Whitey Bulger
All you Herst heads will dig this (Whitey is the president of UMASS' brother):
Whitey Bulger has found himself at the center of another “mandatory kill,” though this one was ordered by a photo agency seeking to delete an image from their archives. The alert was prompted by the F.B.I.’s admission that they misidentified a German couple vacationing in Sicily as the reputed Boston crime boss and his girlfriend, Catherine Greig.
Despite no apparent problems with the law, the couple somehow evaded the F.B.I.’s global manhunt for months. Indeed, they delivered themselves to the authorities after seeing themselves on Aktenzeichen XY … ungelöst, a German show about fugitives that preceded “America’s Most Wanted.”
The online wanted poster.Mr. Bulger, 77, is wanted for 18 counts of murder and other charges, has a $1,000,000 bounty on his head and the expectation that he is “armed and extremely dangerous,” according to the F.B.I.’s news release (pdf).
Doubts about the image surfaced immediately after it was unveiled with great fanfare last September. “This new picture doesn’t look anything like Whitey Bulger,” a blogger at Boston Magazine wrote. “This guy had more hair on his head than Bulger did in ‘94.”

Lundi
sometimes pride hurts.
you get to a point where you could put up a wall.
but you look around and realize it's not worth it to play games.
too much invested to not say it straight and open yourself to examination.
but it's better than furthering the silence.

Microwave
IDAHO - An Idaho man who thought he bore the 'mark of the beast' cut off his own hand with a circular saw, AP reports.
The man, in his 20s, then cooked the severed hand in a microwave oven before calling police.
He is now in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Centre, the news agency reported.
Staff would not comment on whether the hand was reattached.
