NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
CARACAS, VENEZUELA
A Venezuelan court on Monday lifted an order that had barred a weekly newspaper from being published, a lawyer for the paper said. A judge had ordered the newspaper to temporarily stop publishing on Aug. 20 when the issue ran a front-page photomontage ridiculing six high-ranking women officials, depicting them as cabaret dancers. Lawyer Pedro Aranguren said the court lifted the order but also ordered the newspaper not to publish text or images that are insulting toward public officials or women.
Aranguren said he believes the newspaper has not broken the law and that "every person who serves as a public authority should be subject to the criticism and scrutiny of the media."
DAKAR. SENEGAL
A group of Americans, including several U.S. Embassy employees, were forced to spend the night on a deserted island off Senegal's coast this weekend after the ocean became too turbulent for their boat to cross, a military spokesman said Monday.
They were left to huddle in their bathing suits and shorts covered only with their wet towels as night fell. Kebe said the helicopter arrived to rescue them on Sunday morning.
They became stranded on lie de Madeleine on Saturday when the waves became too large for their small fishing vessels to leave the island's cove, said spokesman Col. Abdourahim Kebe.
MOSCOW
Russian news agencies say the country's space agency is delaying both the return of astronauts from the International Space Station and the launchoff their mission tothe orbiting laboratory.
The announcements came after last week's failure of the launch of an unmanned supply ship to the space station. The craft Soyuz rocket sending it into space failed after launch and crashed and exploded in a forested area of Biberia.
The news agencies RIA Novosti, ITAR-Tass and Interfax on Monday quoted the head of Roscosmos'smanned spaceoperations, Alexei Krasnov, as saying the return of three astronauts from the ISS was being put off from Sept. 8 to about Sept. 16.
TAIPEI, TAIWAN
A typhoon that flooded homes, roads and farmland in Taiwan with more than 20 inches of rain left the island Monday and headed to southeastern China. Typhoon Nanmadol stayed over Taiwan for only a few hours and was weaker when it pummed the Philippines, where at least 16 people died and another eight were missing.
One death in Taiwan was attributed to the storm — a motorcyclist hit by debris — and disruption to everyday life was extensive.
Some 30,000 households in southern and eastern Taiwan lost power, 8,000 people were evacuated and scores of roads and bridges were closed due to the heavy rain. Offices and schools were closed in the southeast.
CAMPUS
Underground completed
The project, funded by student fees at a cost of $478,000, added 3,000 square feet and 140 seats to The Underground located in Wescock Hall.
Student Senate representatives will celebrate the official completion of The Underground expansion project by unveiling a plaque Thursday inside the dining facility.
The expansion was a 2010-2011 platform initiative of former Student Body President Michael Wade Smith and Vice President Megan Ritter.
Both will attend the ceremony which takes place at 4:15 p.m.
All are welcome to attend.
Those with information about the accident can contact the police department at (785) 832-7650 or (785) 843-TIPS. Any additional updates on the case will be posted at www.lawenceks.org/police.

Fatal accident victim identified
Police think the Jeep was traveling westbound on North 1800 Road at a high speed and left the road at the entrance to the park. The police department's traffic unit continues to investigate the cause of the accident and has not determined if alcohol was a contributing factor. Police suspect the jeep may have been the subject of a terminated pursuit by Tonganoxie police earlier in the day.

The Lawrence Police Department identified 29 year-old Tyler Yaroch, of Midland, Mich., as the driver killed in a one-car accident in North Lawrence Saturday night, according to a press release Monday. Yaroch was pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe that he was ejected from a 2000 Jeep Wrangler sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m., when the accident was reported. There were no passengers in the Jeep at the time of the accident.

Clown-mistaken golfer gets DWI
BATAVIA, N.Y. — A Massachusetts man whose colorful golf attire was briefly mistaken for a clown outfit has been charged in New York with driving a golf cart while drunk.
The Genesee County sheriff says they got a report that someone dressed as a clown was operating a stolen golf cart in the western New York town of Batavia on Sunday night. Deputies found 37-year-old James Straub, of Stoneham, Mass., driving along a road.
Associated Press
He wasn't dressed as a clown — just wearing some colorful clothing after an outing at Terry Hills Golf Course. But deputies say he was intoxicated.
Straub pleaded not guilty in town court to a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated and a lesser charge of refusing to take a breath test. He didn't have a lawyer at his initial appearance.
