CNN's Extinction of Jerusalem
CNN listed Jerusalem's Old City as the world's most endangered historical site. But anyone who has walked the streets there knows that it is popular and extremely well-maintained. Perhaps CNN is buying into the lies that Israel is endangering Islamic holy places there -- lies that often lead to violence against Israelis.

Series of Hate Crimes Against Jews in Williamsburg
It’s happened so frequently lately, with the same group of people as victims, that the NYPD is now investigating as hate crimes a series of attacks in this Brooklyn neighborhood.
The latest crime happened Monday night, and now the search is on for a lengthening list of suspects. “My wife started making noise, and my son ran over to help,” said a man who identified himself only as Manny, about how his family helped to stop the attack on his next door neighbor Monday night. “They started running away” after his wife and son got involved, he said about the two attackers, a man and a woman, who his wife and son spotted from the balcony across the street from the crime, which happened at around 11:15 P.M.
The victim, 62, was walking home from his synagogue, when the pair accosted him. “For no good reason,” said Manny, “when somebody’s walking home like that and gets attacked like that, it’s shameful.” The two young people beat the man with an object he couldn’t clearly see.
It was the latest in a series of recent attacks on Hasidic Orthodox Jewish men in Williamsburg. On Monday of last week, another Hasidic man was beaten with an object that he felt all too well — a glass bottle. Police released a surveillance video image of that suspect, and searched for DNA clues from the cap the suspect had dropped at the scene, but at this point there has been no arrest.
Also, a day before that attack, somebody shot a paintball at another Orthodox Jewish man, while he stood near the corner of Lee Avenue and Rodney Street, a block from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, where the suspects may have sped off. It was the fifth paintball attack on an Orthodox Jewish person in Williamsburg since March. In each case, there appears to be one bad motive. “I think maybe because it’s racist,” said one Hasidic man in his 20s. Like many people in the Orthodox Jewish community of Williamsburg, he did not want his name used for news coverage.

Cops Were Not Impressed with Lawn Chair Balloon Ride
Police were not too impressed with 26-year-old Daniel Boria, who attached 110 balloons to a lawn chair and soared above Calgary before ditching the lawn chair and parachuting back down. Boria was arrested and charged with mischief causing danger to life for the sky-high publicity stunt, intended to draw attention to his cleaning company, All Clean Natural.
Boria – who had a GPS and an oxygen tank with him – had planned to parachute into the Calgary Stampede, but missed the grounds and landed in a nearby field, spraining his ankle in the process.
Boria, who said he spent about $20,000 on the stunt, described the experience as incredible. “It was the most surreal experience you can ever imagine. I was just by myself on a $20 lawn chair up in the sky above the clouds,” he told CBC News. Insp. Kyle Grant said that a publicity stunt is not worth risking a life and said that a lot could have gone wrong. He added, “It probably would have been cheaper to get a billboard.” The chair and the balloons have not yet landed.

Fearless Goat Goes Head To Head With a Bull
A fearless goat literally took the bull by the horns after it went head-to-head with one several times its size... and won.
In a video that captured the epic David and Goliath battle, the tiny animal is seen confronting the huge creature on the side of the road.
The courageous goat is seen forcing the bull backwards before being thrown back by a couple of forceful blows from the bull. refusing to back down, the grey and white goat comes back with a vengeance and continues its onslaught.
And proving that size really doesn't matter, it is the bull who eventually surrenders and timidly shuffles away with its tail between its legs. although it is not known exactly where the minute-long clip was filmed, it is thought to be in India, where bulls and cows are revered by the country's vast Hindu population.

Singing Zebra
From The Uploader: We were on a family vacation to San Antonio and stopped at Natural Bridge Caverns Wildlife Ranch on the way. As we went through the safari my husband was pretending all the animals were singing to him to get food.
Shark Capsizes Boat
A fisherman off the Florida coast swam as quickly as he could after a bull shark rammed into his kayak and tipped it over.
Captain Ben Chancey, 42, leads fishing expeditions and was searching for a goliath grouper when he was confronted with the predator below his boat in the St Lucie Inlet.
He said that he began to struggle with the estimated 350lb bull shark after picked up on his bait that a grouper had rejected.
Chancey, a Coast Guard captain for fishing charters, and the shark then began a 20-minute battle in which the animal dragged him and his boat around on top of the water as his friends hollered from a distance.
The fisherman and members of his show at Chewonthis.tv captured it all on video, before the beast reared upwards and whacked Chancey's kayak with its tail. he struggled to stay aboard the vessel, but ultimately slipped off as the boat careened sideways and then over. chancey landed directly on top of the shark, but told ABC that he didn't panic.
Wearing a life jacket, Chancey splashes as fast as possible to the safety of a support boat before his friends encourage him to get back in the kayak.
The close call comes after a increased number of shark incidents this summer. ten people have been attacked off the coasts of North and South Carolina this year, according to CNN.
Researchers believe that the rise in shark activity may stem from warmer, saltier water, which sharks prefer. some experts also believe that the increase in shark attacks may be due to a larger than usual sea turtle population along the Atlantic Coast.
