Para for Basis for Qualified Opinion
Since last many years lenders keep on ensuring the sanction and disbursement of the term loan for our ongoing projects and every year revised projections were submitted. The bankers even after the sanction of the term loan have not disbursed fully and hence funds of Rs. 103,89,20,943/- is blocked in the such ongoing projects. Since there is no active development in the ongoing project due to non sanction of funds by lenders as well as no accrual from the operations, as of now the Company does not anticipate execution of such ongoing capital projects and hence have charged back expense of pre-operative expense, trial run expense and borrowing cost element of Rs. 47,48,71,471/ - to the statement of profit and loss during the current year which was earlier capitalized and carried in Capital work In Progress of our ongoing projects. For the remaining balance carried as Capital work In Progress, the company has not carried out any Techno-economic assessment during the year ended 31st March 2015 for the valuations of its ongoing Capital Projects and hence identification of impairment loss and provision thereof, if any, has not been made. Considering the emphasis of the matter, company agreed to appoint an approved valuer to access the impairment of the assets. Company is expecting a report from the valuer and decision will be taken with regard to impairment, if any, on such assets. Apart from this, the Company has paid the capital advances for the amount of 25,26,09,551/- which are currently shown under Long term loans and advances to the suppliers for the supply of customized equipments based of our specific design and requirements.
Annexure to Independent Auditors Report - Para vii (a)
Payments of Statutory dues were marginally delayed on account of slow recovery/collection. However, the same have been paid. Annexure to Independent Auditors Report - Para ix
On account of under utilization of capacities, the cash flow was mismatch resulting delay in payment of interest. In the CDR EG meeting flash report as submitted by the Company has been accepted but later lenders have withdrawn from the CDR and not submitted the full scheme to the CDR EG. This has further worsen the cash flow of the Company and now Company is actively negotiating with the lenders for one time settlement (OTS).
In addition to the above clarifications, the notes to the Accounts are self explanatory and give suitable explanation to qualifications in the Auditors Report.
1. No material changes have taken place after the closure of the financial year up to the date of this report which may have substantial effect on the business and financial of the Company. However, net worth of the company has been completely eroded and Board has decided to approach BIFR under SICA for declaring company as sick unit.
2. No significant and material orders have been passed by any of the regulators or courts or tribunals impacting the going concern status and companies operations in future.
Your Directors place on record their sincere appreciation for the valuable support and co-operation as received from government authorities, Financial Institutions and Banks during the year. The Directors are also thankful for the support extended by Customers, Suppliers and contribution made by the employees at all level. The Directors would also like to acknowledge continued patronage extended by Companys shareholders in its entire endeavor.

Company Creates New Power Amplifier Design in Smartphones for Greater Efficiency
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: buychargeall.com)
The technology will first be used to address power base stations in developing countries, where diesel-powered generators consume billions of dollars of fuel per year
An MIT company has developed a new amplifier design that could significantly increase the
power efficiency of smartphones
Eta Devices, an MIT company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, gave the power amplifier inside smartphones a much-needed efficiency boost to help save electricity consumed around the world.
The power amplifier in a smartphone turns electricity into radio signals. They use transistors to consume power in either output signal mode or standby mode. The efficiency can only be improved if the lowest amount of standby power is used, but this has been tricky so far because using low-power standby mode and suddenly jumping to high-power output signal mode leads to distorted signals. So both modes are kept high.
The amplifiers waste over 65 percent of their energy, which leads to a warm, draining battery in phones that send huge files or stream video.
More charging per day
leads to more electricity used around the globe.
But Eta Devices is looking to change this. The company's new design, called asymmetric multilevel outphasing, is an electronic gearbox that chooses through
various voltages
that can be sent across a transistor and pinpoints the one that decreases power consumption the most. It does this 20 million times per second.
The new design not only does this when transmitting, but also receiving. When receiving, the gearbox sends out messages confirming when packets are received and letting the network know when they haven't. Packets are bits that make up a unit of Internet communications.
Eta Devices is looking to launch its new design in February 2013 at the Mobile World Congress. The technology will first be used to address power base stations in developing countries, where diesel-powered generators consume billions of dollars of fuel per year. From there, this new design will tackle the smartphone market around the world. It wants to create a smartphone chip with a single power amplifier that can juggle many different modes and frequencies.
Eta Devices expects that this new design can lead to smartphones using half the power they use today.

Healthy Food Activities For Children – Be Wise To Make Them Healthy
When your little one always questions and rebels(especially with food) till sufficiently reasoned with fun game and activities, it appears a terrifying task like, scaling up a mountain, whose summit seems hidden in the mists. Take a breather! You can plan out some healthy food activities for children, which will not only encourage your little one to eat healthy but also help him more on why eating healthy is important.
More so these days with a worldwide exposure to everything from a young age, kids too are equipped with some bit of knowledge about whatâs in the food âmarket and the real tantalizing ones, which hold them in sway(unmindful of the health quotient they carry). So here you are in a battle of wits with your little one, who would insist on eating his salty crackers than having a cup of diced carrots. So how do you go about inculcating healthy food habits in children? Simple. Explore some of the healthy food activities for children, which I am going to share with you.
⢠Get them involved in the cooking process : Kids are a curious lot. So the adequate amount of fodder you feed their brain, the well they will be able to chew upon health. For instance, your kid relevant to his/her age-category may love to grow up to an athlete or some super-figure. Connect to that ambition, and slowly but surely keep saying how the making of this food will definitely pave way for becoming healthy and strong (with all the nutrients) thus reach the goal at end.
⢠Make interesting recipes : Whatever you cook, present it well. The sense of sight is the first of perception of the dish you make and with kids especially, who enjoy variety galore in a myriad colors, make your dish colorful . For instance, if you are making a veggie-salad, you can do a bit of sculpting with the vegetables in the way of figurines or heroes or some characters which are your kidsâ favorite, and highlight how the little character or figurine was able to perform feats because he ate all the veggies(but make sure not to make it too fantasy-like or encouraging dare-devilry, because you surely wouldnât want mimicry of any stunts!). A very popular example is that of âPopeye the sailorâ who patronized spinach. Your delicious bakes can be made nourishing with a addition of some nuts(if you have trouble including nuts in your childâs diet), which you game it up like how many times the crunch was detected in the cake. The greater the count of crunches, the better will be the âfinishing timeâ for homework. Your recipes can feature most of the healthy food activities for children.
⢠Get on to vegetable and fruit touring: Whenever you visit the market to buy veggies or fruits, do remember to tag along with the little one. The wide spectrum of colors and your slow processing of the goodness of nature each variety bears, will make learning fun and eating also a conscious experience. Your connotations of the fruits and veggies should be child-receptive.
⢠Have Group fun to learn about the food pyramid : The food pyramid teaches as to what should be the portion of serving of each nutrient. You could also gather your childâs friends and have the requisite portions served for each nutrient mapping to on individual child. And then enact a play where an adult rewards the child with healthy food habits. And the ones going high on junk food simply forebodes ill-health(featuring them as patients with low immune system, and subsequently a weak body).
⢠Craft activities : Drawing and painting different colored veggies and fruits can draw the childâs interest to the subject on hand and also make an imprint on his/her mind. For instance, an apple can be demonstrated as a figurine, between your child and the âwickedâ doctor who is ready with a pill(bitter) for the ailing child. Fruits and vegetables as lifesavers. Clay modeling of fruits and some not-so-attractive vegetables can be sculpted as fearless warriors against an army of microbes (virus and bacteria ).
⢠An eventful program once in a while : Give a stage-performance once in a while(Just a small dais). Make a parody of fruits and vegetables from the concept in nursery rhymes and ask the children of your apartment to participate. You could choose one theme at a time for these programs for example a fancy dress for vegetables(the ones with high nutrient-value ), or one especially for fruits, against the background of a giant food-pyramid).

Madalena to Buy Gran Tierra Argentine Assets for $63 MillionPablo Gonzalez
Madalena Energy Inc., the Calgary-based company drilling in the world's second-largest shale gas deposit, agreed to acquire Gran Tierra Energy Inc.'s oil assets in Argentina for $63 million.
Madalena's production in Argentina will increase by 3,028 barrels of oil equivalent a day after the acquisition of conventional fields owned by Gran Tierra, the companies said today in separate statements. As of December 2013, Calgary-based Gran Tierra owned 890,000 net acres in the provinces of Salta, Formosa and Rio Negro.
Madalena owns 136,000 acres of shale in Argentina's Vaca Muerta, which also is the world's fourth-largest shale oil deposit. Madalena has stakes in three blocks in the prolific Neuquen basin in Argentina and also owns 92,800 acres in Paddle River, Alberta.
"Madalena's stock has significant upside potential based on its Argentina blocks, which are prospective for Vaca Muerta shale," Bill Newman, a Mackie Research Capital Corp. analyst in Calgary, said April 30 in a report to clients. He rates the stock a buy.
Gran Tierra's Argentina assets were reported to be on the sales block Oct. 26 by La Nacion. The Buenos Aires-based newspaper said the company had hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. to seek $100 million for the oil assets.
Madalena will pay $49 million in cash and $14 million with shares, the company said. The acquisition is expected to close by June 30, the companies said.
"The combined assets in Argentina will provide Madalena with a solid operational platform to advance the conventional assets and unlock the Vaca Muerta shale potential," Gran Tierra Chief Executive Officer Dana Coffield said in the statement.
Dundee Securities was Madalena's financial adviser on the transaction, while RBC Capital Markets was strategic adviser on the acquisition.

Ben Jeffrey Peter Summerskill OBE (born 6 October 1961 in Kent)[2] is Director of the Criminal Justice Alliance, a consortium of 110 organisations working across the GB criminal justice pathway.[3][4] He was the Chief Executive of the UK-based lesbian, gay and bisexual equality organisation Stonewall, the largest gay equality body in Europe, from 2003 to 2014. He has a lesbian twin sister, Clare, who is a performer.[5] He has also worked as a businessman and journalist. Ben Summerskill is an occasional contributor to The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, The Observer, The Times, Time Out and other publications. In 2015 he won a Lifetime Achievement Award at the British LGBT Awards [6]
Early life and education[edit]
Summerskill was educated at Cobden Road Infants School, Amherst County Primary School, Sevenoaks School, where he held a scholarship, and Merton College, Oxford, where he was an Exhibitioner (holder of a junior scholarship) [7] but which he left after two years without taking a degree. He later wrote in The Guardian: "I still recall being struck dumb on being shown, as an undergraduate, a note from an Oxford tutor to a successful candidate's father: 'Many thanks for lunch, and the trip in the Rolls.'"[8]
Professional life[edit]
His first career was in the restaurant trade. He was Operations Director from 1987 to 1990 with Kennedy Brookes, by then a publicly quoted hospitality company, responsible for 300 staff and an £18m turnover at the age of 26.[citation needed] Becoming a journalist in 1990, he rose to the position of Assistant Editor of The Observer newspaper which he joined in 2000 after having worked with Peter Hitchens and Peter Oborne[9] as Media Editor for Daily Express editor Rosie Boycott, and the London Evening Standard under editor and mentor Max Hastings and other magazines.
As chief executive of Stonewall, he succeeded Director Angela Mason in early 2003, expanding its work from parliamentary lobbying into other fields including workplace equality and campaigning against homophobia in schools. He led successful campaigns for the repeal of Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988,[10] the introduction of Civil Partnership for lesbian and gay people in the UK and the introduction in 2007 of protections against discrimination in the provision of "goods and services", covering areas from healthcare and housing to hotels and holidays.[11] He also led a successful parliamentary campaign in 2007–08 for introduction of a criminal offence of incitement to homophobic hatred and a campaign in 2009–10 to enable gay people to celebrate civil partnerships in religious premises. He also restored Stonewall to financial good health after a number of very precarious years. (Its turnover was £1.4m in 2003, during which it ran a deficit of £117,000, and £4.3m by 2013, with reserves having risen from £11,000 in 2003 to £3m and staff numbers rising from 21 to 64.) [12][13]
Under his direction, Stonewall's Diversity Champions programme, promoting good practice among major UK employers, has grown from 35 to more than 600 members, employing 5.5 million people between them, ranging from IBM and Tesco to all of Britain's armed services and MI5.[14] Stonewall's Education for All programme, launched in 2005 to help tackle homophobic bullying in Britain's schools and universities, is supported by 70 major teaching and children's organisations.[15]
In 2006, Summerskill was appointed a Commissioner on the Britain's new Equality and Human Rights Commission.[16] He had for three years been a member of a Steering Group advising the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on establishing the Commission, which has statutory powers for the first time to promote equality for lesbian and gay people. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours.[17] He was appointed to the committee of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2009.[18] In 2010 he was a finalist as Ernst & Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year and in 2011 he was shortlisted as Britain's Most Admired Charity Chief Executive in the Third Sector Awards.[19]
In November 2011 Anthony Ryan, 42, received an eight-month prison sentence at Liverpool Crown Court after threatening to "put a bullet in the head" of Summerskill. [20] Ryan, whose sentence was suspended for 18 months, suggested that Summerskill start making "funeral arrangements".
Summerskill stood down as Chief Executive of Stonewall in January 2014.[21] His resignation was marked by a Guardian editorial. [10]
Political role and background[edit]
Summerskill was a Labour councillor for the Westbourne Ward of Westminster City Council from 1994 to 1998. His paternal grandmother (Baroness) Edith Summerskill and his aunt (Dr) Shirley Summerskill were both Labour Members of Parliament and government ministers. Dr Edith Summerskill, a former Chairman of the UK Labour Party, was an early advocate of Britain's free National Health Service and a vocal campaigner for women's equality. Shirley Summerskill helped introduce the UK's Sex Discrimination Act, as a Home Office minister. His maternal grandfather Sydney Elliott was a newspaper editor of various papers, including the London Evening Standard. In 1944 Elliott became Editorial Advisor at the Daily Mirror, where he masterminded its campaign to support the Labour Party at the 1945 general election.
In July 2009 Summerskill resigned as an EHRC commissioner citing differences over leadership with its chair Trevor Phillips.[22] Five other commissioners resigned at the same time.
Speaking to The Observer in March 2014, he controversially criticised the Liberal Democrats as having only supported equal marriage in order to draw "clear blue water" between their coalition partners, the Conservatives, despite Stonewall having not been in favour of equal marriage when the issue was introduced into the Coalition-led Parliament.[23] Peter Tatchell was particularly critical:
Stonewall does great work but the gay campaign for marriage equality faced an uphill struggle, which was made worse by Stonewall constantly undermining our efforts. Some of the arguments Ben and Stonewall put forward at the time [2010] were quoted by homophobes to justify their opposition to same-sex marriage and this was hugely damaging. I am not a supporter of the Liberal Democrats, but on the issue of same-sex marriage the party took an early position, while Stonewall did all it could to sabotage that position.[23]

Shakespeare: The Late Plays, Paperback (November 2013)
This essential study takes a fresh look at The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, Cymbeline and Pericles. Part I uses carefully selected short extracts for close textual analysis, while Part II examines the contexts and key criticism. The volume is an ideal introductory guide for those who are studying Shakespeare's late plays for the first time.
Aphra Behn, Paperback (May 2003)
Provides students with an approachable analysis of Behn's dramaturgical abilities, showing how she uses comic and dramatic conventions to radical ends. Aughterson shows how Behn forces her audience to engage with issues of gender and sexuality, whilst continuing to write witty and accessible plays.
Webster: the Tragedies, Paperback (February 2001)
This study demonstrates how Webster's dramas are not subordinate to, but rather, comparable with those of Shakespeare. This is done through analysing Webster's dramatic and poetic skills, focusing on his heroines and the tightly male dominated world in which they are seen to struggle.

From what i could see, a number of them were not even bankers and most did not appear to be "high powered" as you put it but employees and or executives but not the bosses.

New London - The city would have to lay off 20 police officers to save $1.4 million in the police budget, a cut that would decrease department staffing by 25 percent.
"It will change the way we do policing,'' Chief Margaret Ackley told the City Council Finance Committee Monday night.
But some members of the committee said it is too early in the budget deliberations to say what will be cut and if jobs would be eliminated in order to stay within Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio's proposed spending plan for 2013-14.
"This is something I can't live with,'' Councilor Adam Sprecace said when told by the finance director that cutting $1.4 million would mean eliminating the 20 positions.
"The last thing we want to do is lose patrolmen on the streets,'' agreed Council President Michael Passero.
The mayor has proposed a $40.2 million general government budget, which includes cuts to the police, fire and public works departments, and less funding for the library, seniors and youth programs.
The police budget would decrease from the $8.3 million to $6.8 million.
"There really is little to no wiggle room in this budget,'' Ackley said. "It's mostly bodies."
There are 10 officers eligible to retire, but realistically, she said, probably only one will retire next year. There are also four officers looking to move to the state police and another is looking to move to another department.
She urged the committee Monday that if layoffs are imminent, officers should be told so they can look for other jobs. There currently are openings in other departments, she said.
The finance committee Monday began meeting with department heads to figure out where cuts can be made.
No action was taken at the meeting. Councilor Donald Macrino, chairman of the finance committee, said the group will meet with all department heads before making any decisions. More meetings are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
Also on Monday, Public Works Director Tim Hanser, who is facing a $400,000 cut in his current $7.4 million budget, suggested the city move to privatize curbside trash collection, which could save about $900,000 annually.
But Passero pointed out that such a program would only shift the cost to residents in a different way. "This is not a savings to the taxpayer," he said. Garbage collection would cost property owners between $200 and $275 a year, Hanser said.
While the municipal side of the budget has about $1 million less in spending, the school department has requested - and Finizio is supporting - a 2.5 percent increase to cover raises, five new elementary school teachers and a middle school counselor.
The proposed school budget is $40.8 million, which is nearly $1 million more than the current budget of $39.8 million.
The city is looking at substantial cuts in state revenue.
If the budget is approved as proposed, taxpayers would be looking at just under a 1 mill tax increase. The tax rate would increase by 0.82 mills, from 26.6 mills to 27.42 mills.

The 22-year-old midfielder understands the significance of Middlesbrough's passage into their first-ever FA Cup final and is relishing the task of pitting his wits against Chelsea at Wembley next month.
But he also realises that a fleeting moment of glory pales into insignificance compared to the fight to stay in the top-flight and believes that the team Bryan Robson built for pounds 26m will have to win three of their last five matches to remain in the big time.
Juninho, once again in brilliant form as Middlesbrough ended Chesterfield's dream with a 3-0 semi-final win at Hillsborough on Tuesday, said: "The FA Cup is one of the most important competitions in the world and I know how much it means to English players. It was an excellent performance by us. We showed that when we get the ball down and pass from back to midfield to the forwards then we are a good team.
"It is great for the fans. They haven't been very happy because we lost to Leicester in the Coca-Cola Cup final and then to Sunderland. But for now we have to concentrate on the important matter of the League. I think we have to win two games from the four we have away from home and win our one home game as well to stay up."
The survival bid begins at Tottenham tonight, but there is no doubt that Juninho is delighted to be locking horns with the likes of Gianfranco Zola, Roberto Di Matteo and Franck Leboeuf when he returns to the capital on 17 May for the final.
"It is very good for Middlesbrough that we are through to the final and that we are playing Chelsea. The FA Cup final will be much better than the Coca-Cola Cup final I'm sure, because Chelsea play football. It should be open but that's the English way I just hope we can win it this time," Juninho said.
It is a view shared by the Danish striker Mikkel Beck, who opened the scoring against Chesterfield: "It's certainly time that Boro won something. I thought we were unfortunate not to have won the Coca-Cola Cup at Wembley but now we have a second chance and against a team that wants to play football."

As President Obama gears up for a new push to close Guantánamo Bay, lawmakers from both parties are skeptical the president will be successful in persuading Congress to shutter the facility.
Obama is delivering a speech on national security Thursday, where White House officials say he will detail efforts to fulfill a vow that he made in the first week of his presidency.
While supporters of closing the prison are encouraged by the president's pledge to return to the issue, they say they haven't yet heard how he will win over lawmakers opposed to his detention policies.
"Congress has blocked it, so he's going to have to find a way to remove the blockages of Congress, and hopefully he'll let us know how he'll do that," Sen. Carl LevinCarl LevinA package proposal for repatriation Silencing of Warren another example of hyperpartisan Senate GOP going nuclear over Gorsuch might destroy filibuster forever MORE (D-Mich.) told reporters Tuesday.
Levin wrote a letter two weeks ago to the White House urging the president to do what he can without Congress to close the facility. He wants Obama to appoint an official in charge of relocating the more than 80 detainees at the camp who have been cleared for release.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne FeinsteinDianne FeinsteinA guide to the committees: Senate Dem: Trump's China trademark looks like a quid pro quo Senate advances Trump's Commerce pick MORE (D-Calif.), another vocal opponent of Guantánamo, wrote to the White House last month urging a transfer of the cleared detainees.
Levin said that, while the defense authorization bill has restricted the administration's ability to transfer detainees, a national security waiver provided a "clear route" to moving detainees to some third countries.
Levin told The Hill on Tuesday that he had yet to receive a response to his letter.
Sen. John McCainJohn McCainFather of slain Navy SEAL wants investigation A stronger NATO for a safer world Drug importation won't save dollars or lives MORE (R-Ariz.), who supports closing Guantánamo, said he has spoken with the White House recently about its efforts, but complained that a detailed plan has yet to be put forward.
"He's never come up with a viable plan," McCain said. "We have already committed to try to work with the president to close Guantánamo. The devil is in the details."
Obama said last month that he "going to go back at this," and he is expected to lay the groundwork for plans to close Guantánamo in his Thursday speech, which will also focus on drones, targeted killing and the war against al Qaeda.
"I think it is critical for us to understand that Guantánamo is not necessary to keep America safe," Obama said. "It is expensive. It is inefficient. ... It is a recruitment tool for extremists. It needs to be closed."
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday that Obama "is determined to see the facility closed, and that he will address that subject in his speech."
White House officials have said that the president is considering a range of options, including reappointing an official to the vacant State Department position for moving detainees, as lawmakers have called for.
White House officials say the administration will also work to implement a Periodic Review Board that was established to help facilitate the release of detainees, but which was not fully developed.
There could be additional momentum to act because the situation at Guantánamo has deteriorated recently amid an unprecedented hunger strike that has grown to more than 100 detainees — more than half the prison's population.
"It's getting uglier and uglier at Gitmo," Rep. Adam SmithAdam SmithTop Dem on hiring freeze hitting military child care: Trump 'should be embarrassed' A guide to the committees: House Tax fairness critical to sustaining growth of energy sector MORE (D-Wash.), said in an interview.
"The level of embarrassment is growing and the cost is growing, so is that enough to persuade them that it's time to change positions?" said Smith, who has fought congressionally passed restrictions on Guantánamo.
"We're going to have that debate."
Opponents of the president's Guantánamo plans, however, say the steps suggested by the White House thus far have not convinced them the prison should be closed.
Many Republicans argue the administration's opposition to holding terrorism suspects on U.S. soil under military detention makes moving Guantánamo detainees onto U.S. soil a nonstarter.
There was a large backlash to the administration's plans in 2009 to try alleged 9/11 terror mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in the civilian court system in New York City. The administration backed away from that idea and has restarted the military tribunal process.
"If they do move inside the United States, at some secure location, we've got to have a legal system that recognizes the difference between fighting terrorism and fighting traditional crime," said Sen. Lindsey GrahamLindsey GrahamThe Hill's 12:30 Report Back to the future: Congress should look to past for Fintech going forward CNN to host town hall featuring John McCain, Lindsey Graham MORE (R-S.C.).
"If he doesn't embrace a national security-centric legal approach, I think it would be impossible to close Guantánamo Bay."
Sen. Jeff SessionsJeff SessionsIntel, Yahoo join legal brief supporting transgender rights Cotton: Special prosecutor talk is 'getting ahead of ourselves' Dem 2020 hopefuls lead pack in opposing Trump Cabinet picks MORE (R-Ala.) said that the administration has adapted a position in which it would prefer to kill terrorism suspects in places like Yemen with drones, rather than capture them and put them in military detention.
"His position on Guantánamo, which arose in the campaign, was untenable. He should never have made that promise," Sessions told The Hill.
Opponents of military detention, such as Feinstein, argue that the federal courts have long prosecuted terrorists and are much more successful at doing so than the military tribunal system.
Human rights advocates, who have been frustrated by the lack of action from the White House in the president's first term, say there is a new sense of optimism that Obama will make a real push to get the prison closed.
Andrea Prasow, senior counterterrorism counsel at Human Rights Watch, said the White House needs to take the first step by restarting transfers.
"We need to see some detainees leaving Gitmo not in body bags," she said. "Congress I think is ready to support the president, but I think the gestures have to be in good faith."
Prasow said there's been renewed public attention to the issue in the wake of the massive hunger strike, but both Sessions and Graham said that would do little to change their minds.
"You can't allow a hunger strike to say, 'Oh they're on a hunger strike, they've all got to be released,' " Sessions said.

Comedy Theatre in New York - February 2017
Our carefully curated selection of the Best Comedy Theatre in New York for the month of February 2017
From Trey Parker and Matt Stone, four-time Emmy Award-winning creators of South Park comes this outrageously funny and risque Broadway musical about a pair of mismatched Mormon boys sent on a mission to a place that's about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get.

Avenue Q is a provocative and subversive coming of age tale told with puppets. Think Book of Mormon meets Sesame Street.

More info
Count Basie Theatre : 26th February
A sinfully funny night of interactive comedy - part stand-up routine, part comedy theater, and part catechism class where you're expected to participate, or FACE THE WRATH! Only kidding. The show itself is a form of participatory theatre where the only person on stage is an actress playing the nun and is designed to help fund retired nuns in the US for whom the Catholic Church opted out of providing social security. Even though it has since been reinstated, funds raised from the presenting performance goes to the local monastery or convent. Get your uniforms and books out for class, and prepare to laugh the night away! More info
No one in the news is safe!

More info

More info
Stage 4 New World Stages : Closes 30th April 2017
An autobiographical one-woman show, the writer behind comedy shows like Roseanne, Mad About You and (the Emmy-winning) Rugrats, Monica Piper tackles the ups and downs of being an unwilling New York showbiz kid in this captivating show that has already won over audiences on the West Coast. From reliant Jewish princess to self-reliant comedian, this show charts Piper's rise in comedy from her fame-deluged beginnings, and just why she is one of the front-running female writers in the comedy show genre. More info
Classic Stage Theater : Closes 26th February 2017
David Ives (Venus in Furs) brings his adaptation of the classic farce Pierre Corneille's Le Lenteur to the Classic Stage Company.

This Off-Broadway production of Ives' witty take boasts a cast that includes Broadway alum Carson Erod (Peter and the Starcatcher). More info
One actor has at least five shorts of whiskey and attempts to perform a Shakespearean play in a hilarious and totally unpredictable evening! More info
Perfect Crime goes well beyond traditional mystery play. It is a sexy, compelling thriller, with well-timed surprises and laughs that relieve a growing dramatic tension. The main character is a Harvard-educated psychiatrist accused of bumping off her wealthy British husband. But when a handsome young detective comes calling to investigate, is everything as straight-cut as it appears? More info

Men's basketball
Keith Dambrot -- "I think the team is going to be a very, very good team. We just need to get our pieces back (referring to Middleton and Steward)."
On Middleton: "That guy is the heart and soul of our team."
On what he learned tonight: "I needed to find out whether McNees can play and whether Bardo can play. I think Bardo did some good stuff. He's very good defensively. I thought McNees played well offensively. He's a scorer. I'll say that."
On the team's effort tonight: "They punched us in the mouth early. We didn't play well together. We didn't guard well."
On Steward's return: "It doesn't look good to me. He can't walk without a limp. He would have pushed to start. I'm going in thinking we're not (going to redshirt him). A lot of it depends on if the other guy (Darryl Roberts) is eligible."
On McNees' defense: "We built the program around defense. I told McNees, 'You're good on offense. I'll play you some. But you need to get better on defense.'"
On Walsh's 7-footer Eder Araujo, who grabbed nine rebounds but was 1-for-11 on field goals: "He could play for a lot of teams (in the MAC). He's better than the guy Kent got (Gabe Garcia)."
On Swiech's possible redshirt: "Ask me in two days." (He implied we should pay attention to how much he played tonight as an indicator.
On Conyers: He's gotten better "belief-wise offensively. A lot of it was rust."
His thoughts on the rotation...
1 - McNees, Middleton 2 - Dials, Middleton 3 - Linhart, Conyers 4 - Milum, McKnight 5 - Wood, Bardo
Cedrick Middleton -- "Last year, how it ended... The fact that that was our last game was hard for us. It took me weeks, months to get over it."
On McNees: "Being here for four years of Coach D, he'll learn to play defense." (He suggested that McNees' defensive shortcoming has become a running joke on the team.)
On his sore knee: "We're just taking precaution." (If this was a regular season game, Dambrot said he'd play.)
On the faster paced offense: "We always want to run the break."
Nick Dials -- "It was very subpar on our part. We didn't play hard from the beginning."
About the MAC Championship loss: "It adds to our maturity. We don't want to put ourselves in the position to lose on a game winner."
On going to Alaska: "I don't want to do it. I don't want to travel no nine hours on a plane."
