Attracting creatures to one's yard can involve more than just putting out food. Offer plants to feed them continually.
Gail Reynolds
For the News-Leader
Mel and Millie Funk enjoy looking out on their side yard in rural Everton to watch the wildlife feeding on the treats the Funks put out for them. "We put out rock salt for the deer, chicken feed for the wild turkeys, black sunflower seeds and finch food for the birds and cracked corn for whoever else comes along," said Mel Funk. .

Who'll make the cut for Shark's second round?
Not so, said Iemma's spokesman yesterday, who added that the boss had no interest in any property in the region. The agent selling the property, called Karl Karl, also denies it has been sold and is still marketing the expansive country retreat, which features a pavilion style main residence with two self-contained guest suites.

Chris Matthews: Defeat Means Troops Still in Iraq--What About WWII?
When will we be able to come home from Iraq, based upon all this popular good news here? (...) MATTHEWS: Because if we can‘t ever come home, we can‘t ever say we won. I understand what Matthews is trying to say, but it isn't that cut and dry. For many reasons, the winning side frequently retains troops in the country where the war was waged—rebuilding, maintaining order, training the defeated and ensuring that others do not invade. Iraq wouldn't be the first country where military forces remain in country after the war is over. Surely Matthews knows that. I wager that Matthews “definition of defeat" is a little different than most military historians'. Requiring American troops to leave the battleground country to declare a victory would mean that we didn't win WWII.
TUNE IN THIS WEEKEND: Sarandon and Fiennes star as unlikely duo in ...
The very title “Bernard and Doris" (8 p.m., Saturday, HBO) suggests a quiet domesticity, a tale of homebodies who have grown accustomed to each other's rhy thms and quirks. And that's not entirely wrong. This made-for-TV drama is bas ed on the much-reported story of billionaire heiress Doris Duke (Susan Sarandon) and her butler, Bernard Lafferty (Ralph Fiennes). Lafferty's name figured pro minently in Duke's will, and so me suspect that he slowly kill ed her with drugs as he kept her isolated from the outside wor ld. That tabloid version of events was reflected in the 1999 CBS miniseries “Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke," starring Lauren Bacall as Duke and Richard Chamberlain as a wick ed, cackling Lafferty. Based on fact, fiction and sp ec ulation, “Bernard and Dor is" builds rather slowly and offers an entirely different view.
