HEADS across the Five Valleys have welcomed the Government U-turn on plans to scrap GCSEs and replace them with a new qualification.
Speaking in the House of Commons on Thursday, education secretary Michael Gove said plans for new, tougher exams were a 'bridge too far'.
In September, he proposed to introduce a single exam board which would provide more rigorous examinations in core subjects, but these plans were highly critisised by MPs and teachers.
The change means plans to introduce the English Baccalaureate Certificate are being shelved – despite claims from the education secretary that the new qualification would address 'dumbing down' of examinations.
Julia Maunder, headteacher of Thomas Keble School in Eastcombe, welcomed the move to abandon plans for another change to qualifications in England.
"There is scope to refine the content and ensure consistency in standards without ditching the qualification itself," said Mrs Maunder.
"The GCSE as is provides a cohesive qualification structure which employers, students and parents are familiar with."
Tim Withers, headteacher of Stroud High School, said: "I feel very strongly that arts education is very important to a pupils development and it was completely ignored in the baccalaureate.
"Some of our students who have studied textiles have gone on to work at companies such as Burberry. For them the core subjects were not the most important aspect of their education."
Margie Burnet Ward, head of Wycliffe College said that some of the rhetoric used in the GCSE debate was having the most impact on students whose hard work and results have been called into question.
Headteacher of Maidenhill School in Stonehouse, Pam Wilson said: "All students need the chance to show what they can achieve. What they don't need is for the government to show them what they cannot achieve."
Stroud's former Labour MP, David Drew, said he hoped that the massive U-turn would now concentrate Mr Gove's mind on a better way forward.
"He should try to start working with teachers, pupils, parents, employers and educational professionals to improve not denigrate our system of education," said Mr Drew.
Stroud MP Neil Carmichael, who is also a member of the education select committee, said it was great to see that the committee's report – which was written when the original plans were published – has had an impact.
The former Marling School governor added: "We do however need a rigorous curriculum for pupils so that when they come to face life outside of education they will be able to succeed."

For some of you who were just able to get your hands on a Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, or Playstation 3, you're not even thinking about the next generation of consoles. Analysts are though, and according to some, 2010 will be the shot-gun start for the next round. The last time around, Microsoft had quite an advantage by launching the Xbox 360 a whole year ahead of the PS3 and the Wii. Launch dates looked like this:
- Xbox 360 on November 22, 2005
- Playstation 3 on November 17, 2006
- Nintendo Wii on November 19, 2006
Will Microsoft try and get a head-start again? Perhaps not. In 2010 analysts say launch dates will look like this: the Wii will be first, followed by a new Xbox later in the year. What about a PS4? Well, there's been no news, and no speculation quite yet. I think Sony has enough to worry about with trying to make sure they're selling enough of their PS3 consoles. But wait, maybe things are getting better for Sony?
Also in the news recently is speculation that the PS3 will end up outperforming the Xbox 360 this year. Part of this could be due to the fact that it's starting to appear as though Blu-ray is the clear winner in the high-definition format war. Purchasing a PS3 is one of the more affordable ways to get your hands on a Blu-ray player which could help their sales quite a bit. Analysts are also predicting that Sony could take back their title as "market leader" in about three years. It's hard to imagine that given Nintendo's current success with the Wii and even Microsoft's success with the Xbox 360, but anything is possible.

SPAIN'S Olympic Committee is campaigning hard for Mallorca-born tennis ace Rafa Nadal to be the country's flag carrier at the Rio de Janeiro games this summer.
Although suffering from a serious loss of form which has cost him a string of tournaments – a hangover from a succession of injuries in the last four years – Rafa 'has given so much to Spanish sports and society' that he should be 'rewarded' with the honour.
Alejandro Blanco, chairman of the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) says the country 'owes' it to the former ATP world number one to let him fly his national flag in the Brazilian city.
Traditionally, the flag-bearer is the player with the best results at the last Olympics.
"But when we have a sportsperson like Rafa, who missed his chance to fly the flag last time, the Spanish sports community has to grant him this honour, and with a great deal of pride," argues Blanco.
"Nadal had already been nominated as flag carrier for London 2012, then at the last minute he was unable to go because he was injured.
"There's only one sportsperson Spain really owes the honour of being flag-bearer to, and he's called Rafa Nadal.
"He has given our sports and society so much, he has been champion of everything and won an Olympic gold in Peking 2008, and this would be a way of rewarding him."
The final decision will have to be made by the committee and announced in March.

Micah Olsan
Off Beat Clappers and Hip Toe Tappers
Jul. 26, 2010
Micah Olsan incorporates so many styles into his folkiness it's enough to make one's head spin. And that might be the folkie-funky Milwaukeean's aim on his second CD. Into his intricate acoustic guitar work he integrates classical, jazz and Latin flair to augment what might otherwise be standard coffeehouse picking and strumming. Bass, keyboards and even smidgens of random noise give Olsan a heft and depth that suggest an especially thoughtful if sometimes typically rambling jam band. His gentle tenor aptly recalls Donovan, Chris Rice and the mellower moods of Dave Matthews, even as his bohemian angst doesn't always match the creativity of his musical backing. Olsan shines brighter in concert, and when his verbal musings match his instrumental prowess, he will be even more of a force to be reckoned with.

Jezebel - Poem by Patricia Kelley
She stands at the rooftop shouting.
With her thick full lips pouting,
Her long dark hair spirals down her spine.
Cascading as a vine,
She sounds like she's had too much wine.
She lures the men with her seductive talk.
Setting a grown man's groins on fire,
feeling eternity's fire!
Wearing her seductive see through attire,
The men step through temptation's walk.
Hearing her seductive voice echo,
They can still feel the hot coals on their feet.
She promises pleasure.
It sounds so sweet.
If only one of you, will give up his week's labor; their treasure.
She yells.
They jokingly walk through betting, the other guy.
That he can't just walk through, without being tempted.
Jezebel's activated spell.
Her voice reaches the sky.
The men call her Jezebel.
Hearing the church bell,
They run.
Feeling guilty of their lustful thoughts,
Thinking of the pleasure, they could've bought.
They run faster.
Their legs feeling like crumbling plaster.
Running away never forgetting her seductive voice as sailors run to her by choice.
They hear Jezebel's seductive voice.

I do visit New Jersey for a week each December, and many members of the family do try to stop by for a visit. I love them and appreciate it - my aunt and cousins stopped by during this year's trip to share a traditional Christmas dinner with us. And while I enjoyed it and hope that our yearly gatherings can be a new tradition going forward, that nostalgic part of me that clings to the past so strongly has a hard time letting go of things like our trips to the Fountains of Wayne and a family-filled living room on Christmas morning.
It is what it is, though. We're all adults now, and everything has changed. Those chapters of our lives are written, scrawled across pages of a book to be revisited whenever nostalgia taps me on the shoulder. I cherish the memories we had together, and I hope that someday we will be able to create more.
I love and miss you guys. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope 2013 is a great year for you and your families.
See you all in the new year.
God bless,

Burly Q™ is an old nickname for "burlesque". This class is wonderful for beginners or anyone who wants to move in a sexy, girly, pretty and confident way! It's not "how to do burlesque performing and take off your clothes", but rather, burlesque-INSPIRED choreography. The teachers have been experienced burlesque performers as well as choreographers, so the dances are reminiscent of the old fashioned burlesque cabaret, but with a hip modern take on it. And it's taught with love, humor, and respect. If you are curious AT ALL, come and try it. It's a blast whether you are a new dancer or a seasoned vet! See Schedule For All Times.
This high energy dance workout will certainly allow any level dancer (or non-dancer) to get their groove on. Repetitive but funky hip hop moves set to hip hop music designed to get you dancing without even realizing you are working your hiney off. You'll leave class sweaty, smiling and having danced. Eat bananas, though, because your legs will be sore the next day!
Modern/ Contemporary Dance is the first true American form of dance and began as a way to break away from the conventionalism of ballet technique and the formality of ballet movement. Modern dance is anything and everything the choreographer wants it to be. Movement and ideas are challenged in class as we find new ways to move our bodies in space. This class is designed to heighten and train core skills such as coordination, memorization, musicality, kinetic awareness and performance skills.
We have levels for everyone in this class, and our great selection of teachers allows us to offer several styles of this popular genre. Explore your options and find your favorite! See Schedule For All Times.
Think Beyonce. Cool, funky hip hop moves with a flourish of attitude and girliness. Dress in what makes you feel fierce and join us in this class chock full of attitude. See Schedule For All Times.
Lyrical Hip Hop dance is a mix of telling the story of the song and a dancer's emotions while using hip-hop movements and lyrical style to be as expressive and connected to the emotion of the music as possible.
Awesome, fun thrashy routines with a little less technique and tricks involved. One of our most popular classes! See Schedule For All Times.
This class is the BEST class for dance beginners, or anyone wanting to get a teensy bit sweaty and look sexy doing it! 30 minutes of cardio and toning, and 30 minutes of learning an easy, striptastic dance routine! See Schedule For All Times.

Here's a great clip of Bill Nye the Science Guy gently, but firmly, explaining to Fox News's Jon Scott that the potential existence of extinct lunar volcanoes doesn't disprove global warming. Scott believes that "...if the moon erupting volcanoes a few million years ago, you know, it's not like we've been up there burning fossil fuels." Whatever that means.
NYE: Uh, no, volcanoes are not connected to the burning of fossil fuels, it's connected to mining, but the big thing for us, on my side of this thing, is the science is true, and so when you discover -- the people who got really got involved in climate change, got involved in it often by studying Venus, the planet Venus. So the physics, the science that happens on Venus, is the same as the science that happens on the earth, the science that happens on the moon, in this case the geology the study of rocks, that happens on the moon, is the same science that happens on the earth. So when you say to yourself, well, I'm going to ignore all the evidence of climate change, you're saying, I'm going to ignore the best ideas anybody's ever had, that's science. And so this is quite troubling to those of us on our side of it.

UCSF Dentistry faculty Drs. Ram Vaderhobli and Sam Huang made a significant impact at a recent CAD/CAM conference, sharing the advances UCSF Dentistry has made in the techology - "a huge impact," in Dr. Vaderhobli's words.
Says Dr. Vaderhobli: "We have been pioneers in successfully implementing the CAD/CAM curriculum in predoctoral education amongst all dental schools worldwide, and Sam [Huang] spoke in depth about how we did it as part of his keynote address. We were mobbed by faculty from various schools afterward, asking us about the key points of Sam's presentation and about the steps we took to get it done." Vaderhobli and Huang have received inquiries about presenting a CAD/CAM road show at various institutions, to share their experience and expertise.
Vaderhobli reports that he was awarded the top prize for keynote excellence in delivering the educational curriculum, via a poster.
"Sam, has put in endless hours in fine-tuning all the details to get the core lecture materials, videos, and training together, and we are very grateful for his vision and efforts" adds Vaderhobli. He further credits UCSF Dentistry's Buchanan Dental Center, which "has led the way with smooth transitioning from lab to clinics, thanks largely to the work of Drs. Dick Mogensen and Gurrinder Atwal. Also, both Drs. George Taylor (Chair, Preventive and Restorative Dental Sciences, UCSF Dentistry) and Sheila Brear have guided us with their awesome leadership - we are learning from their educational thought process every day."

- Gong-ju Police station
Thorough investigation and firm punishment under animal protection law
Buddhist monk, abuses 2month old puppy with iron pipe, unconscious now
Video http://youtu.be/JC0osLXKcBg
Another animal abuse by a monk happened.
A monk from a Buddhist office in Gong-ju city got drunk in the might, went to a coffee shop nearby and harassed their 2 monht old puppy with an iron pipe dozen times, the puppy's skull fractured and eyes blinded, followed by paralyzed spines and got unconscious.
Upon receiving this report, CARE went to Chung-nam Gong-ju yesterday(7th May 2013), got handed over the puppy and took him to a veterinarian hospital in Gang-nam, Seoul. The puppy Ha-neul(means 'Sky' in Korean) is getting urgent treatments.
Also CARE reported this abuser to GOng-ju police station.
Last year another monk killed a jindo dog in drunk status with ax and ran away. CARE went after this monk for several month, took him to the police and got the first actual prison sentence for animal protection law in Korea - 6 month for that case.
It might be going that way, the second sentence also become a monk.
CARE will do our best to get this monk punished for his abuse, and do our best to keep this puppy "Ha-neul" alive and happy.
Please sign this petition to make animal protection law stronger.

Government anti-local government and anti-democracy
29 October 2012
Government anti-local government and anti-democracy
The real agenda behind the increased powers of Ministerial intervention in National's Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill is now clear, the Green Party said today.
"The Government suspended regional democracy in Canterbury in order to implement its irrigation expansion agenda when councillors weren't doing this fast enough," said Green Party local government spokesperson Eugenie Sage.
"National's Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill, which it is pushing through against immense opposition, will make it much easier for the Minister to interfere with and dominate councils to implement the Government's policy programme.
"The Minister claimed that regional democracy in Canterbury should not be reinstated because the Commissioners were "stable, effective and efficient". We now know that it was because the National Ministers wanted to achieve their own agenda without public accountability.
"This sets a very low benchmark for the removal of democracy when the imposition of one policy, in this case expanding irrigation, overrides all other considerations.
"The Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill has a loose definition of the types of "problem" in councils which can trigger Ministerial intervention. It sets a very low threshold for Ministerial interference, and gives the Minister wide scope to intervene and push central government priorities.
"National is anti-local government and anti-democratic.
"The list is growing: the Government removed ECan elections; gave draconian powers to CERA which have continued long after the emergency, crippling the role of elected councillors in Christchurch's rebuild; and is pushing anti-local government legislation through Parliament. On top of this, Ministers have decided that they, not the elected councillors, will appoint the influential hearing commissioners on the Auckland Plan.
"National does not respect local government and is attacking it on all fronts.
"Any region in New Zealand could be moved towards a solely economic growth model if you axe elected representatives.
"The National Government's inappropriate interference in Canterbury leaves little doubt in my mind that it will do the same to other communities.
"We need to strengthen our democratic tradition and
allow councils to continue to promote the four wellbeings -
environmental, economic, social and cultural - which are the
foundation of a healthy society; not dump on democracy as
National is doing," said Ms

Officials: Elderly woman took her own life
Published 2:53 pm, Thursday, May 9, 2013
An elderly woman whose body was discovered by her husband in their North Side home Monday committed suicide, officials with the medical examiner's office said.
Sandra Johnson, 71, was found dead at the couple's home in the 4300 block of Hollow Hill about 5 p.m., according to an incident report. Her husband called police, frantically telling them that someone had come inside and killed his wife.
A revolver was found next to Johnson's body, which lay on the floor in the home's master bedroom. Police saw a single bullet hole to the left side of her chest through her black tracksuit.

wikiHow to Strengthen Tendons
Two Methods:Using Strength-Training for TendonsStrengthening Tendons after InjuryCommunity Q&A
Tendons are the sinew that connect muscles to bones and then transmit force from your muscles to your bones, which is what permits bodily movement. It is important to strengthen tendons as well as muscles because stronger tendons can prevent athletic injuries, increase strength, and increase sprinting speed. In the case of injuries to tendons, it is often important to rehabilitate the tendon slowly through very precise movements. Tendons strengthen more slowly than muscles, so in addition to specifically targeting tendons with key exercises, you should also allow your body to adapt to fitness routines to reduce risk of injury rather than constantly pushing to add more weight.
Using Strength-Training for Tendons
1Add squats to your workout. One of the best ways you can strengthen the tendons in your legs is through a workout that includes a healthy dose of squats. To perform a squat, stand up straight with your feet flat and shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed slightly out. Slowly bend your knees and lower yourself as though your were attempting to sit in a chair. You want to lower yourself until your hips are situated lower than your knees.[1] Hold this position for ten seconds before rising. You may need to lift your arms out in front of you to act as a counterbalance.
- You can vary and add complexity to squats in many ways. Try doing the squats facing down an incline such as on a ramp, or try doing one-legged squats while holding onto a bar for support.[2]
2Do barbell squats. If standard squats are already a large part of your routine, you can increase the weight you squat by doing barbell or dumbbell squats where the weight is held on the shoulders and a limited range of movement is used.[3] Use a power rack to set the barbell height just below shoulder level, brace the bar across the shoulders behind your neck, lift off the rack by pushing with your heels and straightening your torso, then do a partial squat starting at only about 4 inches (10.2 cm).[4]
- Barbell and dumbbell squats are considered advanced technique exercises, so it's a good idea to have a trainer around before attempting.
- You may also want to wear knee wraps for additional support.[5]
3Do daily heel drop exercises. Heel drops are easy exercises that require little time and no gym equipment at all, and they're great for strengthening Achilles tendons. Stand on a raised surface such as a step with the balls of your feet on and your heels off. Raise all the way up on your toes, and then slowly lower your heels as far as you can and hold this bottom position before rising again.[6]
- You can perform this exercise with your knees either straight or slightly bent. The different stance will work different muscles, but both are great for your tendons.[7]
- You can add variety and complexity to this exercise by doing single-leg heel drops or even by adding weight from holding a dumbbell.[8]
- Three sets of fifteen reps each is enough to see and feel results.[9]
4Do sets of behind-the-neck presses. This is a great exercise for strengthening tricep and shoulder girdle tendons.[10] Use a power rack to bring a loaded barbell onto the shoulders as with as barbell squat. With your feet directly under your hips, bend at the knees just a few inches, and then reverse direction with power to straighten out and lift the barbell to full extension above your head.[11]
5Do sets of lying triceps extensions. This is another great exercise for tricep tendons.[14] Lay down on your back on a workout bench. Lift the loaded barbell with an overhand grip straight up at full extension—perpendicular to your torso and the floor—with your elbows tucked in.[15] Keep your upper arms stationary and bend at the elbows, so you bring the bar down until it nearly touches your forehead before returning to the starting position.[16]
- Many people find an E-Z curl bar more comfortable for lying tricep presses.
6Perform partial reps. In addition to targeted exercises, you can target tendons even further with partial reps.[17] A partial rep focuses on a limited range of motion. By limiting the range of motion to only a few inches, you will be able either to use more weight or to perform more repetitions, which helps to strengthen tendons.[18]
7Perform sets of exercises that target the same muscle groups on particular days. For instance, on Monday you may work out your shoulders, on Tuesday you may work out your chest, rest on Wednesday, work out your thighs and legs on Thursday and work out your arms on Friday.
- Consistently working all core muscle groups also means consistently working all of your core tendons, which will not only add to strength but also tendon flexibility, which is important in avoiding injury in any fitness regimen.[21]
Strengthening Tendons after Injury
1Consult a physical therapist. One of the most common reasons outside of committed personal training for which people seek to strengthen tendons is after a tendon injury. If you have an injury you suspect may be related to a tendon, first see your primary care physician for a diagnosis. If you are correct, your doctor will likely refer you to a physical therapist who can assign the proper exercises for rehabilitating the tendon.
- Many tendon injuries can require several weeks of limited use rather than exercise to strengthen the tendon, so it is especially important that you consult with a professional.[22] You may unwittingly exacerbate the problem by trying to strengthen a tendon that actually requires rest.
2Practice full extension exercises without weights. Tendons receive the most work at the ends of their ranges of motion. For instance, you feel the most stretch in your Achilles tendon when you bend your ankle to full flex such as in a lunge exercise. To begin gently working tendons, do full extension exercises without any weight.[23]
- Vary the movements as well. If you are strengthening your wrist tendons, for example, make sure you're not only full extending your wrist from side to side and up and down, but you should also turn your arm over and do the extensions in the reverse direction.[24]
- You want to practice these exercises around the injured tendon for approximately ten minutes at a time as long as no pain is involved. If the movements begin producing pain, take a break from them for a day or two, and if the pain persists, contact your physical therapist.
- Tendons receive the most work at full extension, so you can add to the exercise by pausing at the ends of your range of motion for ten seconds.
3Add a light weight to the extension exercises. Once you've rehabilitated the tendon to the degree that you can complete the full extension flexing exercises without pain or difficulty, try adding a light amount of weight to the exercise. The amount will depend upon the degree of injury and the tendon you want to strengthen. For wrist extensions, you want to begin with only one- or two-pound weights. For a more substantive tendon such as a quadricep tendon, you may start with a five-pound ankle weight.[25]
- Your physical therapist will have additional recommendations about how much weight depending upon the specifics of your injury.
- If you find the weights too difficult, you can always use less weight, no weight, or stagger the days between using the weights and not.
4Add an elastic exercise band to the motions. Elastic exercise bands are great for aiding in the rehabilitation of injured tendons because they allow you to control the amount of tension on the area, and they also increase tension toward the end of the range of motion, which is where tendons receive the most work. Place the band with a moderate amount of tension on it at the beginning of your range of motion so that extending through it increases the stretch on the band and the workload on the tendon.
- As the tendon gains strength, you can add time holding at full flexes to this routine. As with muscles, time under tension helps strengthen tendons, so pausing with the tendon at full extension—and therefore the band under the most tension—at the apex of the repetition for ten seconds will give the tendon additional exercise.
5Focus on the eccentric phase of each repetition. The eccentric phase of a repetition refers to the moment at which a muscle contracts while lengthening. For example, the eccentric phase of a dumbbell curl comes as you slowly lower the dumbbell, simultaneously elongating the muscle by straightening your arm while still actively contracting it by resisting gravity to lower the weight slowly rather than letting it drop. Focus on the eccentric phase of an exercise is often recommended for tendinopathy.[26] Though more difficult to do with bands, the use of even light dumbbells with focus on eccentrics can help to strengthen tendons.
Community Q&A
What kind of exercises can I do if I have a knee injury?Ask a doctor if you have any doubts. In general, you can do any exercise you like. Simply reduce the range of motion and the number of repeats to stay well within your pain limit. Don't force your body too quickly, and take plenty of rest to let it heal.
How to strengthen my foot tendons?wikiHow ContributorTry jumping rope, jumping jacks, running, high knees, hiking, or cycling - any aerobic exercise will help! The heel drop exercises in Step 3 can also help.
I have a near complete tear of both the infra and supra spinal tendons. Can I avoid surgery, and will they heal completely?You should see a doctor. If you are sure it's those tendons, you still need to give them total rest for a lengthy period of time, preferably immobilizing them in the right position, but that is very difficult to accomplish with a back/spine/shoulder. There is no guarantee that they will simply heal completely, and even if they do, your range of motion may well be significantly reduced afterward. Furthermore, every motion you make between now and being fully healed puts extra stress on those tendons, leading to an even longer healing time. Ask a medical expert before making your decision.
How do I strengthen my Achilles tendon after a rupture?wikiHow ContributorThe answer depends on whether or not you choose to undergo surgical reconstruction. For many years it was accepted that you must undergo reconstruction, but more recent research has brought the previous conventional wisdom under increasing levels of scrutiny. If you undergo reconstruction you will be guided through the recovery by a physical therapist who will balance the needs of protecting the repair against the process of gradually improving the flexibility and strength of the repaired muscle/tendon. It is an incredibly slow and arduous process as the potential for tearing the repaired tissue is significant. I would also suggest working with a P.T. for non-surgical recovery!
Best exercises to help a sore elbow tendon?Any exercise that rotates your elbow will do the trick. For example, raise your arms until your elbows are to the sides of your body, in one line with your shoulders, then make small circles with your hands. Increase the circles, but stop as soon as it hurts. Try rotating both your hands clockwise, then counterclockwise, it may be harder than you think! Another example is to touch one elbow with your fingers and move your hand up and down through the 'basket' that creates. Other ways to relieve soreness are warm baths, or warm cloths placed on your elbow. Immobilize if necessary, and don't forget to stretch after every workout.
- Seek the assistance of a personal trainer if you do not know how to use weight training equipment properly.
- Do not perform any exercises that are painful or uncomfortable.
- Perform weight movements over a short range of action. Moving the weights between small distances from starting and ending positions will ensure that you are not using momentum to move them, putting more emphasis on your tendons and ligaments, making them stronger.
- Do two-to-three sets of each exercise with six-to-ten repetitions of each. The most important part is to do each exercise slowly and correctly to gain the maximum benefit for strengthening tendons.
- This information is in no way meant to take the place of seeing your primary care physician and working with a physical therapist when rehabilitating injured tendons. Always consult medical professionals when dealing with injuries.
- Many tendon-strengthening exercises such as barbell squats and behind-the-neck presses can result in injury without proper form. Consult with a trainer regarding ideal technique for performing exercises with which you are not familiar.

Russian President Vladimir Putin paid a quick visit to India on Monday at a time when relations between the two nations are not in the pink of health. Over the past few years, they have, in a manner of speaking, drifted apart.
Russia's concerns revolve around its investments, and those of its firms, in India. Friction exists over India's civil nuclear liability law—especially when it comes to the nuclear power plant at Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu—and the fate of Russian company Sistema's investment in India's telecom sector. These are, however, mere surface concerns. There are deeper forces that have led to a drift in ties between Russia and India.
In the past 60-odd years, two geopolitical axes have operated in South Asia. Much of the international history of the subcontinent can be viewed from the prism of US-Pakistan and India-Russia relations. It is not wholly deterministic to say the loosening of one has led to shifts in the other. After 1991, India has tried hard to build a more robust relationship with the US. For much of the 1990s, this was not at the cost of Russia. But in the first decade of the 21st century, as the US and Pakistan have become cold to each other, ties between India and the US have grown warmer. At the same time, India's economy and domestic politics have changed greatly. Today, India is a far more liberal country at the societal level. To cite a few examples, it is quite inconceivable that government control of the Internet or of other services will be taken kindly by citizens. Globally, India's positions on key issues—military intervention in other countries on humanitarian grounds and development of a liberal international trading system—have evolved. Twenty years earlier, Indian policymakers would not have countenanced such positions.
Russia's international outlook has a tighter fit with its past. Authoritarianism at home has faithfully mirrored its relations and support for autocracies abroad, from Sudan to Syria. Russia's faith in tighter government control over society (the Internet being just one issue); a general aversion to military intervention against dictators; and a lack of belief in liberal global institutions have, to put it mildly, made India and Russia sit at different places at the international high table.
Notwithstanding all this, it is important that India and Russia take steps to arrest this drift. For one, if India loses Russian support, it will have no Great Power left as a friend in Eurasia. Geopolitically, it is important that this never happen. India should try and break from the shackles of the past, but not at the cost of a long-standing friendship.

Opera costumes snapped up
More than 15,000 garments from previous productions at the Royal Opera House went on sale to the public this weekend.
The event, which took place at the Opera House's Vilar Floral Hall on Sunday, featured costumes from four decades worth of opera and ballet.
About 7,000 people attended the sale, which was expected to raise about £250,000.
They were sold because the venue no longer has the room to store them.
"Occasionally our limited storage space necessitates that we reduce our costume inventory," explained Corinne Jones Lord, head of costume and wigs.
"This is thus a great opportunity for the public to purchase speciality items that would simply not be available otherwise."
The Opera House last held a costume sale in 1996. Visitors were also be able to buy accessories including hats, shoes, fans, gloves and head-dresses.
Costumes from such productions as Elijah Moshinky's Aida, Peter Rice's Arabella and Mark Thompson's Don Quixote will be among the highlights.
However, not everything is cheap. A dress created for a Royal Ballet production of Sleeping Beauty was sold for £275.
"I can't imagine anybody wearing it on the London Underground," said The Royal Ballet's Monica Mason, who wore the dress to play the Wicked Queen in the production.
"But certainly they're very beautifully made and they won't fall apart...you're buying something that really will last."
"Whether it is for that special fancy dress party, or just to add to your collection, these costumes are all handmade here at the Royal Opera House," said Ms Jones Lord.
"As with our last sale in 1996, we expect it to be great fun and a tremendous success."

Jet Aviation, which purchased Midcoast Aviation in 2006 and then was bought by General Dynamics last year, announced that Don Petersen is taking over as president of Midcoast Aviation and Jet Aviation's North America maintenance and completions businesses. Current president Kurt Sutterer is retiring next month after 29 years with Midcoast. He became president of Midcoast in 2004, then took over Jet Aviation's U.S. maintenance and completions operations in January after Jet Aviation COO for U.S. operations Jim Ziegler left the company. Sutterer has worked at Midcoast since 1981, starting as an inspector and then rising to manager of technical services, vice president and eventually president. The company grew from 800 to more than 2,000 employees during his tenure. New president Petersen has worked for sister company Gulfstream Aerospace since 1996, most recently as vice president and general manager for product support at Gulfstream's Appleton, Wis.; Westfield, Mass.; and Minneapolis facilities. Jet Aviation also appointed Charles Celli head of completions for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia and general manager of Jet Aviation Basel. Celli was vice president and general manager of Gulfstream's Dallas service center.

PBS Analyst Mark Shields: House Benghazi Hearings 'Will Be A Disaster'
PBS NewsHour analyst Mark Shields started with an admission on Benghazi on Friday night: "Has the White House been transparent? Absolutely not."
But he lamented that the House special committee hearings "will be a disaster. It won't be good for the country." It's only being done for the Tea Party and Fox News. Apparently, hearings are only productive and wonderful when run by liberal Democrats like Henry Waxman:
SHIELDS: In this — two sentences in a four-page memo to Susan Rice, in which they said, just emphasize the Internet video was the primary cause of the outburst, that, I think, was the road or the mile, the bridge too far for John Boehner.
John Boehner didn't want these hearings, and he had 190 Republicans sign on that they did, and he held them off because it's going to be a disaster. It will be a disaster. It won't be good for the country.
Running congressional hearings, the short list of successful congressional hearings have been run by exceptional legislators, people of great preparation, a thorough knowledge, a great staff of long time and of deep intelligence, John Dingell, Henry Waxman, Tom Davis, they did on baseball, Carl Levin, Sam Ervin.
Only Davis was a (moderate) Republican. He continued:
And the failures, where people just go out and grab a headline, get on cable news that night — and, you know, all they want to do is get Hillary Clinton up there. And each of them wants their tete-a-tete with Hillary Clinton. And I think she will knock their socks off.
But I just think it's not good for the country. It does sweeten the base for the Republican Party. The Tea Party is very energized on this. Fox News lives and dies with it. And so I think that's basically why the hearings are being held.
In his turn on NPR's All Things Considered on Friday night, pesudo-conservative analyst David Brooks proclaimed "I bow down to the science" on global warming. He wanted to insist he's no "denier" on the matter:
MELISSA BLOCK: I want to end by talking about the release this week of a dire new report on climate change. It talked about longer and hotter summers, coastal cities flooding, a lot more extreme weather, more deaths coming from all these changes and the report says it's very clear that warming is primarily the result of human activity, the burning of fossil fuels in particular. David, does this become a campaign issue and should it become one?
DAVID BROOKS, NEW YORK TIMES: I think it probably should. I mean, I bow down to the science. There seems to be a reasonable consensus, which I bow down to. Whether it's going to become a campaign issue practically, I think almost certainly not. You look at some of these vulnerable Senate races, places like Louisiana - believe me, voters in Louisiana do not want some big climate change legislation. To me, the most obvious solution is a carbon tax. That's a political nonstarter for both parties. You know, I just look at the politics of this thing and I think if there's going to be a solution, somehow it's going to come through technological innovation of the private sector because I just don't see a political solution.
BLOCK: E.J., does this report in any way change the discussion of the Keystone XL Pipeline or anything you see headed toward November?
E.J. DIONNE, WASHINGTON POST: I don't think it'll have a big impact in November, but I think it begins to change the discussion. A New York Times editorial had a nice summary of what it said. It said the Southwest will fry, the East will soak, and Alaska will keep melting. And I think the radicalization of the Republican Party has unfortunately stopped action on this.

"People try to persuade us that the objections to Christianity spring from doubt. That is a complete misunderstanding. The objections against Christianity spring from insubordination, the dislike of obedience, rebellion against all authority. As a result people have hitherto been beating the air in their struggle against objections, because they fought intellectually with doubt instead of fighting morally with rebellion."

Dr. Scott O'Mulligan is the leader of Ghost Scene Investigators, a group of paranormal investigators starring in their own reality TV show. The group is actually inspired by Mystery Inc., with Scott being the counterpart to Fred Jones; they physically resemble one another, except for hair color and outfit.
Physical appearance
He is a Caucasian male with black hair. He wears a white shirt, black shoes and neck-tie, and a grey coat and pants. At the end of the Wolf's End Lodge case, he wears an orange ascot, given to him by Fred.
Insert details here.
Scooby-Doo! Who's Watching Who?
It wasn't long until the show's manager, Mace Middlemost, brought Mystery Inc. on as rivals against GSI. After the "Ocean Land mystery", warmed up to Fred and the others, until Mace told him that Mystery Inc. was replacing GSI.
In the end, Scott and his group arrived with the Scooby gang, at Wolf's End Lodge. He, with the other GSI, was suspected to be the "Ghost Hunter Haunter"; it turned out to be their own manager. Scott admited that GSI wanted to be like Mystery Inc. and Fred gave him an ascot.

Beautiful, high quality item! The item arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition. The scent of the fabric (from washing) was also very pleasant. The tunic fits exactly as described and looks great! I'm very pleased with this purchase and the seller. Thank you!
Organic colorful hand painted jewelry, inspired by Indigenous fashion & art
My name is Lucia Flores, born and raised in the Netherlands. Since childhood I knew what I wanted to become, a fashion desinger, just like my grandmother. She taught me the real deal, real craftsmanship, from as far as I can remember. She taught me the art of traditional weaving, braiding, knitting, embroidering and of course the art of making patterns and making measured clothing.
I started my career at the age of 6, making small bags and stuffed animals. I sold them on season markets at my primary school to raise money for good purposes. By the age of 12 I drew my own patterns and made my own clothing. After finishing high school I studied finance & business and worked in a fashion company for a few years to gain experience in the fashion industry and to learn how to run a fashion business. In 2009 I started a quick study programme on a private Fashion Academy in Breda, to gain an official degree in Fashion Design and to extend my knowledge even more. In 2011 I officially opened my online business and Etsy Shop.
I am mainly inspired by culture, historical figures and folkloric art from all over the world. Mexico is one of my biggest inspirations. I love to play with colors and patterns. In each piece of my collection you will find some Mexican influences. I'm a self-professed lover of travel and life long student of international culture and art. I travelled all over the world to get inspired by different cultures and people.
I'm trying to find my way in the world of fashion and gain myself a place of recognition with my style. Whether I will make it or not, I will continue to share my ideas with the world, to hopefully be seen one day.
Hopefully Etsy will give me experiences and relationships that will continue to shape the exploration of my collection.
With love from the Netherlands,

The 'Hot in Herre' rapper explains that the drugs and weapon found on his tour bus belonged to a member of his crew, but no one was aware of 'his decision to bring these on board.'
Nelly issues a statement after heroin, weed and gun were found by cops on his tour bus during a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca recently. The rapper claims innocence, insisting the drugs and weapon did not belong to him, but a member of his entourage.
"It is my understanding a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest this morning," he says as quoted by TMZ. The culprit is identified as Brian Keith Jones and has been arrested.
"Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board," the "Hot in Herre" hitmaker continues. "Law enforcement officials did not press charges against anyone other than that individual."
In more personal notes on Twitter, he says, "I'm not gone front I'm MAD as Hell about this sh#t!!2have some1 who works 4u n who u call a friend 4 ova 10years jeopardize ur life WTF? That being said he was not only an employee but he was fam some1 who protected my life 4many years!No excuses for wad he did!!!!"
He concludes, "My heart goes out to his fam and is kids!!!!"

This was Posted by HPS Maxine Dietrich. All White Satanists need to do it!
For people who are Black there is ALSO an ongoing Ritual: Here is the link.
http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/pixie66 ... Ritual.pdf
These Rituals, for those who need to do it, are to be prioritized above all RTR's for now, for maximum effectiveness. What of course can be done is that after this is done, we all do the RTR's as they are written on the schedule, until tommorow that is. Then we will go for another one.
This Ritual has to be priorized for the day today, and tommorow. The RTR's can be done AFTER it, because the effectiveness of everything done today will be major.
You can begin this ritual at any time, preferably immediately. This ritual can be done as many times as you wish. The more the better.
13-14/November/2016, the Full Moon is in an extremely powerful aspect. This will continue for the next 2-3 days.
Ritual to Incite White Awareness and Action
Either write or carve the following Runes:
Óðal Sól Óss
The Runes can be carved into wood, or written on paper. If you carve the Runes, vibrate each Rune while you are carving it.
To increase the power of the Runes, when performing this ritual for the first time, you can stain them with your blood. Given the dire situation of our race, this ritual needs all the power we can give it. If staining in blood, this should only be done one time. You should be continuously vibrating the name of the Rune when staining it.
There are different ways of vibrating the Runes. Feel free to use whatever suits you. The combinations of everyone performing the ritual will come together in power.
To repeat this ritual, just focus on your carved or written Runes and vibrate them as follows below. Your Rune board or paper should be securely stored in a safe place and only taken out when performing this ritual.
Raise your energies. [See link below], and recite the following prayer:
In The Name of Satan, we call forth the Powers of Hell, the Original, and True Gods of the White Race to come forth and manifest themselves. Satan, True God, Almighty and Ineffable, Who hast Fathered the White Aryan Race that reflects in Thine own image and likeness, we ask you to bestow your powers upon us.
Awaken all of our White Aryan People to the Jewish menace that works to destroy us. Incite our White Aryan People into action. Instill our White Aryan Ancestral Pride. Awaken our White Aryan Brothers and Sisters to the Menace of Christianity, Islam, and related Jewish programs so that they all may be completely and thoroughly destroyed forever.
Bestow the Power of Your Protection to our White Race and White Children worldwide.
Praise, Honor and Glory be given to You, Our True Father and to Our Original Gods!! We are Your Direct Descendants and Children!!
The above prayer can be either recited out loud or in your mind.
Now, vibrate Óðal, Sól, Óss, 88 times, while focusing on your Runes. You vibrate these together, not separately. Óðal, Sól, Óss is one round, then Óðal, Sól, Óss…
When you are finished, recite the following with intent:
All White People are now racially aware
All White People are critically aware of the Jewish problem
All White People are taking action to secure the existence of our White Race
All White People are working towards a secure future for our White Children
Vibrate SATANAS
Then close the ritual by stating:
For those of you who are experienced, you can raise your energies doing whatever works for you.

Hillsborough justice campaigner Anne Williams has died after battling cancer.
Mrs Williams, 62, whose 15-year-old son Kevin died at Hillsborough, was one of the loudest voices throughout the campaigners' efforts for justice.
It was her fight to get her son's inquest verdict of accidental death overturned that is credited with leading to fresh hearings for all 96 supporters who died.
She defied doctors' expectations to attend what was her last public appearance at the Hillsborough memorial service at Anfield on Monday.
She was diagnosed with terminal cancer in October, but despite her ill health she carried on her campaign and attended a hearing at London's Royal Courts of Justice in December when the original inquest verdicts were quashed.
Speaking after the historic hearing, which she attended in a wheelchair, she thanked Attorney General Dominic Grieve for being "a man of his word" in pushing for the new inquests. She said: "I am glad we never gave up. It has been hard, but we wouldn't have been here today. I'd like a corporate manslaughter verdict in the inquest, it's the least for what they have done. God willing, I will be here, it has been a long wait to see justice. I am so glad I could be here today to hear it for myself."
Referring to the cover-up that shifted blame away from the authorities and on to the victims, she said: "I can't forgive them the extremes they went to. Why didn't they just give us the truth?"
Liverpool FC posted a statement on Twitter saying: "Liverpool Football Club was this morning saddened to hear of the death of prominent Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams. RIP Anne."
As recently as Monday, Sheila Coleman, of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, paid tribute to Mrs Williams in the Liverpool Echo. She said: "We applaud Anne's tenacity to draw on whatever reserves she has left to be here today - she is quite simply an inspiration."
Maria Eagle, MP for Liverpool Garston and Halewood, tweeted: "So very sorry to hear about Anne Williams. She was an incredible inspirational woman. #RIP."

Zero-for-Tuesday for Softball, Baseball
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- Southwestern Assemblies of God University dropped both ends of a Tuesday afternoon softball doubleheader. The SAGU baseball team also fell in a single game.
Northwood University (Tx) routed the Lady Lions, 15-2, in the softball opener to improve their record to 6-19. Three of the wins came at SAGU's expense.
The second contest was a pitcher's duel that remained tied, 3-3, before going to extra innings. The visiting Knights completed the sweep by erupting for four runs in the eighth to win the game, 7-3.
The Lady Lions slipped to their 13th straight loss. They are now 6-26 overall and 1-17 against teams in the Sooner Athletic Conference. The games were played on campus.
Northwood is 8-19 and 5-3.
A complete review of both games, along with photos, will be posted tonight.
The Baseball Lions took it on the chin against Jarvis Christian College (Tx). Trailing 3-0 in the fifth inning the Lions surrendered back-to-back four-run frames en route to an 11-1 setback.
The contest took place at the Waxahachie Sports Complex.
SAGU is now 14-17. Jarvis improved to 17-10.
The game recap will be posted tonight.

Revru's appearance is typical of any human girl. A lithe, toned body, with a fair bosom and rear. She usually wears a dark robe, to cover her body with, and always has a very annoying green imp following her. Black hair trails down her face, covering the left side of her face. She is generally a shy person, only speaking freely to her impish stalker.
Revru, the Unlucky WarlockEdit
Revru was born in Lordaeron, ten years before the attack by Arthas Menethil. Her childhood is typical of any other, filled with frolicking and happiness. However, when the Scourge came, her family's home was burned to the ground. She would have died with her whole family as well, however she was teleported away, by a small imp who had taken a liking to her. Fearful of the fel, she tried to evade the demonic imp, spending ten years trying to get away. And then she figured it out. This annoying, rude, perverted imp's soul was bound to her own. So, with that, she found the imp, and chose to take him in, if he would teach her the ways of the Warlock. Alas, the imp does not know much, and her hunger for knowledge yearns for more. Now, she seeks to find a more powerful warlock to teach her.
((I plan to make her a worgen in Cata. Knowing her luck, she'll be bitten by a drunken Worgen, in Stormwind. ^^))

Rise Of The Guardians Clip Online
Everyone loves the sleigh!
If you've seen either of the trailers for DreamWorks Animation's Rise Of The Guardians, you know it promises to be a wild ride as well as a big adventure. And talking of rides, the first proper clip from the film features the titular team going for a jaunt on Santa's sleigh. Check it out above.
Guardians sees Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Pine) recruited to join North (aka Father Christmas, played by Alec Baldwin), Bunnymund (Hugh Jackman's Easter Bunny), Tooth (Isla Fisher as the Tooth Fairy) and the silent, sweet Sandman as they fight against the ancient evil that is Pitch (Jude Law).
The battleground is the entire world, and under threat are the imaginations and sweet dreams of children everywhere. So the stakes are high and the challenge is huge.
This scene shows the winning chemistry between the various fairytale and other folk – especially between Baldwin's North and Jackman's moody Bunnymund.
Rise Of The Guardians arrives on November 30, directed by Peter Ramsey and exec-produced by none other than Guillermo del Toro. Check out one of the trailers below.

AN EARLY start to the third day of racing at the French World Cup regatta seemed to have no ill-effects on Britain's Star, Sonar and 49er sailors, nor Portland's Alison Young who extended her lead in the Laser Radial fleet.
Young once again revelled in the breezy conditions, picking up a two and one from her two races in the yellow fleet to extend her lead to four points over Australia's Krystal Weir, with world champion Marit Bouw-meester in third.
"It definitely gets harder from here going into the gold fleet," said Young, looking ahead to the rest of the regatta. "There are four races and the medal race to go, so still a lot of racing. I just need to be consistent for the remaining races.
"The legs are keeping it together," she said of the physical conditions. "It would be good to have a bit more light wind racing, to make it a bit more of a thinking game, but we'll take whatever we get."
Fellow 2012 hopeful Charlotte Dobson, from Weymouth, also had a strong day in the Radial blue fleet, posting five and two to see her up to fifth overall and within reach of the podium spots.
Tuesday at the French Olympic Sailing Week in Hyeres signalled a return to strong wind conditions and a 9am start for a number of classes, with event organisers anxious to ensure some racing before the breeze became too much, with gusts of up to 35 knots witnessed during the afternoon.
The Star and Sonar classes were among the first to race, with Skandia Team GBR's Iain Percy and Sher-borne's Andrew Simpson closing in on the Canadian event leaders in the Star, Richard Clarke and Tyler Bjorn, by winning what turned out to be the only race of the day.
In the Paralympic Sonar event, Portland's John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Steve Thomas put their 12th from race three on Monday behind them by adding another win to their scorecard to pull them into the top three after four races.
Stodel, who will race for ParalympicsGB this summer with Robertson and Thomas, has been enjoying the windy conditions experienced so far in Hyeres.
She said: "It's been a while since we actually sailed in this kind of breeze, so it's nice to come back and put the boat through its paces. We've brought the new boat here and are testing a few things, and I'm pleased to say it's going well.
"It was honking today – we managed to pull away from the fleet and stay clear to win the race, so we're happy.
"The nine o'clock start was not ideal," Stodel admitted. "People don't realise that we're not Laser sailors and we can't roll out of bed five minutes beforehand and just throw a wetsuit on. Unfortunately for John that meant a 4.30am start this morning so I think he's feeling it now."
Stodel added: "This week we're just working on all the stuff we've been training with – the new things on the boat, testing some sails, and hopefully this is going to be the cut off regatta that we're going to have everything ready for the Games, so it's nice to put everything through its paces really.
"We're keeping an eye out on the competition, but it's mainly equipment focus for us – it's nice to be racing anyway."
Skandia Team GBR's 49er sailors made the best of their only race of the day, with Dave Evans and Ed Powys crossing the line with a sizeable winning margin, but just behind them in that race were Beijing Olympians Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes who top the leaderboard by one point after five races.
John Pink and Rick Peacock are fifth overall with a seventh from their race, Evans and Powys are up to 12th, with Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign in 16th.
By early afternoon, any further prospect of racing for most classes had been abandoned – GBR's women's match racing trio, plus the 2.4mR and SKUD sailors never left the shore.
Skandia Team GBR's development squad sailors showed their promise in the RS:X Women's and Laser events – Izzy Hamilton is 14th overall, while Alex Mills Barton is 19th in the Laser class with a six and seven for his efforts.
Racing at the French Olympic Sailing Week continues until Friday.

ATHENS (FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men) - Slovenia had to survive a terrific comeback by Korea to win 88-76 on the first day of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Athens.
Captain Rasho Nesterovic, who will retire from the national team after this summer, had 26 points to lead his team to victory while Kim Joo Sung paced the Koreans with 21.
Nesterovic and Co looked to be on course for an easy triumph after opening up a 21-point lead in the third quarter.
But Korea coach Kim Nam-gi kept his players fully focused and they trimmed the deficit to just five in the final period.
When Oh Sekeun banked in a 10-footer to cut the gap to 72-67, the Slovenians had to call a timeout to stem the tide.
Once play resumed, Korea had two chances to reduce the deficit even more but failed.
Slovenia then struck twice.
Jaka Lakovic penetrated into the lane and scored before Goran Dragic came up with a steal and sprinted ahead of the Korean defense for a fast-break lay-up and a nine-point advantage.
Kim Minsoo banked in a three-pointer to make it 76-70 with 3:21 to play but Korea got no closer.
"Korea have a very good team," Dragic said.
"We didn't know too much about them and they came back but the important thing is that we won."
Korea center Ha Seung Jin, who spent most of his time in the NBA on the bench with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks before choosing to return to Asia to play, said: "We just haven't played many internationals but we'll get better.
"This team is definitely going to be better in the future and we'll do our best against Canada."
Canada coach Leo Rautins and his staff were in the stands looking on and will have noticed the Koreans' 11 of 21 effort from three-point range.
Six different Koreans, in fact, hit three-pointers led by Kim Minsoo's three of five performance.
Meanwhile, the 2.22m Ha – the biggest player at the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament - expressed his desire to go to back and play in the NBA and live in America because of the "bigger cars and bigger shoes".
Slovenia's Dragic wasn't sure if he'd make it over this year.
"I don't know," Dragic said.
San Antonio drafted me but then traded me to Phoenix, and there would also have to be a buyout at my club, Tau (Ceramica).
"It would be great to play in Phoenix and learn from a point guard like Steve Nash. We'll see."
