The monster-like creature, the Jersey Devil, was spotted in Oklahoma and has been terrorizing local residents.

Some have suggested that the creature could be a gargoyle, an El Chupacabra, or a relative of the Montauk Monster.

The image above was taken in Oklahoma and first posted on May 6 on the Wild Care Oklahoma Facebook page.

This image was sent to WWN. It shows an Okie being attacked by the Jersey Devil:

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation confirmed that the animal was a Jersey Devil and they have contacted New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, and demanded that the beast be removed from Oklahoma.

“Years ago we didn’t see much wildlife with this genetic deficiency for no hair but it is more common now. And this is the most dangerous hairless beast on the planet,” said John Todd of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife.

Oklahomans were told to be “on the look out” for the Jersey Devil. And it’s best to spot him at night:

YOWIE SPOTTED IN LONDON!

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

A Yowie, a big hairy beast, has been spotted roaming the streets of London.

The latest sightings took place just north of Camden Town in London.

yowie_londonD

Hundreds of witnesses have seen the beast strolling around London. One resident saw the creature jumping a barbed wire paddock fence before briefly pausing at the edge of a road..

The Yowie raised his arm to apparently shield its eyes from the bright high beam glare of the approaching car.

“I would have seen it for between 20 and 30 seconds,” the witness recalled.

“It was really moving at the time. It leapt the fence no problem.

“All I can remember was seeing this large black object with a solid build, lanky legs and long lanky arms.

“It wasn’t clothed … it wasn’t wearing clothes like a human.”

yowie_londonC

Witnesses say the creature runs with a fast, stooped pace. It has high shoulders and almost no neck and a small head.

“It’s like its head was shrunken into its shoulders,” he said.

The Yowie hasn’t been seen in London in over five decades. The last time Londoners saw the Yowie, the Beatles were just becoming famous.

Many in England are speculating as to why the Yowie has returned to London. Sources in the government say that it probably has something to do with Climate Change.

“I believe that the Yowie is being driven out of the forests by Climate Change. This is another reason why we must tackle this issue now,” said Prince Charles.

PICKLES CURE OBESITY

AppId is over the quota

Scientists have discovered that eating homemade pickles – cures obesity!

The best way to fight “fat bacteria” is to eat homemade pickles. This is according to a new study out of Harvard, Cambridge and the Culinary Institute of America.

“If you eat homemade pickles, you will lose all the excess weight you carry on your frame,” said famed nutritionist, Jacob Walkmer. ”Five to ten pickles a day after that will help you maintain your ideal weight, for the rest of you life.”

picklesC

Microbiologists discovered that we are made up of 90 per cent bacteria. Nine out of every ten cells in our bodies are not human but belong to these microbial species (most of them residents of our gut).

The pickles fight the bacteria in the gut and enhance growth of “fat-killing bacteria.”

“You have to eat the pickles as soon as you wake up and then have two or three right before you go to bed,” said Walkmer. ”If you do this, you will, absolutely lose weight.”

picklesB

If you change the ratio of bad bacteria to good bacteria in your stomach, you will lose weight – fast – according to the study.

The Western diet, with its refined carbohydrates, highly processed foods, and dearth of fresh vegetables, preserves foods by killing bacteria and then deprives our gut bacteria of much that is good for them to ferment and grow.

picklesE

‘Probiotics – beneficial bacteria ingested either in fermented foods or in supplements – have been shown to calm the immune system and reduce inflammation; shorten the duration and severity of colds in children; relieve diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome; reduce allergic responses; stimulate the immune response; possibly reduce the risk of certain cancers; and improve the health and function of the gut.

And the best probiotic every created – pickles.

So, go ferment some pickles – and lose weight!

MICHAEL JACKSON’S GHOST TESTIFIES IN TRIAL

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Michael Jackson’s ghost appeared in court today and declared his death an accident.

Jackson’s Ghost, 50, was speaking to the court through Lionel Richie’s ex-wife, Brenda. She was “channeling” Michael’s ghosts.

Jackson’s family is blaming concert corporation, AEG – for the death of Michael. They are alleging negligence and blame the company for hiring doctor Conrad Murray — since jailed for giving Jackson a fatal sedative overdose in 2009

Randy Phillips, CEO of AEG Live, however, claimed the legendary star had insisted from beyond the grave that his death was an accident, thus clearing Dr Conrad Murray, who has been jailed for delivering a fatal overdose of a sedative in 2009.

jackson_ghostd

Speaking to members of the jury at the Los Angeles County Superior Court , Mr Phillips is said to have claimed the supernatural encounter was delivered via his friend Brenda Richie, the ex-wife of musician Lionel Richie.

“Brenda called me to tell me that she was in communications with Michael, either through a medium or directly. She said Michael told her it wasn’t Dr Murray’s fault – that he had accidentally killed himself.’

jackson_ghostC

Judge Yvette Palazuelos is said to have ‘let the testimony stand’, as Mr Phillips responded to questioning about an email he sent back in August 2009.

It said: ‘I think I know what MJ died of and this would exonerate Conrad.’

A lawyer representing the Jackson family reportedly objected to the evidence, claiming it was ‘triple hearsay’, as the conversation was relayed to Branda Richie through the assistance of a medium. But the judge let the evidence stand nonetheless.

Jackson was close to both Lionel and Brenda throughout his life, and was godfather to their adopted daughter, Nicole Richie, 31.

jackson_ghostE

When the AEG lawyers continued to object, Michael Jackson’s Ghost appeared in the courtroom and, after dancing for five minutes, testified himself.

Michael’s Ghost told the judge that he never intended to die. He said that he asked the Doctor to help him sleep and the doctor accidentally gave him a “little too much.”

Michael also told the court that he is “happy in the afterlife” and is spending most of his time with “Elvis, Marilyn and Liz.”

SELENA GOMEZ HAS BABY GIRL!

Sources say Selena Gomez has given birth to a baby girl. Justin Bieber is reportedly the father.

According to people outside the hospital, Selena welcomed a baby daughter, whom she named Justina.

selena_babyC

Selena is reportedly thrilled to have a baby girl. Her mother, Mandy, was right there for the birth. ”Selena was a real trooper through the whole delivery. It was a very easy delivery. She even sang songs to the nurses while delivering the baby.”

Some sites are reporting that Selena’s mother actually had the baby. But WWN can confirm, after talking to sources in Culver City, that Selena is the mother, NOT her mother.

selena_babyE

The 20-year-old singer is currently working on her latest masterpiece “Stars Dance.” On Wednesday, June 12, Ed Sheeran was pictured leaving Selena’s house with a guitar, which sparked speculation of collaboration. The “Everything Has Changed” singer wore a navy blue sweater, denim pants and black sneakers as he put his guitar case into the back of his waiting car.

Justin Bieber is rumored to be the father of little baby, Justina. He could not be reached because he was hiding from his neighbor, Keyshawn Johnson.

WWN wishes the baby girl, and her baby… all the best.

POPE JOINS HELLS ANGELS

AppId is over the quota

Pope Francis blessed thousands of bikers at an open air mass in St Peter’s Square – and then joined the Hells Angels.

The Hells Angels stood out like a sore thumb among a crowd of thousands at a mass for Evangelium Vitae day in Vatican City. As part of a three-day celebration of the 110-year anniversary Pope Francis blessed the Hells Angels and then… joined the group.

pope_bikerF

Engines were rumbling when the Mass started.

During the homily, Francis cautioned that ‘power and pleasure’, among other things, lead to God being ‘replaced by fleeting human idols which offer the intoxication of a flash of freedom, but in the end bring new forms of slavery and death.’

pope_bikerC

A 25-mile Hells Angels parade from the port city of Ostia through central Rome on Saturday prompted some residents to complain about the traffic and noise. Thundering Harley engines nearly drowned out the Latin recitation of the “Our Father” prayer that accompanied Francis as he greeted the crowd before Mass. Standing in his open-top jeep, Francis drove up the main boulevard leading to St. Peter’s Square, blessing the thousands of people in what was a giant Harley parking lot.

Some estimates say a half-million Hells Angels from around the world descended on Rome for the four-day anniversary of Harley-Davidson.

pope_bikerD

The Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi noted that there were probably quite a few Catholic riders in the crowd and that regardless, anyone is welcome to a papal Mass.

“I know great people who have big bikes,” Lombardi quipped.

Best Buy talks with its founder said to have ended

Richard Sennott/The Star Tribune, via associated PressRichard Schulze, the founder of Best Buy in a store in April 2000.

Efforts of Richard Schulze grab Best Buy, the electronics retailer struggling he founded nearly 47 years, have ended.

Talks between Best Buy and a group consisting of Mr. Schulze and three private equity firms have ended, people briefed on the matter, to say DealBook Thursday. Discussions could resume at some point, one of these people has warned.

By the end, M. Schulze and business - Cerberus Capital Management, Leonard Green & Partners and TPG Capital - had negotiated to buy a larger stake in Best Buy that would have added to its roughly 20 percent of the shares, these people said.

Any prospect of a complete takeover of Best Buy had disappeared several weeks ago they added, after the consortium of investors found little appetite for debt which is involved in an acquisition debt.

Shares of Best Buy had already fallen earlier on Thursday, after the Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported that the founder had evolved to try for a minority stake in the retailer. They closed at $16,41, leading to a market value of only $ 5.6 billion $.

By comparison, when Mr. Schulze first revealed its potential interest to buy the whole of the electronic chain, a takeover bid would have been worth more than 8.8 billion $.

Shares of Best Buy fell more than 11 percent since word of interest of Mr. Schulze in a possible taken control first emerged last June.

Best Buy is expected to give a final update on discussions when it announces earnings quarterly Friday.

Samsung Plans Mini-magasins in best buys

A hands-on experience with the Samsung Galaxy S 4 smartphone.

Allison Joyce/Getty Images A hands-on experience with smartphone Samsung Galaxy S 4.

Samsung Electronics gives Apple some of its own medicine. The company will implement this summer within Best Buys mini-magasins across the United States.

Samsung Thursday said it would open 1,400 stores at the end of June. Called a Samsung experience Shop, each store will be an entire section at Best Buy dedicated to Samsung smartphones, tablets, cameras, portable computers, televisions and accessories. It will include customer support for products of Samsung, similar to the Genius Bar at Apple stores.

Samsung is the largest manufacturer of phones in the world. But the Apple iPhone is still the mobile device sold in the United States.

Nevertheless, Samsung said the launch of its Best Buy stores is not to compete with Apple, but rather to offer consumers what they want. "At the heart of who we are, it's the answer to the needs of consumers and demands and ensure that they are happy and autonomous and happy their choice of Samsung as a brand," Ketrina Dunagan, Vice President, marketing at retail, said in an interview.

Apple has about 400 brick and mortar stores worldwide. Apple also has mini-magasins in locations of Best Buy and partnerships with other major retailers like Wal-Mart and Target; its iPhones and iPads are displayed in carriers retail stores.

Features of Samsung, too, with large panels and stands inside the shops of carriers are strongly encouraged, and in July, the company opened a retail store in Vancouver. It remains to be seen whether the company will continue to deploy its own stores. Ms. Dunagan said opening stores within Best Buys is a faster way to expand the footprint of the company in the large distribution.

Other manufacturers of electronics like HTC, Motorola and BlackBerry do not have as strong a presence at retail, and they rely mainly on wireless companies, sale of their phones.

Samsung has partnered with Best Buy for a long time. Now, the main difference is that instead of having its products in Best Buy stores, they will be in the same place. In the mini-magasins, Best Buy employees will be trained to educate consumers on Samsung devices and their market through the purchase and activation. In stores with more space, there will be demonstrations showing how Samsung devices can share content on multiple screens. In the customer support section, shoppers can ask employees of Best Buy what they can do when something does not go with a Samsung device, as when the screen breaks.

Of course, Samsung must pay Best Buy to upgrade its products featured in many stores. Ms. Dunagan refused to comment on how many because the details of the partnership are confidential.

Best Buy Narrows loss

Best Buy, largest world consumer electronics chain, said on Friday, it lost 409 million $, or $1.21 per share, in the fourth quarter ended February 2, compared to a loss of 1.82 billion $, or $5.17 per share, a year earlier.

On an adjusted basis, earnings from continuing operations decreased to $1.64 per share, from $2.18 a year earlier.

Revenue increased only 0.2 percent to 16.71 billion $.

Separately, the efforts of Richard Schulze seize from Best Buy, which he founded nearly 47 years ago have ended.

Talks between Best Buy and a group consisting of Mr. Schulze and three private equity firms have ended, people briefed on the issue, say the New York Times Thursday.

Mr. Schulze, who had made an informal proposal to buy Best Buy for a share of $ 24 to $ 26 last August, does not have to align necessary debt and the equity, according to the sources.

Buyout effort ended, Best Buy founder returns to society

Richard Schulze, who has explored and then abandoned a possible bid for Best Buy, is equivalent to the electronics chain he founded.

Best Buy said Monday that Mr. Schulze would become President Emeritus. And two former executives of Best Buy, which Mr. Schulze had typed to participate in a possible buyout, Brad Anderson and Al Lenzmeier, were appointed to seats on the Board of directors pursuant to an agreement between the company and its founder.

Mr. Schulze has resigned from the Board last June and began working with the bankers of Credit Switzerland to weigh in order to take the chain struggling in private. But this effort came out this year and no offer of redemption not materialized. In February, Mr. Schulze and his three partners of private equity - Cerberus Capital Management, Leonard Green & Partners and TPG Capital - were in talks to add to Mr. Schulze 21% of the share capital of the company.

Now, Mr. Schulze has chosen to support the CEO of the company, Hubert Joly, in his effort to turn the retailer.

"In the past months, I have come to know and abide by Hubert and have a lot of esteem for the work that he and his management team to revitalize Best Buy for the benefit of all stakeholders", Mr. Schulze said in a statement. "My dedication to the company that I founded and love did not weaken, and with Hubert and the Council, I have determined that the best way to support Best Buy would be to support ongoing initiatives".

The product, called current Square, can connect to other accessories like a printer, the cash drawer and barcode scanner. It includes a safety screw to lock iPad in place; a merchant can also drill a hole in the work plan for the bolt it to the table, Jesse Dorogusker, a vice president of Square, which oversees its registry product.

The bracket can be rotated to enable the iPad to customers, so they can sign their recipes.

"We wanted to build not only a great piece of software, but also hardware to deal with the", said Jack Dorsey, Chief Executive of the place, appearing in a café in San Francisco. Booth would be a refreshing alternative to the systems point of sale ugly, slow, costly to merchants, he said.

The stand costs $300 and will arrive in Best Buy stores in July. The place is also taking pre-orders on its Web site.

Best Buy Reports a Loss for the Quarter

The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:00:59.6875000. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.
Facing increased competition from online retailers and discount stores, the company is reorganizing. In April it said it would sell its 50 percent stake in Best Buy Europe, a joint venture, to streamline its business and strengthen its balance sheet.

Hubert Joly, the chief executive, said Best Buy was working on improving its e-commerce offerings, redesigning parts of its Web site and making other site upgrades.

Brian Sozzi, chief executive and chief equities strategist at Belus Capital Advisers, said the report showed that the company's efforts were beginning to pay off. "Best Buy is starting to run a tighter ship in which demand is properly aligned with inventory," he said.

The company reported a net loss of $81 million for the three months ending May 4, or 24 cents a share, in contrast to a profit of $158 million, or 46 cents a share, in the period a year earlier.

Excluding reorganization costs and costs related to selling its stake in Best Buy Europe, it earned 36 cents a share. That beat the 24 cents a share that analysts had expected, according to FactSet.

Revenue fell nearly 10 percent, to $9.38 billion, excluding revenue European. Including revenue from the joint European venture it is selling, revenue totaled $6.7 billion. That is ahead of analyst expectations for $10.67 billion. Revenue in stores open at least one year, a crucial gauge in retailing, fell 1.1 percent.

Shares of Best Buy slipped 4.36 percent, or $1.17, to $25.64, on Tuesday.

Many retailers are likely to Amazon "Showrooming".

Target and Best Buy have made quite clear that they are fighting back against the phenomenon of showrooming, in which clients browse for televisions and other products in stores and then buy online from Amazon and other etailers for less. The two companies recently made their seasonal practices of the corresponding prices at retailers online a policy throughout the year.

A new study from Amazon customers search for products in stores in places, a mobile analytics company, offering one overview of who else could be the greatest risk of losing business to showrooming. The study relies on Control Panel place over 14 000 mobile phone users who agree to have their sites tracked in Exchange for store gift cards and other benefits. Place can tell when these people visit a particular retailer without them having to report proactively their store visits.

Best Buy was one of the stores visited most by Amazon's male showroomers.

Larry W. Smith/European Pressphoto Agency Best Buy was one of the stores visited more than showroomers men from Amazon.

Mobile phones are indispensable tools of showroomers for the price comparison. Amazon has even given to users of its mobile application, shopping the possibility of simplifying search prices on its site by letting them scan product barcodes using their smartphone cameras.

Among the people face-to-face who reported purchasing items on Amazon after reviewing the same issue in physical stores, Placed found that Bed Bath and Beyond, PetSmart, and Toys 'R' us were retailers that showroomers Amazon has visited the most, with stores of showroomers 27, 25 percent and 21 percent more likely to visit the three Amazonrespectively, than the average consumer.

When place considered showroomers Amazon by sex, he found that Best Buy, Home Depot, and Lowe were the men of three retailers were more likely to visit, while Kohl, PetSmart and Bed Bath and beyond is the first places for women.

Jon Sandler, a spokesman for Best Buy, said "showrooming is now dead for us" because of the recent decision of the company to make permanent correspondent of the price at online retailers.

Another interesting Nugget in the Placed study shows how much overlap between award-winning buying Amazon, get free delivery of two days and other benefits for an annual membership and other membership-based retailers. Those who said placed they were customers of Amazon Prime was more likely to visit the Costco and 39% more likely to visit the Club wholesale BJ than the average buyer of 45 per cent.

It is possible that, at some point, these buyers might choose to abandon their memberships to physical stores like Amazon offers more of goods and delivery service which more directly in competition with instant gratification and the selection of its competitors in offline mode. For now, however, many people seem to be choosing Amazon Prime without sacrificing other store memberships.
