(Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press via AP)PHOENIX — Devin Booker is able to walk, albeit slowly.That’s a major step toward recovery from a left adductor strain the Phoenix Suns star guard suffered in the fourth quarter Tuesday night in Toronto.

He admitted being out for an extended period of time will be difficult, and pledged not to try to come back too soon and tell trainers the truth about how he feels.The injury is new territory for Booker, the face of the Suns in his third season. He has played through pain before, but said he’d never felt such pain before.“It’s never ideal for me to miss games,” Booker said, “but at the same time we have to be cautious with it and take our time.”The Suns were short-handed with Booker out and center Tyson Chandler away from the team for personal reasons. Forward Derrick Jones Jr. was waived Thursday.ADVERTISEMENT

The overcrowding of Sanniquellie Central Prison is worrying judicial actors in Nimba County as the inmates now number close to 200.Speaking at the opening of the February Term of Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit Court in Sanniquellie yesterday, County Attorney Hector Queingoa called on judicial actors to find the means to decongest the prison.The prisoners numbered 168 last year, he said, but with their number almost at 200, the situation is “very worrisome.”“The prison was built for 75 inmates, but the number has gone beyond the capacity and we need to find means to decongest it,” he said.The prosecutor called on magistrates to settle minor offense cases, instead of “sending offenders to jail for bond fees.” He, however, warned them not to compromise on cases.He said in cases of minor offenses, the magistrates should look for permanent citizens to serve as guarantors for the perpetrators, instead of detaining them.“We need to help to decongest the prison, because the cost of feeding the inmates and meeting their welfare is too much,” he said.The County Attorney explained that Correction Officers are facing difficulties meeting the needs of the inmates, especially feeding them regularly.“To feed the inmates the Prison Superintendent goes the extra mile and credit from vendors, while they wait for supplies to come,” he said. Earlier in his opening statement, Circuit Court Judge Arthur Gaye urged lawyers or the County Bar to speed up with the assignment of their cases, as the court’s docket is crowded.He said there are about 62 criminal cases and 71 civil cases in this term of court, “which is too much.” He said cases need speedy trials, which can be done when lawyers pursue their cases.The Eighth Judicial Circuit Court opened in the absence of presiding Judge Emery Paye, owing to illness, but a clerk presided over the opening.In his statement, Public Defender Robertson P. Mehn blamed the overcrowding on what he called “keeping prisoners in the cell for too long.”He said those detained from the September 30, 2015 saga in Ganta are yet to be tried and they are kept in cells for political reasons, which he said should not be so because there is no politics in the judiciary.Rep. Worlea Dunah, who chairs the House Committee on Judiciary, and is also a member of the Nimba Bar Association, was among those in attendance at the opening.He later visited the Sanniquellie Central Prison to acquaint himself with conditions there and to meet with the relevant authorities to seek redress for their concerns.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
(L To R) Hon.

And, this is the first time that Liberia fish and fish product will be exported to the EU market under this program and it’s also a gateway for other Liberian products to hit the EU market.In another development, Liberia through NaFAA for the first time, has Flagged Two Tuna Purse seiners of Sovereign Trade Services a Liberian registered company (industrial pelagic fishing vessels) on its domestic vessel registry and attracted investment to start operating by January 2020.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko 1 Roma legend Francesco Totti has urged the Italian side to sign Manchester City star Edin Dzeko.As talkSPORT told you this week, Roma are closing in on a swoop for the Bosnian forward but the deal has hit a snag over the 29-year-old’s 20m price tag.Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini has been in England for talks with Dzeko’s representatives, while Giallorossi captain Totti has added further weight to the move and revealed his desire to play alongside the former Wolfsburg man.Speaking from Melbourne ahead of Roma’s pre-season friendly against Real Madrid, the 38-year-old said: “I hope he’s among the new signings because he’s a top player, formidable at scoring goals. He’d help us do better.”Dzeko is keen to leave the Etihad in search of regular first-team football despite having three years left to run on his current deal.
Come mid-December, millions of high-school and college students – and young working folk as well – will fret about how to stretch their holiday gift budget over the growing list of good friends. The worst thing about that hard-to-ignore tendency, besides the fact that it’s often counterproductive and energy-sapping, is that it assumes money is always the factor. It doesn’t have to be. For those who are willing to wax creative and think about “giveable” personal resources, low- and even no-cost gift ideas abound. Following are a few ideas to get started: AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREPettersson scores another winner, Canucks beat KingsMemory-inspired gifts. Some of the best gifts are those that remind the recipient of a happy time or special moment, and how better to do that than with a photo or photo album – actual or virtual. Have a cherished image reproduced in 5-by-7 inch format, on high-quality paper and then frame it. Alternatively, create a small album of images from a fun road trip, or an artfully designed online photo slide show, with clever captions. On another note, how about a “personal-mix” CD of a half-dozen songs the friend has said, “Hey, I like that tune” to in recent months. Make & bake options. Devote an afternoon to making homemade gifts of food or simple crafts. Homemade sauces or chutneys, for example, or the time-honored plate of house-made brownies or cookies, or homemade bread, topped with a pretty hand-made card, make wonderful gifts. Jars of homemade jam or chutney, for example, make very festive gifts when creatively packaged – and can be enjoyed, memorably, months later when the holiday spirit has long passed, especially if the label contains a bit of detail about the item and the giver. Give freebies or coupons. Many of us have items hanging around that are perfect for giving and possibly going unused. Frequent flier miles are an obvious one, but gift cards or credits at stores or coffee shops, for example, also can be humorously “re-gifted” (just make that point about the gift being “recycled with affection” – it’ll be well received for sure. Get it used, give it renewed. The thrift store culture that emerged in the 1970s is back with a bang, and it’s giving rise to a clever way to give gifts that are not only recycled in the literal sense, but also inexpensive – and possibly humorously memorable. Check out the jewelry and accessories counters in the local Goodwill, for example, for an odd vintage costume-jewelry item (a $4 faux-diamond cat pin or gaudy cocktail ring, or a ghastly circa-1975 tie, to be worn just for fun) are easily found at thrift stores or garage sales, for example. The same venues might also yield useful gifts, such as the $8 bookshelf, computer desk or coffee table, for a similarly strapped friend with “under-furnished” digs. Give time. A generous gift of time or service is always well received and remembered fondly, especially when it’s creatively crafted. For example, consider being chauffeur for the night to a friend or couple (arrange baby-sitting in advance, if necessary), and show up festively attired with the vehicle decked out in holiday finery. Alternatively, create a festive errand list with the friend’s name on top, and a half-dozen three line slots for the entries. Then show up for duty in a humorous “uniform.” If too young to drive or “carless,” a young donor could offer “sitting time.” This could be for a child, a bedridden relative or friend, which would give the regular caretaker some free time away. Bring along something fun for individuals being cared for – a video, a simple holiday craft to do, or even already baked cookies to decorate. To stretch the gift of time over several months, offer to bring over a festive home-cooked meal on a fixed schedule – say, every third Sunday between January and April. It’s also a good way to ensure a social hour with a friend. Volunteer in the friend’s name. This stretches the gift over potentially dozens of people, when the volunteer signs up not with a specific organization but as a representative of the friend.

Greg Weiss has been the first name in eight-man football at Faith Baptist of Canoga Park for nearly two decades. Until now. Weiss resigned after guiding one of the more successful programs in Southern California for 16 years, winning four Southern Section Large Division titles and appearing eight times in the championship game along the way. Senior Jared Dennis (6-2, 190) is one of the few returners and will move to quarterback after playing tight end and linebacker last season. Fellow upperclassman John Grayem is back too, and there are not many who look forward to lining up against the 6-4, 290 offensive and defensive lineman. First Lutheran of Sylmar has had little trouble since it joined the Omega League, winning the title each of the past three years after moving from the Heritage League. The postseason, however, is a different story. The Falcons have lost in the first round of the Large Division playoffs three consecutive years. It won’t happen a fourth time though. First Lutheran moves to the Small Division this year. Quarterback Eddie Felix, a 5-10 155-pound transfer from Sylmar, played well last weekend in a scrimmage against defending champion Lighthouse Christian Academy of Santa Monica. Hillcrest Christian of Granada Hills wasted little time in establishing itself in its first season of organized football. The Eagles (5-4) were competitive in the Heritage League, defeating postseason qualifiers First Lutheran and Laton. Hillcrest returns 18 players, including the senior running back tandem of Michael Abourched and Michael Sloat, who has consistently turned in sub-4.5 times in the 40-yard dash. Bethel Christian of Lancaster is experienced – it has 15 players back, including four at the key skill positions – and appears poised to make a run in Desert Sands League play and the Small Division playoffs. Quarterback Josh Thies (5-8, 155) threw for more than 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns last season and will direct the Eagles’ offense again. His primary targets figure to be tight end Mark Bradley (6-3, 180) and running backs Gabe Cusiu (5-8 170) and Brandon Caldwell (185, 5-10). Playing in the Heritage League is always tough, particularly for L.A. Lutheran of Sylmar, which has struggled recently. But quarterback Adam Rey has been impressive in practice and will be playing behind an experienced offensive line. Quarterback James Sykes (5-11, 185) and receiver Andrew Wheeler (6-2, 170) are as talented as any combination in Omega League play, giving Westmark of Encino a chance to improve its third-place finish from a season ago. — Sean Ceglinsky, (818) 713-3607 sean.ceglinsky@dailynews.com 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

It was time for me to move on,” Weiss said. “I loved being at Faith Baptist and would never say a discouraging word. I wish them all the best.” Weiss leaves an impressive team for new coach Tom Greer. The long-time assistant inherits a team returning 11 players from last season’s undefeated (13-0) team that was named the nation’s best by MaxPreps.com. Jonathan Rasmussen, a 6-foot-2 165-pound quarterback, threw for 31 touchdowns and just one interception. He will benefit from playing behind a formidable offensive line, featuring Alex Vault (6-2, 300), Phillip Sturm (6-5, 245), Nathan Frias (6-2, 220) and Dillon Weerasinghe (6-2, 205). “We always tell the kids not to make plans for December,” Greer said. “That’s when the playoffs are. We don’t plan on skipping a beat. We’ll be disappointed if we don’t make it to the title game. We want to keep the tradition alive.” Santa Clarita Christian of Canyon Country advanced to the Large Division quarterfinals last season and the championship game in 2003, but might find it difficult to match the success this time around considering it lost eight starters, among them Stephen Mercier and Orlando Pena, arguably the top two players in the program’s history. 
“Faith Baptist was blessed to have had the best coach in eight-man football,” athletic director John Rasmussen said. “He’ll be missed.” Weiss is the defensive line coach at Windward of Los Angeles.

Donegal’s farming community face stiff new taxes and possibly heavy fines for farm machinery.Tractors are all liable for taxA new law comes into effect on October 1st next requiring all farm machinery to be taxed depending how long it is on the road.The county’s farmers are now being advised that all farm vehicles must be registered or else they face prosecution and risk having their machines impounded. The Tirconail Tribune reports the new road tax regulation will have implications for tens of thousands of farmers across the country.County Donegal has a farm spread of almost 635,000 acres and according to CSO officials the base number of tractors and other farm machines registered in Donegal is much too small to calculate among a population of 9,240 active farms.From October 1st all mechanically propelled farm machinery including quad bikes, vintage tractors, combine harvesters and forage machines must be either taxed for road usage or else recorded and registered as ‘off the road’.This will need a form known as an RF100 that must be filled in and stamped at a Garda station to declare how long it will remain of the road. They will also have to provide a logbook and vehicle registration details. Anyone caught with an untaxed machine will face an on the spot fine of €60 and will no longer be able to declare a retrospective off the road status.Tax arrears will also be sought where a machine has not previously been taxed and this can date back to the date of purchase, which in many instances could be more than twenty years ago.Only 63,080 tractors were taxed last year but as many as 100,000 of these running around the roads and farmyards of Ireland at the moment.A CSO official conceded that the numbers of farm machines that are taxed in Donegal is much too low for calculation or estimation.In many instances and especially in border counties like Donegal, it is believed by the tax authorities that many tractors have been ‘imported’ without any notification to the licensing authorities in the Republic. It is believed that many second hand tractors in Donegal have been brought over from England or Northern Ireland and few have been registered. This poses a huge headache for farmers since these machines must now get a vehicle registration certificate. This is necessary in order to have the machine declared for tax or off the road.TAXING TIME ARRIVES FOR DONEGAL TRACTOR DRIVERS was last modified: September 12th, 2013 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:farm machinerytaxationtractors
