least two units from the zone whose turn it is to elect the president.

Manohar tore apart Srinivasan in an interview to the tabloid Mumbai Mirror on 3 October 2013. He said that as Srinivasan was responsible for the mess in BCCI, he shouldn't be BCCI president any more. He further said "Srinivasan has no right to continue as president. If you had the slightest of conscience, self-esteem and care for the board, you ought to have put in your papers the moment your son-in-law (Gurunath Meiyappan) was arrested [for betting in IPL. You did nothing and, as a result, the board's reputation has taken a hit to the extent that the people have lost faith in this board." He concluded by saying: "I left the board two yearsback and I have not entered its premises again. I have no intention to come back. I said if all the members want me, I will not shirk the responsibility. This board has given me a lot and I was willing to give something back."

April 2014 BCCI emergent Working committee meeting
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) called an emergent working committee meeting in Mumbai on Sunday, 20 April 2014, to decide its future course of action following the Supreme Court's order that forced Srinivasan to step aside as the cricket board's president. The meeting was called after several state associations wrote to the BCCI interim president (administration) Shivlal Yadav, demanding a discussion on the ongoing issues. Many state cricket association members think that only Shashank


BCCI official told PTI.

On 4 October 2015 he was elected as the new president of the BCCI unopposed in the special general meeting called by the board on Sunday. The decision was a mere formality as all six state associations from the East Zone, led by Cricket Association of Bengal's new chief Sourav Ganguly had nominated him to the chair.

Promises made at the post-election  press conference

“In last few days the confidence of cricket loving fans has shaken due to certain unpleasant things that have happened,” Manohar said at a press conference after his election.“But leaving them behind, it’s now duty of all board members to build the reputation of this board.” “We want to restore the faith of fans that cricket is clean,” Manohar said.

Manohar has madesix promises which would be implemented in the immediate near future:

1.) Regulating conflict of interest issues: Appointment of an ombudsman or an ethics officer who would be independent of this board and who would look into the complaints as with regards to conflict of interest of the administrators, players or the staff.
2.) Preventing on-field corruption: He said, “We would like to meet the government officials to work out if we can get certain investigative agencies to work on this. Because the board doesn’t have any investigative powers… our hands are tied.”
3) Getting member associations' accounts in order: The board will appoint auditors to make sure that the huge money paid by the BCCI it is spent on cricketing activities or not otherwise.
4.) Making the BCCI's financial records public:


Miami Heat Seek Third NBA Title in A Row

LeBron James and his Miami Heat teammates seek their third title in a row and fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals starting with their playoff opener Sunday against Charlotte.

WASHINGTON: LeBron James and his Miami Heat teammates seek their third title in a row and fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals starting with their playoff opener Sunday against Charlotte.

But it will be the league-best San Antonio Spurs and Eastern Conference pace-setter Indiana that carry the top seedings and home-court edges throughout the NBA playoffs that begin Saturday. Attention will focus on four-time NBA Most Valuable Player James and Miami's bid to defend the crown once again.

And while Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh need strong supporting roles, there's no doubtJames must excel for Miami to have any real chance. "We need him to be a monster for us," Miami's Shane Battier said. "As long as he has the edge to his game, that's what we need. That gives us the best chance of winning. I think he's close."

Saturday's opening games in the first round, best-of-seven playoff matchups find Memphis at Oklahoma City and Golden State at the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference and Atlanta at Indiana and Brooklyn at Toronto in the Eastern Conference. Sunday finds Washington at Chicago in addition to Charlotte at Miami in the East and Portland at Houston and Dallas at San Antonio in the West.

Miami went 1-5 to end the regular season, a far cry from last year when they


row, the East's best. The Pacers were eliminated by Miami in each of the past two seasons and the teams will be favoured to reach the East final again. Washington will return to the playoffs for the first time in six years against Chicago, seeking their first playoff series win since beating Chicago in 2005.

The Bulls will offer a pressuring defence against Wizards top scorer John Wall. Toronto, a third seed, will return to the playoffs for the first time since 2008 when the Raptors face Brooklyn, which is 34-17 since the start of 2014.

In the West, the Spurs led the NBA with a 62-20 record and will open against a Dallas team that has lost three consecutive playoff meetings to San Antonio. NBA scoring champion Kevin Durantwill lead second seed Oklahoma City against Memphis. The Grizzlies upset a Thunder team without injured Russell Westbrook in last year's second round.

The Clippers, who set a club win record for the second year in a row, took the third seed to set up a playoff date with Golden State. Houston will face Portland, a team that it beat in three of four regular-season meetings. The Trail Blazers missed the playoffs the past two seasons.

April 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. military has killed the deputy leader of the Islamic State's Somalia branch in an airstrike, officials said.

The U.S. airstrike targeted a vehicle near the Xiriiro, Bair Region Sunday, killing Abdulhakim Dhuqub, the affiliate's "second in command," U.S. Africa Command said Monday.

Officials said Dhuqub "was responsible for the daily operations of the extremist group, attack planning, and resource procurement."

U.S. Africa Command, of AFRICOM, killed only Dhuqub and "no civilians were injured or killed."

Earlier this month, AFRICOM revealed it had found credible evidence that two civilians, an unnamed woman and child, were killed in a similar airstrike a year ago.

The new regulations require that the pilot must show proof of insurance, provide registration information and takeoff and landing plans and obtain permission from occupants of any port facilities under the flightpath to receive the permit.

The cost of the permit is $100 and will cover the cost of processing the application. Once the permit is administered, the port will post the flight plans on their website to notify port tenants. A Harbor Patrol Officer will also be dispatched to observe the take off, flight and landing of the unmanned aircraft.

History was never my favorite subject. But reading a few book paragraphs about something that happened before I was born, many states away, is different from living where something happened and is still discussed and analyzed. So after living most of my adult life in central Arkansas, I finally toured the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site.

The site has a visitor center staffed partly by National Park Service rangers. National historic sites exist to interpret history, and there’s a reason the rangers are also called interpreters. I’ve taken the tour with two rangers. Each highlighted some things the other didn’t even mention.

In the fall of 1957, the Little Rock School District began desegregation with nine black students


at Little Rock Central High School. The first day, they didn’t even make it into the school; they were kept out by the Arkansas National Guard, under orders of governor Orval Faubus. (One interpreter noted that in holding the line against blacks, those troops also kept out some employees—cafeteria workers and janitors.)

Nineteen days later, they started school, but a gathering mob got so menacing that school officials had them whisked away early, hidden under blankets in the back seats of police cruisers. Two days later, they finally completed their first day of school at Central. President Dwight Eisenhower had sent in troops from the 101st Airborne—the same infantry unit that helped storm the beaches at Normandy and drive back the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge—to escorthad a pay phone they could use to file their stories. A drugstore across the street at the other end of the school had a pay phone, too, and Eckford headed there to call her mother, but someone locked the door and flipped the CLOSED sign in her face.

Throughout the visitor center, you can lift an old-timey black handset, press a button and hear the voices of the Little Rock Nine talking about the reasons they wanted to attend Central High, and what life has been like since.

Gloria Ray wanted to be a doctor, and Central had science labs. The sister of Minnijean Brown noticed something Central didn’t have that their all-black high school did: laundry class. She realized that class was like vo-tech for a future as


Attempt to discredit Benghazi whistleblower backfires

An alleged attempt to discredit a Benghazi guard possibly has backfired.

A leaked four-page incident report could prove that two days before then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice famously told the nation that Benghazi was a spontaneous protest in response to a “hateful video,” the State Department was provided a first-person account stating the attack was a coordinated jihadist assault.

The unsigned report, dated Sept. 14, 2012, was allegedly written by Dylan Davies, a private security contractor at the Blue Mountain Group.

Davies has been in the news in recent days since releasing a book about Benghazi under the pseudonym Morgan Jones.

Davies also gave a news-making interview last week to “60 Minutes” in which he recounted his attempt to defend the U.S. compound. He criticized the government forhe attempted to drive to the mission 30 minutes into the attack but could not get near it, because “roadblocks had been set up by the Sharia brigade.”

The author of the report said he went back to the U.S. mission the next morning to find jihadists still inside.

He said “there were five members of the Sharia brigade inside dressed in desert camouflage uniform.”

The writer stated he returned to his villa immediately after the attack while Davies writes in his book he attempted to reach the Benghazi compound but couldn’t do so because of Ansar al-Sharia roadblocks.

The report’s author said he learned of Stevens’ death from a Blue Mountain guard who had apparently secretly gone to the hospital and had taken a photo of the ambassador’s body. Davies writes


in his book, however, he was the guard who infiltrated the hospital and verified Stevens was dead.

A State Department official confirmed that the report obtained by the Daily Beast matches a version sent to the U.S. government by the Blue Mountain Group. Davies told the Daily Beast he failed to report his personal involvement at the hospital and the fated compound because a top Blue Mountain executive had asked him to stand down.

While most of the news coverage surrounding the Blue Mountain report focuses on how the version conflicts with the story told by Davies in his book, a missed detail is how the report also conflicts with the original Obama administration talking points on Benghazi.

The talking points were reportedly edited to remove references to terrorism or otherinstances that would contradict the “spontaneous” demonstration narrative.

According to an interim House report on Benghazi, after a White House deputies meeting Sept. 15, 2012, the administration altered the talking points to remove references to the likely participation of Islamic extremists in the attack.

The administration also removed references to the threat of extremists linked to al-Qaida in Benghazi and eastern Libya, including information about at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi.

Charged the report: “Senior State Department officials requested – and the White House approved – that the details of the threats, specifics of the previous attacks, and previous warnings be removed to insulate the department from criticism that it ignored the threat environment in Benghazi.”

Nets Trade Rumors Tracker: Latest Updates Ahead of NBA Trade Deadline

Nets Trade Rumors Tracker: Latest Updates Ahead of NBA Trade Deadline

0 of 6

The Brooklyn Nets are solidly in contention in the Eastern Conference, but making a push for a higher playoff seed is what every contending team strives for in the second half of the season.

NBA executives are always calculating ways in which they can get better. At this point in the season, most of those plans include either attempting to swing deals to regroup for the future or go all-in for a playoff run. The Nets should be attempting to do the latter.

Brook Lopez, Deron Williams and Joe Johnson have been leading the charge this season, but with Brooklyn still trying to play catch-up with the EasternAdrian Wojnarowski, the Nets have offered a package that is centered on forward Kris Humphries and guard MarShon Brooks:

The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets have discussed a trade for Celtics star Paul Pierce, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Nets' offer centered on forward Kris Humphries, guard MarShon Brooks and a first-round draft pick, but the Celtics want a more substantial package to consider moving Pierce, league sources said.

As Wojnarowski notes, the Nets' inability to land Pierce will likely come from their lack of assets. Humphries is under contract for $12 million next season, and while Brooks is still considered a promising young scorer, his play has cratered this year.

With the Celtics playing well since Rajon Rondo's injury and the trade winds around Garnett dying down, this seems


like a highly unlikely match. But if Garnett winds up in Los Angeles, Boston may re-open the conversation with Brooklyn in order to set a detonator on its roster.

Kris Humphries for Ben Gordon Being Discussed?

3 of 6

Seen as a key offseason signing to the Nets' playoff hopes, Kris Humphries has been anything but in 2012-13. The $24 million man has put up a paltry 6.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game on the season, down from his double-double average from the last two seasons.

Humphries has also struggled mightily to find a place in Brooklyn's rotation since P.J. Carlesimo took over for Avery Johnson. He's averaging just 11.3 minutes a night in February, down from around 20 per contest for the season, and has played in fewer than 10minutes in three of the Nets' last four games.

In other words, he's an expendable asset. And according to ESPN's Chris Broussard, Brooklyn may have found a muse for Humphries services in the Charlotte Bobcats, who would send Ben Gordon to the Nets in return:

A veteran guard, Gordon would instantly help the Nets by reducing their reliance on C.J. Watson and MarShon Brooks. Both have only been intermittently effective this season and Gordon, despite his reduced skill set, was once the NBA's best sixth-man.

Though there are still some hoops to jump through, this seems like a deal that would benefit both sides.

Andray Blatche on the Block for a Draft Pick?

In October of 1985, IRS agent Matthew Claus ("Claus") spoke to Curtis concerning an audit of the Partnership.  Curtis told Claus that Montelius had replaced him as general partner.  Claus followed up with Montelius, who identified himself as general partner and signed consents extending indefinitely the period of limitations for assessment of tax attributable to partnership items for tax years 1982, 1983, 1984.  In December of 1991, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue ("Commissioner") issued notices of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment (FPAA) disallowing the Partnership's deductions for costs of goods sold for these years.  The Partnership argued before the Tax Court that Montelius had no authorityChina celebrated its growing power and confidence with a massive display of military hardware and goose-stepping troops in Beijing on Tuesday, overseen by President Xi Jinping who pledged peaceful development on the 70th birthday of Communist China.

The event is the country's most important of the year as China looks to project its assurance in the face of mounting challenges, including nearly four months of anti-government protests in Hong Kong and a economy-sapping trade war with the United States.

Xi, dressed in a slate grey "Mao" suit and accompanied by his predecessors Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin, said China will pursue a mutually beneficial strategy of opening up.

The country's military should resolutely safeguard China's sovereignty, security, and development interests, and firmly uphold world peace, Xi told a handpicked crowd at


Tiananmen Square, in comments carried live on state television.

"No force can ever shake the status of China, or stop the Chinese people and nation from marching forward," Xi said from the Gate of Heavenly Peace, where Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China on this day in 1949.

China must maintain lasting prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao, promote the peaceful development of relations with self-ruled Taiwan and "continue to strive for the motherland's complete reunification," he added.

Xi, whose military modernization program has rattled nerves around the region, then descended to the street and inspected row upon row of military hardware and immaculately presented troops.

Riding past in a black limousine, Xi bellowed; "Hello comrades, hard-working comrades!"

Another challenge is Chinese-claimed Taiwan, a free-wheeling democracy with little interest in being run by Beijing and which holds presidential elections in January.

There are also restive minorities in Tibet and heavily Muslim Xinjiang, where China has faced international opprobrium for detaining up to one million ethnic Uighurs in what China calls a de-radicalisation scheme.

Underscoring another problem Xi faces, the parade took place under a smoggy Beijing sky, despite region-wide efforts to curb emissions ahead of the anniversary. Industrial and transportation air pollution has been slow to disperse due to low pressure and high levels of humidity.

Ordinary Chinese residents were not permitted to attend the parade, which was limited to a carefully vetted crowd.

On the eastern end of the main road leading into central Beijing, several kilometres from Tiananmen Square, crowds gathered craning their necks to see anything.

On February 18, 1974, Dr. Gallo was notified by Blue Shield of Florida, the Secretary's intermediary under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1395u, that he had been overpaid $77,720.69 in Medicare payments for the years 1966-1971.  It requested immediate payment of these funds.  Blue Shield also informed Dr. Gallo that funds then due him were being held pending word from him as to how he wished to repay the money.  Rather than discuss the method of repayment, Dr. Gallo sued the Secretary, seeking to compel him to pay the amount then due, to enjoin the withholding of current and future amounts, and to enjoin him from compelling reimbursement for the overpayments.

Police in northern Mae Hong Son province arrested a local woman on Thursday (September 12) for allegedly procuring a 13-year-old girl for paid sex with a string of men.

Muang Mae Hong Son police superintendent Colonel Thanapol Binthapanya said the woman, whose name had not been released as of publication time, was arrested at a guesthouse after the Shan girl, a Myanmar native, implicated her as the person who forced the girl into the sex trade.

A police source said the girl, who recently completed Prathom 6 at a local school, claimed she had been forced to have unprotected sex with about 10 men since June, meeting them in a convenience store at a petrol station and accompanying them to the guesthouse on Liang Muang Road.

Middle East

Jordan - the next Middle East flashpoint?

For the West, the Jordanian monarchy is an anchor of stability in the Middle East. But one analyst argues that ignoring the discontent there to maintain the status quo could deepen tensions in the country.

Jordanien Demonstration

As rebellion continues to sweep one Arab nation after another, Jordan's diplomatic importance seems to grow. Quite apart from its relative domestic stability, the Hashemite Kingdom is currently the only Arab country with a resident ambassador in Israel, a vital point of contact given Jordan's large Palestinian population.

Jordan is also unique for another reason - its leadership, under King Abdullah II, remains peculiarly confident. Despite thousands of nationwide demonstrations over the past two years, political uncertainty brought on by a succession of no fewer than


five prime ministers in two years, and a brutal conflagration on its Syrian border that is filling up its refugee camps (there are 200,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, by the government's last count), the monarchy seems convinced that it has overcome the worst of the Arab Spring and is back on the front foot.

The story in Amman was very different a year ago, when the king openly spoke of instability in the country and frantically promised democratic reforms in the hope of heading off a potential rebellion. Earlier this month, Abdullah felt assured enough to consider postponing the upcoming parliamentary elections set for January 23, a move that duly stirred an opposition outcry.

Hasan Momani, director of the Regional Center on Conflict PreventionSaudi Arabia, the US, and the European Union. Apparently for the sake of regional stability, those international powers are showing more willingness to overlook the slow pace of constitutional reforms, which were meant to invest the Jordanian parliament with more power. (Despite promises made nearly two years ago, the king still has the power to arbitrarily appoint and dismiss governments and is only obliged to consult parliament over the appointment of a prime minister at his discretion.)

This foreign support often comes in the shape of financial aid to prop up Jordan's struggling economy. In August, the country took out a loan of $2.05 billion (1.58 billion euros) from the International Monetary Fund - though that was contingent on commodity price increases and public subsidy cuts that will almost


the political realities as they stand on the ground," he said. "In Jordan it's clear that the Brotherhood's political arm, the Islamic Action Front, is a well-organized political machine that has strong support across the country. So it's not feasible to push them aside when they do represent a wide spectrum of public opinion."

Then again, the Jordanian opposition is more than simply an Islamist movement. "There's a much wider sense of discontent which draws in a much larger part of the population," he said. "The danger is that the authorities in Jordan and even some of their backers in the West make this purely about the Muslim Brotherhood, which is not really fair."

As yet, Jordan is a long way from the verge of collapse - the monarchy continuesOn May 1st, known as May Day , 11 homes were burned down in Philadelphia in a horrific blaze the ATF and investigators have ruled as arson.

The neighborhood known as Point Breeze has seen a lot of new construction lately as poorer parts of the city are now once again seeing some revitalization thanks to businesses who are taking a chance on the communities.

A series of flyers were posted in the area in the days before the blaze targeting the development stating "Stand up, fight back, don't allow this gentri scum to bury you."

These photos also included the three-arrow symbol of Antifa.

Currently, the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has put forward a $12,500 reward for information in this attack.

A total of 309 SS100s (118 of them with the larger engine) were built before World War Two saw production cease in 1939.

Ah, the war.

insult to injury as they took to Face Book to deepen the wounds by expounding, erroneously,
on the stories they had already given the media. Augustus was accused of being many

up the Pagan religion of Augustus Invictus as if that's a bad thing. Augustus is

Our guest this week is Hekataios Pindaros Amerikos, who
was once a Bible thumping Christian. Hekataios is now an eclectic Pagan who generally
combines Greco-Roman, Egyptian and a little bit of near eastern and Norse elements.
He is in the process of writing a book about ancient Christianity, and on this show
we will talk with him about what led up to this. Anyone stepping into Paganism from
a Christian background will enjoy this segment of Green Egg with the Mother, Maiden,
and Crone - on the PMP channel.

A member of the ITW (International Thriller Writers), M. R. Sellars
is a relatively unassuming homebody who, in his own words,“tells pretty lies
for a living.” Although his penchant for creating fiction began at an early
age, he was eventually inspired to pursue a degree in journalism, an endeavor he
describes as, “a good chase, even though it got away.” His career plans
re-routed, he put a secondary talent – electronics repair – into play.
However, this did not deter him from writing and he soon re-focused on his first
love, fiction. While he had several short stories appear in minor publications,
it wasn’t until 2000 that his first full-length novel, Harm None: A Rowan
Gant Investigation, hit bookstore shelves, officially launching the acclaimed paranormal
thriller series and its associated spinoff.
All of the current novels in Sellars’ continuing Rowan Gant
Investigations saga have spent several consecutive weeks on numerous bookstore bestseller
lists as well as a consistent showing on


the Amazon.com Horror/Occult top 100. In
2010 a short e-novella featuring a supporting character from the RGI cast spawned
a new series, The Special Agent Constance Mandalay Novels, the first full-length
book being IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER, which hit the streets November 2011. The second,
INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE is slated for release 2015.Sellars currently resides in the Midwest with his wife, daughter,
and a houseful of rescued animals – a population which currently stands at
one canine (Vicki the Wonder Dog) and three felines (Asphalt, Nachos el Tigre, and
Mac the Klaw). He often describes the fluctuating menagerie as, “the competition.”
At home, when not writing or taking care of the household, he indulges his passions
for cooking and home brewing.

35                              The appeal before us is from a judgment entered March 3,

3    2006 in the United States District Court for the Southern

4    District of New York (Conner, J.) that ordered the defendant

5    Village of Mamaroneck to issue a permit to plaintiff Westchester

6    Day School to proceed with the expansion of its facilities.     For

7    nearly 60 years Westchester Day School (plaintiff, WDS, day

8    school, or school) has been operating an Orthodox Jewish co-
9    educational day school with classes from pre-school to eighth

10   grade.    Believing it needed to expand, the school submitted

11   construction plans to the


 New York.    Its facilities are situated on 25.75 acres of largely

2    undeveloped land (property) owned by Westchester Religious

3    Institute.   Westchester Religious Institute allows the school and

4    other entities to use the property.

5         The school's buildings are far from typical.    The original

6    structures were built in the late nineteenth century, one as a

7    summer home and another as a stable.    The day school, which

8    opened in 1948, renovated the summer home and the stable to
9    create classrooms.   The school constructed Wolfson Hall in the

10  1960s and in 1979 Westchester Hebrew High School, a separate

11   entity from WDS, built a two-story high school building on the

12   property.    Thus, currently there are four principal buildings on

13   the property:   the summer home (Estate House or Castle), the

14   stable (Carriage House), Wolfson Hall, and the high school

15   building.

16        The Mamaroneck Village Code permits private schools to

17   operate in "R-20 Districts" if the Zoning Board of Appeals of the
18   Village of Mamaroneck (ZBA or zoning board) grants them a special

19   permit.   The property is in an R-20 district and WDS operates

20   subject to obtaining such


a permit which must be renewed every

21   three years.    Most recently the day school's permit was

22   unanimously renewed on November 2, 2000, before the dispute

23   giving rise to this litigation began.    Several other schools are

24   located in the vicinity of Orienta Point, including the Liberty

25   Montessori School and Mamaroneck High School.    Numerous large

26   properties border the school property, including the Orienta

                                       3
1    Beach Club, the Beachgrades first through eighth, students spend roughly half their

11   day on general subjects such as mathematics and social studies

12   and half on Judaic studies that include the Bible, the Talmud,

13   and Jewish history.

14        In an effort to provide the kind of synthesis between the

15   Judaic and general studies for which the school aims, the

16   curriculum of virtually all secular studies classes is permeated

17   with religious aspects, and the general studies faculty actively
18   collaborates with the Judaic studies faculty in arranging such a

19   Jewish-themed curriculum.   For example, the General Studies

20   Curriculum Guide describes how social studies is taught in grades

21


     Instead, the school commenced the instant litigation on

5    August 7, 2002 contending the rescission of the negative

6    declaration violated RLUIPA and was void under state law.     The

7    suit named as defendants the Village of Mamaroneck, its ZBA, and

8    the members of the zoning board in their official capacities
9    (collectively, the Village or defendant).

10        On December 4, 2002 the district court granted WDS's motion

11   for partial summary judgment and held that the negative

12   declaration had not been properly rescinded, and therefore

13   remained in full force and effect.     on

3    several factual errors.   It surmised that the application was in

4    fact denied because the ZBA gave undue deference to the public

5    opposition of the small but influential group of neighbors who

6    were against the school's expansion plans.   It also noted that

7    the denial of the application would result in long delay of WDS's

8    efforts to remedy the gross inadequacies of its facilities, and
9    substantially increase construction costs.

10        On May 29, 2003 the school filed an amended complaint

11   challenging the denial of its application.   It asserted claims

12   under RLUIPA, 42


   The Tenth Amendment provides that "the powers not delegated

15   to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to

16   the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or the

17   people."   As the Supreme Court has explained, "[i]f a power is
18   delegated to Congress in the Constitution, the Tenth Amendment

19   expressly disclaims any reservation of that power to the States."

20   New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144, 156 (1992).          The power

21   to regulate interstate commerce was delegated to Congress in the

22   Constitution.   Nonetheless, in New York, the Court said that even

23   ina year and

17   a half after commencement of the suit -- raised new issues, and
18   that it therefore had a right to demand a new trial on those

19   issues.   But its amended answer was identical to its initial

20   answer except that it added a number of affirmative defenses not

21   asserted earlier.   The new affirmative defenses alleged that

22   defendant's denial of WDS's application was not a complete

23   denial, that it did not substantially burden WDS's free exercise

24   of religion, that the denial was based on compelling state

25   interests, and that RLUIPA if applied to WDS's activities is

26   unconstitutional.   By denying plaintiff's contrary allegations,


to ride the Tour. That honor goes to Pierre Gachon, who traveled from Quebec to the race in 1937 — only to quit during its first stage.

Neither was Mr. Bauer the first Canadian to wear the yellow jersey of the race leader. Alex Stieda, who was born in Vancouver and now lives in Edmonton, became the first North American to pull on cycling’s most coveted bit of clothing in 1986.

But Mr. Bauer was the first Canadian to achieve widespread recognition at the Tour. He wore the yellow jersey for nine days in 1990. For many riders, one day in yellow is enough to make a career. When French cycling fans or hotel owners figure out that I’m Canadian, they often still ask if I know Mr. Bauer, whowas also an Olympic medalist and a contender in other major bike races.

Yes, in fact. I met Mr. Bauer for the first time back in 1992, when after several years of writing about his exploits from Canada, my editors at the Southam news agency, now defunct, decided to ship me off to France. (I was the only reporter there who cycled and followed the sport.)

Back then, live television broadcasts of the race in Canada were only a dream, and my knowledge of the Tour came mainly from two sources: French and British cycling magazines that arrived long after the race was over, and The New York Times.

By The Times, I really mean my friend Sam Abt. Sam began following the Tour for The Times in 1978, something no


other North American newspaper was doing consistently at the time. Unlike me, he had no background in cycling. But while rereading many of his Tour stories in The Times’s archive, I was struck by his brilliant analysis and dry wit.

His earliest Tour story in The Times, 40 years ago, predicted big things for Bernard Hinault, then a young rider from Brittany starting the Tour for the first time. It was a good call. Mr. Hinault, a rider so tenacious he’s known as the Badger, won the race that year and went on to take the title four more times, among his many victories.

Sam, by the way, has an important cameo inthe annals of journalism history. As an editor of the Times articles on the Pentagon Papers, the top secret documents laying out the United States’ decision-making on the Vietnam War, he was named as a defendant in the Nixon administration’s initially successful court effort to block further publication of the documents.

(“The Post,” a 2017 film directed by Steven Spielberg, told the story of The Washington Post’s efforts to catch up with The Times’s scoop.)

At some point he moved on to editing at The International Herald Tribune (now The International New York Times) in Paris, and that’s how he ended up at the Tour.

When I first showed up to cover it, Sam — who is now retired and living in the Paris suburbs — was extremely gracious in helping


me sort out the race’s often unfathomable bureaucracy and headache-inducing logistical challenges.

Some things never change. Sam wrote about doping in 1978. And I started writing about the sport’s dark arts in the late 1980s. At times I’ve felt like a science writer, particularly before the French police’s doping raid that nearly shut down the Tour in 1998, and then again in the Lance Armstrong era. During that period I often worked with Juliet Macur, whose relentless reporting raised doubts about Mr. Armstrong long before he was officially sanctioned.

This year is the second in a row in which there are no CanadiansGreen, the co-chief theater critic of The Times, made note of the director Robert Lepage’s use of innovations like setting scenes as talk radio conversation in his production of Shakespeare’s “Coriolanus” at the Stratford Festival. Through his alterations, Mr. Lepage “helps clarify Shakespeare’s portrait of a world, like ours, overwhelmed with insincerity,” writes Mr. Green.

—But Mr. Lepage continues to attract criticism of another kind. After the cancellation of “Slav,” his show in which a mostly white cast picked cotton while portraying enslaved black people, he is now under fire for creating a new show about the subjugation of Indigenous people in Canada that does not have a single Indigenous person in its cast of about 30.

Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally at Suratgarh in Rajasthan today as part of his campaign for the 2019 General Elections. His speech, as has become the norm, was replete with half truths and complete fiction as he made a last-ditch effort to avert a defeat in the upcoming polls. At this point, we are convinced that if Rahul Gandhi chose to pursue a career in writing fantasy, he would sell more copies than the Harry Potter series and Lord of the Rings combined.

Here, we examine 10 lies peddled by Rahul Gandhi in his speech at Rajasthan.

1. The ‘Vichardhara’

The Congress President began his speech by terming the Lok Sabha elections as a battle of ideologies, as he has done so often in the past. He claimed that the BJPthe matter and punctured his various lies. Things had reached such a stage that even the French government had to come out and dismiss his frivolous allegations. Even the Supreme court has debunked all the allegations made by Rahul Gandhi about the Rafale deal, reiterating the same points the Indian Government and others have been repeating continuously. But it appears that the Congress President is in no mood to relent.

Rahul Gandhi also claimed that Narendra Modi had insisted that Dassault partner with Reliance as Anil Ambani was ‘his man’. He based his assertion on the claims allegedly made by former French President Hollande whom he wrongly addressed as the current President of France. Hollande’s claims were rubbished by Dassault and despite repeated denials by Dassault of any pressure


on it to choose Reliance as one of the numerous offset partners, Rahul Gandhi continues to lie on the matter.

Even the late Manohar Parrikar was not spared by the Congress President. He used the Fake News story of N Ram at the Hindu to claim that the Ministry of Defense officials had registered their complaint with the manner in which the deal was negotiated. The Hindu had published a cropped image of the document and Rahul Gandhi had chosen to run ahead with the fake narrative. However, when the whole document surfaced, it came clear that the then Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar was aware of the negotiations and remarked that both PMO and French President offices were monitoring the government to government deal, and the comments of theAgencies as well and preparations are being made to sell them off as well. On certain days, Mallya can be spotted on Twitter weeping profusely saying that the NDA government is being too harsh on him.

9. The CBI War

Rahul Gandhi claimed that the Supreme Court had directed the government to reinstall Alok Verma as the chief of CBI. He also said that Narendra Modi had removed the CBI chief soon after he was reinstated. In reality, the SC had reinstated Verma only on a technicality and asserted that the government should have referred the matter to the high-level Select Committee consisting of the Chief Justice of India, Prime Minister and Leader of Opposition to initiate Alok Verma’s removal. And it was this select committee which had removed Verma


In January this year, the government announced a new reservation policy granting 10% reservation in government and educational institutions for the economically weaker sections (EWS) of India’s general category population. This landmark policy may have helped the BJP return to power but new research suggests that, at least for educational institutions, the reservation may not be justified.

In the study, published in the Economic and Political Weekly, Bheemeshwar Reddy and others show that general category EWS students are already well-represented in India’s top educational institutions. The authors analyze student data from 445 higher education institutions ranked by the National Institutional Ranking Framework of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). They find that of all the 1.6 million students enrolled in these institutions in 2016-17, 28% (455,000) belonged toMixer Kits

Options costing up to £50 million to deal with a notorious junction in the North-east are set to be heard by councillors.

Members of the Formartine area committee will be informed about the latest Fraserburgh, Peterhead and Ellon to Aberdeen Strategic Transport Study tomorrow.

The report offers a number of rail and road transport solutions for the north of Aberdeenshire.

Undertaken by Nestrans, the transport body is looking to reduce journey times.

Options include studying a potential rail link for Ellon and the dualling of the A90 at the Toll of Birness.

Research has been undertaken to look at ways to deal with the notorious A90 junction.

Six plans have been put on the table including a floyover junction.

In a report to councillors, director of the infrastructure services committee Stephen Archer said some short-termdaughter to use the machine -- and to cover it up if someone else was in the room.

Loading...Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet approved the taxation portion of the Trajtenberg report on Sunday, levying heavier taxes on both corporations and the extremely wealthy.

Earlier this month, the cabinet approved in principle the report by the Trajtenberg Committee for socioeconomic change, the result of a social protest movement which swept Israel all summer.

Benjamin Netanyahu speaking during the weekly cabinet meeting in the northern town of Safed October 30, 2011.

The Trajtenberg taxation recommendations, which were voted in unanimously on Sunday, included raising the highest tax bracket from 45% to 48%, as well as raising the tax on interest, dividends, stock market profits by 5%.

An additional tax of 2% will also be levied on those with exceptionally high salaries, and the corporate tax is planned to go from 24% to


25% in 2012.

The report's chapter approved Sunday also included tax breaks for young parents, worth NIS418 for every child under 3 years old, as well as a drop of NIS0.4 in gasoline prices. The benefits are planned to go into effect in 2012.

All of the recommendations approved by the government need to pass in the Knesset as well, where they will go up for a vote toward the end of this year.

Following the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said that the average Israeli consumer would "feel the government's decision in his wallet," adding that Israel would continue to act responsibly in regards to its budget in order to avoid the global economic downturn."

Prof Manuel Trajtenberg, who headed the government-ordained committee, also commented on the government's approval, saying it constituted anCapillary wrinkling of floating thin polymer films.
A freely floating polymer film, tens of nanometers in thickness, wrinkles under the capillary force exerted by a drop of water placed on its surface. The wrinkling pattern is characterized by the number and length of the wrinkles. The dependence of the number of wrinkles on the elastic properties of the film and on the capillary force exerted by the drop confirms recent theoretical predictions on the selection of a pattern with a well-defined length scale in the wrinkling instability. We combined scaling relations that were developed for the length of the wrinkles with those for the number of wrinkles to construct a metrology for measuring the elasticity and thickness of ultrathin films that relies on no more than a dish of


for President before, but her candidacy proved to be a far more elaborate affair that included a 34-city campaign tour.

She ran as the candidate of the Surprise Party. Her mascot was a kangaroo, and her slogan was "It's in the bag." She had a campaign song, "Vote for Gracie," that included the line, "If the country's going Gracie, so can you." She invented the concept of sew-on campaign buttons, to discourage her supporters from changing their minds. But one thing she refused to do while campaigning was kiss male babies "until they're over 21."

Her platform was "redwood trimmed with 'nutty' pine." She proposed making Congress work on a commission: "Whenever the country prospered, Congress would get 10 percent of the additional take." She supported good foreign relations, "solong as they bring their own bedding and don't stay too long." She also believed that Civil Service should be extended to all branches of government, because "a little politeness goes a long way." As for her gender, she noted: "If a woman isn't qualified to be president, why is it you never see anything but pants on scarecrows?"

The high point of her campaign came when the citizens of Monominee, Michigan elected her mayor of their town. However, she was later disqualified due to the fact that she was a non-resident. "A person can't live everywhere," she noted.

After the campaign was over, she wrote the book "How to Become President" (with the help of ghostwriters). It offered advice to future candidates. For instance, "You should come from a


good family, because while breeding isn't everything, it is said to be lots of fun."

#11. Pogo for President Walt Kelly started publishing the Pogo comic strip in 1949, detailing the life of a possum who was a resident of the Okefenokee Swamp. In 1952, during the "I Like Ike" campaign, Kelly announced that Pogo was running for President.

Pogo was a reluctant candidate. "I'm not a president," he said, "I'm just a possum who likes to fish." His platform was also very simple. Hestated a preference for "a regular old-fashioned flat-bottomed type platform for use at land or sea." Nevertheless, his candidacy turned out to be wildly popular.

Millions of "I Go Pogo" campaign buttons were sold. NBC promised complete coverage of the Pogo Party bid. Kelly noted, "We hope to lull the regular parties into a false sense of security by our reported attempts to clarify the issues. Once they have laughed us off, then we will strike."

The most memorable moment of the campaign came when 1600 students gathered at Harvard Square for a Pogo for President rally. The meeting grew so out of control that it escalated into a riot, and 28 Harvard students were arrested. Near-riots happened at other campuses. For instance, at Williams College students marched around town


for an hour, halting traffic, chanting "We Go Pogo."

On election day, Pogo reportedly received more votes than either the Nudist or Vegetarian Parties.

Pogo's reluctant campaign continued in following years, though it never again attracted the same amount of publicity.

#18. The Milton Mule On September 13, 1938 Boston Curtis won the post of Republican precinct committeeman in Milton, Washington. Fifty-one votes were cast for him. Those who voted for him were later surprised to discover he was a long-eared docile brown mule.

Boston Curtis’s election victory was engineered by Milton’s Democratic mayor, Kenneth Simmons. Simmons had taken the mule down to the courthouse and placed its hoofprint on all the documents necessary to register it to run. The hoofprint appeared on the records as a smeared mark. Simmons also signed his own name to the documents as a witness.

Simmons came up with the name “Boston Curtis” by combining the mule’s nameof “Boston” with the name of its owner, Mrs. Charles Curtis.

Simmons gave two reasons for the stunt. First, he wanted to embarrass the Republican party. (The joke was that the Republicans had voted in a cousin of the Democratic party’s donkey symbol.) He also wanted to demonstrate the inefficiency of the primary system by proving that voters often “know not whom they support.”

Rogers said that "the offer to run struck him like a bolt out of the blue, leaving him dazed." But he realized that "being dazed, he would make a splendid candidate."

Rogers named himself the candidate of the Anti-Bunk Party, and began writing a series of articles for Life promoting his candidacy.

He made a number of campaign promises. For instance, "Whatever the other fellow don't do, we will." And, "There'll be more wine for the rich, beer for the poor and moonshine liquor for the prohibitionist." He also promised that, if elected, he would resign, and that he would make no campaign promises.

Rogers suggested that, "Our support will have to come from those who want nothing and have the assurance of getting it." But he received many high-profile endorsements,including from Amelia Earhart, Babe Ruth, and Henry Ford.

He reportedly gained a substantial write-in vote and claimed to have won the District of Columbia. His campaign articles were collected together in He Chews to Run, published in 1928.

#15. Yetta Bronstein Yetta Bronstein, a 48-year-old Bronx housewife, ran for President in 1964 and 1968 as the candidate for the Best Party. Her slogans were "Vote for Yetta and watch things get better" and "Put a mother in the White House."

Her proposals included national bingo, self-fluoridation, placing a suggestion box on the White House fence, and printing a nude picture of Jane Fonda on postage stamps "to ease the post office deficit and also give a little pleasure for six cents to those who can't afford Playboy magazine."

She promised she would staff her cabinet with "people who have failed in life and learned to live with it."

"Why should you vote for me?" her campaignliterature asked. "Think of all the things your mother did for you -- the feeding, changing, washing, ironing, lying for you, crying for you. Now you can pay her back by putting me in office. I will represent all your mothers and act in their behalf for you."

Yetta never made a campaign appearance, conducting the campaign entirely by mail and phone. Nevertheless, the Bronstein for President campaign was widely covered by the media.

The reason for Yetta's lack of personal appearances was that she didn't exist. She was the fictional creation of hoaxer Alan Abel. His wife Jeanne pretended to be Yetta on the phone. Abel used a picture of his own mother as a front for the hoax.

The area consists primarily of desert and low scrub vegetation. While the DTNA was formally closed to vehicles in 1980 under the Desert Conservation Area Plan, the public lands surrounding the DTNA are designated as "limited use" areas, i.e., vehicles are allowed only on existing routes of travel unless otherwise posted. Cross-country and off-trail travel is not permitted.
The DTNA is enclosed by approximately 31 miles of protective fencing which was constructed in 1977 and 1978. The fence is of woven, green steel wire and four-inchit. Prov'd by the Law of Moses.

Jon Gruden sounded a little out of touch when he was hired by the Oakland Raiders in January 2018. His days as the NFL’s boy-wonder coach were two decades in the past, and — after nine years in ESPN’s Monday Night Football booth — he appeared more interested in recreating that prior success than adapting with the changes of the sport.

“I’m trying to throw the game back to 1998,” Gruden told reporters at the NFL Combine last year.

Gruden said he wasn’t going to “rely on GPSes and all the modern technology”; he was going to have a fullback on the team, and he planned on “doing things the old-fashioned way.” The comments drew chuckles, but they turned to laughs at his expense when Oakland went 4-12 in hisfirst season back.

Now, Gruden’s vision is starting to pay off. His throwback approach has created a team that’s winning in the trenches — and now winning games.

The Raiders have found their identity with Josh Jacobs

Oakland already had a lot of beef on the interior of its offensive line when Gruden arrived, with Rodney Hudson, Kelechi Osemele and Gabe Jackson. The Raiders didn’t need a dramatic offensive line makeover, but they still spent a 2018 first-round pick on left tackle Kolton Miller and signed free agents Trent Brown and Richie Incognito in 2019.

The Raiders invested up front hoping to win at the line of scrimmage. The cherry on top was 2019 first-round pick Josh Jacobs, a running back with a bruising blend of explosion and power.

West Valley City • Tim Branham, the new coach and general manager of the Utah Grizzlies, knows what it takes to win an ECHL championship.

For now, he believes his team is good enough to do it.

Branham is a former assistant at Reading, which won the Kelly Cup last season. He was hired by the Grizzlies during the summer and has pieced together a "top-notch" roster.

"It's a hard-working group  blue collar, high character," said Branham. "The leadership and character we have in this group is phenomenal."

Can the Grizzlies duplicate Reading's run to a title?

"The team wehave is good enough," he said. "But you have to remember that so many things happen between now and the end of the season  call-ups, injuries.

"To win a championship at this level, it's all about timing  having that right group in place come playoff time. But to answer the question, yes, the group that we have now is top-notch. They are good."

The Grizzlies open their season of high expectations Friday night at the Maverik Center against Idaho.

Branham's first major decision will involve his goaltenders.

The problem?

He has three who are considered intriguing prospects. They all have their coach's confidence and trust, too.

Ben Meisner won seven of eight starts at the end of last season after signing with the Grizzlies. He also played well in the preseason, Branham


said.

Aaron Dell comes to Utah from Allen (Texas), where he was 22-11-6 last season and helped lead the Americans to the Central Hockey League championship.

Igor Bobkov was Anaheim's third-round pick in the 2009 draft. He went 11-17 last year with the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League.

"I'm not sure who is going to start [against Idaho]," Branham said, shaking his head. "... It's tough, but it's also a good problem to have.

"If it was the other way around and we were scrambling without a No. 1, it would be a bad problem. But we have three No. 1s. That's how I see it."

Another very popular feature of a PVR is the ability to skip lengthy sections in a recording with minimal delay. Often this is used during playback to skip blocks of commercials contained in the recorded program. A number of services have become established around this capability which facilitate locating the boundaries of the blocks of commercials, e.g. by storing the start and end of a block as points in time relative to the beginning of a program as a recording index, thereby enabling the commercials to be automatically skipped during playback.

Since the first lunar missions in the 1960s, the moon has been the object of interest of both scientific research and potential commercial development. During the 1980s, several lunar missions were launched by national space agencies. Interest in the moon is increasing with the advent of the multi-national space station making it possible to stage lunar missions from low earth orbit. However, continued interest in the moon and the feasibility of a lunar base will depend, in part, on the ability
