West Asia politics

A time for peace in West Asia

Kanchan Gupta

West Asia peace conferences in the past have been big media events with every actor in this strange, never-ending passion play seeking to hog the limelight. From Camp David to Oslo to Tabah, via various other places including the Red Sea resort of Aqaba, the journey to a lasting peace and a final settlement has been extremely rough for both Israelis and Palestinians, with the Americans cheering from the sidelines and the Arabs slyly digging up the road for the vicarious pleasure of watching peace-makers stumble and fall. With media making a big show of earlier peace conferences and television reporters insisting, "History is being made inside those rooms you see behind me," when in reality


everybody was just being cussed and cross, great expectations would be generated among the people in a region that has known nothing but conflict for the past six decades. Those expectations would soon be swamped by bitterness and loathing of the other.Thankfully, the organisers of the Annapolis Conference were careful not to turn it into a media circus; US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has demonstrated that she is far smarter than her predecessors and is mindful of realities instead of possibilities. When she had embarked upon her mission to kickstart the stalled West Asia peace talks and thus gift the Bush Administration with a foreign policy success, perhaps she had hoped for something concrete to emerge from the Annapolis confabulations. She worked overtime to ratchet up theworking relationship between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, camping in Jerusalem and visiting Ramallah in the hope of getting the two leaders to agree on a joint statement listing the key areas of broad agreement.In the event, President George W Bush read out a statement of intent on behalf of Mr Olmert and Mr Abbas who have now agreed to fast forward the peace process for a final settlement by the end of next year. Mr Bush could yet go down in history as the American President who brokered real peace in West Asia and solved a riddle that had tested the intelligence of his predecessors and left them stumped for a solution. Of course, there is no guarantee that Israel and

Barros Luco

Barros Luco is a hot sandwich in Chile that includes beef and melted cheese in one of several types of bread. The sandwich is named after Chilean president Ramón Barros Luco, and was coined in the restaurant of the National Congress of Chile, where president Barros Luco always asked for this sandwich. Other sources point to Confitería Torres as the place where the sandwich was created.

The meat cuts used for this sandwich are the same that are used for the churrasco, another Chilean sandwich. Several varieties of bread are used in this sandwich: Pan de frica, pan amasado, marraqueta and sliced white bread are popular. The president's cousin, senator Barros Jarpa asked instead for sandwiches with ham and cheese, so these sandwiches started to be called BarrosFor baseball superstar Garrett Donovan, his contract with the New York Empire baseball team meant he’d finally have the means to secure a future for his family. He should focus on that…not on the sassy, beautiful Jessa Montgomery — or what she looks like naked. Getting involved with the daughter of the Empire’s owner would be career suicide. Jessa is a distraction he can’t afford.

Her father had warned her never to get involved with his athletes, so his request that she keep an eye on his new star player came straight out of left field. The last thing Jessa needs is another spoiled, egotistical ball player to deal with. But Garrett is none of those things. His no-nonsense attitude and smooth Southern charm make her blood burn and

Picturesque and ancient, Kaniv was once one of Kyivan Rus’ largest cities. At that time, it was an outpost used for diplomatic meetings between Old Russian tsars and ambassadors of militant tribes. Later, in the 18th century, it became a popular destination for elderly Cossacks, who wanted to live out their days on the banks of the great Dnieper River, and on the Chernecha Mountain, where, according to legend, a monastery stood in the past.

The mountain remains one of Kaniv’s most important places, attracting thousands of tourists to the city. But today, it is most famous for the fact that in 1861, it housed the great ambassador of Ukrainian culture – celebrated poet and painter Taras Shevchenko. He was so moved by the nature’s beauty that he wanted


to be buried there. After his death, the mountain was renamed Tarasova Mountain, and became a national cultural landmark.

The biggest monument to Taras Shevchenko stands above his tomb. A few steps away, you can visit a museum dedicated his life and work; behind it is a picturesque park. From Tarasova Mountain you can admire fantastic views of the Dnieper River – the same scenes that a century and a half ago inspired the poet.pledged delegates up for grabs for the two candidates, appear favorable to Sanders, with an African-American population of just 9.6 percent.

Indiana Latino voters also break in Sanders’ favor significantly, according to the Fox News poll. After Clinton won the Latino vote in New York last Tuesday, as well as in Florida and Texas, Sanders, who won that demographic in both Nevada and Illinois, holds a 19-point lead among Indiana Latino voters.

In California, where the 475 pledged delegates are the most of any state in the primary process — almost twice as many as in New York, the second most delegate-rich state — a new Fox News poll Friday shows Sanders only two points behind Clinton.

The last missile attack of the US is not a reaction to the recent developments in Idlib. They made special preparation for these missile attacks and they created an excuse with the images they served to the world media. Those images are the preparations of the media campaign, which they announced ‘by mistake’ the day before.

The desperate Erdoğan is intending once again to derive a task for himself from the situation. Erdoğan is the principal enemy of the Syrian people. He is the chief perpetrator of the massacres, child deaths, and all the agonies that the people of Syria suffered.

If Erdoğan believes that he will be able to delay his inevitable end thanks to this bloody adventure in Syria, he is wrong. The


administration was identified as trying to show its strength in front of the world by cutting the road to a negotiated solution in Syria that would end the war and stop the bloodbath.

The argument on the use of chemical weapons was used as pretex to implement aggressive policies without waiting for the investigation of the allegations. The statement accused US imperialism of trying to take a direct role in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and guide the extent of additional investment in terrorism to realize its interests. In order to achieve a democratic secular national state, not only in Syria, but in all countries of the region, the LCP called on all the left-wing, national and progressive forces in the Arab world and around the world to a broader condemnationof US aggression against Syria and solidarity with its people.

Promote a peaceful settlement, and not cringe aggression

7. 4. 2017

Communist Party is seriously concerned by information about a rocket attack on a US Army base Syrian military forces on the territory of Syria.

The attack is considered as a unilateral act of military aggression against a sovereign Member State of the UN and the violation of international law and which threatens peace and security in the region. Deepening destabilization of the whole region and the escalation of violence undermines had good prospects of peace settlement in Syria and create anti-terrorist coalition and end human suffering. Experience from Libya and Iraq demonstrate that this path leads nowhere.

We call upon the United States to immediately stop


the military aggression and restraint, renunciation of all other unilateral actions, promising a return to negotiations in Astana and seeking common solutions under the umbrella of the UN Security Council.

Peaceful settlement of the Syrian conflict is in the vital interest of the Czech Republic and across Europe. Communist Party refuses the servile support of US aggression, declared by the Prime Minister and Defense Minister.

"Absolutely criminal, provocative and undignified for a big country." G.A. Zyuganov commented

April 7th, 2017

Chief of CC of RFKP, G. A. Zyuganov commented in the press conference upon the US missile strike on the Syrian air base in Shairat the night before. He stated that the decision taken by Trump and his accomplices was absolutely criminal, provocative and undignified.

Zyuganov claimed in the press conference that neither Lavrov nor Putin knew anything about the impending missile strike of the United States on Syria. He ironically commented that the Russian military might be told: "Now our missiles will fly – get down! If you have time...”

RFKP leader interpreted the US strike as the sign of an expansion in the large-scale war already declared against


Russia. In this war, the missile strike on Syrian base meant another big step due to the fact that with this, Americans committed an act of direct aggression against a soverign country, which lacks any reasoning and violates international laws.

Making a comparison between the current situation in Russia and that in the Soviet times, Zyuganov commented that Russia and its allies are exposed to the imperialist barbarism and aggression because Russia is weak and in crisis; because its growing generation is frail, physically weak and not patriotic. The reason why the Soviet Union could intervene in Korea and squeeze out the Americans, he added, was that the country was brave and battle-worthy in those times.

COMMUNIST PARTY OF UKRAINE (KPU):

[EN]

The First Secretary of CC of Communist Party of Ukraine,Petr Simonenko stated on the US "tomahawk" strike in Syria that the US and ISIL are two sides of the same coin.

The full text of Simonenko’s statement is as follows:

April 7th, 2017

“Missile strikes by US aviation on the basis of government troops in Syria is a direct confession that terrorist organizations such as the Taliban in Afghanistan, Al-Qaida, Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria, ISIL and several others have been created with the direct participation of the White House and its satellites.

Therefore, the responsibility for all crimes committed by such terrorist organizations is entirely on those who created them and who finance them and supply them with the weapons, namely the US, NATO and others alike.

Today's night attack by the US Air Force on the base of government troops in


Syria should be viewed as direct aggression against the legitimate president and government; and as an attempt to unleash a large-scale war in the Middle East. The goal is to establish as many puppet dictatorships as possible around the world. For the same purpose, the US and NATO previously carried out direct military intervention in Libya, Iraq, bombed and disintegrated Yugoslavia, actively financed and still finance "color revolutions", such as in Georgia or Ukraine, where an oligarchic-Nazi regime was established, unleashing the Civil War in Donbas.

The Communist Party of Ukraine strongly condemns the aggressive policy pursued by the United States and calls upon all progressive forces of the world to act as a united front for the sake of preserving peace and preventing a nuclear war that atany time may turn into a horrifying reality from the insane statements of McCain and other "hawks", who once burnt children alive in Songmy.

STOP BOMBING SYRIA

Violating all the rules of international law and civilized practices, the United States has just savagely bombed, with dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles, the sovereign territory of the Syrian Arab Republic.

It is an act of a unilateral and irresponsible character that clearly falls within the concept of aggression.

It is evident that the incident of the use of chemical weapons has been prepared in detail to serve as a pretext for this brutal intervention, which follows the line of the previous ones in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, where in the case of the first of these mentioned countries, the arsenal


of lethal weapons that was used as an argument for the so-called Gulf Wars has not been found yet.

Washington, based on bipartisan agreement, was supporting terrorist groups such as the so-called Islamic State in Syria with the confessed goal of overthrowing President Bashar Al Assad and anticipating to destroy the infrastructure and institutions and make Syria suffer the same destiny as that of Libya: a country fractured and dominated by diverse armed groups that guarantee extraction of petroleum by corporations of the USA and Europe.

Having failed in that task following the cooperation agreement between Damascus and the Russian Federation, which inflicted severe blows to terrorism, direct US military intervention is now used, indicating to anyone who has doubts, the criminal and categorically imperialist nature of the government ofplace under the pretext of protecting civilians from weapons of mass destruction.

The hypocrisy of the war-mongering politicians and media is astounding. The United States has been bombing Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere daily, killing hundreds of civilians in Mosul, Iraq in one attack alone. Scores of families, including their children, were murdered by American bombs. The U.S. media has been virtually silent about this crime.

In March, the Pentagon carried out 70 bombings of Yemen, more than in all of 2016, and continues to provide the bombs and bombers for the genocidal Saudi-led war on that country.

Now, the U.S. government is bombing the secular government of Bashar al-Assad at the moment that the Syrian national army was defeating al-Qaeda, the so-called Islamic State and other terrorist armed organizations. The Syrian


government denies using chemical weapons. Instead of bombing first and asking questions later, shouldn’t there be an objective investigation into the facts?

Again, the U.S. government describes its war motives as humanitarian. Again, the U.S. government asserts that the targeted government possesses and has used weapons of mass destruction as the rationale for another bombing campaign.

At this point, every person in the United States should assume that the U.S. government, the Pentagon, and the CIA are lying when they seek to justify this new military aggression.

Let us not forget that the U.S. government insisted that it was required to go to war in Iraq to prevent the government of Saddam Hussein from using weapons of mass destruction. No such weapons existed in 2003. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died,tens of thousands of American troops suffered life-changing injuries or were killed, and the country of Iraq was fragmented, allowing ISIS to come into existence.

Trump’s military strikes against Syria pose a grave danger of escalating into a regional or even global confrontation. The Syrian government, in its battle against al-Qaeda, ISIS and other armed groups, has the support of Russia and Iran.

The ANSWER Coalition called on people and organizations to mobilize nationally coordinated protests Friday at 5:00 p.m. and throughout the weekend to demand an end to the U.S. war against Syria. These protests took place in cities across the country, including Washington, D.C., at the White House.

COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREECE (KKE):

The KKE denounces the USA’s attack against Syria

The KKE denounces the attack of the USA against Syria


with the use of missiles from American warships in the Mediterranean and expresses its solidarity with the much afflicted Syrian people.

The peoples know that the USA and its allies, which created criminal organizations like "Al Qaeda" and the "Islamic State", promote and utilize pretexts in order to justify the interventions and the imperialist wars in Syria, Iraq, in the wider region of the Middle East and North Africa, which is an arena of fierce antagonisms, with the peoples being the victims. They did the same in the past too.

The developments highlight the dangerous policy of the SYRIZA-ANEL government, which entangles the country deeper in the imperialist plans, providing among other things the military base of Suda and other military bases and infrastructure for the operations of the USA,is responsible. What is known is that the Pentagon has trained the terrorists in the use of sarin gas, and that the terrorists had stock-piled sarin gas in secret storage facilities that were bombed by government air strikes last week.

Trump’s rush to war suggests the truth is incidental – or inconvenient for the US administration, which has fought to overthrow the Assad government for years, using mercenaries and terrorists recruited and trained to do their dirty work from the most reactionary countries in the Middle East.

Now that the Syrian government is defeating the terrorists, including ISIS, Al’Nusra, and others, the US has no more proxy forces inside the country able to overthrow the government from within.

In fact the peace process was proceeding well at the international level, with


peace talks including the Assad government well underway, and the war against the terrorists nearly won. For the democratically elected Assad government, the prospects of a peaceful and negotiated political solution were at hand. They clearly had no interest in derailing the peace process.

Honest people must ask themselves, who benefits from the sarin gas deaths and the US airstrikes on Syria?

The answer, clearly, is the reactionary states in the region which have called for a no-fly zone and US military intervention to overthrow the Assad government, and a US President and Republican administration in deep trouble at home, unable to move legislation forward in the Congress, with very low public approval ratings and mass opposition growing, including inside the Republican caucuses. Not least, Trump is in trouble becauseon Iraq and on Libya, leaving thousands of civilians dead and those countries in ruins.

The US airstrikes have also escalated the frightening scenario of a direct military confrontation between the US and Russia on the territory of Syria. The world is now facing the horrific possibility of a confrontation between the two countries with the largest nuclear arsenals in the world.

The Canadian government must be the voice of reason, and the voice of peace and a political solution, not the weak-kneed echo of Donald Trump and his crimes against the Syrian people.

We call on the labour and democratic movements and all those peace-loving peoples across Canada to speak up and mobilize against the US airstrikes yesterday, and against any Canadian support for or involvement in this new US


war on Syria.

Canadians must make it clear in every possible way – in protests on the streets, in the media, in Parliament and on the Hill, that war is not an option. The only solution is a negotiated political solution, based in international law.

STATEMENT ON THE US ATTACK TO SYRIA

Santiago de Chile, April 7, 2017

The Communist Party of Chile expresses its categorical rejection to the attack made last night by the US military against an air base in the State of Syria.

US imperialism once again proclaims itself to be the tough-guy of the world and acts in reprisal against Syria, blaming thegovernment of that country - without any concrete evidence - for the bombardment with poisonous gases against a village controlled by opposition military forces. This situation reminds us of the false arguments about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which was used to justify the invasion of that country.

The military decision, unilaterally adopted by Trump, without consultation with the UN and even with its own Congress, endangers the world peace, irresponsibly challenging nuclear powers and showing how the US imperialism intends to develop its international policy by returning to the diplomacy of the arms and unrestrained military action.

Only the coordinated action of peoples in favor of peace and independence can stop it.

The Communist Party of Chile calls on to our Government to condemn the new


threatens world peace

The Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) expresses its vehement repudiation of the cowardly and vile aggression of the United States of America against the Syrian Arab Republic, which represents an attack on all the countries of the region, a very serious threat to world peace, which happens with the complicity of the European member states in NATO, as evidenced by the declarations of praise for the attack by the heads of the state of Germany, the United Kingdom and France.

Such aggression against a sovereign country has been perpetrated without any support from multilateral agencies, including the UN Security Council, representing a clear violation of international law, thus repeating cases such as the invasion of Iraq, when the United States also disregarded all norms governing civilized andmonarchies, have used this resource in a coordinated way with their sponsors precisely to justify this type of action of the Trump government.

The alleged use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government, as a pretext for aggression, reminds us once again of the Iraqi case and the famous "weapons of mass destruction" that Saddam Hussein would possess and which were never found, since they did not exist.

US aggression comes amid a series of victories by the Syrian Army and its allies against terrorist groups, the largest of them calling itself the "Islamic State." It will not be a coincidence that this group attacked one of the Syrian Army's defensive positions on the Homs-Palmira road at the same time as the Syrian base bombardment near this site.

In fact, in


the final analysis, the motive behind the US aggression is the attainment of the so-called "Great Middle East," a neocolonialist plan aimed at ensuring control of the immense energy resources of this region through installation of governments subject to the dictates of the powers of capitalism. This plan is seriously threatened by the Syrian resistance, with support from Russia and Iran.

Contrary to the subservient and lying corporate media, the US attack is a criminal act waged against a sovereign nation, which reinforces terrorist groups, threatens the entire Middle East, and brings insecurity to the world.

The PCdoB expresses its militant solidarity with the Syrian people, the government of Bashar al-Assad, and calls on all peace-loving forces to mobilize their efforts for absolute denunciation of the bellicose escalation of imperialism,which endangers the sovereignty of nations and world peace.

TUDEH PARTY OF IRAN (TPI):

Tudeh Party of Iran condemns missile attack on Syria

7 April 2017 On the morning of Friday 7 April 2017 - the day before which the meeting of the UN Security Council had ended without a vote on the proposed draft resolutions before it, to examine the details surrounding the use of chemical weapons in the conflict between the Syrian army and armed terrorists in the town of Khan Sheykhun - the United States began a military attack on Syria. The Tudeh Party of Iran believes that the aggressive military attack by the US on Syria,


under the pretext of responding to the suspicious yet indefensible chemical attack in Idlib – was contrary to all frameworks of international law.

This aggressive attack will not only will fail to extinguish the flames of the disastrous war that the Syrian people are caught in, but could lead to the expansion and spread of the tensions and military confrontations between Western governments with Russia and its allies in Syria and the region. All progressive and humanitarian forces in the world, in condemning this blatant military aggression of the United States are rightly concerned that it further inflames a war the consequences of which already include the destruction of Syria and its territorial integrity as well as a disaster of monstrous proportions inflicted upon its people.

There are signs thatbefore committing this provocative military aggression the US had undertaken certain specific coordination with governments in the region (Middle East) in respect of its plans. Theresa May, the Prime Minister of Britain, who over recent months has been coordinating her governments foreign policy with Washington, has fully and explicitly supported the Trump government's action to wage military attack against Syria. Theresa May had also toured the Persian Gulf countries over the few days [prior to the US military action] and had consulted the leaders of these countries about the developments in the region. King Abdullah of Jordan was also the official guest of Donald Trump in recent days and undoubtedly had been made aware of his host’s intentions. Turkey and Saudi Arabia have stated their full and open


support for the US military action against Syria.

In a report earlier today, AFP [France’s Press Agency] quoted Ahmad Ramadan, a spokesman for the "Coalition of the Syrian Opposition”, as having stated: "The Syrian coalition welcomes the air attack and calls on Washington to undermine the power and capabilities of Bashar al-Assad through further air strikes.”

Some political figures in America have suggested that the missile attack ordered by the Trump government actually signals a new stage in US foreign policy with regard to Syria and is the start of fresh efforts by the US aimed at “regime change” in the country. The Government of the Russian Federation has condemned the provocative US military attack on Syria and considers it an attack against an independent state and member of theUnited Nations, and has called for an emergency session of the UN Security Council to address this violation. In this regard, the Russian government has announced that it will be terminating the voluntary arrangement with the United States concerning the coordination of military and civilian aircrafts flying in Syrian airspace that has been in effect in recent years. Russia has also announced that it will increase its future cooperation with the Syrian government regarding the bolstering of the country's air defence systems.

The Tudeh Party of Iran considers the military attack by the US on the Syrian air base [Shayrat] to be highly irresponsible, warmongering and contrary to the requirements of world peace, and condemns it accordingly. America's missile attack on Syria, a sovereign state, is a clear violation


has deteriorated in recent years. Since his permanent move to Everton, he has one in six against Saturday's opponents Liverpool and his return against other top-six opponents in that period is even worse.

Lukaku's goalscoring record against the biggest clubs needs to improve

Lukaku has scored five goals in 35 games against the top six since that 2014/15 season. It is a one-in-seven record largely explained by a 15-game streak lasting 17 months in which he failed to find the net once against the strongest sides in the Premier League. It was an issue that was widely reported at the time, but perhaps some context is required.

Lukaku has been playing for Everton not Manchester United. Any striker would be expected to score more regularly against weaker opposition than against thestrongest. That situation is exacerbated when part of a team that has not won a Merseyside derby at Anfield this century and not won one anywhere since Lukaku's Anderlecht days.

On the other hand, this disadvantage has not stopped Bournemouth's Josh King matching Lukaku's total in a fraction of the games. Leicester's Jamie Vardy has already scored against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool this season alone. In the same period in which Lukaku has found the net five times against the top six, Vardy has 19 goals against those opponents.

Jose Mourinho on why he cannot rest Lukaku until Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns Jose Mourinho on why he cannot rest Lukaku until Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns

It is a contrast partly explained by Vardy's peculiar characteristics. It suits him to play against teams who


dominate the ball because he can use his pace to expose their high line on the counter-attack. Perhaps Lukaku prefers it when the openings come closer to the opponents' goal with bodies up in support. Even so, it is enough to raise concerns.

"He is incredibly talented and I have seen him destroy defences," Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United favourite Gary Neville noted on Twitter in the summer before adding the caveat. "He went missing in too many matches I saw but with a better team and players around him he has an improved chance to deliver in big matches."

There have been chances in those games. Lukaku's five goals came from 78 shots in 3111 minutes. But he can expect more opportunities at United. "I knew thathe would score more goals for us than for Everton or West Bromwich Albion," claimed Jose Mourinho recently. "That's logic. But I wasn't expecting him to be, match after match, putting the ball in the net."

Lukaku has scored seven in seven for United. In a sense, this is the flip side of his struggles against the top teams. During the period in which he scored five in 35 against the big six, he also scored 48 times in his 75 games against the other teams in the Premier League. So far it has been enough to ensure that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not been missed at Old Trafford.

But there is still that nagging doubt; the knowledge that Ibrahimovic delivered for Manchester United when it mattered. Twice he went to


Wembley last season - in the Community Shield against Leicester and in the EFL Cup against Southampton - and twice the veteran striker came up with the late winner to secure the trophy for United.

Ibrahimovic was also the last man to score for the club against Liverpool - getting a late equaliser at Old Trafford in January. The six-pointers will have added significance this season as Mourinho's men chase the title. Lukaku has already shown how important he can be in beating the rest. The final challenge of doing it against the best now awaits."It is a very old story." "Years ago, king Vibhuti Narayan." "Meaning, your Siddharth's ancestors.." "..he used to rule here."

NEW YORK (Pajhwok): India has announced to take up 116 “high impact community developmental projects” in 31 provinces. It has also offered assistance for six new projects in Afghanistan, a spokesperson of the India’s External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj, has said.

A decision in this regard was taken during the meeting of President Ashraf Ghani with Swaraj on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session here.

“India and Afghanistan agreed to take up 116 high impact community development projects to be implemented in 31 provinces of Afghanistan,” the External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson, Raveesh Kumar, told reporters at a news conference here on Wednesday.

“Over and above these high impact projects, India has also offered assistance for six new projects under


granting aid assistance from India. One of them low cost housing for returning Afghan refugees, road connectivity, national Park and economic development,” Kumar said.

In their meeting, Kumar said Swaraj and Ghani discussed the new “development partnership,” between the two countries, which was decided was during the visit of the Afghan foreign minister to India earlier this.

The two leaders also discussed aspect of peace and reconciliation process.

The move comes weeks after the US President Donald Trump pushed for greater developmental role for India in Afghanistan. Pakistan has opposed any such role for India.

The visiting Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbas told a New York audience that Pakistan sees "zero" political or military role for India in Afghanistan.

“We don't foresee any political or military role for India in Afghanistan. Iwhen Margaret Thatcher ended the party's commitment to Scottish devolution, only to become a staunch defendant when he entered her Cabinet, a decade later, as Secretary of State for Scotland.

But pragmatism is hardly the whole story. During his 17 years in government Rifkind has been renowned as much for digging in under duress as for giving in. In her memoirs, Lady Thatcher described him as "erratic", "unpredictable" and "childish". He quarrelled, too, with John Major, over the way in which British Rail should be privatised. He has considered quitting the Government at least once. Indeed, old Treasury hands will tell you that Rifkind resignation threats used to come around as regularly as the seasons - in the first week of October as the public spending negotiations were reaching


their climax. But somehow Rifkind, at 50, is still there, and being talked of as a possible future leader.

RIFKIND comes from a family of Jewish emigres, who left Lithuania for Edinburgh to escape the late-19th century pogroms. Though his father, Elijah, grew up in some hardship in a family of 10, Malcolm himself enjoyed a comfortable upbringing and went to the grant- aided George Watson's College.

When he started at Edinburgh University, he was a Liberal supporter but, before the end of his law degree course, he had switched to Conservatism. There were no damascene visions: the Liberals were nice people but too dull. Not that Rifkind himself, who still has the gangling appearance of the school swot, was exactly a Sixties swinger. He was, said one university friend,"more likely to be poring over the life of Palmerston than going to pop concerts".

After graduating, Rifkind took an MSc in political science and taught the subject at University College of Rhodesia. This was when Ian Smith's white supremacist regime had declared UDI but, according to one of his students, Rifkind pitched his lectures just right. "He had the ability not to cause offence to the white right, although they knew he did not agree with them. At the same time he was popular with the black students." In Salisbury, the capital, Rifkind met Edith Steinberg, a Lancashire-born zoologist. They married in 1970 and have a son and a daughter.

Rifkind's political ascent on his return from Rhodesia was rapid - election to Edinburgh City Council in 1970; an


unsuccessful parliamentary candidacy at Edinburgh Central in the same year (when he qualified as an advocate); election for Edinburgh Pentlands in 1974. At 28, he was an MP. Before his 31st birthday, he already had a front-bench position and a resignation from it behind him. He quoted Lord Salisbury: resignation, like adultery, is most difficult the first time.

He was thought to be on the liberal wing of the party. But his attitude was best illustrated by his answer to a question about what the Tory party would be like in 10 years' time: "In power." Then, as now, his views were a curious, unideological mixture. He favoured judicial corporal punishment, arguing that "a short, sharp beating" was better than "locking people up in confined spaces". Scotland, in particular,he said, imprisoned too many people and he wanted more probation and community service orders, as well as beatings, as an alternative.

In 1979, when the Conservatives returned to power, Rifkind went straight into government as Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Scotland. Later, he moved to the Foreign Office. There was no doubting his ambition. Offered responsibility for passports and consular services, he insisted that he wanted "a bit of the world". He got eastern Europe. By 1984, when Thatcher was demanding "our money" back from Brussels, Rifkind was the man agreeing the fine detail in the ante-chambers of the Fontainebleau summit. Two years later, he was Secretary of State for Scotland and the youngest member of the Cabinet.

He pushed through Thatcherite policies: the poll tax (of which he was an


architect) and privatisation of the Scottish Housing Agency, electricity and buses. It was not enough for the fiercer spirits in Scottish Conservatism. When the prime minister appointed one of Rifkind's own junior ministers, the very right-wing Michael Forsyth, as chairman of the Scottish Conservative Party, it provoked months of internecine warfare. For a time, it seemed that Rifkind was finished. On the second day of the 1990 Scottish party conference, the minister awoke to headlines of an imminent Forsyth putsch. At noon, Rifkind rose to speak: "It's 12 o'clock and I'm still here," he said, to warm applause.

If Forsyth had the ideological high road, Rifkind took an effective political low road. He was backed by his junior ministers and by the bulk of the party. Thatcher had tokeep him. Forsyth stood down as party chairman.

Thatcher's downfall was no cause of sorrow to Rifkind, who is said to have considered standing in the leadership election. Under Major, he became Secretary of State for Transport, then Defence and, finally, Foreign Secretary. The Eurosceptics didn't want him in that position but, once again, Rifkind had prevailed.

THAT he did so is a tribute to his powers of intellect and his political skills. Rifkind's ability to deliver detailed speeches with no more than a few notes is legendary - when the autocue became available at Tory party conferences the joke was that the only way for Malcolm to show off his brilliance now was to perform blindfold.

One ex-whip describes him as "one of the few people you can sit behind


at the dispatch box knowing there is no danger of being hit by enemy fire". Clever, organised, conscientious, Rifkind shocked civil servants on his first day at the Department of Transport by arriving at the office an hour before them. Even enemies describe him as one of the most accomplished performers of his generation.

But they are less flattering about his core of beliefs, which remain obscure. His instincts remain those of a well-read, intellectual Edinburgh internationalist. Indeed, some would say he has never really left the city of his birth - he returns there whenever possible. At a lunch last year, it was put to the minister that he had always been a nationalist with a small "n". One of his closest supporters quickly chipped in: "And aConservative with a small 'c'."

Yet his views on the great economic issues such as taxation and the welfare state are something of a mystery. Even on Europe he made few speeches in his Scottish Office years. Parliamentary chums are largely drawn from the left (Douglas Hurd or Michael Ancram for example) but he has a close and puzzling friendship with David Hart, the ultra right-wing cheer-leader for Michael Portillo. The Rifkinds have frequently visited Mr Hart's Scottish hunting lodge.

A lawyer at heart, Rifkind seems to be guided more by the intellectual coherence of an argument than by a set of clear first principles. As one ally put it: "Not only is he clever but he knows he's clever. Once he is convinced he's right he will prosecute that


to inviting selected backbenchers for long, ruminatory meetings. Some sceptics have been dined and impressed.

The Foreign Secretary's ambitions face several hurdles: a marginal seat which could fall at the election, his Jewishness (which, whatever MPs say publicly, is still important in the Tory party), and a lack of a natural party following.

Most of all, the beef crisis, and the way the tough tactics have backfired, has harmed him. Critics point to the "Kenneth Baker syndrome" whereby a left-winger who moves rightwards angers his old friends and remains distrusted by the right. But Rifkind has faced down Thatcher and got every job he wanted.

Utah Jazz: Alec Burks is a finishing product

New York • Alec Burks rattled off the names on his short list: "James Harden. Probably Tyreke Evans. Obviously LeBron."

When it comes to the art of racing toward the basket, colliding with much-larger human beings, and still finding a way to contort your body while somehow spinning a basketball in such a manner that it will find its way into a hoop, Burks says, none in the NBA arebetter.

Although the Utah Jazz reserve guard might add one more name.

"I think I'm there right now," he said. "I think the way I finish around the rim, it's up there with the best in the league."

In his three seasons in the NBA, moxie has never been Burks' problem  and it shows in his fearless drives to the hoop and his jaw-dropping finishes.

It's a skill set that's been on display throughout the year, although never more consistently than of late. On a Jazz team struggling to find its way through the final stretch of a rebuilding year, Burks has provided the highlight reel.

"When we drafted him, we saw what he could do," Phoenix suns coach and former Jazz assistant Jeff Hornacek said. "He's got a unique ability to


is what has caught his teammates' attentions.

"His finishes are a lot more dramatic than those other guys," forward Marvin Williams said with a laugh after being told who was on Burks' list. "But he finds a way to do it. He's really crafty about getting to the basket and when he does, he's so big and strong. I think people underestimate his strength. ... He's definitely a top-10 finisher in the league."

That hasn't always been his forte. It's something Burks said he honed over his two years at Colorado. And his ability to work has Burks believing he'll be able to fine tune other parts of his game, too.

"I've really dedicated myself to the game this year," he said. "Just learning how to work, learning who to work847 total incidents tagged with Weapon Involved

The mother of a 12 year old victim called to report that her son was robbed at gunpoint, about 20 minutes earlier.

regulatory scrutiny on all the activities of the payments companies if they continued their participation in Libra.

A series of high-profile departures didn’t stop the Libra Association from moving on to formalize its governance structure. On Oct. 15, after holding its inaugural meeting in Geneva, the remaining 21 members assembled the Libra Association Council, along with a five-member board.

In the accompanying press release, the Libra Association stressed that “over 1,500 entities have indicated interest in joining the Libra project effort, and approximately 180 entities have met the preliminary membership criteria,” suggesting that there are no irreplaceable members. Indeed, on the following day, Marcus confirmed that Libra is “absolutely not” in jeopardy after seven high-profile members left the group.

have chosen different approaches to the John and Abigail relationship. The musical and movie “1776” went the cereberal route, depicting the relationship through the letters they famously exchanged (inevitable, perhaps, given that the story takes place while they were separated) with an emphasis on how these two equally sharp minds fenced and parried with each other.

The HBO production, by contrast, periodically references Abigail’s intellectual impact on John, but focuses on two other aspects of their relationship. The first – and here is the overlap with the strictly political story – is the way she effectively tempered John’s fatal political weaknesses. When John and Abigail are living together, his ego is kept in check. She persuades him to minimize the rhetorical excesses of his defense speech in the Bostonknown, his other children lived broken lives, his son Charles dying of drink and his daughter marrying a man with a tendency to lose money on speculation, and who ends up having to flee his bad repuation by moving west and starting over while his wife and children remain behind.

The third – and perhaps fourth, depending on how you count – story concerns the friendship and rivalry of Adams, Jefferson and Franklin. Here is where the series really shines; we see how these three very different men – Adams the blunt man of law, piety, and conservatism; Jefferson the quiet man of philosophy, romance, and radicalism; and Franklin the wry man of science, humor, and sensuality – at first become brothers bound by a common cause, and are


over France became politically critical, and ultimately permit his retainers to print scandalous lies about Adams in order to secure his election in 1800. I have always preferred Adams over Jefferson, even before it was cool, but it must be said that this storyline, while it works as drama, is unfair to Jefferson. It is clear in the record that he recovered emotionally from his wife and daughter’s deaths, as his famous “dialogue between my head and my heart” love letter to a French lady shows pretty clearly.

The case against Jefferson was much more effectively made in the David McCullough book on which the HBO series is based. McCullough tells us that when Jefferson was born, he was placed on a pillow and carried out of the roomby a generating device located separately from the front wheel, such as inside the frame of the motorcycle.
The negative effects that wheel motors present to motorcycles can be partially mitigated in electric or hybrid cars. Typically, cars steer by using the two front wheels, giving more steering stability than the one-wheel steering found on motorcycles. Cars do not have to lean during cornering and being larger, weight is not as much of a concern for cars as it is for motorcycles, which rely on being nimble for safe handling especially during cornering on windy roads. During braking, cars spread the traction and heat rejection work over four wheels, and the rear wheels of a car typically handle more braking effort than does the rear wheel of a motorcycle.


also endeavors to race their motorcycles in various events around the world. KTM has substantial engineering and financial resources. KTM reported using a rear wheel KERS system in the 2008 Valencia Grand Prix race on a 125 cc two-stroke motorcycle that generated an additional 2.68 horsepower and was subsequently banned by race organizers.
Unfortunately, the limited battery capacities available in the current state of the art combined with the industry's failure to recognize or employ the front wheel as a source of significant recharging energy, has combined to relegate the fledgling electric motorcycle industry to novelty status with an uncertain future due to limited vehicle range and performance.
Accordingly, there is an urgent need for a regenerative braking system that can capture significant energy from the front wheel of alinks

On November 18, 1968, the State filed its Motion to Nolle Count Two; said motion reads as follows:
"Comes now, NOBLE R. PEARCY, Prosecuting Attorney for the 19th Judicial Circuit, and moves the Court to enter a nolle prosequi to the indictment or affidavit in the cause of the State of Indiana vs. NATHANIEL JONES & FRANKIE J. WOODS for the following reasons, to-wit: the state is proceeding in a Jury Trial against the defendants on Count I."
*59 Thereafter, the appellant was ordered released as to Count II of the affidavit.
Trial byit appears that shortly before noon on March 7, 1968, two armed men entered a grocery store at 2001 Bellefontaine, City of Indianapolis, owned and operated by Lou Goldstein. At this time Goldstein and two employees, C.W. Dorsey and Sylvester Barner, were present in the store. The two men grabbed Goldstein and took him to the rear of the store where Dorsey and Barner were standing. The smaller hold-up man forced the two employees to lie down while the larger hold-up man accompanied Goldstein to the front of the store where the cash register was located. Goldstein emptied out all the cash from the cash register, and the hold-up man took the money. The latter then ransacked other drawers under the counter and took a bag of coins,


high rate of speed. Hendrickson gave chase, observed the car come to an abrupt stop, and then saw two individuals run from the car in opposite directions, one carrying a coat. These men were wearing dark trousers and bright green shirts.
After broadcasting a description of these men, Hendrickson walked up to the abandoned car and observed a gun, a pair of sunglasses, and a green hat therein. He then checked the car's registration and determined that it belonged to the appellant. Officer Hendrickson positively identified the appellant and Frankie J. Woods as the two men he saw "bail out" of the car.
At approximately 12:00 noon Officer Kenneth Everton observed a man wearing a green shirt in the 2100 block of North Tacoma. As he started to question him,the man dropped the clothing he was carrying and ran. Everton gave chase on foot but lost sight of the man. He returned to where the clothing had been dropped and found two coats, one black and one blueish grey, containing $48 and a .22 caliber gas pistol. Goldstein testified that this pistol, State's Exhibit #1, was very similar to the one stolen from him during the robbery of his grocery store. Everton positively identified Frankie J. Woods as the man he attempted to question.
Forty minutes later, Officer Marcus Toney observed the appellant and Woods walking in the vicinity of 2300 Fernway. They were dressed in dark trousers and white T-shirts. Toney, believing the men to be the same men described in the broadcasts, arrested them on a


other drawers, checking to see what there was. He got whatever was in the register and there was a bag of coins wrapped in the bottom drawer which he took, and also directed me to empty all the cash out from the cash register which he took, and he then proceeded to rummage around down below where we kept the Money Order blanks and the Money Order receipts which we write there and he put that in his pocket and he looked around further, around there in the back end and then he took me back toward the back end where the other employees were and had me lay down on the floor also.
Q. Approximately how much money was taken?
A. As far as we could ascertain there wasnot have financial woes in the retirement years. If one invests an appropriate amount as per the financial plan in MFs when he/she has a regular income, Reverse mortgage can be set up during the retirement years for regular income.

Taliesin, the summer home and studio of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is a prime example of late-19th- and early-20th-century Prairie School style. The rolling hills of southwestern Wisconsin guided the positioning and form of the building, whose design invokes a sense of harmony between the man-made and the natural worlds. Wright, who championed such organic architecture, devised many of his most famous works, including Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum, at this Spring Green, Wisconsin, estate.

The gardens are undergoing restorations.

Set on 800 acres, Taliesin has plenty of room for nature. Today, the site, which functions as a museum and seasonal site for the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, maintains its original gardens, which were central to the Wright’s design. But with the passing of time, they have inevitablycould not be reached for comment.

The animal's origins remain a mystery.

Some 200 police, military officers and others are still searching for it. A helicopter buzzed over woods east of Paris and a dozen police vehicles lined a grassy area where the feline was spotted early Friday.

"He was also seen by truck drivers on the road," Montevrain Mayor Christian Robache said.

Police officers guarded a school Friday morning as children arrived for class in Montevrain, the French town where the animal was first seen near a parking lot Thursday.

Tracks were spotted Friday morning near the A4 highway between the towns of Bussy-Saint-Georges and Ferrieres-en-Brie.

The regional administration asked drivers to take "the greatest precautions" on the highway, a major artery between Paris and eastern France.

Authorities warned nearby residents


to stay in cars instead of walking on foot – and especially to avoid walks in the woods. A Total gas station near the sighting was briefly closed.

Both sites where the animal or its tracks were seen are about 10 kilometres from Disneyland Paris, one of Europe's top tourist destinations. The operator of the theme park says it isn't taking any special precautions because the loose animal isn't deemed a threat. Disneyland Paris is surrounded by high walls to keep out intruders.

A wild cat animal park in the region, the Parc des Felins, said none of its cats is missing.

Some tweets suggested that the tracks belonged to a big dog, not a cat, but the head of the Paris regional Wolfcatcher Society, Robert Picaud, insisted the tracks couldContents

With the opening shots of the Reunification War, the Star League reached an agreement with ArchonViola Steiner in 2577 to construct a factory jointly shared by both parties to ensure proper resupply of 'Mechs during the Periphery campaigns. To protect the factories from assault or sabotage, workers spent ten years hollowing out one of the Myoo Mountains of the South Whitman continent with the factories built inside.

With the fall of the Star League, control of Defiance Industries passed to House Steiner, who assigned control to the Brewer family who have ensured its prodigious production rate continues even with the technological decline of the Succession Wars and repeated attacks to knock it out. So important to Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces and the Lyran nation nearly 14 attempts by other


Successor States have been launched to capture or destroy it have been launched. To date the factory has only been wrested from Lyran hands once, falling to the concentrated efforts of the Word of Blake during the Jihad.

The Furillo facilities however are much less storied. Formerly the Tolsand WarWorks, Defiance acquired the aging plant in 2992 and poured considerable funds into upgrading and updating the factory. Located near the city of Snohomish Springs in the shadow of the Mont Vert on the Dereka continent, the Furillo assembly lines are primarily configured to construct Light and Medium designs, leaving it overshadowed by the Hesperus II factories in the eyes of notoriously heavy LCAF forces, at least until the Blakist's Jhiad made it the temporary headquarters of the corporation.

The company'snewest and most secretive production facility is its manufacturing annex on Kwangjong-ni. A former Rim Worlds Republic factory located underwater in the world's massive Lost Sea, Defiance spent considerable sums to locate and refurbish it to function. Acting as a production site for the company's R&D efforts, the Kwangjong-ni plant had three easily reconfigurable production lines which reached full production capacity during the Jihad. To protect it from both attack and prying eyes, the plant's actual location is kept top secret, large cargo subs carrying needed parts in and finished designs out the only method of reaching it, the sub's home port heavily defended by the planet's militia.

In 3012 the Hesperus II facility was the only manufacturer to build the awesome Atlas BattleMech at this time.[1] In


of the Skye Province of the Lyran Alliance to the Republic, Hesperus II was incorporated into the Bolan Province of the Alliance. This was quite a boom for the Province, despite the damage the mammoth Defiance Industries plant had taken. By 3085 the Hesperus II plant had at least fifteen different BattleMech production lines running alongside a dozen Combat Vehicle lines and a smaller number of battle armor and DropShip lines. Despite the drop in production compared with that of the mid-3070s, the Hesperus plant was the most productive defense manufacturing site known to exist; however, it had been discovered that the damage suffered during the Jihad was more extensive than had originally been believed, and as a result it was predicted that it would take until theDelić

An eclectic cast of cyclists – from London's mayor, Boris Johnson, to race organisers and Olympic champions – have hailed this weekend's RideLondon event in the capital as an important staging post in Britain's transition to a cycling nation.

The event, which takes place over two days and climaxes on Sunday with the London-Surrey Classic 140-mile elite race featuring Team Sky and other professional riders and a 100-mile mass participation ride for 20,000 people, has been described as "the London marathon on wheels".

Both the elite and the mass participation events will start in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, close to the velodrome where Britain's riders delivered unprecedented success a year ago, and loop out into Surrey before finishing on the Mall.

Organisers believe the ambitious event, which was hugely oversubscribedrace director of the London Marathon, said it was the largest inaugural mass participation event in the world, and the complexity of the various events – also including a handcycle race and a women's elite race – combined with the road closures made it a challenge to deliver.

He said the event could not have happened a decade ago. A combination of serendipity, hard work and judgment had allowed British Cycling to create a virtuous circle between elite success and increased grassroots participation, he said.

"We're almost coming to a crescendo now: we won the Olympics pitch in 2005, then there was the success of the British cycling team in Beijing, which inspired people on the bikes. Now we have what London is doing as a city in terms of


commuters, trying to be like Amsterdam.

"Then there was the success at London 2012 and Bradley Wiggins in the Tour de France. You've got a whole host of things that come together. We couldn't be launching this at a better time. To an extent there's a bit of luck in that, but there's also a lot of planning."

Jonny Clay, British Cycling's director of cyclesport, who won an Olympic bronze alongside Wiggins at the Sydney Games in 2000, could be among the first 100 finishers in Sunday's sportive.

"RideLondon is more evidence of the boom in cycling in this country – the sport has never been in better health. It is exactly the kind of event we want to encourage – one that is not just about elite competition but alsohelps to grow the sport," said Clay, adding that the number of sportives or challenge rides had surged 34% since 2012.

There is confidence among those at the sharp end – entrepreneurs who have grown their businesses off the back of the recent boom in cycling – that it is sustainable. Nick Hussey, a fanatical cyclist for more than 20 years who now runs Vulpine, a firm selling casual cycling clothes, recounts his youthful impressions of the pursuit. "It was a tiny, tiny sport and ultra cliquey, full of people who talked about gear ratios all weekend. Cyclists were basically racers or you rode to the shops. There wasn't much else."

Now cycling has become so mainstream that shortly before he launched Vulpine a multinational sports company offered to buy


to cycle in, but she'll be holding a bike."

Much of the boom is associated with road cycling, says Carlton Reid, who runs Bikebiz.com. "Previously we had mountain bikes, but now they're dead in the water. No one can shift them out of their shops at the moment. It's all road bikes of £500-plus."

Many buyers are middle class, middle-aged men investing in pricey carbon fibre machines, he says. "It's such a cliché, but clichés have got a basis in fact: cycling is the new golf." I don't even like saying the phrase but it's so true. You see the two sports portrayed on TV and you think: as an executive, which would you buy into?"

Chris Hoy, the six-time Olympic gold medallist, says cycling is a more inclusive sport thanright conditions, they fly."

Francis, 59, who only took up serious cycling herself in her 40s and is now a British track racing champion for her age group, says the demand is there: her club began with seven paid members and now has more than 70. She says: "We're not just out in frocks, going for cups of tea. We are the full spectrum of speeds. But we do it thoughtfully."

Francis carried out an audit of women's cycling groups in the north-west for British Cycling – which she calls "appalling" at supporting women – and found 15 groups spanning 1,000 riders.

The bike industry is viewed by many as similarly patronising to female riders, often producing a limited range of scaled-down bikes and accessories mainly distinguished by their colour palette


– the so-called "shrink it and pink it" approach.

Hussey recalls being urged not to bother making women's clothing when he launched Vulpine. When he did, the items sold out "within days" and he realised the error. "I think there's actually more potential in women's cycling than there is in men's. Why on earth is women's cycling so badly catered for, across the board? Nobody really seems to have caught on to this."

Francis is similarly scathing about retailers, recounting her experiences at the Evans store inside Manchester's National Cycling Centre, the base for the British Olympic team. "They've got the most pathetic collection of women's and bikes clothes in there," she says.

British Cycling would point to its attempts to grow women's leisure cycling through a network of national Breezeclubs, which arrange informal all-female rides to introduce women to the sport, and its success in bringing elite female riders through the system.

The gender divide at the top of the sport has become a huge issue in light of a campaign – led by the Ironman competitor Chrissie Wellington and British rider Emma Pooley among others – to reintroduce a women's Tour de France . A petition to the organisers of the men's race has reached more than 87,000 signatures.

As for the London mayor, he said he merely hoped to complete the course, and did not expect a record-breaking time. "The chiselled whippet is in there somewhere, but the sculptor has yet to find him. He may emerge in the course of the next few days," Johnson said.

Jay Baruchel Mourns End of 'How To Train Your Dragon,' Says Final Film Is 'Sadder' and Most Rewarding

Actor and screenwriter Jay Baruchel didn't anticipate that "How to Train Your Dragon" would become a global phenomenon when he agreed to voice the lead role in the 2010 animated film. Now, about a decade later, the trilogy (and its accompanying franchise) is drawing to a close, and Baruchel is bracing himself for the end.

"I haven't quite processed that it's the end yet, but I suspect the thing that I'll miss the most is ー it's going to sound super hokeyー but being a part of something that makes a bunch of kids happy across the world," Baruchel, star of "She's Out ofMy League," "Undeclared," and "This Is the End," told Cheddar on Thursday.

Dreamworks' "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" will hit theaters on Feb. 22. Baruchel said the third and final chapter will be "an even more beautiful, even more rewarding experience, but what that means is it's also going to be even sadder."

"How to Train Your Dragon" is a coming-of-age story about a Viking teen misfit named Hiccup and his dragon friend Toothless. The original film was a surprise smash hit and spawned a franchise of short films, a television series, and even a couple of video games. Although Baruchel is significantly older than Hiccup, he said he's always been able to relate to his character.

Hiccup "has to make some hard choices and realize that nothing

“When I found her, she had the clothes on that she would cut the grass in,” recalled Mathis. “She would wear earphones when she rode the lawn mower.”

A neighbor told Mathis they had seen her talking to another young woman in the yard for a couple of hours. Mathis was contacted by Patti’s niece to say she had knocked on Patti’s mobile home door and heard music, but Patti had not responded.

Mathis went to the mobile home, opened the door and found his daughter dead. At the time of her death she had been attending nursing school for a year.

Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, England, on February 21, 1907. He moved to Birmingham during childhood and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. As a young man he was influenced by the poetry of Thomas Hardy and


Robert Frost, as well as William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Old English verse. At Oxford his precocity as a poet was immediately apparent, and he formed lifelong friendships with two fellow writers, Stephen Spender and Christopher Isherwood.

In 1928, his collection Poems was privately printed, but it wasn't until 1930, when another collection titled Poems (though its contents were different) was published, that Auden was established as the leading voice of a new generation.

Ever since, he has been admired for his unsurpassed technical virtuosity and an ability to write poems in nearly every imaginable verse form; the incorporation in his work of popular culture, current events, and vernacular speech; and also for the vast range of his intellect, which drew easily from an extraordinary variety ofliteratures, art forms, social and political theories, and scientific and technical information. He had a remarkable wit, and often mimicked the writing styles of other poets such as Dickinson, W. B. Yeats, and Henry James. His poetry frequently recounts, literally or metaphorically, a journey or quest, and his travels provided rich material for his verse.

He visited Germany, Iceland, and China, served in the Spanish Civil war, and in 1939 moved to the United States, where he met his lover, Chester Kallman, and became an American citizen. His own beliefs changed radically between his youthful career in England, when he was an ardent advocate of socialism and Freudian psychoanalysis, and his later phase in America, when his central preoccupation became Christianity and the theology of modern Protestant theologians.
