Foreigners protest Cuba embargo: Thousands of pro-Cuba foreigners from around the world — including hundreds of Americans — joined Fidel Castro on Tuesday to demand an end to the 40-year-old U.S. trade embargo against the communist island. Flags from Brazil, the African National Congress, New Zealand and other countries and organizations fluttered amid a sea of Cuban flags as the crowd gathered outside the U.S. Interests Section, the American mission here. Protesters want president ejected: Thousands of Philippine workers and students staged a rally Tuesday near the palace of President Joseph Estrada, with demands that he step down without waiting for the outcome of an impeachment trial for corruption.

Commission argue on trade talks: A new round of multinational trade talks would be one way to deal with America’s lop­ sided trade deficit, a congressionally appoint­ ed commission said Tuesday. The panel’s Republicans and Democrats differed on whether labor and environmental issues should be part of the talks. The 12-member U.S. Trade Deficit Review Commission, divid­ ed equally between the parties, also came to divergent conclusions on causes and conse­ quences of the growing trade deficit, with Democrats expressing more pessimism about its effects on American life.

minutes she played in the second half. Although the Irish began the second half on a 19-2 run to expand the lead to 75-33, McGraw was still concerned. “I don't think we gave her (Riley) enough opportuni­ ties," McGraw said. “Seven shots (Riley’s total attempts on the night) is not enough.” Notre Dame started off slow and led 17-12 before scoring 11 straight. A Jeneka Joyce three-pointer from the left wing gave the Irish their biggest lead of the half at 48-21 with four minutes remaining. In her second collegiate game, Joyce scored all 14 of her points in the first 20 minutes. She was the first player off the bench and connected on four three- pointers. Forward Alicia Ratay (17 points and 8 rebounds) also nailed four 3s, while point guard Niele Ivey missed a triple double by one point and two assists. Ivey led the team with 10 rebounds. Tapiolen Ilonka returns to Europe today after playing 10 games in the past 17 days. They lost 120-46 to Ohio State on Sunday and 119-44 against Purdue on Nov. 1. The team shot just 33 percent from the field on Tuesday, including 25 per­ cent in the second half. “It’s nice to go home,” coach Mikko Mantyla said. “We’ve got a lot to work to LIZ LANG/The O bserver do in the next three days,” Senior Ruth Riley shown above, goes up for a shot.
