Man shot in head with nail gun 30 times
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/5210676/Man-shot-in-head-with-nail-gun-30-times.html

Police hope the graphic image of Chen Liu's skull will help them track down his killer.

Detectives said the nails, which measure up to 85mm long, were fired into his head by a high-powered nailgun.
His decomposed body was found floating in the Georges River in southern Sydney in November. It had been bound with electrical wire and wrapped in a domestic rug.

Since then, the trail has gone cold and detectives released the x-ray as part of a fresh appeal for information.

Officers believe Mr Liu, 27, was shot and killed before being driven to the river in his own 4WD and dumped.

Detective Inspector Mark Newham told local media that post-mortem examination results had showed Mr Liu was shot repeatedly in the head up to 30 times with a high-powered nailgun.

"Similar types of nailguns can fire nails up to 85mm long," Mr Newham said.

Detectives said the nailgun used in the murder was a standard cordless, framing, gas-charged gun, widely available for sale and hire.

Mr Liu was believed to be homosexual and lived with his partner in Rockdale. He was reported missing by a male friend two weeks before two children, aged 9 and 14, found his body while on a canoeing trip. He emigrated to Australia from China in 2000.

Why is it called an out-break???

Shiiit. They dont' call it a cold pandemic when everyone starts catching a cold... Seems to me, it's just another ruse by the media to scare people.

New York City Flyover Photo Flop Triggers Recriminations


Many in New York and Washington are asking what the White House could have been thinking when it failed to alert New Yorkers that it was sending a 747 plane over the city to take pictures of the Air Force One backup plane with the Statue of Liberty in the background.

A photo-op over the Manhattan skyline that sent thousands of New Yorkers running for their lives has officials in Washington, D.C., running for cover.

Many New Yorkers on Tuesday were asking what the Obama administration could have been thinking when it authorized an Air Force One backup plane to fly over the city for photos capturing the presidential plane with the Statue of Liberty in the background.

The 747 plane, with an F-16 escort following close behind, circled the Statue of Liberty and the skyline near the World Trade Center site for about a half-hour. Offices were evacuated. Emergency call centers were inundated. Witnesses reported that the planes were flying dangerously low

Senate passes bill to outlaw sex with animals

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Having sex with animals could soon be outlawed in Florida.

The Senate unanimously passed a bill (SB 448) Tuesday that would make it a third degree felony for anyone to have sex with an animal. A similar bill in the House has not been debated on the floor.

Florida is one of 16 states without a law banning bestiality.

The bill sponsored by Sen. Nan Rich, D-Weston, D-Weston, would make the offense a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. The Florida law would not apply to veterinary practices.

According to the national Humane Society, several studies highlight a link between sexual assault of animals and sex crimes against humans.
