Catholics, other Christians and Jews spoke to WND on site, many celebrating the themes of faith and reliance on God proclaimed from the platform. As WND reported, Beck proclaimed the purpose of the rally, saying, "It has nothing to do with politics; it has everything to do with God." Beck, the Fox News TV host and a professed Mormon, urged his fellow Americans to live according to the Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity. He asked everyone to enter into 40 days of deep prayer, an obvious plea to imitate Jesus Christ's 40 days of prayer and fasting inLive updates

Two men have been charged with money laundering offences after hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash was seized at Portsmouth continental ferry terminal.

Thomas Kent, 43, of Millers Way in Brighton and John Tague, 49, of Halsall, Ormskirk in Lancashire were arrested after a lorry that was about to leave the UK for Bilbao was stopped and searched. Border Force officials found £494, 525 inside the vehicle.

The two men appeared before Portsmouth Magistrates Court on Friday 7th June 2013. They have been bailed to appear before Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday 21st June 2013.

To classify the years as hydrologically stable or unstable, the coefficient of water inflow variation in June-September was considered. The years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2008, which were characterised by many inflow peaks and short retention times, had the highest values of CV (ranging between 46--94%) and were regarded as hydrologically unstable. In the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the coefficient of water inflow variation was substantially lower (ranging between 12--26%), and these years were classified as hydrologically stable. The most hydrologically stable year was 2007, whereas the most unstable year (high inflow in both spring and summer) was 2001. The year 2001 was also the coldest, with a median seasonal (from April to October) water temperatureMahir Momand has spent two-thirds of his life as a refugee and fled his home country of Afghanistan three times. The first time was when his family was forced to flee to Pakistan following the Soviet Union’s invasion. In 2001, they returned to Afghanistan.

The second time was in 2008 when he was a targeted by the Taliban.

“We were providing financial services to people to start small businesses. As a part of that, we established 365,000 small and medium enterprises. There were about a million people involved in that program,” says Momand.

“The Taliban didn’t like that progressive economy in Afghanistan and was attacking the program. It made me and my colleagues a target and that was the reason I was forced for the second time to flee to Canada.”

Two, they are viscerally angry at whoever stands in their way to the next level of progressive utopia. They do not tolerate alternate points of view. An objective individual might classify this behavior as classic immaturity. But there is much more darkness to the statist soul than mere boorish behavior.

The seemingly endless downward spiral into Dante's seventh level of socialist utopia was made into a movie back in 1968, aptly titled " Wild in the Streets ". It was a pretty cheesy flick, but one particular scene left a lasting impression on me. This was where the radical leftist youths who took control of the government sent the old folks off to national concentration camps and forced them to drink from water coolers filled with Kool-Aid laced withsome examples. Of course, Islamists are just statists with a state religion. To the Islamist, the end game for the Infidel is conversion or death.

The statist philosophy, whether Islamic or otherwise, appears to condone and even embrace the concept of eliminating the members of the opposition by murdering them. While the left projects hatred, racism, and evil on the conservative end of the spectrum, it is they who actually exhibit these attributes. As New York University professor George Watson states in his book , "The Lost Literature of Socialism":

But it was the issue of race, above all, that for half a century has prevented National Socialism (the Nazi party) from being seen as socialist. The assumption that socialism was never racist can now be seen as a misunderstanding.

The


steps at a time, they would have to be killed. They were racial trash, as Engels called them, and fit only for the dung-heap of history.

Watson continues:

Socialism offered a blank check to violence, and its license to kill included genocide. In 1933, in a preface to On the Rocks, for example, Bernard Shaw publicly welcomed the exterminatory which, to his profound satisfaction, the Soviet Union had already adopted. Socialists could now take pride in a state that had at last found the courage to act, though some still felt that such action should be kept a secret. In 1932 Beatrice Webb remarked at a tea-party what "very bad stage management" it had been to allow a party of British visitors in the Ukraine to see cattle-trucks full ofThe competitive eater and hot dog champion of the galaxy, Takeru Kobayashi (Kobi), is in town for the State Fair.

An overview of the descent and landing of the Huygens probe on Titan.
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is the only Solar System planetary body other than Earth with a thick nitrogen atmosphere. The Voyager spacecraft confirmed that methane was the second-most abundant atmospheric constituent in Titan's atmosphere, and revealed a rich organic chemistry, but its cameras could not see through the thick organic haze. After a seven-year interplanetary journey on board the Cassini orbiter, the Huygens probe was released on 25 December 2004. It reached the upper layer of Titan's atmosphere on 14 January and landed softly after a parachute descent of almost 2.5 hours. Here we report an overview of the Huygens mission, which enabled studies of the atmosphere and surface, including in situ sampling of the organicMore than ever, old monuments to famous white American men are being threatened in the name of progress. Naturally, this has become a rallying cry on the far right, with plenty of encouragement from the most powerful man in the world. At the same unhinged press conference in which Donald Trump again blamed both sides for the deadly violence in Charlottesville last weekend, he also painted a picture of a slippery slope where those fighting for the removal of Confederate statues today might be destroying tributes to more mainstream slave-owning icons like George Washington tomorrow. He lamented this prospect once more on Thursday, opining on Twitter that "the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to


sort of larger-than-life monument, either. While he is a man who embodies so many of the dreams I had for this nation as a child, he has also committed acts I absolutely abhor. His embrace of aerial drone strikes, especially in nations like Somalia, was extremely disheartening for both their attendant civilian casualties and the shaky legal framework in which they were committed. His expansion of surveillance programs that sprawled under George W. Bush could theoretically now be used by the Trump administration to stymie movements like Black Lives Matter, which is comprised of people actually doing work to make this nation more equitable. And in case you haven't noticed, as great as the optics of Obama's presidency were, they seem to have done little to heal therespect for history, and that tearing them down is tantamount to ripping pages out of a textbook. But monuments built by the state are not history—they manifestations of power. They don't tell you who, what, why, or how something happened. Instead, they just inform you who's in control. This is even true with the Confederate statues, even though the South lost the war. The reality is that the enshrinement of those generals in statues across the nation mostly did not happen right after the war as a tribute to lost struggle. Instead, they were built in the early 1900s and the 1960s, when it was crucial for those in power to signal that white supremacy would endure in the face of Reconstruction, the Progressive Era, and the civil


this false, tepid caricature of King that was initially captured in his monument in Washington. The people behind the sculpture arguably distorted a quote of King's about overthrowing the political order through radical change and turned it into something bland, meaningless, and wholly uncontroversial. As art and architecture critic Philip Kennicott wrote in an editorial in the Washington Post back in 2011, "The memorial could be vastly improved simply by removing the statue."

I tend to agree with that. I'm not sure that a monument put on by the state, which still perpetuates violence across the world and has immense inequality here at home, could ever produce a work that truly honors the real, radical legacy of Dr. King. King was a man who damned capitalism and war asAndreas Georgson will be joining Brentford FC as Head of Set Pieces and Individual Development. Andreas is currently working at Malmö Fotbollförening in Sweden and will arrive in West London in November when their season ends. The 37-year-old has worked at Malmö for more than a decade and is currently Assistant Coach at the club which sits third in the Swedish top flight.

Andreas is currently working under former Brentford Head Coach Uwe Rösler and is coming to the end of his second season with the Malmö first team. They finished third last year and are currently just three points off the top of the table with eight games remaining. Malmö have also reached the UEFA Europa League group stages, losing to eventual winners Chelsea in the last 32


last season.

Andreas was given a position with the Malmö first team at the end of 2017 after 12 years working in the youth set-up. He was given specific responsibility for bringing young players through to the first team. Andreas is also responsible for the Malmö Under-21 team.

Andreas said: “I have worked at Malmö FF for 14 years and have had several positions at the club: Head of Youth Scouting, Head of Methodology in the academy, Under-17 Head Coach and, for the last two years, Assistant Coach for the first team. I will finish the season with Malmo but then I am really looking forward to joining the team at Brentford in November and fighting for promotion to the Premier League over the coming years.”

Rasmus Ankersen, Brentford FC Co-Directorof Football, said: “Andreas is an experienced coach who has helped Malmö to deliver impressive international results over the past few years. I am very pleased that he has accepted to join Brentford in a role that is crucial for our success."

Andreas is an experienced coach, having achieved his UEFA Pro Licence and also the UEFA Certificate in Football Management. He was a player with GIF Nike, coming through the youth ranks as a centre back and captaining the club. He also played for FC Rosengård and worked in the Malmö academy while playing professionally.


      {¶ 3} On August 16, 2018, Addison was indicted a second time in Case No. 2018-

CR-00721, on two counts of rape, with the specification that the victim was less than 13

years of age, and three counts of gross sexual imposition. The charges arose out of

allegations that in 2007, Addison touched M.A.'s vagina on two occasions and in 2015,

Addison touched M.A.'s thigh near her vagina. With regard to the rape charges, the state

alleged that in August 2005, Addison digitally penetrated the vagina of A.A. on two

occasions. Despite the timing of the indictment, the charges relating to M.A. stemmed from

allegations she made against Addison in 2016. At the time of the indictment, M.A. was 16

years old and A.A. was 21 years old.

Addison. The abuse began when K.K. was in second grade and occurred every year until

she was 11 years old. K.K. further testified that most of the abuse occurred in Addison's

bed, as she slept in his bed when she visited, but indicated it also occurred on the couch

and in her bedroom.      K.K. indicated she was afraid to tell anyone because Addison

threatened that she would not see Marshall or Caldwell if she told.

       {¶ 9} Marshall also testified regarding M.A.'s similar disclosure in November 2016

and explained why she and Caldwell continued to take K.K. to Addison's after hearing

M.A.'s claims. According to Marshall, at the time M.A. made her disclosure, Addison had

recently taken away her phone, and Marshall viewed her


penetration; oral/penile
              penetration where she had to lick his penis and that she had to
              play with his nuts, as she called them. She had to masturbate
              herself in front of him and that he used a tampon on her - - in
              her vagina one time.

K.K. then told Freihofer one or multiple of the above acts occurred every time she visited

Addison. Freihofer testified that although K.K. indicated the abuse began when she was

six years old,at Addison's residence. Due to the allegations, the sergeant

removed M.A. from the residence, took her to her grandmother's home, and contacted

children's protective services regarding the situation. Thereafter, the sergeant was not

involved in any additional investigation into M.A.'s allegations, however, he confirmed it

was not unusual for a case to remain open while additional evidence was collected. After

the sergeant's initial investigation into the allegations, the case was assigned to Investigator

Lori Saylor with the Clermont County Sheriff's Office. The investigator testified at trial, and

stated that because Addison was aware of the allegations, the investigation was limited.

According to the investigator, she advised M.A. to go to the Mayerson Center.

       {¶ 21} On November 23, 2016, approximately one year prior to interviewing K.K.,

Cecilia Freihofer, the social worker


with the Mayerson Center, interviewed M.A. regarding

her allegations. At trial, Freihofer testified that at the time of the interview, M.A. was 14

years old. M.A. described the first instance of sexual assault, which occurred when she

was around six years old, but she could not recall specifically what had happened. M.A.

knew Addison had touched her vagina and that she did not have clothes on. M.A. recalled

a second incident where Addison began rubbing her stomach on top of her clothing and

attempted to put his hands down her pants. At that point, M.A. left the room.

       {¶ 22} Freihofer indicated that M.A. was afraid to disclose the abuse sooner, as

Addison had threatened to move her away from her family, siblings, and friends if she told.

M.A. alsoand Addison was appointed new

counsel, Brian Goldberg. Thereafter, Goldberg filed a motion to withdraw as counsel, as

he felt the relationship had deteriorated to the point where he was unable to provide

effective representation for Addison.      The trial court granted Goldberg's motion, and

appointed a third attorney.

       {¶ 31} In September 2018, Addison's new attorney filed a motion to withdraw as

counsel, wherein she indicated Addison had requested, via letter, for her to remove herself

as counsel. A few days later, the trial court held a hearing regarding the matter. At the

hearing, the attorney explained that Addison was dissatisfied with her representation.

Addison stated he was unhappy with his attorney because he felt she was working with the

prosecutor and laughed at Addison for

        {¶ 67} As discussed above, K.K. testified that Addison sexually assaulted her every

weekend she visited with Addison. K.K. indicated the abuse began when she was around

six or seven years old, in second grade, and occurred every year until she was 11 years

old. K.K. described the various forms of assault, and stated Addison would put his fingers

in her vagina, touch her breasts, make her masturbate him, insert his penis into her mouth,

PHILADELPHIA – Flyers goalie Steve Mason only met his idol once.

After his rookie season, in which he had 10 shutouts, Mason was added to Team Canada's orientation camp in August 2009 for the 2010 Olympics.

Martin Brodeur was a shoo-in to make the squad and signed a stick and a jersey for Mason before he went back to Columbus to prepare for his sophomore season.

Although they didn't meet and shake hands this time, both were in the building Saturday night as Mason earned his 25th career shutout, blanking the Toronto Maple Leafs 1-0 in his 100th game as a Flyer.

"I didn't (know he was there)," Mason said. "I think he's got 100-plus shutouts on me. I don't think he's too worried about


it."

Brodeur officially retired from the game Thursday, ending a (future) Hall of Fame career with a cup of coffee in St. Louis with the Blues.

The 42-year-old goalie now sips his java as a Blues front-office executive after playing 1,259 of his 1,266 games for the New Jersey Devils.

Saturday night's game, looked like vintage Flyers-Devils the way the Maple Leafs are playing these days. They don't give up much. The Flyers amassed only 18 shots, their lowest since a season-low 16 that was good enough to beat the L.A. Kings back in December.

It's far more defensive than the Maple Leafs are used to playing…and it's not helping. The Leafs end January with a 1-12-1 record. When the month began, they had the most goals in the NHL. Entering Saturdaythinking about it too much. For myself it was just to make the next save and it turned out all right."

He needed to be sharp again in the second period when Peter Holland had a shorthanded breakaway and Mason kicked the puck away with his right pad.

"Unbelievable," Del Zotto said of his goalie. "He's been great for us since he's been back. Made some huge saves, obviously got us the win tonight."

With the victory, the Flyers extend their win streak to four for the first time all season. They end the month of January 8-6-0 and are nine points out of a playoff spot. Clearly four straight games isn't good enough to make a serious dent.

"It's a great start, but there's still room for improvement," Mason said. "Obviously,


Population boundaries and genetic diversity in the endangered Mariana crow (Corvus kubaryi).
The Mariana crow (Corvus kubaryi) is an endangered species that is restricted to the islands of Guam and Rota in the Mariana archipelago. Predation by the introduced brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) has decimated bird populations on Guam, and the crow population there is the last wild remnant of the endemic forest avifauna. The population on Guam is critically endangered and, despite intensive management, the population has continued to decline. Additional management options include intermixing the Guam and Rota populations, but such options are best evaluated within a population genetics framework. We used three types of molecular markers to assay genetic variation in the Mariana crow: mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences, minisatellites and microsatellites. The two populations couldin Canadian SF. Nowadays, many of the eligible works are by people I’ve worked with, such as editors or book designers, or people I’ve met at conventions, on panels or at readings.

The enemy was not able to get a single shot off at the MEDEVAC helicopters, due to the precise airpower strikes of Spooky 41’s aircrew.

On the night of Apr. 3, 2019, on a heavily-fortified mountainside near Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan, a group of joint American special operations and coalition forces found themselves taking fire as casualties mounted after an improvised explosive device attack.

As told by Staff Sgt. Nicole King, 1st Special Operations Wing Public Affairs, in the article Gunship crew awarded 14 medals for joint SOF Afghanistan mission, in need of assistance, the Special Tactics operators on the ground called for an AC-130U “Spooky” Gunship, (call sign Spooky 41) who arrived to suppress the enemy located in close proximity to the group.

As the gunship fired down on the enemy,Derek Elley said the movie creates a portrait of an energetic, sunny woman, for whom “boundaries of race, language, culture and gender did not seem to exist.”

Esther Ng (or Ng Kam-ha) was born in San Francisco on Sept. 24, 1914. She was a fan of Cantonese Opera and befriended many of the performers there. Her first credit was as co-producer of the 1936 movie “Heartaches,” filmed in Hollywood in eight days and directed by Frank Tang. She changed her last name in the credits to Eng, to make it easier to pronounce.

She directed several films in Hong Kong including “Storm of Envy” and “Ten Thousand Lovers,” and returned to the Bay Area in 1939, distributing Cantonese films in Central and South America.

She also directed “It’s a Women’s World”


(1939), featuring an all-female cast of 36, as well as the late-’40s films “The Blue Jade” and “Mad Fire Mad Love.”

When Wern. reviewed “Golden Gate Girl,” it was playing an exclusive run at the Grandview Theater in San Francisco, in Cantonese without subtitles. But the reviewer said the story (about a girl who defies her family, falls in love and gets pregnant) was easy to follow and could do good business if English subtitles were provided.

He added that, as a novelty film, “It would be natural for benefit performances to raise money for Rice Bowl drives.”

Millions of Chinese were suffering as a result of the Second Sino-Japanese War that began in the late 1930s, so Chinese communities in the U.S. pitched in with fund-raising events from 1938-41, featuringstreet entertainment, Chinese opera companies and a parade, among other enticements. According to Bill Van Niekerken at the San Francisco Chronicle, the S.F. events were the most successful of the 700 cities participating, raising $55,000 in the first year, and even more in the next two years.

But “Golden Gate Girl” never got a wide distribution. Eng segued from filmmaking to the restaurant biz, opening an eatery in New York City in 1950.

Her final film credit was “Murder in New York Chinatown,” in 1961. But that was a one-off amid her 20-year career as a restaurateur, including five locations in Manhattan.

Eng died in 1970 at age 55. She was largely forgotten until a 1995 column in Variety drew attention to her, encouraging film historians to look into her works.

Helping


to do research for that column was Elley, a Variety staffer at the time and an expert on Asian films.

When he reviewed the documentary at the Hong Kong Film Festival, he commented that Eng’s lesbian life “seems not to have affected her career in any negative way, partly because homosexuality was an accepted part of the Chinese opera world in which she moved, and from which many film performers of the time came. With her boyish haircut and mannish clothes, she was always addressed by the nickname ‘Big Brother Ha.’ ”

Elley concluded, “Until more of her work surfaces, she’ll remain a fascinating footnote in Chinese film history.” Wei’s documentary is being distributed by the New York-based Women Make Movies.Happier days: Jarryd Hayne with Gold Coast coach Neil Henry after he signed with the Titans last season. Credit:Getty Images Hayne is a big personality and has been afforded special treatment at previous clubs, but that's not how Henry operates. The coach doesn't play favourites and the friction between them was palpable when he walked out on a press conference when probed about the issue six weeks ago. There are some at the club hoping Hayne doesn't stay put. Hayne hasn't lived up to his price tag since returning from the NFL, although injuries have conspired against him. The former Eels fullback was in high demand when he finished up with the San Francisco 49ers, but it's hard to imagine any NRL club matching the dollars he can


earn on the holiday strip. Even though he doesn't want to be coached by Henry, Hayne will probably end up taking up the option because of the lack of other prospects. It means, at least for the short term, they will be stuck with each other. The irony is Henry is under pressure himself and needs Hayne to fire to secure his own future.

With the player market in meltdown, the NRL wrote to all clubs reminding them to uphold the sanctity of the 10-day cooling off period and announcement protocols. Brisbane are furious that Cronulla announced Jack Bird's departure to Red Hill, as etiquette dictates that the club signing a player gets first crack at trumpeting the announcement. Rules also forbid any public comments regarding signings until the 10-business-day cooling off period has elapsed. The NRL's new salary cap auditor, Richard Gardham, sent an email to club powerbrokers during the week to remind them of their obligations. "As a matter


of courtesy, the club signing a player – rather than the club releasing the player – should make the announcement that they have secured his services," Gardham wrote. Milford still in the mix

We wrote several weeks ago that Anthony Milford wasn't a done deal at Brisbane. We've since heard his agent has offered the off-contract playmaker to rival clubs. The Broncos are still favourites to retain him, where he would strike up an unlikely halves pairing with Jack Bird, but don't be surprised to see Sydney teams come into the mix. The cashed-up Tigers are now on the lookout for a fullback and a five-eighth – and Milford can play both positions. The Broncos, meanwhile, are keen to bring Gold Coast halfback Ash Taylor back to the clubwhen he becomes a free agent. Watch this space. Family clubs Melbourne's future premiership aspirations have effectively been thwarted by family matters.

Cooper Cronk is leaving the club for love, moving to Sydney to be closer to fiancee Tara Rushton. Now, his preferred replacement, Kieran Foran, will knock the Storm back because family arrangements surrounding time with his children means he needs to live in Sydney. It's our understanding Foran was keen to start over in Melbourne, but his family situation will almost certainly result in a shift to Canterbury. Foran is only three games into his comeback, but already has done enough to convince Kiwi selectors he is ready for a return for the upcoming Test against the Kangaroos.

latest recruitment target. We hear the Knights are keen on Warriors prop Albert Vete.

Hail centurion Tim Lafai will notch 100 NRL games on Anzac Day, a milestone the St George Illawarra centre admits he often thought would be beyond him. "Reaching 100 games is very special to me and my family, and for the team to be playing consistent footy and enjoying each week makes it that little bit more rewarding," Lafai said. "In the early stages of my career I wouldn't have expected to be here. I didn't play a lot of junior reps and when I arrived at the Bulldogs I was playing park footy for East Campbelltown. To reflect from my debut right through to this coming game, I have been very fortunate and amhumbled by the opportunities I have had." Lafai did a stint in reserve grade last year, but has bounced back to become one of the form three-quarters of the competition.

"This was one of the first pre-seasons I have completed in a long time and I gained a lot of confidence from that," he said. "Hopefully that is reflected in the way I am playing footy."

The New Zealand international can't get an NRL start at a club sitting outside the top eight and isn't happy about it. Some of the teams interested in his services during the off-season, such


as the Eels and Dragons, have dropped off after signing Mitchell Moses and Ben Hunt respectively. However, there is still demand for the 22-year-old, who has no intention of seeing out the final 18 months of his contract with the Vulcans.

Vikings 4.19: On the Verge of History

Vikings 4.19 pitches us onto the verge of the ultimate battle - at least, ultimate for this season - between the invading, revenge-seeking sons of Ragnar, and King Eckbert's chosen defending leader, his own son Aethelwulf. The final scene is fine classic: Aethelwulf and what's left of his army, ravaged by Ivar's clever appear-and-run strategy, finally charging headlong into the Vikings.

Based on what we've seen, there's no way, short of a bolt from the blue that destroys the Vikings, for Aethelwulf to win this. History, for those who want to consult it, is unclear in how it relates to this battle. In general, we're told the Vikings were not that much of a threat to Wessex in Aethelwulf time


was not the one really responsible for Ragnar's death. But we'll see.

Meanwhile, Lagertha's holding forth back home is fun to see, but adds little to the historical tapestry in England which is the centerpiece of this story. For that reason, I regret Lagertha not being part of this expedition. But we'll see how at least some of this turns out this coming week.

Ronny Deila will monitor Ljuban Crepulja in training before deciding whether to move for the Croatian

Celtic have yet to make a decision on whether to sign Ljuban Crepulja, according to manager Ronny Deila.

The former Croatia youth international midfielder, 22, is in Glasgow training with the Scottish champions.

"He's a player we've watched a little bit, but want to see more of. Now he's training with us and we'll see during the week what we do," Deila said.

Celtic have already bolstered their squad with the signing of Danish defender Erik Sviatchenko.

Crepulja, a defensive midfielder, has made over 70 appearances with Croatian top-flight outfit Slaven Belupo external-link since July 2013.

Deila, meanwhile, has reiterated striker Anthony Stokes still has a future at the club, despite being sent out on loan to Hibernian.

Stokescan be."

Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Dundee United were also interested in taking Stokes on loan, but Hibs was the preferred option for the player - a decision Deila was happy to respect.

"Anthony wanted to go there. That's very important. If he has motivation to play and if he feels he has good communication with the manager and he is going to be important in the team, then that is a good start for him. His goal as well is to come back here to be an important player for Celtic."


Whitworth's defensive numbers are the team's best since 2001 when the Pirates led all of NCAA Division III with a 0.59 goals against average for the season. Goal keeper Kyle Novak has played 695 of the team's 740 minutes this season and he has yet to allow a goal. Not only has he been stingy, the players in front of him have made his job much easier as Novak has had to make just 14 saves all season. On the other end of the field, the goal scoring comes from defender Will Wren with three goals and an assist for seven points, and from forward Robby Ubben and midfielder Samuel Engle with two goals apiece. Whitworth head coach Sean Bushey, a close friend to PLU head coach Johnconference players with 31 shots. Keeper Michael Bathurst has a 1.28 goals against average and is third in the conference with 34 saves.

THE PLU VS. WHITMAN SERIES: While the Lutes have a solid 42-8-1 all-time record in the series, the Missionaries have won three of the last eight matches, including both contests played in 2008. Last year's matches were close with the Lutes winning 3-2 in overtime and 2-1.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: PLU junior forward Derek Johnson scored two goals against Willamette and added an assist versus Linfield and as a result earned Northwest Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honors. Johnson, who came to PLU out of nearby Franklin Pierce High School, took over the PLU team goal-scoring lead with his fourth and fifth tallies


of the campaign. Add in his three assists this season and Johnson also paces the squad this season with 13 points.

PLU 3, LINFIELD 0: The Lutes peppered the Linfield net, launching 24 attempts at goal over the course of the afternoon in beating the Wildcats, 3-0, last Saturday in McMinnville. Those efforts didn't pay off until the 26th minute when a Derek Johnson cross across the penalty area was poked down by Jeff Piaquadio to the feet of Brenden Cohen, who slotted his third goal of the season past Linfield keeper Scott Goodman. Piaquadio scored one of his own before the half, floating unmarked to the far post before heading a Shane Gutierrez cross into the back of the net. The second half saw the Lutes continue theirdominance, with Linfield failing to register a single shot. In the 86th minute, freshman Sean Rigney put the game beyond doubt, netting his first goal of the year off a through ball from Johnson. Joe Rayburn registered three saves in his third clean sheet of the season and the Lutes' defense did not concede any corners in the match.

PLU 2, WILLAMETTE 1: Derek Johnson scored two goals in the final 11 minutes of the match as Pacific Lutheran rallied past Willamette, 2-1, last Sunday afternoon in Salem, Ore. The Bearcats opened the scoring at 11:13 when Tyler Yates notched his second goal of the campaign, beating PLU keeper Joe Rayburn from about eight yards out. Trevor Jensen started the play with a pass to Erik Kaufman, who sent


the ball to Yates for the finish. That goal held up for most of the match, but Pacific Lutheran's second half siege of Willamette's defense, and keeper Brayden Calder, finally paid off at 79:04 when Tyler Bennett passed to Johnson, who netted his fourth goal of the season. The Lutes pressed for the go-ahead goal and it came at 85:54 when Emmanuel Amarh sent a ball to Johnson, who gave his team the lead. "We were able to come out in the second half and move the ball a lot better," Johnson said. "Emmanuel did a ton of work, G (Giancarlo Santoro) did a ton of work up there, and we were just able to find it." The goals were reward for a second half that saw Pacificwas displaced to a Pentecostal campground serving as a Red Cross shelter. His father moved to Houston not long after, finding economic opportunity here.

Blue, the top prep prospect in Louisiana, committed to LSU, which gave his family the opportunity to see him play in college. Stacy Revere/Getty Images

A respite followed for the next few years.

Blue became a star running back at Hahnville High School and the top prep prospect in Louisiana by his senior year. His commitment to LSU was noteworthy for the school and for his family, who were near enough that they could come watch his games.

“It’s very intimidating,” Blue said. “The expectations are very high when you go in [to LSU]. Coach [Les] Miles, he tells you that. He also tells you, you have the


opportunity to play as a freshman. ‘You show me that you’re mature enough and ready.’”

Blue played in 11 games during his freshman year, with one start. In his sophomore year, Blue was part of a trio of running backs who each rushed for more than 500 yards. And during that sophomore season, hardship returned.

Clement didn’t want to tell her oldest son that their house had burned down again. She knew he’d rush right over to be with his family, and she wanted him to worry about himself instead.

In September 2011, the home in which she, Blue’s grandmother, Blue’s aunt, Blue’s cousin and Blue’s siblings had lived burned down. A cousin told Blue instead, and, as his mother predicted, he left school to go home to be with her.LSU held fundraisers through a foundation called Relief-4-Blue that was approved by the NCAA due to the extreme circumstances involved. They raised tens of thousands of dollars.

“I learned that LSU was family,” Blue said. “The university helped me and my family. Helped my mom, my sister, brother. Helped them get clothes. They raised money, they announced it at the games. ... Everything she needed to get back on her feet.”

A few months later, Blue’s grandmother, Beverly Geason, died. His aunt, Tyra Hill, had died earlier in the year. Again, Clement tried to shield her son from the news, knowing he had a big game approaching. The news got to him anyway.

During the 2012 season, Blue earned a job as LSU’s starting running back, but then pain returned in


a more literal sense. He tore an ACL in the third week of the season. At the time, Blue was averaging 112 rushing yards per game.

“When I came back off my ACL, I was the starter again, and [then] I had a bruised knee after the TCU game,” Blue said, referring to the 2013 season opener. “That slowed me down again. It was just a lot of injuries that slowed me down from reaching my full potential in college. I just kept moving forward.”

Football continued to buttress him; he would need that again.

In November 2013, Blue lost two uncles. Stanley Robinson, who was shot to death in his house, always looked out for Blue, spending generously on his nephew. His son, Stanley Robinson Jr., who Blue says isLONDON (Reuters) - Mayor of London Sadiq Khan will allow protesters to fly a blimp over parliament portraying Donald Trump as an orange, snarling baby during the U.S. president’s upcoming visit, Khan’s office said on Thursday.

Campus activities have since seen an influx in first-generation students thanks to the Priddy Scholars program, a full-ride scholarship that encourages involvement on campus, study abroad, and service projects.

According to Cammie Dean, director of student transition services, the program began as an idea between Keith Lamb, vice president of student affairs and enrollment management, Suzanne Shipley, university president, and the Priddy Foundation, a local non-profit in Wichita Falls. The program officially began fall 2017, recruiting 31 first generation students.

“To focus on job search or graduate school search, depending upon what majors students are taking with them,” Dean said. “All of that is really about at whatever phase or level a student is at, getting them most of every opportunity that they possibly can at MSU.”

Among the plans the program has in store for students in the program, Dean is most excited for Priddy Scholars to study abroad their senior year. Nationally and at MSU, the number of American students studying abroad is low, especially for first-generation college

Union calls off strike in restive Tunisian town

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A Tunisian labor union on Sunday suspended a nearly weeklong strike in an impoverished central town after the national government agreed to remove a local governor.

Over 300 people had been injured in clashes with police this week in Siliana, 75 miles (120 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Tunis.

The Regional Workers Union called a strike last week to protest the area's economic problems, its lack of government investment and the imprisonment without trial of 14 activists for the last year and a half.

The strike degenerated into daily clashes between stone-throwing youths and police, who responded with tear gas and buckshot.

The U.N. Human Rights Commission criticized police for using excessive force and the ministry of health announced Saturdaythat two civilians had lost an eye from the buckshot.

Before hundreds of supporters in Siliana, union official Ahmed Chafei announced the "provisional suspension" of the strike to "test the seriousness of the promises made by the government."

"The governor will never again set foot in Siliana, he has truly left and if he returns we will restart the strike," he told the cheering crowd.

Unrest in the poor regions outside Tunis has particular resonance, for it was there that a young man selling vegetables burned himself to death, setting off protests that toppled Tunisia's longtime dictator in January 2011. That in turn set off what is now known as the Arab Spring revolutions.

Since then, however, Tunisia's economy has struggled, especially with the economic crisis in Europe, its largest trading partner.

There's now a disturbing indication that Robert Hanssen, the FBI man accused of spying for the Russians in what officials said at the time of his arrest was a massive security breach, ended up helping Osama bin Laden.

As correspondent Carl Cameron reports, Hanssen sold the Russians an extremelysensitive piece of U.S. technology, and the indications are that they, in turn, sold it to bin Laden's Al Qaeda terrorist network — Car.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CARL CAMERON, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT

(voice-over): Fox News has learned that government officials suspect Osama bin Laden may have highly sophisticated U.S. government software, that has been used by several governments, including the United States, for classified intelligence and law enforcement information.

Bin Laden allegedly purchased it from Russian sources, after Russia got it from convicted spy and former FBI agent Robert Hanssen, who was nabbed earlier this year.

Hanssen lived in a quiet Virginia neighborhood outside Washington until his arrest. Sources say to avoid the death penalty, for what some have described as the worst U.S. intelligence breach in decades, he confessed to giving Russia vast


program. Numerous countries now, however, are tightening their cyber security. Germany stopped using Promis software just last week. Great Britain began closing it down just a few months ago. Canada has actually investigated potential tampering with its Promis programs, and Israel has used it on and off for years, too.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

CAMERON: And the United States has been constantly updating the encryption and coding of its software for a number of months. And after the Hanssen case, the FBI, the Justice Department and various different intelligence operations all say, Brit, that they took a wide array of steps in order to improve the security of the information.

It's interesting to note that shortly after the attacks, when the U.S. crackdown on bin Laden's finances began, bin Laden in Afghanistan grantedAnthony Weiner sentenced to 21 months in prison

New York, (IANS) Former Congressman Anthony Weiner who pleaded guilty in May to sexting with a 15-year-old girl, was sentenced on Monday to 21 months in prison and three years of supervised release.

“The difference here is that this is a very strong compulsion,” said Judge Denise Cote in handing down the sentence, saying that compulsion was evidence by “the destruction of his career on two occasions”.

Weiner, who was unaccompanied by his wife Huma Abedin, buried his face in his hands on hearing the sentence.

The sentencing was delivered in US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Weiner, 53, also faces spending the rest of his life as a registered sex offender for his lengthy and lurid social media contacts with


the North Carolina teen, the USA Today reported.

Weiner cried as he read from a written statement in Manhattan federal court, saying he has hit “rock bottom.” He said he was “a very sick man for a very long time.”

Weiner was first elected to Congress in 1999 and easily won re-election in his Brooklyn district six more times. His star rose in the Democratic Party in 2010 after a short but dramatic speech before Congress blasting Republicans for voting against an aid bill for first-responders to the 9/11 terror attacks.

A year later he was out, resigning his seat after admitting to exchanging “messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women” over a period of about three years.

Other induction charging systems have been put to use in several locations, including Utah; Turin, Italy; and Gumi, South Korea, with more under study. Longer-term, proponents believe the technology could be incorporated into highways for use by electric passenger cars such as the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S — perhaps built into existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes or dedicated lanes for use by battery cars only.

Right now, such induction charging systems have to be linked to the conventional electric power grid. But the Brusaws have suggested that they could combine in-road chargers with their solar roadways, eventually allowing highways to both generate power and use that energy to operate a fleet of zero-emission cars, trucks and buses.

French president Emmanuel Macron wants to launch citizens' debates across Europe in order to "rebuild" the EU in a more democratic way.

"Europe can continue its destiny only if it is chosen and wanted," he said in Athens on Thursday (7 September).

Student or retired? Then this plan is for you.

In a speech symbolically delivered in "the cradle of democracy", on the Pnyx hill, with the Acropolis behind him, the French leader called on Europeans to "have the courage to find again the path of democracy."

He said that he wanted to organise a series of "democratic conventions" in the first half of 2018 in EU countries that were willing to do so.

He explained that "the peoples of Europe will be consulted and will debate on principles proposed by the governments."

Thena "roadmap for Europe in the next 10 or 15 years" would be elaborated upon the citizens' ideas.

Referring to previously lost EU referendums in France, Netherlands, and Ireland, he noted that "the European project was turned down by peoples" but that those peoples "were not heard".

"In Europe today, sovereignty, democracy, and trust are in danger," Macron said.

"We must rediscover the enthusiasm that the union was founded upon and change, not with technocrats and not with bureaucracy," he added.

Macron's proposal on conventions was reminiscent of how he launched his own political career last year.

He started with a questionnaire to citizens when he created his political movement, which helped him to make a "diagnosis" of voters' expectations ahead of the 2017 elections.

His Athens gambit was also part of a strategy


to shape EU politics, and to put France and Macron himself centre stage.

Macron, who has met almost all EU leaders in recent weeks, has said he will soon make 10 "concrete propositions" to rebuild Europe.

He intends to present them after the German elections on 24 September, but before German coalition talks start, so that they can be taken into account in the discussions to elaborate the next German government's programme.

Macron gave some indications on Thursday of what he will propose.

He said he was in favour of transnational lists for the European elections. He also said that he wanted a eurozone parliament "which would enable the creation of democratic responsibility."

The strengthening of the eurozone will form the bulk of Macron's propositions.

Jab at IMF

Repeating ideas first aired last week, theFrench president said in Athens that he wanted a eurozone budget and a European finance minister. He added that the eurozone should have its own capacity to manage financial crises.

He criticised the EU management of the Greek crisis, in particular its call to involve the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2010.

"I don't think it was the right method for the IMF to supervise European programmes and intervene in the way it did," he said, pleasing his Greek hosts.

"The IMF had no place in EU matters," Macron said.

Macron, who received the Order of the Redeemer, Greece's highest decoration, said: "We still find in Greece the exacerbated problems Europe is suffering from."

He called for debt relief for Greece and urged the IMF not to ask for new requirements to go


(CNN) -- The trial is being held under strict security measures.

The defendant was transported to the courthouse compound in a military convoy. Because he is a minor, the public is not allowed inside the courtroom in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Only the judge, defense and prosecution attorneys, family members, and a human rights observer are allowed inside.

The defendant, known as "El Ponchis" ("The Cloak") is an American citizen who is 14 years old.

A video provided to CNN by the Mexican military shows the San Diego native after he was captured near Mexico City in December, as he allegedly was trying to flee. In an on-camera interrogation by Mexican military authorities, the youth admitted to brutally killing people -- the victims all were beheaded.

The video shows a military interrogator asking themurder," Castro said.

Raul Diaz Garcia, the state human rights commissioner for Morelos state, where Cuernavaca is located, is attending the trial. Diaz said he had an opportunity to speak with the defendant.

"He seemed coherent and looks clean. He spoke with us without any trouble and was smiling. We told him that we were there in case he had any questions (about his rights)," Diaz said.

"El Ponchis" is not the only minor in Mexico allegedly involved with drug cartels. Social media pictures have surfaced in the last year showing teenagers and young men holding high-caliber assault weapons and wearing masks.

Six youths were captured in October in a town about 30 miles south of Mexico City. Graffiti in the house where they were hiding linked them to the so-called South


arguments by the prosecution and defense. There is no trial by jury in Mexico.

Christian Fragoso, a criminal defense attorney familiar with the case, says that even if prosecutors can prove a long criminal history, they will be restricted by current criminal juvenile law. "Only those crimes committed after reaching the age of 14 can be taken into account. He cannot be found guilty or sentenced for anything he did before," Fragoso says.

"El Ponchis" has been held at a state correctional facility in Cuernavaca since he was captured last December.

Public Event: Teaching and Learning Evolution in the Southeastern US

"Laboring for Science, Laboring for Souls: Obstacles and Approaches to Teaching and Learning Evolution in the Southeastern United States"

Evolution is a topic that stirs up a great deal of emotion in the public arena in the United States. The Southeastern region represents a pocket within the country where a perceived tension between religious worldviews and science is highly visible and contentious. One area where we see this manifest is in teaching and learning evolution across academic levels. Evolution in many cases is seen as taboo and a topic not to be broached. Pre-service and in-service teachers represent a front line of sorts when it comes to navigating scientific worldviews and connecting the public with science.

OPINION ON ALLOWANCE OF INTERIM FEES
BRUCE A. MARKELL, Bankruptcy Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION
Gordon Silver and Jones Vargas, two law firms, represent the debtor, Las Vegas Monorail Company ("LVMC"). Gordon Silver is LVMC's primary restructuring counsel. Jones Vargas is their special corporate counsel. LVMC's case has been long, and both law firms have requested and received interim fees under Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code.[1] On March 14, 2011, Gordon Silver filed its Third Interim Fee Application, Dkt. No. 703, in which it requestedthat relate to the redacted entries.

II. BACKGROUND
LVMC owns and operates a monorail system that traverses 3.9 miles near the Las Vegas "Strip." LVMC's system consists of an elevated track upon which fully-automated monorail cars travel between seven stations, directly serving eight hotels *555 and the Las Vegas Convention Center.[2] While expectations for the system's success were high when construction was completed in 2004, LVMC has continually failed to meet ridership projections. Despite stated and restated plans to connect to Downtown Las Vegas or the local airport, the monorail remains underutilized and faces an uncertain future.
LVMC filed for bankruptcy under chapter 11 on January 13, 2010. Despite intense negotiations with its creditors and a nascent stabilization of the Las Vegas tourism industry, nineteen months have elapsed and no plan


Snares, lethal traps, night-hunting. These are the deadly dangers that wolves face as they attempt to return to their native home of California.

Project Coyote and the Center for Biological Diversity are taking swift action to protect wolves from these lethal practices and your voice is needed now!

Read by New York artist, the 29 extant transcriptions will also be annotated with linking principle themes explored in the Arcades Project with the wild variety of subjects Benjamin

The extended radio program is a priceless glimpse into the humor and methodology of one of the most important theorists of authenticity, progress, and the political implications of new media on the masses during the earlier part of the 20th Century.

The Lord of the harvest, knowing that a crisis in the Church will appear, selects and validates His elect vessels (holy men) with authority in the Church beforehand because there mannerisms and teachings are in accordance with Holy Tradition. When a new matter appears, the flock will obey to these men with authority, that is to the saints. Besides that, under this obedience, the stance is formed by various opinions until it is crystallized in a new form of the same teaching. There isn’t a new teaching – it is the same: the life in the eternal living Christ,


Kildare lose venue appeal

Kildare have lost their appeal against the decision to play their crucial Round Four qualifier against Sligo in Dr Hyde Park. For the second successive week, Kildare were unhappy over the Central Competition Control Committee’s (CCCC) choice of venue for a qualifier match involving the county.

Yesterday the CCCC revealed that the Lillywhites would have to travel to Roscommon for their Round Four clash with beaten Connacht finalists Sligo but the county board were upset at the decision to play the match west of the Shannon and appealed to the CCCC to have the match played in either Clones or Breffni Park. However that appeal has been rejected.

Last week, county board chairman John McMahon expressed his disappointment with the CCCC after they chose to Portlaoise asto Kildare fans ire, it is also reported in today’s Irish Independent that David Coldrick will be in charge for Saturday evening’s game. The Meath referee is not held in the highest regard by many of the Lilywhite supporters as he has been involved in some of the controversial decisions that have cost the team dearly over the last few summers.

Owens steps down as Waterford manager
By Aisling Crowe

John Owens has resigned from his position as manager of the Waterford football team after three years in charge.

Owens masterminded his side’s promotion from Division Four of the National Football League in 2010, the highlight of his tenure.

Last year the Deise enjoyed a good run in the qualifiers before exiting in round three. However their championship campaign was disappointing this year.

thinking" and "the big picture" become your priority, not the nuts and bolts.

But in reality, you become like Dell, rather than Intel. In a vertically
integrated market; system builders are the kings, and parts makers are small
players trying to get their foot in the door. In a horizontally integrated
market; system builders compete on margins, while parts builders compete on
quality. And competing on margins is a good way to make peanuts.

On a sticky day in June, Eric Cromwell changed into the clothes he’d worn when he was arrested two months earlier on an assault charge and walked out of the Toronto West Detention Centre on Disco Rd.

He was given a TTC token but possessed little else.

He did have a bachelor apartment where his rent is automatically deducted from his welfare cheque, but that’s where the latest trouble had occurred. There’d been an incident with a neighbour and conditions placed on him forbid him from going anywhere near home.

He’d been in and out of jail a number of times, and on this occasion, as had been the case before, he had no home to go to. But he knew where to go. He took public transit to the Maxwellfor upon release.

His troubles began in his final year of high school, when the black man says he was accused of assaulting a classmate who had made racist comments. He was charged and expelled. Cromwell was two credits short of getting his diploma, which he never completed.

In 2003, he found himself without a home. A few years later, he served eight months for a robbery that he says was motivated by a need for drugs. Upon release, he went to stay with a relative, but after only a few days was back in jail for breaking a condition of his release and was also facing fresh charges of assault and theft.

After that stint in jail, a housing worker with the City of Toronto’s Streets to Homes program helped


because she has neither identification nor a mailing address. She has made money turning tricks and has just finished two years of probation. One of the conditions she had to abide by was to stay out of the front passenger seat of cars.

The two sit in the shade on the grounds of the Metropolitan United Church at the corner of Queen and Church. Other homeless people doze nearby on the grass. Three police officers on bicycles stop and rouse one of them and ask questions. Two of the officers know Sarah by name.

Eric says he feels fortunate because he has a support worker, but he knows of many men who cycle in and out of jail and are homeless. He says often they land back in because theyoccurring in the next 30 years. The work was supported by the National Science Foundation's Southern California Earthquake Center.

Standing with Taylissa and Jayla: Politicians and others show support for bullied Yerington teens

Taylissa Marriott and Jayla Tolliver went to school on Monday.

It was just a day after their story became front page news in the RGJ. The sisters and their parents told of the racist bullying the girls were experiencing at Yerington High School.

The school of 400 students is 90 minutes from Reno in Lyon County. Taylissa and Jayla are two of fewer than 10 black students at the high school.

On Sunday, Congressman Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev., called the family and offered support and assistance.

Other politicians used social media to show support, including Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford, who took to twitter to write, "I stand with Taylissa and Jayla."

The girls, both 14, say they have been thecould help.

"I know how hard it was for those girls to share that story and go back to school," said Lonnie Feemster, vice president of the NAACP in Nevada, Utah and Idaho and former president of the local chapter.

"But I think of Rosa Parks," Feemster said of the civil rights activist who in 1955 refused to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama.

The Nevada Department of Education said it reached out to the family and to the school to offer support.

"I feel like these things have to be addressed and discussed," said Christina McGill from the Office for a Safe & Respectful Learning Environment at the Nevada Department of Education.

She said the Washoe County School District and the ACLU also reached out to Yerington


Herb Gable, 88, opened Gable Electric 66 years ago and still goes to work every day.

It was right after World War II, in which he served as an electrician on a U.S. Navy carrier.

"They put me through electrical school, and my wife had a good business mind so she said, 'Lets start a business. It worked out very well," said Gable.

Gable and his employees, Rick Hendrickson and apprentice Michael White not only fix things, they sell lamps and such -- many homemade. In a shop that kind of looks like a museum, you have to be careful when you move.

"It hurts my feelings I know how the owner is. He'll give you anything," said Hendrickson.

It was Hendrickson who discovered the two destroyed air conditioners on the roof, apparentlyThe Shadow Temple is a Dungeon in Ocarina of Time.[1]

Entrance to the Temple

The entrance is found in the back of the Kakariko Village Graveyard in a little alcove only accessible using the Nocturne of Shadow. Said song is taught to Link by Sheik after Bongo Bongo is freed from its imprisonment in Kakariko Village.

Themes and Navigation

The Shadow Temple was historically a place used by the Sheikah to interrogate and torture enemies of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Because of the dark stain on Hyrule's history that it represents, it is taboo for the Royal Family to speak of the Shadow Temple.[2] Consequently, some of the walls and floors are stained with blood, and torture equipment is located in several rooms.

In comparison to other temples, the Shadow Temple guides


Link through a straight route, except in some parts where the young hero has to deviate in order to find keys or an item. It has four descending floors, following a similar trait to the Bottom of the Well, and it looks like an enlarged catacomb. The temple is filled with undead creatures, deadly twisted traps, and mind-bending puzzles everywhere all designed to trap anyone who enters the crypt. It is also filled to the brim with invisible walls and passageways only visible using the Lens of Truth. Many concealed Skulltulas hang in rooms and corridors within the temple's walls. Link's goal is to go to the bottom of the temple, where Bongo Bongo is found; because of the temple's mostly linear structure, its difficulty is based onmain changes to the dungeon involves the type and number of enemies encountered. The number of Beamos and Keese has been increased, and there are fewer Skulltulas than before. The order in which the rooms are visited is still the same, and the Hover Boots are less useful than in the original quest. Instead of a Floormaster, there are now Blue Bubbles and a Like Like in the room with invisible walls. There is now a silver Rupee puzzle in the invisible reaper room, and one of the reaper statues constanty changes the speed of its swirling scythes. One of the rooms with giant rotating skulls now contains Stalfos, which give a reward of 20 Rupees when defeated. The most notorious change is a room with several Bomb

Part of the overhaul is expected to involve rebooting the Moynihan Station plan that involves transferring Amtrak's waiting area to the neighboring James A.

Cuomo's plan will focus on bringing more light and air to the labyrinthine terminal that's often likened to hell.

Voters turned out in larger numbers than expected Saturday to choose a new president to lead them into the post-American era.

Voters turned out in larger numbers than expected Saturday to choose a new president to lead them into the post-American era.

Voters turned out in larger numbers than expected Saturday to choose a new president to lead them into the post-American era.

They huddled in the rain under plastic sheeting. They ignored death threats and sporadic firefights. After weeks of tension and violence, men and women turned out here Saturday in larger numbers than expected to choose a new president to lead them into the post-American era in Afghanistan.

Conducted under armed guard, the country’s third presidential election since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001 unfolded without the large-scale attacksor major disruptions that many Afghans had feared, although scores of minor attacks were reported. As the process moves to a vote count that could take weeks and, potentially, lead to a second-round runoff, voters and observers expressed relief that the day had ended in relative peace.

“The turnout was far beyond what we had imagined,” said Zia ul-Haq Amarkhail, a senior Afghan election official, as polls closed.

The election brings Afghanistan a step closer to the first peaceful and democratic transfer of power in the history of the country, where presidents and kings more often leave dead or deposed. Whoever moves into the presidential palace, though, will face a thriving Taliban insurgency, deeply ingrained government corruption and the need to negotiate a future relationship with the departing United States,


which has propped up and paid for the Afghan government and its soldiers and police for a dozen years.

The vote also marks the first time since Sept. 11, 2001, that the incoming leader will not be Hamid Karzai.

The last time around, in the summer of 2009, when Karzai prevailed in a vote discredited by widespread fraud and low turnout, the day also seemed at first to have gone well. It took some time, even after complaints started pouring in, to understand that the scale of the ballot-stuffing and violence had been large enough to change the outcome. The most obvious early problems Saturday were that some polling stations appeared to run out of ballots and that in rural areas where the insurgency is strong, many people were toofrightened to vote.

Election Day dawned cold and drizzly in Kabul. Residents made their way to ballot boxes in schools and mosques, navigating desolate streets guarded by thousands of police officers and soldiers. In some locations, polls opened as much as an hour late, but voters soon assembled in long, orderly lines to drop their ballots in plastic tubs and then dip their fingers in purple ink.

Afghans who have lived through decades of war spoke of their hopes for peace, better schools, more jobs. Using a side entrance reserved for female voters, Zakia Raoufi, a 45-year-old housewife, voted at the same school her son graduated from three years ago, and Karzai years before that. It was the first time in three days that she had left her house, she


and foreign minister. But Abdullah Abdullah, another former foreign minister, and Ashraf Ghani, a former finance minister and World Bank official, attracted large crowds at their rallies. If no one wins more than 50 percent of the vote, the two top finishers will face off in a second round, perhaps as soon as next month.

In the last election, Abdullah dropped out after weeks of political crisis instead of competing in a runoff against Karzai, saying that the process was too corrupted to be fair. If fraud becomes a theme this time, one key question is whether the candidates will urge their followers into the streets to contest the result.

Voter turnout declined in the last election as the insurgency gained strength. In 2009, after more than 1 million fraudulent votes were thrown out, election observers calculated


that, out of more than 15 million registered, about 4.5 million people had voted — about half the turnout in 2004. The Independent Election Commission estimated Saturday evening that about 7 million people voted this time.

Several polling stations reported that they ran out of ballots because so many voters turned up. At the Wazir Akbar Khan mosque in Kabul, not far from the U.S. Embassy, the site shut down once its 1,800 ballots had been used. Mohammad Wazir, the head of the polling site, said that under new rules instituted this year to prevent fraud, sites were not allowed to borrow ballots from nearby locations if they ran out.

In Washington, President Obama congratulated Afghans on their participation in what he called “historic elections.” The vote, he said, represents“another important milestone in Afghans taking full responsibility for their country as the United States and our partners draw down our forces.”

Throughout the day, reports of violence came in from the provinces. Interior Minister Omar Daudzai said Saturday afternoon that there had been 140 attacks across the country in the previous 24 hours and that nine police officers, seven soldiers and 89 insurgents had been killed. A Taliban spokesman said the movement’s fighters had launched 246 attacks, most of them targeting polling sites, but that number was not confirmed. In Konar province, 16 people, half of them Afghan security personnel, were wounded in fighting or explosions, officials said. And in Logar province, four voters were reported to have been wounded in an explosion.

The violence prevented nearly 1,000 polling


stations — or about one in six nationwide — from opening, officials said.

There were also attempts at cheating. The Interior Ministry said that at least 14 people, including six government officials, had been arrested for attempted fraud. A woman and three men in Khost province were also arrested after being accused of trying to cast 1,067 votes for their preferred candidate.

Earlier Saturday at a command center in Wardak province, a Taliban stronghold, Afghan police officers and soldiers updated a map to keep track of a slew of insurgent activities. There had been no deadly attacks, making the day a relative success in terms of security, but the mood was still tense. Across the province, 120 polling centers were open, all of them with some level of protection fromGabriele Cattani

The 73-year-old Goodfellas actor was attending an awards ceremony in New York celebrating the work of silent film comic Charlie Chaplin when he took aim at the US president.

The Hollywood Reporter said he told the crowd the award's subject was "an immigrant who probably wouldn't pass today's 'extreme vetting'".

"I hope we're not keeping out the next Chaplin," De Niro added.

Chaplin, who hailed from London and moved to Los Angeles in 1913, was later exiled from the US for supposedly supporting communism during the witch-hunts of the McCarthy era.

In the years following


WWI, he became one of the biggest stars in the world, founded a film studio and made several films that are still ranked as among the greatest ever made.

President Trump's travel ban restricts immigration from six mainly-Muslim countries and halts admission of Syrian refugees into the US.

De Niro also said Mr Trump's administration was making "mean-spirited" cuts to arts programmes.

Image: In the 1910s, Chaplin was among the biggest stars in the world

He claimed the President's recent plan to scrap the National Endowment for the Arts, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Humanities, was for his administration's "own divisive political purposes".

The three agencies were eventually spared for the time being.

Others who attended the event included Meryl Streep, Martin Scorsese, Harvey Keitel, Michael Douglas, Ben"I don't want any animosity over this," Wicks said. "I just want people to be informed. I want people to understand."

Wildwood Park Community Club president Bill Jost said the City of Winnipeg told the club's board several months ago about the MTS proposal.

Jost said the board wanted to explore the possibility of the tower because MTS would make a nominal one-time payment to the club to help it improve its facilities.

But Jost and fellow board member Kevin Stefanson said the final decision on the tower will be left up to the community, not the board or city.

"That's where it will live or die," Jost said.

MTS spokeswoman Selena Hinds said the proposed site is the best place to improve wireless reception for clients in the Wildwood Park area, which


hugs the Red River in Fort Garry. MTS hopes to have the tower in service by the end of May.

"The tower that we plan to put up will look like a large flagpole," she said. "It's about half the size of other towers in the area. It's smaller than most mature trees. We'll also be working with a landscape architect to help the tower blend into the community."

The fight by residents against the tower is not unique to Wildwood Park or Winnipeg.

Many communities, particularly in British Columbia and Ontario, are fighting against cellphone towers near schools, playgrounds and residential areas because some research indicates the emission of radio-frequency radiation causes biological effects linked to cancer and other diseases.

Hinds said the proposed MTS tower is well within the guidelineson emissions as set by Industry Canada and Health Canada.

"This particular wireless site is in fact many thousand times lower than the guidelines," she said.

The City of Toronto has recommended a "prudent avoidance policy" be adopted for siting of telecommunication towers and antennas in that city and in 2005, the Vancouver School Board banned cellphone antennas within 300 metres of existing schools.

Wicks said school and municipal officials should take a similar stand here. The proposed MTS tower is near St. John's-Ravenscourt School.

"How many cellular towers are required in a neighbourhood?" she asked. "The more you have, the more the health concerns rise. I don't understand how it's OK to have two transmission towers in one neighbourhood."

Fadi and Yara overcame countless obstacles to be together, but their wedding plans have been upended by Israeli bombs.

Gaza Strip – When Palestinians ventured out of their homes on Tuesday, following Israel’s latest round of air raids on Gaza, they noticed an extraordinary scene near the bombed-out remains of the al-Rahma building.

Hanging in the bedroom of a partially destroyed apartment was a wedding dress, covered in dirt and punctured with shrapnel.

As crowds grew and looked on in amazement, little did they know that the dress carried a five-year story of love, tragedy and determination.

In 2013, Fadi al-Ghazali, a 22-year-old from Gaza, met Yara al-Zoubi, a 21-year-old from the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun on Facebook, a woman who he says he immediately fell in love with.

{articleGUID}

“I knew shewas my soulmate from the first moment,” Fadi told Al Jazeera.

“She has seen things the human mind cannot imagine. I had also survived all three wars on Gaza in 2008, 2012 and 2014. So, I understood her.”

Despite facing geographical and political obstructions, the couple were determined to meet each another.

“Our dream was to get together, a dream that everyone mocked because I live in the besieged Gaza Strip and she was living in war-torn Syria,” he said. “It was impossible.”

Within a short time, Fadi proposed to Yara, and his family in turn contacted hers to arrange their engagement.

“I asked her parents for their blessing and they welcomed me into the family with open arms.”

Everything we needed was ready; the house, the furniture, the wedding dress ... We were


chemical attack that claimed the lives of at least 83 people, a third of them children.

When local residents heard Yara’s story and saw what happened to her home and dress, the entire community banded together.

A wedding planner, a hotelier, a florist, photographers, tailors and others offered their services for free.

A group of philanthropists gave them gifts to ensure their wedding would happen on time.

However, with Gaza’s future still uncertain and violence a frequent reality, the couple said they were afraid of resuming their wedding arrangements only to wake up and find it all under rubble and destruction again.The Americas

Thanks to the boom in shale gas, the US chemical market in particular has been undergoing a renaissance since 2009. Over the past few years, annual chemical production in the Americas has risen by 3.6 percent on average. Investments have climbed 10 percent during the same period. The chemical industry on the other side of the Atlantic is dominated by two countries. The US chemical sector accounts for 90 percent of chemical sales in North America. The main player in South America is Brazil, which represents 51 percent of chemical sales there.
