    Hombre pierde mano por caimán en EEUU; Lo multan por alimentarlo

    EVERGLADES CITY, Florida, EE.UU. (AP) — El capitán de un hidrodeslizador en Florida, quien perdió la mano al ser mordido por un caimán de más de 2,70 metros (9 pies), fue acusado formalmente de alimentar al animal.

    Los registros de la cárcel del condado de Collier muestran que Wallace Weatherholt, de 63 años, fue acusado el viernes de alimentar ilegalmente a un caimán y luego pagó una fianza de 1.000 dólares. Su siguiente audiencia en la corte será el 22 de agosto.

    El arresto fue reportado primero por el periódico local Fort Myers News-Press (http://newspr.es/PVBBGP ).

    Weatherholt fue atacado el 12 de junio mientras daba un recorrido por el humedal de los Everglades a una familia de Indiana. La familia dijo que Weatherholt colgó un pescado a un lado del bote y que tenía la mano a la altura del agua cuando el caimán atacó.

    Las autoridades de flora y fauna rastrearon y mataron al lagarto. La mano de Weatherholt fue encontrada después, pero los médicos no lograron unirla al brazo de nuevo.

    Después se realizó una investigación penal. Alimentar a los lagartos es un delito menor en Florida.

      By Alasdair and Fotheringham CHERASCO, Italy, May 17 - A series of small but challenging climbs late on Friday's stage of the 2012 Giro d'Italia could not stop Britain's Mark Cavendish taking his fourth stage win and second in two days.

    • Kanye West's Angry 'SNL' Rant Makes Saturday's Season Finale a Must-Watch

      This coming weekend is a big one for Saturday Night Live. It marks the end of Bill Hader's tenure on the show and Ben Affleck's fifth time hosting. But perhaps the most significant reason to tune in is the fact that Kanye West is the musical guest, and he's making it seem like he really, really doesn't want to be. With West's apparent frustration with the show and his penchant for, shall we say ... off-the-cuff remarks, producers should be worried and we should be excited. Is there a better combo than that?
