ANCHORAGE ALASKA
An Alaska woman was convicted Tuesday of misdemeanor child abuse after squirting hot sauce into the mouth of her adopted Russian son as punishment in what prosecutors said was a ploy to give on the "Dr. Phil" TV show.
Prosecutors also said defendant Jessica Beaulay, 36, of Anchorage made the 7-year-old boy stand in a cold shower when he misbehaved. Both actions were recorded on video tape.
Neither Beagley nor her husband Gary Beagley, an Anchorage police officer, showed any emotion when the seven-person jury announced its decision. The couple walked quickly from the courtroom and down a set of stairs without responding to questions from reporters.

A student protest leader in Chile now has police protection after receiveth death threats by Twitter
THESSALONIKI. GREECE
It took an undercover operation, but Greek police have blown a hole in a ring of alleged crooks who had cornered the doughnut market in a beach resort.
Camila Vallejo is president of the University of Chile's student federation. She has repeatedly used Twitter to mobilize huge marches for education reform.
But she also has received death threats through social networks — including a message from a high-ranking culture ministry official who invoked the infamous phrase Gen. Augusto Pinochet used while topping President Salvador Alencade in 1973. Pinochet was recorded telling his troops: "If you kill the bitch, you do away with the litter."
Chile's Supreme Court ordered police to protect Vallejo and her parents. The court also sanctioned the official who sent the message.
It started with complaints that two Bulgarian men and a former Greek wrestling champion were using violence to choke off the trade by other doughnut vendors on Paliouri beach in the Halkidiki peninsula near Thessalonikis.
So an undercover officer posed as a doughnut seller, police said Tuesday, and he was attacked, leading to the arrest of the three aggressive doughnut sellers.
As a result, they have been charged with black mail and fraud.
NAIROBI, KENYA
Odette Kayirene's life was turned upside down when a militia captured and killed her husband during Rwanda's 1994 genocide.
One year later, Kayirere and 50 other widows of the genocide started AVEGA Agahozo, an association that helps female genocide survivors rebuild their lives by overcoming the trauma of rape, losing loved ones and being a witness to gruesome killings.
She said Tuesday that the group can now expand its reach with a $500,000 cash prize awarded in June by an American foundation. AVEGA Agahozo now provides services across the country and includes among its members more than 20,000 widows and more than 71,000 dependents and orphans.

University to offer renewable scholarships in 2012

According to the new website, affordabilityku.edu, the University will offer scholarships based on ACT or SAT scores and high school GPAs. Kansas resident renewable scholarships will range from $4,000 to $40,000 over four years, and nonresident scholarships will range
The University of Kansas will be offering a new package of renewable four-year scholarships next fall to incoming freshmen and transfer students.

In an Aug. 15 news release, the University said it will "automatically award students renewable scholarships according to their academic performance."
Wagner said she chose the University over an out-of-state school because of its affordability.
According to the website, students will have to maintain a GPA above 3.4 and complete 30 credit hours per year in order to renew the scholarships.
Jack Martin, the University's Director of Strategic Communications said the new system is designed to be more streamlined by allowing students to automatically re-apply for scholarships rather than filling out separate applications later in their college career.
"It's designed to help us recruit additional talented students to KU and provide predictability for them
and their families," Martin said.
Miranda Wagner, a freshman from Shawnee, came to the University after receiving the Watkins-Berger Scholarship, which awards $18,000 over four years.
Wagner said that if she had come to the University next year as a freshman, she would have received an additional $500 per semester through the renewable Chancellor Scholarship.
"it's just by chance that I'm not going to get additional money," she said. "But, I'm trying to appreciate what the University is doing, even if I won't benefit from it."
Martin wants to remind current students, who won't be able to use the new, streamlined scholarship program, to contact the University.
"We always encourage students to talk to with the financial aid office to see what opportunities are available," Martin said. "There really are opportunities out there that you might not be aware of otherwise."
"The affordability is already a

draw for students," she said. "It's a great program to get in place, because the guidelines are so clear"
Wagner said she is doing her own research to find additional scholarships and financial aid.
