It’s not uncommon to hear stories of people defending their homes and themselves from intruders– but when it’s a 70-year-old woman, that story is a bit more uncommon.

It’s exactly what happened in St. Joseph County on Sunday night, after an intruder broke into an elderly woman’s home on Portage Road.

The woman held the man at gunpoint until police arrived. That man is 28-year-old Cyrus Brown. Brown is being held in jail on a number of charges, including burglary and intimidation.

The woman who defended herself is Sandra. She asked us not to use her last name. Newscenter 16 spoke to her by phone Monday night, while she recovered in her hospital room. She’s being treated for heart problems, problems she didn’t have until Sunday night’s scare.

As you’ll hear, this 70-year-old is a gutsy lady who wasn’t about to let anybody mess with her.

It was all started about nine o’clock Sunday night. Sandra says she was in the midst of splitting wood for her fire and making vegetable soup, when she heard a ruckus outside.

“All of a sudden, I’m hearing fast footsteps around my yard, around my deck,” says Sandra.

That’s when she says she grabbed her gun and called 911. Moments later– the intruder– 28-year-old Cyrus Brown, broke through her back patio door, pushing his way through the glass.

“Immediately, I felt there was danger because he was so desperate,” explains the 70-year-old. “He’s in the kitchen by the stove, I told him to get down on the floor. I said if you come any closer to me, I will shoot you to kill. I told him to sit down, don’t move, and I want to see your hands at all times,” adds Sandra.

Police say a 4-year-old boy shot his babysitter Sunday because the 17-year-old stepped on his foot. Time out. WTF.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that the boy “retrieved a shell from a drawer in a back bedroom, grabbed a 20-gauge single-shot shotgun from a closet and loaded the weapon … returned to the living room, and in front of another 17-year-old boy and other children, shot [Nathan] Beavers.”

Beavers was treated for wounds from the birdshot, the paper says. The blast also injured another Jackson County, Ohio, teen, according to the Associated Press.

The shooter, who we’re not identifying because of his age, isn’t facing any charges.

“He knew it was wrong. He’d seen guns loaded and shot before, but he’s never seen the carnage it makes when it hits. He knows it now,” his father tells WBNS-TV.

Protesters condemned both Israel and the United States for the alleged ‘brutal and bloody all-out military invasion of Gaza’ and urge the United Nations to sanction Israel for bombings.

It’s not even 6AM and already a banner day for the MESAR. This event, obviously, reminds one again of Claes Oldenberg, but this coordinated absurdist street activity is unmistakably patterned more after the work of Oldenberg’s cohort, Happenings conductor Allen Kaprow. And, thus, another obscure movement is revived by the crafty shoe artists.

I wonder if this is gonna become a trend, like the “take a bite out of crime” dog. Instead of a bite it will be throw a shoe at crimes against humanity. And instead of a criminal dressed in black lurking in the shadows in the picture campaign, we’ll see a caricature drawing of George W. Bush with an oversized shoe smashed into his face.

Here they are hurling their creation:

High-Speed Bullet Photography

(images via: David Neff)

Photographer David Neff keeps his techniques top secret, declining to divulge any details as to how he captures such amazing images. In this series of high-speed bullet photography, he fires .22 bullets at various objects like pears, crayons and cigarettes and takes the photo just as the bullet is grazing or passing through them. The result is a visually stunning reminder of just how destructive bullets can be.

Charles Barkley, Matt Dillon, and that guy from Trading Spaces all rang in the New Year with DUIs (we can add to that list Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard, who was pulled over for speeding on January 3rd and then DOUBLED the Illinois blood-alcohol limit. However, he still sleeps with Jessica Lange, which is awesome.)

But back to Charles Barkley and his oddly digitized mug shot.

It has come to light that Sir Charles had motive.

Barkley’s arresting officer said “[Barkley] told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat. He asked me to admit she was ‘hot’ . He said ‘I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job.’ He then explained that she had given him a blow job one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life.”

You might remember this style from the early 90s for its memorable aggressive collar height or bold tongue. Back in the day, it could commonly be found on b-ball courts and skate ramps, and lucky for you it’s back on the street again. Part of  Puma’s I am 60 products. I just copped a pair, they’re the most comfortable pair of hi tops I’ve ever owned. Bout’ to go cop me a second pair cause the whites don’t stay white long.

#5. “Let Him Sleep it Off”
MYTH
This myth probably stems from most people’s desire to do as little work as possible while getting shit faced. Basically, the theory is that if someone drinks to the point of passing out, the best option is to toss them in bed and, like magic, they’ll be fine after a little sleep.

THE TRUTH

Tossing a friend in bed after they’ve passed out drunk is a fantastic idea, provided you’re hoping your friend drowns in their own vomit. Passing out and falling asleep aren’t the same thing.

Someone who has passed out as a result of alcohol intoxication is unlikely to be awakened by the need to hurl. If they happen to be lying on their back when the spewing starts, the chunks have nowhere to go except into the lungs. Tell Hendrix we say hi!

What You Should Do Instead:

Lay them on their side and, between shots of tequila, try to check and make sure they haven’t stopped breathing at some point. If their breathing becomes irregular or they start vomiting without waking up, they have alcohol poisoning. Call for help.

In the morning, they’ll thank you for being responsible and taking care of them in their time of need. At least until they see the collage of swastikas and penises you drew on their face and arms.

You don’t have to touch your lover in order to get them ready for the main event. Talking in a sexy tone near a whisper about all the things you want to do to them is a very effective form of foreplay.  “Foreplay is imperative! most men don’t even understand that 4 a female, it helps lead us into the “O”….can even give us an indirect ‘O.’” Here are ways to talk and tease her towards a pair of soaked panties.

• Tell her how beautiful she is while stroking her face.
• Run your fingers through her hair and explain to her how you’re going to ease the manxilla inside of her, while kissing her neck, then pull it half way out and repeat slow and steady for a few strokes before pumping like a made rhino.

PUBLIC ENEMIES
In theaters July 1

You could say being an outlaw runs in Johnny Depp’s blood. After all, his grandfather ran moonshine on the back roads of Kentucky during Prohibition. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the actor jumped at the chance to play John Dillinger in Public Enemies. ”Dillinger was one of those guys, like Charlie Chaplin and Evel Knievel, that I was fascinated with at a young age,” says Depp. ”And because of my grandfather, the character was pretty easy for me to connect to. In a way, this movie was a salute to him.”

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
In theatres Oct. 16

Australia. That’s where the wild things are. Director Spike Jonze made extensive use of Down Under locales for his long-awaited take on Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s tale. ”The look and feel is very naturalistic—when our creatures knock down trees, they really knock down trees,” says Jonze. ”When I was a boy, reading this story, I imagined myself really being there—not in front of a bluescreen.”

Wall Street financier Bernard Madoff, accused of masterminding a massive investment fraud, has been handed an ethics lesson by thieves who stole a statue from his Florida mansion, and promptly returned it, according to local press.

Robbers who swiped a 10,000-dollar statue from Madoff’s estate near Palm Beach, Florida on December 22, dropped it off at a nearby country club where Madoff was a member, signing the return “The Educators.”

Hanging from the four-foot (1.2 meter) statue, which depicts two lifeguards sitting on a raised stand, was a note, reported the Palm Beach Post.

“Bernie the Swindler, Lesson: Return Stolen Property to rightful owners. Signed by - The Educators,” the note said.

The statue was not damaged and police are continuing their investigation of the robbery, said the daily.

Madoff, 70, is under house arrest in his Manhattan apartment on a 10-million-dollar bail.

He is so far the only person charged in an alleged 50-billion-dollar Ponzi, or pyramid scheme in which major banks, ultra-wealthy private investors, universities, charities and Jewish organizations were among the victims.
