15-year-old killed siblings, Older brother held in deaths of 2 younger siblings. A 15-year-old boy is in custody at the Farmington Bay Youth Center, accused of killing his younger siblings on Wednesday at their home, 25 N. 1600 West, in West Point.

The 4-year-old brother was found by his mother at about 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday night after she returned home from running errands.

The 4-year-old and a 10-year-old boys were left in the care of the 15-year-old, according to Davis County Sheriff’s Sgt. Susan Poulsen.

When the mother returned, she found the younger boy dead of “penetrating knife wounds” Poulsen said, but believed the two other boys were missing together. She called 911 to report her sons missing. When officers arrived, they found the 10-year-old in the house, also stabbed to death. Continue reading →

Fired for word ‘negro’

Fired for word ‘negro’, teacher says meaning ‘lost in translation’ after calling student ‘Negro’.A Bronx teacher says her language lesson was lost in translation when she was fired for calling a student “Negro” — though she claims she was simply using the Spanish word for the color “black” at the time, according to a new lawsuit.

The non-tenured junior high instructor, Petrona Smith, 65, was booted from the bilingual PS 211 in March 2012 after a seventh-grader reported the alleged insult.

Smith, who is black and a native of the West Indies, has been unemployed since her ouster. Continue reading →

Mariah Carey malfunction

Mariah Carey malfunction, Dress Pops Open – Photo. Mariah Carey suffered a wardrobe malfunction live on stage during “Good Morning America’s” Summer Concert Series in Central Park this morning.

The back of the superstar’s skin-tight dress popped open while she was being interviewed by “GMA” host Lara Spencer. “Oh shoot, now the back of my dress just popped,” Carey said of her sparkling pink Versace frock.

Trying to play off the snafu, Carey teased the dress designer: “I love you Donatella, but it popped.”

Carey then cupped her breasts – to make sure the garment wouldn’t fall off – and twirled around on the stage to show off the broken zipper on the dress, to the delight of the crowd. Continue reading →

NOAA Season 2013 Hurricane Forecast Released. Atlantic coast residents, brace yourselves. This year’s hurricane season could be particularly active thanks to above average water temperatures.

Terry Francona keeps return to Fenway low key

Terry Francona keeps return to Fenway low key. He has the same glasses, the same gait, the same disdain for far-fetched questions. Even the colors he’s donning with the Cleveland Indians are similar to ones he wore in Boston. Terry Francona hasn’t changed much since his days as Red Sox manager.

What has changed is his approval rating. Francona, who returned to Fenway Park Thursday night as a major league manager for the first time since he was deposed after the Sox’ collapse in 2011, has never been more popular in Boston than he is now.

The man once referred to as “Francoma” by some irascible and irrational Sox fans is now popular enough that he could beat either Gabriel Gomez or Ed Markey for the vacant Massachusetts Senate seat. Continue reading →

Copycat attacks Britain

Copycat attacks Britain, Security increased at military bases in Dorset. “It was like he wanted to be famous or something, but in a stupid way.”

So spoke Joe Tallant, a witness to the actions of the man who had apparently butchered an off-duty soldier on a busy London street in broad daylight. With bloodied hands and carrying a meat cleaver, he danced around the dead body appealing for people to take pictures of him. He and his accomplice, a shyer character, waited for 20 minutes chatting to women who dared approach them, until armed police arrived. They made no attempt to escape.

In London on Wednesday afternoon there was a sense of shock and outrage at the hideous killing, but also puzzlement. How could this bizarre crime be labelled a terrorist incident? Terrorism, for Londoners, means a planned attack such as the four coordinated explosions on the Underground and bus network in 2005, which killed 52 people. Continue reading →

i-5 bridge collapses

i-5 bridge collapses, Three injured, throwing vehicles into water . An Interstate 5 bridge over a river collapsed north of Seattle Thursday evening, dumping two vehicles into the water and sparking a rescue effort by boats and divers as three injured people were pulled from the chilly waterway.

Authorities said it appeared nobody was killed in the bridge failure that raised the question about the safety of aging spans and cut off the main route between Seattle and Canada.

“We don’t think anyone else went into the water,” said Marcus Deyerin, a spokesman for the Northwest Washington Incident Management Team. “At this point we’re optimistic.”

A man and a woman were reported in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries in the emergency room at Skagit Valley Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Kari Ranten said. Another man was reported in stable condition at United General Hospital in Sedro-Woolley, hospital CEO Greg Reed said. He said he didn’t know whether the man would be admitted. Continue reading →

Parking deck collapses

Parking deck collapses, 1 Killed. One man died and another was severely injured in the collapse of a portion of a parking garage under construction at the Westfield Montgomery mall Thursday afternoon, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service officials said.

The 50,000- to 55,000-pound slab collapsed on a ramp between the second and third levels of the garage near the Macy’s department store, said Assistant Chief Scott Graham, a fire and rescue spokesman.

The survivor was trapped for four hours before rescuers could free him, Graham said.

He was flown by helicopter to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. He was alert and communicating with rescue and medical staff, Graham said.

Both men are believed to be construction workers, and more than 20 workers were in the garage at the time of the collapse. The garage had been closed while under construction, Graham added. Continue reading →

Dad who drowned sons

Dad who drowned sons, Muhammad gets death penalty. A father who told two of his sons to pretend they were swimming as he drowned them in a Dallas-area creek was sentenced to death on Thursday.

Jurors took less than 10 minutes to convict Naim Rasool Muhammad last week after hearing testimony from the mother of the two drowned boys, 5-year-old Naim and 3-year-old Elijah. They also watched a video of Muhammad, 34, describing the killings to a police detective.

Muhammad killed Naim and Elijah in August 2011. Authorities say he forced the boys and their mother, Kametra Sampson, into a car and started driving. It was supposed to be Naim’s first day of school. Continue reading →

California Earthquake

California Earthquake, 5.7 Quake Reported In Greenville. The epicenter of the quake was 6 miles northwest of the town of Greenville, and near the smaller community of Canyondam, the USGS said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Allen Shephard, a hunting and fishing guide at Quail Lodge at Lake Almanor in Canyondam, said the quake knocked him “right off the couch and onto the floor.”

Abreu said there were no reports of serious damage in the early field reports.

But Allen Shephard, who runs the Quail Lodge at Lake Almanor near Greenville just a few miles from the epicenter, said the lodge suffered damage.

“Dishes plum out of the counter, computers thrown everywhere,” Shepherd told the Redding Record-Searchlight.

The Susanville Fire Department said it had received no reports of damage, and a Plumas County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher said calls were flooding into its office but no reports of damage.

KCRA-TV in Sacramento reported that the Plumas County temblor was felt in downtown Sacramento, about 145 miles south of the epicenter.

People in Yuba and Sutter Counties, south of Plumas, said they felt a rolling quake, according to the Marysville Appeal-Democrat.

Others reported feeling the quake as far away as the San Francisco Bay area, according to the USGS’s website.

There have been eight aftershocks ranging from 2.6-to-3.5-magnitude.

“People in the area felt a strong jolt, but it was not enough to generate serious damage, based on early field reports,” Abreu said.
