Freeport Declares Day of Mourning After Indonesia Mine Accident!

The local unit of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) declared a day of mourning after an accident at the Grasberg complex in Indonesia killed 28, prompting the nation to order a review of all mining operations.

Memorial services will be held today at its Jakarta office and site at Papua, PT Freeport Indonesia said today in an e-mailed statement. Work at the world’s second-largest copper mine will remain suspended until after an investigation is concluded, the government said yesterday.

“We continue to grieve with the families even as we close this grim chapter,” Freeport Indonesia President Director Rozik B. Soetjipto said in the statement. “There is still much to do for us to provide the best care and support for the injured and the families of the bereaved.”

Copper in London traded near a two-week high yesterday after the accident triggered supply concerns for the metal used in pipes and wires. Phoenix, Arizona-based Freeport gets about 19 percent of its copper production from its Indonesian mines and 90 percent of its gold output.

Freeport Indonesia yesterday had no update on shipments from the mine, said Daisy Primayanti, vice president of corporate communications at the local unit. The company was still shipping material produced from the mine as of May 17, the local unit said last week.

Press Conference

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ordered related ministries to review safety at all mines in Indonesia, Thamrin Sihite, director general of coal and minerals at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, said yesterday. He said the accident at Freeport is “one of the worst accidents in Indonesia.”

The death toll of 28 compares with 31 from a blast at a coal mine in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province in June 2009. Of the 38 workers in a classroom at an underground training facility when the roof collapsed on May 14, 10 were rescued, according to Freeport Indonesia.

Richard Adkerson, chief executive officer of Phoenix, Arizona-based Freeport and Freeport Indonesia’s Soetjipto are scheduled to speak to reporters today in Jakarta.

Indonesia generated $1.3 billion in operating income for Freeport last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Freeport owns 91 percent of the mine, which also produces gold, and Indonesia’s government holds the rest, according to the company’s website.

Copper production at its Indonesian operations was 315,000 metric tons in 2012, and gold output was 862,000 ounces, according to Freeport’s annual report. It had total annual copper output of 1.67 million tons and gold production of 958,000 ounces.

Former Queens teacher Daniel Reilly pleads guilty to rape charges for having sex with 14-year-old girl!

The 36-year-old married man, who worked at IS 237, admitted to bedding the 

teenage girl as recently as last month. He faces six months in prison when 

sentenced in July.

A predatory former sixth-grade teacher who used cellphone code names to hide an affair with his 14-year-old former student pleaded guilty to statutory rape Monday.

Former Queens Intermediate School 237 teacher Daniel Reilly, 36, admitted to bedding a 14-year-old girl as recently as last month in the Queens apartment he shares with his wife and baby daughter.

The ex-English teacher will be sentenced in July to six months in jail and 10 years' probation. He also will also be required to surrender his teaching license and register on the state's sex offenders registry.

Dept. officials yanked Reilly from the classroom following his April 9 arrest. He has resigned his teaching post.

Investigators caught wind of Reilly's sexual relationship with his former student after the victim's sister discovered sexually explicit text messages on her phone and contacted authorities.

Hilarious moment husband caught cheating wife - as her boyfriend escapes from window!

In a stunning example of a soap opera come to life, a video has surfaced from Brazil that depicts the hilarious struggle of a man attempting to escape a cheating woman’s bedroom after her husband has come home.

And it’s out a third story window.

High drama: An hysterical Brazilian video captures high wire drama of a married woman's paramour escaping shirtless out the window as her jilted husband arrives

As the drama begins, a husband and wife are seen arguing on the third-floor patio of an urban apartment building.

Adulterer with acumen: Like something out of Benny Hill, the shirtless man ties together a rope of clothes and out he goes

Their fight is juicy enough as is, but just off to the side a man appears in the couple's window.

Shirtless and angry, the man may be an adulterer but he's awfully quick-thinking. 

He tosses out the window an escape rope he's managed to fashion from knotted t-shirts and bravely begins to climb down.

On a window sill below, he stops. The cackling crowd mocks both him and the woman’s husband.

‘Cornudo,’ the growing audience yells at the husband, a Portuguese word for a man being cheated on.

They chant ‘JUMP!’ as emergency workers arrive to assist the struggling man. And he does just that.

Meanwhile, a crowd gathers below, laughing at the men and taunting them. 'Cornudo!' they yelled at the jilted husdand

A soft mat is placed below the shirtless man and the crowd cheers as leaps and bounces down to the street.

JUMP! The crowd dares him to leap and he does. Luckily, firemen have set up a cushion on the street

As if a Hollywood celebrity had just fallen from the sky, the passersby hoot and ogle and snap photos.

Safe: Shirtless and angry, the man lands on the cushion as the crowd cackles at his silly situation

The end: The man shakes his fist at the couple he left behind and then admonishes the highly entertained crowd before stomping, barefooted, out of view

Barefoot and scowling, the shirtless man gives the woman and her husband a good shake of the fist, then shakes it at the crowd for good measure and marches out of view.

State media dispatch shows North Korea has named hardline general as new military chief!

A North Korean state media dispatch shows that leader Kim Jong Un has named a hardline general as his new military chief.

The new title for Kim Kyok Sik came in a dispatch Wednesday from the North's Korean Central News Agency detailing a delegation at Pyongyang's airport that was seeing off a special envoy on a trip to China. There were no other details on the appointment.

Kim Kyok Sik previously held the military chief post until 2009. He also was defense minister until being recently replaced by a little-known general. He is the former commander of battalions believed responsible for attacks in 2010 that killed 50 South Koreans.

Kim replaces Hyon Yong Chol as military chief.

Military chief is considered a higher-ranking position than defense minister.

Ja'Nae's father Joshua and grandmother Yolanda 

The father of the first of the schoolchildren who lost their lives in the Oklahoma tornado to be named has said he was just too late to save her.

Joshua Hornsby has described how he raced to collect nine-year-old daughter Ja’Nae from the  Plaza Towers elementary school in the suburb of Moore.

"I had to park around the corner from the school and when I hit the corner so I could see the school was gone," he said. "My heart just sank."

Ja'Nae was one of seven children killed when the tornado demolished the site.

Mr Hornsby said he later received a call from the medical examiner.

"He told me that they had my daughter. I knew what he meant but I didn't want to accept it so I kept asking 'what do you mean?'.

"I said 'she's with you, what is she doing?' and that's when he told me she was deceased. That was it."

Ja'Nae's grandmother Yolanda Hornsby said: "It's like taking a piece out of my heart and just, like, stomping on it.

"I'll have to come to terms with... that I won't be able to spend no more Sunday dinners her, no more times at church any more. All of that stuff that we did together - and the smile."

Gov. Amaechi’s aide resigns!

Obinna Anyanwu, Special Assistant to Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers on Conflict Resolution, has resigned his appointment.

Mr. Obinna in a letter written to the governor on Monday, May 20, said his resignation took effect immediately.

He  said his resignation was due to “recent political development in our great party, PDP, Rivers state chapter, and my father’s position as regards to his call for your resignation as the Executive Governor of Rivers State.

“I wish to tender my resignation with immediate effect since it is only natural and incongruent to still remain in office.

“I, therefore, thank you very much for the opportunity you offered me to serve in your administration.”

Obinna’s father, Emma Anyanwu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, had called on Amaechi to resign following the political crisis in Rivers. .

Mr. Anyanwu said his call for Mr. Amaechi to resign was predicated on the governor’s alleged loss of the party structure that brought him into office and his inability to manage the political crisis.

Obinna was appointed by Mr. Amaechi in 2011.

Meanwhile, the state government has yet to react to the resignation of the aide, as calls put to the spokesmen of the governor were not responded.
