Would YOU trade Lecavalier???
I'm getting sick of hearing people say how Bob Gainey should move to get Vinny Lecavalier.Same old song and dance:"Gainey should trade Ryder,Huet and Streit for Vinny!".Guys,Lecavalier is the best player in the NHL right now and Peter Pocklington ins't in hockey anymore.So Lecavalier ain't going anywhere until,at least,the end of his contract.Why?Picture yourself in Jay Feaster's seat.Some GM,in your own conference calls you:
-"Hi Jay,how you doin'?"
-"Not too bad,who's this?"
-"Bob Gainey,ya know,the GM of a team you're playing four times a year."
-"Hey,what's up?"
-"Well,I was wondering,you still looking for a goalie?"
-"Yeah,my goalies suck"
-"Well how's that?I got a goalie,UFA at the end of the season who's most games played in a season is 42 and has groin problems.I got a goal-scorer who doesn't score goals,UFA as well,and a 6th d-man,UFA as well."
-"OK,what do you want in return?"
-"The best player in the NHL"
So,what do you say if you're Jay Feaster?Personnally,I'd tell Gainey to get lost.
So please,guys,before you suggest a trade,ask yourself that question:"What would I do if I was the other GM?"If everybody did that,we wouldn't see that many ridiculously stupid trade proposals.

First blood to Warriors over probable promotion foes
12:00pm Saturday 5th July 2014 in Sport By Tom Guest, @tomguestWN #WENsport
WORCESTER Warriors have scored an early victory over likely Greene King IPA Championship promotion rivals Bristol.
The Sixways club's community team beat their Ashton Gate-based opponents to the 'Play Award' at the All Party Parliamentary Rugby Union Group Premiership Rugby Community Awards.
Warriors faced stiff competition from Bristol for the prize, but won thanks to their fantastic community work as part of the Homeless Rugby Project they run with Worcester's YMCA.
The awards, staged at the House of Commons, were attended by a number of MPs, Premiership Rugby partners and World Cup winner Jason Robinson.
Community coaches Dave Rogers and Liam Cooper work with the residents of the YMCA on a weekly basis to use rugby as a tool to help change their lives.
Rogers said: "We are delighted to be recognised for the work we have been doing in the community.
"The YMCA residents have been playing touch rugby and some of them have been saying it keeps them occupied instead of doing bad things. But there is a knock-on effect from playing as they are developing confidence, teamwork skills, respect and other values which help them in their general lives.
"We have seen a great response with many residents moving out of the YMCA and getting their own places and six from 18 that we have been working with have already found themselves a job while four have gone to college to study. It's not directly because of our involvement but it's because of the improvements in the values they have been picking up as playing as part of a team."
Cooper added: "Winning the award is an honour and now we are looking to take things to the next level by hopefully setting up an England homeless team in the not-so-distant future."

It took more than a decade, but last night (Feb. 25, 2012) Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) finally returned to Japan to stage a major mixed martial arts (MMA) event.
And it was well worth the wait.
With a record-breaking seven bouts featured on the UFC 144 pay-per-view (PPV) main card from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, including the main event between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar vs. Ben Henderson, it was designed to be an exciting night.
Was it ever.
The 14 fighters went ahead and delivered the goods, which is never a guarantee in a sport where anything can and often does happen. It was only fitting that "The Answer" and "Smooth" finished what Joe Lauzon vs. Anthony Pettis started to kickoff the PPV broadcast.
As expected, when Edgar and Henderson collided their combined result created a dizzying concoction. Whether it was heads bobbing, hair flying, legs whipping, punches whizzing or bodies tumbling, the dynamic pair went bananas for 25 full minutes. Edgar was shifty and precise with his strikes, while Henderson was calm and punishing with his.
Henderson, the much larger fighter, clearly did more damage when he connected, particularly with a heel to the face in the second round that would have likely knocked out everyone else on the lightweight roster not named Frankie Edgar. True to form, however, Edgar absorbed the hellacious heel, barely, and clung on to continue fighting for three more rounds.
It's safe to say that Henderson delivered more damage, but it appeared that Edgar was, unsurprisingly, the much busier fighter. However, he never hurt Henderson, who didn't even look like he was in a fight when all was said and done, while Edgar's face appeared to be on the wrong end of a meat tenderizer.
In the end, the judges awarded the decision to Henderson unanimously in a very close fight, ending Edgar's epic 155-pound title run at least for the near future. He was prematurely asked if he would consider dipping down to Featherweight for a fight against division champion Jose Aldo, to which "The Answer" replied, rightfully, reluctantly.
Make no mistake, that would be an incredible fight; however, his performance against Henderson was admirable and, in the opinion of some, winning. He's proven time and again that he can not only compete with bigger men, but beat them more often than not.
This time Henderson just had his number. And there is nothing wrong with that because he, too, is one very impressive fighter. Hell, the entire division is loaded with them, which means that Henderson is going to have his work cut out for him to retain that shiny new belt.
And I can't wait to watch him ferociously defend it.
Whether he was knocking out dudes, or getting knockout himself, Quinton Jackson made a name for himself in Japan under the Pride FC banner for putting on exciting fights win, lose or draw. Sure, his appearance -- heavy chain, howl and everything else black gaijin -- helped sell his shtick, but the whole package was the appeal.
Power-bomb slams included.
"Rampage" lobbied hard to be on this card, he didn't care who it was against or what was at stake, he just wanted to return to the "Land of the Rising Sun" and bask in its curious glow perhaps one final time in his professional fight career. He got his wish, but unlike the glory days, he wasn't going to get served a can to voraciously devour.
On the contrary, one-time 205-pound super prospect -- Ryan Bader, hungrier than ever after suffering back-to-back losses -- was on the menu. And he wasn't about to go down without putting up a fight. Bader came out with his pistons pumping, hoping to smash the sluggish-looking Jackson (by comparison) and punish him for coming into their fight six pounds too heavy.
Bader was clearly faster and busier, while Jackson -- in typical fashion -- stalked his opponent and looked to land a one-hit quitter that would enthrall the adoring crowd. It never came, but what -- after what appeared to be a decade-long absence -- was a ridiculous power bomb the likes of which we have not seen since he nearly killed Ricardo Arona way back in 2004.
Jackson scooped up Bader alongside the cage midway through the bout, torqued him above above his head and then deposited him face first onto the canvas. It looked terrible -- Bader's neck, shoulder and arm all bent in ways that were grotesquely unnatural. In fact, he admitted that the toss had him momentarily "out," but he managed to recover and continue his assault.
In hindsight, the slam was likely Jackson's only chance of winning the fight -- Bader was just hungrier, and perhaps healthier, routing "Rampage" en route to a clear-cut unanimous decision victory. One that will likely serve as the most important of his MMA career to date because not only did he defeat a legend, but he did it in the place in which that legend was born.
And perhaps was put to rest.
There was always a sneaking suspicion that Cheick Kongo wasn't really a true kickboxer. That's not taking anything away from the Parisian, he's a solid MMA fighter who has defeated several notable opponents. He appeared to sooth those doubts when he stopped a kinda K-1 kickboxer, Pat Barry, in his most recent outing.
But, the true litmus test would be against a decorated former K-1 grand prix champion like Mark Hunt.
What the under-sized New Zealander lacks in stature, he more than makes up for in power and sheer resilience. He's had a difficult transition to MMA, but most of the guys sans a lunatic named Melvin Manhoef knew that their best -- and perhaps only -- way to safely navigate around the portly power puncher was to take him to the ground.
Kongo apparently didn't get the memo.
Hunt did what he always does, standing in the center of the cage and daring his opponent to exchange. Kongo did just that and paid dearly for his poor decision. Hunt clipped him with a nice right hand. It was at this point that his experience showed -- he took his time, picked his punches and eventually had Kongo crashing to the canvas.
Referee Herb Dean stepped in shortly thereafter, and it's hard to blame him -- Hunt has dynamite packed into his paws. Kongo momentarily disputed the stoppage, and it's hard to blame him, too, after the Barry comeback, but things certainly would have gone from bad to worse if it was able to continue much longer.
Hunt received a heartfelt reaction from the Japanese fans in attendance. He was always a crowd pleaser back in the day and he didn't disappoint them last night, either. At 37 years old, Hunt has seemingly found the MMA Fountain of Youth, winning three consecutive bouts inside the Octagon.
That's no small feat at any age. And it couldn't be happening to a more deserving veteran of the sport.
Oh, how the mighty could have fallen.
Heading into his fight against UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre less than one year ago, Jake Shields -- the high-profile, talented Strikeforce import that would finally give "Rush" a run for his money -- was riding an incredible 15-fight win streak.
Currently in the midst of a back-to-back losing skid, he desperately (and suddenly) needed a win against Yoshihiro Akiyama, who was making his 170-pound debut. With his back against the wall, Shields pulled it off, winning a hard-fought unanimous decision over the insanely popular Japanese icon.
It wasn't pretty, but then again, any fight that Shields can't get immediately to the ground is going to look weird. Nonetheless, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist somehow got the job done on the feet when it mattered most. Akiyama, a judo player, scored a handful of very impressive trips, but aside from them, he didn't really do anything.
With three straight losses, and the prospect of tacking on a fourth, he was seemingly under more pressure to win than Shields. But, he didn't. And Akiyama didn't even remotely threaten a very rudimentary stand up fighter in a bout that remained exactly where he needed it to remain to ensure his best chances of winning, which was upright.
It was a puzzling performance and just an overall odd fight. Whatever.
Tim Boetsch was undefeated (2-0) since dropping from Light Heavyweight to Middleweight. It appeared that perfect streak was about to come to a painful end thanks to an absolute thrashing at the hands of Yushin Okami for 10 full minutes.
"Thunder" -- just one fight removed from unsuccessfully contending for Anderson Silva's 185-pound belt -- was cracking clean shots at will in the early going. It appeared that Boetsch was a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest, which only got worse in round two when Okami secured full mount, attempting submissions and raining down punches in bunches.
Boetsch somehow survived.
So when it came time for the third and final round, he and his corner knew that it was go big or go home. "The Barbarian" went big, did he ever, and he went home a come-from-behind winner. He tagged Okami in the early going and then just swarmed him like bees on honey.
At one point, he pinned Okami's face up against the cage and drilled him with uppercuts until he could no longer stand. Amazingly, Okami collapsed to the floor and Boetsch went even more berserk. Fortunately, the referee was nearby to pry him off, but you could tell that even though he had been through hell, Boetsch would have kept going until he was out cold or dead.
He was neither, which is more than Okami can say right about now. Then again, it was a rally for the record books -- Okami looked great up until the final moments.
What a fight!
At first glance, Japanese fans may have thought that the familiar Joachim Hansen was paired opposite Hatsu Hioki, but after the whooping that he received in the first round, it's likely that they soon realized they were only watching the Norwegian's featherweight doppelganger, Bart Palaszewski.
Hioki, the number two-ranked 145-pound fighter in the Consensus MMA Rankings, came out on fire, hammering "Bartimus" with clean punches and then dominating him on the ground with tight control and dangerous submission attempts. To his credit, Palaszewski survived this initial onslaught, turned in a better performance in the second, but then got tooled on the floor once again in the final frame.
Palaszewski never really had a shining moment due in large part to Hioki's smothering, technical attack. He was in way over his head against a fighter, who despite a dubious split decision win over George Roop in his UFC debut, will most likely next challenge UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo for his world title.
Either that, or throw him in against Dustin Poirer in a number one contender eliminator match. Now that's a fight.
Shin, meet Chin.
No, that's not an undisclosed, last-minute local match added spice up the main card. It was Anthony Pettis' lower leg, whapping across the jaw of his lightweight counterpart, Joe Lauzon.
"Showtime" -- a former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) champion -- came out in a southpaw stance and actually unleashed a head kick early that "J-Lau" easily blocked. It was the second attempt shortly thereafter that made it through. And it's safe to say that Lauzon didn't know what hit him -- he collapsed into a heap of mindless flesh almost instantly.
Pettis, naturally, dove in for the kill and added several needless head bouncers before the referee stepped in and saved Lauzon from long-term mental injury. That's now two straight wins for Pettis since his decision loss to Clay Guida in his Octagon debut back in June 2011.
He roared in his post-fight victory speech that he is the best 155-pound fighter in the world and requested a title shot, the one that alluded him when the WEC was merged into the UFC in late 2010.
It's certainly hard to argue otherwise after that sensational finish and his recent body of impressive; however, the winner of the upcoming fight between Jim Miller vs. Nate Diaz might have something to say about it.
That's enough from us. Now it's your turn to discuss UFC 144: "Edgar vs. Henderson" in the comments section below.
Do you agree with the Edgar-Henderson decision? Should "Rampage" retire? Where does Bader go from here? Does watching another Shields fight excite you? Who should Pettis fight next? How much longer can Hunt continue his career renaissance?
Let's hear it, Maniacs.

Tour Saint-Jacques, Paris

Tour Saint-Jacques, Paris
This 52-m Flamboyant Gothic tower is all that remains of the former church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie ("Saint James of the butchery").
The tower's rich decoration reflects the wealth of its patrons, the wholesale butchers of the nearby Les Halles market. The masons in charge were Jean de Felin, Julien Ménart and Jean de Revier. It was built in 1509 to 1523, during the reign of King Francis I. With a dedication to Saint James the Great, the ancient church[2] and its landmark tower welcomed pilgrims setting out on the road that led to Tours and headed for the way of St James, which led to the major pilgrimage destination of Sant'Iago de Compostela.
Nineteenth century
The church, with the exception of the tower, was demolished in 1797; preservation of the tower was a condition of the contract by which the church was bought for the value of its building materials. In 1824 it was being used as a shot tower to make small shot. It was repurchased by the City of Paris in 1836 and declared a Monument Historique in 1862. A statue of the saint was installed on the top of the tower during the 19th century.
During the Second Empire, the architect Théodore Ballu restored the tower, placing it on a pedestal and designing a small city park around it. This coincided with the construction of the rue de Rivoli and the avenue Victoria nearby, requiring huge quantities of earth to be removed to ensure the rue de Rivoli a smooth flat path. The pedestal allowed the tower to retain its original elevation: nowadays, the change in ground level can best be appreciated in rue St-Bon, just northeast of the tower, where a staircase leads up to the original street level at rue de la Verrerie.
Modern restoration
The tower was surrounded by scaffolding and obscured by sheeting for some years as surveyors investigate the condition of the stone. Recent findings show that most of the stone and its ornamentation genuinely originates from the late-medieval era of the tower's construction, and was not added by the 19th-century restorers. Unfortunately, the survey also indicates serious cracking. The top three quarters of sheeting was taken down in March 2008, revealing a renovated upper section of the tower. From October 2008 to February 2009, the scaffolds and sheeting were completely removed and the surrounding park's landscaping was being restored. Finally, on the 18 April 2009, the park was re-opened to the French public.

Overview and History
Welcome to Paris, the City Of Lights, La Ville-Lumiere! We're going to depart from the standard timeline here and just start looking at pictures. You can put the history together in your mind along the way, or live contentedly with an abstract expression of images, whichever you prefer.
For lessons in light from the expressionist masters, blur yourself directly to the Orsay Museum and find Monet, Renoir and Cezanne waiting. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The River Seine divides the city into two halves, called the Left Bank and Right Bank. The right bank is on the north side, left to the south. In general the right bank claims the sophistication and modern development in Paris, while the left bank has the universities, parks and historic areas.
There are two islands on the river in the middle of the city, Ile de la Cite and Ile de St. Louis. Here's a beautiful Flower Market on Ile de la City, which is the oldest section of the city. It's also home to Notre Dame cathedral
The Right Bank has a big hill called Montmartre, literally translating to "Mount Mars" or "Mountain of the Martyr", depending on which time period you take the story from. Its name dates back to at least 250A.D and it's home to the Sacre Coeur Basilica among many other things of note, such as the studios of Salvadore Dali, Picasso and Van Gogh.
And what else? The Champs-Elysees, of course! The Champs-Elysees is the most prestigious avenue in Paris. L'Arc de Triomph stands at the western end of the Champs-Elysees, at the star shaped intersection of twelve major avenues which is called Place d'Etoil. The Arch is a monument to all who fought for France, especially during the Napoleonic wars.
By the way, the sprint finish of the Tour de France -- the most prestigious bicycle race in the world -- comes down the Champs-Elysees. Catch it in the early summer.
You may have heard of a museum called Le Louvre. Before you attempt to visit it, go through some tour de france training to build up your stamina. This is a museum big enough to take your whole summer to walk through, and that's without even stopping to look at any of the art.
Situated right along the river is the Place de la Concord, the largest open square in the city. It's where Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and 2,798 of their closest friends met the guillotine during the French Revolution. The smell of blood was so strong, according to the tale, that a herd of cattle refused to cross the square.
Let's see what we have on the Left Bank. How about Les Invalides, a stately group of museums and monuments dedicated to military history, which also houses a hospital and residences for veterans.
The Left Bank has for decades been the center of academic life in Paris, which can be summed up in a word: La Sorbonne. La Sorbonne is the nickname for the University of Paris, founded in 1257. It sits in a historic scholarly sector called the Latin Quarter, which connects La Sorbonne to the Left Bank (Place Maubert). If Paris was a tropical island, this would be the coral reef.
Near La Sorbonne can be found Le Jardin de Luxembourg, where Marie d'Medici's chateau stands. It's a pleasant little country house in Florentine style. They used it for a prison during the French Revolution and for Luftwaffe headquarters during WWII. It now houses the French Senate.
Shakespeare and Co Library sits in the heart of the Latin Quarter and has earned an international reputation for being more than just a bookshop.
Getting There
Take a look at the Gare du Nord Paris North Station. One of six large train stations in Paris, it's the busiest one in Europe. If you're already on the continent, you very well may arrive here.
As for airports, there are two: Charles De Gualle and Orly. De Gaulle airport is about 25 minutes by train from Gare du Nord station, Orly is a bit closer. Here's the train information for connections to the city.
Here's one of the 380 metro stations in Paris, the Palais-Royale at the Louvre. Looking good! This is Europe's second-largest metro system and it's connected with the buses the commuter rail network to get you around the city.
People and Culture
Beside the fact that Paris contains all walks of life, "people and culture" in Paris is synonymous with food and wine. Here we are smack in the middle of it, La Contrescarpe at Mouffetard Street.
Remember, champagne was perfected here during the Belle Epoque, and you need the proper setting in which to drink it.
And check out this fish shop!! This is what the zoom tool was made for!
In case you're wondering, there's a gritty side to Paris, too. Here's a little mobile graffiti.
In the same vein, by which I mean "cheap" or "free", stroll around Left Bank to the flea market at Place Maubert.
Street musicians are another great thing about Paris. Here are some drummers, some visual artists on the Quai de Conti, and there should be an organ grinder on the corner when you get there. Let me know if you see him.
Things to do & Recommendations
Street food -- get a croque monsieur or croque madam, it's a toasted cheese sandwich with or without ham. They're so good, it's the pizza slice of Paris! I can't for the life of me understand why nobody has shot a panorama of one.
Street food part 2, and I quote:
"the motherfucking best falafel in the world is there in the Marais. it's called La Du's and it's on the Rue de Rosiers. it's the 5th I think, right bank. If you flirt with the take out boys they'll give you more falafel too, I'm not kidding it's a fucking transcendant experience."
"there's also this bar in the 11th, called the baron rouge, where on sunday a friend of the owner drives in from normandy with a truck full of oysters and just parks it in front of the bar and sells oysters out the back and you just eat them on the street and drink Muscadet off the top of parked cars." (Thank you Allison O'Leary)
Spend a little time outdoors in the beautiful Botanical Garden, see if you can find the recycled dragon.
No trip to Paris would ever be complete without... well actually the reason Paris is Paris because you never finish seeing it all.
Move there, spend a lifetime there, walk everyplace you go and you still won't see it all. It's like New York, London or Tokyo; anyplace in such a state of constant change will remain eternally elusive.
I almost said, "no trip to Paris would be complete without going up the Eiffel Tower and seeing the view from the top."

Valles Caldera:
The Trust Has Made Progress but Faces Significant Challenges to Achieve Goals of the Preservation Act
GAO-10-84: Published: Oct 30, 2009. Publicly Released: Oct 30, 2009.

In creating the Valles Caldera National Preserve from a unique parcel of land in north-central New Mexico, and by creating the Valles Caldera Trust as a wholly owned government corporation to manage the preserve, the Valles Caldera Preservation Act of 2000 established a 20-year public-private experiment to operate the preserve without continued federal funding. The Trust is charged with achieving a number of goals, including becoming financially self-sustaining by the end of fiscal year 2015. This report, GAO's second and last mandated by the Preservation Act, examines (1) the Trust's progress since 2000; (2) the extent to which the Trust has fulfilled certain of its obligations as a government corporation; and (3) the challenges the Trust faces to achieve the Preservation Act's goals. GAO analyzed documents, financial records, and other Trust information and interviewed current and former members of the Trust's Board and staff, as well as representatives of local interest groups and stakeholders.
The Trust has taken steps to establish and implement a number of programs and activities to achieve the goals of the Preservation Act. It has rehabilitated roads, buildings, fences, and other infrastructure; created a science program; experimented with a variety of grazing options; taken steps to manage its forests; expanded recreational opportunities; and taken its first steps toward becoming financially self-sustaining. Nevertheless, it is at least 5 years behind the schedule it set for itself in 2004. According to Trust officials, a number of factors--including high turnover among Board members and key staff and cultural and natural resources and infrastructure that were not as healthy or robust as originally believed--have delayed its progress. Through fiscal year 2009, the Trust had yet to develop and put in place several key elements of an effective management control program for a government corporation. Specifically, the Trust lacked a strategic plan and annual performance plans, and it had not systematically monitored or reported on its progress--elements called for by the Government Performance and Results Act and recommended by GAO in its first report in 2005. The Trust's financial management has also been weak. Consequently, it has been difficult for Congress and the public to understand the Trust's goals and objectives, annual plans and performance, or progress. According to current Trust officials, becoming financially self-sustaining, particularly by the end of fiscal year 2015 when federal appropriations are due to expire, is the Trust's biggest challenge. Most of the Trust's other challenges follow from this one, including identifying, developing, or expanding revenue-generating activities that would enable the Trust to raise sufficient funds; obtaining funds for major capital investments; and addressing a number of legal constraints--such as its authority to enter into long-term leases or acquire property--which potentially limit its ability to attract long-term businesses that could generate revenues. Nevertheless, the Trust is continuing to explore opportunities for becoming financially self-sustaining.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: To help further the Trust's efforts toward becoming a financially self-sustaining government corporation, the Trust's Chairman of the Board and Executive Director should work with the relevant congressional committees to seek legislative remedies, as appropriate, for the legal challenges confronting the Trust.
Agency Affected: Valles Caldera Trust
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In November 2009, the Trust sent a letter to Senators Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall describing the legal challenges faced by the Trust that were identified in this GAO report. This letter also described potential changes that could be made to the Valles Caldera Preservation Act to clarify the Trust's legal authorities and alleviate the challenges confronting the Trust. In addition, Trust officials told GAO that the Trust has continued to reach out to Congress, most recently in September 2012, to provide updates on Trust activities, including issues related to some of the legal challenges we cited in our 2009 report such as the purchasing of private liability insurance. As of February 2013, New Mexico's Senators have reintroduced legislation that would transfer ownership of the Valles Caldera National Preserve to the National Park Service. This would, in effect, eliminate the legal challenges we cited, as well as the goal of self-sufficiency for the Trust.

It's not unusual for American soccer players to go abroad to chase dreams of playing professionally. But you might say Nicholas Pugliese, a 24-year-old from Rochester, New York, took things to an extreme by signing with Ferozi FC, a team based in Kabul, Afghanistan.
U.S. President Barack Obama has reaffirmed the United States' "unwavering" commitment to the security of Poland and other Eastern and Central European NATO allies after Russia's intervention in Ukraine.
The Cold War-era produced some of ice hockey's most spectacular memories. The latest U.S.-Russia match wasn't one of them.
WASHINGTON -- The United States should hold Azerbaijan accountable for its human rights record, even as the energy-rich country has come into renewed focus as a potential key player in weaning Europe off of Russian gas in the wake of the Ukraine crisis, U.S. officials say.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has called on Russia to take "concrete steps" to implement the international agreement on de-escalation in Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has meanwhile called on Washington to use its influence to pressure the Western-backed Ukrainian authorities to implement the Geneva agreement.
The U.S. administration has ratcheted up the rhetoric as it wrestles with Russia over mounting tensions in Ukraine, engaging the Kremlin in the kind of confrontational and caustic war of words it largely eschewed during U.S. President Barack Obama's first five years in office.
Tajikistan has one significant industrial asset, an aluminum smelter that dates back to the Soviet era. The state-owned plant, Talco, uses so much electricity it is responsible for regular, rolling blackouts around the country. Many Tajiks would like to know where Talco's substantial profits go; the company keeps a tight lid on earnings information.
U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul has announced that he is stepping down and returning to the United States following the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
McFaul has been ambassador since January 2012, serving before that as U.S. President Barack Obama's senior director of Russian and Eurasian affairs.
WASHINGTON -- A U.S. lawmaker who spearheaded legislation punishing accused Russian rights abusers plans to meet officials from the Obama administration to press for answers as to why it has failed to blacklist more Russian officials under the law.
It's not often that Calvin Coolidge's name is invoked these days in Washington. But the long-dead 30th president is figuring in a controversy involving several Armenian-American organizations, the Smithsonian Institution and the White House.

David Buchanan has paid tribute to Tranmere's supporters after being named the club's player of the season.
The 26-year-old left-back signed on a free transfer from Hamilton in the summer, also scooped Rovers' goal of the season gong for his winner on his debut at Leyton Orient.
Despite Ronnie Moore replacing Les Parry in the Prenton Park hotseat in March, Buchanan has remained a constant, clocking up 44 appearances in all competitions.
"I want to thank all the fans who voted for me, it means a lot to me," he told Tranmere's official website.
"I couldn't have asked for anything more. I came in at the start of the season and people didn't know too much about me.
"Obviously the fans have taken to me and they've been brilliant all season. Since Ronnie has come in the team have kicked on, we've been hard to beat and it has been great to keep so many clean sheets."

We've all heard the old saying "be careful what you wish for because you might get it". As fans when Vinny was fired and the supposed "football people" Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan took over football operations we got what we wanted right?
A decade of mismanagement, wasting draft picks, and overspending was over so we thought. Who could of predicted that almost the complete opposite would happen and Dan Snyder would finally have a justifiable reason to step in?
Shanahan realized Donovan McNabb was not the right fit for his offense and decided to cut his loses early, Snyder should do the same. Yes im saying Shanahan is going to fail, the day after the season ends he should be shown the door. No, I am not implying Snyder should hire Vinny and do it his way again but there is a guy named Bill Parcels out there.. Snyder can do this inderictly. Hire Parcells to a job similar to what he did in Miami as a overseer, he can make the right decisions on hiring a GM, Coach, and QB. I'd guess he'd fire Mike Shanahan and completely gut out the redskins trading for every draft pick he could get.
Snyder will prove nothing by leaving Shanahan in a few more years to fail, a guy that incompetent cannot make this franchise successful.
Snyder needs to realize he had the right idea but hired the wrong people. Not to blame him, who would of thought a 2x SB coach would appear so idiotic.The recent squabbles between the Shanahan family and McNabbs agents are just more proof. If he keeps Shanahan and it fails Snyder will revert back to his old ways, if he tries again and hires the right people the future will be something to look forward to. They suck, they all suck and their a circus at this point.

Speaking with BoxingScene.com's Lem Satterfield, promoter Dan Goossen has revealed the shocking and staggering truth, and he doesn't care if it makes him unpopular or not: He scored the Paul Williams vs Erislandy Lara fight for Paul Williams.
Goossen promotes Williams.
"I would not have called it a robbery if the fight had been called a draw or if Erislandy Lara had been given a close decision victory. It was that type of fight. What I wanted to find out about was the lopsided scores of 117-to-111. You know what? The reporters and the guys at ringside are sitting there and they're talking to one another as the fight is going on.
"And, you know, that's pretty much what happens with [HBO's] on-air talent. So everyone kind of is the same page and they're going back and forth concerning what they're seeing."
The old hive mind! You heard it, everyone. You've been tricked! Hoodwinked! Your thoughts are not your own! So desperate are you to "fit in" with cool kids such as Bob Papa, Dan Rafael, and Harold Lederman, that you let yourself be conned, man. You've got to open your mind. You've got to go out there and say, "Hey. I think for myself." Like Carl Everett with the dinosaurs, except kind of the opposite, sort of, but in that spirit. You may think you saw what you saw -- but did you really? Are we even here right now? Is this all just a ride, like Bill Hicks said? Does it even matter? And why is New Jersey investigating the judges?
Also, I keep hearing about "karma," since Erislandy Lara got a draw against Carlos Molina in March. Now that's another great way to think. "Hey! This was complete garbage, but since I disagreed with something else involving the guy who got shafted here, it's OK! Forget it! KARMA!!!!!"
Who gives a crap, right you guys?! And if you don't like it, Dan Goossen says you can GET OUT!!
"Here is the problem that I have with what happened that night that I didn't see or hear until I watched the replay. And that's how an announcing team can sit there and denigrate our sport to the levels that they did. They did it based upon what they believed that they were seeing. ... What I've got a problem with is them saying, 'This is why boxing is where it's at.' You don't like it? Get out."
Yeah, he's right. If you don't like incompetent or corrupt judging from three judges unqualified to be in this position, and if you don't like home/house fighter decisions, and if you don't like anyone getting a fair shake for a job well done regardless of whether or not they've been pets for a network for years, then GET OUT! Boxing doesn't need you because you suck and you don't just take it and like it.
Keep that in mind, and please, teach your children: When something is wrong, don't say anything. Just go away and stop caring so much.

News: Shyne Plotting Return Back Home, "I Shouldn't Suffer For The Rest Of My Life"
Tuesday, May 15, 2012 9:19AM
Former Bad Boy Records artist Shyne recently talked about finally being able to return back to the United States after getting deported in 2009 and why it is vital to reach Americans face-to-face again.
According to Shyne, he was forced to wait a minimum of 36 months before being able to legally request returning to the United States.
"We're working on it. It's been three years, so I finished my parole. The ban from America starts from three to 10 [years], so now it's time to start making those applications. And also, I do a lot of work for my country. So I feel that's important for the administration, homeland security and state department to respect that. I'm a young kid that made a mistake and I turned my life around, I shouldn't suffer for the rest of my life. America is an important part of my life. It's an important way for me to help my country, and more importantly Shyne Po still ring bells on every block. The kids are listening to me, man. So if anyone is going to tell them to put the guns down, or to go to Harvard and try to educate themselves and try to stay from out of prison, they're going to listen to me. So I feel once we put our presentation together and present it to the powers that be, I don't see it being a problem." (Huffington Post)
Back in summer 2010, Shyne reflected on getting banned from America.
"I always knew it was a possibility I might be deported. I had lawyers, and I had people with serious relationships working to get me a f*ckin' opportunity to continue my life in the place that raised me and developed me and grew me, after payin' my debt, ya dig?" (XXL Magazine)
Reports of him being held by immigration hit the Internet in early October 2009.
His release is now under review, as representatives for the rapper revealed that the Brooklyn MC is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an unspecified facility in Western New York State. Officials are determining whether or not to deport the rapper, who was born in Belize, a rep explained. "Shyne is currently in federal custody while his future immigration status is determined," the rep said in a message to MTV News. Shyne attorney Oscar Michelen emphasized to MTV News on Tuesday afternoon that Shyne has not been released, contrary to media reports. (MTV)
Recently, the Brooklyn-bred emcee talked about his admiration toward ex-boss Diddy.
"The really important thing was just meeting with someone who was like a brother to me, who was like a big brother to me," Shyne said in an interview. "[He] was a mentor, role model, taught me everything I know about the music business, taught me how to be a champion, taught me how to be undeniable -- I owe a lot to that guy." (Belize 7 News)
