In this photo made on Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013, a pair of young Amish boys play in a sandbox in front of the home of Sam Mullet Sr., in Bergholz, Ohio. Mullet is one of sixteen men and women facing sentencing Friday, Feb. 8, 2013 in beard-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in Ohio. The defendants want leniency so they can return to their homes and farms, to teach their sons a trade and their daughters how to sew, cook and keep house.

A raven, center left, prepares to take off from a rock pile as other types of birds fly around at the Apex Landfill north of Las Vegas Friday, Feb. 2, 2013. Ravens pose a growing problem for ranchers, wildlife managers and two well-known species struggling to survive. The clever and adaptable black bird preys on both the desert tortoise and the sage grouse, the former already protected under the Endangered Species Act, the latter on track to join it. Efforts to save those species could mean death for more ravens. Already, the birds are killed by the thousands in Nevada each year. Some people think far more ravens need to die. Others believe the wholesale murder of them won't accomplish anything - and it might just make things worse. (AP Photo/Las Vegas Review-Journal/John Locherl)
