Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived here on Tuesday night for meetings with fellow foreign ministers aimed at solidifying a second front, in Southeast Asia, in the campaign against global terrorism.
Sent 2: But he has had to balance that goal with longstanding concerns about human rights abuses in the region.
Sent 3: In meetings on Tuesday in Malaysia and Singapore before touching down in this oil-producing sultanate for two days of talks with members of the Association of South East Asian Nations, Powell said he repeatedly raised the issue.
Sent 4: "We still believe strongly in human rights, and that everything we do has to be consistent with universal standards of human rights," he said.
Sent 5: But at a news conference in Singapore, Powell hinted that the Bush administration was ready to discuss resuming military cooperation with Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation and a sometimes reluctant partner in the efforts to crack down on militant Islamic groups.
Sent 6: The United States cut virtually all military links with Indonesia in 1999 after its forces were implicated in the violence that swept East Timor after that territory voted for independence.
Sent 7: On Thursday, Powell and representatives of the nations of the Asian group, including Indonesia, are expected to sign a declaration promising cooperation to prevent terrorism by sharing information, blocking funds, tightening borders and making it hard to use forged travel papers.
Sent 8: "We recognized that terrorism is a global threat and that the disturbing acts of terrorism and transnational crimes, which continue to threaten world peace and stability, must be tackled by the international community," the ministers said in a communique on Tuesday.
Sent 9: Powell is among the representatives from 13 nations outside Southeast Asia, including China, Japan and Russia, that are taking part in the annual meeting of the group's regional forum.
Sent 10: Terrorism dominates the agenda, though the possibility of a meeting here between Powell and his North Korean counterpart, Paek Nam Sun, has generated the most news.
Sent 11: It would be the highest-level contact between the United States and North Korea since President Bush took office.
Sent 12: Powell heads to Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, late on Thursday before finishing a weeklong trip through the region in the Philippines on Saturday.
Sent 13: He said that when he arrives in Jakarta, he will have "some ideas and some initiatives" to present to President Megawati Sukarnoputri.
Sent 14: Indonesia is already receiving $400,000 in the current fiscal year for civilian training programs and is to receive a like amount next year; and the United States expects to provide an additional $16 million this year to train police officers in counterterrorism.
Sent 15: At the same time, the Pentagon is reviewing how to allocate another $17 million in "counterterrorism fellowships," some of which could go to Indonesia.
Sent 16: But a senior State Department official also acknowledged that some in the administration and Congress are pushing for more direct military cooperation, which would require congressional approval.
Sent 17: "I think they recognize the danger that we all face and I think they have been cooperating more fully with us as time goes by, and I'm quite sure that Mrs. Megawati is committed to this cause," Powell said in Singapore.
Sent 18: He met there with Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, who endorsed the idea of renewed military ties between the United States and Indonesia as an important step in stabilizing that country. 
Question: Who is the Prime Minister of Singapore?.

Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Dam Good Luck: From the beginning, Las Vegas was built to serve travelers.
Sent 2: The railroad needed a way station, and Las Vegas was the place.
Sent 3: Growth continued for ten years, and by 1915 the town had telephones, round-the-clock electricity, and a growing population — many of whom worked in the railroad repair shop.
Sent 4: But such heady progress would soon come to a halt.
Sent 5: The growing competition in rail transport resulted in Union Pacific buying the Los Angeles–Salt Lake line.
Sent 6: Union Pacific then consolidated its operations, eliminating the Las Vegas repair facility.
Sent 7: Additionally, Las Vegas had been made a part of Nevada's new Clark County in 1909, a year when the legislature also outlawed gambling.
Sent 8: These unfortunate circumstances threatened to relegate Las Vegas to the status of a small desert community that could no longer support its 3000 residents.
Sent 9: But the southwest's growing need for water, combined with Las Vegas's fortuitous proximity to the Colorado River, would give Las Vegas a second chance to achieve prosperity.
Sent 10: Construction on Hoover Dam (originally Boulder Dam, subsequently renamed for the president who authorized the project) began in 1931 in a canyon 45 miles (72 km) southeast of Las Vegas.
Sent 11: Providing an influx of $165 million to the southwestern economy, Hoover Dam played a major role in preventing Las Vegas from drying up, both financially and literally.
Sent 12: Not only did it create jobs, but it also created Lake Mead, the massive reservoir that today provides water to all of southern Nevada.
Sent 13: More Government Help: The construction of Hoover Dam did not single-handedly save Las Vegas, however.
Sent 14: The state legislature helped as well, by legalizing gambling in 1931 and thus solidifying the future of the town, though legislators and residents could never have known this at the time.
Sent 15: The hordes of people who attended Hoover Dam's 1935 dedication set the city's now-formidable public relations machine into action.
Sent 16: They went to work on what has become one of the lengthiest citywide tourism campaigns ever attempted.
Sent 17: It didn't take long for the city to establish itself as a wild-West town with an "anything goes" attitude.
Sent 18: Vices outlawed or heavily controlled elsewhere were legal here, available any hour of any day (or night). 
Question: What happened to the operations after Union Pacific purchased the Los Angeles-Salt Lake line?.

Answer:
It consolidated them thus eliminating the Las Vegas repair facility.
