time travel and travel between parallel universes. Another example of this is the conflict between Dick Grayson and Helena Wayne, both of whom are heirs of Bruce Wayne. They're both met with the reality that any outing of Bruce Wayne as the Batman will not only destroy his reputation, but will also out them both as Robin and Huntress, effectively forfeiting their positions as legal counsels in a highly public court hearing. Helena Wayne in particular would've been compromised since she was legally representing the very team she was a member of as a costumed vigilante. Her taking part in this court hearing under those circumstances was a pretty big risk in itself. Throw in the fact that the person she was arguing against in court was DickGrayson (someone she sees as her brother), and things only got more intense.

While Per Degaton has many of the characteristics of a cartoon villain (wants to take over the world, wants to destroy the heroes who stand in his way, obsesses over how he will accomplish both goals), Thomas still manages to present him as a more complex and even sympathetic character. Despite living up to many of the clichés that exist for villains in this genre, Per Degaton's background actually presents a realistic motivation for pursuing a life of villainy. He was an ambitious man with a strong desire to be something more in the world, and actually wanted to accomplish something important that would land him a place in history. His problem was he had little


opportunities to fulfil those dreams, and the closest he ever got to reaching those goals was becoming an assistant to a reputable scientist who was working on a major ground-breaking project: unlocking the secrets of time travel. When the opportunity arose to fulfil his goals, he took it, only to end up back to where he started (repeatedly) due to interventions by both the Justice Society and Justice League. When he realised he would never accomplish his goal (especially not after being exposed to US members of Congress), he opted to take his own life, preferring death to a lifetime of failure. That was a pretty mature theme to explore in a comic that was still written with children in mind. I honestly found myself wondering how a2016)

We were about to jump onto the highway on our way to our next stop when we saw the sign and decided to take a chance and see what the place was about.What a fun museum! Tons of nick-nacks donated by collectors and NASA people. We had an enthusiastic guide, Odette, who gave us a fact filled tour of the place.

Passive air sampling for polychlorinated biphenyls in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
Passive air samplers were deployed at 32 sites across the Philadelphia metropolitan area to investigate the types and locations of atmospheric polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) sources in a typical U.S. city. PCB levels varied over a factor of approximately 30 and displayed strong spatial gradients. Two regions of high PCB levels were observed, one in the center of Philadelphia and another on the city's south side. These two maxima are thought to represent urban vs. industrial sources. A Gaussian diffusion model was found to adequately describe the spatial gradients for the primary (center city) concentration maximum. Higher molecular weight PCBs were more prevalent at the more urban locations, in agreement with other urban gradient studies and suggesting that re-emissionIS claims Quetta bomb attack

IS claims Quetta bomb attack QUETTA: The militant Islamic State (IS) group said Friday it was behind a roadside bomb that injured 13 people in Quetta, the SITE Intelligence Group said, days after a major attack in the city killed 73.

The latest explosion on a bridge in the city on Thursday injured four police personnel and nine passers-by, in an attack apparently targeting a judge.

Site reported that the IS group claimed the attack on its Telegram channel, al-Bayan Radio and Twitter.

The attack came just days after a suicide bombing at a hospital on Monday also claimed by the IS killed 73 people, most of them senior lawyers gathered to mourn a colleague gunned down earlier in the day.

The League of Women Voters is the latest group to invite the candidates to a forum or debate. Ivey told reporters she had not received that invitation, but a spokesman clarified that she had not seen it.

Ivey is seeking to be elected governor after taking the office by default last year. Ivey, who had been lieutenant governor, was elevated to the top job last year when her predecessor resigned in a cloud of scandal.

Ivey did not debate her Republican primary challengers who also criticized her unwillingness to meet them on the debate stage. Ivey easily won the nomination.

IEG countersued Grammer, denying it was in possession of such a tape, and Grammer's suit was eventually dropped. IEG President Seth Warshavsky later said, "We have been presented with another Kelsey Grammer tape. But we have no plans to air it. We are still evaluating it at this time." Grammer later reflected:

Whether or not you're a celebrity—even if you're just an old slob with a video camera—you don't realize you shouldn't do it. So you throw the tape in the back of a dark closet until your old girlfriend remembers it's there because you're famous now and she's not. But


Synagogues and schools line Park Heights Avenue in Pikesville — Temple Oheb Shalom, Baltimore Hebrew Congregation and the Shoshana S. Cardin School, among them. Nearby is the nation's largest kosher grocery store, and signs promoting Jewish organizations dot the neighborhood.

Now the street that runs through the heart of Baltimore's Jewish community is getting a new religious building: a mosque for Ahmadi Muslims. That plan has taken some area residents by surprise and even stirred some concerns.

The Baltimore congregation of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam has bought the Slade Mansion, a white, Colonial-style house at Slade and Park Heights avenues, a busy intersection in Pikesville. Local members of the sect, which has been persecuted in other parts of the world, have outgrown their home in the city and hopethey can find a comfortable home in the deeply religious neighborhood.

Some neighborhoods — in Tennessee, Georgia and New York City — have reacted angrily to proposed mosques and Islamic centers. Ahmadi Muslims were blocked in 2008 from building a worship center in Frederick County after residents complained about crowded roads.

Jewish community leaders say they are trying to show the Ahmadi congregation that Pikesville will welcome them. After some people expressed fears about the mosque, neighbors reached out to the Muslim group and encouraged members to introduce themselves to people who live, work and worship nearby.

Traveling down Park Heights, people "see one synagogue after another, and now all of a sudden you will also see a mosque, which is surprising to some people," said Art Abramson, executive director of


the Baltimore Jewish Council. He said a "small segment" of the community has expressed fear about the mosque.

"I've always believed that fear is based upon ignorance." he said.

"What they knew of [Islam] was based on 9/11 and beyond."

Ahmadi Muslims are a minority sect founded in India in 1889. Dr. Agha Khan, who oversees finances for the Baltimore congregation, greeted members of the Baltimore Jewish Council this month, starting with an Arabic saying and then the English motto of his sect: "Love for all and hatred for none." Neighbors are highly esteemed in their view, he said.

"The basic message that we have is peace and friendship," Khan said later.

'Quintessential Jewish suburb'

A third of Baltimore's Jews live in Pikesville, making it the largest Jewish community in the area, according toa 2010 survey commissioned by The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore.

Pikesville became "the quintessential Jewish suburb" in the 1970s, but the reasons behind that go back much further, said Deborah Weiner, research historian at the Jewish Museum of Maryland.

Many Jews settled in Northwest Baltimore in the 19th century, partly because of housing discrimination in other parts of the city. Jews moved away from their neighborhoods downtown as they became upwardly mobile — first German Jews in the 1880s and 1890s, and then Eastern Europeans in the 1920s, she said.

As suburbanization changed the landscape of Baltimore and other American cities in the decades after World War II, Jews kept moving northwest, following the corridors of Liberty and Reisterstown roads and Park Heights Avenue, Weiner said.

"Jews have always been


interested in forming Jewish neighborhoods where they have their own institutions, synagogues, businesses," she said.

When word got out about the Muslim congregation's purchase of the Slade Mansion — the congregation bought the property in March for $900,000 — some in the surrounding area were uneasy, said Neville Jacobs, president of the Pikesville-Greenspring Community Coalition.

"There were calls from people who worried," he said. "They didn't know what to expect."

Jacobs said he first found out about the congregation's plans in April when he got a call from a local community association president. "She had received three calls from people who were very disturbed, very agitated," he said.

But now Jacobs calls the relocation a "nonissue" and believes that most people will welcome the Muslim congregation. For that, much of the creditgoes to Khan.

Khan, a neurosurgeon at Sinai Hospital — a cornerstone of Baltimore's Jewish community — is considered his congregation's go-to guy. The eighth of nine children, he was born in Pakistan after his family moved from India. He has a deep interest in Africa and has traveled to Ghana to help build a hospital there.

A friendly 57-year-old with glasses and a short gray beard, Khan was driving through Pikesville last fall when the mansion caught his eye as a possible home for the Ahmadi Muslim congregation that had outgrown its building on Garrison Boulevard in Northwest Baltimore. The Slade Mansion, located near the Beltway, was the perfect spot and size for the congregation's 40 families, who live throughout the Baltimore area.

"It's a beautiful building, very strongly built,"


Khan said. "I knew this was a Jewish neighborhood, but that didn't cross my mind that that should be a problem at all."

Jewish leaders, as well as Baltimore County Councilwoman Vicki Almond, have reached out to the congregation, said Khan, adding that he has received welcome letters from area synagogues. The group hopes to move there within the next few months.

"I make an effort to go and explain … what we are about," Khan said. In addition to speaking to the Baltimore Jewish Council, he has met with rabbis and community groups, and appeared on a Jewish radio show.

"Any of the people who have been nervous, once they meet Dr. Khan and understand about the Ahmadi movement..there hasn't been a problem after," said Mandee Simmons, who handles communitymansion. It doesn't, he said, though it plans to add some parking spaces to the grounds.

'Good neighbors'

Ahmadi Muslims believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who lived in India in the 19th century, was sent by God as the promised messiah. Their U.S. headquarters are in Silver Spring.

Some Muslims do not consider Ahmadiyya members to be true Muslims because they interpret parts of the Quran differently, said Marius Deeb, a professor of Islamic studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. Adherents believe that Jesus went to Kashmir, India, after surviving the crucifixion, he added.

"Mainstream Muslims don't look at them with favor," he said

In 1993, the Baltimore City Council passed a resolution — requested by the local Ahmadi population — condemning Pakistan for "systematic repression" of the sect's


members.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a pacifist movement, Deeb said. According to its website, the sect rejects terrorism and endorses a separation of religion and state.

Still, in the Frederick County town of Walkersville, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community tried to buy more than 200 acres of farmland to use for a worship center and space for annual conventions. The town's zoning board rejected the plan, saying the area's roads and emergency services couldn't handle the number of people who would attend a national convention.

In 2008, the landowner filed a religious discrimination lawsuit. The lawsuit was settled in 2009, with the town agreeing to buy the property for $4.7 million, according the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, which has tracked disputes over mosques.

Abu Dhabi (WAM): His Holiness Pope Francis, head of the Catholic Church, reached Abu Dhabi Sunday evening to kick-start his historic visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and His Eminence Dr Ahmad Al Tayyeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar Al Sharif received Pope Francis.

A number of children lined up with bouquets of roses to welcome the Pope.

His Eminence Dr Ahmad Al Tayyeb arrived in the UAE earlier in the day and was also received by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.

In a statement, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed welcomed the visit of Pope Francis and Dr Ahmad Al Tayyeb to the UAE. Expressing his greathappiness, he said that the visit is especially important in promoting the values of fraternity, peace and peaceful coexistence. The visit is also significant because it reinforces ties of friendship and cooperation between the UAE and the Vatican, he said.

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed said that the UAE has been, and will continue to be, a beacon of tolerance, moderation and coexistence. It will be a key participant in the dialogue of civilisations and cultures, he said, and will continue to oppose intolerance and extremism regardless of its origin, thus embodying the noble human values it believes in as well as the openness and moderation that has always characterised its people.

His Holiness Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Al Sharif, he said, are universally respected and appreciated


for their great humanitarian role in promoting dialogue and understanding across the world and their continuing efforts to defend just causes. They are also respected, he added, for rejecting conflict and war and promoting coexistence between people of different religious, sectarian and ethnic affiliations.

He went on to say that the visit of His Holiness Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al Azhar Al Sharif to the UAE was especially significant as it occurs in the year which President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has declared as the Year of Tolerance. It thus affirms that the UAE‘s role in spreading tolerance transcends local borders, and that the country’s pioneering efforts have made it a global destination to launch civil society initiatives in support of theyears I spent going to college, planning a career, and starting relationships, it didn't occur to me that the climate's tipping point might present itself during my own ovarian prime time. Before becoming an environmental journalist, I was only vaguely aware of how climate change worked. Upon the release of the sequel to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, I had to shamefully admit to my coworkers that I'd never seen the original. Thanks to the election of President Donald Trump and the horrifying spate of hurricanes and wildfires in recent years, however, it's become impossible to ignore the fact that things are looking increasingly grim for my generation's offspring.

About five years ago, though, clients in their early thirties started coming in with climate anxiety. Generally, Davidman finds that as she works with these clients, other anxieties emerge. "It's easier and more socially acceptable to say 'climate' than 'I'm really ambivalent about having children.'" Ambivalence, she says, may be the least acceptable response in a pronatalist society that equates motherhood with women's manifest destiny. "We often get judged and shamed for not knowing. But the climate argument shuts people right up."

This makes me wonder whether I'm pinning all my unresolved personal issues onto the poor climate. Last Thanksgiving, when I mentioned to my mother that global warming wasRudy did it again. Last Friday, Giuliani gave an interview to the Huffington Post, and the subject of Trump fixer Michael Cohen's recently revealed arrangement with AT&T about the pending merger with Time Warner came up. In his usual thoughtless, arrogant fashion Giuliani explained that AT&T didn't get anything for their money because "the president denied the merger."

The president is not supposed to interfere in such decisions, and the White House has repeatedly denied that he did. But ever since the Department of Justice unexpectedly moved to block the merger, unless (among other things) the company agreed to spin off CNN, Donald Trump's nemesis, it had seemed likely Trump was behind the move. He had said on the campaign trail that he was opposed to the merger, but


blocking it was considered an unusual decision by a Republican DOJ, and the stated rationale seemed thin. Considering Trump's repeated threats to take the Justice Department in hand and muzzle the press, it's not surprising people would wonder about all this.

The resulting lawsuit has been in court for some time, and the judge has not allowed AT&T's attorneys to pursue this line of inquiry, so the suspicions quieted down until Giuliani stuck his foot in it again. He later walked it back, of course, telling CNN's Dana Bash that the president had nothing to do with the decision after all. But it was yet another example of Giuliani creating more problems than he solves.

An alarming 61 percent of Republicans and 25 percent of independents believe the FBI is framing Donald Trump. Only 17 percent of GOP voters disagree with that. This is a testament to the efficacy of Trump's constant repetition on Twitter and television of mantras like "Witch hunt!" and "No collusion." Those have had their effect, particularly as they are echoed by Fox News and talk radio:

The president of the United States has managed to convince tens of millions of Republicans that he's being set up by his own Justice Department. That would seem to run counter to everything they have previously believed -- until you realize that his victimization at the hands of Big Government fits neatly into


Father Ted star Pauline McLynn knits woollen jumpers for battery hens Published duration 19 November 2014

A campaign to knit jumpers for rescued hens is being led by Father Ted star Pauline McLynn, better known as Mrs Doyle from the Channel 4 sit-com.

Instead of making the tea, she is making woollen body warmers for the featherless birds, as thousands are due to be rescued from battery farms.

Having spent their lives in cages, the hens do not have feathers to keep warm.

Ms McLynn is patron of an Irish animal rescue sanctuary, which isattempt to repeat that rescue, as another batch of hens are facing slaughter.

LittleHill's founder Susan Anderson has launched Operation Hen Rescue 2014 and has enlisted the help of Ireland's most famous housekeeper.

Ms McLynn told RTÉ: "There's a band of ladies and gentlemen all round Ireland knitting little jumpers at the moment for these hens."

LittleHill Animal Rescue is also running a "hen hotline" so members of the public can reserve a rescued bird for adoption.

First pair of tickets for Glasgow 2014 Opening Ceremony given to competition winner

Sunday, 08 July 2012

By Tom Degun

July 8 - The first pair of tickets for the Glasgow 2014 Opening Ceremony, and indeed the entire Commonwealth Games, has been given to Scotland's Claire Bell after she won them through the Organising Committee's Sport Your Trainers campaign, which encourages people across the country to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

The Opening Ceremony will take place at the 60,000-capacity Celtic Park (pictured below) on July 23 in two years' time and it is set to be one ofthe biggest sporting events in Scotland's history.

The 38-year-old Bell from Kirkcaldy near Edinburgh saw an advert for the campaign and decided to get involved.

By joining it, she was automatically entered into a prize draw to secure the precious Opening Ceremony tickets and she has subsequently secured two seats to watch the event unfold.

Bell and her husband, David (pictured top), were given the tickets on the pitch at Celtic Park by Glasgow 2014 chief executive David Grevemberg and she said that it was an amazing moment for her.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to have the first pair of tickets to the Opening Ceremony for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games," said Bell.

"I remember watching the Handover Ceremony from the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games on TV and feeling so proud to be Scottish.

"Standing


in the stadium with empty seats puts shivers down your neck and I can't wait to be there to experience the Opening Ceremony live.

"It's going to be an amazing experience."

The Sport Your Trainers campaign encourages Scots to wear their trainers on Commonwealth Day, which is held on the second Monday in March each year.

This year, Commonwealth Day took place on March 12 and Glasgow 2014's campaign saw people of all ages, from all parts of the country, walk to work or go for a stroll at lunchtime.

"Opening Ceremonies are defining moments in a Commonwealth Games," said Grevemberg.

"The Glasgow 2014 Opening Ceremony will be no different as we kick off the biggest sporting event in Scotland's history.

"Congratulations to Claire on winning the first pair of tickets.

1. An artist as philosopher

Despite periodic doubts, Friedrich Nietzsche does indeed belong to the great thinkers. Even though his work remained unfinished in nearly every respect, and though many of his thoughts are exhausted in exalted gestures and there is in his writings not one insight which cannot be found somewhere else — despite all this, he has become a classic figure of philosophy. And though the jury is still out on whether the 19th Century is reflected in him in grand distortion, or whether he himself was just caricaturing it, his œuvre has long since become an integral part of the philosophical tradition. Within only a few decades of his reception, the provocateur has become a standard author, to whom journals, book series, research institutionsYet with regard to the artistic form of his own existence, he is singular: his aesthetic will is not merely limited to his own musical, poetic, prophetic and aphoristic production. In his work, he seeks to achieve nothing less than the aesthecization of his own existence. Herein lies Nietzsche’s Romantic heritage. He takes up impulses from Novalis, Hölderlin, and Byron and is particularly close to Kierkegaard, of whom he presumably knew nothing at all. The Romantic period is the great water shed of European thought. It divides time between two-thousand five-hundred years of scientific enlightenment, on the on hand, and the much-sought culture of a secular unity of body and feeling on the other. Nietzsche is the first to have attempted to draw consequences from this for the


intellectual history of epochs.

With this intention, Nietzsche attempts to give his very life an artistic form. In so doing, he does not orient himself on the closed composition of a single work of art. Neither the image nor the sculpture, neither the symphony nor dramatic poetry serve as his ideal. He is interested rather in the process of tragic action and events, such as are expressed in ever new configurations by the interplay between the protagonist of Attic tragedy and the chorus. Nietzsche aestheticizes the polarity between individual and collective into a hermetic event in which the individual climbs to the peak of his powers, only to necessarily fail. Construction and destruction, becoming and passing-away lead to a rhythm of return in which not only life is led,meaningful units of experience possible. Its destructive antipode is the power which destroys all. Nietzsche calls the creative power "Apollinian"; the pleasurable drive to destroy unities of intelligible experience is called "Dionysian". Both pleasure-giving powers create, in their combative interplay, the epochal achievements of culture.

In the opening sections of the BT, Nietzsche portrays the dynamic polarity of Apollinian and Dionysian forces as a kind of dialectic which constantly creates anew through construction and destruction. It is the battle of these two antithetical principles which permitted the early Greeks to swiftly develop the simple song into artful poetry and then, later on, the all-encompassing art of tragedy.

As Nietzsche does not limit this description to the history of Greek culture, he postulates this dialectic as a kind of law of


motion in history. It is a principle which he will later repeatedly place over and against the model of a continual increase in cultural achievements. He tends to think in cycles and especially in terms of renaissance, and he shuns the linearity of a continual progression. He nevertheless remains close to Hegel’s conception of history, because he assumes that the process of construction and destruction will yield an (albeit imprecisely defined) dividend. Dionysus and Apollo, too, are made responsible for the manifest development from simple odes to the stylized drama of choral poetry. Thus Nietzsche also takes the side of the power of Apollo, the power of endowing unities of experience with meaning. In the end, every destruction has the purpose of creating better conditions for more opulentgrowth. And yet this expectation of a continuing development of powers following intermittent decline is that which Nietzsche refuses to grant himself.

That is why he fails to adequately grasp historical events after the decline of Greek tragedy – a process which he cannot even understand in its causes, since he ignores the political factors which are connected with the decline of Greek city-states. Nietzsche blames the destruction of tragedy on one man against whom he brings the most ponderous of accusations, while at the same time transfiguring him into the saviour of humanity. It is Socrates who breaks through the dialectic of both gods of art, without being a disciple of Dionysus. For this act of destruction, which he supposedly accomplishes with nothing but his faculty of reason,


of history which is to overcome the Socratic period of culture. In this connection he declares himself the consummator of Nihilism, the precursors for which we find in his perspectivist Relativism, his aesthetic Interpretationism, his Amoralism and his often repeated tiding of "the death of God" (GS 125; 3, 480 ff.). And yet, at the same time, he wishes to be the vanquisher of precisely this Nihilism! His “will to power” is supposed to herald in a “grand politics”. In the consciousness of the eternal return of the same, a love of fate is expected to grow, a love in which decisive action and the unconstrained delight in the beautiful are to be forged into a new unity and whole. Finally, the destruction of all received values isof this future being as the title of “ape” sounds to human beings.

7. Reception

Nietzsche unifies the pre-dominant themes of both the 18th and 19th Centuries, of Enlightenment and Romanticism, and combines critical reason and mythopoetic longing. It is no exaggeration to call him the most influential philosopher of the 20th Century. He determined the ethos of youth movements and the cultural avant-garde well beyond the First World War, and he gave voice to the atmosphere of catastrophe after the defeat of civilization. He provided the anti-democratic and civilization-hating movements catch-words and slogans up until the Second World War, and inspired the Existentialism and Humanism of post-war society. Finally he became, in the last third of the last century, the preferred authority for all those who turned their backs


Malerkotla, Punjab - By lunchtime on a bright Sunday in mid-February, the small roads that led towards the grain market of Malerkotla, the only Muslim-majority town in the Indian state of Punjab, were choked with parked-up charter buses.

A tractor towing a trailer full of grey-bearded Sikh farmers inched forward between the vehicles and gaggles of banner-toting protesters, past a few long-limbed, khaki-turbanned, traffic-directing police, and then came to a thwarted halt.

Its cargo disembarked - a posse of spare-framed men with the look of years spent at work in the sun. They shuffled past a row of shuttered shop-fronts, and then turned a street corner. Soon, they had merged into the crowd: a placid phalanx of bobbing heads, some in turbans and many in skullcaps, moving imperturbably towards theboom of the loudspeakers.

A slogan bounced around the thronged square: "Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isai, aapas mein hain behen bhai!" - an affirmation of fraternal feeling across communities of faith.

Similar pledges of solidarity have been shouted at marches and sit-ins all over the country in the turbulent few months since India's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party-led government enacted a new citizenship law in December. The law, called the Citizenship Amendment Act or CAA, offers fast-tracked naturalisation to Afghan, Pakistani and Bangladeshi migrants belonging to any of the major faiths of the region, except Islam. For the first time in India's constitutionally secular history, Indianness has been made explicitly and legally conditional on religion. Across India, millions have taken to the streets in a show of resistance.

At protest sites I visited in Delhi, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh, their refrains of togetherness rang defiant. This was national unity as resistance: scrappy and adamant.

But in Malerkotla, there was a note of matter-of-fact assurance in the rehearsals of communal amity. The mood was festive. Children wore their best clothes. Small clusters of police officers strolled through the crowd chatting and sipping from tiny cardboard cups of tea.

In the spirit of the Sikh tradition of the langar - the food served to all regardless of caste or religion - free food was distributed everywhere: rotis and chickpea curry, bread pakoras.

A pair of young men stood on the bed ofa parked truck tossing oranges, which grow well in Punjab, to passers-by. Orange peels studded the tarmac, and their aroma spiced the air.

This was Punjab's largest anti-CAA demonstration to date, and in crowds numbering somewhere between 50,000 and 140,000, a sizeable majority of the protesters appeared to be Sikh and Hindu.

The lead speaker that day, civil and human rights activist Harsh Mander, who has addressed dozens of anti-CAA protests around the country, told me it was easily the largest gathering of non-Muslim protesters he had yet seen.

"The BJP [the governing party] had thought only the Muslims would come out on the street," one protester remarked, "but the situation is very different: the whole of India is out."

A demonstration of indivisibility

Early that morning, while mist still muffled the long


views across Punjab's green wintertime wheat fields, Navdeep Kaur boarded a hired bus with 50 other Sikh women.

They drove 100km (62 miles) from their village in Mansa district, and arrived in time for Kaur and seven of her friends to nab space on the floral-patterned matting that surrounded the speakers' dais.

Kaur, a 40-year-old farmer and mother with a luminous sun-browned complexion and a generous smile, was here, she said, because "we know the Muslims are in Malerkotla".

Kaur wanted to play her part in what she considered a mass demonstration of indivisibility. "This kala kanoon," she explained, using a Hindi phrase that translates to black law, "is like the partition of 1947, a second time. I am against further division."

It was a comparison that would be expressed many moretimes that day: the memory of India's natal violence felt urgent, and close at hand.

Though February is late winter in Punjab, the sun was hot by early afternoon, and protesters rested in spots of shade under trees [Al Jazeera]

In 1947, Punjab was at the epicentre of the sectarian massacres that attended the subcontinent's separation into India and Pakistan; the new border sliced West Punjab from East.

As up to two million people were killed in neighbour-on-neighbour atrocities, with Muslims on one side, and Hindus and Sikhs on the other, combined Punjab lost an estimated 2.3 to 3.2 million people to death and unrecorded migration.

While one-third of East Punjab's residents had once been Muslim - in the Indian state it became, Muslims made up just 2 percent of the population.

According


to Parminder Singh, a retired professor of English from Amritsar and a speaker at the Malerkotla rally, stories of partition are always reactivated in moments of sectarian strife.

Singh, who was born in 1951, did not witness the partition himself, but like many other Punjabis, he inherited the memories of his parents and grandparents - friendships his father had shared with Muslim boys before they left or died; the efforts of his grandfather to help Muslim neighbours achieve safe passage to the border.

Even so, he said, "When I was growing up, partition was not actively part of my conscious being. But when communal terrorism came to Punjab in the 1980s, when we started facing communalism in our own lives, then you started thinking about partition again."

When protesters at Malerkotlachant "san santalis banne nahi denge", a pledge not to allow a repetition of 1947, he explained, "It means the trauma is coming alive again in the present situation - a situation once again dominated by communal ideas and politics."

A blessing

I encountered Baldev Singh in the raw heat of the mid-afternoon, near a volunteer-manned water station. A 79-year-old Sikh wheat farmer from a place called Bhucho Kalan, Baldev Singh has a child's memories of partition: a patch-work of remembered stories and his own faded impressions.

"In 1947, people said that Sikh people from other villages came and attacked Muslims in our village. Some Muslims left, others were hidden in homes," he told me. A younger man had drawn near to listen. He cut in: "That's the story of every


village."

But there is an exception: in Malerkotla, nobody died, and very few Muslims fled. All around the then-princely state, Punjab was on fire. A soldier in the Malerkotla army would later describe seeing bloated bodies, casualties of violence upstream, drift past on the current of an irrigation canal.

Still, inside the boundaries of Malerkotla, the peace held.

Once a princely state, Malerkotla, known as an "oasis of tolerance" for its history of inter-faith harmony, is Indian Punjab's only remaining Muslim-majority town [Al Jazeera]

"Peace, as it turns out, is as multicausal as conflict," writes Anna Bigelow, a Stanford professor of religious studies, who spent a year and a half living in Malerkotla during the early 2000s, studying its enduringly tranquil civic identity.

But locally, notes Bigelow, the single most popular explanation forthe extraordinary calm at partition reaches back in time almost two and a half centuries.

In 1705, the region was at war, and the two youngest sons of the 10th Sikh guru, Gobind Singh, had been seized by Mughal forces at Sirhind. The captors planned to execute the boys by bricking them up alive inside an airless chamber.

Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan of Malerkotla, an ally of the capturing force, argued against their murder.

"He raised his voice. It was a very human act, and it has been appreciated in Sikh history," explained Nadeem Anwar Khan, a Congress party politician and an eighth-generation descendent of Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan, who watched the protest speeches from a plastic chair in a VIP zone to one side of the dais.

Though Sher Muhammad's efforts


to rescue the boys ultimately failed, Guru Gobind Singh heard of his intercession, and in gratitude, blessed his kingdom. It was this blessing, locals say, that saved Malerkotla from attacks in 1947.

Inspired by history

In February, awareness of the city's special history seemed to project a talismanic kind of reassurance over the protesters.

After I said goodbye to Baldev Singh and his friends, I was approached by a black-bearded man wearing wayfarer sunglasses and a plastic trilby in the colours of the Indian flag, from which sprouted a second tricolour on a straw-like flagpole. He introduced himself as Abdul Rashid, an employee of the Malerkotla municipal council, and told me that, even though he feared the kala kanoon that was dividing India, Malerkotla remained a place of safety.

were Navdeep Kaur and her friends, finding their way back to their bus. The colour they wore - citric, like canary but more acid - is called basanti, the colour of spring.

A Sikh woman in a basanti dupatta - the colour is associated with a prominent farmers' union, but also with sacrifice and patriotic spirit [Al Jazeera]

Here and there on the road out of Malerkotla, I would spot flashes of it in the fields, where a mustard crop had come into blossom. The colour signals celebration, recalling a springtime kite-flying festival in Punjab. Perhaps Kaur and her friends wore it because it was associated with the agricultural union to which they belonged. But, in the right context, basanti also summons the memory of a long-dead freedom fighter calledBhagat Singh. "I'm with Bhagat Singh's ideology," Kaur told me.

Like many others among the millions who have taken to the streets since December, Kaur was new to this kind of activism. She had always been "with the people", she said, participating in the kind of localised, bread-and-butter rallies organised by her farmers' union, but not in this "political way" - not, at least, on the national scale, for a national cause.

The spectre of societal fracture had changed that: now, Kaur said, she felt she knew "what was right".

In January, she had volunteered to travel to the capital as part of a convoy of Sikh farmers offering langar at Shaheen Bagh, the marathon sit-in led by Muslim women on a chunk of South Delhi highway that has become the


iconic site of anti-CAA resistance. "They were good people," she recalled, "and they were together".

Above the stage at Shaheen Bagh, Kaur would have seen Bhagat Singh's picture strung up in a makeshift gallery of patriotic rebels and trailblazers, the guiding ghosts of history.

From the Malerkotla dais, speakers raised slogans of unity against what many of them described as the divisive efforts of the government [Al Jazeera]

I spotted his face swaying on placards in Malerkotla, too. In portraits, Bhagat Singh is always moustached and dashing, and he is always very young - he was 23 when he was executed by the British, in 1931. In some images, he wears a beige hat, rakishly angled; quite often he has on a basanti turban.

"Actually he never wore that colour turban," ChamanLal, a Bhagat Singh scholar, told me over the phone, later. "The idea has been ingrained into people's minds because of the popular media" - he blames a famous movie and a famous song.

But Lal, who had also been at Malerkotla that Sunday, conceded that even an ahistoric basanti tribute at a protest still amounted to a celebration of Bhagat Singh's revolutionary spirit.

"In him, they find a person who actually gives them the real sense of nationhood, who made no distinction between Hindu, Muslim, Sikh. He stood for all oppressed people," Lal explained.

To Lal, it seemed like the reanimation of the heroes of the independence movement was a tacit acknowledgement of unfinished business. "What I feel is that this is an eruption of all those issues which were


part of the freedom struggle, and which were never resolved," he reflected. "Nation-building is still in process."

To Kaur, Bhagat Singh was a source of courage. "They hanged Bhagat Singh for his resistance to the kala kanoon," she had said, sitting cross-legged in the sun and smiling. "He was hanged for the people, and we are with him."Giving to the History Department

The UF basketball team sees Exatech Arena for the first time Tuesday, coming through the grand entrance officially named the Tom & Jane Johnson Atrium.

Work inside Exactech Arena was put on hold for two hours while the Gators practiced Tuesday.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The new curb appeal is confined mostly to the front of the building in the form of the so-called "grand entrance," but it's obvious to anyone driving by. Walk through the doors of the renovated Exactech Arena at Stephen C.

Like swaggy. Like cool," he added. "It's like a new era has begun."The players got taped at the practice facility then headed over to the dome. They entered through the 20,000-square foot grand entrance and filed into the arena as a group. Nearly all of them were armed with cell phones that either Snapchatted or Facetimed or did something to show off their new digs to someone somewhere. A couple scooted up through the now-bleacherless lower bowl and for a view


from the plush lounge of the George Brand Center Court Club."Are you kidding?" forwardasked rhetorically. The O'Connell Center, as people know it, no longer exists. That 36-year-old, all-everything edifice was totally gutted and replaced with a state-of-the-art version complete with spectacular new audio and video tools that the team got a mini-taste of during their initial walk-through.Then it was off to the home men's locker room, complete with a lounge, theater meeting room, circular locker room and training area.It was thumbs up across the board."Two thumbs up," junior guardcorrected.After their guided foray, the players took to the floor for that inaugural practice, but first, en masse, approached a group of administrators standing watch to extend a collective hand and say, "thank you."After that, the lights illuminating the standshad the look of a multi-purpose facility, and this place is going to knock their socks off."But first, it's the Florida fans' turn. As of Tuesday afternoon, less than 1,000 seats remained for the Wednesday opener — the O'Dome's official capacity is now 10,133, nearly 1,500 fewer than before — and the UF ticket office is expecting a hefty walk-up.

Four years ago, he was one of the top prospects in the country. When he made his official visit to UF, the Gators didn't even bother taking him to the O'Dome."Just saw the practice facility," Hill said. "That was it."Frankly, given the dome's out-datedness, that had become the norm. Exactech Arena/O'Connell Center represents a very new norm.Hill, the team's lone four-year senior, lived the evolution, experienced the wow factor and now gets to revel in it."It was a surprise coming in here because it looks so totally different," Hill said.

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jordan Lyles was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday, a day after spraining his toe against the Phillies.

With one out in the second, Phillies left fielder Cody Asche hit a liner back to the mound that Lyles was able to avoid, but he appeared to re-aggravate a previous injury in the process.

Lyles, who exited early in three of his last four starts with toe problems, is sporting a 5.14 ERA over 10 starts this season.

Taking his place on the roster is Tommy Kahnle, a right-handed reliever who made his MLB debut last year with the Rockies. The 24-year-old pitched to a 4.19 ERA in 54 appearances and struck out 63 over 68

the US super-agencies, and a founder of CAA, has just published a memoir, Who is Michael Ovitz?, which was reviewed in the last issue of Television.

Ovitz was clearly touched with genius, but the book is a curious read, a mea culpa with barely an apology in sight. Without great fanfare, he writes that, at a certain point – though it is not entirely clear when that point was – he was “able to put executives in place at the studios and then sell our projects to them, controlling both supply and demand”.

If there is a holy grail in television, it is the dream of vertical integration. This is the ability to capture production and broadcast, the supply of content and the gatekeepers who control demand – the entirevalue chain – within one organisation. Ovitz, like the popcorn eater, had a variant of this idea in mind.

Unable to own platforms, he wanted to represent all the talent, from directors and producers to writers and actors, together with a sprinkling of TV network and studio executives.

With restrictions in the US on agencies moving into domestic production, CAA, WME, ICM, UTA – all of those three-letter acronyms, with their tough consonants – have, nonetheless, sought to grab more of the TV value chain.

Two of the most talked-about shows of recent years, Killing Eve and The Night Manager, received significant investment from Endeavour Content, described as the content division of WME and IMG. (IMG was acquired by WME at the end of 2013.)

In the case of Killing Eve, the


combination of broadcast on BBC America, tax breaks and investment against distribution from Endeavour Content were enough to green-light the show. BBC One’s money came in later.

When Chris Rice, co-president of Endeavour Content, was interviewed by Deadline in May, he said he did not want to produce. Instead, he wanted to provide “support” across sales, financing and business affairs, and offer producers “whatever they need to operate their business in the most effective way”.

Nearly 90% of all scripted TV series are packaged by talent agencies

The statistics about the power of the major talent agencies in the US are already jaw-dropping. According to figures collected by the Writers Guild of America, nearly 90% of all scripted TV series are packaged by talent agencies, with WME and CAA accounting fornearly 80% of shows between them. The combination of access to lots of top-tier talent and access to capital goes a very long way.

Apple’s first wave of original commissions in the US is said to be almost entirely multimillion-pound packages from the major talent agencies.

Outside of the US, the agencies are less constrained. For a while, it seemed that Endeavour Content was one of the favourites to buy Endemol Shine but, in the end, the interest seemed to fizzle out. Then, in October, it announced it was backing a start-up run by Simon Maxwell, outgoing head of international drama at Channel 4.

In March, UK talent agencies United Agents and Casarotto teamed up with US-based Anonymous Content, producer of True Detective and the Oscar-winning Spotlight, to launch a production


producers.

At that point, the balance of power between buyers and sellers changes. The seller holds all the cards.

The power of the mega-agencies is there for all to see

In the US, the power of the mega-agencies is there for all to see. Setting up companies such as Endeavour Content and investing in production businesses outside the US only strengthens their position.

The Writers Guild of America keeps a watchful eye on this activity on behalf of its members, the thousands of writers employed across hundreds of US TV series. It has been looking to update its long-standing agreement with the Association of Talent Agents, focusing on areas where it believes there are conflicts of interest.

Many people still call addiction a moral failing. But 20 years of research tells us that it's a disease that results in part from the damage that abused drugs do to the brain circuits required for self-control. Unfortunately that damage is long-lasting, meaning that the

family size on educational expenditures in South Korea. South Korea is a country where educational expenditures are substantial, but time investments may be more important in a country like India where education is mostly publicly funded. Moreover, in the end, it is the educational attainment (and not the amount of financial resources spent) that matters in terms of overall family well-being and human capital investments in the country.

We restrict the family size to children aged 0--20 to focus our analysis on school-age children. Older children (21 years of age and older) are more likely to have already completed high school and to be active in the labor market, so their inclusion in the sample may dilute the true effect of family size on the educational attainment of school-goingConspiracy theorist Alex Jones was arrested early Tuesday in Austin, Texas, for driving while intoxicated, officials said.

Laura Baar-Speight, a wildlife biologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, also was on hand Saturday leading volunteers deeper into the wildlife interpretation element.

She took a moment from teaching the Texas Master Naturalists about reptiles and amphibians to explain why those natural residents flourished better under conditions the refuge restores.

The arrival of Europeans, she explained, resulted in the loss of both natural grasslands, to farming, and the end of lightning-induced wildfires that kept the forest bed clean.

There was once an ever-moving puzzle of open spaces and woods.

"In the ecology of this area, maybe a lightning strike happens and the trees burn down," she said. "So, we have an opening in the forest."

Sunlight reaching the ground lured grass to those open areas,about 1,500 acres each year to create a three-year cycle.

Most trees here are between 45 and 55 years old, sprouting where cotton fields dominated before TNT, rockets and bombs became the cash crop. From World War II to 1994, the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant kept 3,000 former cotton farmers and others busy 24 hours a day seven days a week.

The cycle of prescribed burns, gradually, aims to thin out what Williams calls the "understory" to give the pines - especially the short-leaf variety that once was dominant in this part of the state - room to grow.

Meanwhile, long-leaf and loblolly pines are harvested. They are recycled into cash for projects such as the riding trail, plus about $30,000 enriching Harrison County government coffers.

Since President Trump appointed Mr. Whitaker last week, the acting attorney general has faced questions about the extent of his involvement with World Patent Marketing, where he was a paid advisory-board member until at least 2016. The company was shut down last year by the Federal Trade Commission after it accused the firm of scamming $26 million.

The threatening phone call recalled by Mr. Magedson suggests Mr. Whitaker took a more active role than previously known in shielding World Patent Marketing from outside criticism. He also wrote an August 2015 email threatening an unhappy customer, court documents show.

The call also suggests Mr. Whitaker was aware of allegations of fraudulent activity against the company, which was later confirmed by


provision is ambiguous and, therefore, pre-1978 Bankruptcy Code-Bankruptcy Act decisions which almost uniformly denied any interest payments should be followed. Hand County, South Dakota, and Beadle County, South Dakota ("counties"), alternatively insist that the "plain meaning" of Section 506(b) entitles nonconsensual oversecured lien creditors to interest on their prepetition claims. Attorney Mary G. Keller represents Beadle County and Attorney James Jones, Hand County, and a hearing was held in Aberdeen, South Dakota, on February 11, 1987.

Half a century later, this annual day unites millions across the globe, drawing attention to the huge challenges facing our planet.

Now more than ever, Earth Day offers an opportunity for us all to reflect upon our relationship with the planet, amid the most powerful possible message that nature can surprise us at any moment, with devastating consequences for pretty much every individual. It is a time when the health of the planet and its people has never been so important.

There was much talk of nature as the bridge between the biodiversity and climate crises, of nature-based solutions such as forestation, peatland restoration and the protection of mangroves as the answers to some of the challenges we face today, and of natural capital supporting sustainable development and human wellbeing.

Medicinal uses for the tiger's bones, flesh, fat, blood, stomach, testes (for scrofula), bile, eyeball, nose, teeth, claws, skin, whiskers, feces, and bones in the feces are listed, but none for the penis. Likewise, rhino horn* is listed as an antidote for typhoid, headache, carbuncles, "boils full of pus," and "the evil miasma of hill streams," but not impotence.

It is interesting to note that tiger penis is often taken in a potent wine, or brandy, which in and of itself might do the trick, should the man be suffering from simple performance anxiety.

For no doubt similar reasons, the straight women, their husbands told the researchers, "did not grasp the shaft of the penis tightly enough."

But the empathy gap is not insurmountable. One has only to speak one's mind. The other hugely important difference Masters and Johnson found between the heterosexual and homosexual couples was that the gay couples talked far more easily, often, and openly about what they did and didn't enjoy. Gay men and women simply seemed more comfortable in the world of sex. Masters gives the example of the heterosexual men's finger insertions: "Though many heterosexual women evidenced little pleasure...and were obviously distracted by [it],...only twice did they ask their husbands to desist."

It seems to me that

Aston Martin squad JMW Motorsport recorded their best result of the season in Portimao, the third round of the Le Mans Series – the team finishing the 1000km event fourth in the LMGT2 class.

On a weekend when temperatures soared, the 4.69km AutÃ³dromo Internacional do Algarve resplendent in the Portuguese sunshine, the Essex based team and the GT2 class a whole shone as an example of quality racing – the top eight teams covered by only three laps at the end of the race.

Rob Bell qualified the team's Aston Martin Vantage eighth, and starting the car immediately began the race as the team was to continue, taking chunks of time out of the Porsche and Ferrari teams at the head of the field,


jumping up to fifth to hand over to teammate Darren Turner.

Turner continued the team's assent up the field, running up to second faster than the leading Porsche, to install the no.92 car in second place, where it remained for much of the race.

Unfortunately it was then that the only problem for the team struck in the form of a small power steering problem, leading to a longer than planned pitstop in the final third of the race – dropping the car back to fourth.

Though the team finished tantalisingly close to the podium places – behind the two AF Corse entries and the Team-Felbermayr Proton Porsche of Marc Lieb and Richard Lietz – it was a very encouraging step in the team's three-year partnership with Aston Martin after acare of business” (150), alluding to killing his friend Jimmy, as well as Jimmy’s wife, but he is also extremely reluctant to do that. Jules, instead of being aligned with American military actions in Vietnam, is linked with American military actions from WWII, as he frames himself as The Guns of Navarone (159), referencing the WWII film about the Battle of Leros. Unlike the Vietnam war, WWII was a defensive war where America was attacked first. Jackson, then, is aligned with justifiable military action, such as when he kills men who tried to rob Marcellus Wallace, and likewise when he himself is robbed by Ringo and Yolanda. Ultimately, though, Jules is uncomfortable with his role of avenging perceived wrongs, which is made clear in the climactic scene when


Jules confronts Ringo. During the scene, Jules offers Ringo an alternate version of the iconic speech he gave earlier in the narrative: a liberal paraphrasing of Ezekiel 25:17. The original Biblical text is explains the difference between justice and revenge, noting that Philistines took “revenge with malice in their hearts” (Ezekiel 25:15). Jules speaks of the ‘path of the righteous man’, the ‘tyranny of evil men’, the ‘shepherds’ and the ‘weak’, and tries to situate himself within this group of people. The truth of the matter is that many Americans see themselves as ‘the righteous man’, even as American assaults sovereign nations like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and then sees groups like the Vietcong, al-Qaeda, and ISIS as the ‘tyranny of evil men’, failing to realize that thethe film, the spirit of the film remains the same. Much has been said about the theme of redemption present in the film, but the characters in the film call upon certain archetypes and ask the viewer to frame this notion of redemption in the context of American history, a theme that runs throughout many of Tarantino’s films. Strongly rooted in reference to the Vietnam war, Tarantino seems to be acutely aware of the impact that imperialism has had on America’s psyche. Tarantino ultimately argues that if America is going to have malice in their hearts, they will forever be the ‘tyranny of evil’, and though the path of the shepherd is unknown, the path of the malicious heart is fated for tragedy.

prefer guns as their method of suicide, researchers note in the American Journal of Public Health.

Most of the suicides in the study happened where the majority of people in Maryland live – in metropolitan areas with at least 1 million residents.

Just 218 suicides, or 3.5 percent, occurred in rural communities.

One limitation of the study is that researchers relied on data from medical examiner reports to identify people who died by suicide, the authors note.

Results from Maryland also might not reflect what would happen elsewhere in the U.S., particularly because the state has enacted permit laws that can make it more difficult to purchase a new gun, the authors also point out.

Rural communities in Maryland are also much more densely populated than remote areas of many other U.S. states,as embedded systems, drone dynamics, and the C++ programming language,” said Kevin Sartori, co-founder of Auterion. “With MAVSDK, any qualified mobile developer can write high-level code for complex operations, meaning more developers will be able to build custom applications and contribute to the community.”

LAS VEGAS -- A hunt for the killer of two sleeping homeless men in Las Vegas led to an unusual attempted murder charge Tuesday and a legal debate about criminal intent, when a man was accused of trying to kill a mannequin used as a decoy near the downtown site where the men had died of head injuries.

The charge was lodged against 30-year-old Shane Allen Schindler at a hearing in which a justice of the peace ordered him to undergo a mental competency evaluation.

Clark County Public Defender Phil Kohn derided the charge of attempted murder as "a legal impossibility," saying someone can't kill an inanimate object.

Chapter from The Wire: Urban Decay and American Television, edited by Tiffany Potter and C. W. Marshall.

More about this title:

The first collection of critical essays on HBO's The Wire - the most brilliant and socially relevant television series in years.

The Wire is about survival, about the strategies adopted by those living and working in the inner cities of America. It presents a world where for many even hope isn't an option, where life operates as day-to-day existence without education, without job security, and without social structures. This is a world that is only grey, an exacting autopsy of a side of American life that has never seen the inside of a Starbucks.

Over its five season, sixty-episode run (2002-2008), The Wire presented several overlapping narrative threads, all set


in the city of Baltimore. The series consistently deconstructed the conventional narratives of law, order, and disorder, offering a view of America that has never before been admitted to the public discourse of the televisual. It was bleak and at times excruciating. Even when the show made metatextual reference to its own world as Dickensian, it was too gentle by half.

By focusing on four main topics (Crime, Law Enforcement, America, and Television), The Wire: Urban Decay and American Television examines the series' place within popular culture and its representation of the realities of inner city life, social institutions, and politics in contemporary American society. This is a brilliant collection of essays on a show that has taken the art of television drama to new heights.NEW DELHI: When Sri Lanka unexpectedly turfed out President Mahinda Rajapaksa in an election this month, it was the biggest setback in decades for China’s expansion into South Asia – and a remarkable diplomatic victory for India.

Despite New Delhi’s protestations, diplomats and politicians in the region say India played a role in organizing the opposition against pro-China Rajapaksa.

His successor, President Maithripala Sirisena, has said India is the “first, main concern” of his foreign policy and that he will review all projects awarded to Chinese firms, including a sea reclamation development in Colombo that would give Beijing a strategic toehold on India’s doorstep.

India has pushed back against China elsewhere in the region since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office in May, improving ties with Japan and Vietnam, both locked


seriously at ways in which the U.S. and India can work more together in the Asia Pacific on a whole range of issues,” said Medeiros, director for Asia at the White House’s National Security Council.

Medeiros also referred to a trilateral security dialogue involving the United States, Japan, and India.

Washington made no bones about its distaste for Sri Lanka’s Rajapaksa, who critics accuse of war crimes, corruption and nepotism. But until last year India was indecisive, perhaps afraid of pushing the hero of the war against Tamil separatists even closer to China.

That changed in September, when Rajapaksa allowed a Chinese submarine to dock in Colombo, without informing India, as it was bound to under an existing agreement.

Tennessee is a state located in the Southern United States. There are 346 municipalities in the state of Tennessee.  Municipalities in the state are designated as "cities" or "towns". As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 3,564,494 Tennesseans, or just over 56% of the state's total population of 6,346,105, lived in municipalities. The remainder lived in unincorporated areas.

Municipal charters
Before 1954, all Tennessee municipalities were established by private act of the state legislature and operated under charters established by private act of the legislature. As of 2007, 212 of the state's municipalities were operating under charters established by private act of the legislature. In 1953, amendments to the Tennessee Constitution prohibited subsequent incorporations by private act and provided for several new forms of municipal charter.


whom, young adolescents spend their after school leisure-time. Adolescents reported spending more than half of the after-school period, and more than three-quarters of the evening, at home with most after school time spent in the home in general (no specified room) and most evening time spent in the bedroom. Almost half of after school time was spent with siblings or family members, with comparatively little (less than 1%) being spent with friends. In the evenings, adolescents spent a similar amount of time with siblings or family members as they did after school but spent more time alone. These findings highlight the home environment as a key location for screen viewing, making it a prime target for interventions.

Step 2: Mortgage Guarantees

The banks had another reason for approving these risky mortgages and home equity lines of credit. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), both Government Sponsored Enterprises, were more than willing to guarantee over $5 trillion in risky mortgage debts, freeing the banks from obligation if the homeowners defaulted.

Other financial companies bought these mortgages off the banks, bundled them together in big blocks of securities, and sold them to still other financial companies on Wall Street.

Step 3: Mortgage Backed Securities

The Wall Street investment houses didn'ttried to unload them, which further depressed housing prices.

Because much of the economic growth of the past several years was in the homebuilding industry, the collapse of demand for new houses threw more people out of work and slowed the economy further, which left more people vulnerable to foreclosing, which in turn fed back into the vicious cycle of falling house prices.

Step 5: Subprime Exposure

Financial institutions that had invested heavily in subprime mortgage securities started to unravel. The subprime sector was the most vulnerable because the people making payments at the end of the line were the most likely to foreclose.

One of the biggest early failures was the Bear Stearns investment bank, which declared bankruptcy after their subprime hedge funds were revealed to have lost nearly all their

Paulson insists the bailout is necessary to solve the financial crisis, but the Congressional Budget Office argues that it could actually cause the crisis to deepen by exposing still more insolvent corporate assets.

It remains to be seen exactly how it will look when Congress approves it, but some form of bailout seems inevitable at this point.

U.S. Figure Skating and the Professional Skaters Association recently named Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex’s Jim Peterson, Lyndon Johnston and Alison Smith as the 2010 Developmental Coach of the Year.

Peterson, Johnston and Smith are the coaches of U.S. Figure Skating gold medalists, Olympic pairs skaters and World team members Caydee Denney and Jeremy Barrett and U.S. Figure Skating silver medalists, Olympic pairs skaters and World team members Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig, who all train at the ice rink.

To be considered for Developmental Coach of the Year, a person must be actively coaching, meet appropriate United States Olympic Committee/National Governing Body professional coaching standards and have made a significant impact


on athlete performances at a developmental level of competition during the 2009-10 season.

Peterson, Johnston and Smith were selected by a vote of members of the U.S. Figure Skating Coaches Committee and the PSA Board of Directors. Peterson, the head coach, previously won the award for his accomplishments in the 2008-09 season.its breakpoint level). The elimination probability was defined as the percentage of runs that reached this outcome. The required number of MDA rounds for elimination was estimated as the lowest number of MDA rounds that resulted in a ≥99% probability of elimination. For annual MDA programs, the estimated required number of MDA rounds equals the duration of MDA in years. For semiannual MDA programs, the duration of MDA in years equals the number of MDA rounds divided by 2.
