[Emirates 24/7] A woman who killed her newlywed husband and chopped and cooked his body parts over in 1991 is seeking release from a Caliphornia prison.
Omaima Nelson, an Egyptian-born former model and nanny, is set to appear before parole commissioners on Wednesday at the Central Caliphornia Women's Facility in Chowchilla where she has been serving a life sentence.
Nelson was convicted of murdering her 56-year-old husband William Nelson in a grisly killing that authorities likened to the fictional slayings of Hannibal Lecter.
Prosecutors said the then-23-year-old killed Nelson and likely plotted to steal from him as she had done with other middle-aged men she had seduced in the past. Authorities said she tied up her husband of less than a month, killed him and dismembered the body, churning his parts through a garbage disposal that neighbours said ran nonstop in the hours after the murder.
Authorities found some of Nelson's body parts stuffed in garbage bags and mixed with leftover turkey. His hands had been fried in oil and his head boiled and stuffed in freezer, said Randy Pawloski, a senior deputy district attorney in Orange County who prosecuted the case and will argue against her release.
"She's tremendously dangerous," said Pawloski, adding that Nelson sought help from two different boyfriends to try to remove her husband's teeth and dispose of his remains to cover her tracks.
During the highly publicised trial, Nelson took the stand and said she stabbed her husband -- a former pilot and convicted drug smuggler -- with scissors while he sexually assaulted her. A psychiatrist testified that she confessed to cooking her husband's ribs barbecue-style and tasting them but later denied engaging in cannibalism. He said he believed she was psychotic when she killed Nelson.
Defense attorney Thomas Mooney argued his client was circumcised as a child growing up in a squalid section of Cairo, which made sex extremely painful, and was repeatedly raped and abused by her husband in the weeks after the couple wed.
Jurors found Nelson not guilty of first-degree murder, citing insufficient evidence of premeditation, but convicted her of second-degree murder. They also found Nelson guilty of assaulting a former boyfriend with a gun.
She is serving a prison sentence of 25 years to life.
Nelson appealed but lost in 1995. In 2006, she sought parole claiming she had found salvation as a born-again Christian and married an older man, who has since died. But parole was denied by commissioners who found her unpredictable and a serious threat to public safety.
Nelson told the parole board she had been living in the fast lane, hopping from man to man and drinking and using drugs. She told a prison-appointed psychologist that she had thought about killing Nelson before carrying out the murder.
"I felt that I was doing the right thing by exercising this judgment as I was killing him," she said during her 2006 parole hearing. "I'm not denying that I did what I did and I'm very sorry for the ... family..."
Terrence Scott, who represented Nelson on appeal, said he doubted she would be released except perhaps to a mental institution. He said she had chopped up her husband in an effort to avoid meeting him in the afterlife in accordance with Egyptian mythology.
Mooney, who represented Nelson during her trial, said prisoners serving life sentences aren't often released but hoped she might be.
"It was a question not of whodunit but what is it," Mooney said this week. "Based on the totality of the circumstances, the fact I think she was abused, and killed in response to that, she should get paroled."

Pollyandrew: I'm thinking Atkins diet. If all you eat is meat and fat, you'll get skinny as a rail. However, if you get into the "carb werewolf" mode, nobody better get between you and the dessert cart.
Kenneth H. Dahlberg (1917- October 4, 2011) was an American businessman and highly decorated World War II fighter ace.
He was drafted into the army in 1941 and originally desired to become a cook.
He eventually became an aviation cadet in the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), where one of his instructors was future Senator Barry Goldwater.
After training, Dahlberg flew the P-47 Thunderbolt and P-51 Mustang with the USAAF 353rd Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group Ninth Air Force in Europe.
As a fighter ace, Dahlberg was credited with 14-1/2 aerial victories.
He received numerous awards and decorations, including the Distinguished Service Cross for leading a flight of 16 P-47 Thunderbolts (354th) against an attack of 70 German Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters on December 19, 1944.
Dahlberg shot down four enemy planes that day. Dahlberg was shot down three times, the last on February 14, 1945 near Bitburg, and became a Prisoner of War for the final three months of the war. Continuing his military service after the war, Dahlberg served with the Minnesota Air National Guard until 1951.

It has long bugged the heck out of AAC and later USAF that they have never been able to profile who will make a good pilot until they are in the air fighting with the enemy.
Pilots like Joe Foss, who almost washed out of flight school because he was such a poor student, Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, and his disciplinary disasters flying circus, and several others were the just as likely as some golden boy to become aces.
This applies even today, not just to fixed wing aircraft, but to gunship pilots as well.

Douglas Bader crashed a Spitfire in training because he forgot to take the prop out of coarse pitch, and got a very stern official "please don't do that again" for his troubles.

I just don't think a simulator can do it, for the same reason that a person can't be trained to be a superior concert pianist. Many will be adequate, even gifted, but it is those precious few that just leave everyone in amazement.
A simulator might "prove" an ace in a 'turkey shoot' environment, but that is not real life. Some of these WWII pilots had close to a sixth sense in locating enemy planes and ships, hitting them at *just* the right direction, and hitting their targets at the worst possible places for damage. It was almost uncanny.
John S. Thach, inventor of the "Thatch Weave", invented brand new tactics to give himself a decided advantage over his enemy, but he was never more than a "good" pilot.
Somebody like Joe Foss, however, just couldn't seem to fly without some Japanese pilot ending up in his cross hairs.

Johnny Johnson of the RAF, "Screwball" Beurling RAF/RCAF, Don Blakeslee USAAF, many others of note, all had great SA - Situational Awareness. Johnson and Beurling were great shots, Blakeslee not so much . . . . . but they ALL had great SA.

I've been told by a senior fighter pilot who's spent time flying UAVs that it's a totally different experience. Pilots fly in part through kinesthetic experience as the plane moves, and that's totally missing from simulators or UAV screens. Some studies show that excellent pilots integrate sensory inputs into a dynamic 3 dimensional spatial reference system that most of us cannot approximate, much less master.
Interestingly, on average women and men tend to use different spatial systems in day to day life. For instance, in western cultures many men prefer an absolute "look down at the map" perspective and many women prefer a relative "from the perspective of the person moving" frame of reference. However, excellent female pilots use the same spatial reference system as that of excellent male pilots. It's linked to a degree of sensory processing and real time integration that's not common in the wider population.
[Emirates 24/7] A young karate enthusiast in Sharjah accidentally hanged himself with his own karate belt while imitating his favourite cartoon character, Spiderman. His parents had been away at work.
Daniel Baby, 11, tried to imitate a stunt by tying one end of the karate belt to the door and the other end as a noose around his neck, before jumping down from a chair. Sharjah Police is investigating the death and the boy's body is kept in police morgue and will be repatriated to India.
The sixth standard student of Delhi Private School, Sharjah, has been learning karate. The boy had several karate belts of different colours that he used at different stages of karate learning.
The only son of Baby Kuriakkose and Valsamma Joseph, hailing from Palarivattaom, Kerala, the boy adored cartoon characters. He made several paper cut-outs of Spiderman and other cartoon characters, that dominate his room.
His father is an accountant with a shipping company and his mother a nurse in Al Mawarid. The Indian family residing near Adnoc petrol station in Mysaloon area of Sharjah is grief-stricken. The boy's schoolmates are also saddened by the tragic accident.
The unfortunate accident happened on Sunday afternoon when his mother Valsamma was not at home. "Apparently, he hooked one end of the karate belt on his neck and the other end on top of the door, and jumped from a chair. The noose tightened and he could not release it. The boy's leg was touching the ground, but he remained motionless," said sources familiar with the accident. When his mother returned from work, the boy did not open the door and when she broke open the door with the help of neighbours, the boy was found trapped on his karate belt. Even though he was rushed to the hospital, he died.

I don't recall Spiderman ever using a noose around his neck in any of his maneuvers. I suspect that story is just 'cover' for the comfort of the family - though 11 is a bit young for either of the common 'situations' (suicide or s*xual experimentation.)

Gotta be suicide. There is a hell of a lot of it in the ummah, filled as it is with people desperate to be out of their situation, driven bonkers by all the inhibitions, restrictions, taboos, demands and lack of freedom.
Alvin Toffler, who published Future Shock in 1970, and The Third Wave a decade later, was very prescient in his predictions of the stress *westerners* encounter in a rapidly technologically evolving nation. Many, or even most of his predictions have come to pass.
However, he did not go into detail about the effect this would have on more culturally primitive people. As it turns out, what is hard for us is devastating for them, and the more primitive they are, the worse it is.
For example, by 2000, in effect, there are no longer any truly primitive peoples left. They were wiped out by just exposure to outsiders, even those with the best of intentions. In most cases they just abandoned what they had been for centuries or more.
And it works from the ground up. About every people who remained isolated in their culture up to about the beginnings of Islam are gone. Now comes the big bulge of Islamic peoples who must either modernize or become extinct. The Taliban, for example, are already dead, they just don't know it yet.
It would be interesting to rate different Islamic cultures today, based on their technological and cultural advancement. Put on a scale, you can pretty accurately predict who are next to lose their primitive identity.
And it's not just Muslims. This process affects everyone. And violently or peacefully, they must change or die out. Modernity is unforgiving.

Children do stupid things because they don't know better, qnd they get caught up in the moment. Accidental strangulation while playing unsupervised makes perfect sense. If was for that reason I did very creative things to the pull cords of the blinds -- still left in though all the daughters have gone off to university, and always was nearby when the girls played dress-up.
The world is facing the worst financial crisis since at least the 1930s if not ever, the Governor of the Bank of England said last night.
Sir Mervyn King was speaking after the decision by the Banks Monetary Policy Committee to put £75billion of newly created money into the economy in a desperate effort to stave off a new credit crisis and a UK recession.
Economists said the Banks decision to resume its quantitative easing [QE], or asset purchase programme, showed it was increasingly fearful for the economy, and predicted more such moves ahead.
Sir Mervyn said the Bank had been driven by growing signs of a global economic disaster.
This is the most serious financial crisis weve seen, at least since the 1930s, if not ever. Were having to deal with very unusual circumstances, but to act calmly to this and to do the right thing.
Announcing its decision, the Bank said that the eurozone debt crisis was creating severe strains in bank funding markets and financial markets.
[An Nahar] Russia on Wednesday announced the arrest of a Chinese national who was allegedly trying to secure secret documents on S-300 missile systems while posing as an official interpreter.
The Federal Security Service ... the successor to the KGB... (FSB) said the arrest was made on October 28 last year but did not explain why it had failed to report the incident.
The announcement was made just a week before Prime Minister Vladimir Putin ...Second President of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Because of constitutionally mandated term limits he is the current Prime Minister of Russia. His sock puppet, Dmitry Medvedev, was installed in the 2008 presidential elections. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law. During his eight years in office Russia's economy bounced back from crisis, seeing GDP increase, poverty decrease and average monthly salaries increase. During his presidency Putin passed into law a series of fundamental reforms, including a flat income tax of 13%, a reduced profits tax, and new land and legal codes. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile... begins a two-day state visit to Beijing aimed at reaffirming the neighbors' joint diplomatic clout and economic importance.
The FSB domestic security service identified the man as Tong Shengyong and said his case had been forwarded by prosecutors to the Moscow City Court on Tuesday.
"The investigation established that the Chinese national (was) working on assignment from the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China," FSB said in a statement.
It said the man had posed as an interpreter for "official delegations" and tried to purchase his data from Russian nationals. The espionage charge carries a prison sentence of 10 to 20 years.
The S-300 system is an older version of Russian surface-to-air missiles that Moscow has produced since the Soviet era and has since replaced with the more modern S-400.
China has a decades-long history of military ties with Russia and is one of its largest arms purchasers alongside India.
But Beijing has more recently launched the development of its own missile systems similar to those it used to purchase from Moscow.
Putin will in a week visit Beijing for two days for talks with counterpart Wen Jiabao ...Wen has a professional background in geology and engineering. Unlike most American politicians, he actually knows things. ... and President Hu Jintao ...Hu has been involved in the Communist party bureaucracy for most of his adult life, meaning his viewpoint has a lot more theory than it does practice. He espouses a Harmonious Society approach, suggesting everybody should play nice or they'll be shot... in his first foreign trip since he announced plans to return next year to the Kremlin post he has already held in 2000-2008.
China and Russia have enjoyed close diplomatic and trade relations in the past decade while seeking to put behind them the border and other disputes that simmered in the Soviet era.
The two this week jointly vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the Syria crackdown and share a deep-seated suspicion of foreign interference in their internal affairs.
China's growing reliance on its own weapons systems is one area hurting Russia directly as it struggles to keep its Soviet-era clients despite its waning list of modern technology.
The Chinese embassy in Moscow could not be reached for comment but analysts said they found the case mystifying because it's a delayed announcement and reference to old weapons.
"The S-300s have been delivered to different countries including China," said Alexander Konovalov of the Institute of Strategic Assessment.
"This is not how it usually happens," he added in reference to the delayed announcement.
The FSB statement said the alleged spy was also trying to secure system repair manuals that apparently were not a part of the Chinese arms purchase contract.

Some INDIA MIL BLOGGERS are interpreting this incident as CHINA BEING UNABLE TO "REVERSE ENGINEER" OR DETERMINE NEW RUSSIAN TECH IMPROVEMENTS TO THE S-300.

That is an interesting tidbit. Holding back details on the internals to prevent the ChiComs from reverse engineering the whole mess? Or just wanting that lucrative maintenance contract business like when you buy a mouse pad at Best Buy?
#4
The Chinese have already reverse engineered the S-300 as the HQ-9. I guess their knowledge on how to fix them at the factory level when something breaks is lacking. It doesn't help the Chinese push to export these clones when the advice is to "buy a new one" when something breaks.

In an effort to promote the Catalan language, Catalonian pro-independence parties have traditionally favored immigration from non-Spanish-speaking countries, especially from Arabic-speaking Muslim countries, in the belief that these people would speak Catalan rather than Spanish.
How's that working out for you?
#2
"Muslims should vote for pro-independence parties, as they need our votes. But what they do not know is that, when they allow us to vote, we will all vote for Islamic parties because we do not believe in left and right. This will make us win local councils and as we begin to accumulate power in the Catalan autonomous region, Islam will begin to be implemented," Houzi said.
There's a lesson to be learned in this. We may already be too late.
#5
Catalonia has long been a bastion of Spanish leftism, mostly in rejection of Madrid. But as with leftists in other parts of Europe who extended open greetings to Muslims, they are now seeing the results of those policies.
#7
Spain has been getting guest workers from Latin
America, rjschwarz. Then they tried to bribe them with q free trip home when the economy turned south. Some took the ride, others stayed and went in the dole,
That's inaccurate. In fact, immigration was either foisted on the Catalans by Madrid or strongly encouraged by the central government precisely
In fact, the Catalans DON'T WANT the Moslems in particular precisely because they don't integrate and cause all sorts of problems. And that's the dilemma: immigration isn't part of the Generalitat's powers but an exclusive one by teh Madrid government.
Riiight, the Islamists think they'll be able to implement shar'ia in Catalunya just when the economy is disintergrating and the societial tensions are at an all time high. More like the Moslems had better behave.
#10
The problem for the Spanish with getting the trained and skilled people from Latin America is that it is just as easy and convenient to go to Miami as it is to go to Spain. And Florida is more pro-business, and until Zero took office, so was the US government compared to the Spanish Socialists.

Mark Steyn has written about how politics in Europe would change as the Islamic population reachs 10% and more. This stuff is right down that alley, I wonder if he has heard of this yet?
But Turkeys keep crashing.
No Mr. Carlson, not the birds ; Turkeys drones.
In an attempt to bolster its leadership role in the Arab world, Turkey has recently done almost everything it could to alienate Israel, to the extent that neither currently has an ambassador in the others country. Turkey also decided to cut off all government-based business deals with Israel ending a formerly substantial trade in military equipment, including, according to Defense News, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); according to the publication, Turkey purchased 10 Heron UAVs from Israel Aircraft Industries in 2010. No more such purchases are likely.
But as relations continued to worsen with Israel and as Turkey decided that the time was ripe for it to take a regional leadership role Ankara has decided to produce as many of its own weapons as possible, including UAVs. So Turkey, according to Defense News, made a strategic decision to ground its Israeli UAVs and produce its own version of the pilotless patrol planes. And following the governments directive, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) promptly designed and produced a home-grown Turkish UAV the Anka, which the government hoped would fulfill Turkeys needs for UAVs; perhaps Ankara would even be able to develop an industry around the craft.
Only one problem, though: So far, every prototype Anka that TAI has produced has crashed.
#2
It is my understanding that Turkey did not choose to ground its Israeli UAVs, but rather that they needed Israeli crews to fly them, and Israeli crews to keep them flyable. It may not be only Turkish engineering which is failing there.
#4
You can see the Anka lineage in the General Atomics GNAT which Turkey operates. What the Turks have tried to do is scale the GNAT tech up to the MQ-1C Warrior's size using Turkish sensors and w/o the satellite dish in the nose. Explains that ridiculous nose landing gear as they tried to adhere to the Warrior's dimensions and still keep a similar center of gravity.
#5
This smells just like Iran's latest "super fighter", that is a cut and paste job starting with an F-5 and adding in a V-tail and canards, with wider wings to carry more fuel. It has only ever been shown in a static display, because word is every time someone tries taxiing it on a runway, the nose gear collapses.
#6
Turkey is much more sophisticated than Iran. They do produce their own munitions and license produce sophisticated weapons like the F-16. Still Turkey likes to license produce near copies of other country's weapons and passes them off as their own. Bayraktar UAV
[Dawn] LAHORE: Two young women were 'murdered' allegedly by their in-laws over domestic affairs in different incidents here on Tuesday.
Kahna police said 23-year-old Rizwana Anwer of Kot Radha Kishan, Kasur, was poisoned to death by her husband Muhammad Shafique and others in Ward No 4.
Police investigation showed that Rizwana was married off to Shafiq a few months ago. The couple had sour relations.
Rizwana was shifted to Lahore General Hospital in an unconscious state by her in-laws a couple of days ago where doctors suspected that the victim took some poisonous substance.
After Rizwana died on Tuesday her father Muhammad Anwar alleged that his daughter was poisoned to death by her husband, mother-in-law Perveen Bibi, sister-in-law Iqra, father-in-law Riaz and husband's cousin Hassan following strained domestic relations.
Police shifted the body for an appointment with Dr. Quincy and registered a murder case against the suspects who managed their escape.
Shahdara Town police said 22-year-old Iqra Azhar was strangled by her in-laws over a property dispute in Rasool Park, Saggian.
Police said Iqra of Shahdara was married off to her cousin Tasawar Shah two years ago.
On Tuesday, Tasawar and his family contacted Iqra's father Azhar Shah in small hours and told him that she had did away with himself by hanging herself with a ceiling fan.
Police said the victim's family alleged that she was killed by her in-laws whereas Iqra's in-laws claimed that she had did away with himself.
They said a case would be registered after the autopsy report.
According to the victim's family, Iqra during her last visit complained that she was severely thrashed by her husband who demanded a 10-marla plot from his in-laws.
Iqra told her mother that she was facing extreme pressure and might be killed by her husband and in-laws.
A police investigator said the evidence collected from scene of the crime and forensic examination of the victim's body initially suggested that she was killed.

[Dawn] In Pakistain, there is a need to develop human resources and promote space sciences education, with a focus on the youth, to harness the many benefits that come from having a well-developed space programme.
Prof Dr Muhammad Qaisar, vice chancellor of the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, said this while speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of World Space Week 2011, held at the headquarters of the Pakistain Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission here on Tuesday.
"In order to draw optimum benefit [from] space and related technologies, there is a strong need to develop human resources, create awareness, impart education and motivate the youth to conceive and develop space applications to serve humanity," he said.
It was "our good fortune" to be part of the WSW, which is observed by over 50 countries worldwide, said Dr Qaisar, adding that having the edge in science and technology determined a nation`s place in the world.
He said space offers immense opportunities in fields such as communications, astronomy, environmental monitoring as well as predicting natural disasters. He added that very few countries had established supremacy in space exploration and Pakistain needed to focus on this area.
He said seminars and workshops highlighting the space sciences should be held year-round and not be limited to Space Week. He suggested a seminar on space-related topics should be held at least once a month and offered to host the first such event on the Fuuast premises.
Acting chairman of Suparco Dr Sajid Mirza delivered the welcome address.
He said space had been a mystery as man has been gazing at the stars for thousands of years. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... with the launch of Sputnik I on Oct 4, 1957 the way for human exploration of space had opened up and now manned spaceflight had become routine.
He described the WSW as "the manifestation of the recognition and realisation of human efforts in the domain of space exploration and its impact on humanity". Dr Mirza said the Government of Pakistain had realised the importance of space exploration early and launched Rehbar I, the nation`s first rocket, in 1962 from Sonmiani. At the time Pakistain was the third country in Asia and the 10th in the world to launch such a craft. He added that Suparco planned to launch a remote-sensing satellite in the next few years.
The inaugural ceremony was followed by the departure of a `space education bus`, which is a custom-built vehicle that will tour the interior of Sindh for the next few days visiting schools to create awareness of space through using multi-media presentations and lectures. A seminar on `50 years of human spaceflight` was also organised, in which experts from Suparco spoke on different topics related to space sciences.

Top state pols have received emails threatening violence unless an expiring tax on millionaires is kept.
"Hey King Andrew and friends! It's time to tax the millionaires," the email begins, presumably referring to Gov. Cuomo.
The subject is "Time to kill the wealthy." It's the second time since April a threatening email has been sent to state leaders with the subject line "Time to kill."
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (R-Long Island) were among a number of targeted lawmakers. A spokesman for Gov. Cuomo couldn't immediately say whether his boss got one.
State police are investigating.
Referring to Cuomo's recent announcement that five high-tech companies were investing in upstate New York, the email talks of shooting up and firebombing Albany-area upscale restaurants, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus, and even the homes of tech employees.
The email demands state leaders "stop shoveling wealth from the lower 99% into the top 1%" and slams the no new taxes pledge. It calls on them to spread the wealth and to start by raising the tax rate on New York's millionaires.
A tax surcharge on the rich is set to expire at the end of the year. While Assembly and Senate Democrats have argued for the tax, Cuomo and Senate Republicans blocked its renewal.
"You're going to do it, or we are going to sow the kind of chaos you are unequipped to deal with," the email warns. Alinsky...Cloward-Piven...Obumble

I suggest Sedalia, Missouri for the new National Stock Exchange. It is centrally located in the country, it has access to several major fiber optic transfer centers, the land is cheap, and the weather is no worse than what New Yorkers are already used to. Plus, the taxes are MUCH lower and the people are friendlier.

This is Obama's world. Where is big Sis. Where are the media. This is only the beginning. This is the only thing they can do. They can't fix anything.

I notice that this e-mail sending nutcase uses the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd's terminology. "stop shoveling wealth from the lower 99% into the top 1%"
Therefore he might be part of that Leftist group of morons, a fellow traveller, or simply "inspired" by them. We can expect more threats of violence and even the real thing in the coming months. With big name Dems, including Obama, praising these clowns some of them might feel justified in doing serious violence, and it just may rebound on the Dems.
