 inmate escapes prison dentist


A 51-year-old Swedish inmate broke out of prison in November "because he had a toothache and wanted to go the dentist," officials said, the AFP reported Saturday.

The inmate, who was scheduled to be released the next day anyway, turned himself into police after getting his tooth treated. His sentence -- originally one month -- was only increased by one day.

The man told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter he had been complaining to prison officials about the pain for four days and finally busted out because he "just couldn't stand it," according to a translation by The Local.

A mother faces life imprisonment after confessing she drowned her 15-month-old daughter in the English Channel because the child was 'incompatible' with her love life.
CCTV footage has emerged of Fabienne Kabou, 36, from Senegal, pushing little Adelaide to the coast of Berck sur Mer on November 19.
The next day, Adelaide was found dead, strapped in a pushchair submerged in the water, by a fisherman.
After ten days of searching nationwide, police used DNA from the pram to trace Ms Kabou to the home she shares with a 63-year-old man in Paris, where she was arrested.
Ms Kabou, a philosophy student, told police she took the drastic move after deciding motherhood was 'incompatible' with her love life with Adelaide's father.
The case has sparked outrage as hundreds took to the streets outside the court and on the coast in a White March - a French style of demonstrating against child cruelty.
Ms Kabou had told her boyfriend, a sculptor, that she had handed over the little girl to her grandmother who had agreed to look after her in Senegal, police claim.
On Saturday, Kabou was taken under Police guard to Boulogne sur Mer and questioned for four hours by an examining judge in a closed court session.
The judge placed her under investigation for murder. She was remanded in custody pending her trial.
Her lawyer Fabienne Roy-Nansion  who was present during the interrogation said that her client had made a full confession.

PHOTOS: Train derails in New York, killing 4


First responders gather around the derailment of a Metro-North passenger train in the Bronx borough of New York on Sunday, December 1. Of eight train cars, seven were off the tracks.

"The windows broke out. ... The gravel came flying up in our faces," said passenger Amanda Swanson, who put her bag in front of her face to block the rubble. "I really didn't know if I would survive," she said. "The train felt like it was on its side and dragging for a long time. ... The whole thing felt like slow motion."

Firefighters and rescue personnel work at the scene of the passenger train derailment near the Spuyten Duyvil station.

A person is evacuated from the scene of the derailment.

Cars from the Metro-North passenger train are scattered across the tracks.

Firefighters and emergency rescuers swarm the scene near Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx, where train cars had flipped on their sides. One car was just feet away from the Harlem River.

The train operator -- who is among the injured -- told investigators he applied brakes to the train, but it didn't slow down, a law enforcement official on the scene and familiar with the investigation said.

Police divers were in the Harlem River hours after the crash searching for survivors, CNN affiliate WABC reported.

New York (CNN) -- Rail cars flipped over when a passenger train derailed Sunday morning, killing at least four people and injuring dozens more.

Firefighters and emergency rescuers swarmed the scene near Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx, where at least two train cars were turned on their sides. One car was just feet away from the Harlem River.

Three of the dead were thrown "as the train came off the track and was twisting and turning," New York Fire Department Chief Edward Kilduff told reporters.

"The windows broke out. ... The gravel came flying up in our faces," said passenger Amanda Swanson, who put her bag in front of her face to block the rubble.

"I really didn't know if I would survive," she said. "The train felt like it was on its side and dragging for a long time. ... The whole thing felt like slow motion."

Police divers were in the water hours after the crash looking for survivors, and cadaver dogs searched the wreckage. Authorities believe all the passengers have been accounted for, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters.

It was unclear how fast the train was traveling and how many passengers were on board.



"I heard this horrible, whooshing sound. ... It was very disturbing, very loud," said Hank Goldman, who lives near the tracks. "I jumped out of bed and looked out the window and I saw a light-colored object lying down. I thought it was the roadway to the train. Then I got my binoculars, and I couldn't believe my eyes, that the train had jumped the tracks right here."

At least 67 people were injured, 11 seriously, said Joe Bruno, New York's commissioner of emergency management.

"In terms of causes, we don't know exactly what happened," Cuomo said.

Federal investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were headed to the scene, he said.

The train operator -- who is among the injured -- told investigators he applied brakes to the train, but it didn't slow down, a law enforcement official on the scene and familiar with the investigation said.

"That will be a key point of concern, whether this train was moving too quickly," Bruno said.

The train had been traveling from the Hudson Valley town of Poughkeepsie, 100 miles north of New York, to New York's Grand Central Station.

It came off the tracks just as it was coming around a sharp curve shortly after 7 a.m., fire officials told CNN affiliate WCBS.

Of eight train cars, seven were off the tracks.

Passenger Frank Tatulli told WABC he thought the train was traveling "a lot faster" than usual.

He escaped a derailed car on his own and had head and neck injuries, he said. Other passengers were still on the train, he told WABC.

Another survivor told WABC that she climbed out of a train car that had overturned.

Nearby, she said, she heard injured victims moaning and asking for help.

"I almost feel guilty," she said. "I was just in a really safe spot on the train, just the way it fell."

Injured victims were taken to several hospitals in New York.

At St. Barnabas Hospital, doctors treated 12 patients, at least two of whom were in critical condition. One of the victims suffered a spinal cord injury that could leave him paralyzed from the neck down, said Dr. David Listman, director of the hospital's emergency department.

The derailment occurred near where a freight train derailed in July, WCBS reported. No one was injured in that accident.

Federal authorities are still investigating a collision between two Metro-North trains in May, when two passenger trains crashed during rush hour in Connecticut.

Service was suspended Sunday on part of the Hudson Line, Metro-North said on Twitter.

Amtrak said it was suspending service between New York and Albany indefinitely after the derailment.

It's unclear how long the investigation will take, said Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for Metro-North Rail.

"Once the NTSB gives us the all-clear, then we can begin to repair and clean up the tracks," he said.

U.S. President Barack Obama was briefed on the derailment.

"His thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families who lost a loved one and everyone affected by this incident," the White House said.

Sen. Charles Schumer of New York called on federal authorities to investigate "with speed and certainty."

"We must figure out how this happened," he said.

Mormon bishop goes undercover as homeless man to teach congregation a lesson




Tara Starling via Facebook


The disguise worked so well that David Musselman’s family members didn’t even recognize him.

TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — Members of a Mormon congregation in a Salt Lake City suburb encountered someone they thought was a homeless man at church on Sunday. What they did not know was the man was a bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

At least five people asked David Musselman to leave the church property in Taylorsville, some gave him money and most were indifferent.

He said he disguised himself as a homeless man to teach his congregation a lesson about compassion. To make his appearance more convincing, he contacted a Salt Lake City makeup artist to transform his familiar face to that of a stranger not even his family recognized.

Musselman wanted to teach his congregation to be compassionate towards homeless people.


"The main thing I was trying to get across was we don't need to be so quick to judge," Musselman told KUTV-TV (http://bit.ly/1gkeZMw ).

He received varied reactions to his appearance at church, he said.


"Many actually went out of their way to purposefully ignore me, and they wouldn't even make eye contact," he told the Deseret News (http://bit.ly/1aYkBtP ). "I'd approach them and say, 'Happy Thanksgiving.' Many of them I wouldn't ask for any food or any kind of money, and their inability to even acknowledge me being there was very surprising."

The reaction that touched Musselman the most was from children.

"I was impressed by the children. I could see in their eyes they wanted to do more," he said.

Musselman, who told only his second counselor that he would be disguised as a homeless man, walked to the pulpit during the service. He finally revealed his true identity and took off his wig, fake beard and glasses.




WTSP
David Musselman is the bishop of the Taylorsville Fourth Ward.


"It had a shock value that I did not anticipate," he said. "I really did not have any idea that the members of my ward would gasp as big as they did."

Ward member Jaimi Larsen was among those surprised it was her bishop. "I started feeling ashamed because I didn't say hello to this man ... He was dirty. He was crippled. He was old. He was mumbling to himself," she said.

It wasn't Musselman's goal to embarrass ward members or make them feel ashamed, he said. Instead, he wanted to remind them to be kind to people from all walks of life not just at the holidays, but all year long, he said.

"To be Christ-like, just acknowledge them," he said.
