    Investigators reportedly found a body in Meyers Lake believed to be that of Jessie Marie Davis. A source close to the family of Bobby Cutts Jr. said the body was found earlier today. Davis was nine-months pregnant with a child believed to be Cutts' and had a 2-year-old by him.

    Police were involved in an unusual kind of chase on a motorway near Gothenburg on Saturday night. Their quarry was not escaped prisoners or speeding motorists, but rather two circus llamas. The camelids had escaped from Circus Maximum in Vallhamra, and made their way to the E20 motorway, the principal route between Stockholm and Gothenburg. Police tried to catch the creatures, but their efforts served more to alarm them, and they ran backwards and forwards across the motorway, Expressen reports. The chase continued for an hour before circus staff and police managed to catch the frightened llamas.

    "The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs yesterday began notifying 1.8 million veterans and doctors whose personal information may have been on a hard drive lost Jan. 22 that their data could be at risk. When the agency first reported the drive missing on Feb. 2, it said just 50,000 identities were involved. In a weekend update, VA Secretary Jim Nicholson said that an investigation led by the department's inspector general had concluded information on 535,000 veterans might have been kept on the drive, along with data on 1.3 million physicians not associated with the VA."

    The United Nations has launched another effort at “reform,” designed to convince the American taxpayers that things are changing for the better at an institution known for corrupt practices. The public face of this effort is an American, Christopher Burnham, the new U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Management, who recently spoke to the Heritage Foundation about affirming “the highest ethical standards” at the world body and making sure the world body is more open and accountable. Unfortunately for him, he agreed to take questions, one of which – about the U.N. Secretary-General getting a $500,000 personal gift from a foreign government –...
