Rejane Moreira Telles, Student Nurse, Allegedly Injects Palmerina Pires Ribeiro, Patient, With Coffee

A student nurse in Brazil has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after allegedly injecting a patient with coffee, rather than a blood drip.

Rejane Moreira Telles, 23, had been working at a Rio de Janeiro clinic for only three days
when the incident occurred, the New York Daily News reports.

"Anyone can get confused," Telles told TV Globo, pointing out that the blood drip and a feed drip filled with a coffee and milk mixture were right next to each other. She also noted that she had not received training in this particular procedure.

The patient, 80-year-old Palmerina Pires Ribeiro, died last week, hours after the mix-up, according to the Daily Mail.

Nutritional specialist Dr. Armando Carreir told the network that Ribeiro's death "would have been as if [she] was suffocating."

Two nurses and other student at the clinic have also been indicted for manslaughter.

A similar incident occurred in Rio de Janeiro in late September, when a nursing technician allegedly injected a patient with soup.

You'd think they'd put the drip on the other side after the first mix up...

At the San Juan Hills Golf Club in southern California, course hazards include sand traps and falling sharks.

Or they did on Monday (Oct. 22) afternoon, when a 2-foot-long, live leopard shark apparently plummeted from the sky and landed very close to the 12th tee box at the San Juan Capistrano, Calif., course.

The writhing fish out of water was discovered by an on-duty course marshal, who acted fast to save the shark, according to the Capistrano Dispatch.

He loaded it onto his golf cart and drove it back to the clubhouse, where other employees joined the cause to save the wayward animal. After briefly placing the shark in a bucket of homemade salt water, cart attendant Bryan Stizer used his break to drive the shark to the Pacific Ocean, about 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) away.

"I thought he was dead," Stizer told the Dispatch. "When I dropped him into the water, he just lied there for a few seconds, but then he did a twist and shot off into the water."

The shark, which reportedly had two bleeding wounds near its dorsal fin, is thought to have been dropped over the golf course by a predatory bird, though no one is known to have actually seen the shark fall.

Julianne Steers, chief aquarist at the Ocean Institute near the golf course, told the Dispatch that there are ospreys and peregrine falcons in the area that could have snatched the shark from shallow waters before losing hold of it.

Fish falling from the sky is not an unheard-of phenomenon. The downpours of fish and frogs reported throughout history and around the world have been attributed to strong winds that pick up aquatic animals and deposit them many miles inland.

So apparently 1 million facebook profiles got purchased for $5

Dunno if it warrants a new thread

Mixed Feelings After My Conversation With Facebook.

Warning: According to Facebook you are not allowed to read this post, so beware.

Perhaps you know that a few days ago I bought information about 1 million FB users from a website for the meager amount of 5 US dollars.
Anyway, I received a strange message that FB wanted to talk to me – someone from a deprtment called “Policy” which in my opinion was an euphemism for “Police” and unfortuntely it turned out to be so.
Our conversation began exatly on the agreed minute and with the warning that it “is being recorded”. The part where they usually say that it is for the purpose of “improving the service” was spared.
They thanked me for what I have done but they also asked me that I did not share the information about our talk in my profile (?!?) and my blog.

“Now we would like you to send us this file, delete it, tell us if you have given a copy of it to someone, give us the website from which you bought it including all transactions with it and the payment system and remove a couple of things from your blog. Oh and by the way, you are not allowed to disclose any part of this conversation; it is a secret that we are even having this conversation”.

I agreed to send them the data and the website of course, for that was my purpose. I tried to ask what they would do next but they said it would be an internal legal investigation.
I asked if it was possible to tell what the problem was, after they finished the investigation, so that the users could protect themselves, but they they emphasized that it would be an internal investigation and they would not share any information with third parties. And they mentioned again that I must not tell about it to nobody, because…
The overall tone of the conversation was very imperative, it is Facebook after all.

FBI: ‘Cannibal cop’ planned to kidnap and eat 100 women

A New York City police officer has been arrested after authorities say the man was plotting to kidnap, rape and eat as many as 100 women.

In a criminal complaint, police allege that the officer spoke online with a coconspirator, who wanted to buy a kidnapped woman. The pair then discussed a plan to cook the woman and eat her body parts, police allege. In an online exchange, the man is quoted as saying: “I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus… cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible.”

It is also alleged that the man used a police database to keep track of potential targets.

According to an ABC News report, the man was arrested through a joint New York Police Department and FBI investigation as he met for lunch with one of his potential targets.

Gilberto Valle III, of Forest Hills, Queens, was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and for using the National Crime Information Center database to access unauthorized data.

The officer’s lawyer, Julia L. Gatto, argued in a court on Thursday that her client had fantasies, but he never acted on any of them. “At worst, this is someone who has sexual fantasies,” she said during a hearing in Manhattan Thursday.

Sexual fantasies about slowly cooking women alive. Right... looks like someone is trying to make a case for insanity.

Not sure if anyone in BG lives in South Carolina, but just in case, get your shit checked:

Cyber Security Fails As 3.6 Million Social Security Numbers Breached In South Carolina


South Carolina Governer Nikki Haley announced Friday that, “This is not a good day for South Carolina.” The bad news was having to admit a massive security breach in the State’s Department of Revenue that resulted in the theft of 3.6 million social security numbers and 387,000 credit/debit card numbers (only 16,000 of which, it is believed, were unencrypted,) This incident affects more than three-quarters of South Carolina’s 4.6 million population.
Haley characterized this as an “attack by an international hacker,” but no details have been released about the identity of the perpetrator while their investigation is under way. The State became aware of the breach on October 10 but could not close it until ten days later. Haley said she wants the hacker, ”slammed to the wall,” and certainly she must feel slammed as well. Was it just the luck of the draw, or are South Carolina’s cyber defenses particularly weak? This will be a question that the other 49 states will have to answer.
This incident will also place cyber security on the table for the presidential candidates as well. Even more than climate change, cyber security is a big complex issue that does not translate well into soundbites, 30-second spots or talking points. It is scandalous, but unsurprising, that this issue came up only fleetingly in the last presidential debate. Cyber security will someday be seen as right up there with Social Security, health insurance and national defense as key measures of our well-being. This attack makes it clear that not only are individuals incapable of adequately protecting themselves through consumer grade solutions, and not only do the vulnerabilities of business place consumers at risk, but government itself is not up to the task of vouchsafing its citizen’s identity.
“We want to make sure everybody understands that our State will respond with a big, large-scale plan that is somewhat unprecedented to take care of this problem,” Haley said, in an attempt to make it clear that she understands the magnitude of the issue. But her garbled prose raises concern that the states are out of their depth when it comes to global issues like this. What is needed is a national standard for cyber security that the government and business will adhere to in order to provide protection for our citizens. And like any tech standard, this will be an evolving entity. It must be built in a way that is responsive to the growth of the threat.
South Carolina has said it will provide affected taxpayers with a year of Experian credit monitoring and identity theft protection service. ”Anyone who has filed a South Carolina tax return since 1998 is urged to visit protectmyid.com/scdor or call 1- 866-578-5422 to determine if their information is affected,” the Department of Revenue advises.
“The cost is also going to be enormous, given that South Carolina may be required to pay for identity theft protection services for anyone who has paid taxes in South Carolina since 1998,” Stephen Cobb, from security firm ESET told Computerworld yesterday. ”Encryption of the data may slow down the process by which the stolen records are converted into cash through identity theft and fraudulent accounts, although that will also depend on the strength of the encryption.”
How strong is the South Carolina’s encryption? How vulnerable to attack are the agencies of other states? What share of the nation’s Social Security numbers would have to get hacked to compromise the whole system? The costs of failure are great, and state governments, stressed by years of budget cuts, may be our weak point. This breach should put cyber security on the national agenda.

only 16,000 of which, it is believed, were unencrypted

Only...? Why would CC info ever be sitting around unencrypted? That shit should be illegal.

Celebratory gunfire at a wedding party in eastern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday night brought down an electric cable, killing 23 people, a local civil defense official said.

"At the wedding, the cable fell on a metal door and the 23 people who died were all electrocuted," Eastern Province official Abdullah Khashman said by phone.

A photograph of the aftermath of the accident, published on local newspapers' websites showed a large courtyard strewn with fallen chairs and a pole in the middle supporting cables carrying lightbulbs.

All those killed were from the same tribe, Khashman said. Thirty others were injured in the incident near Abqaiq, a center of the Saudi energy industry.

Saudi Arabia banned the shooting of firearms at weddings, a popular tradition in tribal areas of the conservative Islamic kingdom, last month.

Eastern Province governor Prince Mohammed bin Fahd ordered an investigation into the incident, the official Saudi Press Agency reported

Love how they had to ban gunfire the month before too, lol
