PHOENIX (April 14) — In a freak accident, a landscaper in Phoenix suffocated under palm fronds as he was trimming a tree on Saturday. Phoenix police say 36-year-old Erasmo Rodriguez Corrales had been cutting the fronds from a palm tree when they collapsed on top of him. Two co-workers also became trapped in the tree.

LONDON – An unemployed chemist was jailed Tuesday for spraying a mix of urine and feces on food, wine and children's books in several British stores. Sahnoun Daifallah was sentenced to nine years in prison after being found guilty of four counts of contaminating goods. The 42-year-old Algerian carried a mix of his waste in a container of weed killer concealed in a laptop bag, a court found.

Daifallah next visited a bookstore in neighboring Cirencester, dousing hun...

If I could ever choose, what would I choose? Sometimes looking forward to the future could get me excited and at other times it would make me feel drained, and like the whole world could in a minute become bleak and lonely. At other times I find myself thinking, lost in my own thoughts about my future and how I would like it to be, and as the days go by I notice how its ever changing never constant for a duration of more than one month. I am only human, and everyday I am always seeking something new, something more satisfying; but there are always those things we all wish we would have forever. And I sit and think and count and classify according to priorities what I would want to keep forever. The results I get is me writing, saying, thinking the same thing. Family. That’s the only thing I would want to always be the same never changing. You would ask me, Why? Well, I will explain my reasons in the paragraphs that follow. In the years that I have spent alive, and around my family, the...
