"Are there psychiatrists who specialize in free will?" Hora asked. Parr paused. "I don't necessarily..probably. I don't know." Hora asked Parr about the notion of taking personal responsibility, and Du Bois again objected, saying, "This is way beyond the scope of her testimony."

Westminster has presented best in show 100 times and a beagle has never won. Uno's victory assured him a place in the final seven tonight at America's No. 1 dog event. Beagles are always among the most popular dogs in the country, yet Uno's handler Aaron Wilkerson was at a loss to explain why they've never done better here.
