Enganamouit misses a defensive header off a corner, letting Dongna Li bring it down and square to an unmarked Shanshan Wang about eight yards in front of goal. With Chicago-Boston lineups not likely to be in before the roster deadline on Saturday, owners are likely to be resting on pins and needles leading up to that match
Introduction - 10,000 Year Clock - The Long Now
Once you arrive at its hidden entrance in an opening in the rock face, you will find a jade door rimmed in stainless steel, and then a second steel door beyond it. If there is no attention for long periods of time the Clock uses the energy captured by changes in the temperature between day and night on the mountain top above to power its time-keeping apparatus
According to Abu Ahmed, and two other men who were jailed at Bucca in 2004, the Americans saw him as a fixer who could solve fractious disputes between competing factions and keep the camp quiet. By this time, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had risen steadily through the group to become a trusted aide to its leader, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, and his deputy, the Egyptian jihadist Abu Ayub al-Masri
How Team Obama Justifies the Killing of a 16-Year-Old American - The Atlantic
There are two remarkable things about the ensuing exchange, which eventually turns into a discussion about a dead 16-year-old kid: First, it's vital for the uninitiated to understand how Team Obama misleads when it talks about its drone program. Of course, both Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were, at the very least, traitors to their country -- they had both gone to Yemen and taken up with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and al-Awlaki had proven himself an expert inciter of those with murderous designs against America and Americans: the rare man of words who could be said to have a body count

The Predator War - The New Yorker
(The incident is being investigated by NATO.) According to a reporter for the Guardian, the bomb strike, by an F-15E fighter plane, left such a tangle of body parts that village elders resorted to handing out pieces of unidentifiable corpses to the grieving families, so that they could have something to bury. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, in August, 1998, President Bill Clinton retaliated, by launching seventy-five Tomahawk cruise missiles at a site in Afghanistan where bin Laden was expected to attend a summit meeting
Article 13 of the European Community Treaty bans discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, and, in 2011, the UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution committing the council to documenting and exposing discrimination on orientation or identity grounds around the world. Why are smaller and smaller percentages of people being exposed to the horrors of war? There are lots of reasons one could point to, but two of the biggest ones are the spread of democracy and humans getting, for lack of a better word, better
It's the story about this guy who comes to town, and uses grudges and sleeping animosities among the townspeople to whip everyone up into a frenzy of neighbor against neighbor. I could not read or note every worthy article that was published last calendar year and I haven't included any paywalled articles or anything published at The Atlantic

A year of reading the world
It felt strange to switch from talking about world literature to talking about fictional swapped identical twins, but everyone quickly made me feel at home. From this I learned the value of using hand gestures and smiling to get colour into certain words and phrases, as well as the importance of taking regular breaks
In addition, according to the comment by the editor of Science, "The findings support the view that the Holocene Thermal Maximum, the Medieval Warm Period, and the Little Ice Age were global events, and they provide a long-term perspective for evaluating the role of ocean heat content in various warming scenarios for the future."You forgot to mention that the pacific ocean has been much warmer over most of the last 10,000 years. Maybe your experience is different and you never got more than 3 feet offshore and faced inland all the time.Perhaps, instead of shooting from the hip with utterly invalid comparisons, you'd actually look up something to really understand what the hell you're talking about for a change
On the day that he arrived he had informal meetings with the most senior US officers and then with Churchill: I can never describe the friendliness of the reception I had from the American Chiefs of Staff. The physical and mental strain of the long hours at dispersal, the constant flying at high altitudes (two or three sorties a day were normal, six or seven not uncommon), must have been prodigious
