To homeless children sleeping on the street, neon is as comforting as a night-light. Angels love colored light too. After nightfall in downtown Miami, they nibble on the NationsBank building -- always drenched in a green, pink, or golden glow. "They eat light so they can fly," eight-year-old Andre tells the children sitting on the patio of the Salvation Army's emergency shelter on NW 38th Street. Andre explains that the angels hide in the building while they study battle maps. "There's a lot of killing going on in Miami," he says. "You want to fight, want to learn how to live, you got to learn the secret stories." The small group listens intently to these tales told by homeless children in shelters.

Thanks to Calvin for the writeup:
' I'm pleased to report that all charges against the remaining Hastings 7 defendants, have been dropped. Previous to this, 3 had their charges dropped or had them dealt with through diversion (an alternative to traditional sentencing that does not result in a criminal record). One person plead "guilty" and received an absolute discharge. The Hastings 7 are political activists who were brutally assaulted by members of the Vancouver Police Department outside the Waldorf Hotel on Hastings Street, about 2 years ago, and then charged with numerous criminal offences themselves. Injuries sustained included cracked ribs and facial injuries from boots, batons, fists and pepper spray. 5 of the 7 were women, two of whom received the worst beatings.
