Hawk that attacked bald men is adopted by a bald man
A Harris Hawk that attacked bald men in a village has been adopted by a bald man. The bird of prey, nicknamed 'Bomber Harris', attacked over 50 people in Flamstead, Hertfordshire, during a four-week reign of terror in March. A falconer who helped trap the hawk previously told The Telegraph the bird 'saw bald men' and attacked them because it was 'hormonal'. But the bird has now been adopted by Wayne Housden, a falconer who has recently had a buzz cut. The 58-year-old village warden told The Telegraph that Bomber had changed – pointing to the fact he could shave his head without fear of attack. 'If you looked at me now, you'd say, 'he's bald',' Mr Housden said. 'I'm not worried about him. I've shaved my head and, when I shaved it, it was to the bone. 'But I go into his aviary and he doesn't attack me.' Mr Housden, who lives near Flamstead, described his new friend as 'really tame', adding: 'He wasn't terrible. He was more scared than anything when he was caught. 'I can kiss him on the head. He nibbles around my neck and on my chin... He's so friendly to me. He's obsessed with me.' For four weeks last year Flamstead ground to a halt. Postmen stopped delivering mail, fearful scaffolders left work unfinished and villagers would not dare leave their homes without a hat, umbrella or hooded coat to protect themselves. The siege was finally brought to an end when Steve Harris, 40, threw a cage over the bird after it followed him into his back garden. The physiotherapist and father-of-two, who had been returning from a run, told The Telegraph that he and his children had not been in their garden for 'weeks and weeks' because of the attacks. Credit: BBC/Roy Lambden Mr Housden, who also owns another falcon, said that he had decided to adopt the bird after the police contacted him for help. Bomber is now housed in a new £1,000 aviary which was built by Mr Housden. The falconer said the idea that the bird might attack someone again was 'always in the back of your head' but added that 'he's got to go loose'. He said that he has already started taking Bomber on excursions, including a visit to his friend's house. 'He's calmed down', Mr Housden added. 'He needed to calm down.' Asked whether he thought the bird was misunderstood, he said: 'Yes he was. 'He's going to be going to a scarecrow festival in Flamstead and he will end up meeting everyone that he's hit on the head, so they will all see how he's changed.'

Howie Mandel hails Simon Cowell for 'changing lives'
Howie Mandel believes Simon Cowell is responsible for "changing more lives than any one idea on television". The 69-year-old actor has served as a judge on 'America's Got Talent' since 2010, and Howie is full of admiration for Simon, the show's creator. Howie told People: "Every time somebody gets a golden buzzer or somebody wins something or somebody gets an opportunity and you see them fall to their knees and cry and their family joins them on stage and you know their life is never going to be the same, I run over to his seat behind him. "And I go, 'You did this, buddy. You came up with an idea. A lot of us come up with ideas and we want to do TV shows and we want to entertain and we want to get a laugh, but your idea is changing more lives than any one idea on television.'" 'America's Got Talent' launched almost 20 years ago, and Howie is looking forward to celebrating the milestone. He said: "I think that each season kind of raises the bar just by people being inspired by what they saw the season before. "But, then again, being a 20th anniversary, people are very celebratory. They know it's a special year and they're doing special things." Last year, Simon admitted to being surprised by the longevity of 'America's Got Talent'. The 65-year-old music mogul launched the hit TV show back in 2006, and he's been amazed by the enduring popularity of the format. Speaking to 'Extra' about the first season of the show, Simon shared: "Thank god it did well. "Now we are here, 20 years later and now … you get people ... flying in from all over the world. "They only get two minutes, remember that, you're gonna fly 16 hours and you've got two minutes and you don't know what's going to happen. But we are seeing things that we've genuinely never seen before." Simon has enjoyed huge success with various TV talent shows in the US and the UK, and he remains as ambitious as ever. Asked if he plans to create another reality competition show, Simon replied: "Am I? Yes."

Suburban man brings history back to life with 75-foot WWII aircraft
MARENGO, Ill. (WGN) — Every small town has its dreamer, and along the quiet farm-lined roads of Marengo, Illinois, that dreamer is Mike Kellner. For 40 years, he has been working away in a barn to bring a ghost back to life. The ghost is a 75-foot-long, gleaming aluminum WWII warbird known as the B-17. 'It's a piece of history and I would like to have the opportunity to fly it,' Kellner said. The fact that it's here in his barn is just about as unbelievable as the story of how it came to be. The plane was found in a junkyard in Maine in 1984. It was listed as 'Old Bomber. $7,000 or best offer.' More on Kellner's project on his Facebook page 'We took an old house trailer, took the house off of it, added 10 feet on it and pulled it with a pickup truck,' Kellner said. It took five trips and 39 more years to piece her back, panel by panel, rivet by rivet. The B-17—a nostalgic vessel of the past. 'We found a bunch of dental record in one of the spar tubes cause this was being used as a litter carrier,' Kellner said. 'In the horizontals there were two women wrote their names, address and phone number.' Word spread about Kellner's barn project and folks started to show up, including a retired airplane mechanic whose uncle manned a turret and a relative who was a P.O.W. in Germany. They came with stories, tools, time and reverence. An estimated 50,000 U.S. airman were lost or missing in action on B-17 missions—with many more wounded. But even when the donation jar is long dried up and the hunt for parts elusive, Kellner continues on—piecing the plane back together so one day, she can tip her wings to the sky, and to the stories that ended up in the clouds.
