Actual AP headline today:  Experts: Defense in Yale Killing Has Tough Job

Yeah, probably.  Someone has been watching CSI.

The latest advice from the British government, via The Telegraph:  A five-page advice booklet tells civil servants that eating lunch near a colleague who is fasting can make them feel hungry.  The Home Office Islamic Network produced the advice which said: “In practical terms, please be sensitive when eating lunch near a Muslim colleague who is fasting.  This can make an individual feel hungrier and make it more challenging to observe the fast.”

I'd love to know if Muslim governments around the world give advice on being sensitive to Westerners, Christians and Jews.  Just asking.

SOFIA (Reuters) - The draw of the same six winning numbers twice in a row in Bulgaria's national lottery was a freak coincidence, officials said Thursday.  Sports Minister Svilen Neikov ordered an investigation after the numbers 4, 15, 23, 24, 35 and 42 were selected, in a different order, by a machine live on television on September 6 and 10. The results caused suspicions of manipulation.  An investigation found no wrongdoing in the draw or determining the winners, its chairman Konstantin Simeonov said."We cannot talk about any manipulation," he said.

In Chicago they'd ask, "Only twice?"
