(AP) BAGHDAD – Bombs struck two Sunni towns at sundown Sunday just as Iraqis were preparing to break their holy day’s fast, killing 18 and wounding more than 50, officials said. Two earlier bomb blasts killed a policeman and wounded dozens of people. The multiple bomb attacks showed that deadly violence is still common and in some places even worsening in Iraq, seven months after the U.S. pulled its last troops out of the country. Most of the attacks bear the hallmarks of Sunni Muslim insurgents linked to al Qaeda, targeting Shiites and their holy sites as well as security forces working for the Shiite-led government. The two latest bombings, however, struck predominantly Sunni towns. So far, Shiite militants have resisted striking back at Sunnis. It was not immediately clear if the Sunday bombings were retaliation for earlier attacks, but residents in the stricken areas raised fears of renewed sectarian conflict. The first sundown attack, in the town of Mahmoudiya, was the deadliest — a double bombing in which the second seemed aimed at hitting people who came to help victims of the first blast. A car exploded around 7 p.m. in a parking lot for minibuses in the town, about 20 miles (30 kilometers) south of Baghdad. As emergency responders sprang into action, a second car blew up, according to police at the scene. Twelve people were killed...

(CBS) Elin Nordegren has a man in her life – one who doesn’t play golf. The Swedish former model has been dating American investor Jamie Dingman for months, the New York Post’s Page Six reports. Pictures: Elin Nordegren The son of billionaire Michael Dingman, Jamie is an emerging-markets investor who has worked in China and 온라인카지노 Russia, according to the Post. He also owned an Indy car racing team sponsored by the World Childhood Foundation, a charity founded by Sweden’s Queen Silvia. Friends told the paper that he and Nordegren met at the Red Cross Ball in Florida last January attended by Princess Madeleine of Sweden. “He’s never been so happy. He and Elin have strong feelings for each other,” a friend said, according to The Post. “He’s a classic all-American guy. He’s handsome, a total gentleman and low-key. He’s never been in the press. Elin’s a very lucky girl; he’s a great guy but very private.” And, the source tells the Post, “He doesn’t play golf.” Nordegren and Woods divorced last year, following his cheating scandal.

(CBS) Giant Squid is one of those bands that defies categorization. There are low-tuned guitars and slow tempos that place them in sludge metal. The band’s tracks are long and many of them have movements that could place them in progressive rock. Lead singer and 서천출장샵 guitarist Aaron Gregory sings in a guttural growl or a wailing scream. Then vocalist and cellist Jackie Perez Gratz will sing a sweet harmony or countermelody and bring the band and the listener back from the brink. (Click through to listen to Giant Squid’s “La Brea Tar Pits.”) So here’s a new category for Giant Squid: Awesome. As in inspiring awe. It’s rare to hear a group of musicians go between styles, emotions and moods so honestly and organically while still rocking your face off. The live shows will leave you spent. This band, rounded out by Bryan Beeson on bass and Scott Sutton on drums, has evolved from a bombastic, dirge-like doom metal band to a progressive, classical-minded rock outfit to a nimble, melodic, riff-heavy powerhouse over its career (and sometimes within the same song). The band’s 2009 epic and beautiful full-length “The Ichthyologist” will get a 2011 follow-up, the five-track, 35-minute EP “Cenotes,” coming Oct. 25 on Translation Loss Records (with a vinyl release coming in 2012). The band says its new material embraces a “Middle Eastern aesthetic” and is “the...
