Flavelle: Under the terms of the agreement, how much power will Mr. Odinga have? Maathai: They still have to work out the details, but he will have executive powers. We understand that the cabinet will be divided 50-50, and Mr. Odinga will appoint his own cabinet ministers. The president cannot fire him without consulting Parliament. He can’t even fire any of the ministers that the prime minister appoints without first consulting the prime minister....
While sustainable products make up less than one-fifth of all items on the market these days, they’re driving one-third of all growth seen among consumer goods, ranging from skincare to milk, according to New York University’s Stern Center for Sustainable Business. In fact, one in every two new consumer products brands might be considered green, or partly green. It’s not a big mystery why: Eight in ten Americans say sustainability is important to them, and almost 60 percent are willing to change their buying habits to help the planet, says the National Retail Federation....
Democratic candidates for his job see Bush’s absence from soldiers’ funerals as great fodder for their cause. War opponents and media cynics accuse him of obfuscating the reality of the prolonged conflict. But what do the families of the dead soldiers themselves think? As usual, reason lies outside the Beltway. There, you can also find grace in the face of tremendous sorrow. Take Denise Marshall of Georgia, for example. Her husband, John, is the oldest soldier to die in Iraq so far....
Yummy, Cluster Bombs! Despite persistent criticism of the nature of the food aid being delivered to Afghanistan, the menu, which includes Pop-Tarts and peanut butter, won’t be changed. But a change will be made to the color of the food parcels. Humanitarian groups say the bright yellow packages are too easily confused with cluster bombs of the same color. Taking Their Time Last month an Arab living in the Philippines who was friendly with the bin Laden family tried to contact the U....
While many know that she was responsible for the burning of Teldrassil in Battle for Azeroth and the destruction of the veil between life and death in Shadowlands, not all fans know where her story began. The trials that she went through alongside Arthas Menethil 20 years ago shaped who she was, and since then the World of Warcraft fanbase has grown. She was not always the queen of the Forsaken or warchief of the Horde, she was once a simple Ranger-General of Silvermoon city, and a citizen of the high elves....
Nottingham Forest winger Ward put the hosts ahead two minutes into Sunday’s contest at Windsor Park, before Washington’s first competitive international goal all but wrapped up the victory 33 minutes in. Norway threatened little as second-placed Northern Ireland moved on to 10 points in World Cup Qualifying Group C, and O’Neill was quick to express his delight at another comprehensive display from his side. “I’m delighted. It was a fantastic performance from all 14 players who played tonight and I couldn’t have asked for any more,” he told Sky Sports....
The three-stringed instrument in question is called a Shawzin, and it was added in to the PC version of Warframe as part of the most recent update this past weekend. While Shawzins have appeared in the game before, as background decorations, it is now possible for players to buy one and pull it out whenever via an emote command. It’s worth noting because the Shawzin is basically a full-on musical tool players can pull out anytime throughout their space adventures....

But despite the species’ limited intelligence in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, it takes quite a bit of skill to play as Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’s Ogryn Skullbreaker. Players have to manage the Ogryn’s large hitbox as well as make use of their unique crowd-controlling abilities.

It’s been a long eight years since Dawn of War 2, and fans of the series will no doubt have been a little anxious that the third game in the franchise may not live up to the expectations set of it. Thankfully, Relic Entertainment has continued its well-earned reputation for creating quality strategy games, with Dawn of War 3 fulfilling its promise with gusto. A lot of the success found in Dawn of War 3 comes down to the level of detail that the title provides, and it’s clear that the game has been very carefully constructed from top to bottom....
Of course, the recent merger between Warner Bros. and Discovery hasn’t helped matters, with new CEO David Zaslav looking to completely shake up the structure and programming of not only the studio’s television programming but also the direction and focus of the whole DCEU. There is a 10-year plan in place to transform the floundering franchise but is the emulation of Marvel’s MCU strategy really what the DCEU needs?...
The five-time All-Star guard could reportedly be out for 10 months after doing serious damage in a 114-110 defeat that sealed a first NBA title for the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. Thompson was seeking a max contract this summer in free agency, but Warriors owner Lacob remains intent on keeping the 29-year-old. “I don’t know yet what we’re going to do,” Lacob told Yahoo Sports. “I’ve said for a long time I want Klay to be a Warrior for life, and so this doesn’t change anything as far as I’m concerned....
Golden State boasts some of the world’s best shooters and each has his own way of bouncing back from a poor performance. For Curry, there is no actual list or book for “The Menu.” The two-time MVP and his right-hand shooting man, Bruce Fraser, keep all the details in their heads for what the record-breaking 3-point sharpshooter could use work on any given day. It comes in especially handy when the shots aren’t falling, though Curry certainly found his touch fast in returning from nearly six weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury to score 28 points in a Game 2 win against New Orleans on Tuesday night....
Curry was asked Saturday after the Warriors routed the Thunder if he thought the league would “enjoy” such a showdown between the seventh-seeded Lakers (37-30) and eighth-seeded Warriors (35-33). He didn’t feel the need to respond verbally; instead, he pantomimed his answer, complete with head nods for effect.

Iguodala missed Game 2 with a right knee injury and on Tuesday, the Warriors listed him as questionable to play in Game 3. W Willams on the other hand, has been dealing with a sore knee all postseason but has been able to play through the injury. He even played in Game 2 but didn’t look that mobile at times.

Russell Westbrook was simply unstoppable, posting a line of 34 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists on 13-of-27 shooting.
