>These days it's a common sight: hazy streaks crisscrossing the sky left from passing aircrafts. But many people believe there’s something more going on. Dubbing the contrails “chemtrails,” conspiracy theorists have claimed that these trails of condensed water are part of a secret program to control the weather, change the climate or control our minds.

>Conspiracy theorists have amassed huge dossiers of “evidence” claiming that chemtrails are longer, brighter and do not dissipate as quickly as normal aircraft contrails. They have photos, anecdotes and samples collected from the air and water. Though scientists have long battled against these unfounded claims, they haven't made much headway. But with a recent study, researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science hope to put these rumors to rest.

>The researchers provided the available chemtrail evidence to 77 atmospheric scientists and geochemists for evaluation. “I felt it was important to definitively show what real experts in contrails and aerosols think,” Ken Caldeira, an atmospheric scientists and author on the study, says in a press release. “We might not convince die-hard believers that their beloved secret spraying program is just a paranoid fantasy, but hopefully their friends will accept the facts.”

>In the study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, the scientists were asked if they had ever uncovered possible evidence of a government chemtrail program in their research. Of the 77 scientists, 76 said no.

A teenager who vanished from Myrtle Beach, S.C., in 2009 was repeatedly raped in a gang “stash house” for several days – then she was shot dead and fed to alligators when her disappearance generated too much media attention, the FBI said last week.

The shocking new details about the mysterious disappearance of 17-year-old Rochester, N.Y., native Brittanee Drexel came largely from a “jailhouse confession” that was subsequently substantiated by others with “tidbits” and “secondhand information,” FBI Agent Gerrick Munoz testified in a federal court transcript obtained by The Post and Courier.

The inmate who gave the alleged bombshell confession, Taquan Brown, is serving a 25-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter in a different case. Brown told authorities he was present during the final agonizing moments of Drexel’s life, Munoz said.

Brown claimed to have seen Drexel when he visited a “stash house” – typically a place used to keep guns, drugs or money – in the McClellanville area, the general location where Drexel’s cellphone last pinged.

Munoz said Brown told officials he saw Da’Shaun Taylor, then 16 years old, and several other men “sexually abusing Brittanee Drexel.” Brown then said he walked to the backyard of the house to give money to Taylor’s father, Shaun Taylor. But as Brown and Shaun Taylor talked, Drexel tried to make a break for it. Her escape attempt was in vain, however, and one of the captors “pistol-whipped” Drexel and carried her back inside the house. Brown said he then heard two gunshots. The next time Brown said he saw Drexel, her body was being wrapped up and removed from the house.

The fight began with a mother and her boyfriend arguing over groceries.

At some point, prosecutors in Camden County, N.J., say, the woman’s 2-year-old boy became upset that 24-year-old Zachary Tricoche had pushed his mother and began to cry, according to the Courier-Post.

That’s when Tricoche attacked, prosecutors say, punching the 29-pound boy so hard that the toddler was launched into a wall, Camden County Assistant Prosecutor Christine Shah said at a court hearing last week, according to NJ.com.

Then, Shah said, Tricoche instructed the 36-inch-tall toddler to “put his hands up,” meaning “that he should form a boxing stance to fight this full-grown man,” NJ.com reported.

At that point, Tricoche hit the boy again, “causing J.B. to again strike his head on a wall and rendering him unconscious,” Shah said, according to the Courier-Post.

Both punches struck the boy — identified as Jamil Baskerville Jr. — in his torso, according to CBS affiliate WFMY.

A medical examiner would later determine that the child’s liver has been crushed by the blows, leading him to bleed to death internally, WFMY reported. The station reported that “the official cause of death is blunt force trauma and the manner of death is homicide.”

>A judge has ruled in favour of Rockstar in the Lindsay Lohan lawsuit today, throwing the case out and opening it up to appeal from the actor.

>Filed in 2014, Lohan's lawsuit against Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive claimed that a character in GTA V was an "unequivocal" reference to her. The actress said her image was used without her permission.

>A preliminary victory came to Lohan earlier this year when Take-Two's motion to dismiss the case was denied. The image above is the source of the complaint.

>"Lohan argues that defendants purposefully used Lohan's bikini, shoulder-length blonde hair, jewellery, cell phone, and 'signature peace sign' pose' in one image, and used Lohan's likeness in another image by appropriating facial features, body type, physical appearance, hair, hat, sunglasses, jean shorts, and loose white top," said the complaint at the time.

>Today, however, the case was thrown out thanks to protections in America's First Amendment. A similar case from the daughter of a mob boss, Karen Gravano, was also thrown out.
...

>The ruling concludes that GTA 5's "unique story, characters, dialogue, and environment, combined with the player's ability to choose how to proceed in the game" proves that it's a work of fiction and satire.

>Say goodbye to those "antibacterial" soaps and dishwashing liquids. The Food and Drug Administration says they do little or nothing to make soap work any better and said the industry has failed to prove they're safe.

>Companies will have a year to take the ingredients out of the products, the FDA said. They include triclosan and triclocarban. Soap manufacturers will have an extra year to negotiate over other, less commonly used ingredients such as benzalkonium chloride.

>"Companies will no longer be able to market antibacterial washes with these ingredients because manufacturers did not demonstrate that the ingredients are both safe for long-term daily use and more effective than plain soap and water in preventing illness and the spread of certain infections," the FDA said in a statement.

>"Some manufacturers have already started removing these ingredients from their products."

>Triclosan used in 93 percent of liquid products labeled "antibacterial" or "antimicrobial" - at least 2,000 different products, according to the FDA.

>LONDON — Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon says support for Scottish independence is growing and that the time is right for a "new conversation" on independence because of Britain's decision to leave the European Union.

>The Scottish First Minister said Friday her party would set up a website to gather public input on a possible independence referendum. A "listening exercise" with the goal of speaking to 2 million voters was also announced.

>She spoke nearly two years after Scottish voters rejected independence in a referendum.

>Sturgeon stopped short of calling for a second referendum but says the United Kingdom had fundamentally changed since then because of the Brexit vote in June.

>She says Scottish voters were being taken out of the EU against their will.

>"Christian" beliefs
>Love thy neighbor

I'm pretty sure this isn't how Jesus would have acted, but okay. Let's keep pushing the notion that "Christianity" demands we preclude other people from having any physical rights. For a country that hates the Middle East so much, the U.S. sure has a lot of overlap with Islam's fundamentalist interpretation of Abrahamic doctrines.

I'm not contesting a private ministry's right to act as bigoted as it wants, but I think it's worth pointing out that these people are a bunch of jackasses.

This is my country. Soon we'll be requiring women to sign up for the draft. Even most of the Republicans voted in favor of this. This is disgraceful. I'm embarrassed to be an American. Feminists are treating this like it's a victory for women, that is, sending them to get killed in war when they are not as strong as men. Absolutely shameful.

For most men having a large penis is generally considered a blessing - but for this poor Kenyan man it is a heartbreaking curse that has left him unable to have sex.

Sorence Owiti Opiyo's member is ten times that of the average male's, equating to roughly the same size as a baby.

The 20-year-old has endured a life of tragedy, being taken in by his grandmother when both his parents died when he was aged just five.

Sorence Owiti Opiyo's member is ten times that of the average male's, equating to roughly the same size as a baby

He also cannot work out and had to drop out of school because other kids were teasing him about it

He had a medical operation when he initially discovered the swelling at ten, which initially helped the problem, but it has since returned bigger and worse than ever.

Not only is Mr Opiyo's penis massively oversized, but it also is extremely disfigured towards the tip.

It means that he cannot have sex and consequently he is unable to bring any kids into the world and start a family, which is all he wants to do, according to Buzz Kenya.

>A Rhode Island man opened fire on his neighbor's home this week — using corncobs and a homemade potato gun.

>Jeffrey M. Osella, 50, has been feuding with his neighbor for the past 13 years, police say.

>Tuesday night, after a yelling argument between the two, Osella loaded corncobs into a PVC pipe potato gun and shot them at his neighbor’s house.

>"This particular incident did not stem from a new argument," Captain Shawn Lacey of the Westerly Police Department told USA TODAY.

>A girl riding a bicycle nearby dodged a cob, but no one was struck or injured, Lacey said.

>When police arrived at Osella’s home, he was intoxicated, shirtless and covered in corn kernels. Osella told police he didn’t shoot at the neighbor, just in the direction of his home, The Westerly Sun reported.
