Fair Gone Bad

The 2015 Four County Marias Fair hosted in Shelby, Montana is not worth the trip. With only three rides and not much else it is sad to see what has become of a once great place to have fun. At one time there were more than a half dozen rides many games and lots of vendors, not to mention all the great food.

Does Planet Nibiru exist? Is Nibiru Approaching?

The new information on Nibiru is more mysterious than its own origins. Not too many people know the true details of Nibiru, and why it exists in our solar system. Let me tell you some basics first about this planet. Planet Nibiru, which was referred by the Sumerians as Planet X, was supposedly the 12th planet in our solar system. The true meaning of planet Nibiru is 'Planet of Crossing'. In the hydrophilic of Sumerians, and Egyptian, they talked about how planet Nibiru had an elliptical orbit than a normal horizontal orbit. The planet took around 750,000 years to come between Mars and Jupiter, and when it did, it created devastation on all the planets during its flyby...

Shanghai crush: Xi Jinping orders new year investigation

China's President Xi Jinping has demanded an investigation into Shanghai's New Year's Eve crush that killed 36 people and injured 47.
The crush happened in Chenyi Square in the Bund district, where huge crowds had gathered for the countdown.

The turnout was much higher than predicted, and Shanghai police said they regretted their failure to intervene in time, state media said.

Police are investigating what sparked the crush.

The government cancelled New Year's Day festivities in Shanghai.

Xi Jinping told Shanghai officials to provide an explanation for Wednesday's fatalities as soon as possible, and to "go all out" in efforts to treat the injured, state media reported.

Mr Xi added that local officials around China should ensure that no repeat of the Shanghai incident could occur elsewhere during the upcoming Lunar New Year festival.

'Fewer police'
The crush began at about 23:35 local time (15:35 GMT) on Wednesday.


Investigations are expected to examine how Shanghai police managed the new year crowds.

Official New Year celebrations had already been canceled at the Bund due to fears of overcrowding, state-run news agency Xinhua said, citing local officials.

However, despite the cancellation, there were "far more" people in the area on Wednesday evening than predicted, with a crowd size similar to the countdown in 2013, it added.

Close to 300,000 people reportedly turned up for New Year's Eve celebrations in the area a year ago.

Shanghai police said that about 700 police officers were located in the area, and 500 were deployed after overcrowding was seen near Chenyi Square, Xinhua reported.

The police expressed regret that they had not managed to "effectively intervene" when the flow of tourists in the area "increased irregularly" at 23:30 (15:30 GMT), the news agency added.

Cai Lixin, a deputy police commander, said in quotes carried by Chinese media that there had been fewer police deployed than for some other events.

"There were no formal events planned yesterday, so we did not arrange for as many police officers as last year's national day," he said.

'People screaming'
The crush centered on a stairway leading to a viewing platform near the waterfront, as people tried to get up and down the steps, state broadcaster CCTV said.

A local resident, identified as Sarah, told AFP news agency "people were screaming... and people [started] jumping off the staircase to get clear."


She added: "There was a quiet, and then people on the stairs fell in a wave."

AirAsia QZ8501: Officials say debris is missing plane

Indonesian officials have confirmed that bodies and debris found in the Java Sea off Borneo are from AirAsia flight QZ8501 that went missing on Sunday, a statement by AirAsia says.
AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes said he was "devastated" by the news.
President Joko Widodo told media he had instructed all search teams to focus on finding the passengers and crew.
The Airbus A320-200, carrying 162 people from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore, disappeared on Sunday.
The head of Indonesia's search operation, Bambang Soelistyo, says three bodies have been retrieved, not 40 as previously stated by naval officials.
The discovery came on the third day of searching. A navy spokesman said rescuers were "very busy now" with the salvage operation.
'End to uncertainty'
The AirAsia statement said the remains were found in the Karimata Strait, south-west of Pangkalan Bun in the Borneo province of Central Kalimantan.
Mr Fernandes said: "I am absolutely devastated."
He told a news conference there could now be an end to uncertainty for everyone involved.
"This is a scar with me for the rest of my life," he said.
"It doesn't change anything. There is at least some closure as opposed to not knowing what's happened and holding out hope."
The AirAsia statement said family members would be assigned care providers and an emergency call centre would be set up for those seeking information.
In a news conference shortly after the discovery was confirmed, President Widodo urged relatives to be strong in facing "this difficult moment".
"I have instructed all the teams to focus on finding the passengers and crew," he said.
The first debris from the plane was spotted earlier on Tuesday. Pictures of debris and bodies were shown on Indonesian TV. Relatives of passengers on the plane watching the pictures were visibly shocked.

They had been hoping for a miracle, but in the end they had to watch the worst possible news.
Relatives of the passengers screamed and wailed as local television networks showed pictures of what was clearly a human body floating in the water.
Grown men put their hands to their faces. At least two people collapsed and were taken out of the room on stretchers.
The mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini, went from one crying relative to another, and at one point walked out with a grieving man, while telling him: "We don't have a choice. Today this happens to you, tomorrow it may happen to me. Nobody knows. So you have to be strong. Our lives belong to God."
It's been a trying and exhausting wait for the more than 100 relatives who have been gathering in that room, but no-one could have been prepared for this ending.

The head of the search operation, Mr Soelistyo, said that a shadow was also spotted under the water, which appeared to be in the shape of a plane.
All resources were now being sent to the area where the debris was found, he said.
Mr Soelistyo added that ships with more sophisticated technology were being deployed to check whether larger parts of the plane were submerged beneath the debris.
AFP journalist Bay Ismoyo, who took some of the first photos of the debris, said he saw "an orange object floating on the waters".
"We saw an unusual object floating. We tried to zoom in and we recognised what looks like a life vest."
At least 30 ships, 15 aircraft and seven helicopters joined the operation when it resumed at 06:00 local time on Tuesday (23:00 GMT Monday).
The operation, led by Indonesia, includes assistance from Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, with other offers of help from South Korea, Thailand, China and France. The US destroyer USS Sampson is on its way to the zone.
On board the plane were 137 adult passengers, 17 children and one infant, along with two pilots and five crew.
Most were Indonesian but the passengers included one UK national, a Malaysian, a Singaporean and three South Koreans.
AirAsia previously had an excellent safety record and there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.

More than a two hour stand-off between a man with a gun and the Toole County Sheriff's Office took place tonight here in Shelby, Montana. Five patrol cars and Shelby's version of a SWAT van were called to the wild game processing plant. The Sheriff's officers turned off there headlights and slowly approached the building starting a block away. They arrived at about 11:20 PM. At 12:10 AM there was a large flash from inside the building. Next at 12:16 AM one of the patrol cars turned on their flashing lights and zipped closer to the back of the building. Two officers that had been hiding behind the hedge of a residence in the freezing 25 degree weather then dashed across the street with their guns pointed before them. Soon more and more of the patrol cars turned on their flashing lights and officers ran to the building. By 2:00 AM most of patrol cars and an Ambulance left the location. One officer was then seen interviewing a person at a house next to the meat plant.
