| 88 people busted in cock-fighting event in Anderson County
Each person was charged with being in the presence of a cockfight. And the property owner, Henry Dale Stargel, 38, was issued four tickets for ill treatment of animals, Ms. Griffin said. Everyone was ticketed and released, Ms. Griffin said. Officers set up the surveillance after receiving several complaints from residents last month, Ms. Griffin said. On the scene, they found a make-shift ring and chicken cages near the arena. Deputies buried four dead chickens on the property and about 15 other chickens were given back to Mr. Stargel, Ms. Griffin said. Ms. Griffin said deputies didn't have any choice but to turn the chickens back over to the owner, because there's no where else for the animals to go. “We don't have the resources within the Anderson County infrastructure to seize 15 chickens because we don't have any where to put them," Ms.
Fuel for Karimov's Support
The main goal of Miller's visit to Tashkent today is to conciliate the latest versions of the agreement giving Gazprom the development of the three largest gas deposits in Uzbekistan, Urga, Kuanysh and the Akchalakskoe group, on a product-sharing basis. Gazprom is proposing to increase gas imports from Uzbekistan from the current 5-6 billion cu. m. to 17-18 billion cu. m. per year with the development of the deposits. The negotiations are so important to Gazprom that Miller is discussing the product-sharing agreement with the president of Uzbekistan himself.
Gazprom is already developing deposits in the same region on the Ustyurt Plateau near Kungrad and Shakhpakhty, although the projected capacity there is less than 500,000 cu. m. per year. Total Gazprom investment in the development should reach $1.2 billion.
The long road home
The front door creaks and the roof sags a little, adding to the feeling of being out in the country, which it most definitely is. Taking a look inside, the first thing that is noticeable, besides the obvious recording equipment, are the photos on the walls, many of them familiar and famous faces. Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill, Doc Watson, and the who's who of the Nashville and Grand 'Ol Opry scene. A Google of Parker's name on the internet will turn up Parker's name beside every one of these artists and then some. Parker moved to Nashville with songwriter J.D. Rudd in 1974 after playing locally and regionally with several different bands. Parker ended up as a backup engineer in a recording studio. Then, he got a break. "A drummer couldn't make it one day, and I ended up playing with some musicians that I knew (in the studio)," he said.
TribalCon dancers embrace feminism, punk and piercing
Cue the drums. Grab some swords. Stomp your feet. Decatur is about to be invaded by several hundred belly dancers swaying the weekend away at an event called TribalCon. This year is the fourth Decatur gathering for tribal belly dancers, women whose dancing springs from an amalgam of feminism, a touch of punk, "modern primitive" ideas such as tattooing and body piercing, and a love of combining different ethnic offerings, such as Japanese jewelry and Indian music. .

At the very least, why couldn't it cancel the old ticket and issue her a new one? I called Karina Romero, Amtrak spokeswoman, to find out. She says Amtrak is simply unable to replace lost tickets. "Our tickets are like money," she says. "We can't reprint them like airlines can." When I told her about the "call your parents" comment, she acknowledged that it was inappropriate and said that Karen must have caught the customer service representative on a bad day. Bad day or not, this level of customer service seems a bit lacking to me. Readers, have you had better (or worse) experiences with Amtrak? .
Argentine Mascherano signs new Liverpool deal
He joined Liverpool on loan from fellow Premier League club West Ham United in January 2007 before helping his new team reach the Champions League final in May. Liverpool spokesman Ian Cotton said: "Javier Mascherano came to Liverpool on a fixed term contract under an agreement disclosed to and approved by both the Football Association and Premier League. "His contract has now been extended under the provisions of that agreement... We have no further comment to make," he added in an email to Reuters. "Our overriding thought is we are delighted to have signed a world class player on a long contract," chief executive Rick Parry said on the Web site. Mascherano joined West Ham in a controversial double move with compatriot Carlos Tevez in August 2006 in which they were loaned to the London club by Media Sports Investments (MSI).
