Attacks raise concerns in Northern Ireland (AP)

August 26th, 2010

This photo of Monday Aug. 23, 2010 shows Martin Larkham, a youth work manager from Lurgan, Northern Ireland displaying a piece of art work that was completed by teenagers from across the religious divide. Bursts of laughter. Young men playing ping pong. Battles of the bands. In a Northern Ireland determined to put conflict behind it, the Links teen center bridges the divide between Catholic and Protestant teens in this struggling town, giving them something to do, an alternative to streets that offer a toxic mix of drugs and violence. It's working, but like the peace process itself, it is under strain amid looming budget cuts. 'We're just keeping our heads above water,' said Martin Larkham, 52, a youth work manager. 'Everybody is.' (AP Photo/Peter Morrison)AP - Bursts of laughter. Young men playing ping pong. Battles of the bands.
