Everton call for the reinforcements. Steven Pienaar is on for the increasingly quiet Gerard Deulofeu and Arouna Kone comes on for Leon Osman.
|
Tim Howard to Everton's rescue again! Sergio Aguero turns his marker and has the chance to shoot in the box but the away keeper makes himself big to block and keep it 0-0.
|
Tim Howard puts his boot to good use again to knock Kevin de Bruyne's low cross out of the area with a number of home players lurking. Everton are doing really well to hold the home side at bay here, but I doubt they can hold out under this pressure for 23 more minutes.
|
It is all City now. Raheem Sterling drives across the box to the right side before shooting low across goal, but Tim Howard is able to stick out a boot to prevent it finding the net.
|
City are enjoying a concerted spell of dominance now. Yaya Toure bulldozes through a couple of challenges in the box before his shot is blocked behind. The resulting corner is met by a hooked shot from Sergio Aguero but Tim Howard is equal to it with an instinctive save to palm the ball away. Everton are digging in.
|
"The Manchester City fans have been trying to rouse their side since the start of the second half and they have responded with their best spell of the game, bringing Tim Howard into action on a couple of occasions - Everton are under serious pressure for the first time tonight."
|
City try to keep the pressure up and win a corner but Everton handle it well before De Bruyne spurns possession with a lose flicked pass straight out of play. However, it is more promising from the home side, who are at least being proactive in the game.
|
Two chances in quick succession for City. A low cross almost finds Raheem Sterling eight yards out but he is stopped from shooting by a sliding John Stones. Soon after, Jesus Navas drives a low cross from the right into the side-netting. City coming on strong.
|
That is not one for the Raheem Sterling scrapbook. He has Everton backtracking as he charges towards the box but his shot, which is intended to curl into the far corner of the net, is so wide it doesn't even go out of play on the right.
|
Stones is back on as City attack with a corner, which falls at the feet of Jesus Navas for a shot he hooks slightly past the far post. Decent opportunity.
|
This could be trouble for Everton. John Stones is down and needs treatment and does not look comfortable as he limps over to the touchline. The Toffees have only just got Phil Jagielka back so they could really do without losing his defensive partner.

There’s now a way of asking your Facebook friends for recommendations.
|
The feature is pretty handy if you need a trustworthy cleaner, a new place to take your partner for a meal or maybe even some advice on what film to watch in the cinema.
|
Just ask your mates right? And they’ll post their advice.
|
The ‘recommendations’ post appears with your question above a map, used to pinpoint any suggestions your friends might have.
|
But while you may have spotted others using the feature, if you’ve ever tried to find it yourself you might have realised using it isn’t quite as simple as clicking a button on your status.
|
Still wondering how to trigger the feature? Here’s how.
|
Click on ‘create post’ or start writing in your status bar on either your profile page or homepage.
|
Phrase your query using the word ‘looking for’ or ‘recommendation’ or ‘recommend’ and this should trigger the ‘looking for recommendations’ tag on the social media site.
|
It needs to be a text only post so no pictures or videos or the feature won’t trigger.
|
Once your post in published – add in a map by clicking on the ‘check in’ button and hitting ‘Add __ map to your post’.
|
This should show the place listed in your post and once added it will allow your friends recommendations to be posted on it.

State Treasurer Walker Stapleton uses the Broncos’ home as a backdrop while promoting the Great Colorado Payback, the program that tries to reunite Coloradans with their money.
|
The treasurer’s office is holding more than $600 million worth of unclaimed property, from payroll checks returned by the post office to jewelry found in a safe-deposit box.
|
Stapleton’s son Craigie, 4, steals the show, though, in his starring role at the end of the video, wearing a Broncos jersey and throwing a football.

Mitt Romney 47%: Conservatives defend his comments.
|
What he ought to do is step up and embrace the basic division in our nation, including the fact that nearly half the country pays no income taxes. Acknowledge it — and then explain why, morally, this is not a good thing. Why having no skin in the game while at the same time demanding a say in the proceedings at the federal level is fundamentally undemocratic. One need not embrace the Starship Troopers ethos of Robert A. Heinlein to understand that in a democracy, everyone should pay something — and that to confuse the issue of the (Progressive-era) 16th-amendment-sanctioned federal income taxes with Social Security (“payroll”) levies and state and local taxes is intellectually dishonest.
|
He was telling the truth about the most important issue in the election — how Americans are taxed in hidden as well as open ways so that many of them don’t even realize the degree to which they’re being taxed. Then he should have made the rest of his statement a philippic on Obama and the tax issue.
|
There’s already been a fair deal of lazy commentary comparing Romney’s words to the ones Barack Obama uttered at a San Francisco fundraiser before the 2008 Pennsylvania primary – the stuff about how in bad economic times, “people get bitter, they cling to their guns and religion.” The one commonality between those hidden-tape gaffes is that they inform donors of what they already think about the stupidity of their fellow voters. Any liberal, in 2008, was familiar with Tom Frank’s What’s the Matter With Kansas? thesis about how Republicans suckered poor people into “voting against their interest.” Any conservative, in 2012, is at least familiar with the “lucky ducky” quasi-Marxist theory that people who benefit from government spending will never, ever vote to cut it.
|
Did Romney’s late night (actually, 7 p.m. local time) presser clean up the story? I think it did so in this way: He did not back down from the comments. He left the impression that his point, about moochers versus makers, was valid. And when Limbaugh warms up the microphone again today, he’ll be reinforcing that message, not tearing chunks out of Romney.

Walking down mature tree-lined sidewalks to the neighborhood parks, playgrounds and nearby shopping contributes to the small-town feel of Lyon Village, one of Arlington’s most sought after residential communities. Frank Lyon purchased this land, formerly Robert Cruit’s 19th century weekend and holiday estate and dairy farm, and established Lyon Village, a true community that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1923. Colonial, Tudor and Classical Revival styles are among the distinctive homes within the neighborhood, which embraces the custom brick home at 1839 N. Herndon Street as one of its own.

District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) welcomed back thousands of students across the city for the 2012-2013 school year that started on August 27th. While official enrollment numbers won’t be available until later this fall, DCPS is on track for a positive and productive year that will include modernized facilities across the district, new math standards and curriculum, innovation and technology and improved instruction. These improvements and efforts all come under the strategic direction of A Capital Commitment, DCPS’ five-year, bold plan to improve the school district.

Over the next few weeks, roughly 79 million students will head back to schools around the nation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. When the school year resumes, so too will the perpetual cycle of students missing days of school because they fear bullying. Each day, it is estimated that 160,000 students stay home from school to avoid being bullied.

World War II. Korea. Vietnam. The Evansville-area has lost several soldiers from all three who still haven't come home.
|
Slews of Evansville-area soldiers are still missing.
|
Stephen Richey, head of Evansvile nonprofit Kolibri Forensics, keeps a list of them. Below are all the soldiers he's pinpointed thus far.
|
It's an incomplete list. It doesn't include soldiers lost at sea, for instance. That's because keeping track of missing or dead soldiers is a complicated business. Even the U.S. military has trouble doing it.
|
Now the remains of 55 American soldiers killed during the Korean War are coming home after a deal was struck between North Korea and the Trump administration. But there are so many more, in so many other wars.
|
All these men listed below deserve proper burial. And their families deserve closure.

Tweet Fans of the Pussycat Dolls remember being asked, “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?” One of those dolls was Jessica Sutta, who is now embarking on a solo career. Sutta’s debut album, “Sutta Pop,” will drop in 2012. The singer and dancer will also perform in The Dinah in March 2012, the largest girl party music festival in the world.
|
Q – You were a part of the legendary Pussycat Dolls (PCD), whose hit single, "Don’t Cha," put the band on the map, from 2002 to 2010. You eventually made the decision to leave to pursue a solo career. How did you know it was time to step away from the project?
|
A - When I broke my rib on tour. It felt like it cracked open so much I was holding back for so many years. My artist wanted to come out and play. It was one of the hardest decisions but looking back I'm so grateful for everything I experienced with PCD.
|
Q – Do you ever get sick of people coming up to you and singing, "Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"
|
A - Never! I love it.
|
Q – You’re now embarking on a solo career and your debut album, "Sutta Pop" will drop in 2012. How will this album be different in comparison with the Pussycat Dolls ones you were a part of?
|
A – It’s all about me. It’s about my life. I talk about everything from heartbreak to love, sadness to happiness. I'm bringing you into the "Sutta Pop World."
|
Q – How did it feel to be named one of FHM’s "100 Sexiest Women in The World?"
|
Q – You’re involved with many causes involving the LGBT community. Why do gay rights and gay marriage mean so much to you?
|
A - Gay rights are incredibly important to me. Equality for ALL. Not just for some people because someone classified them as "normal." It will destroy the sanctity of marriage? Have you watched American television? I mean, c'mon. We are on the brink of a huge movement that will change lives. Especially the lives of some of my dearest friends. And I plan to use my celebrity as a voice for the Lesbian and Gay community. Who are we to judge who someone wants to spend the rest of their lives with?
|

|
A - I got invited to be part of this. I'm thrilled and honored to open this year’s Dinah Shore Festivities. I performed there with the Dolls a few years back and had a blast! Can't wait to do it again!
|
Q – Where can we find out more about this event as well as your career?
|
A - You can follow me on twitter @Iamjessicasutta and www.facebook.com/jessicasutta.
|
Awe you are the best my love!!! And yes!!! We must all fight for the right to love freely!!!

In interviews with Good Morning America and Primetime airing this week, Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin wants the world to know he’s a real person, with real feelings. Those feelings apparently include being seriously pissed off at soon-to-be-ex wife Kate Gosselin.
|
“I was beaten down for so long, I couldn’t even make my own decision,” Jon Gosselin says. “And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what’s she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know.” The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star even claims he tried to get Kate to go to marriage counseling, but she refused to go with him.
|
Watch Jon Gosselin’s interview on Good Morning America on Tuesday, Sept. 8, and more on Primetime: Family Secrets at 10 p.m. ET.

PUHLEASE! I don’t buy the crap that comes out of this guy’s mouth. Him running around with college kids is absolutely ridiculous. He’s only shown he needs to grow up and act like an adult; he’s not a kid anymore. For gods’ sakes, date someone closer to your own age! He has shamed his entire family.
|
I THINK THAT JON & KATE NEED TO STOP TALKING TO THE MEDIA(ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE ALWAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING NO PRIVACY)!! WHATEVER THEY FEEL ABOUT EACH OTHER SHOULD BE KEPT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. ARE THEY FORGETTING THAT THEIR 8 CHILDREN ARE WITNESSES TO THEIR NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR? THEY ARE GOING TO REGRET AIRING THEIR SEPARATION/DIVORCE DRAMA IN PUBLIC.

DADT was gone – done – and Barack Obama brought it back, probably for years. That’s just a fact.
|
Glenn was talking about the fact that the Department of Justice is appealing a September district court ruling that held DADT unconstitutional. But this is an argument I have a real problem with. It’s not because I have a problem with court rulings on issues like this, but because I have a problem with district court rulings on issues like this being used as a handy excuse for presidents to overturn laws they don’t like.
|
Let’s face it: if you pick your jurisdiction right you can probably find a district court judge to rule just about anything unconstitutional. It would be easy, for example, to find a district court judge somewhere to say that the healthcare reform law was unconstitutional. If this happened in 2013 and President Palin decided not to appeal the ruling, thus overturning the law, what would we think of this? Not much, and rightfully so. A district court judgment is just flatly not sufficient reason to overturn an act of Congress.
|
I guess the reason this is on my mind is that George Bush is back in the news, and it strikes me that this is the same category of reasoning he used to justify the use of torture on enemy combatants. Bush, of course, didn’t bother with the fig leaf of a court ruling, but he used OLC memos to provide the same kind of excuse to uphold only the laws he wanted to uphold. A lot of liberals spent a lot of time condemning this at the time, and we were right to do so. This is really not a tactic we should be defending now just because the law at stake is one we don’t like.
|
On a different note, I sometimes think that Republicans must be busting a gut over all this. Here they are, working loudly and relentlessly to prevent the repeal of DADT, and what’s the result? Lots of liberals sniping at each other. You can almost hear Karl Rove cackling over his Diet Coke. Political strategy rarely pays off so beautifully.

FILE - In this May, 16, 2014 file photo, a Pakistani border guard stands alert as an excavator digs a trench along Pakistan Afghanistan border at Chaman post in Pakistan.
|
Pakistan says it has started fencing off its long border with Afghanistan and areas vulnerable to cross-border militant attacks are being given priority.
|
Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa revealed the project during a visit Saturday to tribal districts, including Mohmand, near the Afghan border where "terrorists" assaulted outposts from across the other side and killed five Pakistani soldiers this month.
|
Bajwa identified Mohmand and neighboring Bajaur district as "high threat zones", saying fencing them is the military's high priority.
|
An army statement quoted him as saying that efforts are also underway to "evolve a border security mechanism" with Afghan authorities.
|
"A better managed, secure and peaceful border is in mutual interest of both brotherly countries who have given phenomenal sacrifices in war against terrorism," the general said.
|
Without elaborating, the Pakistan army chief said that "technical surveillance means" are also being deployed in addition to regular air surveillance to enhance the border security.
|
Pakistan and Afghanistan share a nearly 2,600 kilometer, largely porous, border and both blame each other for encouraging terrorist infiltration to support deadly attacks on their respective soils.
|
Relations between the countries have nosedived in the last two years over mutual terrorism allegations.
|
Islamabad closed all border crossings with the landlocked country a month ago, saying terrorist attacks in Pakistan were being orchestrated by fugitive anti-state militants sheltering in Afghan border areas.
|
Pakistan reopened the crossings earlier this week to allow legal travelers and thousands of stranded Afghanistan-bound shipping containers to resume their journey.
|
Kabul rejects charges anti-Pakistan militants are using Afghan soil for cross-border attacks and instead demanded Islamabad close insurgent sanctuaries on its side of the border being used to fuel violence in Afghanistan, charges Pakistani authorities deny.

Courtesy of TSAThis Beretta handgun and ammunition was confiscated from carry-on luggage at Syracuse's Hancock International Airport.
|
Syracuse, NY -- A Dutchess County man was stopped Wednesday at Syracuse's Hancock International Airport after a loaded handgun was found in his carry-on bag, authorities said.
|
The Clinton man, who was not identified, had a valid pistol permit, said Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan. He told police he was in a hurry and forgot the Beretta handgun was in his carry-on luggage.
|
Because police had no evidence he intended to commit a crime with the weapon, he was not charged, Connellan said.
|
A Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman said a TSA officer detected the handgun at the X-ray machine. One bullet was in the gun at the time, according to a news release.
|
The 25-calliber pistol and ammunition were confiscated. The man missed his flight to Philadelphia but was allowed to rebook. There was no impact on airport operations, the TSA said.
|
Federal authorities reminded people that weapons are not permitted in carry-on luggage. Travelers may only transport unloaded firearms, and only in locked, hard-sided containers in checked baggage.
|
All firearms, ammunition and firearm parts, including firearm frames and receivers, are prohibited in carry-on baggage.
