BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A 3-year-old child witnessed the killing of three people on Montana's Crow Reservation and named a family member as the shooter, according to an FBI affidavit.
Sheldon Bernard Chase, 22, was captured in Washington state after a manhunt and is due before a federal judge on Thursday to face charges that he killed his grandmother, cousin and cousin's boyfriend at their rural home on Tuesday.
The cousin and boyfriend had two-year-old and three-year-old sons.
Authorities and people who know Chase say he suffers from mental illness. The FBI affidavit said Chase had stopped taking his medications prior to the shootings, although it does not specify when.
Chase had left his mother's house in North Dakota the day before the shooting, taking with him a "Sitting Bull commemorative gun," according to the affidavit.
Shortly before noon Tuesday, Chase's 21-year-old cousin, Levon Driftwood, sent a text saying Chase had arrived on the Crow Reservation, where he had been attending college and living with his grandmother, Gloria Cummins.
A fight ensued between Chase and Driftwood's boyfriend, Rueben Jefferson. Chase shot Jefferson, Cummins and Driftwood and was seen driving away from Cummins' house at 12:10 p.m., according to the affidavit.
"During an interview of one child, age 3 years, he disclosed Chase and RCJ (Jefferson) were fighting and Chase shot RCJ. The child further stated Chase also shot GSC (Cummins) and LFD (Driftwood)," the affidavit stated.
Chase's capture Wednesday night in Spokane followed a manhunt that stretched from the rugged Crow countryside across much of the northern U.S. Schools on reservations in southeastern Montana and western North Dakota were closed and residents stayed indoors for safety during the search.
Eric Barnhart, FBI supervisor in Billings, said investigators were still trying to piece together what led to the shooting.
"At this point, we still don't know," he said following Chase's capture. "With some history of mental illness, that's an X factor."
Geranios reported from Spokane, Wash.

The enemy is trying their best to convince people that somehow, the fight against the jews is detrimental for them, and that somehow the jews are running.
We have scored very important victories that should motivate all of us. We are opening the gates everyday for something greater to come. However, our work has only just began.
Until every country and every household is free from jewish poison, until the jews are left powerless to go for a Samson Solution, until generations are recovered and ordered is restored, this war is far from "over". Europe is still being sunk full systems go.
What will manifest in the future is a clump between our influence, the enemy influence- intermediate structures. We have scored a hallmark and a checkpoint when christianity is dead and we have the real orders up in power.
Ones who nobody will doubt as to their content and will not be half jewish and dubious, preying on the make believe and need to see a miracle. This is what will show that jewish influence has been sinking. They will make it actively sink, without any "tolerance".
The Leaders of such will not have jewish daughters, boyfriends, or devout xian kike wives. They will be far clearer. They will not be jewcy celebrities. They will be commoners. Not system skanks.
We also have our people in the enemy system. Which will facilitate the destruction of such system. They are in it because they know it. And they morally disagree with it. And because it has limited them and if it knew about them, it would show its true colors.
Many people forget that this war has lasted thousands of years. Do not be like the blind, too very easily impressed, but neither blind, impressed by nothing. Maintain a realistic approach.
Do not depend your morale on the show. Depend your morale in damaging the enemy spiritually and intellectually every day. This is what will grow your confidence and morale. And this is what makes the elite SS in contrast to the simpletons out there who take everything as its shown.
Much of what the enemy is doing is just guiding the energies that would otherwise destroy them, in things that do not outright destroy them. For example, they are using the two steps back method such as with Trump, while trying to recover. Their trip destination is and will always be the same. It has been so for thousands of years. Setbacks for the enemy are not ultimate victory. They are just victory.
Pay also attention on how the jews themselves always pretend to be defeated in many cases, and they are doing reverse psychology to get us to relax. They may also stab themselves to prove thet are harmed, but NOT on a fatal or decisive spot. They are the masters of "being presecuted".
We know more than anyone the enemy and for that reason we are in league and working closely with the Arch Enemy of the jews on the highest level.
For that reason respect this, fight hard, and let us be proud. But above all, honor this by keeping on the fight. We will fight so long it takes.
Until the Real and Final Victory,

Any ideas?
My geum was planted last year and has done great, even bloomed and looked incredible this spring. Now, it's got leaves browning all up and down the foilage! The leaves get brown and crispy dead.
Is it a fungus? A pest? Other disease?
What can I do to help get rid of it? I don't like to spray unless absolutely necessary. It's planted on the north side of my house but gets full sun most of the day. It's in a slightly raised bed. It gets watered regularly every few days.
Geum Avens Fireball browning leaves what is this?
Any ideas?
Has it gotten watered then sun hit it? That happens a lot in our area during the hot summers.
Yeah, it might be that. At least I hope that's all it is.
My geum is doing the same thing. I have 7 geum plants that are all doing this. They're watered often and they wilt in the sun. They were getting so brown, (and continue to) I cut many leaves off that were turning completely brown. I was thinking of moving it to a shadier spot, but I see geum wants full sun or only partial shade. Any advice on that? I love this plant and the color of the flowers in the spring. For me they bloom at the same time as the siberian iris, baptisia and honeysuckle near them in the garden and it's gorgeous.
Bumping this up in case anyone has advice on geum leaves turning brown. A year after the post above, I removed my geum plants today. They're at the front of a prominent partial sun border and they look horrible. They never bloomed this spring. I don't think it's due to water and then sun hitting them. I'll try another spot in our gardens and report back.
I'm in NC not sure if that matters but I have spent a lot of $$ on geum and I am thrilled first year -- then eventually what happens to yours happens to mine no matter what the conditions hot or cold watered or not. Can't grow geum or lavender or poppies! Now who can't grow poppies??? Sometimes it just ain't meant to be. I love geum too.
I removed my geum plants today. They're at the front of a prominent partial sun border and they look horrible. They never bloomed this spring.
For the past two seasons I have had 'Cooky', 'Eos' and 'Totally Tangerine' in my garden and it has only been TT that has done the flowering. It was a bloom machine this past spring (May) but almost nothing from the other two.

Things got crazy out in LA this past weekend during the X Games! Tanner Foust and Greg Tracy set a world record by bringing Hot Wheels to life. I'm sure we all remember the bright orange tracks of our childhood, and they were recreated in real size so that these two could perform the trick on this 66 foot tall loop.
The original record was set by Chinese driver Li Yatao in September 2011, which was on a 42 foot loop. This new one knocks the original record out of the park, and was just crazy to watch. I was squealing in front of my TV watching these two do this. I'm just glad everyone's ok! You can't tell me you won't watch this over and over in awe.

Civil Twilight – "Fire Escape": The South African trio gets things rolling with a foreboding bass line, perhaps unexpected for those only familiar with their megabit "Letters From the Sky." The song has almost a U2-feel to it but it stops short of being a blatant copycat.
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster – "Open Your Eyes": Maylene drops the "core" out of southern-core in this single, now made famous by a music video featuring actor Daniel Trejo as a sadistic predator. It's a fun song, but quite as much as their some of their earlier singles.
12 Stones – "Worlds Collide": Paul McCoy and company return with the latest single off their forthcoming record Only Human. McCoy commendably stretches his voice more than usual, yet with all the epic sounds it still feels too familiar.
Jack White – "Love Interruption": Though short songs aren't unusual for Jack White, given his vast network of musical endeavors one might be surprised by the mellow (by his standards) acoustic flavor here. Female harmonies balance out his trademark voice without drowning it out. It will be interesting to see where White takes the rest of this project.

Well, all the predictions that Scout would come on a full moon have turned out to be wrong. Scout resisted the pull of gravity and is still snug in the womb at 39 weeks and 6 days of gestation.
I've been having some signs that my body is "preparing" for labor, but haven't gone into labor yet. I have the Contraction Master up and running for when the real contractions begin. Who knows when that will be--it could be tomorrow, next week, or two weeks from now.
I really don't want to medically induce the little Scout unless it's medically necessary. To me, not knowing the birthday is every bit as exciting as not knowing the sex. I want little Scout to be born when he/she is ready--not when I lose patience.
Still, it's hard to wait. I'm ready to meet this little one. I've been drinking lots of raspberry leaf tea and taking evening primrose oil--both of which are supposed to help with labor. I'm also walking when I can, though a few days of bad weather have prevented that. Most of my maternity leave (so far) has been spent resting and relaxing, reading, playing piano, writing thank-you notes for baby gifts, and working on Scout's baby book.
No "nesting" instinct for me (yet), though. I don't know if that's going to happen. If it is, it had better start soon!
One thing I have noticed: I've definitely felt more anti-social than usual. I've been staying cooped up in the house and haven't had any desire to leave. I've been needing to go to Wal-Mart for three days now, but I just don't want to leave the house. Part of me is treasuring, and grieving, my "me" time--treasuring what little of it I have left, and grieving that life as I know it is about to change forever. It's a lot to deal with. As excited as I am about Scout, I'm a little wary of the unknown that lies ahead of us.
OK, enough of that. Scout's official due date is tomorrow.

I love how honest you are about the process, or journey, that you're going through. I relate to the "me" time thing... I suppose most deeply introverted people might.
Just curious, are the "get your sleep while you can" bits of advice getting on your nerves yet? I'm not offering that, I'm just curious. :)

GIRL power was alive and running as the female population joined forces to raise money to combat cancer.
United in their mission to generate funds for Cancer Research UK, women of all ages came together at Down Grange Sports Complex last Wednesday to support this year's Race for Life.
Dressed in all shades of pink, their message was loud and clear – 'cancer – we're coming to get you!' There were tears, smiles and an enormous sense of achievement felt by those taking part in the Cancer Research UK and Tesco-backed event, in which entrants could run either a 5km or 10km course around the playing fields, off Pack Lane.
Names of loved ones fighting cancer, or those who had lost their battle with the disease, were displayed on the T-shirts of the thousands of women who took part.
Around 2,500 mums, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, nieces and friends walked, jogged or ran in the two events on the night.
A total of 2,200 participants raced in the 5km event, while 300 women took on the challenge of the tougher 10km course.
Before the race began, a warm up was held by Basingstoke personal trainer, Farah Fonseca, and a minute's silence was held to remember loved ones who had lost their cancer battle.
Lea Blake, event manager, was delighted with this year's race despite a mix-up with the track which saw a group of five people accidentally miss out a small section of the course.
She told The Gazette: "The event has been amazing considering what happened with the track mix-up. It has been an absolutely stunning day.
"Basingstoke is always a nice event and you get families and friends come out to cheer loved ones on. I am really pleased that we will be raising around £184,000, which is incredible, and it goes a long way to funding our research."
There's a six-page picture special on the Race For Life in today's Gazette - on sale now!

US, poor nations face off at Earth Summit talks
Date: 07-Jun-02
Country: INDONESIA
Author: Dean Yates
As ministers from 150 nations held a second day of meetings on Indonesia's Bali island, environmental groups stepped up criticism of the talks, accusing the United States, Canada and Australia of watering down pledges in a draft action plan.
Greenpeace brought ashore a large, scaly caricature bearing the heads of the presidents from the three countries on a nearby beach, accusing them of blocking efforts to clean up the planet.
The World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg - dubbed Earth Summit 2 - is being billed as the largest U.N. conference ever, although there have been concerns the event might be trying to do too much with an action plan that covers everything from poverty, health, energy and the environment.
At the conference centre at a luxury resort, delegates said stumbling blocks between the United States and the G-77 group of developing nations focused on financing pledges being drawn up in the action plan for the Johannesburg summit.
"The G-77 wants the additional aid pledged at Monterrey to be clearly linked to Johannesburg. But they are asking for detailed conditionality," said one G-77 delegate on the sidelines of the talks, which conclude on Friday.
At a U.N. summit on financing development in Mexico's Monterrey last March, world leaders agreed rich nations would give more aid while poor countries were obliged to use it wisely.
The U.S. itself pledged an additional $10 billion in aid over a three-year period at Monterrey in return for poor nations tackling corruption and improving government efficiency.
The G-77 delegate said Washington wanted references in the plan such as nations would fight graft and boost the rule of law, adding some felt this was an infringement of their sovereignty.
Johannesburg opens on August 26 and has been timed to fall a decade after the landmark Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, which put environmental issues on the global political agenda.
The ministerial meeting has been preceded by 10 days of debate between government negotiators on the action plan, which was supposed to be ready last week.
Asked if there had been a row over the issue of funding from Monterrey, a member of the U.S. delegation said:
"I wouldn't categorise it as a row. I think we are all working very hard and trying to come to a better understanding of where we are on this issue...We want to see success here."
"In Monterrey...a contract for development was underscored. What does that mean? That developed countries would provide assistance but at the same time developing countries must also have a stake in this."
Besides getting involved in the action plan, ministers in Bali are in the process of drawing up an agenda for Johannesburg and the outlines of a declaration that leaders will make to underscore political commitments to the process.
Negotiators have agreed the bulk of the draft plan, but delegates said talks could either go down to the wire on Friday or that parts would be carried over to Johannesburg.
Some targets for the action plan were agreed at the U.N. Millennium Summit, which called for halving by 2015 the number of people living on less than $1 a day.
Meanwhile, Greenpeace tried to negotiate with police and civilian guards from Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri's political party to bring the three-metre (10-foot) high caricature to the conference centre, about two km away.
At one stage, the civilian guards became agitated, saying the caricature insulted Balinese culture. A Greenpeace official later said a compromise was reached to destory the figure at the beach.

I was 18 when I volunteered and trained in Devon.
I was in the Support Craft Regiment of the Royal Marines and was among the first to land. The idea was to support the troops, the Canadian 3rd Division.
We had a driver in our tank and I was the gunner, taking orders from someone in a forward position.
Our landing craft got near enough to the beach and the water was about three feet high when we got out.
We went along the beach but had to go back to the surf a little bit because it was so crowded.
I saw one sapper blown up while clearing the mines.
The main threat was mortar fire doing a lot of damage. We were protected a bit because we were in tanks, but many troops were killed.
We managed to clear things pretty quickly and we went to Langrune-Sur-Mer.
Just outside Langrune, our officer ordered us to dig a trench and after about a quarter of an hour, we saw a white flag come up and a party of Germans surrendered.
We could have made sitting targets because we didn't know they were there and they'd been watching us. But I think they knew we would have fired back.
After a week at Langrune, Monty wanted us to help the 6th Airborne near Caen and we spent about a fortnight there.
After the surrender I became a dispatch rider with a naval party in Flensburg in Germany.
I began training to be a vicar in 1946, then went to Bristol University for three years, then two years at theological college, and was ordained in 1952.
My first church was in Braintree, Essex, then later I spent 22 years in Congleton, Cheshire.
Nobody likes killing people but I felt it was a just cause to defend.
I'm not a pacifist. I favour jaw-jaw not war-war, but that's not possible with someone like Hitler.
Some people who served in the war were very well known in the church when they returned, such as the Bishop of Norwich.
The war was a national effort. Perhaps we were more for the war then, to get rid of Hitler, than the war now.

House Republicans are pushing for a "Romney economic plan," White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer charged Sunday.
"What the president will not do is come in right after getting reelected and enact a Romney economic plan, which is what the Republicans in the House are proposing," Pfeiffer said on ABC News's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos."
Pfeiffer's remark came as he was defending President Obama's budget blueprint, which is set to be released Wednesday. The plan cuts Medicare and Social Security spending and adds new tax revenue in an effort to reduce the deficit. The White House has been facing criticism from the both the political right and left over the proposal, with the former rejecting the call for new taxes and the latter expressing concerns about slashing entitlement spending.
"This is compromise and compromise means there are going to be some folks on both sides who are not happy," Pfeiffer said.
The House GOP plan that Pfeiffer linked to 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney would eliminate the deficit by 2023. It would partially privatize Medicare for Americans under 55. Senate Democrats also have released a budget blueprint and Pfeiffer said the White House remains hopeful lawmakers can reach a compromise on their own.
As to the odds of an agreement, Pfeiffer said there is "good chance" of a deal this year, "if both sides want to compromise."

The Marist Brothers allowed child molester Brother Raymond Foster to continue teaching at the prestigious boys' boarding school St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill on the strength of an assurance that he wouldn't do it again.
Brother Alexis Turton, whose job in 1994 was to deal with such complaints, said Foster was not withdrawn from teaching boys as young as 12 despite being the subject of three complaints in as many years because "I assume I would have got an assurance from him that what was referred to 40 years ago was not an issue now".
There'd been an anonymous complaint in 1991, a telephone call in 1993 and, in May 1994, a further letter identifying Brother Foster as molesting boys at St Augustine's College in Cairns as far back as 1954. But he was not removed from teaching duties at St Joseph's until August 1994.
Wasn't that astonishing, Brother Turton was asked by Angus Stewart, counsel assisting the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. He agreed that "looking back now", his response to the allegations was "absolutely" unacceptable. He said the Marist Brothers had naively seen child sexual abuse as "pretty much a moral problem that was essentially a matter of following up with someone…that [they] recognise it is wrong and it won't happen again".
He admitted the Marist Brothers in Australia had a "significant problem'' over the sexual abuse of children in their care.
The Catholic order's Sydney province, which has 234 members, received 128 complaints about child sexual abuse in the decade to 2012, according to evidence before the commission.
The order has been the subject of more sexual abuse complaints than any in Australia except the Christian Brothers, the commission has been told.
''When you look at the number of brothers, and the number of complaints, and make assumptions that the complaints don't reflect the [actual] number of incidents of abuse, there is a very significant problem, isn't there,'' commission chairman Justice Peter McClellan asked Brother Turton.
''Yes, there is, yes'', replied Brother Turton. ''We had a significant problem. We have a significant problem, yes."
The Commission is examining the case of a man known as DG, who was abused by Foster at another Marist Brothers college in northern Queensland from when he was 13 in 1970.
The first time was in his family home. Later Brother Foster wrestled him on to the bed in his residence in the school grounds after he'd been sent to help him carry some books. It happened in the science lab when he'd had to stay behind after school to help Brother Foster clean it. It happened in the store room of the tuck shop. It happened again and again for three years.
DG testified that when he went to the police in 1994, he wanted the abuser stopped from hurting more children, and wanted assurances that steps to prevent that were being taken.
No one told DG that Brother Foster was removed from teaching duties. He learned it only in the course of the Commission, in the same way he's only just heard that Brother Foster confessed and sought his forgiveness for the abuse in a 1999 suicide note.
Brother Michael Hill, who received Foster's suicide note but failed to mention it when he met with DG the following year, admitted that when he wrote to fellow Marist Brothers in 1999 saying he shared their "devastation", "anger" "deep sadness" and "puzzlement", he was referring to the suicide. He was not referring to DG's sexual abuse to which Foster had confessed, and Brother Hill wrote "not one word" about the victim in his letter.
A qualified psychologist and Marist Brother since the age of 18 and now at Marist College North Shore in North Sydney, Brother Hill agreed with the Commission chair Justice Peter McClellan this was a "serious omission".
The hearing continues.

Willmar, Minn., School Board approves $47 million budget for coming school year
WILLMAR -- The Willmar School Board approved a budget for the 2013-14 school year with projected general fund spending of $47.4 million.
The budget covers fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1.
Business and Finance Director Pam Harrington spent much of her presentation at Monday's board meeting explaining changes in school finance made by the 2013 Legislature.
Some changes will go into effect with fiscal 2014, and many more will go into effect next year.
The budget includes $45,667,460 in general fund revenue and $47,379,232 in general fund expenditures. Day-to-day operating expenses of the district are paid by the general fund.
Schools will see a 1.5 percent increase in their basic state aid this year and another 1.5 percent in the year after.
In fiscal 2015, schools will receive additional aid to pay for all day, every day kindergarten classes. "All day, every day kindergarten is the biggest deal of fiscal year 15," she said.
Also in 2015 and beyond, districts will see changes in how they are compensated for special education services. Integration aid, which was in danger of being eliminated, will continue with some changes.
Enrollment is projected to increase to 4,200 students in the coming year, 100 kids more than this year. The enrollment increase adds nearly $500,000 in state aid for the district.
The district's enrollment has grown from new students registering for school and because incoming kindergarten classes are larger than recent graduating classes, she said.
In all, Willmar will receive an additional $1,277,656 in state aid because of new legislation and added students. Revenue is expected to increase about $1.4 million over last year.
In addition to more state aid, the district recently received several federal grants, Harrington said. A $600,000 School Improvement Grant for Kennedy Elementary and grants to provide daily snacks of fresh fruits and vegetables will go to Kennedy and Roosevelt Elementary.
Expenses are expected to increase about $2.5 million as the district implements school turnaround plans to close achievement gaps in the elementary schools.
Harrington said the budget includes some intentional spending of the unreserved general fund balance, which is about 14 percent of annual expenses.
State law requires school districts to approve a new budget before the fiscal year starts, but not all funding is known yet. Most school districts review their budget at mid-year to update information about income and expenses.
The Legislature decided to allow school boards to adopt a $300 operating levy without seeking board approval. If they have a voter-approved levy, they can convert $300 to a board-approved levy.
"It gives them a stable funding source," she said, but not all the details are available yet. "We are still waiting for the numbers."
The board also approved budgets for the food service, community education and debt service accounts, which are held separately from the general fund.
With all the funds combined, the district projects total revenue of $53,512,302.71 in the coming year and total expenditures of $55,456,709.28.
In other business, the board approved capital projects for the summer, including work in the kitchen in Kennedy Elementary and roofs at the Senior High, Garfield and WEAC. A planned remodeling of Middle School science rooms was delayed because bids were over budget.

The Difference Between Political Hamas and Terrorist Hamas
Palestinian supporters of Hamas hold models

celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Hamas
militant group

There are two kinds of nations in the world: those like the US, Canada, Europe, Japan and other civilized countries which believe Hamas is a terrorist organization and those like Iran, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other uncivilized countries which do not.
For example, last year in an interview with PBS, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Hamas is not a not a terrorist organization, it is a political party (1).
We even have useful idiots in our own country who refuse to call Hamas a terror group; potential defense secretary Chuck Hagel has refused likewise to designate them appropriately (2).
I have included the following video which explains the problem: there are two organizations of the same name - one is a political party and the other is indeed a terrorist organization.
YouTube, The One About Hamas
I hope that clears up the confusion.
JPost - Middle East, 13 May 2011, Erdogan: 'Hamas is not a terrorist organization'
"Let me give you a very clear message. I don't see Hamas as a terror organization. Hamas is a political party. And it is an organization. It is a resistance movement trying to protect its country under occupation. So we should not mix terrorist organizations with such an organization," Erdogan said.
CNN, 13 Jan 2013, Hagel's wrong on why U.S. supports Israel
Contrary to America's longstanding bipartisan position, Hagel has called for direct talks with terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. In 2007, Hagel voted against labeling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the group responsible for the death of many American servicemen in Iraq, a terrorist organization.

Four soldiers, including three Army Rangers, stationed at Dahlonega's Camp Frank D. Merrill face federal charges of conspiring to rob drug dealers at gunpoint.
The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia announced the arrest Friday of Army Ranger Randy Spivy, 32, at the Dahlonega training facility. Three other suspects, identified as Carlos Lopez, 30, David Ray White, 28, and Stefan Andre Champagne, 28, were arrested Thursday in Sandy Springs by agents of the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Champagne is an Army medic while the other three suspects are Army Rangers, officials said.
According to a statement released by U.S. Attorney David Nahmias, the four men conspired to use guns to steal five kilograms — more than 10 pounds — of cocaine. The robbery was meant to take place at a storage facility off Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
The four men learned that the man with whom they had been conspiring was an undercover ATF agent, according to the ATF.
"It is a sad day when members of one of America's most elite corps of soldiers, the Army Rangers, are alleged to have become involved in criminal activity," Nahmias said in a statement. "These men were trained to defend the people and principals of this country, not to use their skills to steal cocaine from drug dealers at gunpoint."
Three of the defendants made their initial appearance before a federal magistrate judge Friday afternoon. All four were to remain in custody pending a Wednesday bond hearing.
The drug conspiracy charges carry a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years.

The actor said with a cheeky grin that the mother of his six children still has that dark side of her, but 'delightfully so'.
Brad Pitt agrees that his partner Angelina Jolie doesn't lose herself although she is a mother of six now. The "Moneyball" actor told CBS "This Morning" on Monday, February 6 that Jolie still retains her dark side. "She's still a bad girl. Delightfully so. It's not for public consumption," he said with a grin.
Jolie herself told "60 Minutes" last year that she went through a dark period in her life. "I went through heavy, darker times and I survived them. I didn't die young, so I'm very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn't survive certain things." She admitted to experimenting with drugs and self-mutilation while young. She added, "I'm still a bad girl. I still have that side of me. It's just in its place now. It belongs to Brad ...or our adventures."
Pitt agreed that family kept them together these days. Asked about his career, Pitt said his work "gotten better because I worry less about it. I mean, it's not as important as family."

Bet Your Bottom Dollar That the 'Annie' Trailer Is Adorable
It was just a year ago that we were all charmed by Quvenzhané Wallis, Oscar nominated for her role in Beats of the Southern Wild, what with her puppy purses and her dance offs. Now prepare to fall in love with her all over again as orphan Annie.
This is the first trailer for the Annie remake, which, in addition to Wallis, stars Jamie Foxx as a version of Daddy Warbucks and Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan.
The remake, as you can see, is set in the present with its Facebook jokes and helicopter rides over Manhattan. It comes out just in time for Christmas, Dec. 19.

McCutcheon, George Barr: A Fool and His Money. V1. 3 Apr 2009
George Barr McCutcheon (July 26, 18661928) was an American popular novelist and playwright. His best known works include the series of novels set in Graustark, a fictional East European country, Brewster's Millions, a play and several films.
Born in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, McCutcheon's father, despite not receiving formal education, stressed the value of literature and encouraged his sons to write. During McCutcheon's childhood, his father had a number of jobs that required travel around the county in Indiana. McCutcheon studied at Purdue University and was a roommate of future humorist George Ade. During his college years, he was editor of the Lafayette Daily Courier and wrote a serial novel of satire about Wabash River life.
Although McCutcheon became famous for the Graustark series (the first novel was published in 1901), he hated the characterization of being a Romantic and preferred to be identified with his playwriting.
He was the older brother of noted cartoonist John T. McCutcheon.
I am quite sure it was my Uncle Rilas who said that I was a fool. If memory serves me well he relieved himself of that conviction in the presence of my mother*whose brother he was*at a time when I was least competent to acknowledge his wisdom and most arrogant in asserting my own. I was a freshman in college: a fact*or condition, perhaps,*which should serve as an excuse for both of us. I possessed another uncle, incidentally, and while I am now convinced that he must have felt as Uncle Rilas did about it, he was one of those who suffer in silence. The nearest he ever got to openly resenting me as a freshman was when he admitted, as if it were a crime, that he too had been in college and knew less when he came out than when he entered. Which was a mild way of putting it, I am sure, considering the fact that he remained there for twenty-three years as a distinguished member of the faculty.

Troika's Restless Bats
A fun and original (hopefully inspiring) use of diverse materials and packaging. These playful designs by the talented Troika studio are perfect for gifting! Troika was invited by the Barbican Gallery to create an event to celebrate Ron Arad's retrospective 'Ron Arad: Restless' at the Barbican Art Gallery. Building on Arad's long standing association with table tennis, Troika created a ping pong tournament with a twist, for which they designed 5 sets of custom bats, more or less playable and inspired by Ron's classic designs. Amazing pieces forcing you to shift perspectives on the game! See lots of pics of all the fun details on the next page!

ALERT: You are not entitled to a BJ.
So you can both give as good as you get.
Penises and mouths are not usually the same size, FYI.
Everything you've ever wanted to know about blow jobs.
Here's how to get an O from a BJ.
No. 9 is the rudest thing.
An unsexy thing that happens during a very sexy event.
No. 7 is crucial
"My immediate reaction in my mind is always 'OH, DAMNNNN, HERE WE GOO!'"
It was surprisingly difficult.
Where do we go from here?
As taught to non-porn star women.
Give a blow job can be one of the most empowering things a girl can do. You're taking charge of his pleasure.
For a full-bodied blow job with floral notes and a playful finish.
I can't help but think he may be getting bored of the same thing all the time.
Just sayin', there are some drawbacks.
Seriously, no one is having fun this way.
It was surprisingly challenging.

Dunne: legal highs bill to be even faster-tracked
Hon Peter Dunne
Associate Minister of Health
23 May 2013
Dunne: legal highs bill to be even faster-tracked
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne wants to push the Psychoactive Substances Bill through Parliament faster than planned when it returns from the select committee in mid-June, with the aim of having the legislation in place in July.
"As I have said, we need to get this law right. It is about the health of young New Zealanders using legal highs, and it is world-leading legislation. No one else has done anything like it," Mr Dunne said.
"What we are looking to do is make the legal highs industry prove their products are safe and make sure they bear the cost of the testing process, not the taxpayer.
"The bill is currently before the Health Select Committee in an already truncated process. Usually that lasts up to six months, but it will have been well under two months when it is reported back to Parliament on 14 June.
"Given the importance of this legislation, I have had talks with the Prime Minister, John Key, and the Leader of the House, Gerry Brownlee, about even further fast-tracking the legislative process.
"The bill will now get its second reading on Thursday 27 June, and then move through the final stages into law in July.
"In the meantime, I will be taking it up with Parliament's Business Committee and other political parties to see if the process can be even further accelerated," Mr Dunne said.
"It is complicated legislation and we need to get it right and leave no loopholes for this industry, but we were already pushing this legislation quickly and it is now getting quicker.
"We are fully aware of the concerns of New Zealanders around these products and this industry," he said.
The legislation needs to be in place by August 13 to take over from the Temporary Class Drug Notice regime, which currently bans 35 legal high substances, the first of which will expire on that day.

A Cambridge man was listed in serious condition at Southeastern Med Saturday, after he was struck by a runaway trailer carrying a hot tub Friday morning in the 500 Block of North Eighth Street.
According to reports from the Cambridge Police Department, at approximately 10:30 a.m., William E. Smith, 60, of 510 1/2 N. Eighth S. was walking his dog outside his residence when a trailer carrying a hot tub broke loose from a northbound pickup truck.
Reports stated Robert D. Stillion, Buffalo, was cited for operating a vehicle with an unsecure load.
The trailer reportedly broke loose from the hitch, broke the safety chain, passed the truck pulling the trailer, and struck a car before it ran over Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smiths dog, a Jack Russell Terrier, was also injured in the accident, but ran from the scene. The dog was recovered and treated at the Animal Clinic of Cambridge by Dr. Tim Hayes.

Violent protests have left several people injured, while suspected arsonists have left a shortage of timber bins for the fruit harvesting season in the Grabouw region.
A producer of wooden fruit bins, Chep, a subsidiary of a Sydney-listed Australian company, said it would probably run short of fruit bins in the Grabouw area, where about 3 000 wooden bins were torched.
Spokesman Derick Koekemoer said the towering pile of wooden bins, which were about to be issued to farms for the harvest, had been set alight by a petrol bomb at about 9.30pm on Thursday at the company's plant near the Grabouw suburb of Pineview, which has been the epicentre of the rioting in the Overberg town.
In the worst of the violence on Monday, protesters in Villiersdorp occupied the main road in the town until 11am, when police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse them.
An army helicopter dropped members of the Tactical Response Team to bolster the police numbers.
Warrant Officer November Filander reported that an officer was injured when stones were thrown at a police station.
He was taken to hospital.
The police arrested 16 people on public violence charges in De Doorns, nine in Wolseley, 12 in Villiersdorp and two in Ladismith.
Workers set tyres alight at the police station in Villiersdorp, but no damage was caused.
"We had to fire rubber bullets to disperse the crowd, and arrested 12 people for public violence (in Villiersdorp)," said Filander.
In Wolseley, protesters threw stones at police and burned tyres.
The R43 in Worcester was closed because burning tyres were strewn across the road.
The Labour Department has extended its public hearings on farmworkers' minimum wages as it prepares for a review.
Hearings are to be held across the Western Cape.
Acting department spokesman, Mokgadi Pela, said the first hearing would take place in Grabouw. A second hearing would be held in Paarl on Tuesday night.
Hearings have also been set down for De Doorns, Robertson, Oudtshoorn and Vredendal for the remainder of the week, but venues have yet to be confirmed.
The Labour Department held four weeks of public hearings across the country in November and last month following an extended strike by seasonal farmworkers in the Western Cape.
Farmworkers say they want the daily minimum wage to be increased from R69 to R150.
The Employment Conditions Commission is to review the sectoral determination for agriculture, which stipulates minimum wages, number of leave days, working hours and termination rules, among other aspects.
The sectoral minimum wage determination was put in place in March and remains in force for 12 months.
Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant is expected to make an announcement on the new wage determination next month.
The determination for the agricultural sector would come into effect on March 1.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – The disarray surrounding lethal injection in the U.S. is beginning to steer states back toward methods of execution that many people long ago deemed less humane than the needle.
Tennessee jumped out front this past week with a law that could essentially bring back the electric chair. Elsewhere around the country, lawmakers have been talking about reviving the firing squad and the gas chamber, methods largely abandoned a generation ago.
The reason is that lethal injection — the primary means of execution in all 32 states with capital punishment — is under fire as never before because of botched executions, drug shortages caused by a European-led boycott and lawsuits over the other chemicals that states are using instead.
The U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, but around the country the number of executions has declined steadily since peaking in 1999. The number of states with the death penalty has also been declining, with six dropping it in the past eight years.
The Tennessee legislation signed into law by Republican Gov. Bill Haslam on Thursday would allow the state to use electrocution against any current or future death-row inmate if lethal injection drugs become unavailable.
Tennessee never actually abandoned the electric chair; killers who committed their crimes before the state adopted lethal injection in 1999 have been given the choice of electrocution or the needle.
But the new law could take that choice away from the inmates and make everyone on death row subject to the electric chair.
Deborah Denno, a professor at Fordham Law School who has studied executions for more than two decades, called Tennessee's law unprecedented. "No state has gone backward, to go back in time to a prior method of execution," she said. "For over a century, they have all moved forward."
Some attorneys warned that changing the method of execution on inmates who were originally subject to lethal injection would be unconstitutional.
Other experts noted that the legal and political attacks on lethal injection as cruel and unusual have had the unintended effect of driving states toward methods that are considered even worse.
Wyoming lawmakers are talking about changing the law to allow the firing squad. Their counterparts in Utah have proposed repealing a law that ended firing squads for prisoners convicted after 2004. Missouri law allows for the gas chamber, and politicians from both parties last year suggested rebuilding one.
During the electric-chair debate in Tennessee, one lawmaker, Republican Rep. Dennis Powers, the bill's House sponsor, shrugged off legal and ethical concerns about the measure. "It's not our job to judge. That's God's job to judge," Powers said. "Our job is to arrange the meeting."
Douglas Berman, a law professor at Ohio State University, said the new Tennessee law could be part of an effort to force death-row inmates challenging lethal injection to back off.
The Supreme Court has never declared a method of execution unconstitutionally cruel and unusual. It upheld the firing squad in 1879, the electric chair in 1890 and lethal injection in 2008.
First used on New York state in 1890, the electric chair was employed throughout the 20th century to execute hundreds and is still an option in eight states.
The chair was considered humane when it was first introduced but has resulted in a number of horrific executions over the years.

Up high black walls, up sombre terraces,
Clinging like luminous birds to the sides of cliffs,
The yellow lights went climbing towards the sky.
From high black walls, gleaming vaguely with rain,
Each yellow light looked down like a golden eye.
They trembled from coign to coign, and tower to tower,
Along high terraces quicker than dream they flew.
And some of them steadily glowed, and some soon vanished,
And some strange shadows threw.
And behind them all the ghosts of thoughts went moving,
Restlessly moving in each lamplit room,
From chair to mirror, from mirror to fire;
From some, the light was scarcely more than a gloom:
From some, a dazzling desire.
And there was one, beneath black eaves, who thought,
Combing with lifted arms her golden hair,
Of the lover who hurried towards her through the night;
And there was one who dreamed of a sudden death
As she blew out her light.
And there was one who turned from clamoring streets,
And walked in lamplit gardens among black trees,
And looked at the windy sky,
And thought with terror how stones and roots would freeze
And birds in the dead boughs cry . . .
And she hurried back, as snow fell, mixed with rain,
To mingle among the crowds again,
To jostle beneath blue lamps along the street;
And lost herself in the warm bright coiling dream,
With a sound of murmuring voices and shuffling feet.
And one, from his high bright window looking down
On luminous chasms that cleft the basalt town,
Hearing a sea-like murmur rise,
Desired to leave his dream, descend from the tower,
And drown in waves of shouts and laughter and cries.

A special excerpt of Chapter 1 from Janet Mullany's Hidden Pleasure (out September 18, 2012) is now available on Heroes and Heartbreakers for members. To read the full excerpt, please log in or register on the right.
CALL IT SENSE AND Sensuality…
Louisa Connelly, a recently widowed Jane Austen scholar, needs some relief from her stifling world. When a friend calls to offer her a temporary escape from her Montana ranch, she is whisked into a dizzying world of sumptuous food, flowing wine…and endless temptation.
She's an honored guest at Paradise Hall, an English resort boasting the full experience of an authentic Georgian country-house weekend. Liveried servants tend to the every need of houseguests clad in meticulous period costume: snug breeches, low-cut silken gowns and negligible undergarments.
It's Mac Salazar, a journalist immersing himself fully, deeply, lustily in the naughty pleasures of upstairs-downstairs dalliances, who piques Louisa's curiosity-and libido-most. He's a dilettante straight out of a novel: uninhibited, unapologetic and nearly insatiable. But Lou's not romantic about this much, at least: Paradise Hall is a gorgeous fantasy, nothing more. A lover like Mac is pure fiction. And the real world beckons….
Get a sneak peek of Janet Mullany's Hidden Paradise (available September 18, 2012) with an excerpt of the Chapter 1
Welcome to Paradise Hall…
When Mac looked at the doorway next, the skinny blonde woman had disappeared. He'd liked seeing her interest, her shock and, above all, enjoyed the fact that she'd blatantly watched, her nipples poking through her shift like bullets. She hadn't done anything overly porno like feeling herself up while she watched, and somehow her restraint had made it more exciting. He'd got that tingle-at-the-back-of-his-neck feeling that someone was watching quite early on in the game. Vivian, he suspected, had known all along, even though she had been as noisy as usual.

Anyone can see that the cast, crew and orchestra are having a blast.In "Chicago," crimes of passion take center stage amidst the glitz and glamour of the Jazz Age. Set in its Prohibition-era namesake city, the musical takes a satirical look at corruption in the criminal justice system and the public's fascination with the "celebrity criminal."The story revolves around the rivalry of two women, chorus girl Roxie Hart and vaudeville star Velma Kelly, who are incarcerated together while awaiting trial on separate murder charges. The production's greatest strengths are its brilliant choreography and memorable songs. Several standout vocal performances put the icing on the cake. This is the musical that produced such favorites as "All That Jazz" and "Cell Block Tango."The Guild pulled together a talented cast for this production. As Velma, Toni Pilato radiates star power, and Katlin Kouns owns the role of the ditzy-but-scheming Roxie. Michael Gore is delightfully seedy as defense attorney Billy Flynn. Kristen Pennington's stern prison matron, Mama, commands the stage. Tim Whitener, as Roxie's cuckolded and meek husband, Amos Hart, brings depth and complexity to the role."Chicago" is one of the longest-running American musicals in Broadway history -- its ongoing popularity fueled in part by the Oscar-winning 2002 film of the same name.The musical is based on a 1926 play by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins, who was inspired by the real-life criminals and crimes she wrote about for the newspaper. The adage "crime does not pay" is not the point; rather, the point is how much is the public willing to pay to get the dirt on these lovely, headline-grabbing murderesses.Additional "Chicago" performances are 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Friday and Aug. 10, with matinee performances at 3 p.m. Sunday and Aug. 11. Reserved-seating tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Charleston Civic Center Little Theatre Box Office or by calling 304-343-2287. Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 WV Gov.

- A survey of 2,000 Canadian mortgage holders by the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP) found home owners are comfortable with their house debt and at least one-third are taking advantage of current low interest rates to accelerate payments. CAAMP also found a correlation with the tightened mortgage lending rules and a slowdown in Canadian housing resale activity as more first-time buyers are shut out of the market.
- More Canadians (36%) took money from their RSPs this year to pay for things this year, according to Scotiabank. The average withdrawl was also up, to $24,531. The top reason cited for tapping registered accounts was buying a first home (40%). Fourteen per cent of Canadians took money out of their RSPs to cover day-to-day living expenses while 6% took money out to pay for a vacation. "Investing in a home and investing in retirement are both important parts of life and finding a way to balance both is key," said Bev Moir, ScotiaMcLeod wealth adviser. "If Canadians are going to take money out of their RSP for a major purchase like a house, they need to have a plan in place to return that money as soon as they can so they don't limit their options in the future. A financial adviser can work with you to map out the best strategy to achieve your goals, particularly if you're dipping into your RSP for day-to-day expenses."
- Speaking of planning, Monday kicks off Financial Planning Week in Canada. Here's a FPSC video featuring average Canadians talking about how planners helped them.

Nokia BH-600 Review
0. phoneArena posted on 10 Sep 2007, 05:26
Even thought being a mid-tier model, BH-600 is truly the best DSP-enabled hands-free we have tested so far. We had really hard time thinking of any CONS and we really are just in love with it and we highly recommend it...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

After having this for a couple of months I can somewhat agree to the score here. The battery life has surpassed that of the rated figures. I let the headset sit, and after 11 days it was still on. It can easily go for a week with about 2 hours of talk time. Phenomenal battery life. The only low points are comfort, fit, and loudness. Because of the design, it might not fit your ear properly, and it doesn't fit mine well at all, since i have a small ear opening. Also, it doesn't sit very well for long periods of time, such as more than an hour. The sound quality I thought was very good, but the problem for me was how soft it sounded. Callers sounded great, but the headset just couldn't get loud enough for me.

== quoted == Even thought being a mid-tier model, BH-600 is truly the best DSP-enabled hands-free we have tested so far. Our previous winner, the Plantronics 665 offered worse DSP performance, a lot shorter battery life and slightly worse sound quality. == unquoted == I am confused... reviews of Pantronics 665 published on 13 March, 2008! And BH-600 was on 10 September, 2007... Why Plantronics 665 becomes a previs winner...

Sir Charles Pollard, acting chair of the Youth Justice Board, said that expecting "Youth Inclusion Programmes" (YIPs) to cut recorded crime by 30 per cent in some of the most deprived areas of the country was "wrong".
Speaking to tonight's BBC's Panorama programme, Sir Charles Pollard also promised to look into revelations that some schemes do not tell children or parents that youngsters names were on lists identifying them as one of a 'top fifty' in an area, deemed to be at risk of offending.
Youth Inclusion Programmes have been in operation for the past four years. They work by identifying a core group of thirteen to sixteen year olds in different areas, and attempting to steer the youngsters from trouble.
Children not told
But Sir Charles Pollard, who was Chief Constable of the Thames Valley Police for eleven years has admitted the target on crime was unrealistic.
"It was really saying we can reduce crime by youngsters and adults by 30 per cent when clearly YIPs are focused very much on youngsters.
"There are also lots of recording issues about how you identify crime. So it has been a difficult one and we've now set a much more realistic target."
The Panorama programme discovered that some YIP workers do not tell the children, or their parents, that they are on the 'top fifty'.
Sir Charles acknowledged concerns that the Youth Justice Board had not set guidelines on whether YIP's should tell youngsters that they'd been singled out.
He said: "I think in some YIP's this is happening. We haven't given detailed guidance on whether we tell them or not."
He promised to look into Panorama's findings, telling programme makers he was grateful for their information.
He said the Youth Justice Board may well issue guidance "if that is a really burning issue".
Sir Charles also admitted that when it came to one of the most recent Youth Justice Board initiatives, "Youth Inclusion and Support Panels",
With the benefit of hindsight they may not be correctly identifying some children they put on the new scheme.
The Youth Justice Board launched Youth Inclusion and Support Panels last year.
These multi-agency forums aim to spot children as young as eight who may be in danger of getting involved in crime in the future.
Sir Charles Pollard told Panorama: "There may be around the edges some youngsters who show all sorts of risk factors and do need help, but with the benefit of hindsight they were not at risk of offending.
"But if we are helping them in any event to have better lives and we thought that those risk factors did mean they were likely to be offending I think that's still worthwhile".

Sony's live-action "Powers" series has its Christian Walker: "District 9" star Sharlto Copley. Plus, Michelle Forbes joins as Retro Girl.
Full article here.
Sony's live-action "Powers" series has its Christian Walker: "District 9" star Sharlto Copley. Plus, Michelle Forbes joins as Retro Girl.
Full article here.
first thoughts on this casting ..
in the comic .. Christian Walker is a bigger build than Sharlto Copley ..
also, Retro Girl has always been pictured as younger than Michelle Forbes .. I mean, "girl" is in her code name .. and Michelle is a woman ..
Interesting casting... I don't quite see Copley as Walker, but hey... Surprise me.
Whoa, first thoughts......horrible casting. Great actors that I haver loved in a few parts, but not the right fit at all.
There's no nice way to say this, but why are they skewing so.....old?
Not trying to bash the show before it's off the ground, but this does not fill me with confidence.
Both awesome actors, and will def add some gravitas to the show. I just don't see either as right for their part.
they are about 20 years too old.
the casting is strange
Isn't Retro Girl spoilers:
end of spoilers in the comics?
incredibly old (as in millenia)
So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God. So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath. So he pulls an alternating-current taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as "the soul". So I hit him. What would you do?
I disagree with most of the above complaints. I can see why they're casting older actors, as Christian is meant to be a world-weary cop, and Retro Girl's name is partly satirical - she is a throwback to a previous age, and it makes sense for her to be an older woman who still sees herself as a young girl. The only complaint I agree with is Sharlto's build, but that's a nitpick.
I'm fairly happy.
