Man's 120th arrest is no bologna

LARGO — When police arrested Richard Harvey Warren on Thursday night on an accusation of stealing bologna from a local convenience store, it wasn't the Largo man's first brush with the law. Or even his second, third or fourth. Nope, according to records, Warren, 50, of 1201 Seminole Blvd., has been arrested an astounding 120 times in Florida since 1987. Through the years, he has been charged with everything from shoplifting and disorderly intoxication to indecent exposure.

State of the Union: Powell 'concerned' about Obama's agenda

WASHINGTON (CNN) – In a wide-ranging interview set to air Sunday on CNN's State of the Union, one of President Barack Obama's most prominent Republican supporters says he is 'concerned' about the new president's ambitious agenda and the high price tags accompanying many of Obama's initiatives. "I'm a little concerned," former Secretary of State Colin Powell says. "I'm concerned at the number of programs that are being presented, the bills associated with these programs and the additional government that will be needed to execute them."

Well this sure is an interesting development and state of affairs. Colin Powell waited until late in the election season to endorse President Obama after having earlier contributed financially the maximum personal amount allowed by law to the McCain campaign. Knowing that there is such a thing as Black Politics because of things like the Congressional Black Caucus and the personal stories and biographies of some Black celebrities, there was little doubt in my mind that there was a lot of behind the scenes political pressure on Powell to endorse Obama. Now with Obama in office, facing the magnitude of what the socialist leaning young and some would say overly ambitious President is actually doing in the Oval Office Powell’s actual endorsement is anything but and has turned to a serious statement of concern.

Stephen Hawking: "Humans Have Entered a New Stage of Evolution"

"At first, evolution proceeded by natural selection, from random mutations. This Darwinian phase, lasted about three and a half billion years, and produced us, beings who developed language, to exchange information. But what distinguishes us from our cave man ancestors is the knowledge that we have accumulated over the last ten thousand years, and particularly, Hawking points out, over the last three hundred. "I think it is legitimate to take a broader view, and include externally transmitted information, as well as DNA, in the evolution of the human race," Hawking said. In the last ten thousand years the human species has been in what Hawking calls, "an external transmission phase," where the internal record of information, handed down to succeeding generations in DNA, has not changed significantly. "But the external record, in books, and other long lasting forms of storage," Hawking says, "has grown enormously. Some people would use the term, evolution, only for the internally transmitted genetic material, and would object to it being applied to information handed down externally. But I think that is too narrow a view. We are more than just our genes."

Sadly, our species won't make it for much longer at the rate we'll going. There' so many things in humanity's way in these coming years that I want to believe we, as species will be able to make it through all this... but at this point in time, and the type of world we sadly live in, I don't see it happening unfortunately. To come all this way and for nothing... we'll not even going to be able to make it off this planet, let alone colonize space and other planets... What a shame. God help us all.

Man reacts to job loss with baseball bat

Every day, more people lose their jobs. Most do not react quite like this. Larry Dale Hummel, 43, of 8505 N Mitchell St., was reacting to being fired from Family Mattress on Thursday by luring his supervisor back to the 8518 Nebraska Ave. store later that evening and threatening to kill him with a baseball bat, according to an arrest affidavit. The supervisor told police he feared for his life. No other details were available. Hummel was charged with aggravated assault and taken to the Hillsborough County Jail, where he remains in lieu of $2,000 bail.

Parolee picks wrong victim

The car was running, while the owner popped into a gas station, so the target was too tempting for a parolee from Chicago who was in Lakeland. But there were a couple of details that Abel Angel Mena didn’t know before he jumped into the car and drove off, TheLedger.com reports. One was that the victim’s girlfriend was accompanying him in a different car. The other was that the victim, 33-year-old Frank Scianimanico, was a Winter Have police detective. So not only did Scianimanico immediately give chase, he called Lakeland police. Mena drove only a mile, then tried to escape on foot. He didn’t get far.

The fossils of three new species of dinosaurs have been discovered in Australia. According to Reuters, the remains of the two plant-eating dinosaurs and one carnivore were found in Queensland and date back 98 million years. "Australia is one of the great untapped resources in our current understanding of life from the Age of Dinosaurs. The discoveries...will definitely reinvigorate interest in the hitherto tantalizingly incomplete, but globally significant record from this continent," paleontologist Ben Kear said.

Pet python strangles two-year-old girl

A pet python has strangled a 2-year-old girl in the bedroom of her Florida home after it broke out of its enclosure.

Reports from the US say the snake's owner, boyfriend to the girl's mother, discovered the 2.5 metre snake was missing from its aquarium before finding it on the girl who had bite marks on her head.
He then stabbed the snake and removed the child from its grasp, AP said.
The snake was still alive when it was removed by the authorities.
The man did not have a permit for the snake and investigators are reported to be looking into whether any laws have been broken or any child neglect has occurred.
The Humane Society of the United States says up to 12 people have been killed in the US by pet pythons since 1980.
