Justin Bieber is at it again

The Biebs has been charged with vandalism.  He was photographed tagging a hotel in Brazil.  After posting one of the pictures of himself, he added, "Great shot pap great shot, I might frame this." Instead of a year in jail, he will probably be required to pay a fine.

good news

Finally someone who gets it!  I am so tired of some people claiming that fat is not fit and that those who have extra pounds (who gets to decide what is extra anyway?) are just lazy.  Biology and behavior interact...yes!  other reasons for weight gain

visitor to a Hy-Vee store

Somehow a deer got through the front doors of a Hy-Vee store in Cedar Rapids, IA.  There weren't very many customers in the store at the time and they were all able to get out of the way.  The deer made it through the store and out the back door where it ended up in a truck.  The driver closed the door and delivered the deer to Shaver Park.  deer visitor

surprise for Marines

13 Marines heading through Chicago to San Diego got a huge surprise as they landed in Chicago.  One of the Marine's girlfriends had alerted John Colas, 74 and a former Marine--all she wanted was to get the Marines some Chicago pizza or something like that.  Just a small thank you for their service.  What the Marines got was way bigger than that.  In about an hour, John was able to get the fire department to give the plane a water salute, several police and airport workers cheered the group as they deplaned, and at their connecting flight they were upgraded to first class.  heroes

Batkid for a day

A young leukemia patient has a wish and Make-a-Wish is going to make it happen.  5-year-old Miles wanted to be a superhero for his wish.  The city of San Francisco is going to make it a reality on November 15.  His day will start with a tv message from the Police chief asking if anyone knows where Batkid is because the chief needs his help.  Miles will be rescuing a damsel in distress, capturing the Puzzler, and saving a mascot from being kidnapped.  At the end of the day, he will be thanked  and cheered-on by a large crowd and given a key to the city.  This is the first time that Make-a-Wish is asking for volunteers to help.  They're expecting a huge turnout.  Miles' parent know about the day but Miles has no clue except that he's going to be getting a costume.  hero for a day

emotional return for soldier

This story is not like the ones where a soldier returns home to surprise loved ones.  Instead this is about the remains being returned to family members.  The people on the flight had no idea until the crew made the announcement.  The flight attendant was the first to offer thanks to the uniformed soldiers on board for their service to our country.  Before landing, the captain informed the passengers that there was a fallen soldier on board and would like everyone to remain seated so that the escort could deplane first.  Everyone stayed where they were as the fire department brought on the water canon salute and the flag draped casket was taken off the plane.  One family member approached the casket and touched it ever so lovingly.  emotional return
