Not yet. It was a measure of the NRA’s lobbying power that so modest a bill, aimed at such obvious targets as assault weapons, barely cleared the Senate on a 50-49 vote. The guns have little legitimate use except in combat and have become the weapons of choice of terrorists, drug dealers and organized crime. Police across the country have broken with the NRA to call for the ban. In poll after poll, by margins of 70 percent or more, the public agrees, especially since the massacre of five children in a schoolyard in Stockton, Calif....

The researchers behind the discovery believe that what they have found is a binary star system with an orbiting body that emits clouds of dust that block light from its stellar hosts.

Al-Jazeera reported that the mine had been condemned due to safety concerns and that it had security patrolling the area to make sure miners did not try to enter.

When AT&T reached out and touched the credit markets for $8 billion last week, it meant more than just a single corporation borrowing enough money to bail out Russia. It was an important step in AT&T’s corporate makeover from a dowdy long-distance company to a risk-taking outfit willing to roll the financial dice. Consider this. AT&T began the year with $5.6 billion of long-term debt–and expects to be about $30 billion in hock at year-end....

Jones v. Clinton, never pretty, is turning uglier. Do such filings confirm contentions by Robert Bennett, the president’s lawyer, that ““this is an effort, this whole case, to embarrass and humiliate the president’’ in a campaign bankrolled by his political enemies? There’s no doubt that members of the Jones camp delight in seeking to embarrass and humiliate Bill Clinton. And there’s no doubt that some of those now supporting Jones, like the Rutherford Institute, have conservative leanings....

Many want to see Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok return to form in a manner similar to the older action-adventure games, but that’s not likely to happen. However, that’s not to say that aren’t lessons to be learned or “compromises” to be made, and there’s a gameplay feature in Assassin’s Creed 2 (as well as others) that would bridge these differences well.

Interestingly, Asterigos looks a lot like two different games at once. Asterigos is only the latest in a long line of works of fiction that use ancient Roman and Greek culture as a source of inspiration, but even so, its combination of themes and aesthetics make it seems like the intersection of two specific games. Those games are Ryse: Son of Rome and Immortals Fenyx Rising. Asterigos seems to combine Ryse’s themes of family loyalty and a warrior’s duty with Immortals Fenyx Rising’s animated art style and high fantasy elements....
