics, an early separation from their mothers and poor diet may play a role. Some breeds are affected more than others, and experts say vitamins seem to help, but additional research is needed.

The researchers said that tail-chasing in dogs could be used as a model for studying the genetic background of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in humans. Tail chasing may also be influenced by environmental factors such as diet and a mother’s care, researchers from the University of Helsinki found. The study found that tail-chasing is associated with mental health issues, alongside behaviours such as being more timid and being afraid of loud noises.

OCD in humans is characterised by recurrent, persistent thoughts, and repetitive, ritualised behaviours, such as checking and rechecking locks. The footballer David Beckham has admitted to having OCD, which makes him to rearrange hotel rooms and line up cans of soft drinks to make “everything perfect”.

The Finnish researchers surveyed the owners of 368 dogs and collected DNA samples from 181 dogs from four breeds: bull terriers, miniature bull terriers, German shepherds and Staffordshire bull terriers. The owners filled out a questionnaire about their dogs’ stereotypical behaviour, and the dogs were given a range of nutritional supplements.

Justin gatlin illness

Justin gatlin illness, Organizers of the Lausanne Diamond League meeting say U.S. sprinter Justin Gatlin will miss the rest of the season due to an illness. Earlier this week, Gatlin went to an Austrian hospital because of a fever and stomach pains.

Gatlin, the 100-meter bronze medalist at the London Olympics and a member of the U.S.' silver-winning 400-meter relay team, was slated to run in the Athletissima meet in Switzerland on Thursday.

In a statement, Athletissima organizers said “his situation has not improved. Justin Gatlin has taken the decision to return to the USA, withdrawing from the meeting in Lausanne as well as ending his season.”

Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, is also scheduled to compete in Switzerland. That alone is enough to give any competitor stomach pains.

The Office ending

The Office ending - 'The Office' ending after next season, NBC's hit sitcom "The Office" is set to end after its upcoming ninth season. The show, which debuted in 2005, took a ratings hit last season – but is still the network's highest-rated scripted series. There's also word some former stars of the show will make guest appearances. The show's final season is set to start on Sept. 20.

Award-winning comedy "The Office" will end its run on U.S. television in 2013 after eight years as part of a "creative decision" caused by the departures of several key cast members, executive producer Greg Daniels said on Tuesday.
Daniels told reporters in a conference call that the ninth season, starting on September 20, will bring back many familiar faces to NBC's mockumentary workplace comedy.
"This year feels like the last chance to really go out together and make an artistic ending for the show that pays off a lot of the stuff that has mattered most to fans with the core characters," Daniels said.
"This will be the last season of 'The Office' and we are planning a very big exciting last season. We are going to have a lot of familiar faces coming back," he added.
The ending of the show follows the exit last year of lead actor Steve Carell, who portrayed bumbling office manager Michael Scott, as well as a decrease in audience size from a high of about 8 million in 2008 to around 4 million earlier this year.
"The Office" has won four Emmy Awards and was adapted from the British series of the same name created by comedian Ricky Gervais.
Daniels, who developed the show for American TV, said the decision to end the series was made because of the success enjoyed by many of the cast members outside the program.
Rainn Wilson's sycophantic Dwight Schrute is getting a spin-off series, Mindy Kaling has developed and stars in upcoming comedy "The Mindy Project," and screen couple John Krasinski (Jim Halpert) and Jenna Fischer (Pam) have both carved out movie careers on the back of their "Office" fame.
"It didn't seem we could count on getting that many people back for a Season 10," Daniels said.
"We had debated whether to reboot it. It was a bit of a difficult decision. The format is a very strong format," Daniels said, but the potential loss of key characters would mean "the show would be changed to such a degree it wouldn't be the same show."
"Certainly we are not leaving for any reason other than the ones I have described. The show has been healthy and valued by NBC," he added.
Daniels said the final season would tie up many of the characters' story lines, including the identity of those shooting the documentary at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company that gave "The Office" its unique tone.
"We are going to Roy's wedding ... we are telling some crazy Dwight stories, there is a lot of drama in the Jim and Pam story this year," he said. "The ending should be pretty cool."
Asked whether Carell would return for the final season, Daniels was noncommittal, saying he would welcome the actor back for some episodes but did not wish to pressure him.
NBC is owned by cable operator Comcast Corp.

Paul Ryan black girlfriend

Paul Ryan black girlfriend - According to new reports, Paul Ryan had a black college sweetheart. No additional details were immediately available on the mystery woman, but GOP supporters say the revelation shows that Ryan is open-minded, while critics question whether the information is even newsworthy. The news follows reports from earlier this year on President Obama's college love life and white girlfriends.

Rep. Paul Ryan's ex-girlfriend -- who happens to be black -- is the focus of a debate on whether race matters in the 2012 elections for the GOP. Who knew African American girlfriends from the past would become an issue of debate to measure Mitt Romney's running-mate's electability?

Monday, Keli Goff, the political correspondent for TheRoot.com, published a story that has ignited a discussion about race in America and if it is fair game during an election year. The post is titled, "What We Know About Paul Ryan and Blacks."

An ex-girlfriend of Paul Ryan is black. Furthermore, the congressman's sister-in-law is African American as well. So what's the focus on Mitt Romney's vice-presidential running-mate at this juncture?


Video: Why Ryan Makes Dems Smile

Goff explores whether a candidate's views and approach to race serves as a barometer for his or her political agenda and platform. While abortion, healthcare and the economy rank high among points of contention for Liberals, Conservatives and Moderates during the 2012 elections, issues on race and inequality are pushed to the back-burners.

"For the record: No, I am not calling Ryan a racist. I am saying, however, that if you want to know where a politician's heart lies when it comes to a particular community, it may be best to look at that person's policies -- such as his or her record on civil rights -- rather than personal relationships," Goff qualifies her argument about Congressman Paul Ryan's ex-girlfriend.

However, a writer with the New York Daily News scoffed at the idea that The Root's writer would suggest that race has anything to do with the GOP candidate's political practices. Whether the talk is about African Americans, Latinos or any other ethnic group, he believes its a non-issue.

Derek Hunter offered this rebuttal:

"In this incredibly dumb piece, Goff asks the all-important (to no one) question, '"Is the fact that Ryan has dated interracially a noteworthy detail to consider when analyzing his politics and policies?

"The simple answer is 'no.' But to race-obsessed liberals the simple answer has no place in politics."

Goff supports her argument about African American stereotypes that are often afforded an "exception." Here, she means that a person can still be a bigot towards a group and have black girlfriends, like Paul Ryan did.

She uses Lou Dobbs and Strom Thurman as examples. While both used rhetoric against a class of people in their professional lives, behind closed doors, they made allowances. This "exception," Goff points out, allows them to have bias towards a group, while still accepting the individual.

"This pointless piece ends up taking the long way around to implying Ryan is bad for black people and may not like them much, despite the fact that he has a black sister-in-law and a black ex-girlfriend. He's bad, but probably not a racist," Hunter adds.

While Goff brings up some salient issues during the GOP race against Obama, Hunter takes issue with circular reasoning.

Paul Ryan's ex-girlfriend may not be the dagger that dooms Mitt Romney and his running-mate against the incumbent president. However, merely saying that the Jim Crow era no longer exists and therefore Liberals should relax is a jaded approach to real world issues.

While it's comforting and rather benign to talk about the economy, gas prices and Obamacare, race does matter and deserves a dialogue.

Cu Students Use Bear Spray

Cu Students Use Bear Spray, Two CU students are accused in a bear spray attack at two separate locations near campus on the 4th of July. Robert McManus, 21, is accused of spraying bear spray into a home Wednesday night, hitting a woman in the living room who was watching television.

Police say McManus then hopped on the back of a scooter with his friend, Stephen Armbruster, 21, and sprayed bear spray into a crowded fraternity party at the Zeta Beta Tau house next door.

Boulder Police Spokeswoman Kim Kobel says anywhere from 10 to 15 people at the party felt the effects of the bear spray. “They were vomiting,” Kobel said. “Their eyes were watering.”


McManus and Armbruster decided to retaliate against someone who stole a painted Greek letter “S” from the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house in the early morning hours of July 4, according to a police report.

Through Facebook pictures, the report says McManus tracked the stolen letter to 955 17th Street, near the CU-Boulder campus.

He and Armbruster rode a scooter to the house, taking a canister of bear spray with them.

“When McManus was confident that 955 17th Street was the ‘green house’ where the ‘S’ had been found, he and Armbruster executed their plan,” the police report says.

McManus told police he thought no one was home and reached inside the door and let out a spray of the bear attack repellent.

That repellent hit a 19-year-old girl who was watching TV at the time. She felt the spray starting to burn on her arms, and went to a bathroom to call 911, the report says.

Meanwhile, the two friends rode their scooter by a fraternity party next door for nearly an hour, according to eyewitnesses.

McManus then let out another plume of bear spray into the air near the party.
“I got about 15 feet down the sidewalk right there before I got into the pepper spray,” Zeta Beta Tau member Beau Radovich said.

Radovich says his eyes watered and his lips started to burn.

“I’d never seen the guys before,” Radovich said. “I never heard their names.”

Boulder Police Spokeswoman Kim Kobel said the two suspects tried to flee on their scooter, “when the wind shifts and blows the cloud of pepper spray back at them.”

That’s when police say they crashed their scooter near the fraternity house.

Police arrested McManus on second degree felony assault charges and Armbruster for DUI and accessory to felonies.

Police said both McManus and Armbruster admitted to drinking alcohol before the incident.
