The Mockingjay Lives in New Hunger Games Teaser
The short new teaser for the next Hunger Games movie starts out much like the last one, with a message from President Snow, who's now joined by Jena Malone's Johanna Mason. But this time there's a twist: an interruption from Beetee (Jeffrey Wright), who has apparently hacked into the broadcast.
It's not clear yet how much of this footage will actually appear in Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (out this November), but it helps set up the next chapter, and it's an effective bit of hype.

Feeling let downAugust 05,2014
Feeling let down
The following is from a letter to Sen. Leahys senior foreign policy analyst:
I have been completely baffled, no, the right word is horrified, by the U.S. governments complicity in the massacre taking place in Gaza. ... I was part of a womens peace delegation to Gaza this spring. We were detained and deported from Cairo. Our baby clothes and solar lanterns never made it to the Gazan women. I carried a letter of support from Senator Leahy for that mission. How can he have approved of this invasion by Israel? Has he made any statement condemning Israels actions? Surely, I must have missed it.
It looks like the strategy for Israel is to kill as many civilians as possible to crush the people of Gaza, not just their elected Hamas government. U.N. schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, mosques and churches where people are seeking shelter have been fired upon, killing over 1,000 people now. Water treatment plants and power stations have been blown up.
To me, it is beyond belief that anyone, most especially my Vermont congresspeople, are turning a blind eye to the realities becoming clearer and clearer with each bomb dropped, with each child killed. I feel I no longer have anyone I can vote for. I feel I no longer have a country I believe in. Please tell me I have missed something here.

Yes, you are correct -- seals were used to create impressions on clay tags, many of which have been found at Indus sites such as Lothal. And there is indeed a difference in the orientation of symbols between seals and the sign board/copper tablets.

Comments & conversations
As stated in the talk, the computer simulations were used to unravel syntactic patterns in the script, not its semantics -- if this wasn't clear in the talk, please read the review article: http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~rao/ieeeIndus.pdf and other papers at: http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~rao/indus.html The semantic interpretations were included at the very end of the talk to illustrate alternate approaches and to pay tribute to Dr. Parpola, who is a good friend.
Thank you for your comments and questions. More details about how the Indus script sequences were modeled can be found in: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/rao/PNASIndus.pdf http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0009506 The following is a review article on this work: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/rao/ieeeIndus.pdf There have been surprisingly few items of Mesopotamian origin discovered in Indus valley sites. This suggests that either the imported items were perishable items or the trade was predominantly one-way (from the Indus valley to the Persian Gulf and the Middle East).
Thanks for making the point about hydraulic engineering -- I was not able to mention this in the talk due to the time limit. The achievements of the Indus civilization in this regard are indeed quite remarkable. More information and photos illustrating some of these achievements, such as the "Great Bath", can be found at: http://www.harappa.com/indus/8.html
>In both languages, the script mixes phonetic and ideographic functions. >Is there any thought as to whether the Indus script follows a similar approach? Yes, the Indus script is believed to be a logosyllabic script, i.e., some symbols may represent words or determinatives (semantic markers) while others might stand for syllables. This inference is based on the estimated number of distinct Indus signs (approximately 400), which is too large for the script to be alphabetic, syllabic, or an abugida (alphasyllabic like current Indian/South Asian scripts).
No, there is no evidence for any links between Indus/Egyptian/Mayan civilizations.
1) Researchers are not using Tamil or any particular present-day Dravidian language but a reconstructed form of "Proto-Dravidian" that could have been spoken several thousand years ago. A good resource for such research is Burrow and Emeneau's Dravidian Etymological Dictionary -- available online at: http://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/burrow/ 2) The new finds are interesting but not universally accepted by scholars as Indus script symbols.
The new link is: http://harappa.drupalgardens.com/category/article-author/iravatham-mahadevan
I was not intending to make any political statements with that map or any map in the talk. The maps were created by graphic designers at TED based on creative commons images, with a focus on the Indus civilization rather than recent political disputes.
Certainly possible, though we would need to find good explanations for the different variants of the fish sign such as fish with a "roof" on top of it, fish with a dot or bar inside it, etc. Along related lines, Steve Bonta and Bryan Wells have suggested that the fish sign and its variants might represent different measures of weight.

Hypocrisy: Thy Name Is BushGeorge W. Bush likes to present the "war on terror" as a clear-cut moral crusade in which evildoers who kill innocent civilians must be brought harshly to justice, along with the leaders of countries that harbor terrorists. There are no grays, only blacks and whites.
In other words, if Bush hates the perpetrators, they are locked up indefinitely without charge and, at his discretion, can be subjected to "alternative interrogation techniques," what most of the world considers torture. The rule of law is out the window. Wild West hangin' justice is in. Even the ancient fair trial right of habeas corpus is discarded.
However, when the killers of civilians are on Bush's side, they get the full panoply of legal protections – and every benefit of the doubt. Under this Bush double standard, therefore, right-wing Cuban terrorists Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, though implicated in a string of murderous attacks on civilians, get the see-no-evil treatment.
But the evidence in U.S. government files is overwhelming that Posada and Bosch were the architects of the 1976 mid-air bombing of a civilian Cubana airliner, killing 73 people, including young members of the Cuban national fencing team.
So, the Bush administration, which has subjected its own terrorism suspects to such practices as painful stress positions and simulated drowning by "water-boarding," wasn't willing to take the chance that Posada might be abused in Venezuela, even though there was no real evidence that he would be.
Justifying Terrorism
The Bush administration also took no note a year ago when Bosch publicly justified the 1976 mid-air bombing. The stunning TV interview of Bosch by reporter Juan Manuel Cao on Miami's Channel 41 was cited in articles on the Internet by José Pertierra, a lawyer for the Venezuelan government. But Bosch's comments caused him no further difficulty. [For Pertierra's story, see Counterpunch, April 11, 2006]
"Did you down that plane in 1976?" Cao asked Bosch.
"If I tell you that I was involved, I will be inculpating myself," Bosch answered, "and if I tell you that I did not participate in that action, you would say that I am lying. I am therefore not going to answer one thing or the other."
But when Cao asked Bosch to comment on the civilians who died when the plane crashed off the coast of Barbados, Bosch responded, "In a war such as us Cubans who love liberty wage against the tyrant [Fidel Castro], you have to down planes, you have to sink ships, you have to be prepared to attack anything that is within your reach."
"But don't you feel a little bit for those who were killed there, for their families?" Cao asked.
"Who was on board that plane?" Bosch responded. "Four members of the Communist Party, five North Koreans, five Guyanese." [Officials tallies actually put the Guyanese dead at 11.]
Bosch added, "Four members of the Communist Party, chico! Who was there? Our enemies…"
"And the fencers?" Cao asked about Cuba's amateur fencing team that had just won gold, silver and bronze medals at a youth fencing competition in Caracas. "The young people on board?"
Bosch replied, "I was in Caracas. I saw the young girls on television. There were six of them. After the end of the competition, the leader of the six dedicated their triumph to the tyrant. … She gave a speech filled with praise for the tyrant.
"We had already agreed in Santo Domingo, that everyone who comes from Cuba to glorify the tyrant had to run the same risks as those men and women that fight alongside the tyranny." [The comment about Santo Domingo was an apparent reference to a strategy meeting by a right-wing terrorist organization, CORU, which took place in the Dominican Republic in 1976.]
"If you ran into the family members who were killed in that plane, wouldn't you think it difficult?" Cao asked.
"No, because in the end those who were there had to know that they were cooperating with the tyranny in Cuba," Bosch answered.
In an article about Bosch's remarks, lawyer Pertierra said the answers "give us a glimpse into the mind of the kind of terrorist that the United States government harbors and protects in Miami; terrorists that for the last 47 years have waged a bloody and ruthless war against the Cuban people."
CIA Files
Beyond Bosch's incriminating statements, the evidence of his and Posada's guilt is overwhelming. Declassified U.S. documents show that soon after the Cubana Airlines plane was blown out of the sky on Oct. 6, 1976, the CIA, then under the direction of George H.W. Bush, identified Posada and Bosch as the masterminds of the bombing.
But in fall 1976, Bush's boss, President Gerald Ford, was in a tight election battle with Democrat Jimmy Carter and the Ford administration wanted to keep intelligence scandals out of the newspapers. So Bush and other officials kept the lid on the investigations. [For details, see Robert Parry's Secrecy & Privilege.]
Still, inside the U.S. government, the facts were known. According to a secret CIA cable dated Oct. 14, 1976, intelligence sources in Venezuela relayed information about the Cubana Airlines bombing that tied in anti-communist Cuban extremists Bosch, who had been visiting Venezuela, and Posada, who then served as a senior officer in Venezuela's intelligence agency, DISIP.
The Oct. 14 cable said Bosch arrived in Venezuela in late September 1976 under the protection of Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez, a close Washington ally who assigned his intelligence adviser Orlando Garcia "to protect and assist Bosch during his stay in Venezuela."
On his arrival, Bosch was met by Garcia and Posada, according to the report. Later, a fundraising dinner was held in Bosch's honor during which Bosch requested cash from the Venezuelan government in exchange for assurances that Cuban exiles wouldn't demonstrate during Andres Perez's planned trip to the United Nations.
"A few days following the fund-raising dinner, Posada was overheard to say that, 'we are going to hit a Cuban airplane,' and that 'Orlando has the details,'" the CIA report said.
"Following the 6 October Cubana Airline crash off the coast of Barbados, Bosch, Garcia and Posada agreed that it would be best for Bosch to leave Venezuela. Therefore, on 9 October, Posada and Garcia escorted Bosch to the Colombian border, where he crossed into Colombian territory."
The CIA report was sent to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, as well as to the FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies, according to markings on the cable.
In South America, police began rounding up suspects. Two Cuban exiles, Hernan Ricardo and Freddy Lugo, who got off the Cubana plane in Barbados, confessed that they had planted the bomb. They named Bosch and Posada as the architects of the attack.
A search of Posada's apartment in Venezuela turned up Cubana Airlines timetables and other incriminating documents.
Posada and Bosch were charged in Venezuela for the Cubana Airlines bombing, but the men denied the accusations. The case soon became a political tug-of-war, since the suspects were in possession of sensitive Venezuelan government secrets that could embarrass President Andres Perez.
Lost Interest
After the Reagan-Bush administration took power in Washington in 1981, the momentum for fully unraveling the mysteries of anti-communist terrorist plots dissipated. The Cold War trumped any concern about right-wing terrorism.
In 1985, Posada escaped from a Venezuelan prison, reportedly with the help of Cuban exiles. In his autobiography, Posada thanked Miami-based Cuban activist Jorge Mas Canosa for providing the $25,000 that was used to bribe guards who allowed Posada to walk out of prison.
Another Cuban exile who aided Posada was former CIA officer Felix Rodriguez, who was close to then-Vice President George H.W. Bush and who was overseeing secret supply shipments to the Nicaraguan contra rebels, a pet project of President Ronald Reagan.
After fleeing Venezuela, Posada joined Rodriguez in Central America and was assigned the job of paymaster for pilots in the White House-run contra-supply operation. When one of the contra-supply planes was shot down inside Nicaragua in October 1986, Posada was responsible for alerting U.S. officials to the crisis and then shutting down the operation's safe houses in El Salvador.
Even after the exposure of Posada's role in the contra-supply operation, the U.S. government made no effort to bring the accused terrorist to justice.
By the late 1980s, Orlando Bosch also was out of Venezuela's jails and back in Miami. But Bosch, who had been implicated in about 30 violent attacks, was facing possible deportation by U.S. officials who warned that Washington couldn't credibly lecture other countries about terrorism while protecting a terrorist like Bosch.
But Bosch got lucky. Jeb Bush, then an aspiring Florida politician, led a lobbying drive to prevent the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service from expelling Bosch. In 1990, the lobbying paid dividends when Jeb's dad, President George H.W. Bush, blocked proceedings against Bosch, letting the unapologetic terrorist stay in the United States.
In 1992, also during George H.W. Bush's presidency, the FBI interviewed Posada about the Iran-Contra scandal for 6 ½ hours at the U.S. Embassy in Honduras.
Posada filled in some blanks about the role of Bush's vice presidential office in the secret contra operation. According to a 31-page summary of the FBI interview, Posada said Bush's national security adviser, Donald Gregg, was in frequent contact with Felix Rodriguez.
"Posada … recalls that Rodriguez was always calling Gregg," the FBI summary said. "Posada knows this because he's the one who paid Rodriguez' phone bill." After the interview, the FBI agents let Posada walk out of the embassy to freedom. [For details, see Parry's Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & Project Truth.]
More Attacks
Posada soon returned to his anti-Castro plotting.
In 1994, Posada set out to kill Castro during a trip to Cartagena, Colombia. Posada and five cohorts reached Cartagena, but the plan flopped when security cordons prevented the would-be assassins from getting a clean shot at Castro, according to a Miami Herald account. [Miami Herald, June 7, 1998]
The Herald also described Posada's role in a lethal 1997 bombing campaign against popular hotels and restaurants inside Cuba that killed an Italian tourist. The story cited documentary evidence that Posada arranged payments to conspirators from accounts in the United States.
"This afternoon you will receive via Western Union four transfers of $800 each … from New Jersey," said one fax signed by SOLO, a Posada alias.
Posada landed back in jail in 2000 after Cuban intelligence uncovered a plot to assassinate Castro by planting a bomb at a meeting the Cuban leader planned with university students in Panama.
Panamanian authorities arrested Posada and other alleged co-conspirators in November 2000. In April 2004, they were sentenced to eight or nine years in prison for endangering public safety.
Four months after the sentencing, however, lame-duck Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso – who lives in Key Biscayne, Florida, and has close ties to the Cuban-American community and to George W. Bush's administration – pardoned the convicts.
Despite press reports saying Moscoso had been in contact with U.S. officials about the pardons, the State Department denied that it pressured Moscoso to release the Cuban exiles. After the pardons and just two months before Election 2004, three of Posada's co-conspirators – Guillermo Novo Sampol, Pedro Remon and Gaspar Jimenez – arrived in Miami to a hero's welcome, flashing victory signs at their supporters.
While the terrorists celebrated, U.S. authorities watched the men – also implicated in bombings in New York, New Jersey and Florida – alight on U.S. soil. As Washington Post writer Marcela Sanchez noted in a September 2004 article about the Panamanian pardons, "there is something terribly wrong when the United States, after Sept. 11 (2001), fails to condemn the pardoning of terrorists and instead allows them to walk free on U.S. streets." [Washington Post, Sept. 3, 2004]
Posada Arrives
Posada reportedly sneaked into the United States in early 2005 and his presence was an open secret in Miami for weeks before U.S. authorities did anything. The New York Times summed up Bush's dilemma if Posada decided to seek U.S. asylum.
"A grant of asylum could invite charges that the Bush administration is compromising its principle that no nation should harbor suspected terrorists," the Times wrote. "But to turn Mr. Posada away could provoke political wrath in the conservative Cuban-American communities of South Florida, deep sources of support and campaign money for President Bush and his brother, Jeb." [NYT, May 9, 2005]
Only after Posada called a news conference to announce his presence was the Bush administration shamed into arresting him. But even then, the administration balked at sending Posada back to Venezuela where the government of Hugo Chavez – unlike some of its predecessors – was eager to prosecute.
At a U.S. immigration hearing in 2005, Posada's defense attorney called as a witness a Posada friend who alleged that Venezuela's government practices torture. Bush administration lawyers didn't challenge the claim, leading the immigration judge to bar Posada's deportation to Venezuela.
Venezuela's Ambassador Bernardo Alvarez accused the Bush administration of applying "a cynical double standard" in the "war on terror."
"The United States presents itself as a leader against terrorism, invades countries, restricts the civil rights of Americans in order to fight terrorism, but when it is about its own terrorists, it denies that they be tried," Alvarez said.
As for the claim that Venezuela practices torture, Alvarez said, "There isn't a shred of evidence that Posada would be tortured in Venezuela." Alvarez added that the claim was particularly ironic given widespread press accounts that the Bush administration has abused prisoners at the U.S. military base in Guatanamo Bay, Cuba.
The Posada-Bosch cases point to one unavoidable and unpleasant conclusion: that the Bush family regards terrorism – defined as killing civilians for a political reason – as justified or at least tolerable in cases when their interests match those of the terrorists.The Posada-Bosch cases point to one unavoidable and unpleasant conclusion: that the Bush family regards terrorism – defined as killing civilians for a political reason – as justified or at least tolerable in cases when their interests match those of the terrorists.
Terrorism is only a moral evil to the Bushes when the violence against civilians clashes with the Bush family's interests.
This blatant hypocrisy often has been aided and abetted by the U.S. news media, which intuitively understands the double standard and acts accordingly. The U.S. press corps downplays or ignores cases in which terrorism has connections to U.S. government officials – and especially to the Bush family.

Dominic Lawson discusses five books on chess
Do you have to be very clever to be good at it?
It would be difficult to be strong at chess if you had a subnormal IQ, but you certainly don't need an IQ of above average. I'm sure you could find very strong grandmasters with IQs around about the 100 mark, which is the average. It was always said that [late chess grandmaster Bobby] Fischer had an IQ of 180. I don't know if there is any evidence for that. It wouldn't surprise me, but I don't know what the proof is.
What I have noticed in very strong players, though, is an extraordinary degree of concentration. You really do have to concentrate very hard for long periods. There is a very boring phrase for that, which is hard work. That's often underestimated, while the idea of effortless genius is greatly overestimated. And if it is hard work — and it is — then you must get something really quite special out of it, to put yourself through it. You need to really hate losing. Someone once said, "Chess is a battle between your aversion to the pain of losing, and your aversion to the pain of thinking." Because hard thinking is stressful and difficult. Quite often, the reason why, as we get older, we lose more games of chess — certainly in my case — is that you begin to get more pain from thinking than you do from losing. Also, if you're a young person, you're probably rejecting other ways of occupying your time, which most people would think are more pleasurable, whether it's watching: Teen Idol: or playing football or having a drink. It has to really excite you, so motivation plays a huge part. That's often described as natural ability, but it may actually be a description of something that is more like desire, a really huge desire.

Indian Jewelry, Prince Rama, Darktown Strutters, New Fumes
They're spiritual kin of the Butthole Surfers, which is to say wild-eyed freaks bent backward at the psychedelic altar of mind-expanding drone, gritty cacophony and sputtering industrial beats. If there were a soundtrack for America's financial meltdown and the ensuing recession, Indian Jewelry could have scored it. Formed in Houston almost a decade ago, the band revolves around married couple Erika Thrasher and Tex Kerschen, backed by a revolving cast of players. Vocals vacillate between whooping shrieks and speak-sung lyrics obscured in the thick, milky wash of noise. A shadowy presence hovers over each of their five albums like Lord Voldemort, a ghost in the machine fashioning the electronic thrum and dense textures that carpet their swirling rumble. Samples flit in and out like preschoolers at recess, their future trajectory all but unknowable. Though prone to frequent, noisy outbursts, they also feature plenty of dreamy (if still prickly) drift shrouded in a fog of ramshackle guitar, scratchy rhythms and keyboard whorls. Last year's Totaled explored a more aggressive din than its predecessor, 2008's Free Gold! They've promised another blissed-out slab of dark rock experimentation next year entitled Sufi Headbanger. Their live shows are just as bewildering as their records.

Ferrari California submerged in great flood of '13 will be replaced
Toronto lawyer Howard Levitt's silver Ferrari, nearly swallowed by July's flood, went viral. But he's getting another copy of "the most beautiful car on the road."
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
During the first two weeks of October, artisans at a factory in Maranello, Italy, will hand-make a silver Ferrari California for Howard Levitt, the lawyer whose last silver Ferrari California ended up swamped in an underpass during July's flash flooding.
By November, when the new car arrives at the company's dealership in Vaughan, Levitt will have been Ferrari-less for less than five months.
All in all, things worked out pretty well for the man whose sleek Italian car, abandoned in a lake of sewage, became a defining image of Toronto's summer flood.
"Everybody's been great," he said Thursday. "The insurance company was great, Ferrari was great, the Star was great."
Days after rainwater inundated the city, the Star reported that the abandoned sports car whose image went viral during the storm belonged to the leading employment lawyer.
Levitt ditched the car when fetid water rose to the cusp of his windows in a Lower Simcoe St. underpass.
Worried he would miss an important court date in Ottawa, he took a cab to the island airport, where all planes were grounded, then rushed to Pearson, where he caught a last-minute flight to the capital.
Before he took off, Levitt called the dealership and asked if his beloved 2010 Ferrari California — which he had purchased used only seven months before — was salvageable. The dealer told him the car was a goner.
It ended up being towed to a municipal lot, where Levitt's insurance company retrieved it. Levitt hasn't seen the car since.
The union between man and motor was not finished, though.
Said Levitt: "I loved it, so I wanted to get another one."
His dealership — Ferrari Maserati of Ontario — couldn't find the model he wanted in Canada or the U.S., so they ordered a new one from Italy.
The car retails at $198,000, but the dealer gave him a "good deal" — "they appeared to be favorably disposed to the publicity around my sunk Ferrari."
But Remo Ferri, owner of the dealership, said the discount had nothing to do with his flood-based fame. "He was treated just like every customer who buys a second car from us," Ferri said. "Nothing special.
"He's a repeat customer — we take care of repeat customers."
It helped that Levitt's insurer, RSA Group, gave him back 100 per cent of what he paid for the abandoned car, minus his deductible.
Ferraris weren't Levitt's first flirtation with iconic sports cars — fresh out of law school, he bought a beat-up Jaguar "with holes under the driver's seat from rust."
"My friends joked that it was like the Flintstone car," he said.
But the Ferrari California, Levitt believes, is in a class of its own.
"I think it's the most beautiful car on the road," Levitt said. "It's got power but elegance. It's the best of all worlds."
What's it like to drive a hardtop convertible with 490 horsepower under the hood and a top speed of 310 km/h?
"How does one describe breaking open a great bottle of wine?" Levitt replied. "How does one describe a great romantic experience? Or a great travel experience, walking in the hills of a Chianti town? Sometimes you can't quite put things into words."

Beyond Ground Zero: The new intelligence infrastructure
With the anniversary of Sept. 11 upon us, we offer four urgent suggestions to local, state and federal authorities.
By Oliver "Buck" Revell and Jeff Kamen
Editorial for the San Francisco Chronicle
There is no question that Americans are safer in their offices, at home and in the air today than they were that terrible morning almost six years ago.
Billions of dollars have been spent to reconfigure, broaden, strengthen and integrate the nation's security services. Laws facilitating integration of information and other resources have been passed. Federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies are communicating on matters of national security with the understanding that every officer must now be an counterterrorist, and with obvious good reason.

Newborn deer weighing as much as a bag of sugar is rescued after homeowner found it collapsed in his freezing back garden
- Newborn deer collapsed in an Essex garden was separated from its mother
- Fawn will be reared in rescue centre until strong enough to live in the wild
A tiny deer weighing the same as a bag a sugar has been rescued from a back garden after being abandoned by its mother.
The muntjac, appropriately named Snowflake because it was found in icy conditions, was discovered outside a home in Sible Hedingham, near Colchester, Essex.
The owner took the freezing fawn to a nearby wildlife centre and staff there have been looking after him ever since.
Snowflake is smaller than a cat and weighs just 2.2lb - about the same as a bag of sugar
Centre manager Amber Chamberlain feeds Snowflake some milk at Wildlives rescue unit in Thorrington, Essex
It is believed the deer became separated from his mother shortly after birth and was too small to keep up with her.
The man who found him said that he could hear the mother calling in the distance but thought it best to take the animal to the Wildlives Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre.
The newborn deer was in shock and could have died as temperatures plunged below freezing in East Anglia.

Rosie Catford, from the animal rescue centre, said they would hand rear Snowflake until he is able to take care of himself.
The deer will be released into the wild close to where he was found when he is five or six months old.
Ms Catford said: 'Snowflake was born in the snow. Deer tend to give birth and then leave the fawn in the undergrowth and return to feed it.
'We always say that if you find a fawn on its own then that's normal. But this chap rang the RSPCA to say he had a deer in his garden and he was worried about it and had put a blanket on it.'
'We told him to remove the blanket, then he rang back and said he was still concerned and sent a photo which showed it had actually collapsed.
'The little deer was in trouble and so we are assuming that his mother had just given birth because he is relatively newborn. It was a bit of a shock to the system to be dropped like that into the snow.
'He just wasn't strong enough to follow his mum into safety and now he's been handled there's no way she would take him back.
'Snowflake's not strong enough to stand up yet - he only weighs a kilo and is smaller than a cat.
'But he's doing well and is being bottle-fed with a milk formula now and should be fine.'
Snowflake was found in a residential garden in Sible Hedingham, near Colchester, Essex on Sunday

Red Hot & Blue: Streaking Dodgers' Merchandise In High Demand Around L.A.
Published August 23, 2013
GOING TO THE LIBRARY: The MLBPA and photo partner Getty Images recently shot Puig and P Hyun-Jin Ryu as part of their existing and now-growing photo library project. Formed two years ago, the union's stock photo library now includes more than 150,000 images and is used for a variety of endorsement, editorial, licensing and personal purposes. "It was a sort of a slow start where we were encouraging agents at first to make their players available for photo shoots. Now it's flipped around, and they're very often coming to us with ideas. The core mission is to offer a one-stop solution," said MLBPA Dir of Licensing & Business Development Evan Kaplan. Both Puig and Ryu have been in demand among companies for endorsements; Puig recently aligned with Rudy Project sunglasses, and Ryu earlier this year inked with Korea-based Hanmi Bank (Eric Fisher, Staff Writer).

Having notched up goals 29 and 30, on Monday, our prolific striker, Andre Gray, is looking to claim a massive personal reward, the Golden Boot.
Gray, who was substituted after taking his goals tally to 30, against Forest Green Rovers, is expected to be in action leading the line as Luton travel to Hyde for the last Skrill Premier game of the season.
Gray is currently 1 goal ahead of his closest rival, the Halifax striker Lee Gregory.
Whilst Luton, with Gray leading the line, takes on bottom-of-the-table Hyde, play-off chasing Halifax have a far tougher, on paper, game against Kidderminster.
Talking about why he substituted Gray on Easter Monday, John Still is quoted in the local media as having remarked,
"His hamstring was a tight and he`s missed a little bit (of training), so he`ll want to play on Saturday."
"It was the right thing to do. If he stays on and that becomes a problem, he`s not going to play in the last game and that won`t give him the best chance to score."
"So we`ll give him the best chance to get as many goals as he can."
We`re hoping that Andre can get on the score-sheet, hold off the challenge of Lee Power and claim that Golden Boot for himself.

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.
