Fontana police say Hooks first caught the attention of officers when
he fled from a DUI checkpoint Aug. 29 in Fontana while driving a 2014
Ferrari 458 Spyder, which had been reported stolen. The Ferrari was
later found abandoned in the area, and Hooks had fled before officers
arrived, police said.
The next day, police say, Hooks arrived at 3 a.m. at the impound lot
where the Ferrari was being stored. Hooks broke into the facility and
stole the Ferrari a second time, police said.
Hooks faces charges of car theft, receiving stolen property, burglary and other warrants. He is being held on $55,000 bail.
Oklahoma oddballs ruined $2,500 worth of Walmart stock after they sprayed a store's shelves with doe urine.
Cody Hudson, 18, and Jon Ohlman, 24, allegedly walked into the Owasso
store Saturday afternoon and soaked toys, fabric and shoes with the
disgusting discharge.
They then fled the outlet near E. 96th St. North and Highway 169.
But the pair was later arrested inside a car at a shopping center's parking lot across the street.
Symantec found that the average number of security threats on religious
sites was around 115, while adult sites only carried around 25 threats
per site--a particularly notable discrepancy considering that there are
vastly more pornographic sites than religious ones. Also, only 2.4
percent of adult sites were found to be infected with malware, compared
to 20 percent of blogs.
Symantec's 2011 List of Most Dangerous Web Sites: Why
religious sites you might ask? “We hypothesize that this is because
pornographic website owners already make money from the Internet and, as
a result, have a vested interest in keeping their sites
malware-free--it’s not good for repeat business,” said the report.
"The Alcohol Policy Coalition complained to Australia’s the Alcohol
Beverages Advertising Code (ABAC), that the product had a “strong or
evident appeal to children or adolescents” due to its association with The Simpsons television series.
It added that because of such an association, children might be encouraged to drink Duff beer.
The complaint was this week upheld despite a Woolworths Liquor Group spokeswoman telling The Herald Sun it had received ABAC approval for Duff advertisements prior to its launch.
In banning the beer the ABAC said: “The Simpsons series is well known and very popular with children and adolescents.
“The association of The Simpsons with the product name and packaging
is so strongly entrenched in Australian popular culture that the name
and packaging will draw the attention of under 18 year olds.”
"About two weeks ago, Little Dude's family of about a decade took him to WAGS Pet Adoption,
a no-kill shelter in Westminster. The owners told shelter workers that
the family's apartment complex had implemented a pet rent that they
could not afford, said Cortney Dorney, WAGS' shelter coordinator.
The cat's primary caretaker, an older man, likely subscribed to a
"food is love" philosophy, allowing Little Dude unfettered access to
snacks without giving him much exercise, Dorney said.
"They said, 'We tried the diet food, but he loves to eat,'" she said.
Big
cats (in girth, not stature) don't do well in the shelter environment,
Dorney said. They tend to get stressed, which can cause their livers to
start to shut down.
So
when Dorney met Little Dude, the heftiest cat she's seen in her 20
years associating with shelters, she knew she had to get him into a
foster home quickly.
Jackson-Brunning, who works at Newport Mesa
Animal Hospital in Costa Mesa, has fostered many animals for the shelter
in the last few years.
When the shelter put out word of its search for someone to foster Little Dude, she volunteered.
"There's just something about him," she said."

"Well, one Portland-area family now knows exactly what happened to 43 of their missing socks -- the dog ate them.
The family's 3-year-old Great Dane had been repeatedly vomiting and
retching all day, leading the dog's owners to take it to DoveLewis
Emergency Animal Hospital in northwest Portland.
Vets looked at abdominal radiographs and found "a large quantity of
foreign material" in the dog's stomach. The vets went to work,
performing an exploratory surgery, and what they found is almost hard to
believe.
They removed 43 and 1/2 socks from the dog's stomach.
A photo provided by the hospital showed all 43 socks; it's unknown if there are any matches."

While driving along the main road on Olkhon Island in Russia, a couple
came across a fat prairie dog unable to free itself from its own hole.
The couple pulled over and assisted the “gluttonous gopher” out of his
hole.

"Not only did the leopard seals not attack as some
predicted they would, they fed me penguins, followed me around, and
generally put on a nonstop show."
In the video above,
Nicklen explained how an encounter with one particular female leopard
seal was especially poignant. The animal had a head larger than a
grizzly bear's, and it took his camera and his head into its mouth.
But
instead of harming him, the seal began to "nurture" him. It began to
bring him penguins, first alive, then dead, perhaps assuming that he was
a "useless predator in her ocean."
The top predator
apparently tried to feed the weaker Nicklen for four days as he scuba
dived in the area, working on the assignment."
"Christina Jahnz says she was in the parking lot of Elizabeth Middle
School on Wednesday morning because her daughter forgot her saxophone at
home. As she was driving away from the school, she started texting her
friend.
"I was running late for a business meeting, so I did a
voice text. I looked down to make sure it was all right. The next thing
I knew, I was looking up, there was white powder from the air bags
deployed," Jahnz said.
Then, Jahnz realized that the guardrail
pole went through the front of her truck, through her buttocks and into
the back of her seat. Elizabeth firefighters rushed to the scene, where
she says they used a saw to cut the front and back end of the pole
before rushing her to Parker Adventist Hospital."
