3,000 Ancient Buddhas Unearthed in China

Handan, China -- Archaeologists unearthed nearly 3,000 Buddha statues, which could be up to 1,500 years old.

The discovery is believed to be the largest of its kind since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, an archaeologist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told.

The Buddha statues most of which are made of white marble and limestone and many of which are broken could date back to the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties (A.D. 534 to 577), experts say.

The statues discovered during a dig outside of Ye, the ancient capital of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties may have been rounded up and buried after the fall of the Northern Qi dynasty by later emperors in an attempt to purge the country of Buddhism.

In some cases, the Buddhist statues may have been buried by the faithful themselves in times of danger.

Man gouged out lover's eyes

A man who blinded his girlfriend by gouging out her eyes has admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Shane Jenkin, 32, admitted at Truro crown court to attacking Tina Nash, 32, in April 2011 and will be sentenced in May.

He was arrested after assaulting the mother-of-two, who also suffered a broken jaw and nose during the attack at a property in Hayle, Cornwall.

Jenkin kept Nash imprisoned in the house for 12 hours after he put her through her terrifying ordeal, the court heard.

Following the hearing, DI Chris Strickland said: "This was a premeditated, sustained and vicious attack on a defenceless woman.

Jenkin was originally charged with attempted murder but was later reduced to causing GBH with intent. The court heard how he fled after the attack but was picked up by police.
Nash's left eye had to be surgically removed following the incident. Doctors tried to save the sight in her right eye but failed.

Woman caught texting and driving on Freeway with baby on lap and 2 unsecured kids in the back

Torrance police arrested a woman seen driving on the San Diego (405) Freeway with a baby in her lap, a cellphone in one hand and two unsecured children in the back seat.

Shawndeeia Bowen, 29, of Hawthorne, was arrested about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Lt. Stephen D’anjou said.

A tipster, who saw the woman as he rounded the “South Bay Curve,” called 911.

The caller kept tabs on Bowen, and police stopped her as she exited the freeway.

The 1-year-old was still in her lap and the phone still in a hand, according to D’anjou.

A 2-year-old and 4-year-old child in the back seat, did not have a seat belt on.

“In the event of an accident, there’s no way a parent or guardian will be able to stop a child from flying into the windshield of the car so it’s very dangerous,” D’anjou said.

Bowen was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, and the three children were taken into protective custody, police said.

The arrest came as Torrance police joined other law enforcement agencies for Distracted Driving Awareness Month.

“Her excuse was that, while she was driving on the 91 Freeway near Compton, the 1-year-old started crying and in an effort to comfort the 1-year-old, she pulled the 1-year-old to the front seat,” D’anjou added.

In California, holding a cell phone to an ear while driving is a citable offense, but police can give tickets any time they believe a driver is not devoting enough attention to the road.

Woman charged with arson

A Carlisle woman faces arson charges after police say she tried to burn down another person’s house on Monday. Alexandria M. Roberson, 26, was charged with two counts of felony arson, loitering and prowling and recklessly endangering another person.

According to police, Roberson intentionally set a fire in the front of an apartment. Newspapers and a red pillow were set on fire by an unknown device, directly in front of the front door. When one of the residents opened the door to investigate, they were met by knee-high flames, police said.

The fire was put out by the resident and no injuries were reported, according to police. Witnesses stated that Roberson was seen hiding in the dark alongside the apartment after the fire was put out.

According to police, the reason for setting the fire was that Roberson was upset over a domestic situation with her baby’s father, who was not at the scene at the time of the fire. She was arrested and taken to the Cumberland County Prison, where she was arraigned. Bail was set at $15,000. She is currently being held on a parole violation, according to court officials. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

Robber Girl tries to flee cops by jumping from 17th Floor apartment

She had model looks and the chance to turn her life around after becoming a criminal when just a child.

Shanise Paris-Goff died at the age of 18 when she fell from the 17th floor of a tower block during a police raid.

Moments earlier, officers had arrived to arrest the convicted robber after she had been on the run for nine months.

She had been freed after serving a year of a three-year sentence for robbery and assault and was expected to be monitored by the probation service as one of her early release conditions.

She had been tracked down to her boyfriend's high-rise flat and is thought to have panicked on seeing the officers.

The teenager scrambled on to a bedroom window ledge where she plunged to her death.

They were searching for her after she failed to register with her probation officer following her early release from a young offenders' institution in April last year.

Baby Born With No Blood

The extraordinary recovery of baby born with a severe case of anemia in the U.K. is being called a medical miracle.

Doctors gave Olivia Norton about two hours to live after they discovered the newborn had severely low levels of hemoglobin. So low were the levels, in fact, that what filled her veins and arteries could barely be classed as blood, the South West News Service (SWNS) reports.

The premature baby was born completely pale on Sept. 10. But after undergoing emergency blood transfusions, she began to slowly regain her color.

About six months later, Baby Olivia is alive and well. Her case remains so rare that it's being documented in medical texts, the Mirror reports.

Even still, Olivia's isn't the only story of baby born "without blood" to surface in recent months.

Earlier this year, mother Katy Morgan came forward to talk about her son's recovery after he, too, was born with "no blood."

Baby Oliver overcame a rare condition called Vasa Previa that essentially caused blood to drain from his body while he was still in the womb, the London Evening Standard reports.

After coming into the world without a heartbeat, the boy received a blood transfusion and a slew of other procedures after which he slowly gained strength, eventually becoming the healthy, active toddler he is today, according to the Sun.

93 year old woman retires her '64 Mercury after driving 576000 Miles

After about 576,000 miles (927,000 kilometres), 18 batteries, eight mufflers and 48 years, a 93-year-old Florida grandmother and her classic car have reached the end of the road.

Rachel Veitch, who lives in Orlando, hung up the keys to her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente after she ran a red light last month and realized her vision had failed her.

"I am legally blind, so I can no longer drive my lovely chariot," she told Fox News. "They don't have to take it away, I would not dream of driving that car again."

Veitch, a retired nurse, told that her car had outlasted three marriages and three sets of shocks.

She bought the car in 1964 for $3,289.

New Spa Treatment: Snails crawling across the face

A new spa treatment is slithering into the spotlight: snail facials.

'Extinct' monkey rediscovered in Indonesia jungle

Scientists working in the jungles of Indonesia have rediscovered a large grey monkey so rare that many had believed it was extinct.The scientists were baffled to find the Miller's grizzled langur in an area well outside its previously recorded home range.A team of experts set up camera traps in the Wehea forest, on the eastern tip of Borneo island, in June, hoping to capture images of clouded leopards, orangutans and other wildlife known to congregate at several mineral salt licks.


The pictures that came back caught them by surprise – groups of monkeys none had ever seen.With virtually no photographs of the species in existence, the scientists faced a challenge to confirm their suspicions, Brent Loken, a PhD student at Simon Fraser University in Canada and one of the lead researchers, said. The only images available were museum sketches."We were all pretty ecstatic. The fact that, wow, this monkey still lives, and also that it's in Wehea," Loken said.The team of local and international scientists published their findings in the American Journal of Primatology on Friday


The monkey once roamed the north-eastern part of Borneo, as well as the islands of Sumatra and Java and the Thai-Malay peninsula. Concerns were voiced several years ago that it might be extinct.Forests in which the monkeys once lived had been destroyed by fires, human encroachment and conversion of land for agriculture and mining. An extensive field survey in 2005 found no evidence of the species."For me, the discovery of this monkey is representative of so many species in Indonesia," Loken said. "There are so many animals we know so little about, and their home ranges are disappearing so quickly. It feels like a lot of these animals are going to quickly enter extinction."

The scientists' next step will be to return to the 38,000-hectare (90,000-acre) forest to try to find out how many grizzly langurs there are.They appear in more than 4,000 images captured over a two-month period, Loken said, but added that it was possible one or two families had kept returning.


"It's indeed a highly enigmatic species," Erik Meijaard, a conservation scientist who spent more than eight years doing field research in the area, said.In the past, grizzly langurs were hunted to near extinction for their meat and the bezoar "stones" that can, on occasion, be found in their guts, he said. Bezoars are believed by some to neutralise poison.
