Residents excavate through the mud where they think their bedroom once be.
perhaps there is still a loved one below there. possibly he or she is still alive, though hopes of finding survivors in China's massive mudslides are quick dimming.
The bereavement toll Wednesday soared to 1,117, the state-run Xinhua news organization reported, though restricted residents suppose that number to be upper.
Li Jinming had pulled up in his taxi when he witnessed the hedge of mud and rocks rush through Yueyuan. Rescue teams found the body of his wife but they are still searching for his two sons. He draws a map of his house, and points out where he believes his boys might have been.
Anxiety, grief and the stench of death overwhelmed Zhouqu County in China's northwestern Gansu province, where pouring rains triggered the mudslides Sunday. Emergency teams have rescued 1,243 people but 627 people are missing, xinhua said.

Memories of Amina and sarah killing
On New Year’s celebration 2008, two teenagers Amina and Sarah were shot dead, their bloodied bodies left in a taxi cab. The alleged shooter is their father Yaser.
In fact, Sarah appears to identify her Dad as the murderer in a 9-11 call – her dying words. For more than two years the Fox News Reporting squad has been following this story and the investigate for Yaser, who vanished the night of the murders.
We learned this dark tale began long before the girls were born. Their mother Patricia married the Egyptian-born Said when she was only 15 years old. She says her husband violently abused her during their 20-year marriage.
Over the route of our investigation, Fox News’ Gregg Jarrett made several trips to Texas, taping hours of interviews with investigators, relatives and family friends.
We also obtained never-before-broadcast video of the girls that was secretly shot by their father. In light of what happened to Amina and Sarah, it’s extremely disturbing footage.
If Yaser Said killed his daughters, what was his motive? His American wife Tissy claims he did so because their girls were dating boys that weren’t Muslim.
While friends and family call the murders honor killings, it’s a label the FBI and local police have been hesitant to use.
In fact, 8 months after the deaths of Amina and Sarah the FBI added the words “honor killing” to their wanted poster but days later, removed them.

John The Baptist Remain Was Found In Bulgaria
Archaeologist state in Bulgaria that they have found remains of John the Baptist whereas excavating the site of a 5th century monastery on the Black Sea island of Sveti Ivan.
A reliquary – a container for holy relics – discovered last week under the monastery’s basilica was opened on Sunday and found to have bone fragments of a skull, a hand and a tooth, Bulgaria’s official news agency BTA reported.
Quarry leader Kazimir Popkonstantinov lifted the reliquary’s lid in a ceremony in the coastal town of Sozopol attended by dignitaries including the Bishop of Sliven, Yoanikii, and Bozhidar Dimitrov, a government minister and director of Bulgaria’s National History Museum, BTA said.
Further tests on the fragments are appropriate to be carried out. But Popkonstantinov is convinced the relics belong to John the Baptist because of a Greek inscription on the reliquary referring to June 24, the date when Christians celebrate John the Baptist’s birth, according to the website of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
The reliquary is made of alabaster and dates from approximately the middle of the 5th century, Popkonstantinov told reporters. The southern Black Sea coast was then part of the Byzantine Empire, ruled from Byzantium, now Istanbul in Turkey.
Dimitrov told Focus the relics may once have been donated to the monastery by the Byzantine church. The Topkapi Palace museum in Istanbul is one of numerous sites claiming to house relics purported to be those of John the Baptist.

Reggie Bush Trophy And His Image was take away From USC university grounds
In a letter to school supporters, arriving USC President Max Nikias states that Garrett will be replaced by Pat Haden effective Aug. 3 and the school also will return its copy of Bush's trophy to the Heisman Trust, among more than a few measures to disassociate itself from the Super Bowl winning tailback.
“We're going to do better,” Haden said. “We have to do better. We don't have any choices here. We stub our toe, there's going to be some problems.”
Reggie Bush may have thought that he didn't have to deal with the issues that the University of Southern California has come under fire for but the University has decided to handle the situation for him.
In an effort to clean up the now tarnished image of its athletic department, USC Athletic director Mike Garrett and Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy are the first two items to go.
USC was hit with four years of trial, a two-year bowl ban and severe football scholarship restrictions after the NCAA found serious rules violations in the athletic department, primarily around the football and men's basketball teams. Most involved illegal benefits for Bush and O.J. Mayo, the talented basketball player who spent just one season at USC.
The NCAA cited Garrett's administration for a lack of institutional control while slapping the school with heavy sanctions last month, but Haden believes he can change the culture of a program that has been wildly successful and heavily scrutinized over the past decade.
Angelina Jolie:Act as Super Spy in Salt
Angelina Give her best to the movie”salt” it is very challenging to her.
Salt, a CIA official accused of being a Russian spy, dashes home to grab the supplies she needs to go on the run and hunt for her husband, who's missing. She grabs a backpack hidden in a trunk full of clothes, but while she's there she also sees her scruffy, little terrier, padding about the apartment, nervous because everything is in upheaval. Once she escapes by climbing out the window and slinking from ledge to ledge, high above the sidewalk — barefoot in a pencil skirt, in the winter, no less — she persuades a young girl in a neighboring apartment to let her in.
There, Salt opens the backpack and produces — you guessed it — the aforementioned scruffy, little terrier. (Good thing they didn't have a Great Dane.) And you realize right then and there that anyone who would go to that much trouble to save a dog cannot be a bad person. It's impossible. So from that point on, while there's tension in "Salt," there really is no suspense. Any attempts to confuse us about our heroine's true nature — and there are many — feel like an elaborate sham.
Under the direction of Phillip Noyce, though, at least it's a well-made sham. "Salt" allows Noyce to return to the kind of action thrillers he's made previously, like the Tom Clancy adaptations "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger." It's muscular, gritty and propulsive. (Robert Elswit, an Oscar winner for "There Will Be Blood," is the cinematographer.) It's also totally ludicrous and lacking in even the slightest shred of humanity.
