Just what Sonia Gandhi got eviscerated for, he proudly declared was his preferred course of action and may his fury fall on anyone who disagreed.

Yet, the current political climate will not allow his two fighting heirs to follow that path. There are too many calls for “accountability”. Besides, neither of them have his clout, his political acumen or his brazen chutzpah. The Lok Sabha elections, the victory of the BJP and its allies and the rout of the Congress have all brought the carrot of power so, so close to the Shiv Sena and the BJP in Maharashtra.

IRCTC Tatkal Ticket: Tatkal tickets can be booked at 10:00 am for AC coaches.

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), the online ticketing arm of the Indian Railways, offers a train ticket booking facility for individuals travelling on an urgent basis. Known as Tatkal ticket booking scheme, travellers can reserve or book train tickets at 10:00 am for air-conditioned (AC) classes and at 11:00 am for non-AC classes under this facility, a day before the actual date of journey, Indian Railways noted on its website indianrail.gov.in. Tatkal train tickets can be booked online from the IRCTC's website irctc.co.in or from any railway reservation centres. Railway ticketing agents and the web agents of IRCTC are restricted from booking Tatkal tickets during the 10:00 am and 12:00 pm every day,further,

In February 2011, the plaintiff was convicted, upon his plea of guilty, of two counts of sexual abuse in the first degree for acts he committed in the summer of 2003. One of the plaintiff's victims, M.F., resided in the home adjacent to the plaintiff's home in Carmel. The plaintiff was designated a level three sex offender and his sentence included a 10-year period of probation. Additionally, an order of protection was issued that included a provision requiring the defendant to stay a certain distance away from M.F. The plaintiff claimed that this provision barred him from returning to his home. The plaintiff subsequently moved to amend the


dangerous to change the position of the camera: that's why the video only shows what is visible on the right side of the bus. Thus, although we don't see it, as the bus leaves the modern town it drives past the Museum and the square where its Director, Khaled al-Asaad, was murdered last year and his body hung on a lamp post.

You then enter the archaeological area and first spot the emptiness where had been the well-preserved Temple of Balshamin.

Not 50 meters (150') away on the left, you can see the Zenobia Hotel behind the palm trees. We often sat in Zenobia's garden with a cool beer, watching the sun set over this temple, as the dying light turned the apricot-coloured stone into purple and then night.

The Templeof Khaled al-Asaad told Expressen.

I suppose what they could not understand was that Palmyra itself was the treasure. And so they themselves destroyed the gold.

Note an old error crept into the text on the video: King Solomon did not found Tadmor. That idea was based on a misreading of the place name "Tamar" in 1 Kings 9:18, conflating it with "Tadmor", the Semitic name for Palmyra (both names meaning 'palm trees').

About Me

I studied Classical Archaeology at the University of Oxford (M.Litt.) and am a member of the British School at Athens. I excavated for many years on Crete and on the Greek mainland and travelled extensively in the Middle East. I


have lived and worked among the ruins of the three great Caravan Cities: Petra, Palmyra, and Baalbek. It was at Palmyra in Syria that I began to tell the story of Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, and the rebellion that she led against imperial Rome. I was living within the grounds of the Temple of Bel, and at night, when the great gates of the temple were shut, I came closer to the spirit of the time and place than probably anyone has ever done before. I know that I felt very close to Zenobia, which made the book a joy for me to write.

That determination is embodied in the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), signed in 1996 following a half-century of passionate discussions, various proposals, and international research to ensure that attempts to evade the treaty would be detected.The CTBT forbids all nuclear tests, including those intended for peaceful purposes, and creates an international monitoring network to search for evidence of clandestine nuclear explosions. The agreement--signed by President Clinton but still to be ratified by the U.S. Senate--is of profound interest to dozens of scientists at Lawrence Livermore. They have worked over the past several years to support American diplomats


Treaty was signed by President Clinton and other heads of state on September 24, 1996, at the United Nations, following two years of international negotiations. In signing the treaty, President Clinton used the same pen President John F. Kennedy used to sign the Limited Test Ban Treaty. Following the signing ceremony, the President told the United Nations General Assembly that the treaty "points us toward a century in which the roles and risks of nuclear weapons can be even further reduced--and eventually eliminated."As of mid-1998, the treaty has been signed by 149 nations and ratified by 13 nations. The treaty will not enter into force until ratified by the 44 nations named in the treaty that possess nuclear reactors. The U.S. has signed but not ratified the treaty;in November 1996 to create the international monitoring and verification regime.

The CTBT's International Monitoring System will consist of a network of automated scientific instrumentation stations, secure communications links, and the International Data Center based in Vienna, Austria. The monitoring stations (many of which already exist) will consist of 170 seismic stations to record underground pressure waves, 60 infrasound stations to record low-frequency sound waves in the air, 11 hydroacoustic stations to record underwater sound waves, and
80 radionuclide stations to record airborne radioactive gases or particles (Figure 1).

Each day, these stations will transmit enormous amounts of data via satellite to the International Data Center in Vienna, which in turn distributes it to national data centers around the world. Computers at the international center will process the raw data, associate


seismic stations and offshore hydrophones to water-borne signals.The database of nuclear explosions at sea is limited to a few tests carried out years ago by the agencies preceding the DOE. Because data are so limited, Livermore scientists have developed a calculational capability to predict the effects of underwater nuclear explosions. They used this capability to provide diplomats with options for hydroacoustic networks. They also provided analyses showing the economic advantages of fixed hydroacoustic stations (connected by cable to recording sites on land) over unmoored, floating buoys. On the basis of this work, a network of six hydrophones and five island seismometers was chosen as the international system to detect and locate underwater explosions and, in some cases, explosions in the low atmosphere.The network takes advantage of the factratio strongly characteristic of an explosion and not an earthquake (Figure 5).

Zucca points out that the Indian test successfully demonstrated the capability of the international network. Based on Livermore's work at other sites and current examination of events in this area, he is confident a potential nuclear explosion in key areas of interest can be detected and identified down to much smaller magnitudes. In other words, says Zucca, the world will soon have strong international monitoring and analysis capabilities to help determine international compliance with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

He has worked primarily for the Laboratory's Treaty Verification Program, concentrating on seismic instrumentation development, on-site inspection, and regional seismology.

He is currently a member of the U.S delegation to the Preparatory Commission for the CTBT. Zucca received his B.S. from the University of California at Berkeley and his Ph.D. from Stanford University. He completed postdoctoral positions at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park and the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.last week, Willingham said her research of 183 football or basketball players at UNC from 2004 to 2012 found 60 percent reading at fourth- to eighth-grade levels and roughly 10 percent below a third-grade level. She said she worked with one men's basketball player early in her 10-year tenure who couldn't read or write.

Willingham hasn't returned calls from The Associated Press and didn't respond to emails Thursday.

UNC coach Roy Williams and the school have refuted the report.

The school said in a statement Thursday evening that it has notified Willingham she can't continue to use data with information that could identify the subjects until she applies to the university's review board that governs human research. Researchers don't require board approval for research if it doesn't include identifiable information on


the subjects, the school pointed out in the statement.

Willingham's research work dates back to 2008. The UNC statement also said Willingham had provided the data that led to her findings to provost James W. Dean Jr. earlier this week.

In Folt's letter, also posted on the university's website, she said two of 321 athletes admitted in 2012 and 2013 fell below test thresholds used in the CNN report -- a 400 on the SAT critical reading or writing test, or a 16 on the ACT -- about reading levels for first-year students nationally. Folt said both are currently in good academic standing.

The school also released an analysis from its admissions office saying that more than 97 percent of 1,377 first-year student-athletes admitted through special-talent policies between 2004 and 2012met the standard in the CNN report. Thirty-four of the 39 who didn't meet the standard have graduated, are enrolled in good standing or are academically eligible to return.

Folt, a former interim president at Dartmouth, is in her first academic year after replacing Holden Thorp. Thorp left last year amid the fallout of an NCAA investigation into the football program in 2010 that eventually led to the discovery of fraud in an academic department with classes featuring significant athlete enrollments. The irregularities ranged from no-show classes to unauthorized grade changes stretching back to 1997, and has led to the recent indictment of the retired department chairman who was paid to teach a lecture course that didn't meet and was instead treated as an independent study requiring a research

Sergey Kislyak, Russian ambassador to the U.S., arrives to President Donald Trump address to a joint session of Congress on Feb. 28, 2017, in Washington. Brendan Smialowski / AFP - Getty Images, file

The way Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, tells it, any discussions he may or may not have had with political figures before last year's election should come as no surprise.

Kislyak, who has represented Moscow in Washington since 2008, is the figure who ties together all of the threads of speculation surrounding alleged connections between Russia and Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

When Trump delivered an invitation-only address on foreign policy in Washington, D.C., in April 2016, there was Kislyak,


sitting in the front row.

When Michael Flynn resigned as Trump's national security adviser on Feb. 13, it was because of the fallout from public disclosure of his telephone calls with Kislyak, both before and after Election Day. NBC News reported that the Justice Department informed the White House that it believed Flynn could be subject to blackmail.

And when Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself Thursday from Justice Department investigations of alleged Russian interference in the election, he did so one day after it was disclosed that he, too, had met with Kislyak during the campaign — including once at a private meeting in his Senate office two months before the election.

"I don't think he's a spy literally. He is a veteran diplomat," said John McLaughlin, who was acting director of the CIA during the Clinton administration.

But "he's very clever, he's very experienced," McLaughlin said Thursday on MSNBC-TV. "He would certainly be collecting information. That's what diplomats and spies do."

At a seminar at Stanford University on Nov. 10, two days after Trump was elected, Kislyak insisted that what he does isn't nefarious.

"Our job is to talk to all the people — be it Republicans, be it Democrats, whether they work for a campaign or they don't work for a campaign," Kislyak said. "Our job is to understand, to help Russia."

For such a consequential figure, Kislyak — a burly, graying 66-year-old who looks


like nothing other than the stereotype of a Russian government apparatchik — has maintained a remarkably low profile throughout his four decades in the diplomatic service of first the former Soviet Union and then the Russian Federation.

All the Russian Foreign Ministry will say about Kislyak (pronounced KEESS-lee-ack) is that he is married with a daughter, that he was trained as an engineer and that he speaks French and English.

Even Russia's media have had little to report about him beyond his official statements and actions: When Kislyak was appointed U.S. ambassador in July 2008, the pro-Kremlin news website Vz.ru called him a "non-public person" who "speaks reluctantly."

Michael McFaul, who was President Barack Obama's ambassador to Russia until 2014, calls Kislyak a close friend despite their political differences. But evenMontreal Canadiens defenseman Tom Gilbert left Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild and will not return.

with the last written in the week before her death. Amassed by feminist scholar Harriet Rosenstein, who planned but never finished a biography of Plath, they include correspondence in which Plath alleges that Hughes had told her that he wanted her dead, and that he had beaten her two days before she had a miscarriage in 1961.

It is, of course, as marital-fairness-championing literary historians will point out, still only Plath’s version of events. It is a version discredited with some ferocity over the decades: her mental illness, her pre-Hughes depressive episodes and her poetic (and literal) romance with doom and gloom have all provided ammunition. Even Plath biographers have sympathised with this view; in Bitter Fame: A Life of Sylvia Plath, Anne Stevenson declared that Plath constructed herselfthey did marry their wedding night featured “a crimson curtain catching fire, a hallucinating bridegroom believing he was in hell and then pacing the long ghostly gallery with loaded pistols”. By morning, Annabella described “the deadliest chill having fallen over her heart”. Like Plath, she became jealous of the other claims on Byron’s affections and felt summarily tossed aside as he pursued new conquests. No problem for Byron: however poor his treatment of women, he remains “one of the most celebrated physical beings of the early 19th century, with the possible exception of Napoleon”.

A legal immigrant from Cuba caused a 28-vehicle crash in Lakewood, Colorado, that left four men dead, law enforcement officials have confirmed.

Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos, a 23-year-old green card holder from Cuba, is the main suspect behind a 28-vehicle crash that ended in flames, four deaths, and left ten others injured in the hospital last week, FOX31 Denver reports.

Lakewood Police Department officials told local media that the crash, allegedly caused by Aguilera-Mederos, involved 24 cars and four semi-trailer trucks. The Cuban immigrant was driving a truck carrying lumber when the crash occurred. He is a resident of Houston, Texas, and has been living in the U.S. on a green card.

According to court records, Aguilera-Mederos told police at the time that he was driving at 85 mph when he learnedthat his brakes on his trucks were not working. That is when he says he attempted to pull over to the shoulder but was unable to because another truck was already pulled over.

The crash left four American men trapped in their vehicles as they burned in flames, police said. The four men — 61-year-old Doyle Harrison, 67-year-old William Bailey, 24-year-old Miguel Angel Lamas Arrellano, and 69-year-old Stanley Politano — ultimately died in their vehicles.

Aguilera-Mederos is expected to be hit with four vehicular homicide charges and is currently being held on a $400,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for May 3.

Nine of the ten individuals who were rushed to the hospital after the crash have since been released, according to CBS Denver.

in the Scriptures means to dip, submerge, or immerse. The first person to baptise people in the New Testament was John the baptist. In baptism we appeal to God for forgiveness.[13]

Philip & the Ethiopian

When the message of Jesus was accepted by someone seeking the truth, he was baptized. Philip, a disciple of Jesus, was guided by an angel to meet an Ethiopian. Philip talked to him about Jesus, from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Ethiopian believed what Philip had said and asked for baptism. Philip baptized him there and then.[14]

Baptism symbolizes dying and being buried with Jesus and then, just as Jesus rose, the believer is raised to a new life in Christ.

Abidal ends Nou Camp stay with emotional send off... as Cesc and Villa may well have also played their final games for Barcelona

Eric Abidal ended his six-year stay at Barcelona with an emotional send off inside the Nou Camp.

The French defender, 33, who has fought back from a liver tumour and a liver transplant, was presented with a framed Barca shirt that said 'Merci Abi' and thrown into the air by his team-mates.

And Cesc Fabregas, a target for Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal, and David Villa, who is being chased by the Gunners and their north London rivals Tottenham, may also have played their final games for the Catalan club - both scored in an excellent 4-1 win over Malaga.

Abidal entered the game as a 75th minutesubstitute to great cheers after announcing earlier this week in a tearful press conference that he would not be signing on for another season.

Send off: Eric Abidal is thrown in the air by his team-mates after his six year spell at Barcelona came to an end

Memento: Abidal was given a framed shirt as a thank you gift

Abidal was a free signing from Lyon in the summer of 2007 and has gone on to make nearly 200 appearances for what have been some of the best club teams in football history.

During his six year stay he won four league titles, two Champions Leagues, the Copa del Rey twice, three Supercopa de Espana and the Fifa Club World Cup twice.

He was also named in the UEFA team of the year


in 2007 and was named as the best defender in La Liga in 2011.

Final goal: Cesc Fabregas scored an excellent goal in what might be his last game for Barcelona

And another: Spurs and Arsenal target David Villa was also on the scoresheet

Donor: Abidal with his cousin Gerard, his donor

At international level he was a World Cup runner-up in 2006 and won 61 caps for France.

He also won three Ligue 1 titles at Lyon.

At a press conference earlier this week he said: 'I'd have loved to have stayed here but I have to accept the club's decision (of not offering me a new a contract).

'My idea is to keep playing and I have not changed my mind, health permitting.

'It's a very difficult day for me.

"I'm told he now just disclaims that," Gingrich told NPR. "He now says it was cute, but he doesn't want to use it anymore."

The former House Speaker added that he believed Trump used the slogan as a campaign device to drum up excitement, similarly to how he had threatened to imprison his opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"I've noticed on a couple of fronts, like people chanting 'lock her up,' that he's in a different role now and maybe he feels that as president, as the next president of the United States, that he should be marginally more dignified than talking about alligators in swamps," Gingrich said.

image caption The bladderwort was found at the Curraghs in the north of the island

A carnivorous plant thought to have been extinct in the Isle of Man for more than 15 years has been discovered growing in the north of the island.

The Bladderworts plant, last recorded on the island in the 1998, was found in a pond in the Curraghs by a Manx Wildlife Trust officer on Monday.

The underwater plant uses a suction trap to gobble up passing prey in an instant, which it slowly digests.

A MWT spokesman said: "It is tremendously exciting."

The Manx Wildlife Trust's Wildflowers of Mann Project Manager, Andree Dubbeldam, said: "It is a species which has not been recorded in the Isle


of Man for more than 15 years it is a remarkable discovery."

'Flowering specimen'

The aquatic plant can survive in very nutrient poor pools by becoming carnivorous, feeding on small water fleas and other tiny water invertebrates.

Mr Dubbeldam added: "They capture their prey in small sacs (the bladders), where they are slowly digested and nutrients extracted. Because they are able to provide their own nutrients bladderworts survive entirely without roots".

There are four species of Bladderwort native to the British Isles, of which at least two have been native to the Isle of Man.

Mr Dubbeldam said without a flowering specimen it is not yet known whether the species is the common bladderwort or the greater bladderwort, which he believes is more likely.

The species went into decline on the Isle of ManCatalonia carnage: In one of the worst acts of jihadi terrorism since the Madrid bombings of 2004, a van crashed into a crowd in the Las Ramblas district of Barcelona, killing 13 people and wounding more than 80 on Thursday. The worrying factor is that it doesn't appear to be a "lone wolf", hit-and-run attack — there were two other incidents, north and south of Barcelona, prompting the police to think a wider cell must have been at work.

Police secure the area close to the scene after a white van jumped the sidewalk in the historic Las Ramblas district of Barcelona, Spain, crashing into a summer crowd of residents and tourists Thursday, Aug. 17, 2017. According to witnesses the white van swerved from side to side as it

Created as a tribute to visiting royalty, it quickly established a new standard of excellence among Canadian whiskies and remains one of Seagram's greatest sales stories.
The tradition of Crown Royal began in 1939 with the first Royal Tour of Canada by reigning British monarchs, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. To mark this historic occasion, Samuel Bronfman, President of the Seagram Company, decided to create a quality whisky to be packaged in a crown-shaped bottle and dressed in a royal purple bag. Like the packaging, the name chosen for the product was intended to reflect the quality of the


[Rare location of a hydatid cyst- in the upper mediastinum migrating into the spinal channel].
The authors report a rare and difficult case of hydatic cyst. The case was rare due to the location of the hydatic disease in the upper mediastinum and because of the onset of the disease with a complication: a spinal cord compression syndrome produced by the migration of the hydatic cyst into the spinal channel. The case was difficult because of the diagnostic problems--especially to establish the topography of the lesion and surgical management.When Ronald D. Moore rebooted the classic sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica, he threw out a lot of the cheesier elements and made the show a dark, political work of art. He also dropped the famed narrated coda that accompanied every episode. Or did he?

In the original 1970s series, each episode had a narrated bit that established the premise, as read by Lorne Greene (the original Adama). It was a little corny, but it was awesome. Moore chose to drop the tradition to give his series some breathing room from the original, but that didn’t stop some of the production team from convincing legendary actor Edward James Olmos (the new Adama) from recording the coda. Then, of course, they put it over some new CGI to match the look

Le1f, whose real name is Khalif Diouf, was raised in Hell’s Kitchen by his mother, who worked at Pan Am and as a travel agent. His Senegalese father was “kind of irrelevant,” he said. By his late teens, he was immersed in the city’s metastasizing underground dance-music scene. He went to Trouble & Bass parties and met genre-fusing artists like Spank Rock and Ninjasonik. It was an incubator for avant-garde designers like Shayne Oliver of Hood by Air, Luar Zepol and Telfar Clemens, at whose shows Le1f often sits front row.

Serena's saga started when she ordered one box of the Proactiv 3-Step System in May 2012 but was mistakenly charged for two. When she called the company to get a refund for the second order and cancel all further shipments, a customer service representative confirmed the cancellation and sent her an affidavit in the mail to sign and return for the refund, which she did.

But last month, after Serena had recently moved to Philadelphia, she saw a mysterious $50 charge on her bank statement. It turned out that, despite confirming her request on the phone, Proactiv had never actually canceled her account and instead placed it on a


six month hold: the $50 was for a new shipment which they had sent to her old apartment in San Francisco. A sales rep told Serena that Proactiv had never received her affidavit and therefore had not refunded her for the original erroneous order. They said they were unable to send her a new affidavit, but they could refund the most recent package if they got it back. When Serena explained how that would be difficult since she no longer lived in San Francisco, the rep said it was still Serena's responsibility to contact the new residents at her old address and have them return the Proactiv shipment themselves.

The package never arrived, Serena's account was still charged, and things devolved from there. Serena called again to cancel heraccount and demand her money back — this was getting ridiculous, especially because she was between jobs and really needed that money in her account —and was told to fill out a new affidavit to complete the cancellation process. Soon after, she received another $30 charge. She called again, and was told to fill out another affidavit. She asked to speak to a manager and was told someone would call her back within 72 hours; no one did. Finally, Serena canceled her debit card.

"Trying to stop them from funneling money out of my account has taken up time and energy that I don't have," Serena said. "Like many of their customers, I'm young and broke and inexperienced, and it's clear that they exploit that."

If that seems harsh, look at the differences in how the story plays out. The inciting event of the comics version involves a group of superheroes who are filming a reality show. They basically stage an encounter with a group of supervillains and fight them while nodding to the camera, until one of the supervillains goes supernova. The explosion kills 600 people, including many, gulp, school kids.

The resulting public backlash causes some heroes to publicly disclose their identities, others are assaulted by civilians, and it ultimately leads to a congressional act requiring superheroes to register withbe more thrilled to be shooting the show.”

Just as the millions of Dutch, who are currently watching the Olympics on their television sets, are cheering their own athletes, governments should be the cheerleaders of their own people. We need to bring the spirit of the Olympics to politics, the spirit of patriotism. The nation-state has the duty to positively discriminate in favor of its own people. It has to cheer them on, encourage them, be proud of them, as we now are of our athletes. And always will be. My country, the Netherlands, is doing extremely well in the 2018 Winter Olympics. It is great to see how the Dutch successes are reinforcing feelings of national pride and patriotism. Thank God for the Olympics! Cheering one's ownathletes over foreigners has nothing to do with discrimination, racism or jingoism. Sporting events are one of the few occasions where people can still unabashedly display feelings of national pride without being judged for it by the leftist cosmopolitan elites.

In his farewell address as president, Ronald Reagan said that one of the achievements he was most proud of was "the resurgence of national pride." Reagan called it "the new patriotism."

to successful athletes. It also links us to a heritage and a tradition. Our national flag symbolizes ancient loyalties embodying the legacy of our fathers, which we want to bestow on our children. The nation-state is one the greatest contributions of Western civilization to the world. It is the home of our democracy as well as the guarantor of our freedom. Adherence to the nation-state is also a moral duty. Our Judeo-Christian civilization is based on the values of Jerusalem, Athens and Rome. Jerusalem, where the love for the state of Israel was taught. Athens, where service to the democratic state was the highest good. And Rome, where honor depended on duty to the Republic. Islam is totally alien to this central idea of our Western civilization. ItWestern ideals. It is no coincidence that they originated in ancient Greece with its many states. Next week, the Dutch athletes from Pyeongchang will return home. Dozens of supporters will flock to Schiphol airport to prepare a warm welcome. They will wave the national tricolor and the entire nation will share their joy and glory. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is likely to honor them and receive them. And so he should! And yet, it is the same Mark Rutte, who, like his colleagues of the political elite in the European Union, is conducting policies which actively discriminate against his own people in favor of foreigners. In sports, he is cheering the Dutch over the foreigners, but in politics he is doing exactly the opposite. There are dozens

FG to spend N500bn on social welfare programme to cater for poor Nigerians in 2016

President Muhammadu Buhari in a proposal that was contained in the 2016-2018 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper, which he sent to the National Assembly on Tuesday, stated that he is proposing to spend N500bn on a social welfare program that will cater for the needs of youths and other “vulnerable” groups in 2016.

Buhari wrote a letter to Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, and another one to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, which were read to members in their respective chambers.

The social welfare programme would be executed in phases and it would also take care of the school feeding programme initiative as well asVece Paes back in Davis Cup fold

New Delhi: Despite being removed as the team doctor on the demand of Somdev Devvarman-led rebels, hockey Olympian Vece Paes was brought back in the Davis Cup fold on Saturday. Paes, whose son Leander Paes is one of the mainstays of the Indian Davis Cup squad, heads the sports medicine division of AITA. He will now play a critical role in selecting the next medical support staff for the Davis Cup squad.

AITA secretary-general Bharat Oza told reporters Saturday that Paes' experience is needed in the Davis Cup team. "We feel Dr.Paes should be behind the team. He is already looking after the sports medicine department of the AITA. He will now also give his inputs in selecting the medical staff for the


Davis Cup team," said Oza.

One of the most significant climbdown by the AITA during the rebellion was to agree to the players suggestion to have a new professional team management. Coach Nandan Bal, Paes and physio Sanjay Singh were removed while non-playing Davis Cup captain S.P.Misra was asked to continue.

I found the portion involving southpaw tells to be particularly interesting (look for the clip of Crisp stealing off of Brian Matus). Back to the transactional side of the game, here are a few assorted links:

Former Mariners and Reds outfielder Wladimir Balentien has turned into a star in Japan, where he is currently sitting three long balls back of the single-season record of 55 first reached by the legendary Sadaharu Oh back in 1964. With a slugging percentage north of .800, the 29-year-old might have drawn big league interest. Balentien, however, is in the first year of a three-year, $7.5MM deal with

In 2011 and 2012, both sites viewed him as an approximately 2.5 win player. Whatever his actual value, the Sox would presumably be able to get a reasonable return if they made De Aza available via trade.

The Angels are working towards a long-term deal with the city of Anaheim, reports Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times. The current proposal would allow the team to drop the appendage "of Anaheim" from its name, and and would see the Angels pay to renovate Angels Stadium in exchange for beneficial land lease and development rights surrounding the ballpark.improve student behavior through setting clear expectations, tracking behavior in real time through an iPad and implementing a rewards system.

Infectious diseases hit mankind from time to time on a large scale. In the mid-fourteenth century, the Black Death plague epidemic killed one-third of the population of Europe -- 34 million people. In 1563, up to half of the population of London died from the Bubonic plague. In 1918 the Spanish Flu pandemic killed, by different estimations, from 50 to 100 million people worldwide (Patterson and Pyle [@CR13_48]). An estimated 500 million people were infected. In 1957 the Asian Flu killed up to 4 million people. In 2003 a new highly infectious disease Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) spread rapidly around the world.

When you hear the story of a 2-year-old boy believed to be the youngest person in the world ever to have bariatric surgery , it's very easy to "point a judgmental finger," as one mom said to me.

"Wasn't there anything else the parents could do besides such a serious surgery at such a young age?" parents will ask.

But then you hear the story of now 18-year-old Maria Caprigno, who weighed 443 pounds when she was just


To her knowledge, at the time, she was one of the youngest people ever to have it.

It was an immensely difficult decision for her parents, who were both "morbidly obese," she said. Her dad, who also had bariatric surgery, still weighs over 400 pounds.

"My mom always said she was so nervous about putting me under this knife," said Caprigno, who said her mom had the lap-band procedure, which involves placing a device around the top of the stomach to control food intake, before she had hers.

In EEOC v. R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes, Inc. (decision available here), the EEOC alleged that a funeral home in Michigan wrongfully terminated its funeral director, who presented as male when first hired, after she notified the owner and operator of the funeral home by letter that she was transitioning to a transgender female, would be undergoing sex reassignment surgery while on vacation, and would be presenting as a woman upon her return. Notably, the funeral home enforced a dress-code policy under which male employees were required to wear a pants-suit with a necktie and female employees were required to wear a skirt-suit. It is undisputed that the former funeral director intended to comply with this policy and wear a


skirt-suit upon her return to work. Two weeks after receipt of her letter, however, the owner/operator fired the funeral director, stating, “This is not going to work out.”

The EEOC alleged that the funeral home’s termination of the funeral director on the basis of her transgender status and/or because she did not conform to the funeral home’s sex- or gender-based preferences, expectations, or stereotypes was unlawful under Title VII. Importantly, the EEOC further argued that the funeral home was required by Title VII to permit the funeral director to dress as a female in accordance with her gender identity.

In response, the funeral home invoked the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (“RFRA”), arguing that the EEOC was unlawfully enforcing Title VII in a manner that would force the funeral homeOn Monday night, a passenger boarded United Flight 1284 from Houston Intercontinental to New York – LaGuardia with a small dog inside a TSA-compliant carrier.

A witness wrote on Facebook that the passenger protested, but eventually complied. The dog then died sometime during the flight, according to The Points Guy.

President's son chosen as star PL candidate in Coleiro Preca district

Robert Abela, the son of former Labour deputy leader and President of the Republic George Abela, is to be Labour's 'star' candidate in the sixth district, which comprises Qormi, Siggiewi and Luqa.

Abela is being fielded as part of the party's strategy to scoop up votes from heavyweight Marie-Louise ColeiroPreca, who earlier last week announced she was not contesting the forthcoming general elections.

It was a week also dominated by news that Deborah Schembri, the 'apolitical' figurehead of the pro divorce movement, had accepted to run on a Labour ticket in the next general elections.

Robert Abela's wife Lydia is the executive secretary to the party's executive committee. A lawyer by profession, he leads the legal work at the Malta Environmentsummit on a remarkable ten efforts so far in Super Rugby. His battle with Aaron Smith continues to intrigue ahead of the World Cup while Augustine Pulu of the Chiefs is in excellent form.

Brock James: With Clermont trailing with just nine minutes left against Toulouse and in danger of seeing their season end in disappointment once more, it was fly-half James who stepped up to steer them home. The Australian playmaker has taken his fair share of criticism for folding under pressure, but he nailed a crucial penalty before driving Toulouse back into their own territory and slotting a drop goal that made the game safe.

Stade Français: There are so many individuals who deserve a mention after Friday's victory, from number eight Sergio Parisse and his basketball behind-the-back


pass, to flank Antoine Burban and his all-action performance, without forgetting a dominant front-row. Stade Français have waited six long years to get themselves back to the Top 14 play-offs, but they are making it count. On form they should go into the final as favourites.

Chris Masoe: On a difficult night for everyone involved, Masoe paid a fitting tribute to Jerry Collins, bleaching his hair blonde before putting in a fantastic showing, racking up more than 100 metres with ball in hand and tackling everything in sight. Not only that, he was always first on the scene when things started simmering, calming down his decidedly edgy teammates. It was an emotional day but that brought the best out of him.

Eben Etzebeth: What an effort from the all-action lockat Newlands. He was a carrying machine whilst putting in 14 tackles in a tasty game against the Lions, who had Jaco Kriel in strong form with ball in hand. The Stormers are now assured of top spot in the South African conference.

Someone fetch these guys a warm cuppa soup!

Whistling fans: Bakkies Botha will no doubt have taken some pleasure out of it, but it was still disappointing to hear him whistled off the field as he made way in what was to be his final-ever game. Love him or hate him, he's been a legend of the game and, as he put it, the real enforcer.

Danny Cipriani: The fly-half was reportedly arrested on suspicion of drink-driving at 5am on Monday, hours after starring for England with a


33-point showing in the thrashing of the Barbarians at Twickenham. This coming after Dylan Hartley's axing, it's not been a good week for England.

Wales U20: It's been an even worse week for the Welsh at the World Championship in Italy as they suffered a second straight defeat, following up the loss to France with a 30-16 negative to rivals England. That means their hopes of making the semi-finals are now gone ahead of facing Japan.

TMO in Melbourne: The Bulls can feel rightfully aggrieved after TMO Ian Smith got, what appeared to be a simple decision, wrong in their loss to the Rebels in Melbourne. Television replays showed, and even the Australian television commentators felt that Burger Odendaal got over for a deserved try but Smith ruled that theremotivation for their thankless heroic job.

Mitt Romney — who is said to be eyeing a bid for U.S. Senate from Utah — was treated last summer for prostate cancer, two sources close to the former presidential candidate told NBC News Monday.

Romney’s treatment, which involved surgery at the University of California-Irvine Medical Center, was successful, and he has a good prognosis, the sources said.

"Last year, Governor Mitt Romney was diagnosed with slow-growing prostate cancer," an aide to Romney told NBC News. "The cancer was removed surgically and found not to have spread beyond the prostate."

News of Romney's cancer treatment


was first reported by CNN.

Romney is said to be seriously considering running for the Senate seat being vacated by Utah Republican Orrin Hatch, who announced last week he would retire at the end of his term this year.

The former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate has a home in Utah and deep ties to the state, including through his Mormon faith.

In a short statement on Facebook he posted after Hatch's announcement, Romney thanked Hatch for his service but didn't mention whether he would run.

According a poll commissioned by The Salt Lake Tribune in October, nearly half of Utah residents — 44 percent — backed Romney to replace Hatch out of several potential candidates.

If he ran and won, Romney, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, could become a powerfulManchester City rebound to beat Tottenham at Wembley 3-1

Leaders Manchester City shrugged off a bitterly disappointing week to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at Wembley on Saturday and move to within three points of sealing the Premier League title.

City, who were deprived of wrapping up the title in dream fashion last weekend when they lost at home to Manchester United and were then knocked out of the Champions League by Liverpool on Tuesday, were two up after 25 minutes as they hit back with a vengeance.

Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring in the 22nd minute before Ilkay Gundogan slotted home a penalty three minutes later after Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris raced out of his goal and upended Raheem Sterling on the edge of the area.

Christian Eriksen's goal shortly before halftime


offered fourth-placed Tottenham a route back into the game but Sterling lashed home from close range in the 72nd minute.

City may well have to wait another week to start celebrating a third title in seven seasons although it could happen as soon as Sunday in the unlikely event of Manchester United losing at home to bottom club West Bromwich Albion.

Tottenham, who had gone 14 matches unbeaten in the league since losing 4-1 at City in December, are seven points above fifth-placed Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification.For the majority of the western audience, a film from India is usually related with Bollywood themes, musicals, romantic comedies and silly action films.

New Jersey's diversified economy supports a large legal ecosystem

New Jersey's diverse economy is reflected by its biggest law firms, which have grown with their clients and last year accounted for six of the 100 largest private companies in the state.

"Where there is a huge concentration of business and industrial firepower, one would certainly expect to see strong and vibrant law firms growing side by side with their clients," said Stephen Vajtay Jr., managing partner of McCarter & English, the largest law firm on the list, which ranks 41st among the top privately owned companies in New Jersey, with about $200 million in revenue.

Vajtay said New Jersey "remains an absolute and perhaps unparalleled hub of the pharmaceutical industry, in which we continue to play a major role both onthe products liability and intellectual property side." He said the state's substantial banking and real estate development sectors — and a vibrant startup culture funded by venture capital and private equity — also feed the business of law in New Jersey.

"New Jersey is a very strong market for the provision of legal services," said Patrick Dunican Jr., managing director of Newark-based Gibbons, which ranks 68th on the list, with revenue of $115 million.

Dunican said New Jersey has drawn a concentration of businesses — notably, pharmaceuticals, banking and health care — due in part to its location between New York and Philadelphia and a transportation network of highways, airports and seaports that connect New Jersey to the world.

"If the economy is strong, then the law firm business is strong,"


long history in Newark. According to Vajtay, Thomas McCarter founded the firm in Newton in 1844 and moved it five years later to Newark. Today, about half the firm's 400 lawyers are in Newark, and it has offices from Boston to Wilmington.

While McCarter is now a regional firm with a New Jersey concentration, "it always made sense to us to remain tied to New Jersey," he said. "And Newark is the hub for all the various pockets of development."

New Jersey, and Newark in particular, tend to be overshadowed by New York, but "we're beginning to see cities like Newark and New Brunswick and Trenton and Camden being rediscovered by businesses because of the extraordinarily favorable real estate values — and in some cases, tax incentives," Vajtay said. Hesaid Gov. Chris Christie "is trying mightily to make New Jersey a friendlier state from a tax standpoint for new and existing businesses, and that process is well underway."

LEPANTO, Ark. — Drive past the "Welcome to Lepanto" sign, beyond the shuttered storefronts of the main drag and through the stop sign that separates white from black in this small Delta town of less than 2,000 people. Pull into the graveled driveway and Malik Monk's grandfather will often be there in the front seat of a dented green pick-up truck held together by duct tape, talking to anyone who passes by while watching the latest crop of basketball players go at it in the park affectionately known as “The Woodz."

He quickly became an offensive force and a household name for the Wildcats, earning Southeastern Conference player of the year honors from the media after averaging 20 points per game during a freshman campaign that included a memorable 47-point outburst against North Carolina last December. By June, Monk is expected to be a lottery pick in the 2017 NBA draft.

But beneath that spotlight is a controversial legacy in his home state.

‘Escaping Lepanto’

Monk’s path to this point begins with his older half-brother, Marcus, the valedictorian at Lepanto’s East Poinsett High who eventually played football and basketball at Arkansas


and set a school record for touchdowns as a junior. Selected by the Chicago Bears in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL draft, Monk’s pro football career was derailed by a knee injury and he played two seasons of professional basketball in Germany.

Marcus returned to Arkansas in 2014 to complete his MBA, right as Malik, 12 years younger, was emerging as a top basketball recruit. Malik had always looked up to Marcus, hopeful that one day he could take the mantle as Lepanto’s greatest athlete from his older brother. Marcus, in turn, had always been a father figure for Malik and wanted him to get beyond the dynamics of Lepanto, where the poverty rate (34.4 percent, according to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data) is morehim.

But he's often been told his mouth does more than enough running for his body, and today he's trading stories with Sylvester Brown, a retired truck driver who happened to be biking down the street. The conversation bounces between topics both playful and portentous.

How Young could never dare Malik because "everything you'd dare him to do, he'd do it." How the pastor that just drove by keeps trying to convince Young to come to church. How Malik "couldn't throw the ball through a hula hoop" in Kentucky's NCAA tournament win over Northern Kentucky. How it "looked like his mind was somewhere else." How there are no women and no jobs around here. How Brown recently fixed Jackie Monk's fence and needs the money soon. How Young doesn't want


Dilantin-associated lymphadenopathy. Spectrum of histopathologic patterns.
The association of Dilantin (hydantoin) therapy and lymphadenopathy in the form of "pseudolymphoma" or malignant lymphoma has been reported primarily in the clinical literature in single case reports or small series, most of which contain very few pathologic details. We studied a series of 25 lymph node lesions collected at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology from 1965 to 1991 that were suspected to be related to intake of the antiseizure medication Dilantin. Each case had been coded by the Environmental and Toxicology Department according to the so-called "operational degrees of certainty," which gives the possibility that a pathologic change is the result of a drug. Of the 25 cases, six were coded as probable, 17 as possible, and two as coincidental.

A New Year’s Day Connection to Public Enemy #1

When Indiana-born John Dillinger — “public enemy # 1” (portrayed by Johnny Depp in the recently-released DVD, Public Enemies) — raided banks in the early 1930s, he carried all manner of weapons ranging from Thompson submachine-guns, to 12-gauge shotguns loaded with buckshot, to a pair of M1911 .45 automatic pistols. His men also were armed with Thompsons and much heavier BARs.

In more than one bank robbery, a well-dressed Dillinger — brandishing a sawed-off 12-gauge, double-barrel Parker shotgun with a modified stock — would leap over a counter as his heavily armed men raced with near military proficiency to predetermined positions inside the bank.

Once in control of the bank, the most notorious gangster in America (at that time) would proclaim tospecific system, Serendipity City meshes Sprawl, Urban Shadows, and Dungeon World, making its rules and setup totally unique.

Ghostpuncher Corps

Ghostpuncher Corps is a decidedly metal Dungeons & Dragons actual-play podcast that focuses on a modern-day bard, druid, and warlock who are tasked by Lucifer to wrangle up demons that have escaped from hell. The show has a similar feel to the hyperbolic graphic novel series Preacher, and draws on horror movie elements from both slasher classics and more recent comedies like Dale and Tucker vs. Evil or Cabin in the Woods. The podcast’s setting is the same as a webcomic of the same name (but featuring a different plot and different characters) for a visual aspect to the world-building.

bomBARDed

bomBARDed is an inventive take on the typical actual-play format. Instead


of just being friends playing a tabletop game, the group is made up of bandmates, and in each episode, the players have to write a song to use their bardic inspiration. To make things even more interesting and ridiculous, aspects of the song they have to write are determined by dice rolls. bomBARDed is pun-heavy in a way that’s as funny as it is groan-inducing, and the music jokes range from pretty accessible to nitty-gritty into music theory.

20 Sided Stories

20 Sided Stories is an actual-play podcast that casts its NPCs with voice actors and puts an emphasis on music and sound design — making the whole production that sound like an audio drama. It features several small arcs with different settings and systems, ranging from a post-apocalyptic Westerninformation-heavy and can be overwhelming, so The Dungeoncast breaks them down in a way that’s as entertaining as it is accessible. It’s a way to make planning a little easier, learn some great tips for running a game, and listen to fun conversations about the system.

Behold Her

Behold Her is an interview podcast focusing on women in the tabletop roleplaying game community. Interview guests range from an artist who sells hand-drawn character sheets and hand-crafted dice bags to some of the women on the Dungeons & Dragons team of Wizards of the Coast. The podcast is a combination of discussion on roleplaying games and the guests’ anecdotes from their own campaigns.

The Adventure Zone

Like Critical Role, The Adventure Zone is currently one of the most popular actual-play podcasts. Featuring Griffin


and Justin McElroy (both formerly of Polygon), their brother Travis McElroy, and their father Clint McElroy, what started off as a bonus episode of comedy podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me eventually became a profound story about hope and loss — while still maintaining its massive quantity of jokes. The first arc of the first campaign has been adapted into a best-selling graphic novel, and another is in the works for its second arc. The Adventure Zone is in its second campaign, and while the first used a fantasy-based setting and Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules, the second campaign is a contemporary adventure story in the vein of Supernatural or Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Evil Hat Production’s Monster of the Week system.

USA: ICE to offer Internet products trade off Colonial Pipeline.

03/28/2001

NEW YORK, March 28 (Reuters) - Internet-based IntercontinentalExchange (ICE)
plans to offer trading in U.S. refined products off the Colonial Pipeline in
the second quarter of this year, a company official said Wednesday.
The Houston-to-New York Colonial Pipeline is the largest refined products
pipeline in the United States, pumping a total of 2.35 million barrels per
day of gasoline, heating oil, diesel and jet fuel.
Refined oil prices for the nation's refining hub on the Gulf Coast are set by
trade into the pipeline.
ICE however would not elaborate on which products exactly it will trade.
"That's the plan, but we don't really have


think recent events in California and the possibility of additional
supply disruptions in other areas of the country highlight the need for
inter-regional coordination," said Marc Yacker, ELCON's director of
government and public affairs.
"We continue to hope that FERC will address this issue," Yacker said. "The
closer we get to larger, more liquid regional wholesale power markets, the
better off we'll be."
The issue arose as FERC Wednesday approved an RTO for Florida. Ordinarily,
FERC wouldn't approve a single-state RTO, but did given that the state is a
peninsula.
However, the Electric Power Supply Association, for which the bottleneck for
sales into Florida is a big concern, raised the "seams" petition in that
proceeding.
The commission also must confront the issue in hashing out an RTO forthe
U.S. Midwest. FERC has approved two different grid entities in the region,
the Alliance Regional Transmission Organization and the Midwest Independent
System Operator.
FERC has granted RTO status to the for-profit Alliance effort, in which
participating utilities aim to spin off their transmission assets to create
an independently traded transmission company.
Earlier this year, FERC issued an order establishing an administrative
proceeding designed to develop a merger agreement between the for-profit
Alliance and the nonprofit Midwest ISO.
The commission must act in the near future on an agreement struck in that
proceeding that would maintain the Alliance and Midwest ISO as two separate
entities, but operating under a single design for providing transmission
services across the two entities.

has potentially added between $100 million and $150 million a year in free
cash flow.
"With those two elements, Blockbuster becomes a significant cash cow and it
becomes perhaps less necessary to have Blockbuster separate," he added.
Indeed, in the last few months, Blockbuster has staged something of a
turnaround, rebounding to its current level of $13.98, up 5 percent, or 68
cents, in Wednesday's trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Earlier in 2000, Blockbuster announced severalcombination of

The Nigerian minister said in the generation sector, Kainji and Jebba, both
hydro power stations on the River Niger could be constituted into one
company.
"There is no reason why we cannot generate energy in huge quantum in this
country and sell the same in other countries in the West African sub-region,"
Agagu said.
"The essence of the new policy is to create a competitive market for
electricity supply in all the states of the federal republic of Nigeria.
"We are trying to move away from the inefficient public sector control
monopoly which NEPA is


towards a deregulated market where we have private

AOMORI, Japan, March 28 --
A unit of U.S. energy company Enron Corp. on Wednesday submitted to Aomori
Gov. Morio Kimura its plan for building a large thermal power plant in the
village of Rokkasho in the northern Japan prefecture.
Encom Corp. (Japan) President Carey Sloan visited the governor and presented
the 60-hectare project for a 2-million-kilowatt power plant to be fueled by
liquefied natural gas (LNG), according to the plan.
The New York-based affiliate of the Houston-based Enron for power business in
Japan plans to start constructing the facility in 2004 uponnecessary
administrative approvals and launch its operations in 2007.
Rokkasho is known as the site of the country's first full-scale nuclear waste
reprocessing plant. The facility run by Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd. is set to
start reprocessing in July 2005.
According to Encom's plan, the company now is waiting for a reply -- expected
around June -- from Tohoku Electric Power Co. in order to connect its
transmission lines to those of the local electric power monopoly.
Sloan said in a press conference he expects Tohoku Electric to give nod to
his company's bid to link the lines.
Kimura issued a statement saying he expects the plan to spur the national
project to develop the village's 5,300-hectare Mutsu-Ogawara area, where the
reprocessing plant is located, into an industrial

small independent generators, or qualifying facilities, for energy within 15
days of delivery.
The order directs the utilities to resume payments to QFs within 15 days of
end of billing period, Commissioner Carl Wood said. If they don't comply, the
utilities will suffer from penalties equal to the amount owed to the QFs, he
said.
Wood withdrew, on Monday, his idea for a fixed price payment of $79 per
megawatt hour.

It had been over two years since the death of her husband of 20 years; four, since she had lost her mother.

Now she was all by herself in a house secluded at the end of a long gravel driveway. At first, she just tiptoed around the many dating sites, window-shopping in this peculiar new marketplace. It wasn't until the fall that Amy was ready to dive in.

Later, when she puzzled over their relationship, she'd remember this. That had been a fateful move; it made everything easier for him. After the funeral,


a grief counselor told her to make no sudden changes in her life for at least a year, and she followed that advice.

This seemed to be one of the problems with online dating.

She resolved to be pickier, only contacting men who were closely matched — 90 percent or more, as determined by the algorithm pulling the strings behind her online search. Back in college, she'd studied computer science and psychology, and she considered herself pretty tech-savvy.

She filled out a questionnaire and carefully crafted her profile.

It would have been easy to burnish the truth, but she presented herself honestly, from her age (57) and hobbies ("dancing, rock collecting") to her financial status ("self sufficient").

A short message sent on a Thursday evening in early December 2013, underRoboticists have long turned to nature for inspiration, but their creations have generally been conspicuously un-lifelike. Now, breakthroughs in the design and manipulation of soft materials have allowed them to start replicating the remarkable abilities of some of nature’s squishier creations.

In 2004 the number of academic papers on soft robotics was close to zero, according to a new review of the field published in the inaugural edition of Science Robotics last week (Dec. 6). That figure has soared to close to 1,000 today, demonstrating the rapid advances in the field.

This has been driven by pioneering work between 2009 and 2012 that solved some of the fundamental challenges facing the field, such as actuation, sensing, modeling and control. By 2016 this had led to the world’s first completely soft

Princeton University receives state environmental award

by the Office of Communications

Jan. 29, 2013 1:11 p.m.

Princeton University has been recognized by the state of New Jersey for the University's ongoing sustainability efforts, in particular its work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy across campus.

The annual Governor's Environmental Excellence Awards, which were announced at a ceremony in Trenton on Jan. 28, recognize environmental, academic, business, science and civic leaders from across New Jersey for protecting and enhancing the state's environment. Princeton was one of 11 winners this year, taking honors in the clean air category.

The state recognized the University for a number of initiatives, including the installation of heat recovery technology in the University's cogeneration plant and the construction of a 5.3-megawatt solar collector field on 27 acresin nearby West Windsor Township. Also recognized were: Princeton's aggressive campus design standards for new buildings, which include sustainability guidelines and energy-savings targets; the reduction of the number of vehicles used to commute to campus; and the completion of a six-month audit to implement 170 energy-saving projects across campus.

In 2008, Princeton adopted a comprehensive Sustainability Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote energy conservation, and provide opportunities for research, education and civic engagement. The University's goal is to reduce campus emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, despite the increase in the number of buildings on campus.

The Governor's Environmental Excellence Awards are sponsored by the Office of Governor Chris Christie, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology and the New Jersey State League

A case of buccal abscess; originating from an ectopic accessory parotid gland?
We report a case of an abscess from an 'ectopic' accessory parotid gland in the cheek demonstrated by sialography and computed tomography (CT). The accessory parotid gland was ectopically located anterolateral to the masseter muscle and isolated from the main parotid gland. The orifice and ductal system of the ectopic accessory parotid gland were separated from those of Stensen's duct. The abscess developed from this ectopic accessory gland, and the main parotid gland was free of inflammation. Using sialography and CT, we confirmed the presence of this ectopic accessory gland.Gallery-Petra tou Romiou

Aphrodite's Rock (Aphrodite's Birthplace), or in greek; Petra tou Romiou, is located 25 km east of Paphos, 9km east of Kouklia, on the B6. You can get there by staying on the B6 and it is just of the main road and un-missable. You can also get close to it by approaching on the A6 Freeway (Motorway), exit the A6 Freeway at Kouklia and travel towards Limassol on the B6. There is a parking area and easy access to a long narrow pebbly beach, the rock itself can be climbed, the waters in the area are clear and clean.

Mythology claims that any person who swims around the rock will be blessed with eternal beauty. The rock is regarded as the birthplace of Aphrodite,


'Goddess of Love and Fertility', apparently she rose from foaming seawater, just after the God Cronus mutilated the God Uranus; by cutting of his testicles and then tossing them in to the water, which caused the foaming waters that Aphrodite emerged from.and the lights were on. Then the classic GNR double guns, circle logo (shown above) appeared on the screen behind the drum kit and the guns started shooting. The stadium went black and of all things to start playing...the Looney Tunes theme.

The guys hit the stage, the noise was deafening and that's when it hit me..this is gonna happen. GNR opened with "It's So Easy," followed with "Mr. Brownstone" and then "Chinese Democracy" which actually surprised me and it was the first of three Chinese Democracy album songs that were played that night. My surprise was not because "Chinese Democracy," "This I Love" and "Better" are bad songs, quite the opposite, however with Slash and Duff McKagan not being with GNR when that album was recorded I was


curious if they were going to play any of those tunes. I got my answer three songs in. Then "that" intro started playing, that guitar riff is universally recognized, the intro to "Welcome To The Jungle" and it was played flawlessly. I've never seen that many people excited and singing so loud.

Guns N' Roses played 25 songs, highlighted by their biggest hits and were phenomenal. The songs "You Could Be Mine," "Civil War," "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "November Rain" got the biggest reactions and "Nightrain" closed out the main set.

Slash and Duff were stellar as always and I have to make mention of guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Frank Ferrer (celebrating his tenth year with GNR) as they equally held down their parts and together the wholeband killed.

Then, there was Axl. The majority of what we hear about Axl Rose is on the negative side, he's late taking the stage, he'll leave the stage if he gets upset, he has issues with photographers but let's put that all to rest. Axl delivered a performance that was nothing short of incredible. He looked fit and his voice was very sharp with excellent range. His interaction with his fellow band mates was great to see and he truly looked like he was having a great time and to us as fans, that's what matters.

After a chant of "G...N...R," "G...N...R" the encore started. "Patience" opened and was followed by a cover of The Who's "The Seeker." The gold-standard of finale songs "Paradise City," of course, closed out

MEMORANDUM OPINION
BRIAN BARNETT DUFF, District Judge.
Petitioner Ann McLaughlin, in her capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Labor ("the Department"), brings this action against respondents Alan Bendersky and the Bendersky Professional Corporation (BPC).[1] She seeks to compel respondents to comply with a subpoena duces tecum issued to them by the Associate Director of Enforcement of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration ("the PWBA") pursuant to an investigation the PWBALast year, film maker Werner Herzog directed "Grizzly Man" which was one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. It was haunting, creepy, and left me with an unsettled stomach in the end. I left the theatre a little scared to move, it was that powerful. "The Wild Blue Yonder" is a story, but it works like a documentary to the point where you can't even tell the difference anymore. It is not for the faint of heart. In fact, there are only a select few that would find this film more than simply "a waste of time." People need to learn to observe sometimes, and to just let yourself be washed up by the visuals, the music, and the experience of the film, instead of complaining


about the lack of story, or the lack of any depth. "The Wild Blue Yonder" is a film that demands to be accepted, and it demands that you watch it and let yourself be pulled into the hypnotic trance that it has the power of pulling you into.

"The Wild Blue Yonder" is the story of a alien. We never hear his name, and he is credited only as The Alien. The Alien claims to be from Andromeda, or as his people refer to it, The Wild Blue Yonder. The Alien tells the story of the aliens journey here, one that took billions and billions of Earth years, but only a short amount of time for his. He describes how far it really takes, in a brilliant scene wherefather of two and grandfather of one. He was born in Indiana, graduated from the University of Illinois and has been a north Texan for two decades.

THE BACKLINE

Tottenham have conceded only nine league goals this season – jointly the third best tally in the division - and a significant element of that is down to the pairing of Toby Alderweireld and Vertonghen.

Between them, they have not missed a minute of Premier League football so far. Considering every other player in the squad has been taken off or rested
