A St. Louis police officer has been charged with killing a fellow officer after a Russian roulette-style game went horribly wrong. Nathaniel Hendren, 29, was charged Friday with involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action, according to Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner and a probable cause statement. Hendren, who was on-duty at the time of the shooting, and Katlyn Alix were allegedly playing a game where all but one bullet was removed from a revolver and the two would take turns pointing it at each other and pulling the trigger, according to the probable cause document.

<p>On December 30, 1967, senior detectives from Scotland Yard sent owners of gambling clubs into a proverbial spin. Anyone operating a roulette wheel that contained the number zero would be prosecuted, they warned. From now on the whirl of numbers would all be reds and blacks – starting with the number one.</p>

The patient is one of two Yale School of Public Health doctoral students who recently returned from Liberia. The students were not in direct contact with Ebola patients in Liberia, but officials said the student interacted with at least one person who was later diagnosed with Ebola. Workers at the Yale School of Public Health expressed legitimate concerns Thursday about whether sufficient precautions were taken upon the students’ return. The students volunteered to stay away from work for 21 days, but school officials decided that was not necessary. School of Public Health Dean Paul Cleary explained in a letter to...

I met a Native American school teacher in Oklahoma last month, and we had a fascinating discussion about religion. He told me that many Native Americans are abandoning Christianity, and are turning to the religions of their ancestors.

He was angered by the fact that the US government had historically forced...

Two illegal immigrants charged with murder in roulette shooting A group of men were drinking and playing Russian roulette at a party in Delaware last weekend. As if out of a scene from The Deer Hunter, when one of the men refused his turn, another took the gun, pointed it at the man’s head and pulled the trigger. A bullet was in the chamber for that round of the "game." The man was shot dead. Wilmington police say two illegal immigrants have been charged with murder in the shooting death of Juan Tomas Chaves Robles, 30, of Mexico, during that...

But, Hell’s bells, son, it’s the only wheel in town!” The “bailout wheel” in Washington, D.C., is obviously rigged - - but it looks as if we’re playing the only wheel in town.

Mr Putin stated unequivocally that he would not allow the constitution to be changed to let him run for a third term. "If I say that everyone is equal under the law," he noted, "I don't have the right to make an exception for myself." Yet if the rule of law had even begun to take hold in Russia, the country would now be witnessing a massive, sustained onslaught on corruption at every level of business and government, in the form of police sweeps, trials, jail terms, public education initiatives — and purges of the judiciary and police themselves. It...
