Ballot measure would strip pensions from corrupt lawmakers
FILE - In this Thursday, May 12, 2016, file photo, former Senate majority leader Dean Skelos, center, leaves court in New York. New York voters in November 2017 will decide whether to allow judges to strip the pensions of corrupt officials. Calls to crack down on corruption in New York picked up momentum after both Democratic Speaker Sheldon Silver and Skelos were convicted of corruption, though the convictions have since been reversed because of a U.S. Supreme Court verdict. Regardless, the pensions they had coming for their years of service — nearly $100,000 a year for Skelos and $85,000 to $98,000 a year for Silver — were never imperiled. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File)

How did an Islamic State flag end up in Edmonton? Flag sellers offer theories
A fighter of Christian Syriac militia that battles the Islamic State group under the banner of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, burns an IS flag on the front line on the western side of Raqqa, northeast Syria, on July 17, 2017. Edmonton police have said an Islamic State flag was found last weekend in a vehicle involved in what they are investigating as a terrorist attack. Abdulahi Hasan Sharif, a 30-year-old Somali refugee, is accused of hitting a police officer with a speeding car, stabbing him and then mowing down pedestrians with a cube van. He faces 11 charges, including five of attempted murder. Sharif does not currently face any terrorism charges. Arif Dewji, owner of House of Flags and Banners in Coquitlam, B.C., said he doubts anyone in Canada would have been able to get his hands on a professionally made flag locally, but it's possible it came from China. Images of the flag come up search results on the Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba, but not on eBay or Amazon. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP, Hussein Malla
