Committed to a broadly Islamist political outlook, with no interest or reference to diplomatic processes, and supporting a strategy of armed insurgency, this inchoate gathering represents a fresh challenge both to Israel and to the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority. Alongside this emergence and related to it, there has been an uptick in recent months of activity by individuals professing loyalty to the Islamic State organization, in both the West Bank and Israel....

If it does eventually happen, a Daredevil video game should work just like Sifu. The indie title has proven to be a huge success due to its unique age mechanic, amazing presentation, and difficult-but-smooth combat. Its gameplay would fit Daredevil perfectly due to the character’s melee-focused fighting style, and it is easy to imagine Sifu’s approach to level design suiting the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen as well.

Square Enix has a tendency to remake, re-release, and remaster its biggest games, and Final Fantasy 4 has been no exception to that rule, even if it hasn’t received quite the same attention as other games in the series. Square Enix has released numerous versions of Final Fantasy 4 over the years, including a remake for the Nintendo DS that re-imagined the game’s graphics with chibi-inspired 3D models and incorporated some story content that was missing from the original release....

In Hoyerswerda, a small city in the German state of Saxony, skinheads attacked a dormitory for refugees from Vietnam and Mozambique. Terrified and bleeding, the foreigners fled for their lives-only to run into a crowd of local residents who had turned out to cheer the neo-Nazis. In Bologna, a young Gypsy couple was shot to death and a 4-year-old girl was wounded in what police called a racist attack. In a small Swedish town, the home of an Ethiopian refugee and his Swedish wife was burned to the ground a month ago....

Since that first Camp David session with Blair, and particularly since September 11, Bush has repeatedly invoked the memory of Churchill. But now that Bush is charging ahead against Saddam Hussein, the British prime minister isn’t acting quite like The Last Lion. While Bush says “time is running out on Saddam Hussein” and that he’s “sick and tired of games and deception,” Blair says he wants to give the U....

Military bases are flooded with religious literature, Christian literature in particular, and “Experiencing God Day by Day” is notable mostly for its serious tone and its orthodox approach to evangelical Christian theology. The book presents a daily verse from Scripture and a commentary on that verse; its intention is to help readers keep God ever present in their minds. “For me, the book is a little reminder to take a deep breath and reflect on something other than the war for a few minutes,” says Maj....

Although the Penguins have worn a lighter hue of gold since the turn of the 21st century — “Vegas gold” — the team has revived their brighter, traditional “Pittsburgh gold” for the current playoff run. Rumors abound that it will be restored on a full-time basis starting next season, the team’s 50th in the National Hockey League.

In a memo distributed to all the firm’s employees-and obtained by The Washington Post and NEWSWEEK –presiding partner Samuel Butler conceded that the decision to take on Credit Suisse was “a matter of great moral consequence.” But he defended the move, saying the participation of Cravath was the fastest way to get a “satisfactory resolution” for the Holocaust survivors. Stephen Gillers, a professor of legal ethics at New York University Law School, praised the memo and the long meeting as “highly unusual introspection....

In the ‘Attitude Era’, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Kane, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, The Big Show and many others who with their traits –be it wrestling, talking, entrance to the ring – made WWE and its viewing absolutely sensational. I mean who wouldn’t like a guy whose entrance music sounds culinary and he justifies that by reducing his opponents to mashed potatoes?...

He didn’t need to. At the dawn of 1993, more than a decade into the battle against a disease for which no cure has been found, the code was easily broken. It had been rumored for years that the great dancer was struggling with AIDS. Indeed, the rumors may have started even before his sickness struck: in some quarters, where obituary pages are scanned before the weather report, and funeral services are as much a part of social life as parties, a kind of holocaust mentality has set in....

Nearly a year and a half after Saddam crushed an Iranianbacked Shiite uprising in the aftermath of Desert Storm, Teheran is still meddling in southern Iraq. It trains Iraqi insurgents and provides them with money and arms. A major dissident group, the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, is based in Teheran. According to Hamid Yusef Hammadi, Iraq’s information minister, “a few thousand” Iranian agents are currently operating in the marshes....

We were on the Kuwaiti border in an area we called “Cochise,” directing airstrikes on Iraqi artillery positions. Several times the enemy had opened up on us with rockets and artillery. They were getting better by the minute, so we moved to another location. When they finally came at us, the tracer fire from the 12.7mm machine guns on their armored vehicles was intense, but they were shooting high. We were about 100 meters from them, armed mostly with M-16s and light weapons....

title: “A Designer S Guide To Understanding Colors” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-01” author: “Christina Graves” Proficiency in color theory conveys the right tone and message and evokes the desired response to a publication. The same is true when you work with clothing, household products, and room decor. The Meaning of Cool Colors and Their Positive Attributes Cool colors tend to have a calming effect. At one end of the spectrum, they are cold, impersonal, antiseptic colors....

Suddenly that’s all changed. Instead of being a bit player, Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has become the center of a diplomatic whirlwind that would put Henry Kissinger to shame. Erdogan was received with full state honors in Washington last week by George W. Bush, who described Turkey as a “friend and important ally”–a far cry from last year’s conventional wisdom that a liberated Iraq would supplant Turkey as America’s key military and political platform in the region....

The FSB is back. From the Kremlin to the streets, the old secret police have over the past six months regained much of their influence and the power they lost after the fall of the Soviet Union. President Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB man who has made law and order a priority, has promoted dozens of former and serving FSB officers to key positions in the Kremlin and the administration. In an echo of the bad old days, the security services harass “hooligans,” recruit activists to spy on their friends and silence government critics....

Sooner or later in his long, illustrious career Gregory Peck had to play Abraham Lincoln. It was a role he seemed destined for, with his lanky, 6-foot-3 frame, his dark, formidable eyebrows, his aura of decency, judiciousness and flinty conviction. He finally did, in 1982, in a TV movie called “The Blue and the Gray.” But a Lincolnesque spirit inhabits many of his characters, none more so than Atticus Finch, the widowed Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in “To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962)....

I’m a 22-year-old freshman at a small New England liberalarts college. I take classes in subjects like writing and sociology. The school newspaper I write for is filled with aspiring muckrakers, and most people here followed Teddy Kennedy’s re-election bid with enthusiasm. A casual outside observer might say I fit the mold of the left-wing, out-of-touch, spotted-owl-saving, liberal-loving college student. A stereotypical Generation Xer suffering from a short bout of college-induced idealism, right?...
