For instance, you may find it useful to employ your Adams resident to paint your room back to its original color, or to proofread your term paper. I intend to use my time-tax credit to make my Adams resident to walk in circles, alone...

For more than a year, authorities in Belgium and France had been arresting suspected radicals whom they allege have connections to the same network - climaxing in a Dec. 11 raid in Brussels that took 14 people into custody.
