At least 64 die in India temple stampede; more than 100 injured


BHOPAL, India (Reuters) - At least 64 people were killed and more than 100 injured in a stampede after a bridge collapsed near a remote Hindu temple in India's central state of Madhya Pradesh, a senior police official told Reuters on Sunday.


A large number of devotees gathered to celebrate the holy festival of Dussehra at the Ratangarh temple, in a forest outside the town of Datia, 390 km (240 miles) north of the state capital, Bhopal. But a bridge leading to the temple collapsed, triggering the stampede.


"At the moment we can confirm the death toll at 64," Dilip Arya, a deputy inspector general of police, told Reuters. "More than 100 people are injured and being treated in nearby hospitals."


As the bridge collapsed, people began rushing towards the temple and got killed in the stampede, Arya said, adding that a few devotees drowned as they jumped into the Sindh river.


Some local media said the police used batons to control the crowd, prompting many people to panic. Inept handling has led to stampedes on previous occasions.


In February this year, a stampede killed at least 36 Hindu pilgrims, who were part of the world's largest religious festival which attracted some 30 million people.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After two days of waiting, the Los Angeles Dodgers found out they will play St. Louis in the National League championship series.

The Dodgers worked out Wednesday just as the decisive Game 5 between Pittsburgh and St. Louis began. The team went through hitting sets with the game shown on the stadium's video boards, although there was no noticeable reaction as it progressed.

With the Cardinals winning 6-1, the Dodgers boarded buses to the airport for a flight to St. Louis.

"They're not going down easy," manager Don Mattingly said before the Cardinals won. "We felt like they were the best team in that division. They're a good mix of everything."

If the Pirates had won, the Dodgers would have unpacked their suitcases to stay home for the start of the series Friday.

Beating the Atlanta Braves to wrap up their division series in four games Monday night gave the Dodgers extra rest and time to reset their rotation. They took Tuesday off.

Zack Greinke will start Game 1 of the NLCS. Clayton Kershaw, who pitched on three days' rest Monday for the first time in his career, was set to go on regular rest in Game 2.

The team hopes the layoff will benefit rookie pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu, who struggled in Game 3 against Atlanta, giving up four runs and six hits over three innings.

"I felt he was a little nervous the other day," Mattingly said. "He did some things that he doesn't usually do."

Ryu has said he isn't injured, but the left-hander's performance wasn't as solid as what he showed during the regular season.

"He claims he felt fine and he continues to say he had no type of injury," general manager Ned Colletti said. "Everybody can have a bad start from time to time."

The Dodgers will announce a new 25-man roster for the NLCS. Mattingly said spots were still being discussed.

Andre Ethier was limited to pinch-hitting duty against the Braves, but if his left ankle has healed sufficiently, he could play the outfield. He did some hitting during the workout.

"I still have to sleep tonight to see if it responds tomorrow," Ethier said. "It feels good."

Hanley Ramirez got some rest for a bad back that has slowed him at shortstop, but not at the plate.

Mattingly goes into the next round not knowing if he will be managing the Dodgers next season. The club's new owners, including Mark Walter, Stan Kasten and Magic Johnson, didn't guarantee his option for 2014 last offseason.

"I don't want to speak about my contract," he said. "It's not the right time."

Colletti said he wasn't worried about Mattingly's status, adding, "That will all resolve itself."

Unknown attackers kill 6 in northern Iraq

BAGHDAD (AP) ? Iraqi authorities say unknown attackers have killed six people in northern Iraq, including a local government official.

Police officials say the first attack occurred early Sunday, when gunmen killed two soldiers in an assault on their security checkpoint in the restive city of Mosul, 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad.

Hours later, a roadside bomb killed a municipal council member and his son in a town near Mosul.

Also, gunmen in another area just south of Mosul sprayed a security checkpoint with bullets, killing two policemen.

Hospital officials confirmed the death toll. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to media.

Violence has spiked in Iraq since the start of the holy month of Ramadan.

A2J Clinic Integration into Traditional Clinics | CALI - Your partner in ...

Yesterday, the CALI Spotlight Blog featured three participants from the Access to Justice Clinical Course Project that will be integrating A2J Author into their courses a part of a hybrid clinical experience. Three other participants in the A2J Clinic Project will integrate the use of this software into more traditional clinical courses.
?The A2J Author provides a different lens or perspective from which to view the interviewing process,? explains Professor Joe Rosenberg, director of the Elder Law Clinic at CUNY?s Main Street Legal Services. ?It will be instructive to compare and contrast the approaches we use for client interviews with the A2J Author and consider client needs in both contexts.?
Rosenberg?s Elder Law Clinic focuses primarily on guardianship issues and, over the last few years, students in Rosenberg?s clinic have developed a packet of information to provide some assistance those who cannot gain full representation from the clinic. Next year, as part of the A2J Clinic Project, students in the clinic will work to update this information and develop A2J Guided Interviews to provide further assistance to these self-represented litigants. Rosenberg plans to connect this development work with the interviewing, counseling, ethical and substantive legal work that students undertake.
In the Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic at Columbia Law, taught by Conrad Johnson, Brian Donnelly, and Mary Marsh Zulack, students are divided into working groups and assigned to help a certain legal aid agency or court address a specific legal problem. Throughout the semester, the students develop a thorough understanding of the legal issue involved through in person meetings with a subject matter expert. Then they research the legal systems available before developing a solution that can be implemented by the requesting legal aid. In the past, students in this clinic have developed A2J Guided Interviews for use by the housing courts as well as a web-site explaining how a person reclaims property seized by the police.
Students in the Health Rights Clinic at the University of Miami, a Medical-Legal Partnership, work directly with patients at Miami-area hospitals to address the legal needs that arise as a result of their health care. JoNel Newman and Melissa Swain teach their students about substantive law in areas such as public benefits, advanced directives, and immigration. For many of these issues, they have already developed flowcharts and written manuals to help students assist their clients. After automating these processes, students in the clinic will be able to take on more clients. Finally, because of the diverse population of students and clients in the Miami area, all of their forms are developed in English, Spanish, and Haitian/Creole.

NCDOT Awards $1.7 million to replace Rocky Ford Road Bridge

A $1.7 million contract has been awarded to Country Boy Landscaping Inc. of Harmony by the N.C. Department of Transportation to replace the Rocky Ford Road bridge over the South Fork of the Catawba River near Newton.

Work can begin as early as April 29, and be completed by December 12, 2014, officials say.

"This bridge replacement reinforces Governor McCrory?s vision to build and maintain a transportation system that is second to none," said NCDOT Division 12 Engineer Mike Holder.

An off-site detour will be set up for the project. Eastbound traffic will take Rocky Ford Road to Hickory-Lincolnton Road to N.C. 10 to Startown Road. Westbound traffic will reverse directions.

The bridge was built in 1956 and is deemed both functionally obsolete and structurally deficient. This does not mean the bridge is unsafe, but there are elements of the bridge that need to be monitored to maintain its structural integrity, and its layout no longer meets current design standards for width, shoulders or railings.

Officials say the new bridge will be able to accommodate larger vehicles.

Wesley Snipes leaves Pa. prison after tax sentence

LEWIS RUN, Pa. (AP) ? Wesley Snipes has been released from a federal prison in Pennsylvania.

Snipes was convicted in 2008 on tax charges. He was released Tuesday and placed under home confinement. A Bureau of Corrections spokeswoman said Friday he'll be overseen by the New York Community Corrections Office until July 19.

Snipes has appeared in dozens of films, from "White Men Can't Jump" and "Demolition Man" in the early 1990s to the "Blade" trilogy. He entered the McKean prison in December 2010 to begin a three-year sentence for failure to file income tax returns.

Snipes belonged to a group that challenged the government's right to collect taxes. Prosecutors say he failed to file returns for at least a decade and owed millions of dollars in back taxes.

Snipes had appealed in an Atlanta court, saying he didn't get a fair trial.
