Two Little League World Series Players Got Caught Looking at Huge Boobs

During the Little League World Series last Wednesday, some players from Texas were sitting in the outfield, when one kid showed one of his teammates a picture on his phone.

The other kid was transfixed by the photo, which isn't surprising, since it was a picture of a woman with HUGE BOOBS. (!!!) The woman WAS clothed, which is a good thing, since the moment was captured on live TV.

Watching some of the Little League World Series, cameras pan to the outfield to a team that played earlier, the kids do not realize we can see their phone screen.

Paris just dropped the speed limit to 30kph / 19mph and nearly halved the available parking.

I bet that's gonna go over well....

Paris slams on the brakes and sets 30 kph speed limit to reduce pollution

Authorities in the French capital of Paris are forcing drivers to slow down, setting a speed limit on almost all the city's roads, in a bid to reduce pollution and improve road safety.

But will it work? There are questions over whether the rule -- which limits drivers to 30 kilometers per hour (19 miles per hour) -- will actually reduce pollution. Some critics say it will worsen the city's rush-hour traffic jams and could even increase greenhouse gas emissions.

That will depend partly on whether drivers get so fed up with the speed limit that they choose to commute in other ways.

To further dissuade drivers from taking vehicles into the city, authorities are also getting rid of 60,000 of the Paris' 144,000 parking spaces on public roads to make them "more accessible to everyone," and will better utilize underground parking. Some sidewalks will be widened -- allowing more walking space, as well as trees and plants -- and new cycle lanes will be installed.

According to a poll by the Parisian City Hall, 59% of the city's residents were in favor of the new limit, which came into effect on Monday, but opposition was much higher in the wider Île-de-France region, at 61%.

A delivery driver stuck in traffic on Monday said that the change had been "terrible."
"With deliveries, it's terrible. We don't have time. I was in traffic jams everywhere. We don't have time," he told CNN affiliate BFMTV, which did not name him.

Another driver said it was as if car drivers were traveling on "electric scooters," calling the rule "crazy."

A cyclists rides by congested traffic along the Seine River in Paris.

Parisian Deputy Mayor David Belliard, who is responsible for transport, told BFMTV that the hope was the limit would put more people off driving altogether and encourage more walking, use of public transport and bikes.

On Sunday, he posted a tweet to deflect online criticism of the new rule.

"A friendly clarification of what those who oppose lowering the speed limit are saying: NO, a speed limit of 30km/h doesn't increase pollution ... But actually improves safety for cyclists and pedestrians, reduces noise and makes the city calm," he wrote.

City Hall officials said that the change would reduce total road accidents by an estimated 25% and fatal accidents by 40%, pointing to a World Health Organization study.

Noise pollution will also halve, they estimate, saying that traffic noise had negative physical and psychological impacts, including stress, insomnia and depression.

The rule change follows a public consultation held in October and November 2020, involving more than 5,700 people.

Officials: West Glacier Cyclist Collided with Bear Before Fatal Attack

A 38-year-old West Glacier man was riding his mountain bike at a high speed along a narrow forest trail when he collided with a bear, leading to a fatal attack earlier this week, according to a preliminary investigation by Montana wildlife officials.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks on Saturday released initial details of the June 29 bear attack that occurred in a section of Flathead National Forest south of Glacier National Park.

Brad Treat, 38, of West Glacier, was killed while mountain biking on the Green Gate/Half Moon trail system. Treat grew up in the Flathead Valley and graduated from Flathead High School in 1996.

Wildlife response team investigator Brian Sommers says he believes Treat was riding at a high rate of speed on a narrow trail when he collided with the bear that then attacked him. A family member who was biking with Treat was not attacked and was able to summon help.

“Sight visibility at the location of the collision is very limited and the collision was unavoidable,” FWP officials said in a press release Saturday. “The bear reacted which led to the attack.”

Three days after the fatal mauling, the search for the animal is winding down, although the investigation is continuing. John Fraley, FWP spokesperson, said officials were removing bear traps and cameras from the forested area near West Glacier.

Authorities initially identified the bear as a grizzly, but state wildlife managers have collected DNA samples from the scene to officially confirm whether it was a grizzly bear or black bear.

Treat, a law enforcement officer with the U.S. Forest Service in the Hungry Horse District, was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was transported out by an off-highway vehicle and was taken to the Montana State Crime Lab in Missoula. Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry said an autopsy would be conducted to gather information about the bear that killed Treat.

The Green Gate/Halfmoon trail system off U.S. 2 remains closed and posted by U.S. Forest Service officials in the interest of public safety. Forest Service roads closed in that area include Pack Trail, Hog Haven, Belton Point Road, Halfmoon Lake Road, Belton Ski Course and Ryan Road. Landowners in the area are exempt from the road closures, although everyone is reminded to use caution while traveling through the area.

In fall 2015, a black bear fatally attacked an elderly woman in her home near Kalispell. Barbara Paschke, 85, died Oct. 1 from injuries she suffered during a black bear attack inside her Ashley Lake home on Sept. 27. According to FWP, Paschke had been providing supplemental feed to bears and was previously cited in 2012. Wildlife managers suspended the search after failing to locate the animal.

If the attacking bear is identified as a grizzly, it would be the first fatal grizzly attack in Northwest Montana since 2001, when an elk hunter was killed on the Blackfoot Clearwater Game Range near Ovando.

Grizzly bear attacks are rare in the Glacier region but not unheard of. Since Glacier National Park was created in 1910, there have been 10 fatal grizzly attacks in the national park, the most recent in May 1998 when a 26-year-old man was killed hiking in the Upper Two Medicine Valley.

Northwest Montana is home to the largest grizzly bear population in the lower 48 states with approximately 1,000 bears living in the region. Grizzlies are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
