MSNBC:"Confederate heritage groups got excited when Gov. Bob Rileys dropped a paragraph, saying slavery was the cause of the Civil War. It contained a paragraph that says. Our recognition of Confederate history also recognizes that slavery was one of the causes of the war, an issue in the war, was ended by the war, and slavery is hereby condemned. Confederate heritage organizations said they had complained to the governor that the paragraph was historically incorrect. It leaves the impression that slavery was the total cause of the war and thats untrue. It was more about tariffs and taxes, said chief of Alabama Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. How does someone not see that kind of mistake made in a statement, their speaking? Looks like he shot his next Election down-the toilet."

Man In Elevator 3 days
MSNBC:"Ming Kuang Chen was written off after vanishing while making a delivery at a high-rise apartment building. As police conducted a massive search and days passed, speculation grew that the 35-year-old was the victim of armed bandits. But more than three days later, the deliveryman emerged with a mean thirst and a tale of survival: He had been stuck by himself in an elevator the whole time, without food or water. He was pulled out at about 5 a.m. Tuesday, 80 hours later by firefighters. He had no food with him in the elevator, having delivered his last meal. Authorities conducted a door-to-door canvass of the apartment complex over the weekend looking for Chen, were questioning why police officers and the building’s private security force found no sign of Chen, who claimed he had repeatedly cried out and pushed an alarm button in the elevator. I tried to knock (down) the door and kept screaming for help, but no response,Chen said. I just kept sleeping because I don’t know what else to do.Chen was last seen about 8:30 p.m. Friday after making three deliveries at the same apartment complex in the neighborhood. Told police that he had entered the elevator on the 32nd floor of a 38-story building when it plunged down and became stuck between the third and fourth floor. An investigation on Tuesday determined that the security camera and alarm system in the elevator were working. But security officers told police they didn’t hear or see Chen until responding to his calls early Tuesday. Chen said his pleas using the intercom were answered, but that the language barrier was too great. Even maintenance workers who were called to check out the disabled elevator on Monday missed Chen, police said. I Have some concerns with this, If that many people claimed to be looking for him. Yet no one noticed the elevator wasn't working?"
Breastfeeding two tiger Really!
Yangon Zoo:" A woman in Myanmar has volunteered to breastfeed a pair of endangered Bengal tiger cubs born at the Yangon zoo and separated from their aggressive mother. The two week-old cubs, a male and a female, were taken from their mother Noah Noah after she killed the third cub in her litter, prompting veterinarians to engage in alternative childcare, Hla Htay, the a Human-mother, who was breast feeding her own child, offered her services after a hostile Bengal tiger killed one of her cubs. The two surviving cubs, a male and a female, were removed from their mother and now receive feedings from Htay four times a day. I felt sorry for them so I decided to feed them before their teeth grow, she said. The cubs were the first born at the zoo in 16 years. The Bengal tiger, Panthera tigris, is listed as endangered on the World Conservation Union's red list, with the global population estimated at fewer than 2,500. I didn't know it was possible for a different species to do this, what do you think of this, a women breastfeeding tiger cubs?"
