A nine-month-old West Virginia girl died after sustaining horrific injuries during a sexual assault at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend, authorities confirmed Wednesday. Benjamin Taylor, 32, was charged with murder on Thursday morning, according to Jackson County Sheriff Tony Boggs. Taylor was initially charged with first-degree sexual assault and was being held on $2 million bail. The child’s mother found the nine-month-old covered in blood in the basement of the apartment complex where the couple lived on Monday morning. She had injuries consistent with a violent sexual assault, according to Boggs. "I’d have to say more clear cut than usual, without going into graphic details due to some
Sometimes, you just have to do the right thing. Motorcyclist and YouTuber RPSTV was driving on Sunday when he witnessed a hit and run, in which a man driving a white Saturn rear ends a Honda stopped in the middle of the street. Immediately, the Honda pulls over, but the Saturn bails on the accident and leaves the scene. When the biker turns around to make sure everyone is okay, he notices that the Saturn took off, so he takes off on his bike to chase the guy down. Eventually, the biker catches up to the driver and is able to get his face and license plate on camera as he attempts to tell the driver to go back to the scene of the accident. The driver doesn't turn around so the biker decides it's not worth creating a dangerous situation and heads back to the accident to give the owner of the Honda the runaway driver's information. In the clip, the motorcyclist explains that he was afraid the hit-and-run driver could turn violent, which is why he turned around. Regardless, the motorcyclist definitely saved the driver of the Honda a headache with his insurance company.

For quite some time now, it’s largely been accepted as fact that innovation in the HDTV space had hit an insurmountable ceiling. With ultra-thin 4K displays delivering incredible picture quality at remarkably low prices, it was hard to fathom what the future of TV watching would entail, or if it would even be markedly different from what it is today. But as the famous Steve Jobs quote goes: The best way to predict the future is to invent it . Apple may not have figured out how to re-invent the HDTV, but the same can’t be said for Panasonic. DON'T MISS: Under no circumstances should you buy a Galaxy Note 7 Following up on a product that they initially introduced at CES this year, Panasonic this week demoed what effectively amounts to an invisible TV. By employing an HDTV with an OLED panel instead of an LED screen, Panasonic managed to create an HDTV that, when turned off, is completely transparent. Whereas early incarnations of Panasonic’s futuristic TV delivered a somewhat dull picture, Pansonic’s engineers have been hard at work to ensure that the new picture quality is as bright, vivid and crisp as what you’d find from any other set on the market. As you can tell below, the TV when turned off (pictured to the right) is essentially nothing more than a transparent piece of glass. It When turned on, it operates just as any other HDTV would. The following side by side shot really drives the point home. The video below showcases what Panasonic has been working on and is absolutely jaw-dropping. The only downside is that Panasonic is planning to throw about three more years of development at the product before releasing it to the public. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoIQmWd8LTQ As a final point of interest, it's worth noting that Apple in the mid-2000s reportedly researched developing a transparent HDTV of its own. According to reports, Apple eventually gave up on the idea because "it used an enormous amount of power and the image quality was poor."
By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) - - One in five cases of chemical-induced liver damage come from herbal and dietary supplements, a research review concludes. A decade ago, less than one in 10 cases could be linked to supplements, researchers report in the journal Hepatology. Up to half of U.S. adults consume supplements that contain ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, teas and proteins to improve diet, as well as illegal anabolic steroids, which are synthetic versions of testosterone used to boost athletic performance, the study found.
A pair of U.S. Air Force B-2 bombers dropped two 700-pound faux nuclear bombs in the middle of the Nevada desert within the past few days. Now the Pentagon wants to tell you about it. Conducted “earlier this month,” according to an Oct. 6 press release, the test involved two dummy variants of the B61, a nuclear bomb that has been in the U.S. arsenal since the 1960s. One was an “earth penetrator” made to strike underground targets, the other a tactical version of the B61. Neither carried an actual warhead. “The primary objective of flight testing is to obtain reliability, accuracy, and performance data under operationally representative conditions,” said the statement from the National Nuclear
Yesterday was a big day for news surrounding Hugh Jackman's final turn as Wolverine. Today we got our first look at one his co-stars and, it's not a great look. We have received our first image of Patrick Stewart as Professor X and it doesn't look like the years have been particularly kind to him. Check it out. Yesterday we learned a great deal about Wolverine 3 thanks to director James Mangold releasing an image of the script's second page. We know that the film is set much later in the life of the character. He's older and his powers are not what they once were. As such, he's turned to alcohol to dull the pain. So first, we learned that Wolverine is in a bad way. Today we discover that Professor
