A New York Times report has identified the victim as Mark Carson, 32, and the suspect as 33-year-old Elliot Morales.

In what may be the latest in a disturbing series of crimes allegedly targeting New York’s gay community, a man was fatally shot in the head May 18 while walking through the West Village.

As NBC is reporting, local law enforcement officials are investigating the case as a hate crime after learning the suspect, who was arrested just blocks from the scene, allegedly hurled a series of anti-gay insults at the 32-year-old victim before shooting him.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told the Associated Press that the suspect referred to the victim, who has been identified in the media only as a Brooklyn resident, and his companion as “gay wrestlers” after encountering them on the street shortly after midnight.

A woman who thought her family was being stalked by “demonic presences” killed her two children in a southern Indiana creek before she also drowned, police said Friday.

Police had released little information after body of Jaime Clutter, 35, was found in March, along with the bodies of her 10-year-old son, Brandon, and 6-month-old daughter, Katelyn. The naked bodies were recovered in a park less than a mile from where the family lived in New Albany, a city along the Ohio River just west of Louisville, Ky. Their clothing was found strewn in the creek.

New Albany Police Chief Sherri Knight said during a news conference Friday that mental illness, including postpartum depression, was the underlying factor in the deaths. Knight added that authorities didn’t know whether Clutter committed suicide or downed by accident, noting that “hypothermia was a significant contributing factor” in her death.

Amazing Auctions Let You Buy iPads and Other Electronics for Under $40

Few things match the thrill of getting an incredible deal on an item we really crave. It’s a basic human response that we all can relate to.

That’s why auctions are so much fun – they present the titillating chance of scoring something for a lot less than we would expect. And that leaves us feeling great, because we now have the object of our desire and we have money left in our pocket.

Marketers know this and exploit it all the time –hence the profusion of sales, discounts, coupons, and the like… so much so, in fact, that we become numb to the tactic. People just don’t believe they’re really getting a bargain.

But now there’s a new online company that has actually figured out a way to sell new must-have consumer products for jaw-dropping prices.

It’s called QuiBids – and it turns out that they are selling everything from the latest new Apple iPads and iPods, to MAC and PC notebooks, to HDTV’s and gift cards from the top retailers at prices as low as 5% of regular retail prices.

‘Not Just A Girl:’ Jaime Moore, Texas Photographer, Recreates Iconic Women’s Portraits With Her Daughter (PHOTOS)

 When Jaime Moore’s daughter, Emma, turned 5, the Texas mom and photographer set out to commemorate the occasion in pictures. Searching for inspiration online, however, she was dismayed to find the majority of girls at that age dressed up, unrealistically, as fairy-tale princesses. So Jaime decided to raise the bar.

Mom searched for better role models, and together with Emma selected five real women that a girl can actually aspire to be like. Then, they replicated iconic portraits of those figures — Susan B. Anthony, Coco Chanel, Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller and Jane Goodall.

The title of the series, “NOT just a girl,” is meant to be an inspirational message for young women seeking to realize their full potential — beyond vague dreams of Disney princesses.

Celebrity Net Worths: Jaw-Dropping Figures For Some Of The World’s Biggest Stars (TABLE)

Celebrities make more money than we simpletons do — that isn’t entirely new. But learning exactly how much they’re worth? Now, that’s sometimes hard to believe.

Take Julia Louis-Dreyfus, for example. She’s a gifted comedian, no doubt, who managed to break “The ‘Seinfeld’ Curse,” but did you know she’s worth a whopping $3 billion, thanks largely to family money?

And did you know Keanu Reeves, he of “Matrix” fame, is estimated to be worth more than Bruce Springsteen and Ozzy Osbourne combined?

Willie Wilkins, Veteran, Gets Back Dog Tag He Lost In World War II

Carol Wilkins leaned over the side of her father’s wheelchair and handed him the small red box, a heart-shaped cutout revealing its contents: a weathered, bent silver dog tag.

“Oh, Daddy, look,” Wilkins exclaimed as her 90-year-old father opened it, his eyes beaming and smile wide. “They’re back.”

Sixty-nine years after losing his dog tag on the battlefields of southern France, Willie Wilkins reclaimed it Wednesday after a trans-Atlantic effort to return it to him. It started more than a decade ago in a French backyard and ended with a surprise ceremony in Newark City Hall.

“I am so happy,” Carol Wilkins said. “You don’t know what joy is on my heart for what you have done for my father.”

Kayla Wheeler, Teen Swimmer With No Legs And Only One Arm, Is A World Champion (VIDEO)

Breaking a world record is a huge accomplishment for any athlete, but 16-year-old Kayla Wheeler has managed to do it with no legs and only one arm.

The high school student from Washington was born with three congenital amputations, according to KCPQ. She took to swimming at a young age as a form of physical therapy. Today, she’s a Paralympic swimming champion — and currently holds the world record in the 50 meter butterfly.

“It’s kind of indescribable,” her mother, Joyce Wheeler, told KCPQ. “When they announce her name and she’s representing the United States I get goose bumps all over. I’m so amazed that’s my child.”

Warp Drive Feasible? Relativity Loophole Means ‘Star Trek’ Device Might Actually Work, Physicists Say

.

In the “Star Trek” TV shows and films, the U.S.S. Enterprise’s warp engine allows the ship to move faster than light, an ability that is, as Spock would say, “highly illogical.”

However, there’s a loophole in Einstein’s general theory of relativity that could allow a ship to traverse vast distances in less time than it would take light. The trick? It’s not the starship that’s moving — it’s the space around it.

In fact, scientists at NASA are right now working on the first practical field test toward proving the possibility of warp drives and faster-than-light travel. Maybe the warp drive on “Star Trek” is possible after all. [See also: Warp Drive: Can It Be Done? (Video)]

According to Einstein’s theory, an object with mass cannot go as fast or faster than the speed of light. The original “Star Trek” series ignored this “universal speed limit” in favor of a ship that could zip around the galaxy in a matter of days instead of decades. They tried to explain the ship’s faster-than-light capabilities by powering the warp engine with a “matter-antimatter” engine. Antimatter was a popular field of study in the 1960s, when creator Gene Roddenberry was first writing the series. When matter and antimatter collide, their mass is converted to kinetic energy in keeping with Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence formula, E=mc2.

If y’all need a quick course on how stuff Southern Women say this video pretty much covers the finer points of a southern woman’s vocabulary. Since I live in the South this was pretty much like listening to a group of Moms talking at a kids sporting event. If you want to see another fine example of a Southern Lady talking watch Understanding Southern.
