The Twiga Stars, who were brought to Washington State for a training tour by Rahma Al-Kharoosi, president of RBP Oil and Industrial Technologies, got the chance to learn about state legislative procedure, sing a Tanzanian song for their hosts, and to speak to the Governor herself.She wished them the best of luck and told the Tanzania ladies that she has a special interest in women's football as both of her daughters are footballers. Ms. Al-Kharoosi thanked the Governor for taking the time to speak to them, and added that it was inspiring for the girls to meet such an accomplished woman who has shown "yes we can."

The Twiga players each took a rub and wished to make it to the Women's World Cup (to be held in Germany in summer 2011).The Twiga Stars have been training in Washington since August 2, and are preparing for the African Women's Championship to be held in South Africa this October.The top two teams from the African Championship will proceed to the Women's World Cup in Germany.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER Thousands of demonstrators upset with the war in Afghanistan, climate change and the erosion of union rights have raised the intensity of a march in downtown Chicago on Sunday as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit. The protest, one of the city's largest in years, turned violent at the end of an anti-NATO march, where demonstrators confronted Chicago police, pushing against a line of officers several blocks from the lakefront convention center where President Obama hosted a gathering of world leaders. Authorities were seen making arrests one by one and leading individual demonstrators away in handcuffs. After a clash near McCormick Place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference that the protests resulted in 45 people being arrested and four officers suffering injuries - one from a stab wound in the leg.
