Wife Chops Cheating Husband's Penis Off, Twice
A Chinese woman was so incensed after learning about her husband's extramarital affair that she cut his penis off. Twice. The New York Post reports that 32-year-old Fan Lung used his wife's phone (?) to send his mistress a dirty email, which, of course, she discovered. Lung's failure to log out of his account resulted in his wife, Feng, finding the message and cutting his dick off with a pair of scissors as he slept. Doctors were able to reattach it, but Feng, still angry, slipped into the emergency room and sliced his dick off once more. This time, she made certain to dispose of it, hurling it out of a window. The couple then created a spectacle, as a bleeding Lung reportedly chased his wife out of the building and attacked her. She ended up being treated at the hospital before being arrested and charged with grievous bodily harm. As for Lung's penis, well, authorities were unable to find it.

'Piles of bodies' in attacked town
Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - When Borye Kime crept back into the fishing town of Baga in northeast Nigeria in the early hours of Monday, a weak moon shone on a grisly sight. "It is corpses everywhere," he told AFP. "The whole town smells of decomposing bodies," the 40-year-old fisherman added. Kime was one of thousands who fled across the border to Chad when Boko Haram fighters stormed his hometown of Baga in Nigeria's far northeast on January 3. In the days that followed, the town and at least 16 settlements nearby were burnt to the ground. What happened in the remote north of Borno state is gradually emerging, lending weight to fears that it may be the deadliest attack yet in a six-year insurgency that has killed over 13,000. On Saturday, another man, Yanaye Grema, said he was forced to hide for three days while the militants ransacked Baga. He eventually fled into the bush under the cover of darkness on Tuesday. "For five kilometres (three miles), I kept stepping on dead bodies," he said. Amnesty International said numerous eye-witnesses had described how the Boko Haram militants went from door to door, pulling out young men of fighting age and shooting them dead in the street. "It is based on these witnesses' testimonies that we are able to say that hundreds of civilians died in the attack, if not more, and thousands have been displaced," said the group's Nigeria researcher Daniel Eyre. - Piles of bodies - Kime knew he was taking a risk by returning to Baga but he said he had to go to retrieve life-savings and money given to him for safe-keeping. "At first I tried to get in from the northern outskirts but I saw flashlights and heard people talking. From the silhouettes, I could tell it was a Boko Haram barricade," he said. "I withdrew and tried to approach it from the east and again I saw flashlights close to the primary school. It was another security post. "I moved away and went in by the livestock market, where I saw piles of bodies scattered all over. It was obviously a scene of a massacre." In the moonlight, he could see that the town was in ruins. His own home was almost totally destroyed by fire but he still managed to retrieve his cash. "I didn't stay for more than 10 minutes," he said. "By 3:00 am I was in the canoe paddling back to Dubuwa (village, in Chad). "It was only when I was heading back that fear gripped me. I realised what grave danger I got myself in." Nigeria's government has claimed that troops were "actively pursuing" the militants as part of an operation to take back control of Baga. But Kime said there was "not a single soldier in Baga". Others reported seeing troops abandon their posts when Boko Haram attacked, leaving the fighting to civilian vigilantes. "The vigilantes fought for some time but withdrew because they could not match Boko Haram's heavy weapons," said Mala Kyari Shuwaram, a local chief from Baga who also made it to Dubuwa. "It was good the vigilantes put up resistance because that gave many of us time to flee Baga and take canoes into Lake Chad, otherwise we would all have been dead. "I personally aided four fleeing soldiers to get to a boat. They practically swam on my back to the boat several metres off the shore. The soldiers threw away their guns and fled with us." - Humanitarian fears - Many of those who escaped made it to islands on Lake Chad. Chief Shuwaram said about 1,000 people, including the four soldiers spent three days on the Lake. The panicked mass evacuation split families and has increased pressure on already over-stretched local authorities in the border areas of neighbouring Chad, Niger and Cameroon. "I don't know where my six-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter are. We lost them in the confusion as we tried to flee Baga," said Shuwaram. "They were separated from the family and we don't know if they're alive or dead," said Shuwaram. With Boko Haram still holding Baga, hundreds of people are still stranded on the islands, exposed to the cold seasonal wind, the Harmattan, and without food. "There are now 15,500 people from Baga sheltering in five villages here in Chad. They are here in Dubuwa, Kangallam, Kaywa, Tetewa and Kilbuwa. "We are being taken care of by Chadian authorities but our number is huge. The food we get is inadequate".
Ohio State football revelers set fires
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State football fans took to the streets after their team's championship victory early Tuesday, yelling and screaming in delight, setting nearly 90 fires and tearing down an Ohio Stadium goal post. Police made a handful of arrests after using tear gas and pepper spray to disperse crowds of Ohio State University students and other fans following the Buckeyes' win. Officers on foot, on horses and in cruisers patrolled the main drag through campus after midnight, when revelers spilled out of nearby bars to celebrate the football team's 42-20 win over the University of Oregon in Dallas. Thousands of fans chanting "Let us in!" converged on the Ohio State football stadium, where police used tear gas to turn them away. Most headed back to the bar area, where cruisers lined the street and officers limited pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Fans tore down a temporary goal post used for high school games on the south end of the Ohio Stadium field, university spokesman Dan Hedman said. University police responded to various places in and around campus, including Ohio Stadium, the university's Mirror Lake, a popular student gathering spot, and the neighborhood north of campus. Courtney Olesh, a 19-year-old economics and finance major from Kent, witnessed the early morning scenes on campus. "There was like a fog, because there was so much tear gas being used," Olesh said. The 89 fires reported to the Columbus Fire Department involved trash bins, Dumpsters and couches. The fire department said it responded to three reports of people with injuries in the campus area. Some police officers used pepper spray to clear an estimated 5,000 revelers from the streets, while canisters of tear gas also were deployed. The crowds began going home within about two hours. Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs said officers tried to use as little force as possible to control those celebrating. She said repeated requests for people to clear the streets were ignored and fire trucks couldn't get through the crowds to respond to fires. She said the energy level of the crowd increased as the number of people grew. "It was getting amped up," Jacobs said. "What we know is that when crowds start to behave that way that bad things can happen." WCMH-TV, showing images of revelers burning a couch, reported that police arrested a handful of students, who could face criminal and university charges. Gunfire in the campus area after the game was reported by police dispatchers, with no reports of injuries, the Columbus Dispatch said. No problems were reported in Oregon.

Voices from the West Bank
In response to last year's Gaza conflict, the Israeli government announced the construction of further settlements in the West Bank — a move condemned by the international community for escalating tensions that were already highly fraught. The expansion of the settlements has consumed privately owned Palestinian land, causing the destruction of Palestinian homes, produce, and livelihoods. Despite Israeli settlements taking up only one percent of land in the West Bank, they now exert control over 42 percent, with settlement boundaries often 10 times larger than the settlements themselves. VICE News traveled to the West Bank to speak to displaced Palestinians and activists who are trying desperately to address the grievances that boiled over with such horrific consequences in 2014.

Mark Wahlberg's Pardon
BOSTON (AP) — A former state prosecutor who secured a civil rights injunction against a young Mark Wahlberg after he hurled rocks and racial epithets at black schoolchildren says he shouldn't be pardoned for attacks on two Asian men two years later. Judith Beals, a former Massachusetts assistant attorney general, said Tuesday she believes in "forgiveness and reconciliation" but Wahlberg's request should be denied because he hasn't acknowledged the racial element of his crimes in documents he filed with the state last November. "That acknowledgement of the crime and that facing of history is absolutely critical in the issuing of a pardon," she said. Wahlberg, who became a rapper and then an A-list actor nominated for an Oscar, acknowledged in his pardon application that he was high on marijuana and drugs at the time. He said he's dedicated himself to becoming a better person as an adult. "I've been looking for redemption (since) the day I woke up and realized that I done some horrific things and was on a path of self-destruction, as well as causing a lot of people harm," Wahlberg, 43, said in a December interview. "When I decided to go and petition for a pardon, it wasn't based on the things I accomplished in my career. It's been the things I've been able to do in my personal life: giving back to the community and helping kids, especially inner-city kids and at-risk youth and kids growing up in that same situation." Wahlberg wants to be officially cleared of a 1988 incident in which he hit a Vietnamese man in the head with a wooden stick while trying to steal alcohol from a convenience store. Wahlberg, then 16, punched another Vietnamese man in the face while trying to avoid police. He ended up being convicted as an adult of assault and other charges and was sentenced to three months in jail. He was released after about 45 days. Beals said what made Wahlberg's 1988 crimes unique was that, just two years earlier, he had been issued a court order triggering criminal charges in the event he committed another hate crime. According to court filings in that 1986 case, which Beals prosecuted, Wahlberg and two white friends chased three black siblings in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, throwing rocks and yelling racial epithets. The following day, Wahlberg and a larger group of white friends harassed a group of mostly black fourth-graders until an ambulance driver intervened. Beals argued that Wahlberg's status and wealth should not place him in a better position than others to erase his misdeeds. She also suggested hate crimes should be held to a higher standard. Representatives for Wahlberg, whose movies include "Boogie Nights" and "Lone Survivor," didn't return messages seeking comment Tuesday. The state parole board has to hold a hearing on the request by Wahlberg and send a recommendation to the governor, who decides whether to issue a pardon. Final say then rests with the Governor's Council, an elected body. Governors generally don't make pardon decisions until they're leaving office. Former Gov. Deval Patrick, a Democrat, issued just four in the final days of his eight-year tenure. His predecessor, Mitt Romney, a Republican, never issued one. Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, took office this month.
Chipotle suspends pork sales
(Reuters) - Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc said it would suspend pork sales at about a third of its U.S. restaurants, following a routine audit that revealed one of its suppliers was not complying with its animal-welfare standards. The inspection of the undisclosed supplier exposed some inconsistencies in protocol, communications director Chris Arnold said. Suppliers must raise pigs with access to the outdoors or in deeply bedded barns to improve their comfort. They cannot use antibiotics. "We could fill that shortfall with conventionally raised pork, but the animal welfare standards fall well short of our requirements, and (we) simply aren't willing to make that compromise." Chipotle will not serve "carnitas" at some of these restaurants, rather than use conventionally raised pork, said Arnold. Instead, the burrito seller is looking at a host of options to address the shortfall, including procuring additional pork from existing suppliers or finding more suppliers. Meanwhile, Chipotle could resume its relationship with the suspended supplier, if they become compliant with the company's standards, he added. Denver-based Chipotle, known for serving antibiotic-free meat and organic produce, posted third-quarter same-store sales growth of nearly 20 percent.
