POKROVSK, Ukraine (AP) – Russian and Ukrainian troops engaged in close-quarter combat in an eastern Ukraine city Sunday as Moscow’s soldiers, supported by intense shelling, attempted to gain strategic footholds for conquering the region in the face of fierce Ukrainian resistance. Ukrainian regional officials reported Russian forces “storming” Sievierodonetsk after trying unsuccessfully to encircle the city. The fighting knocked out power and cellphone service, and a humanitarian relief centre could not operate because of the danger, the mayor said.

A 23-year-old New Zealand woman has died after she and three friends jumped from a bridge in Sicamous, B.C. RCMP say it happened at around 2 a.m. Wednesday when all four people leaped from the Bruhn Bridge on the Trans Canada Highway. The bridge is 20 metres above the Sicamous Channel connecting the popular boating areas of Shuswap and Mara lakes, 75 kilometres north of Vernon. When the woman didn't resurface after the jump her friends found her and pulled her to shore where she was rushed to hospital, but was pronounced dead. Police say there is nothing criminal about...

Every time a paratrooper in Britain’s airborne regiments goes to the stores to pick up his parachute as a prelude to going into action, it’s handed over with the same old corny gallows-humour banter — ‘Bring it back if it doesn’t work and we’ll exchange it.’ You could apply the same logic to the Parachute Regiment’s most famous World War II mission: the abortive attempt to capture from the Germans the bridge over the Rhine at the town of Arnhem in the north-east of the Netherlands in the autumn of 1944. It spectacularly did not work — and, once it...

— Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday rejected a bill that sought to automatically register New Jerseyans to vote when they visit a Motor Vehicle Commission office to either get or renew their driver's license. The governor went as far to mock bill's sponsors, saying in his conditional veto it should have been dubbed "The Voter Fraud Enhancement and Permission Act." Christie rejected the bill (A1944) that would have automatically registered people when they applied for a permit, license, identification card or renewed a license unless the resident specifically chose to opt out.

Recently, Tom Scholl, who identified himself as a pastor of churches in Ohio and New York, as well as holding positions in several ecumenical organizations, wrote a 3-part article for my local newspaper, The Macon Telegraph, entitled -What the Koran says about Christianity.- I thought it would be an interesting series to read, but I was greatly disappointed and not a little irked. It could have been an apologia about the goodness of Islam, using selective passages from The Koran and being charitable to some elements of Christianity. But his apologia went further than the usual arguments and Koranic exhortations...

OOSTERBEEK, Netherlands (AP) - Sixty years ago, the skies above the Dutch countryside filled with the white silk of parachutes of 30,000 Allied troops while tanks rolled up from Belgium along a narrow road that became known as "Hell's Highway." In the legendary "Market Garden" operation, which began Sept. 17th, 1944, a massive force that was supposed to end World War II found it had attempted to go "a bridge too far." A ceremony Sunday commemorated the heroic but doomed assault with Dutch schoolchildren raising flowers above their heads before laying them on the graves of the 1,750 Allied soldiers...
