Girl will die because she can't pay for medicine
Medicaid Drops Heart Transplant Recipient's Coverage. "I honestly want to think that nothing will happen," says Arielle Moye. But the 19 year old high school honors student can't help but wonder about her future. Without prescription coverage, Brown doesn't know how she'll pay for Arielle's $3200 a month anti-rejection heart medication. A cocktail of 14 prescriptions she must take for the rest of her life. "She gets sick and she'll die," says Brown.She says she's received nothing but rejection from insurance companies. "She doesn't qualify for this insurance but why don't you try another insurance," says Brown. But Arielle is keeping her faith in God and her family as she prepares to face an uncertain future. "Well you have to be optimistic during the darkest days," says Moye. Arielle will graduate high school this summer with honors. From there she plans to major inJournalism at the Art Institute of Charleston…

Endangered turtle could put snag in resort casino project
Endangered turtle could put snag in resort casino project. Will be addressed in March hearing… Opponents of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's plan for a resort casino in Middleborough have found a potential ally in their bid to block the project. Weighing in at 10 pounds and favoring naps in the sun, it is the northern red-bellied cooter, a turtle that is listed on both state and federal endangered species lists… always we should ask how that kind of endangered animals does appear there suddenly…???

A poison gift to the community
£1m 'poison' gift by widow splits village. Locals in the Loire valley say too high a price will be paid to benefit from a 'miraculous' bequest…Not only will the village get the £1m only if the Avenue de la République is renamed after her, her favourite paintings are hung in the mayor's office and her house is sold not to local people but, quelle horreur, 'only to people from Paris', but Louart has added a further condition: that the money is spent on building council houses to be let at peppercorn rates to poor or destitute families. It is a prospect that is far from filling every inhabitant with joy. 'It's a dilemma. Accepting the money will change the village entirely and I like it as it is,' said one 62-year-old local woman, who refused to give her name because 'in a little community you never know. It's her revenge on us all. You can see from her photo that she had a nasty streak.'…

Escaping from a locked coffin
It's a proven fact that throughout the ages, people have been buried alive and usually found too late. This guy decides to see if he can escape from a locked coffin. He gets points for just locking himself in one which is creepy enough, but nobody would escape from a coffin that's buried six feet deep…

Demolition of pensioners homes in Spain
Spanish 'persecuting' expatriates over homes. Hundreds of Britons fear that they could lose their homes on the Costas in what they claim is an "out-and-out persecution" of the expatriate community. Residents' groups are planning demonstrations outside their town halls over the coming weeks to demand that the homes they bought in good faith are declared safe against an offensive by Spanish authorities to demolish property built illegally. "I doubt very much that we will be here next year," said Mr Bull, 66, as he surveyed the property that has cost them £200,000 just outside the town of Vera. Last week they watched as a demolition crew tore down the home of their neighbours, Len and Helen Prior, after the regional government of Andalusia revoked the building licence issued by the town hall…that’s a very bad experience in Spain…pensioners losing a lot of money on real estate value…

Old lady banned from church
Banned From Church… Reviving an ancient practice, churches are exposing sinners and shunning those who won't repent. On a quiet Sunday morning in June, as worshippers settled into the pews at Allen Baptist Church in southwestern Michigan, Pastor Jason Burrick grabbed his cellphone and dialed 911. When a dispatcher answered, the preacher said a former congregant was in the sanctuary. "And we need to, um, have her out A.S.A.P." Half an hour later, 71-year-old Karolyn Caskey, a church member for nearly 50 years who had taught Sunday school and regularly donated 10% of her pension, was led out by a state trooper and a county sheriff's officer. One held her purse and Bible. The other put her in handcuffs. (Listen to the 911 call) The charge was trespassing, but Mrs. Caskey's real offense, in her pastor's view, was spiritual. Several months earlier, when she had questioned his authority, he'd charged her with spreading "a spirit of cancer and discord" and expelled her from the congregation. "I've been shunned," she says. I call that a stupid, nasty priest, not worth to be the representing man of fait and god here!!! Am I banned too now? That what we expected, its fine to me… ;)

Cavemen rejecting fire
This caveman focus group couldn't grasp the idea of the importance of fire. Here was the collective reasoning:
Pros
Fire can be used for cooking as a heat source
Fire can be used to scare away unwanted wild animals
Cons
It looks dangerous, if it gets hot it could burn you
· It's so unsymmetrical
Don't like the red color, doesn't come in green
"Killing good ideas can harm your future".

Cuban Parliament, which is holding the 10th Ordinary Session of its 6th Legislature today at Havana’s Convention Palace, has received a message from President Fidel Castro. In the presence of Cuba’s First Vice President Raul Castro Ruz, Parliament President Ricardo Alarcon said that he spoke with Fidel Castro before the session opened and that the Revolution leader had asked him to read his message to the parliamentarians. In his message Fidel acknowledges the work of Cuban parliamentarians in the face of accumulated and increasing needs inherited by Cuban society from the US neo-colonial rule on January 1st, 1959…and yes Fidel is still the candidate is this elections…his age, state of health, nothing can stop him…

Middle East - Gaza plunged into darkness
Gaza City plunged into darkness The only power plant in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip has shut down because of a lack of fuel, Palestinian officials say, blaming Israeli restrictions. Gaza City was plunged into darkness after the plant's turbines stopped. Israel's closure of border crossings amid continued rocket fire from Gaza has brought the delivery of almost all supplies, including fuel, to a halt. But Israel, which provides 60% of Gaza's power, says the territory still has sufficient fuel stocks. The UN believes Gaza's 1.5m inhabitants face serious hardship and one of its officials said unheated hospitals were having to rely on generators for operations…

Burqa for men...
The “burqa for men” seduces young Britons
The jacket with sunglasses integrated with the hood, nicknamed “burqa for men”, is gaining increasing popularity among young Britons since it went on sale a few weeks ago, but the police are concerned with the anonymity it provides. “Within three only weeks, we have sold over 450 in my territory, “said Peter Webster, a representative in the south and south-east of England for the brand Carter. “The retail sector is very bleak at the moment, and yet the ‘goggle jacket’ has very good market”, he stressed…it’s a perfect uniform for bank robbers only… ;(

Straight after the drama Captain Peter Burkill was praised for safely bringing down his stricken Boeing 777 with 136 passengers on board.

Woman arrested for impersonating a teenager boy
Woman Arrested in Norway for Impersonating Teen. A 33-year-old Czech woman has been arrested for attending a Norwegian school, and then claiming abuse, as a 13-year-old boy. But the strange story in Norway is just the beginning of an even stranger story of child abuse in the Czech Republic. The bizarre case of a Czech woman posing as a 13-year-old boy in Norway could shed light on a separate -- and notorious -- child-abuse case in the Czech Republic involving a religious cult and a mother who tortured her sons…

Ailing woman battered during home invasion
Ailing woman battered during home invasion. Jennifer Towe has decided to start locking her front door after a woman entered her home early Thursday and assaulted her mother-in-law. Towe was woken just before 5 a.m. by sounds of a struggle in the living room of her home in the 2300 block of Fowler Lane off Highway 62 near White City. "It's pretty strange first thing in the morning to find a woman on top of your mother-in-law," Towe said.
Jennifer Marie Wojack, 27, was wearing only underwear and a small shirt when she entered the home and attacked 57-year-old Joy Mitchell, who was asleep on the couch. Mitchell — who suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and breaths with the aid of an oxygen tank — suffered bruised ribs and scratches on her throat before Towe's husband managed to pull Wojack off her. The scene was made more chaotic by Wojack's bizarre behavior during the attack. "She was screaming, 'We're going to Egypt, we're going to Egypt' while she was trying to strangle my mother-in-law to death," Towe said.
Mitchell's husband Roy Towe, 35, fought with Wojack until Jackson County sheriff's deputies arrived. Roy Towe, who stands more than 6 feet tall and weighs 250 pounds, had his hands full with the 5-foot, 130-pound Wojack. He sustained a broken nose and dislocated wrist during the scuffle. He was forced to hit Wojack at one point, which prompted her to scream, "Give me more daddy. I like it, I like it," Towe said…psychotic woman needs psychiatric help immediately…

Utah mother admits sex with teen boys
Utah Mother Admits To Sex Acts With Teen Boys. A 37-year-old Utah mother -- and former substitute teacher -- has admitted to engaging in illegal sexual acts with at least five teenage boys. Leisa Ward, a mother of four, pleaded guilty on child sex-related charges in a deal that led prosecutors to drop the most serious counts against her. Ward agreed to plead guilty on charges of unlawful sexual conduct and, as a result will not be charged with anything else. Ward was arrested in Nov. 2007 following reports that she engaged in sexual activities with at least five boys, whose ages were 16 or 17 at the time. Nephi Police said the allegations started as rumors that were eventually corroborated…
