Text: Police Kill Man Holding


Knife to Woman He Had Wounded

A Brooklyn man was shot and killed by the police last night as
he held a knife to the throat of a woman inside an East Flatbush
apartment, the authorities said.
The woman, who had already been stabbed at least once before
the police arrived on the scene, was listed in stable condition last night
at Kings County Hospital Center, the authorities said.
They would not identify the woman and the man, but neighbors
said both were in their 20s.
The police said that the man was arrested on Saturday on
charges that he violated an order of protection that had been obtained by the woman.
Four officers went to the Vanderveer Houses, a public housing complex on New York Avenue where the woman
lived, about 8:30 p.m. last night, after the police received an anonymous 911 call from someone describing
screams coming from the womans fifth-floor apartment, according to investigators at the scene.
When the officers approached the apartment, the woman opened the front door and screamed for help, the
investigators said. But the man pulled her back inside and immediately shut the door, according to the police.
The police responded by kicking the door open. The man was holding a knife to the womans throat, and she was
already bloody from a stab wound, the authorities said.
After the man ignored several warnings to put down his knife, one of the officers fired a shot, striking the man in
the head, the police said. He was declared dead at the scene.

Text: A Stunning Senior Moment

found on the net by Ccile Marit, Belgium


A self-important college freshman walking along the
beach took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen
resting on the steps why it was impossible for the older
generation to understand his generation.
You grew up in a different world, actually, an almost
primitive one, the student said loud enough for others to
hear. The young people of today grew up with
television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the
moon. We have nuclear energy, ships and cell phones,
computers with light speed and many more.
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as
follows:
Youre right son, we didnt have those things when
we were young so we invented them. Now, you
arrogant little sh*t what are you doing for the next
generation?
The applause was amazing!

Text: Wrong Pop, Pop

In the USA you can lose


custody over your children if
you don't watch enough
popular television. That, at
least, is the logical conclusion
to draw from the actions of
officials as regards the Ratte
family. Christopher Ratte took
his son, Leo, to a baseball
game where he bought the
seven-year-old a bottle of
Mikes Hard Lemonade.
Now any normal American knows that Mikes
Hard Lemonade is alcopop it contains 5%
alcohol. Christophers ignorance of the existence
of alcoholic lemonade can be explained by the fact
that he is Professor of Classical Archaeology at the
University of Michigan, so he doesnt watch much
commercial TV. No excuse, according to the
authorities. A security guard spotted the boy with
the drink in his hand and handed Christopher over
to the Detroit police. Despite showing no signs of
drunkenness, Leo was rushed to the Detroit
Childrens Hospital by ambulance! At the ER no

trace of alcohol was found


in his blood. However, it
was two days before
Leos mother, Claire
Zimmerman,
another
archaeology professor at
the University of Michigan,
was allowed to take the
boy home. Nearly a
week had to pass before
Leos father, Christopher,
was allowed to return to
the family home.
Things are little better in Britain where Bob
Yeomans, head of St Johns Primary School in
Walsall (near Birmingham) was recently under
investigation to determine if he was a fit person to
be in contact with children. The investigation was
started when it was discovered that Mr Yeomans
had a criminal record. And what was Bobs
crime? He failed to renew his fishing licence in
2007.

Text: Blue Jeans

Fascinating facts about the invention


of the Blue Jeans by Levi Strauss in 1873.
The Gold Rush of 1848 attracted many
adventurers to California. One of them was
a twenty-year-old named Levi Strauss.
Strauss had been a draper, or cloth seller,
in New York, and he took a few bolts of
cloth to sell on the journey west.
In this manner he earned his way, and
by the time he reached California, Levi
Strauss had sold everything except a roll of
canvas. No one wanted clothes made of
canvas!
Or did they? It turned out that up in the diggings,

where the miners worked, pants wore out very quickly.


So Strauss made some pairs of canvas trousers to sell to
miners. More and more miners were coming to
Strauss and asking him for a pair of those canvas
trousers. Not entirely happy with canvas, Levi
started using a new fabric from Genoa, Italy.
The weavers there called the fabric genes.
Strauss changed the name to jeans and later
he called his pants Levis. They were popular
with cowboys as well as miners.
Today, called Levis or blue jeans, they are
popular with men, women, and children in
many countries of the globe.

to school or work on time, but
they're really under the control of
our body's internal clock. Every
mammal has a master clock in its
brain that tells its body what time it
is and when it needs to sleep.
Scientists recently discovered cells
in the brain that collect information about light
directly from the eyes. When light comes in, the
clock thinks that it's daytime. Then, as darkness
arrives, the body secretes a chemical called
melatonin, which tells the clock that it's nighttime.
As we approach our teen years, melatonin secretion
comes at a later time. Thats why children who
usually go to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m. all of a

Text: Clearing the Roads

12

The streets of London are rocking or at least rolling again. Last week the traffic-clogged
metropolis began demanding a 5 ($ 8) congestion charge from all daytime motorists entering the
busiest areas of the city. The result: a drop of nearly 25 percent in traffic.
The decongestant scheme employs some 700 cameras. Any driver who enters the zone a
patch of around eight square miles between 7a.m. and 6:30 p.m. has until 10 p.m. that same
day to pay the charge. (You can pay by telephone, over the Internet or in certain shops. Season
passes are also available.) The cameras check the registration plate of every car against the
payment records, and failure to cough up the cash lands one an 80 fine. The extra revenue from
the charge and fines, estimated at up to 150 million a year, will go toward the improvement of
public transport.
The idea is catching on. In Britain alone, at least 30 other towns and cities are contemplating
the tactic. Similar setups are already in operation in Singapore and Norway. But although all
flowed smoothly last week, questions remain. Will the decrease in traffic hurt local businesses? Will
traffic jams start up outside the zone? For now, all thats certain is that the 15,000-plus Londoners
whove already been fined will be the unhappiest new *straphangers come Monday.

Text: The Jury

George had stolen some money, but the police had


caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial
was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be
found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.
Then he discovered that an
old friend of his was one of the
members of the jury at his trial.
Of course, he didnt tell
anybody, but he managed to
see his friend secretly one day.
He said to him, Jim, I know
that the jury will find me guilty
of having stolen the money. I
cannot hope to be found not
guilty of taking it that would
be too much to expect. But I
should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could
persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong
recommendation for mercy to their statement that they
consider me guilty.
Well, George, answered Jim, I shall certainly try
to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I
cannot promise anything. The other eleven people on the

jury look terribly strong-minded to me.


George said that he would quite understand if Jim
was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him
warmly for agreeing to help.
The trial went on, and at last the
time came for the jury to decide whether
George was guilty or not. It took them
five hours, but in the end they found
George guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy.
Of course, George was very
pleased, but he didnt have a chance
to see Jim for some time after the trial.
At last, however, Jim visited him in
prison, and George thanked him
warmly and asked him how he had
managed to persuade the other members of the jury to
recommend mercy.
Well, George, Jim answered, as I thought, those
eleven men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed
it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools
had all wanted to find you not guilty!

Youve Been Streetviewd


Since Google launched its Streetview service two years ago it has come under a lot of criticism for
invading people's privacy. Streetviews software is meant to obliterate peoples faces but often those that
were in the street when Streetview cars passed
are still identifiable. For example, one
Englishman recognizable to his friends was
snapped throwing up outside a pub.
Anyway, for once there is a case in which
Streetview has unquestionably done good. In
2008 a Dutch 14-year-old in the city of
Groningen was dragged off his bicycle by two
men and robbed of 140 and his mobile
phone. Recently, the teenager was browsing
Streetview and was amazed to see that the
Google service had captured the incident on
camera. He went to the local police. They asked Google Streetview for the original image and used this
to arrest two brothers for the robbery.

TV addiction
The amount of time people spend watching
television is astonishing. On average, individuals in the
industrialized world devote three hours a day to the
pursuit fully half of their leisure time, and more than
on any single activity save work and sleep. At this rate,
someone who lives to 75 would spend nine years in
front of the tube. To some commentators, this devotion
means simply that people enjoy TV and make a
conscious decision to watch it. But if that is the whole
story, why do so many people experience misgivings
about how much they view?
