While Marcellus, with the savage and menacing look he usually wore, spoke these and like words with rising fury in his voice, countenance, and eye, that familiar grief to which a thick succession of perils had habituated the Senate gave way to a new and profounder panic, as they saw the soldiers' hands on their weapons. At the same moment the venerable form of Thrasea rose before their imagination, and some there were who pitied Helvidius too, doomed as he was to suffer for an innocent alliance. "What again," they asked, "was the charge against Agrippinus except his father's sad fate, since he too, though guiltless as his son, fell beneath the cruelty of Tiberius? As for Montanus, a youth without a blemish, author of no libellous poem, he was positively driven out an exile because he had exhibited genius."
And meanwhile Ostorius Sabinus, the accuser of Soranus, entered, and began by speaking of his friendship with Rubellius Plautus and of his proconsulate in Asia which he had, he said, adapted to his own glory rather than to the public welfare, by fostering seditious movements in the various states. These were bygones, but there was a fresh charge involving the daughter in the peril of the father, to the effect that she had lavished money on astrologers. This indeed had really occurred through the filial affection of Servilia (that was the girl's name), who, out of love for her father and the thoughtlessness of youth, had consulted them, only however about the safety of her family, whether Nero could be appeased, and the trial before the Senate have no dreadful result.

Artaxata 992.art.002 LOuis J. Sheehan, Esquire
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
Meantime Tiridates, ashamed of seeming utterly powerless by not interfering with the siege, and afraid that, in attempting to stop it, he would entangle himself and his cavalry on difficult ground, resolved finally to display his forces and either give battle on the first opportunity, or, by a pretended flight, prepare the way for some stratagem. Suddenly, he threw himself on the Roman columns, without however surprising our general, who had formed his army for fighting as well as for marching. On the right and left flanks marched the third and sixth legions, with some picked men of the tenth in the centre; the baggage was secured within the lines, and the rear was guarded by a thousand cavalry, who were ordered to resist any close attack of the enemy, but not to pursue his retreat. On the wings were the foot-archers and the remainder of the cavalry, with a more extended line on the left wing, along the base of some hills, so that should the enemy penetrate the centre, he might be encountered both in front and flank. Tiridates faced us in skirmishing order, but not within missile-range, now threatening attack, now seemingly afraid, with the view of loosening our formation and falling on isolated divisions. Finding that there was no breaking of our ranks from rashness, and that only one cavalry officer advanced too boldly, and that he falling pierced with arrows, confirmed the rest in obedience by the warning, he retired on the approach of darkness.
Corbulo then encamped on the spot, and considered whether he should push on his legions without their baggage to Artaxata and blockade the city, on which, he supposed, Tiridates had fallen back. When his scouts reported that the king had undertaken a long march, and that it was doubtful whether Media or Albania was its destination, he waited for daylight, and then sent on his light-armed troops, which were meanwhile to hover round the walls and begin the attack from a distance. The inhabitants however opened the gates of their own accord, and surrendered themselves and their property to the Romans. This saved their lives; the city was fired, demolished and levelled to the ground, as it could not be held without a strong garrison from the extent of the walls, and we had not sufficient force to be divided between adequately garrisoning it and carrying on the war. If again the place were left untouched and unguarded, no advantage or glory would accrue from its capture. Then too there was a wonderful occurrence, almost a divine interposition. While the whole space outside the town, up to its buildings, was bright with sunlight, the enclosure within the walls was suddenly shrouded in a black cloud, seamed with lightning-flashes, and thus the city was thought to be given up to destruction, as if heaven was wroth against it.

First, there are those who consider the whole passage as spurious. The principal reasons for this view appear to be the following:
* Josephus could not represent Jesus Christ as a simple moralist, and on the other hand he could not emphasize the Messianic prophecies and expectations without offending the Roman susceptibilities;
* the above cited passage from Josephus is said to be unknown to Origen and the earlier patristic writers;
* its very place in the Josephan text is uncertain, since Eusebius (Hist. Eccl., II, vi) must have found it before the notices concerning Pilate, while it now stands after them.
But the spuriousness of the disputed Josephan passage does not imply the historian's ignorance of the facts connected with Jesus Christ. Josephus's report of his own juvenile precocity before the Jewish teachers (Vit., 2) reminds one of the story of Christ's stay in the Temple at the age of twelve; the description of his shipwreck on his journey to Rome (Vit., 3) recalls St. Paul's shipwreck as told in the Acts; finally his arbitrary introduction of a deceit practised by the priests of Isis on a Roman lady, after the chapter containing his supposed allusion to Jesus, shows a disposition to explain away the virgin birth of Jesus and to prepare the falsehoods embodied in the later Jewish writings.

2. Prevention of translation of damaged mRNAs
MRNA can either (i) be incorrectly processed in the nucleus or (ii) be damaged in the cytosol. Because correct translation is critical, cells have several proofreading/correction mechanisms.
First, the recognition process looks for both the poly-a tail and the 5’cap (the absence of either is a clue that the mRNA is broken).
Second, cells have a “nonsense-mediated mRNA decay” system. This system allows the cell to assess that a given mRNA molecule has a stop (nonsense) codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) in the wrong location; this mislocation can occur when an mRNA molecule is spliced incorrectly. The “nonsense-mediated mRNA decay” system expects to see the proper stop codon located within the last exon; if this is not the case, the mRNA molecule is destroyed. The net result of this system means that cells only produce proteins (a.k.a. “full-length proteins”). This system is a God-send for people who have one functional gene and one mutant gene as this systems sees to it that only functional proteins are produced.

http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
The subsequent release of Col. Halt’s real-time tape recording of events confirmed that the peak figure he quoted was simply a random burst, not a steady level. For much of the time scarcely anything was being picked up by the geiger counters – on the tape we hear them describing the readings at the site as “minor clicks”. Confirmation that this was only background radiation comes from the fact that the same levels were recorded over half a mile away from the supposed landing site, after they had crossed two fields beyond the forest (read the transcript here). The highest reading mentioned on the tape is “seven tenths”, i.e. 0.07; the 0.1 figure reported by Halt appears only in his memo and we do not know exactly where that reading was obtained, assuming it was not just a rough value recalled from memory.
Yet, as is clear from Nick Pope’s quotation above, my conclusion has not been universally accepted. Pope’s own researches led him to claim that the radiation levels recorded were 10 times higher than normal, and similar claims have been made by others.

abductees 33.abd.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
A Typical Abduction Event
Introduction
Abductions are complex series of events and procedures directed by the abductors to passive or controlled abductees. In a typical or common abductions, humans are taken out of their normal environment by aliens. The people are rendered passive and cannot resist. They are taken aboard a UFO, their clothes are removed and they are made to lie on a table. A series of physical, mental, and productive procedures are then administered to the subjects. People's physical bodies are probed and examined. Sperm is taken, eggs are harvested.
The aliens perform staring procedures during which they gaze into abductees' eyes at at distance of only an inch or two. These "mindscan" procedures appear to be neurological manipulations which give the aliens the ability to "enter into" peoples' minds.
After the table procedures, abductees report that they are sometimes taken into other rooms where they are required to have skin on skin contact with unusual looking babies. Abductees say that these babies seem to be crosses between humans and aliens. They call them "hybrids." Abductees also see hybrid toddlers, older youth, adolescents, and adults.
Sometimes abductees report that they are required to perform tasks, that they are "tested" in some way. They say that machines are brought in to examine them. They sometimes are required to have a form of sexual intercourse with other humans, and sometimes with adolescent and adult hybrids. They are returned to their normal environment and within seconds, they forget what has just happened to them.
Removal of Clothes
Waiting room where clothes are removed prior to procedures
Clothes are removed from the abductee apparently for three reasons: 1, it facilitates the procedures that the aliens are about to do; 2, it helps prevent the spread of infection and disease to hybrids, and 3, it prevents the stealing of instruments and other artifacts.
The Exam
Aliens approach with instruments for examination procedure.
For years researchers thought that the examination was the reason for an abduction. It allowed them to think of the abduction phenomenon as a "study" or "experiment." In fact, the examination, while taking place during most abductions, is seldom the reason for an abduction. Rather it is usually a preliminary procedure accomplished before the abduction's main purpose.
The examination is bizarre. It usually entails aliens running their fingers over a person's body. What exactly is accomplished by this is unknown. However, recent evidence has suggested that the examination is primarily neurologically based with the beings paying particular attention to the nervous system. Thus, they closely examine the brain, the spine, and other specific neurological sites.
Mindscan
Aliens stare into eyes of abductee to connect to optic nerve in Mindscan procedure.
Mindscan is a staring procedure in which an alien peers directly into an abductee's eyes from a distance of a few inches or less. The abductee cannot close his eyes or avert his own gaze. When asked what is happening in the abductee's mind during this procedure, the abductees report having a variety of emotional states and seeing images. The evidence suggests that the alien is neurologically engaging with the optic nerve and using it as a conduit through the brain and into other neural pathways. The alien can then generate whatever emotion or image that he wants the abductee to experience or see.
Very often Mindscan is linked to egg harvesting. The alien prompts sexual stimulation to a high degree and then at a specific moment begins an internal procedure in which an egg is harvested.
Because of the intensity of the experience abductees often mistakenly report that they and the alien have "merged" into one person, or that the alien wants "to experience what it is like to be human" by this procedure. They have also mistaken Mindscan for having sexual relations with the alien.
Egg and Sperm Harvesting
Mindscan procedure administered while sperm is taken.
It is an unfortunate but constant aspect of the abduction phenomenon that aliens take eggs and sperm from people on a routine basis. For women it involves the introduction of instruments that take either recently matured eggs or invade the ovary for follicles. There is some evidence to suggest that the aliens can accomplish rapid egg maturation and release through Mindscan for harvesting purposes. Harvesting can be accomplished at any age.
For men, sperm is extracted mechanically by a device placed around the genital area. Sometimes these devices are small and portable, other times they are on carts or attached to the wall.
Sometimes abductee women are brought in for sexual relations with men. These are sperm collection procedures and do not reflect any particular interest in sexuality by the aliens.
Fetal Implant and Extraction
From time to time women have more complicated internal procedures. They report that something is being placed in them. Sometimes the aliens will tell them after this procedure, "Now you are pregnant." The next day they do feel pregnant. An Early Pregnancy Test or a trip to their gynecologist confirms this. After about 9-11 weeks, another abduction ensues and the fetus is removed.
Incubatorium
Incubatorium with fetuses in containers of liquid.
At times, women, and men and even children will be brought into a special room in which they see many containers of liquid either in columns or in rows against the wall. Suspended in each container is a fetus. The aliens tell the abductee that one or more of the fetuses is the abductee's. Why the aliens conduct this "viewing" is unknown.
Hybrid Babies
Hybrid baby with enlarged black pupils.
Frequently women are brought into a room filled with babies in special holders. They are required to have skin-on-skin contact with the baby and, if a particular procedure has been performed during the examination phase, they are told to nurse the baby. Abductees describe the babies as looking like a cross between human and alien. They say they are "hybrids." The babies are phlegmatic and do not have the reactions of normal human babies. Often abductees think that the babies are sick. The evidence seems to suggest, however, that this is their normal state. Men and children often have skin-on-skin contact with the babies.
Toddlers and Young Children
Human child plays with hybrid children, watched over by gray alien.
Humans are taken into a special room where they encounter hybrid children age 2 to 10. As the hybrid children grow, their contact with humans becomes more complex. As toddlers they engage in play behavior often helped by the abductee who is required to teach them games to play. They are sometimes seen playing with their specific toys. Human children are required to play with the hybrids as equals and also teach them games.
Hybred Toddler.
Adolescents
Adolescent hybrid female with large black pupils.
When hybrids are adolescent, their roles in the abduction phenomenon expand. They are used as assistants in abduction procedures. They help the aliens and adult hybrids. Some of them have more sophisticated technological devices for their amusement. Others have more contact with humans, sometimes sexual in nature.
Adults
Adult female hybrid holds baby before having human woman feed it.
Adult hybrids have been playing what appears to be an increasingly important role in the abduction phenomenon. They have been described as conducting abduction procedures in the company of aliens. In recent years, abductees have described complete abductions events conducted by hybrids without the supervision of aliens. They have also engaged in sexual relations with hybrids, bypassing the alien egg harvesting and implantation procedures of female abductees.
Personal Projects Hybrids
Abductees report that some hybrids have had on-going, complex, contact with them since they were children. They see the same hybrid many times over the years. The hybrids age at the same pace as the abductees. Their relationship is usually reproductively oriented. Sometimes abductees have very positive feelings toward their Personal Project Hybrid, others have extremely negative feelings about what they consider hybrid abusiveness. Some Personal Project Hybrids are exclusively interested in human life and relations. None of them are interested in human political or institutional aspects of the society.
Neurological Procedures
The neurological basis of many of the procedures listed below is just now being identified. The full meaning of these procedures is not fully understood but they are indicative of the aliens’ ability to control humans’ neurological processes. Aspects of this neurological control can be done without staring (Mindscan) procedures.
Envisioning
Aliens sometimes place images in abductees minds which they then "view" as if they were happening in reality. These visions are often of cataclysmic events -war, atomic explosions, meteorite destruction, earthquakes, and so on. At other times they may see routine scenes of middle class life- picnics, walking in a park, and so on. Although the reason for the content is not fully understood, recent evidence has suggested that the viewing of these scenes has an important neurological function in which the abductee will be asked to perform some activity in the future.
Imaging
Images on a screen train abductee to perform tasks.
Sometimes the characteristic scenes of devastation or mundane life are presented on a screen. Often they are accompanied by staring procedures conducted by the aliens while the abductees observe the screens.
Staging
Abductees will be required to play out a "charade" in which they are made to believe that some pre-arranged events are occurring and they must interact in that scene (which they believe to be real) with aliens or other abductees. This also might be a neurological procedure for future activity.
Testing (training)
Abductees are required to sit at a console and operate an electronic-like device for a specific goal. It might be keeping a dot between lines on a screen, or pressing the "correct" button upon hearing a tone. These are thought to be neurological training procedures for future activity.
Miscellaneous Procedures
There are many other procedures that abductees report. Most appear to be in the service of the aliens’ specific goals for their program. Some of the procedures that abductees report include being trained to “rescue” both humans and aliens. They report being trained in crowd control and pacification. They report learning how to work alongside hybrids doing abduction procedures. They are told that they will know what to do when the time comes.

They sometimes are required to have a form of sexual intercourse with other humans, and sometimes with adolescent and adult hybrids. They are returned to their normal environment and within seconds, they forget what has just happened to them.
Removal of Clothes
Waiting room where clothes are removed prior to procedures
Clothes are removed from the abductee apparently for three reasons: 1, it facilitates the procedures that the aliens are about to do; 2, it helps prevent the spread of infection and disease to hybrids, and 3, it prevents the stealing of instruments and other artifacts.
The Exam
Aliens approach with instruments for examination procedure.
For years researchers thought that the examination was the reason for an abduction. It allowed them to think of the abduction phenomenon as a "study" or "experiment." In fact, the examination, while taking place during most abductions, is seldom the reason for an abduction. Rather it is usually a preliminary procedure accomplished before the abduction's main purpose.
The examination is bizarre. It usually entails aliens running their fingers over a person's body. What exactly is accomplished by this is unknown. However, recent evidence has suggested that the examination is primarily neurologically based with the beings paying particular attention to the nervous system. Thus, they closely examine the brain, the spine, and other specific neurological sites.
Mindscan
Aliens stare into eyes of abductee to connect to optic nerve in Mindscan procedure.
Mindscan is a staring procedure in which an alien peers directly into an abductee's eyes from a distance of a few inches or less. The abductee cannot close his eyes or avert his own gaze. When asked what is happening in the abductee's mind during this procedure, the abductees report having a variety of emotional states and seeing images. The evidence suggests that the alien is neurologically engaging with the optic nerve and using it as a conduit through the brain and into other neural pathways. The alien can then generate whatever emotion or image that he wants the abductee to experience or see.
Very often Mindscan is linked to egg harvesting. The alien prompts sexual stimulation to a high degree and then at a specific moment begins an internal procedure in which an egg is harvested.
Because of the intensity of the experience abductees often mistakenly report that they and the alien have "merged" into one person, or that the alien wants "to experience what it is like to be human" by this procedure. They have also mistaken Mindscan for having sexual relations with the alien.
Egg and Sperm Harvesting
Mindscan procedure administered while sperm is taken.
It is an unfortunate but constant aspect of the abduction phenomenon that aliens take eggs and sperm from people on a routine basis. For women it involves the introduction of instruments that take either recently matured eggs or invade the ovary for follicles. There is some evidence to suggest that the aliens can accomplish rapid egg maturation and release through Mindscan for harvesting purposes. Harvesting can be accomplished at any age.
For men, sperm is extracted mechanically by a device placed around the genital area. Sometimes these devices are small and portable, other times they are on carts or attached to the wall.
Sometimes abductee women are brought in for sexual relations with men. These are sperm collection procedures and do not reflect any particular interest in sexuality by the aliens.
Fetal Implant and Extraction
From time to time women have more complicated internal procedures. They report that something is being placed in them. Sometimes the aliens will tell them after this procedure, "Now you are pregnant." The next day they do feel pregnant. An Early Pregnancy Test or a trip to their gynecologist confirms this. After about 9-11 weeks, another abduction ensues and the fetus is removed.
Incubatorium
Incubatorium with fetuses in containers of liquid.
At times, women, and men and even children will be brought into a special room in which they see many containers of liquid either in columns or in rows against the wall. Suspended in each container is a fetus. The aliens tell the abductee that one or more of the fetuses is the abductee's. Why the aliens conduct this "viewing" is unknown.
Hybrid Babies
Hybrid baby with enlarged black pupils.
Frequently women are brought into a room filled with babies in special holders. They are required to have skin-on-skin contact with the baby and, if a particular procedure has been performed during the examination phase, they are told to nurse the baby. Abductees describe the babies as looking like a cross between human and alien. They say they are "hybrids." The babies are phlegmatic and do not have the reactions of normal human babies. Often abductees think that the babies are sick. The evidence seems to suggest, however, that this is their normal state. Men and children often have skin-on-skin contact with the babies.
Toddlers and Young Children
Human child plays with hybrid children, watched over by gray alien.
Humans are taken into a special room where they encounter hybrid children age 2 to 10. As the hybrid children grow, their contact with humans becomes more complex. As toddlers they engage in play behavior often helped by the abductee who is required to teach them games to play. They are sometimes seen playing with their specific toys. Human children are required to play with the hybrids as equals and also teach them games.
Hybred Toddler.
Adolescents
Adolescent hybrid female with large black pupils.
When hybrids are adolescent, their roles in the abduction phenomenon expand. They are used as assistants in abduction procedures. They help the aliens and adult hybrids. Some of them have more sophisticated technological devices for their amusement. Others have more contact with humans, sometimes sexual in nature.
Adults
Adult female hybrid holds baby before having human woman feed it.
Adult hybrids have been playing what appears to be an increasingly important role in the abduction phenomenon. They have been described as conducting abduction procedures in the company of aliens. In recent years, abductees have described complete abductions events conducted by hybrids without the supervision of aliens. They have also engaged in sexual relations with hybrids, bypassing the alien egg harvesting and implantation procedures of female abductees.
Personal Projects Hybrids
Abductees report that some hybrids have had on-going, complex, contact with them since they were children. They see the same hybrid many times over the years. The hybrids age at the same pace as the abductees. Their relationship is usually reproductively oriented. Sometimes abductees have very positive feelings toward their Personal Project Hybrid, others have extremely negative feelings about what they consider hybrid abusiveness. Some Personal Project Hybrids are exclusively interested in human life and relations. None of them are interested in human political or institutional aspects of the society.
Neurological Procedures
The neurological basis of many of the procedures listed below is just now being identified. The full meaning of these procedures is not fully understood but they are indicative of the aliens’ ability to control humans’ neurological processes. Aspects of this neurological control can be done without staring (Mindscan) procedures.
Envisioning
Aliens sometimes place images in abductees minds which they then "view" as if they were happening in reality. These visions are often of cataclysmic events -war, atomic explosions, meteorite destruction, earthquakes, and so on. At other times they may see routine scenes of middle class life- picnics, walking in a park, and so on. Although the reason for the content is not fully understood, recent evidence has suggested that the viewing of these scenes has an important neurological function in which the abductee will be asked to perform some activity in the future.
Imaging
Images on a screen train abductee to perform tasks.
Sometimes the characteristic scenes of devastation or mundane life are presented on a screen. Often they are accompanied by staring procedures conducted by the aliens while the abductees observe the screens.
Staging
Abductees will be required to play out a "charade" in which they are made to believe that some pre-arranged events are occurring and they must interact in that scene (which they believe to be real) with aliens or other abductees. This also might be a neurological procedure for future activity.
Testing (training)
Abductees are required to sit at a console and operate an electronic-like device for a specific goal. It might be keeping a dot between lines on a screen, or pressing the "correct" button upon hearing a tone. These are thought to be neurological training procedures for future activity.
Miscellaneous Procedures
There are many other procedures that abductees report. Most appear to be in the service of the aliens’ specific goals for their program. Some of the procedures that abductees report include being trained to “rescue” both humans and aliens. They report being trained in crowd control and pacification. They report learning how to work alongside hybrids doing abduction procedures. They are told that they will know what to do when the time comes.

Part 8: Indirect Human-Alien Telepathy
Frequently abductees report that they can “tap into” communication between two or more aliens and between other humans and other aliens. Although it is difficult for them to be precise about everything the aliens say, they generally comprehend the context of the discussions, which often involve mundane exchanges about the best way to go about performing a procedure upon the abductee, the nature of the next procedure to perform, or aspects of the abductee's physiology. Sometimes abductees can be quite specific, detailing what each alien said. Therefore, aliens and humans in proximity to “hear” telepathic communication can receive at least some of it. It is not known if the aliens can "privatize" their communication by "whispering" or by in some way preventing others from hearing their thoughts.
As yet, researchers have found no evidence to suggest that abductees can hear or monitor alien thought processes apart from those specifically employed for communication. They cannot “listen in” on the private mental world of thoughts that the beings might possess. Abductees are unaware of the ideas that lurk behind the aliens' conversations directed at them. Thus, the abductees probably have only limited abilities to “listen” to the aliens' thoughts. But, testimony exists to suggest that the reverse might be true -- aliens can understand what abductees are thinking privately. For example, when one abductee was forced to hold a hybrid baby, she threatened to throw it to the floor. She said, however, that the aliens “knew” she did not mean it. Similarly, when an abductee is worried about another family member abducted with him, the aliens will tell him that the relative will be all right, even though the abductee did not directly address the alien about his fears. When abductees are becoming frightened just before a procedure is administered, the aliens will “sense” the anxiety and take measures to calm him. Abductees appear not to have these abilities and therefore the aliens might well have stronger powers of telepathic communication than abductees possess or they might have less emotional strength to allow the abductees to sense.

Grenier was no priest's son, it turned out, but the offspring of a poor laborer. He'd been hired by several villagers to watch their sheep but had often neglected his duties. Taken before the courts, he continued to state that he could take the form of a wolf, and then told his tale. When he was 10, he insisted, a neighbor had taken him into the woods and introduced him to M. de la Forest, a dark-skinned man who gave them both a salve and a wolf-skin cape. Thereafter, Grenier had found himself able to change into a wolf. He claimed that he'd killed a dog, but initially did not admit to anything worse.
Then under more intense questioning, he admitted to going into a house, grabbing a baby and killing it. He said he consumed it. In another village, he killed and ate pieces from a little girl, and then repeated this in another place. He had done these things, he said, at the command of the "Lord of the Forest," adding that his father often accompanied him, also in the form of a wolf. In addition, he'd seen his stepmother vomit up the paws of a dog and the finger of a child.
Since Grenier's accounts coincided with reports of missing children, his father and stepmother were questioned. They agreed that Jean believed himself to be a wolf, but denied that they had any involvement in his misdeeds. As authorities continued to investigate, they discovered that some children who'd been attacked but had survived bore wounds that were just as Grenier had described. (He had pointed to one girl who'd said she'd been attacked by a large dog and identified her wounds accurately as having been made by his teeth.) One girl claimed to have witnessed his transformation.
Grenier told his story again the next day in the presence of his father, without changing anything, but there was no evidence against the elder Grenier, so his case was dismissed. As for Jean, the court believed him to be an imbecile who was hallucinating, and the judge stated that "the change of shape existed only in the brain of the insane." In that case, because he was not responsible for his acts he could not be punished, so he was sent to perpetual imprisonment in a monastery at Bordeaux. If he attempted to escape, he was warned, he'd be executed.
The monks had quite a time of it. They were to instruct Grenier in the Christian teachings, but he immediately loped around the courtyard on all fours and ate a pile of raw offal. Still, they kept him there and tried to do what they could for him. An official from the court visited him after seven years and learned from Grenier that he still craved the taste of flesh and still entertained visits from his dark master. Only a few months later, at the age of twenty, he died.
Adam Douglas indicates in The Beast Within that this case effectively ended the persecution and trials of supposed werewolves in the French judicial system. But before that, there were numerous sensational incidents involving the so-called loup-garou.

Constanzo's rituals became more elaborate and sadistic after he moved his cult headquarters to Rancho Santa Elena, 20 miles outside Matamoros. There, on May 28, 1988, Constanzo shot drug dealer Hector de la Fuente and a farmer named Moises Castillo, but the sacrifices didn't satisfy him. Back in Mexico City, on July 16, he supervised the torture and dismemberment of Raul Paz Esquivel, a transvestite and former lover of cult member Jorge Montes. The gruesome remains were dumped on a public street, found by children who ran shrieking to summon police.
Mutilation and pain were essential to palo mayombe. Blood and viscera fed the nganga, manipulated with sticks as Constanzo tuned in the spirit world. The demons he served were more likely to smile on a sacrifice that died in agony. "They must die screaming," El Padrino told his flock. As for the point in nearly every sacrifice where Constanzo sodomized his victims, that was simply a fringe benefit of playing god.
On August 10, 1988, in reprisal for an $800,000 drug rip-off, rival narcotics dealers kidnapped Ovidio Hernandez and his 2 -year-old sons. Constanzo's ghoul squad kidnapped a stranger two days later and tortured him to death at Rancho Santa Elena, chanting prayers for the safe release of Hernandez and son. When the hostages were released on August 13, without a peso's ransom changing hands, Constanzo claimed full credit for the triumph. His star was rising, and Constanzo paid little attention to the suicide of his disciple Florentino Ventura in Mexico City on September 17. (Ventura also killed his wife and a friend with the same burst of gunfire.)

One sad example of this ruse involved a vibrant 77-year-old, Lizzie Adams.
She loved dancing with her dance partner, William Catlow — She played Ginger to his Fred. William dropped in to visit Lizzie the day she died.
When he arrived, he found Shipman examining her impressive collection of porcelains and crystal. In the next room, Lizzie lay dying.
Catlow told the court, "I just burst past him...she felt warm. I said, 'I can feel her pulse.'"
Shipman said, "No, that's yours. I will cancel the ambulance."
But telephone records proved Shipman never phoned the ambulance service that day.
In another case, that of Nora Nuttall, her son Anthony told how he had left his mother alone for just 20 minutes. He returned to find Dr. Shipman leaving their house. 'I asked him what was wrong. He said "I have rung an ambulance for her." I ran in and... she looked like she was asleep in the chair. I took her by the hands and shook her, saying, "Mum, Mum..."'
Shortly after, Shipman merely touched her neck and told the son, "I'm sorry, she has gone."
Tales of phone calls the doctor never made continued.
Norah Nuttall's sister went to Shipman's office to examine the dead woman's records — she wanted details of her sister's death.
Annoyed, Shipman addressed his staff: "I knew it would happen, I told you it would happen."
Quickly, he fabricated a story of how Norah had called his office to say she was ill. Shipman then claimed he'd been paged and just happened to be nearby. When telephone records proved him wrong, Shipman quickly fabricated a new story.
But he outdid himself with the tale of the missing blood samples. His reason for visiting his last victim, Kathleen Grundy, was allegedly to collect blood samples for a study on aging. When asked what had happened to them, he initially said they had gone for analysis.

appointment 22.app.8854 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
In the spring of 1862, during the Peninsula Campaign, the Union Army of the Potomac under General George B. McClellan advanced upon Richmond from Fort Monroe, eventually reaching the eastern edges of the Confederate capital along the Chickahominy River. Following the wounding of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston at the Battle of Seven Pines, on June 1, 1862, Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia, his first opportunity to lead an army in the field. Newspaper editorials of the day objected to his appointment due to concerns that Lee would not be aggressive and would wait for the Union army to come to him. Early in the war his men called him "Granny Lee" because of his allegedly timid style of command.[29] After the Seven Days Battles until the end of the war his men called him simply "Marse Robert." He oversaw substantial strengthening of Richmond's defenses during the first three weeks of June and then launched a series of attacks, the Seven Days Battles, against McClellan's forces. Lee's attacks resulted in heavy Confederate casualties and they were marred by clumsy tactical performances by his subordinates, but his aggressive actions unnerved McClellan, who retreated to a point on the James River where Union naval forces were in control. These successes led to a rapid turn-around of public opinion and the newspaper editorials quickly changed their tune on Lee's aggressiveness.
After McClellan's retreat, Lee defeated another Union army at the Second Battle of Bull Run. Within 90 days of taking command, Lee had run McClellan off the Peninsula, defeated Pope at Second Manassas, and the battle lines had moved from 6 miles outside Richmond, to 20 miles outside Washington. Instead of a quick end to the war that the Peninsula Campaign had promised in its early stages, the war would go on for almost another 3 years and claim a half million more lives. He then invaded Maryland, hoping to replenish his supplies and possibly influence the Northern elections to fall in favor of ending the war. McClellan's men recovered a lost order that revealed Lee's plans. McClellan always exaggerated Lee's forces, but now he knew the Confederate army was divided and could be destroyed by an all-out attack at Antietam. Yet McClellan was too slow in moving, not realizing Lee had been informed by a spy that McClellan had the plans. Lee urgently recalled Stonewall Jackson and in the bloodiest day of the war, Lee withstood the Union assaults. He withdrew his battered army back to Virginia while President Abraham Lincoln used the reverse as sufficient pretext to announce the Emancipation Proclamation to put the Confederacy on the diplomatic and moral defensive.
September 1866 Lee mounted on Traveller
Disappointed by McClellan's failure to destroy Lee's army, Lincoln named Ambrose Burnside as commander of the Army of the Potomac. Burnside ordered an attack across the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg. Delays in getting bridges built across the river allowed Lee's army ample time to organize strong defenses, and the attack on December 12, 1862, was a disaster for the Union. Lincoln then named Joseph Hooker commander of the Army of the Potomac. Hooker's advance to attack Lee in May, 1863, near Chancellorsville, Virginia, was defeated by Lee and Stonewall Jackson's daring plan to divide the army and attack Hooker's flank. It was a victory over a larger force, but it also came with a great cost; Jackson, one of Lee's best subordinates, was accidentally wounded by his own troops, and soon after died of pneumonia.
