4. Cockfighting ring
raided in North Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. — More than 70 people have been arrested in a cookfighting ring in central North Carolina to watch a $40,000 tournament so grusome that one of the roosters splattered blood on the investigators' search warrant, authorities said.
5. Study finds teens worldwide smoke less pot
The county's animal control officers took possession of 130 live roosters. The sheriff's office said investigators also seized 73 vehicles, two firearms and cash. They also found cocaine and marijuana at the scene.
CHICAGO — Kids on both sides of the Atlantic are smoking less pot and going out less often at night, a study of 15-year-olds in 30 countries found.
The double declines occurred in the United States, Canada and
mostly European countries from 2002 to 2006.
Reasons for the declines are unclear, but the researchers said drug prevention efforts and technology may have contributed.
Instant messaging, e-mail and cell phones "may have partly replaced face-to-face contacts, leading to fewer social contacts in the evenings," Kunstche said.

DES MOINES, Iowa — A good Samaritan armed with a knife stabbed a dog to death as it was attacking a 77-year-old woman in her front yard, officials said.
Kevin Daub told Omaha, Neb., television station WOWT that he stopped his truck and jumped out when he noticed the bulldog attack. He grew tired while struggling with the dog, so he pulled out his pocketknife and killed it, he said.

Begin Sevier
BY ALICIA BANISTER

When most KU students are still sleeping Saturday morning, Megin Sevier, Laramie, Wyo., graduate student, is busy at work.
Sevier works diligently every
Monday through Saturday as part of Studio 804, one of the studio graduate programs for students in the architecture program.
"it's overall a really good experience," Sevier said. "In most studios it's kind of a competition, but in Studio 804 you are working
time with a husband or getting chores finished around the house.
as a group. Everyone tries to band together, and the work reflects that."
"I have a supportive husband," Sevier said. "We get to see each other for 10 minutes before bed and I try to spend half of Sunday with him. We keep in contact via e-mail."
Studio 804 focuses on designing a sustainable house in Kansas City, Kan., by the KU Medical Center. Although buying brand new materials would be easy, the students focus on being environmentally friendly by making conscious efforts at being green.
"We all keep saying we are 'using the whole buffalo' by reusing this beautiful wood from the Sunflower Ammunitions Building and implementing it into the structure and aesthetics," Sevier said. "We have to minimize waste, recycle and try to buy as locally as possible."
On top of working on this project every day of the week, Sievier tries to balance married life. Working so many hours a day does not leave many hours in the day for quality
Even with so much work to complete, Sevier still finds time to finish everything and help others. Sevier's attitude remains positive through it all, which never goes unnoticed by other students within her studio.
"I've known her for her entire grad school tenure," Frank Lindemann, Topeka graduate student, said. "The key aspect I noticed about her is her willingness to work with others. She's still able to be serious while being social and friendly."
