MEXICO CITY More than 800 federal and local police have been assigned to improve security in and around Mexico City's international airport after a series of armed robberies against travelers who exchanged money there, authorities announced Monday.
Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Mancera said 460 additional city police officers have been assigned to patrol the areas surrounding the airport. Federal police have added 350 new agents to the airport since December, said Federal Police Commissioner Rodrigo Esparza.
At least 18 people have been robbed recently outside the airport. They apparently were followed after doing business at the currency exchanges inside, according to city prosecutors.
Five of the victims were foreigners, including a French scientist who was shot and killed in January after assailants intercepted his car and stole 4,800 euros ($6,336).
The government also deployed 700 extra federal police Monday to Ciudad Juarez, a city bordering Texas where local police have been overwhelmed by drug violence. The police joined 3,200 federal troops who arrived in the city over the weekend.
Meanwhile in the western state of Michoacan, attackers threw grenades at a city police chief's house and a police station on Monday in the city of Uruapan, injuring four officers, a state prosecutor said.
Uruapan is one of many cities struggling with increasing drug violence. There were two other grenade attacks against police stations there in February.
More than 1,000 people have been killed so far this year in Mexico as drug gangs battle each other for territory and fight off a government crackdown.
In Tijuana, police arrested four associates of Teodoro Garcia Simental, a suspected drug lord and chief rival of Arellano Felix cartel leader Fernando Sanchez Arrellano. One of the four is believed to be Garcia Simental's chief recruiter, federal police said.
Mexican officials blamed the power struggle between Garcia Simental and Sanchez Arrellano for a surge in violence in Tijuana last year. In January, police arrested a man accused of disposing of hundreds of bodies for Garcia Simental by dissolving them in a corrosive material.
Esparza said police are hopeful the recent arrests will help them close in on Tijuana's top drug lords.
Also Monday, Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna said that police are using trained dogs to search for a pit in which an Italian businessman kidnapped in June was reportedly buried after being killed by his captors.
Italian Claudio Conti was a longtime resident and business owner in the southern Pacific coast resort of Puerto Escondido. A man who allegedly helped kidnap Conti told investigators the businessman was ordered to be killed and buried in a pit in the area.

Yes, that is national magazine publisher, Tim Suddard, pushing a stolen shopping kart down highway 441 in Milledgeville GA with his newly purchased battery and tool pouch. (Photos by Tom Suddard)
When we last left the Suddard clan, Classic Motorsports magazine Publisher Tim Suddard and his family were getting ready to take a 3,500-mile trip in their 47-year-old Mercedes to visit us at Hagerty headquarters.
They ran into trouble literally as soon as they left their driveway. Right off the bat, they realized that although they had ride-tested the car with what should have been enough weight to simulate luggage, they had miscalculated. The car was so low in the rear, the exhaust was actually dragging over bumps. So the first leg of the trip was a three-block journey before they returned home to jettison all nonessential items and redistribute the weight of the luggage.
Of course, the tools and spares were the first to go, as they were the heaviest.
After that, these Hagerty customers headed out into the Okefenokee Swamp. Tim Suddard, the car's owner, says he figured it like this: "What could possibly go wrong? This is a Mercedes and we sorted out everything before we left. We won't need tools and spares."
Wrong. As darkness fell, the Mercedes cranked along with the driving lights on, the air conditioning blowing cold and the stereo cranking out some sweet tunes. The trip through the swamp seemed to be going great… until the lights started to dim. The newly rebuilt stock alternator was either not keeping up with the demands of all the equipment that had been added to the car—or it was failing.
Alternating between steadily dimming low beams and a very bright SureFire flashlight (with the lights off to allow the battery to recharge), our intrepid travelers made it to their first stop of the night very late, stressed and tired. Driving through the wilds of southern Georgia on a moonless night lit only with parking lights and a flashlight will do that to you.
A quick check of the ignition switch at that stop confirmed their worst fears: The car would not restart. So the weary family trudged into the hotel hoping that after a good, if short, night's sleep, things would look better in the morning.
Things looked the same in the morning. The car would not restart, so a short walk brought them to a K-Mart, where they purchased a battery and some tools. In short order, the fresh battery got the Suddards back on the road. Although nothing was really fixed, they knew that during daylight hours, an old car uses very little electricity with all the accessories off, and the family hoped to limp to a friend's Mercedes restoration shop a few hours away to address the underlying problems.
That friend, an old racing buddy of the senior Suddard, is Pieter van Rossum, owner of Silver Star Restorations (http://www.silverstarrestorations.com/) in western North Carolina. He and fellow "fintail" Mercedes enthusiast Drew Thibken tried to locate the problem, but were forced to settle for giving the Suddards some piece of mind in the form of a spare alternator and voltage regulator. With daylight burning, the family clambered back in their Merc and headed north through the smoky Mountains, eager for less adventure.

Deep, bright red-ruby. Aromas of ripe red cherry, dark plum and kirsch are complicated by sexy woodsmoke, eucalyptus and bay leaf. Silky and rather lush, with considerable sweetness and creaminess to its ripe, sweet flavours of cassis, blackberry jelly and ripe black plum. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and lingering notes of minerals, herbs, dried flowers and smoke. Displays lovely balance and good length on the rich, seamless, creamy-ripe finish, which exhibits a lingering menthol note that reminded me of a Napa cabernet... Stephen Tanzer's IWC

Flight and fight: farmers in hen harrier areas still not compensated
Thousands of farmers are still waiting for a definitive compensation scheme on lands affected by the EU's protected status for the hen harrier
Eight months after a new agri-environmental scheme was first announced, farmers with designated lands in hen harrier areas are still waiting.
A total of €70m has been allocated for the Locally Led Agri-Environment Scheme (LLAES), announced by former Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney in October.
Two hundred farmers were recruited into the Burren Programme in January for a five-year contract with further tranches promised to double participation.
The Department of Agriculture says it hopes specific complementary Hen Harrier and Freshwater Pearl Mussel schemes will open for applications in the second half of 2016.
However, this is subject to ongoing negotiations with the European Commission and budgets have yet to be allocated.
Over half of the 3,860 farmers whose land has been designated as a special protection area (SPA) for the hen harrier have already joined GLAS, described by the Department as "the most successful agri-environment scheme ever launched", guaranteeing hen harrier farmers access ahead of others, and one of the highest per hectare payments of €370pa.
Minister Michael Creed has encouraged more farmers to come in when the third tranche is launched later this year, taking the GLAS hen harrier measure on as much land as they can, and then applying for the LLAES on the balance of their land, which he says will guarantee the best return.
However, Irish Farmers with Designated Land (IFDL), which represents the hen harrier farmers, says GLAS had too many shortcomings to begin with. "GLAS was a very poor effort for compensation and there were a lot of problems with it and it didn't suit everyone," IFDL chairman Liam O'Keeffe told the Farming Independent.

University students are increasingly unable to read a whole book as they simply don't have the concentration spans required, nor are they able to understand complex, nuanced arguments, academics have said. Lecturers at leading British universities are having to actively encourage students to read beyond the set texts, and have noticed that students are increasingly unwilling to read whole texts. They say they believe internet culture is to blame . . .More here.

Agreed. This issue is not the teacher's fault. We live in a screen obsessed world. There are a lot of advantages but, obviously, quite a bit of downside as well.

It's not just college students. I've met plenty of older folks who can't understand anything nuanced, and have pathetically short attention spans. My dad's one of them (he's 73), and it drives me nuts.

For the love of Everything Beautiful
Electric Light Era started as an extension of my antique mall space. I have been working with antiques, vintage goods, illustrations, art, and design for over the last decade. The term 'electric light' is so poetic, and it is something completely taken for granted today. It really speaks of an era, when electric light changed the lives of everyone it shined down upon. I like to think of that era as a crossroads in american culture, ideals, and beliefs. It is those ideals that are shown in the items produced of that era, the first half of the last century. If you are a Seattle local, come visit my goods in person at the Fremont Vintage Mall- in beautiful Seattle, Washington.
I also have another etsy business called High Lane Millinery - my partner Sandra Darling and I create fashion forward hats and fascinators that evoke hollywood at it's finest. Please take a peek at highlanemillinery.etsy.com .

more about claiming against a solicitor
Unfortunately a case handled by a negligent solicitor can only be re-opened in exceptional circumstances. The verdict or ruling given at the conclusion of a case, even if conducted negligently, will normally stand.
If you lost a possible compensation claim because a negligent solicitor failed to meet court submission deadlines for example, then as a general rule there is nothing we can do to re-open or revise those proceedings. We will advise you at the outset if there is anything that can be done to re-open your case
What we can do in such cases is argue that if your solicitor had not missed those deadlines through their negligence, the probable result of a court hearing would have been such that you were likely to have been awarded a sum in compensation. We would have to show that the negligence directly caused the loss or damage you suffered. If such 'causation' cannot be established, there can be no claim.
A further example of solicitor negligence is if a solicitor acted for you in the purchase of a property and failed to carry out all of the necessary searches, and you later learn of a problem which your solicitors should have picked up on, and which decreases the value of your property.

I Love to Make Girls Smile

There is nothing better in my mindthan making a girl you care about smile. Girls I find radiate beauty when they are smiling and when that smile Is directed at you it's the best feeling in the world. It doesn't even have to be your girlfriend or wife just somebody who you care about and vice versa
Lazerbeam9 22-25, M 0 Oct 26, 2015
Love To Make Girls SmileI love to make girls smile. When I go out to places I just feel the urge to make girls smile. It could be in the park or at wal mart, I just walk up to a random girl and try to make her smile. I usually go for the girls that aren't smiling or look like they're not so happy but...
Isn't that something girls love about a boy?I can make girls smile very easily, so how come that I've never been in a relationship? I've always been a good friend for girls, but it seems like I'm nobody's type... My biggest fear is that I'll still be a complete virgin at 20 when no girl is a virgin anymore...
DiketaDrako 16-17, M 1 Response 2 Dec 31, 2015

Portugese Spikes of Corn Cookies (Espigas De Milho)
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 30mins
Recipe by Chef Gorete
This is my favorite portuguese cookie. I enjoy the tender crunch and corn flavour of the cookie, and it stays fresh for a long time.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 1⁄4 cups yellow corn flour
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 lb butter, room temperature
- 1⁄2 lb lard, room temperature
- 1 lemon rind
- milk (if necessary)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Beat all of the ingredients together except for the two flours. When well beaten, add all of the flour and mix well until blended. Dough should be firm enough to hold its shape when pressed. (Adjust firmness by adding either milk or flour, a little at a time).
- Using a cookie press with a star tip, pipe a rope of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Cut the rope into 5 to 6" lengths, and then shape into an S. (Alternatively, you can make simple drop cookies).
- Bake at 350 F until done, about 15 – 17 minutes and cookies have light colour. Once all of the cookies are baked, pile the cookies on one cookie sheet and return to a 200 F oven for 30-45 minutes to add crispiness and colour.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before storing them in an air tight container.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR ORDER S.B. Criminal Revision Petition No. 157/2003 Dharmi Chand Vs. State of Rajasthan & Others. DATE OF ORDER: 12.07.2011 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA KUMAR JAIN Mr. Ravi Kasliwal, for the petitioner. Ms. Rekha Madnani, Public Prosecutor, for the Respondent No. 1-State. Mr. Gaurav Gupta, for the Respondents No. 2 to 7. BY THE COURT:
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. Complainant-petitioner has preferred this revision petition challenging impugned judgment and order dated 29.10.2002 passed by Additional District and Sessions Judge(Fast Track), Beawar in Criminal Case No. 6/2002(27/96), whereby accused-respondents were acquitted from the offences under Sections 148, 341 and 307/149 I.P.C. The complainant is also aggrieved with the impugned judgment and order, whereby although accused-respondents were convicted under Section 325/149 I.P.C., but they were not awarded sentence of imprisonment and they were given benefit of Probation of Offenders Act.
3. Brief facts of the case are that on 14.05.1996, S.H.O., Vijay Nagar received a telephonic message that in industrial area, there was a quarrel taking place with Dharmi Chand Master. The name of informant was disclosed as Dinesh. On the basis of this information, Rapat No. 493 was registered at 8.30 P.M. and S.H.O. proceeded for the place of incident. The statement of injured Dharmi Chand, who was admitted in hospital, was recorded, wherein it was stated that he and his brother Ghanshyam were coming from their agricultural field and in the way, the accused persons(named in Parcha Bayan) stopped them and inflicted injuries on their person. On the basis of Parcha Bayan, the case was registered under Sections 147, 148, 341, 323 and 307 I.P.C. After completion of investigation, the Police submitted a charge sheet in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Vijay Nagar, who committed the case for trial to the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Beawar.
4. The trial court framed charge against the accused-persons for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 323, 341, 325/149 and 307/149 I.P.C. Accused persons denied charges and claimed trial. In support of the case, the prosecution examined P.W. 1 to P.W. 14 and also produced documentary evidence. Thereafter, statements of the accused persons were recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. In defence, D.W. 1 and D.W. 2 were examined.
5. After hearing the arguments and examining the record, learned trial court acquitted the accused persons from offences under Sections 148, 341 and 307/149 I.P.C. Accused persons Panchu, Chetan, Ramdev, Shri Ram and Deva were also acquitted from charge under Section 323 I.P.C. However, learned trial court convicted the accused persons Panchu, Ramdev, Deva, Chetan and Shri Ram under Sections 147 and 325/149 I.P.C. and accused Dharma under Sections 323, 147, 325/149 I.P.C. Learned trial court gave the benefit of Probation of Offenders Act to accused Dharma and also passed an order directing him to pay compensation of Rs. 5,000/- to the injured. Similarly, remaining five accused persons were also granted benefit of Probation of Offenders Act and each of them was directed to pay a sum of Rs. 3,000/-, total Rs. 15,000/- as compensation to injured.
6. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that injured Dharmi Chand sustained as many as 14 injuries, including four injuries on the head and the accused persons were convicted with the aid of Section 149 I.P.C., therefore, intention to commit murder was clearly proved and trial court committed an illegality in acquitting them from the charge under Section 307/149 I.P.C. He further argued that in the present case, four doctors were examined on behalf of the prosecution namely P.W. 11 Dr. G.S. Nawal; P.W. 13 Dr. V.C. Kasliwal; P.W. 7 Dr. Anil Kumar Soni and P.W. 9 Dr. Pushpa Gupta and from their statements, it is clear that in case medical aid would not have been provided to the injured, then he would have succumbed to the injuries. He, therefore, submitted that looking to the number of injuries, offence under Section 307 I.P.C. was clearly made out, therefore, order of the trial court may be set aside and the accused persons may be convicted accordingly.
7. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that looking to number of injuries, it was not proper on the part of the learned trial court to grant benefit of probation to the accused persons under Section 325/149 I.P.C. He further submitted that amount of compensation is also not adequate and it should be enhanced.
8. Learned counsel for the accused-respondents submitted that there is no dispute that there were 14 injuries on the person of the injured Dharmi Chand, P.W. 10, but the injuries sustained by him on the head were found to be simple in nature and other injuries were on non-vital part of the body and they were not dangerous and sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature. He, therefore, contended that learned trial court was absolutely right in acquitting the accused-respondents from the charges under Section 307/149 I.P.C. So far as grant of probation to accused-respondents is concerned, he submitted that maximum sentence under Section 325 I.P.C. is seven years and said offence is triable by the Court of any Magistrate. He further submitted that accused persons remained in jail for a period of one month and five days i.e. from 15.05.1996 till 20.06.1996, therefore, looking to all the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the maximum sentence prescribed under Section 325 I.P.C., it was incumbent on the part of the learned trial court to grant the benefit of Probation of Offenders Act or to give the benefit of Section 360 Cr.P.C. to the accused respondents, otherwise to record the reasons for not giving the said benefit, in view of Section 361 Cr.P.C. Since it was first offence of the accused persons, therefore, there is nothing wrong in the order passed by learned trial court in extending the benefit of probation to accused persons. He further submitted that the present incident relates to the year 1996 and total amount of compensation awarded is Rs. 20,000/-, which has already been deposited by the accused-persons in the trial court. He, therefore, submitted that this is not a fit case for interference by this Court in the judgment and order passed by learned trial court.
9. I have considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties and minutely scanned the impugned judgment and record of the trial court.
10. The incident in the present case took place on 14.05.1996 and accused persons were arrested on 15.05.1996 and they were released on bail on 20.06.1996. After completion of investigation, a charge sheet was filed. Prosecution examined P.W. 7 Dr. Anil Kumar Soni; P.W. 9 Dr. Pushpa Gupta; P.W. 11 Dr. G.S. Nawal and P.W. 13 Dr. V.C. Kasliwal. Injury Report of injured Dharmi Chand is Exhibit P-11. From the oral and documentary evidence, it is clear that all the four injuries, sustained by the injured on his head, were found to be simple in nature and other injuries were on non-vital part of the body and none of them was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner, that since there were 14 injuries, therefore, the same should have been taken into consideration, cannot be accepted, for the simple reason that number of injuries is not relevant, it is the nature of injuries, which is relevant for the purpose of constituting a particular offence. Since no injury was there on the person of the injured, which was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature, therefore, in these circumstances, I am of the view that learned trial court was absolutely right in acquitting the accused persons from the offence under Section 307/149 I.P.C.
11. Apart from above, it is relevant to mention that present revision petition is directed against an order of acquittal whereas the scope to interfere in the order of acquittal is very limited. Hon'ble Apex Court in State of Madhya Pradesh vs. Bacchudas alias Balaram & Ors. (AIR 2007 SC 1236) observed that if two views are possible on the evidence adduced in the case, one pointing to the guilt of the accused and the other to his innocence, the view which is favourable to the accused should be adopted. Hon'ble Apex Court further observed that the order of acquittal should not be interferred with unless there are some compelling and substantial reason or circumstances for doing so. Para 9 of the judgment(supra) is reproduced as under:
9. There is no embargo on the appellate court reviewing the evidence upon which an order of acquittal is based. Generally, the order of acquittal shall not be interfered with because the presumption of innocence of the accused is further strengthened by acquittal. The golden thread which runs through the web of administration of justice in criminal cases is that if two view are possible on the evidence adduced in the case, one pointing to the guilt of the accused and the other to his innocence, the view which is favourable to the accused should be adopted. The paramount consideration of the court is to ensure that miscarriage of justice is prevented. A miscarriage of injustice which may arise from acquittal of the guilt is no less than from the conviction of an innocent. In a case where admissible evidence is ignored, a duty is cast upon the appellate court to reappreciate the evidence where the accused has been acquitted for the purpose of ascertaining as to whether any of the accused really committed any offences or not.
The principle to be followed by the appellate court considering the appeal against the judgment of acquittal is to interfere only when there is compelling and substantial reasons for doing so. If the impugned judgment is clearly unreasonable and relevant and convincing materials have been unjustifiably eliminated in the process, it is a compelling reason for interference. These aspects were highlighted by this Court in Shivaji Sahabrao Bobade Vs. State of Maharahstra(1973(2)SCC 793); Ramesh Babulal Doshi Vs. State of Gujarat(1996(9)SCC 225); Jaswant Vs. State of Harayana(2000(4)SCC 484); Rajkishore Jha Vs. State of Bihar(2003(11)SCC 519); State of Punjab Vs. Karnail Singh(2003(11)SCC 271); State of Punjab Vs. Phola Singh(2003(11)SCC 58); Suchand Pal Vs. Phani Pal(2003(11)SCC 527) and Sachchey Lal Tiwari Vs. State of U.P.(2004(11)SCC 410.
12. So far as extending benefit of probation to accused persons under Section 325/149 I.P.C. is concerned, I find that order passed by trial court to that extent is absolutely justified, looking to maximum sentence prescribed under Section 325 I.P.C., moreso, when the offence is triable by the Court of any Magistrate. It is relevant to mention that admittedly accused persons remained in custody from 15.05.1996 to 20.06.1996 i.e. for one month and five days. Even if the order of imprisonment is required to be passed, then the said period of imprisonment is sufficient and no further order of imprisonment is required to be passed in the facts and circumstances of the present case. Since order passed by trial court extending benefit of Probation of Offenders Act to accused persons is justified, therefore, no order of imprisonment is required to be passed in the present case.
12. So far as enhancement of the amount of compensation is concerned, it is true that the present incident relates to the year 1996 and accused Dharma was directed to pay a sum of Rs. 5,000/- and other remaining five accused persons were directed to pay Rs. 3,000/-(each accused), total Rs. 20,000/-, which has already been deposited by the accused persons in the trial court, therefore, I do not find any merit in this submission of learned counsel for the petitioner also. The amount of compensation awarded in the present case appears to be just and reasonable, in the facts and circumstances of the present case.
13. In view of above discussions, I do not find any merit in this revision petition and the same is, accordingly, dismissed.
Manoj, S.No.S.66.

Forensic scientist tells murder trial he discounted DNA evidence on jacket belonging to the accused
A forensic scientist in the trial of Mark Nash for the murder of two women in 1997 told the court that he has discounted the fact that DNA profiles from the women were found on the sleeve of a jacket belonging to the murder accused.
Mr Nash, 42, who has last addresses at Prussia Street and Clonliffe Road in Dublin, pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court to the murder of 60-year-old Sylvia Shields and Mary Callanan, 61, between 6 and 7 March 1997.
The two women were living in sheltered accommodation in a house attached to St Brendan's Psychiatric Hospital in Grangegorman at the time of their murders.
Dr Philip Avenell told the court he had compared two hypotheses, one considering whether the DNA results were obtained when the jacket was present at the murders and another whether the DNA results were obtained when the jacket was seized.
He said that reading from his report he was "unable to determine which proposition was more likely."
The court previously heard that a profile taken from the button threads of the right sleeve of the black velvet jacket matched Ms Shields' DNA profile and a DNA profile obtained from a "particle" found inside the seam of the right sleeve of the black velvet jacket, also matched Ms Callanan.
Counsel for the State Brendan Grehan put it to Dr Avenell was he aware of the fact that Mr Nash had said he was wearing the "jacket on the night of the murders?"
"I was aware that scientists had reviewed photos and I saw a photo during the course of the trial" replied Dr Avenell.
Mr Grehan said there was evidence from others like former partner Lucy Porter who said the accused was wearing a "velvet jacket" on the night in question.
Putting forward his reasons for believing how the jacket belonging to Mr Nash was contaminated after it was seized, Dr Avenell said the packaging of the jacket must be considered.
"In this case the top of the bag was rolled over a number of times and sealed with staples, a routine considered at the time to be appropriate, however there is an issue with rolling as it creates crevices where contamination can occur," said Dr Avenell.
Dr Avenell told the court that because wiping down the bag containing the jacket was not a standard practice in 1997, this was another possibility of contamination as blood flakes or particles could transfer to the item.
Dr Avenell told the court that another possible reason for contamination was the fact that the jacket and heavily blood stained clothing and bedding found at the scene were examined in the same room at the laboratory six weeks apart.
The court heard that the fourth possibility put forward by Dr Avenell was "file to file transfer".
Mr Grehan asked Dr Avenell about his theory on the possibility of blood flakes and particles from blood stained clothing and bedding examined in the lab, persisting for six weeks on the floor?
"It's an unknown variable without knowing the cleaning procedures, we would obviously assume some cleaning was done," replied Dr Avenell.
"There are many steps how this contamination event might have occurred and it is not clear which one," he added.
After Dr Avenell's cross-examination, Mr Justice Carroll Moran told the jury of six men and five women that this was the end of the evidence and he would resume the case on Tuesday 14 April at 11am, with it finishing the week of 20 April.

Only 14 Western Sydney Wanderers fans will travel to Saudi Arabia to support their team in their historic second leg of the Asian Champions League final.
And of that mini-travelling party, only one female from the A-League's most passionately supported club will be in attendance.
The Wanderers were hoping for a contingent of around 200 of their supporters to spur them on against Al-Hilal at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh on Sunday morning (AEDT).
However, a club spokesperson said a strict and complex process for obtaining Saudi Arabia visas, along with the travel cost, had reduced the touring party leaving from Sydney to 13 men and one woman.
Under conservative Saudi law, single women must be in the company of their husband or a male family member to be able to obtain a visa, and a Western Sydney spokesperson confirmed the solitary female Wanderers supporter will make the journey with her father.
Another challenge facing supporters, members of the media and Wanderers management, has been the Saudi stipulation that people of the Jewish faith, and even people with Israeli stamps on their passport, are not allowed entry to the country.
Western Sydney declined to comment on whether their chairman Paul Lederer, who is Jewish, will travel to Riyadh.
Fairfax media reported earlier this month that the Asian Football Confederation may look to arrange a way for Lederer to attend under conditions usually reserved for diplomats.
Asian Champions League regulations say that: "Hosting club and its National Association must guarantee and ensure that access to the stadium will be granted to the AFC delegation, officials and players of the visiting club, sponsors, travelling fans and media without any discrimination of gender, race or nationality."
Amid the excitement of the Wanderers being on the verge of becoming the first Australian football team to win an Asian Cup, the visa issue in Saudi Arabia is a disappointing undercurrent to the story.
At Parramatta Stadium for the first leg of the final, the "Blue Wave" of Al-Hilal fans filled up the entire southern end of the ground, behind the goals.
However in the 65,000-capacity cauldron of King Fahd Stadium, the Wanderers fans will be barely a drop in the ocean as they watch their team attempt to press home their 1-0 advantage.
Veteran goalkeeper Ante Covic explained on Monday how important the Wanderers supporters were to the team's success.
"They're a big part of this club right now," he said. "When you come to a club like this and you look out at the stands ... it lifts us on the field."
When the Wanderers began organising travel packages a month ago, there were initial concerns that female supporters may be segregated in a separate part of the ground.
However, the one female Wanderers fan will be allowed to sit with the 13 other Western Sydney supporters.
It was only last year, Saudi Arabian law permitted women to attend football matches.

The gong hangs about 14" from back pole.
You stand captain of your submarine, and you look to return home.
The port is empty, your crew in bed after an exhaustive day of research. You think of your wife, miles above you on land, and catch your smiling reflection in the port window. How amazed she'll be when she hears your story. When everyone hears your story.
Your ship, the SS 32-I Sift, brushes up the sand along base of the Pacific. You put on your DeepSubmerg Suit, and open a small porthole in the ceiling above.
You pull yourself up, and shut the door behind. You look around the room, a small dome with a 32" Atlantis Gong sitting on a Meinl Gong/Tam Tam stand - received from the elders as a parting gift. Bon Voyage. Beside the gong sits a small table, with a red button in the middle.
You look back. You can see the glow of Atlantis fading into the blue, a few miles separating the two of you.
You found it.
The mission was impossible, a waste of resources. Atlantis doesn't exist.
New history books, you think, will need to be printed.
You press the button. Three clicks sound from within the ship below and the dome separates into two halves, then retracts into the submarine. Water rushes in immediately, nearly knocking you off your feet. Thankfully your magboots keep you upright.
The gong, understandably called an Atlantis Gong, was custom made, the elders told you. Rock salt and minerals and heat involved in the process lead to uniquely crafted instruments, each gong its own experience.
The gong's support, known as a Meinl/Tam Tam stand, was built by Atlantis engineers to support the immense weight of the ocean. Little do the surface dwellers their spiritual brethren above know, that their design for this gong stand, is the same, thanks to telepathic communication from the Atlanteans.
When you return, the gong will be taken and studied by appropriate scholarly bodies. Apprehension of bureaucratic incompetence is already running through your head, and you fear for what your fellow land dwellers may do to the Atlantean people.
BUT in this moment, though, you just want to stand in the ocean and hear this instrument.
You strike the gong and the water explodes around you, sound waves flying in every direction. The tone is low and resonates through the ocean, reaching farther than you can see. Dolphins look up and smile. Manatees sigh.
You strike the gong again, and again. Instant meditation reaches you, and those beings around you, and the excitement of your discovery is magnified. This instrument embodies the connection you've made, a synecdoche for the beauty of expanding your, and man's, horizon.

THE HISTORY OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY (HIST 3540 Fall 2014)
This course explores the historical development of Christianity between the first and fifth centuries, from the lifetime of Paul to the Council of Chalcedon, touching on recent scholarly and popular debates, as well as major themes and figures from the period. It fulfills the College of Arts & Sciences Humanities requirement and an elective in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
Objectives for the Course are that you become able to express informed, persuasive, and historically sensitive responses to topics such as these:
· What does Christianity owe to Judaism? What does it owe to Greco-Roman culture?
· How is writing and literacy important to the history of Christianity?
· Did Christianity change the lives of women more than men?
· What does it mean to persecute or to be persecuted?
· How did martyrs and saints become important to Christianity?
· What did it mean to be a church and how did hierarchies emerge?
· Was Christianity a popular religion or an elite religion?
These are broad questions which we return to throughout the semester. Answering them historically means as they pertain to a particular time and place. In order to do so, you will need to learn about ancient beliefs in the supernatural, public and private rituals, different philosophical traditions, gender norms and attitudes toward sexuality, and what it meant for Christianity to emerge as a religion of empire. You will also come to know some of the men and women renowned as preachers and philosophers, leaders and recluses, heroes and troublemakers.
What's Expected is that you attend class, take notes, read as much as possible, and have worthwhile things to say and write. Participation is based on actual participation in class and journals, not just showing up; grades are assigned three times (weeks 5, 10, and 15). Four in-class quizzes check on progress and comprehension. Groups will debate over heresy in Weeks 7 and 15: winners get bonus points. Everyone takes the first exam. You choose between a final exam or 8-10 page paper.
Google Drive is where detailed descriptions of assignments and other materials are to be found and written assignments are to be submitted. Create a Gmail account and sign up on the roster.
Weighting of the Grades goes like this:
Class Policy allows for late or make-up work only in case of serious, documented illness or emergencies including death in the family (contact Dean of Students, 593-1800). Cheating or plagiarism generates a failing grade for the assignment and referral to Community Standards. Do not distract yourself or others with noise, electronics, texting, coming late or leaving early, sleeping, or other annoying behavior. I will ask you once to stop, before giving an F for that unit's participation. There's no formal attendance policy, but you're unlikely to pass without attending.
Help with the course is always available, just ask. I want every student to do well and learn from this course. I'm happy to see you after class, in my office whenever I am there, or by appointment (email me). Please let me know if you have needs or disabilities requiring my attention; I am happy to accommodate you according to university policy.
Books You Must Possess are listed by publisher's price, but discount and used copies of them all are widely available, including at Little Professor Book Center (65 S. Court St.). Except for Lynch, you must have these books with you in class when they're assigned.

Location: Coastal Plain Soil, Water and Plant Conservation Research2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
1. Develop improved treatment technologies to better manage manure from swine, poultry and dairy operations to reduce releases to the environment of odors, pathogens, ammonia, and greenhouse gases as well as to maximize nutrient recovery. 2. Develop renewable energy via thermochemical technologies and practices for improved conversion of manure into heat, power, biofuels, and biochars. 3. Develop guidelines to minimize nitrous oxide emissions from poultry and swine manure-impacted riparian buffers and treatment wetlands. 4. Develop beneficial uses of manure treatment technology byproducts.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
This research will take a synergistic approach towards developing innovative and effective animal manure treatment practices and holistic systems. This research will pursue four complementary bioresource management approaches. First, improved treatment technologies to better manage manure from swine, poultry, and dairy operations will be developed to reduce releases into the environment of odors, pathogens, ammonia, and greenhouse gases as well as to maximize nutrient recovery. These technologies include improved solid liquid separation, enhanced biological nitrogen treatment by anaerobic ammonia oxidation, recovery of ammonia from manure using gas permeable membranes, recovery of phosphorus from solid manure, wastewater treatment using constructed wetlands, in-house composting of poultry litter, and their integration into systems of treatment technologies. Second, investigations will be conducted to develop thermochemical technologies and practices for improved conversion of manure into heat, power, biofuels, and biochars. Manure based feedstocks for thermochemical conversion will be evaluated. Improved methods to condition manures for biochar and combustible gas production using pyrolysis will be determined. An efficient carbonization process for production of manure biochars with specific composition and properties for beneficial use will be developed. Third, research will be conducted to develop guidelines to more effectively manage and minimize nitrous oxide emissions from poultry and swine manure impacted riparian buffer zones and treatment wetlands. Fourth, we will develop beneficial uses for manure byproducts. These include the use of manure biochars as adsorbants for gaseous and aqueous contaminants, as soil amendments to improve physical and chemical properties, and as fertilizer source for crop production. Results from this project will advance the state of the science for more effective animal waste treatment and implementation of environmentally safe alternatives to traditional land application.
3. Progress Report
Filed a patent application (U.S. Patent Application 61314683, 3/15/2011) on a system and method for passive capture of gaseous ammonia in enclosures such as poultry barns. The invention includes the passage of gaseous ammonia through microporous gas-permeable membranes and its capture in a circulating acidic solution with simultaneous production of a concentrated non-volatile ammonium salt. The final products are cleaner air inside the barns with benefit for animal health and reduced environmental emissions, and concentrated liquid nitrogen that can be re-used in agriculture. Conducted experiments for phosphorus recovery from swine manure solids using the 'quick wash' technology developed by ARS Florence, South Carolina, scientists. Conducted a study on the temporal effects of microbial populations in an aerobic swine wastewater treatment system. Samples taken over a thirteen month period from each point in the wastewater treatment system were used to collect microbial community DNA. The DNA results revealed levels of organisms specific to the biological processes of nitritation (oxidation of ammonia to nitrite) and nitratation (oxidation of nitrite to nitrate). Conducted study on riparian buffer soils from selected sites in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern Coastal Plain areas to evaluate microbial communities responsible for biological nitrogen transformations (nitrification-denitrification). Microbial DNA was extracted from soil samples and assayed to determine the abundance of genes involved in soil nitrification and denitrification cycles. ARS scientists at New Orleans, Louisiana, and Florence, South Carolina, conducted collaborative investigations to determine the effectiveness of manure biochars as binders of heavy metals in soils. High temperature biochars made from feedlot manure, turkey, and poultry litter exhibited the greatest heavy metal soil retention. These results suggest their utilization for sequestering heavy metal, thereby reducing contaminant movement in soils and improve water quality. Greenhouse experiments were conducted to test plant response to biochar fertilized soils. A trial was completed using high and low biochars made from five manures (dairy, swine, poultry, beef, and turkey) that were added as phosphorus sources to pots planted to ryegrass.
4. Accomplishments
1. Biochars made from manures and crop residues improve soil carbon sequestration, water storage, fertility, and remove harmful chemicals. Investigators at the ARS Florence location produced biochars, a charcoal-like product, during carbonization of manure and plant waste materials using both thermal and hydrothermal processing. Both of these processes were optimized to produce biochars with diverse chemical and physical properties. Laboratory research showed that biochars made from nut shells were effective at increasing soil carbon sequestration while biochar made from grasses increased soil water storage. Manure biochars contained plentiful plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, but were blended with other plant-based biochars to produce a more nutrient balanced fertilizer-like product. Location scientists also discovered that hydrochar, the biochar made from hydrothermally processing poultry litter, can be used as an environmental adsorbent for effectively removing harmful chemicals such as endocrine disrupting chemicals and estrogens. Production of these biochars and their blends leads to an alternative use of agricultural byproducts that can increase soil carbon sequestration and water storage, provide essential plant nutrients and reduce levels of contaminants in soils.
2. Systems and methods for reducing ammonia emissions from liquid effluents and for recovering ammonia. ARS researchers at Florence, South Carolina, invented (U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13/164,363 – Filed June 20, 2011) a new system and methods for the removal, recovery and use of ammonia from ammonia containing liquid effluents such as animal and municipal wastewater. The invention allows for both the passage of ammonia through microporous hydrophobic gas-permeable membranes and its capture in a circulated stripping solution with concomitant production of a concentrated non-volatile ammonium salt. The potential benefits are reduced ammonia emissions from liquid manure, cleaner air inside the barns with benefits to animal health, and recovery of ammonia as a concentrated liquid nitrogen reusable as a plant fertilizer.
3. Novel anammox bacteria for wastewater treatment. Investigators at ARS Florence, South Carolina, discovered a novel anammox bacteria having Accession Deposit Number NRRL B-50286, and the characteristics of oxidizing ammonia and releasing di-nitrogen under anaerobic conditions. The novel bacterial strain Candidatus Brocadia caroliniensis of this invention (U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13/013,874 – Filed January 26, 2011) may be used for the treatment of wastewater having undesirable levels of ammonia, including agricultural, industrial, or municipal wastewaters. Compared to conventional biological nitrogen removal methods, this anammox microbial method reduces 60% of the energy for aeration and does not require external carbon addition. In addition, by-products do not include greenhouse gases (methane and nitrous oxide). This leads to a significant decrease in operational costs and provides environmental credit benefit for the users of this new technology.
4. State-of-the-art control system ensures biochar reproducibility. Engineers at ARS-Florence designed and tested a novel control system for consistent batch production of biochar, a charcoal-like byproduct of carbonization of manure and plant waste materials. This automated control scheme precisely tuned the production process to a desired temperature. Using the highly accurate controls, swine-based biochars produced in both high and low temperature regimes were rich in stable carbon structures with predictable, repeatable design characteristics.

Events like the outdoor game in the World Cup as well as the DEL Winter Game are things that make people watch hockey although they normally wouldn't. Giving broadcasting rights to ServusTV and Laola1.tv was another important step. Hockey does become more popular in Germany, no doubt about that. The recent success of Dennis Seidenberg becoming the second German to win the Stanley Cup champion and Leon Draisaitl being drafted 3rd overall helped, too. Germany went up to 2nd in attendance among the other European leagues, only behind Switzerland, and in front of European top leagues like the KHL, SM-Liiga and Elitserien.
So far you can't tell if any of these events have had a lasting effect.
Getting people to watch a one time (or once a year) sports event like the outdoor game in Germany is rather easy. Every year they have the Biathlon event in the Schalke stadium and not only do they sell out that arena, there are millions watching on TV. The kind of crowd these events attract would go and watch competitive cow milking if it was done in a football stadium and got the right publicity.
It's also not surprising that the average attendance is better or at the same level as in most other European countries, since we have 80+ million people living here.
In the end it always comes down to money, and the DEB has none, or at least they might have none, they won't know until an independent company checked their books. It's a small miracle that hockey in Germany hasn't died considering the way it has been managed in this past years.
I really hope things will improve now, but that will depend on the support of sponsors and politicians and I am skeptical on both accounts.
If the new DEB can actually make some changes and if the national team qualifies for the next Olympics, which I am not sure they will, things might look up, but right now it is hard to see a significant poistive development in German hockey.
Some things improved (a little), others not so much.

Games gets £750k pledge of support
MORE public funds will be needed to host the 2021 Island Games beyond the £750,000 pledged by the States yesterday, it has been warned, with security costs and capital projects still to come.
Home Affairs president Mary Lowe said her committee would probably need more in its budget for security if Guernsey hosted the event.
Policy & Resources president Deputy Gavin St Pier also outlined how the Footes Lane synthetic athletics track was subject to an outline proposal for funding from the Capital Reserve – with estimates this could cost £1m.
Other members also sounded alarms about the potential for the cost to escalate and the States forced to plug any shortfalls.
However, Education, Sport & Culture president Paul Le Pelley led the calls for the States to grasp this opportunity and the many economic and social benefits it would bring.
He also stressed that every effort would be made to keep costs down.
'I can't tell you there are no risks,' he said. 'There is a risk. There has to be a risk. There is nothing, I don't think, that has no risk.'
The States yesterday gave its support to the bid by the Guernsey Island Games Association for Guernsey to host the 2021 Island Games, and to provide the States grant of £750,000.
This will be funded through a combination of £600,000 from the Lottery Appropriation Account, including the operating surplus from the running of an Island Games Lottery, and £150,000 from the Sports Loans Fund.

Mr Bee
Why oh Why do we need this, and why are the States using lottery money to the tune of £600k
But a reciprocal health agreement is way out of the question!
Trevor Hockey
Agreed, at a cost of £1.67 per visitor when a sandwich and a cup of coffee would recoup that.

AVS is a good writer and vivacious speaker. Noticing the spark in his acting talents, he was offered the role of a comedian in films and he tickled the funny bones of audiences in many films. After few years of acting career, he decided to try his hand in direction. Three films like Super Heroes, Ori Nee Prema Bangaram Kaanu and Roommates came under his direction and after taking a considerable gap, he is back with Krishnudu in the lead and himself playing a key role. Let us see how he made Koti Mooka which has a tagline 'Not Only Comedy', but with a bunch of comedians.
Story: Ramana (Krishnudu) is the only son of local MLA Akula Appa Rao (Jayaprakash Reddy). He falls in love with his college-mate Lavanya (Shraddha Arya). Ramana wants to propose her, and at the same time, he comes to know that she wanted to pursue higher education and needs five years time. In order to wait for her, Ramana starts failing in his degree exam for five years. Lavanya returns to the college as lecturer and surprised to notice Ramana in the class.
Then Ramana expresses his love to Lavanya and latter tells him to get through the examination first. Ramana completes his degree in first class, but Lavanya refuses his love again. When Ramana insists as to what prevented her from loving him, she says that she was the daughter of a beggar named Koneru Anjaneyulu Anji (AVS). Ramana tells his parents about his love and Appa Rao gets angry and sends goons to thrash Anji. what happens next should be seen on screen.
