Nigeria national football team- Super Eagles
The Nigeria national football team, nicknamed the Super Eagles, is the national team of Nigeria and is controlled by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The team has ranked as high as 5th in the FIFA World Rankings, in April 1994. They won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics and the Africa Cup of Nations on two occasions, and have reached the FIFA World Cup finals four times. On 4 October 2010, Nigeria was indefinitely banned from international football due to government interference (fraud) following the 2010 World Cup.[4] Four days later, however, the ban was "provisionally lifted" until 26 October, the day after the National Association of Nigerian Footballers dropped its court case against the NFF.
After playing other colonies in unofficial games since the 1930s,[6] Nigeria played its first official game in October 1949, while still a British colony. The team played warmup games in England against various amateur teams like Dulwich Hamlet, Bishop Auckland and South Liverpool. The team's first major success was a gold medal in the 2nd All-Africa games, with 3rd place finishes in 1976 and 1978's African Cup of Nations to follow. In 1980 the team had such players as Leyton Orient's John Chiedozie and Tunji Banjo, and the Muda Lawal / Christian Chukwu-led Super Eagles won the Cup for the first time in Lagos. In 1984 and 1988, Nigeria reached the Cup of Nations final, losing both times to Cameroon. Three of the four African titles won by Cameroon have been won by defeating Nigeria. Missing out to Cameroon on many occasions has created an intense rivalry between both nations. Two notable occasions; narrowly losing out on qualification for 1990 World Cup and then the controversial final of the 2000 African Nations Cup where a goal scored by Victor Ikpeba during a penalty shoot out was disallowed by the referee[citation needed].
1994 World CupNigeria finally reached the World Cup for the first time in the 1994 FIFA World Cup. They were managed by Clemens Westerhof. Nigeria topped its group which included Argentina, Bulgaria, and Greece. In its first game Nigeria defeated Bulgaria 3–0, lost to Argentina 1–2, and qualified for the second round after a 2–0 victory over Greece. In the second round Nigeria played Italy and took the lead with a goal from Amunike at 25 min. Nigeria were within one minute of qualifying for the Quarter finals of 1994 World Cup in the game against Italy but Roberto Baggio scored to take the game to extra time. He also scored the eventual winning goal.
1998 World CupIn 1998 Nigeria returned to the World Cup alongside Cameroon, Morocco, Tunisia, and South Africa. Optimism was high due to its manager Bora Milutinović and the return of most 1994 squad members. In the final tournament Nigeria were drawn into group D with Spain, Bulgaria, Paraguay. Nigeria scored a major upset by defeating Spain 3–2 after coming back twice from being 1–0 and 2–1 down. The Eagles qualified for the second round with win against Bulgaria and loss to Paraguay. The team's hopes of surpassing its 1994 performance was shattered after a 4–1 loss to Denmark.
2002 & 2006 World CupsThe 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan, saw Nigeria again qualify with optimism. With a new squad and distinctive pastel green kits the Super Eagles were expected to build on its strong performances in the 2000 and 2002 African Cup of Nations. Nigeria were drawn into group F with powerhouses Sweden, Argentina, and England. The first game against Argentina started with a strong defence that kept the first half scoreless. In the 61st minute Gabriel Batistuta breached the Nigerian defense to put Argentina in the lead 1–0 and win the game. Nigeria's second game against Sweden saw them take the lead but later lose 2–1. Nigeria then drew 0–0 with England and bowed out in the first round.
Nigeria missed out on qualification for the 2006 World Cup after finishing level on points in the qualification group with Angola, but having an inferior record in the matches between the sides.
2010 World CupOn 14 November 2009, Nigeria qualified for the 2010 World Cup after defeating Kenya by 3–2 in Nairobi.
Nigeria lost its opening match against Argentina 1–0 at Ellis Park Stadium following a Gabriel Heinze header in the 6th minute. In its second game Nigeria led early on by a goal from Kalu Uche. A red card against Sani Kaita gave Greece the advantage. Greece scored the equalizer early in the second half and Nigeria conceded the second goal and lost the game 2–1. They then drew 2–2 with South Korea and failed to qualify for the next round. On 30 June 2010, following its early exit and poor showing, the President of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan suspended the national football team from international competition for two years This suspension put the team at risk of being banned from international football by FIFA for reasons of political interference. On 5 July 2010, the Nigerian government rescinded its ban of the national football team from FIFA/CAF football competitions, but the sanction of suspension was applied by FIFA some three months after.
African Nations CupNigeria won the African Nations Cup twice (1980 and 1994). More recently they took third place at the 2002 African Nations Cup, the 2004 African Nations Cup, the 2006 African Nations Cup, and the 2010 African Nations Cup.

Both had optic atrophy, pitressinsensitive diabetes insipidus, and insulindependent diabetes mellitus, with onset occurring in early childhood. Although there are now 21 patients from 15 families with this syndrome, this is the first time that necropsy findings have become available. They include the expected atrophy of hypothalamic nuclei and degeneration of the optic nerves, chiasm and tract, as well as a totally unexpected degeneration of the pons and cerebellum.

A desire for recognition can inspire you to use your gifts in a very public way today. Since you are likely in an extroverted mood, you may think nothing of taking on obligations that allow you to be the center of attention. Yet your time in the spotlight will likely be even more fulfilling if you are willing to use the aptitudes and talents you have been given to their full extent. This may mean showing off a skill or faculty that earns you the admiration of some and the envy of others. Try not to let worldly reactions quell your outgoing and spirited relationship to work and play today as you will likely attract attention no matter what.
We make the most of our unique talents and aptitudes when we are unafraid to use them in a public setting. Many of us hesitate before showing the world what we are capable of because we have been taught that this type of overt display is a form of boastfulness. Yet we accomplish nothing by hiding what we can do under the veil of modesty and may be depriving the world around us of something it desperately needs. When we make ourselves useful in the various spheres of our lives, we discover that we can use our gifts to help others and help ourselves. We also find that there is a great deal of satisfaction to be had in simply employing the skills we have been blessed with to their fullest extent. You will receive the recognition you desire today when you are outgoing and productive.

Ravenswood Steelworker Union Hierarchy Faces Federal Charges in Wake of Strike Intimidation
Union officials threaten workers who refused to abandon their jobs
Ravenswood, WV (May 9, 2013) – Four Constellium Rolled Products workers have filed federal charges against a local Steelworker union in the wake of last summer's union-instigated strike against the company.
With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, the Constellium employees filed the unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
The four workers resigned their union membership in the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 5668 union before they continued to work during the strike. Under federal law, workers who refrain from union membership are exempt from the union hierarchy's constitution and bylaws and thus cannot be disciplined for continuing to work during a union boss-ordered strike.
In late March, the four workers received threatening letters from USW Local 5668 union officials stating that the union hierarchy intends to levy retaliatory strike fines against the workers at "the maximum penalty allowed." Union officials also stated that the workers will be placed "at the bottom of the seniority list," which is a clear violation of federal labor law.
Because West Virginia does not have Right to Work protections making union affiliation completely voluntary, the four workers are still forced to pay part of union dues to keep their jobs. However, under the Foundation-won U.S. Supreme Court precedent upheld in Communication Workers v. Beck, workers who refrain from union membership cannot be forced to pay for union activities unrelated to workplace bargaining, such as politics and political lobbying. Despite this Court precedent, USW Local 5668 union officials continue to extract full union dues from the workers' paychecks.
"USW union bosses are trying to punish workers who had the courage not to toe the union boss line and instead provide for their families," said Mark Mix, President of National Right to Work. "Workers should not be forced to abandon their jobs and be denied their right to provide for themselves and their families at the whim of militant union bosses."
"This case underscores the need for a state Right to Work law making union affiliation and dues payments completely voluntary," added Mix.
Twenty-four states have Right to Work protections for employees. Public polling shows that nearly 80 percent of Americans and union members support the principle of voluntary unionism.

Objectives To expand the spectrum of the clinical presentation of anti–glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies–related limbic encephalitis and to improve the recognition of this entity.
Design Case study.
Setting University hospital.
Patient An 11-year-old-girl with progressive mood and behavioral disorder, speech impairment, and short-term memory impairment who manifested cerebellar ataxia with nystagmus during the disease course.
Interventions Blood and cerebrospinal fluid analysis including autoantibodies, electroencephalography, brain and spinal magnetic resonance imaging, and cognitive and neuropsychological assessment were performed. High-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate pulses, cycles of intravenous immunoglobulins, mycophenolate mofetil, and rituximab as well as antipsychotics and benzodiazepine were administered.
Results Diagnosis of anti–glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies–related limbic encephalitis was made. The clinical features during the first months of disease included only mood, behavioral, and memory impairment. After 5 months, despite immunotherapies, cerebellar ataxia with nystagmus appeared with brain magnetic resonance imaging evidence of cerebral atrophy. No clinical or infraclinical seizures were recorded during follow-up.
Conclusions Anti–glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies–related limbic encephalitis can present with only behavioral or neuropsychological symptoms without any epileptic disorder. Moreover, cerebellar ataxia related to anti–glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies can be observed in patients with limbic encephalitis during the disease course.
Limbic encephalitis (LE) is a clinicopathological entity characterized by inflammation of limbic structures causing mediotemporal lobe symptoms.1 Although it mainly affects adults with tumors, nonparaneoplastic cases and a few pediatric patients have recently been described.1 It is suspected in individuals presenting with limbic signs and symptoms (temporal seizures, impairment in recent memory, affective disorder) and displaying fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hyperintensity involving the medial temporal regions. The diagnosis is confirmed by detection of the following: (1) specific LE-related autoantibodies (Abs), including Abs directed against membrane antigens (voltage-gated potassium channel, N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor, γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor) and onconeural Abs, (2) an associated neoplasm, or (3) inflammation at histopathological analysis.2 Recently, LE related to anti–glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) Abs has been reported in patients presenting with epileptic seizures as the predominant clinical feature.2- 6 Herein, we describe a pediatric case of LE associated with anti-GAD Abs displaying a severe and progressive disease course in the absence of any epileptic disorder.
An 11-year-old-girl, with no previous medical history, had a progressive mood and behavioral disorder for 1 month with impaired performance at school, slow speech, short-term memory impairment, sudden and frequent bursts of crying, anxiety, and hyperphagia. Electroencephalography showed low-amplitude theta-delta rhythms on the left temporoparietal regions, without paroxysmal abnormalities. Brain MRI showed T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity in the cortical-subcortical mesial temporal region bilaterally, more extensive on the left (Figure, A). Spinal MRI findings were unremarkable. Unmatched oligoclonal IgG bands were detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Findings on extensive serum and CSF tests for viral, bacterial, and fungal infections were negative. Serum N -methyl-D-aspartate Abs were not detected. There were anti-GAD Abs in the serum (641 U/mL; reference range, <1.0 U/mL) and CSF (6 U/mL; reference range, <0.2 U/mL). Anti–voltage-gated potassium channel complex Abs were found in the serum (154 pmol/L; reference range, 0-100 pmol/L) but not in the CSF. Onconeural Abs (anti-Yo, anti-Hu, anti-Ri, anti-Ma1, anti-Ma2, anti-CV2/CRMP5, anti-amphiphysin) were absent. The patient developed autoimmune thyroiditis with Abs against thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase, requiring L-thyroxin therapy. Findings were negative for transglutaminase IgA and antiendomysium IgA. No alteration of glucose levels was detected at any time. The patient was treated with repeated pulses of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate and 4 cycles of intravenous immunoglobulins with no significant improvement.
Figure. Brain magnetic resonance imaging. A, Coronal fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging performed at admission shows hyperintensity (arrows) involving the cortical-subcortical mesial temporal region bilaterally, more extensive on the left, where the signal abnormalities also affect the subinsular region. B, Coronal T2-weighted imaging performed 4 months later demonstrates severe atrophic changes of the affected regions with ex vacuo dilatation of the ventricular system and adjacent subarachnoid spaces.
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, third edition, administered 3 months after disease onset, showed a full-scale IQ of 70 with discrepancy between the verbal IQ (60) and the performance IQ (87). Neuropsychological assessment revealed deterioration in attention-concentration, flexibility, verbal memory, and language (fluency, naming, verbal working memory). Perseverations, impulsivity, bizarre behavior, and mood disturbances were severe.
Serial electroencephalography performed during follow-up showed disappearance of slow rhythms; no clinical or infraclinical seizures were recorded during monitoring.
Five months after onset, the level of serum anti-GAD Abs was lower at 69 U/mL (CSF anti-GAD Abs 4 U/mL; oligoclonal bands still positive), but the patient developed nystagmus and severe ataxia with progressive gait disturbance. There was no improvement with mycophenolate mofetil or further high-dose methylprednisolone pulse followed by rituximab (375 mg/m2 of body surface area in 4 days). Symptomatic treatment with antipsychotics and benzodiazepine produced only minimal improvement on behavior. No seizures occurred at any time during the follow-up. Longitudinal brain MRI demonstrated prominent bilateral temporal lobe atrophy with involvement of the frontobasal and insular regions at 1 month from the onset, with mild progression at months 2, 4 (Figure, B), and 6. Total-body MRI results and a search for paraneoplastic markers were negative.
The few reported cases of LE associated with anti-GAD Abs typically include seizures that are usually partial, originating in the mesial temporal areas, and often drug resistant; there is associated memory and affective impairment.2,5 One patient presented with subacute short-term memory and language deterioration and developed epilepsy 5 years after disease onset, but the diagnosis of LE was questionable owing to the normality of brain MRI findings.3 The outcome of anti-GAD Abs–related LE is largely unfavorable in both adults and children because drug-resistant seizures and cerebral atrophy are very frequent.2,5
In our patient, clinical symptoms were extremely subtle at onset with only mood and behavioral changes, mimicking a psychiatric disorder. However, 5 months following disease onset, she developed cerebellar signs such as nystagmus, ataxia, and gait impairment requiring a wheelchair. Brain MRI disclosed rapid evolution into cerebral atrophy. Remarkably, she never had epileptic seizures at any time during follow-up. Cerebellar ataxia has a known association with anti-GAD Abs–related neurological disorders,3 but it has never been described in patients with LE associated with anti-GAD Abs.
To our knowledge, this is the first report of an association between cerebellar ataxia with nystagmus and anti-GAD Abs–related LE. This observation supports a pathogenetic role of anti-GAD Abs in cerebellar dysfunction.3
In conclusion, this article expands the spectrum of the clinical presentation of anti-GAD Abs–related LE. Testing for anti-GAD Abs should be performed in all patients with clinical suspicion of LE, even in cases of sudden-onset, isolated behavioral changes and in the absence of any seizure disorder.

He got overconfident and paid the price for it. You can't go completely offensive against a counter-puncher of Marquez's caliber.

had to watch it on a crappy live stream in the basement of the residence hall at the university, couldn't find a bar that was showing it....when i saw the KO i screamed out loud, even the ppl who weren't into boxing wanted to see the KO, that's what i love about boxing, it's the most emotionally accessable sport that even ppl who don't know anything about boxing want to see a good KO, and that was a good KO!

It's wrong of Marquez to be taking credit as if he planned it. He was lucky and he gets credit for the win, and should be happy with that. It will increase his bargaining power for the return. Some say he deserved to win, I say no, because he was not winning, he was well on the way to losing in a big way, so the fighter who deserved to win was the guy who was doing the most to win, and that was MannyP, who was beating Marquez up until he was KO'd with that single punch.
It was the unpredictability of boxing, which is what makes it exciting for specatators.

lol dude, not giving credit where credit is due is as bad as nuthugging... Marquez won the fight with an explosive KO, he won the fight decisively...but to act as if Pacman wasnt giving him his everything, and pretty much beating Marquez up is straight up ignorance.

Finally, the game we had all been waiting for was here. Broncos at Colts, Peyton Manning's return to Indianapolis.
The week before the game was absolutely crazy, it began to feel as though it was Peyton Manning against the Indianapolis Colts – no one else mattered. The play of Andrew Luck, the return of Von Miller, everyone took a backseat to the circus.
Don't think the Colts didn't notice.
After the jump, we'll take a look at the performance of the Colts' offense, defense and special teams and we'll give you our players of the game for both sides of the ball.
The Colts offense returned to their classic slow starts. Their first drive ended in a 3 and out after three straight runs and their second drive included a sack and another punt.
After scoring a FG and after recovering a fumble, the Colts offense had a 1st down on Denver's 11-yard line. A well-designed play left Darrius Heyward Bay wide open and he would score his 1st TD as a Colt. Nice job, Pep.
Down by two, the Colts would have good field position again. Pep's obsession of involving FB Stanley Havili in the passing game would finally pay off. Havili took a short pass from Luck to the end zone to make it 19-14. It was cool and all, but I'm not sure they should try to do that again very often.
Right before the half, Luck would orchestrate a 2-minute drive to score another TD to Fleener to extend their lead to 12 points. The Colts weren't just keeping up with the best offense in the league. They were dominating the game.
With less than 7 minutes remaining in the third quarter, the offense again enjoyed great field position inside Denver's territory. Luck would score his 4th and Indy's final TD of the game, this time on a 10 yard run, extending the Colts lead to 19 points.
Unfortunately, the 4th quarter wasn't great for the offense. Up 36-23, Trent Richardson fumbled the freaking football on Indy's own 23-yard line. Denver recovered and reduced Indy's lead to 6 points.
Luckily, the Colts were able to capitalize after Angerer's interception and scored the FG that would make the difference in the game, giving them their 5th win of the season.
Trent Richardson had yet another bad game as a Colt. His fumble in the 4th quarter almost ruined the game for the Colts. If it wasn't for Ronnie Hillman and the Colts defense, the outcome of the game might've been very different. It's frustrating to look at him doing little to nothing every week. If you're lucky, you get a couple good runs from him every game and that's about it. It's a lot worse when you remember (not that it's easy to forget) that Grigson gave up next year's 1st round pick for him. As of today, Donald Brown is the better RB without a doubt. Fans shouldn't give up on him yet, but Richardson needs to improve FAST. Hopefully the bye week will help him.
Andrew Luck stole the show tonight with 3 TD passes and another one on the ground. But the night was far from perfect: Reggie Wayne suffered a season ending injury (torn ACL) trying to catch a poorly thrown ball in a play that should've ended in a TD. That is one tough blow for the Colts.
Other than a weak running game and Reggie's injury the Colts offense had a great game. Where was this team against San Diego?
Offensive player of the game: Andrew Luck
Andrew Luck keeps amazing us week after week. He had a fantastic night with 228 yards passing, 29 yards rushing, 3 TDs through the air and one on the ground. On Peyton's night, Luck stole the show.
Everyone was worried about the defense facing the greatest QB in the league and all the weapons he had available.
They played hard from the start, forcing a 3 and out in Denver's first possession. The problem is, the Broncos are just too good offensively.
With under 12 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, the defense had already allowed 14 points. But the defense didn't crumble. Instead, they bounced back pretty quickly.
Down 14-10, with the Broncos deep in their own field, Robert Mathis would hit Peyton Manning, forcing a fumble. The Colts weren't able to recover the ball inside the end zone, so they "only" got a safety, but it was still a HUGE play for the defense. One of the most important plays for the Colts in the entire game. The Broncos wouldn't score again until late in the 3rd quarter.
Obviously, it was far from over. Peyton would catch fire late in the 3rd quarter. The Broncos would eventually score 13 points and make it 36-30. In one of those series, Manning only needed 3 plays (80 yards) and 48 seconds to score a TD. The crowd knew that no lead is a safe lead against Peyton Manning. The defense needed yet another big play and they delivered.
With the scoreboard still reading 36-30, the Broncos got the ball back. As they did all night long, the Colts came up big in key situations and kept the pressure on Peyton Manning. Erik Walden would get a hand on him as he was passing. The ball got up in the air and Pat Angerer intercepted it.
But that wasn't it. Down by 9, Manning drove the ball again to the Colts 2 yd line. Walden would make yet another huge play. He would force a fumble after hitting Ronnie Hillman and the Colts recovered. After that, the Broncos scored 3 more points, but it wasn't enough. Whew…
There's only one way to describe the defense in this game: incredible. They played hard the entire game, allowing just 17 points in 3 quarters against the NFL's best offense. They pressured Manning like no other team had in a long time. They sacked him 4 times, forced two fumbles, got a safety and intercepted a pass. They came up with big plays at the right time. They were disciplined against the run and against the pass.
I don't think a lot of people expected them to perform so well. Even Erik Walden had a couple of GREAT plays!
Grade: A
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: Robert Mathis (honorable mention: Vontae Davis and Darius Butler)
He sacked Peyton Manning twice and forced the fumble that would result in a safety. After that safety, the Broncos wouldn't score again until late in the 4th quarter. Mathis is always intense. This time though, he took it to a different level.
Not a good start for the STs. Pat McAfee's first punt gave the Broncos good field position and earned a lot of boos from the stands.
Fortunately, he'd bounce back.
The Colts did a great job against the game's best returner, Trindon Holliday. Stanley Havili forced a fumble, giving the Colts the ball on the Bronco's 11 yard line.
On the very next kickoff, Holliday was close to taking it to the end zone but around the 50 yd line, McAfee would make an insane tackle that fired up the crowd and the STs for the rest of the game. Holliday disappeared in the 2nd half.
McAfee's punts often put the Broncos inside their own 20 yard line. Denver would lose the football twice -a fumble resulting in a safety and an interception- in such conditions.
Vinatieri finished with 3 FGs.
Grade: A

Taylor Lautner is packing on the pounds in the hopes of convincing Twilight producers he should return in the sequel, New Moon, as a bigger and more mature werewolf Jacob Black.
"I have been working out. I've been working out since the day we finished filming Twilight. I just weighed myself today; I've put on 19 lbs.," Lautner told MTV on Wednesday night at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Salute to Young Hollywood party.
Although Summit Entertainment has yet to give him the job, Lautner, 16, is the overwhelming favorite among fans to return over reported candidate Michael Copon of Scorpion King 2, according to a PEOPLE poll.
And Lautner says he's meeting this week with director Chris Weitz to make – and show – his case.
"I'm guaranteeing Weitz 10 more [pounds] by filming," the star said at the InStyle-sponsored bash in West Hollywood.
Twilight costar Ashley Greene is already in Lautner's corner.
"We all love Taylor. He's such a sweet guy, so sweet and I think that he gets the part," Greene tells PEOPLE. "And the thing is that the girls just love him. He is the teen heartthrob. ... I'm hoping that they don't replace him because we love him."

The ageless Steve Martin—does he look five minutes older than he did when Jimmy Carter was President?—continues to mature as a writer. His second charming novella (after 2000's Shopgirl) is about a mildly crazy guy who crawls out of his shell thanks to a road trip and a little lad. Think Rain Man meets About a Boy. Our obsessive-compulsive narrator, Daniel Cambridge, is able to function on his own in his Santa Monica apartment, but barely; he can't hold a job, so he lives off Granny's checks. He also has to have 1125 watts of light burning at all times, even when he's asleep. He's lonely, of course—"There are few takers for the quiet heart"—but also a little bit brilliant.
It's a mistake to think of Martin as just a gut buster of a comedian. On the page his gifts for subtlety and slyness compare to those of the finest comic novelists. This sweet, simple, gentle story is dusted with confectioner's sugar, not floating in syrup.

And with the second pick in the NBA draft, the Seattle Times reports that the Sonics, after the Oden/Durant show, have a roster of Accords to dump to acquire a Lexus.

Popular TV show Ek Tha Rusty's next episodes will be based on Bond's novel
Noted author Ruskin Bond's 2012 novel Maharani will be getting a small screen treatment soon for a show.
Doordarshan's popular TV show Ek Tha Rusty's next episodes will be based on the Bond's 2012 novel which talks about a spoilt, selfish, beautiful widow of the Maharajah of Mastipur.
"The next 26 episodes will be about the sensational novel of Ruskin Bond. The story caters to all, adults and families. Its shooting is going on," said Subhadarshini Singh, producer-director of the show.
Singh said the stories of Bond that will be shown on the show will no more have themes just for children.
"The themes now will have murder, mystery, betrayal, which are not for children. So, the scope is widened and the show is for families and grown-ups," she said.
Maharani is one of the mature novels penned by Bond, who is famous for writing children books.
His novels The Blue Umbrella, A Flight of Pigeons (Junoon) and Susanna's Seven Husbands (Saat Khoon Maaf) have also been made into Bollywood films.

Mio is in a foster home during the week, but he will be at our adoption center to meet you on Saturdays.
If you are interested in adopting him please see our "How to Adopt" section and come in to meet him on Saturday.
Mio is a flying dog that was observed flying through the air when his former owners threw him from their moving car. Luckily for Mio, a Good Samaritan witnessed the incident and rushed to Mio's aid. She took Mio to Paces Ferry Veterinary Clinic, where Dr. Merritt pronounced Mio to be healthy and unharmed by his horrible experience.
Mio's savior took him home and the entire family was immediately impressed by his loving nature and calm demeanor. He got along well with their cats and the other dog in the household. Mio loves to be held, walks nicely on leash and rides well in the car, they reported.
What my foster mom says about me:
Mio did nothing but sleep for a whole week when he first came to my home, but he has now recovered completely from his ordeal. He is a sensitive, sweet, playful, happy, and devoted friend. Mio is very low key in the house, quiet, and a perfect gentleman --- until the plush toys come out and then he's ready to wrestle and play! He is house-trained and trustworthy. He wants to be in the house and, as a Pekingese, also out of the heat with his thick coat. He even seems to enjoy having his face washed and his coat combed each day, knowing that you are caring for him.
Mio gets along just fine with my pack and has an increasing interest in playing tag and tug-of-war with anyone, dog or human, willing play. He has become great buddies with two of my boys --- a Pekingese and a Chihuahua. He enjoys their company and is content to be nearby chewing on his bone. He loves to be with his people at all times and adores going for walks or rides in the car. He would not do well with seniors or young children as he can be very mouthy when in play mode and is also an expert door-darter.
Mio is an absolute prince and in fact, I think of him as a Prince Charming. He is so well behaved and very smart -- he knows exactly what he wants. He endears himself every day by jumping up on the sofa and plopping across your lap for a snooze. He has moved his bed to be closer to my desk chair and he will even go to our bakers rack and bring you his leash when he's ready for a walk! Mio is a pleasure to have with us and we adore him. ~ Claire

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is widely recognized as providing an immense improvement to traditional development methods when it comes to complex or safety-relevant designs. Today, it is even used with document-centric approaches to fill in the gaps inherent in those methods.
With the advent of SysML, which is an offshoot of UML specifically adapted to systems engineering, development teams have a semantic-rich notation to build models that illustrate very different aspects of a system under development. It greatly assists in all sorts of analysis tasks.
SysML models contain so much information from so many different domains that it is a logical step to use this information to generate documents when they are required as part of the deliverables. This article focuses on using the combination of the ReporterPLUS feature with IBM® Rational® Rhapsody, along with Microsoft Word, to automate creation of human-readable documents from IBM Rational Rhapsody SysML models.
For background information on the use of document generation, see "A Modeling Approach to Document Generation" and "SysML models as a basis for automated document generation," which are both cited in the Resources section of this article.
Document generation techniques in detail
Document generation from a SysML model using the Rhapsody ReporterPLUS feature can be very straight-forward. The software already delivers some very useful templates. Simple new templates can be created easily in a visual manner by using the drag-and-drop method (for details, see Resources for a link to the online documentation). But, as always, the devil lies in the detail.
Simon Morrish already provided some very good tips regarding the work with ReporterPLUS in his presentation titled "Working with ReporterPLUS!" (see Resources). Systems developers who want more adapted templates will need to get acquainted with Q-Language, the underlying scripting language for ReporterPLUS (see the official documentation). This article goes into advanced topics regarding document generation aimed at creating more readable documents that extract the important information from a SysML model and put this information in the correct context.
Figure 1 shows the basic setup for document generation in the tool chain described in this article.
Figure 1. Tool chain setup
Some of the work of document generation is performed by ReporterPLUS in the .tpl file (ReporterPLUS template)/ This includes the whole work of information extraction from the SysML model and some formatting of the generated document. Another part of the work is performed by the .dot file (Microsoft Word template), which can do most of the formatting and even some of the more advanced transformations of the text through Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros. The result of this highly configurable process is, ideally, a very readable document that is well adapted to the needs of the target audience.
The aim of the setup that this article describes is to generate a document with these characteristics:
- Customized title page with some fields providing information extracted from the model
- Table of contents (a standard feature of ReporterPLUS that will be not further described in this article)
- Table of figures
- Use of rich text formatting in the Rhapsody model description fields throughout the document
- Attractive tables with adapted width and colored first row
- Suppression of model elements with specific stereotypes attached
- Documentation of model element interdependencies modeled as allocations
- A requirements traceability table showing all applicable requirements (only those linked to the model elements described by the document) hyperlinked to the corresponding model element description in the generated document.
But first the next section introduces some of the techniques used in the Rational Rhapsody ReporterPLUS feature.
Rhapsody ReporterPLUS techniques
In Rational Rhapsody, whenever a model element is created that the user does not intend to be part of the documentation, it needs a specific stereotype attached to it. If, for example, the model includes simulation-related elements that will not appear in the system documentation (because it will describe only the physical system), the user can include a stereotype called «
forSimulationOnly». In Rhapsody ReporterPLUS, you can include this constraint (also shown in the screenshot in Figure 2) in any loop where you want to prevent such model elements from appearing in the final document:
$name of [stereotypes]~<> "forSimulationOnly"
Figure 2. Omitting specific stereotypes
At different places in the document, description fields extracted from the SysML model are going to be inserted. They can have rich text formatting (RTF), which will not be automatically translated by Microsoft Word to the corresponding formatting. To translate this formatting code into actual bold, italics, font sizes, and other styles, you will need to use Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). To this end, the first step is to tag the RTF fields so that the VBA macros can find them later on:
- First, proceed by locating the RTF-formatted model elements in the tree structure for the document in ReporterPLUS. These elements are descriptions attached to model elements that are accessible through the
- In the body of the document section, precede this tag with
##BeginRTF##,and then put a
##EndRTF##after the description field.
Figure 3 shows how this looks in ReporterPLUS. Enclosing the tag like this will make it easier to find the RTF-formatted code using regular expressions in VBA.
Figure 3. Tagging RTF Heading and Body fields
In a similar way, you can indicate the place where you want to have the table of figures by using this markup:
For the figure captions, you can put the name of the diagram inside
##BeginFigureCaption## and
##EndFigureCaption## tags.
According to the requirements stipulated, the resulting document shall include hyperlinks from the requirements to the elements that they are allocated to. For that purpose, you can use Microsoft Word bookmarks. To make these bookmarks unique, take the GUID from the Rational Rhapsody model, which is unique inside a model.
The GUID is a further model property that is available in ReporterPLUS. In Q-Language, this is accessible as
«$GUID». To generate the bookmark, you will need to use the follwing code:
[BOOKMARK: name=(«$GUID»)]«$displayName» [CR]
Figure 4 shows the creation of these bookmarks in ReporterPLUS.
Figure 4. Creating bookmarks using GUIDs
In common systems engineering processes such as IBM® Harmony, T. Weilkien's SYSMOD, or S. Friedenthal's OOSEM, functions in a model are always allocated to physical blocks to indicate their expected behavior. In addition to this allocation between SysML activities and blocks, you use special allocations between activities and states, stereotyped as
«validInState», to create a bridge between the activities and the state or mode of operation where they are expected to be performed. We show this relationship in the documentation in the form, as shown in Figure 5 (columns for "Function Name" and "Available in States/Modes").
Figure 5. The allocation of activities to blocks and states in the generated document
In order to achieve this, a somewhat more complex construct is required. This is the procedure:
- Iterate over blocks.
- Iterate over the association "references" with this condition:
$name = $name of [dependsOn]
- The activity name is output though:
«$displayName of [owner]»
- Iterate over the "dependency" class with this condition:
$metaClass of [dependsOn] = "State" and (for_all x in [dependsOn]->[stereotypes] =>$name of x = "validInState")
This will look for all dependencies that have a «validInState» stereotype and are linked to states.
- The state name is output through:
«$displayName of [dependsOn]»
Figure 6 shows the corresponding node structure in the ReporterPLUS template.
Figure 6. Allocating activities to blocks and states, template node structure
Finally, you need to have hyperlinks from the requirements to the elements that they are allocated to. You have already seen how the GUIDs for the different elements in the model have been used to create the bookmarks. The hyperlinks are created by using the following command in ReporterPLUS:
[LINK: text=("some text"), bookmark=(someBookmark)]
Now you need to iterate only over all requirements, see whether they are allocated to model elements, and find this element's GUID:
- Iterate over the Requirement class.
- Iterate over class the Class class, with this condition:
<Specific Object>filter { ($name of [dependsOn] ~= $name of this) } over all "Dependency"
Look for all elements in the model with a dependency on this requirement.
- Create a hyperlink using
«$name of [dependent]»as the text and
«$GUID of [dependent]»as the bookmark.
Rational Rhapsody ReporterPLUS can do basic formatting in the sense of font styles (bold, italic, underline). It can also create bookmarks and links to them. It cannot do more advanced table formatting (width, cell colors, and so forth) to create figure and table captions or to interpret rich text format. The section that follows, "Formatting with Microsoft Word and VBA macros," covers, in detail, the steps required to overcome these limitations.
Formatting with Microsoft Word and VBA macros
The Microsoft Word template will handle some reformatting of the document. To make the process automatic, the corresponding procedures are called in the AutoOpen() macro of the document. This is a special macro that is automatically called upon opening the document.
- In order to create the AutoOpen() macro, you will need to press Alt-F11 in Microsoft Word to access the VBA environment, and then create a module.
- In that module, write a procedure called
- In that procedure you can enter your custom formatting code.
You can find more information on the AutoOpen() macro on the Microsoft Support website (see Resources).
The problem with simply using AutoOpen() is that all reformatting is performed every time that the document is opened, as opposed to only the first time. To prevent this, define (in the template) a Boolean document property called "FormattingPerformed" set to false. The AutoOpen() macro checks this property. If it is false, it performs all formatting operations and then sets it to true. If the property is true, then the formatting has already been performed and the AutoOpen() terminates.
Create figure captions
The next step is to create captions for all of the figures in the document. The macro searches for all instances of
##BeginFigureCaption## and
##EndFigureCaption##, removes these tags, and puts the text in between these tags in a figure caption, using the InsertCaption VBA method. This article does not go into implementation details for these macros, please refer to the basic VBA literature.
After the captions are created, you can let Microsoft Word generate a Table of Figures. Look for the
##InsertTOF## tag, remove it, and at that same place in the document, execute the following VBA code:
ActiveDocument.TablesOfFigures.Add Caption:="Figure"
Format tables
To format tables:
- Define a new table style with shading of the first row.
- Apply the style to each table in the document.
- Then set the
wdAutoFitContentproperty and change border styles to fit the desired appearance (see Figure 5).
Next, you need to tackle the task of replacing the RTF formatting commands included by ReporterPLUS as clear text with correctly formatted text. To achieve this, you can use the method described in the Microsoft Help and online Support: How to paste a Rich Text Format string into Word with Visual Basic Automation (see Resources for a link). The method basically requires the RTF text to be explicitly copied to the clipboard as RTF text:
lRTF = RegisterClipboardFormat("Rich Text Format")
Then you copy it from the clipboard and paste it back into the document. Because this requires access to Microsoft Windows DLL files that are normally not directly available for VBA macros, you will need some additional code. For details, see the same Microsoft Support document mentioned previously.
As this article has explained, you can use the Rational Rhapsody ReporterPLUS feature (which is highly configurable, using Q Language) and the flexibility available for document manipulation through VBA to customize document generation from IBM Rational Rhapsody SysML models. With these tools, you can truly suit the needs of your target audience.

Shiraz has a reputation as an enlightened city that has been at the centre of Persian culture for more than 2,000 years, and was at one time the country's capital. It was the hometown of the most famous Iranian poet Hafez, and each year huge numbers of Iranians still make a pilgrimage to Shiraz to visit his mausoleum. Shiraz is also renowned for it's parks and green space, and of course the variety of grape that was taken back to Europe centuries ago and is now made into the famous Shiraz red wine. Our main reason for coming to Shiraz however wasn't actually Shiraz at all, but the Achaemenid ruins at Persepolis, 42km to the north-east of the city.
Persepolis was founded in 518 BC by Cyrus the Great's grandson, Darius I. Cyrus had already built an impressive capital 50km further up the road at Pasargadae, but upon taking the throne Darius obviously felt the need to carve out his own niche in the world of palace building, so construction of Persepolis was started
Our driver, who had lived for many years in Wellington before returning to Iran, guided us around the site for 3 hours, explaining the relevance of the ruins and relics that Sim and I were busily photographing. Although much of the structure was in ruins, enough remained (or had been restored) for us to get a real sense of the grandeur the city must have had in the time of Darius I, almost 2,500 years ago. While much of what we'd seen since arriving in Iran had been brand new to us, many of the stone reliefs and statues found in Persepolis we had seen before, in books or online. Seeing these incredible slices of history right before our eyes, literally within touching distance, was another pinch yourself moment for a history nerd like me
After we had completed our tour of Persepolis we drove out to the rock tombs of several of the Achaemenid kings at Naqsh-e Rostam. These tombs are cut into a cliff overlooking the same river valley as Persepolis does, and housed the remains of Darius I, Darius II and Xerxes I (the son of Darius I). As the Achaemenids were Zoroastrians the kings that were interred here had first undergone a sky burial, before their bones were brought to the rock tombs. The site felt a lot like a side-street in Petra, and were similar to the tombs there in terms of size and complexity, if not in total number. Each tomb had a cruciform design, which is believed to have represented the 4 cardinal points.
Although Shiraz has a reputation as a cultural centre we found it felt like a young city on the make; some of the old romance had given way to modern commercialism, and many of the locals on the main street, while remaining unfailingly courteous, had a Persian Delboy Trotter air about them.
Our first full day was spent touring the city itself, looking over the citadel, mosques and medressas. The Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque in particular was stunning, with the evening light streaming in through the stained-glass windows to light up the prayer space within
From our apartment (our hotel had been full so had kindly put us into a nearby apartment at no extra cost) we grabbed a cab to Eram Gardens (Paradise Gardens in Farsi). Shiraz is also known as a city of green space and public gardens, and Eram Garden was said to be the pick of the bunch. The gardens themselves are maintained by the local university botany department, and from what we could see these must have been all straight A students. The garden was a good mix of local and exotic species, and was a great place to while away a couple of hours, away from the heat and the mid-city rush.
That night we went for a wander in the Shiraz bazaar, soaking up the sights and sounds of the stalls as locals and tourists alike haggled over goods or simply passed the time of day
We both knew another carpet was the last thing we needed (especially with a 7am flight to Tehran booked for the next day), but we also knew we'd regret not buying it once we got back to the land of the vastly marked-up Persian carpet (i.e. anywhere outside of Iran). We had a quick team-talk and decided that we would take the carpet and work out how to post it home later (not to mention get it onto the plane to Tehran the next morning). By the time we walked out of the bazaar, with our Persian carpet buying radars once again in standby mode, we were the proud owners of 5 Persian carpets and 4 squab covers.

Oprah, move over. Carrie Ann Inaba is now joining the ranks of Broadway producer, too.
The Dancing with the Stars judge has signed on as a name above the title of the Latin and ballroom dance spectacular Burn the Floor, which for the first three weeks of its 12-week run will guest star DWTS's Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff in their Broadway debuts.
"I'm thrilled to get my feet wet on Broadway with this wonderful production," Inaba said in a statement Monday. "I've been a fan of Burn the Floor since its inception, and I am honored to be a part of the creative team that is bringing this wonderful show to Broadway."
Conceived, directed, and choreographed by Jason Gilkison, former World Champion Latin and Ballroom dancer and guest choreographer on the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance, Burn the Floor was created as a special performance at Sir Elton John's 50th birthday in 1997. The stage version made its world premiere in the U.K. in 1999.
Broadway previews begin at the Longacre Theatre this Saturday in anticipation of an Aug. 2 opening.
