Feb. 5, 2013 Guardian
The detailed circumstances in which a US government may order the killing of an American citizen who is a high-ranking member of al-Qaida have been revealed in a leaked memo prepared by Obama administration lawyers.
The document, acquired by NBC and dating from 2011, lays out for the first time the precise rationale for carrying out targeted killings of senior al-Qaida members who are US citizens, and who are believed to pose an "imminent threat of violent attack" against Amercia.
Although the white paper deals specifically with the issue of when and how the president can order the killing of a US citizen who is a member of al-Qaida, it also provides one of the most comprehensive accounts of the wider international legal framework the US believes supports its controversial drones policy.
Although the paper does not specify the "minimum legal requirements" for launching such an operation, it insists that the killing would be constitutionally justified as the United States is engaged in an "armed conflict", as defined by international law and authorised by Congress, with al-Qaida and its affiliates.
In a key passage in the document – which is unsigned – it argues that for a US citizen who has rights under the due process clause and the fourth amendment, "that individual's citizenship would not immunise from a lethal operation".
Byron Beckwith
On February 5, 1994, Byron de la Beckwith is convicted of the assassination of civil rights leader Medger Evers. The assassination had taken place 31 years earlier, ending the lengthiest murder case in American history. Evers was gunned down in the driveway of his Jackson, Mississippi, home while his wife, Myrlie, and the couple's small children were inside waiting for their father.
Feb. 5, 2013 Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands • Organized crime gangs have fixed or tried to fix hundreds of soccer matches around the world in recent years, including World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two Champions League games, Europol announced Monday.
The European Union's police agency said an 18-month review found 380 suspicious matches in Europe and another 300 questionable games outside the continent, mainly in Africa, Asia and South and Central America. It also found evidence that a Singapore-based crime syndicate was involved in some of the match-fixing.
Europol refused to name any suspected matches, players, officials or match-fixers, saying that would compromise national investigations, so it remained unclear how much of the information divulged Monday was new or had already been revealed in trials across the continent.
Even so, the picture painted by Europol was the latest body blow for the credibility of sports in general, following cyclist Lance Armstrong's admission that he used performance-enhancing drugs in all seven of his Tour de France wins.
"This is a sad day for European football (soccer)," Europol Director Rob Wainwright told reporters. He said criminals were cashing in on soccer corruption "on a scale and in a way that threatens the very fabric of the game."
Europol said 425 match officials, club officials, players and criminals from at least 15 countries were involved in fixing European soccer games dating back to 2008.
The last time anyone heard from Marjorie Knuckles, 78, was January 30, so a family friend decided to check on Marjorie and her 95-year-old mother on Sunday February 3. During her visit, she did notice Marjorie was not home, but it appears Marjorie's mother was okay.
Feb. 4, 2013 Reuters
A gunman holding a 5-year-old boy hostage in an underground bunker in rural Alabama was killed on Monday and the child was plucked to safety without injury, a local law enforcement official said.
"It's all over," said the official, who asked not to be identified by name because he had not been authorized to discuss the operation that led to the successful rescue of the child.
"The boy is OK," he said.
The rescue of boy came on the seventh day of a standoff in a rural corner of southeast Alabama involving a suspect identified as 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes, a retired trucker and Vietnam veteran.
Dykes seized the boy last Tuesday after boarding a school bus near his home and killing its driver with four shots from a 9 mm handgun, local sheriff's department officials said.
The law enforcement source said a stun or flash grenade was detonated as part of the operation to free the boy, but further details were not immediately available.
Janie Shepherd newspaper clipping
Australian heiress Janie Shepherd, the stepdaughter of the former chairman of BP Australia, John Darling was abducted and murdered by David Lashley on the night of February 4, 1977 in West London. Lashley, a 50-year-old West Indian with a psychopathic hatred of white women, worked as a driver, had an obsession with blondes and raped or indecently assaulted six others between 1969 and 1977.
Portrait of Barnett Davenport
On February 3, 1780, Barnett Davenport murders Caleb Mallory, his wife, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren in rural Connecticut. Davenport was born in 1760; he enlisted in the American army as a teenager and had served at Valley Forge and Fort Ticonderoga. In the waning days of the Revolutionary War he took a job with Caleb Mallory, a farmer who operated a grist mill in Washington. Mallory and his wife Jane had two daughters who lived in the area.
With the purpose of writing about true crime in an authoritative, fact-based manner, veteran journalists J. J. Maloney and J. Patrick O'Connor launched Crime Magazine in November of 1998. Their goal was to cover all aspects of true crime: from organized crime to serial killers, from capital punishment to prisons, from historical crimes to celebrity crime, from assassinations to government corruption, from justice issues to innocent cases, from crime films to books about crime.

A Study of Some Flare
pdf ps
Susan Nygard
Maria Mitchell Observatory,
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Although short-lived
stellar brightenings had been reported several times prior to 1948, it was
Luyten's observations of UV Ceti that started serious study of the stars known
as flare stars. Luyten reported a flare
of more than 2.5 magnitudes on star L 726-B (UV Ceti) on 7 December 1948 and
calculated a minimum excess energy of 4 x 10^31 ergs necessary to produce the
outburst. This flare observation was confirmed by another flare observed by
Luyten. Searching through the partol plates in the Harvard collection, Shapley
reported brightenings back to 1900. A complete tabulation would today yield
over 100 known flares of UV Ceti.

Oh, and by the way, the DUMBAMA (racist idiot) has got over 8 million people rebates that come out to about $500 million in rebates from your precious insurance company's ripping them off,along with absurd salaries of killing people and cutting off insurance when people who have faithfully carried their insurance for years get cancelled when they get a major sickness or injury. That's the real DEATH PANELS.
And did you ever ask yourself why health insurance premiums in Ohio are going up 88% next year? You got it, Obama Care. Did you ever ask yourself why healthcare insurance is going up all over the country? Did you ever ask yourself why DumBama is stalling the employer mandate for healthcare insurance? I mean...... if it's such a good idea, why didn't he start employer mandate two years ago?
You libs think that everything is free. You have absolutely no concept that when somebody gets something for free, somebody else has to pay for it. That's the way it works in the real world. Free cell phones, free food, free housing, free healthcare. It's all free...... isn't it? It all comes from the free fairy.

John Wolf, author of "Orphan Records", "A Dark and Stormy Knight", "Harmonics", "Of Beryl & Alabaster" and "Benny Plays the Blues." Also, a mess of short stories.
I've been a hack musician most of my life. I spent 13 years as a navigator in the Air Force, pursued a profession as an engineer, and retired to writing action stories and mysteries. All of these things, plus the odd environment of growing up in New Mexico has given me a joyful perch from which to look out onto life.
I was a songwriter for several years, but found being lost in the constructs of writing a novel more fulfilling. The songs were just short stories, my short stories vignettes of ideas, the novels a real sense of being out there riding the waves.
John writes from his home in San Diego, California.
Review by:
Donna Jaske
on April 19, 2010 :
Some books are just made for certain readers. This is a great book for those who love action-packed adventure. The bonus is that it also has something for computer game players because the game players in this story, on a world level, find their game somehow becomes the real world.
I like how the opening pages very succinctly summarize the two world nuclear wars that essentially destroyed civilization, but they don't waste time on the details of the horrors of the wars. We all know about that:
Hatred lit the sky with fire in the Holy Lands of the Middle East. It is still not clear who launched the first volley, but the debates over who owned what religious relics ceased. They no longer existed.
Andy, in the new world, is caught gaming at work:
A particularly gloomy supervisor pointed out that gaming was not for responsible vanguards of the (new) nation's record-keeping complex. "Break time is over Andy," he said in a dull voice. "You'll never save the world with those silly games."
He could never have been more wrong. Let the games begin.
I like the book cover and the tie-in of the title to the orphan records found in the vast computer system.

MediaCom's tie-up with RTAd
MediaCom has signed up as the first media agency to use a new broadcasting platform that manipulates TV advertising content in real time. Launched by the newly created Real Time Advertising, the technology allows advertisers to vary a promotional offer, graphics, audio tracks or ad copy at short notice if factors such as the weather, social media, news or sports results demand it. RTAd also extends the offering to other media. MediaCom has signed up on behalf of its client BetVictor for its Premier League football campaign on ITV's digital channels and Sky Sports.
Square Enix's sponsorship of Arrow on Sky1 HD
The Japanese video-games-maker Square Enix has secured the sponsorship rights to Sky1 HD's new superhero drama Arrow, thanks to the media agency Manning Gottlieb OMD. The story of Arrow, which is based on characters from DC Comics and is described as a cross between The Dark Knight and Smallville, will no doubt appeal to many of the video-games fans Square Enix is hoping to attract. The series stars the British actor Colin Salmon.
Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer programming
Last week, Channel 4 joined forces with Cancer Research UK for a run of special programming across its channels to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer in the UK. Celebrities such as Cheryl Cole, Lewis Hamilton and Bradley Cooper joined in on the live fundraising show on Friday. Hosted by Davina McCall, Alan Carr and Dr Christian Jessen, the show included music, comedy and pulled on the heartstrings with real-life stories, resulting in the charity raising more than £6 million. Nice work.
The launch of Monocle Cafe London
Tyler Brule, the founder of Monocle magazine, is often to be found macchiato-in-hand as he gamely scouts the world's hottest coffee houses for his readers. So it is fitting that the title is now launching its own cafe in London. Following the publication's first cafe launch in Tokyo last year, Monocle Cafe London opens on Chiltern Street in the new year. It's a fun and clever brand extension for Monocle and gives London's hipsters a new place to show off their loafers.
The return of Surprise Surprise
We were awfully surprised (aha!) when we first heard that this programme was being resurrected from a dusty ITV backroom. And the proof is in the pudding, which seems to have sunk on its first airing. It seems strange that, in an era when social media and online ancestry websites mean it takes just a bit of effort and some clicks to be reunited with long-lost relatives, this format would be deemed gripping material for mainstream weekend TV.

Decades before Loutallica, there was KISS's Music from "The Elder," "the best concept album ever" (Julian Cope). There are a lot of strange things about Music from "The Elder": recorded with an orchestra and a choir, collecting triumphant songs that sound more like the Who than KISS, the album is the soundtrack to an imaginary movie. Also, three of its songs boast lyrics by Lou Reed.
KISS recorded Elder with big-time 70s rock producer Bob Ezrin, who had produced a number of superb Alice Cooper records, along with KISS's own Destroyer, Pink Floyd's The Wall, and Reed's Berlin. (It's always fun to compare the strings on Reed's "Sad Song" with those on Floyd's "Comfortably Numb.") In the words of the "official authorized biography" KISS: Behind the Mask:
In a last-ditch effort to regain their popularity and break new artistic ground, KISS reunited with Destroyer producer Bob Ezrin for 1981's Music from "The Elder." The concept, initiated by Gene Simmons, centered upon a young boy's rite of passage, a heroic life's journey through personal discovery, doubt, and ultimate self-realization.
At some point during the lengthy sessions for Elder, a phone call was placed to the King of New York. This upbeat quote from Paul Stanley doesn't make it sound like Lou's contribution to the project was, shall we say, labor-intensive:
Lou was so into our "Elder" project, that when we called and explained it over the phone to him, he said, "I'll get back to you in an hour". And he called back an hour later with good basic lyrics to "Mr Blackwell", "World Without Heroes", and a lot of other stuff that hasn't been used yet.
I think the finest of the album's three Lou songs is "Dark Light," which wound up on the B-side of the first single, but then I'm partial to Ace Frehley. The A-side of the first single was reserved for "A World Without Heroes." Now, if Lou Reed spent more than ten minutes writing this turkey, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Below, KISS humiliate themselves on the ABC cult comedy series Fridays.

Apprise him of their individual positions on the question of reserving seats for OBCs in Central institutions
The Prime Minister only listened: Jayati GhoshMajority view within the Commission is that status quo should be maintained
NEW DELHI: Members of the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here on Wednesday and apprised him of their individual positions on the contentious question of reserving seats for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in central educational institutions.
The reservation issue was just one of the subjects discussed at the meeting, described by members as a routine exercise. This is the fourth time the Commission met the Prime Minister after it was set up in September last year. "We meet the Prime Minister once in a while to report to him about the work we are doing," Commission member Jayati Ghosh told The Hindu .
Though the division within the eight-member Commission on the reservation issue is known, all members apprised the Prime Minister of their individual positions on the matter. "The Prime Minister only listened," said Ms. Ghosh and fellow-member Pratap Bhanu Mehta.
Ms. Ghosh and P.M. Bhargava are the two members on the Commission favouring the extension of reservation to OBCs. While Ms. Ghosh is for extending the existing policy of reservation to OBCs, Mr. Bhargava's support is subject to certain conditions. The majority view in the Commission is that status quo should be maintained till new and more effective avenues of affirmative action are explored.
Last weekend, the Commission met in Bangalore and discussed among other issues the question of extending reservation to OBCs. After the meeting, the NKC in a statement said that a "knowledge society must be a socially inclusive society and this social inclusion must be reflected in educational institutions."
Of the view that "this is a historic opportunity" to craft more effective policies to make educational institutions more socially inclusive, the majority view within the NKC favoured greater debate on the issue. "How we go about doing this [making educational institutions more socially inclusive] in a way that is compatible with the goals of a knowledge society is a difficult task and requires more social debate and careful thought," the NKC said in its statement while placing on record the divergent views of two members.
For a month now, the proposed move to extend reservation to central educational institutions including the Indian Institutes of Management and the Indian Institutes of Technology has been hanging fire. According to the Union Human Resource Development Ministry which spearheaded the proposal the Government was bound by the 93rd Constitution Amendment to provide OBC reservation in central educational institutions.
Officials in the Ministry said that only an enabling provision was being brought in to operationalise the amendment.
The proposed legislation neither mandates the quantum of reservation nor specifies which institutions it would be applicable in. "Since we have written to States asking them to operationalise the 93rd Amendment, the Centre is duty bound to do the same in its institutions. This is just a follow-up to that Amendment."

Greece and its private creditors are beginning a final push to renegotiate debt as a member of the investor group said they are likely to get cash and securities with a market value of about 32 cents per euro of government bonds.
The Federal Reserve will at its next meeting reduce its unprecedented stimulus to as little as $60 billion each month, according to Bruce Richards, chief executive officer and co-founder of New York-based hedge-fund firm Marathon Asset Management LP.
Eric Mandl, a senior managing director at Guggenheim Securities LLC, put his focus on technology deals aside last night to revel in his love for art at the Frick Collection.
Energy Future Holdings Corp.'s October and November interest payments on its $43.6 billion of total debt will prompt the former TXU Corp. to restructure, according to Marathon Asset Management LP's Bruce Richards.

No coach worth his salt would ever look past the next game, but Steve Spurrier knows only too well how much Williams-Brice has meant to his team in 2009 and 2010. "We've won just about all of them, I guess, over the past two years," Spurrier said over the summer. "The fans really showed up and made it a tough place to play and we really appreciated that. That Alabama game, our fans were really super." The 35-21 win over the No. 1 Crimson Tide last year was a banner moment for Spurrier's program and for USC football in general. It was the first victory over a top-ranked team in program history and came during a run of success against No. 1 teams from USC's football, men's basketball and baseball teams. Fan energy Helps recruiting efforts The image of a packed-tothe-gills Williams-Brice, white rally towels waving in unison as "Sandstorm" blared and Marcus Lattimore sprinted into the end zone, was a major selling point. It showed the country that the Gamecocks just might be on the verge of something special, and it came in handy on the recruiting trail. Several pledges who ended up signing with USC attended the game and took notice of the excellent fan support. To be fair, many recruits have loved attending games at Williams-Brice in the past, but during big games, often didn't get to see the home team win. In particular, former defensive end Cliff Matthews, an all-star home-state player who could have gone anywhere, committed during a 24-17 loss to No. 2 Auburn in 2006, saying the atmosphere in the stadium was PHOTOS By PAuL COLLinS can Gamecocks take Advantage of Four-Game Stretch? B Y D AV I D C L O N I N G E R Home Field advantage Never underestimate its strength. 12 South Carolina kicks off a four-game home stand when it welcomes Navy to WilliamsBrice Stadium on Sept. 10 and is looking mightily forward to it. After two weeks on the road -- once at a neutral site 90 minutes away and once at always-hostile Georgia -- returning to the home turf will be a major boon. In a season that is expected to be the greatest in program history, the Gamecocks have already begun 2-0, with a rallying win over East Carolina and a crucial SEC-opening win over Georgia that has them in first place in the SEC East. Back usc VS navy vanderbilt auburn kentucky the clinching factor. But losing home games to the big boys changed last year and has been changing for the past two seasons. The Gamecocks are 12-2 at home in 2009 and 2010, part of a 29-13 home record under Spurrier, and they have knocked off four Top 25 teams in that two-year span (Alabama, No. 4 Ole Miss, No. 15 Clemson and No. 22 Georgia). can gamecocks turn talent into Wins? None of the next four teams were ranked going into the USC-Georgia game, giving the Gamecocks a supposedly easy time, but it's not so much about quality of opponents as it is taking advantage of what's ahead. USC knows it has more talent than each of the next four teams, and knows that a murderous stretch of three road SEC games sandwiched around the Oct. 22 bye week is after the home stand. Taking these four, getting at least bowl-eligible and being 4-0 in the SEC for the first time since 2001 and only the second time in program history, would have the Gamecocks on their way to the promised land. But first they'll stop in their own version of Canaan, at the corner of Bluff Road and George Rogers Boulevard. The Game- cocks are hoping their garnetand-black-clad fans will welcome them there, beginning against Navy. "Seeing our fans make the trip to Charlotte was pretty special," Lattimore said. "I'm glad they showed up and we look forward to paying them back once we get back on our home field." Season tickets are close to sold out for this year, and even though Navy begins the home slate, a packed house is expected. Those who weren't able to make the trips to Charlotte or Athens (like many students, due to financial crunches) will be able to get their free tickets and jam the north end zone. Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach called that end zone the loudest place in America, and it's seen its share of highlights. It was that end zone that Noah Whiteside strutted into after catching the first touchdown of the Spurrier era in 2005, that end zone where Sidney Rice caught so many passes that appeared destined for the seats and that end zone that Stephen Garcia landed in after colliding with a Southern Miss helmet and spinning off it for the TD last season. That end zone is only part of it. The Gamecocks want Williams-Brice filled for every game, and if the opposing team doesn't bring a lot of fans (the Southeast corner usually has a few holes to fill, even with the band), fans are being asked to get into that stadium in any way possible (although buying a ticket, naturally, is preferred). "That'd be great if they can do that for us," fifth-year defensive tackle Travian Robertson said. "We've always had great crowd support and we're looking forward to having more. We know it's up to us to help fill it, though." a chance to make History While Gamecock fans have become famously known for their loyalty, still filling the stadium while in the throes of a 21-game losing streak over 1998 and 1999, the team knows it has to live up to its potential in order to help the ticket-selling process. Preseason predictions and such only hold so much weight, even though buying a ticket at least guarantees the chance to see some future NFL players while they're still amateurs. Home-state fans can marvel at Lattimore, Alshon Jeffery and Jadeveon Clowney as local guys who are making good, and also seem primed for profes- sional riches in a few years. They can also revel in the glories of past games, recalling the great moments they've seen as the minutes tick away toward the current kickoff. The main objective is to be there, be loud and be proud as the Gamecocks attempt to reach what many have picked them to take -- the SEC championship. An electric home crowd can help them toward that goal -- and also toward the smaller but no less important goal of winning every home game. The Gamecocks have never won every home game in a single season since joining the SEC 20 years ago, and they haven't done it at all since 1987. If USC achieved it this year, especially if the team kept winning on the road and completed a threegame winning streak on Nov. 26 against Clemson ... well, there's no telling what the celebration would be like. "That would be something," Lattimore said at SEC Media Days. "Couldn't get the smile off my face if we did that. But we have a long way to go before we can even think about that kind of stuff." Beginning on Saturday. usc VS navy vanderbilt auburn kentucky 13 14 14 usc VS navy vanderbilt auburn kentucky USC VS NAVY VANDERBILT AUBURN KENTUCKY usc VS navy vanderbilt auburn kentucky USC VS NAVY VANDERBILT AUBURN KENTUCKY 15 15 recruit to WatcH BY CHRIS CLARK gamecockcentral.com BiTES& INSIDE: COLUMBIA'S GUIDE TO DINING, ATTRACTIONS & NIGHTLIFE SiGHTS PLAY&STAY What to Do and Where to Stay in Columbia PHOTO COuRTESy RivALS.COM SUMMER 2011 oFFensive tackle brock stadnick W Five Points 33 Devine Street Rosewood Olympia Northeast 43 Forest Acres Fort Jackson Blythewood Camden Lake Murray 47 Lexington Harbison Irmo 9 Downtown USC South Main Street 21 Vista Riverfront State Street Vista West COLUMBIA'S GUIDE TO DINING, ATTRACTIONS & NIGHTLIFE! hen South Carolina offensive line coach Shawn Elliott arrived in Columbia after a lengthy stay at FCS power Appalachian State, he was tasked with improving a USC offensive line that had traditionally struggled under coach Steve Spurrier. The overall talent and depth of the unit needed an upgrade, and quickly. After helping to sign a solid 2011 class headlined by All-American tackle prospect Brandon Shell from Goose Creek, Elliott's second class of linemen is already in place five months before National Signing Day. One of the headliners of the group is Brock Stadnik from Western Guilford High School in North Carolina. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound tackle is rated a four-star prospect by Rivals.com, and comes in at number 183 in the latest Rivals250 ranking, which projects the top 250 prospects in the country regardless of position. When Stadnik and his twin brother Clayton verbally pledged to USC's staff in May, he passed over offers from Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Tennessee and a host of others. "South Carolina was the best decision at the end of the day," Stadnik told GamecockCentral. com right after his announcement ceremony. "We felt like we would fit in well with that program. We really feel comfortable with that program." Running backs and tight ends coach Jay Graham recruited Stadnik and his brother to South Carolina and was a big part of the comfort level both have with the school. "Coach Graham, you know he's been there since day one," Stadnik said. "We have a good relationship. He's been here many times, and we've been down there many times." Stadnik's interest in USC really heated up in October 2010, when he and members of his family took in USC's 35-21 victory over thentop-ranked Alabama. "The USC vs. Alabama game was absolutely amazing," he said afterwards. "The atmosphere was unbelievable. The music and hype of the crowd just blew me away. I've never been to a game like it before." The two brothers were also on campus during the spring for two days in Columbia, a trip that gave them a chance to mesh with Elliott, who played another role in their decision to attend USC. "He's a real high-intensity coach," Stadnik said of Elliott. "He works his players hard to get them better. He's real upfront with me and is someone I can trust. There's no sugarcoating with him. He tells you when you do something wrong and praises you when you do something right." Stadnik, who is one of four prospects with four-star markers from Rivals.com in the 2012 class, is planning on enrolling at USC along with Clayton in January. That will give him a chance to go through 2012 spring drills with the team and an opportunity to earn playing time on a unit that will be short on experience next season at tackle. Brock is happy that he and his brother got the choice out of the way early. "It was important to us to make the decision now to focus on things like school and getting ready for next season," he said. 16 usc VS navy vanderbilt auburn kentucky to be the best, you Have to beat the best -- and the Worst OPINION BY JAMES HARLEY t he Gamecocks typically schedule a three- or four-game home stand every season and 2011 is no exception, as they prepare to face Navy, Vanderbilt, Auburn and Kentucky in Columbia over the next month. Though generally successful during these stands (they're undefeated in the last two), this year's is a bit more challenging in that the list contains three SEC schools where usually there are at least a couple of obvious cupcakes. Granted, these particular three opponents are not the strongest teams in the conference right now, but all have recently shown the ability to derail the Gamecocks in one way or other. Though not recently, Navy has certainly done the same. But despite the infamous blow they dealt USC in 1984, it probably won't be Navy sinking the ship this year, though the other three should not be taken lightly if you consider the recent history. Even lowly Vanderbilt has beaten the Gamecocks in two of their last four meetings, and the two USC wins during that stretch were by a measly 4 and 14 points over Commodore teams they frankly should have blown out. Add to that the fact that Vanderbilt returns more starters than any other team in the league and ... well, OK, that's probably not a good thing for them, actually. Never mind. They would probably fare better with an entirely new lineup. Defending national champion Auburn, on the other hand, has been downgraded by the pundits based on the fact that they return fewer starters than anyone else in the SEC. Their failure to dominate Utah State in the opening week of the season has also been touted as an example of this perceived drop-off in power, but this conclusion disregards another very important aspect of that game and Auburn's recent history. The Tigers were down by two scores with only three minutes remaining, and rather than fold they rallied and did what they had to do to win, successfully storming back and scoring two touchdowns when it was all on the line, thus effectively wiping away their mistakes from earlier in the game. This, you may recall, is exactly how they won the national championship last year, winning seven of their 14 games by just one touchdown or less. Do not count them out simply because they played another close game. They may have a new group of players on the field, but with consistent Top 25 recruiting classes (and Top 5 classes the last two years) they aren't exactly weak. These guys are just getting their feet wet, and will have been gametested by both Mississippi State and Clemson by the time they meet the Gamecocks. Finally, there is Kentucky to consider, and surely no one has forgotten what happened in Lexington last year when the Wildcats' defense put Marcus Lattimore out of the game and held USC scoreless in the second half, paving the way for the Kentucky victory. Well, guess what? Ten of their defensive starters are back. Yes, the same ones who did that. They also return more than half their offensive starters, though not their quarterback, a position that is admittedly key to their success given their lower level of talent across the board. Of course, you might scoff at the notion that they could actually beat USC twice in a row after losing for 10 straight years, but that's how people felt about Vanderbilt a few years ago before they stepped up and did the same. In fact, throughout history it's almost always a lesser team that ruins Gamecock glory. So, true success here will ultimately be determined as much by finally winning every game the team should win as by beating a No. 1 team or winning the division, as the Gamecocks did last year. To be the best, we have to beat the best -- but also the worst, as well. Hopefully, this home stand will be a start down that road.

I find the story in this book interesting. But, I could only get through the first two chapters. The author needs to go back and start over. The work does not flow.

Why Yair Lapid and Yesh Atid?
Looking at the Israeli election's big winner
On Friday, I took a flight to Georgia and, as fate would have it, I ended up next to a young mother–whose entire family was seated in the rows behind us. After hearing her yell back to her relatives a few times in Hebrew, I knew I was in the midst of the most Thomas Friedman moment possible and so, after some small talk and some sharing of chewing gum, I finally asked her who she was voting for in the election.
Her answer: Yair Lapid.
It was a strange conversation because she also expressed admiration for the leadership qualities of The Jewish Home's Naftali Bennett, whom she said had the spirit. So why Lapid, I asked? She cited the economy, his muscular approach to the peace process, and most of all, the energy he brings.
"Energy that would net about as many seats as Shas?" I countered.
"We'll see," she said.
Her reasoning sounded like pablum until this afternoon when supporters of Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party made some serious noise at the polls. And no matter how the final numbers turn out, the biggest winner of the Israeli election is Yair Lapid and Yesh Atid in nothing short of a barnstorm.
Earlier this month, when we were putting together our Tablet guide to the Israeli elections, like many others, we had Lapid down as a notable subplot in the election drama, but not as the main story. (We were more concerned with Bennett's spirit.) Here's what we said about Lapid:
Yair Lapid, a 49-year-old telegenic former news anchor for Channel 2, is the head of the new centrist party Yesh Atid, which seems short on concrete solutions, and is relying on winning votes by pushing issues like governmental and economic reform. Lapid, the son of a prominent member of Knesset and justice minister Josef "Tommy" Lapid, has also capitalized on the issues of economic and social justice brought about by 2011's J14 tent protests (see Etgar Keret's piece for more on that). But he also has hawkish stances; Lapid claims he won't join a coalition that refuses to return to negotiations with the Palestinians, opposes giving up Jerusalem in a peace deal, and wants both Arabs and the ultra-Orthodox to serve in the army.
That was two weeks ago, back when people were predicting that Yesh Atid would only pick up about ten seats. But as Aluf Benn wrote presciently:
Other candidates indulged in gimmicks, personality worship and empty slogans – Bennett's red paratroopers' boots, the meatballs in Shelly Yacimovich's freezer and the "strong man" staring down from Netanyahu's billboards. But Lapid had the benefit of enormous public exposure as a journalist, television presenter and celebrity bank spokesman, so the public knew who he was long before he entered politics.
This allowed him to focus his campaign on his detailed platform for making changes in the country, centered on smashing the ultra-Orthodox "society of students" and drafting Haredim into the army or forced employment ("civilian service" ); building 150,000 apartments; tweaking the system of government; and a diplomatic platform of a security-oriented leftist or soft-rightist, the type always preferred by centrist and undecided voters.
Amir Mizroch compares the appeal of Yair Lapid for Israelis to that of Barack Obama for Americans:
Like US President Barack Obama when he ran for his first term, Lapid is someone who is banking on a message of change; change in the political system, change in the nation's fiscal and social priorities, change in the education system, change to the rules of national burden: he promises that he will work for seismic changes to the national fabric of Israeli society: the ultra-Orthodox must serve in the army or national service and they must join the workforce etc.
But like Obama, Lapid may be creating too many expectations, and might suffer from this down the line when he's faced with the harsh realities of the Israeli political system, and the expected economic downturn and massive budget cuts the next government will have to implement.
The question now is whether or not Lapid will be facing these challenges from the inside of Netanyahu's coalition or as the new leading voice of the opposition. We should know soon enough.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's complain that he didn't had the luxury of a 'honeymoon' period, owes much to his own punishing work schedules, craving for concentration of powers to the extent of choosing the personal staff and overlooking expenditures incurred by his ministers, administrative reforms and attending to other minutest details of governance.
Senior bureaucrats say, they start getting calls from the Prime Minister himself early morning, inquiring progress of a particular commitment made only late last night meeting. Though, he has enthused a kind of confidence within bureaucracy returning to them leverage and powers, his literally sitting on their heads to perform has also created a fear psychosis. On March 26 evening, when he left Rashtrapati Bhawan after taking oath and entered into his South Block office to take charge, his first order was to bar ministers from handpicking personal staff, showing his intent to ensure none of his colleagues fancies a "hidden agenda".
Soon after election results started pouring in giving a big lead to the NDA, those close to the Modi said he had made up his mind. "The big mandate also meant mountains of expectations. That is what Modi told RSS as well as BJP leaders, when he asked them to give him free hand to come to people's expectations by reining in inflation and chiselling structures of governance," said an aide. He further said that over past 30 days, Modi must have presided over more than 60 meetings, be that with his ministers, secretaries, and service chiefs etc, almost an announcement a day.
Officials who were used to discussing overall policy matters in broader sense with the Manmohan Singh are still to adjust to the minutest details Modi asks for. Since Singh was himself from the bureaucracy, he knew the pace and route of files. They say, the only other person, they could compare Modi with could be the former finance minister P. Chidambaram, who like him had a photographic memory and also attending to minutest details.
Buzz in corridors of powers is that before Singh had removed the environment minister Jayanti Natrajan, who was sitting on clearances and refused to approve projects, her secretary had attempted to sought a meeting with the PM. He, however, could not get an audience. Then he had to cajole a close aide of Singh, to convey message to the PM that all is not well in the environment ministry. But the same bureaucrat, who narrated the incident now says, the new PM just a phone call away from him.
The ministries were asked to tackle all contentious issues on their own. The various officials in the ministries were presumably being asked to play a more active role in advising their political bosses while finding solutions to problems. They were also told that in case they faced "difficulties" in ironing out procedural kinks, the Cabinet Secretariat and the Prime Minister's Office would facilitate the final decisions. But these interactions and sorting out difficulties is keeping PM over scheduled A senior official says Modi appears passionate about governance and wants to make a difference to the way administration is handled. "If one has direct access to the head of the government, then radical changes will come easily," says a secretary.
But there are many, who are sceptical of Modi's direct access with bureaucracy. They recall late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi meeting 600 district collectors and bypassing his ministers in various decisions. Despite these apprehensions, officials here say unlike the previous regime, there is no one pulling the decisions in different directions.
Another thing that robbed Modi of his honeymoon is overprotecting his council of ministers from any taint and scandal. Not only he barred them handpicking personal staff, a latest order has restricted purchasing power to ministers for their office to just Rs 1 lakh. For any amount above Rs. 1 lakh, they are required to seek the Prime Minister office (PMO) approval. The order also directed the ministers to refrain from buying new cars for themselves in what the PMO officials describe at Modi's way of empathising with the general public reeling under the severe price hike. They said the PM is making all moves ahead of the budget to bring the derailed economy back on track.
Under the Director General of Supplies and Disposal (DGS&D) manual, even a junior babu in the rank of the assistant director has powers to approve the ad hoc purchase up to Rs 1 crore, but the minister will now have to run to the PMO even to spend more than Rs 1 lakh. It's another matter that the same minister may sign projects involving expenditure running into hundreds and thousands of crores.
Among other administrative reforms engineered by Modi is compressing the time-frame for completion of inter-ministerial consultations for preparation of cabinet notes. He has now asked the ministries to complete this process in two week's time and sent the note to the cabinet secretariat by Thursday, so it can be included in the cabinet meeting taking place every Wednesday.
The PM claimed in his blog that a "series of allegations began in less than 100 hours" after his government took offices. Some of these were over issues with which the government had nothing to do, but still the controversies persisted, he said. Though the PM did not specifically mention any controversies, but many of them were making of his own government, like his junior minister Dr. Jitindra Singh's statement of abrogation of Article 370 or the latest row on former solicitor general Gopal Subramanium, who had to withdraw his candidate for supreme court judge.
Meanwhile, the Congress on Friday said Modi's statement on honey moon reflected his pessimism and tendency to criticise all institutions instead of ensuring course correction. Party spokesperson R. S. Surjiwala said perhaps centralization of power, where even his senior most colleague home minister Rajnath Singh has no powers to appoint his personal staff may be leading to internal dissentions and thus reason of Modi's pessimism.(

Government model will essentially be under the political powers of the party in power: Team Anna
The government version of the Lokpal Bill, presented at a meeting of the Joint Drafting Committee on the Bill on Tuesday, has done away with the need to seek sanction for prosecution, and as a check and balance provided for hearing the accused before filing the FIR and then again before filing the charge sheet.
The other highlights of the government draft is that the Lokpal would be a quasi-judicial body, have contempt powers, recommend suspension and transfer of officers and can take up complaints suo motu. It will have an independent investigation and prosecuting wing enjoying full police power to investigate and attach property and investigate up to A level officers. It will enjoy full financial autonomy.
The Bill has made declaration of assets by bureaucrats compulsory and allows for setting up special courts for speedy trial within a time frame.
Union Ministers Veerappa Moily, Kapil Sibal and Salman Khursheed said it was not possible to accept all the suggestions of Team Anna as 23 Chief Ministers wanted the Lokayukta to remain under their domain and not under the Lokpal, and MPs enjoyed protection of speech and voting under the Constitution.
"Our mandate was to draft a Bill to set up a Lokpal and not to suggest Constitutional amendment."
It was not possible to have a parallel executive body outside the government answerable to nobody.
On the other hand Team Anna members Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal said they were deeply disappointed by proposed government model, which would essentially be under the political powers of the party in power.
The powers and functions of the Lokpal would be limited to corruption of senior officers, excluding the Prime Minister, the judiciary and MPs in Parliament. Team Anna also questioned the rationale of hearing the accused before filing the FIR and the charge sheet saying that it would take away the secrecy of investigation.
The government attempt amounted to having a symbolic Lokpal rather than a comprehensive, independent anticorruption body.
Mr. Kejriwal charged that the proposed government law would not be a deterrent to corruption. No one would be scared of this Bill, he added.
In the earlier draft, the Prime Minister figured under the ambit of the Lokpal; now he had been excluded, he said and added that the version had been diluted.
One of the main benefits of the ninth and last meeting of the Joint Drafting Committee was that the country and the people were engaged in the drafting of the Bill as never before, Mr. Bhushan observed.
Mr. Kejriwal said there was little option left other than stick to the call of Mr. Hazare to resume the indefinite fast at Jantar Mantar on August 16.

HOUSTON The family of the missing Taco Bell employee whose remains were found in Fort Bend Countysaid they had been suspicious of her husband all along.Isabel Alvarado s family said the mother of four suffered years of abuse.
Carlos Alvarado was arrested and charged Sunday with his wife s murder.
Isabel Alvarado, 39, was last seen after locking up a Taco Bell on Highway 6 around 3:15 a.m. on March 30.When she didn t come home after working her late-night shift, the family knew something was wrong.
At first we did suspect that he did something, but at the time there was so many questions and no answers, so we couldn t really start pointing fingers, the victim s niece, Marissa Ramirez said.
Other relatives also couldn t understand why the mother would just disappear.
Family members said they were suspicious because Carlos Alvarado was not around when everyone searched for his missing wife.
When he came over we hugged him, we told him Carlos, where s my sister, he said I don t know, we need to find her. When we found out that he hurt her, we didn t know what to do, the victim s sister, Leticia Zavala said.
Texas Equusearch founder, Tim Miller said he wasn t surprised when the husband was arrested, based on his conversations with the family.
He would stalk her; he would stalk her at work. He was a very, very jealous man. And he should be in Hollywood being an actor for the way that he acted through this whole thing, Miller added.
According to family members, Carlos Alvarado admitted he choked his wife, then took her toa relative s home on Philadelphia Street in Fresno, where heallegedly burned her.
Awoman at that home, who claimed to know Alvarado told KHOU 11 News she couldn t say anything because of the ongoing investigation.
The victim s family said they were in shock.
We re devastated because he was a part of the family and we feel betrayed. After so many years -- 20 plus years he was a father to four kids and a husband and an uncle that we saw as a friendly and caring person. But, apparently, he s been someone that we never knew, Ramirez said.
An autopsy was to be performed to determine if the remainswere that of the missing mother, but the family feels it is her.
The family is in mourning, not only for themselves, but for the four children who have possibly lost both a mother and a father.

ACTING commissioner northern Alipate Bolalevu says they have submitted their plans to the FRA on the proposed multi-million dollar international seaport at Middle Point in Macuata.
He yesterday said the FRA would facilitate the construction of the proposed project.
"The plans have been submitted to the authority as they are the ones who have been tasked to oversee the construction of the project," Mr Bolalevu said.
The government earlier allocated $5million for the construction of the port of entry in Naduri.
FRA CEO Neil Cook said further planning was done on the project.
"A feasibility study was conducted and a report has been compiled," Mr Cook said.
"Further planning took us quite some time as we had other prioritised projects to complete in the North."
