Murder Suspect Has To Turn Himself in Twice to be Arrested

On Saturday a man, in Detroit, Michigan, reportedly shot four people during an argument at a party.

Two of those people died, and police began a search for the suspect.

Within two hours, the man turned himself in, at a fire station.

Firefighters called police to come pick the suspect up, but no one came.

Eventually the man gave up, and went to a police station where officers present there arrested him.

Police Chief Ralph Godbee has ordered an investigation, but due to recent personnel cuts it is quite possible that no officers were actually available.

70 Egyptian Generals Being Retired

Sisi and Morsi

Defence Minister Abdul Fattah al-Sisi announced that seventy Egyptian generals will be retiring.

Six of them will retain their positions on Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, but in advisory roles.

Just three weeks ago, President Morsi announced changes in Egypt's military structure, one of which was the appointment of Sisi to his post.

The moves are a clear mark by Morsi that he is in charge of the country, and that the military is definitely not.

Sun Myung Moon, Dead at 92

Sun Myung Moon died in South Korea, from complications of pneumonia, at the age of ninety-two. He had been in the hospital since Tuesday.

Moon was the founder of the Unification Church. The church is most well known for the mass weddings which they started decades ago. Some accuse the church of being a cult, as some of the partakers of the mass weddings have never met til the ceremony.

He was also extremely anti Communist. Mostly that was based on his imprisonment, by North Koreans, during the Korean War.

At one time he was taken to court, by the US government, for tax evasion. He was convicted and served time in a federal prison.

Various media outlets were founded by Moon, including the Washington Post and United Press International.

Bats Close Cortez Middle School

In Colorado, Cortez Middle School has been forced to close after as many as five colonies of bats made their homes there.

The school made the decision to close after bats appeared in the hallways during school hours, and dead bats were being found each morning in and around the school.

No one has been bitten, and they wanted to ensure that no one was, so the decision to close whilst the bats could be removed was made.

As killing them is not allowed, the bats are being encouraged to leave in various manners.

Once they have all been chased out, the building will be fully sealed, and a netting which bat sonar will pick up will be placed to keep them away.

The school is expected to reopen on Tuesday.

Southwest Colorado has seen a large amount of bats this summer, and bat removal companies have come from other states to deal with the influx.

Remembering: VJ Day

On September 2, 1945 a Japanese delegation came aboard the USS Missouri.

The delegation was led by Japanese foreign minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and the chief of staff of the Japanese army Yoshijiro Umezu.

Aboard the ship they met with General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz.

The four men would sign the "instrument of surrender" which formally ended World War II, as Japan surrendered unconditionally.

Fighting had ended August 15, but it took two weeks for all the formal arrangements to be made.

Pirates Kill Hostage to Send Message

Somalian pirates capture the MV Orna in December of 2010, and have had it ever since.

They have been demanding ransom for the ship, the cargo, and the crew ever since, but their demands have gone unanswered.

Now they have gone to a level that they had managed to not cross.

A pirate leader stated that they have killed one of the hostages, and wounded another, to show that they can no longer be taken for granted.

Til now they had avoided purposefully killing anyone, and stuck to being purely financial.

Often crews had been eventually released whether ransom was paid or not.

A European Union fleet, as well as Russian, US, and other country's forces patrol the area, seeking out the pirates.

The patrols have been partially successful, as pirate raids have been cut in half, and several times naval vessels have fought off attacks on ships or rescued the ships once they had been taken.

Best Beer Ad Ever?

Carlton Draught beer has been running an ad campaign of "Made From Beer". The Australian brewery's commercials have become increasingly acclaimed, but their latest has some calling it the best beer commercial ever.

Caltron's GM of marketing, Andrew Meldrum, said that, "At Carlton, we believe that beer ads should be fun. With the 'Made from beer' campaign we've always set out to remind us all not to take ourselves too seriously, and we try to do it in a way that puts a smile on people's faces."

In the "Beer Chase" four bank robbers go to the wrong bar for their celebration. From there it quickly turns into a classic 80's Hollywood car chase, though something is missing.

We found the commercial to be entertaining, though not necessarily the best beer commericial ever. What do you think?

Eleven Now Dead From Legionnaires in Quebec

An eleventh person has now died from legionnaires disease, in Quebec City, Quebec.

One hundred and sixty-nine people have come down with the illness since July.


Smokers, those with respiratory illness, and people with immune deficiency are at the highest risk from the disease.

Stagnant water in highrise cooling systems is believed to be the source of the bacteria.

Once there, the bacteria spreads via water droplets, through ventilation.

So far the city has inspected and cleaned one hundred and thirty cooling systems, throughout the city.

The public health department reports that owners of many buildings have refused or failed to respond to inspection requests.

Maurice Jones-Drew To End 38 Day Holdout

Maurice Jones-Drew, who has sat out the entire Jacksonville Jaguar training camp, is expected to return today after a thirty-eight day hiatus; according to ESPN's Adam Schefter:

Here we go: MJD returning to Jaguars today. Carry on.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 2, 2012

Jones-Drew has been trying to renegotiate his five year, thirty-one million dollar contract. He has been paid twenty-one million in the first three years of his contract, but wants to be paid in line with the other top running backs in the league. Adrian Peterson was recently signed to a seven year, one hundred million dollar contract; and Chris Johnson, LeSean McCoy, Arian Foster, and Matt Forte all have received new contracts higher than that of Maurice's current contract.

 Rashad Jennings, another Jaguar running back, confirmed ESPN's report of an MJD return on Twitter:

Just shared some love with @jones_drew32in the locker room. Glad to see you back - Let's work brah!
— Rashad Jennings (@RashadJennings) September 2, 2012

At a fine of up to thirty thousand dollars a day, and sixty thousand for a mandatory mini-camp, Jones-Drew could be fined up to $2.1 million for time missed in the off-season. If Maurice had chosen to sit out during the regular season he could have lost up to $261,765 per week, or the base salary of $4.45 million for the entire season. 

The Jaguars open the season this coming weekend at Minnesota. Jones-Drew is expected to play but will likely not be starting. Entering his seventh year as a Jaguar, Jones-Drew led the NFL in rushing in 2011 with 1,606 yards.
