A woman in Colorado has saved her five-year-old son by prying open a mountain lion's mouth after the animal attacked the boy in their front yard, officials say. The mother heard screams and raced outside the house near Aspen, where she found the animal on top of her son, the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office said. The boy suffered face, head and neck injuries and was said to be in fair condition at a hospital in Denver.

The unidentified woman said she grabbed one of the animal's paws and stuck her right hand in its mouth to pry it open and free her son's head, Pitkin County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Buglione said. The mother had bite marks on her hand and scratches on her leg after the lion, believed to be two years old, ran off, he added.

Nugget was bad today. I went to store. Before i left i changed my purple wallet with my new one. Put purple back in my big flower purse. Put in same side as my diabetic kit. Zipped mid section up. Set purse upright and left. And home and she(the defendant) had turned purse over got wallet out chewed it a bit. Then got diabetic kit out unzipped it D pulled everything out. Ruined my sticker chewed the reader a bit opened and dumped out the lancets and the container with about 40 test strips. Some were chewed up pretty good. Don't know if she swallowed any of it. The lancets have metal sticker in them. The test strips would prob be hard for her to swallow but im not sure. You can see it when you come home. Hope shes ok. Im mad at her. For a couple of hrs i couldn't find the zippered case. While i was eating a sandwich she brought it to me. Stupid little Bitch!!!!
...
But before u say i should have had it put up remember i dont have a dining room table to put my stuff on

Waterworks officials in a small town southwest of Ottawa are monitoring a funeral company that has become the first in Ontario to use an alkaline solution to dissolve human remains, and then drain the leftover coffee-coloured effluents into the sewer system.

Aquagreen Dispositions began operating in a rental unit within the former Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls in May 2015 after receiving a licence from the Ontario government. Hilton's Unforgettable Tails, a parallel business handling the remains of pets, had been using the same process for a couple of years prior to Aquagreen Dispositions, but it took longer to get a licence to handle human remains.

The owner, Dale Hilton, who is from a family of funeral home operators in Smiths Falls, said he watched as the "green wave" swept through the funeral industry, bringing biodegradable caskets and urns.

Hilton said he started the alkaline hydrolysis business in the newly named Galipeau Centre as an alternative to the traditional, energy-using flame-based cremation process.

"It brings your body back to its natural state," Hilton said. "It's the same way as being buried in the ground, but instead of taking 15, 20 years to disintegrate, it does it in a quicker process. And it's all environmentally friendly."
...
Before Aquagreen Dispositions opened, Ted Joynt, the superintendent of facilities for Smiths Falls and the municipal employee responsible for water treatment, inspected the business.

"We keep an eye on these things," said Joynt, whose staff samples the water discharged by the users of the Galipeau Centre campus weekly at the point where it enters the town's sewer system.

Joynt said staff measured two spikes in the output readings from the Galipeau Centre over the last year, but those measurements were within the range acceptable for other commercial water users, and — in any case — the abnormalities couldn't be definitively traced back to Aquagreen Dispositions.

I am thinking "epic love" is the kind where you actually get to stay together for your entire lives.

Oh wait.... Shit.

(I really wanted to say "grow old together", but not everyone gets that either. )

My father was on the Sheriff's department that controls the jail when I was a teenager.

"New York prison break just one of 2,000 per year," trumpeted a Washington Post headline, one of many news outlets to jump on the news and repeat claims that the disappearance of murderers like Richard Matt and David Sweat's escape from the upstate penitentiary was a drop in the prison break bucket.

The thought of 2,000 hardened criminals escaping from prison every year is totally terrifying. And pretty much not true.
...
To make matters even cloudier, some states don't separate out escapes and AWOLs in their reports at all. According to the BJS, the state of Alabama had more than 600 escapes in 2013. That number is entirely meaningless, said Robert Horton, public information officer for the Alabama Department of Corrections.
...
States have different reporting standards, so comparing between states is nearly impossible, said Horton.
...
Nationally, the number of escapes from prison has dropped more than half in the past 15 years, to a rate of 10.5 escapes per 10,000 prisoners in 2013.
