Hillsboro police officer Foister M. "Fred" Hampton has been placed on leave following an initial appearance Monday in Hillsboro Municipal Court on a first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence charge following an alleged weekend incident.
Hampton entered a plea of not guilty during the court appearance.
According to Highland County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Turner's affidavit, on Saturday he was dispatched to Hampton's residence. The alleged victim, his wife, said she was on the phone when Hampton began assaulting her, grabbing the phone from her and punching her in the head with it and his fist, eventually holding her on the ground and choking her.
In Turner's affidavit he said he observed injuries "consistent with the type of assault she had described," including scrapes, bruising and redness to the alleged victim's neck and injuries to her head.
Turner said in his report that Hampton's wife said he "had been violent with her and their children for several years," adding that Hampton's behavior of late was "worsening."
The affidavit goes on to say that Hampton's wife told the deputy that Hampton had been punching holes in the walls, had threatened her with a gun, and two weeks ago he killed a litter of kittens with a hatchet.
She said she was in "fear for her safety."
A prepared statement released Monday by Hillsboro Police Chief Todd Whited said: "There is an internal investigation into the matter surrounding officer Hampton's arrest by the Highland County Sheriff's Office. Mr. Hampton has been placed on leave during this investigation and the city will follow the disciplinary procedures under the collective bargaining agreement between the Fraternal Order of Police and the city of Hillsboro. Mr. Hampton will be afforded his due process rights when all the facts are known from the investigation."
According to the Hillsboro Municipal Court records, Hampton was given an OR bond and is to have no contact with his wife and a minor child. A pretrial hearing is set for May 22 at 10 a.m.
Additionally, he is to observe a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and also comply with the orders of a temporary protection order.

Location scouts for a television pilot based on Washington Irving's short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" are considering Pender's county seat for filming, according to Town Manager Chad McEwen.
The scouts, who visited Burgaw's historic downtown, join other film and television producers who have expressed interest in filming there, including "Under the Dome," a CBS series set to being production in the region in February, and "Revolution," an NBC drama that's been filming in
Although "Sleepy Hollow" and "Dome" haven't committed to filming in the
"Revolution" follows a family trying to survive in a new
"Revolution" filming, which is expected to wrap on Saturday before picking up again for a day on Tuesday, Feb. 5 will take place at night and includes gunfire and pyrotechnic effects. Crews will wrap stunts by , the permit says.
Those who have questions about filming are asked to call the production at 910-343-4700, according to the permit.
Burgaw residents aren't ignorant to the drama
In 2000, the town's board of commissioners refused to let independent filmmakers with the TV movie "Angel Doll" shoot downtown on a Sunday.
A few years later, residents expressed consternation after a scene shot at the courthouse for the locally filmed "Idlewild" (2006) featured a noose.
So far this year, however, filming has been well-received, McEwen said.
"Revolution" has shot at the town's historic jail, while producers with the horror thriller "The Occult" covered about a quarter-mile stretch of
"It depends on the scope of filming and the location, but we've been as reasonable as we can be in accommodating requests," McEwen said.
This past week, a "Sleepy Hollow" location manager visited the town's community building, at
"The project is in the very early stages of scouting and hasn't selected a filming site," McEwen said.
Fox recently ordered a "Sleepy Hollow" pilot, which is described by
Writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who co-created "Fringe" for the network and wrote J.J. Abrams's "Star Trek," have teamed up Ichabod Crane with the town's female sheriff to bring peace to the community, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lezyne's Pressure Carbon Drive high pressure design let's you pump up to your desired pressure with 30% fewer strokes then comparable mini pumps. The first thing that you notice about the Lezyne Pressure Carbon Drive is the carbon fiber body. That carbon fiber is not just a laminate to give the pump a "carbon look", but a full carbon fiber barrel and handle with no metal reinforcements. That gives the pump amazing strength and durability to handle the rigors of daily use and abuse.
The beauty of the Lezyne Pressure Carbon Drive is more than just the carbon fiber though. Within the body of the pump is an ABS flex hose that is housed inside the body. The ABS flex hose connects the pump to your presta or schrader valve to ease pumping action. Lezyne also includes the Lezyne Air Bleed System. Air Bleed System (ABS) takes the most secure valve connection known and adds a pressure release button making our Flip-Thread Chuck, Flex Hoses easier to use than ever before. ABS is only featured on genuine Lezyne products. ABS is patent pending worldwide
Lezyne pumps are built to last with quality materials and first rate design and engineering. Each Lezyne item also works as good as it looks. Beyond just the looks, you can rebuild each and every Lezyne pump if anything ever wears out or breaks. The Lezyne Pressure Carbon Drive could be the last hand pump you will need.

The reporter who wrote an article about the lack of disclosure and the disparities on the visitor logs to the White House merely had to be able to use a computer to the visitor logs, which are available online on the White House website.
Using this, he had to recognize that some celebrities were notoriously missing from the list. Knowing that, he would have had to double-check that information, which he showed by saying that a video from the White House that night showed an individual who was not listed on the official log.
Other things he had to notice to produce his article were not through prior knowledge, but by noticing the absence of certain categories.

It is the policy of Delaware State University to provide accessible programs, services, activities, and reasonable accommodations for any student with a documented disability as defined by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Student Accessibility Services (SAS) staff work to ensure that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to pursue an education.
University faculty and staff make a conscious effort not to discriminate in the recruitment, admission, or treatment of students with disabilities. Therefore, students are not enrolled in separate programs or courses, but are mainstreamed into the existing college structure. Classrooms and selected residence halls are accessible to mobility impaired students. Services are provided to help students make the best possible use of the University's comprehensive academic resources.
SAS is part of the Division of Academic Enrichment and is committed to helping each student pursue a chosen field of study to the full measure of his or her ability. Students with disabilities are encouraged to become active participants in the University community and to develop a sense of independence that will help them gain the leading edge when entering the job market.
Students with disabilities are admitted through the same application process as students without disabilities. There are no separate admissions standards or procedures. Admissions counselors are available to answer any questions and offer recommendations.
Students with disabilities must submit recent, appropriate documentation to the Student Accessibility Services Coordinator before requesting accommodations. Documentation with supporting recommendations from a physician, clinical psychologist, Individualized Educational Plan (I.E.P.), and/or 504 Plan is required. However, students without documentation who suspect they may have a learning disability may request a screening from the Coordinator where a referral may be required.
Student Advocacy
The Student Accessibility Services Coordinator serves as a campus resource and an advocate for students with disabilities. It is necessary for the student to schedule an appointment with the Coordinator at the beginning of each semester to design a support service program that fits each particular class and the individual's needs.
General Procedures
- Student requests services and submits recent documentation of disability.
- Coordinator reviews documentation and recommendations to determine reasonable accommodations.
- Student makes an initial appointment with Coordinator to become familiar with process then fills out Self-Identification form.
- Student schedules another appointment with the Coordinator within the first few weeks of classes to discuss documentation and appropriate accommodations for each class, after student collects syllabi from classes
- Reasonable accommodations forms are completed for each class and given to student.
- Student takes forms and discusses his or her particular needs with each instructor.
- A Plan of Action is developed and put in writing with each instructor. Instructors may follow-up with questions to the Coordinator.
- Student maintains contact with the Coordinator and remains actively involved in the accommodation process throughout the semester.
- The student staying involved in the accommodation process with the Coordinator and the Faculty is critical for academic success.
- Please see the SAS Handbook [1] or contact the Student Accessibility Services [2] for more information on documentation, accommodations and procedures.
Accommodations Checklist for Students [3]
The ADA does not require colleges or universities to lower academic standards or fundamentally alter the nature of the programs provided. Students with documented disabilities must meet all requirements for graduation. A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a course, program, service, activity, or facility that enables qualified students with disabilities to have equal opportunities to attain the same levels of performance or enjoy equal benefits and privileges as are available to similarly situated students without disabilities. Reasonable accommodations and services may include, but are not limited to:
- Academic support which focuses upon development of learning strategies
- Reading, writing, and note taking services
- Time management and organizational skills training
- Use of specialized equipment
- Arrangements for testing accommodations
- Tutorial services
- Interpreters for the deaf
- Referrals to community agencies (Social Services, Vocational Rehabilitation, etc.)
- In coordination with key University departments provisions will be made for students with disabilities to gain access to buildings if physical barriers exist in order for them to participate equally in the programs/services.

Hamburg is not only a cycling hotspot – as the Hamburg Marathon goes to show. The fact that the people of Hamburg love sport is common knowledge in the rest of Germany. Although many say this has something to do with the weather – when it's cold, it's good to exercise. But those who believe that, don't know the true Hamburg: the enthusiasm of the Hamburg people is genuine and they love their big sporting occasions.
The next Hamburg Marathon will again see over 800,000 spectators lining the 26-mile route through the Hanseatic city cheering on more than 20,000 runners. And not only because this route is one of the most beautiful in the world, stretching from Millerntorplatz to Glacischaussee, taking in the HafenCity, Jungfernstieg promenade, City Nord and Eppendorfer Baum. The flat course is also conducive to fast races and top marathon runners such as the Kenyans Paul Kipkemoi Biwott and Evans Kiprop Cheruiyot have always achieved impressive times here.
In contrast to the main event, the relay competition for teams of four, launched in 2012, is intended to be an introduction to long-distance running. With four distances to choose from – 14.8km, 10.6km, 5.3km and 11.5km – it is aimed at families and other teams. An event for all – just like the Hamburg Marathon itself.

First Step
Try to find out where a person is by talking with family members, co-workers and friends of that person. Look in the phonebook, too. You might also be able to find them through one of the other options listed below.
Tip: Keep a record of all the ways you tried to find a person involved in your case. If you cannot find them, you may still be able to "serve" your papers by mail or by publishing a legal notice in a newspaper. You also may need to get a court order or tell the court what the steps you took to try to find that person.
Personal data that may be useful in your search could include:
Court Records Search
MN courthouses have public computers where you can search Minnesota court records. If the person has a traffic violation or other case you may find their contact information on record with the court. Some records can be viewed on the court's website at MNCIS - MPA Court Records.
U.S. Post Office "Mail Forward"
If you have a last-known address for someone who you think has moved, you might also be able to fill out a form at the U.S. Post Office in their procedure for Request for Change of Address or Boxholder Information Needed for Service of Legal Process (see Exhibit-5-2(b). Depending on the circumstances, the Post Office may be able to give you forwarding information they had for that address, even if the time-frame to forward mail has expired.
Driver and Vehicle Information
If you know the person's full name and birth date, you may be able to do a record request through the MN Dept of Driver and Vehicle Services. Look for the "Record Request" form.
Birth and Death Records
Birth and death records may lead to useful information. These records are maintained by the MN Dept. Public Health.
Persons Who May Have Died
For people you think may be deceased, you could request a search of Social Security records for a fee under the "Freedom of Information Act" Request process.
Persons in the Military
For people you think are or have been in the military, you can search a free online database at the U.S. Dept. of Defense.
Prison Inmates
For people you think may be in the custody of the MN Dept. of Corrections, you may use the MN Offender Locator to search for a name. Most states and the Federal Bureau of Prisons have inmate and offender databases online.
Licensed Professionals
If you think someone has a professional license (e.g., appraiser, insurance agent, mortgage broker, etc.), you could search the online database at the MN Dept. of Commerce. Many states have similar online databases. There is also a nation-wide license database at the Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation.
Lawyers licensed to practice law in Minnesota can be found online at MN Attorney Registration. Most other states have similar online databases.
Legal Process Server
You may have to use a legal process server to do a "skip tracing" on the person. There may be a fee for this service.
Internet Search
You may be able to locate someone by searching for them on the internet. You could start by using a web search engine (e.g., Bing, Google, Yahoo, etc.) to search for a name, phone number, or email address. Please note that there are companies whose business is to collect and sell personal information about people. If you visit the website for a company like that, they may charge fees to get the information.

The legislature is a part-time citizen legislature that meets annually on the second Monday. In odd-numbered years, the budget year the Legislature meets for 105 days, and in even-numbered years for 60 days. If necessary, the Governor can call legislators in for a special session for a 30-day period. Legislators can call themselves into special session with a two-thirds vote of the two bodies[3].
In 2012, the House was in session from January 9 through March 8.
Article II of the Washington Constitution establishes when the Washington State Legislature, of which the House is a part, is to be in session. Section 12 of Article II allows the dates of regular sessions to be determined by statute. Section 12 limits the length of regular sessions to 105 days in odd-numbered years and 60 days in even-numbered years.
Section 12 also establishes rules for convening special sessions of the Legislature. It states that special sessions can be called by the Governor of Washington or by resolution of two-thirds of the members of each legislative house. Special sessions are not to exceed 30 days in length.

Major issues
Heading into the session the state faces a $1.5 billion budget gap. Additionally, Governor Chris Gregoire is pushing for a half-cent sales tax, while the legislature is considering a gas-tax increase to pay for roads and transportation related needs.[4]
The legislature passed a bill allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry. Gov. Gregoire signed it into law in February but opponents immediately filed a Referendum to try and put the law on hold.[5]

In 2010, the House was in regular session from January 11 to March 11. Additionally, the Legislature was in special session from March 15 to April 12 to deal with issues related to the economy and the state budget.[7][8]
Elections for the office of Washington House of Representatives will be held in Washington on November 6, 2012. All 98 seats were up for election.
The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in the elections was June 8, 2012. The primary election day was August 7, 2012.
The signature-filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was June 11, 2010. The primary election day was August 17, 2010. The enactment of Initiative 872 in 2004 means that in the August 17 primary, the top two vote-getting candidates in each primary contest, regardless of party, moved on to the final November 2 vote.
Washington State Representatives serve a two-year term and are not subject to term limits. All members are up for election on even years. Of the 98 seats up for re-election, incumbents ran in 81 of them.

Section 7 of Article 2 of the Washington State Constitution states, "No person shall be eligible to the legislature who shall not be a citizen of the United States and a qualified voter in the district for which he is chosen."
If there is a vacancy in the House, the Board of County Commissioners where the vacant seat is located has the responsibility to select a replacement. The state central committee of the political party that last held the seat must submit a list of three candidates to the Board of County Commissioners representing the vacant district. A selection must be made within 60 days after the vacancy happened[10].

Legislative redistricting in Washington has been handled by the Washington State Redistricting Commission since 1983. The majority and minority leaders of the state House and Senate each appoint one member, and collectively select a non-voting chairperson. If they cannot agree on the chair, the judgepedia:Washington Supreme Court decides. The Governor does not hold veto power, and the Legislature can only make changes by two-thirds vote.
2010 census
Washington received its local census data on February 23, 2011. The state increased in population by 14.1 percent from 2000 to 2010. The major outlier was Franklin County, which jumped 58.4 percent. As far as the most populous cities, Seattle grew by 8.0 percent, Spokane grew by 6.8 percent, Tacoma grew by 2.5 percent, Vancouver grew by 12.7 percent, and Bellevue grew by 11.7 percent.[11]
The Commission released first draft maps on September 13, 2011. For the third time in a row, the Commission went down to the wire in agreeing on new legislative districts, finishing two hours and five minutes before New Year's Day 2012, at which point the Washington Supreme Court would have taken over. The Commission had mainly been concerned with the eastern districts and how to distribute Yakima Hispanics. The Legislature followed with tweaks, approving the final maps on January 27, 2012.

Child dies hours after social workers close case
Family photo
Social workers were investigating allegations of neglect, involving 19-month-old Chantel Craig before the girl died Oct. 8. Investigators say Chantel was a victim of parental neglect. She and her sister were found in a car on the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Records show that the girls were suffering from malnutrition and severe dehydration. Their mother has been charged in connection with Chantel's death.
State and tribal social workers attempted to locate Christina Carlson for months after visits with her earlier this year. State social workers closed the case around 3:30 p.m. Oct. 8 because they hadn't been able to find the Tulalip woman since May, according to documents from the state Department of Social and Health Service.
Relatives told social workers that they hadn't seen the woman for some time and suspected that she was dodging authorities. Carlson had a history of neglectful treatment. Four other children were removed from her care in the past, according to the state records.
There's no indication that social workers ever believed that her young daughters were in imminent danger, which likely would have resulted in removing the girls from Carlson's care, at least temporarily.
But on Oct. 8, the woman's daughter, Chantel Craig, died, a victim of neglect.
The 19-month-old girl was found unresponsive in a car on the Tulalip Indian Reservation just before 5 p.m. Carlson, 36, reportedly was living in the car with her two daughters.
Carlson allegedly told authorities that she'd left Chantel and her other girl, 2 1/2, inside the car for a couple of hours.
Police reported that Chantel and her sister were buckled in their car seats and it appeared that they'd been in the vehicle for several days. The girls were covered in feces, infested with lice and appeared malnourished and severely dehydrated.
Both children were rushed to the hospital. Chantel didn't survive. The Snohomish County medical examiner has ruled the girl's death a homicide from parental neglect.
Tulalip police swiftly arrested Carlson. She was charged three days later in Tulalip Tribal Court with criminal endangerment and failure to care for her children. The U.S. Attorney's Office also is expected to review the child's death. Federal prosecutors have joint jurisdiction over serious crimes on the reservation involving tribal members.
Meanwhile, state officials plan to conduct an investigation into Chantel's death and how social workers handled the previous referral to Child Protective Services.
"We want to look closely at these cases. If there is something we can learn, we want to improve our work and move forward," said Sharon Gilbert, the deputy director of field operations for the state's Children's Administration.
The law requires the state to complete a fatality review when a child, who is under state care or receiving state services, dies unexpectedly. A Tulalip Tribal official likely will be part of the state probe. The report must be completed within six months of the child's death. The findings are made public.
DSHS officials said they couldn't answer questions about Chantel's death or the earlier investigation because the case is under review.
"We want the panel to look at the case before we start offering answers," said Thomas Shapley, the department's senior director of communications.
Tulalip Tribal officials also declined to discuss any child welfare investigation involving Carlson. Tribal policy prevents anyone from commenting on social service investigations. Additionally, all child dependency court hearings and records are confidential. That is done in an effort to protect children and avoid stigmatizing families, tribal officials said.
Under state public records laws, DSHS recently provided The Herald nearly 200 pages of reports, documenting the state's investigation into past allegations of neglect and the initial notes about Chantel's death.
The records confirm that tribal social workers were involved with Carlson. It's not clear if the Tulalips closed their case.
It's also unclear if the records capture the complete picture of what tribal social workers did to investigate the allegations or what services they offered the family.
Child Protective Services had launched an investigation on Dec. 2, 2011, after a relative reported concerns about the welfare of the girls. The caller alleged that Carlson's young daughters had lice and open sores from scratching the bites. The tipster said the girls were dirty and only given bottles, not solid foods. She also reported that Carlson drank daily, often to the point of passing out.
A state social worker immediately contacted a tribal social worker about the allegations.
The state and the Tulalip Tribes have an agreement sharing responsibility for investigations of abuse or neglect allegations and delivering child welfare services to Tulalip children. The agreement clarifies the role of the state and is aimed at enhancing cooperation between the two governments.
The roles of state and tribal social workers vary depending on the local agreements between DSHS and specific tribes, officials said. Additional layers of complexity are added by the state and federal Indian Child Welfare Acts. The laws govern how states respond to allegations of abuse or neglect involving Indian children and spell out the tribes' jurisdiction over their children. The federal act was passed in 1978 in response to the disproportionate number of Indian children being removed from their homes and placed away from their tribes. The state law was passed last year.
The Tulalip Tribes began assuming jurisdiction over dependency cases more than a decade ago. The Tulalips' child welfare services program, beda?chelh, investigates all reports of child abuse and neglect. That includes any complaints that aren't accepted for further investigation by state social workers, lead case manager Jennifer Walls said.
"We go out on all referrals. We believe they are all important," Walls said.
On their end, the Tulalips have established public policies to address child welfare issues, including the rights of parents and tribal court's jurisdiction over Tulalip children. The guiding principal, according to the code, is that "Indian children are the most valued resources of the Tulalip Tribes and constitute the future of the Tribes. The Indian family and home are important for the support of Indian Children."
Meanwhile, DSHS has specific units designated to the cases involving tribal children. That's in large part because of the complex federal mandates involving Native American children. They are tasked with working with the sovereign nations and building relationships that respect and honor the values of the child's tribal culture while keeping children safe, state officials said.
"We have a very good working relationship with the Tulalip Tribes," Gilbert said.
In this case, two separate governments assigned social workers to investigate the allegations of neglect. From the beginning, they had difficulties locating Carlson. Once they received the relative's call in December 2011, they tried on three separate occasions to find the family.
The tribal social worker told his state counterpart he would be asking tribal police officers to try to locate Carlson. The mother reportedly called and agreed to meet with the social workers the next day.
The social workers visited Carlson, who reportedly had moved in with the girls' father. The social workers noted that the home and children were clean.
"Children appeared to be healthy and had no scratches," the social worker wrote.
The parents reportedly admitted they drank alcohol but said they had contacted authorities to be evaluated for substance abuse problems and possible treatment. They agreed to sign a safety plan with the tribal social worker.
Based on the social workers' observations, there wasn't a recommendation to remove the children, Shapley said.
"Social workers are required to make reasonable efforts to keep the family together. Social workers offer services and if the family says 'no,' the social worker must decide if there is such a level of risk that the child should be placed out of the home," Gilbert said. "The challenge is the balancing act between supporting, maintaining and strengthening families and keeping children safe."
The Tulalips take a similar stance.
"The goal always is to reunify families, but safely reunify the families," Walls said.
State records show that social workers, despite not finding any signs of abuse or neglect during their visit, continued to try to assist the family. About two weeks after the first visit late last year, the tribal social worker discovered that the parents weren't engaged in services as they had reported. He planned to meet with them again.
"In a situation like this one, you can't force services on people," Shapley said. "If you have a situation where there is serious neglect or abuse, it may be necessary to remove the children and the court may order the parent to partake in certain services for the child to be returned."
Records indicate that Carlson had participated in mental health counseling, medication management, drug testing and a drug and alcohol assessment. It's unclear when these services were provided. A social worker also noted that Carlson declined counseling for one of her daughters, and also said no to parenting classes or resources for domestic violence victims.
In February, the state social worker received an update from the tribal social worker that the parents still weren't engaged in services. Plans were made for social workers to visit the family again. The next note, dated May 17, says social workers were still trying.
Four days later, the social worker wrote, "attempt to locate family again with no success." Several similar notes appear in the records. The notes say that the tribal social worker planned to check with tribal housing authorities for help finding Carlson.
Social workers are expected to make diligent efforts to locate families, said Yen Lawlor, a deputy regional administrator with DSHS.
"A lot of folks we work with can be transient," Shapley said. "It's not unusual not to be able to locate a family."
Social workers generally check state databases for current addresses. That may include the rolls for those who receive state benefits. Police generally aren't asked to get involved unless social workers believe a child is in imminent danger or a victim of a crime.
"Neglect in most cases doesn't rise to the level of a crime," Gilbert said.
In September, a social worker deemed the Carlson case a "moderate high risk," but noted that the investigation couldn't be completed because the family hadn't been found.
The next month, Carlson's car was found parked in a wooded area off Marine Drive with her daughters strapped inside. It's unclear how long she had been living in the car with her children.
Tulalip is a tight-knit community. If blood lines don't connect people, kinship does, the deputy general manager Deanna Muir said.
And neighbors and extended family take responsibility for each other's children. The death of a Tulalip child impacts the entire community, said Niki Cleary, communications manager for the Tulalips.
"We all take ownership over it," she said.

By ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker
This past weekend, I had the privilege to be among the ASPCA team assisting New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and New York State's Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) in the execution of the largest cockfighting takedown in New York State history, and among the largest in United States history.
The ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response team is leading the removal of the animals, as well as identifying and documenting forensic evidence. We also established a temporary shelter at an undisclosed location to house and care for the animals.
On Saturday night, I was at the gruesome scene of the raided cockfights in Queens, New York, where we removed 65 birds. The basement was small and dirty, and seemed permanently haunted by the atrocities it had housed for many years. This cockfighting ring had been holding bimonthly events there since May. That same night, another 50 birds were removed from a Brooklyn pet shop.
The massive show of force on display was awe-inspiring. That the state committed such intense resources sends a strong message to the entire bloodsport industry about the appropriate seriousness with which it considers these crimes.
As horrific as these scenes get, it's important for those of us in animal advocacy to see with our own eyes the depth of man's cruelty towards defenseless animals. No one falls into cockfighting or just shows up at a cockfight by chance. Whether you're participating, refereeing, or just watching, it's a malicious, unconscionable, criminal act.
I knew there were only two reasons for cockfighting: sadism and greed. But as I stood in that dank Queens subterranean room, surrounded by a palpable atmosphere of death and suffering, I realized the two are linked at their core. The greed is inherently sadistic; the sadism is fed and magnified by greed.
Owners and spectators placed bets on the outcomes of the fights, with individual wagers reaching $10,000. These fights, which began in the evening and lasted into early morning hours, pitted dozens of roosters against one another in battles to the death. Often in such cases, the roosters are injected or fed drugs to enhance their performance, mutilated without anesthesia, and forced to wear sharp weapons intended to inflict maximum injury in the pit. Injuries we see include punctured lungs, broken bones, and pierced eyes. Win or lose, the inevitable result is agonizing death.
On Sunday morning, OCTF investigators, with the help of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office, State Police and other local law enforcement, raided a 90-acre farm in Plattekill. There, the ASPCA recovered approximately 4,000 more birds, belonging to rooster owners from all over the Northeast, including New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
These arrests and the enormous number of animal seized should open some eyes to the modern face of this abhorrent crime; it's both more prevalent and more savage than most dare to think.
While there are obvious differences between roosters and more typical companion animals, let there be no mistake in our position, or weakening of our resolve: Cockfighting is a very serious crime, and an example of animal cruelty at its most heinous and deplorable. No animal should be forced to fight for human amusement and profit.
It's encouraging to know that most people agree on this issue, and stand united to ending the brutality, whether it takes place on a rural farm, a city pet shop, a residential basement, or anywhere else.
Cockfighting is illegal in all 50 states, and punishable as a felony in 40 states. The possession of birds for fighting is prohibited in 38 states, and being a spectator is illegal in 43 states.
We were happy to see that the Farm Bill signed by President Obama last week includes a measure to strengthen federal animal fighting laws by making attending an animal fight a federal offense. It also imposes additional penalties for bringing a child to an animal fight.
Still, while this weekend's efforts removed thousands of roosters and hens from cruel abuse, there are many thousands of animals out there suffering the same sad fate.
The ASPCA will continue to partner with law enforcement, champion anti-cruelty legislation, and be present on the front lines to ensure that we're doing all we can to end the brutality, including prosecuting participants to the fullest extent of the law.
Doing less would not only leave animals unprotected, but would signal to society that certain forms of abject cruelty are conscionable, that we don't care about desensitizing our society—and our children— to despicable animal abuse.
We can't let that happen, and this strong collaborative act of investigation, intervention and enforcement is a loud step toward our shared goal of wiping out cockfighting in this country. You can help us take the next step by sharing this story with friends, neighbors, colleagues, and state or federal representatives.
Please keep us updated on the progression of the proceedings. Also when the chickens will be available for adoption. Poor chickens. They are really very intelligent little creatures.
they dont usually let those kinds of birds out for adoption due to them being raised to inflict violence towards other chickens. Hopefully not all of the 6000+ were subjected and can be adopted out.
they are game cocks yall dont understand they are born to fight they are not trained they ant raised to inflick violence they are game cock they are born to fight and for them 6000 chick they going to kill them anyway adopt out how fun
they are game cocks yall dont understand they are born to fight they are not trained they ant raised to inflick violence they are game cock they are born to fight and for them 6000 chick they going to kill them anyway adopt out how fun
Are you saying that cock fighting is good?
cock fighting is cruel and unnesessary and you agree with it?
i have chickens i don't kill or eat them they are free range and loyal
pets and i eat their eggs.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Recently a petshop in my neighborhood, Bushwick, was raided and shut down due to its involvement with a major cockfighting ring. The shop was undoubtedlt a cover-up, but they still had a couple of puppies in the shop for sale. There were two chihuahua mixes, probably a brother and sister. I walked by a few times and played with them, and even though I had sworn I would only get a dog from an adoption center, the little male dog and I just clicked, and I was seriously considering amending this rule for him. For a variety of reasons I had been hesitant in this decision, one of which was ironically the bad vibe I got from the store proprietor (the dogs were kept in bird cages in the front that were clearly not designed for dogs, and the man had really limited information about the dogs) I was wondering what happened to these puppies, and if there was any chance they wound up in a Brooklyn shelter. The store would have been raided six or seven days ago. If they are available for adoption I would like to find them. Thank you.

EL SEGUNDO – Demand for a third slow dance with Phil Jackson was so logical and widespread that even the Lakers' decision-makers were on the brink of succumbing to public pressure and re-hiring him.
They didn't do it once they had a series of conversations with an energetic, breezily confident Mike D'Antoni over the course of about 24 hours.
Click here to view video of press conference and Ding reaction.
So D'Antoni got the job as the Lakers' 23rd coach - instead of it being the 19th coach back yet again - and he showed off his vision, charm and self-assurance Thursday in an opening news conference that proclaimed Dwight Howard would be "unstoppable," the defense would be "a bear," the bench would actually help and the Lakers should score 110-115 points per game.
That good enough to sell you on him, Lakers fans?
"And that's why we hired Mike D'Antoni," said Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, who sat next to D'Antoni as he again sailed through plans - this time for media consumption - to play to the existing players' strengths in a carefree, empowering manner.
"Get everybody on the same page: This is how we're going to win a championship," D'Antoni said.
D'Antoni, 61, went through his first Lakers practice Thursday on two crutches after recent surgery to replace his right knee. D'Antoni's older brother, Dan, for now the only assistant coach Mike is adding to the Lakers' staff, ran most of the practice that included Kobe Bryant jumping back into full drills despite a tender foot.
D'Antoni came to the news conference after practice using just one crutch and promising he could get around fine without that, too. He expects to observe the Lakers' game Friday night vs. his former team, the Phoenix Suns, and be in place for Sunday night against Houston.
D'Antoni cautioned not to expect perfection right away, saying the drills the Lakers did Thursday are the sort he normally would be using the first day of training camp. He allowed that Howard is only 75 to 80 percent after offseason back surgery, and Nash is at least a week away from playing because of a small leg fracture.
However, caution more often was blown all the way back to D'Antoni's troubled last NBA stop of New York as he explained the broader strokes of how the Lakers are "going to play my vision." The whirlwind of excitement as he spoke inside the Lakers practice gym about activating a team coming off a 97.3-point average under Mike Brown last season was undeniable.
"There's no reason why we don't offensively go off the charts," D'Antoni said.
Despite how simple D'Antoni made things sound, Kupchak said later that "there is a lot of structure" to how D'Antoni makes things work. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich calls D'Antoni a master of offensive spacing, and D'Antoni said Thursday it's not necessarily about the speed of the attack, it's about the rhythm.
He repeatedly deferred the responsibility of establishing and maintaining that rhythm to Nash, and when asked about Nash being 38, D'Antoni harked back to those NBA MVP years in Phoenix and said the things that made Nash great then are things he still has now.
"Steve Nash is not Speedy Gonzalez out there," D'Antoni said.

Economy Added 184,000 Private Sector Jobs; Unemployment Rate Rises to 7.9% in October
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that on a seasonally-adjusted basis nonfarm payrolls increased by 171,000 during October with private sector payrolls growing by 184,000.
Despite the gains reported for October, the current recovery remains substandard in terms of growth and private sector job creation. Since February 2010, there have been 32 consecutive months of private sector job growth for a total of 5.4 million jobs or slightly less than 5.1%.1
In the other nine recoveries since World War II lasting longer than a year, private sector job growth averaged 8.6% over the comparable 32 months.
If this recovery had progressed at the average of other recoveries in creating private sector jobs, private payrolls have increased by 9.1 million or 3.7 million more than the current recovery. An average recovery would have pushed us above the all-time high reached in January 2008.
Under a robust recovery, like the Reagan recovery of the 1980s, the economy would have added 12.4 million private sector jobs, instead of 5.4 million.
The Unemployment Rate Rises to 7.9%
The unemployment rate rose to 7.9% during October. This follows the surprising drop to 7.8% reported by BLS in September. The unemployment rate peaked at 10.0% in October 2009.
However, the drop in the unemployment rate is largely a mirage fueled by a drop in the labor force participation rate. The labor force participation rate stood at 63.8% in October. This compares to participation rates of 65.7% in January 2009 and 66.0% when the recession began in December 2007.
Absent the decline in the labor force participation rate since January 2009, the unemployment rate would be significantly higher at 10.6%.
The decline in labor force participation since January 2009 has reduced the size of the labor force by 4.7 million. Labor force growth is a key component to the output potential of the U.S. economy.
Any level of job creation is better than job losses. However, the continuing historically sluggish recovery poses a threat to the long-term health of the U.S. economy. An average recovery in private sector payrolls would have returned private sector
employment to levels higher than the prior peak in January 2008. The additional 3.7 million private sector jobs that "average" would have delivered would place the U.S. economy in a far better position.

After five seasons on the air, CBS has killed a staple of the Friday night schedule. Ghost Whisperer won't be back next fall on the Tiffany network. Not unless it can come back from the dead…
Ghost Whisperer tells the tale of Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a young woman with the ability to see and talk to dead people. Regular castmembers over the past five seasons have included David Conrad, Camryn Manheim, Jay Mohr, Aisha Tyler, Christoph Sanders, Jamie Kennedy, and Kenneth Mitchell.
The TV show debuted in September 2005 and the season attracted an average of a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 10.2 million viewers. In seasons two and three, the demo rose to a 3.0 rating with 9.9 and 8.6 million viewers respectively. For season four, the ratings went up again, to a 3.7 rating and 10.6 million viewers.
Unfortunately this year, the ratings fell — a lot. The season kicked off with a 2.3 rating and 8.7 million viewers. Things went further downhill from there. Last month, they hit a series low with a 1.3 rating in the demo and 5.96 million viewers. Though Ghost Whisperer was once a hit show for the network, those times are clearly over.
To little surprise, CBS has decided to cancel Ghost Whisperer. The series finale is set to air this Friday, May 21st.
However, because ABC Studios co-produces the series (with CBS), there have been discussions that it could switch networks. Medium ran for years on NBC before being cancelled and picked up by CBS.
ABC's entertainment president, Stephen McPherson, has said that he'd be interested in picking up Ghost Whisperer if the series became available. ABC scheduler Jeff Bader told Variety today that they've toyed with the idea. He said, "We talked a lot about it. It could make a good lead-in to Body of Proof."
To keep costs down, ABC has been committed to running only one scripted series on Friday nights but the execs will supposedly look at the possibility of picking up Ghost Whisperer in the next few days.
What do you think? Should ABC pick up Ghost Whisperer for season six or should it stay cancelled?

Angry Robot is a new science fiction, fantasy and horror imprint from Harper Collins. Their first two books launch this week, with the next two arriving in August and, as a friend of mine is the assistant editor on the line I was lucky enough to be sent review copies of their first four titles; Moxyland, Slights, Book of Secrets and Nekropolis.
With the web now all but ubiquitous and Twitter beginning to crest into something genuinely fascinating, it seems eminently appropriate that one of Angry Robot's first books is a remarkably tech savvy thriller with a very different perspective. Moxyland is set in Capetown, ten years into a future where connectivity and online communications has become something close to currency in its own right and being offline is tantamount to being an outcast. Toby, a slacker who toys with the underworld finds his life intertwined with Kendra, a woman so desperate to be accepted she's become a sponsorbaby, a nanotech enhanced living advert. At the same time, Lerato, a corporate programmer who is as bored as she is brilliant and Tendeka, a revolutionary trying to bring down the corporate culture choking her hometown take actions that will bring them into the orbits of Toby, Kendra, and each other.
The genuinely difficult thing about near future science fiction is to make it both convincing and different. Don't do enough and it becomes a contemporary thriller, do too much and it becomes dystopian science fiction. On top of that, the ghost of Blade Runner hovers like Banquo over the proceedings, daring authors to tilt at the definitive Cyberpunk windmill.
Moxyland avoids all those pitfalls due to three very simple, highly effective elements of the book. The setting is the first and most important, Cape Town becoming a vibrant, fascinating, evolving city that shares DNA with Blade Runner's Los Angeles and Akira's Neo Tokyo but is still a unique entity in its own right.
Secondly, the book is cheerfully pragmatic, the characters all flawed, normal people with the same concerns we have, albeit projected ten years into the future. These aren't Cyberpunk stereotypes, strutting around, flexing their cybernetic angst muscles but normal, flawed, slightly desperate people. Finally, there's the book's cheerful, maniacal invention, taking in everything from the sponsorbabies to art with genetic structures and sculpted attack dogs. It's a resolutely normal, resolutely different, fascinating world that Lauren Beukes has incredible fun showing to her readers. As debut books for both the author and the line go, this is as good as it can get.
Slights by Kaaron Warren is the latest in a series of novels which are slowly but surely rebuilding the horror genre as a rich, inventive field. Stephanie kills people. She's very, very good at it and the fact she does it has never bothered her until now. Because Stephanie's mother is dead, Stephanie almost died in the same accident and when she did, she went to a room fillled with all the people she's ever killed. They bite and scratch and claw at her but she survives, only to become more and more obsessed with the room, the people in it and what it feels like to die instead of kill.
Slights is about as horrific as its possible to get, a novel that trawls the depths of human depravity to explore what happens at the edge of human understanding. Waaron has a keen ear for prose and dialogue and a very strong sense of the normal, making the horrific events of the book all the more unsettling. Where Moxyland drops you in at the deep end and allows you to swim to the edges, Slights holds your head under water until you almost black out, lets you up, then does it again. This is kitchen sink horror, pragmatic and savage, brutal and human all at once. This is a story the Man in Black would be happy to tell and I can think of no better praise than that.
Chris Roberson's Book of Secrets heads up the second pair of releases, scheduled for the 6th of August. Spencer Finch is a reporter searching for a book that everyone from cat burglars to monks seems to want. It's a difficult case, a rabbit hole that he finds himself running headlong down and that appears to have something to do with a chest of golden age pulp magazines left to him by his grandfather. Something terrible is bound up in the book of secrets, and whether he likes it or not, Spencer's life is intimately connected with it.
Expanded from Voices of Thunder, one of Roberson's earliest novels, Book of Secrets incorporates many of the author's favourite tropes. The love for golden age pulp is here as is the idea that books hold power, that ideas have weight and shape and form. It's a fascinating book, paced at breakneck speed with a hard nosed first person narrative and some great offhand jokes. A lost Greek play is referred to as 'No Mr Nice God', armies of masked vigilantes parade across the page and the true history of mankind is revealed. Which isn't bad going for a journalist who just wants to file a story.
The real star here is Roberson's easy going prose, that carries some big ideas along with elegance and grace and places the story in a unique hinterland somewhere between steampunk and action thriller, weaving Spencer's life into ancient Greek literature and the pulp stories written by his grandfather. It's arguably the most commercial of the four books but that isn't to say that it's the least. This is a smart, literate thriller written by an author whose love for the form is clear.
There are a million stories in the dead city in the pit, a million lives and unlives powered by deceit and passion. Some of them get in trouble, some of them need help and some of them find Matt Richter, a private eye who is already dead himself.
Nekropolis by Tim Waggoner, does similar work to Roberson's Book of Secrets in so far as it crosses genres. However, here the two genres are supernatural thriller and hard boiled crime, Matt Richter's unlife owing as much to Raymond Chandler as it does to Mary Shelley. This is, after all, hell and Matt is not so much the Chandlerian ideal as a man trying to do in unlife what he tried to do in life; the right thing, no matter the cost. It's a tough sell, bringing these two genres together, but Waggoner's dark city of ash and bone is the perfect connective tissue for the story, raising it above cliché and into realms of surprisingly dark horror. This is the first in a series of three stories and I'm fascinated to see where Waggoner goes next.
A quartet of disaffected twenty and thirtysomethings, a serial killer who wants to die, a journalist on the trail of pulp history and a private eye deader than most murder victims. Four unique protagonists for four unique books, all of which bring something new to the table be it author, perspective or style. This is a great start for the imprint, a quartet of unique, fascinating voices that make a powerful statement about the imprint's intentions as much as tell good stories in their own right. This robot should be angry for a long time to come and that does nothing but bode well for genre fiction.

About Frontier Ruckus
Frontier Ruckus set to release new album
A lot has been happening in the world of Frontier Ruckus. By the end of 2013 – fresh off tours of North America and Europe – the band returned home to Michigan sitting on dozens of new songs. By March 19, 2014, those songs were wittled down to become what will be the group's fourth studio album slated for release sometime this year.
Fans clamoring for a taste of what's to come certainly didn't have to wait long. Frontier Ruckus announced a series of super intimate living room shows that were played in two weeks over the longer winter. Naturally, most of those dates took places in Michigan, but two also found 'home venues' (of sorts) in Chicago, Illinois and Louisville, Kentucky.
If we had to guess when the new album was coming out, we'd almost guess that late August or early September sounds about right. Of course that's just going off the new tour dates now posted on the band's website, which has them swinging through the heart of the East Coast beginning August 18th with a show at DC9 in our nation's capital. That's followed by stops at the Mercury Lounge in New York City (August 19), Rough Trade NYC (August 20), Great Scott in Boston, Massachusetts (August 21) and Boot & Saddle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (August 22).
Sure, this band has played a thousand-some-odd shows in the last half-decade. If this is your first introduction, you'll quickly see why they've packed in fans across the States and Europe. More importantly, you'll learn what the Ruckus is all about.
Fans fawning over Frontier Ruckus (Created August 8, 2013)
Meet the group that's been causing quite the ruckus on the music scene. A Frontier Ruckus, that is. The roots-based band from East Lansing, Michigan has become known for lyric-driven songs that incorporate elements of everything from bluegrass to rock, and all sounds in between.
Originally formed by singer/songwriter Matthew Milia and banjo player David Winston Jones, the duo became a trio when it added Eli Eisman on base. The band expanded again when Ryan "Smalls" Etzcorn came in on drums, and Anna Burch was added on harmony vocals. Zachary Nichols rounded out the additions, contributing his talents on horns, singing saw and melodica.
Frontier Ruckus recorded its first EP, "I Am the Water You Are Pumping," back in 2006. Five songs on that project would ultimately appear on the band's first full-length album, 2008's "The Orion Songbook." Amid a shake-up of band members, the same project was re-released the following year on double vinyl. Around the same time the band signed to Ramseur Records, a North Carolina-based label specializing in folk and roots music.
Frontier Ruckus officially became a four-member band (with Milia, Jones, Nichols and Etzcorn) in 2010 as they prepped for the release of their second full-length album, "Deadmalls & Nightfalls." It received rave reviews from critics, and the band has since had a number of songs in the mainstream. Adult Swim used the song "Dark Autumn Hour" for four ads on the network, and in May 2012 raw video of the band performing a medley of songs from "The Legend of Zelda" went viral.
Frontier Ruckus most recently played Lallapalooza, and has upcoming dates scheduled in the United Kingdom for September 2013.

TRAINING: My typical day of training hasn't changed too much. I am still working with all the same coaches at Lauzon MMA. I've been working all aspects of my game and learning from every fight.
When and why did you start training for fighting? One of my best friends brought me in just to try it out, and after a week tryout program, I fell in love with it. It was awesome. So it was more by accident.
What ranks and titles have you held? Reality Fighting and AFO titles.
Do you have any heroes? My grandparents, my aunt Sue, and my father
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means the world to me. It's the biggest opportunity of my life, and an opportunity to change the way the rest of my life goes. Instead of working a 9 to 5 job, I can work somewhere where I can get up every morning and do something that I love to work at.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to college for three years at UMass-Dartmouth, but I never got a degree. I have two credits to go.
What was your job before you started fighting? Construction worker and carpenter
Favorite grappling technique: Guillotine
Favorite striking technique: Right hand
