Man Kills Wife After Sex To Watch Sports On TV
UPDATED: 12:45 pm EDT August 4, 2005
PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- A Florida sports fan has been sentenced to death for killing his wife after sex.
Christoper Offord got angry because his wife wanted to cuddle after they had sex -- but he wanted to watch sports on television. She died after being struck dozens of times with a claw hammer.
Offord later confessed to a bartender at a sports bar, and eventually pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
In imposing the death sentence, the judge said the brutality of the crime outweighed any of the defendant's possible mental problems.
Offord did not speak in court, but admitted in a jailhouse interview that he deserved to die.
LINCOLN, Neb. - A California man believed to be the only Japanese-American to have flown over Japan during World War II was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal on Friday, the third highest of the U.S. Army's decorations.
Ben Kuroki of Camarillo, Calif., received the medal at a dinner in his honor Friday night in his home state of Nebraska.
"Receiving this medal so many decades after the fact is truly incredible," Kuroki said at the ceremony. "I had to fight like hell to fight for my country, and now I feel completely vindicated."
The son of Japanese immigrants who was raised on a Hershey, Neb., farm, Kuroki, 88, became a gunner and flew on 58 bomber missions over Europe, North Africa and Japan.
He and his brother, at their father's urging, sought to enlist after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. After being turned down by recruiting officials in North Platte, the brothers traveled 150 miles to Grand Island, where they were accepted.
Because of his Japanese ancestry, Kuroki was initially rejected when he asked to serve on a B-29 bomber that was to be used in the Pacific. But after repeated requests and a review of Kuroki's stellar service record, Secretary of War Harry Stimson granted an exception.
After the war, Kuroki returned to Nebraska. He earned a degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in 1950, and eventually moved to California, where he worked for the Ventura Star-Free Press. He retired from the paper, now the Ventura County Star, in 1984.

Media escalation unnerves protest mom --- By Judy Keen, USA TODAY
CRAWFORD, Texas — Cindy Sheehan's modest anti-war protest along the road to President Bush's ranch has evolved into a headline-grabbing national movement.

Brown は経歴詐称もしてたそうだ。 http://www.dailyillini.com/media/paper736/news/2005/09/09/Opinions/Column.Pointing.My.Finger-980155.shtml
Where was our government during this time of crisis? After a state of emergency was declared in Louisiana, after an evacuation order was made for New Orleans, after tens of thousands had flocked to the Superdome with extremely limited supplies, after Hurricane Katrina made landfall and the levee was breached, where were our leaders?
President Bush was at a photo-op playing guitar with a country singer. Vice President Cheney was in some "undisclosed location" in Wyoming. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld attended a San Diego Padres baseball game and Secretary of State Rice found the time to see a Broadway play, do a little shoe shopping and attend the U.S. Open, according to thinkprogress.org.
When in New Orleans, repair on the broken levee was delayed so that President Bush could construct a stage for a photo-op, according to a statement released by U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. He also diverted Coast Guard helicopters, crew and 50 firefighters to stand by him for yet another photo-op. This is disgusting. This President truly seems to care more about his poll numbers than the victims of the hurricane.
...
Starting in 2001, FEMA was systematically gutted and downsized by President Bush who also installed Michael Brown as the agency's director. Brown was previously fired by the International Arabian Horses Association for incompetence, according to The Boston Herald. Unbelievably, Brown's sorry performance during Katrina evoked not scorn, but praise from the President as he told the FEMA head "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job," according to The Associated Press.
"There's a chess game going on in the sky," Stevens said. "It affects each and every one of us. It is the one common thread that binds us all together."
Although the theories espoused by Stevens - scalar weapons, global dimming - are definitely on the scientific fringe today, there are thousands of Web sites that mention such phenomena.

I knew this guy and he was NOT Normal. Everyone thinks he was a great guy and I also thought so. But,from day one, I knew he was weird. What everyone reads is misleading. He as not the typical family guy that just had a run of bad luck and snapped all of a sudden. No, he was always a little strange.
He was overbearing and pushy - a control freak of sorts. I could never put my finger on it but I thought he was harmless. In fact, he almost tried too hard to be friendly. He was hyper and didn't really respect boundaries sometimes. He would talk about having been in the CIA but never any details. I was never sure if he was telling the truth about the CIA and that he spoke fluent Arabic, several dialects he would say.
But that's got nothing to do with it I'm sure. He was a freaking ego-maniac and obviously sick. I just can't get over how he could have done this to his beautiful babies. Do you have any idea what a .357 magnum would do to you?? SICK!
I worked with him at Children's Hospital in Oakland in the computer department.
I remember when he became a dad, it made a real impression on me about how proud and happy he was when Niki was born. He did it all right, that note sounds like him. He doesn't deserve anyone's pity, he's a piece of crap.
Give him a break!??! May he burn in hell....

“Good morning. I just finished a Cabinet meeting. One of the things we discussed was the terrible situation there in Minneapolis.

ポイント： who married the former wife of the heart donor
Twelve years ago, Sonny Graham's heart was failing and he was on the verge of death, until he received a call from doctors, saying a donor heart had just become available.
That heart belonged to Terry Cottle, 33, who had committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
The operation was a success and soon after, Mr Graham, 69, contacted the organ donor agency, saying he wanted to thank Mr Cottle's family.
He began writing to Mr Cottle's widow, Cheryl, 39, and they soon fell in love and were married in 2004, moving to the US state of Georgia.
