New Orleans man shoots bloody intruder that entered home, started fighting him, When enjoying a weekend day at home, the last thing anyone wants is for a bloody person to run in and attack them. That was the case in New Orleans on Sunday, April 28, 2013, as a homeowner had to shoot an intruder to defend himself after the man entered his home and began fighting with those that were inside, per WWL TV. New Orleans police say that at around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, the unidentified man entered the home on N. Broad Street and just began fighting with the people inside.

Mere moments earlier, two officers had seen the suspect after responding to a dispatch call of someone "that was bloody and acting irate in the street." The officers found him and attempted to ask...

Scientists in Uruguay create first glow in the dark sheep, Now there are glow in the dark sheep. According to a report that was made on April 27 by Slash Gear, Uruguay scientists have taken protein from jellyfish to create glow in the dark sheep. These sheep were born last year in October at the Animal Reproduction Institute of Uruguay. Although they glow in the dark when ultra-violet light hits them, the Uruguay scientists say they are just as normal and healthy as regular sheep. The leader of the research team, Alejo Menchacha stated they did this not for medical reasons or interests but because they simply wanted to. They wanted to 'fine tune the technique.' He also said that they are roaming around the field like all of the other sheep are. They don't act different, just look different. Another reason why they chose the green protein is because it is easy to identify in the sheep's tissue. Although these might be the first sheep to glow in the dark, they are certain...

Man survives jump from Empire State Building, According to the old joke, a man leaps from the top of the Empire State Building and lives to tell about it. He lives to tell the 102nd floor, the 101st floor…. Last week a man actually did jump from the observation deck on the 86th floor of the 1,250-foot-high skyscraper and survived, but that’s because a catwalk one floor below the deck broke his fall. LU’s partner Newsmax reports: Nathaniel Simone (also reported as Nathaniel Fimone), 33, of Hamilton, Mass., reportedly climbed a security gate around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday before falling off the edge of the observation deck… As tourists watched in horror, Simone landed one floor below. ‘He jumped from the 86th floor and landed on a catwalk just below it, between the 86th and 85th floors,’ New York Police Department Detective Mark Nell told ABCNews.com. Simone suffered a broken ankle for his trouble and was taken to New York's Bellevue Hospital in police custody. Authorities say that it...

'Celebrity Apprentice': Fans have advice for Trace Adkins, Fans of “Celebrity Apprentice” seem to believe that country star Trace Adkins will make it to the final two. Should that happen, they have some advice for the country crooner. In interviews conducted on April 27 and April 28, those fans shared what they thought Trace Adkins should do as an “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice” finalist. “When Trace [Adkins] makes the final two, he needs to refuse to have Omarosa on his team,” Trista Evans, a fan of both Trace Adkins and “Celebrity Apprentice” from Oklahoma City, said. “Trace needs to say 'Mr. Trump I'd rather be a person short than have her on my team.' I hope he does that.” Omarosa is not very popular with “Celebrity Apprentice” fans. Despite being the apprentice everyone loves to hate, fans of “Celebrity Apprentice” and Trace Adkins do not want her standing in the way of Trace Adkins winning. “I hope that Trace Adkins doesn't let Omarosa on his team,” Mandy ...

Sandy homeless: Tens of thousands affected by storms still homeless, Hurricane Sandy has come and left the headline news, but for thousands of homeless individuals in New York and New Jersey, the aftermath of the Superstorm is still a very real problem. The Utica Observer and Dispatch on April 28 carried an in-depth look at the families who are still without homes and forced to live in shelters, government housing or with family and friends. Six months after Superstorm Sandy rocked the eastern U.S. coast, tens of thousands of former homeowners in New York and New Jersey remain homeless and communities are still struggling to recover. Despite the frustrations and hardships, progress has been made as well. New boardwalks will be ready for summer along the beachfront tourist communities, and homes are being erected even as ruined ones are bulldozed. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says some people are doing just fine while others are facing ‘‘horrendous’’ obstacles to recovery. “Some families ...

Libyan police headquarters bombed in Benghazi, An improvised explosive device was detonated on Saturday morning outside of the local police headquarters in the Libyan city of Benghazi, according to an Israeli police and intelligence source who monitors North Africa. The bomb blast caused an enormous amount of property damage but only three officers sustained injuries and there were no reported deaths, according to Capt. Dennis Spielman. The bomb attack took place at 7 a.m., Libyan time, adjacent to the Fadil Buamr battalion, which had been the last stronghold of loyalists to Libya's executed dictator Moamar Khadhafi, according to Reuters. Police investigators told the media that there were no civilians at the police station when the blast occurred, and said the bomb was probably detonated by remote control. Saturday's bombing was the third time that the Benghazi police station was attacked. In January 2013, a bomb exploded at the back of the station but no one was killed or inj...

Austin Food and Wine Festival 2013- SUCCESS!, DAY 3 of the Austin Food and Wine Festival proves to be a success for the 2nd year in a row with a crowd of 2500 patrons each day. While many very well known chefs with both national and international influence has so graciously baptized the Austin food scene, I found myself eagerly drawn to the local culinary talent. We have seen the emergence of some fantastic food talent this weekend like that of La Condesa, Kent Rathbun, PhoNatic Vietnamese Cuisine, and specialty shops like Cake and Spoon. Other industries in the Austin area feeling the affects of this wave of appetizing attention are perveyors of great compliments to beautiful food such as the Texas Hill Country Olive Company, Delysia Chocolatier, and Butterface Bake Shop. Austin is moving out of its comfort zone and filling some big shoes where there is a culinary demand for the unique, the experimental and the weird.

Boston suspects trained: 6-month stay in Dagestan significant to case?, The Boston suspects might have been trained by a terrorist group. On April 28, NBC News reported that the older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a police shootout in Watertown, Mass. last week, did travel to Russia for 6 months and lawmakers are trying to figure out if he got some kind of terrorist training while he was there. "A key focus for investigators, centers on Tamerlan Tsarnaev's visit to Dagestan in 2012 and what he did during his 6-month stay. Authorities [say] they are weighing Russian reports on what they learned about Tamerlan while he was visiting family. The big question for lawmakers whether Tamerlan received training during his trip," NBC News reported. If the Boston suspects were trained by a terrorist group (or others who are pro-killing Americans), it could give investigators more leads. At this point in time, however, it does not seem as though the two brothers knew ...

FWC reports eighth panther death in Florida, The Miami Herald reported on Friday, April 26, that the remains of an endangered Florida panther were found on Friday at the Big Cypress National Preserve in southwest Florida. The five to six year old female with a tracking collar was the eighth panther death this year, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The dead panther, which appears to have been killed in a fight with another panther, has been taken to the FWC's Wildlife Research Lab in Gainesville for a necropsy. The Florida panther once roamed across the southeastern United States, but it is mainly found in south Florida. The FWC estimates that between 100 and 160 adult panthers remain in the wild, south of the Caloosahatchee River and Lake Okeechobee. Much of their habitat has been lost to development. Scientists say panthers need lots of land where they can hunt deer, wild hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits. Officials say five panthers ...

Boston suspects trained: Lawmakers believe bombing suspects had training, A report from the Associated Press on Sunday, April 28, 2013, states that lawmakers believe the Boston bombing suspects were professionally trained. Up until now, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, were said to have done everything on their own without any training, but others feel differently. The FBI is currently investigating overseas and in the United States to figure out if the Boston suspects had training that helped them do the crimes they did, per the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. SEE: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev moved to secure facility with small cell and steel door The Tsarnaev brothers had pressure-cooker bombs filled with nails, ball bearings, and shrapnel which were triggered by remote detonators.

9-year-old killed by intruder update: 'Huge manhunt' underway, A 9-year-old killed by an intruder has caused a "huge manhunt" in northern Calif. On April 28, Christian Post reported that residents in the are on edge as police search for a suspect who is believed to be "armed and dangerous." The little girl was stabbed several times when the intruder entered the home where she was left with her 12-year-old brother while her parents were out. "We're doing a house to house search and in some cases we're searching extensively into attics and storage sheds. It's a difficult area to search. It's rural, it's remote," said a spokesperson for the Calaveras County Sheriff's office. The 9-year-old killed by the intruder was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The suspect -- who is described as "a six-foot white or Latino man with long grey hair wearing blue pants and a black long-sleeve shirt" -- may have done this randomly ...

Earth permanently deformed: Chilean earthquakes have altered Earth, Everyone knows about the damage that earthquakes can do to people, buildings, and the planet as a whole, but did you realize that Earth could already be permanently deformed? A report on Sunday, April 28, 2013, by OurAmazingPlanet states that earthquakes over the past million years in Chile have already done the damage. Research from the past century suggests that Earth is pretty good at coming back from earthquakes thanks to parts of the crust springing back to the way they originally were. These types of rebounds have been documented as actually happening. Structural geologist Richard Allmendinger from Cornell University and some of his colleagues believe earthquakes are finally taking their toll. That group of brilliance believes that earthquakes with a magnitude of seven or greater has caused cracks in the crust. Those earthquakes, mostly in northern Chile, are said to have possibly made the Earth permanently defor...

Who kidnapped Jessica Heeringa?, It's been confirmed by multiple sources as of April 23, 2013 that Michigan woman Jessica Heeringa has been kidnapped. She went missing during a late night shift at an Exxon station in Norton Shores. The woman is reportedly a mother who wouldn't vanish like this, but that isn't the only clue that indicates she was abducted. Officers in the area are searching for a silver minivan -- possibly a Chrysler Town & Country, but there aren't many clarifications on this. NBC Wood TV 8 shares that an investigation is now fully underway. The missing woman's purse and other belongings were left behind when she was discovered to be missing, and it's being reported that she looked to be in the process of closing the store. There are apparently some kind of witnesses to what may be an abduction, as there is a description of the suspect. He is reportedly between the ages of 30 and 40 with a broad build, light brown wavy hair. He may have been...

Cheerleader too chunky? Blogger says Kelsey Williams too 'chunky' to cheer, A CBS Houston sports blogger has come under fire for questioning whether an Oklahoma City Thunder Girl was "too chunky" to be an NBA cheerleader. Omg! Yahoo reported April 28 that blogger Claire Crawford targeted Oklahoma City Thunder cheerleader Kelsey Williams' looks on the court after the Houston Rockets faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. "The Rockets looked terrible in Game 1, but some say they weren't the only bad-looking people on the court," Crawford wrote. While she conceded Williams was a "pretty blonde," she wrote Oklahoma City fans had criticized her for "having 'pudginess' around her waistline." "But if she's comfortable wearing that tiny outfit and dancing for NBA fans, then good for her," Crawford wrote. "Besides, not every man likes women to be toothpick skinny. I...

Surrender?: Lakers give away white towels before game four against Spurs, The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to stay in the NBA Playoffs when they face off with the San Antonio Spurs in a must-win game against the San Antonio Spurs on the evening of Sunday, April 28, 2013. Luckily, they'll be playing at home and they wanted fans in the Staples Center to get riled up so they gave each one a special treat upon entering the door. It's too bad that they gave each fan a white "surrender" flag. The Lakers really didn't think this whole thing through. Yahoo Sports revealed that the white towel giveaway does indeed match the white home uniforms the Lakers will wear for Sunday's possible elimination game.

U.S., Japan, South Korea should link missile defenses, general says, The United States, Japan and South Korea should integrate their missile defense systems to better protect themselves against a potential North Korean nuclear attack, a top American general said April 27. U.S. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the American Forces Press Service (AFPS) that a combined system linking the ground-based, aerial and maritime assets of all three nations would be "better than the sum of its individual parts." Dempsey made his comments after a week-long trip to Northeast Asia, including Japan and South Korea. He reportedly discussed the trilateral arrangement idea with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts. While acknowledging that political friction exists between Japan and South Korea, partly due to Japan's occupation of Korea in the first half of the 20th century, he encouraged both countries to set those differences aside and focus on...

According to the Huffington Post Los Angeles, Tulsa, Philadelphia, and San Diego want the Olympic Games. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) chief executive Scott Blackmun said of the ten cities, "He declined to identify other cities considered as potential candidates,:" as for the other six, "they preferred to keep it confidential for now." The Summer Olympics has not been held in the United States since 1996.

Boston suspects trained: Suspects in Boston attack trained to kill Americans?, As the investigations into the Boston Marathon bombings continue, the FBI has put their focus on data recovered from 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s online social media and Instagram accounts. According to an April 28 NBC40.net report, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said Sunday that the FBI is now investigating as to whether Dzhokhar and his older brother, Tamerlan, received training that helped them carry out the attack. Investigators are trying to determine if the brothers received training or advice on using the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that were triggered by a remote detonator. The detonators were the kind used in remote-control toys, U.S. officials have said. Thus far, the FBI has produced no evidence that would indicate a wider plot, including training, direction or funding for the attacks. "I think given the level of sophistication of this device, the fact that...

N.M church stabbing: Choir members stabbed by knife-wielding man in attendance, Albuquerque police have an identity for the man accused of stabbing four people at a Catholic church in Albuquerque as the Sunday mass was nearing its end. The LA Times reported April 28 on the church stabbing. Police spokesman Robert Gibbs says 24-year-old Lawrence Capener is now in custody and is expected to face felony charges. Investigators say Capener jumped over several pews at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church around noon Sunday, walked up to the choir area and then began stabbing members of the church, some of which were choir singers.

An off-duty police officer in attendance for the service, as well as other good Samaritans, rushed to subdue the crazed man before he could inflict further harm. Capener was held him until police arrived. The stabbings occurred as the choir had just begun its closing hymns. Archbishop...

Mom kills baby daughter: Mother of nine deliberately smothers newborn, Sad news out of Arizona comes on Sunday, April 28, 2013, as a 36-year-old mother of nine children has been arrested for allegedly killing her own newborn daughter. The Inquisitr reports that Nina Koistinen is accused of deliberately smothering her six-day old daughter, and ninth child overall, named Maya. Local police state that Koistinen intentionally smothered Maya back on April 8, 2013. She did it by covering the child's mouth and pinching her nose so that she could no longer breathe.

Army doesn't want tanks: Army being forced into $436 million in tank upgrades, In an archetypal tale that highlights runaway government spending and the gross misuse of taxpayer dollars, Congress is set to drop $436 million dollars on new tanks for the U.S. Army. The caveat? The Army doesn’t even want them. According to an April 28 MSN Now report, over the past two years, nearly half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds have been earmarked for upgrades to the hulking M1 Abrams tank, an American third-generation main battle tank. At a cost of $7.5 million per tank, the Army argues that the money would be better spent elsewhere. The Abrams tank, built to dominate in combat, is proving equally hard to balance in an ongoing budget battle. The 70-ton tanks have been set for upgrades despite senior Army officials repeatedly saying, 'Thanks but no thanks.' “If we had our choice, we would use that money in a different way,” Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army's chief of staff, told The A...

NBA Player Death Threats, Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverley allegedly received death threats via Twitter from Oklahoma City Thunder ball boy Mitchell Brown after Game 2, according to the Houston Chronicle. Thunder star Russell Westbrook suffered a torn lateral meniscus in his right knee in Game 2 when Beverley lunged at him attempting a steal. Some believe the play was dirty. Brown has since denied tweeting the death threats, saying his account was hacked. Either way, it's an unpleasant turn of events for a young player who has played very well in his postseason debut. Beverley, selected in the second round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, experienced his first regular-season action in the NBA this season. In 41 regular-season games, he averaged 5.6 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in about 17 minutes per contest. Despite not scoring in double digits since March 24, he hit that mark in each of his first two postseason games, posting 11 points, four rebounds...

Sandy Homeless, The 9-year-old girl who got New Jersey's tough-guy governor to shed a tear as he comforted her after her home was destroyed is bummed because she now lives far from her best friend and has nowhere to hang her One Direction posters. A New Jersey woman whose home was overtaken by mold still cries when she drives through the area. A New York City man whose home burned can't wait to build a new one. Six months after Superstorm Sandy devastated the Jersey shore and New York City and pounded coastal areas of New England, the region is dealing with a slow and frustrating, yet often hopeful, recovery. Tens of thousands of people remain homeless. Housing, business, tourism and coastal protection all remain major issues with the summer vacation – and hurricane – seasons almost here again.

Montana's Son 49ers, Duron Carter will get an opportunity with his father's Minnesota Vikings, so it only makes sense that the undrafted son of Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana is bound for the San Francisco 49ers. Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reported Sunday that the 49ers have invited Nate Montana to attend their upcoming rookie minicamp, according to the quarterback's agent. Montana, 23, put forth a positive showing at the team's local pro day earlier this month. Like Duron, the pass-catching son of receiver Cris Carter, Nate is a stretch to make an NFL roster. "It's going to be hard for him to transition to the next level," NFL.com's Bucky Brooks told Around The League before the 2013 NFL Draft. "His passes don't have zip. He has difficulty making pro throws." Montana's wandering four-stop college experience saw him flame out at Notre Dame before landing with Division II West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he topped the ...

The younger Carter has been invited to tryout at the Minnesota Vikings' rookie camp as an undrafted free agent, according to his agent. However, he also has an invitation to try out at the Baltimore Ravens' rookie camp, but hasn't decided which invitation to accept. These are good opportunities for a player with tremendous talent but a lot of baggage weighing him down. Carter was dismissed from the Ohio State and Alabama programs for academic (OSU) and unspecified (Alabama) reasons. He played one season at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College and spent last season practicing with Florida Atlantic. Carter could not obtain a waiver to play for FAU. Duron and Cris both told USA TODAY Sports last week the experiences over the past few years have humbled Duron, whose work ethic has been questioned in the past by teammates and coaches. "I know there aren't a lot of better receivers than him in this draft. That's not a guess; I know. I know wide receivers," Cris ...

Tsarnaev Steel Door, The Boston Marathon bombing suspect is being held in a small cell with a steel door at a federal medical detention center about 40 miles outside the city, a federal official said Saturday. Federal Medical Center Devens spokesman John Collauti described the conditions under which 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was being held in the Ayer facility after being moved there from a hospital Friday. Tsarnaev was injured during a police chase Thursday in which his brother, also a suspect in the bombing, was fatally wounded. Collauti said in a telephone interview that Tsarnaev is in secure housing where authorities can monitor him. His cell has a solid steel door with an observation window and a slot for passing food and medication. Collauti wouldn’t discuss specific details related to Tsarnaev, but said that typically medical workers making rounds each shift monitor the inmates. He said guards also keep an eye on some cells with video cameras. Also, inmates in the more restr...

Prison Riot 13 Dead, Thirteen people were killed and some 65 injured in a prison riot yesterday in the central Mexican state of San Luis Potosi, local officials said. A fight broke out before daybreak among prisoners in a cell block in the La Pila prison in the state capital of San Luis Potosi, and state police re-established control by the morning, officials said. Concepcion Tovar, head of the state’s prison system, told reporters that at least 100 inmates participated in the riot, which she blamed on a gang that had been harassing and robbing other inmates. State officials said via social media that 13 people were killed and about 65 were injured in the riot. They did not make clear whether all those killed or injured were inmates. The deaths were caused by sharp objects and other improvised weapons, Tovar said. It was unclear if the violence was linked to drug gangs, whose turf wars and battles over trafficking routes to the United States have spread across Mexico. Deadly riots have...

Tulsa wants the 2024 Summer Olympics, Although Tulsa is a small city, they still received a letter from the US Olympic Committee that asked if they'd be interested in hosting the summer games. According to an April 27 report by Inquisitr, despite the changes Tulsa would have to make, they are very interested in hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics. Tulsa has a lot of work to do if they want to host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The city of about 400,000 would have to add hotel rooms, build and pay for an Olympic stadium and come up with the $3.5 billion, the expected cost of hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics. “Oklahoma City would be a much better choice,” Kevin Stafford, from Oklahoma City, said. “We wouldn't have to do near the work Tulsa would. We have hotels, all sorts of sporting venues with the colleges and universities. I think Oklahoma City could handle it with only a few changes.” Although that is a lot of work and money, it would be well worth it for Tulsa. Eight million ticket...
