SeaWorld puts Tilikum the whale who killed his trainer back on show

He has been involved in the deaths of three people, but today Tilikum the killer whale will resume public performances at SeaWorld. The six-tonne whale has not appeared in a show at the Orlando marine park since he killed his trainer more than a year ago. Tilikum is due to appear in an 11.30am performance of ‘Believe,’ the company’s main killer-whale show, according to the Orlando Sentinel.  SeaWorld said that including the whale in shows is important for the animal’s health and husbandry. ‘Participating in shows is just a portion of Tilikum’s day, but we feel it is an important component of his physical, social and mental enrichment,’ Kelly Flaherty-Clark, SeaWorld Orlando’s animal training curator, said in a prepared statement. The 22-foot-long animal, twice as big as any of the Orlando park’s other six performing whales and a prolific sire of baby whales in captivity. Read more: Daily Mail

Beyonce’s Father, Mathew Knowles, No Longer Her Manager

Beyonce will no longer be managed by her father, Mathew Knowles, her publicist said Monday. The Grammy-winning singer and her father have parted ways “on a business level,” publicist Yvette Noel-Schure told The Associated Press in a statement. “I am grateful for everything he has taught me,” Beyonce said in the statement. “I grew up watching both he and my mother manage and own their own businesses. They were hardworking entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps.” She didn’t say what led to the split, but her father said in a separate statement to the AP late Monday that the decision was mutual. Knowles has managed his daughter since she debuted as a teen in the multiplatinum-selling group Destiny’s Child in the late 1990s and throughout her superstar career as a solo artist.Read more: HuffPost

Barry Bonds ‘threatened to tear out my breast implants’

The former mistress of embattled home run champion Barry Bonds gave an explicit testimony today, stating that the ball player’s body changed shape and his mood shifted during their relationship – all evidence that prosecutors are saying is a result of steroid abuse. An often tearful Kimberly Bell told the U.S. District Court in San Francisco that Bonds threatened ‘to cut my head off and leave me in a ditch,’ and that during their nine-year relationship he suffered from impotence, hair loss and acne, which are all known side effects of steroid use. She also said that Bonds threatened to ‘tear out my breast implants because he had paid for them.’ Bell told the court that Bonds admitted to her that he was using steroids when she asked him about an injury to his elbow. ‘He said it was because of the steroids, because it somehow caused the muscle and tendons to grow faster than the joint could handle, it sort of blew out,’ Bell said on Monday.

Supreme Court must turn away crazy request

Tens of millions of dollars are at stake in a potential class-action suit against Wal-Mart when the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a gender discrimination case Tuesday. According to CNN, one of the original plaintiffs in 2001 when the case was first filed, Christine Kwapnoski, said she was paid less than her male counterparts and told by her general manager to “doll up.” Large companies like Microsoft and Bank of America are backing Wal-Mart’s move to stop the class-action suit. Though a decision isn’t expected from justices until June, the outcome will be significant either way. Wal-Mart could face payouts to as many as 1.5 million past and current employees.

U.S. Responsibility to Oppose Khaddafy

President Obama outlined his case Monday for why America intervened in Libya, saying in a nearly 30-minute TV address that Col. Moammar Khaddafy was a “tyrant” who would have “stained the conscience of the world” if allowed to massacre his people in Benghazi. “We have stopped Khaddafy’s deadly advance,” Obama said, adding that NATO would take command of operations on Wednesday. Obama warned the Libyan leader that “history is not on Khaddafy’s side.” In addressing critics who had accused him of dithering, Obama said it took 31 days to assemble an international coalition, much faster than the one-year of negotiations it took to stop genocide in Bosnia. Obama said his coalition would crumble if he expanded the mission to include regime change and the U.S couldn’t afford it in lost blood and treasure either. “To be blunt, we went down that road in Iraq,” he said.

Gov. Scott’s drug testing order

How much do Florida taxpayers have a right to know about public employees? By signing an executive order last week that requires drug testing for many current state workers and job applicants, Gov. Rick Scott is betting the public is entitled to know a lot. Legal scholars say the governor has overreached, and that his order contradicts what many consider to be settled law regarding drug-testing of government employees. Both sides appear headed for a legal showdown. Scott has defended the order as a policy the public wants, and a protection the state should have — similar to private employers. “It’s the right policy, public policy,’’ Scott told reporters.But federal courts generally have ruled that such policies violate the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches, say attorneys and legal scholars.
