— Free safety Ed Reed was fairly certain what was about to happen when Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel lined up under center at the Ravens' 1-yard line on the opening drive of the third quarter.
Anticipating a quarterback sneak, Reed pounced on the fumbled exchange between center Ryan Lilja and Cassel and advanced the recovery out of the end zone to the Ravens' 12-yard line.
It was a turning point in the Ravens' 9-6 victory Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, triggering a 10-point swing with the Chiefs not scoring a touchdown and the turnover leading directly to a Baltimore field goal.
"I knew it was a quarterback sneak," Reed said. "Me and Ray [Lewis] were yelling at each other and I saw the ball come out. It hit the center's leg. It was getting kicked around a little bit. I was just thankful to get it because one of their linemen had hit me from the left side.
"He was going to snap it so quick and that's why he probably fumbled it. You just saw it coming. I've seen it so many times with [Tom] Brady, and being that they got a Brady background. Cassel used to be with Brady [in New England]. It was just right there, the gap was open. I'm sure if he doesn't fumble that, it's a touchdown and a different ballgame."
Following an instant replay review, the fumble call was upheld. Afterward, Lilja took the blame.
The Ravens took advantage of the miscue against a team that leads the NFL with 19 turnovers, driving 80 yards in seven plays to set up Justin Tucker's 26-yard field goal to break a 3-3 tie.
"It was big, obviously," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "It was huge. I thought our offense did a great job of capitalizing. It was important in the football game."
Suggs not expected back for Texans game
Injured Ravens Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs isn't expected to return for the Houston Texans game on Oct. 21, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.
The source refuted reports that Suggs was aiming toward that game, characterizing it as unrealistic he would be ready or that the Ravens would risk a setback by allowing him to play. The source added it's
far too soon to know exactly when the NFL Defensive Player of the Year will return from a surgically-repaired partially torn right Achilles tendon.
The source said it's far more likely that Suggs would return sometime in November, perhaps later in that month
Suggs, who led the Ravens with 14 sacks and seven forced fumbles last season, is on the physically unable to perform list for the first six games of the season.
After the first six games, he has a three-week window to begin practicing and be placed on the active roster. If the Ravens want to, though, they could simply activate Suggs regardless of his ability to practice and simply carry him on the roster until he's ready.
It will take time for Suggs to get into optimum playing shape.Cassel knocked out of game
An embattled starter, Cassel suffered a concussion when he got decked by Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata in the fourth quarter.
"You get hit by Haloti Ngata, you will get a concussion," nose guard Ma'ake Kemeatu said.
Cassel was on the ground for several minutes before wobbling off the field with trainers.
It was a devastating hit as the 6-foot-4, 350-pounder had a full head of steam when he crashed into Cassel.
"I knew I hit him hard," Ngata said. "I didn't think I hit him hard enough to take him out."

Does "Breast Milk Baby Doll" Sexualize Children?
A new "breast milk baby doll" is about to make its debut on American toy store shelves ... and it's raising a hefty amount of controversy in the process. With the toy, currently sold in Spain, kids would wear an apron and hold the doll to their chest region, simulating the act of breast-feeding. And get this: the doll even makes sucking noises!
Critics like the Medical A-Team's Dr. Keith Ablow say that the manufacturing and marketing of such a doll is not only ridiculous, it's destructive.
"Little girls aren't even aware
how their secondary sexual characteristics will develop, let alone imitating how they'll be used after childbirth," says Ablow. "This is another way of turning little girls into adults ... it contributes to the sexualization of children and makes them targets of assailants, frankly."
Mommy blogger and parenting expert Jennifer Gottlieb disagrees, saying her own children mimicked her when she breastfed; this doll should be no different. "Children pretend to do what their parents do. It's a part of normal development," she says.
The doll manufacturer issued a statement defending the toy, saying they really don't understand why it's creating such a controversy. Do you? Join the debate, and tell us your thoughts!

The shocking death of last Thursday of Sen. John Francis Whitefield under mysterious circumstance left many legislators and their staffers mourning.
The atmosphere at the Capitol Building, the seat of the Legislature, which is usually characterized by political debates, was virtually quiet last Friday following the stunning news that Sen. Whitefield, who participated in the formal opening of the Legislature on Monday, was dead. He met his demise at the St. Joseph Catholic Hospital in Monrovia on Friday after a short illness.
Majority of the legislators and staffers were seen clustered in circles discussing the mystery behind the sudden death of the Grand Bassa County lawmaker.
Many observers said Sen. Whitefield who was present in Senate plenary Tuesday, shown no symptom of sickness or health disorder. But he was also not looking visibly active as he had demonstrated in pervious seating of the 53rd Legislature.
Even, on the issue of Charles Taylor's letter claiming pension benefits, Sen. Whitfield could not comment on it in the plenary but later spoke to journalists on the matter at his Capitol Building office.
Sen. Gbezohngar Findley (Grand Bassa County), Senate President Pro-Tempore, who said, he was still mourning the "great loss" of his colleague described him as a "closed colleague."
"This is a great loss to us, Sen. Whitefield was a close man to me, he was too close to me," Sen. Findley who spoke in a depressed tone via a telephone interview with this paper said.
For his part, Deputy Speaker Hans Barchue who also hails from Grand Bassa County, the home of the late Whitefield, described him as a "great son" who will be forever remembered in the country.
"The late Sen. John Whitefield has left a vacuum, one that would never be filled by anyone. He was a man who always spoke his mind.
"Indeed, Liberia has lost a great son," said Deputy Speaker Barchue, adding that the people of Bassa were currently mourning the demise of the late Senator.
Deputy Speaker Barchue also told this paper that although government would host a state funeral for the late senator, Grand Bassa County would also hold a special ceremony for the demise of their son.
Sen. Abel Momolu Massally (Grand Capemount County), Sen. Chair on Commerce and Trade, told this paper yesterday that they felt 'downhearted' upon receiving the death message of their colleague.
"The late Sen. Whitfield was a very strong and analytical senator. When it came to the issue of national and international concerns, he discussed and debated them analytically. He was not afraid to speak; he spoke without fear or favour.
"We felt downhearted when we heard about his death. He was also a member of the National Patriotic Party (NPP). He served the NPP with dedication and myth," Sen. Massally said.
Sen. Massally, further describing the late Senator as a "gifted speaker," disclosed that on the first day of the Senate seating following their return from their break, the late Sen. Whitefield appeared "very quiet."
"At the first seating of the senate, he was too quiet. He was very quiet. I don't know why. But he was not too active as he always did in our previous sittings.
"We have lost a very great senator. He was a tough talking senator. He has a gift of talking. We will forever miss him," said Sen. Massally.
Rep. Eugene Fallah Kpakar (Lofa County) said they were "deeply touched" by the demise of the late senator who he described as "the lion of the senate."
"We express that with sound regret. He stood very tall. He was like a lion of the senate. We are however encouraged that his legacy would live on," he said.
Others expressed similar sentiments and feelings over the death of Sen. John F. Whitefield whose remain are currently being deposited at the Samuel Stryker Funeral Home in Sinkor.
The late Whitefield could be remembered amongst his peers for his strict, principle, independent and analytical manner of discussing issues that affected the people.

In Aid of the Myreque is the second quest in the Myreque quest series. After discovering the secret group called the Myreque, the player must now help them move to a new location in Burgh de Rott, where they would be closer to the heart of their vampyre oppressors.
Official descriptionEdit
| After the attack on the Myreque by Vanstrom Klause and with the deaths of both Sani and Harold, Veliaf is counting on you to help. Now that the Myreque freedom fighters' base camp has been revealed, they'll need to move on and set up base somewhere else.
Veliaf has heard of a little known village south of Mort'ton, referred to as 'Burgh de Rott'. This could be just the place to set up operations to strike back against the evil of Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan and his Vampyric overlordship in Morytania. And who knows what other secrets about Morytania and its dark past will be revealed?

Drakan 101Edit
To begin, go behind the pub in Canifis, and down the trapdoor. Go through the secret wall and squeeze past the stalagmite on the east side of the cave. Speak to Veliaf Hurtz inside and ask to join the organisation. Before joining the Myreque though, he needs you to be fully aware of their situation.
He recounts the story of the Seven Priestly Warriors of Saradomin, who fought the vampyric hordes of Lord Drakan a long time ago, defending Misthalin and the rest of the world from an invasion by Morytania forces. They managed to successfully repel Drakan, but feared another such inspired event, thus they blessed the River Salve creating a shield between the lands. The warriors' bodies are said to be buried under the Paterdomus temple, but Veliaf believes one of them, Ivandis Seergaze, who was renowned to somehow effortlessly control Drakan's minions, is buried somewhere inside Morytania.
Shifting BaseEdit
Items needed: At least 1 piece of food, with extra food or a charged druid pouch to protect your food from ghasts, 1-5 buckets and 7 - 9 free inventory spaces.
Veliaf suggests that Ivandis may have had indirect aid from the gods in the form of a weapon which can damage Vampyres and asks you to keep an eye open for said weapon. Moving on to your job, he tells you that the faction wants to move its base of operations to Burgh de Rott, a ghastly town inhabited by the refugees from the Sanguinesti region, the home of the vampyres, and since Vanstrom Klause discovered their hideout in the previous quest. Veliaf also requests you to help build back the town, using the help of the escapees.
Travel to Mort'ton any way you can. The quickest way is to use the trapdoor behind the pub in Canifis, exit through the large wooden doors, and use the swamp boat in Mort Myre, which will bring you right to Mort'ton. If you do not bring a druid pouch, your food is at risk from ghasts.
Once in Mort'ton, head south and over the bridge. You can't pass the gate into Burgh de Rott without permission from the locals; speak to Florin on the other side, who complains that protecting themselves from the vampyres and the ghasts has left them tired and hungry, which in turn has made them paranoid - the reason why any outsider is thought to be a vampyre in disguise, come to steal their food and blood. He cannot be convinced to trust you in any way, so you will have to look around. There is a chest just outside the gate - examining it yields the message that it was once stocked with food. Put any piece of food in and the townsfolk will let you enter, accepting your offering.
TIP: If you did not bring food, you can walk to the north-western corner or Mor'ton and kill a snail, and cook its meat on a fire made out of wood cut from a nearby tree.
Myreque HQEdit
Ask any villager about "any 'out of the way' places", and they will direct you to the basement of the dilapidated pub, just south of the gate. They tell you that the inn basement could be operable if you cleared out the rubble. Climb over the small wall in the pub to get to the trapdoor, and then mine the rubble there to clear it, by using a pickaxe on it.
Climb down the trapdoor and enter the basement. The entire room is filled with piles of rubble; you must mine each heap and use a spade on what is left to fill your buckets. If you forgot a bucket, there is one by the water pump at the town entrance. There are 15 piles of rubble to remove in total and you may find that you need to make several trips. Do not clear more piles of rubble than you can remove with a bucket, because if you leave the room you'll have to re-mine the rubble piles that you did not clear out into a bucket. The buckets can only be emptied on the pile of rubble upstairs, next to the pub, or anywhere outside the town. You can also drop the fully filled buckets on the ground in the basement if you have more empty buckets.
One bucket holds 3 piles of rubble, although you may also find broken glass, rocks, and 21 nails (bronze to mithril), as well as a plaster fragment and a dusty scroll with a letter in it. The fragment depicts Morytania and the Seven Warriors, one holding a silvthrill rod and the Guthix balance potion that was used to fight some dark creatures; the letter on the scroll is written by Sialathin and addressed to Lantania, both citizens of Hallowvale, about preparing an escape.
Once all piles are cleared, your attention will be directed to a plaque on the wall. Read it - it mentions Queen Efaritay and her hallowed children. Keep the nails, since you'll need them later, and discard the rest.
After clearing the basement, go and talk to a villager again. They will accept your help to patch up the town, and will mention that you can start with the town's general store.
Basic AmenitiesEdit
Items needed: 6 planks, 24 nails, 10 bronze hatchets, either 10 raw mackerels or 10 snails (depends on what the store owner wants), and 3 tinderboxes. Get a couple of extra of each item to save bank trips, as the store will sell out an item every few seconds.
Tip: If you've permanently rejuvenated Razmire, you may wish to note your bronze hatchets and snails/mackerel to sell and re-buy from his store, preventing an extra trip to a bank. You can also bring a weapon to kill snails, or fish for the food that the store owner asks you for.
Speak with Aurel in the general store to the east and he tells you that you first need to repair the roof and the walls of the shop. If you have completed Shades of Mort'ton, you can go to Mort'ton shop and buy a few planks.
You'll need six normal planks to repair the shop, as well as some nails. Climb the ladder outside the store, and repair the roof by using a plank on the damaged part; repeat on the damaged wall next to the store door. When you've repaired the shop, talk to Aurel again - he wants the store stocked before he can open it. He gives you a crate in which to put the resources he requires; note that all items must be un-noted to be put in the crate. Aurel requires:
- 10 bronze hatchets
- 3 tinderboxes
- 10 raw mackerel or raw snails of any kind - Aurel lets you know which ones to collect
The snails can be found near the north-western entrance to Mort'ton and there are big net fishing spots south of the Burgh de Rott bank. If you didn't bring these with you, you'll have to go to a bank now - the Mort'ton general store sells tinderboxes if you need any. Once you're done, go back to Aurel and return the stocked crate. The town general store is now up for business. He suggests you help fix the bank, since it's been broken for a long time.
Items needed: 5 planks, 20 nails, 2 steel bars, 1 swamp paste and 1 coal.
Talk to Cornelius near the bank to the south. He asks you to repair it. You need 5 planks and 1 piece of swamp paste, as well as 20 nails - you can buy the planks and paste at Razmire Builders' Merchants if you need them (after completing Shades of Mort'ton quest). First, repair the teller window by using a plank on the second panel from the left, and then repair the wall at the back of the bank and speak to Cornelius again. When he tells you that the bank requires a manager, ask him if he would fancy the job, which he gladly accepts. From this point, the bank is available even if you don't complete the quest.
Talk to anyone in the village and they'll request you to fix the furnace. Take 2 steel bars and 1 coal and head to the furnace in the south-east side of the town. Examining the broken furnace leads you to the conclusion that it is made of steel, so use the steel bars on it, fuelling it with the coal and finally, light the furnace.
A cutscene then plays, showing a man named Gadderanks and two bodyguards conversing with Vanstrom Klause about blood tithes and how they are becoming insufficient for the vampyres. Apparently, he cannot reach the required quota as Canifis is already paying more than they originally agreed to and Mort'ton is just full of zombies. At that point, Vanstrom smells the smoke from the furnace you just lit. The vampyres have discovered the location of Burgh de Rott - the last free settlement in Morytania! He threatens Gadderanks, saying that a new source for tithes has appeared and that he must meet up with his blood quota, before flying off.
Last WordsEdit
After the cutscene, you will need to prepare for a fight with the silver sickle (b) or another silver weapon, like the Silverlight, Darklight, Wolfbane dagger or a blessed hatchet from Animal Magnetism, as they are all made of silver.
Silver bolts fired from a crossbow will not affect the vampyre juvinates.
Go to the general store and speak with Gadderanks who has set up shop in the store, and is about to have Wiskit tithed. Speak with Gadderanks, Wiskit, and one of the Juvinates, and Gadderanks will try to kill you for interfering! He is level 58 and attacks by whacking you with his warhammer; defeat him and his lackeys. Mid-way through the battle, Veliaf will appear to help you.
If you do not have any silver weapon to produce for this battle, Veliaf can extinguish both Vampyre Juvinates on his own. However, prayer and food may be necessary as this could take some time and you will not be able to inflict damage without a silver weapon.
After gaining victory over them, you find that Gadderanks still has some breath in him; talk to him. He will tell you of the vampyres' weaknesses, referring to the Guthix balance potion that you read about in the fragment, and asks you to find his family, the reason why he had been supporting the vampyres, then finally dies. You will get his hammer from Aurel, which is similar to a granite maul but stronger against shades. Talk to Veliaf and he will tell you to meet him back at the hideout in The Hollows.
The VanguardEdit
Items needed: A silver weapon - silver sickle (b), Silverlight or Darklight, and your steel armour.
Use the Canifis bank or the now-accessible Burgh de Rott bank to stock up for the upcoming fights if you are not prepared already. Followers such as summoning familiars and pets are not allowed during this portion of the quest.
Go back to Veliaf at the hideout below the Canifis pub and talk to him again. He will have you talk to Radigad and Polmafi to have them head to the Burgh de Rott hideout, but wants you to escort Ivan Strom to the Paterdomus temple because the mission is becoming too dangerous for the young, aspiring priest.
Bring armour and a silver weapon; players may also choose to bring a Guthix balance potion for the fight against the juvinates. Lower-levelled players may also take some armour, food, and weapon for Ivan, but remember that you will not get any of them back; talk to Polmafi Fedigris and Radigad Ponfit first, and after that "use" a steel chainbody, steel platelegs, steel helm and a silver sickle on Ivan, who will accept your gifts and wear it under his robes. You may also provide food to him before you start; Ivan only likes "Cooked snails, salmon, Cooked slimy eel or stew" and he can carry up to 15 food items. Once the trip is underway, you cannot give Ivan any additional food or armour.
Speak to Ivan, who has already been briefed by Veliaf and is ready to go. You must now choose between two routes - a long and short one - through the Mort Myre swamp. You will be attacked on both routes; on the short route, you will fight 2 level 68 juvinates, while on the long route you will be attacked by four level 56 ones. The short route is probably easier than the long route because the juvinates are easier to block from Ivan; for the most part, Ivan is fairly safe, so just focus on killing the juvinates.
Note: If your combat level is too low or you do not feel like killing the juvinates, a Guthix balance potion will work for these juvinates - but just for this quest.
Priestly WarriorEdit
Items needed: A piece of Soft clay, a silver bar, a mithril bar, a cut sapphire, cosmic rune, water rune (runes unnecessary if using an Enchant Level 1 Jewellery tablet), rope.
Once you escort Ivan to safety, you will part ways in front of the entrance to the temple. Go down the ladder into the temple and talk to Drezel. You need to talk about Veliaf's insights on Ivandis and his enchanted rod, but you will make him upset by asking for proof of the burial. He, as a devout follower of Saradomin, is convinced that Ivandis Seergaze was buried with his six companions and believes Veliaf to be erring on the matter. Work on his sympathy, mentioning the risk to those poor souls left in Morytania to allow you to investigate. When you are successful, you will get the temple library key from him.
The secret library is under the same room as Drezel. There is a keyhole in the east wall, which will open a trapdoor in the floor. Go down into the library and search the bookshelves to get the ancient tome, a battered tome and a leather book. Study them all carefully.
The leather book is called Modern Day Morytania and describes Morytania geographically, mentioning Canifis, the Castle of the Northern Lords, Port Phasmatys, Mort Myre Swamp, The Hollows, the Mort Ridge Mines, Mort'ton, the Haunted Woods, Burgh de Rott, even Meiyerditch, Darkmeyer and finally Castle Drakan. The battered tome, named Histories of the Hallowland, describes the history of Hallowvale, the former name for Morytania. The one you want is the ancient tome, called The Sleeping Seven, which speaks of the tomb of Ivandis, along with his possessions.
Go to the basement south of the bar in Canifis, and go through the secret wall. Near the wall, on the east side wall of the long cavern, there should be some boarded up area. Break the boards to reveal a secret entrance. You must read the three books or you won't be able to break the board. Go in the cave to find Ivandis' final resting place.
The Rod of IvandisEdit
Use a piece soft clay on the top of the tomb to get a rod clay mould. Be careful, the default option is mould, so make sure to right click and use the clay on the tomb. Once you've made the mould, go to a furnace (it is recommended to use the Lumbridge furnace, as it is only a few paces away from the Lumbridge lodestone) and use a silver bar, mithril bar, and sapphire on it to make a Silvthrill rod. Enchant it using Enchant Level 1 Jewellery.
Take the enchanted Silvthrill rod and a rope back to Paterdomus. Inside the temple, use the rod on the well at the centre, with a rope in your inventory, to create a fully charged Rod of Ivandis. Be sure NOT to use any of the charges or you will need to make another, as Veliaf will only accept one that is fully charged. Take the Rod of Ivandis to the cellar of the Burgh de Rott pub, and give it to Veliaf.

Zenit St Petersburg couldn't break an unlucky streak for Russian clubs in the Champions League, losing to AC Milan in a thriller at the Pertovsky stadium.
Luciano Spaletti's charges were stunned early int the game as they found themselves trailing 2-0 after just a quarter of an hour. Urby Emanuelson made use of a deflection off a set piece to open the score and Stephan El Shaarawy doubled his team's lead in the next attack.
The poor beginning awoke Zenit as they managed to change the run of play later on and took full control of the game. The Milan side should thank their captain Cristian Abiatti, who a clean sheet until the end of the first half, when Hulk finally broke the deadlock for Zenit.
And the hosts leveled things on the pitch early in the second half through Poman Shirokov, who converted Hulk's cross from the corner.
Zenit continued to increase pressure on Milan but were made to pay for their wastage 15 minutes from time. Milan made the most of Zenit's mistake near their box as Tomas Hubocan netted an own goal.
Spaletti tried to change things on the pitch bringing on two more forwards in the dying minutes of play, but it was to no avail.
The Russian champions have failed to find their form after losing 3-0 to Malaga in their Group C opener and have no points after two games, the same outlook facing another Russian team in the Champions League, Spartak Moscow.
The St Pete side have also been disappointing in the Russian Premier League -where they currently lie sixth.
The result leaves Zenit bottom of Group C. Malaga are top after their 3-0 demolition of Anderlecht.
Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo got his first hat-trick in the competition as Real Madrid trounced Ajax 4-1 in Amsterdam. It's his second hat-trick in a week, and warms him up nicely for the clash with Barcelona at the weekend. It also puts Real top of Group D with two wins from two.
Borussia Dortmund are next after conceding an unobvious late penalty to Manchester City to draw 1-1 in England.
Arsenal have also made it two wins from two. They got a 3-1 home victory over Olympiakos of Greece. They now top Group B after Schalke 04 and Montpellier drew 2-2.
Big-spending PSG lost at Porto 1-0 as James Rodriguez scored the only goal in the 83rd minute. The result puts the Portugeuse outfit top of Aroup A. Dynamo Kiev are tied with PSG on three points after their 2-0 win over Dynamo Zagreb.

Cate Le Bon is a singer-songwriter from Cardiff, Wales, who sings in both English and Welsh.
She first gained public attention when she supported Gruff Rhys (of the Super Furry Animals) on his 2007 solo UK tour,. She has since played Glastonbury, Latitude and the Green Man Festival. She appeared as a guest vocalist on Neon Neon's 2008 single 'I Lust U' (from their album Stainless Style). Her first official release came in the form of a Welsh EP, Edrych Yn Llygaid Ceffyl Benthyg which was released on Peski records. She recently released the double A-side debut single No One Can Drag Me Down/Disappear (described by Gruff Rhys as "Bobbie Gentry and Nico fight over a Casio keyboard; melody wins!"), taken from her forthcoming album Pet Deaths. Le Bon worked alongside Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's Megan Childs, who contributed violin, and Super Furry Animals and The Thrills collaborator John Thomas, who added pedal steel.
Le Bon is most singled out by critics for her dark lyrical content, and her "haunting voice." Le Bon claims that "Early experiences with a string of pet deaths had a profound lasting effect on me," and inform her her self-admitted "abnormal fixation with death."

$10.99 fab cab alert
By asoglin
Friday, January 19th, 2007 at 9:45 am in Uncategorized.
This weather is perfect for hearty cabs and syrahs. And boy have I find one. I'm constantly impressed with the quality, value and sustainability of bottles from the Mendocino Wine Company, and the Big Yellow Cab is no different. The cherries are dry, not bright and jammy, there's smoky cigar, earth and herbs and the finish is long. This wine would stand up to some of the spices in my mom's Persian stews. Chipotle in Mexican food and red pepper-based pasta sauces can also take the heat. I absolutely love the North Coast terroir of this wine and how it's good to go right out of the bottle. At only $10.99, I'll be likely to hail this cab again and again.

The well-received 1st summit last year has paved the way for the second 2014 edition. While the 2013 event explored sustainable growth opportunities, this year it will spotlight on 'Empowering Consumers with Choice in Fast Changing Myanmar'!
This May summit will be inaugurated by His Excellency Aung Kyi, Union Minister of Information with an opening keynote address on 'Socially Responsible Media Code for Myanmar'.

The Distance Education Council (DEC) of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has been broken up. The University Grants Commission has been handed all regulatory responsibilities of the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) education system by the Human Resource Development Ministry.
A UGC notification, dated May 28 clearly states "Pursuant to notification dated May 4 issued by the IGNOU, statute 28 of IGNOU Act 1985 dealing with the DEC has been repealed and deleted with immediate effect. Accordingly, DEC of IGNOU stands dissolved".
Appropriate regulations for maintaining standards in ODL programmes/courses are being created by the UGC which has also stated to the press that "In view of the above, wherever applicable, universities may kindly ensure that no further affiliations/approvals are granted to any new centre for ODL programmes/courses till such regulations are notified and come into force,".
The DEC was created under the IGNOU Act and was responsible for promotion and coordination of the open university and distance education system and determination of its standards in the country.
UGC officials have stated that "Shifting of DEC from IGNOU to UGC is a good move in the interest of open distance learning programme in the country. With ODL emerging as powerful and sought after mode of learning in today's age of globalisation, the empowered body like UGC could govern the affairs effectively,".
The UGC is the only grant-giving agency in the country which has two responsibilities providing funds and of coordination along with determination and preservation of standards in institutions of higher education.
A letter to the Vice Chancellors of all universities by the UGC Secretary Akhilesh Gupta says The HRD Ministry has entrusted all the regulatory responsibilities of the ODL education system in the country upon UGC. The UGC in the meantime, is working on development of appropriate regulations for maintaining standard in ODL programmes.
Akhilesh Gupta has directed all universities to desists from granting further affiliation or approval to new centres for ODL programmes till ther new regulations come into force.
Former Vice Chancellor of University of Madras, SP Thyagarajan spoke to the press saying The council is the regulatory body for the distance education programmes in the country. If one of the universities is going to be operating the council itself, there may not be uniform maintenance of standards. Ideally, an independent council should review every programme offered in all institutions.

Yes. All prospective annual and life members need to provide details of a referee who could be contacted by the Library if required, but this is the only pre-requisite for membership.
No, it is not necessary to know someone who is already a member; the referee should simply be someone to whom the applicant is known personally (but not someone living at the same address) whose position can be verified (e.g. a current member of the Library, an academic, a member of a professional association).
No; the Library welcomes all applications for membership.
Yes; prospective members are always welcome to come to look round the Library and see the facilities. Please ask at reception at any time that is convenient for you.
The Library is an independent charity and is financed entirely from membership subscriptions, donations and the prudent management of its capital resources. It receives no government or statutory funding.
You can join via this website or request an application form from the Library. Applications will be submitted to the Librarian for authorisation and should be processed within one week.
No. A limited numbers of Temporary Reference Tickets are available to individuals needing short-term access to Library materials not elsewhere readily accessible.
No; all applications for annual membership are submitted for authorisation by the Librarian. Once the application has been authorised and payment arranged, the applicant may start using the Library. Please allow up to a week for the application to be processed.
Yes; the application must still include details of a referee, but the recipient can if necessary confirm their acceptance of the terms of membership on their first visit to the Library so that the gift can be a surprise.
There is no membership related specifically to student status, but any applicant aged 16 to 24 may take out full membership of the Library at a special reduced rate. In addition, the London Library Trust offers Carlyle Membership to any members and prospective members aged over 24 who need to make use of the Library but for whom the full subscription would be a real barrier to membership. Assistance normally covers 30%, or in exceptional cases 60% of the annual subscription.
No, but see the previous answer concerning Carlyle Membership.
The subscription may be paid in annual, quarterly or monthly instalments and by a variety of payment methods. Please see the application forms for further details.
Members are welcome to introduce prospective members to the Library, or to bring a visitor for a short tour of the Library. For fire and security purposes all visitors must sign in at Reception and must remain with the member at all times.
There are approximately 1 million volumes in total in the Library's collection; all books and periodicals are housed on-site at 14 St James's Square.
The subject range is mainly within the humanities, and the collection is particularly strong in history, literature (including fiction), biography, art, philosophy, religion and related fields. Textbooks on technology, business, law and medicine are not within the Library's scope, although material on the history of all of these subjects is held.
Yes; approximately 8,000 volumes are added to the Library each year across all of the subject areas of the collections (see above). Members are invited to make suggestions for books to be acquired by the Library.
The Library maintains current subscriptions to approximately 850 periodicals and also holds extensive collections of nineteenth- and twentieth-century journals and magazines. Most back numbers of periodicals - excluding the most recent issues - are available for loan.
The vast majority of the stock is on open shelves to which members have free access; a small number of rarer or more fragile items are available only on request.
Almost all Library materials may be borrowed.
Personal members living in London are entitled to an initial basic allowance of 10 volumes on loan at any time; country members (ie those living more than 20 miles from the Library) are allowed 15 volumes. For small supplementary fees these allowances may be increased, in blocks of 5 volumes, to a total maximum of 40 volumes.
Books may be kept on loan for one month, or longer if not recalled by another member. After two months loans should be renewed (online or by email, telephone, letter or fax): it is not necessary to bring books to the Library in order to renew them. New books (acquired in the last four months) may be kept for two weeks.
Yes; there are terminals in the Reading Rooms giving access to the Internet at no extra charge; wireless access is also available for those who have a laptop with wireless capability.
A growing range of subscription electronic reference works, databases and e-journal titles (including Jstor) are available both at the Library and to members using their computers at home.
The catalogue of all materials acquired since 1950 is available for consultation via this website. Details of the older parts of the collection are constantly being added to the online catalogue. For full coverage of pre-1950 acquisitions it is necessary to consult also the printed catalogues in the Library. Copies of these are also available in the reference collections of many major public and academic libraries.
Yes; there are three Reading Rooms where laptops can be used at all the desks, and there are tables in the bookstacks where laptops can also be used.
There is a level entrance into the Library from Mason's Yard and a platform lift may be used from that entrance to the Reception area. A wheelchair-accessible passenger lift transports members to most parts of the building, but some of the older historic parts are only reachable by stairs. Staff are happy to retrieve books for members on request and can do this ahead of your visit so that materials are ready for consultation as soon as you arrive. Accessible toilets are provided in the Basement of the building, and an induction loop is installed in the Issue Hall. If you have particular access-related queries please contact Reception who will be happy to help.
There is a members' room on the 6th floor of the Library where members may eat their sandwiches; a coffee machine is provided.
A cycle shed is currently provided next to the Mason's Yard entrance. Please enquire at Reception for further details.
