An arrest report made public Monday also shows that the suspect, Bryan Devonte Clay, told police he owned a baseball cap found after a separate sex attack on a 50-year-old woman hours before the family was assaulted April 15.

Eliodoro Soria Fonseca admitted in San Diego federal court that he intentionally concealed the iguana meat inside several coolers because he lacked the necessary import permits from the U.S. or Mexican governments. The meat was to be sold for human consumption, prosecutors said.

Importation of iguana meat is permitted but only under restrictions meant to keep from depleting certain populations of the of the lizard. The iguana is listed as imperiled but not yet endangered, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The iguanas had been beheaded, skinned and deboned and hidden under several pounds of fish, according to court documents.

Fonseca admitted that the iguanas came from the Nyarit area of Mexico. A wildlife expert told the court that removing more than 100 iguanas from the region could wipe out the local population.

Iguana meat also often carries salmonella, officials said. Fonseca was arrested attempting to cross the border at Otay Mesa on June 10, 2011.

After initially trying to bring the fight to Sao Paulo, the UFC opted instead to relocate the epic encounter to the Joao Havelenge Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, making the contest the main event of UFC 147 on June 23.

At a press conference on Tuesday morning in Brazil, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the rumors are true: Silva and Sonnen will now face off as the main event of UFC 148 on July seventh in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Citing numerous challenges, but not going into specifics, White reiterated that is was the aim of the UFC to host the event in Brazil, but it was just not feasible.

The rest of the fights announced for the June 23 UFC 147 fight card are moving forward as planned, though a venue has not yet been secured.

The General Services Administration, often referred to as the government’s personal shopper, blew $822,000 flying 300 of its employees to Las Vegas for a four-day bonding experience that included a clown, a mind-reader and $7,000 worth of sushi.

Members of the Secret Service, sent to Cartagena, Colombia, to secure the recovering drug kingdom for a presidential visit, spent their downtime drinking and visiting strip clubs and, at the end of the evening, they got to bring hookers back to the hotel as souvenirs.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has spent $860,000 — or a little more than it takes the GSA to throw itself a party — to commute to his ranch in California in the flying command post he is required to travel in, post-Sept. 11.

And, closer to home, members of the Maryland General Assembly, held hostage by Senate President Mike Miller’s desire for a casino in his county, may ultimately have to return to Annapolis for a special session to complete its business, and taxpayers will be paying $20,000 a day for their room and board.

This is a lot to swallow if you were looking under the couch cushions for the money to pay your taxes this year, or if you find that there is always month left over at the end of the money when it is time to pay the bills.

And it makes me feel like a sap.

It isn’t just about government waste. I remember the days of the Pentagon’s $500 hammers and $600 toilet seats. Everything costs more when the government does it. I was resigned to that.

And I am not resentful because I don’t get to go to Las Vegas for four days and sit in a hot tub and drink wine, or go to South America on “business.”

I just don’t like being played for a fool.

Didn’t somebody in the GSA — perhaps the mind-reader they hired? — figure out that somebody was going to talk out of school after a such a junket?

Did it occur to GSA administrator and party-planner Jeff Neely that someone might leak his email, which read, “I know I’m bad. But why not enjoy it while we can? It ain’t gonna last for ever”?

(Even the Las Vegas visitors bureau seemed embarrassed by this extravagant event and asked future revelers to “visit responsibly,” much like the liquor ads that ask you to “drink responsibly.”)

“How are you doing now?” medical technician Debra Lund asked.

Dalia looked at Lund, swaying with the gentle rocking of a bus named Hangover Heaven as it rolled down Las Vegas Boulevard. Lund checked an intravenous fluid bag, hung from the ceiling, dripping a saline and vitamin solution into Dalia’s left arm.

“Better,” he replied. “My palms aren’t sweating anymore. I don’t have that, like, cold sweat feeling anymore.”

Dalia, from Caldwell, N.J., was one of the first patients on the rollout day of a mobile treatment center for tourists who spent the night before drinking in all the nightlife Las Vegas has to offer. For a fee, they get a quick morning-after way to rehydrate, rejuvenate and resume their revelry.

“I’m starting to feel great,” Dalia said. “This is really very cool.”

Doctor and board-certified anesthesiologist Jason Burke calls his fledgling business a medical practice on wheels, analogous to a physician with an RV offering X-rays, MRIs or mammograms, a mobile dentist, or a blood bank bus set up in an office building parking lot.

The idea, Burke said, is to bring relief to tourists with stomach-churning wooziness, headaches and body pains — symptoms that could ruin an entire day in Sin City.

“Many people come to Las Vegas with the intent to drink and have a good time,” Burke said as he moved between patients seated on plush benches in the retrofitted, full-sized tour bus. The casino scenery passing outside the windows, the flat-screen TVs, the ceiling mirror and the aide in the suggestive nurse outfit? Hey, it’s Vegas.

Northern Nevada also posted slight drops. Reno’s jobless rate is 12 percent, down from 12.2 percent, and Carson City’s rate is 12.4 percent, down from 12.6 percent.

State economist Bill Anderson say most of the decline comes from erosion in the labor force as discouraged workers drop out of the job force.

But he notes that the state added a seasonally adjusted 5,000 jobs from month to month, which is more than expected.

Nevada’s unemployment remains higher than the national rate of 8.2 percent.

Carlos Vargas, 22, was arrested by Las Vegas police Wednesday on murder and robbery charges. On Tuesday, Carlos Garcia, 30, was booked on similar charges.

Manuel Torres-Garcia was shot about 7 a.m. at the intersection of Vista Del Monte Drive and Hidalgo Way, near Nellis Boulevard and Desert Inn Road. He was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he died.

Police said Torres-Garcia and another man were standing near the street when a blue sedan stopped. Garcia and Vargas, who both had guns, exited the car and robbed the men. Garcia then shot Torres-Garcia. Garcia and Vargas then drove away.

One way is to team up with MGM Resorts to give Ameristar customers a chance to visit Las Vegas in discounted or complimentary rooms. The other is a $7 million hotel upgrade, with some customer service twists.

Let’s take the MGM Resorts joint venture first. Ameristar is a robust casino company with properties in Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Colorado and Nevada, but with no Las Vegas presence.

Now Ameristar has a vehicle to offer Las Vegas stays to its Star Awards members. The exact offer will depend on the player’s tier level based on how much he or she plays while using a Star Awards card. Hotel stays are available at any of MGM’s nine M Life properties on the Strip — Aria, Bellagio, Luxor MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, Monte Carlo, the Mirage and New York-New York.

Both companies benefit. MGM will get extra customers from the Chicago area, and Ameristar will get access to MGM’s list of M Life members in the region. That means a chance to market directly to local players who aren’t already Ameristar customers.

On the hotel side, Ameristar spent $7 million over a five-month period to refurbish and upgrade its rooms. It’s a top-to-bottom revamp of the hotel that runs at 94 percent occupancy of its 288 rooms. From furniture to bathroom fixtures and artwork on the walls to the new flat-screen hi-def TVs, all was designed to give a comfortable, upscale feel.

The twists? Ameristar has added a few extras to make the rooms more than comfortable places to sleep. In-room Wi-Fi, extra electrical outlets for easy charges of mobile devices and HDTV with dozens of channels represent a change from conventional wisdom. Casino operators long have been wary of giving the customer too much to do in the room, lest they cut back their time on the casino floor.

I cornered Marc Levin, the hotel’s vice president of hospitality, and asked him about the philosophy. He recalled a previous operator.

“We didn’t have Wi-Fi, and I said ‘You have to have Wi-Fi, you have to have the Internet.’ But that was the philosophy of the time. They didn’t want the guests in the rooms. But guests still want the comforts of home.”

According to a FOX5 source, a 9-year-old student at Mabel Hoggard Elementary came to school and told adults his father had killed his mother and sister.

The House Oversight Committee hearing, the first on the spending scandal, will also look to the culture at the agency to “make sure this doesn’t happen again,” Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said.

“What often happens is, an (inspector general) does their job, perhaps some people are held accountable, but the culture doesn’t change,” Issa said. It must be clear that there is “zero tolerance for this” and that the culture will be changed, he said.
