(AP) ? The search for a Colorado woman missing in a wildfire has been suspended after rescuers found human remains in her burned home.

Jefferson County authorities say they don't know yet whether the remains found Saturday are those of Ann Appel, reported missing since Monday.

If the remains belong to Appel, she would become the third fatality in a wildfire that has scorched about 6 square miles southwest of Denver.

An elderly couple found dead in one of the more than two dozen homes damaged or destroyed by the fire were buried Friday.

Residents of about 180 homes remain evacuated.

Firefighters have contained more than 90 percent of the wildfire, which was apparently sparked by a state controlled burn that sprang to life Monday in strong winds.

Jefferson County has tightened its fire restrictions to temporarily ban anything producing an open flame in unincorporated parts of the county, including federal land.

On Saturday morning, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office used an automated call system to warn residents of about 500 homes that gusty winds and dry conditions mean they could be asked to evacuate at a moment's notice.

On Monday, sheriff's officials alerted people to evacuate via the call system, but authorities have said about 12 percent of the people they intended to notify didn't get a warning. Sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer said some people likely hung up after hearing a pause that precedes the automated message, or their phone lines may have been busy.

He said that can happen in any emergency, but authorities were most concerned that there wasn't any attempt to reach an unknown number of additional people registered to get the telephone alerts.

"We want to get to the bottom of this as much as our citizens do," Techmeyer said Friday.

On Friday, the Colorado State Forest Service released its plan for the controlled burn, showing that planners acknowledged there was a potential for fires to escape and cause a "significant threat" to nearby homes.

However, officials thought it was more likely they'd be able to put out any fire before it got that far, partly because of crews and water on site. Officials who wrote the plan insisted that the forest thinning would help protect those homes from a potential wildfire in the future.

The plan dates from 2006 and covers a series of burns being done in the area for Denver Water.

Under the plan, nearby residents were supposed to get warning letters. The state Forest Service has refused to say if that happened, citing an independent review into the burn. Two residents who lost their homes have said they didn't get the letters.

Gov. John Hickenlooper has suspended prescribed burns on state land, and the U.S. Forest Service has suspended six planned burns in Colorado until the weather improves. Several Colorado counties have enacted fire restrictions.

This March has been unusually dry, but a cold front promised to bring relief late Sunday, National Weather Service meteorologist Lisa Kriederman said.

Health and Fitness Article: Best Treatment for Bulimia

? ? ?Eating is one of our important processes in living our life. It is the way how we provide our body with the nutrition and energy we need to do our daily activities. Even though it is an important process of our life, bad eating habits often times contribute to some big problems for our health. There are several diseases triggered by bad habit in eating. One of the bad eating habits is eating disorder which is known as inappropriate way in eating. One of the most dangerous eating disorders that need to be solved as soon as possible is bulimia or also well known as bulimia nervosa. People with this eating disorder usually consume a big amount of food in a short amount of time. After they have finished eating, they usually try to rid themselves for the food eaten by vomiting and/ or taking laxative, diuretics, or excessive exercise.

? ? Well, it is very important to understand the signs of bulimia because we do not want it happen to someone that we love. One of the best ways to understand it is by accessing internet and search for information about bulimia as much as possible so that we are able to find the best place to find the best bulimia treatment. Remember, this is about eating disorder, it is about habit. We have to make sure that the treatment will be able to accommodate the clients? needs so that they are able to recover from the bulimia problem they have. In addition, because people with bulimia problems are mostly women, the treatments should be the one that makes the women feel comfortable with the treatments so that they are able to adapt well with the treatment processes. It will be very effective for the results of the treatment. Finally, the roles of family must be positive and progressive because the clients really need the support from their family.

Loews Loves Pets?Really ? Responsible Dog ~ It's all about dogs

Golda was a feral cat!

March 30, 2012

Joyce Kesling

?

Alley Cat Allies?announced, ?Yesterday, ?pet-friendly? hotel Loews Portofino Bay in Orlando announced that 23 cats living in a model TNR colony on the property will be ?relocated? to a local animal shelter. The hotel failed to mention that just like all feral cats entering shelters, these cats will likely be killed unless other arrangements can be found for them.?

?Loews Loves Pets?

?Loews has the most pet friendly hotels around, and you?ll realize it from the moment you and your pet check in. All pets receive their own gifts including a pet tag, bowl and a special treat to start their vacation. Owners receive a detailed brochure with information on hotel pet services ? such as our Loews Loves Pets room service menu, local dog walking routes, and area pet services, including veterinarians, pet shops, groomers, and much more. Additional items available for guests with pets include dog and cat beds (different sizes), leashes and collars (different sizes), rawhide bones, catnip, scratch pole, litter boxes and litter, pooper scoopers. We pay special attention to our guest rooms which accommodate pets by conducting extra thorough cleaning. Loews Hotels charge a one-time fee of $25 per stay.?

?Note: Loews Hotels limits the number of pets to two per room and in the hotel overall. Loews Hotels takes all necessary measures to ensure the safety and comfort of all hotel guests and pets.?

?Alley Cat Allies?is the only national advocacy organization dedicated to the protection and humane treatment of cats. An engine for social change, Alley Cat Allies was the first organization to introduce and advocate for humane methods of feral cat care, particularly Trap-Neuter-Return, in the American animal protection community. By establishing and promoting standards of care, our organization has brought humane treatment of cats into the national spotlight, now embraced by major cities and animal protection organizations coast to coast. In 20 short years, we?ve changed America to better understand and respect the lives of cats.?

?Today, more than 260,000 supporters look to Alley Cat Allies for leadership in the movement to protect cats? lives.?We promote progressive policies for cats in communities all over America and we work towards a world that values the lives of all animals. Our two decades of experience in grassroots organizing, hands-on activism, and education has empowered policymakers, veterinarians, nonprofit and volunteer groups, activists, and caregivers nationwide with the tools and knowledge to practice, teach, and advocate for humane care for cats in their own communities. From a headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, Alley Cat Allies? staff of nearly 30 people provides the national voice for cats and the millions of Americans that value cats? lives.?

Alley Cat Allies?says, ?You can improve the lives of outdoor cats with Trap-Neuter-Return, the humane and effective approach for feral cats. To successfully trap, neuter, vaccinate, eartip, and return feral cats, you need a plan. These guidelines for humane trapping from Alley Cat Allies, the organization that helped introduce TNR to the United States, will get you on your way!?

Google reCAPTCHAs now featuring Street View addresses, 221b Baker St. to get even more famous

Image
If you've enjoyed decrypting the often frustratingly skewed (and occasionally humorously juxtaposed) reCAPTCHAs, you might be a bit sad to learn that Google is mixing things up with some rather more boring numerals. The combinations of two words are typically used as part of a registration form to ensure the registrant is, indeed, human. Google is now replacing one of the words in some of its reCAPTCHA forms with photos gleaned from Street View service. Google says it uses these numbers internally to improve the accuracy of Street View and that pulling them into reCAPTCHAs is part of an "experiment" to "determine if using imagery might also be an effective way to further refine our tools for fighting machine and bot-related abuse online."

In other words, Google's bots are already capable of decoding these numbers, which makes this all sound like a bit of a challenge to the rest of the OCR-loving coders in the world. Any takers?

Roseanne Barr tweets Zimmerman address

Kevin Winter / Getty Images

?

By Courtney Garcia, TODAY.com contributor

Apparently Roseanne Barr didn't learn anything from the Twitter misadventures of Spike Lee.

Lee apologized on Wednesday evening and offered to compensate?an elderly Florida couple who had to flee their home after he tweeted their address on March 23, claiming it was that of the parents of George Zimmerman, the man who killed teenager Trayvon Martin.

But according to the Smoking Gun, on Wednesday, Barr tweeted the correct address for Zimmerman's parents, then deleted the tweet, then threatened to tweet it again.

??If Zimmerman isn't arrested I'll rt his address again. maybe go 2 his house myself," Barr tweeted.

Criticism came quickly from the comedian's more than 100,000 followers.

Tweeted rob b, ?Apparently Roseanne Barr is even dumber than Spike Lee, tweeting the correct home address of George [Zimmerman?s] parents.?

In response, Barr wrote on Twitter Friday, ?The 'witchburnings' will continue despite apology?Decent [people] move on, indecent ones like to keep slinging mud [because] they r morally damaged.?

According to the Smoking Gun, the information Barr circulated was correct. However, she later admitted, ?I don't know if the address is accurate or not.?

Oprah Winfrey discussed Martin?s killing Wednesday with Extra TV, deeming the investigation a ?tragedy.?

Winfrey told Extra, "I saw some people on Twitter saying nothing has changed, the same thing's going on. Lots has changed and you know why? Because black people, white people, brown people, yellow people all over this country and all over the world are saying the same thing...It's a tragedy and it's a shame and justice needs to be served."

Winfrey said that she would like to interview Zimmerman about the case. "I would love to talk to him," she told Extra.

Reading: Why Greg Smith Left Goldman Sachs (March, 2012)

Greg Smith has created a significant buzz on Wall Street. When he resigned on March 14th as an executive director at Goldman Sachs, one of the world?s largest investment banks, he decided to publish his resignation letter in the New York Times. Needless to say, he has definitely burned his bridges with his former employer.

?

After 12 years at Goldman Sachs, Smith leaves an environment that he describes as ?toxic? and ?destructive?. He writes:

?

?To put the problem in the simplest terms, the interests of the client continue to be sidelined in the way the firm operates and thinks about making money. Goldman Sachs is one of the world?s largest and most important investment banks and it is too integral to global finance to continue to act this way.

According to Smith, the company?s mission today is to get clients to trade whatever brings the biggest profit to Goldman. Smith writes that he was astounded by ?how little senior management gets a basic truth: If clients don?t trust you they will eventually stop doing business with you. It doesn?t matter how smart you are.? His letter goes on to describe a culture of greed in which colleagues bragged about ripping off clients, whom directors refer to as ?muppets.?

?

Smith calls for a change in the company?s business culture. He hopes his letter ?can be a wake-up call to the board of directors. Make the client the focal point of your business again. Without clients you will not make money. In fact, you will not exist.? [287 words]

ZTE Fury Review

ZTE Fury

Could a device that is only $19.99 on a two-year contract hold any relevance in the Android world in 2012? It seems that lately you can either drop a couple of hundred dollars to get yourself a highly spec'd device or you can take the cheaper route and grab a mid range device, but what do you sacrifice by doing that? ZTE has been trying to become more reputable, they recently also released the ZTE Warp, and now they have brought the ZTE Fury to Sprint.

On paper the device has specs of what we saw in most 2011 devices, so that leaves us wondering -- is the ZTE Fury a year late to the party? Let's hit the break and check out how the device performed as it was put through the paces, and see if it could be enough to make it as your next daily driver.


The Good

For the price the ZTE Fury is a moderately spec'd Android device. The 3.5-inch screen is one that many will enjoy, it allows the device to have a nice small overall feel.

The Bad

Locking into a device like this on contract will ensure to keep you far behind on the Android technology. Camera is pretty bad, and barely even worth using.

Conclusion

If you are in the market for an entry-level device, and having the latest and greatest device isn't a big thing for you this could be a great option. The ZTE Fury is priced at a point to sell, but price shouldn't be everything.

Northern Arizona News ? Pinterest struggling with legal controversy

The popular social media site, Pinterest, is used to browse pictures. (Photo by Kelsey Jordan)

Pinterest, one of the newest social media sites on the Internet, recently changed its terms and privacy conditions after legal experts questioned the possibility of copyright infringement within the expansive picture-sharing database.

The site has gained popularity for its diversity in subjects as well as accessibility. By visiting the homepage, the user can scroll through hundreds of ?pinned? pictures varying from wedding ideas to celebrity quotes to new recipes for fruity cocktails. However, many users tend to pin mindlessly, not understanding the possible legal repercussions.

The newly updated terms and privacy conditions, which go into effect on April 6, explicitly explain how content will be managed and copyright will be handled. In regards to ?re-pinning,? the terms state that, depending on the individual account settings, users can ?display, reproduce, re-pin, modify (e.g., re-format), re-arrange and distribute your User Content on Pinterest for the purposes of operating and providing the Service(s) to you and to our other Users.?

The process of pinning involves re-posting pictures varying from crafts to fashion to inspirational quotes. The user can then create themed pages in which to organize their pins so others Pinterest users may view them as well. However, there is concern that many users are not accurately giving credit to the original creator of the photograph. The U.S. copyright laws define pictures protected under the laws as ?two-dimensional and three dimensional works of fine, graphic, and applied art, photographs, prints and art reproductions, maps, globes, charts, diagrams, models, and technical drawings, including architectural plans.?

According to The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, those who violate copyright law with intent to self-promote or increase financial gain may face anywhere between five to 10 years in prison along with between $500,000 and $1 million in fines. This is also addressed in Pinterest?s ?Pin Etiquette? page, where the five rules listed include: ?Be nice, credit your sources, avoid self-promotion, report objectionable content and tell us how to make Pinterest better.?

Catherine Carroll, a sophomore international hospitality and management major, uses the website for creative ideas, whereas sophomore psychology major, Jordan Recchion, uses Pinterest for its efficiency.

?I like all the funny pictures, and I like that they have different recipes. It?s just another way to share your interests and get ideas for arts and crafts and show how to do fun things with your hair,? Carroll said.

She explained she has little concern for recent illegality charges of one of her most visited sites.

?I always just assumed it was okay. I never really thought about it,? Carroll said. ?It makes sense, but at the same time so many things go through the Internet. If people are getting that upset, they need to set their priorities straight. But for the recipes, if you click on the picture it will bring you to the original website, so shouldn?t that be credit enough??

When asked if he knew each pin was supposed to credit the original source, Recchion responded that he was under the impression the website took care of it.

?Well honestly, I figured it was all under control because it [the picture] usually has a link to the original site and the person who pinned it first. I haven?t heard of any problems yet, so I guess I never even considered they were under speculation,? Recchion said.

Although Pinterest has not been officially charged with any lawsuits, there are many news articles reporting that artists may soon demand creative credit for their work.

Carroll, however, remains loyal to the popular webpage.

?If they?re just saying, ?Oh you could be in trouble,? then I?d probably not listen and just keep using the site,? Carroll said.

The Pinterest Press Team and Copyright Agent could not be reached for comment.

Poo-Powered Rickshaw Unveiled At the Denver Zoo

I've heard that certain types of biofuel vehicles smell like French Fries when they drive past. What does this smell like?

Should it be called a 'Fart-Mobile?'

This might sound kind of strange, but coming from a family with fairly large animals (my grandfather owns several horses, at one time owned cattle, and lives next to a cattlefarm), the odor from animal waste can actually become rather pleasant (as long as it's not fresh and concentrated, at least), particularly when blended in with other traditional barnyard smells: sweet feed, hay, etc. I have gotten to where I actually enjoy the smell of a barn or zoo, as the smells are very similar. So a vehicle driven

Are Some Pet Foods Hazardous for Pets? by ezineArticlesNow.com

For a variety of years my first cat fully cherished to consume the crunchy industrial pet meals, even when I supplemented that with lots of contemporary meat, fish, eggs, and cheese. So, I made a decision to seek out her the healthiest dry cat food on the market that I may find. There was one particular brand from Canada supported by the world?s main holistic veterinarians that had plenty of excessive high quality pure ingredients and preservatives With scrumptious objects like real stylishken, chicken livers and fats, turkey, salmon and whitefish, eggs, alfalfa, kelp, and other contemporary fruits, vegetables, and herbs, this cat food?s ingredients was like a gourmand degustation menu.
At the moment, nonetheless, there were numerous laws requiring certain imported meals to be irradiated upon entry into the country. Regardless that each human and animal food is irradiated, the pet meals are irradiated at levels 5-10x higher than safe human limits. This irradiation procedure ultimately makes the meals poisonous, making it extremely poisonous for cats and different animals to consume. Cats consuming these meals usually develop a number of neurological diseases that are irreversible and particularly usually fatal.
Sadly, my cat?s food plan regime consisted of about forty% of this gourmand dry food. Simply because of this, the irreversible neurological situation soon began to affect my personal cat. Her hind legs began to change into wobbly, it grew to become sophisticated to swallow meals, urinate, and defecate effectively, and her weight declined dramatically. After a when, it was virtually like she was a shell of her former energetic, pleased self. Her veterinarian lastly suggests I euthanize her, quickly after all makes an attempt at remedy failed.
Since then, I have turn out to be further obsessed with ensuring pet owners current their pets with the most natural and balanced weight loss plan regime attainable for his or her pets. While I will especially not often advocate a handful of acceptable industrial food manufacturers, I most often advise my veterinary sufferers to offer their pets real, residence-prepared foods.

Credit cards: The best credit cards for business travellers | The ...

Mar 26th 2012, 15:27 by N.B. | WASHINGTON, D.C.

MANY credit-card companies charge hefty fees for all overseas transactions, so if you travel to foreign countries often it may be wise to have a card that doesn't add 1%, 2% or 3% to every usage. I recently obtained one of these little wonders (a CapitalOne card), but now Portfolio's Joe Brancatelli says that issuers are trying even harder to get business travellers to carry their cards, and "you"?the business traveller?"are who really stands to gain":

[B]anks are currently offering superlative bonuses to take and use their cards. The three banks that dominate the travel-card arena?Chase, American Express, and Citigroup?are not only battling each other, but also competing internally for a larger share of your wallet and a greater percentage of your spending. And they are serving up a battery of compelling enticements: huge "acquisition" bonuses of points and miles; waivers of annual fees, statement credits, airport club privileges, free hotel nights, and much more.

The deals are so good, in fact, that some of the bankers engaged in the marketing war are beginning to wonder if they are trapped in a zero-sum game.

'If I convince a traveller to take my card because of a big bonus, and then the traveller promptly moves their spending to another card when it offers a big bonus, I'm getting crushed,' the chief of a major travel-card portfolio opined last week.

You shouldn't take the whinging of credit-card bosses too seriously?if they stop making money on these offers, they'll change them?but it is true that now is a great time to hunt for new plastic.?A good rewards card can be a great way of making your travels a little easier with elite-level perks, early check-in, and the like. If your company is reimbursing you for your travel expenses, the rewards are that much more exciting, because you're basically getting them for free. (Some companies will even cover the annual fee for your rewards card, or issue a company card and let you use the perks.)?

Mr Brancatelli recommends the Chase Sapphire Preferred card ($95 annual fee waived for the first year; 50,000 bonus miles for spending $3,000 in the first few months); the American Express Platinum card (access to 600 airport lounges worldwide and reimbursement of the entry fee for Global Entry, the US government programme that lets you cut the lines at customs); and the Chase Priority Club Select Visa (free for the first year and great for roadtrippers who don't stay in fancy hotels). Neither the AmEx nor the Chase Sapphire card charges foreign transaction fees. If you use Mint.com (which I've recommended before) to track your personal finances, you get a multi-bank credit-card-offer search function that's worth exploring.

Of course, if you carry a balance (you shouldn't if you can help it), then don't worry about the rewards?just go for a card with a low interest rate. Anyway, Mr Brancatelli has more on this, so click through for the whole story. He also wrote a nice piece last year on airline-specific credit cards, so check that out, too.

FILE - This undated and unlocated frame grab provided Wednesday, March 21, 2012, by French TV station France 2 shows the suspect in the killing of 3 paratroopers, 3 children and a rabbi in recent days, Mohamed Merah. Mohamed Merah grew up in one of the toughest housing projects of Toulouse, with his mother, two brothers and two sisters. At age five, his parents split up _ and he took that hard. He turned to a life of petty crime, landing in prison twice. How the young man described by one top official as a "little failure" went on to carry out France's biggest terror spree since the mid-1990s is provoking anguished questions in one of the West's most-seasoned terrorism-fighting nations.(AP Photo/France 2, File)

(AP) ? A video apparently showing a Muslim gunman's attacks on soldiers and a Jewish school was sent to the Al-Jazeera news network ? but not by him, French police said Tuesday, raising the specter of a possible accomplice.

Al-Jazeera on Tuesday decided not to air a video that seems to have been filmed from the killer's point of view and includes the cries of his victims. The decision came after President Nicolas Sarkozy asked the network not to broadcast it.

While French politicians describe gunman Mohamed Merah as a "lone wolf" terrorist, his brother is behind bars on suspicion of helping in the attacks and police are continuing to look for potential accomplices.

A French official close to the investigation said the video was not sent by Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman who was killed in a shootout Thursday after a 32-hour standoff with police at his apartment building in Toulouse.

Another official said the envelope sent to Al-Jazeera contained a Wednesday postmark from a large postal processing center for the area around Toulouse, meaning it was unclear exactly where it was mailed from. He could not say anything about who may have sent the video.

The first official said a technical analysis had concluded that it was not sent by Merah but did not indicate whether that analysis included fingerprints, DNA, surveillance or other data.

The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.

Merah was in his apartment, surrounded by police, from well before dawn Wednesday until he was killed Thursday morning. Police did not elaborate on why they think he did not put the package into the mail before then.

Prosecutors have said that Merah filmed all of his attacks, which began March 11 with the murder of a French soldier. Before the spree ended, two more soldiers and three Jewish children and a rabbi were killed, while another student and another paratrooper were wounded.

Police said Merah claimed the attacks and had told them he had links to al-Qaida, traveled to Afghanistan and received weapons training in the militant-riddled Pakistani tribal region of Waziristan.

French intelligence officials say they have found no sign of a link between Merah and al-Qaida or other international terrorist networks. Still, investigators say they are open to the possibility of accomplices.

Preliminary charges for complicity in murder and terrorism have been filed against Merah's older brother, Abdelkader, though no evidence has emerged that he took part directly in the shooting.

It was not clear if Abdelkader could have sent the video. Police say they first detained him as they carried out Wednesday's early morning raid.

"What we know is that it (the video) was reassembled. Things were added in. We don't know if the full sequence was in it. But it was not just the video as it was filmed. There was an editing process and additions made," the first official said.

Zied Tarrouche, Al-Jazeera's Paris bureau chief, said the video had clearly been edited, with religious songs and recitations of Quranic verses laid over the footage.

The footage appeared to have been taken from the point of view of the killer, perhaps from a camera hung around his neck, according Tarrouche, who described the video to BFM television station. He said they were a bit shaky but of a high technical quality.

"You can hear gunshots at the moment of the killings. You can hear the voice of this person who has committed these assassinations. You can hear also the cries of the victims, and the voices were distorted," Tarrouche said.

The footage was contained on a USB key sent with a letter to the Paris office of the Qatar-based television company, Tarrouche said. The letter, written in poor French with spelling and grammar errors, claimed the shootings were carried out in the name of al-Qaida. The second official said it was hand written in all capital letters.

The channel said the video was received from an anonymous source on Monday and immediately passed it on to French police.

"In accordance with Al Jazeera's Code of Ethics, given the video does not add any information that is not already in the public domain, its news channels will not be broadcasting any of its contents," the broadcaster said in a statement.

Al-Jazeera said it had received many requests by media to look at the video but it would deny all of them.

That decision came after Sarkozy, other French officials and family members of the victims had asked that it not be broadcast.

Tarrouche said the Paris prosecutor, whose office is leading the investigation, had also called to explain the consequences of disseminating the images. But Tarrouche said the prosecutor said he would not prohibit the channel from "doing its work as journalists."

Al-Jazeera was frequently used early in the Iraq and Afghan wars as a conduit for militants, including Osama bin Laden, to distribute taped statements. As the Iraq war progressed, many of these tapes included gruesome killings and beheadings of Western or foreign hostages, although the station edited out some of the grisliest scenes at the moment of death.

The broadcasts drew outrage, especially from the U.S. government. Over time, most militant groups opted instead for posting such videos on their own websites, where they were not subject to outside editing.

Meanwhile, Merah's father, who was estranged from his son and lives in Algeria, asked why a "strong country" like France killed his son instead of capturing him.

"Why did they kill him? ... They could have used gas, for example to take him like a baby," Mohamed Benalel Merah asked in an interview aired Tuesday by France 24 TV. The father said his son should have been taken alive and judged.

Sarkozy, in the middle of a tough re-election campaign, has announced a raft of new measures aimed at preventing the spread and incubation of radical ideas, including penalizing those who regularly consult websites that promote jihad.

On Tuesday, he said wanted to speed up the process of expelling radicals from France as well as prevent them from ever entering.

"Extremists are playing with our administrative formalities. Our job is to be more efficient," he said. "Preachers who continually target our system can stay where they are. We don't want them on the soil of the French Republic."

Meanwhile, another brother, Abdelghani, told a religious representative that the family wants Mohamed Merah's body to be buried in Algeria.

The funeral home was to make the request Tuesday with the Algerian consulate, and the body would be transferred Thursday if the authorization is granted, Abdallah Zekri, a representative of the Paris Mosque in charge of Toulouse.

Abdelghani Merah initially wanted the body buried in France, but insisted he would not attend any funeral of his younger brother, "who he considers a monster," according to Zekri.

Ultimately the brother gave in to his mother's wishes, Zekri said.
