Lindsay Lohan charged with assault in NYC

Lindsay Lohan was arrested this morning and charged with third-degree assault after a fight at a nightclub in the Chelsea section of New York City, police said.

The 26-year-old actress was arrested on the misdemeanor charge after she allegedly struck a woman at Club Avenue on 10th Avenue and 17th street at around 4 a.m. this morning. She was taken to New York's 10th precinct and received a desk appearance ticket, police told ABCNews.com. She was seen leaving the courtroom just after 7:30 a.m.

Lohan allegedly assaulted the woman during a dispute that escalated. The actress, a regular at the club, was banned from the establishment earlier this year following an incident in which she Tweeted that Justin Timberlake was seeing another woman at the club when he was dating Jessica Biel, WABC reported.

Thursday's arrest follows Lohan's previous arrest in September outside a nearby nightclub inside the Dream Hotel, when a pedestrian claimed the starlet hit him with her car and did not stop. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute that case.

In late September Lohan was also involved in a hotel-room quarrel that began over a set of cell phone photos allegedly taken by a part time Congressional aide. After Lohan claimed the aide, Christian LaBella, had assaulted her, he was arrested, but the misdemeanor charges against him were later dropped.

On Sunday Lohan's Lifetime film "Liz & Dick," in which she portrays Elizabeth Taylor, premiered, and was watched by 3.5 million viewers, receiving scathing reviews. The film was positioned as the actress' comeback following years of trouble with the law.

While living in Los Angeles, the actress was incarcerated six times, but spent less than a total of two weeks behind bars. Last year she also spent 35 days under house arrest after pleading no contest to stealing a $2,500 necklace.

In March, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner took Lohan off probation from a 2007 DUI case. Over the past five years, the actress has been in and out of rehab five times as she has battled drug and alcohol problems.

Syrian Man Helps Disaster Relief Organization Distribute Aid to Fellow Refugees in Iraq

After fleeing the military he was forced to join two years ago, a Syrian man has become invaluable to the volunteers from international disaster relief organization, ShelterBox, as they delivered aid to thousands of other refugees living in the Domiz camp in Iraq Kurdistan.

Sarasota, Florida (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

After fleeing the military he was forced to join two years ago, a Syrian man has become invaluable to the volunteers from international disaster relief organization, ShelterBox, as they delivered aid to thousands of other refugees living in the Domiz camp in Iraq Kurdistan.

ShelterBox responds immediately to disasters such as earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict, by delivering boxes of aid. Each box includes a disaster relief tent, water purification kit, cook-stoves, blankets and other supplies that help families survive and rebuild their lives in the days, weeks or months following disaster.

Members of the highly trained ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) were delivering boxes of winterized shelter and supplies to families living in the camp when they met Abdullah, a man who fled the Syrian Army after being forced to fight his own people.

David Webber, an SRT member from the UK, said they first met Abdullah when they were setting up the first shipment of tents. He noticed that Abdullah spoke English quite well, and asked if he would act as the SRT?s guide and translator during their deployment.

?Without [Abdullah], our work here would not have been as quick and efficient ? we now have 500 tents set up, bringing shelter, warmth and dignity to families,? Webber said.

Abdullah was taken from his home in Qamishli, Syria, in October 2010. He was forced to quit studying English at the University of Aleppo and instead join the soldiers fighting for President Bashar al-Assad.

In June 2012, he escaped the growing violence between military troops and rebel fighters when he crossed the border into Iraq. He has since been living in the Domiz camp with his aunt, uncle, nieces and nephews.

?Meeting [volunteers] from ShelterBox has been amazing for all of us here,? Abdullah said. ?Not only do I have work to provide for my family here, but we are also helping my people who are in desperate need by bringing them what's most important to them at this time ? safety and hope.?

ShelterBox is also responding in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in Haiti, to earthquakes in Guatemala, and extensive flooding in Nigeria, Senegal and Uganda.

Ghost Prank Terrifies Elevator Riders in Brazil

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The ageing New York Yankees, struggling to inject youth into their roster, appear poised to sign two of their evergreen core members for one more go-round in a drive for a sixth World Series ring since 1996. Left-handed starting pitcher Andy Pettitte, 40, and all-time Major League Baseball saves leader Mariano Rivera, who turns 43 on Thursday, are reportedly on the verge of signing deals for one last campaign. Those pitchers could well be effective in 2013. Pettitte returned from a one-year retirement last season to go 5-4 with an impressive 2. ...

Venezuela's Chavez heads to Cuba for medical treatment

CARACAS (Reuters) - Following a nearly two-week absence from the public eye, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will travel to Cuba on Tuesday for medical treatment, months after he underwent chemotherapy and radiation for cancer there.

Chavez, 58, staged what appeared to be a remarkable comeback from an undisclosed type of cancer diagnosed in June 2011, and traveled frequently to Cuba for chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the subsequent months.

In October, he was re-elected for a third term.

Venezuela's Congress on Tuesday gave him permission to return to the Communist-run island for additional medical treatment.

"Six months after I completed the last radiation therapy treatment, it has been recommended that I begin a special treatment consisting of various sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation," Chavez wrote in a letter to the legislature read by congressional leader Diosdado Cabello, a Chavez ally.

"Together with physical therapy, (this) will consolidate the process of strengthening my health."

Hyperbaric oxygenation involves breathing pure oxygen while in a pressurized chamber, according to the American Cancer Society.

Cabello made no mention of cancer.
