Women who were raped during the wars in Bosnia and Croatia deserve justice, redress and reparation, concluded round tables on victims' rights in Sarajevo and the Croatian city of Vukovar.
Lejla Mamut, from the Swiss human rights NGO, TRIAL, said at the Sarajevo round table that the Bosnian government should ensure that each victim of war, especially victims of sexual violence, have access to justice.
"Victims must have a right to free legal aid and support. They also require information from the judicial institutions about what is happening with their case. Bosnia has achieved progress, but there is still more to be done," said Mamut.
But Croatia has even more to do, according to the permanent representative of the UNDP programme in Croatia, Louisa Vinton. Speaking at the Vukovar round table 'Sexual violence in war', she said that the current Croatian laws do not provide adequate justice for the victims.
Vinton emphasized that rape was used as a weapon to frighten and humiliate the enemy during the wars in the former Yugoslavia.
"It is necessary to restore victims' dignity, which is possible only by punishing the perpetrators," Vinton said.
Several Croatian war rape victims said at the Vukovar round table that they had given their testimony to police several times, but that nothing happened and nobody was prosecuted.
"Raped women have already given their statements to the police, but those statements are missing. I personally talked to the media several years ago about my rape, but nobody official ever asked me anything," one of the victims said.
"We cannot expect raped women to walk from door to door and talk about what happened to them. That's the duty of society," said Marija Sliskovic from the Women in Homeland War association, which claims that Croatian society is irresponsible towards war rape victims.
In Sarajevo, Bozidarka Dodik and Ibro Bulic, the Bosnian State prosecutors, Alma Taso-Deljkovic, head of the witness support program for the Bosnian Court and Sabiha Husic, from Medica Zenica, talked about their work with female victims of sexual violence, who appear as protected witnesses.
Representatives of the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina said that quality work with protected witnesses requires more funding than they have available.
The Sarajevo round table took place on April 4, and was organized by the Swiss Track Impunity Always organisation, TRIAL, Medica Zenica and the International criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY.
The Vukovar round table was held a day earlier, and was organized by the UN and the Vukovar city administration, under the auspices of the Croatian president Ivo Josipovic.
Prior to both round tables, the participants were shown a documentary called 'Sexual violence and the Triumph of Justice', made by the ICTY Outreach Programme.
"The goal of this film is to show facts which have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, especially at a time where court facts are being negated daily," said Nerma Jelacic, an ICTY spokesperson, in Sarajevo.
The screening of the ICTY documentary and round tables will continue during April and May in Tuzla, Mostar and Prijedor, and then Serbia.

Integrated petrochemicals and plastics supplier Repsol says it will invest in its Puertollano, Spain site to increase the production capacity there of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA). The new production unit will be able to produce 15,000 tonnes/yr, with the possibility to achieve vinyl acetate (VA) contents exceeding 35%. Puertollano also is home to the Puertollano Photovoltaic Park, the fourth largest photovoltaic power station in the world.
According to a recent report, while as yet comprising a small fraction of the world's electricity-generating capacity, solar photovoltaics is the fastest growing electricity-generation technology in the world. The cost of photovoltaics has declined steadily since the first solar cells were manufactured. Plastic films can be used to encapsulate and protect solar cells from the elements.
Repsol (Madrid, Spain) plans its investment for the second half of this year. This EVA capacity increase is one of a series of investments planned for Repsol's Puertollano production facility, says the supplier....

Sausage Making with Fatted Calf
As long as man has been stuffing ground anonymous bits of pork into other unmentionable parts of the pig, he has also been pairing it with beer. Beer and sausage are such a natural pairing that it's the gold standard of baseball games and most Anthony Bourdain "No Reservations" episodes. We decided to up the ante a bit in the sausage and beer game, and paired up with Taylor of Fatted Calf to do it.
Taylor tasted our new Biere de Mars with Fennel and almost instantly knew what he wanted to do with it. Building on the fennel base already in the beer, he created a lightly smoked cooked salami that layer beer and fennel on top of the natural sweetness of the pork. Finally the stuffed salami is lightly smoked and steamed in the beer for one last layer of beer-goodness.
Sliced thin on a crostini with a small salad it's a great accompaniment to the beer, puling out the earthy fennel flavors and bitter backbone. Available this spring at the SF & Napa Fatted Calf stores.
Here is how he made it:

Using its immigration authority, the Commonwealth has created an economy that relies upon the wholesale importation of low-paid, short-term indentured workers. Foreign workers pay up to $7,000 to employers or middlemen for the right to a job in the CNMI. When they finally reach the Commonwealth, they are assigned to tedious, low paying work for long hours with little or no time off. At night they are locked in prison-like barracks. If they complain, they are subject to immediate deportation at the whim of their employer. Some arrive in the islands only to find that they were victims of an employment scam. There are no jobs waiting for them, and no way to work off their bondage debt.The piece goes on to describe how a bill to rectify this situation, passed unanimously by the Senate in 2000, was derailed by the radical corporatists in the House. Neither of my Senators is on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, so, having lived in Washington State for many years, I wrote to Maria Cantwell:
Dear Ms. Cantwell, I write to you as a former Washingtonian (UW 1978) because I do not have a senator on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. In any case, the issue I want to address transcends state politics. I refer to the issues covered in the provisions of Senate Bill 1634, specifically the treatment of workers in the
Mariana Islands. The documented cases of fraud, indentured servitude, physical abuse, and sexual exploitation of legal immigrants on soil must be addressed and such actions stopped. The Senate unanimously passed such a bill in 2000, but it was derailed by the right-wing radicals in the House, led by the now-discredited Tom DeLay using the illegal special interest money paid by convicted political corrupter Jack Abramoff. We as a country con now begin to heal this moral wound in the body politic. Please, Senator, don't just support S. 1634, become its champion. This is not an issue the news media is likely to pay attention to and you will be unlikely to receive the thanks of a grateful public, but you will receive my thanks, and, more important, the thanks of the suffering and exploited indentured workers of the Mariana Islands. US
Take a couple of minutes this morning & write to a member of the committee. If a senator from your state sits on the Committee, so much the better, but this is not a local issue. There are plenty of horrors in the world & this is only one horror -- one to which very few people are paying attention -- but you have to start somewhere. Use what's left of our representative government to make a positive difference, however small, in the world.

Once a stray who had been thoughtlessly doused with green paint, today one lucky Lab is enjoying The View of life as a cherished member of a famous talk show co-host's family.
Sherri Shepherd revealed to PeoplePets.com that she recently welcomed three-year-old Ashley (now known as Chloe) into her heart and home. Going on a search for her Spot on Petfinder.com, the daytime star had her mind set on a black Lab– dogs bring back memories of a beloved childhood pet and whose adoption chances are few due to Black Dog Syndrome.
Pooches on the Move, a licensed transport which takes rescued tail-waggers from the East Coast to their new forever pet parents, brought Shepherd's barking buddy from Baker Bridge Rescue in Charleston, Tennessee to her new doggedly devoted guardian.
Like all proud pet parents, Sherri Shepherd is sharing snapshots of her new family member via Twitter:
Got Ashley (new name Chloe) from @moovinpooches – so excited twitpic.com/bk2fgu

"I am extremely satisfied with the amazing job that Mark Dykes has done on our timber floors. In a single day his team completely sanded and oiled our floors with minimal dust or disruption and to a very high quality. The result is superb and we are very happy we selected Mark to undertake the work. Unfortunately a leak was caused by another contractor which resulted in one of the new floors boards being lifted. We are very grateful for Mark who came back to fit the floor board at very at short notice although he was very busy at the time. Because of his generosity we have been able to move into our new property when we intended. Many thanks to Mark and his team for a fantastic job."

Catch up on all 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' dish from this week — including sex scenes and set drama!
There's been a flurry of Fifty Shades Of Grey scoop this week. The steamy flick is picking up steam ... though it hasn't necessarily been completely smoothly.
First up, The Daily Mail nabbed shots of the crew shooting at Clayton's Hardware Store, the location of Ana Steele's (Dakota Johnson) part-time job during college and the spot where Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) first sees her after she awkwardly interviews him for her pal's school newspaper article.
Johnson and Dornan reportedly get along beautifully, with Dornan even acting pretty protective over his on-screen love interest. Aw!
But not everyone involved with the Fifty Shades movie is so friendly with one another. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson and Fifty Shades Of Grey author E.L. James are reportedly at one another's throats. A source dished, "Sam is getting annoyed about the way the script is being handled. E.L. James wants the movie to match the book exactly, but Sam has a different perspective. Sam is reminding E.L. she writes books and she makes movies. This has caused some tension between the two of them."
There have been a few other hiccups. Vancouver locals are said not to be too thrilled with the sexually charged film being shot there, especially scenes with artificial rain. They're allegedly firing back, with an on-set insider telling Contact Music, "Neighbors at the building were upset over the noise and water flying everywhere. An older man continued to ruin scenes by opening his window and shaking a cowbell. He did not stop until they came to some sort of a resolution with producers." The source added, "Another person in the building told production that if any water comes into his house, they will have to pay for the water damage. Residents are not happy with them shooting there. Eventually they met halfway with the cowbell resident — they had to move the rain machine to another location."
One thing that may not have been filmed? The raunchiest, explicit sex scenes that Fifty Shades Of Grey fans love. Rumor has it the smut will be toned down from explicit scenes to erotica. That's better than nothing, right? Though maybe that's the source of Taylor-Johnson and James' bickering.

At one time or another three peoples inhabited the area. At first the Tewa, a group of Native Americans who were here from the beginning of the 13th century. They occupied pueblos, four of which, Ohkay Owingeh, Pojoaque, Santa Clara and San Ildefonso, are located near the city. Next the Spanish came to the area only to be driven out by the Tewa around 1680 and then return a few years later. When New Mexico was annexed by the United States as a result of the Mexican-American war, settlers began arriving and added their cultural influence to the two previous ones. Around 1878 when the railroad reached New Mexico there was a significant increase in the trade and migration from the Eastern United States. Be sure see Plaza de Espanola with Mision Museum y Convento. The Mision Museum is a a replica of the church built the Spanish at the San Gabriel settlement at the end of the 16th century. The museum is replete with original artwork in the form of traditional church decoration from the past four centuries and displays the coats-of-arms of the Spanish surnamed settlers who came to the Española Valley around 1598.

Ashley Tisdale is a certifiable Disney Channel star. Mention her name to a 10-year-old girl, or either her show "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody'' or the mega-hit movie she co-stars in, "High School Musical,'' and cover your ears. The shrieks will go on for 22 seconds. (I timed my kid.)For real wailing, mention the sequel comes out next year.
At the ABC party Wednesday night, Tisdale was hanging near her "Suite Life'' co-star Brenda Song (who headlined the Disney Channel movie "Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior''), and Miley Cyrus, star of the channel's "Hannah Montana.'' The Cheetah Girls were nearby.This was fifth grade nirvana.
The young women — polite and funny and speaking at a speed that defies the properties of sound (and I'm originally from Long Island) — talked about their unexpected success.
"It's crazy. When I started `Suite Life' it was just kind of a starting point,'' said Tisdale, who previously appeared in pilots for other networks that hadn't made the air. "Once I got `Suite Life,' I got this great fan base. When I did `High School Musical,' never in a million years did I think it would be that huge.
"We just had so much fun doing it,'' the 21-year-old said. "It's kind of cheesy to say, but there is a magic to this whole thing.
"Because I'm on the Disney Channel people think it was automatically given to me, and I didn't have to audition. I did have to audition, (and) they didn't think I was right for the character Sharpay.
"Maybe I won them over, I guess. And it's just so cool. The whole cast, we were all kind of unknown except for people we meet from `Suite Life.'"
Expectations were modest, Tisdale said.
We were like, `OK, this could be great for the channel. This could be a great Disney Channel movie.' It took us all by surprise.
"We knew the music was good, but not for Billboard (chart) status. (No. 1). No, not at all.
"People don't think kids buy things. Obviously, they buy into everything. It's a huge market. Our fans were the most powerful part of the process.
"And the music was so positive; it had great messages. The producers were excellent: There is a little bit of pop, a little bit of a Spanish twist – all over the board. It hit kind of every single thing."
Even Tisdale gets caught up in the movie.
"I don't watch the movie all the time. I went to the premiere … but I was with my girlfriend the other night watching it on the Disney Channel. But I hadn't seen it in so long. You just get into it again. You miss seeing it.
The next installment of the monster hit comes next year. Tisdale will only offer a hint about the film.
"People are waiting for the sequel. It will come out next summer. We start (filming) Jan. 29. I think it's going to be as good or even better. People say the first one is like the new `Grease.' I have a feeling this one will be the new `Dirty Dancing,' if that gives you a hint."
Ask for her two signature characters, Maddie Fitzpatrick ("Suite Life") and Sharpay Evans, she draws from both, but says she's much more like Maddie.
"Definitely Maddie. People say Sharpay was the mean girl … but there is one thing I can relate to: Her drive and love to perform. That is something I can take from Shapay.
"But Maddie: Maddie is a little bit more sarcastic, but she is more like me. I'm a little bit more down to Earth, the girl next door. I've been working really hard, and it has not come easy. And I actually worked at the mall when I was in high school. Maddie works at the candy counter and goes to school.
Song, 18, is equally surprised by her success. "When the `Suite Life' came out, we all didn't think anybody would like the show. We were just working on something we love to do, something we put a lot of hard work into."
Cyrus, 13, laughed, morphing into fan mode. "I watched your show before mine came out, and when I met her I was, `Ah cool.' Then I was like `Omigod, I met Brenda.' ''
These are actors, but are still young women giddy to meet their favorites.
"I met Kelly Clarkson the other night,'' Cyrus says.
"Omigod,'' Song says. "I would have cried.''
"Oh, I met Johnny Depp,'' Song says. "I almost died. He bumped into my mom. I almost fainted.
The weird thing is they get the adulation themselves from, like, Omigod, the 10-year-old who lives in my house.
"Yeah, of course,'' Cyrus says. "You know, that's the thing we totally understand and expect. When they come up for autographs, you can't say no. We know what it's like.''
Cyrus has a 12-year-old brother who is also benefiting from the "Hannah Montana'' fandom.
"There were like five girls at my house the other day. Yeah, they just came over.''

Kim came upon homeopathy 20 years ago during a serious illness. Conventional medicine and naturopathy weren't working. To her surprise (and that of her doctors) homeopathy did!
She began to explore the topic with a passion. When she read the "Science of Homeopathy", it stirred her soul so deeply that it changed the course of her life.
In 1994, she helped found the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy, one of North America's most respected schools of classical homeopathy, where she taught and mentored many of our city's homeopaths.
As a classical homeopath, she's helped countless others discover the freedom of total health.
Today she's on the board of the Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy in the U.S. She also sits on the board of Side-by-Side Homeopathy and volunteers for Project Somos Children's Village in Guatemala.
One day, while sitting in a waiting room, Laurie picked up a book and fell in love. It was a copy of Kent's "Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy". That was over 35 years ago.
Since then, she's studied, taught and lectured about homeopathy. She's also dedicated her life to its practice. In her words, "I see remarkable transformations all the time, sometimes several in one day."
Laurie has been a teacher at the Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy in Minnesota for over 20 years. She also taught at the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy during its reign. In addition, she's shared successful case stories to audiences the world over – England, Germany, Switzerland and India among the destinations.
That book — "Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy" — changed her life. Over the years, it also helped her change the lives of others.
Tina spent over 20 years as a nurse working in hospitals here and abroad. The frustration of watching patients suffer from chronic illness, and not get better, led her to search for something better. She found it in homeopathy when her daughter took ill with chickenpox. She's since become an avid student and practitioner.
Tina graduated from the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy in 2009 with a focus on treating families. She then attended post-graduate studies in paediatric homeopathy with Dr. Sunil Anand. She has extensive experience in adolescent care. She also continues to expand on her knowledge by pursuing an interest in orthopaedic, trauma, cardiology and respiratory medicines.
On her free time, Tina volunteers with Side-by-Side Homeopathy, an organization that provides free homeopathic care to women in the Downtown Eastside.
Lianne has always had a calling for alternative medicine. She began her career as a Chiropractor and then a Naturopath. However, once she discovered homeopathy, it was a passion she had to pursue. In fact, she did so — vigorously.
Lianne studied her craft at the Hahnemann Homeopathic College in Berkeley, the Dynamis School for Advanced Homeopathic Studies in Toronto, the Jayesh Shaw School in San Francisco, as well as the Bombay school in India. In addition, she taught homeopathy and clinical pathology at the Vancouver Academy of Homeopathy.
As a chiropractor, naturopathic doctor and a homeopath, she has a unique mix of skills. Still, her first love is homeopathy. She's been fortunate to spend 25 years of her life enjoying the difference it makes in the lives of others.
Susan discovered homeopathy while living in India where it's widely practiced. There, she witnessed and experienced its healing first-hand.
Intrigued, she read "Kent's Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy." His holistic approach immediately resonated with her and a passion was born. She studied with the British Institute of Homeopathy and with some of our generation's masters: Jeremy Sherr, Jan Scholten, Rajan Sankaran.
Twenty-five years later, she's an accomplished and sought-after homeopath herself. She also spent 17 years teaching at the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy.
Today Susan travels frequently – studying, teaching and practicing her craft the world over. On that note, Susan is an accomplished "Skyper" too! When she's not seeing clients at the Centre, she's always accessible online.

Points penalty for Serie A sides
Newly promoted Pescara are among a number of Italian clubs who have been deducted points for their involvement in alleged match-fixing.
Last Updated: 18/06/12 3:17pm
Newly promoted Pescara are among a number of Italian clubs who have been deducted points for their involvement in alleged match-fixing.
An investigation by the Disciplinary Committee of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), labelled 'Last Bet', has already issued 72 rulings on guilty clubs and individuals.
The inquiry focused on 33 games over the last two seasons in Serie B and the Coppa Italia, though no Serie A games were investigated.
Among the other clubs punished are Atalanta, who have been docked two points and fined 25,000 euros.
Novara, who were relegated to Serie B last month, have been handed a four-point deduction and fined 35,000 euros while fellow second tier side Reggina will also begin the campaign on minus four points.
Serie A side Siena and newly-promoted Sampdoria have both been fined 50,000 euros.
Serie B
The allegations for Atalanta, Novara and Siena stem from when they played in Serie B in past seasons.
Former Inter Milan and Parma defender Luigi Sartor, Piacenza's Mario Cassano, Ravenna's Alessandro Zamperini and Nicola Santoni have all been banned for five years.
Ex-AC Milan midfielder Tomas Locatelli has received a two-year ban along with former Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni.
Former Fiorentina midfielder Alberto Santana has been banned for three years while ex-Inter Milan and Torino striker Nicola Ventola has received a six-month suspension.
The investigation is ongoing and more punishments are expected in the coming months.

On June 22, 1932, her lifeless body was found where it had been dumped on 22 Mountain, which was then called Trace Mountain. She had been savagely murdered: shot in the head twice, neck fractured, face disfigured and powder-burned, throat cut from ear to ear. Garland Davis, a young deaf-mute, stumbled upon the gruesome scene while picking blackberries. Little did he know that his discovery would lead to sensational headlines, and still have people wondering to this day who killed Mamie Thurman.
Mamie was a housewife in Logan, WV. She and her husband, Jack Thurman, had moved to Logan, from their hometown of Louisville, KY in 1924. Jack and Mamie rented a small two-room apartment over a garage, located in the backyard of the Harry and Louise Robertson home. Robertson worked for the National Bank of Logan, and served as treasurer of the Logan Public Library. His wife was the treasurer of the Logan Women's Club, and both were said to be active church members.
Jack Thurman had worked as a Logan city patrolman for fifteen months prior to his wife's death. He landed his job due to the efforts of Robertson, who was president of the city commission.
Some folks said Mamie had been a good wife, a saintly woman, and a faithful church worker at Nighbert Memorial, a prestigious church near the train tracks at the intersection of Cole and White Street in downtown Logan. Others surely smirked as they murmured across the picket fence that this same lady was a married woman living fast and loose in a small town that could keep few secrets.
Mrs. Thurman allegedly had an ongoing relationship with Harry Robertson and more than a dozen other powerful men in the county.
At about 8:30 on the evening of June 22, Harry Robertson and his black handyman Clarence Stephenson were both arrested and taken to the Logan County jail for questioning. Stephenson had never been married and lived in the attic of the Robertson home. He did many odd-jobs for the Robertson family, but his main duty was to feed and care for Mr. Robertson's dogs. Robertson was a prominent sportsman.
Robertson admitted to police that he had been having an intimate relationship with the deceased woman, and told how he arranged dates with Mrs. Thurman with the help of Stephenson. He would tell his wife he was going fox-hunting, and they would take their guns and drive off in Robertson's Ford. Stephenson would drive him to one of the rendezvous points that Mrs. Thurman knew well.
On July 29 throngs of people started gathering around the Logan court house at six o'clock in the morning. Many Logan County prominent citizens, some who were associated with suspect Harry Robertson, served on the Grand Jury. Robertson said Mamie gave him a list of sixteen men with whom she had illicit affairs. He claimed the list was given to him about a year before the murder, when they both worked at the Guyan Valley Bank.
"One of the men is dead, all except three live in the city of Logan, and all are married but one," he testified. The list of sixteen men who were said to have had sexual relations with Mamie was never made public. Many claimed some of these men were later named to the Grand Jury. Robertson said he continued seeing Mamie even though she refused to stop seeing the other men.
Robertson said the last time he saw Mamie was the day she was killed. He left his house shortly after that to take his children to a swimming pool at Stollings. Later that evening he said he went to the Smoke House to listen to a prize fight with his son, and was home about nine o'clock. His wife later confirmed his statement.
Magistrate Elba Hatfield told the Grand Jury that all the evidence was circumstantial, but claimed it very damaging against both defendants. For that reason he ruled that Robertson and Stephenson should be held to answer any indictments returned by the Grand Jury. The jury ended a four-day inquiry on September 15, and the following day the Logan Banner headlines cried out, "HARRY ROBERTSON NOT INDICTED."
Clarence Stephenson was indicted by the Grand Jury, and stood trial for the murder of Mamie Thurman. According to the Banner, witnesses at the trial accounted for every minute of Clarence Stephenson's time up until eleven o'clock on June 22, when Mrs. Robertson said he went up to his attic bedroom. However, the jury was only out for fifty-minutes before returning with a guilty verdict with the recommendation of mercy, which carried a life sentence. Stephenson's attorney immediately entered a motion for a new trial.
On November 15, pleas from the Logan County Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) went across the county to raise the six-hundred-dollars needed for the appeal. Fifty-six churches in Logan began taking donations. More than three thousand people attended a mass meeting held at Aracoma High School with both whites and blacks attending. Despite all the efforts, the Supreme Court turned down Stephenson's appeal in 1933.
Stephenson was sent to Moundsville Prison on August 22, 1934. On June 11, 1939, he was transferred to Huttonsville Prison Farm where he died of stomachic carcinoma (stomach cancer) on April 24, 1942. He was buried on the prison farm May 2, 1942 almost ten years after the death of Mamie Thurman.
Norman Sloan, a Logan County resident who spent time in jail and prison with Stephenson, said "He told me he was hired to take the body to 22 Mountain, and that he didn't do anything to Mamie Thurman. He never did say who killed her, but he said that he didn't do it. Stephenson told me it was all politics."

Rangel Doubtful For Norwich Game
Right back Angel Rangel is a doubt for Saturday's home game against Norwich City.
The Spaniard picked up a heel injury during Sunday's derby match against Cardiff City and was brought off during the second half.
If he doesn't make it, Albert Serran, who replaced him on the weekend, would be the likely choice to fill in at right back, also available is Matty Collins.
Serran made an excellent League debut for us at right back, making a superb run down the wing to provide the ball for Scotland's opener in the 3-0 home win against Ipswich Town.
Martinez told the Evening Post that Rangel has been carrying the injury for some time now:
"Angel has got away with it in certain games, but he has been suffering for a few weeks now.
"Because of the warmer weather we've had, the pitch at Cardiff was a bit harder and that was a bit too much for him.
"Angel did really well to play for as long as he did because in the second half it was very, very difficult for him."
"Angel was not his normal self at Cardiff. His movement going forward was restricted.
"We are assessing him and hopefully it won't be a long lay off.
He has inflammation of the tendon in his right heel and it could be that he is out for around a week.
"He is doubtful for Norwich, but at the same time I wouldn't rule him out.
"If he reacts well to treatment he has got a chance. It's just a shame that he has got this problem when we're in the middle of another little busy period."

In this presidential election year, shareholders are increasingly curious about the political agendas of public companies.
Investors filed more than 100 resolutions this year asking companies to disclose what they spend on political advocacy, according to Institutional Shareholder Services, a proxy advisory service. The number of proposals for the first time exceeded shareholder resolutions on energy and environmental issues, which have long attracted significant interest from investors.

WT20: Indo-Pak match at Eden evokes sad memories for Pankaj Roy
The India-Pakistan World T20 encounter on Saturday at the historic Eden Gardens evokes sad memories for former India opener and East Zone selector Pankaj Roy
KOLKATA: Even as the City of Joy celebrates the hosting of an India-Pakistan encounter on Saturday in the ICC World T20, the clash of the arch-rivals at the historic Eden Gardens evokes sad memories for former India opener and East Zone selector Pankaj Roy.
"My most prominent memory of an India-Pakistan match at the Eden is the 1999 Test, where Sachin Tendulkar collided with Shoaib Akhtar and was controversially run-out in the second innings with India chasing 279 for victory with two days to go. The crowd was furious and a mini riot ensued. The next day India lost a few more wickets and the crowd erupted leading to the security staff clearing out the 65,000-strong crowd from the stands. The remainder of the match was played in front of an empty house and Pakistan won by 47 runs," recalled Roy yesterday.
However, times have changed and MS Dhoni's Indians are in top form this time round with their recent defeat to New Zealand being considered an aberration. And Roy is hopeful his sad memory of an Indo-Pak Eden clash is converted to a happy one, come Saturday. "For me, history has no significance when it comes to match predictions. I know that India hold a very poor record against Pakistan here – I think they've won just one match from 11 encounters, Tests and ODIs included (India @ Eden Gardens: played 11, won 1, lost 5, drawn 5). But for me, it's all about playing well on that day. I believe India can beat this Pakistan team on Saturday, backed by some very emotional Eden Gardens supporters," added Roy.

So, some systems will have more features than another and each one will be custom. So, all Marriott's will be the same, but they will be completely different in layout and features than, say an MGM or Omni, or any other hotel. Make sure to note that you will see some local ads in the special features. Also make note of the premium local BMW banner ad at the end. That was the most expensive ad, hands down. All national ads are inserted on broadcast channels and local ads are in the menu sections. It's too late to stop now!!!

The Government of Rajiv Gandhi has shown exceptional determination and consistency in its efforts to remodel education. The New Education Policy, announced in 1986, found its first major manifestation next year, when linkage between a much-delayed payrise for college and university teachers and retrogressive changes in their service conditions provoked an all-India teachers' strike. Since then, a whole series of innovations have been implemented, or announced. Model Navodaya schools for a minority in the countryside is accompanied by an emphasis upon vocational, non-formal or audio-rural 'distance* education method for the less-fortunate 39 out of 64 million new entrants. Plans are well-advanced to entirely scrap the present structure of affiliating universities. In its place instead, we are going to have 'autonomous* departments in universities and 'autonomous* colleges under a centralized Accreditation and Assessment Council. National qualifying tests have been introduced for research scholars and college teachers, the UGC is trying to impose a 40 hour week in colleges, huge sums are being spent on orientation/refresher courses, and a highly anti-democratic Hospitals and Other Institutions Bill banning strikes remains pending before Parliament.
In the present special number of Social Scientist, ten contributers take a close look at various aspects of Indian education and the ways in which it is being restructured. We begin with Badri Raina offering a brief historical survey. An interview with MMP Singh, President of the Delhi University Teachers* Association, reviews government policies and the phases, perspectives and responsibilities of the all-India teachers* movement. This is followed by an analysis, of the implications of the 'autonomy of which so much is being heard nowadays, and a case-study of an orientation course by two teachers, who recently had the *priviledge* of the attending it. Alok Rai, and Kamal Datta expose the perspectives before humanities and science teaching. The elitsit implications of the New Education Policy on school education are examined by Geetha Nambissan and Poonam Batra. Two activists from the Ekalavya group of Madhya Pradesh present fascinating details about the functioning of village schools, and review the possibilities and limits of the work of volunteer groups. The biases of the 'objective' type examinations are brought out by K.

Here's the thing about converting your gone-to-hell hipster Mercedes Benz diesel car from the 1970's or 1980's to biodiesel– it aint easy. Or rather, the easier the conversion, the harder it is for you the driver to deal with.
So you end up having to get people to help you push your car around, as here, just like Herb Caen and his various Jaguar cars. And if there's no place to park, well then you block traffic on Battery for a while, as here.
That's O.K. – this kind of ordeal makes you stronger.
It's the same with MUNI's operation of biodiesel buses – they're finding a need to replace fuel filters on almost a weekly basis, per a report I saw from earlier this year.
Nobody said being a pioneer would be easy.

Am i only concerned about GvG in Guild Wars ?
Guild wars has always been based on Guild vs Guild i got my Champion Title (gold ribbon cape) on Guild Wars and basically i havent seen anyone crying for not having this anymore. I loved to spend hundreds of hours in my Guild Hall having fun with my guild mates planning and configuring a lot of team aspects guild wars offers, i personally think it was a amazing way to do PvP (a lot better than HoH). The method and gameplay was far beyond anything i have seen till now on any MMO. To be honnest the game says "guild wars" so it must have something to compete on guild vs guild... It must have a guild lord and its henches and those flag runners and bodyguards.. getting morale boost and all that stuff i want GvG desperately !! ;(
So is everyone Ok with GW2 not having GvG ?

Lennon Against Celtic Sale
Neil Lennon says Stilian Petrov is 'unstoppable in some games' and agrees with Celtic refusing bids for the want-away player.
Lennon, another of Martin O'Neill's former players, said: 'From our point of view we want Stilian to stay because he's such an influential player for us. When he's in the mood he's unstoppable in some games. If he stays, we have a very strong midfield with the likes of Stan, Shunsuke Nakamura, Aiden McGeady, Jiri Jarosik, Alan Thompson and myself.'
'We have six or seven quality players and that's what you need. It's encouraging that the board haven't taken the first offer for Stan. You want top dollar for your best player and they are quite right to stand their ground.'
Portsmouth have failed in a couple of bids for the midfielder. We are now being linked with a move following the arrival of Martin O'Neill and Blackburn, Middlesbrough as well as Fulham have also been linked with the 27-year-old.
(Alan Thompson, there's another player who never got the full opportunity at Villa, I thought when he was sold he was just coming good and he has gone from strength to strength at Celtic)

Giant trees are dying, scientists say
Giant old trees are dying at an alarming rate due to human activity, fire and climate change, an ecologist says.
The accelerated death rate of trees aged between 100 and 300 years seems to be a global problem in all types of forest, says Professor David Lindenmayer of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions (CEED) and Australian National University.
"Large old trees are critical in many natural and human-dominated environments," he says in a paper with Professor Bill Laurance of James Cook University and Professor Jerry Franklin of Washington University.
Research is urgently needed to identify the causes of rapid losses of large old trees and strategies for improved management, says their paper published in the journal Science on Friday.
"Without policy changes, large old trees will diminish or disappear in many ecosystems, leading to losses of their associated biota and ecosystem functions," they say.
They were tipped off to the increasing loss of big old trees while examining Swedish forestry records going back to the 1860s.
Then a 30-year study of mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forest in Australia confirmed that not only were big old trees dying en masse in forest fires, but also perishing at 10 times the normal rate in non-fire years - apparently due to drought, high temperatures, logging and other causes.
Their study found similar trends at all latitudes.
"We are talking about the loss of the biggest living organisms on the planet, of the largest flowering plants on the planet, of organisms that play a key role in regulating and enriching our world," they said.
"They provide nesting or sheltering cavities for up to 30 per cent of all birds and animals in some ecosystems."
The trees also store huge amounts of carbon, recycle soil nutrients and influence the flow of water in landscapes.
The decline appears to be driven by a combination of forces, including land clearing, agricultural practices, man-made changes in fire regimes, logging and timber gathering, insect attack and rapid climatic changes.

I believe that the bankruptcy discharge protect you from foreign debts, especially if you file for Chapter 7. Youshould, list the foreign debts in the filing.If the foreign entity hires a collection agency in the US then you have the right under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act to dispute the debt and ask them not tocontact you anymore. You can send this letter by certified mail but it is not required. Additionally,I do not know if the foreign countrywill recognize a bankruptcy discharge granted in the USto protect from collection actions that might otherwise be brought there. However, I would suggest not conducting anymore business or obtaining anymore assets in said country. I would also be a good idea not to visit there. Remember things including the laws and protections are very different once you leave the confines of the USA.

A bankruptcy discharge acts as an injunction against the collection of discharged debts. So the foreign federation could not collect the debt here in the US. They may still be able to pursue collection outside the US. I am happy to discuss your options with you.

Bankruptcy will discharge any debt that is dischargeable under the Bankruptcy Code. Where the debt was incurred is irrelevant, although the bankruptcy discharge injunction only extends to assets in the USA.

Janet A. Lawson Bankruptcy Attorney | Janet Lawson
in theory yes, however enforcing discharge in a foreign country could be quite a trick. They could not sue you here. Depending on the country we have a treaty that covers that.
Answer Applies to: California
Replied: 8/2/2011
Ashman Law Office | Glen Edward Ashman
That depends on the law of that nation. But if your assets and income are in the US, bankruptcy, if successful, will prevent collection in the US.

Probably, unless they don't recognize U.S. law. And there could be issues if your a citizen of that country or go there often. You could call their embassy to learn how they are with our laws.
Answer Applies to: Virginia
Replied: 8/2/2011

Bankruptcy would make the debt unenforceable in the United States. If you have overseas assets, it is questionable whether they would be protected by a U.S. Bankruptcy without going through whatever debt resolution process exists where those assets are located.

Cardinals Return to Conclave Vote in Bid to Find New Pope
Roman Catholic cardinals returned to the Sistine Chapel for a third round of voting after they failed to elect a successor to retired Benedict XVI in their morning ballots.
The 115 cardinals under the age limit of 80 began their afternoon balloting after black smoke billowed over St. Peter's Square earlier today, indicating no one received the two-thirds of the votes needed to become the church's 266th pope. The conclave began yesterday in the 15th-century chapel adorned by Michelangelo's fresco of the Last Judgment.
"This is not a rushed process, one approaches the altar very slowly holding high in his hands the ballot that he just completed," German Cardinal Karl Lehmann, who took part in he last papal vote in 2005, said in a statement made before the conclave started that was read out at a press briefing today by Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi. "The atmosphere is completely meditative and deeply intense."
Vatican analysts depict this conclave as a struggle between reformers seeking to overhaul the Vatican bureaucracy known as the Curia after last year's papal leaks scandal and an old guard maneuvering to maintain its influence. Cardinals such as Timothy Dolan of New York or Ghana's Peter Turkson have been touted as ready to shake up the Rome-based institution, even as the election of a non-European wouldn't necessarily presage a major change of course for the church.
"Geography is far overplayed in this discussion," said Christopher Bellitto, a papal historian at Kean University in New Jersey. "What people are concerned with is finding the right person" and "the right person is not working in the Curia," though "you can't have someone with no experience."
Betting Odds
While Italian Cardinal Angelo Scola is currently seen as the favorite by betting company Paddy Power Plc (PAP), non-Europeans dominate the rest of the rankings. Scola, who as archbishop of Milan is seen as a Vatican outsider, has 11-to-4 odds of being named pope after Benedict's Feb. 28 abdication, and Turkson is second at 7-to-2.
Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer is third at 5-to-1, followed by Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schonborn at 6-1, Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet at 7-to-1 and Cardinals Sean O'Malley and Timothy Dolan of the U.S. at 10-to-1 and 20-to-1, respectively. Filippino Cardinal Luis Tagle is also seen with 20-1 odds as is Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi of Italy.
American Pope?
"Dolan could even get the votes of the Curia," Gianluigi Nuzzi, an Italian journalist who wrote a book based on the documents stolen by Benedict's butler, said on his Twitter Inc. account today. Support from cardinals in the Curia could be enough to give Dolan, head of the U.S. bishops conference, the 77 votes needed to become pope.
"The conference of Catholic bishops here in the U.S. don't seem to be taking orders from me," President Barack Obama, asked if the first U.S. pope would take directions from him, said in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, according to a transcript today. "It seems to me that an American pope would preside just as effectively as a Polish pope or an Italian pope or a Guatemalan pope," said Obama, whose administration has clashed with U.S. bishops over issues such as contraception.
Dolan, in a message sent this week to priests in his diocese before the conclave began, said he expects a new pope to be elected by tomorrow. Brazilian Cardinal Raymundo Damasceno Assis said he's ready for balloting to last a week, Italian newswire Ansa reported yesterday.
The longest conclave dates to the 13th century, when Gregory V took nearly three years to be chosen. The elections of John Paul II in 1978 and his successor Benedict in 2005 took three days and two days, respectively.
Church 'Princes'
The red-hatted "princes of the church," who hail from six continents, will choose a new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics amid a waning church presence in Europe and North America and expansion in Asia and Africa. Their vote also comes after they were briefed last week on a secret probe into last year's leaking of papal documents, a case that depicted a web of Vatican intrigue undermining Benedict and fueled calls to overhaul the Curia.
Of the 115 cardinal electors, 67 were created by Benedict and 48 by John Paul II. They spent last week with cardinals above the voting age discussing challenges facing the church and sizing up papal candidates, including possibly electing the first non-European pope since Syrian Gregory III in 741.
Some of the debates focused on how to improve the work of the Curia in light of the so-called "Vatileaks" case. Paolo Gabriele, the Pope's former butler, was sentenced by a Vatican court to 18 months in prison for stealing his documents.
Papal Pardon
Later pardoned by Benedict, Gabriele indicated that he had leaked the documents to Italian journalist Nuzzi to protect the Pope and expose "evil and corruption" in the Vatican.
Last December, the Pope was handed a secret dossier on the case by three cardinals he commissioned to investigate it. The cardinals then briefed their colleagues on the matter during last week's talks. Italian newspaper La Repubblica said the dossier also discussed alleged financial irregularities at the Vatican and that the report played a key role in Benedict's decision to resign on Feb. 11, when the 85-year-old German announced he no longer had the strength to lead the church.
Cardinals held talks on the Vatican's bank on March 11, the Holy See press office said. The bank, the target of a 2010 Italian probe into alleged violations of money-laundering laws, has struggled to meet global norms on transparency.
In July, a Council of Europe report said that while it's made progress, the bank still needs to improve transaction supervision. The next pope will have to further overhaul the Institute for Works of Religion, as the bank is known, Rome newspaper Il Messaggero reported today, which said an African cardinal told his counterparts during their March 11 briefing that "Peter never needed a bank."
Under Benedict, the church was "attacked from without and betrayed from within," Robert Moynihan, editor of Inside the Vatican magazine, said in a March 1 comment to subscribers. His resignation must been seen "in the perspective of a man who wishes to hand on, while he yet breathes, the weapons to fight a colossal battle" that's now beginning "in earnest."

<!– begin rant –>I'm really sick of people bashing the UFL, and I can't really explain why. Despite the failings of the XFL, the former World League, and the USFL, all of those organizations implemented innovative changes to the game of football that still exist today. And I still believe there will be no better overtime format than the one first rolled out by the WLAF, where one team has to score six points in the extra period to win. Aw, but it's gonna suck, why can't they play in the spring, where are my nachos, duhhhhrrr! Listen, dick. If you don't want to watch it, DON'T WATCH IT. But don't act like you're friggin Nostradamus over there. Everyone knows what an upstart football league is up against, including the people behind the UFL. <!– end rant –>
The UFL had it's first mass dispersion of players to its four franchises last night, and for the first time, we can finally put some names to these teams. Names on the list that I actually recognize: Redskins free agent bust Adam Archuleta, former Utah quarterback Brian Johnson, LaBrandon Toefield, and former Nebraska quarterback Brooks Ballinger. Wait, Brooks Ballinger is still alive? Didn't he die in some gyro-copter accident?
Some people criticized the UFL's process of a secret draft, saying the league passed up a chance to generate buzz. Aside from not caring about hearing the names of players I've never heard of, most upstart organizations, including the old ABA, held their player acquisition meetings in secret. Besides, the bulk of these rosters will be filled once NFL teams make cuts in training camp. Even the league's first draft couldn't compete with the NFL's sloppy seconds. To me, that makes the league all the more compelling.

By Elizabeth Hayen
The anonymity and accessibility of online communication has encouraged a surge of all forms of activity. People can do business without needing to meet in person. You can trade stocks, get information, trade recipes. You can play Scrabble with someone on the other side of the world. You can even start an online relationship.
Sometimes, online anonymity encourages people to explore in ways they would not in real-life. For example, you may tell someone online your deepest secret because you don't have to face them in the morning. That feels safer. And for example, some men and women engage in sexual fantasies that otherwise would not occur. Some may engage in cybersex in a chat room or through email. Maybe someone will visit pornographic sites more consistently. Someone may engage in or look at sadomasochistic material.
For some, this kind of usage become problematic. About 3% to 6% of Americans have sexual addiction. And although the Internet provides an endless amount of valuable information, it has also become a dangerous pitfall for the estimated 2 million sexually addicted Internet users, both in and out of recovery. Often an individual seeks out sexual material out of curiosity. They will start to visit a sexual site more and more or other sites like it. Are you aware that this is happening to you? Have you wondered if you or a friend of yours has a problem?
Answer the following self-quiz questions to see if you may want to take advantage of the services listed below:
- Do you regularly spend significant amounts of time looking at sexual material online or in online sexual chat rooms?
- Do you spend more time than intended looking at sexual material on the internet?
- Do you have a difficult time stopping your online use of sexual material once you started?
- Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you would quit spending as much time on the internet with sexual material and then broken that commitment?
- Have you noticed your grades slipping or your attendance at class or work decreasing due to your online use?
- Do you masturbate while online looking at sexual material or engaged in sexual behavior with others online?
- Do you use anonymous online communication in order to engage in sexual behavior otherwise not typical in real-life?
- Are the sexual images that you seek becoming more graphic than those you viewed before in order to gain similar excitement levels?
- Have you ever been caught using sexual material online?
- Has anyone ever suggested that you may spend too much time online?
- Has your online use ever interfered with time spent with family, friends, or romantic partner?
- When you are offline, do you think about or plan your next online experience or think about your most recent online experience?
- Do you try to hide your online behavior from others (for example, by logging on late at night)?
If you have answered yes to several of these questions, you may want to seek help or more information at one or more of the following places:
