...atmosphere - there are regular art exhibitions as well as weekly jam sessions with local musicians - softens the overall experience, while a city-center location will prove irresistible to guests planning a breakout. Things are even grittier at Latvia's Karosta Prison, karostascietums.lv - a former jail near the Baltic Sea resort of Liepaya. Originally built as a military hospital in 1900, it began housing prisoners during the early days of the Russian Revolution and continued to do so throughout the Nazi occupation, during the Soviet era and right up until 1997, when Latvian authorities released the last detainees.

Thieves are snatching metals in daylight on job sites. "We put it in on Monday and had to replace it by Wednesday," said Matthew Graves, production manager for Mainline Heating & Air Conditioning in Birmingham...
...TEPJ could accept Obrador's challenge to the process and order a recount. Obrador has said his alliance will accept any outcome as long as the process is transparent. But if the recount makes Obrador the winner, there is a danger that PAN would resort to "civil disobedience," as it has done in the past, like closing federal highways or organizing sit-ins in public offices, and make it difficult for Obrador to govern. The center-left candidate won't find it any easier to win a congressional majority for his policies than would Calder...
