When Carey Price was pulled at home against the San Jose Sharks after the Montreal Canadiens fell behind 4-0 Friday night, he was noticeably upset and much attention was paid to the “glare” he gave to head coach Michel Therrien on his way out.

The episode drew (we assume) tongue-in-cheek comparisons to the infamous Patrick Roy meltdown that led to the legendary goalie’s trade out of Montreal.

It was the first time Price had been pulled in a game for non-injury reasons since October of 2014.

But fear not Habs fans, there is no controversy brewing here. After the game, which Montreal ended up losing 4-2, Michel Therrien namedPrice the starter for Saturday’s game against the Washington Capitals.

After Price was pulled, he headed down the hall and took a few minutes before returning to his seat where he remained for the rest of the second period. He was not on the bench during the third period.

Price declined to speak to the media after the game. For what it’s worth, none of the players nor the coach said they saw the “stare down.”

Braden Holtby is expected to start for the Capitals on Washington.

question, though. Why would Jones abort her Olympic qualifying spot to move to Ontario?

Unless she could bring at least 2 of her 4 players then she'd have to give up her qualifying spot at the trials. INTERESTING PROBLEM!

If jennifer was living in ontario , she could still play with her current team at the trials. There is no provincial restriction.

So, in this scenario she could team with Homan/Miskew in quest of an Ontario provincial title and still go to the Olympic trials with Askin/Officer/Lawes?

The only downside is not getting as many pre-olympic trial reps in with her trials team.... but not a huge problem as JJMedal Of Honor

Twelve Catalan leaders have been on trial in Spain’s supreme court since February 12, facing charges related to a failed independence drive in 2017, including rebellion and sedition. Among them are former members of the Catalan government, as well as the former speaker of the region’s parliament.

Nine of those on trial have also been in prison for several months in preventive custody. Several other pro-independence politicians, including former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, have avoided the Spanish judiciary by fleeing abroad.

Although the senators insist in their text that they are not taking sides on the issue of Catalan independence, they note that “this situationforward to finishing the season strong, then starting a new season in the playoffs."

the period from 1979 to 1981. Rice grains are extensively used as human food, constituting the principal food of almost one-half the human race. The leading rice producers are China, with 36 percent of world output in the early 1990s, and India, with 22 percent. In the United States, production averaged close to 7 million metric tons, with Arkansas, California, Louisiana, and Texas being the leading rice-producing states.
Rice puffing and, in general, cereal puffing (or cereal popping) methods are well established in the prior art. Generally, methods known in the art rely primarily on a moisture content in the grains for puffing. The moisture content can be varied by many processes, such as: drying, cooking, parboiling, and tempering. Examples of attempted improvements in processing methods are described inmanner which forms a snack product of considerable crispiness, lightness, and unique texture to both the mouth and eye.
According to one aspect of the invention, a puffed snack product comprises a puffed starch body having a generally regular perimetrical shape, and opposed upper and lower surfaces. At least one of the upper and lower surfaces has a substantially wavy contour such that it appears as though individual kernels of grain are joined to one another. It is preferred that the substantially wavy surface of the starch body comprises hills and valleys, noted by the rise and fall of the surface along a parallel plane.
In a preferred embodiment, the puffed snack product is comprised primarily of rice starch, but may further include puffed corn starch, puffed wheat starch, puffed


provided having inner surfaces and a chamber volume. A bulk amount of the food starch is placed into the puffing chamber. The bulk amount of food starch material is caused to volumetrically expand. The expanding food starch is constrained in its expansion in at least a first dimension, while permitting expansion of the bulk amount in at least a second dimension.
The step of constraining expansion may additionally include constraining expansion of the bulk amount in a third dimension. The constraining may achieve a defining of the general shape of the final product in the first dimension, or in both the first and third dimensions. The defined shape may be provided by, in one particular embodiment, constraining expansion with certain of the inner surfaces of the puffing chamber. Preferably,Pink Floyd Releasing New Album in November

A press release acknowledges that “The Endless River”, Pink Floyd’s new album, will be released on November 10, 2014. This is the first time in more than 20 years that this British rock n’ roll band has released any new material and fans are beyond thrilled.

The double-sided album is comprised of 18 songs, which feature band members, Nick Mason, David Gilmour, and Richard Wright who sadly passed away in 2008. Not included on the album is Roger Waters, who left Pink Floyd in 1985. According to people involved in the making of this new album, recorded material comes from 20 hours of music assembled during the 1993 sessions for “The Division Bell”.

According to Gilmour, new parts have been added to the material


and other parts were rerecorded. Overall, Pink Floyd took full advantage of modern technology to create a 21st century masterpiece. As with many of Pink Floyd’s songs, “The Endless River” consists primarily of instrumental music however, one song titled “Louder than Words” includes new lyrics and was written by Polly Samson, wife of Gilmour.

This English rock band originally formed in London but thanks to their psychedelic and progressive music style, achieved international acclaim within a short period of time. Pink Floyd’s style was unique to other music groups during the initial era because of the use of philosophical lyrics and sonic experimentation.

Their unique music coupled with over-the-top live shows made Pink Floyd one of the most commercially successful musical groups in history. The group was first founded in1965 and at that time, consisted of students, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Rogers Waters, and Syd Barrett.

Pink Floyd started off as an underground band but with Barrett’s creative leadership, two singles were released that made music charts. Following the singles, the group went on to release a debut album that received rave reviews.

In December of 1967, David Gilmour, a fifth band member joined Pink Floyd. One year later, Barrett left because of poor health, leaving Waters to become the main lyricist and devisor of concepts for “The Dark Side of the Moon”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “The Wall”, and “The Final Cut” albums.

In 1979, Wright left the group and then in 1985, Waters followed suit. Mason and Gilmour continued performing as Pink Floyd but eventually, Wright returned.


Pink Floyd was inducted into the United States Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and in 2005, the United Kingdom Music Hall of Fame. Overall, this amazing group has sold over 250 million records worldwide.

For a long time, Pink Floyd did not create albums or tour but in 2005, the members reunited for Live 8, a global awareness event. Over the years since, band members insisted there were no plans to make new music but thankfully, there was a change of heart with the making and release of “The Endless River”.of G.L.c. 278, §§ 33A-33G. The case is here on a summary of the record and a transcript of the evidence. The defendant filed three assignments of error, but has only argued two of them in his brief. The assignment of error not argued in his brief is deemed waived. Commonwealth v. Kleciak, 350 Mass. 679, 681.
On August 7, 1967, Daniel L. Delaney, then a corporal in the State police narcotics detail, made an application for a warrant to the District Court of Chelsea to search the "second floor apartment of a light brown wooden house situated and numbered 366 Vane St. Revere, Mass." The application for the warrant was supported by Delaney's affidavit. After the search warrant was issued, Delaney, accompanied by other State police officers, Officer


Abburizzi and Detective Michael Casoli of the Revere police, and Detective Robert Fawcett of the Boston police, searched the premises. As a result of the search the police discovered a brown paper bag which held a cardboard box containing fifty-six glassine bags containing white powder that later proved to be heroin, three razor blades, two syringe needles, several "[s]heets of glassine bags" identical to those in which the heroin was packaged and other equipment for processing heroin. In addition, Delaney found dolophine tablets in a drawer in the bedroom. On analysis these tablets "were found to contain Methadon [Dolophine] ... a narcotic drug, as defined in Chapter 94, Section 197." Detective Casoli also found a bag of white powder, analyzed as heroin, underneath the bathroom sink. The defendant... is currently considered the major source of the supply of Narcotics Marihuana Heroin and LSD/in the North Shore area." (2) On July 10, 1967, at two meetings with Delaney and another State police officer, "Ellis stated ... his home had been raided on 4 July 1967 by the Lynn Police in search of Narcotics, and ... he had outsmarted them having his Heroin and works behind the stove." (3) "Ellis denied that he was trafficking in Narcotics, and that his trips to New York were for the purpose of supplying himself" (emphasis supplied). He "stated that his habit was only slight and that he took off only twice a day, and that he was using the New York three dollar bags of Heroin which were selling for


ten dollars here, that being the main reason ... he went to New York." (4) Delaney and the other State police officer went to "further talk with Ellis" at his apartment at 146 Alley Street, Lynn. When they arrived they "found one Joseph E. Anderson a well known drug addict from the East Boston area in Ellis's apartment. Anderson was so high from the use of drugs that he could hardly talk." The next day, July 11, 1967, the "above officers ... arrested Anderson in the Day Square section of East Boston" after seeing Anderson complete a sale of heroin. After searching *577 Anderson they found "16 decks" of heroin. "[I]nformants working for the above officers revealed that Anderson was selling for Ellis." (5) On July 27, 1967,Lillis, supra, at 424. United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102, 108. In the instant case, much of the information supplied by the informants was corroborated by Delaney's personal observations and other circumstances described in the application, thereby providing a "substantial basis for crediting the hearsay." Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257, 272.
Delaney's meetings with and subsequent observations of *578 the defendant were neither isolated instances nor remote in time from the application for the warrant. A review of these events discloses a continuing pattern of behavior by the defendant, and continuous surveillance of the defendant by the police.
The affidavit also complies with the provisions of G.L.c. 276, § 2B, as amended through St. 1965, c. 384. It sets forth "facts, information and circumstances ... sufficient ...


Resources Minister Jim Carr noted last week that the policy faced huge opposition in Washington.

Carr made the comments following a series of meetings in the U.S. capital with lawmakers, administration officials and business people, who he said cast doubts on whether the import tax had any chance of passing in an upcoming omnibus tax bill.

'Extremely preliminary' assessments

The uncertainty surrounding a border tax has created significant concerns among Canadian companies, many of which rely heavily on exports to the U.S.

Morneau told his audience that the Canadian government had conducted "extremely preliminary" assessments on the potential economic impacts of a tax on U.S. imports.

"As you can imagine, there's too many hypotheticals to get to an answer that is absolutely clear in that regard," he said.

Canada's finance minister was speaking ata World Economic Forum event in New York 1:07

Morneau also hailed the strength of the countries' partnership and argued cross-border trade and investment have been "essentially" balanced over the years.

A border-adjustment tax, he warned, would raise prices for American consumers and could create currency issues with additional challenges of their own.

"Anything, from our perspective, that thickens our border is bad for Americans and bad for Canadians," said Morneau, who will visit Indiana on Tuesday to meet Gov. Eric Holcomb and business leaders and visit CN Rail's largest U.S. yard in the city of Gary.

‘Randy Writes A Novel’ was the kind of hilarity one has come to expect from such a seasoned comedian as puppet Randy but it may have surprised many with some of the deeper messages it slid in from time to time.

As part of the Wonderland Festival, the show made its Brisbane debut having been performed around the world even nabbing a nomination for Best Comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The show about Randy’s first novel and his writing process did not feature regular offsider Sammy J; just Randy stuck behind a desk with his manuscript resting on it and a little mood lighting. Whether his show entertained was all on him and this is where – as a professional comedian


– Randy shone. The Brisbane crowd came ready to be raucous already fired up on a Friday night and out for some laughs. What followed was the kind of high-wire comedy that is difficult to pull off.

Randy engaged the audience throughout, throwing questions out to attendees and engaging in conversations. At times people would call out and he would ask them to repeat themselves leaving no potential comedic stone unturned. It led to some of the biggest laughs of the night but Randy continued to challenge in many ways.

He set up a running gag of starting to read the manuscript and then finding something else to talk about, he would insist that he wasn’t going to lecture about being a vegan and then proceeded to mention some ofa torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, a broken hand and underwent shoulder surgery. Still, he had enough potential for the Jaguars to draft him in the second round in 2004.

Then in training camp in 2006, Jones tore an ACL in his left knee and missed that season. With a torn ACL in each knee, he’s been mostly a blocking back since.

He had 42 carries in 2007, two in 2008 and four last year. He finished both of the last two seasons on injured reserve with ankle injuries, though he played in 12 games in 2008 and 13 last year.

Abstract

The disposal of human excreta in latrines is an important step in reducing the transmission of diarrhoeal diseases. However, in latrines, flies can access the latrine contents and serve as a mechanical transmitter of diarrhoeal pathogens. Furthermore, the latrine contents can be used as a breeding site for flies, which may further contribute to disease transmission. Latrines do not all produce flies, and there are some which produce only a few, while others can produce thousands. In order to understand the role of the latrine

Latrine characteristics

Fifty latrines representing different design and management practices were purposively selected after consultation with village leaders and homeowners in order to monitor latrine fill-up and biodegradation. Householders responded to questionnaires about their latrines and other characteristics were recorded after inspection of the latrines. Characteristics of the latrines recorded included: the age, type of pit-lining (presence and type), floor type, wall type, roof (presence and type), type of latrine use (family or communal, and number of people using the latrine), usage of decomposing additives (usagelatrine suitable for fly trapping (n=42) was trapped once between July 7 and August 3, 2011.

Larvae collection

Larvae were sampled from pits by dipping a 100 ml ladle with a 1.3 m handle into the solid contents of the pit before setting the exit trap. One dip was taken from each latrine and was put into a plastic bag for transportation back to the laboratory. In the laboratory, each sample was weighed and all larvae were removed from the sample to be counted and weighed.

Data analysis

Data was entered into Excel spreadsheets, and analyzed using the Stata 11.2 (Statacorp, College Station, Texas, USA). Latrine characteristics (see Table 1), including the village sampled and chemical characteristics of pit latrine contents, were investigated for associations with the outcome variables (total fly count,


Early work on the development of the ventilated improved pit latrine in Zimbabwe also found lower number of flies in latrines with a roof [30]. The absence of a roof may result in a similarly open-access latrine. Another factor to consider is the amount of light that is entering a latrine, which may also affect flies entering and exiting through the drophole, which was shown by work in Zimbabwe [30]. Light entering the latrine might also result in important differences of temperature, which could also affect the attractiveness of the latrine to flies, as well as having an effect on the upper layers of the pit latrine contents.

When only Calliphoridae were considered, four variables were significantly associated with the trap counts. Two of these variables were positively associatedwith increased Calliphoridae catches, the latrine superstructure and total solids in pit latrine contents. The material used for construction of the walls of the superstructure may be an indicator of access to the flies to enter the latrine, as the most solidly built superstructures had the lowest median number of flies and latrines with temporary superstructures had more blowflies. Increased total solids in pit latrine contents were also associated with increased numbers of flies. The individual trap used to collect flies was another variable that was significantly associated with Calliphoridae catches. The traps were constructed of the same type of materials and were prepared in the same way, however, they were different colours. The colour of the lid of a fly trap was not shown to significantly affect

Paul McCartney has begun the process of regaining control of his share of the US publishing rights in the Beatles’ catalogue. The publishing is currently owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, but US law allows living artists to apply to take back the right 56 years after initial publication, meaning the Lennon-McCartney catalogue becomes available in 2018.

Billboard reports that McCartney began the process to taking control of his half of the Beatles publishing on 15 December 2015. Under the US copyright act of 1976, songwriter must file a claim with the copyright office two to 10 years before the 56 years elapse. McCartney filed a termination notice for 32 songs at the end of last year. However, John Lennon’s half of the publishing – all their songs were creditedto Lennon-McCartney, regardless of who wrote them – will remain with Sony/ATV which reportedly made a deal with Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono.

The Beatles lost control of their publishing early on. The company Northern Songs was founded by Lennon, McCartney, their manager Brian Epstein and publisher Dick James in 1963, James, however, sold his stake to the UK firm Associated Television (ATV) in 1969, and Lennon and McCartney failed in an attempt to regain their rights. Another attempt by the music manager Allen Klein to set up a deal for the Beatles’ Apple Corps to buy out ATV also failed.

Michael Jackson bought ATV Music for $47.5m (£33m) in 1985, which was reputed to have soured his friendship with McCartney, and merged his catalogue with Sony in 1995, for a

The urgent warnings come as Sanders shows new signs of strength on the ground in the first two states on the presidential primary calendar, Iowa and New Hampshire, backed by a dominant fundraising operation. The Vermont senator has largely escaped close scrutiny over the last year as his rivals doubted the quirky 78-year-old's ability to win the nomination. But less than a month before Iowa's kickoff caucuses, the doubters are being forced to take Sanders seriously.

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, previously a senior aide to President Barack Obama,


warned Democrats that Sanders' status as a democratic socialist and his unwavering support for "Medicare for All” won't play well among swing voters in the states that matter most in 2020.

"You need a candidate with a message that can help us win swing voters in battleground states," Emanuel said in an interview. "The degree of difficulty dramatically increases under a Bernie Sanders candidacy. It just gets a lot harder."

The increasingly vocal concerns are coming from a number of political veterans tied to the Obama administration and the 2020 field's moderate wing, including those backing former Vice President Joe Biden, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet.

In some ways, the criticism is not surprising.

Sanders has spent decades fighting to transform the nation's political andeconomic systems, creating a long list of political adversaries along the way. Many people connected to Hillary Clinton, for example, still blame Sanders for not working hard enough to support her after their long and bitter presidential primary feud in 2016. Some Democrats still accuse him of not being enough of a team player.

Sanders' chief strategist Jeff Weaver dismissed the growing criticism as a reflection of the strength of his candidacy.

He raised more money than any other Democratic candidate in the last quarter — virtually all of it from small-dollar donors — and he's considered a legitimate contender to win Iowa and New Hampshire next month.

"People in establishment Washington are terrified of Bernie Sanders," Weaver said. "The truth of the matter is their centrist tacking over the years


has led us to the place where someone like Donald Trump can get elected."

Less than four weeks before Iowa's Feb. 3 caucuses, Sanders' critics are making a concerted effort to turn up the volume.

The ranks of the concerned include many Democrats tasked with preserving the party's majority in the House and expanding its minority in the Senate and governors' mansions across the country.

California Rep. Ami Bera, a leader in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "frontline" program to protect vulnerable House members this fall, warned that a Sanders nomination would force more than 40 Democratic candidates in competitive districts — most of which were carried by Trump four years ago — "to run away from the nominee."

Specifically, Bera cited Sanders' signature health care plan, which would replace the nation'she has largely escaped intense scrutiny throughout the campaign, in part because some assumed that Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, another progressive firebrand, was a stronger candidate who would cannibalize his support. With Warren's candidacy struggling to maintain momentum, however, those assumptions are now being questioned.

"He has now emerged as somebody who’s got the ability to win the nomination," said former Obama aide Ben LaBolt, who isn't aligned with any 2020 campaign but opposes Sanders.

LaBolt seized on Sanders' short list of accomplishments over three decades in Congress. Over that time, the senator wrote just a handful of bills that ultimately became law, though Sanders' camp insists he's effected meaningful change in and out of Washington.

"He’s more concerned about shouting in the wilderness to make an ideological point than getting


him,” Kennedy said.

Sanders drew consistently large crowds as he crisscrossed the state over the New Year holiday. His campaign said he spoke to nearly 6,000 supporters across 16 events, with more than 1,300 people gathered for a Des Moines party on New Year's Eve.

The supporters turned out in rural areas as well.

Tracy Freese, chair of the Grundy County Democratic Party and a Sanders supporter, said she counted around 250 people at the Grundy Center Community Hall for Sanders last weekend, a number she called “incredible.”

“To put that many people in a room, in a small red county, for Bernie was crazy on a Saturday,” she said.

Peoples reported from New York.racing cars, two boats, two motorcycles and two all-terrain vehicles.

The arrests started about 8:30 p.m. yesterday when Lazaro Ramirez, the purported Florida connection for the cocaine, drove to the Baltimore area in a 1989 Toyota Camry. Originally, Marks said, Ramirez was scheduled to meet his Baltimore connections at a local motel but changed the meeting place to a hangar-like warehouse in Elkridge.

Four of the arrests took place there, he said.

Agents seized the Toyota immediately, Marks said, and searched it for narcotics. "We pretty much pulled it apart," he said. Police found the 13 pounds of cocaine -- nearly six kilograms -- in a false gasoline tank and in the vehicle's firewall between the engine and --board.

"Ramirez was going to switch the drugs for money" with another man, Marks


said. "We were waiting for them."

Miller said the task force was assigned to the case after the initial investigation revealed that the gang "has used violence to collect on drug debts." He declined to specify the kind of violence or say how widespread it allegedly was.

Besides the raid at the Elkridge location, a second warehouse was raided in the first block of Stahl Point Road in Curtis Bay, where authorities said the ring cut, diluted and packaged cocaine.

Sources close to the investigation, who asked not to be identified, said the major points of distribution were south and southwest Baltimore and some parts of Anne Arundel County.

Agents also confiscated three weapons -- a .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol, a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol and a .38-caliber revolver and numerous other assets. Miller'Badass Japanese Hermit'

No. 7 Washington 30-27 on Saturday.

The Ducks potentially ended the Pac-12's hopes of landing a team in the College Football Playoff by getting the best of their rivals to the north after two straight years of receiving beatings by the Huskies.

And it was Oregon running it right through the middle of the Washington defense for the final winning score. Verdell finished with 111 yards but none were sweeter for the Ducks than the final 6, when he sprinted nearly untouched on third-and-goal and set off a wild celebration in the east end zone of Autzen Stadium.

Oregon originally lined up for the third-down play and appeared ready to pass. Cristobal didn't like the call and instead decided to see if the Ducks could catch Washington off guard and lookinggoal as Oregon faced third-and-11 after a holding call. But Justin Herbert threw a strike to Dillon Mitchell for 17 yards and the Ducks had first-and-goal. Three plays later, Verdell sprinted into the end zone and soon after the field was a sea of green and yellow celebrating.

Herbert didn't have his best day, playing in front of a large gathering of NFL scouts and executives that included Denver Broncos GM John Elway. Herbert was 18 of 32 for 202 yards and two touchdowns of 12 yards to Mitchell and a key 9-yard strike to Jaylon Redd late in the first half that pulled the Ducks even at 17-all at halftime.

Washington quarterback Jake Browning threw for 243 yards and threw a 43-yard touchdown to Ty Jones in the third


quarter. The Huskies played parts of the second half without their top two running backs after Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed both left with injuries and played sparingly in the closing minutes.

"I thought he played well. That kid's a tough kid. He's not going to back down ever," Petersen said. "He threw some tough, pin-point balls in there and he stood up in the second half."

Henry had missed three of his last four kicks entering Saturday, but hit from 41 yards earlier in the game. Oregon spent two timeouts trying to ice Henry for his final kick in regulation. He kicked both times after the timeouts were called, missing one and making one. But when it counted, Henry pulled his kick slightly and Oregon was given another chancein overtime.

"It worked out well for us. The game went into overtime and this time we finished the job," Cristobal said.

THE TAKEAWAY

Washington: Washington's defense hadn't allowed a team to score more than 24 points all season. Oregon is the fourth team in the past two seasons to reach the 30-point mark against Washington.

Oregon: Despite being down two starting offensive linemen the Ducks were able to control the line of scrimmage in the second half and get their run game going. The Ducks rushed for 177 yards for the game and ran the ball 27 times in the second half and overtime.

INJURIES

Oregon lost a pair of offensive linemen in the first half when right guard Dallas Warmack and left tackle Penei Sewell suffered injuries. Sewell's appeared the more serious

Over its history, The Wistar Institute has emerged as one of the nation's leading private basic research institutions. In recognition of its contributions in cancer research, the Institute received a Cancer Center Support (CCSG) and was designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a federally approved Cancer Center in 1972, specializing in basic research. In 1976 the NCI funded the addition of a Cancer Wing to the original Main Building. In 2002 Dr. Russel Kaufman


was appointed Director and CEO of The Wistar Institute Cancer Center (Cancer Center). Following his arrival, Dr. Kaufman has led a restructuring of the Research Programs and an extensive review of the Shared Resources. Research at the Institute is organized into three programs: Gene Expression and Regulation; Cellular and Molecular Oncogenesis; and Immunology. Investigators are recognized for their leading contribution in gene regulation and chramatin modification, melanoma research, vaccine development, and translational research. The goals of the current CCSG application are to further expand on our success in these areas by recruiting new faculty to the Institute and by the Institute and by Providing an environment and resource to promote the success of the members of the Cancer Center. The Cancer Center will emphasize the study of macromolecularand experience, and the fear of those who for now stay, will take some toll on the functioning of the Turkish government and its security services. Turkey will turn inward while Erdogan will use his current popularity to remake the society in his image.

The expansive Turkish plans and projects in Syria and in Iraq will be cut back. Signs of this were already evident before the coup was launched and defeated. (Indeed some suggested that these changes were a reason for the coup.) The coup will reinforce and hasten the changes in Turkey's foreign policy.

Turkey pulled back the military forces it had illegally stationed in Bashiqa near Mosul in Iraq. Earlier the Iraqi government as well as Russia had protested against these forces on Iraqi ground but to


The operation aimed at martyring President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Marmaris was activated through Gülen's terrorists, the assassination team. I repeat: The attack aimed at martyring Erdoğan was planned by the U.S., in the U.S., directly through Gülen's terrorists and the instructions were given by them. The Grand National Assembly of Turkey was bombed by a schizophrenic under U.S. protection. Bombing the people's Parliament is declaring war against the people. This attack, like no other in history, was made by the terrorists of a man protected by the U.S.

That Erdogan turns away from "west" and towards Iran and Russia does not yet mean peace for Syria. It will take a while for Erdogan to fully come around. It will be difficult and take months to neutralize all thethe polls.

Lawyer resigns post as school board president after calling parent a 'chubby wubby'

Video from the board of education meeting.

An attorney who called a parent a “chubby wubby” during a break in an upstate New York school board meeting last month has resigned from his post as board president.

Raymond Cote also withdrawn as a candidate for re-election to the Mahopac Board of Education, a lawyer for the Putnam County school district announced at a Tuesday meeting.

The New York Daily News, the Journal News and Reuters have stories.

Cote’s words about an unidentified mother of six and PTA volunteer were picked up by an open microphone and broadcast on live coverage of the April 8 meeting, eliciting public outrage after aImage caption The US scout sniper team adapted the SS logo to fit their unit flag

A US Marine scout sniper unit in Afghanistan posed for a photo in front of a flag resembling the logo of the Nazi SS, the Marine Corps says.

In a statement, a Marine spokesman said use of the SS symbol was not acceptable, and that the Corps had now addressed the issue.

On investigation, use of the flag was not thought to be racially motivated.

Marines in the September 2010 photo, taken in Sangin, Afghanistan, are no longer in that unit, he added.

The photo was brought to the attention of a Marine inspector general in November 2011.

Investigations then revealed that the men were serving in 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force.

Clinton Served With Ethics Complaints

(CNSNews.com) - William Jefferson Clintonis about to become the first sitting president in US history to be served with two formal ethics complaints - both stemming from his testimony in the Paula Jones case.

Matt Glavin, president of the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF), said the president is just hours away from receiving the complaints issued this morning by the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct. Glavin tells CNSNews.com that one complaint stems from an SLF lawsuit and the other was prompted by the presiding judge in the Paula Jones case, US District Judge Susan Webber Wright.

Clinton, the former attorney general of Arkansas, will have 30 days to respond to the complaints, according to Arkansas court rules, and he faces sanctions that could include disbarment.

While the family members she was staying with had tried to make the environment as safe and sober for her as possible, they left her alone for an hour to run some errands, and when they returned, she was unconscious.

Heartbreaking. Especially to think she was trying to get herself help.

Quite a week for the tabs (above, and below)! Which of these stories intrigues U the most???

New reports have emerged that X Factor's Katie Waissel was so awful to her former fiancee that he attempted suicide!

32-year-old Gareth Russell claims that he got together with her in 2006, and was instrumental securing her first break as a supporting act for Andy Abraham, but the opportunity went to her head, which affected her attitude and how she treated him!

As a result, Russell endured constant bullying from the contestant while the two were together, and explains:

"She'd call me overweight, fat slob, a fat bastard, a waste of space. She'd complain that I was 'too Northern' and dressed like 'Northern riff-raff.' this went on pretty muchevery day. People will think I'm an idiot for putting up with it. But she just pickled my head. She was like a little devil child."

He even claims that she would ridicule him when he watched The X Factor!

He continues:

"She always slated it. She'd say 'Why are you watching this rubbish? They're all wasters.' She called them 'a joke'. And she'd say the judges didn't know what they were talking about."

In April 2007, Russell overdosed on pills, and had to be rushed to the hospital. Luckily, he survived, although Waissel was with him during his recovery, they broke up two days later after a huge argument.

In light of these new reports, a spokesperson for The X Factor released the following statement:

   In the early morning of April 3, 2012, United States
Border Patrol agents discovered Rosario, his brother Abel
Montoya-Gaxiola (“Abel”), and Fermin Ruiz-Bracamontes
4          UNITED STATES V. MONTOYA-GAXIOLA

(“Ruiz”) in a remote part of the Arizona desert.1 Upon
contact, the three men fled. After they were apprehended, the
agents recovered the following items on or near the men:
blankets, large backpacks containing significant foodrations,
a radio scanner, multiple cellular phones, three firearms, and
ammunition. Central to this opinion, agents found a sawed-
off shotgun lying near Rosario, and matching shells in his
pockets.

    The three men were indicted on charges of illegal reentry
and firearm possession, as well as various charges of drug
and firearm conspiracy. Rosario was also charged with
violating the Act for possessing an unregistered sawed-off
shotgun with a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length.
Ruiz gave an incriminating post-arrest statement, and later
pled guilty to multiple charges; the Government dismissed
the other charges against him. In their post-arrest statements
the Montoya brothers maintained their innocence, stating that
they were simply traveling from Mexico. Rosario stated,
both at the arrest scene and in his statement, that he had found
the shotgun in the desert the day before. The

Rising inequality, landlessness and deterioration of common property resources have eroded the coping capacity of food-insecure people in recent years. Limited access for the poor to education and health services and low levels of investment in public infrastructure perpetuate food insecurity and undernutrition.

In support of government efforts to tackle food security challenges, WFP's assistance in Cambodia focuses on food-based social safety nets in the sectors of education, nutrition and productive assets/livelihoods support, in order to enable longer-term, nationally owned food security solutions.we went for a day trip sightseeing around downtown and to Multnomah Falls.

- We, the people of the United States,
in order to form a more perfect
union, establish justice,
ensure domestic tranquility,
promote the common defense,
promote the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of liberty
for ourselves and our posterity
do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
James Madison at your service.
In the summer of 1787,
the people of America,
well, find themselves engaged in a battle
for our nation's very soul.
Through such regard, 11 years
ago the people of America
embarked upon a singular experiment.
One that philosophy has waited for,
one that humanity has sighed for
from the most remote ages
of our common experience.
13 separate and distinct
heterogeneous assemblies,
crafted systems of government derived,
not from the power of kings
or the privilege of monarchy,
but rather instead, the
legitimate power of the people.
And through the course of this experiment,
we have witnessed greatglobe
which calls itself the
pattern of civilization
and the pride of humanity.
Can one derive virtue from this?
Now secondly, a government
operating by corrupt influence,
substituting the motive
of private interest
in place of public duty,
converting its pecuniary
dispensations into bounties
to favorites or bribes to opponents
accommodating its measures to the avidity
of a part of the nation instead
of benefit of the whole.
In a word, enlisting an army of partisans
whose tongues, whose
pens, whose intrigues,
and who's active combinations
by supplying the terror of the sword
may support a real domination of the few
under an apparent liberty of the many.
And such a government,
wherever it may be found in
the new world is an imposter.
It will be both happy and
honorable for the United States
if they never descend to
mimic the costly pageantry
of its form, nor betray themselves
into the binal spirit
of its administration.
Now, in this example,


that it has ever been the pride
and boast of America,
that the rights for which she contends
ought be the rights of human nature.
By the blessings of the
author of these rights
and the means exerted for her defense,
she has prevailed against all opposition.
Endeavors, at present, to form
the basis of a great nation.
And in no instance has
heretofore occurred.
Nor can any instance
perhaps be expected to occur
in which the unadulterated
forms of republican government
can to pretend to so fair an opportunity
as justifying themselves
by their own fruits.
In this view, the citizens
of the United States
are responsible for the
greatest trust ever given
to a political society.
If justice, good faith, honor, gratitude,
and all of the other qualities
which enable the character of a nation
fulfill the ends of government,
be the fruits of our establishment,
this cause of liberty will
acquire a dignity and luster
whichbuilding?
Now, of course, in a term,
the Articles of Confederation warranted
a federal system of government.
Federal meaning, to wit,
a collection of republics
united together, formed
by some legislative body,
restricted in its powers,
but ultimately subordinate
to its state legislatures.
A federal system of government.
I will say, to ease whatever
worries might be rendered
amongst the ladies of America,
the system of government that is proposed
is one of a national government.
Now upon that, we still operate
in the moats of federalism
whereby the state
legislatures are reserved
of their various powers and authorities.
But what we endeavor to do at present
is with a single writ document,
create a supreme law of the land.
A supreme law by which the
states shall be subordinate to,
but limited in its power.
This federal system of government
will be supreme in its powers,
yet still derivative and limited.
It will be limited
because only which is


plan authored
predominantly by me,
and a New Jersey plan.
And the New Jersey plan
offered forward an amendment
to the Articles of Confederation.
Again, a single branch
government in every regard,
a mirror to the previous system.
We debated contentiously
amidst the heat of summer,
the windows nailed shut,
until an afternoon in June
where Mr. Hamilton set
forward with the floor.
He would eventually speak for six hours
upon his ideal system of government
when analyzing both of those plans.
He spoke about an executive
which would serve for life.
He spoke of a financial system
that mirrored great Britain's exactly.
He spoke in every instance
of tyranny, privilege, and monarchy.
For six hours.
The following day the
Virginia plan was adopted.
Now, some might wonder whether Hamilton
was speaking in earnest.
Others might assume, in every instance,
it was merely a brilliant
ploy of politics,
a sortie by which the
freer of the two plans
might be put forward.
Andteacher,
sorry, didn't mean to break that illusion.
But from that he had left
William and Mary at that point.
And William and Mary had
developed somewhat of a reputation
of being a bit of a party school.
And so Madison's father wasn't
terribly happy to hear that.
Also this area,
Williamsburg, for any of you
who are local and have
stepped outside today,
it is hot.
It's, in the 18th century
was notoriously really bad
for your health.
And Madison being
hypochondriacal avoided that.
And so instead his tutor advised to go
to the College of New Jersey,
specifically because of
one man, John Witherspoon.
John Witherspoon was a signer
of the Declaration of Independence,
a prolific political mind.
And it's no wonder then,
that the majority of the signers,
or the College of New Jersey
had the most signers of the
Declaration of Independence
than any other American college.
And it's because of the
teachings of John Witherspoon.
And Madison


was, in
every instance, soaked up
in that idea and spirit of liberty.
He spent what would have
been five years of study
and completed it in three
years, spending his third year
studying politics and theology
directly under John Witherspoon.
That's a great question.
- [Mr. Smith] Thank you.
Before we get to our final
question, we have one more
and it must go to a
seven-year-old named Harper.
And Harper wants to know
were you really the
smallest president to date?
- Harper, that's a great question.
So Madison was around
between five foot four
and five foot six.
It's not something they can agree on
because, unfortunately, he
never got measured in his time.
What was known was that
he was about 120 pounds.
So his wife Dolley famously called him
the Great Little Madison.
He was a very, very small
man, a very, very frail man.
And I think, when chalked up
to a lot ofin a debate
all day about what works
and what doesn't work
about the Constitution.
What's really incredible about it
is that it works so
long as you work at it.
Not just those in government,
but the citizenry of the United States.
When Madison died, he was the
last founder of his generation
to pass away.
And he wrote something down
that he put in an envelope
and wished to be opened
after he passed away.
It was a small, brief sentiment of hope
for a country that he'd
spent his entire life
trying to build.
And it's, "The easiest thing
that I can leave you with,
"which is the advice nearest to my heart
"and deepest in my convictions
"is that the union of the states
"be cherished and perpetuated,
"that the open enemy be
regarded as the Pandora
"with its box opened,
"and the secret one, the serpent,
"creeping with its deadly
wills into paradise."

CONNERSVILLE, Ind. – An Indiana farming community came together to help a man who was coping with the death of his granddaughter.

Steve Wollyung was preparing to harvest the last 112 acres of his farm on November 5 when an unthinkable tragedy occurred, according to WXIN.

His 4-year-old granddaughter Ayla was playing in a grain wagon when she became trapped. First responders removed Ayla from the grain wagon and she was airlifted to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

Tara Henry, a longtime friend of the Wollyung family, heard about the farming accident the next day. She calledhas been brought up, does it look like one of his critiques of capitalism is holding up. In end stage capitalism do have our wealth concentrated into a small group of wealthy and the rest of us are peasants? Are we on the road to serfdom?

Chief executives are no longer tied to the long term success of the companies they manage and the people they employ. The most glaring example of this is that executive compensation now primarily consists of stocks, stock options and bonuses fixed to stock performance, firmly wedding their personal incomes to the approval of Wall Street traders.

We can see this in the bull market of the last four years, which has been almost entirely driven by corporate stock purchases to boost prices, by definition

Staff Report

HURRICANE - Hurricane Middle put an end to Ripley Middle's "A" team post-season Mid-Valley Athletic Conference hopes in a 52-20 "A" team decision on Saturday (2/9) on the Lady Reds home court. Hurricane's full court pressure forced eight turnovers in Ripley's first 10 possessions of the game resulting in a 15-0 opening quarter road that stunned the Lady Viking "A" teamers of coaches Terry Landis and Delaine Carter.

Ripley did right the ship early in the second period closing the gap to 23-11, but that was as close as the local eight grade crew would get. The loss, the third of the season by RpMS to the Putnam Countians, gave the Blue and White

For Ripley, Zoe Smith had seven points to go with six rebounds and an eye-popping nine blocked shots on the defensive end. Both Jeri Patterson and Destinee Baldwin chipped in four points while Olivia Ludtman had three markers and Cassidy Craddock two. Laurel Miller, Julia Hunter, Grace Ashworth, and Hanah Burgess were unable to break into the scoring column for the Lady Vikes.

In their last home game of the regular season on Monday, February 4, RpMS fell victims to Winfield by a final tally of 39-8. Patterson and Smith had four points apiece.

Kelley, who was wearing tactical gear and a ballistic vest, then got out of his vehicle, crossed the street to the church, and began his assault.

As Kelley left the church, a local resident grabbed his own weapon and engaged him. “The suspect dropped his rifle, which was a Ruger AR assault-type rifle, and fled from the church,” Martin said on Sunday.

Kelley was later found dead in his vehicle with what may have been a self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said during a Monday news conference.

Here’s more about the gun Devin


Had a Glock 9mm and a Ruger 22 in His Vehicle

Aside from the AR-556, Kelley had two handguns in his vehicle, according to Fred Milanowski, special agent in charge of the Houston Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Those guns were a Glock 9mm and Ruger 22.

All three firearms were purchased by the suspect, Milanowski said during Monday morning’s news conference.

It’s Unclear if the Weapons Were Purchased Legally

Kelley, a former member of the U.S. Air Force, was court-martialed in 2012 after assaulting his spouse and child, the Los Angeles Timesreports. Kelley served a year in confinement, had his rank reduced and received a bad conduct discharge.

Members of the military who are dishonorably discharged are legally barred from purchasing a gun. But it isn’t clearQ:

Early vs. early on

early on refers to a time not long after the beginning.
on conveys the idea of some time transpiring / having transpired.

U.S. 2008-2009 Winter Temperatures Near Average, February Above

NOAA's National Climatic Data Center announced today preliminary data for the 3 months of meteorological winter, December 2008 to February 2009. For the country as whole, the U.S. averaged about half a degree above the long-term "normal". Temperatures were warmer than average across much of the South and the central Rockies, while cooler temperatures were mainly limited to the Great Lakes. For the month of February, temperatures were near to above normal over nearly the entire country; on a statewide basis, the only exception was Florida.

Winter temperature highlights from the NCDC:

* The December 2008 – February 2009 average temperature was 33.49 degrees F, which is 0.53 degree F above normal.

* On a regional basis, temperatures were warmer than


average across the southern tier states and central Rockies, while the upper Midwest, Great Lakes, Maine, and Washington had a cooler-than-average winter.

* Based on NOAA's Residential Energy Demand Temperature Index, the contiguous U.S. temperature-related energy demand was 0.4 percent above average during winter.

Precipitation patterns were generally dry over much of the U.S. For the country as a whole, this was the 5th driest December-February in 114 years of records. The state of Texas had its driest winter on record, and it was the 10th driest in the Southeast. For the months of January and February, 12 states had their 10th driest, or drier, such 2-month period.

These results may be compared with the Climate Prediction Center's winter forecast made in November.Opinion: New large manufacturing plants not in Detroit's future

John E. Mogk | The Detroit News

President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on the auto industry highlight the enormous benefit large manufacturing plants are to American cities today. Recently, The New York Times focused upon the anticipated impacts of tariffs on Spartanburg, South Carolina's BMW plant. The $.2.2 billion plant, built two decades ago using 1.5 square miles, employs 23,000 BMW and contract workers and drew more than 200 companies from two dozen countries to the Spartanburg area. One-in-ten people earn a living making vehicles or their parts in Spartanburg. Many more are employed in small businesses serving the workers and their families.

Detroit could reap all those benefits if the BMW plant or another like it was located here. The unemployment


The first half of Thursday’s Senate Select Intelligence Committee’s hearing on Russian disinformation campaigns wasn’t quite as fun as watching James Comey squirm his way around classified intel in the House, but it did provide some valuable context on Russian cyber methods and social media campaigns.

The morning hearing lacked the big names that are a little further down the pike, including former Trump campaign members Paul Manfort and Roger Stone and Trump son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner, focusing instead on academics and researchers.

While most of the hearing was scene-setting, including a thorough Russian counterintelligence history lesson, some of its more compelling insights came from Clint Watts, a senior fellow with the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s program on national security. Watts, a former FBI special agent who specializesto promote Sinhala-Buddhism. The Sangha community and its leading monks would, indeed, be quite uncomfortable about the particular modus operandi of the BBS. But there is hardly any rejection of the causes that the BBS stands for. This was most strikingly reminded to me at a recent public talk given by Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri at the Colombo University. During the discussion that ensued after the talk (which was on the theme of recent Buddhist political resurgence), Nirmal posed a question to a leading monk who kept on articulating the broader BBS-line (about the illegality of certain Muslim mosques, etc). Nirmal asked what the Buddha’s teaching was as per the Metta Sutta, the Discourse of Unlimited Friendliness. And then came the unabashed reply from the monk: it was the


of Christ Jesus and he carried that zeal into his conversion giving his all to the proclamation of the Gospel.

His ministry as an Apostle of Christ resulted not only in the foundation of numerous Christian communities, it also resulted in fourteen letters attributed to him or his followers becoming part of our Sacred Scripture. His writings are deep, profound and very personal. His love, zeal and care for the Christian communities he founded shone forth as he was revealed as a true shepherd of God.

Secondly, his conversion comes after a fierce persecution of the newly founded Christian Church. Saul goes forth from town to town, rounding up new Christians and persecuting them. The most well-known account of this persecution is when he consents to the stoning of St.Stephen, the first Christian martyr, earlier in the Acts of the Apostles.

The Scripture passage quoted above, which comes from the First Reading of the Mass for today, reveals Jesus appearing to Saul asking him why he is persecuting Him. Saul, in a confused manner, does not understand that his persecution of the Church is actually a persecution of Jesus Himself. This revelation Saul receives sets him on a powerful path of conversion.

One truth this reveals is that, at times, we encounter division and even persecution within the Church from one person to another. This should not shock us or undermine our faith. Jesus was quite aware of this fact with St. Paul and chose to use him despite his horrible persecution of Christians. This passage should call us

UO Wushu founder Daniel Wu has two new movies this fall – Tai Chi Zero/Tai Chi 0, which he helped produce, and The Man with the Iron Fists, where he plays a character named Poison Dagger.

Tai Chi Zero – the first of two movies from Daniel Wu and Stephen Fung’s studio, Diversion Pictures – follows Yang Lu Chan (Yuan Xiachao) on a journey to learn the secrets of Chen-style tai chi. It’s sillier and much more lighthearted than it sounds. The sequel, Tai Chi Hero, was released in China around the same time as Tai Chi Zero debuted in the U.S. (10/19).

The Man with the Iron Fists premieres today (11/2). The film is set in feudal China and stars a blacksmith (RZA) fighting to protect his village fromBam Brown's departure from the Alaskan wilderness will air Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on Discovery

Larson as a licensed practical nurse. NRCC discharged Larson from employment on September 18, 1991.
On September 10, 1993, Larson attempted to begin a lawsuit against NRCC for breach of contract, violation of Minnesota's whistleblower statute, and negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress. Larson hired R.L. Kottom to serve the summons and complaint. Kottom went to NRCC and left the summons and complaint with Jeanne Waldhauser. Waldhauser performed receptionist and bookkeeping duties for NRCC; her title was administrative assistant.
In an affidavit, Kottom stated: he told Waldhauser that he wanted to see NRCC's administrator or a managing agent; Waldhauser said no one with a title like that was in at the time; he told her that he had a summons and complaint to serve on NRCC; Waldhauser said shehad authority to accept service and had done so in the past; and while he was talking to Waldhauser, Leo Nissen, who Kottom later learned was the Mayor of New Richland, came into NRCC's reception area.
Waldhauser stated in her affidavit that she had no authority to accept service of process for NRCC or New Richland and that to her knowledge, neither NRCC or the city had ever been sued. According to Waldhauser, Kottom asked to see NRCC's president or vice president. When she told him that no one at NRCC had such a title, Kottom asked with whom he could leave some papers. Waldhauser stated that she accepted the papers, but did not know they were legal documents.

Sheriff Finch – who had never met Parrish – entered the holding cell with Parrish’s brother. He then took possession of the arrest file and told the booking sergeant to release Parrish and not file any charges. The man’s mug shot had, apparently, already been taken and his name entered into the arrest log. The arrest log entry was later whited out by someone, though no one is certain who did so. Video tapes of the arrest and subsequent release of Parrish were later recorded over.

Ellorna strode down the street, her chitinous feet beating a confident tattoo against the cobblestones. This could be it! her footsteps seemed to say, over and over again. This could be it!

Hitching the bag of groceries further up onto her red shoulder plate, Ellorna walked until she had reached the western edge of Neopia Central and turned onto the front walk of her small home. Fumbling with the key for a moment, she finally managed to wrestle the door open. She swung it wide—and stopped in her tracks.

Maj stood a few feet away, a furious look on her Poogle face and an open letter in her hand. A torn envelope lay on the floor next to her. "What is this?" Maj asked Ellorna, her voice


as tight and high as music from a flute. She waved the letter for emphasis. "I told you! I don't want to be adopted! I'm going to wait for Mark!"

With a sigh, Ellorna stepped into the house and bumped the door shut with her heavy abdomen. "It's bad manners to open someone else's mail," she said neutrally, crossing the room to put her bag down on the kitchen table.

"It was addressed to both of us," Maj growled, dropping the letter to the floor and folding her arms across her chest. Then, her voice reaching piccolo range, she asked, "Elly, how could you?"

"Look, I—" Ellorna stopped and took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. Raising her voice was not going to help matters. "Maj, I'm not tryingwhen he comes back!"

Ellorna felt the blood drain from her face. "Maj!"

Her sister's eyes filled with tears. "It's not fair!" she wailed. "Just because he got tired of you—he hasn't even had a chance to get to know me!" Maj wheeled around and ran into her room, slamming the door shut behind her. The letter stirred for a moment in the wind of her passing.

Ellorna stood silently for a few moments, as unable to move as if her exoskeleton had turned to stone. Then, taking another deep breath in and out, she slowly picked up the letter and went over to the table to read it. This was the letter that she had been hoping for, but now the excitement she had felt about it earlier had turned


to lead in her chest. This man could indeed be the perfect new owner for Maj, but it didn't matter if Maj wouldn't have anything to do with him.

Maj had been refusing to be Transferred ever since Ellorna had first suggested the idea about a year ago. She wanted to believe that Mark would come back. Unfortunately, Ellorna knew that wasn't going to happen. Mark's interest in Neopets had started waning long before Maj was born. Maj had refueled his interest for a little while—it had always been his dream to have a Poogle—but it hadn't been enough. In truth, once he had attained his dream, Mark had had nothing left to strive for. Instead of creating a new dream, he had chosen to leave. Ellorna was stilla little bitter over that.

Anyway. When Mark had been gone a year, Ellorna had expected to be picked up by the Pound. That was what happened to abandoned pets. But somehow, by some wonderful chance, the Pound had missed them. However, now the second-year anniversary was coming up and Ellorna knew they wouldn't be overlooked again. If she was going to find a new owner for Maj, she needed to do it soon.

Ellorna had been looking for a year, despite her sister's protests, but she hadn't been able to find any users that she thought would be suitable for her little sister. A surprising number of people had applied to adopt Maj, but most of them were newbies, only interested in Maj because they thought having a Poogle


responsibility. Maj was right; it wasn't fair. None of it was.

How could Mark have left them? So he had a new baby. Big deal! So kids took time. She knew that! But she and Maj needed him too. They were his first daughters, even if they were Neopets. And Mark had promised that he would come back every once in a while to check on them. He had promised. Then he had booked them into Cockroach Towers, the best he could afford, and waved a cheerful goodbye over his shoulder as he walked away. They hadn't seen him again.

Ellorna shook her head again. This was pointless. Thinking about Mark and crying about their circumstances weren't going to save Maj. With a shuddering sigh, she wiped at her eyesand determinedly picked up the letter again. She would find a good home for Maj, whether her sister wanted it or not. It was all she could do to protect her, and she would do it right. She would.

Ellorna fingered the letter, flipping through the pages. On the last page, there was a picture of a Faerie Poogle. Alex obviously wasn't the most spectacular artist in Neopia, but he wasn't bad, and considering the fact that he had only seen a small picture of Maj that Ellorna had taken with her to the Neoboards, it looked surprisingly like her. Except, of course, for the fact that in the picture she was Faerie instead of Yellow.

Had Maj seen the picture? She had always wanted to be Faerie, but it


might have only made her angrier. She wasn't the type of Neopet who could be bought with trinkets, even if the trinket happened to be one of her heart's desires.

Leafing through the other pages, Ellorna realized that the envelope had contained two letters: one was an application for her, and the other was a letter of introduction to Maj. She read through them quickly. In the letter to Ellorna, Alex talked about why he wanted Maj—he had always wanted a Poogle; her personality sounded like it would mesh perfectly with those of his other three pets; and he actually liked the numbers in her name—and how well he would care for her—he would feed her well; he would treat her just like his other three pets; and hewould paint her if she wanted. In the letter to Maj, he described himself and his three pets, talked about the things they enjoyed doing together, and told her of his desire to paint her Faerie if she wanted to be painted. In short, he sounded perfect.

If only Maj would agree. If only. There had to be a way.

The next day, Ellorna shook Maj awake before dawn.

Maj groaned and rolled over. "What izit?" she mumbled. "It's early."

"It'll be dawn soon. Come on. We have things to do." She yanked open the blinds, letting the dim gray light of the unrisen sun trickle into the room.

"Things that hafta be done 'fore dawn?"

Ellorna walked out of the room. "Be up in fifteen minutes," she said over her shoulder.

"Seriously? Ell-yyy!"

Ellorna ignored


cheerful.

"Hi there!" she chirped. "My name is Rose, and I'm head of the Adoptions department! Are you here to adopt a pet?"

"No," Ellorna said quickly, wondering how Rose expected them to adopt anyone without an owner along. "We're here to volunteer."

"Oh, wonderful!" Rose pointed at a second door with her nose. "Just through there, please!"

"Thank you," Ellorna said quickly, and pulled a reluctant Maj through the door behind her.

Despite Maj's fears, though, the day wasn't bad. As they served breakfast to the somber pets, then participated in game time, then served lunch, Maj's tenseness slowly dissipated. By the time they started cleaning up the lunch dishes, she was even smiling and thanking the pets who brought their dirty dishes to her.

Ellorna, meanwhile, was starting to wonder if heridea had been a mistake. She knew that things in the Pound weren't always so lovely, but Maj was too young to understand. What if Maj decided that being in the Pound was preferable to being Transferred? She scrubbed at the dishes, wondering what she could try next.

"Everyone, listen up!" Rose's loud voice floated into the kitchen over the sound of the faucet.

Ellorna turned the water off and lifted her head. Rose had just entered the room and was trotting around energetically.

"All right, everyone!" Rose said. "The after-lunch crowd has arrived, and there's quite a few of them, so get ready! Some of you could be going home today!" With a toss of her head, she ducked back out of the room.

Maj glanced at her and nodded. She


Robot Buzz cowered, surrounded by several users who seemed to be arguing loudly with each other about how much the Buzz was worth without his casings.

"Hi!" a girl nearby said cheerfully, dropping to her knees next to a Mynci. "What's your name?"

"Um, underscore I like brains 55," the Mynci mumbled.

The girl wrinkled her nose and scrambled off.

"But I wouldn't mind a nickname," the Mynci called after her desperately. She didn't look back.

A shriek split the air, and Ellorna whipped her head around. Two girls were playing tug-of-war with the Red Poogle, who looked ready to cry. "She's mine!" the one shouted. "I saw her first!"

"You did not! Anyways, I was waiting in line outside before you were!"

"No you weren't, you—"

Then, as if by magic, Rose was there. "Hello,girls!" she said brightly. "Right this way, please. I'll help you sort this all out."

One of the girls frowned and opened her mouth.

"Don't worry about a thing!" Rose said. "Sara will still be here when you get back." She hesitated a moment to murmur to the Poogle, a concerned look on her face, and for the Poogle to nod in reply before she herded the girls away.

Ellorna blew out a relieved breath and looked back over at the Robot Buzz. It looked like he was being protected by another Pound worker, who was trying to stop the users' debate without much success.

Everything had quieted down. A few users were leading Neopets away by the hand. Most of the pets looked happy, if overwhelmed, though not all. The boy


BALI, Indonesia — “The men were made to sit right here with their hands tied and their legs dangling down into the grave,” recalled Nyoman Ramin, indicating a patch of grass beside the road in the picturesque Balinese village of Petulu.

Aged 65, Ramin is talking about the time, 40 years ago, when soldiers marched into his village with 42 prisoners — all men aged between about 20 and 50.

“I was watching from over there in front of the temple,” Ramin said. “A solider walked slowly around behind the prisoners shooting each of them in the back of the head. Some of them were crying and I remember one older man had a heart attack and fell into the grave even before the soldier got to him.”

Bali, a tranquilisland paradise, is seldom associated with such brutal violence. But Nyoman Ramin’s story is by no means uncommon. Indeed, an estimated 80,000 people, roughly 5 percent of Bali's population, were killed during Indonesia's national blood-letting that followed a 1965 failed coup allegedly organized by communist plotters.

Between October 1965 and March 1966, suspected members or sympathizers of the PKI, Indonesia's communist party, were rounded-up and taken from one village to another by soldiers or local militias. There they were shot or butchered with machetes, their bodies buried in unmarked mass graves or tossed into the sea.

As with Petulu, the graves were often dug in the local cemetery with a member of each family in the village — commonly young men like Nyoman Ramin — ordered to dig the graves
