Guests At Matthew McConaughey's Wedding Played Lawn Games

published: 2012-06-10 20:54:25

More details from Matthew McConaughey?s wedding are emerging, and each makes this past weekend?s ceremony sound just a bit more awesome. The bride and groom invited their friends and family to stay in luxury, air conditioned tents in the backyard of the family home. Each came with its own patio and doormat, and apparently, there were games everywhere.

According to People, the invited sipped on beers, relaxed in hammocks and played bags and ring toss in their bare feet during the lazy Saturday lead up to the formal vow exchanges. Hours later when the big moment finally arrived, McConaughey reportedly changed into a Dolce & Gabbana tuxeo, while his soon-to-be wife Camila flaunted a custom Brazilian wedding dress.

Austin, Texas might not be known for its Hollywood luxury, but the festivities were reportedly a perfect blend between Texas fun and California glitz. There are few activities more enjoyable than playing bags with a drink and a cocky expression on your face, but watching close friends finally say their I-Dos might be one of them. Bravo to this weekend for offering a lucky few dozen both.

Matthew and Camila began dating five years ago and have been joined at the hip ever since. They have two children together and now, a renewed commitment to make it last forever. Pop Blend sends out its warmest well-wishes to the couple and shoots a pleasant but envious glare at the lucky souls who got to witness the activities first hand.

BEIJING (AP) ? China will launch three astronauts this month to dock with an orbiting experimental module, and the crew might include its first female space traveler, a government news agency said Saturday.

A rocket carrying the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft was moved to a launch pad in China's desert northwest on Saturday for the mid-June flight, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing an space program spokesman.

The three-member crew will dock with and live in the Tiangong 1 orbital module launched last year, Xinhua said. The government has not said how long the mission will last.

Xinhua cited Niu Hongguang, deputy commander in chief of the manned space program, as saying the crew "might include female astronauts."

The government said in 2010 that two female air force pilots had joined the astronaut program but has disclosed no other details.

China's space program has made steady progress since a 2003 launch that made it only the third nation to put a man in space on its own. Two more manned missions have followed, one including a space walk.

China completed its first space rendezvous in November when the unmanned Shenzhou 8 docked with the Tiangong 1 by remote control. Tiangong 1 was launched on Sept. 29.

Over the next few days, scientists will test the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft, the Long March 2F rocket and ground systems, Xinhua said, citing the spokesman.

During the flight, one crew member will remain aboard the Shenzhou 9 "as a precautionary measure in case of emergency" while the others enter Tiangong 1, Xinhua said.

China has scheduled two space docking missions for this year and plans to complete a manned space station around 2020 to replace Tiangong 1. At about 60 tons, the Chinese station will be considerably smaller than the 16-nation International Space Station.

Beijing launched its independent space station program after being turned away from the International Space Station, largely due to U.S. objections. Washington is wary of the Chinese program's military links and of sharing technology with an economic and political rival.

Spain goes from boom to bailout in a decade

MADRID (AP) ? Spain's economic fortunes have gone from boom to deep financial crisis over the past decade. Here are the main developments:

BIRTH OF THE EURO

?Spain is one of 12 countries that joined the single European currency in 1999. Following the euro's launch in 2002, the euro is now shared by 17 countries. Spain's membership in this powerful bloc gave it access to lower interest rate loans than it would have got on its own.

PROPERTY GOLDRUSH

?Cheap money triggered a real estate boom as property developers and families borrowed heavily. This fueled an unprecedented economic expansion known as the "Spanish fiesta". The country's then-muscular economy, the fourth-largest in the eurozone, rode out the 2008 financial crisis as its main lenders ? and savings banks called cajas ? were widely viewed by investors as sound.

FROM BOOM TO BUST

?Unemployment started rising. The jobless rate, which stood at 8.3 percent in 2007, jumped to 18 percent in 2009. It is now almost 25 percent. The huge numbers of unsold properties in Spain caused prices to plummet.

CAUGHT UP IN EUROZONE'S DEBT CRISIS

?As the eurozone's debt crisis worsened with problems in Greece, Ireland and Portugal, so Spain's problems became more acute. By 2009, the financial sector was sitting on ?445 billion ($553.49 billion) worth of property-related loans. Regional governments also turned out to be deep in debt as income linked to new construction licenses and taxes dried up.

ZAPATERO ACTS

?In 2010, Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero introduced controversial hikes in the retirement age, from 65 to 67, and in sales taxes to get a handle on the size of government debt and appease markets. Zapatero's measures failed to halt the country's slide into recession and he was forced to call early elections in 2011.

CHANGE AT THE TOP

?The conservative Popular Party, led by Mariano Rajoy, took office in December 2011. Rajoy moved quickly on reforms and austerity measures, triggering massive demonstrations by people worried about their future. Many protesters were young ? the jobless rate for those between 16 and 24 has reached 52 percent.

DRAGGED ALONG BY THE TIDE

?Rajoy has had to nationalize eight lenders facing bankruptcy as Spain fell into a double-dip recession. But investors and markets have continued to focus on the financial sector's ?180 billion in toxic real estate assets and the financial health of the wider eurozone. This has sent Spain's borrowing costs on the international debt markets to worryingly high levels.

EATING YOUR WORDS

? Rajoy and his team have been adamant that the Spanish banking sector would not need a bailout. On May 28, he said: "There will be no rescue of the Spanish banking sector." On Saturday, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said Spain will ask for a bailout after European finance ministers authorized a rescue amount of up to ?100 billion ($125 billion). Asked why Rajoy didn't make the announcement, de Guindos replied that he did because he is the representative to the European Union's group of finance ministers. De Guindos dodged a question on whether Rajoy still planned to head to Poland on Sunday to see Spain take on Italy in the Euro 2012 football competition. But Rajoy's Poland trip had been removed from his official agenda on his presidential website.

Clemens perjury trial slogs toward finish line

WASHINGTON (AP) ? U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said he hopes to get the Roger Clemens perjury trial to the jury by Tuesday, although that could prove overly optimistic given the pace of the trial so far.

The defense plans to wrap up its case Monday morning, and the government will call rebuttal witnesses, which could take about a half day. Walton said he expects to get to closing arguments Tuesday and then send the case to jurors.

On Friday, which concluded the eighth week of the trial, Clemens' wife, Debbie, testified that Roger Clemens was not present when she received a shot of human growth hormone from his strength coach. That contradicted a portion of the testimony from the coach, Brian McNamee, who is the former pitching star's chief accuser in the case.

McNamee testified last month that not only was Clemens present, he had summoned McNamee to the couple's master bathroom in Houston to give Debbie Clemens the drug.

McNamee said she looked at her husband and said, "I can't believe you're going to let him do this to me," and Roger Clemens responded, "He injects me. Why can't he inject you?"

McNamee is the only person to give firsthand testimony that Roger Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs during his baseball career.

On cross-examination by the prosecution, Debbie Clemens said of her husband's view of HGH, "I don't think he thought it was bad." She added, "It wasn't like doing heroin."

Clemens is charged with lying to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Among more than a dozen false statements he's alleged to have made are that he never used HGH and that McNamee injected his wife without Roger Clemens' prior knowledge or approval.

Friday's session at times felt like an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," as the jury was shown pictures of the palatial master bedroom in Clemens' home and a bathroom that Debbie Clemens said was as big as a kitchen. She said the property has seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, counting the pool house.

Walton, who allows jurors to ask questions that he deems appropriate, relayed one from a juror who wanted to know if Debbie Clemens would take HGH now.

"I might. I don't yet. I don't know that I'm old enough yet, but this is aging me," she replied with a laugh.

Debbie Clemens never cracked on the stand, but her tone occasionally got testy. At one point, she sighed deeply, like someone who's having a bad day.

Before defense lawyer Rusty Hardin began his questioning, he said, "It's almost over."

"Praise God," she replied.

UN says 7 peacekeepers killed in Ivory Coast

UNITED NATIONS (AP) ? Armed men ambushed and killed seven U.N. peacekeepers trying to protect villagers in Ivory Coast on Friday and more than 40 of their colleagues who stayed to guard from more attacks remain in danger, the United Nations said.

Hundreds of villagers were fleeing the area near the Liberian border, and U.N. officials said others may have been killed or injured. Authorities have been unable to confirm any additional casualties because of the remoteness of the area near the Liberian border.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms," saying he was "saddened and outraged" about the deaths of the peacekeepers, all from Niger. He urged the government of Ivory Coast to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

Later on Friday, the U.N. Security Council released a press statement condemning the attack.

Ivory Coast's deputy defense minister Paul Koffi Koffi said government forces, along with Liberian and U.N. forces, will launch an operation on June 15 to find the men responsible. He said they were "militia men or mercenaries."

Koffi Koffi said they could not respond sooner because it would take time to gather equipment and prepare the forces.

An Ivorian Cabinet official who was briefed on the matter said President Alasanne Ouattara requested helicopter gunships from the U.N. and expected them to arrive by Monday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

Bert Koenders, the U.N. envoy to the west African nation, said the peacekeepers were part of a patrol south of the town of Tai, an area the U.N. mission recently reinforced because of threats of attacks against the civilian population. The ambush involved a large group of armed men, a U.N. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

"Their colleagues are still in danger," Ban told reporters. "Even tonight, after the attack, more than 40 peacekeepers remain with the villagers in this remote region to protect them from this armed group."

The mayor of Tai, Desire Gnonkonte, told AP that hundreds of villagers were fleeing the area.

"We are moving in reinforcements as soon as we have daylight," said Kieran Dwyer, the spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping department.

Josephine Guerrero, a spokeswoman for the U.N.'s Department of Peacekeeping Operations, said it was the biggest attack on peacekeepers in recent years.

Sylvie van den Wildenberg, acting spokeswoman for the U.N. mission in Ivory Coast, called it "the first attack of its kind" against U.N. peacekeepers in the country.

She said several vehicles were on a reconnaissance patrol near the village of Para on the southern axis of Tai to follow up on "rumors of movement of armed people in the area and threats on the security of civilians."

"There were several vehicles on the patrol and the leading vehicles were strongly hit," van den Wildenberg said. "The area is densely forested and very tough terrain."

Once a stable nation, the world's largest cocoa producer was split into a rebel-controlled north and government-controlled south after an attempted coup sparked civil war in 2002. A peace deal in March 2007 brought key rebel leaders into the administration and offered hope for a single government after years of foundering accords and disarmament plans.

But the country headed to the brink of civil war after a presidential runoff in early 2011 when then-president Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede defeat after losing to Ouattara, the internationally recognized winner of the election. Gbagbo was arrested with the help of U.N. and French forces in April 2011, and is now facing charges of war crimes at The Hague. Ouattara was sworn in as president soon after.

Following Gbagbo's arrest, many of the mercenaries and militiamen who fought for him fled across the porous border into Liberia's forests, or clandestinely, into its refugee camps.

Western Ivory Coast has remained particularly unstable, and Human Rights Watch said earlier this week that armed groups in Liberia who supported Gbagbo have killed at least 40 civilians in cross-border raids into Ivory Coast since July. The deaths have all been near Tai, Human Rights Watch said.

"In the four cross-border attacks since June 2011, the motivation appears to have been both political vengeance and related to land conflict - issues that overlap in Ivory Coast's volatile west. Those killed or whose houses were burned predominantly belong to ethnic groups that largely voted for president Ouattara," the group said in its report.

Matt Wells, West Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch, told AP that the organization hasn't confirmed details of the attack but "pro-Gbagbo militants have conducted repeated raids from Liberia into this region of Ivory Coast."

"The Gbagbo camp often resorted to inciting rhetoric against U.N. personnel during the Ivorian crisis, though today's deadly attack is the first of its kind during the recent Ivorian crisis," Wells said

"Liberian and Ivorian authorities need to quickly work together to bring to account those involved in this heinous act," he said.

The United Nations has had a peacekeeping mission in Ivory Coast since 2004.

At the end of April, the U.N. said there were about 9,400 peacekeeping troops, 200 military observers and 1,350 international police in the mission along with civilian staff. Over 40 countries are contributing military personnel.

Koenders said the U.N. mission "will take all necessary measures following this grave violation of international law."
