The protesters stayed busy. Last Monday they attacked at least 10 offices of ex-dictator Suharto’s Golkar Party in East Java, smashing windows and ransacking the interior. The next day they stormed a port in the town of Ketapang, forcing officials to halt ferry service to the nearby island of Bali. On Wednesday tens of thousands of people helped raze a two-story Golkar office in Surabaya, East Java’s capital. They burned effigies of Wahid’s rivals and demanded they be executed....

Sarachan took plenty of flack for not finding more minutes for prospects like Tim Weah and Andrija Novakovich in the March friendly against Paraguay, choosing instead to limit his substitutions to help the U.S. earn a 1-0 win. Don’t bet on Sarachan being as stingy this time around when the U.S. faces Bolivia on Monday. The U.S. has three friendlies in a two-week span, and the Bolivia match shapes up to be the best opportunity to give some players their first starts, and his youngest players good-sized cameos....

Magician — Yosuke Hanamura Yosuke’s social link is the first that caned obtain in Persona 4 Golden. On April 16 in the game, the player initiates the social link with the Magician arcana after he and the protagonist journey into the Midnight Channel to investigate Saki Konishi’s death. The player can typically find him in Classroom Building 2F of Yasogami High School or at the Junes Department Store when he and his father work....

The filmmakers also avoided the other too-obvious plotline by not focusing exclusively on the iconic Kennedys. Instead, the story is told through the eyes of Kenneth O’Donnell, a Boston pol and confidant of Jack and Bobby. O’Donnell, portrayed by Kevin Costner, becomes a sort of Everyman narrative device, floating through the public and private worlds of the Kennedys. The result is no documentary. Historians will object to some of the dialogue, particularly O’Donnell’s, whose voice is never heard on tapes of the strategy meetings....

For most Japanese, radiation is a primal fear. The invisible killer that ravaged Hiroshima and Nagasaki after Americans dropped nuclear bombs on both cities in 1945 spawned horrific genetic mutations in its victims, and birth defects that continue to haunt their offspring. Last week the worst accident ever to blight Japan’s nuclear power program threatened a new terror–a major nuclear catastrophe at the rim of one of the world’s largest cities....

While the main antagonists of Borderlands 3 were not nearly as despised by the community as Ava, many felt that they were a major step down from Handsome Jack. While some issues with the characters are subjective, like a dislike for Tyreen’s parody of streamers, other issues like their rushed deaths are more widely agreed upon. On paper, The Calypso Twins should be great villains, and a few changes to their stories would have made them far more memorable....

Despite being born with just one arm, Tommy continues to push past all obstacles while excelling in golf. He is an example of courage for everyone around him, proving that he can do anything he sets his mind to.

We’re moving on, moving up, together We’re the family and the heart of MK. Six and a half years later, that family feeling has long since disappeared. By the time Morrison Knudsen’s board forced Agee out last Friday, Boise was ready for a change. It wasn’t just MK’s red ink and Agee’s highhanded management style that had the town up in arms; it was the couple’s very character. They were, concluded The Idaho Statesman, “too lavish for Boise....

Jerry Howard, the CEO of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), discussed some issues and predictions for the housing market during an interview on Fox Business on Monday. He said that things are currently going “very well” for high-end housing since “people who have money have money, whether it costs more to get a mortgage or not.” However, things are not going quite so well in regard to housing for first-time homebuyers, Howard said....

Some people have too much free time. Using the same ASCII characters that you type on your keyboard, New Zealander Simon Jansen is re-creating most of the original 1977 “Star Wars” as frame-by-frame animation (www.asciimation.co.nz). He began in 1997, but he’s gotten only as far as the destruction of Alderaan. At that rate, he’ll never get to Jar Jar. The average web user can easily access less than 20 percent of U....

Iniesta, 33, will leave the LaLiga champions after 16 trophy-laden seasons with his boyhood club. The Spain international was initially expected to move to China, but uncertainty surrounds his future, with Australia and Japan also mooted as possible destinations. Gallop confirmed there were A-League clubs interested in Iniesta, while accepting there would be plenty of competition for the star’s signature. “I won’t name who, but I do understand that A-League clubs have expressed interest and that’s a start,” he told a news conference on Thursday....

RELATED: 10 Nintendo 64 Games We’d Like To See On Nintendo Switch Online While A Link to the Past’s contributions are numerous and all impactful in their own right, there’s one in particular that often goes undersung: Bottles. Bottles are now a staple of The Legend of Zelda, but they were non-existent in the original games. In the first Zelda, players could get two potions to heal, but that was it....

Rohit made his ODI debut way back in 2007 against Ireland. He was brought into the side as a ’talented’ batsman, and that was a label that brought him under scrutiny whenever he failed to perform. He was a middle or a lower middle-order batsman for a good six-year period into his career, where he was in and out of the team on a regular basis until the Champions Trophy in 2013....

One such moment took place on the 1st of March 2003, from the willow of a man called Sachin Tendulkar. It was a marquee clash against Pakistan, at the Super Six stage of the World Cup, and India needed to score 274 runs in 50 overs to beat their arch-rivals. The Pakistani bowling attack consisted of the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi, and India needed to put its best foot forward, on the batting front to overhaul a very challenging total....

The basic premise of the tournament when it was launched was that the best domestic T20 teams from the 8 major cricketing nations would be taking part, with the winner of the two-week event having the chance of laying claim to being the best domestic T20 team in the world. But the scheduling of the tournament has been such that it has, by and large, curtailed the participation of teams from England....

Last week’s suicide attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon laid bare the complex love-hate relationship felt by many in the Arab world toward the United States. Even as Palestinians celebrated America’s “comeuppance” in the streets of Gaza and the West Bank, there were outpourings of grief and expressions of condolence across the Middle East, from Libya to Lebanon. In Iraq-as I discovered during a week-long visit just before the massacres-attitudes toward the United States are steeped in similar ambivalence....

RELATED: Stray: Details About The World You Might Have Missed Assuming that players didn’t complete all of the side activities in Chapter 4 of Stray, now is as good a time as any. That said, players will still have a chance to do so at the beginning of Chapter 8, so those who would rather press on with the story or are not that fussed about unlocking all of the game’s trophies can keep them on the backburner for now....

Outright climate denial, long a staple of the GOP, is no longer an option now that the impacts are plainly evident to the person on the street. We are dealing with a crisis that threatens the health and wealth of all Americans, whether young or old, rich or poor, black or white. And while Democratic voters have been clamoring for climate change–themed primary debates, the Republican Party finally seems to grasp that a substantial number of its voters feel concern and support action....
