PASADENA (Pumpkin Vandalism) 300 pound pumpkin destroyed

---

PASADENA — Prize-winning gardener Mae Powell's giant pumpkins have been a source of pride in her east Pasadena neighborhood for years, but neighbors were shocked Friday morning to see the pumpkins in pieces strewn along the street in front of her house.

One of the pumpkins destroyed was a 300 pound “giant pumpkin” Powell, 93, was planning to enter into the “Pumpkinmania” weigh-off contest in Irvine this October. But now, she said, it's ruined.

year I win a prize,” she said, “but I can't enter this one now. ... Who knows what I'll do.”

Powell had also planned to donate the other four broken pumpkins to the Huntington Library's Children's Garden, which she has done for five years.

Powell said she filed a police report and is offering a $1,000 reward for anyone with information about the vandalism.

Powell filed a vandalism report with the Temple City Sheriff's Station, but Lt. Ignacio Somoano said there was no “workable information” at this point. Ignacio said the vandalism caused $200 in damage.

MADONNA ( 2 Hours late for Concert) Fan tells CBS "she stinks"

What's up with Madonna's concert behavior? She's flashed body parts, performed with a swastika superimposed on her face, pointed a gun at herself on stage, and now she's irritated fans by making them wait two and a half hours past the scheduled starting time of her Philadelphia concert.
According to CBS Philly, the premiere stop on her first U.S. tour in four years was scheduled for an 8 p.m. start Tuesday night. Eight o'clock came and went. So did eight-thirty. So did nine o'clock. Fans waited, and waited, and waited, and the singer finally came out on stage around 10:30 p.m. That was too late to stick around for some fans.
“I don’t know who you think you are Madonna, but you stink,” Debbie Bleznak told CBS on her way out of the show. “We left. You can pay my babysitter.”
“We drove here seven hours from Buffalo, New York,” two sisters, who also opted to leave, added. “$170 a ticket.”

CHICKEN News (Flower Mound) Texas -Residents allowed to have 3 Chicks per acre

Tuesday night, the town’s animal services board voted 5-0 to recommend an amendment to the town’s code of ordinances as it relates to chickens and roosters.

Board member Christine Hastings, who works for the town’s animal services division, abstained, voicing her concerns on the amendment.
Specifically, the ordinance would allow residents living on less than one acre to have a maximum of three chickens.

The current ordinance prohibits residents from having chickens on lots less than one acre.

The amendment also calls for the coop or encaged structure to be located no closer than 10 feet from a property line.
The amendment also specifically outlines the regulations for roosters. Roosters would be allowed on property of one acre or greater. That was the previous regulation, but roosters had been grouped with fowl in its ordinance, and this amendment is aimed to further clarify rules on roosters.

The town council must vote on the ordinance, and it is unclear when the council will see the item. If a zoning change is needed, the planning and zoning commission may see the item as well.
Tuesday’s vote moves forward an issue that had stalled months ago. Some residents had asked the town to change its ordinance to allow chickens on property of less than one acre. But confusion about various recommendations and legal issues kept the item from progressing until Tuesday.

Black Bear CUB (rescued) From fires in Idaho SALMON River

HAMILTON – The burned, orphaned black bear cub that was rescued from the Mustang Complex of fires along Idaho’s Salmon River has become a national celebrity, according to state wildlife experts who are nursing it back to health.
Nicknamed Boo Boo by his rescuers, the 4-month-old bear, with severe second-degree burns on all four paws, was found in a tree by a fisherman last weekend.

The cub hadn’t eaten in four or five days, but Idaho state veterinarian Mark Drew has been caring for and feeding the cub for the past week while he tries to locate a suitable wildlife rehabilitation facility that can adequately care for the animal.
According to Idaho Fish and Game conservation educator Evin Oneale, the young bear’s saga of fire-related injuries and rescue by national forest and Idaho Fish and Game personnel spread across the country in a matter of hours. Boise National Forest and Idaho Fish and Game offices have been inundated with phone calls and emails from people offering good wishes and monetary support, and many others have asked about volunteer opportunities to care for the cub.
“We’ve heard from folks all across Idaho and from other states, including California, Texas and New York,” Oneale said. “Each note or phone call has the same common theme – concern for this young bear.”

Because of the severity of its burns, the young bear faces a long recovery, Oneale explained.
“Infection is the main concern right now,” he said. “At this time, our state veterinarian is evaluating local facilities that can give the cub the medical attention it needs to make a full recovery.”
Meanwhile, Oneale said, the cub is being cared for at a Fish and Game facility where it is eating regularly and receiving necessary medical care.
Monetary donations have been one of the common themes among people contacting the office, Oneale said.
“We have no good mechanism to accept donations related to this bear cub’s treatment,” he explained. “Once a care facility is selected, we’ll let people know where and how they can provide funding to cover the costs of care and treatment.”
The Ravalli Republic has been flooded with calls and emails from people across the country concerned for the bear as well, with many offering monetary support or other services.
Richard Gilbreth of the International Exotic Animals Sanctuary in Boyd, Texas, called to say he would even arrange to fly to Idaho to pick up the bear.
“We have a large sanctuary here in Texas, and we take in orphaned and abused and abandoned animals,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of bears. We have a five-acre natural habitat. And we were certified by the National Association of Zoos and Aquariums. They live on site just like they live in the wild. They dig dens and everything. So he’s got a home if they want to send him down this way. I’ve offered to fly up and pick him up.”
Gilbreth is just one of many people who have been touched by the bear’s story.
“It’s gotten a lot of attention,” Oneale said. “It’s very gratifying to know that so many people care.”

U.S DRONE (Kills 5 more ) HAWK on Crack~~~>

ISLAMABAD (AP) — U.S. drones fired a barrage of missiles at a vehicle and a house in a Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan on Saturday, killing at least five suspected militants, Pakistani officials said.

The "Hawk on Crack" kills five more !

 

The strikes in the North Waziristan tribal area were the first since news that a top commander of the powerful Haqqani militant network was killed in a drone strike late last month, also in the tribal region.

Two intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief the media, said U.S. drones fired seven missiles at targets in the village of Degan in an area of North Waziristan close to the Afghan border.

They said the area is dominated by anti-American militant commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur, but they did not know whether the men killed belonged to his group.

MEXICO (CIA Shooting ) Families Protest over arrest of 14 Mexican Police Officers

American agents who were shot last Friday, along with a Captain of the Marina of Mexico, as they headed to the shooting range and Marines Infantry training field located Xalatlaco area, belong to the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA, for its acronym in English), confirmed official sources close to the investigation, which added that the attack took place after the attackers were in close view of the diplomatic vehicle occupants.

According to the obtained information by this newspaper, the aggression against the American agents and of the marine was direct and the fact that there were no fatal victims, it was because the Toyota SUV they were travelling in was amour grade 7 ( highest level).

The reports given the same day of the incident, which occurred near Tres Marias, Morelos, the U.S. embassy reported that it had been an ambush , while the Federal Police said it had been a confusion

.Interception

The information from the Attorney General's Office (PGR) said that the CIA agents who were to conduct follow up shooting courses at the Marine Corps Training Field. As they traveled in the stretch of dirt known as El Capulin, in Xalatlaco, Mexico State, they encountered a Dodge Van with several heavily armed civilians who, at gunpoint, forced them to stop.

While not aiming their weapons, two of them approached the Toyota. , Suddenly, the driver of the U.S. embassy vehicle abruptly threw the vehicle in reverse while turning it around then sped to the federal highway with the gunmen shooting at the vehicle in full pursuit.

The pursuit grows

During the pursuit a second vehicle, a Sentra, appeared attempting to block the embassy vehicle, while four gumen in the Sentra opened fire with heavy artillery.

During the chase, and with two vehicles in pursuit, they passed through a village near a junction, where eight plainclothes men in two vehicles, joined the Toyota aggression and also began firing weapons.

Now chased by four cars, and U.S. agents tried to signal Marines at a gas station, but after failing the pursuit continued. When reaching the junction there awaited a fifth vehicle, that joined the chase and also began shooting.

Once in the federal highway, because of the impact damage, the Toyota was immobilized and yet still sustaining shots of high-caliber weapons. One of the assailants with an AK-47 (cuerno de chivo/goat horn) blasted the armored diplomatic vehicle. It was during the attack with the AK47 when U.S. agents were injured, they were in the front seats and the Marina officer in the rear.

The informant added that directly after the shooting ceased three Federal Police vehicles arrived at the scene.

Federal agents got out of their patrol cars with weapons drawn. One of them approached the Toyota and was when officers identified themselves as U.S. diplomats.

Fourteen federal officers involved in the attack have been detained and transfered to a Mexico City prison for a 40 day hold, until the investigation can clarify exactly what occurred. In the photo above families of the officers involved are protesting this action.

Los Angeles to BILL (GIRLS who DIED BEING HERO'S) for ambulance fee's

Los Angeles still plans to bill families of Irma Zamora and Stacey Schreiber (Yahoo News composite. Original images …The families of two Good Samaritans who were electrocuted after racing to the scene of a car wreck will still be charged for ambulance fees by the city of Los Angeles.

On August 22, Irma Zamora and Stacey Schreiber died after rushing to the scene of a car wreck. Four others were also injured in the incident, after an estimated 4,800 volts of power flowing from a snapped streetlight fixture made contact with water spewing from a broken fire hydrant at the scene of the car accident.

Earlier it was reported that city officials might find a way to waive the fees, which are estimated to be around $1,000 per person. The four other injured victims will also reportedly be billed for emergency services.

LAist reports that City Councilman Paul Krekorian is holding a press conference on Thursday during which he will announce plans to help raise funds for the victims' families.

"No one who puts themselves in harm's way should have to struggle to pay the bills that accrue as a result of their altruism," Krekorian said in a statement.

City fire officials say they do not have the power to circumvent municipal codes and waive the mandatory paramedic fees, even in cases during which a citizen is accidentally injured or killed

TEXAS (RAPE Suspect) Eric McGowen leaves during courtroom break (Wanted)

LIBERTY, Texas (AP) — The first defendant to face trial among a group of men and boys accused of repeatedly raping a young Texas girl vanished Wednesday during a break in the proceedings, following emotionally charged testimony from the alleged victim.

Eric McGowen, 20, is among 14 adults accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl during a nearly three-month span in 2010. Six juveniles also were charged.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys huddled briefly with Judge Mark Morefield after McGowen failed to return to the courtroom following an afternoon break. The judge then told jurors the trial will go on without him.

Morefield later said a bench warrant had been issued, and McGowen's bail was increased from $35,000 to $250,000. The judge denied a defense motion for a continuance in the case and said the trial will resume Thursday morning.

"Your client left voluntarily," Morefield told defense attorney Matthew Poston.

Poston and prosecutors did not comment outside the courtroom because of a gag order in the case.

McGowen is charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and faces up to life in prison if convicted.

MEXICO Officials said ( CIA Agents were SHOT) By mexican police

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican officials said Wednesday that two Americans wounded in a shooting attack by federal police on a U.S. Embassy vehicle are employees of the Central Intelligence Agency, and acknowledged they have returned to the United States.

A Mexican federal official whose agency does not allow him to be quoted by name said the wounded Americans are CIA employees. U.S. officials wouldn't confirm which agency the men work for or say what work they were performing in Mexico.

On Tuesday, the Mexican navy issued a statement saying the Americans were visiting a training course being held in a rural, mountainous area south of Mexico City. Some local press had previously said the Americans were acting as trainers or instructors.

Mexican Attorney General Marisela Morales was asked Wednesday why the two Americans were allowed to return to the U.S. even though an investigation is under way. She said they were allowed to go "so that they can be treated in the place they think is safest."

Morales said they could testify later in the case of 12 federal police officers who allegedly shot at their vehicle Friday.

SECRET Service Agent (LEAVES Gun in Bathroom ) For Reporter to find -Romney Detail

TAMPA - A member of Mitt Romney's Secret Service detail was removed today from a campaign trip after she accidentally left her firearm unattended in the candidate's charter plane bathroom.

The agent in question left a gun unattended in the bathroom of the plane during a flight between Tampa and Indiana. The gun was found by a reporter on board who immediately informed the agent, who then went back into the bathroom and retrieved the weapon.

Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the United States Secret Service, told ABC News that officials are "aware of the incident."

"We take the care and custody of our equipment - especially firearms - very seriously," he said. "We will deal with this matter internally and in an appropriate manner."

The Romney campaign referred all questions regarding the incident to the Secret Service.

The gun was left in the bathroom primarily used by media in the back of the plane. Romney and his staff sit in the front several rows of the plane and the candidate uses the forward bathroom.

It was not immediately clear if the gun was loaded or on a safety lock, but the agent was on active duty at the time of the incident.

Following a campaign event in Indiana, the agent in question never re-boarded the flight back to Tampa.

89 Year OLD Man (Olympic Athlete 2012) Table Tennis Team

Bill Guilfoil from Fairway at 89 competed for a spot on the Olympic table tennis team at the trials earlier this year.

Among the 486 Olympic athletes for 2012 listed by Team USA, you find some familiar names: Michael Phelps, Gabrielle Douglas, Ryan Lochte and Allyson Felix.
Here’s one you might not have heard: Fairway resident Bill Guilfoil
What makes Guilfoil’s name stand out on the official U.S. Olympic Committee list of athletes for the 2012 games is not just the fact that he lives in Fairway, but that he will turn 90 years old in November. While Guilfoil did not make the team traveling to London, he did compete in the Olympic trials in February in North Carolina in the Olympic sport of table tennis. According to the U.S. Olympic Committee, that makes him an official Olympic athlete for 2012.
Although Phelps and company are household names around the country for their Olympic exploits, Guilfoil has long been a household name around Johnson County and the Kansas City metro for his long career as both a tennis and table tennis teacher and competitor. Now 89, he still teaches tennis several hours per week at the Overland Park Racquet Club and runs the Sunday table tennis competitions. Guilfoil has been teaching tennis at the club for 35 years, since the day it opened.
“Bill definitely is our role model,” says club general manager John Shaw. “If we could all be in as good of shape as he’s in, we would be doing well.”
“I don’t have any problems with my knees,” Guilfoil says. “I feel like I can still move and turn.”
In the North Carolina trials, Guilfoil lost to Rocky Wang, who in turn lost to the top-rated player in the playoff. At this point, the Olympic committee can’t tell if Guilfoil is the oldest athlete to enter an Olympic trial because the records are kept on athletes who participate in the games, but they cannot point to anyone older who has entered.

NEW DOCTOR ( Rules Max ShacKnai Death Homicide) Rebecca Zahau Case

The young boy’s death was thought to be an accident at first, but that just didn’t settle right with grieving mother, Dina Shacknai. NBC News reports that days after Max was found dead, his father’s girlfriend was found dead as well. Rebecca Zahau was found hanging nude from a second story balcony in the same house where Max died. Zahau’s death on July 14 was ruled a suicide by the San Diego Sherrif’s Department.

“Things just didn’t add up to me, so I hired independent experts to review the findings,” Dina said in a statement given to reporters on Monday. “When I started this process all I knew is that I wanted the truth, wherever that led, like any parent would.”

Newser states that Dina hired two experts to help her in finding the truth about her son’s death. She hired San Francisco-based forensics pathologist Dr. Judy Melinek and injury biomechanics expert Dr. Robert Bove to review the details of the case. After reviewing the case, they both concluded that Max was likely beaten before he fell from the balcony. They say this attack could have led to the young boy’s fall. He could have been pushed over or he could have jumped or fell over the railing while trying to get away from his attacker. Dr. Melinek is calling the ”accidental death” classification of Max’s death ”inaccurate.”

“It would be more accurate to certify that manner as a homicide, where homicide is defined as death at the hands of another,” Melinek said in the statement.

On Monday, Dina showed the team’s findings to the Coronado Police Department and requested them to re-open the case.

MONTANA Man (KILLED pretending to be BIGFOOT) HIT by CAR

A Montana man was struck and killed by cars Sunday night while trying to hoax a Bigfoot sighting. The Montana Highway Patrol reported that Randy Lee Tenley of Kalispell was pronounced dead at the scene on U.S. Highway 93 south of Kalispell after being hit by two cars consecutively.

Tenley was wearing a military-style ghillie suit, which is a type of camouflage that resembles vegetation or foliage. Police interviewed Tenley's friends to determine why he would be wearing a full-length dark ghillie suit in the right-hand lane of the highway at night, and were apparently told of Tenley's nocturnal Bigfoot-inspired mischief.

Trooper Jim Schneider, interviewed by the Daily Inter Lake.com, said that Tenley "was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting. You can't make it up. I haven't seen or heard anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him."

12 Mexican (POLICE) Detained by Judge in the SHOOTING of U.S Embassy employees

MEXICO CITY, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Twelve Mexican federal police have been detained in an investigation of how two U.S. Embassy employees were wounded after being caught up in a police chase on the outskirts of the capital, authorities said on Monday.

Attorney General Marisela Morales said a judge had ordered the officers remain in custody for 40 days. They have not been charged with any offense in Friday's incident but she said prosecutors were looking into possible abuse of authority.

"We are not ruling out any kind of wrongdoing or any line of investigation," Morales told reporters. "We are asking for them to be detained so that we have the time necessary to conduct an exhaustive investigation."

Officials said on Friday police fired on the embassy workers' vehicle, which had diplomatic license plates, after the driver veered out of the way when he saw the officers' weapons.

The latest incident took place on a highway on the southern outskirts of Mexico City close to the city of Cuernavaca, which has been ravaged by criminal gangs during the government's conflict with drug cartels.

17 Afghans (KILLED for DANCING) Beheaded -Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents beheaded 17 civilians in a Taliban-controlled area of southern Afghanistan, apparently because they attended a dance party that flouted the extreme brand of Islam embraced by the militants, officials said Monday.

The killings, in a district where U.S. Marines have battled the Taliban for years, were a reminder of how much power the insurgent group still wields in the south — particularly as international forces draw down and hand areas over to Afghan forces.

The victims were part of a large group that had gathered late Sunday in Helmand province's Musa Qala district for a celebration involving music and dancing, said district government chief Neyamatullah Khan. He said the Taliban slaughtered them to show their disapproval of the event.
All of the bodies were decapitated but it was not clear if they had been shot first, said provincial government spokesman Daoud Ahmadi.
Information was only trickling out slowly because the area where the killings occurred is largely Taliban controlled, Khan said. The Taliban spokesman for southern Afghanistan could not be reached for comment.

MEXICO ( HIGHWAYS BLOCKED Shooting) Drug Cartel-Guadalajara

Chaos In Guadalajara As It Experiences A Surge In Violence

Sunday, August 26, 2012 | Borderland Beat ReporterChivis

Borderland Beat

Gunmen created narco blockades blocking highways throughout Guadalajara, Mexico's second biggest city. On Saturday vehicles were set on fire amid a surge in drug-war violence.

Though no official information has been released, information is flowing through Twitter and other social networks. Reports of large groups and convoys of heavily armed masked men were conducting shootings, blockades and terrorizing people throughout Jalisco.

Reports from: Guadalajara, Zapopan, Guzman, Tuxucca, Tlaquepaque, Tonila and Tlajomulco among other cities involved.

Police confirmed seven unauthorized roadblocks constructed with charred, smoldering cars and trucks within the Guadalajara city limits and 15 others in the surrounding Jalisco .

Six were reportedly killed on Saturday. others seriously wounded by gunfire, but no arrests had been made.

Luis Carlos Najera, police chief for Jalisco state, told reporters"We don't know who is behind this operation," he said.

Guadalajara has not seen the level of drug cartel-related violence as other areas, but similar flaming roadblocks shook the city in early March as military forces successfully sought to arrest a prominent cartel leader.

Jalisco state has been a stronghold of the Sinaloa Cartel since the 1980s, when traffickers first started to use Mexico as a "trampoline" to bounce cocaine into the United States.

It has recently seen an upsurge in violence as Sinaloa Cartel gunmen battle rivals from the Zetas cartel, which is displacing older trafficking groups in many parts of Mexico.

U.S DRONE (kills 25 on Tuesday) Afghan (Haqqani)Leader Killed

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A CIA drone strike in Pakistan may have killed the operational commander of the Haqqani network, the insurgent group behind some of the most high-profile attacks on Western and Afghan government targets in Afghanistan, Pakistani intelligence officials and militant sources said on Saturday.

The officials said Badruddin Haqqani, who is also believed to handle the network's vital business interests and smuggling operations, may have been killed during a drone strike this week in Pakistan's tribal North Waziristan region.

One senior Pakistani intelligence official said Badruddin had fled a compound that he and other militants were in after it was hit by a missile, then was killed by a second drone strike on a car that he was in.

There was no official word on Badruddin's fate from the Haqqani network. Other intelligence officials were more cautious.

"The Lone Wolf kills 25 on  tuesday but misses the mark"!

on Friday his second missile hits the mark.

"Our informers have told us that he has been killed in the drone attack on the 21st but we cannot confirm it," said one of the Pakistani intelligence officials.
If Badruddin's death is confirmed, it could deal a major blow to the Haqqanis, one of the United States's most feared enemies in Afghanistan.

The Haqqanis are the most experienced fighters in Afghanistan and the loss of one of the group's most important leaders could ease pressure on NATO as it prepares to withdraw most of its combat troops at the end of 2014.

"We are 90 percent sure that he was in the same house which was attacked with a drone on Tuesday," said another Pakistani intelligence official.

Sources close to the Haqqqani network also said Badruddin was believed to be in the house, hit by a drone strike as militants were planting explosives in a vehicle meant to be used for an attack on NATO forces in Afghanistan.

"The drone fired two missiles on the house last Tuesday and killed 25 people, most of them members of the Haqqani family," one of the sources said.

Pakistani Taliban and tribal sources said they believed Badruddin was killed in the drone attack.

One of Badruddin's relatives said he was alive and busy with his "jihad activities".

"Such claims are baseless," he told Reuters. Another relative told Reuters Badruddin is "alive and well".

Afghanistan's Taliban movement, allies of the Haqqani network, said Badruddin was alive.

U.S DRONES or Lone Wolf (Used in MEXICO) Drug Wars

The Mexican government confirmed Wednesday that it had authorized the use of U.S. drones to collect intelligence on several occasions, a new sign of the two countries’ intensifying cooperation against the drug cartels threatening Mexico.
The statement from Mexico’s presidential office said the drones had been requested for “specific occasions and events” and had been operated under the supervision of its government.

Lone Wolf  unarmed in mexico "so they say"

Watches  like "A Hawk on Crack"

But until now, the flights were secret, apparently out of concern about a possible backlash in Mexico. Mexican politicians and the public have historically been highly sensitive to U.S. involvement in the country.
The use of the drones was first reported by the New York Times, which said the Pentagon began sending high-altitude, unarmed drones deep into Mexico last month.
The Mexican government statement did not specify which U.S. agency was running the drones, and presidential spokesman Alejandro Poire did not return a call for comment.

The U.S. government has flown drones on the American side of the border for years. American officials have publicly hinted that the United States shares information from those flights with Mexico. Those drones are operated by the Department of Homeland Security.
On Wednesday, asked about the latest disclosure, one senior U.S. official said: “It’s been a process of cooperation over time, and so some suggestion that this is 10 days old wouldn’t be accurate.” The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
The Pentagon referred calls to the Mexican government.
The U.S. and Mexican governments have rapidly expanded their cooperation in recent years against cartels that have been waging a ferocious war for control of drug markets and routes in Mexico. More than 35,000 people have been killed since President Felipe Calderon launched a military offensive against the cartels in 2006.
Some Mexican opposition politicians lashed out at the government for the secret drone flights.
“There are constitutional regulations that have to do with Mexican airspace,” Rosario Green, a former foreign minister and a senator from the Institutional Revolutionary Party, told the newspaper Reforma. “If there is nothing to hide, why not debate it in Congress, which at the end of the day has a lot to do with maintaining our national sovereignty?”
