OBAMA WITH HITLER MUSTACHE...SPARKS OUTRAGE

A digital billboard showing US President Barack Obama with an Adolf Hitler mustache has sparked outrage in a small Indiana city. Residents in Kendallville say the electronic advertisement, installed for two days by the controversial LaRouche Political Action Committee, went "way too far."
It depicted Obama with a small, black line across his upper lip — in what may of the area's 9,800 citizens say was an "extremely unfair" comparison to the Nazi Germany leader.
"All the hard work we put forward as a community to change our image; to be a positive, growing community, and then a sign like this appears," said Mayor Suzanne Handshoe.
"It just undoes everything we've been doing," she told WANE-TV. But the LaRouche group, which is dedicated to advancing the controversial views of former presidential candidate Lydon LaRouche, defended the stunt, New York Daily News reported.
Members, who oppose modern banking and believe Obama is helping to spark a Third World War, said they were in town for a conference and bought the space "to make their presence known." Kendallville sits in a conservative area of Northern Indiana, where Mitt Romney won 2-to-1 against Obama during the 2012 election.

"We can only suggest to MCI to take note of the prevailing atmosphere in the medical profession and identify such black sheep as are responsible for creating an impression in the public mind that they are being milked by greedy doctors. "Government should take steps to protect patients from unscrupulous medical practitioners," the East Delhi District Consumer Forum had said while directing a city-based clinic to pay...

MH 370 CRASH AREA NOT INDIAN OCEAN

The search for the missing Malaysian jet suffered yet another blow today after Australia ruled out a large area in the Indian Ocean where four acoustic signals were detected as the final resting place of the plane. The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Bluefin-21, completed its last mission searching the remaining areas in the vicinity of the acoustic signals detected in early April by the Towed Pinger Locator deployed from the Australian ship Ocean Shield. "The data collected on yesterday's mission has been analysed. As a result, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre can advise that no signs of aircraft debris have been found by the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle since it joined the search effort," the Joint Agency Coordination Centre that is leading the search said.
