Ryan Poston, 29, a successful young attorney, was gunned down in his own home on Oct. 12, 2012. The shooter: his on-again, off-again girlfriend, a beautiful, young graduate student named Shayna Hubers. She says it was self-defense. Police say it was something else. What is certain is Hubers, 21, shot Poston six times. She admitted she shot him the moment she dialed 911. But what led to the shooting, however, is where the story takes unexpected turns. After the incident, Hubers was taken to police headquarters and read her rights. There, she told police she wanted a lawyer but then, unexpectedly, began talking on and off for more than two-and-half-hours with a police camera rolling: Hubers also danced, sang and snapped her fingers humming, "I did it! Yes, I did it." She even worried about her future marriage prospects. … [Read more...] about In bizarre police video, murder suspect sings “I did it! Yes, I did it.”

Shell’s fuel-efficient car race was slow as heck but I loved it
It's hot, sunny and I'm melting in my own puddle of sweat at Singapore's Changi Exhibition Center, where Shell's Eco-marathon Asia 2018 took place last weekend.I'm waiting for one of the 120 test cars, either powered by petrol, electricity or hydrogen, to come around the bend so I can snap a picture. A car finally passes by after about 10 seconds or so, a larger-but-aerodynamic UrbanConcept model. It silently coasts along before the engine fires up briefly to accelerate the vehicle before turning off.That, I'm told, is a strategy called "coast and burn." It maximises the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, something every team in the race has to do in order to win -- as it's not about who's fastest, but who can most efficiently go nine laps around the 1.12km (0.69 mile) track in under 25 minutes.This kind of makes sense, after all, the race is dubbed an Eco-marathon, and it's come a long way since it started back in 1939 out of a research lab in Illinois. Asia is relatively new to the … [Read more...] about Shell’s fuel-efficient car race was slow as heck but I loved it
