8 yr old boy dead after accidentally shooting himself at gun show

Large_ae%20fea%20guns
... with an Uzi. That's right, an 8 year old boy was firing an Uzi at a gun show and lost control of it, shot himself in the head and died. "Witnesses said the boy "was shooting the weapon down range when the force of the weapon made it travel up and back toward his head, where he suffered the injury," police said in the statement they released. He was conscious and lying on the ground at the shooting range with a wound to the right side of his head when police and emergency medical technicians arrived at the scene, police said."

Would people watch "The Sarah Palin Show"?

There's apparently buzz in Hollywood about this happening. If the VP thing doesn't pan out, would people tune into an Oprah-style show? "'She's attractive, she's of the moment, she's polarizing in a way that makes for very good ratings. She is the magical combination,' said Michael Levine, founder of Los Angeles' LCO PR agency who counts the careers of Demi Moore, Jon Stewart and Kathy Griffin among his successes."

Gun sales are "thriving"

While the economy crashes, gun sales are thriving. Two factors- worry about new gun controls under Obama and worry about increased crime. "purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen 8 to 10 percent this year, according to state and federal data... people often buy firearms during periods of uncertainty. People often buy weapons because of concerns about personal safety or government actions to limit access to firearms, causing spikes in sales, Kleck said."

Boy dies from salt poisoning, did the parents commit murder?

I'll do my best to summarize, but read the article to be sure. The couple had 4 kids and were adopting the victim. The wife was expecting their 5th. The prosecutor says the boy was forced to swallow 23 teaspoons of hot sauce. The accused would-be adoptive mother says the boy had a bizarre eating disorder, and that he would eat obsessively, including dog and cat food and garbage. Hospital workers say the boy had bruises. The previous foster mother said the boy had no eating problems. The couple are devout Christians.

IMF board: chief can keep his job after affair with subordinate

Do you agree with the decision? In case you're not following this, the head of the International Monetary Fund had an affair with a married subordinate and yesterday the 24 member board ruled that "there was no evidence that Strauss-Kahn 'arranged for or provided the female staff member with any work-related benefit for participating in the affair.' It also found no evidence that Strauss-Kahn "threatened the female staff member in any way" to keep the affair confidential."

The zero emissions electric scooter, "The Volt"

Volt1
The company is called Zero Emissions Motors, and the scooter is actually for sale, today. "If you’re looking for an inexpensive electric scooter tailor-made for city driving, then the new Volt electric scooter from Zero Emission Motors might be just the ticket for you. The new Volt electric scooter (named just like the newly-announced electric car, but unlike the car, available today) is a new electric scooter just released by our friends over at Zero Emission Motors - we got the opportunity to meet Adam Maoz, president of the company, a couple of weeks back at the Kick Gas festival in San Diego, and got to see the Volt in person. "

The Mini-E: electric version of the mini, "pennies per gallon"

081024-mini-hmed-9a
They're rolling out 500 as a test in New York and other cities. It's a 2 seater, the back seat holds the battery. "The specs aren't bad: a lithium-ion battery range of 150 miles, a top speed of 95 mph and 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds...And then there's the lease itself: $850 a month. That does include all technical maintenance and the cars themselves will be quite the fashion statement — each decked out with a huge yellow electric plug logo on the roof and a serial number on their front fenders."
