Scouting Potential New York Jets Draft Picks: Sammy Watkins
The New York Jets have a huge need at wide receiver this offseason, and most expect them to use their first round pick to upgrade the position. Geno Smith badly needs help, and you can make a pretty compelling argument that the Jets would have been a playoff team this season with even average play from their wide receivers. Given how badly they need to upgrade the position, the Jets will be carefully studying all of the top receiver prospects in this year's draft.
The name at the top of that list is undoubtedly Clemson's Sammy Watkins. Watkins burst onto the college football scene as a freshman, when he caught 82 passes for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns. Watkins missed two games due a marijuana related suspension as a sophomore and a third to injury, resulting in a down year that saw him catch just 57 for 708 yards and 3 TDs. However, Watkins bounced back in a big way this season, catching 101 passes for 1,464 yards and 12 TDs while leading Clemson to an Orange Bowl victory.
To put that in perspective, the Jets managed just 13 receiving touchdowns as a team this year, and Jeremy Kerley led the team with 43 catches for 523 yards. Watkins averaged 14.5 YPC this season, and he would bring a big play element to the passing game that the Jets simply don't have. In truth, the Jets haven't had a true No. 1 receiver that scares defenses since Keyshawn Johnson in the late 90s. That has to change this offseason.
Watkins has quickly separated himself from Marqise Lee and Mike Evans in this year's receiver class, in large part due to his physical gifts. At 6'1″, 205 lbs with 4.4 speed, Watkins is the total package from a physical standpoint. There are numerous examples from his college career of his leaping ability, deep speed and explosiveness after the catch. Watkins is also an excellent kick returner if teams choose to use him in that role.
Watkins is far more than just an athlete, however. He has excellent hands and didn't have more than the occasional drop in college, and there is no reason for NFL teams to be concerned about drops becoming a problem at the next level. Like most young receivers, Watkins needs some polishing as a route runner, but that is not at all a concern for teams. Watkins reminds me a lot of Andre Johnson (though not quite as big), and obviously the team that drafts him will be thrilled if he develops into that kind of player.
The Jets would love to be able to add Watkins, but there is a good chance he will be gone well before the Jets pick at No. 18. There are a lot of teams in the top 10 looking at Watkins as a potential second option if they don't get a shot at Jadeveon Clowney, Jake Matthews or whichever quarterback they want. The Jets will almost certainly have to trade up if they want to add Watkins.
Don't rule out that possibility, however. The Jets have an extra third round pick from the Darrelle Revis trade, giving them the ammunition they need to move up a few spots if Watkins starts to slip. In my opinion, Watkins is the best receiver prospect since A.J. Green and Julio Jones in 2011, and he looks like a safe bet to be a Pro Bowl level player. That is exactly the kind of impact the Jets desperately need at the wide receiver position. It would take a big move to get him, but Watkins would be worth trading up for.

Cops Corner: Sarasota
Date: December 19, 2013
by: Observer Staff
Dec. 8
9 p.m. — 1400 block of 10th Street. Petit Theft. A woman said she was waiting for her son's bus to arrive when she saw a man ride by on her son's bike. She yelled at the man to stop, but he continued riding. When she returned to where the bike had been chained, it appeared a blunt object was used to break the lock.
Dec. 10
9 p.m. — 2100 block of North Orange Avenue. Criminal Mischief. A man said someone had broken his chain-link fence and removed the wire that held the fence to the posts. The man believed children waiting for a school bus in front of his property were responsible for the damage. Officers met with the children and told them not to lean on the fence or place any items on it. At that time, the man interrupted and threatened anyone he found damaging his property in the future; he said he would handle things himself rather than call the police. Officers asked the school board to consider moving the bus stop to avoid conflict; the school board obliged and moved the stop that afternoon.
1 p.m. — 700 block of 45th Street. Suspicion Person. A woman, who was working from home, heard a man knock on her door. As she was approaching the door, she said it sounded like the man tried to turn the doorknob. The woman asked the man what he was doing, and he said he was leaving a brochure. The woman said the man left without leaving anything behind. The house next door had a brochure for home alarm systems, and the alarm company said they send employees out to distribute brochures.
2:30 p.m. — 3700 block of Indian Beach Place. Suspicion General. A woman called the police after sighting what appeared to be a drone near her house. She said the drone flew low to the ground and looked like it had a camera attached. An officer notified the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport Tower, who then notified Homeland Security. Homeland Security said the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, which was operating the drone, was conducting training.
Dec. 11
5 a.m. — 1300 block of 25th Street. Dispute/Fight. A man said an unknown person broke his back window and stole his black Labrador puppy. A witness identified the man who broke in as the actual owner of the dog, who was supposed to move into the residence with the man who called the cops. Officers were informed that the dog's owner was trying to call the man who lived in the home all day in an effort to retrieve his dog from the property. Officers concluded no robbery occurred and that the matter should be resolved in civil court.

Radioactive water still troubles Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant
Costumed protesters beat drum cans during an anti-nuclear plant demonstration in Tokyo, Sunday, March 9, 2014. Banging on drums and waving "Sayonara nukes" signs, thousands of people rallied in a Tokyo park and marched to Parliament to demand an end to nuclear power ahead of the third anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. (AP/Junji Kurokawa)
The Associated Press
Published Monday, March 10, 2014 6:55AM EDT
OKUMA, Japan -- The radioactive water that has accumulated at Japan's crippled nuclear power plant remains the biggest problem hampering the cleanup process three years after the disaster.
The Fukushima Dai-ichi plant has stabilized substantially since the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami destroyed its power and cooling system, triggering multiple meltdowns. Massive amounts of water are being used to cool the plant's nuclear material, but the contaminated water has leaked repeatedly from storage tanks.
Plant chief Akira Ono said Monday that improving water management is crucial to the decontamination of the area so evacuees can return to their homes.
The disaster is the world's worst atomic accident since Chornobyl in 1986. More than 100,000 people have not returned home due to fear of radiation from the plant.

Van Nistelrooy repents while Wenger fumes
Wednesday 27 October 2004
The news was as surprising as the sight of Ruud van Nistelrooy missing an open goal, but the Football Association was none the less gratified when the Dutchman submitted a guilty plea yesterday to the charge of serious foul play.
The news was as surprising as the sight of Ruud van Nistelrooy missing an open goal, but the Football Association was none the less gratified when the Dutchman submitted a guilty plea yesterday to the charge of serious foul play.
As the repercussions of Manchester United's controversial victory over Arsenal on Sunday, and the subsequent "Soupgate" affair, rumbled on, Arsène Wenger, the Gunners' manager, was less apologetic.
Van Nistelrooy left it late to admit his guilt, there being less than an hour before the 6pm deadline when he accepted he had deliberately raked his studs down Ashley Cole's shin.
The Manchester United striker also accepted a three-match ban. He began the first suspension of his United career by missing last night's Carling Cup tie at Crewe Alexandra. Cole, incidentally, is rated as doubtful for the Arsenal match against Southampton at Highbury on Saturday.
"There was no deliberate intent to harm Ashley Cole and I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to him," said Van Nistelrooy, who will also sit out the trip on Saturday trip to Portsmouth and the home derby against Manchester City on 6 November .
"Throughout my 10-year career I believe my disciplinary record is very good, not only for Manchester United but at all my previous clubs," he added. "I accept the charge made by the FA and I take full responsibility for this incident."
Before the statement by Van Nistelrooy, Wenger had criticised the player's behaviour as "silly".
"Van Nistelrooy is a big enough player just to come and play football," Wenger said. "I have no preconceived ideas about him but what is he doing carrying out such silly things?
"If you look at the video again it wasn't just the challenge on Ashley Cole, he also steps on Jens Lehmann in the second half and it's clearly on purpose. He does it like he is always innocent. Who is he trying to impress by doing that? Why can't he just play football and forget all the rest?"
Van Nistelrooy's swiftly concluded case is the first significant victory for the FA's new fast-track disciplinary code.
Wenger, the other protagonist of United's controversial victory interesting the FA, has a further five days to reply to the governing body's written request for an explanation of his criticism of the referee Mike Riley, but Wenger also gave a public indication of his reply yesterday.
There was an element of contrition as he insisted he had not meant to suggest that Riley was "not honest" but he remained critical of both the referee's handling of the game and United's approach. Of the claimed food fight the notoriously myopic Frenchman said he saw nothing.
It is understood Sir Alex Ferguson was splashed with soup thrown by an Arsenal player but Wenger insisted: "I don't know about that. I haven't seen it if something was thrown. I don't know what happened to Ferguson. Why don't you ask Ferguson what happened to him. He can give you an answer.
"Why should I know what happened to Alex Ferguson's shirt? Ferguson should know and he should say so."
Wenger, who is thought to have provoked the row by accosting Van Nistelrooy in the tunnel, added: "Nothing happened. There's no story. I wasn't angry after the game."
Asked to confirm he had called Van Nistelrooy a cheat he said: "I cannot deny what I did not say." On television Wenger said: "We know how Ruud van Nistelrooy behaves. He can only cheat people - we know him very well."
On Sunday Wenger noted that Riley had a habit of giving Manchester United penalties at Old Trafford. Yesterday he said: "I don't want to speak about the referee getting decisions wrong. But I think the spirit of the game was not right from the first minute and I cannot accept that when [Jose Antonio] Reyes gets kicked off the pitch the referee accepts it.
"At half-time we thought Reyes would not be able to run out any more, Ashley Cole as well. He will be out for the whole week's training.
"I don't feel [Riley] had enough authority on the game. Reyes was kicked off the park. I don't question [Riley's] honesty but he didn't protect well enough the spirit of the game. When you have a game like that shown in 75 countries ... it was a bad promotion for English football.
"I respect Manchester United but on this occasion I feel they did not play the game with the spirit we tried to play. I don't want to accuse the referee - he did the job as well as he could - but I think the game should be played in the right spirit."
For Wenger, it is the approach United had during the match which for him remains the real problem.
"I feel in England you have a habit of transforming a situation, making a small problem big so we can ignore the real problem," he said. "The real problem is what happens on the pitch.
"I'm not responsible for the way United approach the game. I am here to answer for our behaviour and our attitude.
"I cannot agree, despite the result, with the way they approached the game."
The Arsenal manager added: "I love physical commitment and people who go for the ball - but I cannot believe that Manchester United goes into the game thinking that. If they do I'm even more disappointed.
"I feel as well let's keep things where they are important - which is on the pitch. We tried to play; we didn't play well - but I didn't think there was anything in our approach which was wrong or immoral. That's what I stand for."
Wenger added: "I don't know why the game was played in such a bad spirit, because we tried to play like we always play - and coming out of that game, we are even more determined to stick to our game.
"We didn't have the best of games, but we tried to play and we tried to stick to what we always do."
The FA, said Wenger, "have to take action on what they feel is right. They have a responsibility and authority to tackle the real problems in the game".
The FA are investigating events in the tunnel but with neither Riley nor the police witnessing events, and both clubs playing down the incident, any prosecution will be difficult to secure.
Arsenal return to Manchester tonight but to a different ground, in a different competition, and with a different team. The venue is the City of Manchester Stadium, the event is the third round of the Football League Cup, and the Arsenal team which takes on Manchester City will largely be a reserve one.
"We just want to go out and play football as well as we can no matter who we play," concluded Wenger. "If coincidentally we were playing at Man United in the league cup we would go there with exactly that same spirit."

ACLU Chooses Liberal Agenda Over Constitution
No one should be surprised in the least at the activities of the supposed American Civil Liberties Union, they've exposed their far left agenda long ago. Sure, every once in a while they'll actually work to protect the Constitution, but, notice that their name is not based on the Constitution: civil liberties are whatever they say they are, despite claiming that they are there to protect the Constitution. That's why they so often go missing when the Constitution is on the line, when people's Rights, as laid out in the Bill of Rights, are under assault. Much like most of the US media, they are no longer showing a bias, but are actual cheerleaders and advocates for the Democrat Party. Witness
A Victory for Women: Employer Can't Use Its Religion to Deny Birth Control Coverage for Its Employees
On Friday, a district court in Missouri rejected a case brought by a mining company challenging the federal birth control rule that requires employer health plans to cover contraception without a co-pay. The Missouri case is one of 30 pending, and it is the first case to be dismissed on the merits. It's a tremendous victory for women, particularly those employed by the mining company.
It's a tremendous loss for Freedom of Religion, yet the ACLU isn't too concerned about that. They've voluntarily abdicated their role as so-called protector of the Constitution in order to push an agenda.
The court decisively rejected the claim that the birth control rule infringes on the mining company owner's religious beliefs. The court found that the rule does not prevent the company's owner "from keeping the Sabbath, from providing a religious upbringing for his children, or from participating in a religious ritual such as communion." Those religious practices are different from contributing to a health plan that an employee might use to obtain contraception. This "indirect financial support" of someone else's possible behavior is not a burden on the company owner's religious beliefs.
Importantly, the court also recognized that religious liberty claims cannot be used as a "means to force one's religious practices upon others." That is exactly what the company's owner was trying to do. We are pleased that the court rejected an attempt to use religion to discriminate, and we hope that the courts in the other cases do so as well.
Whew, that's an incredible way to spin the topic. What of those who want their health insurance to have a $0 copay for contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients? Is that not pushing their religious views on others?
And what of the notion that this was a federal government mandate that requires employers to provide insurance with $0 copays for contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients? Is that not the federal government forcing their religious views on The People in violation of the 1st Amendment?

Lifetime Reveals Mossy Oak Camouflage Tabletop

Lifetime Brands is bringing the "outdoors" in via a recently signed licensing deal with Mossy Oak, a company that specializes in camouflage patterns and outdoor sporting apparel and equipment. Per the new agreement, Lifetime will develop kitchenware and home décor products using Mossy Oak's camouflage design portfolio.
Some of the products slated to carry the Mossy Oak label include melamine and ceramic tableware, water bottles, thermal mugs, cutting boards and kitchen tools. Lifetime will show its first Mossy Oak products at this month's New York Tabletop Market, in its 45 Madison Avenue showroom.
"Mossy Oak is a very hot company right now. They have amazing camouflage patterns that are popular in many parts of the country," said Jeff Siegel, Lifetime Brands chairman and CEO. "This license can give us some expansion of distribution into sporting goods stores as well as in the regular trade."
Lifetime Brands has begun showing Mossy Oak products to retail partners and will preview the line at the NY Tabletop Market. The company will reveal the full breadth of the new line with a more comprehensive Mossy Oak impact statement in the spring at the International Home + Housewares Show, in Chicago.
For more on Lifetime Brands' Mossy Oak assortment, see HomeWorld's October 14, 2013, issue. This issue previews both the New York Tabletop Market in NOUVEAU and High Point Market furniture introductions.

Najima: From Castle Town to Lindbergh Landing Place
In Najima, in Higashi Ward, lies the ruins of a castle of the same name. It was the first place Nagamasa Kuroda called home after moving from Nakatsu in Buzen (now western Oita Prefecture) to Chikuzen, a portion of which he was enfeoffed for his role in the Battle of Sekigahara. Najima Castle's location on a small peninsula was not only inconvenient, it made the development of a castle town difficult, so Nagamasa decided to move his base of operations to a more spacious site. Najima Castle was abandoned in 1602.Read More

Griglia di Gaetano
Griglia di Gaetano, a sister store to the popular Pizzeria da Gaetano, opened this September. The chic Italian grill has 60 seats, including counter and terrace seating, and a walk-in cellar with 300 mostly Italian wines. After enjoying a palate-cleansing aperitivo, manager Kentaro Takamatsu recommends you start with wine and an appetizer before moving on to an entrée. You can finish up with pasta or enjoy a digestivo with desert or cheese. Gaetano uses farm-fresh, rice-fed beef from Munakata, which is slow roasted over charcoal to bring out the flavor. But the cuts vary from day to day, so be sure to ask the waitstaff what is available. Since most of the restaurant's meat and vegetables are sourced directly from local farms, Takamatsu and his chef adjust the menu daily. When we visited, our appetizers offered a range of seasonal Italian fare: mushroom sformato, mackerel and autumn eggplant carpaccio, and bell peppers stuffed with pork and squid. If you're looking for an adult atmosphere and elegant Italian cuisine, or just a great selection of wine, look no further than Gaetano.Read More

The Riad is lovely - an authentic Moroccan experience which is exactly what we were after, not a colourless corporate hotel. Laurent and Aziz looked after us really well, from meeting us at the airport, taking the time to help us get our bearings and advising on the best places to see. Nothing was too much trouble. Plus the endless cups of tea, wonderful food and the surprise birthday cake they prepared.

Visitor Information
You can't help but be impressed as you descend the stairs of this basement bar/restaurant - solid stone steps lined with ostentatious polished brass candlesticks lead you between intricately carved wooden screens; giant clay urns cast atmospheric shadows, and coloured-glass lampshades emanate a hushed kaleidoscopic glow. We sunk comfortably into our booth, strewn with plump patterned cushions. Had we inadvertently stumbled into a sultan's palace?
The scene having been set so spectacularly, we were naturally expectant. We opted to for a selection of mezze to start. The falafels coated in sesame seeds were tasty, and the hummus had just the right consistency and flavour, but nothing really jumped off the table. After a pleasant pause our mains arrived - my companion's grilled sea-bass was very fresh but showed little sign of the herbs and garlic promised on the menu. I plumped for the mixed grill which fittingly, if rather disappointingly, lived up to its title; lacklustre lamb seemed incongruous on the same plate as such exceptional chicken. The spicy Arabic salad offered a clever counterpoint to our mains, but the mixed vegetables were disappointing in the extreme. - a dish of peas and carrots, quite clearly cooked from frozen. No thank you. A platter of fresh fruit and a selection of nutty miniature pastries was a pleasing, refreshing way to finish the meal.
From a broad wine list we ended up drinking a delectable Rioja. Their cocktails deserve a recommendation too – my mango, vanilla and rum combo was a spectacular explosion of flavour which had you hanging around for the gratifying aftertaste.
You can tell that this former club hasn't broken from its past completely; the relaxed music gets livelier as the evening progresses (the belly dancing show was an entertaining distraction), but this is where the problem lies. We loved the atmosphere, but this is a classic tale of style over substance. When visiting a restaurant you expect to be struck by the quality of the food, to say to your companion 'you've got to try this'. With more attention in the kitchen, they could be on to something.

Mexico confirms US agent wounded in north in July
Updated: 18 hr ago
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican navy confirmed on Saturday that a U.S. marshal was wounded in Mexico while working with naval personnel in the northwestern state of Sinaloa during the summer. But the navy denied a report in the Wall Street Journal that the marshal and other U.S. officers were dressed as Mexican marines while participating in an operation against organized crime. It said the marshal was only training Mexican naval personnel and wasn't wearing a Mexican uniform. The navy's statement confirmed the American was wounded on July 11, as reported in the Journal, but the navy gave no information on how the officer was wounded. According to the Journal story, agents from several U.S.
Influx of cheap Peruvian quinoa riles Bolivia
Updated: Fri, Nov 21, 2014
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — International demand for quinoa continues to boom, and that's fueling an increasingly bitter commercial feud between Bolivia and Peru, the two main producers of the Andean "superfood." The fight pits hardscrabble, traditional organic growers mostly in Bolivia's semi-arid highlands against upstart Peruvian agribusinesses concentrated on the Pacific coast that include heavy pesticide users. Peru is about to overtake Bolivia as the top exporter, worrying Bolivians about their ability to compete. As Peru boosts production of cheaper factory-farmed quinoa, the grain is increasingly being smuggled into landlocked Bolivia to be mixed with, and sometimes sold as, organic quinoa — Bolivia's specialty, grower
Latin America applauds Obama's immigration plan
Updated: Fri, Nov 21, 2014
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto praised President Barack Obama on Friday for his executive orders granting new rights to millions of people living illegally in the United States, calling it "an act of justice." Mexicans are believed to account for more than half of the roughly 11.2 million migrants living in the U.S. without authorization. Mexico had long pressed for better conditions for them. Pena Nieto said in a speech that Obama's plan "is an act of justice that recognizes the large contributions that millions of Mexicans have made to the development of our neighbor." "These measures represent relief for immigrants, especially Mexicans," he said.
US warns citizens to avoid resort of Acapulco
Updated: Fri, Nov 21, 2014
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Mexico issued a security message Friday warning U.S. citizens to avoid the Pacific resort of Acapulco because of violence and protests. In yet another blow to a coastal city once favored by U.S. movie stars and jet-setters in the 1950s and '60s, the embassy said its personnel "have been instructed to defer non-essential travel to Acapulco, by air or land," and added that it "cautions U.S. citizens to follow the same guidelines." The alert noted that "protests and violent incidents continue in Guerrero state in response to the disappearance of 43 students there." Demonstrators have blocked highways to Acapulco, hijacked buses and blockaded the city's airport to demand the governme
US provides $68 million for Mexico justice reform
Updated: Fri, Nov 21, 2014
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Mexico says the U.S. government will provide $68 million over five years to assist Mexico's effort to reform its court and justice system. The U.S. government's Agency for International Development will oversee the plan, known as Promoting Justice. Mexico's slow, cumbersome paper-based trial system is being changed to something that more closely resembles the U.S. court system, though without juries. Lawyers will question and cross-examine witnesses in open court, and defendants will be considered innocent until proven guilty. Some of Mexico's 31 states have implemented parts of the reform, including changes aimed at speeding up trials and allowing leeway for non-prison sentences

Everyone, according to a wave of jokes on the Internet, wants to get a foot in the door at the Mexican network Televisa, the world's largest producer of Spanish-language programming — a rush touched off by Mexico's first lady, Angelica Rivera, sharing some details of her earnings there after a 25-year acting career. The speech this week was meant to squelch criticism over her purchase of a $7 million mansion from a company that has government contracts. But by mentioning that Televisa paid her more than $6.
Mexico's Colima volcano spouts ash, hot rock
Updated: Fri, Nov 21, 2014
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Colima volcano in western Mexico has erupted, sending a column of ash about 3 miles (5 kilometers) into the air. Mexico's federal civil defense office said Friday that ash has fallen on towns as far as 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the peak, which is also known as the Volcano of Fire. Glowing hot rock tumbled down the volcano's flanks over a mile (2 kilometers) from the crater. The office says the eruption is much lower in intensity than ones in 2005 that forced evacuations. No injuries or evacuations were reported Friday. The 12,533-foot (3,820-meter) volcano is 430 miles (690 kilometers) northwest of Mexico City, on the border of Colima and Jalisco states. It is one of the most active and pote
Angry Mexicans protest over 43 missing students
Updated: Fri, Nov 21, 2014
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A largely peaceful march by tens of thousands demanding the return of 43 missing students ended in violence, as a small group of masked protesters battled police in Mexico City's main square. The march late Thursday sought the return of the students from a rural teachers' college. Nov. 20 is usually a day reserved for the celebration of Mexico's 1910-17 Revolution, but Mexicans were in no mood for celebrations. Many of the marchers carried "mourning" flags with Mexico's red and green national colors substituted by black stripes. "The entire country is outraged," said housewife Nora Jaime. "It is not just them," she added, referring to the 43 young men who haven't been seen since being attacked by po

They reviewed the history of Honduras and discussed the gang and drug violence that makes this small Central American republic one of the most dangerous countries in the world. "She knew that the questions would be about the insecurity and violence because that is what the world knows about Honduras," said Jose Eudaldo Diaz, the philosophy professor coaching her. "Her goal was to explain that she wanted to contribute to a Honduras in which children could walk the streets without fear of being murdered." Alvarado ne
Narco culture surrounded slain Miss Honduras

SANTA BARBARA, Honduras (AP) — Maria Jose Alvarado expected some difficult questions about her country at the Miss World pageant in London, so the 19-year-old beauty queen enlisted a teacher to help her prepare. They reviewed the history of Honduras, including the military-backed coup in 2009 that sent the president into exile. They went through the daily newspapers to discuss politics and the gang and drug violence that makes this small Central American republic one of the most dangerous countries in the world. The odds of winning the Miss World crown were long, Alvarado knew, but she practiced her English in the weeks ahead of the pageant, just in case she needed an acceptance speech, said Jose Eudaldo Diaz, the philosoph
Nicaragua: Studies say canal impact to be minimal
Updated: Thu, Nov 20, 2014
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — Officials said Thursday that studies have determined a $40 billion inter-oceanic canal across Nicaragua will have minimal impact on the environment and society, and construction is to begin next month. Work will start Dec. 22 as planned with a port on the country's southern Pacific coast, said Zhu Xiaoya, an official with China's HKND Group, which was picked to build the canal. The company called the project both feasible and environmentally sound, and defended the project's commitment to standards of quality and transparency. "We are ready to begin," Zhu said. The route was announced in July and teams began surveying it the following month.
Slain beauty queen, sister buried in Honduras
Updated: Thu, Nov 20, 2014
GUALJOCO, Honduras (AP) — Grieving family members laid to rest a beauty queen and her sister amid drenching rains Thursday, pleading for divine justice after the women were shot to death in what police say was a jealous rage by the sister's boyfriend. Miss Honduras, 19-year-old Maria Jose Alvarado, and her sister Sofia, 23, were interred in two cement graves at a tiny cemetery in this hamlet north of their hometown of Santa Barbara. About 300 people, including mourners and security forces, trudged through the mud for the ceremony. The bodies had been delivered to the family home before dawn, but a sustained downpour prevented the graves from being dug for hours. Their mother wept as she kissed the two caskets adorned with f
Public transport to say: 'Falklands are Argentine'
Updated: Thu, Nov 20, 2014
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina's Congress has ruled that all public transportation must display a sign saying: "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" ("The Falklands are Argentine"). Argentina lost a brief, bloody 1982 war with Britain over the South Atlantic archipelago and still claims the islands. The measure was approved by the lower house of Congress late Wednesday after getting approval from the Senate. It applies to all forms of public transportation whether rail, air, land or sea. President Cristina Fernandez's government has often raised the issue of sovereignty over the islands known in Spanish as "Las Malvinas." Argentina claims Britain has illegally occupied the islands since 1833.
Founder of Brazil's largest retail chain dies
Updated: Thu, Nov 20, 2014
SAO PAULO (AP) — Samuel Klein, the Polish-born founder of Brazil's largest home-appliance retailer, has died, the company said in a statement. He was 91. Casas Bahia said Klein died Thursday at Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein Hospital where he was undergoing treatment for the past two weeks. It did not give the cause of death, but a hospital official told reporters he died of respiratory failure. Born in 1923 in a village near Lublin, Klein was one of nine children born to a Jewish family taken by the Nazis to the Treblinka concentration camp. He, his father and one brother survived. His mother and other siblings perished in Treblinka. He survived two years at the Majdanek concentration camp in Lublin from where he escape
Argentina bill would oust foreign lawbreakers
Updated: Thu, Nov 20, 2014
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina's Senate has passed a bill to expel foreigners caught breaking the law. Senators approved the legislation 39-24 on Wednesday. The bill backed by President Cristina Fernandez is expected to be passed by the lower house as well and turned into law. Fernandez has said there is a growing number of foreigners entering Argentina to commit crimes. Under the bill, foreigners caught breaking the law can be immediately expelled from Argentina and banned from returning for at least five years. Foreign-born people with legal residence can ask to remain in Argentina to serve out their sentence for the crime. Argentines are growing increasingly worried about rising crime in their count
Colombia's rebel-held general a bookish strategist

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — The general whose capture by rebels has put Colombia's peace talks on hold is one of the country's foremost counterinsurgency strategists who once received his officer's insignia from the hands of U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus. People who know Gen. Ruben Dario Alzate describe him as a studious man who sees himself as part of a new generation of Colombian military officers committed to using social projects to win the hearts and minds of poor communities in the battle against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

SANTA BARBARA, Honduras (AP) — Tears and anger poured out for the dark-haired beauty who was to have flown to London on Wednesday to represent Honduras at the Miss World pageant, only to be found shot to death with her sister on a remote river bank. After the bodies of the reigning Miss Honduras, 19-year-old Maria Jose Alvarado, and her sister Sofia, 23, were discovered early in the day, police announced that the sister's boyfriend had confessed to killing them last week in a fit of jealousy over his girlfriend dancing with another man.

Luis Luna Guarneros served as music director of the Yucatan government department of arts and was formerly director of a state orchestra. The state prosecutor's office said his body was found Wednesday in a vacant lot in the state capital, Merida. Luna Guarneros had reportedly been planning to make a trip on Sunday when he disappeared. Local media reported his vehicle was later found abandoned.

SANTA BARBARA, Honduras (AP) — The dark-haired beauty was to have flown to London Wednesday to compete in the Miss World pageant — the high point of her reign as Miss Honduras. But the beauty queen and her sister were found shot dead on a remote river bank, and police said the sister's boyfriend confessed to killing them in a jealous rage over his girlfriend dancing with another man. Bodies believed to be 19-year-old Maria Jose Alvarado and her 23-year-old sister, Sofia, were discovered buried near the spa where they disappeared a week earlier while celebrating the boyfriend's birthday.

HAVANA (AP) — Countries assisting peace talks between Colombia's government and leftist rebels said Wednesday night that an agreement has been reached to free a general whose capture jeopardized the negotiations. A joint statement from Cuba and Norway said the two sides agreed "on the conditions for the release" of Colombian army Gen. Ruben Dario Alzate and four others taken captive by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia in recent days. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos immediately celebrated the accord, saying in a statement that government peace negotiators would return to Havana as soon as all the prisoners were released.

Minnesota's hit and run laws could soon be toughened up.
A bill up for a Minnesota House vote Tuesday at the Capitol would require drivers to stop to see if they hit a person.
It's an effort to close a loophole that allows a driver to leave an accident, and later come back, and claim they didn't know what they hit. The bill would ensure not knowing would no longer be a legal defense.
The legislation has already passed in the Senate.

Crist for Senate?

The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza has some more details on the talk that Florida Gov. Charlie Crist may run for an open Senate seat in 2010, instead of seeking reelection:
Florida Republican Gov. Charlie Crist is considering a run for the Sunshine State's open Senate seat although he remains a long shot to run, according to informed sources in the state and in Washington.
Jim Greer, the chairman of the Florida Republican party and a close ally of Crist, said that "whether [Crist] is going to actually run for the Senate is a decision that will be made down the road because he doesn't want to take his eye off the ball, which is serving the people of Florida as governor."No final decision is expected from Crist until the legislative session in Florida concludes in early May, said those familiar with the governor's thinking.
I've noted previously that in recent history it's very rare for a governor who has the option of remaining governor to run for the Senate instead.
