Police Probe Alleged Homeless Dumping


Feb 9, 6:29 AM (ET)

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A hospital van dropped off a paraplegic man on Skid Row, allegedly leaving him crawling in the street with nothing more than a soiled gown and a broken colostomy bag, police said.

Witnesses who said they saw the incident Thursday wrote down a phone number on the van and took down its license-plate number, which helped detectives connect the vehicle to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, the Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site.

Police said the incident was a case of "homeless dumping" and were questioning officials from the hospital.

"I can't think of anything colder than that," said Detective Russ Long. "There was no mission around, no services. It's the worst area of Skid Row."

The case comes three months after the L.A. city attorney's office filed its first indictment for homeless dumping against Kaiser Permanente for an incident earlier last year.

In that case, a 63-year-old patient from the hospital's Bellflower medical center was videotaped wandering the streets of Skid Row in a hospital gown and socks.

An after-hours call Thursday to Hollywood Presbyterian seeking comment was not immediately returned.

Kaylor Shemberger, the hospital's executive vice president, told the Times the incident was under investigation.

"Obviously we are very concerned about the information that has been presented to us," Shemberger said. "If some of the facts are correct, it is clearly not in line with our policy of handling these types of patients."

City officials have accused more than a dozen hospitals of dumping patients and criminals on Skid Row. Hospital officials have denied the allegations, but some said they had taken homeless patients to Skid Row service providers.

In 2005, Hollywood Presbyterian was accused of homeless dumping. At the time, a top executive denied the charge, but said Skid Row service providers offered treatment and care for some patients who had nowhere else to go.

Falling trees can't shake Murray's game

.....................

The sky is falling, trees are falling, people are running and screaming like extras in a bad Tom Cruise disaster movie.

Bill Murray, who stood on the 17th green at Spyglass Hill on Thursday afternoon and watched a rogue monster pine tree crash a few feet from where he and partner Scott Hoch stood, later said dramatically, "We cheated death and we had no bogeys."

Psychic museum closes due to unforseen circumstances

Didn't see that coming.

York Psychic Museum has shut due to unforeseen circumstances, the York Press reports.

Astrologer Jonathan Cainer, who opened the museum in 2003, admitted that he'd been welcoming just 100 people a week through the doors, and had accordingly decided to temporarily hang up his crystal ball.

Two scientists have created a hi-tech material made from carrots which could be used to make warships in the future.

The material, known as Curran, has been developed by Fife-based inventors Dr David Hepworth and Dr Eric Whale and can be made into everything from fishing rods to car parts.

The pair, based in Burntisland, believe it could be used as a green alternative to glass and carbon fibre.

Notable Quotables

Is there anything that is not a quotation?

Sherlock Holmes never said “Elementary, my dear Watson.” Neither Ingrid Bergman nor anyone else in “Casablanca” says “Play it again, Sam”; Leo Durocher did not say “Nice guys finish last”; Vince Lombardi did say “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing” quite often, but he got the line from someone else. Patrick Henry almost certainly did not say “Give me liberty, or give me death!”; William Tecumseh Sherman never wrote the words “War is hell”; and there is no evidence that Horace Greeley said “Go west, young man.” Marie Antoinette did not say “Let them eat cake”; Hermann Göring did not say “When I hear the word ‘culture,’ I reach for my gun”; and Muhammad Ali did not say “No Vietcong ever called me ******.” Gordon Gekko, the character played by Michael Douglas in “Wall Street,” does not say “Greed is good”; James Cagney never says “You dirty rat” in any of his films; and no movie actor, including Charles Boyer, ever said “Come with me to the Casbah.” Many of the phrases for which Winston Churchill is famous he adapted from the phrases of other people, and when Yogi Berra said “I didn’t really say everything I said” he was correct.

Good grief, fake tears....The Digital Gods are proud....

And for my acting Oscar, I thank the special effects

From a welling tear to a wounded stare, the ability to project convincing emotions in close-up is the test of a cinema actor. But now it appears that there is more to some star turns than meets the audience’s eye.

Directors have started to manipulate actors’ performances in postproduction.

Modern visual effects technology allows them to go beyond traditional cosmetic changes, such as removing wrinkles and unsightly hairs, and adjust actors facial expressions and subtly alter the mood of a scene.
