An even higher number–85 percent–say they would support military action if the United States was joined by its major allies and also had the full support of the U.N. Security Council. And half of those polled said they would also support a U.S. attack if only one or two major allies signed on, even if the United Nations did not give its approval–an increase of 10 percent from the poll taken two weeks ago....
Washington badly wants to avoid the embarrassment of having Arafat run for election himself–which most observers think he would win handily. State Department officials hope to get the Europeans and Russians to back this approach, along with major Arab allies–Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan–and U.N. Secretary- General Kofi Annan. The aging Palestinian leader would then face a tough quid pro quo from the international community: step aside in return for gaining early statehood....
That’s no coincidence. The top drivers this season — and the top seeds entering the Chase — were all near the front again in the final regular-season race at Richmond.

Currently, Powerball has two weekly drawings and the third will be added Monday. The new move is to create larger prizes, according to the Missouri Lottery executive director, who currently leads Powerball, May Scheve Reardon. She said Powerball ticket sales tend to increase when jackpots are at least worth $400 million or more. “Jackpot fatigue is real and by increasing the days of the draws we’ll be able to grow bigger jackpots faster and get more people interested in the game and turn over more money to our beneficiaries,” Reardon said....

Sunspot AR3140 was recently seen exploding its “bombs, and the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Solar Orbiter probe spotted a cylinder of gases snaking through the sun’s magnetic field in September. Ellerman bombs occur in areas of the sun’s surface with strong magnetic fields. Named after physicist Ferdinand Ellerman, who studied them in the 1900s, the bombs are magnetic explosions caused by opposite polarities colliding. While the explosions are one-millionth as powerful as normal solar flares, they are still immensely energetic, releasing as much energy as 100,000 World War II atomic bombs, according to SpaceWeather....
The first example was a Silicon Valley company called ePAC that currently prints technical manuals for companies like Hewlett-Packard and Cisco. ePAC’s highly robotized technology prints and binds these elaborate books, on demand, in a matter of seconds. The technology makes sense for technical manuals since the content changes so often and the books don’t require large print runs. However, ePAC’s CEO Sasha Dobrovolsky was at ETRE looking for funding to extend that technology to the larger “trade book” publishing industry in the United States–the kind of books we buy at the mall....
The good news for Dallas is Prescott and Cooper have been in camp, and all three players are under contract. The bad news is things aren’t getting any easier with Elliott still holding out and word leaking that Prescott turned down a $30 million-per-year extension offer. So the distractions continue for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. 2019 NFL PREDICTIONS:Road to Super Bowl ends with Dallas on top So how will these contract issues get resolved?...
Here’s a closer look at both: Nationals: Wilmer Difo, IF 2017 stats: .271/.319/.370, 332 AB, 5 HR, 10 2B, 74 K, 24 BB It’s tough to stand out on a roster as stacked as the one in Washington, but if Difo can find a spot in the infield to get regular starts, he’s bound to become a favorite of new Nationals manager Dave Martinez. Signed out of the Dominican Republic when he was 18, Difo took little time to reach the majors....
The 12-year-old orca, known to research groups as Sheuen or PTN021, had stranded herself along the Valdes Peninsula and been unable to return to the water, the Orca Rescues Foundation said in a Facebook post. The orca was still alive when rescue teams arrived. Attempts were made to save her life but she died early on Monday. Rescue teams believe she became stranded while attempting to hunt sea lions that live along the shoreline....
The Cherries picked up four points from their first two games, drawing at home to Sheffield United before winning 2-1 away against Aston Villa. It is by all means a return Bournemouth coach Eddie Howe will be happy with, given seven players are out injured. A lengthy injury list makes the job of stopping City even harder. Only VAR and some uncharacteristically wayward finishing prevented the defending Premier League champions from making it two wins in two games against Tottenham Hotspur last week....
While all previous seasons had their transfer deadline day set for August 31 – which meant that transfers continued for a good couple of weeks after the initial start of the campaign – the majority of Premier League clubs voted to bring the deadline earlier as to avoid disruption and interruption of their season with players leaving and arriving. Clubs in England will still be able to sell to other leagues but will no longer be able to buy after August 9, which will change the overall narrative of deadline day....
