Rescuers searching for a Brazilian priest who was attempting a world ballooning record have found a cluster of his brightly coloured inflatables floating miles out to sea - but no sign of the missing man.
The Roman Catholic priest took off on Sunday strapped to 1,000 helium-filled party balloons in a bid to break a 19-hour flight record and raise money to build a spiritual rest-stop for truckers in Paranagua, southern Brazil.
Emergency services spotted the balloons last night, raising hopes that Father Adelir Antonio di Carli would be found clinging to them, but crews were disappointed when they reached the multi-coloured debris in shark-infested waters.

DENVER – The Colorado parents who reported their 6-year-old son floated away aboard a helium balloon will plead guilty to some charges in an attempt to keep the family together, the attorney for the boy's father said Thursday.
Richard Heene will plead guilty to attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, his attorney David Lane said. Mayumi Heene — a Japanese citizen who could have been deported if convicted of more serious charges — will plead guilty to false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor, he said.

Colorado sheriff: Runaway balloon saga was hoax
Experimental Balloon Takes Flight Purportedly With Boy Aboard
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A sheriff says a Colorado couple's report that their 6-year-old son was in a balloon that was hurtling away from their home was a publicity stunt.
Sheriff Jim Alderden says Richard and Mayumi Heene "put on a very good show for us, and we bought it."

Affidavit: Mom told deputies balloon saga was hoax
Police Accuse Parents Of "Balloon Boy" Of Perpetrating Hoax
By DAN ELLIOTT
DENVER – The mother of the 6-year-old boy once feared missing inside a runaway helium balloon admitted the whole saga was a hoax, according to court documents released Friday.
Mayumi Heene told sheriff's deputies that she and her husband Richard "knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence" in Fort Collins, according to an affidavit used to get a search warrant for the home.
She allegedly told investigators the incident was a hoax meant to make them more marketable to the media.

Obama’s Moral-Leadership Balloon Crashes
Realpolitik and misplaced faith in diplomacy keeps trumping human rights.
By Mona Charen

Authorities were trying to determine Thursday how to safely bring down a 6-year-old boy who reportedly clambered into his family's experimental balloon-powered aircraft and floated away from home, sheriff's officials said.
The Larimer County Sheriff's Department said the boy's family had been building an experimental aircraft that had a large helium balloon attached to it at their home, KUSA-TV reported. The aircraft was approximately 20 feet by 5 feet and covered in tin foil, the station said.

A year after an unruly crowd trampled a worker to death at a Wal-Mart store, the nation’s retailers are preparing for another Black Friday, the blockbuster shopping day after Thanksgiving. Along with offering $300 laptops and $99 navigation devices, stores are planning new safety measures to make sure the festive day does not take another deadly turn.
Last year, frenzied shoppers at a Wal-Mart in Valley Stream, N.Y., trampled Jdimytai Damour, a temporary store worker who died soon afterward.
