Though Nobel Foundation rules forbid the award being giving posthumously, the rules have been broken no less than three times. Though, to be fair, two out of three posthumous awards occurred before the stipulation was added in 1974.

- Two Nobel laureates declined a Nobel Prize.
- Besides awards to organizations, there has never been a Nobel Prize shared by more than three laureates.
- The Nobel Prize has never been awarded posthumously.

The first woman to receive a Nobel Prize was none other than Marie Curie, who won the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics along with her husband, Pierre. Curie, who also won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935, was the only woman to receive the Nobel Prize twice.
- Mother Teresa
- Marie Curie

- Queen Elizabeth II
Gandhi was nominated five times but was never awarded the prize. His last nomination was in 1948, but he was assassinated soon thereafter. Though the committee technically could have awarded the prize posthumously (the rules allowed it up until 1974), they did not award the peace prize that year because "there was no suitable living candidate."

Regular Golf Trip
21 May 2015
I regularly organise trips for groups of up to 16 golfers to The Algarve and have done for many years. I took 8 to The Crowne Plaza in Sept 2014 and I have just returned from the same hotel having taken 16 this time. I have stayed in plenty of hotels in both Vilamoura and Quinta do Lago and I can confirm this is the best I have stayed in for a few reasons. Another I stayed in 2 years ago had much bigger and better rooms but was in the middle of nowhere. This hotel is in a great location, far enough from the crowds yet only a 5 minute stroll to the Marina. The rooms are a sensible size, with nice bathrooms and plenty of draw and hanging space - a real issue for me and something most hotels fail to provide. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

Average Stay at Crowne Plaza
20 May 2015
We have just returned from 6 nights at the Crowne Plaza in Vilamoura. On arrival we chose to upgrade to a better room with a Marina View. This was paid for straight away. The upgraded room did not have a kettle so we had to request a kettle so that during our stay we could drink tea and coffee during our stay. In the first three days of our stay Tea and Coffee was only supplied once and this did not bode well for a relaxing holiday, for the last three days this problem was sufficiently dealt with but we feel we should not have had to raise this as a complaint to get the problem solved. The hotel appearance was very good and the pool area excellent. Sadly other residents were not so good with poorly behaved golfing group in the hotel bar using bad language regularly and being drunk - not the hotels fault. The breakfast buffet was good but we were very surprised in a 6 day stay fish was not available at all. The Algarve is well known for fish in restaurants. No salmon or smoked mackerel or sardines at breakfast at all.

38 CFR 3.103 - Procedural due process and appellate rights.
(a) Statement of policy. Every claimant has the right to written notice of the decision made on his or her claim, the right to a hearing, and the right of representation. Proceedings before VA are ex parte in nature, and it is the obligation of VA to assist a claimant in developing the facts pertinent to the claim and to render a decision which grants every benefit that can be supported in law while protecting the interests of the Government. The provisions of this section apply to all claims for benefits and relief, and decisions thereon, within the purview of this part 3.
(1) General. Claimants and their representatives are entitled to notice of any decision made by VA affecting the payment of benefits or the granting of relief. Such notice shall clearly set forth the decision made, any applicable effective date, the reason(s) for the decision, the right to a hearing on any issue involved in the claim, the right of representation and the right, as well as the necessary procedures and time limits, to initiate an appeal of the decision.
(2) Advance notice and opportunity for hearing. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, no award of compensation, pension or dependency and indemnity compensation shall be terminated, reduced or otherwise adversely affected unless the beneficiary has been notified of such adverse action and has been provided a period of 60 days in which to submit evidence for the purpose of showing that the adverse action should not be taken.
(3) Exceptions. In lieu of advance notice and opportunity for a hearing, VA will send a written notice to the beneficiary or his or her fiduciary at the same time it takes an adverse action under the following circumstances:
(i) An adverse action based solely on factual and unambiguous information or statements as to income, net worth, or dependency or marital status that the beneficiary or his or her fiduciary provided to VA in writing or orally (under the procedures set forth in § 3.217(b)), with knowledge or notice that such information would be used to calculate benefit amounts.
(ii) An adverse action based upon the beneficiary's or fiduciary's failure to return a required eligibility verification report.
(iii) Evidence reasonably indicates that a beneficiary is deceased. However, in the event that VA has received a death certificate, a terminal hospital report verifying the death of a beneficiary or a claim for VA burial benefits, no notice of termination (contemporaneous or otherwise) will be required.
(iv) An adverse action based upon a written and signed statement provided by the beneficiary to VA renouncing VA benefits (see § 3.106 on renouncement).
(v) An adverse action based upon a written statement provided to VA by a veteran indicating that he or she has returned to active service, the nature of that service, and the date of reentry into service, with the knowledge or notice that receipt of active service pay precludes concurrent receipt of VA compensation or pension (see § 3.654 regarding active service pay).
(vi) An adverse action based upon a garnishment order issued under 42 U.S.C. 659(a).
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501(a))
(4) Restoration of benefits. VA will restore retroactively benefits that were reduced, terminated, or otherwise adversely affected based on oral information or statements if within 30 days of the date on which VA issues the notification of adverse action the beneficiary or his or her fiduciary asserts that the adverse action was based upon information or statements that were inaccurate or upon information that was not provided by the beneficiary or his or her fiduciary. This will not preclude VA from taking subsequent action that adversely affects benefits.
(1) Upon request, a claimant is entitled to a hearing at any time on any issue involved in a claim within the purview of part 3 of this chapter, subject to the limitations described in § 20.1304 of this chapter with respect to hearings in claims which have been certified to the Board of Veterans' Appeals for appellate review. VA will provide the place of hearing in the VA office having original jurisdiction over the claim or at the VA office nearest the claimant's home having adjudicative functions, or, subject to available resources and solely at the option of VA, at any other VA facility or federal building at which suitable hearing facilities are available. VA will provide one or more employees who have original determinative authority of such issues to conduct the hearing and be responsible for establishment and preservation of the hearing record. Hearings in connection with proposed adverse actions and appeals shall be held before one or more VA employees having original determinative authority who did not participate in the proposed action or the decision being appealed. All expenses incurred by the claimant in connection with the hearing are the responsibility of the claimant.
(2) The purpose of a hearing is to permit the claimant to introduce into the record, in person, any available evidence which he or she considers material and any arguments or contentions with respect to the facts and applicable law which he or she may consider pertinent. All testimony will be under oath or affirmation. The claimant is entitled to produce witnesses, but the claimant and witnesses are expected to be present. The Veterans Benefits Administration will not normally schedule a hearing for the sole purpose of receiving argument from a representative. It is the responsibility of the VA employee or employees conducting the hearings to explain fully the issues and suggest the submission of evidence which the claimant may have overlooked and which would be of advantage to the claimant's position. To assure clarity and completeness of the hearing record, questions which are directed to the claimant and to witnesses are to be framed to explore fully the basis for claimed entitlement rather than with an intent to refute evidence or to discredit testimony. In cases in which the nature, origin, or degree of disability is in issue, the claimant may request visual examination by a physician designated by VA and the physician's observations will be read into the record.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501)
(d) Submission of evidence. Any evidence whether documentary, testimonial, or in other form, offered by the claimant in support of a claim and any issue a claimant may raise and any contention or argument a claimant may offer with respect thereto are to be included in the records.
(e) The right to representation. Subject to the provisions of §§ 14.626 through 14.637 of this title, claimants are entitled to representation of their choice at every stage in the prosecution of a claim.
(f) Notification of decisions. The claimant or beneficiary and his or her representative will be notified in writing of decisions affecting the payment of benefits or granting relief. All notifications will advise the claimant of the reason for the decision; the date the decision will be effective; the right to a hearing subject to paragraph (c) of this section; the right to initiate an appeal by filing a Notice of Disagreement which will entitle the individual to a Statement of the Case for assistance in perfecting an appeal; and the periods in which an appeal must be initiated and perfected (See part 20 of this chapter, on appeals). Further, any notice that VA has denied a benefit sought will include a summary of the evidence considered.
(Authority:38 U.S.C. 501, 1115, 1506, 5104)
[55 FR 13527, Apr. 11, 1990; 55 FR 17530, Apr. 25, 1990, as amended at 55 FR 20148, May 15, 1990; 55 FR 25308, June 21, 1990; 57 FR 56993, Dec. 2, 1992; 58 FR 16360, Mar. 26, 1993; 58 FR 59366, Nov. 9, 1993; 59 FR 6218, Feb. 10, 1994; 59 FR 6901, Feb. 14, 1994; 66 FR 56613, Nov. 9, 2001; 76 FR 52574, Aug. 23, 2011; 77 FR 23129, Apr. 18, 2012]

A promise fulfilled
by Lynn Meredith
When literacy teacher Jenni Siebert sat down in the stylist's chair in front of 20 eagerly waiting John Stewart Elementary girls on Feb. 26, she had more than a haircut on her mind—she had a promise to keep.
For the past two-and-a-half years, Siebert has been growing her locks long enough to donate to Locks of Love, the result of a promise she made to a student whose own hair had once gone to cancer patients until she herself was diagnosed with the disease.
"I knew she had given her hair to Locks of Love in July 2006 and was growing it out again for another donation when she was diagnosed (with leukemia)," Siebert said. "When she told me she was sad because she was going to lose her hair and wouldn't be able to give another ponytail to Locks of Love for a while, I made her a promise."
Siebert was inspired by Amanda Eckstrom when she had her as a first-grade student and Eckstrom found out she had leukemia.
"It was toward the end of the year. I'll never forget it," Siebert said. "She is one of the brightest students I've ever encountered. She sees things others don't. Amanda has a gift. She sees the big picture."
The promise to donate her hair in honor of the little girl who can't while she undergoes treatment for cancer was a natural response for Siebert. Her own brother, Jason Gould, had leukemia. He passed away three years ago due to complications from the disease.
"In light of the illness that claimed my brother's life three years ago and affected Amanda and her family so deeply, I feel obligated to do something. Leukemia seems to be an epidemic lately," Siebert said.
Seven years ago, Siebert donated hair to the organization, just as she did this year, at the After Class Enrichment program at John Stewart Elementary. One of the classes offered for four weeks in February is hair styling. Sue Filek, owner of Hair Directors in Elburn, along with three of her stylists, volunteer to teach styling to the elementary students. On the last day of the class, Siebert came in and had her ponytail cut off as the girls watched.
"It's a wonderful thing if you have hair that grows that fast," Filek told the girls as she showed them the cut end of the ponytail. "See how much hair you have."
During the years she was growing her hair, Siebert could not use highlights or bleach that would damage it. She cut about four inches off every six months to let the color grow out.
"It's been a long two-and-a-half years, let me tell you," Siebert said.
Siebert is quick to give credit to Eckstrom and remind everyone that leukemia is a disease that needs money for research.
"If I can get Amanda, leukemia and other cancers, or Locks of Love any of the credit they deserve, I'll be happy," Siebert said.
The family of Jason Gould is starting an annual fundraiser beginning with a pig roast on Sept. 12, 2009, at the St. Charles Moose to raise money to support leukemia, lymphoma and related research in Jason's memory.
"We are trying to raise money for leukemia research and the funding of a vaccine that was developed by Ohio State that may have saved my brother's life after his transplant," Siebert said. "I'm hoping Amanda will be a guest of honor at the fundraiser. She's such an inspiration to all of us."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - New Minnesota coach Richard Pitino has hired Dan McHale from Seton Hall to complete his staff.
McHale joins Kimani Young and Ben Johnson as assistant coaches for the Gophers.
Steve Goodson, a holdover from previous coach Tubby Smith's staff, will be the director of basketball operations under Pitino. Shaun Brown will be the strength and conditioning coach, and Josh Adel will be the video coordinator. Mike Balado was initially hired to be the director of basketball operations, but he decided not to come.
Adel and Young were with Pitino at Florida International last season.

Submitted by Tom
Tom writes: "The Supreme Court has sided with Supap Kirtsaeng regarding the resale of textbooks. Publisher Wiley had tried to keep a $600,000 judgement from the lower courts because the student had sold textbooks in the US that he had imported from his home country Thailand, where they are sold much cheaper. The Supreme Court ruled that while it realizes that US companies often try to get different prices in different markets, the copyright law does not provide a right to such business models."

Europe Is Now The Biggest International Source Of Spam
A report said Thursday that Europe has overtaken Asia as the biggest source of email spam around the globe, with Britain being a major culprit.
Information technology security firm Sophos said that Europe produced over a third of the world's total junk emails in the second quarter of 2010, which is slightly above Asia. Asia had been ahead of Europe in the first quarter.
"The UK… saw a significant rise in the proportion of spam it relayed. With a total output of 4.6 percent of the world's spam, this puts the UK in fourth place overall compared with ninth earlier this year," the report said.
It said that a steady increase in spam generation from France, Italy and Poland were also contributing factors that lead to Europe's rise.
Asian countries' ranking in the "hall of shame" generally dropped, with both Vietnam and China dropping five places to tenth and twentieth.
The U.S. still remains the world's single biggest generator of junk emails, accounting for 15.2 percent of total spam sent during the second quarter.
India came in second at 7.7 percent and Brazil took third place with 5.5 percent.
South Korea came after Britain to be the world's fifth largest source of spam with 4.2 percent, followed by France at 4.1 percent, Germany at 4 percent, Italy at 3.6 percent and Russia at 2.8 percent.
Sophos reported that spam emails accounted for 97 percent of all emails received by business email servers, which is "putting a strain on network resources and wasting a huge amount of time to lost productivity."
"It's an uphill struggle educating users about the dangers of clicking on links or attachments in spam mails, and that their computers may already be under the control of cybercriminals," Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley told AFP news.
"Spam will continue to be a global problem for as long as it makes money for the spammers. It makes commercial sense for the criminals to continue if even a tiny proportion of recipients clicks on the links."

running forehand is used when on a dead run and you have time to hit an aggressive shot either 3/4 angle or dtl. you have time to transfer weight into the shot maybe some angular momentum etc.
running forehands can be very powerful.
they are different situations. if you are using a squash shot when you could be using a running fh then you are lazy, winded, have poor footwork or need more understanding of the game.
I don't agree with your last paragraph, just because you use a squash shot instead of a running forehand even though you had time to hit either does not necessarily mean any of your examples are true.
A running forehand that pulls you out of position and becomes a do or die shot depending on the situation can be a foolish choice. The squash shot makes it so much easier to recover and restart the point.
The squash shot can be a very effective shot, there are times I use it in a neutral top spin rally just to change the pace and throw my opponent off. But in most cases it is used because your opponent has made a good shot that has pulled you out of position, and it is a lot higher % shot than trying to hit the running forehand. Like the saying goes consistent tennis wins.

Blackfeather was an Australian rock group in the 1970s. The group had many members and went through two major incarnations – the earlier (short-lived) heavy rock version of the group, which recorded the album At The Mountains of Madness (1970) (its title taken from the novel by horror writer H.P. Lovecraft) and the hit single "Seasons of Change", and the later piano-based line-up led by singer Neale Johns, which scored an Australian No. 1 hit single with a cover of the US pop song "Boppin' The Blues".
The original version of Blackfeather was formed in early 1970 by guitarist John Robinson, bassist Leith Corbett and drummer Mike McCormack (all from the final line-up of recently disbanded Sydney group The Dave Miller Set), plus lead vocalist Neale Johns. Corbett and McCormack left soon after, replaced by Robert Fortesque (bass) and Alexander Kash (drums). Corbett subsequently reunited with singer Dave Miller to record the duo album Reflections of a Pioneer.
The second line-up of Blackfeather soon became a major draw-card around NSW and the group was signed by Festival Records' newly founded progressive subsidiary Infinity Records, for whom they recorded their acclaimed debut album At the Mountains of Madness (1970). The LP was co-produced by Robinson and Festival staff producer Richard Batchens (who went on to work with Sherbet and Richard Clapton), and it featured the hit song "Seasons of Change".
During this time Robinson had become close friends with members of the group Fraternity, including keyboardist John Bissett and singer Bon Scott (both of whom contributed to the Blackfeather album). He gave them "Seasons of Change" to record as a single, and also sought an undertaking from Infinity that they would not release the original Blackfeather version to compete with it. However, as soon as Fraternity's version reached the top of the charts in their home town of Adelaide, Festival reneged on the agreement and rush-released Blackfeather's version as a single; it reached No. 15 nationally, No. 39 in Sydney, and charted for 16 weeks.
Despite this success, internal frictions escalated and there were more line-up changes. Kash and Fortesque both quit after the album came out; Kash was briefly replaced by Terry Gascoigne, then by Steve Webb, and Fortesque by Harry Brus, who had briefly worked with Robinson in the original line-up of the Dave Miller Set back in 1967). After a heated argument at Festival studios during a recording session in early 1971, Robinson and Johns parted ways but, unknown to Robinson, manager Peter Conyngham had registered the Blackfeather name and thus owned the rights to it and Johns subsequently formed a new version of Blackfeather.
Robinson, Webb and Brus struggled on as a trio for a short time before disbanding. Robinson's later ventures included work with local all-star group Duck and a sought-after solo album, Pity for the Victim. He eventually retired from performing in the 1980s and became a teacher and composer.
The new Blackfeather led by Neale Johns (as lead vocalist and songwriter) included Warren Ward (bass), Jim Penson (drums), guitarist Alex "Zac" Zytnick (ex Tamam Shud) and pianist Paul Wylde. Zytnick left in December 1971 (replaced by guitarist Billy Taylor (ex-Flake), followed by Penson at the start of 1972.
In July they released the single, "Boppin' the Blues" (b/w "Find Somebody To Love"), a reworking of a 1956 Carl Perkins song, which became a number one hit in Australia in October 1972 for the band. The song featured Aztecs member Gil Matthews on drums. Since the group was between drummers at the time, the single was actually cut with Aztecs drummer Gil Matthews; drummer Trevor Young joined temporarily just before the single was released, but Young and Billy Taylor left soon after. Young was succeeded by Greg Sheehan but Taylor wasn't replaced and Blackfeather continued as a four-piece for the next few months. This line-up recorded the second Blackfeather LP, the Howard Gable-produced live album Boppin' The Blues, recorded from shows at Melbourne Town Hall and the Q Club in September, and released in December 1972.
Paul Wylde quit at the end of 1972. He was replaced by two guitarists, Lindsay Wells (ex-Healing Force) and Tim Piper, which returned Blackfeather to the harder, guitar-based style of the Robinson era. They performed at the second Sunbury Pop Festival in January 1973 and their set was recorded and released the following year as a live LP; one track ("I'm Gonna Love You") also featured on Mushroom Records' inaugural release, the triple-album recording of the concerts, released in April 1973.
The third Blackfeather single, a version of Little Richard's "Slippin & Slidin' " was issued in February 1973, by which time Sheehan had quit. He was briefly replaced by John Lee, but the group only lasted a short time and split in April. Lee then joined the newly formed country rock group The Dingoes and later joined the second line-up of Ariel.
Johns formed a new version of Blackfeather in 1975, with Billy Taylor, Ray Vanderby (ex-Band of Light, keyboards), Billy Rylands (bass) and Doug McDonald (drums), but this lasted only a short time. In early 1976 Johns formed a more pop-oriented version, with Vanderby, Lee Brosman, Warwick Fraser and Stewart Fraser (then aged just 14). Johns quit in November 1976 and went overseas, but the remaining members stayed together; picking up John Swan on lead vocals and Wayne Smith on guitar they renamed the group Feather. In mid-1977 Swan's brother Jimmy Barnes announced that he was quitting Cold Chisel to join Feather, but his farewell performance went so well that he decided to remain with Chisel.
Johns returned to Australia in 1977 and in June 1978, after a brief stint with the band Fingerprint, he formed a new version of Blackfeather that reunited the '72 line-up of Wylde, Ward and Young. By October all the members except Johns had left, and replaced by Ray Oliver, Rick Rankin, Jeff Rosenberg and Huk Treloar. Ex-Dingoes drummer John Strangio briefly replaced Treloar, but this version folded by the end of the year.
Johns formed a final Blackfeather line-up in 1983 with Russell Hinton (guitar), Andy Cowle (piano), Cleve Judge (Bass) and Joe Vizzone (Drums) but this too was short-lived.

Prep football: Barron Collier, Lely trying to recover from losses
NAPLES - Key players: BC - QB Justin Black, RB Isaac Fuller, RB Matt Gerhardstein, WR Mike Heuerman, LB Jake Berman, LB Conner Reynolds; L - QB Karbel Dirogene, RB De'warren Mobley, WR Jean Jean-Charles, DL Tyler Tanner, DL Claudel Alix, DB Zach Smith.
What to watch for: Barron Collier to be more physical on both sides of the ball. The Cougars trying to shut down Lely QB Karbel Dirogene, while trying to slow Lely's defensive nose guard Tyler Tanner. Lely looking to get momentum early with a score. Slow down Barron Collier by not giving the Cougars good field advantage. Create turnovers. Against North Port, Lely forced six turnovers, but only got one. Early Barron Collier lead could spell disaster for Lely.
While their records are opposite, Lely and Barron Collier coaches want to win badly on Friday night.
Yes, it is a rivalry, but with Lely at 1-3 and Barron Collier at 3-1, the goal for each is to win and get their season back on track.
Game time is 7:30.
Barron coach Mark Ivey continues to be upset over his Cougars' upset loss to Golden Gate. Lely coach Dave Miller continues to be dismayed over his team's lack of consistent defense.
Most likely it hasn't been a pleasant week for the Cougars. After its loss to Golden Gate, 37-29, Ivey was upset with his offense and defense. He also blamed himself.
"I have allowed kids to be lackluster because we were winning," he said. "Golden Gate whipped us and rubbed our noses in it. You play the way you practice, and we have been practicing harder."
Ivey said his offensive and defensive lines have been too nice.
"Until we get mean, it will be difficult to be successful," he said.
Miller says his team needs to be more physical to stay with Barron.
"We've been tougher with our guys this week," he said. "Barron is not just one person, it is a complete team and probably the best coached we have faced this year."
Unfortunately, Lely's offense is pretty much one person. Sophomore quarterback Karbel Dirogene leads the team in every offensive category. Most yards rushing, most touchdowns and passing yardage. De'warren Mobley helped in Lely's loss to North Port, rushing for 85 yards.
Ivey said of Dirogene, "He is an unstinkingly believable runner and thrower. They also have a nose guard (Tyler Tanner) who is unbelievable," on defense.
Miller said, "We need to come out and play great football. Getting an early lead is important. We need to be in position in the fourth quarter to win."

It only figured that Jamesville-DeWitt and Christian Brothers Academy, two of the most prestigious programs in the history of Section III basketball, would be part of another major milestone on Sunday.
Both the Red Rams and Brothers were part of the inaugural Holiday Classic at the Carrier Dome, the first high school games ever played there - and both would win there, too.
The three-time state Class A champion Red Rams were far from sharp, but still did enough to beat Elmira Southside by a score of 68-52. This came after CBA, led by senior forward Greg Thomson, cruised to a 54-44 victory over Fowler.
J-D, who had opened with a 92-41 win over Fulton three nights earlier, was in the spotlight once more - especially DaJuan Coleman, the 6-11 junior forward coveted by Syracuse and most of the nation's other top college programs.
Perhaps feeling some stage fright in the Dome, J-D played through a shaky opening sequence that included rushed passes and shots and just one basket from Coleman. It didn't help that Demetrius Mitchell, the Rams' superb senior guard, suffered a foot injury in the game's opening minute and did not return.
Gradually, the Rams' depth and talent tried to assert itself in the second quarter, but it wasn't until Pete Drescher notched a trio of baskets (he had 10 points in the half) that the Rams built some cushion. J-D clung to a 33-26 edge going into the break, far from secure.
As soon as the second half began, the tempo went much more to J-D's liking - fast and furious, with Coleman and fellow forward Tyler Cavanaugh using their strength and size to get inside points.
Southside still wouldn't go away, though, keeping itself within single digits deep into the fourth quarter as J-D ran its turnover total to 18 and remained uneven.

Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps
Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps (March 3, 1803 – August 22, 1860) was a French painter.
Decamps was born in Paris. In his youth he travelled in the East, and reproduced Oriental life and scenery with a bold fidelity to nature that puzzled conventional critics. His powers, however, soon came to be recognized, and he was ranked along with Delacroix and Ingres as one of the leaders of the French school. At the Paris Exhibition of 1855 he received the grand or council medal. Most of his life was passed in the neighborhood of Paris. He was fond of animals, especially dogs, and indulged in all kinds of field sports.
Decamps' style was characteristically and intensely French. It was marked by vivid dramatic conception, bold and even rough brushstrokes, and startling contrasts of color and of light and shade. His subjects embraced an unusually wide range. He availed himself of his travels in the East in dealing with scenes from Scripture history, which he was probably the first of European painters to represent with their true and natural local background. Of this class were his Joseph sold by his Brethren, Moses taken from the Nile, and his scenes from the life of Samson, nine vigorous sketches in charcoal and white.
Perhaps the most impressive of his historical pictures is Defeat of the Cimbri, representing the conflict between a horde of barbarians and a disciplined army. Decamps produced a number of genre pictures, chiefly scenes from French and Turkish domestic life, the most marked feature of which is humour. The same characteristic attaches to many of his numerous animal paintings; Decamps was especially fond of painting monkeys. His well-known painting The Monkey Connoisseurs satirizes the jury of the French Academy of Painting, which had rejected several of his earlier works on account of their divergence from any known standard.
He died in 1860 in consequence of being thrown from a horse while hunting at Fontainebleau.
His paintings and drawings were first made familiar to the English public through the lithographs of Eugene le Rouit.

Martin Alund of Argentina wore down Lleyton Hewitt of Australia 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 on Wednesday in the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships before rain washed out the rest of the day's schedule. Play was suspended at 2:47 p.m. at River Oaks Country Club after continuing rain left the clay courts too wet to continue. Top-seeded Nicolas Almagro of Spain and No. 2 Tommy Haas of Germany had their matches rescheduled for Thursday. Hewitt, the former top-ranked player in the world, broke Alund in the seventh game of the first set and closed out the set with an overhead winner. Alund and Hewitt traded breaks in the second and third games of the second set before Alund took control. Hewitt was broken again in the sixth game and Alund escaped two break points before capturing the second set in the ninth game. Hewitt escaped three match points in the final game but then double-faulted to end the match. Hewitt made the tiring trip from Uzbekistan after helping Australia to a 3-1 victory in Davis...

The power of his feather-caress words, the hallmark of Gulzar's poetry ensures everyone has a favourite. So, the announcement that the poet, lyricist, scriptwriter and filmmaker was being conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for 2013 on Saturday led to much happiness among his fraternity and fans.
Gulzar was his soft-spoken self when approached for a reaction. "I am thankful for the appreciation that this highest award stands for. I am humbled that I have been chosen for this honour," he said in his signature baritone.
The phone kept ringing at his Pali Hill residence, Boskiyana, as the who's who of the film and literary fraternity called to congratulate him. Among them, Bharat Ratna, nightingale Lata Mangeshkar. About the "much-deserved," she said: "Some of my own favourites among my songs have been his lyrics. His understanding of human feelings and the way he expresses them in simple words ensures everyone understands them."
While Gulzar had been a lyricist for many films like Kabuliwala (1957) and Shriman Satywadi (1960), the magical fusion of his words and the songstress' voice for Bandini (1963) with the song Mora Gora Ang Laile began an association, which would give Hindi cinema some of its greatest musical gems.
The octogenarian Sampooran Singh Kalra (Gulzar's real name) was born in 1934, in what is now the Punjab province of Pakistan. His family migrated to Amritsar from where he came to Bombay. Among the odd jobs he did then was working at a garage.
"It's this journey from the grassroots which one finds reflected in both the imagery and language of his poetry which borrows as heavily from the literary as the colloquial — even if it means dipping into Hinglish — without losing any of the lyrical charm," says cultural historian Mukul Joshi, who cites the instance of Sautan sapoli mori kaate jeheriya from Gulzar's adaptation of Begum Akhtar's iconic dadra in the recent Dedh Ishqiya and Aankhein bhi kamal karti hain/Personal se sawal karti hain from the 2005 chartbuster Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli.
Though most of his work since Bandini has been in Hindi and Urdu, the way he imbues his lyrics with Braj Bhasha, Awadhi, Khadiboli, Punjabi, Haryanvi or Marwari has made him popular with everyone from eight (Chaddi pehan ke phool khila hai) to eighty (Tum pukar lo, tumhara intezaar hai). The 45th Phalke awardee was conferred a Padma Bhushan in 2004 and the Sahitya Akademi award in 2002. Apart from four national film awards, he has also won an Oscar at the 81st Academy Awards for Jai Ho with AR Rahman in Slumdog Millionaire.
Best known for his association with the music composers like RD Burman, AR Rahman and Vishal Bharadwaj, he has also worked with others leading composers like Sachin Dev Burman, Salil Chowdhury, Shankar Jaikishan, Hemant Kumar, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Madan Mohan, Rajesh Roshan, Anu Malik, and Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy.
His films — Koshish, Mausam, Aandhi, Maachis and Hu Tu Tu — have also received acclaim. Aandhi, which many felt borrowed from the life of Indira Gandhi, was banned by the government during Emergency. This led to a drought in awards.
"It wasn't until much later that he began getting awards again," remembers Joshi who quips with a laugh, "Even they realised that it'd in fact increase the award's honour."
For the small screen too, Gulzar has written title songs for serials like Kuch Khoya Kuch Paya and Swayamsiddha (both sung by Lata Mangeshkar). His iconic work Mirza Ghalib and Tehreer... Munshi Premchand ki among others will always stand out.
His poetry anthologies — Chand Pukhraj Ka, Raat Pashmine Ki and Pandrah Paanch Pachattar — showcase the Triveni, a form of stanza he pioneered. In fact, it was his love for poetry that brought him and the late Meena Kumari, who herself dabbled in poetry, close. She bequeathed him a poetry notebook and collection of coloured stones in her last days. His short stories are published in Raavi Paar and Dhuan (smoke).

Proposals sent to the government for approvalMinister assures flood victims of all helpZP chief criticises R&B staff for taking up repairs
SRIKAKULAM: Minister for Revenue and Relief Dharmana Prasada Rao said on Wednesday that proposals for strengthening the embankments of the Vamsadhara and Nagavali rivers with an estimated expenditure of Rs. 350 crores were sent to the Centre.
The proposals, if implemented, would solve the problem of recurring floods, said the Minister who visited the flood-affected areas in the mandals of Narasannapeta, Jalumuru and Saruvakota.
He interacted with flood victims and assured them of extending all possible help from the Government.
At a meeting later, the Minister distributed input subsidy to farmers. Local MLA Dharmana Krishna Das was present.
Review meet
Reviewing flood relief works at the Collectorate on Tuesday evening, the Minister enquired about the relief provided to flood victims and asked officials about reports of irregularities.
"You should give correct figures. Statistical jugglery won't help," said an evidently unhappy Minister.
Mr. Prasada Rao, who continued the review till late in the night, said: "The Government is prepared to give whatever is required for the rehabilitation of flood victims.
You must rise to the occasion and ensure that the relief reached the correct person."
Mr. Prasada Rao said that the Government had sanctioned Rs.2.50 lakhs to the kin of the deceased in the floods.
Necessary funds for payment of compensation to farmers who lost their crops had also been released.
The Minister wanted payments be completed in two or three days. This should be done transparently, he said.
District Collector V.N. Vishnu was present.
Road network
Zilla Parishad Chairman Palavalasa Rajasekharam criticized the R&B Department for not taking up repairs to the damaged roads even after two months.
The road network had been completely damaged in Palakonda division, he said.

PUNXSUTAWNEY ã The holiday season will not begin and end with the annual Home for the Holidays parade, the Circle of Trees illumination and the arrival of Santa Claus.
The Punxsutawney Area Chamber of Commerce and PRIDE seek groups, businesses and organization to host current and ongoing holiday activities for Punxsyãs month-long Christmas celebration: From the start of special events Saturday, Nov. 26, through Christmas Day.
Both Marlene Lellock, Chamber executive director, and Katie Laska, of PRIDE, said the two groups seek to recreate the Home for the Holidays model from the 1990s that was part of the Punxsutawney Main Street Project.
ãWe think people just want to see that again in Punxsy,ã Lellock said.
The Chamber and PRIDE also ask local residents to think about the phrase: ãHomeã for the holidays, and exploring and supporting local events and businesses.
ãIt was like this in the past,ã Laska said. ãWhen it started, there were events every weekend.ã
ãWhen you have more events, youãre more likely to keep people in town,ã Lellock added.
Many of the ongoing Home for the Holidays events ã such as the parade, Santa Clausã visit and the First Church of Godãs Living Christmas Tree, for example ã will continue, but the Chamber and PRIDE seek individuals and groups to host events that will attract guests for the weeks between the parade and Christmas.
New events may include craft sales; caroling groups; sleigh rides; plays; church events; decorating contests;open houses; etc.
ãBusinesses featuring special events will draw customers to their businesses,ã Laska said. ãThatãs essentially what this is all about: Drawing people into businesses during the holiday season.ã
The enhanced Home for the Holidays events also provide excellent opportunities for PAHS juniors and seniors to help as part of their senior projects.
Starting today, The Punxsutawney Spirit will run a listing of events as they are scheduled, and the updated schedule will appear in the newspaper every Tuesday.
Lellock said, ãThe sooner you get the event to us, the more it will be publicized.ã
Home for the Holidays events scheduled so far include:
Nov. 26
ã Mistletoe Madness, downtown.
ã Home for the Holidays parade, 6 p.m.
ã Rotary Clubãs annual Christmas Tree Lighting, following the parade, and Circle of Trees Light-Up Night, both in Barclay Square.
Dec. 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18
ã First Church of Godãs Living Christmas Tree.
For more information, or to add your event, call the Chamber at 938-7700 ext. 2, or Katie at (814) 590-6868.

Noah crushes the glass
For Indiana, Danny Granger had an odd night in terms of fantasy stats. He was 9-for-23 from the floor, and didn't make a single 3-pointer, but he finished with 22 points, six rebounds, six steals and only one turnover. No one else for the Pacers had a line even worth mentioning, but, it should be noted, the Spurs tend to do that to opposing teams.
LeBron simply didn't get enough help against the Bulls. He scored 39 points, but the rest of his team was just 20-for-57 from the floor, good for a robust 35 percent. After racking up 10 assists in his 50-point game against the Knicks, LeBron only had one assist against the Bulls to go along with only three rebounds. Clearly, the new guys are still learning to play with each other in Cleveland and Anderson Varejao's 2-for-11 performance last night makes it abundantly clear that the Cavs do, in fact, miss Drew Gooden's ability to score points in the low post. That said, I still think it's worth owning Delonte West, especially in head-to-head leagues, where his production could be extremely useful in the fantasy playoffs. His numbers should get better as he gets more comfortable playing with LeBron, and just in time, too.
The story for the Bulls was a huge night on the glass for rookie big man Joakim Noah. After averaging fewer than six points and six rebounds in his past 10 games, Noah finished with 13 points and 20 rebounds Thursday. He's worth owning in keeper leagues, clearly (though I dropped him for Houston's Carl Landry just Wednesday in mine), but in most leagues, I think he'll continue being too inconsistent to use. His large rebounding numbers tonight were likely the product of the Cavs missing 51 shots. Don't expect another performance like this out of Noah for a little while.
Speaking of Landry, the Rockets' rookie big man put up 17 points in 24 minutes against the Nowitzki-less Mavericks, continuing his good habit of being ridiculously productive whenever he gets on the floor. He should see his minutes increase bit-by-bit as the season progresses, because with Yao out for the rest of the season and the playoffs, Landry becomes valuable as a guy who can possibly command a double-team in the post come playoff time. For this year, his value may end up being a bit negated as defenses learn his strengths and weaknesses and start game-planning for him. That said, as we learn every year, you can't teach energy, and Landry gets a lot of his buckets on position and hustle, which is a good sign. In keeper leagues, I think he has some real value for next season if the Rockets don't bring back Chuck Hayes or Dikembe Mutombo.
Luis Scola's value, on the other hand, isn't going anywhere. He's putting up 15.4 points and 6.4 rebounds on 65 percent shooting from the floor in his past five games, and I see no reason why, in the absence of Yao, he can't continue putting up those kinds of numbers for the rest of the season. He's no ordinary rookie; most people expected him to come in and be productive right away, and it looks like he's finally fulfilling that promise.
On the Mavericks' side, it was just another terrible, terrible night for Jason Kidd. He finished with seven points, six rebounds and six assists, but he had four turnovers and was absolutely torched by Rafer Alston to the tune of 24 points, five rebounds, four assists and zero turnovers. In fact, Houston only turned the ball over five times as a team and scored 113 points. You're not going to win many games when you're a minus-7 in turnovers for the game, and it's looking like part of that problem might be Kidd. It should also be noted that Nowitzki didn't play in this game -- due to a suspension for decking Andrei Kirilenko in Utah -- which certainly didn't help the Mavs on the offensive end. I suppose Kidd's name recognition makes him an automatic start still in fantasy leagues, but if he was on my team, I'd really be thinking twice before playing him against any good point guard. Struggling against Chris Paul is understandable, but struggling against Rafer Alston is, to me, a major red flag.

The Canadian Hockey League today announced that Raffaele D'Orso of the Val d'Or Foreurs is the ADT CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending February 1. D'Orso won three games for the Foreurs including one shutout victory stopping a total of 133 shots with a goals-against-average of 1.33 and a save percentage of .971.

On Friday D'Orso was again solid between the pipes making 33 saves helping the Foreurs defeat the Halifax Mooseheads 6-2. His week would end on Saturday with an outstanding performance against a strong Moncton Wildcats team. D'Orso made 22 third period saves for a game-total of 52 as first star of the game leading the Foreurs to a 4-2 win.
The OHL nominee for the award this week is Scott Stajcer of the Owen Sound Attack who won all three of his starts and posted a goals-against-average of 2.00 with an OHL best save percentage of .956. Stajcer is eligible for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and competed at the 2009 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.
Lightning prospect Dustin Tokarski of the Spokane Chiefs was the best goaltender in the WHL for the third week in a row with three victories including two shutouts allowing just one goal on 88 shots. Tokarski has now won 11 straight games for the Chiefs.

Fargo's Witkowski an All-StarSubmitted by chad on January 14, 2009 - 09:45
The USHL has announced their lineups for the 2009 USHL Prospects/All-Star Game to be held February 4 in Sioux Falls. Lightning prospect and Western Michigan University commit Luke Witkowski was named to the defensive squad for the West Division.
Teams are selected by a vote from league coaches.
Witkowski, a 2008 6th round pick, stands 6'2" and weights 200 pounds. The Force captain leads all Fargo defensemen in scoring with three goals and 10 points in 29 games this season. He also leads all Force players - and is fifth in the league among defensemen - in plus/minus with a plus-15 rating. He is second in the league among defensemen behind teammate Steve Spinnell (undrafted, Miami Univ. commit) in penalty minutes with 76.
Last season, Witkowski scored 13 points (3 goals) in 59 games with the Ohio Junior Blue Jackets - his first in the USHL. Luke will begin his collegiate career at WMU next fall.
Downie Named to AHL All-Star SquadSubmitted by timothy on January 6, 2009 - 14:52
The American Hockey League announced today that Norfolk Admirals forward and Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Steve Downie will play for Team Canada at the 2009 AHL All-Star Classic presented by Charter Communications, to be played later this month at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Downie, a 5-foot-10, 192-pound native of Newmarket, Ontario, has posted six goals and 14 assists for 20 points in just 15 games for Norfolk this season. Among his notable accomplishments with the Admirals this season are a franchise-record tying four-assist game on December 13 versus Bridgeport, a hat trick on December 27 versus Philadelphia and a Norfolk season-high eight-game scoring streak from November 16 – December 27 during which he registered five goals and ten assists.
Downie was acquired by the Tampa Bay Lightning from the Philadelphia Flyers along with Steve Eminger on November 7 in the deal that sent Matt Carle to the Flyers. Prior to the trade, he also appeared in four games with the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, recording one goal and seven assists. In 19 total AHL games this season, Downie has seven goals and 21 assists for 28 points. In 41 career AHL contests between Norfolk and Philadelphia, the second-year professional has scored 12 goals and 38 assists for 50 points.
Bolts Get Two on Team CanadaSubmitted by chad on December 15, 2008 - 10:22
TSN.ca is announcing Team Canada's final roster for the upcoming World Junior Championship, and for the first time two Lightning draftees will be on the squad.
Two-way winger/center Dana Tyrell of the WHL's Prince George Cougars, a 2007 2nd round draft choice, is one of just 12 forwards named to the team. Goaltender Dustin Tokarski, a 2008 fifth round pick from Spokane of the WHL, is one of two goalies, joining Tri-City's Chet Pickard.
A character forward known for his work ethic, physical play, and scoring, Tyrell currently leads Prince George with 19 goals and 21 assists for 40 points in 30 games. The 19 year old nicknamed "Whiskers" also serves as captain of the Cougars.
Tokarski leads the WHL in save percentage (.938) and shutouts (4) and is second in goals against average (1.97) to Vancouver's Jamie Tucker, who has now played in the minimum amount of games to be counted among that category's leaders.
The Lightning have not had a draftee on Team Canada since Brad Richards in 1999-2000.
Tampa Bay joins St. Louis, L.A., and Buffalo as the only NHL teams to place multiple prospects on the team.
