So what is the criterion now: time-serving, extraordinary service, or just serving Mr Major? I note that the hoteliers who put Mr and Mrs Major up earlier this year have been awarded MBEs. Does this mean that I can now nominate the charming couple who looked after me and my family in Broadstairs last year? And can we now look forward to awards for the Major milkman, postman, baker and candlestick maker? And how many more of Mr Major's sporting heroes can we expect to see honoured? Such kingly behaviour from such an unexpected quarter]
No, this list is a perfect example of the lack of consistency and thorough thought which characterises our present Prime Minister and his administration. It is not classless. And it is not classy, either. Jimmy Tarbuck? Shirley Bassey? Where are the inspired awards to people who have inspired us during the past year, such as Sally Becker? Another fine Major mess, I'm afraid.

The hotel flourished until the beginning of World War II. It has now been rebuilt and the rooms decorated in a professional yet discrete manner, giving it a fantastic homely feel. Today's guests at this 20-room hotel can enjoy the inimitable atmosphere and interior design as well as facilities which include a lobby area with a 24-hour reception, a hotel safe, a bar, a restaurant and a laundry service.

Situated to the south of Wawel Castle, among a maze of streets and houses, it is like stepping back in time.

Jonny thought he was dreaming so he pinch himself to see if he'd wake up. No, it was not a dream. He was still not able to see anything but strangely, he could feel he was sitting on a chair and his arms were resting on his desk. The pen was still in his hand.
Out of the blackness, shiny golden rays of light glimmer from the magic pen. The light streamed into words that read:
Welcome to the world of imagination. Here you can find an illusion of independence from all the constraints of society and known physical laws of the real universe. To start, relieve yourself of the fear of not knowing where to go. Creating things from the void can be quite challenging. Sometime you might find yourself lost in some rabbit hole. Other time you might find yourself in the midst of foreign lands with unfamiliar characters. Rest assure all is safe for it is all an illusion. To resume the real world, just say "Arbadacarba".
"Arbadacarba!", Jonny said without hesitation. The blackness unrolled from the corner of his eyes toward the center of his vision, revealing the white page and the pen infront of him. He looked around and his room was still in tact. He checked his phone and it was 2pm. He has been sitting at his desk for ten minutes.
Sarah did not respond to his last text yet. He thought for a few seconds whether to call her to share what had just happened. But then, who talk on the phone now aday. He wrote to her instead to ask about the pen, particularly what is it and where did she get it from.
The afternoon was still dull, the rain has reduced to drizzle. Jonny stood at his window to look out into the cityscape. The Seattle skyline bobbed up and down against the overcast, as if it tries to rip holes into the cloud to get some sunlight. He stared blankly for a while and then turning to look at the pen. The thought of picking it up to try once more crossed his mind but he wasn't sure he has the gut for it.

Tales of War: Expanded Edition
€ 28,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Oktober 2002
Beschreibung"Tales of War" is a melancholy, atypical, and occasionally surprising book by the author of The Gods of Pegana and The King of Elfland's Daughter. It was written for a political rather than artistic purpose, but because it was painfully inspired from life (and death) and because it is written by a great writer, it is far more than just a curio. It also crosses more than once into the fantastic realm, which is partly why it is of interest to readers of Dunsany's classic fantasy works. This special edition adds two previously uncollected stories: "One More Tale" and "La Derniere Mobilisation," plus a new introduction written especially for this volume by Dunsany scholar Darrell Schweitzer.

Not sure how that is worth it to avoid them flogging a car that is meant to be flogged. Like I said above, nobody could thrash my car harder than I do-I thrash the living hell out of it and it runs perfectly. Only guidelines I follow is I always wait until temps are up to the middle of the guage or so before stepping on it. Besides that its a no holds barred thrash fest.
Given bmw limits revs to 5500 when cold, really damage done even if trying to flog it when cold is limited.
I see this being good for valet at dinner or something but that would require a quick flip option.
I would do it for a dealer trip. Why? Because they abuse your car. I've seen this in front of my eyes over twenty times.
Dealers rarely notice things like this, and to me it doesn't matter even if they see it. The key is to have a realationship with your service advisor/tech. After that's established there's no need to worry about them flagging your car. I set most of my local customers up with my SA and tech to make sure they are always taken care of. Regardless, out of every car I have tuned I have NEVER heard of a SINGLE warranty denial ever. In fact, never heard of denial from anyones tune really, other than a gentleman in Singapore who blew his motor and would not disclose who the tuner was.
One of my friends about three years ago had a 335 and asked me for a 17PSI file. I told him it would blow his turbos eventually especially the way he drove. He said he wanted it anyway. Boy.. that was one fast 335i.
At 49,500 miles the turbos were replaced under warranty at a random dealer without any issues. Even took the car in with the tune and they gave it back with the tune.
Stock cold rev limit is based on coolant temp, and usually the cars will have a rev limit of 6500 RPM on starting. When you start the car, oil temps are probably between 50 and 70F. Taking a car to 6,500 RPM with oil temps that low would be serious abuse. This is why we limit it to 4,500 in our tune (and release it more slowly) in the tune. To be honest, I would have limited it even lower, but the instrument cluster manufacturer didn't paint the wheel red far enough, so if you reduce it lower than 4,500 (which is totally possible), you'll have the silver color up by the redline instead of red. Damage might be 'limited' to an extent, but it's enough to wear the motor prematurely for sure.
Not sure why you wait until the needle is dead center, that's also not necessary. You can flog it before that and the oil will be at an acceptable viscosity level even before 210F.

Piggybacks are not real 'tunes' and in my opinion is more of a hack than anything else. I would never run one on my personal car. You're limited to an extent when using them. They 'trick' the stock ECU instead of doing the right thing. Of course map switching is going to be easier with them because they aren't switching anything in the DME at all, they are just tricking the DME in a different manner to achieve the desired result. They are prone to fault codes and other issues, and go against the cars overall well being IMO.
As I said, I made this because many people requested this. It's not instantly switchable at this point, but it still serves a very valid purposes in many cases. Five minutes to flash is really not that bad. I have some ideas for how to make this more easily switchable in the future, but for now I think this is a good start. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Roger Nevola of the law firm of Vinson and Elkins, legal counsel for the suit, joined the board during its June 5 discussion. About a month ago, the GBRA board unanimously decided to intervene as a party in support of a lawsuit then anticipated by the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club to protect spring flows and endangered species that live in the Comal and San Marcos springs. The Sierra Club filed their suit May 17 before Chief U.S. District Judge Lucius Bunion. The suit claims that the U.S. Department of the Interior, through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has failed to protect certain threatened plant and animal species that live only rn the two springs. The suit claims that by allowing continued overpumping of the Edwards Aquifer, whose natural outlets are the Comal and San Marcos springs, the service has allowed the species to be harmed and could cause their cxuncuon. Known threatened and endangered species that live rn the springs include the San Marcos ganibusia, the fountain darter, the San Marcos salamander and Texas wild rice. Conxidcrauon for filing the suit was heightened after rejection by the City of San Antonio of plans for an altemauve supplemental water supply. County favors radio improvements By GREG MEFFORD Spacial to th* Harald-Zaltung Comal County officials approved recommendations for radio transmission improvements from Sheriff Jack Bremer Thursday, a move that the law enforcement official predicts will bring the county up to $12,000 in savings. In his presentation to the commissioner's court, Bremer said he considered an ofTer from Motolola as the "best fix" of three bids submitted for the enhancement of the county's radio broadcast system. Acceptance of the sheriff's recommendation was made in a motion from Commissioner Neil Craigmile, and seconded by Commissioner Moe Schwab. The court unanimously approved the measure. "Motorola was really the only bidder that covered all of the criteria." Bremer said. "When they installed the system we're on now, there were some dead spots. "I think from what we kind can find out about it, they'll pretty much solve our problem," Bremer said. The department's main concern has been centered on communication problems with outlying areas of the county and an 11-mile portion of River Road, which historically is the sue of a high number of assaults and disturbances during summer months, Bremer said. Following Motorola's proposal, Bremer said the department will contract with the company for services which include the relocation of antennas to different broadcast towers, the installation of in-line amplifiers and recalibrating existing broadcast equipment. "We're pretty sure this (proposal) will enhance our system and give us some coverage, Bremer said. Phase one of the Motorola plan, estimated at a cost of $25,568, will entail the relocation of a mutual-aide antenna to the top of Start/ Hill, Bremer said.

Miami Heat Flash Immense Upside and Other Friday NBA TakeawaysJanuary 2, 2016
The Miami Heat have forced their fans to endure a roller-coaster ride this season. Some nights, they've dominated the opposition, showing what made them a preseason candidate to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers for Eastern Conference supremacy. Other times, the pieces haven't mixed together, leading the team to endure a seemingly inexplicable loss.
Friday night fit into the former category, as the Heat trounced the Dallas Mavericks 106-82 to improve to 19-13 on the year. Whether the two-way success lasts is a question for another time, but the dominant showing did put on display exactly what this squad can accomplish on any given night.
Almost across the board, the important pieces excelled.
Luol Deng didn't contribute much, but he did drain one big first-quarter triple off a Goran Dragic feed that helped spark a massive Miami run. Chris Bosh was uncharacteristically uninvolved, but it's not like the team needed much more than his 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
And that's where the qualifiers end.
Dwyane Wade began the night on the bench, fighting off an illness that left him unsure he'd make it onto the court. He eventually did play, and his 2016 debut came midway through the second quarter to the tune of raucous cheers from the partisan crowd at AmericanAirlines Arena. From that point forward, he made his impact felt whenever he wasn't wearing warm-ups.
The 2-guard finished with 10 points, two rebounds and seven assists, and it's hard to tell when he was most impressive. Was it during that second period, when he managed to record five dimes? Was it during the third quarter, when he was drilling turnaround jumpers, such as the one below, and torturing the overmatched Mavericks defense?
But despite the highlight-worthy nature of his play, Wade still wasn't the most impressive member of the Miami backcourt.
"We had to get him going," Chris Bosh told Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley at the end of 2015 about Goran Dragic, who had struggled tremendously throughout the opening salvo of his first full season in a Heat uniform. "[Playing faster] was a huge, huge part of it. We had to kind of take the shackles off him a little bit."
The shackles were fully removed Friday night.
Dragic was in constant attack mode, finishing at the rim like he was in the middle of his breakthrough 2013-14 campaign with the Phoenix Suns. He wound up recording 15 points, four rebounds, seven assists and three steals, but the numbers weren't nearly as important as the feel. For the first time in a while, it felt like he was in full control of the Miami offense, refusing to turn the ball over as he made things happen for both himself and his teammates.
Could this be what sparks a turnaround in his trajectory with the Heat?
Based on total points added (TPA, which is explained in full throughout this article), he's been on a constant decline since his fantastic season in the desert, struggling to fit in with his new squad:
This season's mark is admittedly prorated to a full year, but there's still plenty of time to get his game trending in the right direction. If he continues to handle the ball like he did against the Mavs—preferably without picking up his dribble against double-teams quite as often—he might soon break back into the positives.
However, Miami's success went beyond the backcourt. Glossing over the important contributions from Gerald Green (19 points off the bench, thanks to an 8-of-13 shooting performance), we have to give some love to Hassan Whiteside. After all, he did a lot to improve his All-Star ratings:
FOX Sports Florida @FOXSportsFL
.@youngwhiteside has some good quotes to go along with a big double-double. https://t.co/izK4KAsOao1/2/2016, 3:16:21 AM
Dallas never figured out an answer for the physical center who ended up posting 25 points and 19 rebounds. Instead, it was thoroughly destroyed by his presence on both ends.
In the first half, Whiteside was a defensive machine. Even without blocking a single shot, he managed to keep nearly every Maverick out of the paint, altering shots and forcing the opposition to settle for heavily contested perimeter jumpers. He looked more comfortable stepping away from the paint and wasn't goaded into any ill-advised rejection attempts—something that has kept him from living up to his full potential in the past.
And even still, he was more impressive on offense.
Displaying perfect timing and soft hands in pick-and-roll situations, Whiteside managed to produce thunderous dunks like the one below, which served as the capstone on his 18-point, 13-rebound first half:
But Whiteside didn't just feast on easy slams. Instead, he gave the Mavericks fits with his deft moves on the blocks and his surprising success on mid-range jumpers.
NBA.com's statistical databases reveal that Whiteside entered the Heat's victory over Dallas scoring just 0.67 points per possession in post-up situations, which left him in the 15.8 percentile. But you wouldn't know it on Friday night, as he dazzled opponents with jump-hooks and quick feet that allowed him to make multiple moves in quick succession.
Additionally, the big man was shooting only 30.4 percent from 10 to 16 feet and 25 percent from between 16 feet and the three-point arc before this contest. But that wasn't the case in the first quarter, when he drained a 15-footer and an 18-footer on back-to-back possessions:
Miami HEAT @MiamiHEAT
Hassan Whiteside getting it done from long-range tonight! #NBAVote (Fox Sports Sun) https://t.co/ZnbWzzBWGF1/2/2016, 1:10:16 AM
If the Heat are to realize the full extent of what they can do on offense, Whiteside must build upon this performance. Talented as he may be, his presence can be detrimental when he clogs the paint. Throw in a few post-up buckets while draining some jumpers, and that quickly changes.
This 24-point win may only be a blip on the radar. It may be a precursor to another losing streak as the Heat continue to play frustratingly inconsistent basketball.
All the same, it confirms what we already should've known: When everything is clicking in Miami, this is a deadly bunch.
Washington Wizards Overcome Tough Orlando Magic Defense
The Orlando Magic have not been particularly easy to score on this season, shutting down opponents to the tune of a 102.5 defensive rating that leaves them behind only seven other teams. But after showcasing their dominance in late November and early December, things have gone a bit awry.
Early in the Washington Wizards' 103-91 victory to open the new year, it appeared as if the Magic were reverting back to their deadly tricks on defense. The Wizards could only muster up 24 points in front of their hometown faithful during the first quarter, then 24 during the second...and another 24 throughout the third.
However, they broke the tie during the final period, exploding for a 31-spot that left them with plenty of breathing room as the clock ticked down toward triple zeroes. And though Otto Porter submitted a fantastic line (20 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals), it was John Wall who led the charge, using his speed to act like a blur against the Magic defense.
When this dynamic point guard is feeling it, no defender can stay in front of him. Put a plodding center in his way, and the results are either going to be pretty if you're a Washington fan, or ugly if you're not.
You have to feel a bit for Nikola Vucevic here:
When the final buzzer sounded, Wall had recorded a gaudy line of his own: 24 points (on 10-of-19 shooting from the field), two boards, 13 assists, two steals and a block. Despite his perimeter jumper letting him down, he still tortured the Orlando backcourt while continuing to rebound from his tough start to the year.
Ever since the calendars flipped to December, Wall has been much more, well, Wall-like. ESPN Stats & Info provided more details:
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo
John Wall: 8 straight games with double-digit assists Since Dec. 1: 22.6 PPG, 11.8 APG Before Dec. 1: 16.1 PPG, 7.6 APG1/2/2016, 2:14:33 AM
This is the version of the point guard the Wizards desperately need as they fight through Bradley Beal's prolonged absence in a tight Eastern race. They need the floor general who can call his own number but still keep his head up and look for the kick-out passes that so often hit teammates right between the numbers.
Basically, they need the MVP-caliber version of Wall, which they got when it counted Friday night.
If he keeps this up, Washington, now 15-16 on the season, won't spend much more time below .500.
The Kyle Lowry Takeover Tour Continues
Before leading the charge in a come-from-behind victory over the Charlotte Hornets, Kyle Lowry was already in the middle of a special season. Driven by his svelte frame and quicker first step, he's made a legitimate case for receiving some Most Improved Player consideration, and that's despite already playing at a high level in 2014-15.
According to Basketball-Reference.com's MVP Award Tracker, which is based on historical results and current statistics, he has the ninth-best odds to win the league's most prestigious individual award, trailing only Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, LeBron James, Blake Griffin and James Harden.
Through Friday night's first three quarters in Air Canada Centre, that wasn't believable.
Lowry couldn't help the Toronto Raptors avoid an eight-point deficit, and he recorded only eight points on 3-of-10 shooting to go along with his four rebounds and eight assists. His jumper had gone missing, and he'd failed to leave the same imprint on the contest that has become customary in 2015-16.
However, that quickly changed.
Lowry exploded for 10 points, one rebound, three assists and a steal during the final 12 minutes, knocking down three of his six attempts from the field—including a 2-of-3 showing from downtown—and helping his Raptors outscore the Hornets 30-12.
It was the point guard who scored five points in a row after the game was knotted up at 84. And it was Lowry contributing three points—which would prove to be the decisive ones—and an assist to break a subsequent tie at 94. Then, to seal the deal, he came up with the crucial theft:
Raptors Republic @raptorsrepublic
Kyle Lowry with the defensive play that ices the game. #NBAVote https://t.co/IowmaubM2g1/2/2016, 2:47:53 AM
Lowry may not have produced a final line that will help him move up in the race for MVP. But even more importantly, he came through when it mattered most, helping the Raptors keep pace with the ridiculous number of teams competing for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Los Angeles Lakers Win, Because Somebody Had to Win
If you wanted to watch a good basketball game, the 93-84 battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers probably wasn't a pressing priority. At various points, the putridity of both pushovers gave the illusion of it being a competitive contest, but this was an NBA game mostly because humans dribbled an orange sphere up and down a court while a shot clock ticked down from 24 seconds.
No one should have held high expectations, given the ignominious record they almost set heading into the contest:
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo
76ers (3-31), Lakers (6-27) have combined .134 win pct, 3rd-lowest entering any game in NBA history (min. 30 games each) - via @EliasSports1/2/2016, 12:30:08 AM
Still, the Lakers get credit for winning by a solid amount after pulling away during the fourth quarter. They managed to keep the Sixers from knocking down a ridiculous number of wide-open jumpers, so in that sense, they "held" them to 36.9 percent shooting on the night.
By comparison, their 37.9 percent clip seems...incredible? Impressive? Let's just go with: better.
To be fair, there were some highlights.
For example, we had scrappy hustle plays from Nerlens Noel:
Perhaps even more impressively, D'Angelo Russell paid homage to the Showtime Lakers with a no-look transition feed to Julius Randle:
Bleacher Report @BleacherReport
Lakers take us back to the showtime era! #LakeShow https://t.co/spH46K2kH91/2/2016, 5:46:46 AM
Lou Williams, Randle and Larry Nance Jr. all deserve credit for putting together solid outings, but the truly notable aspect here involves the Lakers as a whole. They've now won back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 25 and Feb. 27, when they beat the Utah Jazz and Milwaukee Bucks.
Of course, we'd also be pointing out that such a streak ended if the Sixers had emerged victoriously. Their dry spell continues now that they blew a chance to win two straight for the first time since March 18 and March 20.
In a season that's seen losses pile up so quickly for Los Angeles, it's the little things that count.
Improving Player of the Night: Bobby Portis
The incumbent bigs in Chicago have to be holding their collective breath, awaiting their fates as Bobby Portis continues to carve out a larger role in the rotation. Increased playing time certainly hasn't been an issue for the rookie, who put together another stellar performance Friday night in a 108-81 victory over the New York Knicks.
Ever since Christmas Day, he's just gotten better and better:
"With [Pau] Gasol, [Joakim] Noah, Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic all factoring into the equation, the Bulls may have viewed the 20-year-old Portis as a long-term investment," Buckley wrote for Bleacher Report in December while calling Portis one of the unheralded players who will have a monster 2016. "But he's proving he can be both their present and future."
Now that he's moved into the rotation, he apparently isn't dropping out anytime soon. Per Nick Friedell of ESPNChicago.com, Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg won't be taking away the recently earned minutes:
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Hoiberg says Portis has earned his spot in the rotation moving forward. He's not going anywhere.1/2/2016, 3:32:19 AM
Nor should he.
While thriving on the glass, Portis has shown every offensive tool the Bulls could possibly want. Against the Knicks, he flaunted them again, finishing around the rim with aplomb, knocking down mid-range jumpers and thriving in the post.
Scarily enough, this is only the beginning for the 20-year-old power forward.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On August 12 2009 at approximately 9:20 p.m., after having arrived at San Diego, California airport on a flight from New York City, I made a phone call from a pay phone at San Diego airport using my debit card. This is because I did not have my cell phone with me.
I placed a call to my husband and spoke to him for less than 2 minutes to notify him of my arrival. When I checked my bank account for the cost of the call, I noticed I was billed for $47.10! by a company called BBG Luxembourg Lux.
On further investigating, I realized this was the bill for my phone call. I was absolutely stunned! I subsequently googled the company online, and saw that there were numerous reports about this company overcharging people for phone calls. San Diego was particularly noted.

Milwaukee Heart Institute, Milwaukee, WI
To ascertain whether atriomyoplasty, using the diaphragmatic muscle flap as the front wall of the atrio-pulmonary tunnel, results in successful Fontan repair.
Fontan operation, was performed on four adult mongrel dogs. Autological biological valves were created in the superior and inferior vena cava openings. The tendinous-muscle flap of the diaphragm, along with the diaphragmatic nerve, was inserted as the front wall of the atrio-pulmonary tunnel. The flap was either directly inserted into the circulatory system (2 cases) or applied externally onto the atrium wall (2 cases) and was stimulated through the diaphragmatic nerve with 7 burst impulses, at 6 volts each. Ventricular flap contraction was synchronized with contraction of the atrium.
Immediately after the operation, a sharp decrease was registered in cardiac output (2–2.5 L/min), arterial pressure (60–70 mmHg), pulmonary pressure (12–15 mmHg) and capillary saturation (SO2 <60–65. Central vein pressure increased (13–15 mmHg). Signs of right heart failure disappeared after beginning diaphragmatic flap stimulation. Before diaphragmatic flap stimulation began, pressure in the created neo chamber or right atrium was between 10/0–12/2 mmHg. Following initiation of flap stimulation, pressure in the neo chamber or right atrium was tracked for 3 hours and registered between 25/1–35/3 mmHg. Central vein pressure ranged from 6–7.6 mmHg and arterial pressure from 100/50–120/70 mmHg. The created autological valves functioned quite adequately with good locking function. Intraoperative echocardiogram measured blood flow through the caval veins at 8-12 mm/sec and the pulmonary artery at 70–80 mm/sec. The gradient in the created valves did not exceed 1–2 mmHg.
The stimulated, diaphragmatic flap plays the part of the actively contracting heart wall adequately without preliminary training. Autobiological valves, created in caval vein openings, perform the locking function properly, maintaining an adequate pressure level in the neo chamber or right atrium, comparable to the pressure in the right ventricle.
This new variant of the Fontan procedure could be used in the repair of several complex congenital cardiac defects.

UPDATE 1-Bleak outlook sparks frenzied dealmaking in nitrogen fertilizer market
(Adds link to factbox)
By Rod Nickel
Aug 13 (Reuters) - Sinking crop prices and frenzied output growth by nitrogen fertilizer producers have sparked nearly $10 billion worth of deals in the fragmented sector and signal more consolidation may be ahead in the largest of three crop nutrient markets.
Illinois-based CF Industries Holdings Inc, the world's third-largest nitrogen fertilizer producer, was involved in three of four deals in the past month, taking out two potential competitors in its backyard and locking up sales volumes in the United States, the world's No. 1 corn-producing country.
"What CF is doing is classic corporate self-preservation in a world where there are well-financed people trying to get into their core Midwest and U.S. Gulf Coast nitrogen market," said Chris Damas, editor of the BCMI Report on markets.
Unlike in the potash and phosphate industries dominated by a few players, the top 20 nitrogen companies account for just over one-third of global supply, according to consultancy CRU Group. CF's share is less than 4 percent, it said.
On Wednesday farmer co-operative CHS Inc ditched plans to spend $3 billion building a plant in North Dakota and agreed instead to pay $2.8 billion for a stake in CF's nitrogen fertilizer unit, while securing a supply deal. Continued...

New Delhi, Jan 16: Justice Vikramjit Sen can continue to head the panel probing sexual harassment charges against a Madhya Pradesh High Court judge despite his retirement from the Supreme Court, but the Rajya Sabha Chairman is free to replace him, the Attorney General has said.
In an opinion tendered to the Rajya Sabha secretariat, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi has said Justice Vikramjit Sen can continue to head the three-member panel to probe charges of sexual harassment against Madhya Pradesh High Court judge Justice S K Gangele and complete the probe as soon as possible.
The Rajya Sabha secretariat had asked the Law Ministry whether Justice Sen, a sitting Supreme Court judge when he was appointed the chief of the panel in April last year, can continue to head it despite his retirement on December 31, 2015.
The Ministry was also asked if another sitting SC judge is appointed in place of Justice Sen, will the panel start its investigation afresh or continue from where the Sen panel had left.
Referring to views in some quarters of the Law Ministry that a new presiding officer be appointed following retirement of Justice Sen, the AG said the Rajya Sabha Chairman can also nominate another sitting judge of the Supreme Court in his place.
He said the probe by the committee could recommence from the stage it was on December 31 when Justice Sen retired.
The top law officer has opined both the options would be valid. Rohatgi said the Judges Inquiry Act, 1968 is silent on whether a judge can continue on an investigation panel after his or her retirement.
In April last year, Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari had set up the three-member panel to investigate sexual harassment charges against Justice Gangele. Besides Justice Sen, other members of the committee are Justice Manjula Chellur, Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court, and jurist K K Venugopal.

By going ahead with the September 25 referendum on when to celebrate national day, the president of Republika Srpska, the Serb half of the divided Bosnia & Hercegovina nation, was testing the response of the central authorities and the international community. It is now up to them to decide how to react to the troublesome leader Milorad Dodik, whose next move, including a possible vote to secede from Bosnia, will depend on what actions are taken.
The dust is still settling in Bosnia after the referendum, where a startlingly 99.8% of voters backed a proposal to make January 9 the official Republic Day holiday – a result mostly explained by the decision of the entity's small Bosniak population to boycott the vote. The Bosnian Constitutional Court had ruled in 2015 that the Republic Day holiday was unconstitutional because it discriminated against non-Serbs, and the court also banned the referendum.
This open defiance of the country's top court can partly be explained by Dodik's need to position himself as a nationalist; his once relatively moderate Party of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) has already overtaken the Serb Democratic Party (SDS) and is now seen as the hardline Serb nationalist political force in the Republika Srpska. In Bosnia's current political climate, most parties see their best chances of electoral success in appealing to nationalist sentiment and stoking fears over the other main ethnic groups – the Croats and Muslim Bosniaks.
The referendum was seen as important because local elections will take place on October 2 and the SNSD had been lagging in the polls. Dodik and his party are now expected to gain a boost from the September 25 vote. The rival SDS, rather than the SNSD, is also part of the national-level ruling coalition in Sarajevo, which has encouraged Dodik to be increasingly uncooperative with the central government and Bosnia's other entity, the Muslim-Croat Federation, as a bargaining tool to increase his influence over national events.
This has been seen many times in the past, for example when Dodik delayed signing amendments to Bosnia's Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the EU earlier this year, thereby delaying approval of Bosnia's EU membership application.
Dodik also has a personal political agenda, in that he's trying to deflect attention away from a corruption scandal concerning his purchase of a luxury villa in Belgrade back in 2007. National-level prosecutors are reportedly investigating Dodik's purchase of the €1.26mn villa in the swanky neighbourhood of Dedinje. He is believed to have paid for it in full – raising questions about where the money came from – but to have arranged a fake loan from local Pavlovic Banka the following year in an attempt to conceal this. Pavlovic is one of several banks in Republika Srpska that are being investigated in separate corruption probes.
"Dodik is continuing on his path of provoking conflict with the Bosnian state and international community in order to whip up nationalist feelings and cement his position," Marko Attila Hoare, historian and associate professor at the UK's Kingston University, tells bne IntelliNews. "Without the nationalist upswell, his leadership would be in trouble."
Testing the boundaries
But Dodik's motives go beyond short-term political gain, and are likely to have longer-term consequences, as he is not expected to stop with the Republic Day referendum.
"Dodik's popularity has increased ahead of the local elections, when his party's popularity had been falling, so there was an immediate short-term impact. However, there are long-term and deeper implications beyond the elections," believes Cvete Koneska, an analyst at Control Risks. "This did not come out of the blue. Dodik has been testing how far he can go in denying the jurisdiction of the state level institutions in Republika Srpska. He has got away with a lot, but probably this was a step too far. This referendum was really about how the international community and Bosnian politicians will respond."
While both the High Representative in Sarajevo Valentin Inzko and top EU officials called on Dodik to drop plans for the referendum in the run-up to the vote, the international community has been relatively quiet in the last few days. Inzko said in a September 26 statement that he was disappointed by Dodik's decision to lead Republika Srpska and its people "away from reform and towards isolation", and stressed that the referendum represented a challenge to the Bosnian Constitutional Court, its decisions, the constitutional framework of the country, and the rule of law in Bosnia.
However, Inzko did not comment on possible future action by the Office of the High Representative (OHR). This could be a sign that the international community will leave it to the institutions in Sarajevo to deal with the fallout – a move in keeping with the less interventionist stance of international actors in Bosnia. In theory the OHR has the power to dismiss Dodik, but that is unlikely. "The days when the OHR could dismiss the head of Republika Srpska are over, so it's hard to say what they will actually do," notes Hoare, adding that the EU is "in a bad way" at the moment.
Referendum days
Koneska points out that the vote comes in the context of the increasing number of referendums across Europe. Even though the vote was illegal, the fact that the population has spoken carries weight, meaning those who want to bring Dodik to account will have to act with caution. "After Brexit, when the majority voted in a plebiscite, the result cannot be ignored even by those who don't like it," she says.
Bosniak politicians in Sarajevo have been more vocal in their criticism. Bakir Izetbegovic, the Bosniak member of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, slammed the referendum as a "notorious example of a violation" of the Dayton Agreement that ended the Bosnian War in 1995, and compared Dodik to former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Wartime Bosnian Muslim commander Sefer Halilovic took an even stronger stance in advance of the referendum, claiming it would unpack the Dayton peace deal and could lead to war.
Meanwhile, prosecutors in Sarajevo have started an investigation into the illegal referendum, and reportedly summoned Dodik, along with several others, for questioning.
Dodik, never one to take criticism lying down, hit back by saying he was planning to sue Izetbegovic and to challenge another holiday – the countrywide Bosnian Independence Day – through the Constitutional Court. He also used Izetbegovic's likening of him to Gaddafi (which the president later said was a mistake) as a pretext not to visit state prosecutors, claiming he "would not feel safe" going to the capital of Sarajevo.
Aside from the state-level politicians and the international community, Dodik's next steps will be telling. Having held his first referendum, the question now is whether – or perhaps how – he will push the situation further, possibly even by opting for the nuclear option of a referendum on Republika Srpska's secession from Bosnia. "If Dodik finds he can get away with [holding the Republic Day referendum], then the likelihood of a future referendum on secession is more likely," forecasts Koneska.
Having said that, there are those that argue his preeminent position in Republika Srpska within a Bosnia that is recognised and supported by international financial institutions serves Dodik better than if the entity breaks away to become either a tiny rogue state or part of a larger Serbia.
Serbia's stance was critical in the run-up to the referendum, with Aleksandar Vucic's government declining to back the referendum as it walks a tightrope between Belgrade's EU ambitions and the need not to alienate nationalist voters at home. Not so Russia, which refused to join fellow members of the Peace Implementation Council in appealing to Dodik to drop plans for the referendum. Dodik even visited Vladimir Putin a few days before the vote, though the Russian president stopped short of explicitly endorsing the referendum. However, as Dimitar Bechev, director of the European Policy Institute think tank in Sofia, points out, "For the first time Serbia and Russia were openly on opposite sides of the barricades."
Once it becomes clear what – if any – sanctions Republika Srpska will face over the September 25 referendum, gauging the response from both Belgrade and Moscow will be crucial when Dodik comes to deciding on his next steps. Serbia's restraint in the run-up to the election is an encouraging sign for the future stability of the region.
"It may not be in his interests to actually go for full independence – at least at this stage – but nevertheless the question is whether his actions will create a momentum he will then find difficult to stop," warns Hoare. "The referendum is just another step in Dodik's calculated provocations… I don't see this as the decisive turning point, but if it does come to a point where he declares independence or things turn violent, then there will be grave international repercussions."
