Icy river teen body, Sister dead tried to save brother

Icy river teen body, The icy river teen body of a 16-year-old girl has been recovered by crews searching for her on Friday in South Dakota. The girl, Madison Leigh Wallace, willingly jumped into the river in an attempt to save her 6-year-old brother who had somehow either willingly jumped into the water, fell in, or possibly was pushed in. Crews are still searching for a man in his late twenties, who went into the water in an attempt to save Madison but has since disappeared. Sioux Falls Fire Rescue Chief Jim Sideras said the recovery crews are still battling the elements, which are not cooperating in their effort to find the missing. Sideras also said he’s been in touch with Madison’s father, who as expected, is in a state of utter shock and sadness. “Our prayers are with them, we want to help them cope as best they can,” he said, according to Argus Leader. Madison was a sophomore at her high school entitled Vermillion High School. As usual with horrific tragedies such as this, schoo

'Healer' infects with HIV, infected patients with HIV

'Healer' infects with HIV, A music teacher is standing trial at the Bern-Mittelland regional court accused of deliberately infecting 16 people with the HIV, the AIDS virus. The man, who does not have HIV, denies charges of multiple grievous bodily harm and spreading human diseases, Swiss website 20 Minuten and newspaper Blick reported. The prosecution alleges the unnamed man injected the 16 music students and patients with HIV-infected blood between 2001 and 2005. The man is said to have acted under the pretence he was administering acupuncture. In other cases he is accused of doping his alleged victims and infecting them by unknown means. The blood came from a pupil who told the teacher he was HIV-positive, the prosecution claims. The lawyer for the self-declared healer told the media his client had never taken blood from a pupil. Acupuncture was only administered once, he claimed, to his wife when she had back problems. The defence lawyer could not say how the 16 music pupil

100-game suspension

100-game suspension, On Friday, it was determined that a 100-game suspension for Cesar Carrillo would be the punishment for his name cropping up in the Biogenesis scandal. Biogenesis is an anti-aging clinic, and Major League Baseball is currently investigating the clinic’s involvement in supplying performance enhancing drugs to players in the league. Cesar Carrillo is currently a pitcher who plays for the Detroit Tigers. Carrillo was hit by the league for allegedly violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The penalty not only carries a steep 100-game suspension (in Major League Baseball, there are only 162 games), but Cesar will also be suspended without pay. The MLB is battling hard to climb outside a dark shadow full of rumored players to have taken performance enhancing drugs. The scandal, which reached a fever pitch following the late 1990s when the league enjoyed a resurrection thanks to the likes of Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa, continues to drain the pat

Lil Wayne says I am OK

Lil Wayne has been hospitalized, but according to his camp and his official Twitter account — he’s OK. The multiplatinum rapper was hospitalized in Los Angeles on Friday and reps confirmed he was “recovering.” He apparently tweeted to his fans from his official account on Friday night: “I’m good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.” A person close to the superstar’s camp who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter confirmed to The Associated Press that Lil Wayne had a seizure. He has a history of seizures in recent years that have led to previous hospital visits. While there were some reports that Lil Wayne was fighting for his life, members of his Young Money camp denied it on Twitter. Before the tweet from Lil Wayne’s account, rapper Mack Maine tweeted: “Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern. he will update you all soon.” Rapper Birdman, Lil Wayne’s mentor, also downplayed reports that Lil Wayne was in gr

Dave Chappelle is reportedly giving some major

Dave Chappelle is reportedly giving some major consideration to doing a new comedy tour with comedian Chris Rock according to Inquistr reports on Friday, March 15. It has been about eight year since Dave Chappelle left his hugely popular hit comedy "Chappelle's Show," during the third season. Since then, the comedian has made some headlines being described as a bit of a reclusive, living a low key life in Ohio. Dave Chappelle has done a few comedy shows, usually unpublicized, and even gives interviews when the mood strikes him. It’s probably more accurate to compare Chappelle to Bill Murray, another next-level comedy guy whose life appears to be one big “Do What You Feel” festival. Speculation began this week following The Los Angeles Times report that Dave Chappelle is seriously considering going on a comedy tour with Chris Rock, which all started when Chappelle made a surprise stop at the New York City's Comedy Cellar and came from "Grown Ups 2" co-star C

Pope Francis stumbles

Pope Francis stumbles, The newly elected Pope Francis held an audience at St. Peter's Basilica for the cardinals gathered in Rome Friday morning. He had a slight misstep and stumbled as he stepped down from the altar to greet the cardinals at Mass. He quickly regained his footing but not before his trip was captured for the world to see. The increased scrutiny that comes with his role as pope has resurfaced issues from Francis' past, including claims regarding his role during Argentina's so-called "dirty war," when a military junta killed thousands of Argentinians, including priests. Francis has been accused of not doing enough to protect them. Special Section: Change at the Vatican Reporters in Argentina have also tracked down the elderly woman he allegedly wanted to marry -- and who reportedly received love letters from the Francis -- when they were both young teenagers. On more substantive issues such as church reform, Vatican-watchers say the new pope has alr

Jacquelin Perry dies, at the age 94

Jacquelin Perry dies, The country was in the grip of a polio epidemic in the 1950s when orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jacquelin Perry began performing spinal surgeries in Downey that helped paralyzed survivors of the disease regain mobility. When some of the same patients returned to her 40 years later seeking help for pain and muscle weakness wrought by the aftereffects of polio, Perry remained true to form. She blazed a trail, transforming herself into the leading authority on post-polio syndrome. She was also known for her pioneering analysis of the human gait, publishing a definitive textbook on the subject in her 70s. Perry, who had Parkinson's disease but was still practicing as of last week, died Monday at her home in Downey. She was 94. Her death was announced by Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, with which she had been affiliated since 1955. "She was a giant, a revered figure in her field," said Greg Waskul, executive director of the center's founda

Cow dung air freshener

Cow dung air freshener, Two Indonesian high school students have made an air freshener from cow manure. Dwi Nailul Izzah and Rintya Aprianti Miki won first prize in the country's Science Project Olympiad with their alternative and environmentally-friendly air freshener. The air freshener is said to have a natural fragrance of herbs and is good for human health because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals like other freshener products on the market. The girls collected cow dung from a cattle farm in Lamongan regency of East Java and left it to ferment for three days. Secondly, they extracted water from the cow dung and mixed it with coconut water. Then the liquid was distilled to remove any impurities; the end product is a liquid air freshener with a natural aroma of herbs from digested cow food. The girls will go on to represent Indonesia at the International Environment Project Olympiad race (INEPO) in Istanbul.

Six killed bar shooting

Six killed bar shooting, (Reuters) - Two men armed with a machine gun and a handgun opened fire in a bar on the outskirts of the Mexican tourist resort of Cancun on Thursday, killing six people and wounding five, the office of the state's attorney general said. Cancun, a major tourist destination on Mexico's Caribbean coast, has largely escaped the drug-related violence that has racked Acapulco, a faded tourist hot spot on the Pacific coast. Last month, six Spanish women were raped by hooded gunmen who forced their way into the Acapulco beach house the women had rented. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has vowed to reduce the violence that soared after his predecessor, Felipe Calderon, launched an assault on drug cartels. More than 70,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico since 2007. (Reporting by Isela Serrano; Writing by Elinor Comlay; Editing by Mohammad Zargham)
