Mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

July 30, 2008 – 6:53 am
??Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China -- to children all over the world. ??Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame. ??Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. ??When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm ...

Hamas warns Abbas not to make changes

July 30, 2008 – 6:02 am
Hamas warned Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday not to make changes in the government without consulting it — the first clear sign the Islamic militant group plans to play hardball as both sides begin to jockey for positions in the new leadership. Exiled political leader Khaled Mashaal reiterated that Hamas would not bow to Arab and international pressure to recognize Israel and that the group — once in power — would not act to prevent militant attacks on the Jewish state. Mashaal took the tough stance after three days of talks between Hamas leaders and Egyptian officials — the group's first diplomatic foray seeking Arab support since it scored a surprise victory in Palestinian elections on Jan. 25. Hoping to avert a collapse of the peace process, Egyptian officials had said ahead of the talks that they would urge Hamas to recognize Israel and build a coalition government with Abbas' more moderate ...

Braves deal Teixeira to Angels for Kotchman, minor leaguer

July 30, 2008 – 5:56 am
In July 2007, the Angels were the runner-up in the bidding for Mark Teixeira. This year, they finally got their man.  On Tuesday, the Angels made the kind of deadline blockbuster they're often accused of never making when they traded first baseman Casey Kotchman and pitching prospect Stephen Marek to Atlanta for the right to run Teixeira out there as their first baseman for the next two months.  "Hopefully I can just go over there and be one more piece of the puzzle," Teixeira said before the Braves hosted St. Louis.  Initially, according to a source, the Braves asked for Kotchman, top pitching prospect Nick Adenhart and a third player in exchange for Teixeira. But the Angels told Atlanta that although they might be willing to talk about, essentially, a Kotchman-for-Teixeira swap even up, they were not willing to open a hole in their club for either 2008 or 2009. The clubs then ...
