According to the Killeen Daily Herald, 22-year-old Pfc. Isaac Lawrence Young was hiccuping while watching football on Sunday night with fellow soldier Spc. Patrick Edward Myers, 27. In an apparent attempt to scare him and make the hiccups go away, Myers allegedly pointed a handgun at Young's face and pulled the trigger. The newspaper said Myers told police he thought the gun was loaded with dummy rounds. Young, a motor transport operator from Missouri, was struck in the eye and died en route to the hospital. "Weapons are nothing to be played with, especially handguns, and when that happens, it doesn't come out good," Carroll Smith of the Killeen Police Department told KXXV-TV in Waco. "Unfortunately somebody lost their life over this." Police said the men had been drinking alcohol before the shooting. Myers was charged with manslaughter. A judge set his bond at $1 million. Both men were stationed at Fort Hood in Central Texas. Young had been a soldier for 16 months. The Army says his awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal and Army Service Ribbon. ...
Trichromatic Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Pratibha’s gifts are in son’s museum, says Rashtrapati Bhavan Former President Pratibha Patil, after a controversy, had to give up on her post-retirement bungalow on a prime Pune plot. Now she may have to part with a set of gifts that she got during her tenure. After her retirement in July, Patil had packed almost 40 truck-loads of gifts to send to a museum run by her family’s private trust in her home-town Amaravati. But an RTI query, filed by Subhas Chandra Agarwal, showed that the President Secretariat has now asked her to return gifts to be kept at the official Toshkhana of Rashtrapati Bhavan. According to Agarwal, “The President Secretariat did not follow Toshakha rules in regard to gifts received by Pratibha Patil.”

Whoops! Florida governor gives phone sex number for meningitis hotline Scott was providing an update on the outbreak at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday when he announced what he said was the hotline's toll-free phone line, but gave out the wrong number. The station said it was "quickly notified by a reader that the number instead connected to an adult telephone line." Callers are greeted with the recording of a woman's voice saying: "Hello boys, thank you for calling me on my anniversary." The correct number for the Florida Fungal Meningitis Hotline is 866-523-7339, but Scott got one of the digits mixed up. I am sure many of you would be cursing the author for not indicating which digit was mixed up! Some of the comments in the article is very funny. Hi, big guy. What are you wearing ? Ummmm a hospital gown. Ok , What would you like from me ?......Well, I have a fever..... I'm hot too baby? I also have headaches and I'm sensitive to light. We don't have to leave the lights on, I do some of my best work in the dark....I think I have a fungus infection.... That's OK stud, we'll use a condom...... I think I'm going to throw up.....

Crookbond Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Mauritanian president 'accidentally' shot by army http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/mauritanian-president-accidentally-shot-by-army-279522 Nouakchott, Mauritania: Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz flew to Paris for medical treatment on Sunday after soldiers shot at his convoy and wounded him in what the government said was an accident. Mr Abdel Aziz was wounded on Saturday after an army unit fired on his convoy as he returned to the capital Nouakchott from a weekend retreat. The government played down the incident, saying Mr Abdel Aziz,55 was only "slightly wounded" and that the shooting was an accident as the soldiers didn't realise that the convoy was his. "This was an accidental shooting on the presidential convoy as it returned to Nouakchott. The army unit did not recognize the presidential convoy," Communications Minister Hamdi Mahjoub said in remarks on national television. A security source had earlier said that the president had been directly targeted. On Sunday, the president flew to Paris for medical treatment after undergoing an operation at a military hospital to remove a "bullet from his body," a security source said on condition of anonymity. The source did not specify where the bullet had lodged but said none of his vital organs had been hit and "his life is not in danger." Unconfirmed media reports in Nouakchott said variously that Mr Abdel Aziz had been hit in the arm and/or the abdomen. Communications Minister Mahjoub had sought to reassure about Mr Abdel Aziz's health in his televised remarks. "The Mauritanian people can be reassured, the president is fine. He was slightly wounded, and he got out of the vehicle unassisted upon arrival at the hospital, where he walked in without difficulty," he said. But earlier, a security source said that Abdel Aziz was hit in the arm by a bullet that an unknown gunman fired at him as he was driving from his weekend retreat in nearby Tweila. The gunman in a car "directly targeted" the head of state, he added, without giving any indications as to the identity of the attacker or the motive. "The president's life is not in danger, he got out and walked to a military hospital where he received first aid," the source said. Opposition lawmakers accuse the former general of despotism and mismanagement and having failed to heed commitments made in the Dakar accords that led to his election in 2009, a year after he seized power in a coup d'etat. The opposition wants a transition government to take over from Mr Abdel Aziz and find a way out of the crisis, dealing with issues such as unemployment, slavery and attacks on human rights. Mr Abdel Aziz has insisted he will not resign, despite a series of opposition protests. "I have no intention of leaving power because I think that in a democracy, change must be done through the ballot box," Mr Abdel Aziz said in August. He has led a military campaign against Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). He has been the subject of several failed assassination attempts by AQIM, Al Qaeda's franchise in North Africa, according to sources. AQIM, which stems from a group started in the late 1990s by radical Algerian Islamists, formally subscribed to Al-Qaeda's ideology in 2007, but after a string of high-profile attacks, the Algerian army managed to severely curtail its operations. It has since been boosted by the turmoil in neighbouring Mali that followed a coup there in March, with hardline Islamists occupying the country's vast northern region. Mr Abdel Aziz's mandate expires in 2014.

Tiger80 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Oldest dad becomes father again at 96 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Oldest-dad-becomes-father-again-at-96/articleshow/16828848.cms KHARKHODA (SONIPAT): Miracles happen and Ramajit Raghav is there to prove it. The farm hand claimed on Monday that he was the oldest person to father a child at the age of 96. What's more, he has done it for the second time in a gap of less than two years; Raghav was blessed with his first child in November 2010. On October 5, Raghav's 52-year-old wife Shakuntala Devi gave birth to their second male child at a primary health centre in the town. The child is doing fine and is with his parents in their one-room accommodation on the city outskirts. Raghav had expressed his desire for a second son soon after the birth of his first whom he named Vikramjeet. Although he was elated over birth of the second child, named Ranjeet, he has now decided to make his wife to undergo a tubectomy operation. Claiming to have become a father at the oldest age, Raghav pointed out that he had remained a bachelor and practised celibacy throughout his life until he met Shakuntala about 10 years ago. "After staying together, we decided to extend our family and aspired for two sons. With God's grace, our wish has been fulfilled," said Raghav, sporting a thick unkempt beard. In 2007, a Rajasthan man, 90-year-old Nanu Ram Jogi, had claimed to have been the oldest man to father a child, in his case his 21st child. Raghav's age is recorded in the Haryana government's social welfare department as 96. Talking about his daily routine, Raghav said, "I wake up at five in the morning and go to bed before 8pm. During the day, I work in the fields and also take 1-2 hour afternoon nap." He added his diet includes around two litres of cow's milk, fresh and green vegetables and chapattis. Asked about the secret of his vitality, he said he had been a wrestler in his younger days when his daily diet comprised half a kg of munched almonds, equal measure of ghee and three litres of milk besides vegetables and chapattis. Raghav said he had been a teetotaller and a strict vegetarian throughout his life. When contested about his age claim, Raghav countered strongly by vividly recollecting the happenings of a 1929 epidemic that killed many in Uttar Pradesh and later the post-Partition communal riots. He told TOI that he originally belonged to Begpur village in UP, and left home about 40 years ago after a violent family dispute. Initially, he worked as a farm help in a village in Sonipat and later shifted to Kharkhoda where he has been living and working at the farm of his landlord Bhajan Bania for the past 22 years. Carrying the newborn in her lap, Shakuntala appeared a concerned mother. "My husband earns a living by working in the fields. Besides, he gets Rs 500 as old age pension from the state government. This is insufficient to feed our children and family. We hope to educate them and do something good in life," she said. A medical officer at the Kharkhoda PHC said the woman had a normal mother and baby were discharged in four hours.
