...health concern. As urban sprawl sends development - and money - farther from downtown, municipalities are looking to combat inner-city decay by keeping the streets flush with pedestrians. In Portland, that means implementing pilot projects such as an artist-designed public restroom in Old Town Chinatown. Many people still regard such municipal facilities as germ-ridden no-go zones or the grotty province of drug dealers and criminals. Regaining confidence in public restrooms would remove one obstacle to renewing the vibrancy of urban centers...

His biography is accepted as fact by pious Jews and Christians, as are the book's details regarding the sack of Jerusalem, in which Nebo-Sarsekim reportedly participated, and the subsequent Jewish exile "by the rivers of Babylon," commemorated by the Book of Psalms and Bob Marley.

In May a Buddhist fruit picker became the 29th victim to be decapitated; his head was left outside a Yala school to scare teachers and children. At another Yala village, insurgents shot dead and set alight a Buddhist health official, then detonated a 10-kg bomb buried beneath the road. The blast injured 12 people, including...
