A morbidly obese woman has been acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old nephew after her attorney crafted an irrefutable defense.


Mayra Rosales admitted to rolling over and falling on her nephew back in 2008.


Rosales claimed her fall crushed her nephew to the point he suffered a fatal head injury. Investigators did not buy the story, but were forced to proceed with the murder trial. Expert testimony revealed the child’s death was caused by repeated blows to the head, chest and limbs.


Defense for Rosales claimed there was no possible way the obese woman could have caused her nephew’s death. The 31-year-old woman weighed more than 1000 pounds at the time of the murder and could not lift her arm high enough to get the force required to cause such a deadly blow.


Rosales finally admitted it was her sister, the boy’s mother, that beat the child with a hairbrush after he refused to eat.

Furor in Greece over pedophilia as a disability

By NICHOLAS PAPHITIS | AP – Mon, Jan 9, 2012


ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek disability groups expressed anger Monday at a government decision to expand a list of state-recognized disability categories to include pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs.

The National Confederation of Disabled People called the action "incomprehensible," and said pedophiles are now awarded a higher government disability pay than some people who have received organ transplants.

The Labor Ministry said categories added to the expanded list — that also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists — were included for purposes of medical assessment and used as a gauge for allocating financial assistance.

But NCDP leader Yiannis Vardakastanis, who is blind, warned the new list could create new difficulties for disabled Greeks who are already facing benefit cuts due to the country's financial crisis.

"What's happened is incomprehensible. I think there is some big mistake. The ministry should have a different policy on disability," Vardakastanis told the Associated Press. "The list contains major changes to disability quotients, which could effectively remove many people from access to benefits."

The new list gives pyromaniacs and pedophiles disability pay up to 35 percent, compared to 80 percent for heart transplant recipients.

"It's really not serious to grant Peeping Toms a 20-30 percent disability rate, and 10 percent to diabetics, who have insulin shots four or five times a day," said Vardakastanis.

Greece has been fighting to avoid bankruptcy since 2009. Public spending on health and welfare programs has been sharply cut under austerity measures imposed as a condition for receiving emergency loans from the International Monetary Fund and other countries using the euro currency.

Independently run welfare programs that survived on state grants have been the hardest hit, leaving some disabled groups, including the deaf, facing sudden drops in their standard of care.

The government is also battling widespread abuse in the welfare system, forcing tens of thousands of disabled people to be reassessed.

Newser) – In December, stumped Washington state authorities sent a DNA sample from an unsolved 1991 murder to a forensic consultant in California—and though she didn't return with a match to the murderer himself, she did figure out who his 17th-century ancestors were.

The DNA profile closely matched the family of Robert Fuller, whose relatives came to America on the Mayflower; the consultant found the connection by looking at genetic profiles donated by people tracing their genealogy. Of course, Fuller—who lived in Salem, Mass., beginning in 1630—probably has thousands of descendants, but detectives are optimistic that the results will help narrow their search.

Detectives will whittle down the suspects by looking at geography and physical characteristics; two composite sketches of a man in his 20s were made after 16-year-old Sarah Yarborough was murdered on her high school campus. And because the DNA trace follows males, the forensic consultant says there is "a high degree of probability" the suspect is also named Fuller. "People get excited about having a Mayflower connection," she tells CNN, "but the most important thing is having a probable last name for this guy."

(Newser) – You may want to break out the tissues before you read on. There are love stories and then there are love stories, and such is the tale of Richard and Nancy Trimmer, who were married 61 years—and died on Sunday, within 12 hours of each other. The Evening Sun reports that the Pennsylvania couple learned that 81-year-old Richard had lung cancer in November; he was given six months. After a fall, he was taken to York Hospital, and his wife didn't react well.
"She didn't want to be in the house without him," explains the couple's daughter-in-law. "It was all just getting too hard, so God took care of it." Nancy was soon hospitalized in a separate location for lingering issues from a 10-year-old heart surgery. At 12:25am Sunday, she died. When the family arrived at Richard's bedside to break the bad news, they discovered him in far worse condition than usual—and the clock in his room stuck at 12:25. His family stayed with him as he repeatedly said, "Pull me up." And then, "Hold me tighter now." And then he was gone.

Did you know the saying "God willing and the Creeks don't
rise" was in reference to the Creek Indians and not a body
of water? It was written by Benjamin Hawkins in the late
18th century.. He was a politician and Indian diplomat.
While in the south, Hawkins was requested by the President
of the U.S. to return to Washington. In his response, he
was said to write, "God willing and the Creeks don't
rise." Because he capitalized the word "Creeks" it is
deduced that he was referring to the Creek Indian tribe and
not a body of water.

Swarming Robots Get Cheaper

William Wong

November 30, 2011

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are now commonly used on the battlefield and by fire and police departments. Most of them are remotely controlled and operated as individual robots. They’re also rather expensive. At the other end of the spectrum are robot swarms that need to be autonomous and inexpensive.

Swarms are still in the research phase, which has been more limited than other robot research because of cost. Plus, swarms only get interesting when there are dozens or hundreds of robots working together. Now, two universities are churning out inexpensive robots that can be used for teaching robotics in general and then moving on to swarms.

Rice’s Rolling Swarm

James McLurkin’s r-one from the MultiRobot Systems Lab at Rice University builds on his experience with swarm robots (Fig. 1). He built robot ants at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and larger versions of the r-one at iRobot. Those larger versions cost more than $2000, which the r-one cuts by a factor of 10 while expanding on the functionality

Man Dies After Eating Cocaine Hidden in His Brother’s Butt.


Deangelo Mitchell and his brother Wayne were taken into custody by the cops in South Carolina when the po-po suspected they had drugs in their car. While in custody, Deangelo convinced Wayne to eat the ounce of cocaine he had hidden in his ass. Then Wayne died.It was probably an overdose from eating the cocaine. They were trying to destroy the evidence, but eating cocaine out of someone's butt just sounds like such a horrible idea, I think I'd rather spend more time in jail.
Deangelo was released on bond for the drug charges, but might face additional charges for his brother's death. He's already sentenced to spending the rest of his life knowing he killed his brother with butt coke. That's pretty bad.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. --
A southwestern Pennsylvania grandmother says she's no marijuana grower, just a woman who wanted something that would look pretty next to her tomatoes.

A Fayette County jury cleared 67-year-old Alberta Kelley of drug possession and manufacture charges on Wednesday after she told them she simply tossed a handful of seeds into her garden after a bearded stranger gave them to her.
Connellsville police charged Kelley a year ago after receiving a tip about Kelley's garden. Investigators say they found seven well-cultivated, four-foot marijuana plants behind her home.

But Kelley claimed she didn't know what she was growing. She said she'd been given the seeds by a stranger in a pointy hat who told her they were flower seeds.

Kelley tells WTAE-TV that to her, "weeds are weeds."

In the kind of discovery seldom seen in modern biology, scientists say they have discovered a carnivorous Brazilian plant that uses sticky, subterranean leaves to catch and digest worms—an evolutionary strategy for acquiring nutrients that has never before been observed in the plant kingdom.

Researchers say that the rare plant, known to scientists as Philcoxia minensis, has only been found in a handful of increasingly rare savannah regions in inland Brazil.

In a report of their findings published in the online version of the journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers described the plant, noting that in addition to the thin, millimeter-wide leaves that grow above the earth’s surface, the majority of the plant’s curious leaves grow below the sandy surface, where the its sticky, finger-like projections are used to capture small passing worms.

World’s Biggest Orgy—250 couples

Japan successfully set a new world record for 250 men and women who consented to having sex in the same place at the same time. The orgy was held in a warehouse. A professional camera crew recorded the entire event. Each sex act and position was choreographed so that couples were simultaneous in their actions. All couples were tested and had no STDs. Those featured in the video could only have sex with each other but no one else.
Yes, the entire event is available for purchase on DVD.
