QTL mapping is an unbiased approach where the phenotype reveals the location of regulatory genes or genomic regions affecting the trait of interest. The development of transferable molecular markers and the increased use of multiple pedigrees for QTL mapping have allowed comparative analysis of QTLs across independent studies thus providing validation data. Such QTL positional information, together with the availability of annotated genome sequences, now promises to identify strong candidate genes for a number of traits [1]. As large pedigrees become available and higher resolution mapping with SNPs, DArT and genotype-by-sequencing technologies becomes routine in forest trees, QTL positional information could be an alternative to the current approaches that rely on tentative candidate genes for association genetics studies. Among the several traits for which QTLs have been mapped in forest trees those that display higher heritability, such as wood chemical composition, are more likely to involve candidate genes of stronger effect although recent association studies show that even such genes explain very small proportion of the variation [2]. In this study we used a high-resolution map with over 2,000 Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers to carry out an initial assessment of the number of annotated gene models in the reference genome sequence of Eucalyptus that putatively co-locate with QTLs for growth and wood quality traits.
A QTL mapping study was carried out with a clonally replicated segregating population of 171 F1 individuals derived from an E. grandis x E. urophylla cross. Individuals were genotyped with the Eucalyptus DArT microarray described earlier [3]. The DArT marker data were combined with 222 microsatellites and a linkage map for each parent was constructed using JoinMap 3.0 [4]. Six traits were measured: height growth (HG), circumference at breast height (CBH); wood specific gravity (WSG); cellulose pulp yield (%PULP); Total Lignin (TL); syringyl/guaiacyl ratio (S/G). QTL mapping was carried out using QTL Cartographer [5] on the two parental maps separately at 1 cM intervals. Empirical threshold significance levels for QTL detection were determined by 1,000 permutations considering a significance level of 5%. All the segregating DArT and microsatellite markers were mapped onto the 11 pseudo-molecules of the Eucalyptus grandis draft genome sequence covering 609 Mbp.
QTL analyses were carried out using framework genetic linkage maps with high likelihood support for order. The maternal map had 825 markers (684 DArTs + 141 SSR) and the paternal map 511 markers (410 DArTs + 101 SSR). A total of 16 QTLs in E. grandis and 14 in E. urophylla were detected influencing growth and wood quality traits. High and significant positive phenotypic correlations were found between CBH and HG, TL and S/G, and S/G and %PULP. In the maternal E. grandis map, five QTLs were identified for TL (Linkage groups (LG) 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8), two QTLs for %PULP (LG 4 and 5), three for S/G (LG 1, 5 and 8), WSG (LG 6, 8 and 10) and HG (LG 1, 2 and 6). In the E. urophylla paternal map we detected three QTLs for %PULP (LG 1, 4 and 9), three for HG (LG7, 8 and 10), three for TL (LG3, 4 and 8), two for CBH (LG7 and 10), two for S/G (LG 8 and 9), and one for WSG (LG 8). More than two QTLs were clustered on LG 4, 5 and 8 in E. grandis and on LG 4, 8 and 9 in E. urophylla suggesting interesting genomic regions to look for candidate genes to be tested in association mapping. Several of these QTLs were syntenic to QTLs found in other studies [6,7] providing some indirect support for their validity. The sequences of DArT and microsatellite markers bracketing QTLs were used to extract the gene models from the Eucalyptus reference genome. A total of 7,125 predicted gene models are found across all maternal QTLs, with an average of 445 genes per QTL. For the paternal QTLs 5,076 gene models exist, with an average of 362 genes per QTL.
As in many other QTL mapping studies in Eucalyptus [6-8] we have identified several QTLs that control a modest proportion of the phenotypic variation for a number of economically important traits. In this first assessment of putative candidate genes co-locating with these QTLs we found thousands of annotated gene models, hundreds of which could be tentatively suggested as being involved in trait variation. Notwithstanding the low mapping resolution provided by the small progeny, this preliminary study shows that tens or hundreds of genes will likely be always found underlying QTLs for such complex traits. Testing and validation of such large numbers of genes will require a gigantic effort. Furthermore a large proportion of the phenotypic variation remains unexplained by the few QTLs mapped. It is therefore questionable from the applied stand point how much useful information this approach will effectively provide for the advancement of association genetics and, for that matter, of breeding practice.

UN nuclear watchdog, Iran agree new transparency measures
Published on May 22, 2014 12:06 AM
VIENNA (AFP) - The UN atomic watchdog said Wednesday it has agreed with Iran five new transparency measures, including two concerning a long-stalled probe into Tehran's alleged past efforts to develop atomic weapons.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran, which denies seeking or ever having sought nuclear weapons, has undertaken to provide information on the new steps "by August 25".
The announcement comes after a fourth round of talks between Iran and six world powers in Vienna last week that both sides indicated made no progress towards a comprehensive deal over Tehran's nuclear programme.
One of the key elements in this sought-after deal would be Iran answering some of its many questions on the alleged "possible military dimensions" (PMD) of Tehran's nuclear programme - in other words efforts to design a nuclear bomb.

Olympic Soup -- London Style
My favorite Olympic quote so far came this morning from Allen St. John at Salon: "Over the first weekend, I've watched equestrian, dressage, women's table tennis, women's fencing, archery, bicycle racing, volleyball, team hand ball, and men's water polo. It's like Wide World of Sports on steroids.
"Just this afternoon I learned that when you shoot over the goalie in water polo, it's called a bunny, that it's really, really hard to get a dressage horse to just walk in a straight line, and watched a one-armed Polish table tennis player quietly compete against able-bodied rivals without a tenth of the hype surrounding amputee track star Oscar Pistorious."
Myself, I'm wondering what the ratings were like for dressage and whether anyone would have watched it at all if not for a cameo from the Romneys. Or, perhaps, I should say for the inevitable endless David Letterman bits on "horse dancing."
I think to have a genuine Olympic competition you should have to make your own bow in a style unique to your nation. The Brits should have to use the Robin Hood-type longbow, Chinese and Mongols should have to come up with a collapsible bow that Asian horse archers perfected, and Italians should be required to use the cross bow their ancestors invented in the Middle Ages. Americans should have to use some kind of bow peculiar to American Indians (only with artificial feathers because I've heard most of the birds they used are now endangered. I've sent this plan to the IOC over the years, but it always falls on deaf ears).
Of all the sports I don't follow until I watch the Olympics, I think gymnastics are, far and away, the most thorough, strenuous, and beautiful of all athletic endeavors. For sheer physical virtuosity it surpasses everything else in all the competitions. Nothing seems so impossible as those triple turns on the high bar; every time I see it I wonder "What must that have been like the first time he or she did that?" What courage it must take to try that for the first time. A diver isn't risking his life the first time he tries a triple somersault. But a gymnast, damn, you could break anything in your body - including your neck - because of the tiniest slip-up.
This is why it was so heartbreaking watching our men's and women's teams screw up. I say screw-up because even the worst gymnastic performance - by Olympics standards - still places the gymnast in the top 12 or 15 in the world. But fifth place for the American men? How did that happen? We were supposed to be competing with the Chinese for gold, and we ended up two spaces behind the Brits?
Our two top men, Danell Leyva and New York's John Orozco, ranked fourth going into today's competition, seemed oddly out of kilter and had serious trouble on the pommel horse. How bad were they (relative to the other athletes)? Well, I only watch gymnastics every four years, and it was obvious to me.
But why did they falter so badly? Why did they fail to live up to such high expectations? Nothing in the analysis, even when their performances were replayed in slo0mot, could explain it. That's what bugs me about so much Olympic commentary. Too many commentators make it sound like it's all heart and magic and the will to win; they never say something like "The Chinese believe in starting slowly and accelerating midway through the performance" or "The Americans don't have proper wrist technique when dismounting the pommel." Stuff like that.
The most baffling failure, though - in fact the one that's going to hurt most when we add up the medals -- Jordyn Wieber missing the all-around finals in women's gymnastics. A number of critics are now bemoaning the fact that Aly Raisman is now our best hope because of the rule restricting each country to just two competitors.
Yes, there are probably better U.S. women's gymnasts than Raisman who aren't even on the team - Elizabeth Price, who finished 4th in the Olympic trials, didn't make our five-member team because of a technicality. Yes, our own rules should be changed to include the best all-around gymnasts. But even after that happens, it won't explain how an athlete of Wieber's caliber performed so poorly.
The best Olymoic writer I've found, Bill Oram of the Salt Lake City Tribune, described her performance: "There was a step out of bounds on the vault and a break in form on the uneven bars, and Wieber never quite seemed to achieve balance on the beam. On the final rotation, the floor exercise, she stepped beyond the corner boundary. (That's how I would have written it if my eye was as sharp as Oram's).
Anyone can have an off-day, but I can't remember an Olympics when three top American athletes all failed, badly, to live up to expectations within 24 hours.

Macedonia: Name not the only thing keeping it out of the club
- By Lucy MooreLucy Moore is a researcher at Foreign Policy.
For months, Greece has been threatening to veto Macedonia's admittance into the EU, all because the two can't agree on the name issue. But with violent outbreaks pock-marking Macedonia in the weeks before its June 1 elections, it appears the tiny Balkan state might just knock itself out of contention before Greece even gets the chance.
Last month,
Since the beginning of the campaign last Sunday, a member of the Democratic Party of Albanians (DPA) has been stabbed to death and members of the rival Democratic Union for Integration (DUI), have been beaten, shot at, and had their offices attacked. In the latter cases, the DUI has blamed the violence on DPA supporters.
EU leaders have expressed concern over
This seems like an awfully understated response on the part of the EU, for whom Macedonia is quite close to the front of its new membership queue.
A candidate country since 2005, Macedonia is on track for EU membership in the coming years. But if the country can't better control its pre-election tensions, is it really ready? After all, as Bulgaria has shown, EU membership is not just going to make crime and corruption disappear. But on the flip side, the promise of an EU future may be the only thing keeping countries like Macedonia on track toward an eventually stable government.
So back to Greece and its veto-happy approach to its northern neighbor. Is prolonged regional instability really worth it for one little modifier?

Albany is hoping to rebrand the city neighborhood widely known as the 'student ghetto.' As you probably know, that's the area between Washington Park and Saint Rose, and Washington and Madison avenues.
As I wrote for this morning's paper, the new name is part of a broader effort to improve the downtrodden and rowdy neighborhood, with the mindset being that few people will invest and care for an area with a derogatory name.
The city has been calling the area the "education district," but that name is only temporary. Russell Design, a branding firm working with the city, has come up with a few name suggestions, and the city is looking for others.
Names suggested by Russell are below. Like them? Hate them? What do you think the area should be called? And can the city really rename a neighborhood?
Which of the following suggestions from Russell Design is the best new name for the Albany area known as the student ghetto/education district?
- 38%The Zone
- 35%None of the above -- keep calling it the "student ghetto"
- 15%Nomad (for North of Madison)

02 Jul Thrifting and the 2012 Fashion of Goodwill Runway Show and Gala
by ATFDC Contributor Jessica Danyele Gold
For a college student, living within a budget is important. Splurging is no longer in their vocabulary, but this does not have to put a hold on being stylish and creative. Thrifting has become very popular within that last year or so for those pinching pennies and channeling a vintage vibe. Personally, I love shopping at thrift stores because I can create my own pieces. I buy old Levi's Jeans and cut them into shorts because they have a high waist. Sometimes I bleach them to add a funky twist. On average I can usually get five to six good pieces for about $30-$40. This is almost impossible to do at retail stores, so thrifting definitely comes in handy.
Goodwill is a very popular donation and thrift store with locations spread all across the DMV area. They offer a variety of clothing and accessories that are in very good condition. Goodwill also sells household items and more. This is the perfect place to help you keep you on budget but look fabulous at the same time.
The Greater Washington Goodwill plans to host a runway show and gala. The event is called The 2012 Fashion of Goodwill Runway Show and Gala. It will be held on Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 6:00 PM at the Embassy of Italy: 3000 Whitehaven Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008.
Interested in thrifting? Visit www.dcgoodwill.org or the location: 33rd PI & South Dakota Avenue Washington, D.C. 20018

Things To Do
NPS Photo
A wonderful way to see the Riverway is to get out on the water. Recreational opportunities abound for canoeing, kayaking, motor boating, sailing and fishing. If you want to get even closer to the water, here is information on swimming and tubing. Wildlife viewing excels from either water or land.
Need help getting on the water? We have a number of commercial businesses we work with which provide recreational opportunities for visitors to the Riverway. This includes renting a canoe or kayak that is shuttled to and from the river for you; Or having a guide take you fishing. You can even sit back relax and enjoy the scenery on a paddleboat. We refer to these businesses as outfitters.
NPS Photo
There are also plenty of activities you can enjoy on land, along the river. Throughout the Riverway there are places to camp, hike and picnic. Bicycling, horseback riding and ORV trails are available nearby. Hunting in the Riverway is allowed, while trapping is restricted. The potential to see wildlife is always around the next corner, so however you choose to do it, enjoy some time outdoors.
If you are visiting the park you can also attend a ranger program or stop by a visitor center to learn more about the riverway, explore exhibits, watch our 18-minute park movie "St. Croix: A Northwoods Journey" and chat with a ranger. The smaller visitors may enroll in our Junior Ranger program.
Beyond the National Park and the visitor centers there are many nearby attractions to enjoy in the area.
NPS Photo
In winter the Riverway is a different place, from the light and the sounds, to the wildlife, to the activities you can enjoy. Snowmobile trails cross the river connecting to both states. For a more leisurely pace, other winter activities can help you enjoy the outdoors.

Fair Rate Funding Secures $5,000,000.00 for Pre-Settlement Loans to Help DePuy Hip Replacement Plaintiffs
Fair Rate Funding offers more money for lawsuit loans in DePuy Hip Replacement cases at the lowest rates in pre-settlement finance.
Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) January 20, 2012
Fair Rate Funding, an industry leader in the lawsuit funding business, announces the dedication of $5 million to help plaintiffs involved in Depuy Hip Replacement lawsuits cover some expenses while the action(s) are resolved.
In March, 2009, attorneys filed the first lawsuit in the country on behalf of a patient suffering a revision of a defective DePuy ASR hip implant in the Northern District of California Federal Court (Case No. C 09-01993 JL). In 2010, Johnson and Johnson recalled the product. Since then, thousands of plaintiffs have joined in legal actions against the manufacturer. This increase in complainants, while ultimately offering some relief to the victims, will unfortunately delay the distribution of monetary damages to future plaintiffs.
Fair Rate Funding currently offers pre settlement loans for a wide variety of legal actions, including automobile accidents lawsuits, slip and fall cases, medical and legal malpractice actions, Jones Act cases and many other legal proceedings. With the addition of funds specifically earmarked for DePuy cases, Fair Rate Funding plans to meet the growing need for pre-settlement funding for victims of the DePuy Hip products offered by Johnson and Johnson throughout the last decade.
Paul Coppola, President of Fair Rate Funding indicated an increase in application volume in recent months. "We decided to meet this increasing demand for funding by seeking out additional pools of funds to help these individuals," Coppola said. "Fair Rate Funding now possesses more than adequate resources to fund DePuy Hip Replacement lawsuits."
Coppola said that DePuy cases were funded by Fair Rate Funding in the past however, the amount of dollars available was capped at $10,000.00 to $15,000.00. "Because we were able to secure these additional funds, we are able to offer more money on DePuy cases than ever before," Coppola continued. "Clients may expect approvals up to $50,000.00 in some cases."
Applicants can apply for pre-settlement funding by calling 888-964-2224 or visiting http://fairratefunding.com. Fair Rate Funding offers lawsuit loans to plaintiffs who qualify. Once the process is completed; clients can expect their money in as little as 12 hours.

I used to think KDF were overpowered and I usually expected to die when queued up for KvF PVP. Then I joined fleets who taught me how to make a proper builds. Suffice it to say I finally understand the game mechanics about builds and character traits. With that new acquired knowledge, I decided to create a KDF toon from ground up and honestly I make federal players cry with only mk XI console gear, most of it rare quality. To this day I still cringe thinking about the horrible mistakes I've made with my earlier builds, and how stupid I must have sounded with the insults I've thrown at KDF convinced they were a bunch of cheaters and haxxors LOL. To be honest, I'd bet good money on KDF being able to go in with mk VIII common gear in pvp and still slaughter the average feds pugs simply because they know how to pilot their ships.
Seriously, STO doesn't encourage novices to learn anything unless they let go of their ego and ask questions around (or simply visit the forums). For almost 4 months, I was flying mixed tac consoles that don't match the weapons I carried (which were also mixed), sci consoles that didn't help with the boffs abilities and didn't care one bit about subsystems power levels etc. I didn't even have active space/ground doffs. To me, Fed PVE content motivated players to just pew pew, teamwork seemed like an alien concept. Anyways, I don't think it is a bad thing STO is run like that, the more complex the game is the more fun I can get out of it. Funny thing is, I'm still learning things.
STO is the best game ever and the players love it.

GTK 280 SLI, glxgears and segfaults
Hey everyone. I just installed the latest version of the Nvidia drivers directly from the website (x86_64-180.29.) I have 3 GTK 280's configured with SLI. I get a reasonable resolution on the display, and it's using the nvidia driver, but when I try to run glxgears or glxinfo, I get a segfault.
I'm running Fedora Core 10 if that's any help. Thanks very much in advance!
Re: GTK 280 SLI, glxgears and segfaults
Does 'glxinfo' in a terminal show "Directrendering=yes"
If not the drivers aren't installed properly. You should also be able to run what ever native rez your monitor is no problem.
Nvidia Linux forum on this site will net you more help. :)

What coat for TAT?
I may have missed this in all the searches that I did... Im trying to figure out which coat to wear on the TAT that Im leaving for in a few days. I go back and forth between my mesh Vanson with protection or my full synthetic black First Gear that is vented. I would wear my gore tex rain coat over the mesh in rain or not bring it at all if I had the First gear. It will be really hot in the full coat at some points compared to the mesh... But if it is cold??? Because this trip covers so much ground i am confounded...
What do you travelers have to say??
What I used, and still think is the best, is a ballistic jersey (armor for arms, back, chest, on a venting fabric) over an Underarmour pull over. Then you can add a regular jersey, and additional layers, including an insulated jacket liner, and finally a riding jacket without armour. I used Klim gear (Traverse) which is waterproof but vents very well, and when it was too hot, rolled the jacket up and secured it to the back of my top duffel. When you are in the hot and dry areas, you just use the ballistic jersey and underlayer. You may find the armour comes in very handy in places. I had only a couple of falls going across, but the two good ones were into rock gardens and by the time I reached Oregon, the ballistic jersey was toast. I circular filed it there as some of the connecting straps had come loose and it didn't look like there was any way to reconnect them.
I wore my full First Gear jacket with the liner in, it's a non-vented coat and when it gets hot I'll unzip it down to the belt and keep the top snapped up. I carried rain gear all over the place that year and only wore it once, I'd leave it at home next time. A black jacket might be a bit warm through NV this time of year, but you'll be glad you have it in the high country.

And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving; 3Who has created the seven heavens one above another; you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?" 4Then look again and yet again: your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out. 5And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps , and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayatin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire. 6And for those who disbelieve in their Lord (Allah) is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination. 7When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth. 8It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask: "Did no warner come to you?" 9They will say: "Yes, indeed a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said: 'Allah never sent down anything (of revelation); you are only in great error.'" 10And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!" 11Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire! 12Verily,, those who fear their Lord unseen (i.e. they do not see Him, nor His punishment in the Hereafter), theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise). 13And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, Verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men). 14Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All-Aware (of everything). 15He it is Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it); so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision. And to Him will be the Resurrection. 16Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake? 17Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning. 18And indeed those before them belied (the Messengers of Allah), then how terrible was My denial (punishment)? 19Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in? None upholds them except the Most Gracious (Allah). Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything. 20Who is he besides the Most Gracious that can be an army to you to help you? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion. 21Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision? Nay, but they continue to be in pride, and (they) flee (from the truth). 22Is he who walks prone (without seeing) on his face, more rightly guided, or he who (sees and) walks upright on the Straight Way (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)? 23Say it is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing (ears) and seeing (eyes), and hearts. Little thanks you give. 24Say: "It is He Who has created you on the earth, and to Him shall you be gathered (in the Hereafter)." 25They say: "When will this promise (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) come to pass if you are telling the truth.?" 26Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "The knowledge (of its exact time) is with Allah only, and I am only a plain warner." 27But when they will see it (the torment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will change and turn black with sadness and in grief and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise) which you were calling for!" 28Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Tell me! If Allah destroys me, and those with me, or He bestows His Mercy on us - who can save the disbelievers from a painful torment?" 29Say: "He is the Most Gracious (Allah), in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust. So you will come to know who it is that is in manifest error." 30Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Tell me! If (all) your water were to sink away, who then can supply you with flowing (spring) water?"

We believe that the excellence of athletics teams and programs can and must be compatible with academic and ethical integrity. We're excited about sharing this knowledge and experience.
A National Governance Organization Should Be Better than ThisJanuary 8, 2015 - Donna A. Lopiano, Ph.D
This week, the NCAA announced it will pay $3,000 to the parents of 125 players so they can attend the College Football Playoff finals and $3,000 to parents of the four teams of 15 men and four teams of 15 women who make it to their respective NCAA Division I Final Four – plus an extra $1,000 to the parents of the two teams each that make it to their respective championship finals. This is a huge departure from the normal NCAA policy that treats all male and female athletes going to NCAA championships in the same manner - no expenses for parents.Read More
SMR Management Thought
The success of the athletics director lies in five important areas:
(1) informed, ethical and fair decision-making,

wow. stunning lighting! are you using a deffered lighting render or forward rendering?
The Swapper is an atmospheric 2D puzzle platformer, constructed using clay models and other everyday materials for a uniquely detailed look and feel. The game takes place on an abandoned space station and tackles the implications of the 'Swapper' - a device that can clone the user and transfer consciousness between different bodies. Coming Spring 2013!
1 comment by Pixabyte on May 31st, 2013
The Swapper is available now on Steam!

Thanks! Yeah it´s using deferred renderer.
I really like the sound of this and I am always intrigued when I see the words (custom built) on the Engine tag.
I certainly hope to see this one progress in future. Keep it up!
keep at it guys, i really like the look of it!
is it 2d? I have got confused after video))
Yeah that video surely can confuse :D The gameplay happens in 2D in these sort of three-D'ish environments. There are no actual models. What you actually see on the screen is just 2D-planes with a visual trick applied to them.
you are making amazing engine, it would be great if some 8-bit games, will recraete in it!
Watching this game for a long time.. sometime bak i checked ur website and saw that u were facing probs, thought this is dead...

Lions to retire Smith's No. 93 in '09
Updated: March 21, 2009, 5:32 PM ETAssociated Press
RICHMOND, Va. -- The Detroit Lions will retire the number 93 for the 2009 football season in memory of player Corey Smith, one of three men lost when their fishing boat capsized off the Florida Gulf Coast three weeks ago.
Lions player development director Galen Duncan told several hundred mourners in Smith's hometown church Saturday that Smith's number would be retired for a year in honor of a player of extraordinary heart and competitive drive.

Lesotho turns against military. The tiny South African kingdom of Lesotho returned to parliamentary government when 74-year-old Ntsu Mokhehle took the oath of office as the nation's first civilian head of government in 23 years. In the March 27 election, Mokhehle's Basotho Congress Party (BCP) won all 65 seats in the National Assembly and complete control of the Senate. The BCP had also been victorious in the 1970 national election, but leaders of the Basotho National Party had voided the results, declared a state of emergency, and suspended the constitution. After Gen. Justin Lekhanya's successful military coup in 1986, the country was ruled by a military council.

Ramos pushes electrical output. Philippine Pres. Fidel Ramos received emergency powers for one year to deal with a dire electrical power shortage throughout the country. Manila, the capital, with a population of nearly two million people, was especially hard hit. Many businesses had to curtail their working hours, and domestic life for many was in constant turmoil. Invoking his new authority, Ramos could begin awarding contracts for new electricity-generating plants without public bids. He could also reorganize the state-owned electrical company and use gambling casino revenues to fund new desperately needed power projects.

Macedonia enters United Nations. The United Nations welcomed a new nation into the organization under the strange provisional name of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Greece had vigorously opposed use of the simple name Macedonia because, it said, the newly independent republic had designs on the neighbouring Greek region of Macedonia. Officials on both sides agreed to search for an appropriate permanent name. Meanwhile, by mutual consent, the new nation would not hoist its flag outside the UN headquarters or at any UN agency because Greece objected to its design. The flag's sunlike disk with 16 rays had been a symbol of Alexander the Great, who ruled Greece in the 4th century BC.

Gunman murders African leader. Chris Hani, the 50-year-old leader of South Africa's Communist Party and a charismatic member of the African National Congress (ANC), was shot and killed outside his home near Johannesburg. The police quickly arrested Janusz Walus, a Polish immigrant whose car had been seen leaving the scene of the crime. Walus was said to be a violently anticommunist member of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement, a militant group of whites opposed to black majority rule in South Africa. Black anger before and after Hani's funeral on April 19 was to a great extent muffled by ANC crowd-control marshals and by pleas for calm from Nelson Mandela, president of the ANC.

Sex survey revises gay statistics. The Allen Guttmacher Institute published the results of a national sex survey conducted by the Battelle Human Affairs Research Center in Seattle, Wash., involving 3,321 U.S. males between the ages of 20 and 39. It was the most comprehensive sex survey since the Kinsey Report of 1948 and reached conclusions that closely corresponded to similar recent surveys carried out in Great Britain, Denmark, and France. The most surprising finding, which became the focus of most news reports, was that males who described themselves as exclusively homosexual made up only 1% of the population. For decades it had been assumed that the 10% figure given by Kinsey was relatively accurate.

Two police convicted in beating. A federal jury in Los Angeles convicted two white policemen and acquitted two others on charges that they had violated the civil rights of Rodney King. In March 1991, after a wild, high-speed car chase, King was savagely beaten while being subdued by police and taken into custody. When the jury informed the court that verdicts had been reached, police and national guardsmen fanned out across the tense city. The next morning, during a live nationwide telecast, the verdicts were read one by one. The first two policemen were found guilty of violating King's civil rights; the other two were acquitted. Tensions eased almost instantly as it became clear that there would be no repetition of the horrendous riots that had erupted in 1992 when a state jury acquitted all four policemen of assault. Efforts to avoid a second trial on the grounds that the four policemen would be subjected to double jeopardy were futile because the state and federal governments represented different jurisdictions and charged the men with different crimes.

Khan dismisses prime minister. Pakistani Pres. Ghulam Ishaq Khan dismissed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and dissolved the National Assembly, but he did not announce a date for new elections. Sharif was ousted, as had been Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 1990, for alleged corruption and mismanagement. Once in office, Sharif began reversing Bhutto's socialist policies by welcoming foreign investment and selling off unprofitable state-owned enterprises. One of Sharif's more risky political maneuvers was an attempt to weaken the presidency. The incumbent, who was chosen by the Senate and by the national and four provincial legislatures, had the power to dismiss the prime minister and the national and provincial legislatures. He also appointed the chief of staff of the armed forces.

Standoff in Waco ends in tragedy. A 51-day standoff between federal agents and members of a Christian religious cult ended in tragedy when the cult compound near Waco, Texas, burned to the ground. David Koresh, the 33-year-old leader of the Branch Davidians and the cult's self-styled messiah, perished along with at least 74 others, at least 17 of whom were believed to be young children. The first act in the drama occurred on February 28 when four federal agents were shot and killed during an assault on the heavily armed compound. Earlier requests to enter the grounds to investigate charges of child abuse had been denied. After weeks of chaotic negotiations and no evidence that the talks were leading anywhere, federal agents were ordered to end the stalemate. Using special equipment, they rammed holes in the compound's walls and sprayed nonflammable tear gas through the openings. As soon as the cultists realized an assault was under way, some began racing about setting the compound ablaze. The intense heat and the extent of the conflagration were more than the firefighters could handle. Medical examiners reported that Koresh and others had been shot through the head, and many may have died by their own hand.

Brazil votes to keep presidency. In a binding national plebiscite, Brazilians overwhelmingly approved a republican form of government over a monarchy (68% to 12%) and preferred, by a margin of better than 2-1, to retain their current presidential form of government; the alternative would have been an elected parliament. In preelection surveys pollsters discovered that numerous voters had no clear understanding of the constitutional issues they were supposed to decide; some 20% of the voters, who were required by law to go to the polls, cast blank or incorrectly marked ballots. The voting went forward because the pro-monarchists and pro-parliamentarian members of the National Congress had succeeded in making the plebiscite mandatory under the 1988 constitution.

Eritreans approve independence. More than 99% of the voting citizens of the Ethiopian province of Eritrea approved a referendum calling for total independence. Isaias Afwerki, one of Eritrea's most prominent leaders, announced that formal independence would be declared on May 24, the second anniversary of the final victory of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front over Ethiopia's armed forces. The war for independence had lasted nearly 30 years and had claimed the lives of some 100,000 Eritreans. On April 22 Isaias had told reporters that he considered five years too short a time to prepare properly for civilian rule.
London rocked by huge IRA bomb. A huge bomb concealed in a parked construction truck was detonated in central London by Irish Republican Army terrorists. Because the financial district was relatively deserted on weekend mornings, only one person was killed, but more than 40 were injured. The damage to buildings over several square blocks was so severe that the chief executive of an insurance company estimated the loss at more than $1.5 billion.

Italy gets new prime minister. Carlo Ciampi, the head of Italy's central bank, was named prime minister by Pres. Oscar Scalfaro. Ciampi, who became Italy's first head of government chosen from outside of Parliament, succeeded Giuliano Amato, who had resigned on April 22. Amato's Socialist Party and the long-dominant Christian Democratic Party were both caught up in a nationwide corruption scandal of such proportions that a week earlier Italian voters had angrily annulled a series of laws, including one on proportional voting, that disassembled much of the nation's current political structure.

METAIRIE, La. Running back Mark Ingram will miss his second straight game after missing every practice the past two weeks.
Linebacker Jonathan Vilma, meanwhile, didn't practice Friday but is listed as questionable.
Coach Sean Payton said they'll work Vilma out prior to Sunday's noon game against Tampa Bay before deciding whether he'll play or not.
Vilma said he feels good enough to play, though he told Joe Vitt, the linebackers coach, to take him out if he was hurting the team.
'My biggest thing is, as long as I'm not hurting the team,' Vilma said. 'I told Joe Vitt, my linebackers coach, to let me know the moment I am. Because that's bad business right there, you can't do that.'
The knee injury has been the longest lingering one of his career he said, but he added that nothing they've done this week in getting him ready to go has been different from the previous five weeks.
'It has been the same regiment,' Vilma said. 'My routine has been the same. And Sunday, I've usually been working out anyway just to make sure everything is OK. So, it will be the same thing, I guess.'
He was on the practice field this week, but he didn't participate in team drills, the criteria set forth for being labeled DNP, at all this week.
It's only the second time this year that has happened; the previous time was the week of the Houston game, the only game he has missed this season.
Ingram, meanwhile, was unavailable for comment Friday afternoon.
Everyone else on the roster was listed as probable.
