BISHKEK, December 29 (Itar-Tass) ? Membership of the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus and the Common Economic Space is vitally important for Kyrgyzstan, President Almazbek Atambayev told a news conference on Thursday.
?No matter who says what, I don?t see so far any other way but membership of the Customs Union,? the president stressed. ?We won?t be allowed any longer to earn on re-exports of goods. Already now big problems emerge on the borders with Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Weather we want it or not, but we must join. I have told Dmitry Anatolievich Medvedev that when we join, we want a preference for several years,? the president said, stressing that Russia ?is the main strategic partner of Kyrgyzstan?.
Atambayev believes the country must begin producing goods. ?Speculative activity ? it was the period when we earned our living by that. Market owners had good profits. At the same time, the problems of people living around the Dordoi market (one of the biggest in Central Asia), have stayed in place. All these problems were left to us, the state. The owners gained, while the country has stayed with problems,? the president stated.
?I promise that if I am safe and sound, it will be not Atambayev who will begin turning into a dragon, but Kyrgyzstan will begin turning into an ?Asian dragon? because it is a rich country with resources. I believe that we must turn into a small but strong Asian dragon, and we have everything for that,? the president stated.
Atambayev said stability is ?the main thing? for Kyrgyzstan, but warned about efforts to ?rock? it. ?It is not us who need instability, but those who want to see us weak,? the president stressed.

PHOENIX ? Animal lovers threatened to pull donations to an animal rescue group and the public flooded the agency with scathing comments and calls after a man's cat was euthanized when he couldn't afford its medical care, prompting the Arizona Humane Society to go into damage-control mode Wednesday.
The group has hired a publicist, removed dozens of comments on its Facebook page and directed a team of five volunteers to respond to the overwhelming calls and emails it has received since The Arizona Republic published a weekend story about Daniel Dockery and his 9-month-old cat, Scruffy.
Dockery, a 49-year-old recovering heroin addict, told the Phoenix newspaper that he took Scruffy to a Humane Society center on Dec. 8 because she had a cut from a barbed-wire fence, an injury that he described as non-life-threatening. The agency said it would cost $400 to treat Scruffy, money he didn't have.
The Humane Society cited policy when it declined to accept a credit card over the phone from Dockery's mother in Michigan or to wait for her to wire the money. The staff said if he signed papers surrendering the cat, Scruffy would be treated and put in foster care, he said.
Instead, Scruffy was euthanized several hours later.
Dockery told the Republic that he was devastated.
"Now I've got to think about how I failed that beautiful animal," Dockery said. "I failed her. ... That's so wrong. There was no reason for her not to be treated."
He described the cat as helping him stay off drugs for more than a year, the longest he had ever been clean. He hand-fed the feline before she opened her eyes at 4 days old, giving her fresh tuna and letting her sleep on his pillow.
Stacy Pearson, who was hired by the agency specifically to deal with media questions about the cat, said Dockery's case has led to two changes. The Arizona Humane Society has set up an account, funded through donations, that would cover the costs of emergency treatment of animals whose owners need a day or two to come up with money for payments. And the group is now accepting credit card payments by phone, Pearson said.
Dozens of scathing comments have since inundated the group's Facebook page, with animal lovers demanding to know why the cat was put down. Pearson said angry comments were removed because of their content: One called for the staff to be euthanized, while another said what happened to Scruffy was murder.
Pearson said Scruffy was put down over a number of reasons, including Dockery's lack of immediate funds, a lack of veterinarians to treat her and what Pearson described as a very serious cut on Scruffy from her abdomen to her knee that went to the muscle.
She said the Arizona Humane Society at the time didn't accept credit card payments over the phone because of possible fraud and can't treat pets with only a promise from owners that they can pay the next day. She said staff had every intention of getting Scruffy the help she needed but the number of animals requiring help at the group's second-chance clinic was too much for the resources available.
If Dockery had been able to pay, Scruffy would have been treated at the facility where he brought her, Pearson said.
"There was no malicious intent to take Scruffy away from her father," Pearson said. "Pulling funding is only going to make a problem like this worse."
On Facebook, where only the agency's executive director is allowed to post comments now, Guy Collison wrote that "Scruffy's story is heartbreaking, and underscores the worst-case-scenario of need eclipsing resources available." He said that his agency has always done what's best for animals.
In less than an hour after his statement was posted, more than 100 people responded, with most slamming the agency and some defending it as doing the best it can with available resources.
Pearson said the group told Dockery on Tuesday that when he's ready for another pet, he could come in and pick one out, but he declined, telling them: "No thanks."

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) ? Sam Rivers, an internationally-known jazz musician who played with Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, has died. He was 88.
Monique Rivers Williams says her father died Monday night from pneumonia.
The Oklahoma native was a saxophonist, flutist and composer.
He started his career in Boston, where he performed with Herb Pomeroy's big band in an ensemble that included future music producer Quincy Jones. In 1964, he moved to New York and was hired by Davis. He played with a diverse group of musicians there that included Gillespie, T-Bone Walker and John Lee Hooker.
He moved to Orlando in the early 1990s and regularly played with a group of jazz musicians whose day jobs were at Walt Disney World.
Plans are being made for a public memorial concert.

A Cardozo student spent a year living on the street because "I wasn't satisfied, my life just felt meaningless because I didn't have really any challenges." Noting that Neaderthals probably didn't experience boredom, he quit paying for his apartment and started sleeping on the street.
After moving back indoors for the winter months, "David" told his tale to the Yeshiva University Observer. (He's keeping his identity secret until he gets a job.) The interview, entitled "Homeless By Choice," reads like a primer on maintaining an outwardly bourgeois lifestyle while sleeping on the street. The key was maintaining a membership and four lockers at the New York Health and Racquet Club, he says:
So I have one locker for running clothes and laundry, one for dress shirts, one for dress pants and one for miscellaneous things. And also each locker has a spot for shoes at the top so that's really good.
I had to really reduce the amount of stuff that I had. I had to get rid of everything that's nonessential. I only have, like, five dress shirts, five dress pants, some running clothes that are necessary and then obviously sweatshirts and stuff. Other than clothes I don't really have a lot of stuff, just stuff for shaving and brushing my teeth and books. I have a school locker too, so that helps.
I also have access to my school. Its open until midnight and then opens again at 8 a.m. so I nap there a lot. There's this one room in the library that has couches and I nap there during the day when I have breaks in between classes. At night I try and stay in there as late as possible so I can get the maximum amount of warmth. So I'll leave there at midnight and go find a spot and then NY Health and Racquet club opens at six. So I really only have six hours outside, so its not unbearable.
Asked whether he recommends homelessness for others, David replied in the negative, but did noted that he could do a bang-up job as a "homelessness consultant":
One thing that I definitely see doing being a "homelessness consultant." There are so many people that are getting foreclosed on and have nowhere to go. The fact of the matter is, I would say that maybe 100 dollars a month invest in gym and lockers and equipment, it can be done. I wouldn't recommend it for someone it wasn't a necessity for. But for someone going through hard times, it can be done? Just because you sleep outside for six hours a night doesn't mean that for the rest of the day you can't be shaved showered, in clothes, acting normal and doing normal things.
So, there you have it. The secret to successful homelessness: Having enough discretionary income to afford a gym membership, and maybe college tuition at a school where the library stays open late. Although at that point, you could maybe just move into a flophouse? Depending on the weather, where your tuition is coming from, and how comfortable you find park benches. Personally, I keep a spare memory foam mattress pad in my hobo bindle. Really improves the comfort of rusted-out sidewalk grates. [YU Observer, sleeping man of unknown housing status via Flickr]

Wendy's is making a high-end reentry into Japan with a $16 burger festooned with foie gras and truffles.
The third-largest fast-food chain in the U.S. (potentially soon to supplant Burger King for the No. 2 spot) took a breather from Japan for two years but returned this week to launch a restaurant in a luxury shopping area in Tokyo.
That franchisee developed the luxurious 1,280-yen (about $16.45) sandwich -? the folks at Wendy's corporate offices said they "really don?t have anything to do with it." The goose liver confection won't show up in the U.S. anytime soon -? Wendy's said its most expensive item here is likely a salad or a triple cheeseburger, in the $5-to-$6 range.
Besides, customers in California already have their pick of foie gras sandwiches -- at least before the delicacy is outlawed in the state next year. There's one sandwich for $16 at the Torrance restaurant Buffalo Fire Department, and another -- for $26 -- at RH in West Hollywood.
Wendy's Chief Executive Emil Brolick has said the company will aim to eventually triple its number of foreign restaurants to about 1,000 eateries. Other fast-food giants, including KFC owner Yum Brands, are also looking overseas for growth opportunities.
That's because chains are better able to experiment internationally, according to Nick Setyan, a restaurant industry analyst at Wedbush Securities Inc.
Fast-food chains that are associated with a "get-in, get-out" vibe in the U.S. are considered more high-end and even elite abroad, Setyan said. In many other countries, Pizza Hut is a sit-down casual dining concept and McDonald's is an event destination, he said.
Chains can work their creative magic trying to adapt to cultural preferences among foreign customers, Setyan said. Hence McDonald's Chicken Maharaja Mac in India,? where many residents don't eat beef for religious reasons. KFC sells congee rice porridge in China. Burger King?s recent Russian ads are much more flamboyant than the ingredient-focused equivalents in the U.S.
Fast-food chains are increasingly feeling pressure domestically, especially as a slew of "better burger" fast-casual brands, such as Five Guys and Smashburger, poach customers.
