Getty Images For decades, the NFL has tied its Sunday afternoon TV deals to the league’s two conferences. Soon, that could be going away. Variety reports, via SportsMediaWatch.com, that the league and its network partners already have discussed eliminating the conference affiliations for the Sunday afternoon games. This would give the NFL maximum flexibility to schedule the best games for the best spots, with an eye toward selecting optimal late-afternoon, nationally-televised games that currently rotate between FOX and CBS. Subject to periodic cross-flexing, which has emerged in recent years, FOX currently is tied to the NFC, and has been since taking the NFC package from CBS in 1994. CBS later claimed the AFC package from NBC, which exited the NFL broadcast business for several years before securing in 2006 the rights toSunday Night Football. The Monday Night Football rights, currently held by ESPN, expire after the 2021 season. All other arrangements — the Sunday afternoon windows, Sunday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football — expire after the 2022 season.

(as he said). When the theme park he was apart was about to close, he planned to go beyond being a park attraction, but was abandoned inside for many years with his wife Teenie, who was the laughing machine, stacked on top of him. Once Dorothy and the Scarecrow enter the amusement park, he cried for help to get their attention. Once they pushed Teenie off of him, he told them that he doesn't have a heart and wants one so he can love all humanity. Dorothy invited him to come and see the Wiz. Once they oiled him up, he became a part of their session. The Tin Woodman was turned to stone along with the other Ozians until Dorothy Gale returned to Oz and rescued him, afterwhich he was reanimated and happily greeted his friend from Kansas. (Return to Oz) The Tin Woodman’s design was based very closely on John R. Neill's original drawings of the strange creature with spindly legs, a pail for a head, a funnel for a hat and a water boiler for a torso--making it virtually impossible to be constructed in such a way that a normal sized actor could be placed inside. So, a dwarf was used instead to control the movements while inside the Tin Woodman's torso.

The bags contained Nerds Rope candy infused with a high dosage of THC, the Roy City Police Department said on Facebook Ferrara Candy Company, the parent company of Nerds, called the product a counterfeit and said it is not affiliated with their company.

Due to large trawlers from nearby Shanghai, the fishing supply was depleted and forced the residents to find work elsewhere. Photographer and videographer Joe Nafis visited the area last year with fellow photographer Dave Tacon. It took them nearly 36 hours to reach the village due to lack of ferries or connection with other towns in the area. Once in town, Nafis explored the area on foot, as well as from above with his drone. You can view drone footage from the photographer’s visit to the overgrown village in the video below.

Rodolfo Montoya entered a no contest plea Monday to two felony counts of criminal threats, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said in a news release He could spend up to three years and eight months in state prison, the release says. The 37-year-old worked at a Marriott Hotel restaurant in Long Beach and was planning to shoot his coworkers and guests there, city police said in August. Police said that a co-worker who tipped them off about Montoya potentially saved lives, CNN affiliate KTLA reported.

(40) and Tony Gray (17), with the home side only lasting 32 overs for 124. The game was well-advanced at 5.30pm on Saturday, before it sped up dramatically thanks to the swing king, David Sewell. His six wickets for four runs, coupled with Bevan Wilson's three for 13, brought Otago Country to their knees, as they plumbed the embarrassing depths of a completed innings of just 19 runs. The match was not in the bag for North Otago though, with a treacherous couple of overs before stumps on Saturday. However, North Otago started Sunday with no marks in the wickets column, which gave them a sniff of the victory. However, tight lines from Country bowlers Brendon Domigan and Fraser Wilson meant the chase was fraught with danger, and it wasn't until Waldronwas joined by Robbie Smith that the game seemed even remotely safe. The pair put on 34 runs in testing conditions, with patience finally appearing in North Otago's batting game. The lavish drives were shelved, replaced by gentle deflections and quick singles, and the cautious approached worked with Smith only being dismissed a few runs short of the total. Waldron did the rest, and North Otago went to their early Sunday lunch with a victory that seemed more than unlikely just a few cricketing hours before. Some cricket captains would be worried when their team loses quick wickets to be all out 60 runs behind the opposition on the first innings. But North Otago captain Jarrod Waldron had no such thoughts at the weekend. In fact, the Dunedin-based all-rounder had what he called a

Players like John Amaechi, who related one tale of his playing days: I played for a team in Utah for example where our owner, I think he has passed away since, ran into our locker room when the film ‘Brokeback Mountain' came out and screamed at everybody that he wasn't going to let that film play on his cinemas and he happened to own most of the cinemas in Salt Lake City. That's a not too subtle way of letting everybody know where he stands on the position of homosexuality and it's not the kind of thing that inspires you to then stand upare the players — those gay stars — who have all the power right now. To come out would force the discussion, force biased observers to overcome their prejudices.

(@AmbassadorPower) October 26, 2016 General Assembly resolutions are nonbinding and unenforceable. But the 24-year-old exercise in which the U.N. overwhelmingly votes to condemn the embargo has given Cuba a global stage to demonstrate America's isolation on its Cuba policy. The administration had considered abstaining from the vote last year, but concluded it could not do so because the resolution did not reflect what it considered to be the spirit of engagement between Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro. The 2015 vote ended up 191-2 to condemn the commercial, economic and financial embargo against Cuba; it was the highest number of votes ever for the measure. Only Israel joined the United States in opposing the resolution.

(MANPADS) that had gone missing in Libya. Glen Doherty, one of the former Navy SEALs who was killed in the Benghazi terrorist attack, was working in Libya for the state department to find and destroy the MANPADS, capable of shooting down commercial airliners. Meanwhile at the consulate, with Benghazi still flooded with weapons from the war, Ambassador Stevens and U.S. embassy staff were becoming increasingly concerned for their safety. Security threats were on the rise in the months leading up to the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. As noted earlier, Ambassador Stevens’ last meeting was with the Turkish consul general and at least one source has suggested the meeting was to negotiate a weapons transfer; specifically, SA-7 MANPAD missiles from Libyan fighters. Interestingly, a week prior tothe attack, a Libyan ship docked in Turkey with a large amount of weapons, including SA-7 MANPADS, bound for Syria. While the official reason given for Ambassador Stevens being in Benghazi on such an important anniversary is that he was to be present at the opening of a new English-language school, it seems he was there to do his job as a liaison for the Libyan rebels. Considering the fact that the U.S. has armed Libya before, the secret order President Obama authored at the start of the new Libyan war may have included giving weapons to the Libyans once again. However, as the weapons quickly ended up in the hands of al Qaeda, the United States would have been urgently seeking to recover them; not only due to

(Heather Graham), Cooper plunged into the Black Lodge, the otherworldly locus of evil from which emanated the dark forces plaguing Twin Peaks. He never made it out, and was instead overtaken by a Lodge-minted doppelgänger. In the wrenching final shot of the series, the doppelgänger looks into a shattered mirror and reveals the face of Bob (Frank Silva), the spirit who raped and murdered Laura Palmer while inhabiting the body of her father, Leland (Ray Wise). The plot of Twin Peaks is never easy to convey on paper, but the significance of that reveal was clear enough: Our pure-hearted hero had been overtaken by the very essence of malice and cruelty. And thanks to ABC, which canceled the series just two seasons into its run, he seemed fatedeffects of age underscore the melancholy of a place where so much time has passed and yet so little has changed or improved.

(e.g.Louisa / Miss Burma) to the international level – play into each other. At an individual level, each member of the family finds his or her life intruded upon by the nation’s conflicts. Benny ends up a prisoner of war of the Japanese and then later a prisoner of the Burman ruling regime. He feels beholden to the Karens because of a combination of factors involving repaying of debt, familial obligation, and friendship. Louisa ends up in the pageant – in part — because of the question of whether the leaders and Burman citizens are really serious enough about unity to allow a non-Burman into that high-status role. At a national level, there is a rapid succession of changing situations. First, the country needs to thwart the Japanese invasion.Next, they must throw off the British colonial yoke, and, finally, Burma must figure out what kind of nation (or nations) it will become. The Burman leader wants to consolidate the country, while many tribal groups, including the Karen, want independence. Benny’s family is tied up in this conflict, in part, because of their Karen connection, but also the fact that Benny was able to exploit the post-war economy to his advantage and became rich after the war. This makes him, and his family, both important and simultaneously loved and despised. At the international level, America and other global powers have interests in keeping Burma from disintegrating into tribal sub-states. In the early post-war period, these interests are largely economic, and involve the preference to have a solitary trading

(RNS) — A few weeks ago I was in a Deseret Book store in Utah and found the Scripture section predictably divided into four subsections: one bookshelf each for the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. Within the D&C area's dozens of offerings were two books — just two books! — devoted to the Pearl of Great Price, the other "standard work" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A brief hodgepodge of several genres, it contains two books of Scripture purporting to be authored by Old Testament prophets (the Book of Moses and the Book of Abraham), a historical reminiscence by Joseph Smith, a creedal statement from the early church and other miscellany. The Pearl of Great Price isthe only standard work to not receive at least a year in the church's four-year study cycle: The Bible gets two years (one for the Hebrew Bible, one for the New Testament), the Book of Mormon gets one, and the D&C gets one. The Pearl of Great Price gets occasional references when some of its verses confirm or complement elements in the other, better known, standard works, but is otherwise understudied, underpreached and underutilized. Maybe now that will start to change. Terryl Givens' latest book, "The Pearl of Greatest Price: Mormonism's Most Controversial Scripture," takes on the history and theology of this neglected volume, arguing that members of the church ignore it at their peril. — JKR You’ve articulated so well something I have felt for a long time: The

in January by letter to his attorney. The letter summarized the outcry witness's testimony. The trial began in April. Appellant had sufficient notice of the testimony. Point of error two is overruled. In his third and fourth points, appellant complains that the trial court erred in admitting into evidence an involuntary statement which was allegedly obtained in violation of his Miranda rights. Ms. Bachicha, a caseworker for the Texas Department of Human Services, testified that she took appellant's statement when he came into the office with his girlfriend, the child victim's mother. Ms. Bachicha testified that she did not consider him under arrest nor did she have the authority to make an arrest. After a complaint is made, it is DHS policy to take a statement from a potential abuser in order tointerrogation purposes. United States v. Phelps, 443 F.2d 246 (5th Cir. 1971). The determination of custody is made upon the totality of the circumstances. Here, both appellant and Ms. Bachica testified that he voluntarily returned to DHS the second day. Ms. Bachicha was not a law enforcement officer and could not force him to return to the DHS. He came by his own persuasion. Appellant asserts in his brief that Ms. Bachicha, as DHS agent, coerced and induced him to make the incriminating statement. He asserts that his statement was taken under the premise that Ms. Bachicha would help him regain custody of his future step-daughter. Ms. Bachicha testified that she informed appellant that he had the right to terminate the interview at any time and that he was free to leave.

(CNN) An attempt from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to block the release of President Donald Trump's taxes would be "inappropriate and probably illegal," according to Mnuchin's predecessor Lawrence Summers. "The appropriate response of the treasury secretary is very clear: Under a long-standing delegation order, the secretary does not get involved in taxpayer-specific matters and has delegated to the IRS commissioner as follows: 'The Commissioner of Internal Revenue shall be responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Internal Revenue laws,'" Summers, who served under President Bill Clinton, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published Monday. Summers, a Harvard professor who also served as an economic adviser to President Barack Obama, said that the delegation is not "readily revocable" and Mnuchin, under law, would have to notify the relevant committees ifThere’s No Such Thing as a Pitching Prospect: The Story of Generation K They were supposed to be stars, to save the Mets from the doldrums of the post-Strawberry-Gooden-years.

Officers entered the business through the open door to make sure it had not been burglarized or broken into. While inside the business looking for unauthorized subjects, the officers found what they suspected to be marijuana lying out in open view of the officers.

From the manifesto “Art concret” of Theo van Doesburg Bill adopted the term “concrete” to convey the idea that a work of art does not derive from nature but is an autonomous reality composed of colour and form, an “object for intellectual and spiritual use”.

(CNN) -- The president of the Central African Republic has fled the country's capital and rebels have seized control of the city, a government official said Sunday. President Francois Bozize crossed into the Democratic Republic of Congo, said Jules Gautier Ngbapo, a spokesman for the government's territorial administration minister. He declined to disclose Bozize's location Sunday. Read more: What's behind the unrest? "The Central African Republic has just opened a new page in its history," said a written statement from Justin Kombo Moustapha, secretary general of the Seleka rebels. The statement described Bozize as the country's former president and urged residents of the landlocked country to remain calm and prepare themselves to welcome rebel forces. Word of Bozize's surprise departure came as violence erupted in the capital, Bangui. Read more: Who are Seleka? Witnesses reportedhours of gunfire, and Ngbapo said at least seven civilians were killed as rebels and local residents looted shops. Some South African soldiers were killed in clashes, according to a statement from the office of French President Francois Hollande. South African officials could not be immediately reached for comment. A United Nations spokeswoman based in Bangui described the situation as confusing and very tense. "A number of U.N. offices have been looted as well as residences of some U.N. personnel," spokeswoman Uwolowulakana Ikavi said. Sounds of fierce gunfire rang out for hours Sunday, she said. The country has been on edge since rebel fighters pushed their way into the capital. The wave of unrest started in December, when the Seleka rebel coalition launched its offensive.

Getting Syndergaard back would be huge for the Mets, who are coming off of a dreadful month of June. The team went 5-21 in the month, and it got so bad that fans began wearing bags on their heads at games, ala 1970s New Orleans Saints fans. Syndergaard last pitched on May 25 before going on the disabled list with a strained ligament in his finger. The Mets initially hoped he would only miss one start, but with this being the Mets there were predictably complications. He threw a bullpen session at one point and suffered swelling in the finger the next day. When healthy, Syndergaard has been very effective for the team. He has a 3.06 ERA on the season with 74 strikeouts in 64.1 innings pitched. He hasGermany as King until his mysterious death in 1864. You will no doubt recognize one of his greatest and unfinished accomplishments as the Disney castle but is properly known as Neuschwanstein Castle.

The selvage, or text outside of the stamp images, features the current block-letter Wonder Woman logo in white against a comic book style power burst rendered in shades of blue. On the first row of stamps Wonder Woman of the Modern Age wields a hammer with a power and determination befitting her roots in the heroic world of Greek mythology. The Bronze Age Wonder Woman’s bold stance empowers the second row of stamps. With her fist held high and bulletproof bracelets gleaming, the Amazon princess leads the charge against injustice. The third row of stamps depicts Wonder Woman during the Silver Age. Although she possesses great strength and speed, the world’s favorite superheroine prefers compassion to the use of bruteforce. With her golden lasso of truth close at hand, she compels honesty from her foes. In the last row of stamps, Wonder Woman from the Golden Age bursts onto the scene as originally envisioned by creator William Moulton Marston. Art director Greg Breeding of Charlottesville, VA, designed the stamp pane.

A letter signed by IBM VP and technology officer Mark S. Anzani and addressed to TurboHercules co-founder Roger Bowler detailed the more than 170 patents the company allegedly infringed upon. The problem: two of the patents in question were part of a 500-patent access pledge made by IBM in 2005.

The development of the publication drew on two expert group meetings held in Vienna, in October 2011 and February 2012, with the participation of Member State representatives, institutions and individual experts. Launched in October 2012, UNODC's technical assistance tool aims to provide practical guidance for policy makers, investigators and prosecutors on effective criminal justice responses to cases involving the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes. The publication takes stock of cases where the Internet is used as a tool for the glorification of terrorist acts, incitement, recruitment and radicalization, financing, training, planning and the commission of terrorist attacks, and provides an overview of the applicable legal good practices identified in the conduct of investigations, evidence gathering and prosecution of such cases, while exploring potential opportunities to strengthenin the prosecution of alleged perpetrators. The publication focuses on the legal issues surrounding cases where terrorist use the Internet as a tool rather than a means of attack. As such, it does not cover all uses of the internet for terrorist purposes, and the issues of cyber-crime, including cyber attacks, and cyber security are specifically excluded from its scope. The Use of the Internet for Terrorist Purposes is not intended to serve as a policy paper but rather as a practical tool in support of UNODC's capacity building activities in this emerging thematic area, as well as a stand-alone resource for practitioners.

The vernacular television journalist chose to wear his Kannada identity on his sleeve and his microphone. During a press conference on Monday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had pointed out that he was aware of the role played by the electronic media. "Please cooperate in the interest of the state,'' he had said, without going into specifics. "As a journalist, I am embarrassed,'' said Sugata Raju, editorial director of the Asianet group, that publishes the daily Kannada Prabha and broadcasts Suvarna News, a Kannada news channel.

The appellee's deceased husband, Roy Shapiro, was an employee of the State of Kansas from 1937 until the date of his death May 29, 1967, except for the period of time he was on active military duty during World War II. Mr. Shapiro became the State Controller in 1953 and continued to serve in that position until his death at the age of 55 years. Mr. Shapiro's death was the result of an acute coronary occlusion. He was described by fellow workers as a very intense person who was concerned about his job. He was a perfectionist. Testimony showed Shapiro worked long hours and was very punctual. On the day of his death, Shapiro was describedby some who saw him as "wan", "pallid", "distracted", "tense", and "abrupt". In addition to his regular job as State Controller, Shapiro was also a member of the Board of Trustees of KPERS and a member of the school budget review board which conducted many hearings. On the day of his death Shapiro worked in the Statehouse all day until the late afternoon, when he went directly to Dr. Louis Cohen's office pursuant to an appointment with the doctor.

(as did John Denver and Tanya Tucker), while Bette Midler, Everly Brothers, Swamp Dogg and, later, the Highwaymen also recorded Prine-penned songs. Being in the spotlight didn't come naturally. "I had a difficult time listening back to them because I was so nervous," he told Fresh Air about his early records. "I didn't expect to do this for a living, be a recording artist. I was just playing music for the fun of it and writing songs to ... that was kind of my escape, you know, from the humdrum of the world." But Prine's early success allowed him to start approaching his career on his own terms. With manager Al Bunetta, he formed the independent label Oh Boy Records in 1981, launching it with a Christmas single, "I SawMommy Kissing Santa Claus." Prine slowed down his output in the '80s and '90s but expanded his sonic purview, co-writing "Jackie O" with John Cougar Mellencamp for the latter's hit 1983 LP Uh-Huh and collaborating with members of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers for his 1991 album The Missing Years, which won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album. (Prine also won in the same category for 2005's Fair & Square.) Starting in the mid-'90s, Prine also dealt with several serious health issues. He had a cancerous tumor in his neck removed in 1996, successfully beat lung cancer in 2013 and had a heart stent implanted in 2019. In 2018, he admitted to NPR's Terry Gross that his 1996 cancer surgery changed his voice. "It dropped down lower, and it

The Pro League also started to market itself on the talents of its Trinidad and Tobago players, both experienced and young talents. In 2009, the league witnessed a return of several former national team stars, which included Stern John, Russell Latapy, Dennis Lawrence, and Dwight Yorke. In addition, several more Pro League players made a significant impact on the league after spending a majority of their career on the twin-island Republic. In the 2009 season, Arnold Dwarika of United Petrotrin became the first Trinidadian player to score 100 Pro League goals. However, Kerry Baptiste soon became the second domestic playerre-admitted to increase Pro League membership back to nine. Although several expansion clubs struggled to maintain their Pro League existence for more than a few seasons, Central FC established itself as Central region rivals to W Connection after challenging the Savonetta Boys for the 2013–14 TT Pro League championship – finishing runners-up and five points behind. Consequently, Central became the first expansion club in the Pro League to qualify for the CFU Club Championship. The Sharks also claimed their first two pieces of silverware in their second season after winning the 2013 First Citizens Cup and 2014 Lucozade Sport Goal Shield.

It was only when Asushunamir brought orders from Ea, king of the gods to give the Waters of Life to Asushunamir that Ishtar was freed. Asushunamir sprinkled Ishtar with the water, cleansing her of the diseases that Namtar had given her. Now that she had essentially been bailed out, Ishtar left through the 7 gates. She was given her clothes back one garment at a time until she was out of the final gate fully clothed. Now, why did Ea care so much to send Asushunamir to save her?

( ABC: Melanie Pearce ) Woollahra was a powerful player in the fight against the NSW Government's forced merger, with its claim making its way to the High Court in Canberra. Woollahra and another council with a prestigious Sydney postcode, Hunters Hill, had sometimes been considered at an unfair advantage in fighting their mergers as relatively wealthy councils. Hunters Hill Mayor Richard Quinn said his council had spent nearly $300,000 fighting forced amalgamation and he would be seeking those legal costs back from the State Government. Councillor Quinn said every council across the state spent money for possible mergers, which was an unwelcome distraction from local governance.

In a recent series of papers David Sanson and Ben Caplan (2010, Caplan and Sanson 2011) argue that all extant forms of the easy road are explanatorily deficient. Tensed properties, abstract entities and so on do not adequately explain why it is that truths about the past are true. And, as David Liggins (2005) and Ian McFetridge (1990) have argued, there is good reason to suppose that truthmaking is (at least) constrained by explanation: what it is to make something true is, at least in part, to explain why it's true. The Sanson and Caplan line effectively shuts down the easy road: on their view, the only entities capable of explaining why truths about the past are true are past entities.

We have before us only the dismissal of Does' claims against the church defendants. We affirm the trial court's dismissal of those claims. FACTS In Doe's second amended complaint against the several defendants, Doe alleged she was a former parishioner at Holy Redeemer where Evans was employed as a pastor responsible for providing counseling and spiritual advice to parishioners having marital difficulties. Doe alleged Evans approached her and asked to assist her with counseling, spawning a pastoral counselor-counselee relationship that endured from December 27, 1991, to February of 1992. Doe allegedthe Diocese, Schofield, and Holy Redeemer were aware of prior incidents involving sexual misconduct during counseling by Evans at another church, within the Diocese, and at Holy Redeemer. Despite this knowledge, nothing was done to rectify the situation. Doe alleged Schofield and the Diocese had control over hiring, firing, compensation, and discipline of priests including Evans. Doe alleged a cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty against all defendants, asserting Evans breached the duty owed to Doe by becoming romantically involved with her in a manner that made it impossible for Evans to adequately keep Doe's interests paramount.

(CNN) For years, Jasmine Cornett wandered the streets of San Francisco looking for her uncle Wayne, whom she hadn't seen since she was 12 years old. She often snapped photos of the homeless people she saw and sent them to her father and her aunt Lisa, asking if maybe this time she'd caught a glimpse of Wayne. Each time they texted back and said it wasn't him. Then one day in August, while sitting in her office, the recruiter got an e-mail with a short video from a nonprofit called Miracle Messages saying they had found her uncle. She immediately forwarded the video to her father and aunt. The unkempt man with a scraggly, gray beard had the right eyes. It's Wayne, her father said. Everyone is someone's somebody Kevin Adler is theman behind Miracle Messages, the nonprofit that helped reunite Wayne and Jasmine. It has done the same for nearly 200 other families since December of 2014. Miracle Messages' premise is simple. Volunteers with the organization canvas city streets looking for homeless people and ask if there's someone to whom they'd like to address a short video message. Adler was inspired by growing up with his own uncle, named Mark, who also frequently experienced homelessness.

(CNN) -- A New Orleans grand jury that declined to indict a doctor on charges that she murdered patients in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina never heard testimony from five medical experts brought in by the state to analyze the deaths. Memorial Medical Center had to be evacuated after floodwaters flowed through New Orleans in 2005. All five concluded that as many as nine patients were victims of homicide. In detailed, written statements, the five specialists -- whose expertise includes forensic medicine, medical ethics and palliative care -- determined that patients at Memorial Medical Center had been deliberately killed with overdoses of drugs after Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005. The grand jury had been asked to consider second-degree murder charges against a doctor and two nurses in four deaths. Butwere "stable, without an immediate or obvious threat of dying." Dr. Michael Baden, a forensic pathologist from New York, also concluded that all nine patients died from drug overdoses. "It is further my opinion that the circumstances surrounding these simultaneous deaths mandate a homicidal manner of death," Baden wrote. Wecht was the first expert hired by Foti on the recommendation of New Orleans Parish Coroner Frank Minyard. When Jordan took over the case, he ordered Minyard to hire additional experts. Caplan was asked to review the work of Baden, Brescia, Wecht and Young.

(CNN) The search for two Americans who went missing last week after renting a Jet Ski in Barbados was called off by the country's coast guard on Sunday, Roy Morris, press secretary to Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, told CNN. The United States, which was helping with the search, withdrew its assisting aircraft on Saturday, Morris also said. Oscar Suarez, 32 and Magdalena Devil, 25, rented the Jet Ski from a local company at Holetown Beach in Barbados on June 24. When they didn't return 20 minutes later, the operators became worried and contacted other operators in the area to search for them, according to police. Both were wearing life jackets when they were last seen.

Q&A Why is recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital so contentious? Show Hide Of all the issues at the heart of the enduring conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, none is as sensitive as the status of Jerusalem. The holy city has been at the centre of peace-making efforts for decades. Seventy years ago, when the UN voted to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, Jerusalem was defined as a separate entity under international supervision. In the war of 1948 it was divided, like Berlin in the cold war, into western and eastern sectors under Israeli and Jordanian control respectively. Nineteen years later, in June 1967, Israel captured the eastern side,

From the Windsor Star's Jim Parker (@winstarparker): Windsor #Spitfires HC Bob Boughner said Alex Fotinos didn't start in goal Tuesday because he was battling the flu. — Jim Parker (@winstarparker) March 26, 2014 Every goalie in junior hockey is going to be hung out to dry by his team at some point, and the reality is the only acceptable response sometimes is to stick it out. The game was a farce, with London scoring three short-handed goals and building an 8-1 lead despite Windsor receiving the game's first seven powerplays (the Spitfires lost two of their best defencemen to season-ending injuries, and simply haven't been able to contain the Memorial Cup host Knights). One can only presume what emotions welled up inside Kuchmey. A hometown Windsor native, the 19-year-old began the year at the top of the Spitfires depth chart before the club swung a pair of goalie trades and added 18-year-old Alex Fotinos, a former high draft pick of the Barrie Colts. To go from that promising start to his season to taking it on the chin, well, one can understand why his flight response would kick in. As strange as the story is, as much as people might get a laugh out of it, that has to be acknowledged. Before you all attack Kuchmey, remember what tragedies

(CNN) One crew member wrote her mother an email saying the crew was heading directly into Hurricane Joaquin. "Winds are super bad," she said. "Love to everyone." Another is about to become a new father and was supposed to return home soon to learn the gender of his expected twins. Stories about some of the 33 crew members on board are starting to emerge. The cargo ship, headed from Florida to Puerto Rico, disappeared last week near the Bahamas. The U.S. Coast Guard has concluded the boat sank as Hurricane Joaquin churned across the Atlantic. The search for crew members ended Wednesday.

(Eretmochelys imbricata) Rich Carey/Shutterstock Hello, hawksbills! These sea turtles are found in coastal waters in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. They get their name from the sharp point at the end of their upper jaw, resembling a raptor's bill. This helps them get food from the crevices of coral reefs. They also have a unique feature apart from other sea turtles — a claw on each of the front flippers. Despite their critically endangered status, their eggs are still collected for food, and they are still caught for meat and for their beautifully colored shells which are made into jewelry and trinkets. There are only around 20,000 nesting females left — and hawksbills don't reach maturity until about 30 years of age and only nest every two to fourand rivers in the Northern Territory of Australia and also on New Guinea. Sadly, the species has experienced a population decline of about 50% in the last two decades, due mainly to the exotic pet trade. The species is known for its territorial behavior and thus high levels of aggression when in captivity, so captive breeding isn't necessarily an option for most owners. Mostly just leaving them alone in the wild is what's needed to protect them from further decline. 19.

‘He died a hero’: B.C.

Last year, nationwide, the total was nearly 2,500. With so many people dying, the crisis is making a noticeable difference for those who need new organs to survive. There has been a rise in the number of organ donations in the province. B.C. Transplant says in the first six weeks of this year, one in four organ donors in B.C. had fentanyl in their system when they were admitted to hospital.

Wayne, born Marion Robert Morrison, who died in 1979 at the age of 72, and took the name John Wayne when he began to make his way in Hollywood in the 1930s.

(York County), on a charge of armed robbery. Toussaint was charged with having robbed the Brunswick Hotel in Old Orchard Beach at 7:00 a.m. on July 25, 1980. At trial, Toussaint testified under direct examination by Dineen that he was home when the robbery took place. He nevertheless was convicted and sentenced to seven years in the Maine State Prison. Toussaint subsequently filed a petition for post-conviction relief, claiming ineffective assistance of counsel. At the hearing on the petition, Toussaint charged that Dineen had failed to present certain alibi witnesses who would have testified on Toussaint's behalf. Appearing as a witness, Dineen stated that he knew in advance that Toussaint would testify that he was home at the time of the robbery, but that he had not knownof any alibi witnesses. There followed a series of questions by the State's attorney aimed at eliciting whether Toussaint, at any time prior to trial, had made statements to Dineen inconsistent with his alibi. Dineen objected on the basis of relevance and attorney-client privilege. The court instructed Dineen to answer, noting that the state of his knowledge at the time of trial was relevant on the issue of his failure to call alibi witnesses, and that Toussaint had waived his attorney-client privilege by bringing the instant petition. The following colloquy then occurred: Q. Would you answer the question, please, sir? A. Yes, he was out of the house, he told me. Q. Where did he tell you he was? A. Old Orchard Beach. Q. Doing what?

Dr. Lara Kollab was a first-year resident of osteopathic medicine at Cleveland Clinic from July to September 2018, the medical center said in a statement. Her term was supposed to last until July 2019, but the Cleveland Clinic said when her now-deleted social media posts came to light the clinic conducted an internal review. "Her departure was related to those posts and she has not worked at Cleveland Clinic since September," the medical center said in a statement.

(WWJ) It's not something you see on Lake Michigan every day. Animal control officials in Waukegan -- located in Lake County, Illinois -- got a call Monday morning from a kayaker about a four-foot alligator spotted slowly swimming in the lake. "My first thought was no way. He must've seen a muskrat or a mink or something," said Matthew Palya, who works for Larsen Marine Service in the area. The caller followed up with a video, officials said, proving the remarkable claim; and authorities responded. An animal control officer was able go get a hold on the reptile, which had tape around its mouth. Talking with WWJ's Sandra McNeill, Palya described watching the officer pull the animal from the lake. "I raced over there and she was on top of the alligator,said, in a Facebook post, including a photo of the reptile aboard a boat. The animal was transported to the Wildlife Discovery Center in Lake Forest where curator Rob Carmichael initailly identified it as a caiman. However, officials later said it was, indeed, an alligator. It's unclear at this time if the reptile was someone's pet, or where the animal came from. Palya is hoping it's going to be OK. "It was, you know, in colder waters than it's supposed to be -- that's not the environment for it -- and it's mouth was taped shut. It couldn't get a bite of food." Carmichael said the reptile would've been lucky to live a couple more weeks in the lake, adding that it will be checked out by a veterinarian. The Associated Press contributed to

(CNN) -- A federal judge in Boston, Massachusetts, has ruled that the federal ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional, because it interferes with an individual state's right to define marriage. The ruling gives same-sex married couples in Massachusetts the same right to federal benefits that heterosexual couples enjoy. U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro ruled that "as irrational prejudice plainly never constitutes a legitimate government interest," the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violates the protection under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Tauro ruled simultaneously in favor on two separate lawsuits that were filed by the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) on behalf of eight same-sex married couples and three widows, and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage has been permitted for over six years.

The Stennis CSG includes one Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser and several Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers and has mostly been operating in the South China Sea since April before heading to Hawaii. The ships working with the Chinese ships from the Stennis strike group were USS William P. Lawrence (DDG-110) and USS Stockdale (DDG-106). While underway, the seven ships conducted low-intensity division tactics (DIVTACS) –ships maneuvering in large formations — the official said.

(DENR) Region VI said that the study was meant to determine whether or not the city is practicing sustainability program after receiving the award. The six-man team from different agencies in the region visited the city's controlled-dumpsite, slaughterhouse, and City Health Office among others. "We are evaluating Bacolod to know if the city is doing a sustainability program." Capulso said that the city need to focus on creating a sanitary landfill as required under the Republic Act 9003 or the Solid Waste Management Act. "We suggest that the City provide colored garbage receptacles -- black for biodegradable and green for non-biodegradable," Capulso said. On the other hand, Capulso disclosed that the contest for the national level was postponed last year because of inadequate funds. "In the regional level, however, the program is still existing.We are recognizing those provinces and cities with outstanding clean and green program," Capulso said. Bacolod, however, was excluded from the contest as it is already in the hall of fame. If the national level award will be reactivated, Capulso said that Bacolod will be competing to four other Hall of Famer cities -- Baguio, Puerto Princesa, Olongapo and Marikina. "The national body will be imposing a separate criteria to these hall of famer cities," she added. Award Bacolod was declared as the Clean and Green Hall of Famer for three consecutive years: 2000, 2001 and 2002 and year 1997 and 1998, receiving P1 million from the National Government. "The City has finally earned a place in the Clean and Green Hall of Fame -- one of the most coveted and prestigious awards accorded

“one of the saddest I’ve ever seen” — Garnett was a victim of severe abuse and neglect from a young age; she exhibited profound mental disabilities and was in and out of homelessness. Yet Pennsylvania’s mandatory sentencing statute meant the judge was unable to exercise mercy or even consider her youth, traumatic upbringing, or her potential later in life. She was sent to adult prison at 15, where she was raped and impregnated by a guard. I wrote about Trina Garnett in 2012, following oral arguments in Miller. When the court’s ruling came down that June, Garnett’s sister, Edy, cried happy tears over the phone at the thought that Trina would have a chance to come home and spend her remaining days with her family. But today, Garnett remainsincarcerated at the State Correctional Institution at Muncy, where she relies on a wheelchair and has multiple sclerosis. She turned 54 earlier this month. Yet Garnett is luckier than some. For a fellow SCI Muncy prisoner named Sharon Wiggins — reportedly the longest serving female lifer in Pennsylvania — even a favorable outcome in Montgomery would come too late. Though she lived to see the ruling in Miller, Wiggins died of a heart attack less than a year later.
