FORT GAY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Neighbors in one town are feeling some optimism that they're gaining ground in the war on drugs.
Thursday night the Wayne County Sheriff's Department made their second bust this week in Fort Gay.
Just after midnight, deputies showed up at Acie Stacy's home with a search warrant.
He wasn't home. Deputies went in and found a pound and a half of marijuana, 5 thousand dollars in cash, and 5 different kinds of pills.
While deputies were searching the home, Stacy pulled into the driveway, and they arrested him.
This came after another big drug bust from Sunday where three members of one family in Fort Gay were arrested.
Neighbors say they're thrilled to see their community being cleaned up.
"It's very, very soothing to know law enforcement is stepping up and involved," Gena Powers, who lives across from Stacy, said.
Deputies can't comment now on whether or not Stacy is connected with the suspects from the bust earlier in the week.
Stacy is being held on a 100-thousand dollar bond in the Western Regional Jail.

Bills training camp observations: Day 15
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 10 2014 6:23PM
The Buffalo Bills returned to the field on Sunday afternoon to one of the muggiest weather days once camp started in July. Some of the players were a bit feisty as well, leading to some raised voices and some heightened interactions.
However, everything was kept under control and all safe and secure while the rest of the team worked through one of their final practices before heading off to Pittsburgh. Who stood out? Here are some notes from the day:
Mike Williams: EJs new best friend?
- When in doubt, throw it up to Mike Williams. That seems to be part of EJ Manuel's reasoning over the past couple of weeks. Williams has really stepped up his game over the past two weeks and is proving to be quite the dependable target for Manuel when they need some yards in a tough spot. Once again, Sunday showed off the wide receiver's red zone abilities. He uses his basketball background to rise up and meet the ball at it's highest point, and also has the penchant for getting both feet down. He did that in the end zone, where Manuel got him the ball in the tightest of spaces for him to get his feet down. He did, and it was a touchdown. The role for Williams could be even bigger than originally thought when they acquired him.
Goal line RB
- Fred Jackson has been one of the mainstays in the Buffalo Bills organization, a fan favorite and a leader in the locker room. Among those characteristics and his hard-nosed running style, for whatever reason, he has historically struggled to punch the ball into the end zone from the goal line. He can do it, but not nearly at as high of a rate that would be indicative of his talent level. With that in mind, the Bills could have quite the goal line specialist on their hands in Anthony Dixon. He shows a general disregard on those plays and gets into the end zone at a higher rate than what Jackson has done in 2014. The Bills are in the business of getting seven points rather than just three, and if they have to bring in someone else to do it, they probably should give it a high amount of consideration.
Cranky Fred
- Fred Jackson was not the happiest of campers on Sunday afternoon. He got into the faces of some of the defensive backs, and while that shouldn't be considered to be all that serious, he let his feelings known after practice. Jackson essentially said that the two practices following a game weren't ideal, but then said they're professionals and will do what's necessary. That isn't all for Jackson, he voiced his general disapproval of heading to Latrobe, Pennsylvania for the upcoming joint practices with the Pittsburgh Steelers after having been asked if he was excited for them:
"No not at all, it's just going to be two days of games. It's going to be a game on Wednesday and a game on Thursday then on Friday we get a day off and then a game on Saturday, but it is what it is, we've got to do that and get through it and take every possible advantage of it and get better."
It's clear one didn't want to get on Jackson's bad side on Sunday. Click here for more on the feisty practice.
Bradham continuing to improve
- Heading into training camp the weakside linebacker position was one that many people thought would have been more of a battle than it has been. That's not to say rookie Preston Brown or anyone else has done poorly enough to gift the job to another, but third-year player Nigel Bradham has just taken the chance and run with it. Bradham has displayed good quickness and recognition during camp and the preseason games, showing off with solid reps against the run and against a screen on Sunday's practice. Even though he's suspended for the first game, there hasn't been any lingering doubt as to who will get that job when the season opens up.
Don't read into 23 with the 2s
- The past two days of practice free safety Aaron Williams has been getting time on the field with the second-team, paving the way for Duke Williams and Da'Norris Searcy to take all the first-team reps. This could seem peculiar at the start, but don't read anything into it. It's simply a case of the coaching staff wanting other players to familiarize themselves in working with one another ahead of the regular season. If Aaron Williams happens to get injured, they want the transition for the combination of Duke Williams and Searcy to be seamless from a communication perspective. Head coach Doug Marrone added that they have been quite happy with the work that Aaron Williams has done to this point.
Day 15 MVP: WR Sammy Watkins
- Another day, and another pretty outlandish one-handed catch for Sammy Watkins. He even shocked quarterback EJ Manuel with his one grab in team drills. The throw was both behind and high of Watkins, he reached back with his left arm and had it stick to his glove like glue, one-handed. The play drew a big "ooh" and "aah" from the crowd and for good reason. It was likely better than the catch he made earlier in camp that went viral.
Day 15 LVP: QB Thad Lewis
- As camp has progressed it just seems like Thad Lewis is on the wrong page with his receivers more often than anyone else. There are always mixups in communication during a camp, but it's happening with him and resulting in turnovers during team drills at a much higher rate than with any of the other quarterbacks. Perhaps it's the result of him working with second and third-team players, but it's become an alarming regularity.
Up Next:
The Bills have Monday off and then resume practice Tuesday morning at 8. Practice will once again be open to the general public.

Bills training camp observations: Day 15
Please enter your comments below.
So the players are angry because they had to practice the day after a game!
Could these guys be further removed from the real world? Boohoo, I feel just terrible, how brave to endure this. Wonder how'd they'd do if Christmas was there 8th straight day at work, and they had to cover for someone? When you really examine this, the players are fragile, constant chronic injuries, and they are sheltered.
Awe some of the Bills are overtired
I feel so badly that they have to work. They should be hourly, then they wouldn't be so abused, very selfless dudes.
Tom Calandra
Your one of those idiots who just wanna stir things up. Watkins deal was a great move as was mike Williams. I bet if I checked u hate EJ as well and would like Fitz back. You sif are a moron.
Two is enough
I don't blame the guys, too many pre season games, they have all been doing this since they were kids. By now if they can't play, remove them from the team. Same with the coach. Players will be exhausted by mid season. Keep them fresh. It's a long season as it is, two pre season games are enough
@So the players....
When you really examine your comment...ummm...scratch that, anyone with a half functioning brain would see that you are an idiot whose brain is further hampered by envy and likely a deep seeded dislike for blacks by simply casually examining your comment. I'm sure your job includes the physical abuse of a football game or practice for that matter. Your brain functions are a joke, like most republicans.
The guy who comments on commission. In ALL professions it's the knucklehead salespeople who make 4-5 times as much as the average admin, managerial, or factory worker. They're completely clueless as to how the operation works, and live on Fantasy Island. They get a huge monthly expense check then still send in outrageous amounts of weekly "expenses". All they do is Bullsh*t and commiserate with the customer. Must be nice. Never saw a salesperson live in a house under 250K and of course most always drive the brand new standard ultra-conservative cars like Camry's or Malibu's. 90% of these people don't there as**ole from a hole in the ground but make far, far more than the people who make the product. Salespeople dont sell products, products sell themselves. You can EASILY compare a professional sports player to a salesperson sir.
Bad Vibes
I've got that feeling that the Bills are gonna suck this year....STILL.
Club Marve
The big fellas wanna bring back Club Eugene Marve Levy!! Bruce used to hold out until the last week of camp so he could hang out and eat.
Don't like it?.....Goodbye
The fact Fred couldn't score at the goal line for how many straight plays, and now he's complaining about the coach's practice schedule. .seems to me like Fred doesn't like that he's not the best player on a bad team anymore. Time for him to go.

Even in the Morbid Curiosity Files, where the acknowledged purpose is to watch films that I expect to be bad, there are sometimes different viewing reasons that come into play. In the case of 2008's The Spirit, it comes down to a form of self-imposed obligation. I may have long since stopped reading comics, but I remain a comic book fan in principle. I enjoy superhero movies as a genre. I like discussing them with other fans of the genre. This means that even if I don't expect greatness out of a film in the genre, I usually want to see it anyway just so I can participate in the discussions.
In the case of The Spirit, there's an extra wrinkle in the form of intellectual honesty. As I have made clear more than once in the past, I am not a fan of Frank Miller; I dislike him as a comic book writer, and I have disliked everything of his I've seen on film. He wrote the Sin City graphic novels, which I disliked, and co-directed the first movie adaptation (and its upcoming sequel) with Robert Rodriguez. I didn't think the change in medium improved it. He wrote the graphic novel 300, which Zack Snyder adapted into a movie that I found hysterically funny even though it wasn't meant to be. He wrote The Dark Knight Returns, a Batman story that I'm in the minority of disliking severely, both on its own merits and for the long-term damage it did to the character's portrayal.
So when I learned he would be writing the screenplay for The Spirit, and that it would be his first solo directorial effort, I was concerned. Continue reading

No, that last photo's not manipulated.
No, that's not a tiny garbage can.
This is the coconut crab (Birgus latro), and you have our current oxygen levels to thank for it not being even bigger. Like, seriously, you guys, this motherfucker maxes out the dimensions attainable by a terrestrial animal with an exoskeleton. It's ten pounds and can get up to three feet from tip to tip. Aaaaaaand it eats meat.
Above: Coconut crabs' preferred diet.
Richard Gillespie, executive director of some organization, thinks they ate Amelia Earhart.* (No, really.)
They're actually primarily vegetarian, and most of the meat they do consume is from the corpses of the dead, but they're on record as being perfectly willing and able to hunt and kill small animals. They take their name from the fact that they eat coconuts, hang out in coconut palms, are roughly the size of a coconut, and will just let go when they're up a tree and don't feel like climbing down. They've also been observed hauling coconuts back up trees and dropping them again to crack the shell faster.
They don't need to drop it to crack it; they're quite capable of opening coconuts with just their claws. But, you know. Coconut crabs were essentially born with only one fuck to give, and they need that for breeding.
I mean, just look at them. Look at them! They stop needing shells to hide in once they hit adulthood, at which point in time they start being able to just hurl themselves out of trees because they're lazy. They don't have gills. They will straight up drown if they spend too long in the water. But that's exactly where they have to go to drop off their spawn, which is a shame on account of the whole "no breathing under water" thing and also the "they can't swim" thing. Seriously, guys. It's a crab that can't swim.
They spend the first month of their life as planktonic larvae, which means they spread pretty easily from island to island, but once they leave the water, that's it. Done. Game over, unless they want to spend the rest of their lives constructing little crab rafts. Which I guess they do have time for, if they want, because they can live over 50 years.
Yes, that's right. These motherfuckers can live as long as a goddamned parrot. Which kind of comes in handy, because molting, which they do every year, takes about two months. Since this isn't really time a crab wants to spend hanging around waiting to get eaten while their shells harden (they eat each other with a quickness, like most crabs), they dig long-ass burrows, line them with coconut fiber, and hide in them until they're good to go.
*This is what people in the greater human society call "something of a reach."

20 years ago today my house burned down, so I wrote a comic about it.
Holy shit that's a cool and terrifying story. Also, having read through the newspaper article at the end, I am looking forward to the Oatmeal comic about having a mother who was an internationally recognized "teddy bear artist."
Bolding is mine. I thought the same thing. I was like, "Hey, way to bury the lede, Matt."

Texting before a date?
I met a girl over the weekend and we're planning on going out later this week. We've already set the date and time so now there's a bit of a wait. So my question is (and I'm particularly interested in hearing from women here), Should I text her between now and then or just wait until the date? I'm admittedly not always great at texting and it would be nice to leave some things to talk about on the date but I don't want to seem disinterested in the mean time.Thoughts?
Thanks everyone.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I don't think that it would hurt to text "JUST A LITTLE" like, "(1)how's your week so far? (2)what are your plans for today after work...(3).or even tell her what you have on your agenda, then end it there.."Maybe, if you are comfortable with her observing your sense of humor (w/o turning her off) say a one line joke.. (optional) I would definitely leave most of the conversation for the date. If a guy asked me out on a date, and I haven't heard from him until the date ( a week or longer), then yes, I would start wondering.
What Girls Said 4
By all means text her at some point I between if there's still days until your date. Midweek or halfway to your date text her and ask her her week is going. You don't have to text for hours or anything but something simple is nice. You can end the conversation by saying looking forward to *day of the date* it should be nice. Keep it short and simple. Personally I would like that, it would make me feel good that the guy is thinking of me but he's not stalking me and leaving things to talk about on the date.
Don't text too much...try calling her a few times as well
Yes! We love to hear from our dates before the actual date- it lets us know you are thinking about us. Now, as with everything, the key is moderation. But a nice, "I am really looking forward to our date," is always nice to hear. Keep the text simple, short and sweet. Have fun!
I would love to hear from the man especially if the date is set (whether details have been discussed or not), women love attention. I would also love to know that the guy is interested in me, because otherwise it might look like he's just around to eventually get sex right? we don't like to feel like objects, and it's OK to show that you're thinking about her, if you really are.
What Guys Said 4
You don't want to come across as too needy though. if you text her a lot before the date, it shows you're too eager and that will make her less attracted to you. Just food for thought
Just text to set up the date and text to confirm.Just let her build up anticipation for the date and don't give too much away in between. Give her an incentive to go on the date to see what's up. You can always text her the day after.
umm when your first seeing a girl you don't want to seem too interested or else she will think you are desperate, remember less is more take it slow their is no rush If you are going to text her say something along the lines of this example your going out Saturday nightHey ______ holy crap this week totally flew by are we still on for tonight?
Millions of people have had relationships before texting was invented. Why do you, or anyone else let it control their lives now? So what if she thinks you seem disinterested...big deal. It won't kill her.
@ update. You'll have to learn it the hard way now. Relationship death by text. I can tell you're the type who will rationalize any behavior from a woman so that it looks positive in your eyes. Women told you what they would want, which contradicts what attracts them. You are completely lost...very very sad.

(This is finished, but I'll mark new Ch.'s. I know there are spelling and gramical errors. ALSO, I do NOT own Nit, Alily, and Cleor. OR the hunger games!)
Ch. 1 Remembering
It started out as a normal everyday well... day for me. Woke up at 6 for school, did the usual routine: get dressed, eat breakfast, do hair, brush teeth and out the door. I get in the pick up, and check my phone before driving away. I had one new text message, assuming it was a friend a check it. It wasn't, it was from an unknown number and it said, "You have volunteered to be a in the hunger games! Congratulations! Effie Trinket." Thinking they were playing a joke on me, I played into it. I text-ed back "O.Kay. where do you want to pick me up?" So I started down the ranch road slowly, when my phone vibrated, I looked at it and I was getting a call. I paused my Ipod and answered the phone. "Hello?" I said.
" Hi, this is Effie trinket. You will need to be by the Railroad tracks by 7:30, OK?" Said a very cheery voice.
" Umm... If this is a joke, its not funny.." I said with a frown.
" Why would you think this is a joke ,deary?" Effie said.
" Because you are not REAL you are from a BOOK." I reasoned.
" No I am not!! that is just rude!! how could you say that?" she yelled over the phone.
I rolled my eyes, and said sarcastically "Sure, I'll meet you at the tracks"
"Yay! I'll see you there!!" She said bubbly. My drive was still it usual half an hour, so I pulled up to the highway around 7:20. I put my blinker on to the left towards Ellsworth. I got to Ellsworth at about 7:25, and to my (not) surprise, there was no train or anything. I parked the truck on the right side of the road, and waited for the bus. I was zoning out on the music when there was a tap at the window. I nearly jumped out of my skin, I paused the music, and rolled down the window.
"What do you want Kaci?" I said with a hint of anger in my voice.
She looked upset, she was still in her horse pajamas, with her lime green cowboy boots on. "I'm sorry, Regina. I would have volunteered, but you can't volunteer another volunteer."
" Kaci? What are you talking about? are you in on the joke too?" I looked at her and she was crying. That was weird. I stepped out of the car, and held her. "W-what's going on?"
She looked up at me, her wavy blond hair, and blue eyes all puffy. "You were chosen for the hunger games, Regina, don't you get it?" Then she held me close while she cried.
"Oh." I said softly "This is for real..." I started to cry, but then I realized, I hadn't packed. I let go of Kaci, and looked in the backseat to find a bag had been packed. There was a note on it. Dear Regina, I love you. I know you are probably going to die. I packed your bags last night, after you passed out. Love Mom and Dad. I looked at Kaci, and she handed me a batch of cookies.
" M-my mom made those for you... She always liked you, Regina." She began to walk away,but the she turned around. "oh yeah, I wanted to give you this." She handed me a hair clip, that was a horse. "Being we are from district ten... ya know" She smiled then scurried away, back to her house. The guard rails went down as a train was pulling to a stop. A very pink and happy looking lady, I assumed was Effie. I looked down at the note, and noticed an arrow pointing to the pack. P.S. Don't take an arrow to the knee. I smiled dad did always have a sense of humor.
"Hello, are you Regina?" Effie said as she walked up to me. I locked the car and place the key under the hood.
"Yeah, this is she." I said grimly. I looked at the town and then to my pick-up, and a tear rolled down my cheek. I would probably never drive it again.
"O.k.!! Follow me in to the train please." She instructed. I followed her on to the train, wondering if my parents had put bowling balls in there. I stepped on to the train, and to my surprise I wasn't the first one to be picked up. We entered the dining cart, and I saw a few familiar faces. Haymitch, Kar (our District's male tribute.), and Jared. I recognized him because last year his brother volunteered for him, and got killed. I guess he doesn't have that good of luck. "This is Regina, district ten's female tribute!" Effie introduced me. "You're going to sit by Kar." She pointed to him. I knew who he was, we were in the same grade and I used to have a crush on him. Most girls did, and why wouldn't they? He was tall, tan, dark (almost black)eyes, blond hair, and muscular; the perfect provider.
"Thanks..." I took my seat and I could see everyone. They all looked pretty mad. About what? It could go either way really.
"Can I have those?" Kar said. Looking in my lap.
Ch.2 The train
Alily: *wandering about the train*
Regina: Sitting next to the other D10 tribute named Kar.
Alily: So bored...
Regina: Starts humming Under the Misle Toe by JB.
Alily: I wish I brought my book with me about now... *still wandering when she hears a hum* What the fudge is that? *gets closer to the hum*
Regina: Changes her hum to Stronger By KC
Alily: *she gets next to Regina* What is that you're humming?
Regina: "huh, Oh, Stronger, its an old song from WAY back when." She smiled at the younger tribute.
Effie: "Excuse me, Regina might i have a word with you?" She said
Alily: Ah.
Regina: Umm... OK?
Effie: walks a little ways away "your Parents are dead."
Regina: "WHAT??"
Effie: yeah they where gunned down, they tried to climb the fence... Regina: oh....
Alily: *sits on the floor and waits for Regina to come back over. she eavesdrops a little and hears Regina's parents are dead, and her face is lit up in shock*
Regina: Walks away from Effie... thinking "oh my gawd, i have to win the games now i have to" sits by Kar
Kar: "What was that about?" Even though he is kinda dumb, he DOES know me best.... Regina: "my parents are dead...."
Alily: *still sitting on the floor, Regina comes back. she pretends she didn't eavesdrop and hears Regina* That must be awful...
Regina: "Its horrible actually, i just... i hope my brother is okay.... "
Kar: "umm, you didn't hear last night?" Regina shakes her head "umm..." He leaned over and whispered "he got out last night, he said he was going to bring you, but you passed out, or something..."
Alily: *she hears something about Regina's brother and remembers her brother, Dave and thinks: I hope Dave is practicing sword-fighting!!!*
Regina: God, why, why me? seriously.... -Kar puts his arm around her- I have nothing to live for now....
Kar: yes you do, you just got to show the capital that that stuff doesn't effect you
Alily: Yeah!!! *sees Kar out his arm around Regina, she remembers the tribute that came with her, who's she had a huge crush on since she was 6*

Ch.3 The Game
I stepped on the platform. "Bye, Cinna" I waved and went up. I saw the cornucopia, and everyone else. I had planned to run and get a weapon, but that appeared to not be an option. 3...2...1. I ran for a bag and attempted to sprint away, but I tripped and fell. Quickly, like hyenas on a dead animal. Someone was on top of me. They attempted to stab me, but I managed to deflect it. It was district one, I kicked his back that seemed to shock him for a moment, just enough time for me to roll him off and me to sprint away. I heard him say as i sprinted.
"We'll get her next time." The continued running then i slowed to a jog and kept it up. I found a nice cave where i knew no one could ever find me. I slipped in and thats when the cannon started. 1...2...3...4...5. 'Only five today? wow its usually almost all.' I thought. The "sky" darkened and I was more than ready to sleep.
I woke with a start. Alily was leaning over me with a knife. I raised my leg and kicked her in the stomach. Hard. She coughed. I grabbed a rock and pounced on her. I hit her head "I" again. "THOUGHT" Again. "WE" Again. "WERE" Again. "FRIENDS!" The last time. I was covered in blood, her skull was completely caved in. "Oh. My. God." 'i HAVE to drag the body out.' I thought. BOOM the canon signaled her death. I dragged her out, said a prayer, and went back in my cave. 'Nit, will kill me for this' I thought. I went down the river with a rag and dropped it in the water. I picked it back up and went to my cave, for cleaning. I slapped the rag and started scrubbing. It was mid- mourning when I finished up. I was quietly humming to my self, when something in the bushes moved. I crouched down in the front of my cave and watched intensely. Then five people walked out of the bushes.
"Oh my GOD!" The district two girl laughed "Did you see her face, it was all like" She made a really odd looking face then, started to scream and imitation. "Please don't kill me, please, I can help you!' And then when i got her! That was the funniest part! 'I love you, mum. I hope everyone will remember me...'" She laughed even harder.
I heard a familiar laugh "Yeah, she looked so stupid" My anger ran high, i wanted to jump out and kill them all. It was Kar. Of course HE was a career. I bet he even thinks all the girls in our District are impressed. God I hated him, so arrogant.
"Are you sure she went THIS way?" Nit chimed in.
"Absolutely sure, you see that?" He said "That's her fire, I can tell."
" I thought you 'Loved' her, Kar!" District Two giggled.
"I was doing that to gain her trust, DUH!" He laughed "You guys are SO naive." At that moment, I knew I hated him, he was a stupid, arrogant boy.
"So, uh, let's keep going, the sooner we find her the sooner the games will end." Nit grumbled. There was some banter i didn't catch then they left. I breathed out. 'I'm so glad that Nit doesn't know yet.' I hopped down and started looking for easy pray. An injured bird lays on the ground cooing softly. I am careful not to get too close frighten it. I grab my knife by the blade, and aim carefully, then chuck it. Hitting the bird in the neck, I walk up and grab the decapitated bird. I recognize it instantly, it was a cukoo. I go back up to my cave and start a very small fire, and but the fowl in it. I pull it out when it looks cooked pretty good. I munched on it awhile and them the screen showed up.
" District One, Alily died." I frowned, regretting killing such a young person. I stuffed the rest of the meat in my backpack, and went to sleep.
Ch. 4 The Finale
I was sitting in my cave being almost EVERYONE was dead, there where 4 people left. Nit, Kar, Me, and the girl from District 5. I was chilling munching on some berries. When I heard Kar shout my name. "REGINA!! HELP! CLOER GOT ME!! HELP!" I slowly crawled out of the cave, assuming it was a trick, I had found a Samari Sword, was drawn out. "REGINA! I THINK I'M DIEING! HELP ME! PLEASE!" I shuddered, as i walked towards his voice. When i found him, he was in a pool of his own blood. A cannon boomed.
"KAR!" I sprinted to his side, but I was too late, he was already gone. "No. no. no. no. no. no. no.no!" I yelled, his blood was all over me. "No, God, please." I sobbed rocking him like a child. "Why? Why did you take him? I didn't even get to say good bye!" I didn't care how ridiculous I looked, I had loved him, i knew neither of us could have won, but I didn't get to tell him. I cried for a bit, then I heard a rustle. I stood up, and looked around then I yelled, "COME AT ME! YOU MURDERER! COME AT ME!" I heard a familiar giggle. Cloer. She had to pay. I lifted up my sword. "Come at me." I whispered. Then I heard a battle cry, I turned to the noise with my sword out, I closed my eyes. A blood curdling scream. I opened my eyes, and there she was, stabbed into my sword. She dropped the knife she held over her head.
"Oh..." She said weakly, before she fell backwards on to the ground. Blood splatered everywhere when she hit the cold hard ground. Just like that she was gone. Poor girl. Now it was just me and Nit. I climbed a near by tree, i got to about mid height and started hopping from tree to tree. I was thinking 'I gotcha where i wantcha, now im gonna getcha' over and over. When all of the sudden i was strung up by my feet. Which was a VERY dizzy experience. I heard walking. Oh no. no no no no no no no no no. It was Nit I tried to reach a tree to escape, but it was too far away.
"Oh, this is just TOO easy." He laughed, shaking his head. "I mean, I just layed a rope down, and BOOM! I caught you." He smiled up at me, he was pretty bloodied up himself. A black eye, a cut down his arm, and chapped, bleeding lips. "You killed the only love in my life, and now... you have to pay the price." He raised a knife to my throat. I grimaced, but I was not going to beg for salvation. He slit my throat, and i died instantly, then he raised the knife to his heart, and stabbed.
No body won the 69th Hunger Games, because of one girl who thought I'd be an easy target, and the revenge of a lover. But as I would imitate Effie, "The odds where in nobody's favor this time around." I Hope you learned a lesson all of you, don't back stab anyone, even if you think they're an easy target.

Christianity in West Bengal
Christianity in West Bengal, India is a minority. At the 2001 census, there were 515,150 Christians in West Bengal, or 0.6% of the population.[1] Among the Scheduled Tribes, the percentage was 6.1%.[2] Although Mother Teresa worked in Kolkata (Calcutta), Christianity is a minority in Kolkata as well. West Bengal has the highest number of Bengali Christians. Bengali Christians have been established since the 16th century with the advent of the Portuguese in Bengal. Bengali Christians are mostly members of one of a few clans (e.g. Das and Hansda); they use Bengali translated Bibles and prayers.
It has been present since the 16th century. The Portuguese established a settlement in Bandel, Hooghly district in the 16th century, and Bandel Church, perhaps the first church in West Bengal, was built in 1599.[3] Burnt down during the sacking of Hooghly in 1632, the church was rebuilt in 1660. The followers of Christianity mainly settled in Barddhmann, Bankura, Kolkata and Hooghly district of West Bengal.
William Carey, who founded the Baptist Missionary Society, went to India in 1793 and worked as a missionary in the Danish colony of Serampore, because of opposition from the British East India Company. He translated the Bible into Bengali (completed 1809) and Sanskrit (completed 1818). His first Bengali convert was Krishna Pal, who renounced his caste after conversion. In 1818, Serampore College was founded to train local converts for the ministry.
St. Paul's Cathedral, Kolkata is the seat of the Anglican Diocese of Calcutta (1813) of the Church of North India. The Roman Catholic ecclesiastical province which has its seat in West Bengal is the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Calcutta (1834).

Freed to Kill,... Again!
Vallejo, CA -- A Vallejo man accused of murdering his elderly mother three decades after escaping the death sentence he earned by abducting and killing two teenage girls seemed to lay bare his demons Friday in a Fairfield courtroom. "This is the third one," muttered Dennis Fink Stanworth, 70 (pictured above-center) as he sobbed and sat slumped in a wheelchair during his brief arraignment in Solano County Superior Court. "I plead guilty to everything," he said, later adding, "I did everything."
Stanworth made his first court appearance two days after he allegedly called 911 to report he had killed his 90-year-old mother, Nellie Stanworth, at his home in the quiet Hiddenbrooke subdivision. Officers found her decomposed body in the backyard.
The victim lived in a mobile-home park in American Canyon. Her neighbors said "Nellie Belle," as they called her, had been in good health but had been losing her mobility. She had recently suffered a fall that required stitches above one of her eyes, they said. The neighbors said they had not seen her for more than a month, and that Dennis Stanworth - who continued to pick up his mother's mail every day - reported she had died. Records show someone put the home up for sale for $39,000 on Nov. 29, then pulled it off the market two weeks later.
Judge Donna Stashyn refused to accept Stanworth's attempted plea after his attorney stepped in to silence him. Stanworth is scheduled to return to court Friday to face charges that could send him - once again - to Death Row. Deputy District Attorney Karen Jensen said after the arraignment that Nellie Stanworth was killed on or about Nov. 6 at the house, which the defendant shared with his wife and her father. Police have questioned both. "It's unclear at this time what they knew and when they knew it," Jensen said. She declined to comment on possible motives for the killing and said an autopsy conducted Friday might reveal a cause of death. Jensen said her office will decide whether to seek capital punishment at a later date.
Dennis Stanworth is eligible for the death penalty because prosecutors charged him with a special circumstance that is rarely alleged - that he murdered someone after previously being convicted of murder. Dennis Stanworth's wife, who attended the court hearing, and his attorney, Deputy Public Defender Oscar Bobrow, declined to comment.
Stanworth was sentenced to death in 1966 for murdering Susan Box, 15, and Caree Collison, 14, both students at De Anza High School in El Sobrante, after he picked them up as they were hitchhiking in Pinole. He drove them to a spot overlooking San Pablo Bay, where he shot Collison in the head when she tried to escape. Then he shot Box and had sex with her body, according to court records. Before the killings, Stanworth kidnapped three young women in El Sobrante and Richmond in separate incidents in 1965 and 1966 and sexually assaulted them, court records show.
While on Death Row, Stanworth wrote to the California Supreme Court, saying he wanted to waive the automatic appeal of his death sentence. "Please be merciful and give me an endless sleep as soon as you can so this pain and suffering that I have will be no more," he said. But five years after his conviction, the California Supreme Court overturned his death sentence because of irregularities during jury selection.
He was again sentenced to death after a retrial, but that term was commuted to life in prison in 1974 after the state's capital punishment law was declared unconstitutional. He was paroled in 1990.

Mayes of Death!
Tennessee -- Police in two states and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are hunting for Adam Mayes. Authorities believe he still holds the two youngest daughters of Jo Ann Bain, whose body was discovered along with that of her 14-year-old daughter Adrienne, behind a barn on Mayes' property.
Teresa Mayes, wife of Adam Mayes, was arrested Sunday along with his mother, Mary Mayes, officials said Tuesday. Both remain jailed at Hardeman County Jail in Tennessee. Teresa Mayes, 31, has been charged with four counts of especially aggravated kidnapping and held on a $500,000 bond, Hardeman County Circuit Court Clerk Linda Fulghum said. Mary Mayes, 65, has been charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit especially aggravated kidnapping and held on $300,000 bond, the clerk said. The two Mayes women were arrested without incident late Sunday in Union County, Mississippi, and transported across the state line to Hardeman County, where they were booked early Monday, Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said.
"We developed information that led us to believe that they were a part of it," Edwards said. An affidavit filed with the Hardeman County Court said that Teresa Mayes told Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents that she drove the victims from Hardeman County, Tennessee, to Union County, Mississippi. Edwards said it doesn't appear either woman knows the whereabouts Adam Mayes or the two missing Bain children. Mayes was last seen in Guntown, north of Tupelo, last Tuesday, according to the FBI.
On Monday, the medical examiner in Memphis confirmed two bodies found last weekend behind Mayes' barn in Guntown, Mississippi, were those of Jo Ann Bain, 31, and her oldest daughter, Adrienne Bain, 14, the FBI said. Both Teresa and Mary Mayes told investigators they saw Adam Mayes digging in the backyard in Mississippi on April 27, the day of the disappearance. Authorities also believe at least one of the two Mayes women knew about the bodies, Edwards said. He didn't say which one.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said it is believed Mayes has changed his appearance and that he may have altered the appearances of his victims, perhaps by cutting and dying their hair. Bain's other two daughters, Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, 8 - taken along with their mother and older sister from their home - were believed to still be with Mayes, the FBI said on Monday night. Bain's husband reported the four missing from their rural western Tennessee home April 27. Mayes, described as a friend of the family who was at their home to help them move to Arizona, was quickly identified as a suspect.

The Grim-X-mas Reaper!
A man charged in the bludgeoning death and dismemberment of a 9-year-old Indiana girl is wanted in Florida for violating probation in 2000, officials said Wednesday. Michael Plumadore, 39, faces one count of murder in the death of Aliahna Lemmon (pictured above, center). He was being held without bond after a court appearance Tuesday. He was arrested Monday night after the girl's body was found. Allen County Sheriff Ken Fries told media sources, "Some of the story we heard from the beginning with him led us to believe he was the key to this case, that ... he was the one who was going to have the answers we were looking for."

Waterville, Maine (WCJB) -- On Wednesday, Waterville police said they have wrapped up large-scale searches for missing child, Ayla Reynolds. With assistance from firefighters and residents, authorities have repeatedly probed private properties, nearby woods, open fields and waterways on foot and by air, according to the Waterville police. They have searched trash bins and drained a stream in an attempt to find the missing toddler. Police concluded that Ayla, who recently started walking, did not leave the house on her own.
The child was reported missing on Dec. 17, 2011. She was last seen by Justin DiPietro, the father of 20-month-old Ayla, in his Waterville, Maine home, when he put her to bed the previous night.

"We have reason to believe inbreeding occurred in Aron's family."-- December 21, 2011, Statement by a defense attorney for accused child killer/torturer Levi Aron to media sources regarding his defense for Mr. Aron's actions. New York (WCJB) -- The lawyer for the man charged with kidnapping and killing an 8-year-old boy in Brooklyn last summer says inbreeding is partially to blame for his client's actions. In July, police found 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky's (pictured right) remains divided between a freezer in Levi Aron's (pictured left) attic apartment and a trash bin more than two miles away. The boy had asked Aron for directions after getting lost on his seven-block walk home from summer camp, police said. It was his first time making the trip alone. Kletzky died after being drugged and then smothered, New York City's chief medical examiner said after an autopsy in July. "We have reason to believe" inbreeding occurred in Aron's family, a defense attorney told media sources Wednesday. Asked what proof of inbreeding he had, the attorney said he had "anecdotal evidence in talking to the family," but declined to elaborate. Asked how inbreeding might lead someone to murder, the attorney said he is "not a medical doctor," but believes that inbreeding "can result in certain kinds of mental defects." Aron pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in August, according to his attorney. A status conference in the case was held Wednesday. Both sides discussed the turning over of discovery materials at the pretrial hearing, the attorney said. Schizophrenia and brain trauma also factored into Aron's actions, his attorney contended to media sources. Aron has a family history of schizophrenia, the attorney said. His sister committed suicide as a result of the mental illness, according to the attorney. And at a young age Aron suffered a brain-damaging fall from a bicycle, his attorney said. "He's virtually catatonic each and every time I have (been) called upon to deal with him," he said of his client's mental condition. A mental evaluation of Aron in August found that he was fit to stand trial. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for March. Aron's attorney declined to say whether he would raise the issue of inbreeding at trial, emphasizing that the defense team would continue to investigate that angle in the coming months. He did not specify what form that investigation would take. If convicted, Aron could face a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.

New York (WCJB) -- A 47-year-old man was arrested Sunday in the death of a 73-year-old woman who was set on fire in the elevator of her Brooklyn apartment building, telling police the woman owed him $2,000, New York police said. Jerome Isaac (pictured above, center) faces charges of first-degree and second-degree murder, along with arson, police said in a statement. Isaac told police Gillespie owed him $2,000 for work he claims he did for her, said NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne. He turned himself in to police overnight or early Sunday morning, he said.
A preliminary investigation showed the man was standing outside the elevator on the fifth floor and attacked the woman as she was attempting to exit, authorities said. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras inside and outside the elevator, and police have the videotapes, Browne said. Authorities believe Isaac initially sprayed the woman with a flammable liquid, presumably gasoline, and continued to spray her as he followed her back into the elevator, Browne said.
The woman was first sprayed in the face, he said. Then, using "one of those long lighters that you would use for a grill, he lit a Molotov cocktail and used the burning leg on top of that to ignite her body," Browne said. The suspect stepped out of the elevator, threw the Molotov cocktail inside, then returned again to spray more liquid on the woman as she burned, he said. Authorities responding to a 911 call of a fire found the woman's body inside the elevator. She was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the police statement.

Eagle Rock Fire!
"I went to grab her, not to hurt her but to talk to her."-- Los Angeles Fire Department captain David Del Toro, 54, testifying before jurors that he did not kill Jennifer Flores at his Eagle Rock home, or later drag her dead body down the road attached to his pick-up truck. Los Angeles, CA -- A former Los Angeles Fire Department captain who killed a woman in his Eagle Rock home and dragged her nude body behind his truck was sentenced Friday to 15 years to life in prison for a crime the judge called "baffling." Following a three-week trial, David Del Toro (pictured above, center) was found guilty in March of the second-degree murder of Jennifer Flores, 42, whose battered body was found dumped in the street a few blocks from the fire fighter's home in August 2006. Del Toro, 55, was a 23-year veteran of the city's fire department at the time of the murder. He had served as a drill instructor and worked at stations in Arleta, Skid Row, Lincoln Heights, Silver Lake and Hollywood. "He's done wonderful things in his life," Judge Lance Ito said before handing down the sentence. "So it makes the events of the day in question so much more baffling. You can't have these factors come together and make any sense." Flores, of San Gabriel, was an acquaintance whom Del Toro had allowed to stay at his home the previous night. She had been beaten so badly that her jaw, ribs and nose were broken before she was strangled. Other injuries included postmortem road rash on her back, which investigators believe occurred when Flores' body fell out of the back of Del Toro's truck and was dragged for about a mile. "It's unfathomable how this man beat the life out of this woman, mutilated her hair ... then continued to drag her lifeless, naked body on the street as if killing her wasn't enough," said Ellen Flores, the victim's sister-in-law. "Only an evil man could have done this. Even an animal does not deserve to be so ruthlessly killed." Del Toro had killed Flores in a drunken rage when she turned him down for sex, dumped her body and returned home to clean up the mess, according to prosecutor Bobby Grace. The firefighter had a history of alcoholism and domestic violence, and was temporarily suspended by the fire department for beating an ex-wife and ex-girlfriend, Grace said. "It was inevitable he was going to end up killing somebody," Grace said after the sentencing. But Del Toro, who testified in his own defense, maintained that he did not kill Flores, although he admitted that his memory was spotty from the heavy drinking he had done that night. "I don't remember killing her. I don't believe I killed her," Del Toro said during testimony. "I just didn't kill her. I don't know how I would know, but I know I didn't kill her." The Flores family had hoped for a first-degree murder conviction, which would have meant a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison. With the second-degree murder conviction, Del Toro will have to serve 85 percent of his sentence - about 12 or 13 years - before being eligible for parole, according to Grace. The firefighter was also given 1,555 days credit for time served since his Nov. 2006 arrest. Members of the Flores family, who described the five-year ordeal as "grueling," were relieved at some semblance of closure, but said they would never fully get over Jennifer Flores' death. "Her future was cut way too short," said Edward Flores, her father. "I cry for her every single day. We won't be able to hug her ... she'll never have children."

Weleetka, Oklahoma -- A 25-year-old Oklahoma man was charged Friday with murder in the deaths of two girls who were found about three and a half years ago, shot to death in a ditch alongside a remote country road. "We don't believe that he knew (the slain girls) directly," Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Director Stan Florence said Friday of Kevin Sweat (pictured left). "We just believe that he happened to be in the area that day."
According to a probable cause affidavit, Sweat told investigators on September 13 that he'd been driving his Chevrolet Cavalier where the girls were found when he saw "two monsters" come at him. The suspect said he "panicked," shooting the "monsters" first with a Glock .40 handgun and then with a .22 handgun he'd had in his glove box, the affidavit said. It claimed Sweat had voluntarily waived his rights and agreed to talk to investigators. The "monsters" are believed to be best friends Taylor Paschal-Placker, 13, of Weleetka and Skyla Jade Whittaker, 11, of nearby Henryetta, who were discovered June 8, 2008, by Taylor's grandfather. They had been shot in the head and chest, eight times for Skyla and five for Taylor, the state medical examiner reported after an autopsy.

SACRAMENTO, CA – In what police say is an extremely rare and disturbing case, a Sacramento woman was arrested this morning for allegedly killing her 6-week-old daughter in March by placing her in a microwave oven. Ka Yang, 29 (pictured left) was arrested at her Sacramento home this morning and charged with homicide after a three-month investigation into what caused unusual burns on the child, Mirabelle Thao-Lo, who was found dead on the afternoon of March 17.
Sacramento police spokeswoman Laura Peck said there have been only three previous cases involving a child being burned in a microwave, and that detectives studied those cases and consulted with medical experts and pathologists before making the arrest. "It was a lengthy investigation to determine how these burns occurred," Peck said. "When the officers arrived on scene they immediately saw there were unexplained injuries because of the burns. That led to this very lengthy, involved investigation to determine how these unusual and rare injuries occurred."
The infant's fourth-degree burns were among the worst investigators at the Sacramento County Coroner's Office had seen, coroner's spokesman Ed Smith said. "The child was apparently killed by the burning of the tissue," Smith said. "I don't know if they can say how long baby was in the microwave."
Yang has three other children, all boys ages 7 and younger, and they were removed from the home that day, police said. The mother remained under suspicion while detectives studied previous cases in Texas, Virginia and Ohio. Peck said the Texas case involved a Galveston child who survived being placed inside a microwave. A second case in Dayton, Ohio, involved the 2005 death of a 4-week-old baby and resulted in a guilty verdict and life sentence last month for the baby's mother. The 1999 death of a 1-month-old Virginia baby resulted in a five-year sentence for the mother. Peck said the rarity of such cases contributed to the length of time between Mirabelle's death and today's arrest.
"That's why it took so long," she said. "Normally, we make an arrest within a few days. But in a situation like this where we had to do so much analysis, it took some time for us to piece together." Jail records show Yang is still in the process of being booked on charges of murder and assault resulting in the death of a child under 8.
There have been three other known cases of babies being burned inside microwaves before today's arrest of Ka Yang, including: — The September 1999 death of 1-month-old Joseph Lewis Martinez in New Kent County, Va. The baby was found in the oven and his mother, Elizabeth Renee Otte, told authorities she became confused during an epileptic seizure and placed the boy in the microwave instead of a bottle of milk. She was charged with murder and in 2000 pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to five years. — The August 2005 death of 4-week-old Paris Talley in Dayton, Ohio. Talley's mother, China Arnold, stood trial three times before her conviction last month on charges of aggravated murder. The jury in the case recommended a life sentence. — The May 2007 injury of 2-month-old Ana Mauldin, who suffered burns on her left ear and arm after being placed inside a microwave oven for about 10 seconds in a Galveston, Texas, motel. The girl's father, Joshua Mauldin, originally told authorities the child had been injured through by sunburn or scalding water. He was convicted in 2008 of injuring a child and sentenced to 25 years.

Some observers say they see a familiar pattern in the aggressive marketing of an unproved addiction treatment regimen called Prometa: founder Terren Peizer similarly hyped an anti-AIDS drug, Immunitin, in the 1990s, but the drug never made it to market.
MSNBC reported Nov. 1 that Peizer's Hythiam Corp. is marketing the $12,000-$15,000 Prometa regimen to governments and insurers as a treatment for methamphetamine, cocaine, and alcohol addiction. Small communities hard-hit by meth are seen as an especially ripe market.
Critics, however, say that Prometa's claimed effectiveness is backed by little other than anecdotes. "The marketing is way ahead of the science," said Lori Karan, a researcher at the Drug Dependence Research Laboratory at the University of California San Francisco. "It preys on the needs of desperate patients, sets unreasonable hopes and expectations and takes advantage of scarce economic resources."
Peter Banys, director of addiction programs at the VA Medical Center in San Francisco, added, "I would never recommend that someone spend $15,000 on this with the current state of data (and) I think it's improper to spend public money on this product at this time."
The Prometa regimen consists of administration of three prescription drugs, none of which have been approved for addiction treatment by the FDA. The company is now conducting clinical research on the mix, but has gone ahead with marketing Prometa — including with ads featuring the late comedian Chris Farley, who died of an overdose.
Study results may not be ready until 2008. "Counties don't care about double-blind placebo-controlled data," said Peizer. "What's interesting about Prometa is that out in the field — in the counties, justice systems, private centers — the clinical relevance is being shown daily." Hythiam claims that Prometa produces an abstinence rate of 60-80 percent among the 1,000-plus people who have undergone the treatment.
Fulton County, Ga., Pierce County, Wash., and Gary, Ind., are among the local communities that have adopted or tested Prometa. Hythiam is marketing the treatment at anti-drug conferences in communities where meth has become a major problem. Terree Schmidt-Whelan, director of the Pierce County Alliance, a nonprofit treatment center in Tacoma, Wash., called the results of Prometa with hardcore meth addicts "phenomenal."
"I've been in this field for 30 years, and to see people change their lives in a week, and so dramatically, it's just wonderful," she said.
Peizer is a former junk-bond salesman who worked for Michael Milken; his past investments included the company that makes Candie's shoes, a firm that went bankrupt after marketing a automobile tire it claimed would not go flat, and a successful computer company that bought the assets of Cray Research, the famous supercomputer company.
Peizer's past statements about Immunitin, the ill-fated anti-AIDS drug, sound similar to his claims about Prometa. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. We have something special," he told reporters in 1998.
Peizer owns 35 percent of Hythiam, where stock prices have risen more than 60 percent in three months.
