Seattle filmmaker Robinson Devor has begun filming this month for his new documentary, "In the Forest There Is Every Kind of Bird." The film examines the widely reported 2005 incident of a man in Enumclaw who died after having sex with a horse.
Devor, whose previous film, "Police Beat," premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year, hopes to bring the new film to Sundance in 2007. It will continue filming through July and into August.
In the meantime, "Police Beat" Devor's and writer Charles Mudede's made-in-Seattle drama about a bicycle cop will open for a week's run at the Varsity July 14.

GROESBECK, Texas A Central Texas woman was recuperating at a Temple hospital after she reported being run off a rural road, kidnapped and then raped and beaten by her abductors, authorities said. The 18-year-old woman was in stable condition Thursday following surgery. She had walked and crawled a half-mile to find help after her abductors left her for dead along a highway early Wednesday morning, authorities said. "She spent more than two hours in hell," Limestone County Sheriff Dennis Wilson said.
Wilson said Javier Guzman Martinez, 17, and Noel Darwin Hernandez, 22, both of Mexia, had been arrested for the crime and were charged Thursday with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping. The suspects began following the woman late Tuesday night as she left Mexia, about 40 miles east of Waco, where she was visiting friends, authorities said. The suspects did not know the woman. The woman told investigators she was driving at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday on a state highway toward her home in a Limestone County town when a car rammed her sport utility vehicle and forced her off the road, Wilson said. The woman told investigators that the men forced her into their car, and then drove around rural county roads while they sexually assaulted, stabbed and beat her, Wilson said. just doing the jobs Americans won't Continued on Page 49

I blame the employers for attracting them with jobs.
me too. It's time we start placing the blame on this whole immigration problem where it belongs. it belongs on the employers, big and small who hire this semi-slave class to move up here. Even those rantburg readers with illegal maids and yard workers should be ashamed. I've been guilty of that. But then, I wouldn't do that now.
In the end, these people are not cheaper. We pay for them with our taxes and crime, the loss of our votes and the rise of political parties who cater to keeping this semi-slave class available.
#3
These sons of bitches deserve a .40 bullet to the head without further ado. I'd like to see all illegals shot on sight and the bastards who hired them jailed with confiscation of all assets. At least it's Texas. They'll pay a price there.

It seems me quite logical that the people who eploy illegals pay for the costs instead of letting them to the ta payer. Those costs include, between other things, additional cops and indemnification of the victims.
Thois way we would have "price veracity" and the employment of illegals would become less attractive.
These are the fine upstanding people we want to reward with an easy and quick path to citizenship - not those law-abiding immigrants who have been patently waiting for years to get their visa.
A MAN allegedly killed his wife for dowry at a Naogaon village on Saturday. The deceased is Tazma Begum, 24, wife of Jewel Rahman of village Bujurkantapur under Mohadebpur upazila.
The police, quoting local people, said Jewel, son of Nabiruddin of the village, married Tazma, daughter of Abu Taleb, about two years back. During the marriage her parents also gave him Tk 20,000 as dowry. But soon after the marriage Jewel started torturing her for more money. On the fateful day, he picked up a quarrel with Tazma over the issue at about 11:00 am and beat her mercilessly, killing her on the spot.
Later, the greedy man hanged her body from the ceiling of his house to prove that she had committed suicide and went into hiding. On information, the police recovered the body and sent it to hospital morgue for a post-mortem examination. A case was filed with the police in connection with the killing.

CHITTAGONG, Jul 2: - The US Navy hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) arrived and anchored off the coast of Cox's Bazar yesterday to provide humanitarian and civic assistance to the people of Bangladesh.
The Mercy is uniquely capable of supporting medical and humanitarian assistance needs and can rapidly respond to a range of situations at short notice, said an announcement. It said the mission reflects longstanding ties between the United States and Bangladesh, as well as continued U.S. commitment to work together to address mutual problems and concerns.
Adam. Gary Roughead, commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet said that the Mercy medical team, made up of doctors from the U.S., Indian and Canadian military, and members of non-governmental organizations, would work closely together with Bangladeshi medical personnel to bring medical care to the people of Bangladesh. The new level of cooperation among military medicine and NGOs, and the extensive medical capability of Mercy, bring much to Bangladesh and the region, he said.

A small bomb partially destroyed a bronze bust of iconic guerrilla Ernesto "Che" Guevara on the ground floor of a labor federation in the west-central Bolivian city of Oruro. Thursday afternoon's blast came three days before elections for a Constituent Assembly the new Socialist government hopes will write a leftist charter for the Andean nation, and two weeks after President Evo Morales joined with the late rebel's son to commemorate his birthday in the village where he was summarily executed by Bolivian forces in 1967.
Unionists in Oruro blamed the attack on unidentified "rightist terrorists" they claimed were seeking to disrupt Sunday's elections.
How do you say 'Kristallnacht' in Spanish?
The blast took place as union officials were meeting on an upper floor of the headquarters of Oruro's Provincial Labor Federation. Union leader Remigio Lopez said the explosive device blasted away the upper right-side portion of the sculpture of Guevara's head. He said that, upon hearing the blast, he and other unionists rushed downstairs to the spot where the statue stands, but the person or persons who had placed the device had fled.

Che was a pathological murderer nothing else. I don't hold with the non military use of bombs or with terrorist bombers but this makes me smile. Che was a pig and died like one as he richly deserved.
#3
I recall how Bolivian peasants marched over 10 miles on foot, to rat on the Argentian Fidelist. When I was in La Paz in the seventies, an elderly Bolivian - with Chaco War experience - proudly told me about how his countrymen executed a corrupt President. El Dictador - Villarol - was swung from a lamp post. Mussolini was hung upside down after being shot; Bolivians are the only people who took the rope to their leader.
#6
My favorite Che story: just after the Bolivian army ambushed and wounded Che, he was laying the ground pleading for his life. He was saying, "don't shoot me, I'm worth more to you alive."
The Bolivians knew better, of course, and killed him.

Mike Tyson used to end fights with his arms upraised in triumph. Then he got a Che Guevara tattoo. Now he ends fights on the ground, a bloodied mess, battered and bowed, pounded almost beyond recognition. Lennox Lewis didn't just defeat him, he stomped him. It was a hideous thing to watch, even if you loathe Mike Tyson.
Tyson was jinxed by that Che tattoo. There's no other explanation. Somebody should have enlightened mighty Mike about the real Che Guevara.
#8
Umm Steve, I beg to differ about who killed El Che. It was an anti-Castro Cuban whose nom de guerre was Felix Gomez. And yes, Che did utter those words, as Mr. Gomez will confirm.
One of my best friends happens to be a long time pal of Mr. Gomez -- both go back to childhood days in pre-Castro Cuba. Mr. Gomez was a CIA operative who fought the good fight against communism in Cuba, Latin America, Afirca, and even Indochina.
Bolivian and US Special Forces captured Che, and it was Mr. Gomez who helped interrogate El Che. He capped it off, with Bolivian permission of course, by putting two .45 caliber rounds into Che's bossom. Mr. Gomez still has the SOB's watch.
Noam Chomsky is often hailed as Americas premier dissident intellectual, a fearless purveyor of truth battling against media propaganda, murderous U.S. foreign policy, and the crimes of profit-hungry transnational corporations.
He enjoys a slavish cult-like following from millions leftist students, journalists, and activists worldwide who fawn over his dense books as if they were scripture. To them, Chomsky is the supreme deity, a priestly master whose logic is beyond question.
However as one begins to examine the interviews and writings of Chomsky, a different picture emerges. His books, so vociferously lauded in leftist circles, appear to be calculated disinformation designed to distract and confuse honest activists. In fact, since the 1960's Chomsky has acted as the premier Left gatekeeper, using his elevated status to cover up the major crimes of the global elite.
In his book The Conspirators Hierarchy, Dr. John Coleman named Chomsky as a deep cover CIA agent working to undermine social protest groups. Certainly Dr. Colemans claims appear validated by an honest review of Chomskys role as a Left gatekeeper.
Hit the link for the gory details. It's hilarious.

You know, Chomsky is such an easy target for derision that there might be some merit to this accusation -- maybe some long-ago counter-intelligence program recruited him to discredit the left. The problem is, nobody imagined that he would actually be taken seriously. In any event, when leftists fall out the rest of us can only profit.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. --Federal authorities are investigating Yale's accounting practices covering millions of dollars in government research grants, school officials said Monday. Authorities also have been interviewing university employees about accounting issues.
"Regardless of the outcome of the current investigation, we must get all our processes right and make sure that we are good stewards of the funds entrusted to us by the federal government," Yale President Richard Levin said in a statement issued Monday. "We know that we have more work to do." In an e-mail to faculty and staff on Friday, Levin urged employees to cooperate with investigators.
Like most large research universities, Yale relies heavily on government grants to pay for scientific research. A report by the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services noted in February that university procedures were not always followed or were inadequate. The school has acknowledged it must improve its accounting process and has hired a consulting group to speed up accounting improvements.
A clear acknowledgement of guilt if I've ever seen one.
I've recently started seeing more exposes of this kind of stuff - but not in the MSM. There seem to be a lot of universities feeding at this huge trough. Now, when military contractors do this sort of stuff, you hear about it for years.

My institution has also been audited by the Feds in the past, for grants, Medicare money, etc., etc., etc. From this I know -- 1) you never win in an audit 2) you have to do everything they tell you to do 3) if later they come back and change the rules, pointing that one does NOT help you.

If an African-American runs against her, he should turn her "talks to power" slogan against her.
"She can 'talk to power' all day, and does, and it doesn't change anything. But if you elect a black republican, he won't 'talk to power', he will *be* power. He won't talk about bringing in new jobs, or getting loans, or getting federal money, he will do it. McKinney talks and talks and talks, but nothing ever happens except she looks foolish."
#2
We tell the story about our people," McKinney recently told an applauding crowd, sweltering under a tent at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, in the heart of McKinney's district. "Thank you for supporting this effort to get the truth out to our people."
Hmmm...Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts...I guess that tells me all I need to know about her district to explain how this moonbat gets re-elected.

McKinney's a problem, but the bigger problem is that her constituency is dumb enough to keep sending her back to Congress.
Living in Massachusetts, I can't look down too far on her constituency. Hey, at least our elected officials aren't complete wild-eyed certifiable moonbats with severe self control issues.
#6
Being a local (not in her district, but right next door), I can tell you it is certifyably LLL Moonbat territory. Of course, the northern part of the County she represents (DeKalb) is upper middle-class, and getting to be a hot area for business to relocate (get the heck out of downtown ATL). The northern part of the County can't stand her, and have a lot of posters about about defeating her. In fact, many speculate that's how she was thrown out a few years back (beat in the Donk primaries by Denisse Majette), because the white repubs "switched" parties to vote her out in the Donk primaries. Of course, Majette got greedy (wanted to run for GA Senator with only 1 2-year term in the House under her belt), so McKinney got back in. Truly, the "exception to the rule" in GA politics, that's for sure. It's a major urban, majority black county a lot of which is dependant on gov't handouts, so read what you will into that.

Oh yeah, GA law allows you to switch parties to vote in "the others" primaries, if you should so choose. Needless to say, McKinney doesn't show her face at all in the northern part of that county.

And there are people on the left who still wonder why racial discrimination refuses to die. I guess the bottom-line question is how many Condis does it take to wipe out the perception among everyone else that the McKinneys of America are the REAL face of black America. More than we've got, I'm afraid. "The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center" indeed...

McKinney is an arrogant fool only outdone by the fools who would vote for her. I agree, rascism is alive and well in the US...but not where the MSM likes to point.
Using its "discretion" to overcome the hurdle of witnesses turning hostile, a trial court on Monday sentenced notorious don Babloo Srivastava and co-accused Nitin Shah to life in prison for masterminding the August 1992 murder of businessman Lalit Suneja over a financial dispute.
Unlike the Jessica Lal case in which the court rejected the statements of hostile witnesses lock, stock and barrel additional sessions judge Rajender Kumar, in his 37-page judgment, took into account the statements of such witnesses to the extent they were favourable to the prosecution's case.
For establishing the accuseds motive and subsequent guilt, the judge relied upon a number of psychologists and their interpretation of human behaviour in specific situations.
Delving into aspects of human behaviour along with the strong circumstantial evidence against the duo in particular Srivastava's criminal antecedents the court remarked, "Lalit Suneja had apprehended danger to his life.
The accused were alleged to have threatened him. Considering the basic instincts and behaviour of a human being in particular circumstances, in my opinion an ordinary prudent person could have presumed only the assertion that both the accused were responsible in the killing of Suneja."
The sentence was awarded under section 302 (murder) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC and the duo was also slapped with a fine of Rs 20,000 each.
A strong circumstantial evidence which went against the accused was the record of their meeting with Suneja in a city hotel, recovered from the entry register of the hotel. The accused met Suneja to pressure him for a compromise on the financial dispute he had with Shah.

Links to the Indian RAW, IB and the Pakistani ISI
Babloo Srivastava was first allegedly used by Indian sensitive agencies in the murder of Mirza Dilshad Beg who was a Dawood-ISI front man in Nepal. Sources say that Babloos henchmen Ravi and Vikki had killed Beg, an MP in the Nepalese Parliament, on June 29, 1995 when two unknown assailants fired at him.
Initially, Babloo was very close to Beg, and Beg even had managed a fake passport for him to go abroad to avoid arrest by the Indians. But after the 1992 Bombay Bomb Blast, patriotism and nationalism prevailed, and Babloo and Chota Rajan parted ways from Dawood and his gang.

Rajans right hand man Babloo Srivastava is also being used by sensitive agencies whenever his services are needed. At present Babloo is in the Lucknow jail but he is enjoying the full five-star facilities inside, courtesy the security agencies. He still manages his kidnapping business with Rajans help.
Babloo Srivastava is providing information about Dawood to the sensitive agencies who used this info during the Secretary level talks between India and Pakistan. In fact, this is all being done at the instance of Indian sensitive agencies to put pressure on Pakistan to hand over Dawood to India or abandon him to be killed by the goons of Chota Rajan-Babloo Srivastava.

MUMBAI: Lying at the ICU of the Sion Hospital, Mohammed Hasseb, 21, is a relieved man today. Doctors on June 26 successfully removed 400 worm cysts from his skull.
A startling number, previously unrecorded in medical corridors, say doctors. Faizabad-based Hasseb, a barber, came to Mumbai on June 15 after he failed to afford treatment there.
"I had severe headaches since December and my vision started blurring. However, my treatment got delayed because we could not afford Rs 40,000 the local hospitals were demanding,' recalls Hasseb.
"There were over 400 large, medium and small cysts within the skull which were attached to a vascular structure of the brain called the superior saggital sinus,' says Dr Alok Sharma, head of neurosurgery department at the hospital who operated upon Hasseb.
The lesion of multiple hydatid cysts lodged in his skull, which measured around 12.3 cm by 11.6x8.5 cm in size was formed by tapeworms known as echinococus granulosus.
Hasseb underwent a six-hour-long surgery, in which his skull was cut open and the cysts carefully removed. "Each cyst contains thousands of worms and toxic fluids and had to be extracted without rupturing them.
If the fluid leaks out into the brain it could cause severe reactions or form more cysts finally killing the patient,' explained Dr Sharma.
Tapeworm infestation - e granulosus worms as in Hasseb's case or taenia solium, which caused cysticercosis as in tennis ace Leander Paes' case is slowly being recognised as a public health problem in developing countries.
A WHO study showed that 10% of sheep slaughtered in Delhi are infected with T solium parasite. In Mumbai, cysticercosis is more common.
These worms follow a cyclical route. The E granulosus grow in dogs and passes out through feces of infected dogs. Sheep and goats who eat the grass get infected and the infection is passed on to humans.

Dogs get the tapes (both kinds) from fleas, who like to eat the tapeworm eggs. So if your dog likes to catch mice, squirrels, rabbits, all of which tend to have fleas ... or has a case of the fleas ... it's at risk and so are you, a little.
Google "praziquantel". It can be purchased by mail / over the counter now (used to be prescription only). $15 or so for 5 tabs, # tabs for a dose is based on the dog's weight. Gets rid of them in the dog for at least a month, longer if s/he's not exposed again.
Droncit = praziquantel + other de-wormers. No need to buy this version unless you don't keep your dog on heartworm meds year round. This is quite adequate. Or Google "tape worm tabs" - but make sure it's praziquantel and not the older style meds that required fasting etc.
#4
Jeez, I don't know which is worse; Is his skull "12.3 cm by 11.6x8.5 cm in size"; is the lesion "12.3 cm by 11.6x8.5 cm in size"; or are the cysts "12.3 cm by 11.6x8.5 cm in size". I HOPE that it was the lesion. I also hate arsenic parasite 'cures'. Rough.

A Border Patrol agent in South Texas is accused of using his law enforcment role to clear the way for drugs and illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. The U.S. attorney's office today announced the arrest of David Duque Junior in a public corruption investigation. Border Patrol spokesman Roy Cervantes says Duque has been suspended indefinitely. If convicted, Duque faces up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
An FBI agent today told a federal magistrate in Houston that Duque allegedly assisted in alien smuggling and illegally provided ID's. An affidavit says Duque on June 14th knowingly helped a vehicle hauling nearly five kilos of cocaine go through the Falfurrias checkpoint -- in exchange for five-thousand dollars.
