THE AENEID by Olivier Kemeid, translated by Maureen Labonté (Stratford). At the Studio Theatre, Stratford. Runs in rep to September 25. $25-$189. 1-800-567-1600, stratfordfestival.ca. See listing. Rating: NNN
Classic Greek and Roman tales reinterpreted for modern audiences have been trendy this summer, starting with Soulpepper’s Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts I, II, III), with its echoes of the Odyssey.
Here it’s Virgil’s Roman epic the Aeneid – at least its first half – that gets the update in Olivier Kemeid’s play of the same name, making its English premiere in a translation by Maureen Labonté for the Stratford Festival. An ambitious project, the show succeeds better in its second half.
The original follows the wanderings of heroic Aeneas after the fall of Troy and his eventual settling in Italy, where he becomes the ancestor of the Romans.
Kemeid’s twist is to make Aeneas (Gareth Potter) a common man fleeing the military destruction of his unnamed city; his companions include his infant son, Ascanius, his father, Anchises (Michael Spencer-Davis), and two women (Karen Robinson and Bahareh Yaraghi). His wife, Creusa (the powerful Monice Peter), dies as they try to escape but returns in ghostly form to spur on her husband.
The group meets Achates (Saamer Usmani), Aeneas’s friend, who accompanies them from one inhospitable land and storm-tossed sea voyage to another in their search for a place to settle. Modern-day refugees, they are unwilling to forget the past or their mother soil but know they must find their future in a new homeland.
The play’s first half has an unfocused feel, its narrative sometimes vaguely shaped and emphasizing philosophical musings rather than the story. The second snaps into sharper focus with a greater stress on plot and emotionally engaging characters.
Part of the problem is the physical movement component, which starts effectively but soon gets in the way of the story rather than helping tell it. The company’s rolling on the floor, sometimes as waves ebbing and flowing, works the first time but then becomes annoying.
Still, in the hands of director Keira Loughran, sections of the first act are striking, among them Hector’s (Mike Nadajewski) description of his city’s destruction and, later, an episode in which two well-off, condescending tourists (Nadajewski and Lanise Antoine Shelley) on a beach holiday confront the group of washed-up refugees.
Irony, tension and dark comedy grow richer when the upscale resort’s manager (Tiffany Claire Martin) tries to deal with the starving refugees. There’s also drama when the group meets Achmaenides (Josue Laboucane), an enemy they pull from the sea.
In the second half, the script allows Potter, always an engaging actor, to become a more active figure. This part features a number of authoritative performances, starting with that of Robinson in several roles: a seemingly concerned but actually uncaring immigration officer; the sibyl (resembling a brothel madam) who takes Aeneas to meet his dead father in the underworld; and Allecto, a furious camp refugee who’s had enough of being ignored.
There’s also fine work by Shelley as the touching Elissa, a refugee who becomes involved with the hero. She’s the romantic Dido figure from Virgil, whom Aeneas must leave to fulfil his nation-building mission.
Spencer-Davis as Anchises’s ghost has a splendidly sweeping speech about the souls of the exiled, a litany that draws on various cultures and periods, and, in the show’s final section, Yaraghi scores as Lavinia, a sympathetic nurse who joins Aeneas and his son (Malakai Magassouba) in a new promised land. | https://nowtoronto.com/stage/theatre/modern-take-on-the-aeneid-looks-at-the-plight-of-refugees/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | nowtoronto.com/82b38929730de5f6ac69a5a0e7ac41dda37c9ae5ada573eb8926f0a349662001.json | |

The CNE's food vendors are again reaching for chocolate-covered, deep-fried greatness this year, with Toronto vendors piloting everything from cricket hot dogs to fried meatloaf sandwiches at this year's fair. Cabbagetown Taiwanese snack bar Kanpai unveiled a brand-new Japanese concept and menu, and it's doing so well at the Ex, it might soon have a permanent home.
Yatai launched with a six-item menu at the Food Building last week. Its star: the ramen burger, a food item that debuted (where else) in Brooklyn in 2013, but took its time making its way to Toronto.
"It isn’t necessarily anything new, but I don’t think anyone’s done it at this level," says Kanpai's Trevor Lui. "We’ve souped it up a bit in terms of the ingredients." Specifically, there's two Japanese ramen buns, grilled with sesame oil and topped with a five-ounce beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, pickled cabbage and teriyaki mayo.
"It’s a fun balance of texture," he says. "People have a lot of questions - is the bun soft? It’s crispy on the outside, but then you get into the crispiness of the vegetables, the gooiness of the cheese, and then the kick of the beef patty all in one big bite."
Other offerings include karaage (Japanese fried chicken) that's battered and fried on the spot, "durty fries" with teriyaki butter and Japanese seasonings, and chicken-stuffed gyoza.
He adds the Kanpai team was looking at opening a second restaurant, with a location already scouted – and given the ramen burger's success at the CNE, he's looking at what kind of part Yatai could play in the new spot. "(The ramen burger) may become part of that. We’re gonna see how we can get this to the people," he says.
In the meantime, fueled (largely) by ramen, the queues are coming non-stop. "We’re running double shifts every day to keep up," Lui says.
"We’re really happy with the response, because we’ve been getting the longest lineup thus far – I think we’re trading blows with the sushi burrito (at SuBu). It’s an all out Japanese food battle."

Opens Friday (August 26). See listing. Rating: NNN
Now in his 90s, Swiss-American photographer and underground filmmaker Robert Frank has lived through – and generated art from – more creative and political movements than most of us will ever know. His collaborators have included Beat authors, rock stars and No Wave New York nobility.
Perhaps it’s the staggering breadth of Frank’s experience that made director Laura Israel feel she had no choice but to render her documentary portrait of Frank a blur. Don’t Blink, -indeed.
Visiting Frank’s Manhattan apartment and Nova Scotia cabin, Israel logged extensive interviews with Frank and his wife, June Leaf. They’re intelligent, articulate artists, but the statements assembled in here rarely surpass the banal. Interesting topics are raised and promptly abandoned, leaving us waiting for follow-up questions that never come.
Still, the trove of archival material glimpsed in Don’t Blink is thrilling, and the soundtrack teems with smartly chosen songs by Tom Waits, Patti Smith, Charles Mingus, and, of course, the Rolling Stones, the subjects of Frank’s brilliant, never-released Cocksucker Blues.
That film, along with Frank’s legendary book The Americans and his later, personal films about loss and endurance, is the product of a visionary outsider whose best work, even when bleak or tawdry, never fails to convey a ferocious love of people and the world. | https://nowtoronto.com/movies/reviews/dont-blink-robert-frank-gives-a-decent-overview-of-the-eclectic-artist/ | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | nowtoronto.com/ebad2f4cdb174e317de833043151923894976b58553b3db0297719ce9348309a.json | |

Instead, Twist - originally a duo conceived by singer/songwriter Laura Hermiston and Holy Fuck's Brian Borcherdt, who contributed to and co-produced Spectral - touches on minimal, Creation Records-indebted shoegaze and lo-fi pop gems smothered in dense noise.
That combo isn't exactly new, but Hermiston's dreamy vocals and cohesive vision make Spectral vital, singular and refreshing, like the work of peers like Katie Crutchfield and Angel Olsen. Though Spectral has some outside collaborators, including Jennie Vee and Crocodiles' Charlie Rowell, it's decidedly Hermiston's show, and there isn't a note out of place.
Unless it's meant to be, that is. Spectral's spooky centrepiece, Slums And Seaports, ditches the more straight-ahead pop undercurrents of the surrounding songs to conjure a sea shantyish nightmare that serves as a warning against unwanted advances, as Hermiston sings, "I don't wanna give all my love away." The album's other outlier - sparse acoustic finisher Where To Lie - is also a highlight, with a vocal melody that artfully weaves between soft sadness and steely self-acceptance.
Then there are the fun moments: Pavement's thunderous pop, Can't Wait's aquatic dreaminess and thrash breakdown, the washed-out, sun-kissed anti-anthem Soaked. Standout Sin Monster collects all these elements into one package, creating an irresistible warped hit that starts starkly, teases at an impending explosion and then bursts open into thick, blissful noise.
The shadowy fuzzed-out Spectral is one of the year's most solid debuts. And Buzz has another hype-worthy act on its hands.

ROMEO & JULIET by William Shakespeare (Shakespeare in the Ruff). At Withrow Park (725 Logan). Runs to September 4. Pwyc ($15 sugg). See listing. shakespeareintheruff.com. Rating: NNN
Shakespeare in the Ruff can be relied on for a stimulating, unusual take on the Bard, and the company’s fifth production, Romeo & Juliet, continues the tradition. Much of the show works in terms of storytelling, but Shakespeare’s poetry isn’t always delivered clearly.
Director Andrea Donaldson offers a modern interpretation (there’s a touch of Rihanna and a call of “You go, girl,” along with Jenna McCutchen’s contemporary costumes), with the central couple played by two female actors, Kaitlyn Riordan (Juliet) and Vivien Endicott-Douglas (Romeo). This Romeo is gender-fluid, and his (the masculine pronoun is used throughout the play) interest in Juliet isn’t an issue for most of those around him.
(This isn’t the first time that local companies have cast a woman as Romeo; there have been two other such productions recently.)
This is a world controlled by women: Verona’s prince is female (Andrea Davis), and both warring houses are similarly helmed, with Phillipa Domville as Capulet and Ellora Patnaik as Montague.
And Friar Lawrence (Richard Lee) isn’t your standard Catholic clergyman; his clothes and accessories suggest various world faiths.
The action moves swiftly in the company’s new Withrow Park location, on a long flight of stairs and a hillside in the southwest section of the park; characters go “offstage” by stepping behind trees or disappearing over the hill.
This production of the iconic love story may be short on poetry, but it’s believable in terms of Romeo and Juliet’s delight in their budding romance. Riordan is initially bookish but later impulsive and generous, Endicott-Douglas brash but with a hidden dreamy side that appears in the ballad he sings (with the audience as backup chorus) to her. Their balcony scene is both comic and touching, the control moving back and forth between them.
Brendan McMurtry-Howlett plays both the boyish, excitable Mercutio, here with a touch of wildness about him, and the more proper Paris, Juliet’s conservative suitor. Also doubling are Patnaik, as the bawdy nurse, who has trouble reading Google Maps and dances at one point with kathak-style ankle bells, and Lee, whose fiery, loose-canon Tybalt constantly insults Romeo by referring to him as “she” and, at one point, “villainess.” In this snipped version of the play, with a cast of eight, Wayne Burns’s Benvolio is given more to do than in the original.
Too bad the language is occasionally muddied; some performers convince us what their characters feel less through their words than through their passionate involvement in the action.
A special nod to Andre du Toit’s lighting: fairy lights hang from trees or are bunched with hidden flashlights into “bouquets” held by the actors to shine on themselves and others. Du Toit has also devised large and small balls, some covered with feathers, that illuminate dark spots on the hill or highlight a scene.
With the aid of those and other hand-held lights, he creates an ethereal, shimmering world; Donaldson puts the lighting to good use, notably in Juliet’s funeral procession. | https://nowtoronto.com/stage/theatre/review-romeo-juliet-goes-modern-and-gender-fluid/ | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | nowtoronto.com/cc5011e3d401b565ac4e4a10ae40d1295101918d0dfdc6d98731aab64668f4e7.json | |

KEYS N KRATES with MANNIE FRESH, LUNICE, ARAABMUZIK and RIVER TIBER at Sunnyside Pavilion, Sunday, August 28. Rating: NNN
Toronto electronic trio Keys N Krates’ second annual Birthday Party festival had the feel of a very extravagant kid’s bash, complete with clowns, cartoon mascots, amusement park games and balloons.
The kitschy concept was popular enough that KNK brought it back after last year’s inaugural event, but it made for a weird fit with some of the acts on their eclectic line-up.
River Tiber’s mid-afternoon set of sensitive indie pop/R&B was an odd soundtrack to watching gangs of fuzzy mascots accosting listeners. Playing with a full band, Tiber’s introspective crooning didn’t quite connect with the crowd, who were clearly there to party.
By the time producer AraabMuzik took the stage, Sunnyside Pavilion was busy enough that his lightning-fast finger-drumming on his sampler quickly filled the dance floor. Most of his set focused on the festival-trap sound, but towards the end he threw down a medley of classic funk breaks, which was a welcome reprieve from the relentless builds and drops.
Compared with Araabmusik’s virtuosic sampler workout, Montreal beatmaker Lunice did very little with his controller and laptop, and instead spent most of his set hamming it up for the crowd, dancing, and lip-syncing to his favourite tracks. Southern rap heavyweight and Cash Money Records veteran Mannie Fresh followed, with a crowd pleasing set of hip-hop anthems, delivered with a casual confidence.
By the time Keys N Krates hit the stage, it was dark enough for their fancy lighting system to be effective, although their live show is engaging enough that they didn’t really need the lasers and strobes. Their simple formula of live drums, keys and turntables gave the audience lots to connect to visually, and they’ve got a wide enough set of influences – hip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass, pop – to avoid the monotony of contemporary EDM.

Opens Friday (August 26). See listing. Rating: NNNN
It’s taken two and a half years for In Order Of Disappearance to make it to North America. Trust me, it was worth the wait.
Hans Petter Moland’s mordant thriller stars Stellan Skarsgård as Nils Dickman, a dutiful husband and father in a quiet Norwegian village. He’s so committed to his job as a snowplow operator, he’s just been named citizen of the year.
When his son is murdered, Nils sets out on a measured, meticulous rampage to bring down the gangsters who killed him, and inadvertently triggers a war between Norwegian and Serbian drug rings.
The film will evoke comparisons to Fargo because of its scenes of blood being spilled against crisp snowy backdrops, but its real connection is to Joel and Ethan Coen’s work in Blood Simple and Burn After Reading, where acts of violence beget blind, foolish reprisals. And just as those films got funnier as their situations worsened, Moland’s movie delights in the inappropriate laughs to be found in mounting darkness.
He also knows how to make the most of Skarsgård, a regular collaborator since 1995’s Zero Kelvin. Nils’s mission is never mocked, and his pain is taken seriously. The chaos around him, though? That’s fair game. | https://nowtoronto.com/movies/reviews/scandinavian-thriller-in-order-of-disappearance-shouldnt-disappear-from-screens/ | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | nowtoronto.com/4a40252f767dfb55806dbec8b581eddf82a9c4783455964e6b0569f837d7b87b.json | |

“On Telegram, the ISIS followers are laying out detailed plans to conduct bombing attacks in the west,” reported voanews.com on Monday.
“Encrypted communications among terrorists constitute a challenge during investigations. Solutions must be found to enable effective investigation. While at the same time protecting the digital privacy of citizens by ensuring the availability of strong encryption,” the voanews.com report further added.
It may be mentioned here that ISIS recently released a technology guide ranking the security of over 30 chat apps — including WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal.
“Reports indicate that Telegram, with over 100 million users, is currently hot among ISIS supporters after WhatsApp initiated end-to-end encryption to its chats. ISIS supporters began using Telegram in 2015 shortly after the app announced a new feature called ‘Channels’ that helps users connect anonymously,” the news report further stated.
It may be mentioned here that France and Germany have already issued statements expressing their will to crackdown against ISIS and its supporters on Telegram. | http://www.iraqinews.com/featured/twitter-crackdown-isis-now-turns-telegram-app/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.iraqinews.com/fdbf7f3ad18f80f8357c027f007b1eef7ce897c50e250aebd95958de052f2da0.json |

Steinmeier also condemned the attacks launched by the Kurdistan Workers Party on Turkey, and added that the Kurdish forces are also fighting ISIS. | http://www.iraqinews.com/baghdad-politics/germany-warns-turkey-attacking-kurds-syria/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.iraqinews.com/e85add8ca2d050252cd5e760ec3bb059f6dfa129a6e24ac6d3acdc8d7eab267f.json |

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – Iraqi Ministry of Oil on Saturday announced that the Iraqi government would consider selling crude through Iran if talks with the Kurdistan Region on an agreement to share oil revenues fails.
Iraq’s deputy Oil Minister Fayadh al-Nema told ‘Reuters’,” Iraq’s state oil marketing organization (SOMO) is planning to hold talks with the Kurdistan Regional Government, possibly next week, about Iraqi oil exported through Turkey.”
Al-Nema added, “If the negotiations come to a close without an agreement we will start to find a way in order to sell our oil because we need money, either to Iran or other countries. Crude pumping resumed on the instructions of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi after some understanding between Baghdad and Erbil.”
KRG ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has been in talks with Iran since early this year over oil agreements. There have been talks with Tehran over building a pipeline to Iran, but there has been no firm agreement. | http://www.iraqinews.com/business-iraqi-dinar/iraq-plans-sell-oil-through-iran-talks-with-kurdistan-fail/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.iraqinews.com/a23bff29695d1a0c34a8b95ffaf3db15bbcc671e1413108dfaa807edd093665f.json |

The Central Command spokesman Colonel John Thomas said, “In the last several hours, we have received assurance that all parties involved are going to stop shooting at each other and focus on the ISIS threat.”
“It’s a loose agreement for at least the next couple of days and we are hoping that it will solidify,” he added.
The truce came apparently as part of Washington’s effort to defuse the tension between both parties.
It is worth mentioning here that the Syrian government condemned the Turkish military’s intervention and considered it as an ‘obvious’ violation to the Syrian sovereignty, while the Kurds said the aim of the Turkish troops was not to fight ISIS but to restrain the movement of the Kurdish groups especially near the borders with Turkey. | http://www.iraqinews.com/arab-world-news/jarablus-military-council-turkish-army-agree-temporary-truce/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.iraqinews.com/71f1fc342454145a1fd871555d5a44540a82d55f5758ee80af75de02990251b1.json |

The survey further suggested the presence of other graves in Mosul and Raqqa.
“There are about 72 mass graves in Iraq and Syria, which contains the remains of nearly 15000 victims who were killed by ISIS in the two nations,” the survey report said.
According to survey report, smallest grave contained the remains of three bodies, and the largest one is believed to contain the remains of thousand victims.
“The high number of bodies and the graves is a clear evidence of the genocides carried out by ISIS against the ethnic groups in Syria and thousands of Yezidi people in Iraq,” the report further stated.
The report further revealed that one of the 17 graves discovered in Syria holds the bodies of hundreds of members of a single tribe close to completely exterminated when ISIS violently took over their region.
The Sinjar Mountain in Iraq is the location of another horrifying discovery. Roughly 70 people of the Yezidi tribe tried to flee their Sinjar homes before ISIS invaded in August 2014.
Officials do not even guess the number of dead inside at least 16 of the Iraqi graves, mostly in territory too dangerous to excavate. The estimates are based on the memories of traumatized survivors.
“This is a drop in the ocean of mass graves expected to be discovered in the future in Syria,” added the survey report.
According to the survey, other mass graves are expected to be discovered in the Iraqi city of Mosul and Syrian city of Raqqa if the Iraqi forces backed by the international coalition succeeded in forcing an ISIS retreat. | http://www.iraqinews.com/iraq-war/forces-in-iraq-and-syria-discovers-72-mass-graves-areas-freed-from-isis/ | en | 2016-08-03T00:00:00 | www.iraqinews.com/3b5d3755d3de3264bb774f6042678f7a0b3ea198e33e58e9bb4919cb1c651fe9.json |

(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, has expressed deep dismay at the execution of 36 people in Iraq in relation to a 2014 massacre during which hundreds of military cadets were killed.
OHCHR spokesperson Cécile Pouilly said at a regular briefing in Geneva, “The High Commissioner urged the authorities to ensure that any trials conducted in connection with the massacre respected due process and international fair trial rather than be fueled by vengeance,” adding that, “Unfortunately, this was not the case.”
In June 2014, ISIS attacked the Camp Speicher military base and killed 1,700 cadets. In the aftermath of the killings, the UN human rights had expressed that the brutality of the Camp Speicher massacre was exceptional and that it was important to respond to the plight of the survivors and families of the victims.
The OHCHR spokesperson said that the executions that were carried out on Sunday, were particularly worrying given serious due process concerns and fair trial shortcomings.
“The individuals who have been executed were convicted only on the basis of information provided by secret informants or by confessions allegedly extracted under torture,” Pouilly added. | http://www.iraqinews.com/baghdad-politics/un-dismayed-execution-of-36-people-convicted-for-camp-speicher-massacre-in-iraq/ | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.iraqinews.com/2791675b856ce295cecce83555dc7b231ff0afece143925ef3f41389827443d5.json |

Quintana wasn't falling for the tomfoolery during the White Sox's 9-3 victory, quickly reminding Iannetta, and every one of the 27,318 at U.S. Cellular Field, of the count by flashing three fingers, then two.
The All-Star left-hander unfilled the full count on the next pitch when Iannetta swung at strike three to end the fifth inning.
The White Sox, though, had no such problems reaching the bases, and clearing them, sometimes faster than others.
Todd Frazier, who singled to start a four-run rally in the fifth, chugged home from first base as Justin Morneau caboosed behind him to third with an RBI triple. Avisail Garcia saved Morneau some breath when he hit a 415-foot home run for a 6-1 lead.
"It was amazing to come back to the mound with more confidence," Quintana said. "What was really impressive was the offense tonight was really good for us and for me. It's fun when you're throwing when a lot of runs are scored."
Catcher Alex Avila, playing his first game after missing nearly two months with a bum right hamstring, guided the next pitch over the left-field wall to make it 7-1.
Photos from the game on Aug. 27, 2016, at U.S. Cellular Field.
"I feel like it's opening day for me," Avila said before the game.
Quintana, though, was in midseason form.
After yielding a double to Leonys Martin to lead off the game, Quintana retired 11 in a row.
The soft-spoken Quintana, who entered Saturday third in the American League with a 2.84 ERA, quieted the Mariners' bats for the most part. He allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits with a walk and eight strikeouts before he departed to a standing ovation, his 72/3 innings in the books.
Quintana's performance was anticipated by Sox ace 1A Chris Sale, who struck out 14, walked none and received the opposite of run support during his 3-1 complete-game loss Friday.
"We have just as good of a chance, if not a better chance (Saturday), with 'Q,'" Sale said Friday night.
Sox manager Robin Ventura praised Quintana's attitude as the team traditionally has done a terrible job giving him run support. He said Quintana never has wavered.

He reached 10 victories this season, calling it a big benchmark after three straight nine-win seasons. And now he has 11 victories.
"He has come a long way getting himself into that next category, which is guys you can count on, getting up in that elite category," Ventura said. "It has taken a while for everyone else to realize it, but we have the utmost confidence when he's out there."
Hitters, on the other hand, don't. The Mariners are testament to that. Quintana has allowed four or fewer earned runs in 47 of his last 49 starts.
For a change, the Sox wasted little time offensively. Tim Anderson tripled and scored on Melky Cabrera's sacrifice fly to tie it 1-1 in the first. Cabrera returned after missing two games with the flu.
Jose Abreu then stretched his hitting streak to 10 games with a 425-foot home run to center for a 2-1 lead.
Tyler Saladino singled home Garcia in the fifth and added a two-run homer in the seventh that put the Sox on top 9-2.
"I think Q's probably the happiest guy of anybody," Ventura said of the offensive outburst. "You like seeing that kind of offense and you like seeing balls over the fence."
Fittingly, Quintana struck out the last batter he faced, Martin, on his 104th pitch.
Quintana patted Avila on the helmet before heading for the dugout, another job well done.

Trump will visit the Great Faith Ministries on Saturday in Detroit, a predominantly black church located in the heart of the city, said Pastor Mark Burns, a Trump supporter who arranged a meeting between the Republican presidential nominee and the church's leader, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson.
Trump will "give an address to outline policies that will impact minorities and the disenfranchised in our country," Burns, who is black, said in a statement. "I see, as I have seen, the heart and compassion Mr. Trump has for all Americans, which includes minority communities whose votes have been for granted for far too long."
The Republican presidential candidate will speak about education, unemployment and safety, Burns said in a campaign statement Sunday night.
Burns has emerged as a top surrogate for Trump within the black community, frequently appearing on cable networks and introducing Trump at his rallies. In recent weeks, Trump has made a pitch to African-American voters in his speeches, though he has done so in front of mostly white audiences. He has also held at least three roundtables with leaders from minority communities in recent weeks in Trump Tower and on the campaign trail.
Trump has been trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton in polls, largely on the strength of her support among black and Hispanic voters. In a speech last Thursday she accused him of stoking racial resentment, and in response Trump labeled her a bigot. But Trump has a long way to go to reach minority voters. In a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, 77 percent of non-white voters backed Clinton. The same poll found that 59 percent of all likely voters said they agreed with the statement that "the way Donald Trump talks appeals to bigotry."
"The black church is a very powerful institution," Jackson said in an interview. "Mr. Trump wanted to speak to the Christian African-American community as a whole. And he reached out to us. We thought it was a very good gesture of him to try to come into our community and explain to us his policies."
Jackson is the founder of the Impact Network, which says it's the U.S.'s "only African-American founded and operated Christian broadcast television" network.
Jackson, who identified himself as a Democrat and said he is undecided on how he'll vote in November, said that he believes it is "important that Mr. Trump be able to speak to our community and be able to lay out his plan for our community."
Jackson said that he will be presenting questions to Trump that are "relevant to our community, especially when it comes to economic opportunity, to jobs, and also when you look at many of the African Americans who have shot by police."
"The bottom line is what will his administration do to make sure we don't have a divided country?" Jackson said.
"I believe it's important, again, that Mr. Trump be able to speak to our community and be able to lay out his plan for our community," Jackson said. "There are many adversities and setbacks in our communities when it comes to crime, education and jobs. We don't have any more time to waste."
Trump has been direct in his approach on the campaign trail, though he's made his appeals in front of predominantly white crowds in suburban areas. "You're living in poverty. You're schools are no good. You have no jobs," Trump said earlier this month at a speech in Dimondale, Michigan. "What the hell do you have to lose?"
At a meeting last week in Trump Tower in New York, Trump criticized financial regulations for having a negative impact on the African American community. "Banks have been -- whether it's through certain laws, Dodd-Frank, if you look at some of these laws it's impossible for banks to loan money to anybody," Trump said at the meeting. "But the African-American community has been treated absolutely terribly by the banks."
Jackson said that he has made a "formal request" for an appearance by Clinton to her campaign but "we haven't received a response."
Jackson praised Trump for visiting Detroit, and noted that the last two Republican presidential candidates, Mitt Romney and John McCain rarely made forays into mostly black urban areas. "I applaud him for coming to the inner city and sitting down and feeling the heartbeat of the people." | http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-wp-blm-trump-outreach-baa07c2a-6e0c-11e6-993f-73c693a89820-20160829-story.html | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chicagotribune.com/4d3544e7306fd8ee4f17c527b8ab5901ee52c4176f3f865329548bfb25e30297.json |

Agency spokesman Kjartan Knutsen told the AP it's not uncommon for reindeer or other wildlife to be killed by lightning strikes, "but we have not heard about such numbers before."
He said reindeer tend to stay very close to each other in bad weather, which could explain how so many were killed at once.
Thousands of reindeer migrate across the barren Hardanangervidda plateau as the seasons change.

I have visions of a President Donald Trump ripping up the U.S. Constitution, instituting a religious test for prospective immigrants and tinkering with the libel laws, enabling him to sue unfriendly reporters.
I like to think of myself as a relatively honest man. So I have to add that, unless Trump wins the November election, his end run around the Constitution is more rhetorical than real. But the present occupant of the White House has sometimes played fast and loose with the rule of law, thinking himself on the side of the angels.
I am indebted to a Texas judge for prying that realization out of my unconscious — the deep recesses of the mind where, according to Sigmund Freud, we hide unpalatable facts from ourselves.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor enjoined the Obama administration from requiring public schools to allow some transgender students to use the women's room, although they are biologically male. Other transgender students would have been allowed to use the men's room, though they are biologically female, under the administration's now-suspended mandate.
Texas and 22 other states had sued, arguing that the regulation ran roughshod over mores dating to time immemorial. Adam and Eve, the Bible says, "knew they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings."
President Barack Obama explained the bathroom mandate as an extension of civil rights to sexual minorities. His attorney general, Loretta Lynch, told a transgender group: "History is on your side."
That may well be. A court could find that the mandate is perfectly kosher. Even so, Judge O'Connor's order shows that the Obama administration took a shortcut to the future — one that is deeply troubling.
The administration based its transgender mandate on a piece of congressional legislation known as Title IX. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex by educational institutions receiving federal funding. When it was enacted in 1972, "sex" and "gender" were synonyms. Since then, "gender" has taken on a secondary meaning of an individual's perception of being male or female.
In defending its bathroom mandate, the administration argues that what Title IX called "sex" also encompasses what is now known as "gender." So new legislation wasn't needed to give transgender students a choice of toilet facilities, locker rooms and showers. They were just "interpreting" Title IX, the feds say.
Government agencies regularly issue interpretations of congressional legislation. There is an established process for doing so, as Judge O'Connor noted. A potential interpretation has to be published, and the public given an opportunity to express its opinion. To be sure, that isn't necessary for a trifling change of a word or two.
But it's a world-class long jump from "sex" in Title IX — meaning women and men have equal rights — to "gender" in Obama's mandate — meaning transgender people have unprecedented bathroom privileges. To my way of thinking, that can't be done by presidential fiat. Only Congress can do it.
Yet the administration didn't preadvertise its bathroom mandate. Obama didn't ask Congress to update Title IX to include gender provisions. Yet there was precedent for doing so. Title IX of 1972 was itself a congressional update on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Convinced he knew what was the right thing to do, Obama authorized the Justice Department and the Department of Education to send a memo to the nation's schools, on May 13 of this year. Basically it said: "This is now the law. Do it or else!"
The memo noted: "Schools receiving federal money may not discriminate based on a student's sex, including a student's transgender status."
In a previous dispute over immigration policy, Obama explained why he felt entitled to unilaterally change the rules. Frustrated by Congress' failure to act, in 2014, he announced new criteria for deciding which of the 11 million immigrants in this country illegally get to stay, and which get deported. It is currently suspended pending review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Even before that, the president anticipated criticism, saying: "To those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill."
Yet bypassing the rules in order to do a good deed presents us with a classic slippery-slope problem. If one president is given a pass, how can another be denied the privilege?
Suppose Trump is elected president. Suppose he, too, issues executive orders putting into effect some of his campaign promises. Like subjecting prospective immigrants to "extreme vetting." Or keeping all Muslims — American citizens included — from entering the U.S. "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."
Also suppose that liberals, myself included, haven't called Obama out for bending the rules. How, then, can we protest President Trump's transgressions with a straight face?

Wipe it out.
Harbaugh wants a change in the number of games (none would be fine with him) and he wants a change in the number of players on the roster (more, pronto). He’s willing to add more regular-season games as long as he has enough players to withstand the injuries. He wants to make injuries matter by playing only games that matter.
It all makes sense -- too much sense for the league and players association to agree on.
“It’s not the ‘70s anymore,’’ Harbaugh said after the Ravens lost tight end Benjamin Watson to an Achilles injury in a practice game last weekend. “These guys playing in these games -- it’s tough -- and they’re not meaningful games. They are important to get better, and they improve us. But we football coaches can find ways to get our guys ready and get our players evaluated without the kind of risk that a game necessarily entails.’’
The only thing we’ve learned from Bears preseason games is that the offense stinks. It might be too early to start with the "Death-Spiral Dowell'' stuff, but it is being taken under advisement. If you want to argue they need all four games to improve, then you have to remember the starters play only three games because the final game in Clevelend is nothing more than “Thank you, sir. May I have another?’’
And if the third game Saturday was supposed to be the PSAT of practice games, then the Bears better hope they can get a GED somewhere somehow someday.
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that the Bears’ best effort, such as they have had a best effort, came in the game against the Patriots following a week of joint practices. Those seemed to be more than just practices. Players executed with some pride, not wanting to be embarrassed. Maybe it was practicing against football royalty, or maybe it was practicing against a live opponent who’s a real opponent, but it was the only worthwhile thing the Bears have done this summer.
And you know what? The Bears probably didn’t even need the game that followed, and that’s Harbaugh’s point because injuries rank among the issues that kill a team’s season before it gets started.
The violence of the game and the new concussion protocol demand bigger rosters. Having more players available reduces some chance of injuries through fresh waves of subs. Fresher players through bigger rosters also argues for better football.
It will take money from the owners to increase rosters. It will take players’ showing resolve and smarts at the bargaining table. We haven’t seen much of either historically.
Last negotiation, the players balked at playing two more regular-season games because of the toll it took. Yes. Well. Look at the toll the fake games have taken.
The owners would realize more revenue through an 18-game regular season, while the players would get paid real money earlier instead of the grilled cheese sandwiches they get paid in camp.
If I were a coach, I’d want an end to the nonsense of practice games, but I wouldn’t leave it to the players and owners to arrive at this decision by themselves anytime soon.
Here’s what the coaches ought to do: Sit their stars. The coaches ought to get together, all 32 of them, and refuse to play their starting quarterback, top running back, top wide receiver and top defensive players in these useless scrimmages. Then let the NFL and individual teams deal with the broadcast partners, corporate sponsors, advertisers and noisy ticket buyers at the fake games who feel extorted. | http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rosenblog/ct-nfl-preseason-games-rosenbloom-20160829-column.html | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chicagotribune.com/60980b24aa608cc2329fd01d64ea762ab4a2d5eb61e65e81ef6d45eaca3c6468.json |

Mike Pence directed all state agencies to halt the resettlement of Syrian refugees here in Indiana.
Pence is now running on the Republican presidential ticket with Donald Trump, who has called for a temporary ban on Muslims coming into the United States, halting immigration from unspecified countries and sending Syrian refugees back to their war-torn homeland. During the campaign, Pence has also boasted about his move to block refugees in his state.
"In Indiana, we suspended the Syrian refugee program . . . in the wake of the terrorist attack," Pence said on CBS's "60 Minutes" last month.
But things did not quite work out the way Pence says they did.
A single family scheduled to come to Indiana was diverted to Connecticut shortly after Pence's announcement in November. But thanks to a lawsuit and subsequent court ruling overturning Pence's directive, 140 Syrian refugees have since resettled in Indiana, with more expected in coming weeks. The state's attorney general also argued in court that the directive "does not purport to preclude any refugees from settling in Indiana."
"You can't pick and choose who comes to your state," said Cole Varga, executive director of Exodus Refugee Immigration, which resettles refugees here.
Exodus and the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana sued Pence days after his directive, claiming that the governor did not have constitutional authority to bar people from Indiana. While more than 30 governors have opposed housing Syrian refugees, Pence was the only one to be sued over his edict.
Malak Assaf, 25, a Syrian refugee who arrived in Indiana in May 2015, said she cried on the day Pence announced his move to block refugees from coming, fearing her brothers would be trapped overseas and unable to join her.
She had been in Indiana for six months and finally felt settled after her husband found a job and her children enrolled in school.
"It's unfair, and it's not the right thing to do," she said through an interpreter, referring to both Pence's edict and Trump's proposal to send back Syrian refugees. She said those fleeing the vicious civil war in Syria just want a better life and future for their children.
Assaf said she would now miss Indianapolis if she goes out of town, and her brothers have made it to America.
"This is home, and I feel happy here," she said.
After the lawsuit was filed, refugee resettlement groups in Indianapolis ignored Pence's order. In a December meeting, Pence told Archbishop Joseph Tobin he was concerned that Syrian refugees could pose a security risk and that the United States has not put proper screening procedures in place. But Tobin had already decided that the church would continue resettling Syrian families in Indianapolis, even if it had to do so out of pocket.
"This is an essential part of who we are as Catholics, and we're not going to back away from this," said Greg Otolski, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
Richard Primus, a professor at the University of Michigan Law School, said immigration decisions can be made only by the federal government. "Governors don't have the power to stop anyone from coming into their state," he said.
However, Primus said, states could turn down federal money and not participate in specific social-service programs - which is what Pence tried to do.
Indiana wanted to suspend the allocation of specific grants to refugee resettlement agencies, which use the money to fund services such as job counseling. According to court filings, Indiana would not deny Syrians benefits such as Medicaid based on their country of origin and the state would still use federal refugee resettlement grants to pay for services such as English-language instruction for refugee children in schools.
"Governor Pence has merely suspended, in part, a discretionary federal grant program," Indiana Attorney General Gregory F. Zoeller wrote. "This is meant as a deterrent, but if those agencies wish to resettle those refugees regardless, the Governor will not take further actions (besides denying their claims) to stop them."
Zoeller wrote that Pence's action was "far more measured" than the "hyperbolic assertions that the Governor is attempting to 'close [Indiana's] borders' to Syrians."
In February, U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt struck down Pence's directive.
"The State's conduct clearly constitutes national origin discrimination," Walton Pratt wrote, and "in no way furthers the State's asserted interest in the safety of Indiana residents."
Pence's administration appealed. A hearing is set for Sept. 14 at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Chicago.
Trump's presidential campaign did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for Pence in Indiana pointed to the governor's past statements on the issue.
After Pratt's ruling, Pence said the safety of Indiana residents is his first priority and he prefers to err on the side of caution.
"For that reason, following the terrorist attack in Paris and the acknowledgment by the Director of the FBI that there are gaps in the screening for Syrian refugees, I suspended participation by the State of Indiana in the Syrian refugee resettlement program and I stand by that decision," he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Syrians keep coming to Indiana. They include members of the Kylani family, who had never heard of Indianapolis until they landed here in May. After school one day recently in the household, children showed off pictures and books while NBC's "The Voice" ran on television. The Arabic version of the show lends a small touch of the familiar in a place where there are few.
Ahmad Kylani, 37, is an engineer who now spends 12-hour shifts unloading clothing in a warehouse. His wife, 27-year-old Nour Alhassan, one day wants to put her accounting studies to work in the United States. Marya, 6, wore a shirt reading, "happier than a unicorn eating cupcakes on a rainbow." Safwan, 5, excitedly showed his mother a picture of a hamburger. Faisal, 2, pretended to talk on the phone with an empty Tic Tac box.
"I'm real grateful and happy to be here," Ahmad Kylani said through an interpreter.
Kylani said he was "kind of offended" by Trump's and Pence's proposals because they are targeting one specific community. | http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/midwest/ct-pence-indiana-syrian-refugees-20160828-story.html | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.chicagotribune.com/044144788764913768d9d3227cbaab13c8830781416aa750bd55aa47e5d36a11.json |
