Skip to comments.Trial in Chester hunting death points to one clear culprit: The gun(SC)(barf alert)
Posted on 07/25/2012 7:56:57 AM PDT by marktwain
CHESTER The pale fluorescent lights of the historic old Chester County Courthouse gleamed off the black barrel. The darkness of that barrel stood out, even in a courtroom packed with more than 90 people there to see what happens when guns with long black barrels are fired.
What happened on this hunting trip is somebody died.
This somebody, in October 2008, was a Hmong refugee from Rock Hill who worked in a warehouse. His name was Touna Xiong. Pronounced, simply, as Tuna Song.
The song, clearly Tuesday in that courtroom for everybody involved, was a lament.
The father of Xiong, overcome, who like his son had somehow escaped the bullets of Southeast Asia as a refugee after the Vietnam War just to see the son die from a bullet here, sat in a courtroom pew and wept. More than 25 Hmong family and friends sat there and looked at the gun that killed Xiong.
Michael Lee Hawkins, 48, never told deputies or game wardens that he did not shoot Xiong. He did not run away. In his statement to police afterward and his lawyers courtroom words Tuesday, Hawkins told police he fired at what he thought was a deer and he killed someone.
More than 50 people supporting Hawkins were there in that courtroom, too. They heard how Hawkins called 911 for help after he realized what happened, tried CPR, and there was testimony that Hawkins admitted to police that he was the shooter that night and in a written statement the next day.

Cain slew Able with a rock. Therefore, we should outlaw rocks.
Ripe for the AGENDA.
Responsible gun ownership & use require you see & identify your intended target.
Ready...AIM...fire is the preferred method.
Andy sure is a drama queen. This whole incident is a tragedy, but it's pretty clear what Andy wants to do about it. Take away guns. They're long and black and they glint in the courtroom light and they're evil and bad and they are made for only one purpose: to KILL!
Say, do you know where I can get me one of those "gas powered" rifles? Do they make a diesel model? I'm trying to standardize on diesel for all my fossil-fueled tools.
Would he be happier if the guy had been shot with one of these?
Sshay HELLO to my Little...Kitty?
>> Would he be happier if the guy had been shot with one of these?
I bet Queen Andy would write eloquently about the pretty flowers adorning the "high capacity clip".
I read the headline
I read the entire article.
What did I learn?
The writer Andrew Dys is an idiot..............
The author forgot the rest of his name: Dys(functional)
This guy is fresh out of college English comp, I see. Is he writing a news article or a short story? This sounds like something from the mind of an 8th grader taking an essay exam. Blech!
"It was a dark and stormy night. As dark and black as it gets, as black as my rotten soul. The gutters overfilled with black darkness and death, spraying up onto my black trenchcoat, reflecting the black neon signs on this dark, black night of hopelessness."
See, I can write stupid, crappy noir, too!
You might try the Harper's Ferry Arsenal*. That's where Merriwether Lewis bought his.
*Although I understand that sometime later there was a mass killing by some gun-nut there. They may have gone out of business.
"His name was Touna Xiong. Pronounced, simply, as Tuna Song.
If I weren't the nice guy I am, I would ping DougFromUpland.
You might try the Harper's Ferry Arsenal*. That's where Merriwether Lewis bought his.
*Although I understand that sometime later there was a mass killing by some gun-nut there. They may have gone out of business. ***
The instigator of that mass killing was captured and hanged. His name was John Brown of Kansas.
The gun was the culprit.
Read it it's Miranda rights!
If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words,
and spoons made Rosie O'donnell fat.
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde's reputed quote,
"One must have a heart of stone to read this death by shooting article by Dys without laughing."
"Andy sure is a drama queen."
Pretty much says it all.
>> sometime later there was a mass killing by some gun-nut there
If I was the editor of Andrew Dys, the columnist who wrote this turgid prose (and I use turgid in the sense of "abnormally distended especially by fluids or gas"), I would have slapped that fool until his nose bled, and sent him back to the minors.
Some of his more tooth gnashing writings:
"The pale fluorescent lights of the historic old Chester County Courthouse gleamed off the black barrel."
Geez, that sounds right out of a 1950s detective pulp fiction novel.
"The darkness of that barrel stood out, even in a courtroom packed with more than 90 people there to see what happens when guns with long black barrels are fired."
Arrgh. Just Arrgh.
"His name was Touna Xiong. Pronounced, simply, as Tuna Song.
'That's *Mister* Tuna Song to you, buddy.'
"The song, clearly Tuesday in that courtroom for everybody involved, was a lament."
Are you sure? It might very well be the Tuna Song Polka.
"More than 25 Hmong family and friends sat there and looked at the gun that killed Xiong."
Gun-gazing. It's a Hmong thing. They just sit there.
"No matter what happens, Xiong, 33, a naturalized American, left three children and a wife and dreams. No, four children were left: His wife was pregnant when Xiong died in the dark from a rifle that holds four bullets and was shot at him from 118 feet away, from up a hill, where Hawkins was at a hunting tent with his young son."
'As the haunting sounds of the migrating loons could be heard in the next state over, as if foretelling this years NASCAR finals, well before the sorghum harvest.'
Aiiieeegghh! (SLAP! SLAP SLAP!)
"Three shots were fired, testimony showed. At what, supposedly, was a deer."
At least he didn't write "allegedly".
"All those lives, affected and in the balance, because of the use of that gun. Or the alleged misuse of a gun, in three fired shots around 6:50 p.m. right before dark, using what was described as a gas-powered, semi-automatic 30 caliber rifle made to hunt deer."
This is my rifle and this is my gun. This one's for hunting and this one's for Hmong.
"That rifle, huge and long and clearly deadly is why all these people were there Tuesday."
'Huge and long and clearly deadly, the gun from Ipanema is Hmonging.'
"This was not a crime of heinous violence like the guns that killed so many in Colorado on Friday by a violent criminal, but a gun that killed, certainly."
"... pertinent to a crime SO heineous..."
"I think it's pronounced 'henous'!"
"NO! Ladies and gentlemen, I have it right here: "hyenas. Any of a family of cowardly, carnivorous beast of Asia and Africa."
—(from The Kentucky Fried Movie)
"...before cutting the spinal cord into spaghetti."
I make-a you the spaghetti,
And-a pizza that's good to chew,
You no like-a me hey!
Thatsamadda for you!
— (Bugs Bunny)
"The elected prosecutor for Chester County, Doug Barfield, held up that gun at least seven times, for several witnesses. The gun was talked about, looked at, held."
As I was going to St. Ives, I held a gun up seven times.
"The gun was the sole reason anybody was there Tuesday..."
The trial had nothing to do with it.
You look through the sight onto your target and pull the trigger, testified David Black, the SLED weapons expert who testified that in his opinion, after testing, the gun in court fired the bullets found in the case. The firing pin hits the cartridge, detonates the gunpowder, and the expanding gases force out the bullet.
"He did not shout out the Boom that all know comes: The gunshot."
What is the sound of a columnist/journalist thrown out of a high rise window? I bet an expert would testify that it's sort of an "AAAAIIIEEEEGGGGHHH! sound, followed by a splooshy sort of splat sound, in his expert opinion.
Because, of course, nobody knows what happens when somebody is thrown out of a high rise window. Or when a gun fires.
Oh man... you really wrote that?

Shopping, fashion, and watching "Sex and the City the Movie"!
Those were the highlights of the ultimate "Girls Day Out" at the Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction.
The afternoon included a champagne and strawberry reception, fashion show, vendors and entertainment, and a viewing of the movie "Sex and the City".
Ladies say it was a fun way to spend an afternoon with friends.

July 14...Happy Bastille Day!
Over a year ago
Blogger of the Day: Cherry at Parsley Soup
Happy Bastille Day, a day to celebrate the Storming of the Bastille in 1789, and many other monumental events…
• The Fête de la Fédération, celebrating unity in France, in 1790
• The Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, the first major US world's fair, in 1853
• The first ascent of the Matterhorn, one of the highest peaks in the Alps, in 1865
• Harry Atwood landed his plane on the White House lawn after a recordbreaking fllight in 1911
• The George Washington Carver National Monument, the first US National Monument to honor an African American, was founded in 1943
• Mariner 4 took the first closeup photos of another planet in 1965
• and my favorite, in 1960 Dr.Jane Goodall arrived at Gombe to begin her worldchanging studies of chimpanzees in the wild
She's a true revolutionary…instead of ripping animals out of their natural habitat and shoving them into tiny zoo exhibits to study, Jane quietly and gently immersed herself into the chimps' world and learned volumes about these amazing apes. She is one of my heroes for her compassionate understanding of the animal world and the continued work she does, even at the age of 80 (!!), to ensure that all animals receive the honor and respect they deserve. 🙂
Cherry at Parsley Soup is a revolutionary in the kitchen, veganizing meaty foods in yumfully creative ways. A crafty teacher living in the heart of England, she's not afraid to cross culinary borders to veganize traditional foreign favorites like the Croque Monsieur. The CM is the French version of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, one of the world's most popular combos. Cherry's crueltyfree version is easy and delish so fire up your grill and start a vegan French revolution! 😉
Vegan Croque Monsieur
vegan ham (such as VBites, Lightlife or Yves)
vegan mozarella (such as Cheezly or Daiya)
vegan margarine
plain flour
soy milk
vecon paste or pinch of salt
black pepper
Details and directions at Vegan Croque Monsieur
According to the Rules of the Interwebs, you shouldn't post someone else's entire recipe, only part of it with a link to the rest, unless you've changed the recipe up bigtime.

I am working on putting together a site and one thing I noticed. When I type a post, the spacing between paragraphs show on my main post. However, on my main page, the spacing is not there.
My site: http://whitetiedjs.com/thatguy/
Also on my main page, how can I get the category/author to be right under the main title. Right now I have a space and I can't get it so that "Uncategorized/ Michael McCann" is under the title
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

LearningPreschoolers4 Comments
How do you feel about introducing your preschooler to technology?
I think technology is a necessity. While I don't want Henry to sit in front of a video game all day, I do believe that technology rules this world and will only be more so as our children grow up in it.
I've let Henry use the computer now and then. Practicing typing on the keyboard to learn the letter placements. He gets a kick out of it and he's learning in the process. The mouse is a little tricky for him yet, but I'm sure he'll grasp that soon enough.
Just recently I've been coming across more and more iPhone/iPad apps geared towards preschoolers. I have yet to try any on Henry, though I've downloaded a few. We have the iTouch and I think it might be too small for Henry to start with (an iPad would be awesome for him to learn on.)
A few iPad/iPhone apps that I've seen that have been talked about around the blog world.
|Above: Apps for Toddlers at Working on a Project
- Kid-approved apps listed at Treasures for Tots – her daughter has her own iPod and uses it regularly!
- Play Dr Mom has a giant list of apps for kids! This is my go to list. I've downloaded the Preschool Lunchbox, but have yet to have Henry try it out.
- Working on a Project incorporates technology into their Tot School. See the apps that they use on their iPhone and iPad.
- A super simple puzzle app is reviewed at 7 on a shoestring.
- First Grade Teaching has a list of apps shown on her iPhone, and tells you how she uses it in the classroom!
- Montessorium.com has a couple educational apps introducing math and letters.
- Smart Apps for Kids has loads of iPhone/iPad apps with deals going on all the time.
- For a little bit older crowd, there's a bunch of educational apps (adding, writing, phonics) at First Grader… at last.
- And if none of those fit the bill, here's 30+ apps for kids from Parenting.
- And here's 25 more (also from Parenting).
Get downloading. Oh wait, first win the iPad! We have an iPad giveaway here, right now!
This Giveaway is CLOSED.
I'm so excited to join 35 other bloggers to give one of our readers an iPad (or $500 PayPal Cash). Read on for details.
And we've set up a super simple form for you to enter. You have SO MANY opportunities to enter, its unreal (I'm pretty sure there's well over 100…) so get clicking!
iPad Giveaway Rules:
- Contest is open from Oct 3-Oct 24. Winner will be announced
- Mandatory entries are to follow the sponsoring bloggers through GFC.
- Then you can 'like' them each on Facebook, or 'follow' on Twitter for extra entries (they're groups together for super easy entry)!

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Fuerte Miramar Marbella
Loved it!!
Have just returned from a wonderful 10 days in the Miramar Spa. The location is ideal for the old town. Some of the previous comments are fair enough - the staff arent the friendliest in the world but were never rude in fairness to them. The most irritating thing about them is their snail pace (a simple salad lunch can take over an hour - most of that time just waiting for the bill). Gina who runs the boutique is a great character and some of the clothes & handbags she has are well worth checking out!! Our room was lovely. We were supposed to have a "standard room without view" but we were given one overlooking the beach and marina - all for 79 Euro per night, room only. It was fab sitting out there in the morning and as the sun came down in the evening watching all the beautiful cabin cruisers and speed boats coming back in. The room was spacious, beds were comfortable, bathroom was spotless, mini bar was pretty well stocked although get bottled water elsewhere as the bottles in the mini bar are tiny and with the heat we were flying through them. (There's a supermarket a couple of minutes walk away on the corner with the same group's El Fuerte hotel called Open Cor). We only ate lunch in the hotel which was alright - burger and chips; spaghetti with tomato sauce and the likes. There are buckets of restaurants in Marbella and they all open late. The food in The Orange Tree restaurant just off Orange Square is super and is run by Frank & Irene who are fantastic hosts. The MC Caf� in the Marbella Club Hotel is terrific. For pretty good fish, there's Varadero near the marina & we found a really nice Italian restaurant called Valentino down on the Paseo Maritimo. Will definitely go back to Marbella and this is the place we'll be staying!
Fantastic hotel
Recently stayed at the Mirimar Spa, excellent hotel. Wonderful location, staff very helpful, great amenaties, GREAT location!
Unhelpful staff
I recently stayed at the Hotel Fuerte Miramar Spa and while the hotel itself was ok, I was very disappointed at the hotel staff. I had put my diamond earrings on my nightstand and came back from lunch to find that one earring was missing. I immediately notified the staff (assuming that the housekeeping had moved my things) and was ignored until 2 days later when obviously my earring was long gone. Although it was my mistake to assume that their staff wouldn't move my stuff all over the room, I was very disappointed with their lack of attentiveness to this serious issue.
Other than this issue, the spa was OK. The location is good. The rooms are average, nothing special.
Great location, good stay
We stayed here 1 night, May 7, 2004. We booked it for its location and decent price ($210/night US). It was a nice boutique hotel. It had all the amentities, nice bathroom, and fun looking bar. I did notice some grossness on the box spring that I won't specify. The staff was friendly and all things were seamless.
We had a hard time finding the hotel. The roads are pretty crazy. When we went looking for restaurants, we just walked along the beach and there were a TON of choices.
We also went to a Casino that was 12 Euros away. It wasn't very big and you can't wear tennis shoes or jeans.
Email if you have any questions.
Above average but...
Very friendly staff, nice rooms but overall standard was only average for a 4-star hotel. The food was good but very unimaginative other than the meats. OK for short stays but I would think the menu would drag a bit after that. Not very good menu for veggies. However location excellent for old town centre, beach etc.
Great for a short break
We stayed 4 nights in mid-October 2003, selecting on the basis of location, facilities and relative price compared to other hotels on the internet. We were not dissappointed! Located within 500m of the charming old town of Marbella, and also within easy walking distance of a wide variety of restaurants/ cafes along the promenade. Breakfast provides excellent variety and enough to keep you going for most of the day. We ate out for the rest of the time, apart from one pool-side snack lunch which was completely satisfactory. Very friendly & informative staff, rooms extremely comfortable and very good views from balcony (we were 'side-sea'). Would definitely recommend; you might have to pay substantially more elsewhere to improve on the standards here.
Great location, Great staff, Great Hotel!
I stayed at this hotel in late August of this year for one week. As soon as you arrive you are greeted by friendly helpful staff. The rooms are very spacious, much bigger than needed. Our room was the closest one to the sea and the views were lovely. We stayed by the pool area during the day as the sea was too cold. Drinks were brought to you by the poolside by the waiters. One fault that we did have was the food was not of a high standard. The breakfast was not with fruit looking like it had come from tins. The lunch in the poolside restaurant was ok. I had fish once and it wasnt cooked properly, it was still raw in some parts. Every evening we went out for our meal so we do not know what the evenign meal is like. The hotel bar is very cosy and relaxing.
We totally enjoyed our stay here and plan to come back next year.
Very Nice
A nice place in most everyway. Staff was very helpful except for the check in clerk who made us wait 10 minutes or more while she finished a phone call that she answered while we were at the desk. That got us off on the wrong foot. Other that that really enjoyed it. Great beach, great buffet (35 Euros each), great breakfast (incl).
The Hotel is new, clean and full of great staff. We had to wait a couple of hours to check in, so were upgraded to a suiteIt really is right on the beach, and has the classic mountain view behind.The spa was quite expensive, but there were a few decent deals.The breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts i have had.
Loved the Position
Recently built, this modern hotel provides very comfortable rooms. During our stay we were very impressed with the special evening offering an excellent buffet with three large separate "food counters." These were also put to full use at breakfast. One even provided a chef cooking the breakfast of your choice while you waited.We didn't take advantage of the Spa facilities that are available but I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Marbella and sunshine
... I am pleasantly surprised at Marbella, it is the ultimate "Costa del Sol designer tourist haven".
Sure enough, there is a massive sprawl of modern high rise accomadation and "designer" shops, but, the "old town" is surprisingly quaint and well preserved.
In the middle of it all, there is even the remains of a Moorish fort, reputedly built in the 10th century.

The are dunes at the back and John calls them meerkats as the heads pop up from the bushes. Instead of coffee I needed a beer when we got to the cafe.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Dak Prescott had some impressive performances during his sophomore season at Mississippi State.
Now the Bulldogs' junior quarterback hopes a little more consistency can lead to even better things next fall.
The 6-foot-2, 235-pound Prescott threw for 1,940 yards and ran for 829 more last season while splitting time with senior Tyler Russell. Now he is the team's clear No. 1 quarterback for the first time.
Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen brought in 27-year-old quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson to work with Prescott. Johnson won 26 games as a quarterback at Utah and said Prescott has all the tools to be successful.
Johnson said Prescott has all the tools to be successful. He's also a perfect fit for Mullen's offense, which is at its best when the quarterback can run.

SensoryPreschoolers21 Comments
After seeing the sand piping bags at Irresistible Ideas for Play Based Learning, I knew it was a sensory activity that Henry would love to get messy doing. Minus the sand, we made our own flour piping bags.
After our Free Play : Stirring and Mixing activity, I couldn't let Henry miss out on mixing together the flour and water.
Henry measured and scooped flour into a large bowl and added some lots of water.
I poured some of the mixture into ziploc bags and added a bit of paint.
Sensory Play:
Henry squished the mixture together to mix the color in thoroughly.
I snipped a corner off the bag.
The mixture was very runny, and ran out of the bag immediately.
Nevertheless, Henry squeezed it out and made large colored puddles.
When the red color was added to the blue, it didn't mix together to make purple.
Instead, it created swirls of colors.
Glitter was added as a finishing touch. (Lots of glitter, the shaker is now empty.)
Henry noticed as some of mixture ran off the paper : "a river!"
The glitter showed the flow of the river.
Henry created his own rivers of glitter all over the paper.
Of course, this ended in one very sloppy mess!

Finding debates about the "controversy' of evolution/climate change?
Where are the best places on the web to find long comment sections of debate about the "controversy" of evolution and global warming? CNN had very long comment sections until they wised up and began opening comments for very few articles. Yahoo Answers has some, but they often only have 10-20 replies. FreeRepublic tends to veer into slamming Democrats, and I'm looking for more religious and non-science based arguments, like, "My grandpa was not a monkey," and "It's freezing outside, some global warming, huh?"
Explain life, the universe, and everything to a 5 year-old.

Fran Obrien is the best in my opinion and he runs the same office.
Dr. Obrien has always been very attentive to my needs.
Dr. O'Brien is the very best. I often tell my friends about how communicative he is... he always takes the time needed during an office visit.

Excellent, caring physician who is always thorough in his history taking and physical exam, as well as with providing detailed explanations regarding diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. O'Brien has been my doctor for years and I trust him completely. He is very thorough, kind, and is concerned with both my physical and mental health. I would never go to another primary care physician as long as Dr. O'Brien is practicing medicine. He is the very best.
This was my first visit to Dr. O'Brien and consisted of an annual physical. Dr. O'Brien spent almost an hour going over my general health and the list of "concerns" I brought with me.
Expressed multiple concerns. Not all were addressed.

The Zanesville Fire Department will be flushing hydrants on the south end of Zanesville starting on September 12th.
Firefighter Kenny Jones says hydrant maintenance is crucial for the fire department, so that when they have to battle a blaze, they don't run into any issues.
"If we show up to a fire, and this hydrant is out of service we don't know, and we need the water and it's not there, it's bad, so this way we keep up with them and know what's going on." said Jones.
The hydrant flushing will begin Monday, September 12th, and last through the week. Each day it will start around 7:30 a.m. and is expected to last until around 2:30 p.m..
"The reason we do this is for maintenance." said Jones "It's a yearly thing, anything that may be inside the hydrant barrel can be flushed out, making sure they work, checking all the valve stems. That way if they're broke we can go through the water department and they can get fixed"
Jones says it's important to make sure there isn't anything in the hydrant barrel, because it could create issues while fighting a fire.
"If there is stuff in the hydrant barrel like rocks, we've found a little bit of everything in them for different reasons, what happens is if that comes up through into our truck it can bust our pumps up render them useless for the fire." explained Jones.
Jones wants to remind citizens of Zanesville that flushing the hydrants will stir up sediment in the water, and asks that you hold off on doing laundry until 4 or 5 p.m..
He adds that the entire hydrant flushing project for the entire city is expected to last three to four weeks. The week of September 19th the fire department anticipates flushing hydrants on the east side of Zanesville, then downtown Zanesville the following week. The north side of town can expect hydrant flushing to take place around the week of September 26th.

There are some different things that I'd like to do with the title, for instance putting my site name after the page title. I'd also like to customize the title rather than just have it automatically be the name of the post type. Do you plan on allowing this to be customized in the future?
The easier way for users would be to add an admin page, but I'd also be interested in seeing a filter hook added to the title. That keeps you from having to add an admin page, plus it lets developers have flexibility on titles without you having to create a template tagging system.

Kabul's Museum: The Past Ruined by the Present
By JOHN F. BURNS
Published: November 30, 1996
KABUL, Afghanistan— On a recent visit to the ruins of the National Museum of Afghanistan, where he served as curator, Najibullah Popal turned momentarily to pause beside a gaping hole in the masonry.
''Excuse me,'' Mr. Popal said, standing where a howitzer shell had punched a hole the size of a truck in a gallery wall. ''Every time I come here I feel terrible. I wish to God I had never lived to see this.''
After 18 years of war, Afghanistan's present lies in ruins. At the National Museum, its past does, too. Off dank corridors lighted by shafts of daylight penetrating shell holes in the roof, galleries are littered with the rubble of ancient ceramics, statues and friezes. Broken display cabinets stand emptied of their ivories and paintings and frescoes, and of their kings' treasures of silver and gold. Some rooms are filled with bearded young fighters from the Taliban religious movement, who in September became the latest of the Afghan armies to seize the capital, and the latest to set up a military post in what remains of the museum.
The war, and looting for illegal sales on the international antiquities market, have destroyed a museum that was a repository of Afghanistan's history and culture, the most comprehensive record anywhere of civilizations that thrived along the ancient Silk Road that crossed Afghanistan on its way from Europe to China.
The collection spanned more than 50,000 years -- from cave-dwelling tribes that lived along the Oxus River to early Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic dynasties that achieved soaring levels of scholarship and artistry at a time when much of Europe was seized with barbarism, and on to the Durrani kings, who ruled Afghanistan for 250 years before the current upheavals.
With at least 70 percent of the collection gone, experts like Mr. Popal say the museum can never be restored. His main hope, for now, is that what remains of the collection, packed up and removed from the museum by Afghanistan's Communist rulers before the plundering began in earnest in 1992, can itself be saved from looting. But after three governments in the four years since Communist rule collapsed, Mr. Popal is not sure who controls that hoard.
''I spent 25 years here, and it has all come to nothing,'' he said.
The museum's destruction, and the scattering of thousands of its most prized objects into international art markets, have been little more than a footnote to the larger human miseries of the Afghan conflict, which has killed an estimated 1.5 million people since the first shots were fired in 1978. But many people believe that the museum's loss symbolizes not only the barbarism that has overwhelmed the country, but also the ways in which the disaster has been manipulated by outside powers.
According to experts who are trying to trace the tens of thousands of items that have disappeared from the museum and to halt the plunder that continues at scores of other archeological sites across Afghanistan, the various Afghan factions that have taken their turns in looting the museum, the Islamic guerrillas known as mujahedeen, have acted at the direction of an international network of middle-men, dealers and collectors.
Ignoring appeals from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which helped to finance an abortive attempt to save the collection after the first outbreaks of looting, and from organizations in the international art world that monitor the sale of stolen treasures, these experts say, agents and buyers as far afield as London, Jidda and Tokyo have made millions of dollars from trading in the Afghan treasures.
''This wasn't just a case of mujahedeen running through the museum and filling their pockets,'' said Nancy Hatch Dupree, an American historian and writer on Afghanistan who worked on several major archeological excavations in Afghanistan in the 1960's and 1970's with her late husband, the American archeologist and historian Louis Dupree.
''We know that this was much more systematic, and it went on for a very long time,'' she said. ''The people who did this, and the people for whom they were doing it, knew exactly what they were after.''
Mrs. Dupree, who is 70, is part of a small group of people who have banded together as the Society for the Preservation of Afghanistan's Cultural Heritage, dedicated to spreading an awareness of what is being lost, and to efforts, so far largely unavailing, to halt the destruction. The group operates from cramped offices in Peshawar, the Pakistani frontier city on the border with Afghanistan, which has become a sort of clearing house for the artifacts looted from the national museum and other sites.
For centuries, Peshawar, just east of the Khyber Pass, has been known for the skulduggery that stalks its sinuous bazaars. In one tiny storefront after another, turbaned merchants sit cross-legged on threadbare carpets, trading in gold and jewelry, in money and in spices, in guns and fighting bantams -- and, when the shutters are closed, in drugs, stolen antiquities and other contraband. It is here that contacts are made that eventually result in Afghan treasures reaching collectors homes around the world.

I have just thrown away two dozen mince pies because the Morrisons Best Mincemeat has a very strong taste of alcohol. Normally I would be very happy with mincemeat with a flavour of alcohol but the overwhelming taste from the Morrison's filling is very synthetic which masks any other flavours from the other ingredients. This is the worst filling I have tasted in many years of making mince pies.

Global Private Information in International Equity Markets

September 1, 2008
Journal of Financial Economics (JFE), Vol. 94, 2009
This paper studies international equity markets when some investors have private information that is valuable for trading in many countries simultaneously. We use a dynamic model of equity trading to show that "global" private information helps understand US investors' trading behavior and performance. In particular, the model predicts global return chasing — positive comovement of US investors' net purchases with returns in many countries — which we show to be present in the data. Return chasing in our model can be due to superior performance of US investors, not inferior knowledge or naive trend-following. We also show that trades due to private information are strongly correlated across countries: a common "global" factor accounts for about half their variation.

ELLENWOOD, Ga. (AP) -- Police are searching for a 14-year-old girl after they say two home invaders abducted her from her house south of Atlanta.
14-year-old Ayvani Hope Perez is described as Hispanic with brown eyes and black hair. She's 4 feet, 9 inches and 93 pounds.
Police early Tuesday morning were stopping cars and checking them during an all-out search for the girl.
Clayton County police say the two men entered the Ellenwood home through a back door around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday. Authorities say the woman inside tried to hide her two children.
Clayton County police Officer Phong Nguyen said the home invaders demanded money and jewelry from the woman. Police say that when she said she didn't have any, one of the men shot the family dog. They say the girl was then taken.

Upon arrival, Thomas is shown the roof vent that needs to be snaked. He quotes a 73 year old man $1500 to perform this service. As soon as my father said no, Thomas immediately lowered the price to $760. As my father was telling him that he has to be out of his mind my mother calls Thomas back to make sure he finally found the house (an hour and twenty minutes late) and he quotes her a price of $720. She declined and he charged us an $80 service call fee.
This having not touched a tool, climbed a ladder, seen a drain, and having spent less than five minutes on the job. This same job was performed by a competitor 12 months ago for $125. When I called to complain about the estimate and the service the office was closed.
I was contacted by Samantha from A-1 the next morning and expressed my complaints to her. She informed me that her tech was cutting us a great deal. Their pricing guide that all techs are required to give their first quote from states that this job is a $1600 job. If that price is refused then the individual technician can adjust the price as they see fit. This company subcontracts overcharged work to unreliable, unprofessional technicians. Will not recommend them to anyone for anything. They prey on the elderly and unknowing.
