i looked it up:
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 14 (UPI) -- A cameraman shooting B-roll outside a Florida Walmart for a local news station captured the moment a suspect who overdosed on heroin escaped from an ambulance.

Police said the man had been found unconscious from a suspected heroin overdose in the Walmart's bathroom and had been given a dose of Narcan, a drug designed to counter the effects of opioid overdose.

Law's video shows the man initially seeming calm on the stretcher, but when paramedics prepare to load him into the ambulance he throws off the strap holding him in place and makes a run for it.

Police said they searched the area for the man, but were unable to locate him. It was unclear whether police intended to charge him with a crime.

Life is short and sex-centered for the genus Antechinus. Six months after they’re born, the small, carnivorous marsupials reach adulthood. For five more months, they gain weight that they’ll burn off having sex, says mammalogist Andrew Baker of Australia’s Queensland University of Technology. Then the animals enter “a one- to three-week period where they spend all their time mating.” Males fight over females, promiscuous mating ensues, and a single coupling can last 14 hours. Small wonder, as Baker observes, that “both sexes become really stressed.”

As a human does when stressed, an Antechinus produces the hormone cortisol—useful in small amounts but poisonous in large ones. Antechinus males “also have all this testosterone coursing through them from trying to get girls,” Baker says, and the testosterone keeps cortisol gushing when it should shut off. As the cortisol hits toxic levels, males’ immune and other systems fail, and they drop dead by their first birthday. The Antechinus population has been halved—until the females bear their annual litters of four to 14 jelly-bean-size young, which, six months later, will be adults.

A woman in Florida was left seriously shaken up after a flying turtle crashed through her car’s windshield.

Nicole Marie Bjanes was driving at 75 miles per hour on I-4 in Deltona on Monday when the reptile suddenly smashed through her front window, bounced off the passenger seat and landed on the dashboard.

“As soon as it hit the windshield, of course I was a little freaked out and hysterical,” Bjanes told ABC News.

She posted photographs of the aftermath to Facebook (above) soon after, and the images are now going viral.

Florida Highway Patrol officers confirmed that the turtle had been thrown airborne after being struck by another vehicle in front. Incredibly, Bjanes only suffered minor injuries and was treated for minor cuts by EMTs at the scene.

The turtle was unscathed and placed in a nearby pond, where it swam away.

so... Time Warner Cable...

i cancelled my service cause i moved again (to avoid Trump's hit squads) & i got a bill for the month after i cancelled and it still showed me as Autopay so i logged-in and cancelled that option then online chatted with Shradda N. who said everything was fine... i get an updated bill for less money but still not the zero it should be (and NO Autopay showing on bill anymore)... i online chatted with Neha S. and she said everything was fine, no $ owed... today (many days later), I see a charge being Autopayed on my bank acct (they don't actually make the charge til the bill due date)

i may have to murder many people, but for now am going with a strongly worded letter

this seems actually criminal to Autopay me when clearly that was cancelled as their own bill shows, beyond the typical legendarily bad customer service

A couple of confused Yellowstone tourists happened upon a bison calf Monday and, thinking it appeared to be catching a chill, reportedly loaded it into their SUV and drove it to a ranger station.

“They were demanding to speak with a ranger,” witness Karen Richardson told EastIdahoNews.com. “They were seriously worried that the calf was freezing and dying.”

The father and son duo, who said they were from another country, were ticketed when park law enforcement was called.

Yellowstone rules clearly warn visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from the park's wild animals.

Officials then followed the visitors back to the spot where they said they picked the bison up and it was released.

That sounds nice and dangerous :D .. also kind of breaking Yellowstone's "let nature do nature" Prime Directive

"A cameraman shooting B-roll outside" ... so cool :D .. saw an opportunity and went out to find more heroin ;p

Antechinus males need to learn moderation ;p

"flying turtle crashed through her car’s windshield." --- real life Mario Kart!! :D :D

"the difference between males & females" ... have to wonder if that was for fun or just crazed aggression :)

"or just a future typical person... people are terrible :p" +1 Deer :D

...
"this seems actually criminal to Autopay me when clearly that was cancelled as their own bill shows, beyond the typical legendarily bad customer service"

Is it through your bank or credit card? If card, I'd probably just update my card number. If Bank, I'd probably move again, change identities, burn off fingerprints, etc. ;p

..
"For four years the chemical engineering student quite literally shopped until she dropped"

Okay, when I read that I assumed that she *died* from shopping, so.. another bad use of "literally"...

ex) a person (Phares) from Trump's foreign policy team said Trump doesn't really mean he wants to use torture... whereas Trump could not be more explicit that he wants to use torture (uses the word, says it works, says wants 'a lot worse than waterboarding', wants to be on almost level playing field w/ ISIS, etc)

Shia LaBeouf’s Latest ‘Art Project’ Involves A Very Slight Chance Of Seeing Him Get Murdered

Shia, along with his pals Rönkkö and Turner, are hitchhiking around America as a part of his new project #TAKEMEANYWHERE.

For 30 days the three of them are posting their coordinates and anyone who finds them can pick them up and drive them anywhere they want.
