No prison for woman whose baby died after she ate rat poison while ...
By Susan Guyett, Reuters
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana prosecutors have dropped murder and attempted feticide charges against an Indianapolis woman who tried to kill herself by eating rat poison near the end of her pregnancy.
Bei Bei Shuai, 36, was charged in March 2011 with knowingly killing a viable fetus, prosecutors said.
Shuai walked out of Marion County Superior Court in Indianapolis a free woman on Friday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of criminal recklessness for the death of her newborn daughter, Angel.
She had been released from prison on bond in May 2012. Under the plea agreement, she did not have to serve more jail time.
"I have to say thank you to everyone who supported me before because without them, I'm not going to be able to continue to today," Shuai told reporters in footage posted on the Indianapolis Star website.
Shuai consumed rat poison while 33 weeks' pregnant in December 2010, prosecutors said. She was taken to a hospital where she admitted to attempting to kill herself after her boyfriend left her, according to a police statement.
Shuai's baby girl, Angel Shuai, was born alive, but died a few days after being taken off life support.
Shuai is from China and has no family members in the United States, according to her lawyer, Linda Pence.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said his office had always been willing to resolve the case for lesser charges. Earlier proposed deals had been rejected by the defense.
Curry said decisions by the trial judge about what could and could not be entered into evidence at the trial played a role in the negotiations.

Chipley- To have called this a 'strange growing season' for panhandle farmers would be an understatement.
"You'll have wet years, you'll have dry years. This year, in one growing season we've had both, and that's what makes it even more unusual. It's unusually wet by itself. But then, if you look at how dry it was at planting time, it just makes it an even stranger situation" Washington County Agriculture agent Mark Mauldin said.
Washington County has been known for its watermelon crops, but not this year. This year's yields were drastically lower than last years'.
"Well, if you talk about watermelon just specifically, you could probably say about 70% less. If you want to talk about cantaloupe, its probably 95% less" Orwat said. He told us rain was the overriding factor accounting for the failure.
"They started in early July with all the heavy rains we've been having and that caused the vines to rot in low lying spaces. So, the majority in this county- Washington County, and Holmes County -a lot of the watermelon and cantaloupe crop was just decimated and ruined because of the vine rotting and the standing water."
Some grower got lucky and got a first cut,- some even a second. But many didn't even get the first one.
"You know, watermelons and cantaloupes you can get a lot out of a small acreage, so what's happened is those small acreage crops are high dollar value per acreage so it does hurt the crop" Orwat said.
And while many farmers lost their crop, Orwat said they didn't lost their hope.
"They could, you know, plant some vegetables in for a fall crop, late august early September."
And, some of those farmers may qualify for disaster relief funds from FEMA, due to the recent flooding.

About the author-------
Deneice Arthurton is an expert at solo world travel. She is a freelance writer and surfer who has been traveling the world for the last 9 years. Here is her story in her own words:
In 2003, after an all-too-close encounter with my own mortality, I sold my house, gave away my business and possessions, tucked my surf board under my arm and set out into the world to find adventure. Almost a decade later I am still doing that, still getting lost and found, still living a life which strikes me every single day as a blessed one........and discovering that the world is enormous.
My initial forays into the world of travel were undertaken with a big burly man by my side ? my long term partner and playmate Chris. When our relationship ended, after dusting my heartbroken self down, I wanted to carry on traveling and surfing but I was totally terrified. What's more, in my 40s, I was no longer young.
My answer at that time was to find a voluntary work placement in Thailand to make my initial solo female travel a little less daunting. I can still remember the total feeling of paralyzing fear as my plane took off ? I had never felt so lonely in my whole life. Little did I know at the time that it was to be the beginning of something beautiful and I haven't looked back since.
Where will I go next? Who knows......... somewhere in the world. Deneice Arthurton, solo female backpacker....Lucky me!

Apple Reminds Customers in Some U.S. States of Upcoming Sales Tax Holidays [Mac Blog]
With a number of U.S. states preparing to host "sales tax holidays" in which certain items can be purchased without being subject to sales taxes, Apple has begun sending out emails to customers in those states reminding them of the potential to save significant amounts of money on purchases such as computers and accessories.
Sales tax holidays are typically held in early August as back to school shopping is in full swing, and item eligibility varies by state, with clothing and school supplies being the most common exempt items while some states also include computers. Apple has a feature page highlighting the ten states where certain Apple products will qualify for tax-free status, including links to full details on eligible products and price limits for each of those states. States where some Apple products qualify for the programs include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
For education customers, the sales tax holidays come on top of Apple's discounted Mac pricing and its Back to School promotion, which offers customers gift cards of up to $100 with the purchase of a new Mac, iPad, or iPhone. The gift cards are valid in any of Apple's digital stores, which include the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore.

Sony?s 9.6 Million Smartphone Shipments Boost Latest Quarterly Financials
Use your > keys to browse more stories
Sony (NYSE:SNE) has just released its latest financial report for the quarter from April to June (confusingly called Q1 in Japan). Focusing on mobile, Sony?s newest figures show stronger smartphone shipments, rising to 9.6 million in that quarter ? that?s compared to just 33 million smartphones shipped in the whole of financial year 2012.
But Sony?s figures for that month don?t include its newest flagship, the 6.4-inch screened and impressively thin Xperia Z Ultra (pictured), which is rolling out in selected markets this summer. Smartphones might be a tough market, but they also serve as a great halo product for a brand as they?re so enormously visible on the streets. Better Sony smartphones ? preferably with timely Android updates ? could boost Sony?s performance in some of its many other consumer sectors.
But as the chart above shows, PS3, PSP, and PSP Vita sales fell dramatically, with just 1.1 million PlayStation consoles sold in Q1. But with the new PS4 due before Christmas in some markets, it?s a rough transition year for Sony?s flagship gaming product. Yesterday, Nintendo posted even more dismal numbers for its own consoles.
Overall, Sony?s net profit ? no more catastrophic losses like in 2012 ? hit $35.38 million, and revenues were in line with what analysts expect. Check out the full earnings slides here.

Congressman Questions Whether Dialogue with China ?Will Improve a Single Life?
ICC Note: Despite drastic improvements in the way Christians and other religious minorities are treated in China over the past thirty years, conditions remain alarmingly difficult thanks to a huge number of restrictions on religious freedom and ongoing efforts to control the growth of Christianity. ICC estimates that many hundreds, if not thousands, of Christians remain interned in labor prisons for refusing to join the government controlled "Three-Self Church." In this Press Release, Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia questions whether the annual U.S. - China human rights dialogue currently being conducted will actually improve the life of a single Chinese individual, or if it is mere rhetoric. ?
7/31/2013 China (Congressman Wolf) - Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), co-chairman of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission and longtime leader on the issue of international human rights and religious freedom, today criticized the Obama Administration?s approach toward China, saying that too often, high-level bilateral discussions ? and even the annual human rights dialogue ? are ?cloaked in secrecy? and fail to produce discernible improvements in the deplorable human rights situation in China.
In a statement, which was submitted to the Congressional Record today, Wolf urged the administration to publicly prioritize human rights and religious freedom as part of its wider foreign policy agenda.
The dialogue, which is being held today and tomorrow in China, began after the brutal Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989, where Chinese government officials employed martial law during peaceful student-led protests in Beijing.
Wolf said that according to Human Rights Watch, past human rights dialogues with China ?have been largely a rhetorical shell, lacking in accountability, transparency, and clear benchmarks for progress.?
In his statement, Wolf talked at length about the persecution of people of faith, the repression of political dissent and the brutal labor camps employed by the government.
He also described the ?Great Firewall? in China, which censors so-called ?offensive? speech on the Internet.
?It is estimated that China employs between 30,000 and 50,000 special Internet police,? he said. ?As far back as 2008, Amnesty International rightly noted that ?In China, the Internet has become a new frontier in the fight for human rights.? And yet the Obama Administration has paid mere lip-service to Internet freedom, boasting in speeches of the priority it places on the issue when in fact, nearly all of the money they?ve spent on Internet circumvention has been as a result of congressionally mandated funding targeting closed societies, and the State Department has actually sought to redirect the funding toward less threatening research initiatives as opposed to actual hard-hitting circumvention, which poses a real threat to authoritarian regimes.?
?Too often, it seems that this administration?s posture vis-?-vis human rights is one of caution to the point of silence,? he added. ?Silence in the face of China?s abysmal human rights record is indefensible.?
Wolf concluded his statement with a warning: ?Many have predicted that the 21st century will be the Chinese century, but absent dramatic reform at the heart of the Chinese government, such Chinese ascendency is deeply problematic, and America must be clear-eyed about its implications. This administration has been anything but.?
