Accounts of Drama Teacher’s Arrest Conflict By Saing Soenthrith The Cambodia Daily Well-known drama teacher Saing Sosak, 55, will be charges in court today with confining and beating an anti-drug police officer during a drug raid, Heng Pov, municipal judicial police chief, said Sunday. Accounts differ widely as to what led to Saing's arrest. Saing and his relatives say men dressed in civilian clothing forced their way into his house in Tuol Kok district on Friday without permission, bullying the residents days after an attempt to kill Saing Sosak had put the family on edge. But police say plainclothes officers were chasing suspected drug dealers through Saing's property when they were caught, tied up and severely beaten for no reason. “We didn’t force out way into Saing's house, but there is a small path that runs through his property, and the drug dealers ran down that path into [Saing's] compound,” anti-drug police Chief Uy Saothy said, “Saing Sosak caught my colleague and tied him up [inside the house], hit him on the head until he was nearly unconscious and…detained him there for two hours,” Uy Saothy claimed. But one of Saing Soak’s sons, who asked that his name not be used, said four motorcycles and a truck pulled up in front of the house Friday. Several men forcefully entered the house. “They forced three of my brothers into the bathroom,” the son said. “Another brother ran to tell my father, who was upstairs, that someone was trying to kill him.”
The son said one of the men pointed a gun at Saing and fired twice, but the shots missed and hit the ceiling when Saing pushed the gun away. The family then tied up the man until authorities could take him away, the son said. “These men acted like robbers and kidnappers, because they wore civilian clothes and forced into my father’s house,” he said. While walking down the road last Tuesday, Saing Sosak was shot at three times but not hit, the son said. Saing was brought in for questioning and arrested Saturday.

Ferengi bartender Quark says “Qapla’ to you, too,” after he is divorced by a Klingon woman who married him in a scheme to maintain control of her great house. He got into this mess because one night, Quark and his brother Nog were having a slow night on the promenade; their only customer was a drunken Klingon who asked for more blood wine, but wanted a line of credit. Quark went up to him, intending to tell him that Ferengi don’t offer credit, but the Klingon’s aggressive posture led Quark to change his mind. The Klingon was still offended, drew his knife, and waved it at Quark, but the Klingon was so drunk that he tripped and killed himself with his own dagger LOL. Of course Quark is ever the opportunist, so he told the public and the police that he defeated the Klingon in battle, which created this whole domino effect that ended with him saying Qapla’ to you, too.

So often I am proud of our university, from academic achievement, to student media, to sports. But today I’m not proud. I’m supremely disappointed that our university has suspended an educator based on one student’s spurious claim of religious discrimination. You must see that this is a ploy--a trap set by the student and their family (a lawyer representing January 6 insurrectionists) to become part of the cash-grab that is the conservative media talk-show circuit. This stunt should be treated as such--a juvenile attempt meant to elevate a subpar student to fame and riches, much like subpar swimmer Riley Gaines used their mediocrity to somehow become famous and enriched for their mediocrity in the pool. I’m unbelievably disappointed that the university has humored this bad-faith attempt to weaponize anti-discrimination rules for personal gain, and I strongly urge you to rethink this decision--it’s not hard to see that if you give an inch to these bad-faith actors they will take a mile, and it hurts my heart to see our university sink this low. Please reconsider. Live on University, Ryun Patterson Class of 1996

Congratulations Oklahoma. You proved today that you are a "win at all costs" team today. Had it not been for the pathetic officiating in the game the score would have been reversed. And if John Mateer wins the Heisman it's a fucking disgrace. Fuck you, Oklahoma and fuck you to the game officials.
Arnold, a sophomore, completed 17 of 25 passes for 141 yards in his first career victory as a starting quarterback for the Sooners. Oklahoma coach Brent Venables noted that four of the eight incomplete passes were drops.

National Guard troops can serve in three different capacities. In their default and usual role, State Active Duty (SAD) status, soldiers are exercising state functions at the request of the state government and are generally governed by state law. A second Title 32 status (a reference to that part of the U.S. Code that deals with the National Guard) permits the state National Guard troops to remain subject to state command and control but are used for federal missions authorized by Congress. From the states’ point of view Title 32 deployments are desirable because the personnel and other costs are borne by federal taxpayers. Finally, Title 10 status occurs when state National Guard units are “federalized” by the president of the United States pursuant to one of the statutory authorities for doing so. Once federalized, National Guard troops come under the full command and control of the secretary of defense. In essence, National Guard troops become part of the federal military until and unless they are returned to state status.
• Reality show pitch: The Homeland Security Department is considering taking part in a television program that would have immigrants go through a series of challenges to get American citizenship, officials said on Friday. The challenges would be based on American traditions and customs, said Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the agency, which is reviewing the pitch.
AI results for my made up saying: The saying "stuck like a Sooners at the Cotton Bowl" refers to the Red River Rivalry between the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma, and implies being firmly or persistently linked to something. Sooners are the nickname for the University of Oklahoma's sports teams, and the Cotton Bowl is the stadium where the Red River Rivalry is played. The saying is a play on the persistent and fiercely competitive nature of the rivalry, where both teams are "stuck" to the idea of winning against their opponent, even at the Cotton Bowl.
