Law enforcement officers are investigating an illegal dog- breeding operation run by inmates at the Pelican Bay State Prison, Advertisement California's most secure state prison. Authorities say that the dog that attacked and killed a college lacrosse coach was raised under the indirect supervision of Dale Bretches and Paul Schneider, both members of the Aryan Brotherhood. The dog belonged to the two attorneys who represented the inmates in a trial for violent crimes. It was also recently revealed that the attorneys are planning to adopt 38-year-old Schneider. The adoption was approved by a Superior Court judge, who said that the attorneys and Schneider have "agreed to assume toward each other the relation of parent and child."

Overburdened Power Lines Add to California's Power Problems

Even if California's power utilities can generate enough power to serve all of their customers, it is a distinct possibility that the state will regardless be threatened with darkness. California's 26,000 miles of electric transmission lines are aging, and citizen protests slow construction of new lines even more. The state plans to increase generation of electricity by 25% but transmission lines by only five percent, putting the existing lines under more strain. Recent blackouts have been caused by the connection between Pacific Gas and Electric's lines to Southern California Edison's. The 90-mile link caused problems all over the state.

British Children's Hospital Found to be Illegally Harvesting Organs

Alder Hey's Children's Hospital in Liverpool, England was recently reported to be illegally harvesting children's organs. Investigators, however, noted that the practice may be common. Although they found evidence specifically pinning pathologist Dick van Velzen to the crime, they also unearthed body parts predating his service at the hospital, indicating that harvesting body parts from children's bodies without parental consent may be common practice. The hospital has admitted that it sold live tissue removed from children during surgical practices to drug produc­ tion companies without parents' consent.

ADVERTISEMENT Ask the Question Marquis Q: Dear Question Marquis: My girlfriend seems distant lately. And I can't get her to take off her sunglasses. I wonder ifshe's seeing someone else. What should I say to her? - Paul in Dallas

A: Ah, mon ami. I think I can help you with this. Your female is probably feeling that you spend more time with the library than with her delicate, sensuous frame. (I am making the assumptions about her, but for your sake, I hope that I am right, you know?) But you are having many of the research papers, correct? So you have two options to send you on the path toward a satisfactory loving scenario.

Option 1. When you are writing the research papers, you can save time by going to questia.com. Listen, this is brand new. You can skip all of the tedious working, because the full text of the books and journal articles is all online. Search for the keywords, highlight the text. Also, you are not going to believe this, but if you want to quote some­ thing, you just click a button and Questia puts it in your paper, footnotes it, and formats the bibliography automatically. And right now you can get two days* of Questia free. So try it. When your girlfriend sees how much better your papers become and how much more time you have for her, she will be looking at you with her naked eyes that seem to say, "Hallo. I like you. Much, much more than I like pate de fois gras," or whatever it is these girls like now. Ask the Question Marquis is Option 2.
