While the SPCA is offering half-priced adoptions, why not give Gypsy, the one-eyed kitten, a loving home? Gypsy, the one-eyed snuggly kitten, has a condition called microphthalmia which means she was born without her left eye. Missing an eye hasn't affected her in the least, the wee 5-month-old kitten is still a playful little girl who loves to climb and chase. Gypsy had a hard start and was brought into the SPCA when her mother and siblings were found poisoned when she was only 2 weeks old.

The Japanese influence on local food culture goes a lot deeper than hotel chains and restaurant trends on Guam. It can be encountered in virtually every home kitchen, if not tasted on every table. Foodstuffs common to the Land of the Rising Sun such as 'takuan,'pickled daikon radish, and 'rakkyo,' a pickled Asian variety of scallion, are also common where America's day begins. S&B brand curry powder and Kikkoman soy sauce are ubiquitous staples in kitchens on this island as well as that archipelago to the north.

Citing an example, Sanusi claimed that all sports committee chairmen in four states ruled by Perikatan Nasional will no longer chair the respective state-level National Sports Day event, unlike in previous practice.
