Until the day Texas executed him in 1989, Carlos DeLuna insisted another Carlos stabbed and killed 24-year-old Wanda Lopez at a Corpus Christi gas station in February 1983. At trial, prosecutors dismissed the idea, calling the other Carlos "a phantom" that didn't exist.

After the Newsnew
When the word came down that The Times-Picayune would no longer be a daily newspaper, it wasn't from the paper's owners, Advance Publications. Nor was it from senior management or newsroom officials. It came as a brief item on The New York Times' "Media Decoder" blog, written by David Carr, and sent out over Twitter at 10:33 p.m., when the newsroom was largely empty.

Pradaxa Patients Can't Stop the Bleedingnew
There's only one really bad thing about the anti-clotting pill Pradaxa. You can't fall or get cut while taking it because once you start bleeding, there's almost no way to stop it. There's no reversal agent, no antidote.
