the joshua tree is watering down their booze
not surprised at all, i hate this place (but the talent is undeniable).
Local Bars Diluting Booze To Cut Costs
Investigators with the Massachusetts Alcohol Beverage Control Commission hauled dozens of bottles of booze out of a popular Boston bar, possible evidence they could be ripping you off. Many of the bottles were taken because they were infested with fruit flies, but investigator Caroline Wilichoski showed us a bottle of Kettle One vodka that was of particular concern. "This particular bottle we found opened in the bar area and the fill level is higher than when it comes from the distributor," she said.
That is a concern because the state got a complaint from a former bartender that The Joshua Tree was pouring cheap liquor into top shelf bottles. "We were told to marry the cheaper stuff into more expensive stuff to help bring down the costs," said former bartender Dan Quintino.

Korean navies exchange fire in disputed waters
Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- North and South Korea said their naval forces clashed Tuesday in disputed waters, and each blamed the other for what is the first such violent incident in seven years.
South Korean Rear Adm. Lee Ki Sik said the nation's forces issued three verbal warnings to a ship from the Communist north once it had crossed a demarcation line late Tuesday morning.
The South Koreans then fired a warning shot, but when the North Korean vessel continued southward, the South Koreans opened fire. Lee said the North Koreans returned fire before heading back, their ship damaged in the exchange.

Not to worry, Sammy Sosa is just rejuvenating his skin
According to a friend of Sosa's, the former Cubs slugger is (thankfully) not suffering from Vitiligo or another type of disease. Sosa's appearance, rather, is a result of an elective "rejuvenation process" for his skin and he was apparently "surprised" when he came out looking whiter than his old home run buddy, Mark McGwire.

Sources tell Eyewitness News that the suspect's mother tipped off police to her son's whereabouts at the Hollowbrook Apartment unit where he was located.Police Chief Val Demings says Rodriguez surrendered to police at his mother's home after officers saw him through a window and asked him to come out.
"Why'd you do it," WFTV reporter George Spencer asked Rodriguez as he was led into the Orlando Police Department (watch raw video).
