Police said 249 bags of heroin weighing 3.735 grams were found inside a 4-year-old girl's backpack.
A Delaware mother was arrested after her 4-year-old daughter brought over 200 bags of heroin to school and passed them out to other children at a local daycare, according to police.

Delaware State Troopers and medics were called to the Hickory Tree Child Care Center on Hickory Tree Lane in Selbyville Monday around 11:45 a.m. Staff at the daycare told police they spotted some children with small bags of an unknown substance.

The white powdery substance inside the bags was removed by the teachers and taken to the Selbyville Police Department. Investigators determined the substance was heroin.

According to investigators, a 4-year-old girl unknowingly brought the bags of heroin to the daycare inside a backpack that her mother, identified as 30-year-old Ashley Tull, gave her. Police said Tull gave her daughter the bag after her other backpack was ruined by a family pet.

NIH doctor dismisses Fox News host Elizabeth Hasselbeck's lunatic idea to close borders over Ebola fears

Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck speaks to Dr. Anthony Fauci
Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Monday asked Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institiute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, why he was not recommending a "closing of our borders" in response to an Ebola outbreak in west Africa.

On Monday's edition of Fox & Friends, Hasselbeck pointed out that a freelance NBC cameraman was being allowed to return to the U.S. after being infected with Ebola. And a man in Dallas who traveled from the Liberia to the U.S. was also fighting for his life.

"Why are we still letting people into the country who could have possibly been exposed?" she asked. "Why not just shut down the flights and secure the borders? Many of you want to know... Why not, just as a precaution until we get things under control, seal off the border temporarily?"

Fauci said that he understood why people might jump to the conclusion that a travel ban might help, but he said that Hasselbeck's suggestion "didn't make any sense" because preventing countries from getting aid could make the epidemic worse.

A Rothschild police officer arrested over the weekend after a 21-year-old Schofield woman told police the officer sexually assaulted her in her home Friday was released Monday on a $2,500 signature bond.

The officer, Corey A. Yolitz, 22, of Kronenwetter,was charged in Marathon County court Monday with second-degree sexual assault and burglary. He faces 52 1/2 years in prison if convicted on both charges.

The woman, who is not being named as the victim in a reported sexual assault, told police that she ran into Yolitz Thursday night when she went to a local bar to watch the Green Bay Packers game. After the game, the woman continued drinking until bar-closing time at 2 a.m. Friday, when she was "extremely intoxicated" and accepted a ride home from Yolitz, according to court records.

Yolitz dropped her off and left, the woman told police, and she went to bed, according to court records.

Later in the night, the woman told police she was awakened by someone having sex with her. She initially thought it was her boyfriend, and when she spoke to the man having sex with her in the darkened room, he responded as if he were the boyfriend, court records said.

Sierra Leone: 121 deaths from Ebola recorded in a single day

A health worker takes the temperature of people at a news conference on the opening of a new Ebola clinic, outside Monrovia October 3, 2014.
Sierra Leone recorded 121 deaths from Ebola and scores of new infections in one of the single deadliest days since the disease appeared in the West African country more than four months ago, government health statistics showed on Sunday.

The figures, which covered the period through Saturday, put the total number of deaths at 678, up from 557 the day before. The daily statistics compiled by Sierra Leone's Emergency Operations Centre also showed 81 new cases of the hemorrhagic fever.

Ebola was first reported in Guinea in March and has since spread to neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone in what has become the worst epidemic of the disease since Ebola was identified in 1976.

Smaller outbreaks in Nigeria and Senegal were brought under control. The United States last week confirmed its first Ebola case, a Liberian national who had traveled to Texas.

The overall death toll from the epidemic reached 3,439 out of a total of 7,492 cases in West Africa and the United States as of Oct. 1, the World Health Organization said last week. The U.N. agency's statistics varied from those compiled by Sierra Leone.

After an initial slow response, international assistance and supplies are now pouring into West Africa.

The United States is deploying around 4,000 military personnel to the region to support efforts to combat the outbreak in Liberia, the country worst hit by the disease.

Britain and China have sent personnel to Sierra Leone. Cuba dispatched a 165-member medical team, including specialists and nurses, to Sierra Leone last week.

Comment: The death toll numbers they are reporting are probably inaccurate. See: Liberia's Ebola death rate actually 84%?

UK farmers fear financial ruin as UK plans to push fracking on their lands without compensation

UK farmers fear fracking could leave them financially ruined, the National Farmers' Union warns.
British farmers fear extreme financial difficulty as a result of government plans to push through shale gas drilling on their land without the promise of compensation, the UK's National Farmers' Union warns.

UK ministers in favor of fracking must not assume the backing of rural communities, the union cautions, stressing that such a move could stoke the ire of farmers concerned about a depreciation in the value of their land.

A failure to show consideration for farmers' concerns may risk turning them against shale gas exploration and drilling in their locales altogether, the NFU told the Telegraph on Monday.

Nevertheless, the government is pursuing a legislative shift, which will strip UK citizens of the right to obstruct plans to frack beneath their land or property. The coalition has confirmed compensation will not be issued to UK homeowners or landowners forced to tolerate fracking on their land - insisting gas and oil extraction will not spark a reduction in the value of land on which such processes occur.

But the NFU, which represents the interests of 55,000 members and 47,000 agricultural and farming businesses throughout Wales and England, says many of its members are acutely concerned that fracking could reduce the value of their land even if no ecological or environmental damage is sustained.

Comment: Not only is the UK government forcing farmers to accept shale gas drilling on their lands without any compensation, they are deliberately hiding details from the DEFRA report which no doubt show the likely devastating health and environmental dangers, because there is already huge public opposition.

Florida man kills woman for 'jokingly' slapping him in the face

Florida man is facing manslaughter charges for allegedly fatally shooting a woman in the head after she slapped him as a joke.

The Clay County Sheriff's Office said that witnesses told investigators that 26-year-old Elliott William Orsborn, 26-year-old Jamie Lee Martin and others had been drinking in Martin's garage in Middleburg early Saturday morning, according to The Florida Times-Union.

Orsborn had reportedly been playing with his .22 revolver throughout the night, but the Sheriff's Office said that he had taken the bullets out earlier in the evening.

Martin's boyfriend asked Orsborn to "just chill" after he said something that upset her.

At some point, Martin "jokingly slapped the defendant across the face," the Clay County Sheriff's Office said. Witnesses said that Orsborn took the gun out of his shorts pocket and shot Martin in the forehead.

Martin's boyfriend recalled that Orsborn immediately said that he did not mean to shoot the victim. After a few minutes, Orsborn fled the scene.

Martin was transported to Orange Park Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Rob Kirby on the coming financial collapse and gold

Rob Kirby of Kirby Analytics
Derivative and gold expert Rob Kirby says the U.S. looks a lot like the run up to the fall of Rome more than 1,500 years ago. Kirby explains,
"The parallels with what we are experiencing today are so clear and so much like what was happening in Rome as Rome was falling. Diversions were the way of the day, anything to divert people's attention from the undermining of the empire. It was largely a financial debasement. Rome fell when they debased the currency. That's the major factor behind the fall of the Roman Empire. It was the debasement of the currency, and we are seeing the same thing today. What's at the heart of all these issues? What's at the heart of all the trouble in the world right now? The world's reserve currency has been debased to the point that it is going to go supernova. This is the whole illusion behind the strength of the dollar. The dollar isn't getting stronger, just like stars aren't going to have longevity when they go supernova. They get brighter and you might think the star is getting more viable when, in reality, the notion of it getting really bright before it goes supernova is exactly the opposite of the illusion of it getting brighter. It's what happens just before it goes black and dies."

Comment: The recent sharp rise in the US Dollar Index can also be explained through a quick look at Exter's inverted pyramid:
Image
As the financial system becomes more unstable, liquidity flows downward seeking relative safety. Money flows into US T-Bills and cash accounts which drives up the apparent value of the dollar. This occurred just after the 2008 financial crisis, and is in full swing once again. A good warning sign of the "financial end" is a meteoric rise in the relative value of the US Dollar just prior to collapse - when everyone will be trying to pile into gold at the apex of the pyramid, and gold will simply become unavailable. This is the reason that far-sighted countries like China and Russia have been trading paper (fiat) for gold in recent years.

American Education: Brainwashing children and suffocating freedom

A modern historian looking to chronicle the destruction of the America we all once knew could do no better than to deconstruct the U.S. education system today.

Along with providing American students a middling education at best - we rank 17th in the world and well-below-average for developed nations - what's really wrong with America's education system is the fact that we're engineering the next generation to become acclimated to what this country is becoming ...

And it's becoming a police state, where tolerance is zero and everyone is presumed guilty. The notion of innocence? To hell with that!

This will not end well for you or me, or our children.

As a parent - I have two kids in school - I am always on the lookout for examples of governmental transgressions ... so these days, of course, I am paying an inordinate amount of attention to American school systems. In few domestic settings will you find such misconduct (and downright ignorance) percolating through our country.

Standards of journalism, the Western press, and Ukraine

A woman passes a building destroyed by shelling a day before, in the eastern Ukrainian town of Popasna, October 1, 2014.
Whenever the public right to know comes under attack, a heavy responsibility falls on the journalist. When I was 17, my teacher told the class this salient information. Did the Western mainstream media learn it too or have they simply forgotten it?

"News is what someone wants to stop (you) from printing; all the rest is ads."- William Randolph Hearst.

Johnson's Russia List (JRL) was first published in 1996. I'd guess that every single working journalist with a passing interest in Russia is a subscriber - except me. However, it seems I might have been a tad foolish to ignore this resource. Note to self - less Groucho Marx, more Mark Twain.

The JRL is published daily, but occasionally increases frequency. As for the founder, I know zilch about him and we certainly have never crossed paths. However, this week, Mr. Johnson piqued my interest for the second time this autumn. The first was when he published a list of, what amounted to, US propaganda outlets which are anti-Russia by default. That was extremely useful for indicating to friends which news services to avoid for coverage of the region.

Comment: We see this too. Go to the Yahoo world news page on any given day and look at the titles of any of the articles regarding Russia, and Putin in particular, and you will see the Western propaganda machine in absolute overdrive. It's no wonder that, since many are reliant on the mainstream media, they are grossly disinformed and misdirected about the real causes of conflict in the world. Some time soon there will be a day of reckoning for these injustices, and it won't be pretty.

Sam Kane Beef Processors of Corpus Christi, Texas, has recalled 90,987 pounds of ground beef products after consumers complained about finding pieces of metal inside the meat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Saturday.

The USDA said four consumers complained, with one person reporting a chipped tooth. The pieces of metal were reported to be about 3mm, a USDA press release said.
