In the 11 matches which preceded that defeat, there was but one blemish – a 2-2 draw with Burnley – to Solskjaer’s record as United boss. They’d been almost perfect, both in results and performances. However, the manner of the loss to PSG, a comprehensive and surgical dismantling in their own backyard, suggested the so-called honeymoon period was over, as United came crashing back to the reality that they were still light years behind Europe’s leading teams....
Olga Simonova, a 34-year-old military servicewoman who fought for Ukraine with the 24th Mechanized Brigade, died Tuesday in the southern Kherson region, local news outlet TSN reported.

St. Petersburg, May 31 (IANS/RIA Novosti): The torch for next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi is like a Kalashnikov rifle, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. During a visit here, Putin watched as the torch was taken apart and put back together, prompting him to quip that the torch’s gas pipe resembles the barrel of the famous Soviet-designed weapon. “No matter what you try and make in Russia, it always turns out like a Kalashnikov,” he joked....

So geographers, in Afric maps, With savage pictures fill their gaps. Jonathan Swift The project, which took three and a half years and $600,000, began with black-and-white negatives of satellite images dating back to 1987.

I hear from seniors who demand action to stem the tide of shootings, and from young people who explain why they feel forced to carry a weapon....
A Priest Confesses As American Roman Catholics observe Holy Week, the church is facing its most serious crisis in decades, the burgeoning charges of sexual abuse by priests, a story NEWSWEEK first put on the cover in early March. This week David France follows up with Neil Conway’s confession about abusing eight teenage boys. It was “awful and hard to hear,” France says; still, he believes Conway’s story needs to be told: “Rightly or not, too often the church has seemed more interested in covering up the problem than fixing it....
Battery chargers for digital devices such as smartphones can be bulky. Battery cases for phones make a once slim design classic a bit of a fatty. Other box-like battery packs are both chunky and require a usually far-too-long cable or two to connect to your fading phone. It’s enough to make iPhone designer Jonny Ive string himself up by a white Lightning power cable. But until Jonny works out how to fit a decent battery into the iPhone and Samsung catches up with this fantasy idea we’re stuck with phones and tablets that will run out of power much earlier than we expect them to....
Since 1958, “The Crucible” has been on a stage almost continuously in some part of the world, and it should have been a natural for the movies. “The story is really about sex,” says Bob Miller, paraphrasing the pitch that got him a dozen we’ll-call-yous before Hytner, the British theater directorwho made the well-received 1994 film “The Madness of King George,” took the project on. “It’s about relationships, it’s about betrayal, it’s about forgiveness....
In “Is There a Distinctive Conservative Jurisprudence?” (University of Colorado Law Review, Fall 2002) he refutes the charge that there is no principled distinction between the “activism” of the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Rehnquist and that of the New Deal and Earl Warren courts. The Rehnquist Court has indeed invalidated many laws. However, Wilkinson says the earlier courts would “constitutionalize freely,” meaning “extend constitutional rights to a point that impaired the democratic process....
