True to his word, DeJuan Blair, who sat out Tuesday's game against Belmont at the Petersen Events Center due to swelling in his right knee, went through a full practice without any problems and will leave Pittsburgh today for New Jersey. An X-ray taken Wednesday confirmed what a previous MRI showed that there was no damage to his knee.
"It was a surprise to all of us,'' Dixon said, "because he hadn't had anything like this happen for three years. There was some inflammation in the knee, but there was no pain. He wanted to play (against Belmont), but we erred on the side of caution. We have very conservative trainers.''
Blair had reconstructive surgery on both knees while at Schenley High School in Pittsburgh, but he had not had any problems since then. Dixon believed the issue was not significant, and the medical tests proved that.
The 6-foot-7, 265-pound Blair leads Pitt with 17.5 points and 13.5 rebounds per game with a double-double in three of the for games he has played so far. Sam Young also averages 17.5 points per game to go with 5.2 rebounds.
"He means a lot to our team, and we'll be glad to get him back,'' Young said.
Senior forward Tyrell Biggs averages eight points and 4.6 rebonds per game, while the other two starters are senior point guard Levance Fields (13.6 points) -- who has 38 assists and just five turnovers in five games -- and junior two-guard Jermaine Dixon with 7.8 points per game.
The top subs so far are freshmen Ashton Gibbs (5-for-11 from 3-point range), Travon Woodall (13 assists in 54 minutes) and Nasir Robinson (53.8-percent shooting, nine assists).
No. 4 Pitt (5-0) plays Texas Tech (5-0) in the Legends Classic Friday at approximately 7:30 p.m. following the Washington State-Mississippi State game. The first-day losers and winners meet Saturday at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., respectively. Texas Tech is coached by Pat Knight, son of college basketball coaching legend Bobby Knight.
This is the first meeting for Pitt against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders, like their high-scoring football brethren, lit-up the scoreboard Nov. 20 with an incredible 167 points against East Central University from Ada, Okla. The ECU Tigers scored 115 points in that game.
Pitt is no stranger to the New Jersey-New York area. In fact, it's like the Panthers' second home, as they are 9-1 in the region in recent games. Also, over the past seven seasons, Pitt has tallied a 26-9 record in the New Jersey-New York area. Those contests include games played in Madison Square Garden, Continental Airlines Arena and at St. John's, Seton Hall and Rutgers.
Four Panthers -- Biggs (Nanuet, N.Y./Don Bosco Prep, N.J.), Fields (Brooklyn, N.Y./Xaverian H.S.), Gibbs (Scotch Plains, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) and Woodall (Brooklyn, N.Y./St. Anthony H.S.) -- are natives of the region. Current assistant coach, former Pitt player and "Legend'' Brandin Knight is an East Orange, N.J. native.
This is the ninth consecutive year that the Pitt men's basketball team begins a season with a 5-0 start. The Panthers defeated Belmont 74-60 Tuesday, as senior forward Young scored a career-high and Petersen Events Center record with 33 points on 13-for-17 shooting. With an 86-60 win against Indiana (Pa.) in the previous game last Saturday, Pitt claimed its 100th victory at the Pete and is 101-10 all-time now at the arena.
Pitt has also defeated Akron (86-67), Miami, Ohio (82-53) and Fairleigh Dickinson (86-63) this season. Through its first five games, Pitt has outscored the opposition by a 22.2-point margin and outrebounded its opponents by a plus-8.4 advantage. The Panthers are also converting 54.1 percent (157-290) of their field-goal attempts and limiting opponents to 36.2-percent shooting.
HDNet will provide live television coverage of all four Legends Classic games. Michael Reghi will serve as play-by-play announcer joined by Jim Spanarkel and Seth Davis (color commentary). Scott Ferrier will produce. HDNet is the first hi-definition national television network. The channel is available throughout the United States on Bright House Networks, DirectTV, Charter Communications, Comcast, Insight Communications, Mediacom, Time Warner, NCTC affiliated cable systems, Verizon Fios, Bell Express Vu, Star Choice, Shaw and Cogeco. The channel is not carried by Pittsburgh's Comcast Cable network.

After a week of video work and scheduling, the Bucks will head back to the practice court next week to resume pre-draft workouts.
The Bucks did not attend a three-day draft combine involving 36 players in New Jersey this week as they decided their time would be better spent breaking down video of players and putting together a busy week of workouts next week.
The Bucks plan on working out six players every day next week from Monday through Friday. They have already brought 30 players to town for workouts. The Bucks had already seen or worked out many of the players that were at the New Jersey combine.
"Most of the guys that were there were guys that we had just seen in Minnesota and/or they were coming in to visit us," said director of scouting Billy McKinney. "And, the list became a little watered down…guys that we might have had interest in or some guys that backed out.
"So we just decided to spend the week in the office and we spent the entire week going over video of guys we felt we needed to be more familiar with. So every day this week we spent doing that and then we start the workouts again Monday.
"Every day next week, we'll be booked up with watching players in workouts."
McKinney estimated that by the end of next week, the Bucks will have seen or worked out about 90 players.
McKinney said that putting together the five workouts for next week was a very time-consuming process, especially since they want to create some good match ups in the workouts.
"One of the reasons we had this week (without workouts) was to give us some time to watch video but it's also the scheduling issue," said McKinney. "We're trying to get good groups to work out so we get a chance to see guys compete against each other that we might have interest in. The difficulty is that 29 other teams are trying to do the same thing."
The Bucks announce what players will be working out on the morning of the workout. McKinney said that next week they would be bringing in players that will probably be drafted late in the first round or early in the second. Along with some that may be available when the Bucks exercise their 15th pick in the first round.
"It'll kind of be a variety actually," said McKinney. "We have potential first-round picks and second-round picks coming in."

Walker Percy's The Moviegoer at Fifty: New Takes on an Iconic American Novel has just been released from LSU Press. This well-received collection of twelve new essays includes a contribution from Jonathan Potter and Read Mercer Schuchardt revisiting "The Moviegoer's Cinematic References."
This is the first critical work devoted solely to Percy's debut novel. Coinciding with the centenary of his birth, this collection offers fresh perspectives that underscore the novel's ongoing relevance.
Reader Aaron Hoffer sends us a link to an interpretive review of The Sopranos in the Washington Post (12 March 2006), which includes this interesting idea: ìThe mob story, it might be argued, replaced the Western as the great American epic in the last third of the 20th century. As the counterculture was shredding the myth of the West into a million little pieces with movies such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Wild Bunch" and even "Midnight Cowboy," the first two "Godfather" movies were winning Best Picture Oscars. Those films retold the American epic on the urban frontier. "Goodfellas" solidified the idea that "Mafia + Movie = Art."î A story of the American Dream, a sitcom in dramatic drag. A nice read. Thanks, Aaron.

Execution of the Romanov family
The Russian Imperial Romanov family (Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Tsarina Alexandra and their five children Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei) and all those who chose to accompany them into imprisonment – notably Eugene Botkin, Anna Demidova, Alexei Trupp and Ivan Kharitonov – were shot, bayoneted and clubbed to death in Yekaterinburg on 17 July 1918.[1] The Tsar and his family were killed by Bolshevik troops led by Yakov Yurovsky under the orders of the Ural Regional Soviet. Their bodies were then mutilated, burned and buried in a field called Porosenkov Log in the Koptyaki forest.[2]
Despite being informed that "the entire family suffered the same fate as its head",[3] the Bolsheviks only announced Nicholas's death,[4][5] with the official press release that "Nicholas Romanov's wife and son have been sent to a secure place."[3] For over four years, as late as April 1922,[6] the Soviet leadership continuously denied that the entire Romanov family was dead.[7] The emergence of Romanov impostors drew media attention away from Soviet Russia,[7] and discussion regarding the fate of the family was suppressed by Joseph Stalin from 1938.[8]
The burial site was discovered in 1979 by an amateur sleuth,[9] but the remains were not made public until 1989, during the glasnost period.[10] However, the remains were disinterred by Soviet officials in a hasty exhumation that wrecked the site, destroying evidence in the process.[10] The identity of the remains was confirmed by forensic and DNA investigation. They were reburied in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg in 1998,[11] 80 years after they were killed, in a funeral that was not attended by key members of the Russian Orthodox Church, who disputed the authenticity of the remains.[12] A second, smaller grave containing the remains of two Romanov children missing from the larger grave was discovered by amateur archeologists in 2007.[9] However, their remains are kept in a state repository pending further DNA tests.[13] No one was ever prosecuted for the murders, on the basis that those who perpetrated the crime are dead.[13]
Some historians attribute the order to the government in Moscow, specifically Yakov Sverdlov and Vladimir Lenin, who wished to prevent the rescue of the Imperial Family by the approaching Czechoslovak Legion (fighting with the White Army against the Bolsheviks) during the ongoing Russian Civil War.[14][15] This is supported by a passage in Leon Trotsky's diary.[16] An investigation led by Vladimir Solovyov concluded in 2011 that, despite the opening of state archives in the post-Soviet years, there is yet no written document found that indicates that either Lenin or Sverdlov instigated the orders; however, they did endorse the executions after they occurred.[17][18][19][20] Lenin had close control over the Romanovs although he ensured his name was not associated with their fate in any official documents.[21]
On 22 March 1917, Nicholas, no longer a monarch and addressed with contempt by the sentries as "Nicholas Romanov", was reunited with his family at the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoe Selo. He was placed under house arrest with his family by the Provisional Government, surrounded by guards and confined to their quarters.[22]
In August 1917, Alexander Kerensky's provisional government evacuated the Romanovs to Tobolsk, allegedly to protect them from the rising tide of revolution. There they lived in the former governor's mansion in considerable comfort. After the Bolsheviks came to power in October 1917, the conditions of their imprisonment grew stricter, and talk of putting Nicholas on trial grew more frequent. Nicholas was forbidden to wear epaulettes, and the sentries scrawled lewd drawings on the fence to offend his daughters. On 1 March 1918, the family was placed on soldier's rations, which meant parting with 10 devoted servants and giving up butter and coffee.[23]
As the Bolsheviks gathered strength, the government in April moved Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria to Yekaterinburg under the direction of Vasily Yakovlev. Alexei was too ill to accompany his parents and remained with his sisters Olga, Tatiana, and Anastasia, not leaving Tobolsk until May 1918. The family was imprisoned with a few remaining retainers in Yekaterinburg's Ipatiev House, which was designated The House of Special Purpose (Russian: Дом Особого Назначения).
The Romanovs were being held by the Red Army in Yekaterinburg, since Bolsheviks initially wanted to put them on trial. As the civil war continued and the White Army (a loose alliance of anti-Communist forces) was threatening to capture the city, the fear was that the Romanovs would fall into White hands. This was unacceptable to the Bolsheviks for two reasons: first, the tsar or any of his family members could provide a beacon to rally support to the White cause; second, the tsar, or any of his family members if the tsar were dead, would be considered the legitimate ruler of Russia by the other European nations. This would have meant the ability to negotiate for greater foreign intervention on behalf of the Whites. Soon after the family was executed, the city fell to the White Army.
In mid-July 1918, forces of the Czechoslovak Legion were closing on Yekaterinburg, to protect the Trans-Siberian Railway, of which they had control. According to historian David Bullock, the Bolsheviks falsely believed that the Czechoslovaks were on a mission to rescue the family, panicked and executed their wards. The Legions arrived less than a week later and on 25 July captured the city.[24]
During the imperial family's imprisonment in late June, Pyotr Voykov and Alexandre Beloborodov directed the smuggling of letters written in French to the Ipatiev House claiming to be a monarchist officer seeking to rescue them, composed at the behest of the Cheka.[25] These fabricated letters, along with the Romanov responses to them (written either on blank spaces or on the envelope),[26] provided the Central Executive Committee in Moscow with further justification to 'liquidate' the imperial family.[27] Yurovsky later observed that by responding to the faked letters, Nicholas "had fallen into a hasty plan by us to trap him".[28]
The Ural Regional Soviet agreed in a meeting on 29 June that the Romanov family should be liquidated. Filipp Goloshchyokin arrived in Moscow on 3 July with a message insisting on the Tsar's execution.[29] Only seven of the 23 members of the Central Executive Committee were in attendance, three of whom were Lenin, Sverdlov and Felix Dzerzhinsky.[30] It was agreed that the presidium of the Ural Regional Soviet should organize the practical details for the family's execution and decide the precise day on which it would take place when the military situation dictated it, contacting Moscow for final approval.[31]
The killing of the Tsar's wife and children was also discussed but had to be kept a state secret to avoid any political repercussions; British consul Thomas Preston and German ambassador Wilhelm von Mirbach made repeated enquiries to the Bolsheviks concerning the family's well-being.[32] As Trotsky would later explain, "The Tsar's family was a victim of the principle that form the very axis of monarchy: dynastic inheritance", for which their deaths were a necessity.[33] The commandant of the Ipatiev House was replaced by Yakov Yurovsky on 4 July.[34] Goloshchyokin reported back to Ekaterinburg on 12 July with a summary of his discussion about the Romanovs with Moscow,[30] along with instructions that nothing relating to their deaths should be communicated to Lenin.[35]
Around midnight 17 July 1918, Yakov Yurovsky, the commandant of The House of Special Purpose, ordered the Romanovs' physician, Dr. Eugene Botkin, to awaken the sleeping family and ask them to put on their clothes, under the pretext that the family would be moved to a safe location due to impending chaos in Yekaterinburg.[36] The Romanovs were then ordered into a 6 m × 5 m (20 ft × 16 ft) semi-basement room. Nicholas asked if Yurovsky could bring two chairs, on which Tsarevich Alexei and Alexandra sat.[37]
The prisoners were told to wait in the cellar room while the truck that would transport them was being brought to the House. A few minutes later, an execution squad of secret police was brought in and Yurovsky read aloud the order given him by the Ural Executive Committee:
|Nikolai Alexandrovich, in view of the fact that your relatives are continuing their attack on Soviet Russia, the Ural Executive Committee has decided to execute you.[38]
Nicholas, facing his family, turned and said "What? What?"[39] Yurovsky quickly repeated the order and the weapons were raised. The Empress and Grand Duchess Olga, according to a guard's reminiscence, had tried to cross themselves, but failed amid the shooting. Yurovsky reportedly raised his gun at Nicholas's torso and fired; Nicholas fell dead. Yurovsky then shot Alexei. The other executioners then began shooting chaotically until all the intended victims had fallen. Several more shots were fired and the doors opened to scatter the smoke.[39] There were some survivors, so Peter Ermakov stabbed them with bayonets because the shots could be heard outside.[39] The last to die were Tatiana, Anastasia, and Maria, who were carrying a few pounds (over 1.3 kilograms) of diamonds sewn into their clothing, which had given them a degree of protection from the firing.[40] However, they were speared with bayonets as well. Olga sustained a gunshot wound to the head. Maria and Anastasia were said to have crouched up against a wall covering their heads in terror until they were shot down. Yurovsky himself killed Tatiana and Alexei. Tatiana died from a single bullet through the back of her head.[41] Alexei received two bullets to the head, right behind the ear after the executioners realized he had not been killed by the first shot.[42] Anna Demidova, Alexandra's maid, survived the initial onslaught but was quickly stabbed to death against the back wall while trying to defend herself with a small pillow which she had carried that was filled with precious gems and jewels.[43]
While the bodies were being placed on stretchers, one of the girls, possibly Anastasia, cried out and covered her face with her arm.[44] Ermakov grabbed Alexander Strekotin's rifle and bayoneted her in the chest,[44] but when it failed to penetrate he pulled out his revolver and shot her in the head.[45][46] Some of Pavel Medvedev's stretcher bearers began frisking the bodies for valuables. Yurovsky saw this and demanded that they surrendered any looted items or be shot. The attempted looting, coupled with Ermakov's tardiness, convinced Yurovsky to oversee the burial himself.[46]
The bodies of the Romanovs and their servants were loaded onto a Fiat truck equipped with a 60 HP engine,[46] with a cargo area 6 × 10 feet in size.[44] Heavily laden, the vehicle struggled for nine miles on boggy road to reach the Koptyaki forest. Yurovsky was furious when he discovered that the drunkard Ermakov had brought only one shovel for the burial.[47] About half a mile further on, near crossing no. 185 on the line serving the Verkh-Isetsk works, 25 men working for Ermakov were waiting with horses and light carts. These men were all intoxicated and they were angered when they found out that the imperial family was dead. They were expecting to be part of the lynch mob,[48] and were hoping to "have some fun" with the women before killing them.[49] Yurovsky maintained control of the situation with great difficulty, eventually getting Ermakov's men to shift some of the bodies from the truck onto the carts.[48] A few of Ermakov's men pawed the female bodies for diamonds hidden in their undergarments, two of whom fingered Alexandra's genitals.[49][48] Yurovsky ordered them at gunpoint to back off, dismissing the two who had touched the tsarina's corpse and any others he had caught looting.[49]
The truck was bogged down in an area of marshy ground near the Gorno-Uralsk railway line, during which all the bodies were unloaded onto carts and taken to the burial site.[48] The sun was up by the time the carts came within sight of the mineshaft. Yurovsky's men first gobbled on hardboiled eggs supplied by the local nuns (food that was meant for the imperial family), while the remainder of Ermakov's men were ordered back to the city as Yurovsky did not trust them and was displeased with their drunkenness.[50]
The bodies were stripped of their clothing and valuables by Yurovsky's men, the former piled up and burned while Yurovsky took inventory of their jewellery. The plundered belongings became the property of the new Soviet government.[51] The bodies were then lowered into the shallow pit and sprinkled with sulphuric acid. The muddy water did not fully submerge the corpses as Yurovsky had hoped. He unsuccessfully tried to collapse the mine with hand grenades, after which his men covered it with loose earth and branches.[52] Yurovsky left his men to guard the site while he returned to Ekaterinburg with a bag filled with 18lb of looted diamonds, to report back to Alexandre Beloborodov and Goloshchyokin of the Ural Regional Soviet. It was decided that the pit was too shallow.[53] Yurovsky was told of some deeper copper mines west of Ekaterinburg.[35] He inspected the site on the evening of 17 July and reported back to the Cheka at the Amerikanskaya Hotel. He ordered additional trucks to be sent out to Koptyaki whilst assigning Pyotr Voykov to obtain barrels of petrol, kerosene and sulphuric acid, and plenty of dry firewood. Yurovsky also seized several horse-drawn carts to be used in the removal of the bodies to the new site. [54]
Yurovsky and Goloshchyokin, along with several Cheka agents, returned to the mineshaft at about 4:00am on the morning of 18 July. The sodden corpses were hauled out one by one using ropes and piled onto carts.[53] Yurovsky, worried that he may not have enough time to take the bodies to the deeper mine, instructed his men to dig another burial pit then and there, but the ground was too hard. He returned to the Amerikanskaya Hotel to confer with the Cheka. He seized a single lightweight truck, which he had loaded with blocks of concrete with which the bodies would be weighted before being submerged in the new mineshaft. Yurovsky also acquired a second, heavier truck which would take a detachment of Cheka agents to help move the bodies. By the time he returned to the forest, it was 10:00pm on 18 July. The bodies were again loaded onto the Fiat truck, which had been extricated from the mud.[55]
During transportation to the deeper copper mines on the early morning of 19 July , the Fiat truck carrying the bodies got stuck again in mud near Porosenkov Log (Pig's Meadow). At this point, Yurovsky decided to bury them under the road where the truck had stalled. His men dug a grave that was 6 × 8 feet in size and barely 60 centimetres (2 ft) deep.[56] Alexei Trupp's body was tossed in first, followed by the Tsar's and then the rest. They were again doused in sulphuric acid, their faces smashed with rifle butts and finally covered with quicklime. Wooden rail ties were placed over the grave to disguise it, with the Fiat truck being driven back and forth over the ties to press them into the earth. The burial was finally completed at 6:00am on 19 July [56]
Yurovsky separated the Tsarevich Alexei and one of his sisters, either Maria or Anastasia, to be buried about 15 metres (50 ft) away, in an attempt to confuse anyone who might discover the mass grave with only nine bodies. Alexei and his sister were partially burned and their charred bones dismembered using spades and tossed into a smaller pit.[56] Only 44 partial bone fragments from both corpses remained, which were not found until August 2007.[57]
Ivan Plotnikov, history professor at the Maksim Gorky Ural State University, has established that the executioners were: Yakov Yurovsky, Grigory P. Nikulin, M. A. Medvedev (Kudrin), Peter Ermakov, Stepan Vaganov, A. G. Kabanov, Pavel Medvedev, V. N. Netrebin, and Y. M. Tselms. Filipp Goloshchyokin, a close associate of Yakov Sverdlov, being a military commissar of the Uralispolkom in Yekaterinburg, however did not actually participate, and two or three guards refused to take part.[60] Pyotr Voykov was given the specific task of arranging for the disposal of their remains, obtaining 570 litres (150 gal) of gasoline and 180 kilograms (400 lbs) of sulphuric acid, the latter from the Yekaterinburg pharmacy. After the killings, he was to declare that "The world will never know what we did with them." Voykov served as Soviet ambassador to Poland in 1924, where he was assassinated by a Russian monarchist in July 1927.[61]
The men who were directly complicit in the murder of the imperial family largely survived in the immediate months after the murders.[61] Stepan Vaganov, Ermakov's close associate,[62] was attacked and killed by peasants in late 1918 for his participation in local acts of brutal repression by the Cheka. Pavel Medvedev, head of the Ipatiev House guard and one of the key figures in the murders,[63] was captured by the White Army in Perm in February 1919. He denied taking part in the murders during his interrogation, and died in prison of typhus.[61] Alexandre Beloborodov (president of the Ural Regional Soviet)[30] and his deputy Boris Didkovsky were both killed in 1938 during the Great Purge. At a telegraph office in Ekaterinburg on 18 July 1918, Filipp Goloshchyokin caught Sir Thomas Preston, a British diplomat, attempting to cable Arthur Balfour in London with the message, "The Tsar Nicholas the Second was shot last night."[64] Goloshchyokin snatched the paper and rewrote, "The hangman Tsar Nicholas was shot today - a fate he richly deserved."[64] Ironically, Goloshchyokin was arrested on the orders of Josef Stalin in June 1941 and shot that October in an NKVD prison in Kuybyshev (now Samara, Russia), his body consigned to an unmarked grave.[58]
Three days after the murders, Yurovsky personally reported to Lenin on the events of that night and was rewarded with an appointment to the Moscow City Cheka. He held a succession of key economic and party posts, dying in the comfort of the Kremlin Hospital in 1938 aged 60. Prior to his death, he donated the guns he used in the murders to the Museum of the Revolution in Moscow,[26] and left behind three valuable, though contradictory, accounts of the event. Yurovsky never expressed regret or remorse over the killings, but instead reminisced on his revolutionary career and how "the storm of October" had "turned its brightest side" towards him, making him "the happiest of mortals".[65]
Lenin saw the House of Romanov as "monarchist filth, a 300-year disgrace",[33] and referred to Nicholas II in conversation and in his writings as "the most evil enemy of the Russian people, a bloody executioner, an Asiatic gendarme" and "a crowned robber."[66] The written record taking the chain of command and the ultimate responsibility for the fate of the Romanovs back to Lenin was, from the beginning, either never made or carefully concealed.[33] Lenin operated with extreme caution, his favoured method being to issue instructions in coded telegrams, insisting that the original and even the telegraph ribbon on which it was sent be destroyed. Uncovered documents in Archive No. 2 (Lenin), Archive No. 86 (Sverdlov) as well as the archives of the Council of People's Commissars and the Central Executive Committee reveal that a host of party 'errand boys' were regularly designated to relay his instructions, either by confidential notes or anonymous directives made in the collective name of the Sovnarkom.[21] In all such decisions Lenin regularly insisted that no written evidence be preserved. The 55 volumes of Lenin's Collected Works as well as the memoirs of those who directly took part in the murders were scrupulously censored, emphasising the roles of Sverdlov and Goloshchyokin.
Lenin was, however, aware of Vasily Yakovlev's decision to take Nicholas, Alexandra and Maria further on to Omsk instead of Ekaterinburg in April 1918, having become worried about the extremely threatening behaviour of the Ural Soviets in Tobolsk and along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The Biographical Chronicle of Lenin's political life confirms that first Lenin (between 1800 and 1900) and then Lenin and Sverdlov together (between 2130 and 2350) had direct telegraph contact with the Ural Soviets about Yakovlev's change of route. Despite Yakovlev's request to take the family further away to the more remote Simsky Gorny District in Ufa province (where they could hide in the mountains), warning that "the baggage" would be destroyed if given to the Ural Soviets, Lenin and Sverdlov were adamant that they be brought to Ekaterinburg.[67] The task of Soviet historiography was to protect Lenin's reputation at all costs and thus ensure that no discredit was brought on him. In this respect, responsibility for the 'liquidation' of the Romanovs went to the Ural Regional Soviet and Ekaterinburg Cheka.[21]
Early next morning, when rumours spread in Yekaterinburg about the disposal site, Yurovsky removed the bodies and hid them elsewhere (56°56′32″N 60°28′24″E / 56.942222°N 60.473333°E). When the vehicle carrying the bodies broke down on the way to the next chosen site, Yurovsky made new arrangements, and buried most of the acid-covered bodies in a pit sealed and concealed with rubble, covered over with railroad ties and then earth (56°54′41″N 60°29′44″E / 56.9113628°N 60.4954326°E) on Koptyaki Road, a cart track (subsequently abandoned) 19 kilometres (12 mi) north of Yekaterinburg.
On the afternoon of 19 July, Filipp Goloshchyokin announced at the Opera House on Glavny Prospekt that "Nicholas the bloody" had been shot and his family taken to another place.[68] Sverdlov granted permission for the local paper in Ekaterinburg to publish the "Execution of Nicholas, the Bloody Crowned Murderer – Shot without Bourgeois Formalities but in Accordance with our new democratic principles",[69] along with the coda that "the wife and son of Nicholas Romanov have been sent to a safe place".[70] An official announcement appeared in the national press, two days later. It reported that the monarch had been executed on the order of Uralispolkom under pressure posed by the approach of the Czechoslovaks.[71] Although official Soviet accounts place the responsibility for the decision with the Uralispolkom, an entry in Leon Trotsky's diary reportedly suggested that the order had been given by Lenin himself. Trotsky wrote:
My next visit to Moscow took place after the fall of Yekaterinburg. Talking to Sverdlov I asked in passing, "Oh yes and where is the Tsar?" "It's all over," he answered. "He has been shot." "And where is his family?" "And the family with him." "All of them?" I asked, apparently with a touch of surprise. "All of them," replied Yakov Sverdlov. "What about it?" He was waiting to see my reaction. I made no reply. "And who made the decision?" I asked. "We decided it here. Ilyich [Lenin] believed that we shouldn't leave the Whites a live banner to rally around, especially under the present difficult circumstances."[16]
However, as of 2011 there has been no conclusive evidence that either Lenin or Sverdlov gave the order.[17] V.N. Solovyov, the leader of the Investigative Committee of Russia's 1993 investigation on the shooting of the Romanov family,[18] has concluded that there is no reliable document that indicates that either Lenin or Sverdlov were responsible.[19][20] He declared:
According to the presumption of innocence, no one can be held criminally liable without guilt being proven. In the criminal case, an unprecedented search for archival sources taking all available materials into account was conducted by authoritative experts, such as Sergey Mironenko, the director of the largest archive in the country, the State Archive of the Russian Federation. The study involved the main experts on the subject – historians and archivists. And I can confidently say that today there is no reliable document that would prove the initiative of Lenin and Sverdlov.— V.N. Solovyov[19]
In 1993, the report of Yakov Yurovsky from 1922 was published. According to the report, units of the Czechoslovak Legion were approaching Yekaterinburg. On 17 July 1918, Yakov and other Bolshevik jailers, fearing that the Legion would free Nicholas after conquering the town, murdered him and his family. The next day, Yakov departed for Moscow with a report to Sverdlov. As soon as the Czechoslovaks seized Ekaterinburg, his apartment was pillaged.[72]
|Skull of Skeleton №4 (Nikolai Romanov)
Over the years, a number of people claimed to be survivors of the ill-fated family. In May 1979, the remains of most of the family and their retainers were found by amateur enthusiasts, who kept the discovery secret until the collapse of Communism.[73] In July 1991, the bodies of five family members (the Tsar, Tsarina, and three of their daughters) were exhumed.[74] After forensic examination[75] and DNA identification,[76] the bodies were laid to rest with state honors in the St. Catherine Chapel of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, where most other Russian monarchs since Peter the Great lie.[12] President Boris Yeltsin and his wife attended the funeral along with Romanov relations, including Prince Michael of Kent. The remaining two bodies of Tsesarevich Alexei and one of his sisters were discovered in 2007.[77][78]
On 15 August 2000, the Russian Orthodox Church announced the canonization of the family for their "humbleness, patience and meekness".[79] However, reflecting the intense debate preceding the issue, the bishops did not proclaim the Romanovs as martyrs, but passion bearers instead (see Romanov sainthood).[79] On 1 October 2008, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation ruled that Nicholas II and his family were victims of political repression and rehabilitated them.[80][81]
On Thursday, 26 August 2010, a Russian court ordered prosecutors to reopen an investigation into the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family, although the Bolsheviks believed to have shot them in 1918 had died long before. The Russian Prosecutor General's main investigative unit said it had formally closed a criminal investigation into the killing of Nicholas because too much time had elapsed since the crime and because those responsible had died. However, Moscow's Basmanny Court ordered the re-opening of the case, saying that a Supreme Court ruling blaming the state for the killings made the deaths of the actual gunmen irrelevant, according to a lawyer for the Tsar's relatives and local news agencies.[82]

Barratt to build for the future
The reporting season for housebuilders continues with Barratt Development's interim figures on Wednesday. Thanks to its update last month, we know the group expects operating profits over the period to have risen 40 per cent, so a key factor will be whether it believes it can continue at this level.
Drax hit by risein coal costs
Drax announces its full-year results tomorrow and Deutsche Bank is expecting its operating profits to have fallen over 20 per cent to £267m thanks largely to an increase in coal costs. But the City will be more interested in the Government's future decision on continued support for producing renewable electricity.
Good news for tobacco giant
After Imperial Tobacco released its first-quarter figures earlier in the month, it is British American Tobacco's turn to update the market on Thursday. Citigroup believes the group will announce earnings-per-share for the year of 194p, which would be a jump of 10.4 per cent from the previous 12 months.
Lloyds to reveal full-year results
Lloyds Banking Group will report its full-year results this week, with boss Antonio Horta-Osorio at the helm having missed the group's last update in November when he was on sick leave. One of the key areas of focus, according to Morgan Stanley's Chris Manners, will be impairment charges.
UK customers among fussiest
The UK insurance industry is coming under fire from consumers, as British customers become increasingly demanding, according to a report. The number of British consumers who change insurance suppliers is double the European average. It is on the rise as the growth of the internet makes it easier to compare deals between rival suppliers, according to Ernst & Young's Insurance Consumer Survey, of 24,000 people across the continent.
Challenge to 'big four' dominance
The major challengers to the big four accountants have told the Competition Commission that the audit market for listed companies must be opened up. The commission is holding an inquiry into the dominance of KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young and Price water house Coopers in examining the accounts of publicly traded companies. They audit all but one of the firms in the FTSE 100. The exception is Randgold Resources, which uses BDO Stoy Hayward.
The Independent on Sunday
British Gas owner stokes anger The backlash against the "Big Six" energy providers will intensify this week when British Gas-owner Centrica announces a profit leap in the face of growing fuel poverty and high utility bills. Centrica is expected to unveil a group profit of about £2.5bn for 2011 on Thursday, up 20 per cent.
The Sunday Telegraph
HSBC set to snub £20bn aid plan HSBC is considering walking away from George Osborne's plans to inject £20bn into the UK economy in what could be a major blow to the Chancellor's hopes of reviving growth. The bank is understood to feel that the Chancellors loan guarantee scheme is too expensive.
The Mail on Sunday
Bookies raise the stakes on loyalty Bookmakers are planning loyalty card schemes in a move condemned by opponents as "reprehensible" amid fears they could encourage problem gambling. Ladbrokes, for example, is expanding its "Odds On" loyalty card from over-the-counter bets to fixed-odds betting terminals.
The Sunday Times
£4bn losses for bailed-out banks Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland, bailed out by the government at the height of the financial crisis, will this week reveal combined losses of at least £4bn. The deficit will revive fears that taxpayers will have to wait several more years to recoup their £66bn investment.Reuse content

back for a tenth year
Free to attend!
Plans are afoot for our tenth year on 19 – 21 May 2017. We're busy working on things right now but here's a taste of what's in store…
Aspall Polo on the Beach will be a three day festival of polo and family beach fun on Friday 19, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 May.
There will be lots to do on the beach, as well as world-class polo. Everything will kick off in the arena from 3pm each day and a polo match will be played on Friday and Saturday from 6.30pm.
But there will be much more than just polo!
On Friday evening following the trophy presentations there will be a food-led event on the beach and on Saturday from 7.30pm we will have our annual ticketed Polo on the Beach party.
There will be lots of exciting events and activities inside the arena and on the beach in the build-up to our main polo matches, including polo demonstrations, a horse display team, Segway polo and a return of the popular Sunday family dog show from St Francis Home for Animals.
The festival feel will continue well into the night with live music.
Street food stalls will line the arena alongside a Champagne garden and Aspall beach bar.
But most importantly, it will be FREE to attend!
We look forward to seeing you on 19-21 May 2017.
Three main events across an action packed weekend
Conde Nast Traveller 1 August 2014
"There was yet more sparkle to spectator sport this month in Cornwall at Watergate Bay, where England player Jamie Le Hardy competed at Polo on the Beach. Match times were determined by the tide, but bubbly flowed all day from the shiny Airstream parked on the sand."

Carnival Freedom - Cozumel, Costa Rica, Panama Canal: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by Pattylibrarian
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Freedom - Cozumel, Costa Rica, Panama Canal
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Cabin: Excellent. Our interior cabin was much better than I expected, great bathroom, huge bed, lots of closet space. Loved it.
Entertainment: Excellent. Great, Broadway caliber shows. This might have been the best part of the cruise. Comedians were good. Live music throughout the ship was very good, we loved the girl singer and the reggae band.
Dining: Very very good. Lots of choices, no disappointments. We cruised with another couple and had a 4-top table to ourselves. All dining staff very nice. Waiters did singing dancing numbers every night that was fun. We had 2 formal attire nights. The buffets were very good too. For lunch, we especially enjoyed the pizza and hamburgers available on deck.
Ship activities: we didn't do much except go in the hot tub, read on deck and watch More the movies. Not a lot of kids on board and I guess the ones there were off by themselves anyway so that was good.
Ports/excursions: We didn't do an excursion in Cozumel, just got off the ship and walked through the shops - obviously Carnival affiliated but nice enough. Beautiful water at port. Limon, Costa Rica - we did the Banana Plantation trip. Expensive, was ok. Nice people, hazardous roads, abject poverty was disturbing. Panama Canal - we did the Railroad excusion. Expensive but we loved it. Full day, railroad trip then to Miraflores lock. Great and well worth it. If you visit the Panama Canal, I recommend reading David McCullough's "The Path Between the Seas" either before or after you go. Wonderful book.
For the price, we thought this was a great value and we look forward to our next cruise. Less

A teacher protest in Ontario, Canada, has been ruled illegal, and now officials are calling on teachers to resume participation in extracurricular activities, such as sports and clubs. At issue, some say, is an anticipated shift in public opinion away from teachers if the work action continues. Some also say that if the protest goes further, it could affect teachers' political power in the future.

BMI View: The combination of stagnating oil production and faltering public investment spending has sent Equatorial Guinea's economy into a crisis, and we expect the country's GDP to contract by 1.9% in 2013 and 0.4% in 2014. The discovery of new oil fields could provide an upside risk to this forecast, but we doubt that an economic diversification drive of the sort underway in neighbouring Gabon is likely to succeed give n Equatorial Guinea's small population and appalling business environment.
Equatorial Guinea's economy expanded by a factor of 7.1 in US dollar terms between 2000 and 2012 as oil production turned the sleepy backwater into one of Africa's top energy exporters. With just 757,000 people, the country has become the richest per head in Africa. Billions of US dollars in oil revenue have entrenched President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and discouraged economic reforms.
Oil prod uction, however, peaked in 2005 and a sharp fall in energy prices in 2009 battered the economy. Government stimulus programs (which included building a new capital city in the middle of an inaccessible jungle) have had a limited effect. Unless oil production can be increased or new export industries developed, BMI predicts that Equatorial Guinea's economy faces a structural decline over the coming years.

Somewhere in the middle of the night
I heard your lonely cry
I looked to find out where you were
I searched places low and high
Somewhere in the middle of the day
I heard you crying away
I thought I heard you call my name
But I just couldn't say
Somewhere in the middle of my heart
I heard you calling from the start
It was your spirit oh Lord telling me
That you would never part
You had looked for me in the mountains
Where it was so tranquil
You had looked for me in the valleys
Because you had me in your will

Decentralization: A cautionary tale
Kenya's education system blends substantial centralization with elements of local control and school choice. This paper argues that the system creates incentives for local communities to build too many small schools; to spend too much on teachers relative to non-teacher inputs; and to set school fees that exceed those preferred by the median voter and prevent many children from attending school. Moreover, the system renders the incentive effects of school choice counterproductive by undermining the tendency for pupils to switch into the schools with the best headmasters. A randomized evaluation of a program operated by a non-profit organization suggests that budget-neutral reductions in the cost of attending school and increases in non-teacher inputs, financed by increases in class size, would greatly reduce dropout rates without reducing test scores. Moreover, evidence based on transfers into and out of program schools suggests that the population would prefer such a reallocation of expenditures.

The word "L'Occitane" means "the woman from Occitania," which is a region in southern Europe (the Southern half of France, Monaco, parts of Italy and Spain) where Occitan was historically the main language spoken. Hoping to recreate the traditions of the region he called home, Baussan purchased a steam-distiller—then an outdated piece of equipment—and produced his own rosemary essential oil from wild rosemary he harvested himself. The oil sold well at local markets, and was the beginning of the idea that would eventually become L'Occitane En Provence.
Baussan opened the first L'Occitane boutique in Volx, a small village in Provence. He happened upon an unused soap factory in Manosque, another village in Provence, and took it over for the purpose of making vegetable-based soaps using traditional Provençal methods and ingredients.
In the 1990s, a majority stake in the business was sold to fund further expansion, and it eventually wound up in the hands of Reinold Geiger, who partnered with Baussan to expand the company internationally. "En Provence" was added to the company's name in the late 1990s, to enhance the connection between the company's products and Provence for international customers. Today, L'Occitane En Provence has shops in more than 80 countries.
The company is known for its body care products, perfumes and home scents produced using traditional Provence methods and locally-sourced ingredients, such as lavender, rosemary, rose and immortelle. The company encourages traditional agriculture and cultivation in the region. L'Occitane en Provence also supports Fair Trade with women's groups from Burkina Faso who harvest Shea Butter using traditional methods. L'Occitane develops most of it products and ingredients to align with the organic cosmetics specifications of Ecocert.
Designer L`Occitane en Provence has 139 perfumes in our fragrance base. The earliest edition was created in 1991 and the newest is from 2017. L`Occitane en Provence fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Karine Dubreuil, Delphine Thierry, Fabrice Pellegrin, Marion Costero, Alexis Dadier, Julie Masse, Calice Becker, Shyamala Maisondieu, Nadège Legarlantezec, Sophie Truitard, Carmita Magalhães and Jerome Epinette.
