...carries a maximum sentence of death and a minimum of 10 years in jail. (It's not known if U.S. citizen Mua will face the same charge.) So far, the response from the detained foreigners' governments has been muted. They may be banking on quiet diplomacy to free the trio. But in the long run, unless the international community is willing to speak out against and act on the atrocities committed by the Vientiane regime, these merry Marxists will continue to get away with murder...
...trio of ships will take about seven months to reach Mars (the moon, by contrast, is just a quick three-day hop) and will follow flight plans that are in many respects quite similar. All are traveling to deep basins or other formations on Mars that look as if they were once flooded with water, a key requirement for life. All will also reach the surface in the Rube Goldbergian fashion pioneered by NASA's Mars Pathfinder in the summer of 1997, slowing their fall with a combination of heat shields, parachutes and, in the case of the U.S. landers...

Turns out faeries are not all Tinkerbell types; the genus encompasses goblins, hobgoblins, brownies, trolls, ogres, dwarfs and sprites, some of them...
...Funny, Boy, "shook up the entire Jamaican music scene and gave birth to the form known as reggae," says David Katz, Lee Perry's biographer and author of Solid Foundation: An Oral History of Reggae (Bloomsbury). At Studio One Perry had helped break the Wailers, a Ska-beat vocal trio led by the young Bob Marley, promoting the band's breakthrough single of 1964, Simmer Down. And in 1969 Marley came through Upsetter's doors to record classic cuts such as Small Axe and Duppy Conqueror. Although Marley was to become reggae's greatest export, back then the Wailers weren...
