TAMARAC, Fla. (AP) — Authorities in Tamarac, Fla. say a woman was caught injecting foul-smelling liquid into baby food in a supermarket.
Officials say 50-year-old Shirley Ybarra (ee-BAR’-uh) was spotted Tuesday night by Publix employees adding a black liquid that smelled like ammonia to the baby food and juice containers. Sheriff’s deputies said Ybarra told the employees she was mixing food for her son — but her son is 21.
Drunk 13 year old drives to get aunty from nightclub
Drunk Kid
A 13-YEAR-old girl who blew .115 while driving to pick up her aunty from a nightclub was among 52 drink-drivers caught in a city-wide blitz on Friday night.
The highest reading went to a man who blew .233, almost five times the legal driving limit.
Darwin police watch commander, senior sergeant Chris Lyndon said more than 1600 motorists were breath-tested on Friday night.
He said from the number of arrests, clearly the message of not drink-driving was not getting through.
“There is a complete lack of understanding of the implications of drink-driving,” he said.
I’m trying to understand what possible motivation you may have had for publishing that vile cartoon depicting the shooting of the chimpanzee that went crazy. I guess you thought it would be funny to suggest that whomever was responsible for writing the Economic Recovery legislation must have the intelligence and judgment of a deranged, violent chimpanzee, and should be shot to protect the larger community. Really? Did it occur to you that this suggestion would imply a connection between President Barack Obama and the deranged chimpanzee? Did it occur to you that our President has been receiving death threats since early in his candidacy? Did it occur to you that blacks have historically been compared to various apes as a way of racist insult and mockery? Did you intend to invoke these painful themes when you printed the cartoon?
Seems a little bias to me, but PolitiFact has compiled more than 500 campaign promises Barack Obama made during the political trail and is tracking their progress on a thing called Obameter.
PolitiFact rates the status as No Action, In the Works or Stalled. Once PolitiFact finds the action is completed, PolitiFact rates them Promise Kept, Compromise or Promise Broken.
Many black women unmarried
Some locals advise unmarried black women not to focus on the statistics.

Marriage was always a part of Camille Bridges’ life plan, and at 24 years old that plan became a reality.
But for many black women locally and nationally, the dream of marriage remains only that.
Forty-two percent of black women have never been married, compared to 21 percent of white women, according to national statistics.
But Bridges believes the data don’t have to be an indicator of the outcome of black relationships.
“I believe that if you have a desire to be married, it’s about timing and knowing who you are first,” she said. “Don’t worry about what you don’t have. Worry about what you do have and before you know it, your mate will come.”
This young gentleman could be adding you as a friend on facebook as he changes his status update from his prison cell.
A convicted killer has boasted on Facebook that being in jail is like being on holiday.
Ashley Graham, 27, even put up a picture of himself on the social networking website ‘relaxing’ in his cell.
Graham is serving life at HMP Lindholme in South Yorkshire for stabbing a man through the heart.
But he manages to access Facebook every day by using a mobile phone that was smuggled in to the jail.
In one update he wrote: ‘HMP Holiday’s a place where men can come for a nice relaxin break from their moanin women and crying kids. No stress just rest.’
TelTech Systems is offering mobile telephone users the power to unmask callers who block their numbers or names from being displayed.
The US-based firm launched a TrapCall service this month with an online posting thanking its development team and declaring “Get ready for the site to go ballistic.”
To use the service, people register mobile telephone numbers at a TrapCall.com website without having to download software to devices.
Calls from unidentified sources can then be bounced to TelTech computers, which reveal points of origin.
Mobile telephone users can then decide whether to accept the calls.
Def Jam Records officially announced Tuesday that Chris Hicks has been appointed the executive vice president of the label, almost a month after MTV News confirmed the move.
Hicks, a former senior executive at Atlantic Records and Warner/Chappell Music, replaced the late Shakir Stewart, who held the position following Jay-Z’s stint as president of the storied hip-hop label.
Like some other newly minted presidents, Hicks has inherited a number of difficult situations.
There’s one of his flagship artists, Rick Ross, who’s embroiled in an ongoing feud with 50 Cent. There’s the uncertain status of Jay-Z as a recording artist with the label. And, of course, there’s Def Jam artist Rihanna, who is reportedly the victim in an alleged physical altercation with Chris Brown.
With regard to Rihanna, Hicks said he echoes Jay-Z’s recent statement on the matter.
Rihanna’s father is upset with the Los Angeles Police Department after a photo of his battered and bruised daughter leaked on Thursday.
“Sloppy work on their part,” Ronald Fenty told PEOPLE after the photo emerged on the internet.
The LAPD is looking into the leak. “The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence,” said the police in a statement.
“The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel complaint,” the statement continued. “A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”
Today is Rihanna’s 21st birthday. She was supposed to celebrate with a lavish party in New York City, but it was canceled in the aftermath of the events.
The post released the following statement (which some are calling an apology) in response to protests over this controversial cartoon. In my opinion the statement may as well had been sorry for making fun of black people…here’s some banannas to make up for it.
“Wednesday’s Page Six cartoon – caricaturing Monday’s police shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut – has created considerable controversy. It shows two police officers standing over the chimp’s body: “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill,” one officer says. (more…)
I guess it’s official. We all hoped it was something simple, but looking at the photo above, Chris Brown really gave Rihanna a beating. She is a beautiful girl, so to see a picture of her like this, is more than shocking.
