Why-Pastor jailed for hosting Bible studies in home
A Phoenix, Ariz., man is in jail for hosting a Bible study group in his home. Pastor Michael Salman starting serving 60 days on Monday after city officials said his weekly meetings were akin to church services, which violated several building codes. "Bible studies are not allowed to be conducted in your residence or the barn on your property as these
structures do not comply with the construction code for this use," a letter from the city says. Salman has posted videos to YouTube to discuss his troubles with the law. In one, he says he was also fined $12,000 and put on three years probation for hosting the Bible studies. Salman also says he was given warnings about the Bible studies on his property in 2007. Suzanne Salman posted a video on Monday of her husband arriving at jail, calling it an "emotional" day.
How-Maggots to the rescue of man's leg
TORONTO - Waclaw Tyszkiewicz saw maggots as disgusting fly larvae commonly found feasting on rotting meat, decomposing vegetables or roadkill. Until, that is, they were used to save his leg from being amputated. Tyszkiewicz, a 59-year-old native of Poland who lives in Scarborough with his wife, Eliza, was admitted to Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital in late March with a raging, flesh-killing infection in his right foot, caused after he attempted to remove a piece of calloused skin with a blade. With Tyszkiewicz being diabetic, his body had failed to fight the infection, and the treatments staff at the Ellesmere Rd. and Neilson Rd. area hospital were trying — medical disinfectants, gels, minor surgery — were not working. And the infection was spreading. Tyszkiewicz’s leg had become such a swollen, bloody and blackened mess of dying flesh that amputation just below the knee was being seriously considered. It was then Dr. Marietta Zorn and nurse Rose Raizmen, the latter a wound-care specialist, opted to use a blow fly maggot — to treat the festering hole in Tyszkiewicz’s foot. “I have had experience with maggots before and I’ve seen it work well with people with diabetes,” said the Russian-born Raizmen, who studied nursing in Israel, where, she says, maggots are increasingly used to treat serious skin infections, as they are in parts of the U.S. “I’ve seen this (method) save other legs.” Zorn arranged for the maggots to be quickly shipped in from California, and within 24 hours after arrival they were applied to Tyszkiewicz’s wounded foot once a week for three weeks — a total of 800 maggots per treatment. After each application, Tyszkiewiez’s wound was covered with a mesh dressing so the maggots could breath. They were then left for up to 36 hours to eat the dead flesh.
Nice-New iPhone App Saves You From Horrible Dates
If you’re on a dreadful date, don’t fear: there’s an app for that. Dating site eHarmony.com now offers a free iPhone "Bad Date Rescue" app that can fake an incoming call to help you somewhat politely bail out on the situation, Reuters reported. "There are all sorts of reasons for why people would want to get out of a date," Arvind Mishra, director of product management at eHarmony, told Reuters. "We can all sympathize because we have all been on bad dates in our lifetime."The app, which launched this week, allows users to choose a personal contact to “call” their phone during a date. To make it believable, pre-recorded messages with prompts include a boss who wants help immediately or a neighbor with a leaky pipe. Plus, if the contact has a photo, it will even show up during the call.Users can schedule the call ahead of time to play it safe. But if the date takes an unexpected turn, a quick rescue option can immediately activate a call.
How Porn star was used as a bait in Magnotta sting
Twin Playboy bunnies and an animal-rights group tried to enlist one of the world's biggest porn stars in 2011 to help catch Luka Rocco Magnotta.Ron Jeremy said he was asked to lure Magnotta, a small-time Canadian porn actor, to Los Angeles with a phoney job offer to appear in an X-rated flick.The ploy was concocted more than a year before
Magnotta became a murder suspect in the gruesome death of Mont-real student Jun Lin Instead of meeting a legend who's cavorted for the camera in more than 2,000 adult films, Magnotta was to be apprehended by a hard-nosed group of animal-rights activists.Jeremy, however, got cold feet and the sting operation never moved ahead.At the time, animal-rights advocates had alleged that Magnotta killed kittens and posted videos of the deeds on the Internet - accusations he has publicly denied.Jeremy, an active animal-rights campaigner, wanted to help out, but was uncomfortable with the whole idea of being the bait."That's a little bit out of my league, don't you think?" Jeremy told The Canadian Press in a phone interview about the January 2011
proposal."It's like an episode from some TV show. The (guy) comes to the set with lube in one hand and his schmeckle in the other thinking he has a job, and the cops tackle him to the ground. That doesn't work in real life."
Last month, Magnotta was charged with first-degree murder in the May slaying of the 33-year-old Lin. He has pleaded not guilty.
Why-Jealous wife stabs husband in the heart after sex
A WIFE who suspected her husband was cheating lured him to bed and told him to close his eyes because she she had a 'surprise' for him, before plunging a knife into his chest Nooshin Nedjah, 30, was jailed for 11 years on Friday over the attack at their flat after she became convinced her husband had married someone else. Medi Sangachin, 36, suffered massive blood loss after the kitchen knife entered his heart and only survived the attack thanks to the skill of one of Britain’s leading surgeons, Dr Patrick McGoldrick. Nedjah was cleared of attempted murder after a trial at Leeds Crown Court, West Yorks., but was convicted of wounding with intent. The jury heard the couple are both originally from Iran and married in June last year after starting a relationship in 2010 when they met on a bus. They set up home at a first floor flat in Leeds where neighbours got the impression they were not a happy couple.
In December last year Mr Sangachin visited his family in Iran. He told his wife he had been unfaithful to her and tension between them continued as Nedjah believed he had remarried during his trip. The court heard Nedjah persuaded her husband to come to bed on the afternoon of February 17 this year and they had sex. Afterwards she told him she had a "surprise" and told her husband to cover his eyes as they were naked in bed. Jonathan Sharp, prosecuting, said: "At that point she produced a sharp knife, which she had fetched from the kitchen, and plunged it with force into his chest, penetrating his heart and his left lung and narrowly missing the coronary artery." Nedjah, who came to the UK to study English, initially failed to help her husband as blood pumped from the wound but eventually dialled 999. Nedjah tried to claim her husband had inflicted the injury upon himself then said he was stabbed accidentally as the pair struggled. Matthew Bean, for Nedjah, said his client had been receiving treatment for mental health problems. The Recorder of Leeds, Judge Peter Collier, told Nedjah he was satisfied her husband had been unfaithful. He added: "I am satisfied that you lured him to have sex with you in order to get him into the position where you could strike him as you did."
