f as alleged by Clifford I
was seeking to protect Speaker Madigan, why would I take his allegations
immediately over to the OEIG (Office of Executive Inspector General) if
I thought there was pressure from Speaker Madigan? It just doesn't make
sense."Clifford did not get the necessary votes to renew his contract earlier
this year, but he left Metra with a $700,000 severance deal that
some have characterized as "hush money" to keep Clifford quiet after threatening
a lawsuit.Clifford denies that claim and says the money was "100 percent
about my ability to get a job and how I've been damaged."Metra
announced on Friday that it plans to hire a well-known former federal
prosecutor in Chicago to perform an independent investigation into Clifford's
allegations and make recommendations concerning Metra's hiring and contract
policies.Metra's board of directors must approve the hiring at a special
meeting on Monday.The man who oversees Illinois' government watchdog group
says even though there was no illegal activity involved with the Metra
scandal, the case has lawmakers squirming a bit more than usual."This is
a very big deal, this is the first time in anyone's memory
that Speaker Madigan has been implicated so directly in the workings of
a public agency," Better Government Association President Andy Shaw said.
"Madigan and hundreds if not thousands (of politicians) do this every day.
We just don't hear about it very often, because it happens b
t chance slip."It's a shame. But the game
is there. I'm going to look forward to keeping it sharp next
week and going to the World Golf Championship and another major in
the next couple of weeks. I like where I'm at."Mickelson started the
final round five strokes adrift of overnight leader Westwood, but held steady
going out and then stormed down the back nine in a superb
32 at a time when all of his rivals were stumbling in
the tough conditions.It was the third straight Open won by a golfer
in their 40s with Ernie Els and Darren Clarke both 42 when
they won at Royal Lytham and Royal St George's, respectivelyMickelson also
became the first player in history to win the Scottish Open and
then go on to win the British Open the following week.Tiger Woods
started the day tied for second, just two off the lead, but
he failed to find any spark and his record of never having
won a major when trailing after 54 holes held firm as he
came in at two over 286 after a 74.Throughout the day it
was a bruising battle of wiles and wills among the the world's
best golfers with no quarter given and the mighty Muirfield links showing
no mercy to the faint-hearted.The lead changed hands at regular intervals,
but in the end it was the experience and the expertise of
the popular Mickelson that carried the day to secure the Claret Jug
that goes to the winner of the British Open.England's Ryder Cup hero
Ian Poulter set the early clubhouse target of one over

(AFP) Algeria's public prosecutor on Sunday demanded the death penalty
for two men on trial for abducting and murdering two boys aged
nine and 10, the news agency APS reported.The prosecutor said a third
man accused of not alerting the police about the kidnapping that occurred
in March should be handed a life sentence, the national news agency
said.The boys were strangled to death and their bodies found on Tuesday
inside plastic shopping bags not far from their home in the city
of Constantine, east of Algiers.Their brutal death triggered a national
outcry.Two men were arrested hours after the bodies were found and admitted
their responsibility, officials have said.The abduction of children in Algeria
has been on the rise, according to official estimates which indicated that
31 children were kidnapped in the past year compared to four in
2008.
the tanker's three escorts, the USS Joyce,
saw it on sonar and severely damaged it by dropping depth charges.The
Germans, forced to surface, manned their deck guns while another escort
vessel, the USS Gandy, returned fire and rammed the U-boat. The third
escort, the USS Peterson, then hit the U-boat with two more depth
charges. The crew abandoned the submarine, but not before setting off explosions
to scuttle it. The submarine hadn't been seen again until Monday.The U-550
is one of several World War II-era German U-boats that have been
discovered off the U.S. coast, but it's the only one that went
down in that area, Mazraani said. He said it's been tough to
find largely because military positioning of the battle was imprecise, and
searchers had only a general idea where the submarine was when it
sank. Kozak noted that the site is far offshore and has only
limited windows of good weather.The team towed a side-scan sonar vessel
in a mow-the-lawn pattern over the search area and found the U-500
after covering 100 square miles of ocean, between the trip this year
and last year, Kozak said.Just the nose of U-boat was visible on
sonar on the first pass, but the team was delirious after the
second pass. when the sonar image made it obvious they'd found it,
Mazraani said. Quick dives to the wreck to beat bad weather confirmed
the find with pictures.The other team members were Steve Gatto, Tom Packer,
Brad Sheard, Eric Takakjian and Anthony Te
