Woman charged for unusual crime

Charleen Newman is the first woman to be charged with a very unusual crime:

cleaning her nose on a police officer’s shirt. It all happened after police in West

Virginia were called out to deal with a domestic dispute. Officer Elliot was the first

to arrive. He found a woman outside the house shouting at a man who was in the

kitchen. The man refused to open the door, claiming that he was frightened that

the woman was going to hit him. So, the police arrested Ms. Newman, 36, after

she refused to calm down. However, as they were walking her to the police car,

Ms. Newman allegedly wiped her nose on the back of the police officer’s shirt.

Ms. Newman was charged with battery on a police officer. This crime is defined

as ‘intentionally making physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature

against an officer’. So, now you know.

A) a very unusual crime had happened

B) a couple was having a dispute

The Studio Musicians

Who are the studio musicians? They are people who help create the sound you

quickly (because time is money in the recording studio); he understands quickly

what kind of sound the producer wants; he is flexible (there are different

producers, so he must often adapt his style), and he usually plays several

instruments well (thus, he may play a clarinet on one track and a saxophone on

another for the same record). These are the unknown soldiers of the music

world!

Because they...

A) learn a song in a short time

Fantastic Mr. Fox.

In his first animated film, Wes Anderson proves to be the perfect filmmaker to bring this children’s story
to the screen.

Mr. and Mrs. Fox are a married fox couple who live an idyllic life with their son Ash and their visiting
young nephew Kristofferson. But, after 12 years, the country life proves too much for Mr. Fox’s wild
animal instincts. Soon he slips

back to his sneaky ways as a chicken thief, and in doing so endangers not only his own beloved family,
but the whole animal community. Trapped underground with not enough food to go around, the
animals band together to fight against the evil farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean, who are determined to
capture the

audacious, fantastic Mr. Fox at any cost. Anderson’s film is a superb animated film that is uniquely
entertaining and

enjoyable. The voices of the characters include George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray and Owen
Wilson. Fantastic Mr. Fox will be first screened at the BFI 53rd London Film Festival in the Opening Gala.
