Hey guys I apologize for the late edition of the news today. Two out of three of my little ones have acute ear infections and are miserable little buggers.
Some give me a few and I'll get the news pasted in here.

*****'s Beasts Beat It to Arizona
Michael Jackson’s Neverland menagerie is alive and well — and living just a hop, skip and jump from the Grand Canyon!
Voices of the Wild Foundation, a non-profit organization based in remote Page, Ariz.., that provides sanctuary to abandoned exotic animals, has adopted the bulk of *****’s zoo — including four giraffes, nine parrots and three giant pythons.
Two caymans and two anacondas (now living in Oklahoma) from the King of Pop’s pet collection are also set to join the herd in the coming months. (No Bubble the Chimp, though -- he, of course, passed away years ago.)
At the moment, who quietly arrived in Page last summer, the animals are living in temporary quarters. But VWF says it plans to build a spanking-new preserve to house *****'s former brood, as well as other needy creatures like tigers and zebra. The multimillion-dollar, 185-acre Banjoko Wildlife Preserve will feature sprawling habitats, a reptile house, an aviary and a veterinary clinic.
Shortly after his 2006 child-abuse trial, Michael, now 49, left Neverland, his Los Olivos, Calif., estate, eventually defaulting on the property.
Even though the singer apparently kicked the critters out of his life, VWF (which says the animals arrived "in good condition, with no signs of mistreatment") has no hard feelings.
In fact, the foundation is encouraging the fallen idol to visit his former pets in Page anytime he wants.
“It's not that he gave them up because he didn't want animals anymore. It was a financial situation and they were caught in the middle of it,” says preserve manager Marc Chandler, alluding to Michael’s mounting debt woes.
“Michael is welcome to be a part of their lives.”

Cargo Carrier Predicts Sales Will Rise
BLOOMBERG
Volga-Dnepr, the world's largest hauler of oversized cargo for clients ranging from rock stars to armies, predicted on Tuesday that sales would rise to a record on global demand for large shipments.
Revenue from air cargo operations will probably climb 44 percent this year to $1.5 billion, senior vice president Sergei Shlyanik said Tuesday.
Volga-Dnepr is the world leader in outsized shipments, with 56 percent of the market, Shlyanik said. Clients include touring pop stars such as Madonna and Michael Jackson, as well as governments of NATO countries.
Volga-Dnepr may hold an IPO for as much as 30 percent of the company next year to help finance the purchase of airplanes, Shlyanik said.
The company said it planned to start cross-polar cargo flights in the second half of the year between Russia and North America.
