Obama signs bill to designate 'Mount Stevens' after late Alaska senator

2010-10-19 04:58:30 GMT+7 (ICT)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) -- President Barack Obama on Monday signed a bill to designate an icefield and the highest unnamed peak in the State of Alaska as the "Ted Stevens Icefield" and "Mount Stevens", respectively, after the late Senator Ted Stevens.

The White House said Obama signed into law the the "Mount Stevens and Ted Stevens Icefield Designation Act" for the veteran senator, who was killed in a small plane crash on August 10.

Sen. Stevens was among five people killed when a 1957-build DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter aircraft went down about 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Dillingham, crashing into a mountain.

The legislation was introduced by Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again.

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat. The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school - England World Cup

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education.
