Family fined $300 for trying to smuggle an apple, tomato and 3 cucumbers into New Jersey..Watch the video...

I'm not buying it. I have never seen a case where you aren't allowed to lose the food in the garbage and go on your way if you're polite and it really seems like a mixup. It's when you start arguing with the customs agents when the trouble starts. And her overly dramatic stuff about going to jail makes me think that maybe she brought some of this on herself.

Plus, how do you think the local news were notified? People have problems in customs every day. Hundreds if not thousands of people are bringing in stuff they're not supposed to and they get a little extra attention at customs. Somehow she gets local news coverage? My guess is she or the relative they're visiting called the press so they could blow this up into something and get a little pity.

Bill, good points. Your right she does seem like the confrontational type doesn't she? But, the poor lady was Tram-atized not Traumatized but Tram-ah-tized.

BTW why weren't these items cut up and put into containers made to be edible? Who takes a bite out of a cucumber with skin and all. However, I can see them eating the tomato like the apple by taking a bite out of it. Apparently the kids must have went ahead and ate the garbage anyway. LOL..

Nevertheless, expensive fruit and vegetables. Just think the apple and tomato cost them $120 and the cucumbers cost them $180 and they weren't even able to take them with them to eat. They had to leave them there.

Insecticide likely sickened inn guests

Published: 17/08/2011 at 12:00 AM

Newspaper section: News

Thai authorities have completed their investigation into the deaths of five tourists and a Thai tour guide at Downtown Inn Hotel in Chiang Mai, identifying the likely causes of some of the deaths as insecticide.

The Disease Control Department's five-month probe covered six deaths and illness in three other people in Chiang Mai between Jan 11 and Feb 19. The report pointed to likely causes of death, but could not confirm the agents.

Chemical and tissue samples were sent to certified laboratories in Thailand, the United States, Japan and Germany during the investigation.

Health experts concluded that Soraya Pandola, a 33-year-old American woman, died on Jan 11 from exposure to a chemical, most likely a rodenticide. Yet the exact agent could not be identified. Her Canadian friend fell ill but recovered. They stayed together in the hotel.

The experts concluded that a 25-year-old French woman who died on Jan 19 had evidence of inflammation of her heart muscles due to viral infection rather than exposure to a poison.

In the case of three New Zealand women who were sickened, the 23-year-old who died on Feb 6 had abnormal acid levels in her circulatory system, while the other two who fell ill suffered heart muscle injuries.

Abnormal rhythm of the heartbeat was the most likely cause of death for Waraporn Pungmahisiranon, a 47-year-old Thai woman, a tour guide who stayed in a room adjacent to the New Zealanders.

The investigators said the cause of their illnesses was likely the same due to the proximity of their rooms.

The investigators concluded that they were likely exposed to chemicals commonly found in pesticides, based on blood and biological test results from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and German labs.

"Despite the best efforts of the Thai authorities and their international partners, the specific agent that caused the deaths and illnesses in these events cannot be identified or determine exactly how the people might have been exposed to them," the statement said.

It also said a panel would be set up to investigate and recommend stricter measures for the use of chemicals including pesticides in hotel and market areas.

Thai health authorities are taking steps to reduce the risk of chemical and pesticide exposure to future Chiang Mai visitors and will apply the measures in other major tourist destinations, the statement said.

Aren't these the same "experts" that mocked an outside group of investigators who said it was insecticides about six months ago?

I love this line from another news report about the Chiang Mai deaths:

"These incidents were very unfortunate and we are sincerely sorry they occurred," a government statement said. "However, they were sporadic events. As in home countries and with all destinations, inevitably unfortunate incidents occur. With regards to pesticide usage, we are taking urgent measures to improve safeguards for everyone in an attempt to rescue the risk of such future incidents."

The difference is that other countries don't spend six months calling the deaths purely coincidental and angrily denouncing independent scientists who concluded the deaths were probably caused by an insecticide which it turns out they were.

Man goes in for circumcision, ends up getting his penis amputated...and sues his "KY doctor."

"SHELBYVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The dispute between a Kentucky man and a surgeon over the necessity of amputating the patient's penis during surgery in 2008 is set to go to trial this week.

The doctor maintains he found cancer in the man's penis during surgery and that it had to be removed, according to the physician's attorney. The patient claims the surgery was supposed to be a circumcision and he never authorized the amputation, nor was he given a chance to seek a second opinion.

Jury selection begins Thursday in the lawsuit brought by Phillip Seaton of Waddy and his wife, Deborah, against Dr. John Patterson of Louisville. Attorneys hope to start opening statements that afternoon.

The Seatons sued Patterson in Shelby County Circuit Court in 2008 after an operation that resulted in the amputation.

Seaton, now in his 60s, was having the procedure on Oct. 19, 2007, to better treat inflammation.

Neither Kevin George, the attorney for the Seatons, nor Clay Robinson, the attorney for Patterson, would comment on the case. George said Shelby Circuit Judge Charles Hickman asked the lawyers to refrain from making public statements. Robinson did not respond to phone and email messages left at his office in recent weeks.

The lawsuit alleges Patterson removed Seaton's penis without consulting either Phillip or Deborah Seaton.

George said during a pre-trial hearing on Aug. 2 that the case comes down to whether jurors believe the amputation "was a necessary part of the surgery.'

"This is really a fact-driven case," Shelby Circuit Judge Charles Hickman said during the pre-trial conference.

George has said that the doctor's post-surgical notes show Patterson thought he detected cancer and removed the penis. But, George added, the situation was not an emergency.

"It didn't have to happen that way," George said in 2008, shortly after the lawsuit was filed.

Robinson has previously said that Patterson, a Kentucky-based urologist, had permission to perform any medical procedure deemed necessary and that the doctor found cancer in the organ during the surgery. Robinson has said that Patterson "had no reasonable option" but to remove the cancer.

"Mr. Seaton's problem was not the surgery, it was the cancer," Robinson said in 2008.

The trial had initially been set for January, but Hickman delayed the proceedings because of pre-trial publicity.

"I'm optimistic we can seat this jury," Robinson said during the pre-trial hearing.

The Seatons are seeking unspecified damages from Patterson for "loss of service, love and affection."

The Seatons also sued Jewish Hospital, where the surgery took place. The hospital settled with the Seatons for an undisclosed amount.

The Seatons' suit is similar to one in which an Indianapolis man was awarded more than $2.3 million in damages after he claimed his penis and left testicle were removed without his consent during surgery for an infection in 1997."

Fired government worker 'murdered his children and wife after his request for a threesome drove her to lesbian affair'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Last updated at 11:13 AM on 17th August 2011

A man killed his wife and children after introducing her to a lesbian partner that broke up their marriage, a court heard.

According to prosecutors, James Kraig Kahler wanted to introduce another woman into the couple's sex life - leading Karen Kahler to begin a lesbian affair that he then blamed for the breakdown of their marriage.

A defence attorney for Kansas-based , who could face the death penalty if convicted, later dismissed that claim as 'a fantasy.'

Kahler, 48, is accused of fatally shooting his estranged wife, her grandmother and the Kahlers' two teenage daughters.

They were killed with an automatic weapon the weekend after Thanksgiving 2009 in the grandmother's home near Burlingame, about 20 miles south of Topeka.

Kahler's attorneys contend he had been mentally ill for months.

They say he suffered hallucinations and was obsessed with the relationship that his wife, Karen, had with another woman and her pursuit of a divorce.

Dan Pingelton, an attorney who represented Karen Kahler in their divorce, testified that she told him her husband introduced her to Sunny Reese of Weatherford, Texas.

James Kraig Kahler and his attorneys say Mrs Kahler's relationship with Reese broke up the marriage.

'Karen indicated to me that Kraig wanted to bring another partner into the marriage,' Pingelton testified during the criminal trial in Lyndon.

'She indicated to me that Kraig wanted to do a threesome.'

The killings occurred months after Kahler was fired from his job as the director of the water department in Columbia, Missouri, Mo. He was living near Topeka at the time.

The victims of the shootings were: Karen Kahler, 44; her grandmother, Dorothy Wight, 89, and the Kahlers' daughters, Emily, 18, and Lauren, 16. At the time of the killings, Kahler was living in Meriden, Kan., northeast of Topeka.

The Kahlers also had a son, Sean, now 12, who was at the scene of the shootings but fled without being injured.

He testified Monday that he saw his father shoot his mother.

During opening statements Monday, Haney said the Kahlers appeared to have a perfect marriage and family life for more than two decades before 2009, when the marriage became 'cancerous.'

He named Reese repeatedly as the cause and said the two women conducted their affair openly, in front of the Kahler children.

A settlement hearing in the divorce had been scheduled for early December 2009, with a trial set just days before Christmas.

Karen Kahler had filed for divorce in January 2009 and moved out of the family home in March.

'In a few months, it became fairly contentious, and it became worse as time went on,' he said.

Haney, who has repeatedly described Kahler as a loving father and husband, suggested several times that Pingelton was speculating. Pingelton insisted his comments were 'an informed opinion.'

At the time of the shootings, Kahler also faced a misdemeanor battery charge in Missouri, stemming from a March 2009 altercation with his estranged wife.

According to evidence presented in the capital murder trial, Kahler tried to hug her when she did not want to be touched by him.
