| 10-12-03 Anybody was welcome to
party with the Hell's Angels on Sunday, not just those with leather
vests and tattoos. To celebrate the 65th birthday of Hell's Angels
co-founder Sonny Barger, more than 400 bikers took part in a
"poker run" with members of the club along Cave Creek Road
from Phoenix to Cave Creek.
Barger, who has lived in Cave Creek for five years, signed copies of his new book, Dead in Five Heartbeats, published in September. Barger, who has had many run-ins with police over the past decades, helped establish the Hell's Angels in Oakland before moving to Cave Creek. "This is how I make my living," said Barger, as he watched a rock band play at Arlie's Shack in the Back, a small bar behind the Buffalo Chip Saloon. Hell's Angels T-shirts and other memorabilia were on sale at the party. Bob Eberhardt, president of the Cave Creek chapter, said the group of bikers had to be split up leaving the Steel Horse because of the large turnout. Eberhardt said most of the bikers on the run were not official members of Hell's Angels. "A big myth about us is that everyone (on the runs) is in the Hell's Angels," he said. "These are people that support us, that love the lifestyle we live."
New South Wales Bandido Damian McEachern was fined $3000 for possessing weapons while on parole causing the state's top gang investigator to attack the courts for going soft on gun crime McEachern was caught with a large red and black sports bag packed with an SKK Chinese assault rifle, a Savage brand single barrel 12 gauge shot gun, two US M1 carbine rifles and a "home-made style mace". The crime carries a maximum penalty of 14 years' jail. Gangs Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Ken McKay, who had officers in his unit work on the McEachern matter, said there was "no deterrent for firearm offenders". There was also $4000 in cash, which police will return to McEachern. The mace is "a steel ball attached to a steel handle by a solid chain", the court heard. "The bag also contained numerous rounds of bullets and cleaning equipment for fire arms . . ." "The accused claimed ownership of the bag and its contents," facts tendered in court stated.

10-9-03 More than 50 people were arrested in a
provincewide sweep called Project Retire aimed at the Outlaws
motorcycle club on Sept. 25, 2002. Police used wiretaps, surveillance
and a police agent who infiltrated the club to gather evidence.
Preliminary hearings for some were to have started this week but
several agreed to cut deals with the Crown, waive the hearings and
plead guilty to some of their charges. More cases are scheduled for
next week.
All of the cases yesterday went before Ontario Court Justice John Getliffe with joint sentencing submissions. All of yesterdays defendents pleaded guilty to belonging to a criminal organization according to Canadian news orgainizations. Defendents also plead guilty to various offences including possession of a stolen motorcycle, trafficking in cocaine, growing marijuana, aggravated assault, keeping a common bawdy house and weapons charges. Two charges against Andrew Simmons, the
former president of the London chapter, were dropped.
Scientists studying dinosaur bones found on
the African island nation of Madagascar have discovered a dinosaur
who wasn't just an ordinary carnivore—this creature was a
cannibal! Scientists believe that the 65-million-year-old Majungatholus
atopus, a two-legged dinosaur from the Cretaceous period,
sometimes ate others of its own kind. Scientists drew this
conclusion after examining the chewed and gnarled bones belonging to
the Majungatholus. The distinct tooth marks on the bones
perfectly matched the teeth of another Majungatholus skull
found nearby, leading the scientists to conclude that the Majungatholus
not only ate other dinosaurs, but feasted on members of its own
species. Before drawing this conclusion, the scientists examined the
jaws and teeth of other carnivorous dinosaurs living in Madagascar
at the time. "With these other candidates eliminated, Majungatholus
atopus stands accused of cannibalism and is presumed guilty
until proven innocent, which, in my opinion, is unlikely to
happen," said one of the scientists, David Krause. This is the
first genuine evidence that a dinosaur species practiced
cannibalism. According to the journal Nature, the Majungatholus
is hardly the only cannibal in the animal kingdom. Today cannibalism
is practiced by a variety of creatures, ranging from mice to lions.

fulgent
\FULL-jint\ adjective : dazzlingly bright : radiant Example sentence: "If you haven't seen the fall foliage of New England in all its fulgent glory, you are missing something extraordinary." (Colman Andrews, Los Angeles Times, September 13, 1998) Did you know? "The weary Sun betook himself to rest; — / Then issued Vesper from the fulgent west." That's how the appearance of the evening star in the glowing western sky at sunset looked to 19th-century poet William Wordsworth. "Fulgent" was a particularly apt choice to describe the radiant light of the sky at sunset. The word derives from the Latin verb "fulgēre," meaning "to shine," a root which is itself akin to the Latin "flagrare," meaning "to burn." English speakers have been using "fulgent" to depict resplendence since at least the 15th century.
