Questions over sex change snag US divorce case
Jan 1st 2013, 00:40

PHOENIX — An Arizona man who garnered widespread media attention for giving birth to three children after having a sex-change operation has hit a snag in his divorce proceedings that could prevent him from having his marriage legally dissolved. A judge is questioning whether the state's same-sex marriage ban bars him from ending Thomas and Nancy Beatie's union — or even recognizing its validity. Thomas Beatie was born a woman and underwent a sex change but retained female reproductive organs and gave birth to three children. Thomas and Nancy Beatie are eager to end their nine-year marriage, but their divorce plans stalled when Maricopa County Family Court Judge Douglas ...

US regulators approve new tuberculosis drug
Jan 1st 2013, 00:47

WASHINGTON - US health regulators said Monday they had licensed a new treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis -- the first such federal approval aimed at tackling the deadly disease in 40 years. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it was approving the drug, named Sirturo, as an alternative treatment for adults suffering from TB when two more powerful medications that are available, isoniazid and rifampicin, do not work. But the regulator cautioned that the new drug should be used sparingly. "Sirturo provides much-needed treatment for patients who have don't have other therapeutic options available," announced Edward Cox of the Office of Antimicrobial Products in t...

Health issues cloud end of Clinton's reign
Jan 1st 2013, 00:52

WASHINGTON - Four years ago Hillary Clinton was welcomed with resounding cheers by hundreds of staff at the State Department as, on her first day as the top US diplomat, she declared "a new era for America." After almost a million miles traveled, 112 countries visited and some 400 days spent on a plane, Clinton is poised to step down as secretary of state, basking in the praise of world leaders for having restored US standing. So it has been surprising that this most-visible of politicians, who has spent decades courting the limelight, has not been seen in public for several weeks because of a series of health scares. Just as Clinton was expected to return to work this week,...

N. Korea's Kim wants better living standards, arms
Jan 1st 2013, 01:06

PYONGYANG — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says his people must pursue economic improvement with the same urgency scientists put into the launch of a long-range rocket last month. Kim said in a speech Tuesday that boosting living standards is the new year's most important task. But he's also calling for the development of more advanced weapons. North Korea struggles to grow enough food for its 24 million people. Last year saw plunging inter-Korean ties, the collapse of a U.S.-North Korean food-aid-for-nuclear-freeze deal and two North Korean long-range rocket launches that Washington and others called covers for banned ballistic missile tests. Kim took over after h...

Suspect in NYC subway death arrested before
Jan 1st 2013, 01:16

NEW YORK — The family of a woman accused of shoving an Indian man to his death in front of a subway train called police several times in the past five years because she had not been taking prescribed medication and she was difficult to deal with, authorities said Monday. Erika Menendez, 31, was being held without bail on a murder charge in the death of Sunando Sen. She told police she pushed the 46-year-old India native because she thought he was Muslim, and she hates them, according to prosecutors. They'd never met before she suddenly shoved him off the subway platform, because she "thought it would be cool," prosecutors said. The victim was Hindu, not Muslim. It wasn't ...

SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un called Tuesday for efforts to ease cross-border tensions with the South by following through on previous joint declarations signed by the two Koreas. "An important issue in putting an end to the division of the country and achieving its reunification is to remove confrontation between the North and the South," Kim said in his New Year's message, carried by state media....

There you have it. The following statement is straight from the horse's mouth. Bigfoot, according to the good doctor, is real. Dr. Melba Ketchum recently sent out a press release claiming to have scientific proof of Bigfoot. However, she has yet to reveal the names of the PhDs or universities involved in her study. All we have are her words. Earlier today, when asked upfront whether Bigfoot is real or not, Ketchum answered without hesitation: "Yes, it is real."

Do you believe in Zombies? What about Zombie Bigfoots? Yes? No? Maybe Finding Bigfoot's latest episode in Australia will change your mind if you don't believe in Zombies or Zombie Bigfoots. Last night, the team investigated a Yowie report by a guy named Mark. Mark told the tale of finding 8 goats in trees near his house. According to Mark's story, the goats all had their guts and brains taken out and the cuts all appeared to have been made using a sharp tool-- perhaps a sharp rock.

Reports: Russia sends another naval ship to Syria

Russian news agencies say the navy is sending another ship to the Syrian port of Tartus, where Russia has a naval base.

The reports Sunday by the ITAR-Tass and Interfax news agency cited an unidentified official in the military general staff as saying the Novocherkassk, a large landing ship, has set sail from the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk. The ship is expected to arrive in the Tartus area in early January.

The reports gave no information on the ship's intent. But Russian diplomats have said that Moscow is preparing a plan to evacuate thousands of Russians from Syria if necessary. The Defense Ministry announced two weeks ago that several ships were being dispatched to the Mediterranean.

Editor's Note: This is a post by Bigfoot Evidence contributor, Damian Bravo. You can join his Facebook group, Sasquatch Lives? or follow him on Twitter @Sasquatchlives1.

While looking at videos on YouTube from around the world, of possible Bigfoot, Yeti or Yowie sightings I came across this interesting video posted by YouTube user, TheComradeRussia, back on Aug 3, 2011. One person commented that the event took place in the area of Murmansk Russia. It's hard to tell from what happening in the video and it's unclear whether it's a practical joke being played since I do not know Russian. It's possible that these three comrades had the scare of their life during this possible sighting of a Yeti or Wildman. The cameraman was focusing on the two other talking and it seems only when the figure peeked over the fence did they realize something was not right about it, but hey… I could be wrong since I do not understand what they are saying.

Doctors treating US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for a blood clot in a vein between her brain and skull have said she should make a fully recovery.

She was admitted to the New York Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday after the discovery of the clot stemming from an accident earlier this month.
