Five films that will make 2014 the year of the Bible

RELIGION NEWS SERVICE :
January 10, 2014

Diogo Morcaldo (center) portrays Jesus, being baptized by John, played by Daniel Percival, in a scene from “The Bible.”

The Bible narrative has always been one heck of a story. It reads like a mix of action thriller, period drama, romance novel and, in more apocalyptic parts, like pure fantasy. The gripping narrative sections of the text are part of the reason the Bible is the bestselling book of all time.

But in 2014, we'll discover if the good book is as captivating on the modern-day silver screen as it is in print.

This year, big studios such as Sony and Lionsgate are entering the fray by releasing films of, well, biblical proportions. To wit:

“Son ofPictures, April

Though not technically a biblical movie, “Heaven is for Real” will likely riff on popular Bible themes such as heaven, Jesus and salvation. The film is based on the New York Times bestselling book by the same name and stars Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilley and Thomas Haden Church. This story of a little boy's life-after-death experience is not so coincidentally scheduled to release just before Easter.

“Exodus,” 20th Century Fox, December

20th Century Fox has kept a tight lid on Ridley Scott's “Exodus.” All we know is the film is an adaptation of the biblical story of the ancient Israelite people's liberation from Egypt. Christian Bale will star as Moses, and Sigourney Weaver will co-star. Critics won't be able to help comparing it to the 1956 movie “The Ten


first time accused the highest levels of the Iranian government of direct involvement in attacks on US forces, specifically the killing of five American troops in Karbala in January.

The outrage and righteous indignation of Lieberman and others over alleged Iranian “meddling” in Iraq is staggering for its hypocrisy and arrogance. The Bush administration has 160,000 troops inside Iraq waging a criminal neo-colonial war for the domination of the country’s resources. It has endorsed covert operations inside Iran aimed at destabilising the regime and has repeatedly declared that in dealing with Tehran all options are on the table, including the military one.

The amendment was only passed 97-0 after Lieberman agreed to include a proviso that nothing in the measure “shall be construed to authorise or otherwise speak to theuse of armed forces against Iran.” But this purely legalistic caveat will not prevent the Bush administration from taking military action against Iran and could well be exploited to justify a US attack in the name of “self-defence”. In fact, US accusations of Iranian support for Iraqi militias have become increasingly shrill as it has become clear that the UN Security Council is unlikely to authorise the use of military force over a second pretext—Iran’s nuclear programs.

Lieberman, an unapologetic supporter of the Iraq occupation, makes no bones about his stance. In a comment in the Wall Street Journal last Friday, he bluntly accused Iran of waging a “proxy war” against the US not only in Iraq, but also in Afghanistan, Palestine and Lebanon. While calling for diplomatic efforts,


reinforced the military capability of US regional allies. A third aircraft carrier group led by the USS Enterprise is currently heading towards the Middle East—reportedly to replace the existing two.

Whether or not the Bush administration will authorise military strikes on Iran remains unclear. What attitude the US will adopt towards Iran is part of the debate raging in ruling circles, including in the White House, over the catastrophe in Iraq. Lieberman speaks for a considerable layer of the American political establishment that advocates the unrestrained use of US military might to pursue its strategic and economic ambitions. Far from being held back by the Iraqi quagmire, the advocates of “regime change” in Tehran propose to extend the war into a broad regional conflict against Iran and its “proxies”URGENT: Al Okere (A# 073 426 339), who has lived in the U.S. since he was 5 years old, could be deported to a country where his life will be in serious jeopardy.

Al was brought to the U.S. from Nigeria, in 1995, after the assassination of his father. Al's mother immediately filed for asylum but, as a result of the negligence of their former attorney, their request was denied. Deporting Al to the same country is equivalent to a death sentence!

that's a good thing. Zaneta is from Muskegon and is the founder of WINC - For all Woman Veterans. We first met Zaneta when she founded the organization based on helping female Veterans and we helped share her story of her time in the military and how she saw the need for women post service to get the assistance they needed on multiple levels. It's an amazing organization that's gone from Muskegon to a national platform and it was also one of the steps that brought Zaneta to her current post with the State of Michigan working to make sure that our Veterans and their families needs are met. It's a very personal mission for Zantea as she had to navigate a very large and very complex systemon her own at one point, and as her previous career as an attorney advocating for others seeking the same.

She's driven and very conscious of her role in making sure that what's available for those who have earned benefits know what's there. She's also determined to make sure she's listening. Quite often, when people don't know what's not there, and they feel intimidated by seeking help for whatever reason, they tend to seek other means, or just forget what they are looking for. She's currently visiting areas all over the state of Michigan to reach out personally to hear directly what's needed and let people know that the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency is there for them and that what once might be considered an agency too big to


WAVERLY, Va. -- Virginia State Police said three people were killed and eight others suffered minor injuries after a reported tornado hit the town of Waverly in in Sussex County Wednesday afternoon.

Emergency management officials spotted the twister moving along Route 460 and into Waverly.

Crews spotted a church and trailer in the storm. Snapped trees and signs were also spotted.

Troopers began responding to the damage along Route 40 in Waverly around 2:40 p.m.

That's where officials said a 50-year-old man, 26-year-old man and 2-year-old boy were killed when their mobile home was destroyed.

The victims, whose bodies were transported to the Office of the Medical Examiner in Norfolk for positive identification, were found about 300 yards from the mobile home.

Officials said four other structures suffered damage in the town.

“I was atGeneva (AFP) - The survival of a key nuclear arms control treaty was cast further in doubt Tuesday after the US and Russia blamed each other for pushing the agreement to the brink of collapse.

Senior diplomats from both countries met in Geneva amid widespread concern over the fate of the bilateral Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which successfully put an end to a mini-arms race after it was signed in 1987.

US President Donald Trump said in October that his country would pull out of the deal unless Russia stops violating it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to develop nuclear missiles banned under the treaty if it is scrapped.

"The meeting was disappointing as it is clear Russia continues to be in material breach of the Treaty and did not come


prepared to explain how it plans to return to full and verifiable compliance," US Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, Andrea Thompson, said in a statement.

"Our message was clear: Russia must destroy its noncompliant missile system," she said.

Thompson will be in Brussels on Wednesday, where she plans to brief NATO allies on the INF talks.

- US 'fully' to blame -

Russia hosted the negotiations at its mission in Geneva and Moscow's delegation was led by deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov.

Ryabkov said that if the deal is ditched, "responsibility for this fully and completely rests with the American side," according to quotes published by Russian news agencies after the talks.

He added that said the parties had failed to agree on anything and Washington did not appear to berival and noted that American concerns about Russian compliance pre-date the Trump administration.

Washington's top diplomat has accused Russia of shrugging off dozens of warnings from senior US officials over the past five years about the SSC-8.

Ryabkov said Tuesday's talks in Geneva centred on SSC-8 system but that US demands regarding the missile were unacceptable.

The landmark treaty was signed by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev and led to nearly 2,700 short- and medium-range missiles being eliminated.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has described the INF as "arms control at its best" but warned last month that the collapse of the agreement appeared likely.

I will seek solutions to address and mitigate concerns that have arisen from the initial proposal."

The proposal calls for an artificial playing surface to be installed on the school’s current athletic field, which is bordered by Milwaukee Avenue on the southwest, Waveland on the southeast, Lowell Avenue on the east, Kostner Avenue on the northwest and single-family homes to the north. The removal of Waveland, a two-way street with parking on both sides when school is not in session, would allow room for a soccer field that meets Illinois High School Association standards.

Currently Lowell, which is one-way north, can be accessed from Milwaukee


via Waveland. Kostner is one-way southbound.

The sidewalk on the south side of Waveland would remain, and new landscaping would be installed in the non-playing areas of the field. A softball diamond and tennis courts also are being considered for a portions of the field, but the opinions of area residents will be solicited before a design is completed, Schurz principal Daniel Kramer said.

The landscaping would complement the architecture of the school, a city landmark building, and create a larger and more inviting campus atmosphere, Kramer said. The current field, which consists of grass, backstops and portable soccer nets, is "a very small, scrubby little lot" compared to the facilities at similar-sized high schools in the city, he said.

Residents have expressed concern about noise and parking congestion that couldcourts at a park.

Residents would have access to the field when it is not in use by the school, suggestions from residents on amenities, such as a possible playlot for small children, would be considered, Kramer said.

Project officials have had initial talks with the Chicago Park District about taking over ownership and management of the field.

The project is estimated to cost about $1.5 million to $2 million. The Urban School Foundation, a nonprofit agency that was founded a few years ago by a local company, is leading the project.

School system officials have described the project as "a field of dreams, with emphasis on the word ‘dreams,’" but the foundation has done a great job identifying funding sources and lining up corporate sponsors, Kramer said. "Suddenly this thing has

THORNTON, Colo. — Police in Colorado say a 16-year-old boy died after he was hit by a car then beaten by its occupants.

Thornton police spokesman Matt Barnes says a house party spilled into a street about 1:26 a.m. Monday, when the teenager was struck by the car. Barnes says people in the car began beating the boy and others around him.

Barnes says police are trying to determine whether a dispute at the party triggered the beating.

Concert was to celebrate end of ramadan; President declares week of mourning

REUTERS

CONAKRY - At least 34 people, including several children, were killed in a stampede at a beachside rap concert celebrating the end of Ramadan in Guinea's capital Conakry, medical sources said today.

Hundreds of people gathered at the Donka hospital in predominantly Muslim Guinea's capital to visit the injured and identify the dead.

A Reuters reporter saw the bodies of three children among the dead, while witnesses put the number at around 10.

“There are currently 34 bodies in the morgue. The list of injured keeps growing,” a medical source told Reuters, requesting anonymity. “The oldest among them can't be more than 20. There are young girls among them,” he said.

The


senior police source said that Mbaye was called into the station today alongside two other people involved in the event.

In January, six youths were killed on another beach in Conakry when a bridge collapsed during New Year's celebrations. Conakry's beaches are small compared to other regional capitals like Dakar and Freetown and entrances and exits are often narrow.

The stampede came at a time when health workers are stretched by an outbreak of Ebola. The deadly tropical virus was first detected in the poor, mineral-rich West African country in February and has since spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone, killing more than 670 people, according to the World Health Organization.

In a bulletin published on June 6th, the Fray Bartolome de Las Casas Center for Human Rights (CDHFBC in its Spanish acronym, also known as Frayba) expressed concern about the robbery and burglary at Alejandra Padilla Garcia’s home, a member of Semilla Digna, an organization that forms part of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI), as well as being a collaborator of the Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Indigenous Center for Integral Training – Unitierra Chiapas (CIDECI – Unitierra Chiapas).

The events occurred in San Cristobal de Las Casas, on May 28th, 2017 while Alejandra Padilla Garcia was in CIDECI – Unitierra Chiapas, where the General Assembly of the CNI was held for the formation of the Indigenous Council of Government and the election of its spokesperson.

According to


documents from the CDHFBC, “the door of Alejandra’s house was found open, as well as that of her room, from which a laptop with important information about the work she does accompanying organizational processes in communities of Chiapas and other states of the Republic”.

In this context, the CDHFBC underscored that during the last three months, “Alejandra and other members of the CNI and the support team of CIDECI – Unitierra Chiapas have been monitored and monitored and followed by several individuals on board suspicious vehicles.”

The CDHFBC repudiated “these types of actions that undermine the security of human rights defenders, whose objective is to fracture the fabric of solidarity with indigenous and peasant communities, as well as instill fear in people who dedicate their efforts to commitment in favorcondition.

The first organ encountered was the spleen. It was good in color with no obvious lesions and of an appropriate size for a dog his age. The net weight was 1.1lbs. We have removed spleens from Greyhounds with significant spleen issues that weigh from 5lbs to 9+lbs - literally gigantic masses obstructing body function!

Above: The spleen on the top is a healthy spleen. The spleen on the bottom had a cancerous growth attached that was the size of a human head and weighed almost 8 lbs.

The kidneys were normal in size


David Paterson's deepening dilemma

Something's not right about the big mess in which New York Gov. David Paterson (D-N.Y.) finds himself. He made domestic violence a signature issue, expanding who is covered under the state's abuse laws. Yet he stands accused of downplaying the accusations against a senior aide. He swears he didn't abuse his office, "not now, not ever." And yet, the New York Times blares on its front page today that "Paterson is said to have directed calls to accuser." That sound you hear is the governor's loosening grip on power.

The latest revelation is chum in New York's roiled political waters. Some are even trying to say race is playing a part in Paterson's problems. Oh, brother! The best way to stay out of trouble is toa big misunderstanding and that Paterson's reprehensible actions will be explained away. But if state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's fast-moving investigation proves that there was nothing murky about Paterson's involvement, then he'll have to go.

He needs to go - he doesnt have the support of the people. He would not have won the election. Hes done.... and he is going to hurt the Democratic party...but after what they did to Hllary - they need to be kicked in the $@$@ ....

The more and more I read of the transgressions by David Paterson and his staff - the cover-ups, the obstruction of justice, the blatant lies - the more and more I wish Eliot Spitzer would have read “The Democratic Conference Organizational and Structural Report” before putting David Paterson


credibility, so I just don't believe his characterizations anymore. His excuse--that the woman called him--turned out to be completely disingenuous. She was returning his call after he ordered his aide contact the woman! Talk about a lie of omission!

Let me emphasize: I, a New York voter, was until very recently a supported of Paterson's. I thought he had taken unfair hits over necessary and courageous cuts to the budget. But I'm not defending this pretty manifest abuse of power. The very best interpretation is that he had completely lost control of his own administration. But the more realistic interpretation seems to be that he was involved directly in orchestrating the campaign of intimidation and harassment. Either way, he should come clean and resign immediately. He shouldn't force usthe defending champs and
have only 3 losses, but when Southern Miss is by far your best win? Gonzaga gets some computer love, but the WCC
is not helping them and the loss to Portland does not either. Missouri has the ugly loss to Georgia, but
decent wins vs UCLA, NC State and West Virginia make them a difficult 2-loss
team to seed. New Mexico has similar
computer numbers to Gonzaga, but a better win than the Zags (Cincinnati) and no
bad losses.

The 8’s – Connecticut, Michigan, North
Carolina and Kansas State

Connecticut
had a bad trip to the State of Texas, but still has that Florida win to hang
their hat on. Michigan has a rising
profile now that they have started to play well sans Mitch McGary, with good
wins over Florida State and Minnesota.
Right now I am


pegging North Carolina here, as the 5 losses are not
pretty, but the wins over Michigan State, Kentucky and Louisville? are. Kansas State has a nice little run going,
including wins over Gonzaga and Oklahoma State.

The 9’s – Tennessee, UCLA, Virginia and
Illinois

Tennessee
has beaten Xavier, Virginia and Wake Forest for a nice little collection of
wins. UCLA looks the part, but UCSB is
the best win to date. Virginia started
slow, but has come on as of late. Wins
over Florida State, SMU and Wake Forest is the start of a good collection. Illinois is a better version of UCLA on the
computers, with the win over Missouri to boot.

The 10’s – VCU, Minnesota, Florida State and
St. Louis

The
Atlantic 10 finds two teams on this line, both who have some upward
potential. VCU has to add to theirhuge road win at Oregon. George
Washington is still on solid footing with the Creighton win and 5 top-100
victories. The last 3, I basically threw
darts at. I feel a Big 12 team
(Oklahoma, Texas or West Virginia) is destined for the first four this year,
with the overall strength of the conference, but someone has to be around .500
in league play. SMU is in the top 50 in
RPI, KenPom, Sagarin and BPI, despite only the win over UConn. Finally, Arizona State edges out some of the
ACC and SEC bubble teams, as well as St. Mary’s and Boise State at this
point. The Sun Devils are top 40 in 3 of
the rating systems and just need to boost up their RPI.


“This is one of the toughest decisions I have ever had to make. Thank you for an incredible journey and for the support you have shown me,” Long wrote in a lengthy farewell letter emailed at 3:12 p.m. to FEMA staff.

Long clashed with his direct superior, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, in September, when Nielsen appeared intent on forcing Long out of his job even as Hurricane Florence dumped historic amounts of rain on the Carolinas. The relationship deteriorated when an internal investigation became public. The Homeland Security inspector general looked into Long’s use of government vehicles to travel between Washington and his home in North Carolina.

In the middle of the storm, Long told colleagues at FEMA he was on the verge of quitting. But he was popularin the agency and stayed on — until Wednesday, when he surprised his colleagues with his decision to leave.

In an interview with The Washington Post in September, Long called his relationship with Nielsen “professional and functional” and added, “We both understand what needs to be done.” But behind the scenes, Nielsen was irritated with Long for not attending early-morning meetings with top-level DHS staff, and she disapproved of his absences from Washington when he visited his family in North Carolina, an administration official said in September.

The FEMA administrator has an unusual role. FEMA is part of Homeland Security, so Nielsen was Long’s boss, but a FEMA administrator simultaneously has authority to offer advice directly to the president during disasters. This competing chain of command contributed to the friction


deal.”

The investigation last fall blindsided Long right at the moment he was coping with Hurricane Florence in his home state of North Carolina. Long had begun a signature project in the aftermath of the storm, embedding small groups of FEMA employees inside state agencies to create a more seamless response to the natural disaster. In an interview with The Post during the Florence response, he recalled that the first storm he ever lived through was Hurricane Hugo, in 1989, when he was 14 years old.

Dench attended the Mount School, a Quaker independent secondary school in York, and became a Quaker. Her brothers, one of whom was actor Jeffery Dench, were born in Tyldesley, Lancashire. Her niece, Emma Dench, is a historian of ancient Rome.

Career
In Britain, Dench has developed a reputation as one of the greatest actresses of the post-war period, primarily through her work in theatre, which has been her forté throughout her career. She has more than once been named number one in polls for Britain's best actor.

Early work
Through her parents, Dench had regular contact with the theatre. Her father, a physician, was also the GP for the York theatre, and her mother was its wardrobe mistress. Actors often stayed in the Dench household. During


Theatre in February 1968, Frank Marcus, reviewing for Plays and Players, commented that: "She sings well. The title song, in particular, is projected with great feeling."

After a long run in Cabaret, she rejoined the RSC making numerous appearances with the company in Stratford and London for nearly twenty years, winning several "best actress" awards. Among her roles with the RSC, she was the Duchess in John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi in 1971. In the Stratford 1976 season, and then at the Aldwych in 1977, she gave two comedy performances, first in Trevor Nunn's musical staging of The Comedy of Errors as Adriana, then partnered with Donald Sinden as Beatrice and Benedick in John Barton's "British Raj" revival of Much Ado About Nothing. As Bernard Levin wrote inIn my half term report for Yeovil Town's on the pitch performances, one of the issues that I highlighted at the time was the need for either new strikers, or better supply to the strikers. It was quite obvious that the team that had scored six goals at Newport County and four goals at Notts County had dried up badly. Even with those two matches, we've scored 30 goals in 28 League Two games. Compared with last season, we'd scored 38 goals in League Two matches by the same stage of the season, so particularly given that 15 of those goals (50 percent) were scored in the first seven games of the season that is one sizeable drop-off. It is the obvious reason why we've slipped from being


good one, rather than someone who will become a bit-part player, as Omari Patrick did. My assumption is that it will be a loan signing - Way currently has four loanees signed up, and it seems inevitable that we'll end up with a fifth borrowed player.

He revealed that he had watched a match last Monday, 24 hours before the Lincoln game. Few first team fixtures take place on Mondays which means it is almost certainly an Under-23 match taking place. Monday was the day that most clubs played their Under-23 Premier League Cup games, with nine matches taking place. The most local of these was Exeter City's game against Nottingham Forest, which saw 19 year old striker Virgil Gomis bag a hat-trick for Forest. Way might have gonefurther afield - there were games at Peterborough United, Leeds United, Derby County, Doncaster Rovers, Blackburn Rovers, Charlton Athletic, Norwich City and Hull City. But the location, and the fact that Gomis spent a one month loan spell with Braintree Town just before Christmas, would make him a decent match for the sort of player we go for. But 26 days into the month of January, nothing has materialised to fill that hole, which suggests its not proving an easy task.

The need for a striker also made me look at our overall squad in that area, and I can see a bigger challenge brewing in the summer for Way which - assuming he's still in the job - he needs to be looking at now. Taking each striker


in turn:

Francois Zoko : Is still starting games regularly, as the first choice player. However, in 17 appearances this season, he's failed to score and hasn't provided an assist. Francois was our top goalscorer in the previous three seasons, so he's clearly been a success at Yeovil Town. But unless there's a sudden upturn in his form, I suspect that at the age of 35 years old, this season may be his last at the club. He is out of contract in the summer.

Alex Fisher : Overall, Alex is averaging a goal every three games, which is a decent return. However, his position is one to watch - since Way changed his formation from the 4-4-2, Fisher has been dropped to the bench, presumably because he doesn't feelthat the player fits that tactic. It's unusual to leave your top scorer on the bench, and to use a player that hasn't scored. So I wonder where that leads in the long run. Alex hasn't scored in the League since October 23rd, whilst his last goal came against Stockport County in November, that saw him suffer a groin injury in that game. I might be wrong, but it has the same feel of when Tom Eaves fizzled out of the side during the 2016-17 season. Regardless of Way's thoughts on the subject, Fisher is out of contract at the end of this season, and so may fancy looking elsewhere anyway.

Yoann Arquin : In theory Yoann has played most of his career as a front line striker. However,


90 percent of his time with the Glovers has seen him used as a winger, so it would be wrong to consider his strike record. He's also only been given two half-season contracts with the club so far, and again is out of contract in the summer, and so may fancy a bit more financial security.

Korrey Henry : At 19 years old, Korrey was probably brought in with the aim of 'learning' his trade at Huish Park. West Ham United saw him as a midfielder, but Yeovil announced him as a striker which is where he's played so far. However, he's only had 12 minutes worth of football since August 17th, and has only been named on the teamsheet six times since then. Even allowing for his onemonth loan at Poole Town, and a groin injury, that's probably not what he expected. He hasn't got onto a teamsheet since November 24th, and despite the club not listing him in an article itemising players that were getting injury treatment, he didn't make it into the matchday eighteen on Tuesday, despite both Gabriel Rogers and Daniel Ojo being named. His one year contract at Huish Park does have a one year option on it, in the club's favour, but you wonder if they'll exercise that.

That in a nutshell is it. I'm not going to consider players like Devon Arnold, who at the age of 17 years old is not yet on a professional contract. I'd also not class Rhys Browne as a striker, even though he has


occasionally played there. Jordan Green, who had also deputised there (although I think he was better as a winger) is now off the club's books.

So if Darren Way's targetted striker does turn out to be another loanee from a Premier League or Championship side's Under-23 set-up that has to be returned at the end of the season, then he may face some substantial challenges in the summer. It's likely that he'll be looking at a high turnover in that area of his squad. Whilst at the back, you probably would aim to keep the majority of the players we have in our squad, at the other end of the field it wouldn't be an entire surprise if there was a clean sweep in that area. For that reason,I'd prefer to see a new permanent striker blended into the squad now, but with just five days to go until the window closes, that might be an optimistic request.

Finally, the working assumption amongst all Yeovil Town supporters has been that defender Tom James is out of contract at the end of this season. Indeed, that was what was stated by Yeovil Town when in January 2018 they announced that he had penned a new deal. So in theory, he's now into the final six months of that contract, leaving the club with a serious decision to make if any bids come in for him? Not quite - it seems the situation is more complicated than that.

Tweets by reporter Chris Spittles, and also the BBC Bristol Sport account


The first issue of Turkey's largest opposition newspaper, Zaman, since it was seized by the government in a midnight Saturday raid was released on Sunday to widespread condemnation.

As many noted on Twitter, the paper's front page appeared to have transformed overnight into a "propaganda machine" for the regime. It mentioned nothing about the raid on Zaman's headquarters the night before and featured headlines praising the government's work on a new bridge and its strengthening business ties with Iran.

It was also only 12 pages and "a slim version of its previous self," noted the Sydney Morning Herald's Daniel Flitton.

Here is the cover:

The last "free" issue of Zaman was released the day before it was seized. The headline read, "Constitution suspended," above an excerpt from Turkey's constitution that forbids seizureof printing houses and press equipment:

Many of Zaman's journalists were preparing for the raid after a court ordered that the paper be confiscated for allegedly acting as a mouthpiece for the "Fethullahist Terrorist Organization/Parallel State Structure (FETÖ/PDY)."

The "parallel state structure" is what Turkish President Recep Erdogan calls the Gülen movement — a social movement led by the Turkish scholar and preacher Fethullah Gülen that is openly critical of Erdogan's government.

It is not the first time Zaman has been targeted. Zaman's then-editor in chief, Ekrem Dumanli, was arrested in December 2014 on charges of forming and leading a terrorist organization. He he was released five days later.

Sevgi Akarcesme, editor-in-chief of Zaman's English-language counterpart Today's Zaman, was put on trial in August after Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, a member of


the ruling AKP party, sued her for "insulting" him on Twitter. Akarcesme had tweeted that "Davutoğlu, the prime minister of the government that covered up the corruption investigation, has eliminated press freedom in Turkey."

Zaman's management and editorial boards have been replaced by a three-member board consisting of pro-government "trustees." The paper's current editor-in-chief, Abdülhamit Bilici, had his contract voided by the trustees.

In a statement, US State Department spokesman John Kirby called the takeover "troubling."

"We see this as the latest in a series of troubling jucidical and law enforcement actions taken by the Turkish government targeting media outlets and others critical of it," the statement read. "In a democratic society, as I've said many, many times, critical opinions should be encouraged, not silenced."What Greenspan Forgot to Mention When He Talked About Cutting Social Security Benefits

Social Security retirement benefits are going to have to be cut, Alan Greenspan announced last week, because there just is not enough money to pay the promised benefits. President Bush said those already retired or"near retirement age'' should not worry. They will get their promised benefits.

That, in short form, was the story carried on front pages and television news programs across the country.

But there is an element that was forgotten in the rush of news. It dates back 21 years to the events that catapulted Mr. Greenspan into national prominence and led to his becoming chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Since 1983, American workers have been paying more into Social Security than it has paid out in

Aldrin is the second man to ever walk on the Moon, and that is him in those iconic photos from the surface of the Moon.

Aldrin will be at the JSC signing his newest book, "Mission to Mars: My Vision for Space Exploration" on June 21 at 11 a.m.

Astronauts Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins made up the Apollo 11 crew, which saw Armstrong and Aldrin both walk on the Moon, on July 20 and 21 in 1969. They collected nearly 50 pounds of rocks on the lunar surface, with Collins piloting the command spacecraft above them.

Armstrong died late last summer at the age of 82.

The Homeland Security Department is beginning to build a modern section of wall along the Arizona border near New Mexico.

The U.S. Border Patrol and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have begun replacing about seven-and a-half miles of old landing platform from the Vietnam War that has served as most of the border wall in Naco, Ariz.

The old wall is being torn down and replaced with bollard-style fencing reaching 18 feet high.

The new barrier was planned long before incoming President Donald Trump’s call for a new wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Erin Jackson, a Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokeswoman, says, "We have had plans for the last four years to improve this particular area of the border fence. This is strictly a replacement for an existing fence in orderto improve that structure."

Among the benefits of the new barrier: suspects on the Mexican side of the border can't sneak up on Border Patrol agents, a prevalent threat in places where the old landing platform mat once served as a wall dividing other cities along the border from their counterparts in Mexico.

The agency expects to have the barrier finished by next June.


Joe Emerson, the county's planning director, said in an email he received no indication that HHHunt is backing away from the project. He said the developer has filed changes to "fine tune" the project, he said.

In a phone interview Tuesday, Montgomery declined to identify the person at HHHunt he spoke with but said he encouraged the company to air its concerns publicly. He added that any conceptions about Hermitage and Brookland as lesser schools are “misplaced.”

The School Board is considering three redistricting options intended, primarily, to relieve overcrowding at Hungary Creek Middle School. Two of the plans call for school zoning at River Mill to be kept as is, meaning children in the development would attend Hungary Creek and graduate into Glen Allen High School.

Venice (English /ˈvɛnɪs/; Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsia] alternative obsolete form: Vinegia; Venetian: Venexia [veˈnɛsja]; Latin: Venetiae) is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture, and its artworks. The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.
Venice is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000 in the historic city ofIt was the perfect setting for a metal showdown: a dilapidated Masonic temple in Brooklyn. Even better: this was the first area show in four years from Oakland experimental metal band Neurosis. The group — fronted by Steve Von Till, wearing what looked like red doctor's scrubs (or a mental patient's pajamas — your pick) — turned in a skull-fucking set that ranged from full-blown thrash to quieter, tuneful dirges ("Season in the Sky" was a highlight). Equally good were Atlanta dudes Mastodon, who opened for Neurosis with a satisfyingly long string of tunes from all their albums.

Food Security Failing in Britain

The World Food Summit of 1996 defined food security as existing
“when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe,
nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life”. Commonly, the
concept of food security is defined as including both physical and
economic access to food that meets people's dietary needs as well as
their food preferences.

Food security is built on three pillars:

Food availability: sufficient quantities of food available on a consistent basis.

Food access: having sufficient resources to obtain appropriate foods for a nutritious diet.

Food use: appropriate use based on knowledge of basic nutrition and care, as well as adequate water and sanitation.

Seems pretty simple, doesn't it? Access to a consistent supply of food that meets your nutritional needs and that you know howearly 80s, which looked at the food system and the way it delivers to the poorest--particularly under emergency conditions. Far too frequently in famines, there is food available, just not available to those in need. This was true during the Great Potato Famine in Ireland, and has been true since. Ethiopia during LiveAid was exporting food to Europe in the same way the Irish did a century and a half earlier.
The stories coming out of England in Suzanne Moore's essay sound so familiar:

a man who joined the army and found that while on basic training his
wife and children, who had not yet been provided with accommodation,
could not cope with increasing bills and his decreased income. His wife
broke down at her children's nursery and was taken to a food


As a follow-up to his acclaimed recording of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, James Ehnes once again collaborates with Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Sydney Symphony for an all-Tchaikovsky program, recorded live in Sydney. The disc contains the composer's complete works for violin and orchestra, from the beloved Violin Concerto to the less frequently heard Valse-Scherzo. It also includes a delightful bonus - the Souvenir d'un lieu cher with Ashkenazy at the piano. This is a must-have disc for all lovers of violin music. Ehnes is a major talent who is finally getting his well-deserved time in the spotlight.

"My eyes lit up when I saw that Canadian violinist James Ehnes has just released a concert recording of the Tchaikovsky concerto made in Sydney, especially with a Tchaikovskian of the calibre ofVladimir Ashkenazy...I love the way Ashkenazy controls the tempo of the opening, even when the chugging cellos and basses propel us towards the soloist's first entry, and from that point on, basically, you know they're going to have all the time in the world to explore Tchaikovsky's poetic side without having to hurl themselves headlong at the pyrotechnics. Ehnes brings a lovely conversational quality to his dialogue with the orchestra. He's balanced realistically against them, and it allows you to appreciate the sometimes rugged charm of the orchestral writing as Ehnes soars eloquently overhead. The second movement canzonetta has a velvety, muted passion and the finale's explosive opening is impressively urgent, and when Ehnes launches into his solo he leaves room to breathe. It's so expressive, and not


just a hyperventilating rush for the line. Fine work, not least from the recording team, and Tchaikovsky's 'Sérénade Mélancolique', his 'Valse-scherzo' and lastly the three-movement 'Souvenir', with Ashkenazy the pianist, makes this a Tchaikovskian's delight." -BBC Radio 3

"Even in the bravura passages, James Ehnes' bowing seems calm and effortless. Elegent and technically adept, Ehnes is never tempted into over-emotional flourishes: each phrase is precisely measured. It's not a cold performance - it is, after all, Tchaikovsky. But Ehnes never lets that act as an excuse for overplaying, as demonstrated by the solo passage 10 minutes into the first movement, a knife edge dance of subtle and illuminating dexterity." -The Independent

The TelegraphEhnes is not a violinist to use bravura as an end in itself...His dexterity is a marvel oflightness and precision in the finale, but it is consistently aimed towards a musical goal, the range of tone beautifully judged and, as in the first movement, the structure and direction kept in clear view. This is a consummate performance...All in all, the disc makes a fine start to 2012.

Sunday TimesEhnes's virtuosity impresses on account of its virtue. He makes a ravishing sound and meets every technical challenge thrown at him with utterly reliable intonation, tonal consistency and beautifully controlled articulation. What distinguishes him, however, is an almost self-effacing intelligence.

Gramophone MagazineThe sound of Ehnes's violin is especially full and expressive; it's not the kind of tone Tchaikovsky would have recognised but it sound gorgeous and allows him to rise to the concerto's lyrical high spots with considerable intensity.


New Zealand women captain Suzie Bates became the first player to win both the ICC Women's ODI and T20I Player-of-the-Year awards. Bates had won the women's ODI Player-of-the-Year award in 2013 but has been named the T20I Player of the Year for the first time.

The ICC took into consideration the 12 months between September 14, 2015 and September 20, 2016 which included the Women's World T20 in India this year and the Women's Championship that concluded recently. Bates scored 472 runs in seven ODI innings at an average of 94.40, second behind Trisha Chetty's tally of 506 runs from 10 innings. Bates also took eight wickets at an economy rate of 3.75 during the period, the second-highest for a New Zealand player after Erin Berningham's 14 wickets.

In T20Is,heartening to see that the team is doing very well going into the ICC Women's World Cup 2017 which will be held in England and Wales."

New Zealand automatically qualified for next year's World Cup by finishing third in the Women's Championship under Bates' captaincy. They won 13 of their 21 matches that counted towards the championship. New Zealand had also reached the semi-finals of the World T20 earlier this year.

Bates was also named in the Women's Team of the Year 2016, announced by the ICC for the first time, with West Indies' Stafanie Taylor as the captain. The side was selected by a panel chaired by Clare Connor and took into account performances during the same 12-month period from September 2015 to September 2016.

A Port Coquitlam family of three was among 63 Canadian victims on board the Ukrainian Airlines flight that crashed shortly after takeoff Tuesday from Iran's Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport.

The Tri-City News has confirmed that father Ardalan Ebnoddin-Hamidi, his wife, Niloofar Razzaghi, and their 15-year-old son, Kamyar Ebnoddin-Hamidi, were on their way home after a two-week vacation.

In total, 176 lives were lost in the crash.

Kei Esmaeilpour, a family friend and head of the Civic Association of Iranian Canadians, told The Tri-City News the mother was about to start a full-time career as a teacher in Surrey after finishing her studies at UBC.

The father, Ardalan was always active in the community, helping to organize all-candidates meetings in the lead up to elections, and bringing his son alongto help out, Esmaeilpour said.

"They liked to help the community," said Esmaeilpour. "I'm really heartbroken. Remembering him, he was a great symbol of an immigrant coming to Canada."

Even those who only knew the family in passing were immediately struck by their friendliness.

"I always got a smile from them," said neighbour Allen Jones, who moved next


door in December and hadn't yet got a chance to know his neighbours well. "They seemed really nice."

Another neighbour, Alexandra Cabelka was shocked by the news.

She said her family and the Hamidis bought their Port Coquitlam houses around the same time four years ago. Every week, more friends would come over to the house to visit. In the winter, they would chat while shovelling the snow; in the fall, they went for a beer.

“Oh my god,” she said when a reporter visited her house. “I feel sick.”

Sima Ghaffarzadeh, who went to an engineering university with the elder Ebnoddin-Hamidi and now runs the Persian magazine Hamyaari out of Port Moody, said many of those who died on the doomed flight were headed back after winter holidays.

As Ghaffarzadeh works toconfirm the names of the victims through the magazine and the Persian community’s social media channels, others in the Tri-Cities are mourning friends and family.

Coquitlam resident Majid Mahichi told The Tri-City News he lost his good friend Dr. Naser Pourshabanoshibi and his wife Dr. Frouzen Madani of North Vancouver. They had known each other since they were 16 years old and high school students living in northern Iran.

“He was the top student in the school,” said Mahichi, adding that his friend went on to become a doctor, and like him, eventually moving to Canada.

“He was trying to be a good doctor,” he said.

“I’m thinking this is just a dream. That it’s part of a dream.”

North Van residents Delaram Dadashnejad, a Langara College student, as well as Daniel Saket, an engineer, and his dental hygienist wife Faye Kazerani have been named among the casualties so far.

Delaram was an international student flying home to Vancouver after a visit with family in Tehran, according to a statement released by Langara president Lane Trotter Tuesday morning.

“On behalf of the Langara College community, I would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Delaram Dadashnejad,” it read. “The loss of one of our students is one that impacts our entire community.”

The school is offering counselling to those in grief.

Coquitlam’s mayor is also reaching out with condolences after learning that Ardalan Ebnoddin-Hamidi and his family were killed in the crash.

Richard Stewart said he met Ebnoddin-Hamidi many times as he was an active member of the The Civic Association of Iranian Canadians, which organized all-candidates meetings, among other things.

“Their goal was to make sure Iranians in Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities were integrated well and they really took on their civic responsibilities, something that he was deeply passionate about," Stewart told The Tri-City News.

Ebnoddin-Hamidi was also an engineer who worked on the Evergreen Line tunnel and Stewart said


he was part of a team of specialists who took city officials on a tour of the tunnel when it was under construction.

Soon after the news was shared about the Port Coquitlam family perishing in the plane crash, a team was mobilized to provide support to staff and students at Riverside secondary school in Port Coquitlam, which Kamyar Ebnoddin-Hamidi attended.

Notifications were also sent home to families with information and links to resources, such as where to find help for dealing with grief, said School District 43 spokesperson Ken Hoff.

“Any situation like this where a student has been involved in a school community, there is a team mobilized. There will be supports available as long as needed,” Hoff said.

As well, if extra supports are needed for a student todeal with grief, parents are advised to contact the school, Hoff said.

This apology was a carefully crafted piece of lawyerese. As a result of the political and corporate heft of the fruit company, whose headquarters were in Cincinnati, a grand jury investigation got under way into Gallagher and the newspaper.

The company persuaded the judicial authorities to have a grand jury examine allegations of theft, fraud, trespass and invasion of privacy. The company did not address the substance of the allegations in detail. Fifty-six days after the package of stories was run in the paper, the Enquirer published a front page apology, renouncing the investigation. The owner of the paper also forked out more than $10 million to Chiquita to help salve its wounds.

The story caused a sensation and was exactly the sort of thing that good reporters and editorsshould be doing, as opposed to hacking into phones to eavesdrop on the minutiae of celebrity lives. However, in pursuit of the story, an Enquirer reporter, Mike Gallagher, hacked into the voice mail of the company's executives. Gallagher had used a password provided to him by a disgruntled corporate lawyer to access Chiquita's phone messages.

The newspaper accused Chiquita of circumventing laws in the countries in which it operated, bribing government officials in Colombia, exposing its employees to harmful pesticides, crushing unionised labour and not being rigorous in preventing the movement of drugs on its ships.

Did the fact that some of the material for the story was illegally obtained make the expose untrue? The widely held view among journalists and lawyers is that many of the shocking allegations were

The SLS rocket has enjoyed a far less dramatic childhood when compared to the Ares woes of the Constellation Program.

Refinement of the vehicle’s specifications have all proceeded to plan, with thousands and thousands of technical drawings created ahead of being fed into the machinery at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) where the rocket will be built.

For all her technological charms, SLS still lacks a viable number of missions.

While the overall plan is to utilize the rocket in the “proving grounds” of visiting asteroids, the ultimate aim remains focused on Mars – as much as no detailed plans exist and remain a distance dream of being realized in the mid-2030s.

The untitled film by the actor/director behind the movies “Annie Hall” and “Midnight in Paris” started shooting Thursday in the Pacific Heights neighborhood.

Allen will be filming around the Bay Area until the end of the month, a film commissioner said.
