Man charged after allegedly passing gas toward cop
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer.
Jose A. Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg, was pulled over early Tuesday for driving without headlights, police said. According to the criminal complaint, Cruz smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and failed three field sobriety tests before he was handcuffed and taken to a police station for a breathalyzer test.
As Patrolman T.E. Parsons prepared the machine, Cruz scooted his chair toward Parsons, lifted his leg and “passed gas loudly,” the complaint said.
Cruz, according to complaint, then fanned the gas toward the officer.
“The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons,” the complaint alleged.
He was also charged with driving under the influence, driving without headlights and two counts of obstruction.
Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but said he didn’t move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman. He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station.
“I couldn’t hold it no more,” he said.

1996 McDonalds Hamburger
I teach a workshop titled Healthy Choices for Children. It’s a class for parents seeking solutions to how to improve the way they eat. It’s about the alternative food market, organics, and the top ten food additives to avoid and why, menu planning and more. It’s a 3 session fabulously informative interactive class.
Below is my absolutely favorite prop.
People are always astounded when I share this.
I have used this as show and tell for a very long time.
This is a hamburger from McDonalds that I purchased in 1996.
That was 12 years ago.
Note that it looks exactly like it did the very day I bought it.

Jersey Sunday
FLINT, Michigan — There were jerseys and gym shoes and chants for their favorite teams. And the congregation shared high-fives during the sermon as if their team had scored a winning touchdown. This was no normal Sunday service at Flint’s Church Without Walls Ministries, 6202 Dupont St., as sports gear replaced fancy hats and tailored suits.
This was Jersey Sunday, an effort to relax the normal routine, lure young people to church and address the violence hitting the congregation’s northwest Flint neighborhood.
Churchgoers were encouraged to wear sports jerseys, and they did, showcasing Flint Northwestern Academy, Carman-Ainsworth High School and other local schools, as well as teams in the National Basketball Association and National Football League.
Sunday’s service drew about 100 adults and children, a healthy increase over typical attendance at this time of year, officials said.

Cell phone can unlock car, start engine
TOKYO – A new Japanese mobile phone will automatically unlock the doors of its owners’ cars and let drivers start their engines without using an ignition key.
The phone, built by Sharp Corp., uses a technology previously developed by Nissan Motor Co. called “Intelligent Key” that allows drivers enter and start their cars without removing their keys from their pockets or bags.
Cars equipped with the system sense when the correct key is nearby, automatically unlocking their car doors, and allow the engine to be started once the key is brought inside the car. Nissan said it has shipped about a million cars with the technology in Japan since 2002.
The new twist on this technology is that it is loaded in a phone. The service will work on the mobile network operated by NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan’s largest mobile operator.

A rare black fox has been captured on camera in Britain for what is thought to be the first time
Kevin Hehir, 48, was astonished when he spotted the fox while out walking.
The black fox is so rare that wildlife experts believe there are only a handful of the breed left in the country.
In medieval times, the black fox was considered a bad omen by superstitious villagers.
