MUNICIPAL AUDITOR IN B.C. BY SPRING TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)

The B.C. government has moved to create a local government auditor general, with a $2.6 million annual budget and a dozen staff to be located in Surrey. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong said the target is to have the office up and running by late spring. Its purpose is to do value-for-money audits on spending by municipalities and regional districts, as well as utilities or corporations they control. Announcing the office location in Surrey yesterday, Premier Christy Clark emphasized that the cost will be covered by the B.C. government. There will be “soft costs” for local governments participating in audit programs, but the office will find efficiencies that save them money, she said. Chambers of commerce and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business applauded the announcement. The CFIB tracks municipal spending, and its review of 2010 budgets found inflationadjusted spending is growing nearly four times as fast as population in B.C. “Our members continue to express concern over the unsustainable rate of growth in municipal spending, which has consistently eclipsed both wage and economic growth,” said Bruce Carter, CEO of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce. NDP leader Adrian Dix said yesterday he has no objection to the concept of a local government auditor, but he questions the spending of money now, when court cases are being dismissed due to overload-related delays.

Vancouver police say the city has planned fan events carefully to avoid a riot after the B.C. Lions take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL’s 99th Grey Cup on Sunday.

RIOT REDUX NOT IN THE CARDS: VPD VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)

Vancouver police aren’t expecting a replay of any violence similar to the Stanley Cup riot as thousands of football fans converge on the city for Sunday’s Grey Cup game. Police spokesman Const. Lindsey Houghton said yesterday that for starters, there won’t be any outdoor screens for people to watch the match between the BC Lions and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. A report on the June riot notes the violence resulted

partly from tens of thousands of people watching the action on giant screens installed downtown. The 99th Grey Cup game will be preceded by various indoor and outdoor events. Extra police officers will be stationed at those events, Houghton said. “It’s very important to note that all of the events will be shut down before the game starts on Sunday,” he said. “The Stanley Cup finals was seven games of building up and this is one game on Sunday, at the end of November, not in the middle of June, that will be three hours of hopefully Travis Lulay throwing a lot of touchdown passes to Geroy Simon.” He said that after the football game, police will be directing traffic as about 50,000 fans exit BC Place Stadium to ensure they get home safely.

Pickton | The RCMP say they are reviewing allegations that police could have obtained a search warrant for convicted serial killer Robert Pickton years before they arrested the pig farmer.

JEFF NAGEL (Black Press)

Opponents of B.C.’s regulations that ban the exhibition of many reptiles and other restricted exotic pets are challenging the province in court. Jozef Demcak and his wife Bibiana say they’ve lost income because they are now barred from taking their six pythons on a touring roadshow that was their main business for decades. Demcak claims the shows were educational and the crackdown by the province has rendered the couple virtually homeless. “We lost everything,” the former school teacher said. “All our savings and livelihood. It has been horror upon horror.” The former Richmond residents now live in a trailer at Cinema Zoo in South Surrey, where their snakes and a monitor lizard are kept under permit but can’t be exhibited. The Demcaks says nobody can visit them lest they see the forbidden reptiles. Their challenge of the Controlled Alien Species Regulation – which covers dangerous animals from crocodiles to big cats – is being heard by B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster over

the next two weeks. Mike Hopcraft, an Aldergrove reptile rescuer who supported his now-closed Abbotsford operation with shows and presentations, is backing the Demcaks. They contend the changes were made illegally, with insufﬁcient consultation and without actual legislation. “We’re hoping the whole thing gets overturned,” Hopcraft said.

BC LOCAL NEWS…

B.C. BAN DRIVES EXOTIC PET SHOWMEN SNAKY “We all agree there should be some sort of regulations in place to limit who can get these animals. But when you put a ban on education and rescue, it goes too far.” Only a tiny fraction of exotic pet owners in B.C. have obtained the required permits to keep their restricted or prohibited animals. New imports are banned. “All they’ve done is create a huge underground market,” Hopcraft said.

BLACK PRESS

The top judge of the B.C. Supreme Court has issued a rare warning that the province’s justice system is critically threatened by years of government underfunding. Chief Justice Robert Bauman, in a blunt Nov. 19 speech to B.C. lawyers in Las Vegas, used analogies like “going over the cliff in slow motion” to describe the danger looming from court congestion. “Bring this issue to the attention of our fellow citizens and take whatever steps you can to defend and protect our judicial system,” he urged legal colleagues. “Once our institution is critically wounded it will never be the same again.” Bauman likened court underfunding in B.C. to the forces of erosion, adding it is steadily approaching a “tipping point when that gradual, insidious process

Two suspects have been arrested in connection with a Vancouver Island trailer park murder in July. RCMP say they were led to the pair by evidence left at the scene of the murder in Errington, northwest of Nanaimo. Forty-seven-year-old Douglas Trebble was found dead in his trailer home on July 2. Police have not said how he died, but indicated at the time that they believed the killing was targeted and that a ﬁght had apparently taken place in the trailer.

New concerns are being raised that the planned handover of the existing blue box collection system to private industry may undermine recycling in Metro Vancouver. While industry stewards would have to collect the paper, cardboard and plastic packaging under the new program, critics warn there’s no guarantee they will actually recycle it. Metro Vancouver deputy solid waste manager Dennis Ranahan said the packaging collected could, in theory, be shipped outside the region to be dumped, incinerated or exported overseas.

A 31-year-old Delta man was shot Wednesday morning after a home invasion at a medicinal marijuana grow operation on a rural Mission property on Pilgrim Street.

of incremental damage yields its dramatic ﬁnish – the structure is diminished and collapses.” By next year, the court services budget will have been cut more than 10 per cent since 2008, with overall staff down about 15 per cent. Bauman said there is a limit to the system’s ability to cope with restraint, adding the cutbacks that are yet to come are “cuts to the bone.” Numerous accused criminals, often impaired drivers, have already walked free because of judicial stays of proceeding after the case took too long to go to trial due to court delays. The shortage of provincial court judges – 17 fewer now hear cases than in 2005 – have led to criminal case backlogs so long, he noted, even an accused cocaine trafﬁcker had his case quashed this fall after a 42-month delay.

Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner is leaving politics in January to work at a Vancouver law ﬁrm, rather than serve out his term until the scheduled election in May 2013. Penner has accepted a job as senior counsel at Davis LLP, an international law ﬁrm based in Vancouver. Starting in January he will be dealing with environmental law and renewable energy. There may be at least two byelections at the same time in March, for Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam, where former cabinet minister Iain Black stepped down.

A Ridge Meadows RCMP officer has pleaded guilty to punching a man in the face while executing an arrest. The charge relates to an incident on Feb. 21, 2008. Const. Mike Cardinal was one of several police officers who were called to deal with a complaint about a noisy party at a home in the 12400-block of 228th Street Maple Ridge. Prosecutors said the officers ended up going to the wrong house and Cardinal used excessive force while attempting to take a man into custody.

HIGHER TAXES URGED TO PAY FOR HEALTH CARE HALIFAX (Canadian Press)

Ottawa should expand health care programs by increasing taxes, a coalition of medicare advocates said yesterday as federal, provincial and territorial health ministers prepare to meet in Halifax. Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians said the federal government should commit to a 10-year health transfer plan with the provinces that would see a six per cent increase in funding annually. Barlow also called for health care coverage to be broadened to include pharmacare, continuing care and dental care.

TRUCE CALLED IN CBC DISPUTE AT COMMONS COMMITTEE OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

A truce of sorts has been called in a nasty spat between the CBC and a House of Commons committee. The committee agreed yesterday to return sealed documents to the public broadcaster rather than press ahead with a proposal by Conservative MPs to examine them. The sealed documents are at the heart of legal tussle that pitted the CBC against Canada’s information watchdog, Suzanne Legault.

A government bill introduced last month would end registration of riﬂes and shotguns and permanently delete more than seven million ﬁles on gun ownership.

An Arab League committee has given Syria 24 hours to agree to allow an observer mission into the country or it could face sanctions. Thursday’s threat comes as international pressure mounts on President Bashar Assad to stop the brutal crackdown on an uprising against his regime. The UN says 3,500 people have been killed in the crackdown since March. The Cairo-based Arab League called on Damascus to agree to an observer mission by today. If they refuse, the League will meet Saturday to decide on economic sanctions.

Cuba has announced a new credit system that will offer loans to small-business owners, private farmers and other citizens beginning next month, and established rules for paying independent contractors who do business with the state. Credit will also be available to people looking to purchase building materials, pay for labour associated with home construction, “acquire goods for their personal property or satisfy other needs,” to the government’s Ofﬁcial Gazette said. The primary source of repayment for the loans will be people’s ability to repay based on their “legal personal income.”

Libya’s transitional government has been sworn in before the country’s interim leader, another step along to the oil-rich country’s roadmap to elections next year. The new government read the oath of office yesterday before its leader, AbdelJalil Mustafa. The lineup of relative unknowns will confront daunting challenges, like establishing control over the fractured nation after the ousting of Moammar Gadhafi’s 42-year regime. Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib said the government’s first task is to formulate plans to build state institutions.

The UN human rights chief urged the Maldives yesterday to end the “degrading” practice of ﬂogging women found to have had sex outside marriage. “This practice constitutes one of the most inhumane and degrading forms of violence against women, and should have no place in the legal framework of a democratic country,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay told Parliament. Maldives is a Muslim country of 300,000 people. According to the nation’s laws, 30 lashes are given to women found to have committed adultery.

North Korea threatened yesterday to turn Seoul’s presidential palace into a “sea of fire,” stepping up its rhetoric one day after South Korea conducted largescale military drills near a front-line island attacked by the North last year. On Wednesday, South Korea mobilized aircraft, rocket launchers, artillery guns and naval boats for the first anniversary of the artillery attack on a military garrison and fishing community on Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea. Two marines and two construction workers were killed in the 2010 attack, the first on a civilian area since the Korean War.

Crisis management: unsatisfactory — “There will be no postponement in the election,” said Maj. Gen. Mamdouh Shaheen, one of two members of the ruling military council who spoke at a televised news conference yesterday. “The election will be held on time with all of its three stages on schedule.” The two generals said the throngs in Tahrir do not represent the whole of Egypt and warned of chaos if the council was to immediately step down, language similar to Mubarak’s scare-mongering while trying to cling to power in the face of the 18-day uprising against his rule. The two generals – Shaheen and Maj. Gen. Mukhtar elMalla – also said that parliamentary elections would start on time Monday and that a new PM to replace Essam Sharaf would be picked before the vote.

The election, in which authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko won another term, was criticized by interna- Ales Belyatsky tional observers and sparked a massive protest rally that was violently dispersed by police who arrested some 700 people, including seven of the nine presidential candidates. Belyatsky’s group has since provided legal assistance to those arrested, helped them pay ﬁnes and offered help to their families. The U.S. Embassy in Minsk strongly condemned the verdict and urged Belarus “to release Belyatsky and all political prisoners immediately and unconditionally, remove any barriers to their future participation in public life, and cease its campaign against critics of the government.”

MANAMA, Bahrain (Associated Press)

In a 500-page report detailing widespread abuses in Bahrain’s crackdowns, it’s a brief section on Iran that brought the strongest pushback yesterday in the Gulf kingdom – authorities clinging to their claims that Tehran had a role in the Shiiteled uprising despite the report’s findings. Bahrain suggested it may have classified intelligence of Iranian links to the 10-month-old unrest, though independent investigators said they found nothing to back the allegations. The report’s short reference to Iran touches some of the most powerful Arab Spring narratives among the Gulf ’s Sunni leaders. Accusations about plotting by Shiite giant Iran have been used to justify crushing measures, such as sending Saudiled military forces to reinforce Bahrain’s embattled monarchy. It also reflects the bolder political strategies by Gulf nations to get involved in uprisings elsewhere – such as Saudi’s leaders mediating a possible exit for Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh – while keeping unwavering pressure on suspected Iran-leaning dissent at home. Saudi’s Interior Ministry said at least four people have been killed this week in clashes in the heavily Shiite city of Qatif.

CHICAGO (Associated Press)

The relationship between rock music and professional wrestling has a new partner: Billy Corgan. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman has joined with two wrestling promoter brothers to debut the ﬁrst show of Resistance Pro, an indie wrestling company, today at a Chicago dance club. Corgan describes himself as a childhood wrestling fan who fell away from it, only to rediscover it as an adult hobby before learning about the business. “Our vision is to try to grow talent,” Corgan said. The Chicago-area native ‘SERIOUS will miss Resistance Pro’s opening night, but co-owner and promoter ENDEAVOUR’ Gabe Baron says a second show will be announced at the event. “We have people who are going to work for us who are pretty well known on the indie circuit,” Corgan said. “You have to start somewhere, and part of that is creating a curiosity in the audience.” Resistance Pro’s website boasts pictures of more than two dozen costumed wrestling personalities with names like “The Sheik,” “Danny Dominion” and “Sassy Stephie.” Eventually Resistance Pro’s goal is to expand nationally, but not using Corgan’s celebrity alone. “We have to start in Chicago and build a name for ASSOCIATED PRESS ourselves and build enough of a reputation to take it Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has other places,” Corgan said. “It’s a serious endeavour. started an independent wrestling company.

TODAY’S INSIDE STORIES…

BILLY CORGAN STARTS WRESTLING COMPANY

I want this to succeed strictly on its ideas. If I had to artiﬁcially prime the audience because of my musical life that’s sad. This is going to succeed on its own ideas, not because I jumped the shark.” Corgan’s partners, Gabe and Jacques Baron, saw inspiration and passion in the rock star. “This is a guy who is on the same page as we are as far as how wrestling should be,” Gabe Baron said, describing a show that’s similar to a rock concert. “They’re going to feel the excitement of a rock concert but with the thrill and spectacle of wrestling.”

7 DIRECTOR SAYS MICHELLE WILLIAMS WAS THE ONLY CHOICE TO PLAY MARILYN

TORONTO (Canadian Press)

Director Simon Curtis could imagine only one actress with the right look and acting chops to play the iconic sex symbol Marilyn Monroe in his new ﬁlm. Luckily for him, Michelle Williams was eager to take on the challenging role for My Week With Marilyn, a biopic about a brief chapter in Monroe’s life during the 1950s. “I look at Michelle’s work, all of which I admire, and she just brings such complexity and detail to her performances,” said Curtis. “There was an expectation that there be a resemblance to Marilyn – in all kinds of ways – but for me, a lot of people have looked like Marilyn over the years but very few have embodied the psychology of the character in the way that Michelle does. “I never doubted Michelle, I felt conﬁdent in her from the very start.” The story is based on two memoirs written by Colin Clark, who was an assistant on the set of The Prince and The Showgirl, which starred Monroe and Laurence Olivier, who also directed the movie.

THANKSGIVING PARADE STILL A HIT IN NEW YORK

SIENNA MILLER, J.K. ROWLING SPEAK AT U.K. MEDIA ETHICS INQUIRY LONDON (Associated Press)

Author J.K. Rowling told a U.K. media ethics inquiry yesterday how she felt “under siege” from intrusive journalists, who staked out her house and even went so far as to slip a note into her five-year-old daughter’s school bag. The creator of boy wizard Harry Potter said media interest began shortly after the publication of her first novel in 1997 and soon escalated, with photographers and reporters stationed outside her home. “It feels threatening to have people watching you,” she said. Once, her daughter came home from primary school and Rowling found a letter from a journalist in the child’s backpack. “I felt such a sense of invasion,” Rowling said. “It’s very difficult to say how angry I felt that my fiveyear-old daughter’s school was no longer a place of complete security from journalists.” By the time her younger children were born in 2003 and 2005, Rowling said, the scrutiny was “like being under siege and like

NEW YORK (Associated Press)

A festive mood prevailed yesterday as the annual Thanksgiving parade made its way through the crowded streets of New York under brilliant sunshine. About 3.5 million people were crowding the parade route, sponsor Macy’s said, while an additional 50 million watched from home. A jetpack-wearing monkey and a freakish creation from filmmaker Tim Burton are two of the big new balloons making inaugural appearances. They joined fan favourites like Snoopy and Spider-Man. In all, the parade featured more than 40 balloon creations, 27 floats, 800 clowns and 1,600 cheerleaders. The star power included Mary J. Blige, Cee Lo Green, Avril Lavigne and the Muppets of Sesame Street. Balloon handler Joe Sullivan held one of six nylon lines securing a huge floating pumpkin. He’s been volunteering in the parade for more than 15 years. “When it’s windy it’s a struggle,” he said. “But today is great weather.” The parade got its start in 1924 and included live animals such as camels, goats and elephants. Giant helium balloons replaced them in 1927.

Sienna Miller told a media ethics inquiry yesterday that she often felt scared by the paparazzi.

press interest. Earlier, actress Sienna Miller said she was left paranoid and scared by years of relentless tabloid pursuit that ranged from paparazzi outside her house to the hacking of her mobile phone. Miller said the surveillance, and a stream of personal stories about her in the tabloids, led her to accuse friends and family of leaking information to the media. In fact, her cellphone voice mails had been hacked by Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World tabloid. Miller became a tabloid staple when she dated Jude Law. She said the constant scrutiny left her feeling “very violated and very paranoid and anxious, constantly.” “I felt like I was living in some sort of video game,” she said. “For a number of years I was relentlessly pursued by 10 to 15 men, almost daily,” she said. “Spat at, verbally abused. “I would often ﬁnd myself, at the age of 21, at midnight, running down a dark street on my own with 10 men chasing me. And the fact they had cameras in their hands made that legal.”

INDIA BOOSTS FOREIGN RETAIL INVESTMENT NEW DELHI (Associated Press)

Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabinet decided yesterday to allow more direct foreign investment in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge retail industry, a move that could strengthen the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food supply chain and open India to giant global retailers such as Wal-Mart. The cabinet approved 51 per cent foreign direct investment in multibrand retail and increased the FDI cap in single-brand retail to 100 per cent despite resistance from both allies and opposition parties. India currently allows 51 per cent foreign investment in single-brand retailers and 100 per cent for wholesale operations. Top retailers like Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Tesco and IKEA have long lobbied to free the policy further. Foreign multibrand retailers have Indian partners in wholesale operations now but have no retail presence in the country of 1.2 billion people.

An attempt to overturn Canadian federal rules on cheese ingredients has ended in failure for two major producers after the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top court refused to hear an appeal by Saputo and Kraft. The rules require cheese makers to use more full-fat milk and less of the ingredients typically labelled as milk solids. The companies argued the rules would boost their costs, raise prices for consumers and threaten cheese-making in Canada. The Supreme Court of Canada gave no reason for its deciding against hearing the appeal launched by Montreal-based Saputo and American multinational Kraft.

Well-deserved | B.C. Lions Quarterback Travis Lulay was named the CFL’s outstanding player last night.

LIONS’ DOMINANCE UP FRONT KEY TO GREY CUP VICTORY VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)

Coaches scheme long and hard to achieve it while players spend countless hours in the weight room and practice field preparing to execute it. Controlling the line of scrimmage is one of the most basic premises of football. It’s where a team can impose its will on an opponent and not only dictate the flow of a game but also determine the outcome. The ability to control games on both sides of the ball is a big reason why the B.C. Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers are the CFL’s last two teams standing and will square off in the Grey Cup on Sunday at B.C. Place. But it’s the Lions’ slight superiority on their offensive front, combined with a kicking advantage from veteran Paul McCallum (50-of-53 field goals during the regular season), that will give them just enough of an edge to become only the fourth team in CFL history to win a Grey Cup on home soil. But it won’t be easy because there’s not much separating the two teams, especially on defence where the Bombers and Lions finished the regular season 1-2 in sacks with 55 and 54, respectively. What’s interesting, though, are the different approaches they took to get

there. The Bombers’ defence is all about speed. Defensive end Odell Willis, who tied for the CFL lead with 13 sacks, is a master of getting off the ball so quickly that offensive linemen don’t have time to get their feet set and are left reaching to get to Willis. He not only explodes off the ball, but reaches top speed so quickly that he’s often in the backfield before the quarterback has had time to look downfield, let alone get set to throw. While the Lions’ defensive linemen are quick, their forte is strength and tenacity. Ends Khreem Smith and Keron Williams along with tackles Aaron Hunter and Khalif Mitchell are strong enough to create a huge pass rush on their own but also have the athletic ability to effectively read and react on their feet. The Lions’ X-factor is a terrific offensive line. It allowed a league-low 29 sacks and often gave star quarterback Travis Lulay the time to look for an open receiver. And that’s dangerous with a Lions’ receiving corps that features big-play slotbacks Arland Bruce III and Geroy Simon. Lulay’s mobility also makes the line’s job easier because he has the ability to either run away from the pressure or gain yards.

GREEN BAY DEFEATS DETROIT LIONS 27-15 DETROIT (Associated Press)

The Green Bay Packers are working on a perfect season. The Detroit Lions have THE plenty to work on following a slew of OTHER physical and mental mistakes. Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown LIONS passes and the Packers built a big lead in the third quarter, taking advantage of Ndamukong Suh’s ejection and beating the Detroit Lions 27-15 yesterday. The defending champion Packers are 11-0 for the first time in franchise history and have won a team-record 17 straight, including the playoffs. Green Bay easily passed what was expected to be one of its toughest tests toward joining the 2007 New England Patriots as the NFL’s only teams to have 16-0 regular seasons. The Lions fell to 7-4 – losing a franchise-record eighth straight U.S. Thanksgiving game – and added to their misery in ugly fashion. Suh was tossed for stepping on Evan Dietrich-Smith’s arm in the third quarter and Matthew Stafford threw three interceptions. The Packers turned Stafford’s interceptions into two TDs and a field goal, going ahead 24-0 late in the third. Detroit finally scored when Keiland Williams ran for a 16-yard TD with 13:11 left and added a two-point conversion pass from Stafford to Titus Young. It also scored a meaningless TD on Stafford’s three-yard pass to Calvin Johnson with 11 seconds left. The Lions kept it close early – in a punt- and penalty-filled first half – then simply couldn’t keep up with Rodgers’ passing attack and failed to stay disciplined.

RAVENS BEAT 49ERS IN HARBAUGH BROTHERS DUEL BALTIMORE (Associated Press)

The Baltimore Ravens sacked Alex Smith nine times and beat the San Francisco 49ers 16-6 last night, giving John Harbaugh an emotional charge in the ﬁrst NFL game featuring brothers as opposing head coaches. The Ravens (8-3) chased, hindered and battered Smith for much of the night despite playing without middle linebacker Ray Lewis, the team’s leading tackler and spiritual leader. Lewis was inactive for a second straight game with a foot injury. The nine sacks tied a franchise record, accomplished twice previously. San Francisco (9-2) had its eight-game winning streak broken under rookie coach Jim Harbaugh. John, 49, and Jim, 47, grew up duelling each other in all sorts of games. Competing this time on a national stage, John got the best of his little brother. Baltimore broke a 6-6 tie with a 76-yard, 16-play drive that last more than 7 1/2 minutes and ended with an eightyard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to tight end Dennis Pitta with 14:56 left. Flacco went 4 for 4 on third down during the drive.

DESPITE UPBEAT TONE, PALESTINIAN RIVALS FAIL TO RESOLVE THEIR DISPUTES sibility toward our people and our cause,” said Abbas. Mashaal said that he and his former rival “opened a new page” in relations. Abbas and Mashaal reached a power-sharing deal in principle in May. That agreement called for the immediate formation of an interim unity government, parliamentary and presidential elections by May 2012 and the eventual merging of rival security forces.

CAIRO, Egypt (Associated Press)

HEARTBROKEN DOG GUARDS OWNER’S GRAVE IN CHINA TORONTO (Torstar)

When his owner died, a heartbroken dog in China refused to leave his side. The golden, ﬂoppy-eared dog disappeared after the death Lao Pan, 68, in the village of Panjiatun in early November. He was discovered a week later guarding his owner’s grave. The loyal dog, who was Pan’s only companion, had stood watch for seven days without food or shelter. Even when a man tried to coax the dog from the grave with a steamed bun, the dog refused to leave, the man told the BBC. The dog ate the bun before running back to the tomb and staying there, the man said. Touched by the dog’s loyalty, villagers have taken to bringing the dog food and water. They even have plans to build a kennel at Pan’s graveside so the dog can continue to mourn his beloved owner. A video of the dog’s story, reported by the BBC, has been viewed more than 400,000 times on YouTube. To see the BBC report, search for “China Grieving Dog Guards the Grave Of Its Dead Owner” at youtube.com.

Rival Palestinian leaders yesterday held their ﬁrst detailed talks on reconciliation since the Islamic militant Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip more than four years ago, declaring they made progress toward sharing power but failing to resolve key issues. Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal talked for two hours in Cairo but did not reach agreement on touchy matters like the composition of an interim unity government and a date for elections. The meeting raised new questions about whether the rivals are serious about sharing power, or just going through the motions. The split, leaving competing governments in the West Bank and Gaza, has complicated peace efforts with Israel. Both leaders described the atmosphere in Thursday’s meeting as positive, suggesting they are ready to embark on a partnership despite the bitter animosity of the past. “What is important to us is that we deal with each other as partners and shoulder the same respon-

The ﬁrst stage, setting up a unity government of technocrats without clear political afﬁliations, ran into trouble immediately after the May deal. Hamas refused to accept Abbas’ candidate for interim prime minister, Salam Fayyad, saying the political independent and West Bank prime minister is too close to the West. It was not clear if Abbas dropped his demand yesterday.
