Neko Sasuke
Itachi smirked; amused at the way the girl had blocked the attack meant for Sasuke at the price of possibly her own life. "I guess what I've heard about you is true." He said, twirling the kunai in his hand to remove the blood that stained the sharp metal blade. "You do anything for the sake of others without hesitating at all, especially if it's to protect or save my brother." Itachi continued to play with his kunai as he watched Sakura fall to her knees, her left hand on her stomach's wound. "That would be a disadvantage in bearing the next generation of Uchiha brats." He said, giving a mocking look of pity.
"Why do you care?" she asked, her brows furrowed as blood trickled from her lip to her chin, not noting how the neko behind her was frozen on the spot after witnessing what happened. "You massacred the whole clan and left Sasuke to live alone and miserable!"
"Hn, true, but then, that's what you and the kyuubi vessel are here for right? To show him the path of light, the path opposite to where I directed him." He prepared himself for another assault towards the bleeding kunoichi. "I managed to lure him to the path of darkness, but you had to come and interfere, you and that blonde brat, as well as that Kakashi intervened and directed him to another way, and because of that," he then ran towards her, causing her eyes to widen at the speed the older Uchiha showed. "I have lost and you will have to die!"
Chapter 5: You're My Reason
Naruto had just gained consciousness right in time to witness what just happened. Everything seemed to go too fast for him. Earlier, Sakura was the one defending Sasuke, this time, it's the other way around, except…
"Teme! You're back!" he yelled, eyes showing how happy he was despite how his body ached all over. Itachi narrowed his eyes when he saw his brother, back in his eighteen year old self, eyes blazing red and his whole physique clad in the ANVU uniform, minus the mask. The katana of the Uchiha clan was strapped on his back, and he seemed to be really pissed. "Hello foolish little brother…" Itachi seethed as they both jumped back, still holding up in defense position. "It's bad enough you killed our clan and left me alone, but having to kill those people who have become so precious to me is already low enough, even for you Itachi!" and he charged at his brother without warning, engaging them both into hand-to-hand combats.
Sakura clutched onto her wound, eyes not leaving Sasuke's form as she replayed everything that happened a few seconds ago in her head. "He… said my name… and blocked the attack for me…" she remembered how Itachi was so close to killing her, but then her ears picked up Sasuke's voice, and within the blink of an eye, he was already in front of her in his present form, defending her against Itachi. "He's back…" she thought, a small smile tugging on her lips as she continued to watch the younger Uchiha gain the upper hand of the battle.
"Impressive," Itachi commented, taking out three kunai on each hand and throwing it to Sasuke. "But I can't let you win." Sasuke managed to deflect and dodge the kunai thanks to his quick reflexes and sharingan eyes. However, he failed to sense the kick Itachi sent him, causing his back to hit the concrete wall behind him. He grunted and staggered to his feet, ignoring the searing pain that he felt. "Stay down." Itachi ordered, kicking him to the side. The 18-year old ANBU captain pushed himself up to his feet, glaring at his brother, telling him in a silent way that he will not loose or give in to Itachi. "I said, stay down!" he ran towards his brother but his eyes widened when Sasuke gave a smirk.
"What the-?!"
After Itachi punched Sasuke, he disappeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared behind Itachi, kicking him on the back as the akatsuki member fell to the ground with a hard thud, scrambling to his feet almost instantly when Sasuke had cried out his Katon jutsu. "Damn." Sasuke cursed, seeing only Itachi's cloak on the ground that was burnt to a crisp and not his brother. "That was one of my favorite cloaks Sasuke…" he turned around and was met with a fist that caused his nose to bleed.
"You lack hatred…" Itachi said, cracking his knuckles. "If only you don't feel anything towards these people, then maybe you could've killed me soon."
"You're wrong…" Sasuke replied, wiping the blood off of his chin as he slowly stood up, eyes not leaving Itachi's. "When I first only had hatred in me, I lost to you easily, but when I fight you for the sake of Konoha, for the sake of protecting my friends in this village, for the sake of saving other clans from being killed by you, I found the strength and power to somehow defeat you." He raised his right hand and had it wrapped around the handle of his katana as he slowly drew it out from its sheath, his left hand tracing the sharp and shiny blade that gleamed against the moon's light. "And now, it's because of them that I…" his katana started to emit the sound of a thousand birds chirping as blue light coated the blade. "…have become stronger!" and with inhuman speed, he managed to pierce his brother's stomach and electrocuted the Akatsuki's body. "This is for Sakura…" he hissed, pulling out his blade afterwards, causing Itachi to fall to his knees and shake as the electricity continued to shock his system.
"D-Damn you… Sasuke…"
"We could've continued living on as brothers…" Sasuke's eyes gazed at Itachi's in a serious way as he started to talk and let out his thoughts. "Why..? Why did you have to kill them? I know it's not just to measure your capacity! I know that there's a real good reason!" he punched his brother's face, causing the older Uchiha to fall backwards and struggle to sit up. "Why didn't you just take me with you? Why did you have to leave me alone in Konoha? To live in an unsightly way as you would put it? Why did you make me go through all of that crap when you knew how much I actually idolized you?" he ran towards Itachi and kicked him, letting out his frustration. "Answer me Itachi! Why didn't you just kill me on the night you killed the clan?"
Itachi coughed out blood and struggled to get to his feet, only to fall back down. "…you're my brother…" he managed to say. Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "And for that reason you made me have a fucked-up life?"
"No…" he answered, spitting out the blood that was in his mouth. "You were still too young to understand…" he slowly got up, clutching on to his stomach where blood poured out heavily. "The clan… everything was about the clan… I wanted to free you from this clan Sasuke… if I couldn't handle the pressure and responsibilities of being the heir, I knew that you won't be able to either, so instead of running away, I did the next thing that came to my mind, kill them."
"Why didn't you just take me with you then? Why did you have to leave me? You could've explained everything!"
"You were still too young to understand… and just by looking at you, I knew you wouldn't turn your back on this family, that's why I was forced to get rid of them for you, if I took you with me, your talents and skills would've been a waste." He forced a smile at his little brother who now had his eyes widened. "I don't want my brother to become like me, that's why I left you alone, I didn't want you to leave the safety of this village, where you have the chance to surpass me." He could feel his life slowly leave his body when he fell to his knees. "And seeing as you've won, I guess… I'm successful in raising you in a sick and different way…" he looked up at Sasuke, his smile not fading. "Now I can stop acting in front of you, I'm dying anyway, so I might as well tell you everything. Sasuke, the Akatsuki org, the reason why they suddenly disappeared, is because Kisame and I killed them. Kisame only did it because I told him to, and he can't say no to me, otherwise, he'll die in my hands."
"Why did you kill the Akatsuki?"
"They're a threat right? I eliminated them because I was already strong enough to do so, I only came here to let you kill me, but when we encountered each other on the day you killed Kisame, you weren't strong enough, you needed to have a motivation." His eyes landed on Sakura who blinked. "She was your inspiration right? And she was also the key to getting you back to normal. I had to somehow wound her to trigger you, and afterwards, attack her weakening state, which caused you to turn back to human." He flinched from the pain his wound gave. "Honestly, the vile I injected you with was the last one in Orochimaru's lab, and it isn't permanent, as you can see. You weren't able to kill me because you missed my heart by five inches, so I quickly healed myself and managed to knock you out, then I pierced my pressure points with senbon needles to knock myself out after making sure that my body won't be experimented or touch by anyone besides you."
"Then… when Sasuke pounced on you- that touch caused you to awaken?" Sakura asked, flinching when her stomach started to ache.
"Yes." Itachi answered, weakening by the minute. "Sasuke," his little brother looked up at Itachi with guilty eyes. "Don't feel guilty, now please, end my suffering, free me from my crime…"
"…hai…" and again, the sound of a thousand birds filled the air as Sasuke's katana emitted blue chakra. He ran towards Itachi with the blade poised to kill, his sharingan eyes turning back to black and started to shed tears as flashbacks of him and his brother's good times years before came coming in his mind.
Itachi slowly closed his eyes, his smile not fading. "I'm proud of you, Sasuke…"
"Nii-san…" Sasuke whispered when his blade had stabbed Itachi's heart, the chidori dying along when the point of his sword pierced through Itachi's body, all the way to his back. "Nii-san!"
You're the reason why I'm an S-class nin…
"I see, so that's what happened…" Tsunade sighed and stamped the folder on her desk, marking it as "success" and setting it aside as she had her eyes turn to the ANBU teen before her, most of his body covered in bandages. "Itachi planned the whole thing from the very beginning…" she whispered, earning a nod from Sasuke. "What a prodigy…" she sighed and stood up. "Anyway, job well done Sasuke, you may leave."
He nodded and turned around, heading towards the door but stopped shortly. "Hokage-sama…"
"Is there any news about Sakura's condition?"
"Well, you are aware that she nearly died, but then, I managed to heal her wounds completely, and she's just resting right now to regain her strength. By tomorrow, she'll be in tip top shape." Tsunade smiled at the remaining Uchiha who gave a nod and then left the room. "I swear, that boy really needs to let out whatever he's feeling towards Sakura…"
A knock on the door was heard and Sakura looked up from the book she was reading, the sound also waking up Naruto and calling the attention of Kakashi who looked up from his new Icha Icha book. "It's open." Sakura said. The door opened and in came Sasuke, his forehead had a bandaged around it and his left cheek also had a white patch that was secured by a medical tape. The three ninjas guessed that if he didn't have his ANBU uniform on, there would be a lot more bandages present. "Good to have you back among the human race Sasuke." Kakashi greeted with a smile. For once, since the last team 7 reunion, he didn't have a mask on. "Not funny." He muttered, turning to Sakura afterwards who blushed a bit and looked back down on her book.
"What brings you here teme?" Naruto asked, yawning. "None for your business." He replied, not taking his eyes off of Sakura. "If you two don't mind, I'd like to talk to Sakura alone."
Kakashi gave a nod and stood up, about to leave before Naruto yelled. "OMG! You're going to rape her!" a hardbound book was thrown at him, followed by a dozen kunai which he managed to dodge. "Are you two trying to kill me?" Naruto yelled, nursing the newly formed bump on his head as he glared at Sakura and Sasuke who also had death glares on their faces. "Trying? No. We were planning to!" Sakura seethed. Naruto gulped and was about to say something but Kakashi cut him off and dragged him away, saying ye bye to the two. "Oh, and Sasuke?"
The ANBU teen looked at him and caught a book from Kakashi. "You can return that to me tomorrow, it's the latest volume." And he left after closing the door. Sasuke looked down at the orange book in his right hand before shrugging and putting it in his back pocket. "Sasuke, you're not serious!" Sakura gaped. A raised eyebrow answered her. "I think you were there on my eighteenth birthday when Kakashi gave me a set of it."
"You actually read those?"
"What's wrong with it? I'm already of legal age, and besides, just because I read it doesn't mean I'm a pervert or will actually turn like Jiraiya, Naruto or Kakashi."
"B-but you're reading perverted books!"
Sasuke sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Sakura, it's a novel that has porn, it's not exactly a book for perverts."
"Of all books why that?"
"Duh, it's less expensive, has a shorter and simple plot, and it's a series. Unlike some books that actually have pointless drabbles."
"…" silence engulfed them as Sakura twitched. "I still say you're a pervert."
"How? You don't see me spying on girls taking a bath or following a woman around. Heck you don't even see me doing anything perverted aside from reading a book that had a rating of R."
"He has a point…" Sakura thought. "But I bet you're mind is full of those…"
"Look, I'm not here to discuss about… this, I'm here to actually talk."
"Okay, then talk."
He sighed and sat down at the side of her bed, eyes looking at the wall where the kunai he threw at Naruto were stuck to. "I… just wanted to say thanks…" he looked down for a moment, choosing his words carefully. "…for taking care of me when I was a half-cat, and for everything else."
"Oh, it's no problem, really." She said, looking down as well, her cheeks the color of red as her lips formed a small smile. The image of neko Sasuke came to her mind, and somehow, she missed the presence of the cat, she missed the affectionate side of Sasuke, including the jealous one. "So, that's all you wanted to tell me?"
"No." after realizing what he said, he slapped himself mentally for slipping. "I'm just wondering why you blocked Itachi's attack… you could've died…"
Sakura managed a smile and turned to face him, her hand reaching out to touch his as he averted his gaze to their hands then to her emerald orbs. "I did it because I would give up my life to anyone who is precious to me. I don't care what happens as long as the people I care for are safe." She felt Sasuke's hand clench and saw how his brows furrowed. "Sasuke..?"
"That's… stupid…"
"Why would it be stupid? I mean, it's not like everyone will all die when I loose my life, right?"
Silence answered her, and Sakura tilted her head to the side, observing how he reacted to her words. When he didn't say anything, she looked down, a frown on her face. "Besides, I don't think it would bother you one bit if I die…"
"Damn it Sakura! Don't you get it?" he half-yelled half-asked, grabbing her by the shoulders as her eyes widened in utter disbelief of what he just did. "Sasuke-kun…" his grip on her tightened and he slowly looked up at her, onyx eyes staring deep into her green orbs. "Don't you ever think what will happen to us? What will happen to me when you just act on impulse?" he questioned, eyes starting to blur and body beginning to tremble. "I don't know what I'll do if I loose you, if you die because of me…"
"That night…" he whispered, looking back down to avoid her gaze when he felt his eyes water. Sakura noted the droplets that fell on her blanket. "When I carried your weakening form to the hospital…" he was starting to shake again. "…I… was scared." Her eyes widened. "Scared of loosing you… I didn't know what to do, I don't know what I'll do if you would have died two days ago…"
"Hey," she called out in a soft voice, cupping his face in both her hands to make him look up at her. She gave a sweet smile to him. "I'm alive now right? I'm doing fine, so don't worry, stop dwelling in the past Sasuke, it's all over." She used her thumb to wipe away some tears he silently shed, not used to seeing him like this, it pained her to see him sad, and she asked him to at least not cry. "So, what do you plan to do now that you've accomplished your goal?" she asked, removing her hands from his face as she lowered her head, blushing under his intent gaze.
Sakura nearly jumped when one of his hands touched her own, and the other to raise her chin to level his. She blinked and stared at him, her face turning a deeper shade of red. He tilted his head to the side slightly to get a perfect angle for their lips to meet. He closed his eyes and leaned closer to her face, her eyelids automatically shutting her vision of her surroundings, waiting for the touch of his lips. "Aishiteru…" he whispered before fully closing the gap of their lips, sealing his love with one kiss.
"Give it back!" she yelled, jumping to grab the Sasuke plushie in the ANBU teen's hands. Sasuke smirked and watched as she desperately tried to get it. "Come on Sasuke, give it back!" she pouted at him, and he found it really cute to see her like that while still in her sleep wear, which was, by the way, only a long-sleeved button-up shirt and her underwear. Great, he suddenly had naughty thoughts. "Maybe I am turning into a pervert… only when I'm around her that is." He told himself, his arm still raised above his head where he held onto the Sasuke plsuhie, his eyes not leaving her body.
She huffed and crossed her arms, much to his delight since it somehow, puffed up her breast. "Damn…" he thought as he lowered his arm, causing Sakura to quickly dive down and grab the Sasuke plushie. "Yay! I have you back now!" she squealed, hugging it to her chest. Sasuke blushed after recalling how his neko self once rubbed its cheek on her bosom, and somehow, it caused him to smirk. She sensed it, and turned around to face and question him, but only had his lips crash onto hers, followed by his hands pinning hers above her head and had her under him on the bed.
"Don't let your guard down Sakura." He whispered in her ear, flicking it lightly as she shivered. Her eyes gazed back into his onyx ones, and she suppressed the urge to moan when he kissed her neck. "I think your team is waiting for you at the gates…"
"Let them wait." He said, marking her as his.
"Fine, two can play at this game..." she purposely arched her back, causing her chest to touch his, earning an erection from him. She smirked without him seeing it, and slowly lifted her right leg, her top slipping off to reveal her thigh. "So you're gonna stay here with me?" she asked in a seductive tone. When he gave a nod, she quickly flipped him, causing his eyes to widen when he found himself under her. She grinned cheekily. "Don't let your guard down Sasuke."
"Hn." And he looked at her chest which was directly in front of his face, seeing her cleavage. She blushed and quickly let go of his wrists to cover her chest, which was a wrong move since he used this to his advantage by pushing her down on the bed. "You were saying?" he smirked. Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed. "Just go to your team already, you have a week-long mission, maybe even longer."
"Yeah, why else do you think am I taking my time here?"
"Come on, it's just an escorting mission. It'll only take you long because of the journey there, but you'll be fine." Sasuke gave a small smile and kissed her on the lips softly. "Ja." And when she opened her eyes, he was gone. "He's getting faster each day." She sat up and picked up her Sasuke plushie that was on the ground. She turned to her bed and was shocked to find that her Sakura plushie wasn't there. "Where-" she stopped and looked down at the Sasuke plushie, a smile on her face as her gaze turned to the window. She opened it and let the morning sun and wind in, her long hair flowing with the zephyr.
"Aishiteru Sasu-kun." And she hugged the plushie tighter.
"You're late Captain." One ANBU member said, putting on his mask as soon as he saw the young Uchiha approach them. "Yeah, sorry 'bout that, I lost track of time." He explained, turning back to his girlfriend's house and gave a small smile. "It's okay, we understand." Another said, knowing very well where their captain went. "Alright, move out." Sasuke ordered. They were to head over to another country to pick up a close friend of the Hokage who will probably be a good supplier for their village. It was important of course, because Tsunade had marked it as A-rank, since the dealer owned a large company that produced rum.
As soon as he stepped out of the village's border, he turned back to Konoha and smiled, imagining Sakura standing a few feet away from him, waiting for him to be out of sight. "You're the reason of my existence Sakura, the reason I live." He looked down to the object in his hand, a plushie of his girlfriend, and smiled. "You're My Reason." And he lowered his mask and took off to start a new day, to finish a new mission.
The End
A/N: yeah, yeah, I know the ending sucked. As for the Itachi part, well, it would be cliché if I had Sasuke just kill Itachi because the weasel's a cold-hearted murderer who hurt Sasuke's Sakura-chan, so I changed it. Hehe. Goodbye to you my readers! I'll see you all in Yakuza II if I ever get inspiration to do it! Or maybe I'll see you all in Ironies of Life!

WE'LL SAY it plainly: culpability for yesterday's tragedy in the Melbourne CBD — a recidivist criminal with a history of armed violence going on a rampage in a car, killing four people and injuring dozens — rests squarely with Daniel Andrews; after two years in office, presiding over ballooning rates of violent crime that are the logical consequence of a lax and cavalier attitude to punishing criminals, his government has blood on its hands.
By now, everyone in Australia knows about the sickening incident that occurred in the Melbourne CBD yesterday afternoon; it is a tragic outrage and — the resolve of decent people permitting — ought to represent a line in the sand when it comes to butt-covering and "smart answers" to bat responsibility away from Daniel Andrews and his loathsome, incompetent state government.
I want to begin by extending condolences to the families who have lost loved ones — and wishes for a full recovery to those who have been seriously injured — in a mass slaughter event that could have been avoided if platitudes like "jail is a last resort" and misplaced concerns about the rights of criminals were dispensed with.
In addition to two adults who lost their lives, as 26-year-old Dimitrious Gargasoulas allegedly drove at pedestrians in Bourke Street to murder and maim as many people as possible, a 10-year-old child has been killed. A fourth victim has also died, although at the time of writing details are unavailable.
The alleged offender is said to have a history of mental illness and a long history of violent behaviour, and it is very nice that social workers and other do-gooders saw to it that he wasn't deprived of his liberty.
Who took the rights and welfare of the public — including an innocent child — into account?
There are certain obligations the state — irrespective of which theory of political ideology one subscribes to — must discharge on behalf of its citizens; paramount among these is to preserve order and to uphold the rule of law: for without order under the rule of law, the freedom of ordinary folk to safely go about their lives, with confidence they will not be attacked or robbed or murdered, is impossible to guarantee.
In this instance, the inability of Police to at first detain, and later shoot (or otherwise thwart) the alleged offender, is a failure of governance for which responsibility can and must be sheeted home to Premier Daniel Andrews, his government, and any public official who had direct oversight of a sequence of events that permitted Gargasoulas to be free to commit the atrocity that took place in Melbourne yesterday.
Police Media commented that Gargasoulas had "repeatedly become known to (them) in recent weeks," and references to a shooting incident last month involving Gargasoulas were also made, in a segment aired by Melbourne radio station 3AW late yesterday afternoon; on that basis alone, the guy should have been in gaol where he could pose no further risk to public safety.
It has also emerged that at 2am yesterday morning, Gargasoulas allegedly stabbed his brother in the chest and head at a house in the inner city suburb of Windsor; homicide investigators were called to that incident.
Another detail that filtered out last night, thanks to the efforts of journalists, is that Gargasoulas has a long history of violent behaviour.
So just how is it that he was free, at 1.45pm yesterday, to commence doing burnouts at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street before driving down the Bourke Street Mall, mowing people down as they scrambled for cover, and proceeding across Elizabeth Street before finally being rammed by Police several blocks further up Bourke Street?
Seasoned former journalist Senator Derryn Hinch — as plugged in as ever to what goes on in Melbourne — tweeted last night that his sources had told him that Police had seven opportunities to ram the car before it embarked on its deadly rampage down Bourke Street, but were denied permission to do so. By whom?
And whilst this is a perennial question of any victim of crime — especially those who have had a friend or family member killed by a known violent offender on bail or parole — on precisely what grounds did psychologists, social workers or other "experts" who found that Gargasoulas was no risk to public safety arrive at that conclusion?
This horrific episode throws up hard questions. The Victorian public will be lucky if it ever receives straight answers to them.
As indelicate as it may be to say so, the government of Victoria has blood on its hands: the Premier, his ministers, and whoever was in operational command yesterday are very heavily culpable.
On Daniel Andrews' watch in Victoria, we are witnessing in real time an attempt by an elected government to use the High Court — arguably in an abuse of process — to avoid an inquiry into allegations that boil down to a question of whether its actions in sequestering parliamentary resources for electoral gain amounts to official misconduct: it isn't a good look, and whilst it isn't directly relevant to yesterday's events, it forms part of the backdrop I will sketch out.
The insidious slither of the PC agenda of the Left — this time into penalties, sentences, and what we might term "incarceration practices" — sees more humane and considerate treatment of criminals than their victims; the mantra of jail being last resort is applied ever more widely, and it seems there is no end to dangerous criminals being released into the community whilst awaiting trial or in short order after serving a token sentence.
There seems no end, too, to the odious practice of finding grounds for special consideration for these vermin to use to extract watered-down penalties: Gargasoulas has been widely reported to be mentally ill; the reaction of the bleeding heart do-gooder regime is to say "there, there…we can't lock you up if you're sick."
Meanwhile, this special treatment is repaid all too often, on undeserved and unjustified bail or parole releases, with wanton violence and/or murder — in this case, both — and Andrews' government, elected at about the time a wave of public anger over criminals on release committing fresh crimes was forcing change, has failed to deliver on the expectations and outcomes demanded of it.
Whether it is APEX thugs terrorising Melbourne, or gangs of Sudanese youth perpetrating a rising number of home invasions, carjackings, and assaults against the person, or the drug-fuelled violence that is the consequence of a methamphetamine epidemic and rampant availability of other illicit drugs, what was once the safest state in Australia now ranks among the most dangerous.
Speaking of the Sudanese, most of their number are decent people; but in Daniel Andrews' Victoria, it is verboten to identify the scum in their midst terrorising old ladies in their homes and perpetrating violence against ordinary decent folk as Sudanese: to do so is fatuously said to be "racist."
Liberal leader Matthew Guy is little better, and I'm told he has privately had screaming matches with Liberals who have called the Sudanese gangs out as "Sudanese" on the basis they are "off message." This apparently bipartisan approach to failing to call law and order problems for what they are is delusional. Those who are in on the act, to use the vernacular, have their heads up their arses.
And then there's the small matter of the even smaller sentences that are actually served by those dangerous criminals who end up in jail at all.
The point is that having governed Victoria for almost 14 of the last 18 years, the ALP is heavily and disproportionately responsible for the law and order regime in force in this state.
Having now served in office for almost two-thirds of the four-year term to which it was elected in November 2014, the Andrews government does not have the dubious luxury of blaming the opposition or attempting to deny there is a crime problem in Victoria that is spiralling out of control.
The only parties to what happened in Melbourne yesterday who are blameless are those frontline Police who were simply obeying orders; these tireless law enforcement officers deserve respect for what they do. Notwithstanding the very real issues at play here and the tragic manifestation of them we saw yesterday, the Victorian community owes these people a debt of gratitude.
If it is true, as Hinch reported, that Police were forbidden to capitalise on seven opportunities to ram Gargasoulas' car off the road before he went on his slaughter spree, then whoever gave the orders not to intervene should be dismissed.
Andrews, for his part, has spent two years explaining away the rocketing crime rate with unconvincing rhetoric and creative interpretations of official statistics for no better reason than cynical politicking, but there is a deadly flaw in doing so. The position of the Andrews government is that crime is well under control, and that Victorians have never been safer. Yesterday's events prove they are not. The fact that Gargasoulas' background contains all the elements of foreseeable risk compounds the fault of the state government.
In other words, you can't have it both ways. If the principle of responsible government means anything at all to Daniel Andrews, his first order of business on Monday must be to sack Police minister Lisa Neville. His second should be to tender his own resignation. If former NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell can be forced to resign over an undeclared gift of a bottle of wine, then four deaths and dozens of people hurt, in an incident that could have been avoided through rigorous policy and governance, makes O'Farrell's misdemeanours pale by comparison.
I would be unsurprised if, in due course, the survivors and the families of the deceased launched a class action against the state of Victoria for compensation; the liability to the Victorian taxpayer could run into the tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. The realist in me says they would be entitled to the money. The cynic says they will never see it. So morally bankrupt is the Andrews government that even if a judicial inquiry led to an obligation to pay, the government would probably fight that all the way to the High Court too.
In practice, the senseless slaughter and the circumstances that led to it will take years to unpick. The trauma will similarly last for years.
But the buck stops with the government, where law enforcement is concerned.
Mentally ill or not, or premeditated in his actions or not, the alleged offender Gargasoulas' history is a veritable road map to an individual who should never have been released into the community: but he was, and with tragic consequences.
Nothing is going to bring back the dead, and nothing is going to ever make it quite right for those who were hurt — or, come to think of it, for many of those who were bystanders and simply witnessed the dreadful actions that were committed in central Melbourne at lunchtime yesterday.
But Daniel Andrews must be held responsible for what happened in Melbourne yesterday; it is the failed policies and maladministration of his government that led directly to the tragic events that took place on Bourke Street, and responsibility demands that consequences follow.
A shred of decency would see Daniel Andrews dismiss his minister, and resign himself shortly thereafter. But Andrews, like the government he leads, has no sense of public decency whatsoever, which means all care will be taken to protect the rights of the alleged offender — and the victims, in all likelihood, will be given the shaft.

Each week the Noise highlights 12 somewhat obscure, unobvious names who he believes are destined to torch the competition. For those playing the Flames home edition, each player must be started in fewer than 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues to qualify. As an accountability advocate, results, whether genius or moronic, will post the following week using the revamped scoring system shown here . If you're a member of TEAM HUEVOS, post your Week 15 Flames in the comments.
[Related: Pastor's comments do Tim Tebow and Broncos a disservice]
Tim Tebow, Den, QB (Week 15 Noise QB Rank: 7, 26-percent started)
Matchup: vs. NE
According to Michael Lombardi, Denver's original plan for Tebow was to appease the team's insatiable fan-base by allowing him to play. Essentially, John Elway wanted to wash his hands of the mess Josh McDaniels created. But the team president, like many, has become a convert, joining the masses in their praise of the Mile High Messiah. The same can't be said of the fantasy community. Many continue to give Tebow the stiff arm, evident in his low-start percentage. His gut-wrenching three quarters of ineffectiveness apparently is too much for most to bear. Y! colleague Michael Salfino is right. Tebow isn't the prettiest of passers. His mechanics are still greatly flawed and he's earned too much credit for wins generated not by supernatural forces, but by gifts the opposition has served on a silver platter (e.g. Marion Bartman, CHI's prevent defense). Credit to the QB, he's taken advantage. This week, however, could be all him. New England runs zone almost exclusively on defense. Injuries and a lack of talent has forced Bill Belichick into relying on the risky tactic. As a result, quarterbacks of various achievement levels have torched them. In total, 11 passers have surpassed the 20-point mark against the Pats, including the likes of Chad Henne, Jason Campbell and Dan Orlovsky. Yes, Tebow has made a number of quality NFL throws of late, especially downfield. Still, his best fantasy asset is and will remain his legs. Belichick will undoubtedly devise a game-plan to force Tebow into uncomfortable situations, but, if the Pats pile on the points early, the signal caller will no doubt find wide spaces open spaces to run wild. Based on the incredibly favorable matchup and possible catch-up element, it's conceivable the fantasy legend of No. 15 grows. In reality, a victory over the AFC Goliath may permanently erase doubts about his unrefined skills. With every improbable Tebow-led victory, an angel gets its wings. Start him, and you too could earn a divine reward.
Fearless Forecast: 22-41, 248 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown, 0 interceptions, 54 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 27.8 fantasy points
Felix Jones, Dal, RB (Week 15 Noise RB Rank: 8, 17-percent started)
Matchup: at TB
The Noise, at the forefront of the Felix for Fantasy Stud movement back in August, may finally prove prophetic, in a way. It's quite plausible the underachieving rusher will lead owners to a fantasy championship after all, a laughable thought just a few days ago. Jones filled in brilliantly after rookie sensation DeMarco Murray was felled by a season-ending fractured ankle Sunday night against New York, totaling 137 yards while averaging 6.6 yards per carry. His century mark effort on the ground was only the third of his bland four-year career. Pegged as a breakout candidate preseason, Felix was expected to shoulder the load and cash-in on his first round promise. His situation was ripe — terrific offensive environment, emerging O-line, versatile skill set. Predictably, though, the peanut brittle back suffered a high ankle sprain Week 6, paving the way for Murray to overtake full-time duties. Now his chance at redemption has arrived. Don't expect him to (expletive) it up. No defense, not even the Carolina Pansies, has allowed more fantasy points to rushers this season than Tampa. Eight RBs since Week 7 have tallied at least 10 fantasy points against the Argh!-less Bucs. And on the season they've yielded 4.8 yards per carry and a humiliating 172.1 total yards per game to the position. Yes, the relationship between Jones and his original owners is likely more toxic than Alec Baldwin's with American Airlines, but given his favorable matchup and likely 20-touch workload, the hatchet needs to be buried. In other words, Behrens, the answer is "Hell yes!"
Fearless Forecast: 18 carries, 98 rushing yards, 4 receptions, 25 receiving yards, 1 touchdown, 21.3 fantasy points
[Fantasy Football video: Week 15 early pickups]
Ben Tate, Hou, RB (Week 15 Noise RB Rank: 19, 21-percent started)
Matchup: vs. Car
Want to survive and advance? Make a date with Tate. In the Michael Bush-Pierre Thomas-Jonathan Stewart vein of backs, the underappreciated backup deserves an every-down, every-week gig somewhere. However, despite averaging 5.6 yards per carry he will remain one of the game's premier vice-backs behind Arian Foster, especially if his recurring case of fumbilitis sticks around (He's fumbled once every 38.5 touches). Still, even with 11-14 touches, he should be trusted as a RB2 this week in 12-teamers. The Pansies have been consistently atrocious this season defending the run. LeGarrette Blount and Michael Turner are the only rushers who failed to record at least 8.5 points against them in 13 games. Overall, Ron Rivera's club has surrendered 4.9 yards per carry, 162.2 total yard per game and 1.4 touchdowns per game to RBs, equal to the second-most fantasy points allowed. T.J. Yates, coming off an impressive 300-yard performance, will undoubtedly play the Andy Benard role in the follow-up. A conservative game-plan makes sense considering the Texans offensive line completely outclasses Carolina's ineffective front. Houston's average high temperature in mid-December may be 63 degrees, but this is a team built for cold weather. Count on Foster and Tate to plow through the Panthers in Week 15.
Fearless Forecast: 13 carries, 75 rushing yards, 1 receptions, 5 receiving yards, 1 touchdown, 14.7 fantasy points
[Video: Can Texans win in the playoffs?]
Lance Moore, NO, WR (Week 15 Noise WR Rank: 24, 36-percent started)
Matchup: at Min
Only on rare occasions has Sir Lancelot skewered the competition. Much like his revolving door at RB, Sean Payton, excluding Marques Colston, has shuffled his receivers in and out of the lineup. Moore, in particular, has been used sparingly. Since Week 9, he's averaged just 23 snaps per game, making his 7.7 points per week tally during that stretch quite impressive (2.9 snaps/point). But with Jimmy Graham ailing, the slippery receiver could see additional playing time. Graham, who complained of "excruciating" pain from start to finish in last week's game at Tennessee, is dealing with a bad back. An MRI Monday revealed no serious damage, but, it's clear, he's not operating at 100-percent. Moore, arguably the Saints' best underneath weapon outside Graham, stands to benefit. If he sees an uptick in targets, he should thrive against Minnesota's rickety Cover 2. On the season, the Vikes have conceded the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. In total, 13 wideouts have reached "Flame" territory against them. Moore is a gamble in shallow formats, but in deeper PPR leagues, he could definitely be a playoff Saint.
Fearless Forecast: 5 receptions, 59 receiving yards, 1 touchdown, 15.6 fantasy points
James Jones, GB, WR (Week 15 Noise WR Rank: 20, 18-percent started)
Matchup: at KC
For most teams, losing your most talented, productive wide receiver to an MCL sprain would be an irrecoverable blow. However, in the Land of the Offensively Spoiled, when the flag-bearer falls another soldier steps up to raise the colors. With Greg Jennings out, Jones should fill the void quite nicely. The long-bomb specialist has attracted just 2.8 targets on the season, but when pressed into more extensive action he's delivered. Last year in four starts, including the Super Bowl, he scored twice and averaged a laudable 5.3 receptions and 74.5 yards per game. His terrific blend of size and speed is problematic for most defenses, especially with the league's most accurate quarterback slinging passes in his direction. The Chiefs' Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr have performed well this season. The duo's play is the primary reason why KC ranks sixth in fewest points allowed to WRs. However, even the league's stingiest secondaries are weakened by the Packers. And the tandem isn't immune from the occasional explosive pass play. On the year, they've given up a combined 14.6 yards per catch. Green Bay's WR roulette wheel will keep spinning, but the likelihood it lands on No. 89 is as strong as ever.
Fearless Forecast: 4 receptions, 79 receiving yards, 1 touchdown, 16.9 fantasy points
Jake Locker, Ten, QB (Week 15 Noise QB Rank: 12, 1-percent started)
Matchup: at Ind
Just call the rookie the Hurt Locker. Why? He's about to rain pain on the competition. After Matt Hasselbeck exited last week's clash with New Orleans in the second quarter, the youngster, drafted eighth overall back in April, came in and showcased his mammoth potential. Exhibiting a bulldog demeanor, cannon arm and incredible athleticism, he finished with a 282-1, 36-1 line in roughly 2.5 quarters of play. His subsequent 27.7 point output ranked No. 7 among Week 14 passers. Post-game, Damian Williams praised his teammate describing him as a "heck of a ball player" who does "whatever you ask him to do — run, throw, create a play." Locker, like fellow rookie Cam Newton, is a fantasy Dreamsicle. His ability to score by air and land is very appealing. With Hasselbeck nursing a calf injury, all indications suggest the former Husky will make his starting debut against the woeful Colts. Indy, down several starters on defense, particularly in its secondary, is one of the league's most giving opponents. Seven quarterbacks have scored at least 20 fantasy points against it, including the aforementioned Dandy Cam in Week 12. Most would never think of rolling the dice on an unproven quarterback in his first NFL start, but Locker's playmaking zeal and versatility will be extremely difficult for the Colts to contain. Sack up, riverboat gamblers.
Fearless Forecast: 15-30, 227 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 31 rushing yards, 21.5 fantasy points

The Ford Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) have both announced that it will include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into its vehicles. Ford and FCA will join the likes of General Motors Co. and Hyundai Group who were among the early adopters of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Honda Motor Co. and Audi AG, among others.
Ford Escape gets CarPlay and Android Auto
CarPlay and Android Auto will come installed on all 2017 Ford models, sold in North America, with the Ford's Sync 3 infotainment platform. The rollout of CarPlay and Android Auto will begin with the 2017 Ford Escape, which will also have Ford's Sync Connect system, a new LTE-based service. The Escape is due to go on sale in the spring.
Owners of 2016 models equipped with SYNC 3 will have to wait until later in 2016 when they will be able to upgrade to get CarPlay and Android Auto. LTE will also be coming to other models, besides the Escape, later in the year.
Chrysler and Dodge get CarPlay and Android Auto
FCA, the parent company of Chrysler and Dodge, has announced a new fourth generation version of its Uconnect infotainment system. The latest addition of a capacitive touchscreen will allow drivers to use both CarPlay and Android Auto in their vehicles.
While FCA has not stated specifically which models will receive support for CarPlay and Android Auto, the company did note that introduction of the new system would happen in 2016.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
To use Apple CarPlay drivers will need an iPhone 5 or later. Once plugged into the car's USB port, drivers will be able to access music, make calls, get directions, access Siri, send and receive messages, all while their attention remains on the road.
Android Auto is compatible with Android 5.0 or later and provides similar hands-free services to Apple CarPlay, including access to on-demand Google Play Music, Google voice search, and Google Maps, among others. Drivers will also be able to make calls or send and receive messages.
With at least nine major automakers and over 100 auto tech firms at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), there's bound to be more interesting tech and partnerships on display this week.

Product Description
is one of the 12 Jyotirlings of India, a pilgrimage place approximately 3500 feet high up in the hills. The area around Bhimashankar is covered with thick dense jungle. The Maharashtra Government has also declared it a Wildlife Sanctuary.The sanctuary is small (only about 100 sq. km's), but it is home to a wide variety of animals Leopard, Sambar, Barking deer, Porcupines, Grey Junglefowls, Wild pig, Hanuman langur, Rhesus macaque and Flying Squirrel etc. The sanctuary is famous as the home of a highly endangered subspecies of the Indian Giant Squirrel – Shekharu (Ratufa indica elphistoni), which is also the state animal of Maharashtra.
Shiva Temple:
The temple of Bhimashankar is around 1200 – 1400 years old and is built on the Hemad Panthi style. There are very beautiful sculptures and paintings on the roof and pillars of the temple. At the front of the temple hangs a huge metal bell cast in 1729. There is also a 15-20 feet high "Deepmala" or lamppost in the outer corridor of the temple. There is also an inscription on stone on this lamppost. It is to be noted that the original name of the river Chandrabhaga at Pandharpur is Bhima. This Bhima River originates at Bhimashankar.
Gupt Bhimashankar :
There is a water stream route going down from the left of the Ram temple. Taking that route, we enter a thick jungle. We reach a temple around 25 minutes through this route. A route going toward the waterfall, left of this temple, leads to the "water sculpted" "Shiva Linga" under this waterfall. This is called the Gupt Bhimashankar. There is a huge waterfall at this place.

Our train the next day left around 2:00 pm, so after breakfast we had some time to explore Bram and Eif's neighborhood. You must ride a bicycle in Holland, and we all went to a nearby kids park by bicycle. Bram and Eif have several different bicycles adapted for the kids, include one which can ...

Chesterton Once Again
This drawing took me two attempts to get right. The first version, done in pen and ink wash, was horrible. Like eye-curdling horrible. It was SO horrible that I scanned it and then filed it as "the worst thing I've ever drawn." I think it's a little bit like the tiny sliver of Kryptonite that Superman gives to Batman -a fail-safe to be used if Supes ever gets out of control. If I get over confident in my art (or if I become an evil dictator) all I have to do is take a quick look at this awful picture and then I will be too busy weeping to do any more harm.

Ok, and now for your penance, you have to share that picture with all of us!
It's good for your soul!

Hey! Mike Hichborn reads my blog.
No, if I showed the picture now it would be useless as a failsafe. And if I became a dictator you would be really sorry.
Just imagine somehting that is half G.K. Chesterton and half Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man.

After two years of breakneck growth and consolidation funded largely by the government, Brazilian meatpackers are protein providers to the world. Can they also become global brands?
Two years ago the Brazilian meatpacking industry was a
dogs dinner.
There were far too many small competitors fighting for market
share. That led to dumping on the home market: cut price filet
mignon predictably led to a chain reaction.
Retail prices for other beef cuts were culled, followed by
those for pork and then chicken, notes Gustavo Wigman, food
analyst at Goldman Sachs in São Paulo. That was coupled
with a tight market for cattle, which compressed margins in the
sector, he notes.
The industry was ripe for consolidation. Indeed, since the
start of 2009, 10 meatpackers have sought judicial protection
from creditors. They include Independência, at the time
the fourth largest meatpacker in terms of capacity, with 800
million reais of gross sales per year. Bertin, the
number three at the time, was absorbed by JBS, adds Wigman.

21. The Crack in Time [II]
"Phillip-" she whispered again, tears clouding in her eyes.
Aidelle ducked her head to hide the dainty trail of tears that were splashing down her face, falling from her eyes like dew of a dragging winter. She had given the last of her hope to that plan, and it was all in vain.
"What's the point anymore?" she choked, her voice going stone-cold, "If I can't even make a plan to enable us to save him, how am I worthy to have Phillip? How am I even worthy to live? Life is useless without Phillip in any case."
"Aidelle!" Zara scolded with a shout, "Don't you dare say that! Without your life, I would not be living either. And it's you who I came back to see, you who can save my entire generation of Costellos: your grandchildren-
"It doesn't take a genius to realise that you do mean something if we've all gone to this trouble-"
"But I was the one who caused all the trouble!" Aidelle cried, "You only came to me in order to get your life back on track!" She paused to take a long draught of air, but it didn't calm her any further, "I can't even save my future family! When we come to the suitable conclusion about the effects of the clock, it breaks and we lose even more time to save you."
"Which wasn't your fault," Zara muttered, shamefacedly.
"And now, when I make up a plan to rectify everything, I miss the simple point that I am trapped here, forever. The whole idea that I am trying to get away from. Why didn't you warn me?
"Why didn't you warn me that I am an idiot..." she added, spitting the poisonous words out quickly.
Aidelle sunk her head back down into her hands. Zara couldn't hear her say another word, but her lips still opened and closed in frustration.
"Aidelle," Zara whispered, softly, "It really wasn't my place to say that you were wrong. I'm sorry."
In response, Aidelle mumbled something that sounded like "but you have".
"Okay, yes, I have done that," sighed Zara, "But it was because I don't want to endanger your life. You know that if we go outside that front door, we'll die."
Aidelle's head shot back up violently. She stared hard at Zara and sniffed sedately.
"Yes, but that's just your speculation. After all, we are the ones who suggested that ourselves. Nobody knows what's out there, or whether we'll actually...well...
"Anyway, we'll effectively die even if we don't try to escape- or be frozen in here forever, and I'd rather not have that.
"Listen, wouldn't you rather taste death with your fingertips and the skin that spreads across your body and life, than stay in an eternity of madness?"
Zara sprung back, wounded.
"That's hysteria talking!" she exclaimed.
Aidelle grabbed a tissue from a paper box on the work-surface and rubbed at her sore, red eyes, which caused the inflammation of her tears ducts once again, and her neat make-up to be smudged, giving her more of a sad, red-eyed panda look than any other time before.
"It's really not. I daresay that you have faith in me; you do trust me, right Zara?"
"Of course, Grandmother. Please don't ask me to do anything wild though. I..."
"And you say yourself that I am clever enough to think up a decent, if 'mad', plan."
"Now, you know I didn't mean it like that, Aidelle... You're letting comforting words go to your head- along with your hysteria- and drown your mind."
"I'm not hysterical!" Aidelle almost shouted, "Just...emotional. I really don't want to go into this conversation again. What if we can go outside...and the grassland is as it has been portrayed in my time, that is: the 28th of August. Then any plan will be sound."
"But...this is speculation! What if the grassland is not the answer? What if it's stopped like we are?"
"Better to try to be free, than stay here mad, don't you agree?"
"I..." Zara finally gave in. She shrugged. "I suppose I do, yes. I've always been an advocate of freedom for everybody. The oppression of women was a dark time for our society."
Zara felt her face go pale. She was only young, and, yes, she felt scared about what would be ahead, but, as comes with youth, she was curious; and she knew that would be her final downfall: herself.
"What do you suggest we do?" she whispered, fear surrounding every word.

Codekas is a mythical Greek family nestled primarily in Southern California. It has been said that the mysterious comedy writer, Theo C. Spendekas, is a member, yet sources remain unclear. Codekases are known for their literary and alcoholic prowess and crude sense of humor. If you find one, it might just very well be the most memorable meeting of your life. Do not anger a Codekas, it can lead to a verbal destruction the like that would make the Lord of Hosts Himself weep on your behalf.

It's been a while since I've written prose. I decided to try my hand at some. This is written for a class, so let me know what you think. Critique is very welcome, please.
At 3:00 a.m., the laptop screen was too bright and too empty. A blank page still stared at Jordan, mocking the past two hours he'd spent in total lack of inspiration, knowing he was obligated to write something but finding himself somehow unable to actually do it. The dark roast coffee, the kind they'd said came all the way from Guatemala just to satisfy his thirst, had long since cooled down, sitting idly on his desk, sipped down to only the halfway point in the mug. Somewhere outside, the crickets had stopped chirping, knowing how ridiculous it was to be up at this ungodly hour. Once again, Jordan began to plink out a few sentences on the keyboard, slowly turning them into a paragraph or two, but with a frustrated groan, he backspaced them all and drummed his fingers on the desk. The Muse album he'd been playing on iTunes restarted…again. It was from the grungier era in their music, sometime during the late 1990's. Close to when he and Olivia had been born, actually. He smiled.
Let's write a poetry book, she'd said. I know you aren't much for writing, but wouldn't it be fun? A poetry project, just the two of us. Please, Jord? It'd be so fun. He could still replay the imploring tone of Olivia's voice as she delivered her request with a charming smile. Right now, he could kick himself for agreeing to write something, but at the time, he hadn't been able to say no. Especially because it had meant so much to her.
They'd been taking turns for several months now. Olivia's most recent poem had been about Jordan, of all things. Now, it was his turn, and he was no better at it than he'd been at first.
Dear Olivia, it is true.
I have fallen in love with you.
Roses are red, skies are blue.
I can't wait to see your smile soon.
Jordan didn't have the heart to erase it. At least he'd changed the old adage from "violets" to "skies." That had to be some sort of creativity on his part, didn't it?
He clicked "Save" and rubbed his sore eyes. A few moments later, he lay sprawled across in his bed, still in his clothes. In a few minutes, the light of the laptop went out, but it took much longer for Jordan to do the same.

SYDNEY/WELLINGTON: The Australian and New Zealand dollars powered to fresh four-year peaks against the yen on Monday, underpinned by a return to carry trades, while both currencies held firm versus their US counterpart.
The Aussie soared as far as 92.83 yen, its highest since September 2008, showing a gain of 2.4 percent since last week. It has risen nearly 10 percent in the past two months on expectations of much more aggressive monetary easing in Japan.
The kiwi followed suit, rallying to 73.52 yen. The currency has added 1.8 percent since January 1, while it is also up 10 percent since early November.
Broad selling of yen out of Tokyo early in Asian trading helped push the Antipodeans higher. The Antipodean currencies have lately benefited greatly from a yield play as investors borrow cheaply in yen to buy high-beta assets.
So much so, that a pull back could be in the cards.
"The yen looks oversold, and it's starting to feel heavy at these levels given the fundamentals," said Michael Turner, a strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
He said a correction to around 90 yen could easily occur should there be a risk aversion move.
Minor resistance for the Aussie was seen at 93.20 yen before 96.50, and a break above could target the psychological level of 100. It last fetched 92.24.
Against the US currency, the Australian dollar paused at $1.0487, from $1.0479 in New York on Friday. It briefly hit $1.0513 due to heavy buying in the Aussie-yen cross.
The local currency received support from further gains in key commodity prices, with spot iron ore prices now up 77 percent from their September lows at $153.3 a tonne.
The jump is a big boon to profits and incomes as the steel making mineral is Australia's single largest export earner.
The Aussie last changed hands at $1.0480, not far from a three-month peak of $1.0585 hit in December. Immediate resistance was found at $1.0527, last week's peak with traders citing stops above $1.0530.
The New Zealand dollar consolidated near $0.8300 from $0.8313 early, a 38.2 percent retracement level.
Traders said any gains above that level would limited due to offers suspected around $0.8350, also the high on Jan 3.
"Real money and local corporate demand for the kiwi on dips remains strong. This helps explain the rapid bounce-back in the kiwi from its recent lows," said BNZ strategist Mike Jones.
The Aussie and the kiwi recovered from a fall Friday after minutes from the Federal Reserve's policy meeting showed some board members wanted to slow asset purchases earlier than previously thought.
Jones said kiwi fundamentals have not changed, with a slow economic recovery continuing, commodity prices trending higher, and the global economy past the worst.
"As long as these supportive factors remain in play, kiwi dips towards $0.8000 will be short-lived in our view," he said.
The Antipodeans kept large gains on the euro, which suffered a reversal last week. The euro skidded to three-week lows of A$1.2436, well off a three-month peak of A$1.2807 touched in December.
It also lost steam against the kiwi, slipping as far as NZ$1.5691, near Dec 18 lows. It was last at NZ$1.5731.
New Zealand government bonds edged higher in price, nudging yields down around 1 basis point across the curve.
Australian government bonds were dead quiet, hovering near multi-month lows with the three-year contract unchanged at 97.160 and the 10-year contract steady at 96.580.
