...English. "Where you from?" he asks. Eventually, one softly responds. "Afghanistan," he says, and the others repeat the word. None have identity documents. It's past 1 a.m., and the coast-guard captain estimates the raft left the Turkish coast four hours earlier. The men have rowed more than halfway across the strait, a few hundred yards into Greek territorial waters. They've made it into Europe alive. Five minutes later, the radar picks up another dinghy nearby with five more young men, and the drill is repeated. As the captain turns the Lambro toward shore...
...into the third frame, Brown managed to convert on the power play, slamming the puck through traffic and past the right post to tie the game at three.

The government rightly applauds "Overseas Filipino Workers," or OFWs as they are commonly called in the country, as heroes for the sacrifices they make for their families. But while children whose mothers are nurses in Canada or housekeepers...
...There is something horribly efficient about you,” Camille (Olga Kurylenko) says to a certain British spy halfway through “Quantum of Solace,” the lean new action flick masquerading as a James Bond movie. Lead writer Paul Haggis has continued to take a chainsaw to the 007 formula, and here, as in “Casino Royale,” paring away the franchise’s unnecessary affectations—cars with rocket launchers, Moneypenny, martinis done a very certain way—has paid off. Screaming through its 106-minute runtime...
