She killed BF by sitting on him
Only a few months ago we were decrying the disastrous state of north-americans’ gut. This Cleveland woman got only 3 year probation for killing his much thinner boyfriend, also the father of her children.
Police said Mia Landingham and Mikal Middleston-Bey, who have three children together, got into an argument in August. During the altercation Landingham sat on Middleston-Bey.
Landingham pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Her attorney told said there was a long history of domestic abuse in the relationship. He asked the judge for leniency and pointed out she has no prior criminal record.
Landingham she was sorry for squashing the father of her children.
"I just want to say that I am sincerely sorry about this situation. I wish I could take it back,” she said.
Landingham was sentenced to three years probation and 100 hours community service. She was immediately released from jail.
The victim’s family said they were surprised that she got no additional jail time.
"So basically you can say that I can go sit on somebody and get probation? I feel there wasn't no justice. My brother's gone and all she gets is three years probation," the victim’s brother said.

Daul Kim – the penetrable beauty
I wish I could tell you why she did it, but I don’t know. The best I can do is try to figure it out and speculate. Her death reminds me of Ruslana Korshunova’s suicide, who was also beautiful beyond belief yet empty inside, suffered from depression and apparently chose to end her life.
There are some troubling circumstances surrounding Ruslana’s death. Her family raised questions but the police was unwilling to oblige. Her hair had suddenly become shorter, and her body was not where it would have ended up after a fall from her apartment.
Daul Kim’s death is however more likely a suicide. She is the 9th Korean celebrity to commit suicide this year. She was fascinated by kinky Klaus Kinski (the deliciously crazy German actor) and collected forks as a hobby. She was also a painter. But despite these outlets, she felt a void in her existence. She had quit school at 15.
As far back as 2007 she had left often violent posts of self angst related to self-mutilation and suicide and, exhausted in April 2007, had posted “I am going to smash my face… My life as daul was so miserable and lonely. Please join my loneliness in another world. I love you all. Daul.” She then added. “KIDDING. I'm fine. Just tired.”

Mad Men Season 4, Public Relations notes
The common theme of this first episode is that it’s all about Don Draper, who is slowly (but in discrete milestones) learning to shed his modesty and his desire to conceal his fraudulent persona.
A Times interview with Da Mon is only appropriate:
I will continue with my notes, though I might add a commentary at a later date.
“i’m from the MidWest. we were taught that it’s not ok to talk about yourself.”
“crisp and engaging portraiture painting”
“I’d love to bend your ear when I’m finished with my book”
meeting – McCan clients - “I don’t know who’s the client here” – 2 pc bathing suit – we’re a family company
“did you tell him about the 2nd floor? – i refuse to be any part of that charade”
lack of conference table - “demands a conversation”
“creatively, Y&R is not capable of living in this neighborhood [downtown, expensive]. you know why? because YOU are not working there”
-- idea about buying turkey ham --
$25 for actors to get in the Daily News “we can’t charge them for it”
get him to Bethany - “you hit it off, come Turkey Day maybe you can stuff her”
sterling gets him to see 25 yo super (numerary) at the Opera. chicken kiev. “they make you wear a bib”
“i’m breaking a lot of my rules seeing a divorced man. but Jane has made you a personal cause.” - “and there were so many real problems in the world”
he kisses her but breaks just when she wanted more – then she keeps the distance
“all in all, not a bad way to spend a Sunday” - “get my an aspirin”
jailai TV commercial sold to abc “I wish we had a 2nd floor so i can jump off it”
turning creative success into business IS your work; and you’ve failed.
dinner scene – thanksgiving –
“the trafic was murder” “that’s because that’s what’s become of this country: everyone has two thanksgivings to go to” “maybe we have twice as much to be thankful for”
hooker scene – harder – again
peggy needs bailout money – they pressed charges against each other (+100 each to keep mouth shot)
when r u moving out? – “it’s only temporary” – believe me, everyone thinks that it is” - “he’s right”
“the image is where you left it” – I don’t need you at that meeting – now you’re being spiteful – no, i just think it would be better not to have a girl in the room
“you know smthg? we are all here because of you. all we wanna do is please you.”
i’ve raised children in my life henry – they’re terrified of her. i know what you see in her and you could’ve gotten it without marrying. she’s a silly woman. honestly, henry, i don’t know how you can stand living in that man’s dirt.
so well built, we can’t show you the second floor. – i think that’s a little suggestive.

Actor slits his own throat
Daniel Hoevels, 30, came awfully close to dying on stage after the knife he used many times to end the life of his character failed to fail, giving his spectators the thrill of the year.
He…
…slumped over with blood pouring from his neck while the audience broke into applause at the "special effect". Police are investigating whether the knife was a mistake or a murder plot. They are questioning the rest of the cast, and backstage hands with access to props; they will also carry out DNA tests.
Things went wrong at Vienna's Burgtheater as Hoevels' character went to "kill himself" in the final scene of Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart, about Mary Queen of Scots, on Saturday night. It was only when he did not get up to take a bow that anyone realised something had gone wrong. Though bleeding profusely, Hoevels survived because the knife missed the carotid artery as it sliced into his neck. Wolfgang Lenz, a doctor who treated him, said: "Just a little bit deeper and he would have been drowning in his own blood."
One officer told Austrian TV news: "The rumours are wild, with some claiming that he was the victim of jealous rival. We don't know anything for sure yet; we have to work through everyone." The knife was reportedly bought at a local shop; one possibility is that the props staff forgot to blunt its blade. "The knife even still had the price tag on it," an investigator said.
After emergency treatment at a hospital, Hoevels declared that the show must go on, and returned to the stage on Sunday night with a bandage tied around his neck, ready to once again meet his mock demise.
