Accused drunk driver ends up running over himself
A tip to the state's DrunkBuster hot line Sunday afternoon alerted authorities to a possibly drunken driver.
State Police Officer Grace Romero spotted the man's pickup truck swerving across both lanes of a highway, driving slowly and then fast. He refused to stop.
After narrowly missing other vehicles, police said the suspect drove through a ditch and a barbed-wire fence before stopping. He tried to put the truck into park, but it ended up in reverse.
Police said the man fell from his open door and both of his legs were run over by the front driver's side tire.

Cops: Alleged burglar dresses as beauty shop owner
FOLEY, Ala. -Authorities said a 42-year-old man, dressed up like the elderly owner of a Baldwin County beauty parlor and tried to break into her shop so he could look at himself in a mirror. The man was wearing a blond wig when he allegedly attempted to burglarize a shop owned by Rose Stevens, 76. Deputies said the man told them he wanted to sit in the owner's chair and look at himself.
"It gave me a chill when the deputy asked, 'Do you wear flowered smocks?'" said Stevens, owner of A Curl & Style. "I said, 'Yes,' and he said they thought he'd made himself up to look like me."
The man was charged with third-degree burglary, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The man's brother said he has mental problems and is obsessed with dressing like women.
Stevens said she was in bed at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday when she saw car lights flash in front of her beauty shop, which is beside her home. She said she thought the would-be burglar was a woman, but her 17-year-old grandson, who lives with her, said it looked like a man dressed as a woman.
Soon the intruder gave up trying to break in, got back in his car and began to drive away.
A deputy stopped the car as it was leaving and arrested the man, said Maj. Anthony Lowery, a spokesman for the sheriff's office spokesman.

Vote or Don’t
I feel like people look down on me because I don’t bother to vote, but I have my reasons. Mainly it’s because I am lazy and don’t feel like doing to research and learning about the issues, but I have my reasons for not wasting my time doing that as well. It is because my vote is worth the same as people who vote based on race and other stuff that doesn’t matter. Take the people in this clip from the Howard Stern show below as an example, the set up is this:
The highly educated voters in Harlem are so well informed, a reporter for Howard Stern was able to trick the people he interviewed into agreeing with everything John McCain stands for, including getting them to say they had no problem with Sarah Palin being Vice President. The reporter simply asked who they supported, they said Obama, so he asked a series of questions about things McCain represents, but said those were things Obama represented, and every black person asked said yup, I’m for it. This supports the case that many blacks are only voting for Obama because he is black.

Sheriff: Family cremated mom on BBQ, kept benefits
Allmond, 84, likely died of natural causes, though investigators were still trying to determine the exact cause of death, said
Allmond's daughter, Kathleen Allmond, 50, and Allmond's grandson, Tony Ray, 30, told investigators their relative died in December. They left her body on her bedroom floor for a week before cremating the remains in their backyard fire pit, Hosler said.
Investigators said the two kept collecting Allmond's monthly retirement checks, amounting to more than $25,000. Sheriff's Detective Richard Knox said they may have been trying to honor Allmond's desire to die at home and be cremated.
The two were arrested after Allmond's son grew suspicious about her whereabouts.
Both were in jail in lieu of bail, with arraignment scheduled for Thursday. The sheriff's department said they do not yet have attorneys.

Man Sues Doctor for Amputating Penis
Phillip Seaton, 61, and his wife are seeking unspecified compensation from Dr. John M. Patterson and the medical practice that performed the circumcision for "loss of service, love and affection." The Seatons also are seeking unspecified punitive damages from Patterson and the medical practice, Commonwealth Urology.
A woman who answered the phone at Commonwealth Urology would not take a message for the doctor Thursday. But the Seaton's attorney said the doctor's post-surgical notes show the doctor thought he detected cancer and removed the penis. Attorney Kevin George said a later test did detect cancer.
"It was not an emergency," George told The Associated Press on Thursday. "It didn't have to happen that way."
Seaton was having the procedure on Oct. 19, 2007, to better treat inflammation.
The lawsuit filed earlier this month in state court claims Patterson removed Seaton's penis without consulting either Phillip or Deborah Seaton, or giving them an opportunity to seek a second opinion.
The couple also sued the anesthesiologist, Dr. Oliver James of Shelbyville, claiming he used a general anesthesia even though Seaton asked that it not be administered.
A message left at Commonwealth Urology's corporate office in
The Seatons' suit is similar to one in which an Indianapolis man was awarded more than $2.3 million in damages after he claimed his penis and left testicle were removed without his consent during surgery for an infection in 1997.

Man shoots himself in arm after being denied sex
FORT MYERS, Fla. -Authorities say a Fort Myers man shot himself in the arm after his girlfriend refused to have sex with him. The Lee County Sheriff's Office reported that a 29-year-old man and his girlfriend returned home from a bar early Wednesday morning.
The girlfriend told deputies that her boyfriend wanted to get intimate, but she just wanted to go to sleep. When she refused, he became irate.
Authorities said the girlfriend went to a spare bedroom, and several minutes later she heard two gunshots. She told deputies her boyfriend came into her room and threatened her. He then stumbled into the kitchen before falling into the oven, knocking himself unconscious.
The man was treated for two gunshot wounds to the arm and was taken to jail.
The man was charged with threatening violence and firing a weapon in an occupied dwelling. He was being held on $100,000 bail.

Charge Dropped in Gas-Passing Case
The
A call to the prosecutor wasn't immediately returned.
Cruz, who was arrested Tuesday, still faces driving under the influence and other charges.
According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward Patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken the police station for a breathalyzer test.
Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but said he didn't move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman. He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station.
"I couldn't hold it no more," he said.
He also denied being drunk and uncooperative as the police complaint alleged. He added he was upset at being prepared for a breathalyzer test while having an asthma attack. The police statement said he later resisted being secured for a trip to a hospital that he requested for asthma treatment.
Cruz said the officers thought the gas incident was funny when it happened and laughed about it with him.
"This is ridiculous," he said. "I could be facing time."

Best Buy eyes Apple, Microsoft with Napster purchase
Rumors have been circulating for some time that Napster, which has been losing money for years, had placed itself on the market in the hope of attracting a buyer. Today, electronics retailer Best Buy announced that it would buy Napster for a total of $121 million, a significant premium over the company's value based on either stock price or assets. Napster had hoped to trade on its brand recognition in any sale and it appears to have succeeded: Best Buy put a $54 million value on the name.
Napster shot to prominence as one of the first P2P music file-sharing services but never seemed to have a strong business plan, a problem exacerbated when lawsuits eventually forced it to get out of the P2P business. The company has tried to stay in the music field, primarily by offering a subscription service both to individual users and to college campuses. Its executives swore that Napster's leftover brand recognition would help it find a following, but the business itself—a subscription-based music service—proved to be both highly competitive and less popular than purchased music. As a result, the company has been hemorrhaging money for years.
With the record labels coming around to the idea of selling unprotected downloads, Napster saw another option for moving music and opened its own MP3 download store. The à la carte music market is also highly competitive, one that Apple dominates despite its mostly DRMed music and where Amazon brings significant brand recognition to its DRM-free store. Napster's success with the new venture was anything but guaranteed, but it appears that offering the MP3 store may have been key to finding a buyer.
Best Buy makes its money by moving hardware, and it isn't particular about who makes that hardware. In fact, its home page features a banner ad for the iPhone 3G, made by one of Napster's competitors. DRM-free MP3 files have the advantage of working with any music player out there, and so may have seemed like a good match for Best Buy.
Still, it appears that, like Napster itself, the retailer is hoping that the name recognition hangover from the P2P days will be worth something. Best Buy actually offers MP3 downloads currently, but the fact has barely registered in the marketplace. A clear indication comes on the company's download web page, which now offers a prominent link to eMusic and the page where Best Buy sells iTunes gift cards. That could change, however, if the company decides that the Napster brand gives it an opportunity. Best Buy's extensive retail presence and marketing budget would give it an opportunity to push the Napster brand in a way that the formerly-independent company could only dream of and make a run at other players in the online music business.
In a further reason to be skeptical of the deal, Reuters is reporting that the existing Napster management, which never managed to do much with the company, have all signed on to work with Best Buy. Best Buy's purchase price of $2.65 a share is nearly double Napster's Friday trading price, making the deal a rare bit of good news in today's troubled financial markets.

The 31-year-old man was allegedly too drunk to perform field sobriety tests and was arrested on aggravated drunken driving charges, court records said.
Ward found four opened bottles of beer in the car, court records showed.
It was the man's sixth DWI arrest. He had been found guilty of four of five previous drunken driving charges and has paid $1,750 in fines, the

Is iTunes' new shuffle 'Genius'?
Along with today's announcement of new iPods, Apple also revved its flagship music player softwareiTunes to Version 8. The update comes with a variety of features, including an additional grid view for displaying your music collection and a new visualizer (does anyone still use visualizers?)
The biggest add for the software, however, are the new "Genius Shuffle" and "Genius Taskbar" features. Both aim to provide more music-discovery options toiTunes 8 users. Select a song in your library, click the Genius option under your Playlists, and iTunes creates a playlist from your library with songs that are similar to your selection.
The Genius Taskbar is less exciting. When activated, it analyzes the music you listen to and finds and recommends songs from the iTunes Store that are related. If you're an impulse shopper, that might be a boon or a bane.
Unfortunately, both the Genius Shuffle and Genius Taskbar are only available with a functioning iTunes account, which likewise requires sharing your active Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or validated PayPal information with Apple. So where is the Genius love for us poor scrubs without credit cards? No child left behind, indeed!

A fresh take on the browser
So why are we launching Google Chrome? Because we believe we can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web.
All of us at Google spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends -- all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build.
On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff -- the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.
This is just the beginning -- Google Chrome is far from done. We're releasing this beta for Windows to start the broader discussion and hear from you as quickly as possible. We're hard at work building versions for Mac and Linux too, and will continue to make it even faster and more robust.
We owe a great debt to many open source projects, and we're committed to continuing on their path. We've used components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox, among others -- and in that spirit, we are making all of our code open source as well. We hope to collaborate with the entire community to help drive the web forward.
The web gets better with more options and innovation. Google Chrome is another option, and we hope it contributes to making the web even better.
