(BLIND man) FLEE'S CHINA PRISON (Activist) ACTOR Christian Bale ROUGHED up by CHINESE PRISON GUARD

Blind legal activist Chen Guangcheng holds a petition in his village home in Linyi in eastern Shandong province, in this still image taken from file video. Chen, one of China's most prominent human rights advocates, has escaped from home imprisonment, activists said on April 27, 2012, but uncertainty over his whereabouts and fears about his health have worried supporters.

Chen and his wife endured a "brutal four-hour beating" by local authorities last July, ChinaAid has said.

Last year, dozens of supporters were blocked from visiting Chen. Many of them were beaten by men in plain clothes.

In December, Hollywood actor and "Batman" star Christian Bale was roughed up by security guards while trying to visit Chen. Bale had been in China to promote a movie with Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

 Chen, a self-schooled legal advocate who campaigned against forced abortions, had been restricted to his home since September 2010 when he was released from jail. REUTERS/Chinaaid via Reuters TV/Handout

MAN DRESSES as (DEAD MOTHER) 6 YRS TO Collect HER CHECKS

Jurors in a New York court will see surveillance footage today of a man who allegedly dressed up as his dead mother for six years to cash her Social Security checks, even going as far as visiting the DMV for a new license in the get-up.

Crazy Dude

Thomas Prusik-Parkin is accused of collecting more than $115,000 on his mother Irene Prusik's government benefits and rent subsidies for six years following her death in 2003.

In what the Brooklyn district attorney's office called an "elaborate fraud," Parkin and an accomplice allegedly appropriated Social Security benefits, social service payments and a townhouse, all while Parkin was dressed as his deceased 77-year-old mother.

MAD COW (Disease) CASE FOUND in CENTRAL California

The United States Department of Agriculture confirmed Tuesday that it found a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in a dairy cow from central California.

This is the nation's fourth confirmed case of the ailment commonly known as mad cow disease.

John Clifford, the USDA's chief veterinary officer, said the animal was never presented for slaughter for human consumption, so it at no time presented a risk to the food supply or human health. Additionally, milk does not transmit BSE.

The USDA has begun contacting world agencies and trading partners but does not expect the finding to affect beef exports.

Earlier rumors sent live cattle futures plummeting on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange by as much as 3-cent-per-lb daily limit as a result of a mass sell-off, reports Reuters.
