Passport Transport
If your classic car has suffered weather- or flood-related damage that's made extensive repair necessary, or if you need to move it to higher ground to avoid such damage, you may have recently found yourself in need of vehicle transportation for your classic. Choosing a competent carrier and being prepared go a long way toward reducing the stress and worry that go with sending your vehicle off with a stranger.
It's easy to find auto-transport companies online or in publications like Hemmings Motor News and Sports Car Market, but how do you choose a trustworthy company? Ask around. Major auction companies, museums, restorers, local car club members and other collectors are all good sources for recommendations. It is essential to use a company experienced with collector vehicles so that they use nylon straps or wheel nets to prevent damage to the chassis and are careful about low ground clearance or very tall cars that might not clear the trailer roof or upper deck.
Never base your decision solely on price. Most reputable carriers have similar cost structures and, with few exceptions, an unusually low price is a bad sign. The easiest way to size up a transport company is to ask how long they've been hauling cars. You can also visit the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's website at safersys.org to look up a company's safety record and insurance status.
You'll need to decide whether you want your car to travel in an open or enclosed trailer. Open transport is less expensive, but unless you're hauling a car in need of restoration, you're better off going with closed transport since the risk of damage to your classic is much lower. And keep in mind, most open trailers aren't equipped with a winch for non-running vehicles, and carriers sometimes charger exorbitant fees to load inoperable cars. No matter which carrier and option you choose, it's important to understand and agree on all fees up front.
When it comes to insurance, a carrier is liable only for its own acts of negligence and is not responsible for unforeseeable acts of nature. That's why it's important to makes sure your car is covered with agreed value coverage from a company that specializes in collector car insurance before transporting it.
Keep in mind that auto transport is not a regularly scheduled service like airplane or train travel. When you place your transport order, the dispatcher must assemble a load of up to six cars, including your vehicle, and route a truck. Depending on your location and time of year, this may take anywhere from several days to several weeks. The minute you hear of an impending storm, start calling from a list of carriers you have ready in advance. In such cases, it might be best to work with a smaller local transporter who might be more able to fit you in on short notice.
Once you've booked transportation for your classic, you'll need to prepare it for pickup. One of the best things you can do is make sure the car is clean, so it's easier for you and the carrier to do a proper inspection. This helps avoid damage claim problems.
You'll also want to provide written instructions regarding anything the person handling your vehicle will need to know, including information about battery and fuel cut-off switches, hidden switches, alarm instructions and any other "tricks" to starting and running your car. It's recommended that you only have your tank half full and charge batteries to avoid additional fees for winching. Don't leave loose articles in the vehicle or trunk, which can be damaged or cause damage to your car, and be sure your antifreeze level is adequate for the climate at both ends of the trip to avoid a cracked engine block.
When your car is picked up, the driver will inspect it and note any pre-existing damage. Upon delivery, you or a trusted representative will want to perform a similar inspection. Before signing off on the delivery, make sure to note any damage in case you need to submit a claim.
Choosing the reputable transporter will help ensure your classic gets from one place to another safe, sound and within a reasonable amount of time. Here's a short list of top-quality transporters to get you started:

The Atlantic hurricane season takes place every year from the 1st of June to the 30th of November . This year, activity in the Atlantic basin began unusually early with the development of Hurricane Alex in the eastern Atlantic in January. The National Hurricane Center said it was the earliest hurricane to form in the Atlantic since 1938.
The International Charter: Space and Major Disasters was activated on 15 October 2014 to provide satellite-based information on Hurricane Gonzalo in Bermuda. The mechanism was activated by UK Cabinet Office CCS on behalf of Bermuda Gov.
The International Space Station-Rapid Scatterometer (ISS-RapidScatt) was installed on 1 October 2014 as a means to improve the global monitoring of ocean winds.
Some days before Hurricane Arthur hit North Carolina coast on 4 July 2014, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) posted a forecast map on their web site, enhancing
Several satellites kept track and monitored Hurricane Arthur from the initial phases to the development of a Hurricane and to a post-tropical storm.
On 29 June 2014, a low-pressure area in the center east of Florida developed. That area evolved afterward into Tropical Depression 1, captured on June 30 by the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite.
A recent study conducted by Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the Stanford University, Cristina Archer and Willett Kempton of the University of Delaware, shows that offshore wind farms could have sapped the power of three real life hurricanes.
Two NASA satellites have recently captured images of the Tropical Storm Chantal over the Atlantic Ocean revealing heavy rainfall and powerful thunderstorms. On July 8, NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite saw the heaviest rainfall of Tropical Storm happening at a rate of over 115.5 mm (~4.5 inches) per hour near the center of Chantal.
The International Charter: Space and Major Disasters was activated twice in the context of Hurricane Sandy - the largest Atlantic tropical storm system on record. UNITAR/UNOSAT on behalf of UNOCHA activated the mechanism on 29 October 2012 for Haiti. Hurricane Sandy tore through the Caribbean between 26-28 October, leaving a reported 51 dead in Haiti and another 15 missing.

To view / download "Decades of Youth" Infographic and "Meet the Founders" Summary and Pictorial, click here (http://bit.ly/1LM1FgO).
New York, NY – December 2, 2015 – MTV today revealed the findings of a study it conducted with members of the generation born following 2001 – commonly referred to as "Gen Z" – to answer the simple question, "If you had the opportunity to name your own generation, what would you call it?"
Over the course of multiple in-person and virtual creative ideation sessions with more than 500 potential names brainstormed, MTV fielded a nationwide survey of more than 1000 13- and 14-year-olds that officially crowned "The Founder Generation" as its top choice. The study revealed this generation's feeling that, following on the heels of the disruption seen during the advent of the Millennials, the Founder Generation will be tasked with building a new social order.
"The name 'Gen Z' has always seemed like a bit of placeholder to us – it doesn't convey any sense of identity for this generation – so we thought, 'Why not ask them to name themselves?" said Jane Gould, Senior Vice President of MTV Insights. "As it turns out, not only do these kids have a clear identity, they have a stunningly intuitive sense of the changing times they've been born into, and the huge opportunity that lies ahead to make new history."
What we know about The Founder Generation…
The Founders are the most diverse and accepting generation in history as births of people of color continue to outpace white births in the U.S. (since 2011) and gender fluidity is becoming increasingly accepted.
* 90 percent of 13-14 year olds say: "my generation is going to start a new society where diversity is accepted and encouraged" * 91 percent of 13-14 year olds say: "technology has helped my generation understand people who are different in terms of race, religion and sexuality"
They are the post-9/11 generation (almost all are born after September 11, 2001) and have never known a world where terrorism isn't a real domestic threat.
They don't know a world without YouTube and mainstream social networking sites that offer constant connection and where idols are entirely self-made.
They've been swiping screens since birth and their birth announcements were likely on social media.
They feel very strongly that they are laying a foundation for a new future.
* 91 percent of 13-14 year olds say: "I'm optimistic our generation can build a better world"
A common theme that emerged during the naming process was a generation much more pragmatic and focused on rehabilitating the world around them, which was reflected in the top five names from MTV's survey results from 1,047 13-14 year olds in rank order:
1. The Founder Generation – founding a whole new world 2. The Bridge Generation – bridging the gap between the old and new world 3. The Builder Generation – building a new world 4. The Regenerator Generation – regenerating the world as we know it 5. The Navigator Generation – navigating the new world for older generations
The MTV research found significant differences between the emerging Founders and Millennials, who are best known for championing LGBT and racial equality as well as upending entire industries from music to hospitality, transportation (taxis), media and more.
MTV's "The Founders Generation" study was conducted in partnership with Red Peak Youth, the youth-focused unit of strategic branding agency Red Peak Branding. The research included creative qualitative groups fielded locally and virtual creative exercises with young people around the country to talk about what differentiates them from other generations and what they'd name themselves. In addition, the study included a quantitative nationwide survey of 1,047 13-14 years-olds.

Prometheus is punished by being strapped down on a mountain and either an eagle or a vulture is eating out his heart or liver, and the organ constantly grown back, so Promethius is tortured forever.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy are forecast to move toward the Tennessee Valley from the Texas/Louisiana coast later this week. With abundant moisture in place across the region, widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected through early Saturday morning. Rainfall totals during this time will be between 3 and 4 inches, with isolated higher amounts possible. Depending on how quickly this rainfall occurs, Flash Flooding is possible during this time. As runoff occurs across the area, River Flooding is also expected by the weekend and may linger into early next week. There is still some uncertainty regarding this weather situation for the Tennessee Valley through the weekend. Any change in strength or track of Cindy may change rainfall amounts, timing, or the potential for strong to severe storms. Current soil moisture values across the area are rather saturated in the shallow levels near the surface, on the order of ~50%. Deeper- layer soil moisture values are a bit drier, on the order of ~40%, so we may be able to absorb a couple of inches of rainfall initially from this system, which may help lessen the flooding threat. That said, it all depends on how quickly the bulk of the rain falls. A Flood or Flash Flood Watch may be issued for portions or all of North Alabama and portions of Southern Middle Tennessee by Thursday or Friday, so stay tuned for the latest forecast information or changes!

West Australian Premier
Fixing congestion has become a focal point in WA, and both major political parties have committed to spend heavily on roads and railways.
But WA's revenue growth is slowing and the government must deliver higher surpluses to offset volatile mining royalty income.
Mr Barnett promised to build the railway but matched the construction timetable set out in Labor's plan. Construction would start next year and be completed by 2018, he said.
His commitment is in stark contrast to the release six months ago of the government's preferred route for the airport rail line. The government had then expected construction to take place between 2021 and 2031.
Labor floated plans to build a $732 million airport railway in December as part of its ambitious $3.8 billion Metronet plan.
The Liberal Party thinks Metronet will cost as much as $6.4 billion and that Labor's railway plan underestimates the complexity of construction and is likely to cost $1.6 billion.
Recent polling shows that, although Labor leader
On Sunday, Mr McGowan tried to exploit Mr Barnett's broken 2008 election promise to build a rail line to Ellenbrook in Perth's north-eastern suburbs. "The Liberal Party will simply break this promise because they have no credibility on public transport," he said. "They have been panicked into this announcement because of the success of WA Labor's Metronet integrated public transport plan."
Mr Barnett said his proposal needed federal funding. "The Commonwealth will contribute," he said. "We will fund this. Make no mistake."
The project includes building three new train stations to also connect residents in eastern suburbs to the city.
Mr Barnett said the Liberal plan would deliver passengers to the airport's "front door", unlike the Labor proposal, which would use shuttle buses to ferry passengers from its train station, to be built about a kilometre from the airport.
Mr Barnett attacked Mr McGowan's admission that he did not support the Gillard government's carbon tax.
Mr McGowan said he did not support the tax but did support an emissions trading scheme.
"Mark McGowan has, I presumed, supported the federal Labor position or has just sat on the fence," Mr Barnett said. "Now in an election campaign suddenly he doesn't support the carbon tax. It's just not credible."
The carbon and mining taxes are unpopular in the resource-rich state.
Prime Minister
It is also unclear if former prime minister
Deputy Opposition Leader
"If Kevin wants to apply for a job I'll judge it against the others who are applying for that same position," she told Sky News on Sunday.
"But certainly he has talents and ability and experience in foreign policy that shouldn't be wasted and I think that former prime ministers usually have a contribution to make."

But in the increasingly complex world of transportation, making good on that promise takes a great deal of hard work -- and some serious IT.
[ See the full list of this year's InfoWorld 100 winners, as well as the other Top 10 finalists ]
And to help ensure those on-time deliveries, Con-way turned to Suranjana Chattopadhyay to bring its Step Saver initiative to life.
Before Step Saver, Con-way dock coordinators spent at least two hours manually determining the best-choice dock door out of the 200 in a typical Con-way FAC (freight assembly center) for every trailer to use on arrival. Factor in the time necessary to map out the most efficient paths for each forklift to unload and load freight, and you can see how difficult it can be to ensure on-time delivery.
Just to begin configuring those forklift operations, says Chattopadhyay, you had to know the expected arrival times for each trailer, note how many were arriving at approximately the same time, and calculate how many forklifts and forklift movements would be required for each delivery. Plus, you would have to take into account the weight of the shipment, as well as the configuration and location of each dock, then project what the best load for each outgoing trailer would be.
In other words, Step Saver was the perfect task to optimize using IT.
To get the job done, Step Saver leverages an array of development tools, including Java, CA Gen, IBM WebSphere Information Integrator Replication Edition V8.2, Tibco Application Integration Suite, Flux Java Job Scheduling, C++, and iText.
The actual "optimizer" is a model written in C++.
The optimizer completes its task in less than two minutes. Using an SOA architecture, the optimizer integrates with Con-way's trailer-tracking applications, which monitor the actual location of any given tractor trailer and its estimated time of arrival. Combined, these two systems keep coordinators abreast of the latest delivery information, and if trailer arrival times skew en route, the optimizer reconfigures dock-door assignments.
By minimizing the distance between arriving and departing trailers, fewer steps are necessary in transferring loads, resulting in a 5.6 percent improvement in pounds handled per man-hour. This alone translates into $3 million in annual savings.
Moreover, Step Saver has reduced forklift usage by 21 percent in its first six months, resulting in additional savings on fuel, maintenance, and tire wear.
Overall planning time has been cut by 38 percent, or 44 minutes per shift, allowing coordinators to focus on other issues that have not yet been automated.
Due to Step Saver, CIO Barretta says, trucks are on the road faster, invoices can be sent out sooner, and customers are even happier.

52 Weeks To Better Genealogy
Amy Coffin of the fabulous We Tree blog, has done it again. Last year, Amy developed a series of 52 Weekly Genealogy Blogging Prompts which kept folks very busy and forced them to look at many different aspects of their genealogy.
Now Amy brings us 52 Weeks To Better Genealogy: a series of weekly prompts that are a bit more challenging and are geared towards those new to the field of genealogy and family history as well as those who want to brush up on some skills which might be a bit rusty.
- Watch Roots Television. This is a wonderful web site that has the look and feel of a genealogy television channel online. You can watch episodes on various genealogy topics right on your computer. Your challenge this week is quite easy. Watch Roots Television and enjoy. The goal is to practice continuing genealogy education through video. If you're a blogger, write about one or more of the episodes. What did you learn? Did the video touch on an aspect of your own genealogy research?
We'll list a new challenge each Saturday which should be completed by the following Friday.
And remember – as Amy says – these should be fun exercises! Don't feel that you have to participate each week, nor should you beat yourself up if you miss one or more challenges. We all have so much that we want to accomplish – let alone what we want to accomplish with our genealogy blogs. This series should be one which, by the end of 2010, helps you to be a better genealogist.
GeneaBloggers Calendar
And don't forget to check out other upcoming events at the Geneabloggers Calendar. This is the same Google calendar that has been in existence for quite some time. And if you subscribe to the calendar you'll receive email reminders of events.

Outer House case considering the interpretation of missives for a property in Melrose. Pinecraven sought damages and interest from Mr and Mrs Taddei as a result of their failure to settle the transaction. Mr and Mrs Taddei argued that there was no concluded contract.
The crux of the Taddeis' argument was that Pinecraven's offer to sell contained a time limit for acceptance after which the offer would be null and void. Whilst the Taddeis' qualified acceptance arrived within the time limit, as it contained a qualification, it was not an acceptance of the offer. Consequently, Pinecraven's subsequent letter concluding the bargain had no effect.
Lord Kinclaven rejected the Taddeis' arguments finding that, although the acceptance was qualified, it was still an acceptance within the meaning of the clause containing the time limit. Even if that were not the case, the Taddeis' qualified acceptance was a counter offer which was capable of acceptance within a reasonable time, and indeed, was so accepted by Pinecraven's letter concluding the bargain. As a result it was found that there was a concluded contract between the parties.
The full text of the decision is available from the Scottish Courts website here.

2009-10 Team Preview: Toronto Maple Leafs
Dave Sandford/Getty Images
By Pierre LeBrun
GM Brian Burke is in charge of the Big Blue, and in less than a year, he's already brought a ton of change to Canada's favorite losers. If the Habs are the Yankees of hockey, the Maple Leafs are certainly the Cubs.
It's 42 years and counting since the Stanley Cup was paraded in Toronto. The last playoff game at Air Canada Centre was in April 2004 -- five and a half years ago -- when Jeremy Roenick's overtime winner lifted the Philadelphia Flyers past the Leafs and into the second round. Yep, that was a long time ago.
But Burke is here to change all that. More than half the roster has been turned over since last season's trade deadline, and he's not even close to being done.
Here are 10 things you need to know about the Leafs this season:
1. No rebuilding here
Leafs fans hoping for a patient, five-year rebuilding process will be greatly disappointed. Burke isn't going that route. He's retooling, not rebuilding.
"You shouldn't have to go five years," Burke told ESPN.com. "The Pittsburgh model or the Ottawa model, where you pick in the top three [of the draft] three years in a row, that was a pre-cap model. With the enhanced free agency, you should be able to assemble a team.
"And we don't have to beg players to play in Toronto. I think it's the best hockey town on the planet. So when we went after free agents this summer, we got them. Nobody said they didn't want to play here. We've got a great coach, a great building, the best practice facility in the National Hockey League; we have great travel. We didn't have any trouble getting the guys we wanted."
2. Playoffs? Playoffs?
Cue the Jim Mora clip. But the Leafs aren't scared to say the P-word. They believe they have a shot.
"We've been very open about it," Burke said. "Our goal is to make the playoffs; that's our intention. We think this team is good enough. No bold predictions, but we believe we're good enough this year to make the playoffs, and that's our goal."
3. Welcome, Mr. Kessel
Burke was chasing Phil Kessel for months, and the stubborn Irishman got his way, acquiring the 36-goal scorer from the Boston Bruins on the eve of the NHL season. The 21-year-old winger is still recovering from shoulder surgery and hopes to return in November. But he's a major piece added to a team that desperately needed an offensive boost. He's also a young gun who will be part of this Leafs core for years to come.
4. Bay Street Bullies
The Leafs may or may not make the playoffs this season, but one thing is for sure: They won't get pushed around. Say hello to tough guy Colton Orr, rugged blueliner Garnet Exelby, tough-as-nails forward Wayne Primeau and prized free-agent defensemen Francois Beauchemin and Mike Komisarek, two guys who aren't shy about dropping the gloves. Throw in holdover tough guy Andre Deveaux, physical winger Jamal Mayers and always-game-to-go sophomore blueliner Luke Schenn, and you've got the Bay Street Bullies.
"It's part of how of my teams play," said Burke, whose 2007 Cup-champion Anaheim Ducks led the NHL in fighting majors. "It shouldn't surprise anybody who has watched me build teams in the past, and it shouldn't surprise anybody who has watched my press conferences. I don't think you can be effective without a physical presence.
"I know people say Pittsburgh won without a physical presence, but Pittsburgh can put the equivalent of a first-team All-Star at center on every other shift. Other people will say Detroit won without [a physical edge]; I say, 'OK, someone replicate a team that's big and highly skilled and has the puck all night.'"
5. Blue-line upgrade
The additions of Komisarek, Beauchemin and Exelby bolstered a blue line that already included Schenn, Tomas Kaberle, Mike Van Ryn, Jeff Finger, Ian White and Jonas Frogren. It's as deep as any in the Eastern Conference.
"I've always built my teams from the blue line out," Burke said. "One reason we gave up so many goals last season is that we were in our own end of the rink all night. The thinking is, we have some really good first-pass defensemen now with Schenn, Komisarek, Beauchemin [not to mention Kaberle] -- these are guys that get it and get it out."
Look for Burke to deal one of his blueliners at some point. He has too many able-bodied defensemen.
6. Stop the puck
Vesa Toskala was never 100 percent in net last season, and it showed with a subpar season. Swedish sensation Jonas "The Monster" Gustavsson arrives with a great amount of hype.
"What we have now is a healthy goaltender and a legitimate backup that we'll play without hesitation at all," Burke said. "That right there is a major upgrade."
Toskala is in the last year of his deal and could be trade bait if the Leafs are out of the playoff mix come the March 3 trade deadline.
7. Forward thinking
Jason Blake led the Leafs in scoring last season with 63 points (25 goals-38 assists), good for 54th among overall NHL leaders. On the surface, there's a real lack of goals in this forward group. Hence the Kessel acquisition.
But the hope is that guys such as Mikhail Grabovski, Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Nikolai Kulemin and John Mitchell will find more offense now that they're better protected by the newly added beef in the lineup.
"I want to see what they can do when we're not in our own end all night and they actually have room to maneuver," Burke said. "So I'm counting on internal improvement to make up for the goal scoring we lost in [Nik] Antropov and [Dominic] Moore."
8. Kill, kill, kill
The Leafs were dead last in the NHL last season in penalty killing at 74.7 percent. The blue-line additions, better goaltending and a new penalty killer up front in Primeau should help improve that dismal statistic this season.
9. Olympic exposure
Well, it starts at the top on this team, with both Burke and coach Ron Wilson doubling as the GM/coach tandem for Team USA. Will the fans at Air Canada Centre give them a warm send-off just before the Olympic break to wish them the best in Vancouver? Doubt it. Toronto players with Olympics possibilities include Kaberle (Czech Republic), Komisarek (USA), Beauchemin (Canada), Kessel (USA), Grabovski (Belarus), Hagman (Finland) and Toskala (Finland).
10. A scheduling note
Toronto's first big test of the season will come during a five-game road trip Oct. 24-31 in Vancouver, Anaheim, Dallas, Buffalo and Montreal. The Leafs will need to travel to western Canada twice instead of taking care of the Canucks, Oilers and Flames in one trip like other years; the Leafs play in Edmonton on Dec. 30 and Calgary on Jan. 2.

Playoffs: 28-24
Stanley Cup titles: 0
• Ron Wilson enters his second season behind the Leafs bench, having gotten the most he could out of a brutal lineup last season.
He set the tone last season by benching or scratching any player regardless of name or pedigree, sending a message that things would be done right or else. Wilson has a great relationship with his GM and probably has more say in player-personnel matters than the average NHL coach.
F -- Phil Kessel
• The 36-goal scorer won't be ready until November at the earliest.
F -- Mikhail Grabovski
• When he's not trying to fight fellow Belarus natives, he's not bad.
F -- Jason Blake
• Led the team in scoring last season but was left off Team USA's Olympic camp roster..
D -- Tomas Kaberle
• The silky smooth puck-mover survived a summer of trade rumors.
D -- Mike Komisarek
• The hard-hitting U.S. Olympic hopeful could be a future captain of the Leafs.
Best Bet: Jonas Gustavsson, G: A stone wall in the Swedish Elite League last season, Gustavsson comes to a Toronto team that is lacking in offense, but blessed with a solid defense. When we say stonewall, we mean stonewall. Gustavsson posted a 1.96 goals-against average in the regular season, and a 1.03 goals-against average in the playoffs as his team won the Elitserien. He allowed 14 goals in 13 postseason games with five shutouts. That's why they call him "The Monster." Don't get too carried away though, as the all-time record holder for career goals-against average in the Elitserien (with more than 100 games played) is Henrik Lundqvist (2.02), followed by Fredrik Norrena (2.06) and then Gustavsson (2.10). We know Lundqvist has experienced some success, but Norrena is also an example of failure by a talented Swedish goaltender. Vesa Toskala will get the majority of work, but Gustavsson's peripheral numbers will be more helpful in fantasy.
Risky Move: Phil Kessel, F: Kessel's breakout season is a sign of superstar things to come for the winger, but not this season. He is out until possibly November after shoulder surgery, after which he'll come back to his new home in Toronto and have to find chemistry with his new teammates. The good news is he'll immediately become the Maple Leafs' best forward and will get all the ice time he can handle, so he still deserves to be drafted. Just don't expect more than 50 games out of him this season.• Player projections | 2009-10 Fantasy Draft Kit

Dear Economics Classroom Participants:
I am the Colorado State University instructor for the Economics
Classroom Annenberg course. As you know, this is a new class, and I
have been viewing videos of the workshops each week--the same as you. I
have worked on projects in the past to develop "active-learning" lessons
for high school economics, and so at the outset of this class I was very
curious to find out how good the workshops would be. Now, after seeing
several of them, I can say that I am quite impressed with the quality.
The focus is clearly on how to make your classroom more exciting to
students with concrete, and I believe, very practical examples of
simulations and activities. I would love to hear your opinion of the
workshops. And if you have any questions or comments about any specific
portion of the workshops, I would be happy to respond to those, too.

Gold Coast have received a huge boost for Friday night's NRL clash with the Bulldogs with Titans stars Scott Prince and Beau Champion both cleared to play.
Prince (biceps) and Champion (hamstring) passed fitness tests at training this morning, much to the delight of coach John Cartwright who will reshuffle his backline to accommodate the pair's return.
Their late inclusion allows Cartwright the chance to field a near full-strength line-up against the in-form Bulldogs, who smashed hapless Parramatta 46-12 last round.
"Princey got through it (training) and I doubt there'll be any hiccups and at this stage he'll take his place," said Cartwright.
"If Beau pulls up ok in the morning (Friday) he'll play as well."
"I think it's close to the first time they (our best players) have all been on the field together."

Sam Powell Wagner
24 Nov 1944 — Saipan, Mariana Islands
Sam Powell Wagner born 1 May 1918 in Charleston, Tallahatchie County, Mississippi.
Graduated with the United States Military Academy Class of 1942 at West Point, New York and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps.

Turkey rejects 2005 for EU talks
The leader of Turkey's new governing party, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has rejected a proposal to give the country a conditional start date of 2005 for its membership talks with the European Union.
Speaking on television, Mr Erdogan said Turkey has been waiting for more than 40 years at Europe's door and that history would not forgive a new delay.
The two countries suggest that EU leaders meet at the end of 2004 to evaluate the progress on political reforms and human rights in Turkey.
Turkey argues it has met most of the conditions set for membership talks, and has challenged the EU to prove it is not just a Christian club.
Turkey, which applied for membership in 1987 but was only formally declared a candidate 12 years later, wants EU leaders to give it a firm date to start membership talks at the forthcoming summit on enlargement in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Muslim majority
Of the candidate countries to enter the union, the mainly Muslim country is the only one that has so far failed to open accession talks, prompting accusations from Ankara that European leaders are discriminating against Turkey.
Mr Erdogan argued that Turkey came closer to meeting the criteria for membership than the other candidate countries.
"Whether or not the EU takes us in, we are meeting the Copenhagen criteria to elevate the living standards of our people. That is our real aim. We won't stop because they don't admit us," Mr Erdogan said in a television interview late on Thursday.
"We will ask that [the deadline] does not extend beyond 2003," he said.
In August, Turkey adopted a number of major reforms intended to boost its EU credentials, among them the abolition of the death penalty and increased freedoms for the Kurdish minority.

JERUSALEM (May. 20)
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (J.C.B.) will be glad to answer inquiries for further information about any of the news items contained in this Bulletin.
Great Britain is obliged to help the Arabs in the establishment of a Pan-Arab union, according to an appeal by King Hussein of the Hedjaz, addressed to the Arab communities of Arabia, Mesopotamia, Palestine and Transjordania, and received by the Arab Executive Committee here.
"Under the new treaty concluded between Great Britain and Iraque the British Government has recognized our rights to an Arab allience, and, moreover, is obliged to help us", declares King Hussein who is said to be a lineal descendent of Mohamed.
The Arab leaders have issued a proclamation incorporating the King's solemn appeal and calling upon the Arabs to celebrate the day of the signing of the treaty of Iraque as an Arab national holiday.
The Legislative Council, which was to have been elected by the Palestine voters not having been formed, owing largely to Arab opposition, the Palestine Government has decided to reconstitute the Advisory Council appointed by Sir Herbert Samuel soon after his assumption of office of High Commissioner.

Cardion AB Motoracing will give World Supersport race winner Luca Scassa his MotoGP debut at the upcoming Aragon Grand Prix.

- CrashTV

Cardion AB Motoracing has announced that World Supersport front runner Luca Scassa has been lined up to replace the injured Karel Abraham for the Aragon Grand Prix.
Following the confirmation that Abraham will skip the remainder of the 2013 MotoGP World Championship season due to a shoulder injury sustained at the Indianapolis Grand Prix, a replacement has been sought in the form of Scassa.
A former Italian Superbike Champion, the 30-year-old has also competed in the World Superbike and British Superbike Championships in recent years, though he has enjoyed much of his success at World Supersport level where he was a three-time race winner in 2011.
Having returned to the series with Intermoto Kawasaki this year, Scassa is currently sixth in the standings with two rounds to go, his best finish of third position coming at Motorland Aragon, where he will make his MotoGP debut next weekend.
"Luca has ridden more than fifty races in WSBK and he has enough experiences to run on the MotoGP bike and to jump to the championship" said team owner Karel Abraham Sr. "It was important for us to find a rider, who can manage so specific a machine as the MotoGP bike is and who knows the circuits where next five races will take place.
As it stands, Scassa's deal is in place for the Aragon event only, though Abraham says a successful event could lead to him seeing out the season with the CRT team.
"The first race waiting for us is next weekend in Aragon, where Luca achieved this year?s best result in WSS. Our aim is to get Luca feel comfortable with the bike and try to improve the lap time step by step during the weekend. Then we will decide if we will continue together also in remaining races."

Love webOS, but had to send it back. :-(
Gawain has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
WebOS is a diamond in the rough. It is, by far, the most underrated OS on the market. I hope HP continues thorough development of it because if they can solve the problem I was having with the Pre 2 and fix it in time for the Pre 3 it will be a very serious contender for replacing my BlackBerry.
The PIM integration of the OS is unmatched. It was able to aggregate my info from various sources (Exchange, Yahoo!, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc) into its contacts and it worked flawlessly. Email worked very well across services I use. All-in-all, the operability, and overall experience with the OS is a 10/10. The keyboard was surprisingly quick to adjust to (coming from the gold standard BB), and the screen responsive without being too sensitive. The size of the overall device is nice.
Middle-of-the-road issues, visual voicemail was is not available for this device from VZW. Also, VZ Navigator will not transmit its spoken directions via bluetooth the way it did on my BB. The battery is small, and heavy data will use it quickly. These were things I was prepared to live with because the rest of the experience was so awesome, except...
The IM client. Completely inconsistent performance (Gchat) and non-functional with Y! IM. Even Palm Tier 3 support couldn't figure it out (they replicated the problem), but apparently not a widely reported problem. I use IM too much for work and social stuff that I could not keep it or keep spending time toubleshooting. YMMV.Build quality 8/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 10/10Multimedia 8/10Camera 7/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 9/10Display 8/10Battery 5/10

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Good morning. This is a breach of contract. A buyer in this situation should sendseller a certified, return receipt requested letter detailing the situation anddemanding that seller agree to rescind the transaction and return buyer's money in total within a short specified period of time. The buyer would inform sellerthat if buyer's demand is not timely complied with, buyer will have no choicebut to file a suit againstseller for damages. The buyer would want to make sure to specifically mentionthat buyer will be filing this claim not only as a breach of contract case, butalso as a deceptive tradepractice action, which will entitle buyer not only to actual damages, but alsoanadditional amount equal to 3 times that as punitive damages. That shouldprovide plenty of incentive to comply with buyer's demands; but, if it doesnot,buyer should file the suit.

Truckhaven Hills
Three miles west of Salton City California is the 4×4 Training Area called Truckhaven Hills. I wouldn't describe Truckhaven as either a park or a trail, but instead as a play ground. The obstacles for your vehicle to climb over tend to be man made from things such as logs, giant tires, concrete, and boulders. Having just spent an hour watching video's on YouTube really say that the place looks amazing, and check out this video at the grand opening 2011. Something I haven't really seen any where else is the labeling of the obstacles like Ski Hills explaining the difficult of crawling over it. Anyway, the next time in the area around 29 palms, I'll be sure to stop by Truckhaven Hills. Truckhaven Park Map
Wharton State Forest
The east coast doesn't have much when it comes to 4×4 trails and park, but it seems that New Jersey has a place of it's own called, "Wharton State Forest." While the trails are pretty much as easy as it can get and you might get surprised at what you see driving around back there. I find that the best part might be that it doesn't have any fees or registration required to drive on the trails. (You know what I mean by that if you have ever been to Attica, Indiana at 9AM.) Your not going to find any technical trails or rocks to crawl, but you can find plenty of mud, swamps, and sand that could put up a challenge with a heavy rain. There are some rules to follow, but it's nothing special. All vehicles must be street-legal, registered, and insured. All drivers must be licensed Travel is restricted to established roads Stay off private roads, driveways, and gated areas Check for the latest videos on YouTube for Wharton State Forest.
H3 Crash Testing
I happened upon some great video of the H3 Hummer getting it's IIHS Rating and thought these two videos were to good to pass up. However, now I'm a bit worried that the IIHS doesn't quite have the grasp on their job as I once thought. Any true vehicle enthusiast knows the exact motor the vehicle has in it, especially if it's something weird, but apparently IIHS doesn't. They have the H3 Hummer listed as an 3.7L V6, when clearly the motor is actually an inline 5-cylinder motor. The tests are only done on 2008+ H3 Hummer models, and you can tell because anything prior 2008+ doesn't have side impact airbag curtains. That part is nothing special, but when you consider that a 2006 and 2009 have the exact same rating I'm a little bit confused. Anyway, no point in continuing to talking when your most likely here to see the H3 Hummer crash into something.
Black Bear Pass
One of the more infamous trails in Colorado is officially called "Forest Service Road 648," but most know it as Black Bear Pass. The popularity of this trail stems from the beautiful views that require the driver to have nerves of steel. Black Bear Pass is a seasonal road and generally opens late July and closes in early fall. The Black Bear Road reaches a altitude of 12,840 feet at the highest point after which point the trail descend 4,000 feet into the town of Telluride Colorado. Be sure to keep an eye out for the sign famous for it's saying: Telluride –> City of Gold 12 Miles – 2 Hours You don't have to be crazy to drive this road – but it helps Jeeps Only Special thanks to JK Experience for the photos.
Jungo Road, Nevada
Relatively soon, I will be headed to Black Rock City out in Nevada to attend the 2013 Burning Man, Cargo Cult. During Burning Man, Black Rock City becomes Nevada's third largest city for the week that the event is held. To get there most take State Route 447, but I take a short cut to get there which happens to be off-road. If you're driving from the east to get to Burning Man, I highly recommend taking Jungo Road (State Route 49). I was able to shave 4 hours of my driving time, with the way I drove getting there. Jungo Road begins in the town Winnemucca, and continues crossing the beautiful Kamma Mountains until finally reaching the town Gerlach. The road is hard packed gravel and for the most part, it was hard for me to believe that the road wasn't paved with how well it drove. While other sections would be very uncomfortable without four wheel drive or a full-size spare tire. Most of the road follows along the feather river route train tracks. I was passed by the occasional mining truck, but for the most part, I felt alone out there. As a precaution, I don't recommend driving Jungo Road unless you have a full tank of gas, four wheel drive, and full-size spare tire.
Superlift ORV Park
In the 1970's, off-road enthusiast around Hot Spring Arkansas began exploring the the logging roads in the area, forming an impressive network of trails. Then in 1999, the land owners closed the off-road trails down so that they could put the land up for sale. A couple years later, a group of businessmen bought the land to create the off-road destination Superlift ORV Park. The trail grades begin with completely stock vehicles with four wheel drive, all the way up to trails that requires 36+ inch tires, front and rear lockers, and the expectation of body damage. Superlift ORV Park has hill climbs, mud pits, rock gardens, water crossings, and more through out it's trail system. Official Website -> Superlift ORV Park Trail Map -> Superlift ORV Park Trail Map
Canyons Off Road Park
North of Fredericksburg, in Texas hill country, is Canyons Off-Road Park. The concept of this park began with two rock crawling enthusiast when they realized that their favorite local places to off-road at were being closed down. They decided to open up their own park and the rest is history. This park is only open during the hours Friday at 3 P.M. till Sunday at 3 P.M. Canyons ORV park is geared toward 4×4 rigs and ridiculous climbs, but has things to do for mildly modified vehicles too. Have a look at youtube for bunch of videos of the park and find out why they require you to have some sort of roll cage.
New York Fields of Dreams
Located 30 miles north of Syracuse, New York is the mild off-road trails of New York Fields of Dreams. New York Fields Of Dreams 4×4 park has limited the tire size to 35 inches and doesn't allow trucks or full-size SUV's. While a turn of to some wheels, I think it's nice that this New York Off-Road Park provides a place for the inexperienced to go and drive trails that they really shouldn't have to worry about. The land is on 100 acres, 85 of which is heavily wooded, with mud holes, hill climbs, water crossings, and side hills. They are minutes from Happy Valley Wildlife Area, consisting of 8,645 acres, upland, wetland, hiking trails, parking lot, birdwatching, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hunting, fishing and trapping. If your looking for 4×4 trails for a stock vehicle, or want to rent one of their vehicles to experience off-road driving, this is the place to go. Offical Website -> http://www.4wdfarm.com/
Gulches Off-Road Vehicle Park
South west of the town, "Laurens" is South Carolina's best off-road vehicle park, Gulches ORV Park. Gulches ORV Park is on 80 acres of land and has over 40 trails rated from easy all the way to skull and cross bones. What's neat about the trail system at Gulches ORV Park is that the trails are designed so that groups don't have to split up despite a group having vehicles that wildly more equipped than others. They do this by having easy trails link up with all the hard trails. Keep an eye on the events because Gulches ORV Park offers the chance to run the trails all the way up to midnight.

Naches Pass
Naches Pass was originally a Native American foot trail connecting the various Salish people on the west side (Nisqually & Puyallup) to the Yakima people on the east side of the Cascade Range. In later years, Naches Pass was worked on to be used as a wagon trail short cut from the Oregon Trail. The trail never found practical use because the steep terrain is nearly impractical for wagons and it would required over 60 crossing of the Naches River before reaching the pass from the east. One of the earliest written accounts of the Naches Pass is from Theodore Winthrop. He wrote a book titled "By Canoe and Saddle," in which he narrates his journeys in the Washington area predating 1855 with his own personal account of crossing the Cascade using this very trail. The western half of the trail, number 1175, is only open from November 15th to July 15th in an attempt to reduce the soil erosion. Where as the eastern section of the trail, number 684 Naches Pass is open to off-road enthusiast year around, however snow may make the trail impassible. Along the trail, in Camp Urich, is a log cabin complete with a loft and wood burning stove open to the community to use. The cabin is located on the Pacific Crest Hiking Trail and requires just as slight detour south from Naches Pass to spend the night at. The cabin is reserved on a first come first served basis, which means that it may […]
Rocks and Valleys Off-Road Park
In the town Harrison, Michigan is Rocks and Valleys Off-Road Park where it gets a bit more wild than the usual off-road park. The difficulty of the trails range from beginner to expert, even the people afraid of scratching the paint will have a place to play in the 200 acres. Rocks and Valleys Off-Road Park has rock gardens, tires gardens, hills to climb, and of course plenty of mud holes. The cost is $25 for each driver per day and an additional $5 for the passengers. What are you waiting for? Head on out! Rocks and Valleys Off-Road Park Map Rocks and Valleys Off-Road Park Official Website
Drummond Island Trails
In the upper peninsula of Michigan, east of Mackinac Island is the off-road paradise, Drummond Island. What makes this Drummond Island unique is at you can't just drive to it, you have to board a ferry head to the island. The off-road trails varies from mud bog trails in a boreal forests, to rock crawling on glacial rock deposits, and stone ridges over look Lake Huron. If run out of trails head over to the ORV Park, Turtle Ridge for more fun and excitement off-road. No matter what you drive Drummond Island's off-road trails are great for stock vehicles, heavy modified vehicles, and even buggies.

This seems to happen to me toward the end of the day while I sitting (watching tv,etc.) My throat will start to tighten beginning at the base of my neck and travels up my throat. I'm afraid I won't be able to breathe so I change position and talk myside out of it. This is a little scary and I haven't told my neurologist yet.

Tony Danza Set for Las Vegas' The Producers
The Mel Brooks musical comedy The Producers recently announced that Tony Danza has been signed to reprise his role as the down-on-his-luck theatrical producer Max Bialystock in the Las Vegas production following his Broadway run.
To view the Multimedia News Release, click on this link. "I am thrilled that Tony has decided to play Max in the Las Vegas production. He's a Vegas guy and just belongs there," said Mel Brooks. "He will take over and set Vegas on its ear. His moves are so clean and neat and his voice is so fabulous. I think he's gonna shake things up and make for a hard ticket to get!"
Perhaps best known for his work in "Taxi" and "Who's the Boss?," Danza's other television credits include hosting the popular talk show "The Tony Danza Show," Showtime's "12 Angry Men" (opposite George C. Scott and Jack Lemmon), an Emmy-nominated turn in David E. Kelley's "The Practice, " and "Family Law." Danza's screen credits include the Academy Award-winning feature film Crash, Walt Disney's Angels in the Outfield, She's Out of Control, and A Brooklyn State of Mind. For his theatrical debut in Wrong Turn at Lungfish, he earned an Outer Critic's Circle Award nomination. After his Broadway debut in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge, Danza received critical acclaim for his portrayal of 'Rocky' in the revival of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh opposite Kevin Spacey (Brook Atkinson Theater). In the fall of 2006, Danza starred in the romantic comedy I Remember You on stage in Los Angeles. Also a cabaret performer, he released his debut album "The House I Live In" in 2003.
"I loved doing The Producers on Broadway and I can't wait to do it again...AND in Vegas. WOW! " said Tony Danza.
The Producers, which opened on Broadway on April 19th, 2001, closed at the St. James Theatre on April 22nd, 2007. The Las Vegas production began its run on January 31st, 2007. The production also stars Leo Raben, Lee Roy Reams (who replaced David Hasselhoff), Bill Nolte and Leigh Zimmerman. Based on Brooks' Academy Award-winning 1968 film of the same name, "The Producers is the story of down-on-his-luck theatrical producer, Max Bialystock, and Leo Bloom, a mousy accountant. Together they hatch the ultimate scam: raise more money than you need for a sure-fire Broadway flop and pocket the difference. Their 'sure-fire' theatrical fiasco?. . . None other than the musical Springtime for Hitler," according to press notes.
The musical, which originally starred Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, features a Tony Award-winning book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, Tony Award-winning music and lyrics by Brooks, and Tony Award-winning direction and choreography by Susan Stroman. The musical also includes Tony Award-winning set design by Robin Wagner, Tony Award-winning costume design by William Ivey Long, Tony Award-winning lighting design by Peter Kaczorowski, and sound design by Steve Kennedy.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.parislasvegas.com or by calling the Paris Las Vegas Box Office at 877-374-7469. Group tickets can be purchased for groups of 15 or more by calling 800-828-3830. Show schedule: Monday - Friday 8 pm, Saturday 6 pm & 9 pm, and Dark Sunday.

Academy Award-winner Gwyneth Paltrow and her close friend, celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, grace the January 2013 cover of REDBOOK. The long-time pals open about body issues, life milestones and why Tracy's fitness method works.
Tracy, on Gwyneth's body issues: "Gwyneth had extra weight she couldn't drop from her pregnancy with Moses, and she needed to get in shape for her first action film, Iron Man." Gwyneth adds: "With my daughter it had been easier, but this time, no matter what I did, I felt stuck. I couldn't shift the weight. But I met Tracy and she was this force from the second I met her. She pulled my pants off. I'll never forget it. She was like, 'Oh, my God, wow, I just am so surprised, because you look so good in clothes. I wasn't expecting this.' "
On how Gwyneth marked her 40th birthday: "The morning of my 40th birthday, my children and husband woke me up with hugs and gifts, and I proceeded to have the best week of my life. I feel really happy being 40, now that I'm on the other side of it. There was definitely some uncomfortable anticipation. But I'm amazed at what I've been able to accomplish, that I've maintained my important relationships and have such incredible women friends, that I have two funny, beautiful children who can give me a real life. In a way, I feel like no one should make big life decisions until 40. It's when it all starts to settle and become clear."
Gwyneth, on the significance of her 40th birthday: "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I have the good fortune of knowing what they are. I can recognize my limitations, forgive myself, and celebrate the fact that I have made it to this important birthday with the information I need to keep making corrections."
Gwyneth, on how Tracy's method helps: "Because it did such wonders for my life, my confidence, my sex life, everything. Tracy adds: "When you feel your best, you're more confident in bed, It's not lights-out, under-the-covers sex. It's more like, 'Take a look at this!' "
For more from Gwyneth and Tracy, go to REDBOOK and pick up the January issue on newsstands December 18.

Caned At SchoolI got the cane several times at school but can remember one specific time. It was a maths lesson and I was larking about not paying any attention to my teacher walking into the classroom. I managed to hit him with a piece of paper which I had thrown not knowing he was there. He summoned me to the front of the class and ordered me to hold out my hand for the cane. I refused telling him that my hands were delicate and if he wants to cane me then he should cane my bottom. I thought I was being clever thinking that he was a soft teacher and the caning would not hurt much.To my surprise he bent me over the desk at the front of the class and then said are you sure because a hand caning is just one stroke but a bottom caning will be six. I said yes being very cocky thinking it would not hurt. But to my surprise he put down the cane he was holding went to his drawer and pulled out a much thicker longer cane. he then proceeded in caning by poor bottom in front of the whole class very severly six times. later on that day as was summoned to the deputy headmasters office and told under no uncertain terms that I had refused a caning and this was most unnacceptable to which he ordered me to bend over his desk. I tried to tell him that I had already been caned but he was in no mood to listen to me and before I knew it he had given me six of the hardest strokes of the cane I can remember> I know this because when I checked my bottom in the toilets afterwards it was bleeding. Having said all this I must admit due to the circumstances and severity of this caning I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wow someone else who got caned twice in the same day it happened to me twice.
We didn't get the cane in class, only the the head's. study. I got the slipper in class for throwing paper darts.
Headmaster caned her. She had to bend with bum facing class.Wore black trousers
Did she cry, or yell out at the strokes?
Saw charlotte smith get 3 on her bum at our school
There was a buzz when she got it as was usually only boys. Was at front of class
Woody, unfortunately not.

I couldn't even earn myself a normal school caning from the ladies.
woody555.

had a few canings when kickers pulled up, exposing bare bottom and a few not wearing regulation knickers , only my own which did not offer that much covering or protection. but none completly bare
I don't know how anyone could enjoy a painful caning, especially as a child or teen. But there is no doubt that some teachers really enjoyed, and may have even got off, caning boys and giirls, especially of the opposite sex.

Anyone here ever got a bare spanking by a teacher of the opposite sex?
Good Q., Canelove! I also like to hear the answer.
What type of people were those 2 masters otherwise? Was the DHM a fair and understanding man otherwise? You said the maths master was a gentle man otherwise. It is often those masters that can give a good whacking.
we had a teacher that ruled by fear and the cane.

one lesson i disagreed with her answers to a problem, which did not go down well and was told to see her after school, i muttered a comment under my breath but she heard it( back chat)

after school i went to see this teacher who told me to bend over a desk which i did, she lifted my skirt and gave me six real stingers across my knickers, i was crying after the third stroke, that was for disagreeing with me she told me, still bent over she got hold of the waistband of my knickers and pulled them up, she gave me an other six stingers across my already sore backside.

later that evening i told my mum what happened, she took down my knickers and told me that i had 12 lines across my backside which looked like railway lines, mum thought it was funny.

i did not
Was yours a girls only school? Were girls often caned across the bum ?
send my a private note and i will answer
Tattoosfeet, yes these things happen!

I once had 8 cuts (one shot) on an almost bare butt. They (the teachers) meant to swing and they could. I had to lay down for them, so they also had gravity on their side. Here I also experienced erotic feeling for the first time.

To all my friends above: happy spanking! (Oupa)
Wow!! Your butt must have sizzled.I envy you .I also like a good hard caning but have not had the wonderful experience of receiving 12 cuts in all in one. day.I bet you enjoyed it. I would have as well.I still enjoy a good caning when I can get one but resort to caning myself in the absence of a caner. Not quite as satisfying but still enjoyable. I like the after effects when the butt is burning and bruises stay for a few days.

Beirut, Lebanon (Aug. 5)
Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Keramy tonight posted a large reward for apprehension of the terrorists who last night blasted the American legation and British consulate here.
The blasts, which were attributed by police to persons dissatisfied with the Palestine plan recommended by the Anglo-American conferees in London, were caused by time bombs which exploded simultaneously.
The U.S. legation was almost totally ruined and tonight was declared unsafe and ordered evacuated. The British consulate was damaged less severely.
(It was reported tonight from Cairo that the foreign ministers of the Arab countries will meet in Alexandria on Aug. 12 to consider calling an extraordinary session of the Arab League to discuss the Palestine question. The Mufti may attend.)
