Around the country: Congrats to Cavs, with a caveat
Doug Gottlieb examines what's behind Virginia's title, why Kansas' title this year is even more impressive than meets the eye, and considers Syracuse's regression.
Virginia won its first ACC regular-season title in 30 years with its win Saturday over Syracuse, but let's be honest -- compared to other NCAA-caliber ACC teams Duke, Syracuse, North Carolina and Pitt, the Cavaliers had far and away the easiest league schedule. Tony Bennett said as much to me on the radio. The Cavs only had to play the four aforementioned ACC stalwarts one time each, and got Carolina and Syracuse at home (they beat Pitt 48-45 on the road, and lost at Duke).
The facts are the facts, and shouldn't take away from the accomplishment, but they do make it difficult to determine if the Hoos are really the best team in the ACC. When you lose at home to VCU and Wisconsin, and lose at Green Bay and get blown out by 35 against Tennessee, then have a small sample size against elite conference teams, it is difficult to measure how you really stack up in comparison to other top teams in the ACC or even nationally. The ACC tournament next week could help shed some light on the Cavs' strength.
As for those early-season hiccups, Virginia was playing too many guys, and their shot selection was crummy against teams like Tennessee. The Vols also played a bit above their level in Knoxville. But the bottom line is that since then, the Hoos have been excellent. What's their ceiling? We're about to find out.
The Jayhawks and the streak
Kansas won its 10th straight Big 12 title Saturday night before they took the court in an eventual loss to Oklahoma State. The OSU defeat took some shine off the accomplishment, but I believe this is the most remarkable of the program's titles during the Bill Self era.
What some people don't realize about the first seven years of the Jayhawks' run is that though the Big 12 had just one standings, they had a split schedule when the league was 12 deep. For the purposes of scheduling, the North was KU, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado and Iowa State. The South was Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Baylor. Each team would play opponents in their region twice, and the other side only once. (Essentially, the Jayhawks had Virginia's schedule every year the first 7 years of this run).
KU only had to play the South teams -- which were loaded with twice the talent (NBA Draft picks, all-conference selections) one time, half of those at home, while the teams from the South beat each other up. It's true that Self has an amazing record against the teams from the South, but every coach in the league, Self included, knows when you only play Blake Griffin once a regular season, or Bob Knight's Texas Tech squad, or a perennial NCAA tournament Texas team once a regular season, you have a better chance of beating them. During this same era, Iowa State only finished above .500 once, and Colorado and Nebraska were mostly non-competitive. Even Missouri, which went on a deep NCAA run under Mike Anderson, was on NCAA sanctions for the early part of that run.
Do I state this to take away from Kansas' streak? No, just to give additional perspective on why unbalanced league titles aren't as meaningful. Frankly, I still think we underestimate the value of the regular season in college basketball, especially when a league champion has played a balanced league schedule. Every team I have ever been around has four goals to begin the season: win your non-conference tournament, win your league, win your league tourney title, get to the Final Four. But the unspoken goal is to improve and evolve in the process. The idea of a "body of work" may provide perspective to fans and NCAA tournament selectors, but it diminishes the value of improving as the season goes on. Only those that do get to achieve the ultimate goal and cut down the nets on championship Monday.
Syracuse, Baylor and injuries
The most difficult part of the assessment in putting teams in or out of the tournament, or seeding them at all, is injuries.
Syracuse hasn't played well recently, but has been playing without Jerami Grant for the last game-and-a-half as well. Grant was playing with a bad back, and the Orange shut him down. On the other hand, as I'd said all year when the wins were piling up, the Orange's end of season schedule was ridiculous and anyone could see several losses coming. No one survives that schedule -- no one. There are no guaranteed future first-round picks on this team, which only goes six or seven players deep anyway. Death. So let's say Cuse loses at Florida State this weekend and then in the ACC tournament to Duke … what does the committee do with them? I guess you ship Syracuse out of Buffalo, with heir chance of playing at MSG in the regional seemingly gone, but should it be? This is the same team that stomped Villanova, beat Duke, UNC, Baylor, Indiana, Cal, Pitt (twice) and beat St. John's in MSG. This is one place where looking at their body of work, as opposed to the evolution of the Orange's season, would be appropriate.
Speaking of injuries, look at Baylor and how they've played since point guard Kenny Chery made a full return from his problems with turf toe. Chery has played 22 or more minutes in the Bears last seven games, during which time the Bears are 6-1. He has averaged 15.8 points and six assists per game over his last six. On the other hand, this is the same Baylor team that nearly lost to a Marcus Smart-less Oklahoma State team, and Chery played in that game, so is BU really back or was their surprising home win against Iowa State an aberration? That will be a question for the committee to consider.
Return of the Ducks?
Oregon looks to be back in the field thanks in part to their win at UCLA last week. But the Bruins didn't have their two best players at Pauley Pavillion with Jordan Adams and Kyle Anderson both suspended, yet it took the Ducks double OT to win on the road. Other than that, and a win over an Arizona State team the Ducks matched up well against, Oregon has played the bottom of the Pac-12 during its resurgence. We'll see just how much they've really improved against Arizona this Saturday on CBS.
Oregon has a lot of firepower and seems to have accepted that Dominic Artis has regressed and Johnathan Loyd (whom the Ducks used to think was the backup) is their guy at the point. Artis doesn't guard like Loyd (few do) and also takes questionable shots, doesn't make enough of them and doesn't create enough shots for others to merit playing time. That said, the way to beat Oregon has been to dominate them inside, like Arizona will try to do. Forward Mike Moser played Tuesday night like he did at times at UNLV, with great energy, and was a difficult matchup for ASU's forwards. He'll need more of the same if Dana Altman's team is to knock off UA.
Two teams who were much better earlier this season when they were healthy
Wyoming: The Cowboys lost Larry Nance Jr. for the year two weeks ago to a torn ACL. Nance wasn't just Wyoming's best player, he was a stretch 4-man who opened up Wyoming's ball-screen offense. Without him Wyoming is lucky to win games, and it makes the San Diego State loss at 7,000 feet above sea level look worse than it actually was.
Northwestern: JerShon Cobb was the second-leading scorer and a vet for Chris Collins' first Wildcats team. Without him, Northwestern just doesn't have the horses to compete in the Big Ten. Look back at the Cats' victories at Indiana, Wisconsin and others and notice how much better they were on offense with Cobb in the lineup. His foot injury has shrunk the court and turned a competitive Big Ten team into an inferior one.

It's tax season and this is a good time to review how my retirement accounts performed last year. I have a 401k (traditional and Roth) plan through my current company, a rollover traditional IRA from my previous company and a Roth IRA that I opened over a decade ago on my own.
Roth IRA
2016 Retirement Accounts Q1 Review
I have been contributing to my retirement accounts since I started working after college. The first company I worked for does not have a 401k match, so I only contributed about 5-8% of my starting salary. After my company was bought, the new company provided a 50% match up to the first 6% of my salary. From that point on I have contributed the maximum into my 401k. The new company gave me two options for my old 401k, to withdraw all the money from the account or convert it to a Traditional IRA. I chose to convert the old 401k to a Traditional IRA.

YOUNG Guiseley actor Max Vento is set to return to our screens this autumn with the return of BBC series The A Word.
The youngster won critical acclaim with his portrayal of the drama's central figure Joe who is diagnosed with autism.
Filming for the second series has been taking place in the Lake District and at Manchester's Space Project, picking up the story two years on.
Now aged seven, Joe has begun to look at the world and finds he doesn't fit in.
Writer Peter Bowker said: "Autistic is a word Joe has heard but can't yet understand. Different is what he feels, and fears might be something bad. It's up to the whole family to help Joe make sense of who he is and his place in the world. But to do that, they must first be honest about themselves."
Max was only five, and attending drama classes at the West Yorkshire School of Performing Arts, when he filmed the first series in 2015. In what was his first TV role, he joined a stellar cast including Christopher Eccleston, Lee Ingleby and Morven Christie who, along with critics and viewers, praised his natural performance.
Max, a pupil at St Joseph's primary school in Otley, had been learning drama, singing and dance at WYSPA since he was a toddler.

Promoting the inclusion of all relevant actors, notably women and the youth, in the implementation of the National Strategy for the Inclusion of the Roma until 2020, was the focus of an introductory conference of the National Platform for the Inclusion of the Roma, held in the Science, Education and Sports Ministry on Tuesday.
The need to include the youth and women was underscored by the head of the Office for Human and Minority Rights, Branko Socanac, and MP representing the Roma ethnic minority Veljko Kajtazi.
Kajtazi fears that the Roma community will have little benefit from this project, realised with the help of the European Commission, saying there was not enough political will to resolve basic problems, such as housing, education and employment.
"The problem is insufficient coordination at the local level and the fact that the non-Roma population and those involved in the decision-making process at the local level are not interested," Socanac said underscoring that this should be a two-way process.
The main objective by 2020 is to ensure that every Roma child finishes elementary school. The Roma population must be able to make their own decisions, Socanac said, adding that the problem was the fact that young Roma were insufficiently educated. The objective is to create a critical mass among the young Roma population who would later take over all these tasks."
He underscored that the inclusion of the general public was very important in this process. "The Roma have been a marginalised group for a very long time and there had been certain stereotypes and prejudice against them. We need to educate the general public so that the Roma can become equal participants in the public life.
The participants in the conference were also greeted by Administration Minister Dubravka Jurlina Alibegovic who said the National Platform for the Inclusion of the Roma was supported by the European commission.

Bookshare, a project run by Benetech, a nonprofit based in Palo Alto, California, is an online accessible digital library for people with disabilities that affect the reading of print, such as blindness, vision impairment, dyslexia and certain physical disabilities. Bookshare currently has over a quarter million users and over 375,000 books in its collection, contributed by volunteers and by major publishers (who send digital versions of their books to the collection).
"This partnership greatly expands the number of accessible titles available to Pennsylvania residents who are print disabled."
In a mission to expand more meaningful and accessible reading experiences for Pennsylvania residents who cannot read standard print, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Free Library of Philadelphia have entered into a partnership agreement with Benetech, a Silicon Valley nonprofit that manages Bookshare, the world's largest online accessible library for individuals with qualifying print disabilities.
Today, Bookshare serves more than 425,000 members who are blind, have low vision, a physical disability, or a learning disability, like dyslexia. The new partnership will enable qualified Pennsylvania residents who are print disabled to enjoy unlimited and 24/7 access to over 446,000 available electronic books at no cost in digital audio, text, and braille formats. Patrons can read Bookshare's accessible ebooks on tablets, smart phones, computers, assistive technology devices, and MP3 players using free and paid apps and some free reading tools.
Mark Lee, Library Services Manager at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh-Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped said, "This partnership greatly expands the number of accessible titles available to Pennsylvania residents who are print disabled. Now they will have the opportunity to access those titles instantly and through a device of their choosing."
Bookshare collections include a broad range of topics for all age groups and reading interests such as New York Times bestsellers, children's literature, picture books, fiction and nonfiction, scientific and technical journals, periodicals, professional publications, career guides, and much more. In addition to English titles, ebooks are offered in other languages, including Spanish.
Currently, through awards from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), all students in the United States with qualifying disabilities can access Bookshare for free. Through the new Pennsylvania state library partnership, all eligible Pennsylvania patrons, of all ages, will have access to Bookshare.
Keri Wilkins, Administrator, Philadelphia Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped said, "I agree with Mark about the benefits of this partnership. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Libraries for the Blind and Physically Handicapped have been long-time partners in serving our residents with print impairments. Working with Benetech is another great step in expanding accessible titles using Bookshare now and well into the future."
In 2016, Benetech announced similar partnerships with libraries in New York City and with the state of Georgia. Brad Turner, Vice President of Global Literacy at Benetech said, "We're excited about this new partnership with Pennsylvania state libraries to change how people with disabilities read today. We extend an invitation to other library systems with a similar mission to follow their footsteps and consider Bookshare to be the online accessible library that can open the world of meaningful reading experiences for their patrons with print disabilities."
For information about the Pennsylvania library partnership, contact Mark Lee at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh or Keri Wilkins at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
For information about Benetech, Bookshare, and partnerships, contact Lisa Wadors Verne, Program Manager, Education Research and Partnerships.
Benetech is a different kind of tech company. We're a nonprofit whose mission is to empower communities in need by creating scalable technology solutions. Our work has transformed how over 425,000 people with disabilities read; made it safer for human rights defenders in over fifty countries to document human rights violations; and equipped environmental conservationists to protect ecosystems and species all over the world. Our Benetech Labs is working on the next big impact. Visit www.benetech.org
Bookshare is the world's largest online library of accessible ebooks for people with print disabilities. Through its extensive collection of educational and popular titles, specialized book formats, and reading tools, Bookshare offers individuals who cannot read standard print materials the same ease of access that people without disabilities enjoy. In 2007 and 2012, Bookshare received two five-year awards from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), to provide free access for all U.S. students with a qualifying print disability. Bookshare is an initiative of Benetech, a Palo Alto, CA-based nonprofit that develops and uses technology to create positive social change. www.bookshare.org

1612Re: [KWChoir] Pennsic 40 Choir Director and new Known World Choir structure
- Mar 10, 2011I only just noted an error in your email:
- An Tir: Viktor Zabolotskoi - vsapko@...
I'm not sure where that email is from, but it's not mine (and I am Viktor :-) ). The email above is my only non-work email.
On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 8:23 PM, Karen Kasper <arianna_wyn@...> wrote:
Greetings to the members of the Known World Choirs!
I have the distinct pleasure of announcing that the director for the Known World Choir at Pennsic 40 (July/August 2011) will be Mistress Josselyne ferch Rhys of the Kingdom of Caid. Mistress Josselyne was the founder of the Pennsic Choir almost 20 years ago, and has agreed to come out to Pennsic for the first time in many years to bring her magic to the choir once again. We are very, very excited to have her.
Regarding the new KWC Structure: as many of you who were at Pennsic know, Lady Erlan Nordenskaldr and I met there to discuss the idea of bringing greater structure to the Known World Choir organization. Along with this year's director, Master Robyn Solarius, and past director Mistress Arianna Morgan, we held a round-table discussion on the last Friday of Pennsic to brainstorm how best to do this. 17 attendees provided a lot of creative energy and thought-provoking ideas. Thank you to everyone who participated!
A document detailing what we came up with at those meetings has been uploaded to the Yahoo Group site at http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/KWChoir/files/Board%20of%20Directors/
For those of you who prefer the Cliff Notes version, here's the gist of it:
1. The Mission of the Known World Choir (KWC) is to provide a place for all people to learn about and participate in the practice and performance of pre-17th century polyphonic choral music.
2. The KWC now has a "Board of Directors" consisting of all past directors from KWCs around the SCA who have expressed an interest in participating. Choral Directors from all SCA wars were offered the opportunity to be members, and future directors will also have that opportunity. At this time, the following directors have accepted:
• Lady Erlan Nordenskald (East) - daggett42@...
• Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope (AEthelmearc) - arianna_wyn@...
• Mistress Arianna Morgan (Atlantia) - chrissings@...
• Master Robyn Solarius (Middle) - dsrubin1@...
3. The purpose of the Board is to help further the mission of the KWC by providing the following support services:
a. Logistics: Assisting and educating new directors in how to run SCA choirs at Wars around the SCA.
b. Library: Maintaining music files from each year's performance and making them available to the KWC members.
c. Advertising/promotion to attract audiences.
d. Recruitment of both singers and potential directors.
e. Training and mentoring of aspiring choral conductors.
f. Digitizing assistance for directors who need help converting music to electronic audio files.
g. Performance practice: Serving as a resource for period music practices, including pronunciation and translations.
h. Education and support for choral music and musicians throughout the SCA.
4. To accomplish these goals, the Board will:
a. Set up a website for the KWC, to supplement the Yahoo Group and provide a more easily accessible resource for choral musicians. Board members will provide and solicit content for the site from the membership of the KWC.
b. Recruit people to serve as KWC "Ambassadors" for their kingdoms. KWC Ambassadors will:
i. Post information about KWCs to their Kingdom lists, including forwarding messages from the Board of Directors
ii. Serve as contacts for choral musicians in their kingdoms looking for information and assistance
iii. Facilitate the learning of KWC repertoire, possibly by running pre-war rehearsals at Kingdom and local universities/scholas
At this time, these Board members have accepted responsibility for specific areas:
- Erlan: Library, Performance Practice
- Robyn: Digitizing music, recruiting teachers for music classes at Pennsic
- Arianna W: Logistics at Pennsic
- All directors: Recruiting, training and mentoring, and advertising
What does all this mean for you?
- We will be providing you with more choral music resources.
- We will be more organized so you get more information farther in advance.
- We are available to help if you would like to do more in choral music, including learning to direct.
- We need YOUR help to make this work!
The following people have volunteered to be KWC Ambassadors:
- An Tir: Viktor Zabolotskoi - vsapko@...
- Meridies: Tessa the Amnesiac - tessadamnesiac@...
- Northshield: Eliane Halevy - jennifer-friedman@...
- Æthelmearc: Arianna of Wynthrope - arianna_wyn@...
- Atlantia: Arianna Morgan - chrissings@...
If you would like to be a KWC Ambassador, please contact us!
Also, we are looking for people willing to assist with the following:
- Development and maintenance of the KWC website. Erlan owns the rights to the domain KnownWorldChoir.org. Mistress Cassandra Arabella Giordani of Atlantia has agreed to host the KWC via the Atlantian website. We need to someone to maintain it.
- Logistics and support for choirs and choral music at wars other than Pennsic, Lilies and Gulf Wars (which already have people handling choral activities).
- Articles, links and other suggestions about what to include on the website.
- Suggestions for a list of 10 songs that every member of the KWC should know; preferably pieces that can be sung by any array of voices. We want to be able to sing whenever even a small number of us are gathered! Suggestions so far include Sumer is icumen in, Alle Psallite, and some of the Ravenscroft rounds.
- Ideas on how to make it easier for people to participate in the KWC at Pennsic if they cannot commit to daily 2-hour rehearsals. See the document on the Yahoo Group site for ideas we've discussed so far.
- Your suggestions for how to make the KWC even better.
If you've made it to the bottom of this very long missive, thanks for your patience. We are excited about moving forward with these changes, and we hope you find them useful.
In service,

So I've got a really weird issue going on. I need to import an email I built so that I can run a design test. The thing is completely built and everything is looking good. I've even already tested it on a local copy of Outlook 2007 to make sure everything is good there before I pay $5 for a test.
The problem comes when I import the HTML and the images into Campaign Monitor. For some reason, it's adding some space between two of my images which is completely ruining the entire layout. I tried sending myself a test version of it through Campaign Monitor, and the layout is definitely screwed up.
Does anybody know why a perfectly fine, working version of an email is getting messed up when I import it?
Also, CM is adding what looks like a _ to the left of the image that's being pushed over.
So the images in question are wrapped in  tags and apparently CM has a problem with the hrefs that I have in those links because I just replaced them all with # and now the layout is fine.
Hi Andrew, that's very unusual. I recommend you send your email to support [at] campaignmonitor.com and we'll take a look at the code.  tags and the like certainly shouldn't be throwing out your layout.
Hi there. We have the exact same issue in a newsletter we designed. Is there any solution for this, or did anything come out of looking at the code?
Our construction is the same.  with  enclosed, and when testing it there is no whitespace. When it is imported, and the links are transformed into the c/send - coded links, all goes wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance!
Hi Anke,
It would best for us to look at your specific code to troubleshoot the issue. As Ros mentioned above, can you send along your code to support [at] campaignmonitor.com and we'll take a look?
Hi everyone, the problem got solved by moving the images / links that were problematic into a table. This way you can easily control the alignment. Thanks to the CM support!
Hope this helps for any future reference!

She Didn't Mind Paying the 60-Cent Toll. But the Extra Buck Made Her Call a Lawyer.
Courthouse News brings us the interestingish case of Mary Kemp v. the Texas Department of Transportation over ... one dollar. Our story starts on November 4, 2007. The Wichita Falls resident was on State Highway 121 -- the Sam Rayburn -- and about to take the Denton Tap Road exit near Coppell when she realized she didn't have any change for the toll. Nor did she have a TollTag. So, according to her lawsuit filed Monday in Dallas federal court, "she decided to pay for use of the tollway through the video toll." Only, she thought she would just get a 60-cent hit; instead, "she was also charged a $1.00 invoice fee that was not disclosed to her at any point during the use of the tollway or when she exited the tollway."
Kemp and her attorney, Thomas Corea, are looking for all comers with similar complaints; they want this sucker to turn into a class action. Because they insist the ZipCash option -- which, at least back in '07, no one bothered to pay anyway -- goes against the Texas Constitution: "Defendants lack the statutory authority to charge the fee." Furthermore, they insist, TxDOT and TexasTollways -- the North Texas Tollway Authority is not named nor ever mentioned in the suit -- "only have the authority to charge fees to individuals that establish a toll tag account, which Ms. Kemp did not do." I wouldn't chuck that TollTag out the window just yet, but as the Startlegram reminded earlier this month, Kemp could probably find a few folks willing to jump into her suit.
Update at 10:32 a.m.: Sherita Coffelt, spokesperson for the NTTA, says the reason it's not named in the lawsuit is because it didn't take control of State Highway 121 till September 2008. It became the Rayburn in May of this year.

Clean and reliable energy
Congressman John Kline is promoting new, clean, and reliable sources of energy like advanced nuclear and next generation coal, while promoting clean power from renewable energy such as wind and hydroelectric power. Nuclear energy has proven itself as a safe, carbon-free and environmentally friendly alternative, with France relying on it for nearly 80 percent of its electricity needs, compared to just 19 percent in America.
Encourage efficiency
Congressman Kline is encouraging greater efficiency by offering conservation tax incentives to Americans who make their home, car, and business more energy efficient.
Increase production
Congressman Kline wants to increase the production of American-made energy in an environmentally responsible way. This includes the exploration of next generation oil, natural gas, and coal, and the production of advanced alternative fuels like cellulosic and clean coal-to-liquids - all while protecting our natural resources for future generations.
Increase supply
Congressman Kline is committed to cutting red tape and increasing the supply of American-made fuel and energy. Limiting the construction of new oil refineries and bureaucratic regulations mandating the use of exotic fuels have decreased supply and increased gas prices.
Congressman Kline continues to co-sponsor legislation that promotes new, clean and reliable sources of energy, and encourages conservation:
H.R. 197, to Extend Renewable Energy Tax Credits: This legislation extends production tax credits for electricity produced from renewable energy facilities such as wind, closed-loop biomass, open-loop biomass, geothermal, small irrigation power, landfill gas, and trash combustion.
H.R. 550, the "Securing America's Energy Independence Act": This bill encourages conservation by extending the energy tax credit for solar energy property and qualified fuel cell property, such as hybrid vehicles; and extending the tax credit for residential energy efficient property expenditures.
H.R. 2493, the "Boutique Fuels Reduction Act of 2007": This legislation reduces the existing number of boutique (regional) fuels. It also provides the Environmental Protection Agency with a waiver authority to further reduce the number of boutique fuels if there are unexpected problems with distribution or delivery of fuel or fuel additives.
H.R. 2784, the "National Environment and Energy Development Act": This bill advances renewable fuels research and environmental cleanup, as well as promotes American natural gas production on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The funds are attained by redirecting billions of dollars from royalties.
H.R. 2927, to Establish Separate Fuel Efficiency Standards: This bill encourages conservation by establishing separate fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks to meet by 2022. The bill also rewards energy efficiency by extending the flexible fuel vehicle credits, and permitting vehicles that operate on bio-diesel (B-20 or greater) to qualify for the credit.
H.R. 5995, the "Gas Tax Relief and Earmark Moratorium Act": This legislation reduces the price of gasoline by suspending the highway fuels taxes and prohibiting earmarking for the remainder of the 110th Congress.
H.R. 6001, the "Main Street Energy and Security Act": This legislation would lead to greater domestic production of alternative energy. It focuses on further developing and expanding of the nation's nuclear program, expanding cellulosic ethanol technologies, and increasing the use of clean coal. This bill also provides for conservation incentives and supports renewable energy sources.
Congressman Kline and House colleagues are introducing discharge petitions on the following bills each week the House is in session this summer:
H.R. 3089, No More Excuses Energy Act of 2007: Reduces the price of gasoline by opening new American oil refineries; investing in diverse energy sources such as wind, nuclear, and clean coal-to-liquid technology; and making available more homegrown energy through environmentally responsible exploration of the Arctic Energy Slope and America's Deep-Sea Energy Reserves.
H.R. 2279, Expand American Refining Capacity at Closed Military Bases: Reduces the price of gasoline by streamlining the refinery application process and by requiring the President to open at least three closed military bases for new and reliable American refineries.
H.R. 5656, To Repeal the Ban on Acquiring Alternative Fuels: Reduces the price of gasoline by allowing the federal government to procure advanced alternative fuels derived from diverse sources like oil shale, tar sands and coal-to-liquid technology.
H.R. 2208, Coal-to-Liquid Fuel Act: Reduces the price of gasoline by encouraging the use of clean coal-to-liquid technology authorizing the Secretary of Energy to enter into loan agreements with coal-to-liquid projects that produce innovative transportation fuel.
H.R. 2493, Fuel Mandate Reduction Act of 2007: Reduces the price of gasoline by removing fuel blend requirements and onerous government mandates if they contribute to unaffordable gas prices.
H.R. 6107, American Energy Independence and Price Reduction Act: Reduces the price of gasoline by opening the Arctic Energy Slope to environmentally responsible American energy exploration. Exploration would be limited to 0.01% of the Refuge, and revenue received from the new leases would be invested in a long-term alternative energy trust fund.
H.R. 6108, Deep Ocean Energy Resources Act of 2008: Reduces the price of gasoline by enabling the United States to responsibly explore its own deep ocean to produce American energy. The bill would grant coastal states the authority to keep exploration 100 miles from their coastlines and it would also allow states to share in the revenues received.

The photo depicts no activity at the airport due to the lack of aircraft on the ramps but sources report that the airfield was used for training purposes by airline flight crews doing touch and goes here with prop airliners on short hops from Miami International Airport to the south in the mid 50's.
The airport was located at 25.88N/80.26W, two miles south of Opa-locka Naval Air Station on LeJeune Road. Famed aviator Glenn Curtiss was the original owner of the airport and he gave it to the City of Miami in 1928. Sources state that the airport was served by both Eastern and National Airlines. The airport had three hangars at one time, with one having the word "MIAMI" painted on the roof but one of the hangars burned down in the 30's.
In 1937 Amelia Earhart departed Miami Municipal on her ill-fated final flight attempting to fly around the world.
The Navy purchased the airport from the City of Miami in 1942 and used it throughout World War II as one of six satellite airfields for Miami Naval Air Station (the current Opa-locka Executive Airport). These airfields provided pilot training for Avengers, Dauntlesses and PB-4Y Privateers.
Miami Municipal Airport and Masters Field to the east were connected by one taxiway that crossed over the Seaboard railroad tracks. The Navy called Miami Municipal "South Field #2" and "Navy Municipal Field" and used the airfield for personnel transport flights and flight training.
On October 26, 1947, the airport was rededicated as Amelia Earhart Field in honor of her accomplishments and the fact that she departed from there on her last flight.

Imhotep. The legendary architect of the Egyptian monuments. His awe-inspiring structures and brutal tactics earned him divine status among ancient Egyptians. Can you match his ruthless determination to build the most revered monuments? To do this, you will need to transport stone blocks on ships from your quarry to different construction sites. But you alone do not choose where the ships go. Your opponents have monumental plans of their own and want to prevent your success. A fierce competition for the precious stone resources plays out. Only with the right strategy and a little luck can you succeed. In Imhotep, the players take on the roles of ancient Egyptian architects. Over six rounds, they try to transport their stone blocks to end up in the most valuable positions at five construction sites: pyramid, obelisk, chamber tomb, temple, and market. But a player can only choose one of three actions in a turn: excavate a new stone block from the quarry, load a block onto a ship, or move a ship to a construction site. From there, the massive stone blocks must be unloaded in order from bow to stern and placed on the sites in preset sequences. Depending on where the blocks end up, players earn different point values either immediately or at the end of the game. In each turn, you must weigh your options for getting your own stones into place and thwarting your opponents' placement plans. You must get your blocks to the right places, in the right order, at the right time to be the greatest architect.

Wednesday 22 June 2005
The World Today is a comprehensive current affairs program which backgrounds, analyses, interprets and encourages debate on events and issues of interest and importance to all Australians. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
Australia and its anti-whaling allies have harpooned Japan's bid to resume commercial whaling. In a surprise win, the vote to overturn the 19-year-old moratorium was defeated 29 to 23 at the International Whaling Commission meeting in South Korea overnight. But it's only a small victory in the campaign to end whaling of any form. Japan can continue to hunt whales with impunity under the guise of science, and will push ahead with plans to double its take of Minke whales to more than 900 and will include 50 Fin and 50 Humpback whales.
The IWC was set up in 1946 to regulate the whaling industry, rather than conserve the species. Pro-whaling countries Japan, Norway and Iceland weren't original signatories to the whaling convention, but have been uncompromising in their efforts to overturn the 19-year-old moratorium on commercial whaling. The anti-whaling nations have been equally unshakeable, and so the yearly battle over the future of the whales continues.
How valuable is the industry which is based on keeping whales alive? In the past few years, the numbers of people paying to go sit on whale watching coastal platforms, on boat tours or stay at whale watching resorts has grown exponentially. In fact, the most recent figures collected by the International Fund for Animal Welfare show the whale watching industry in Australia has grown by 15 per cent over the past five years, generating close to $300 million per annum.
New Zealand may be allied with Australia on the issue of whaling, but its apple growers are less than happy at being locked out of the Australian fruit market. Growers are taking their gripe to the streets today, marching on the Australian High Commission in Wellington to demand they be allowed to sell their apples across the Tasman. It's a market New Zealand's been locked out of for 85 years and one which growers estimate to be worth $20 million to them each year.
The Federal Agriculture Minister Warren Truss says he understands the frustrations of New Zealand growers, but he insists Australia's import rules are based on science and not political or trade grounds.
As Federal Parliament continues to debate the Government's planned overhaul of its immigration detention system, the Opposition is still grappling with its own internal fallout over how it's dealing with the sensitive portfolio. Labor's Immigration spokesman, Laurie Ferguson, has been publicly rebuked by his leader Kim Beazley for his comments about Australia's longest serving detainee, Peter Qasim. But he says that doesn't worry him and insists he deserves to hang on to his frontbench job.
Plans for a super university in Western Australia have also stirred concern amongst the Labor party, as well as education unions. The proposed University of Perth combining three of the State's unis, would create the nation's biggest higher education institution. The Vice-Chancellors say a bigger university will give them a louder voice when arguing for funding. But some are concerned it'll reduce the diversity of courses and encourage other mergers around the county.
A Christian group has been ordered to publicly apologise for vilifying Muslims. A Victorian tribunal made the orders under the state's racial and religious tolerance act. In New South Wales there's pressure to adopt similar legislation but the Premier, Bob Carr is reluctant, arguing such laws could be open to abuse. One of the men who's been ordered to apologise says he'd rather go to jail than say sorry. The Islamic Council of Victoria brought the action, and it's welcomed the tribunal's decision.
It's been getting worse for years � fathers spending more and more time in the office, mothers struggling to manage kids and a part time job. The quest for the ever-elusive "balance" in this chaos has become an industry in itself. Today though, the Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Pru Goward, has released a discussion paper, which tries to cut through the myths surrounding the work/life balance. And she says it's time for action, that men do more of the work at home, and employers accept the reality of their workers' lives.
The Elixir of life: for centuries the promise of life-extending waters, potions and pills has been the domain of hucksters, shysters and snake-oil merchants. But now science may be making a legitimate claim for a compound which really does slow ageing. It's an antioxidant found in red wine, fruit and vegetables called Resveratrol, and an Australian has shown it can prolong life in a range of species. Resveratrol could have therapeutic properties for people suffering from conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimers and heart disease.

Do It Now!
In this verse, Jesus Christ laid down a very important principle by saying, "Do what you know you must do— now. Do it quickly. If you don't, an inevitable process will begin to work 'till you have paid the last penny' (Matthew 5:26) in pain, agony, and distress." God's laws are unchangeable and there is no escape from them. The…
Do It Now
Jesus Christ is laying down this principle - Do what you know you must do, now, and do it quickly; if you do not, the inevitable process will begin to work and you will have to pay to the last farthing in pain and agony and distress. God's laws are unalterable; there is no escape from them. The teaching of Jesus goes straight to the way we are made up.
Reconciling Yourself to the Fact of Sin
Not being reconciled to the fact of sin— not recognizing it and refusing to deal with it— produces all the disasters in life. You may talk about the lofty virtues of human nature, but there is something in human nature that will mockingly laugh in the face of every principle you have. If you refuse to agree with the fact…
Reconciling One's Self To The Fact Of Sin
It is not being reconciled to the fact of sin that produces all the disasters in life. You may talk about the nobility of human nature, but there is something in human nature which will laugh in the face of every ideal you have. If you refuse to agree with the fact that there is vice and self-seeking, something downright spiteful and wrong in human beings, instead of reconciling yourself to it, when it strikes your life, you will compromise with it and say it is of no use to battle against it. Have you made allowance for this hour and the power of darkness, or do you take a recognition of yourself that misses out sin? In your bodily relationships and friendships do you reconcile yourself to the fact of sin? If not, you will be caught round the next corner and you will compromise with it. If you reconcile yourself to the fact of sin, you will realize the danger at once - Yes, I see what that would mean. The recognition of sin does not destroy the basis of friendship; it establishes a mutual regard for the fact that the basis of life is tragic. Always beware of an estimate of life which does not recognize the fact that there is sin.
"Acquainted With Grief"
We are not "acquainted with grief" in the same way our Lord was acquainted with it. We endure it and live through it, but we do not become intimate with it. At the beginning of our lives we do not bring ourselves to the point of dealing with the reality of sin. We look at life through the eyes of…
Acquaintance With Grief
We are not acquainted with grief in the way in which Our Lord was acquainted with it; we endure it, we get through it, but we do not become intimate with it. At the beginning of life we do not reconcile ourselves to the fact of sin. We take a rational view of life and say that a man by controlling his instincts, and by educating himself, can produce a life which will slowly evolve into the life of God. But as we go on, we find the presence of something which we have not taken into consideration, viz., sin, and it upsets all our calculations. Sin has made the basis of things wild and not rational. We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect; sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life. The New Testament brings us right down to this one issue. If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed. There is no possible ultimate but that. The climax of sin is that it crucified Jesus Christ, and what was true in the history of God on earth will be true in your history and in mine. In our mental outlook we have to reconcile ourselves to the fact of sin as the only explanation as to why Jesus Christ came, and as the explanation of the grief and sorrow in life.<
Complete and Effective Decision About Sin
Co-Crucifixion. Have you made the following decision about sin—that it must be completely killed in you? It takes a long time to come to the point of making this complete and effective decision about sin. It is, however, the greatest moment in your life once you decide that sin must die in you– not simply be restrained, suppressed, or counteracted, but…
Moral Decision About Sin
Co-Crucifixion. Have I made this decision about sin - that it must be killed right out in me? It takes a long time to come to a moral decision about sin, but it is the great moment in my life when I do decide that just as Jesus Christ died for the sin of the world, so sin must die out in me, not be curbed or suppressed or counteracted, but crucified. No one can bring anyone else to this decision. We may be earnestly convinced, and religiously convinced, but what we need to do is to come to the decision which Paul forces here.
The Master Will Judge
Paul says that we must all, preachers and other people alike, "appear before the judgment seat of Christ." But if you will learn here and now to live under the scrutiny of Christ's pure light, your final judgment will bring you only delight in seeing the work God has done in you. Live constantly reminding yourself of the judgment seat…

Sara Piasecka of Poland sailed a beautifully consistent series and, with the second drop in effect, was able to discard her 11th place in race 9 - her only finish below sixth. She was equally at home in both heavy and light air and, if she represents Poland in the YOG, she will be an early favourite. Second place went to Lara Vadlau of Austria who saw any chance of catching Piasecka disappear when she was OCS in the last race. Third was Daphne Van der Vaart of the Netherlands and, in fourth, Finnish sailor Nikki Blassar who, with her compatriot Kaarle Tapper, were the only competitors in Imperia both able to qualify their country for the YOG. Rounding out the top five was Najwa Jumali of Singapore the current Byte CII Women's World Champion who had also been in Thailand the previous weekend.
The final results were a big disappointment for Slovenia. The country's sailors finished in the eighth qualifying spot in BOTH divisions - two points out in the men's and four points out in the women's. Although both Luka Zan and Eva Paternelj had some good races - particularly Paternelj with a 2, 3 in the last two races - they were not quite consistent enough. However, they will certainly be looking to qualify at the World Championship in Cannes in April which is a YOG Qualifier open to all nations.
A Special Note of Appreciation: The Byte Class International Association would like to express its sincere thanks to the Yacht Club Imperia, its Officers and Volunteers, the Race Committee and the on-the-water Jury for all their help and expertise in the running of this Continental Qualifying event. They have all made it a memorable Championship and the Class is most appreciative.

Introducing The Ratburger, The Newest 'Affordable Cuisine' From China!
Introducing the Ratburger! If you've never tried the Ratburger, you're missing out on the latest in affordable cuisine from China...
Introducing the Ratburger! If you've never tried the Ratburger, you're missing out on the latest in affordable cuisine from China, home of the most trusted food on the planet.
The Ratburger is made only of hand-picked, select cuts of rat meat, finely textured and enhanced for your enjoyment. Don't worry: The head, feet and tails are completely removed by slave labor workers!
The Ratburger comes with a side of "rice" made largely out of plastic, meaning zero calories! Eat as much as you want, we'll make more!
It's served up on a sesame seed bun made, in part, from human hair from which the l-cysteine amino acid is derived. This ingredient, by the way, is used throughout the commercial bread industry as a "dough enhancer." It is derived from human hair collected from the floors of hair salons across China, making it fashionable! You'll also find this ingredient in the pizza dough at your favorite pizza restaurants across the USA.
The bun is adorned with black sesame seeds that have been turned black by dousing regular sesame seeds with black ink. A little ink is good for ya!
When you buy our Ratburger, you get a free Melamine Milkshake, made with extra melamine that causes permanent kidney damage! But kidney damage is cool, because you get to experience the joys of dialysis for the rest of your life, so what's not to like?
On top of all that, every ingredient in the Ratburger is loaded with an extra dose of heavy metals poisoning, including cadmium, arsenic, lead, mercury and also aluminum as a bonus. Where else can you get this kind of value across the full table of elements? Only in the Ratburger from China!
Don't miss the RATBURGER from China, available for a limited time only!

By Joe Haggerty
NEW YORK Shawn Thornton was honored and a little humbled after being named the Boston Bruins' nominee for the Masterton Trophy, given to the player who shows perseverance and dedication to hockey while overcoming odds or giving back to charity in numerous ways. Thornton qualifies on any number of fronts for the honor, and was truly appreciative for the consideration following Mondays morning skate at Madison Square Garden.In addition to the myriad charity endeavors Thornton has become involved in as a full-time resident of Boston over the last four years and the professional attitude he takes in the Bs dressing room, hes also enjoying his best season in the NHL with a career-high 9 goals and 18 points. Not too shabby for a 33-year-old whos had to punch and grind his way into a full-time NHL job, and was certainly deserving of a nomination for the prestigious award.Ageless wonder Mark Recchi was the Boston nominee last year after putting up a fantastic individual season as a 42-year-old wonder to the hockey world.Its an honor. Id like to thank the writers for thinking of me, said Thornton, who is doubtful for Monday nights game against the Rangers because of the 40-stitch cut he suffered on his head last week against the Blackhawks. Its certainly been a long grind for me getting here. Its finally paid off.Thornton was happy to get rid of the visor on his helmet for the morning skate at Madison Square Garden, and said he wasnt going to be playing with it when he does return to the ice. The Bs enforcer also expected that the stitches will be removed from his forehead on Tuesday when the team returns back to Boston.Joe Haggerty can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kung Fu Vampire Succeeding on His Own Terms
Mars sits down with Kung Fu Vampire and discuss him succeeding his own terms, Halloween and so much more! Find out what all he as to say in the interview.
Mars takes over MCD as of today! Cancel your Halloween plans because you've got nothing as scary as a typical day for his horror interview subjects. Against all safety concerns, he cornered Kung Fu Vampire in the studio recording his album Look Alive. After a miraculous escape, he reports that KFV will be headlining HalloweirdFestival Ocober 30th in Marysville, CA.
When I first met Kung Fu Vampire I was invited to join legendary Acid Rap and horrorcore godfather Esham's Helluva Night Tour where KFV was the opening act. Working with Esham had always been a bucket list item for me for several years so I was excited to be able to tour the West Coast with him.
But it couldn't have come at a worse time. I had like maybe 40 bucks to roll up to the first date. My homie J RZ was like "!*(% it! Let's just go anyways!" We budgeted our alcohol intake very wisely. After all, we were going to play places like the Viper Room. We might be able to be the guys that overdose in Hollywood on their sidewalk and become legends. This was going to take careful planning.
I walked into the San Jose, CA venue where Kung Fu Vampire's band was doing soundcheck for the first date of this particular leg of the tour and seen this dude with cello players, drummers, guitarists, singers, keyboard players. It wasn't just a band; this dude had an entire orchestra. I was like "What the !*(%? What is this guy going to do up there?" To top it all off most of his band was made up of the hottest chicks ever.
When it was showtime, this dude came out in a robe with dark eyes, contacts, blades on his fingers and rocked the !*(% out of the show in with gothic-sounding opera hip hop music. It was so close to what horrorcore was doing image-wise, but the sound was funky, and almost positive party music. He got my attention right away. I also took advantage of the free beer backstage and left with $40 emergency drunk money. Score. I later found out it was his personal stash. Oops. My bad.
He was doing things plush as hell when we all were just trying to scrub it out on tour making it from date to date. He got everyone's attention. Kung Fu Vampire was spitting gunfire-rapid verses, and had the presence of a mainstream artist in these little clubs we were playing.
I wanted to work with him. He was going to be the biggest thing in horrorcore if he would only went a little bit in that direction. So the next time I had the opportunity to tour, he was one of the first people I called. I immediately hopped in with his caravan and talked horrorcore with him the entire tour. He was super cool. Player $#!+.
We got along so good the first few days, I asked him to be a part of Mad Insanity Records with me. This was around the time all the Syko Sam murders. I took him to the news with me, and made sure he was on the follow up horrorcore segments. Horrorcore needed to see this guy overtime the genre was brought up.
When he got the bigger artists' attention he hasn't stopped touring since. He's shared the stage with every big artist in our circle around the continent. In horrorcore, he is a haunted household name. But he never changed his sound. Everyone loves him anyways. Dope don't need a title. Dope sells itself. But really this dude is one of my best friends. !*(% the music $#!+. The first interview in my take over for Man Cave Daily is with Kung Fu Vampire.
Mars: Halloween is right around the corner. What do you have planned this year?
KFV: On Devil's Night I'm headlining the third Annual Halloweird Festival in Marysville, CA and on Halloween Night, I'm throwing a small party for all my friends and family that have kids. Naturally, Halloween is my four-year-old daughter's favorite holiday!
Mars: What does your daughter think of her daddy being a vampire every other day of the year for a job?
KFV: She wants me to call her "Lil' Kung Fu" and already has plans to become the next Kung Fu Vampire. She's faced her fears and stared the dark side directly in the face and embraced the balance between Good and Evil.
Mars: Coming from San Jose, with all these artists trying to make it being gangster rappers, do you think it pisses everyone off trying to "keep it real" and keep it hood while Kung Fu Vampire is the biggest band or rapper from their city and totally doesn't try to do that?
KFV: It's kinda a different reaction than that. At first people tried to pass me off as too alternative or "doing his own thing" instead of hip hop. This way they didn't feel like they were competing with something that was clearly "more honed" than what they were doing. Truthfully we were way ahead of our time and it was obvious. In a "tough to break out of" city like San Jose, I was able to be one of the few that gets the respect earned and deserved. At this point I feel that Kung Fu Vampire is an undeniable force and The Zae is behind us.
Mars: What is your opinion on hip hop and rap of today?
KFV: Nothing is missing but the emphasis of what is hot is in the wrong place. There is so much great hip hop out there but people do not know how to find it. A majority of what is fed to the masses is subpar, easy to digest garbage. A popularity contest.
Mars: You are often labeled as horrorcore, but you call your music gothic hip hop. What do you think the biggest difference is between the two?
KFV: I actually just call our music hip hop. I have pulled zero influence from the horrorcore sub-genre despite being one of the genre's most notable artists. Originally I thought our music was different enough that it needed its own name like "Gothic hip hop" but as I grew wiser I realized Kung Fu Vampire is music, no genre just an evolutionary entity free-floating through any style he would like while keeping it hip hop.
Mars: Your Love Bites album has so many styles, yet still has the signature Kung Fu Vampire sound. If somebody was going to listen to a KFV song on Halloween, what would you say would be the one to listen to?
KFV: "Abra Cadaver" off of the album Blood Bath Beyond is dark and aggressive. "Transactions" off of the album Dead Sexy is spooky and gangsta, bringing out my Bay Area roots. "Dead Girls Don't Say No" is silly to me but fun and def. should be bumping loud at every Halloween Party this year.
Mars: I remember pulling up to your house, and there was a wrapped KFV SUV, two wrapped trailers, a 15′ passenger van, and a tour bus parked out front. What do your neighbors think? Are kids allowed to play on your side of the street?
KFV: I'm the strange guy and youngest guy on the block. Everyone says hi to me and in my heart I know behind the smile they are giving me as they walk by with their labrador they are thinking "I've seen your videos young man and you are !*(%ing evil."
Mars: Yeah, !*(% them. Once the alternative hip-hop market got wind of you, you blew up pretty fast. What do you think the formula for your growing success is?
KFV: My formula, straight up is not giving two $#!+s what the consumer wants and just doing what I think is cool music and expresses what I want to express. People gravitate towards stuff like that and you build a deep connection with the supporters/fans and they build the same with you. My music is all over the place, like my personality.
Mars: I know around this time it gets busy for the more established artist of this type. What kind of events do you have coming up after Halloween if people want to go to your show and check the $#!+ out?
KFV: Halloween is a busy time but we keep the momentum going all year long. November 21st I'll be in Reno, NV for Brainfest. Then on November 27th and 28th I'll be doing headlining shows in both Bakersfield and Fresno.

Chose to stay here based on price, reviews, and close proximity to a venue where I was going to see a performance (Hotel Cafe). Since I arrived after the gig, there were no staff on site so I can't comment on them.
The room itself was fine. Clean. Bathroom appears recently remodeled. Towels and sheets smelled of bleach but not strong and I don't mind it....at least I know they're clean! The mattress seemed to be a memory foam type which I found annoying.
The reason I'm rating it poor is due to the noise. Yes, the walls are thin as has been mentioned by other reviewers. The bigger problem was the constant noise of people coming and going in hallway, doors slamming, and people talking. Above me (I was on the ground floor), it sounded at times like they were trying to rearrange the furniture. This continued until 3AM. Since I had to be up by 6AM to catch a flight, I only got three hours of interrupted sleep...for $69. I'd have been better off just going straight back to LAX...the airport would have been quieter!
If I had to stay in the area, I would most likely stay somewhere else. If I had to stay here again, I would definitely ask for a top floor room.

Hi all, I just bumped into this error in the subject. Upon further digging as per commit d748a328aec166047c81bcaf3dec6b0a885a2088, keys starting with an underscore are not accepted as valid... DB="http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb" curl -X PUT $DB curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"docs":[{"key":"baz","_name":"bazzel"},{"key":"bar","_name":"barry"}]}' -X POST $DB/_bulk_docs {"error":"doc_validation","reason":"Bad special document member: _name"} Some modules I'm using as part of a project try to serialize a whole class and some of the keys are serialized with underscores. This means that CouchDB stops being an option for storage. Is there a good reason for this design decision ? Couldn't the underscore keys be validated against the set of reserved words or similar ? Could this be something not serving a useful purpose ? Also, I couldn't find any meaningful caveat about this in the wiki ... Regards, PECastro

text: Government & Politics Switzerland Set to Repatriate $321 million Abacha Loot – Envoy By Philip Posted on July 30, 2016 The Swiss Government will soon repatriate $321 million looted by the Sani Abacha administration. THE EAGLE ONLINE reports that Switzerland's ambassador to Nigeria, Eric Mayoraz, disclosed this on the sideline of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters in Abuja on Friday. Mayoraz said, "The Abacha loot is a very active dossier that we are dealing with now. We have repatriated $722 million in 2005 to Nigeria and we are now in the process of repatriating $321 million from the second batch of Abacha funds that we have collected. ALSO READ: PDP Crisis: Sheriff Speaks Ahead Of Supreme Court Ruling"Today, the signing of the MoU is for the future cases so it will allow better cooperation. If Nigeria has some new cases to submit to Switzerland, this we will be able to do with this new MoU that we just signed today; it will accelerate the process. "It will reduce time for the process of transmitting the legal requests from Nigeria to Switzerland and vice versa because MoU we signed is not only for looted assets, it is for all criminal matters," he said.

MotoGP paddock head out to Circuit of Americas on 12th April, 2015. The weekend was not easy with threats from rain god trying to disrupt proceedings. Surprisingly the skies cleared for qualifying as well as race on Sunday.
The Circuit of Americas is a new track and has fast corners, hard braking and longest straight on the calendar. Ducati surely hold power advantage, however, Yamaha and Honda both are good round the corner.
The second round of MotoGP was contested at Circuit of Americas. Valentino Rossi entered the race with a lead in 2015 CHampionship. It was important to see if Ducati could mark their first victory in the 2015 season.
To no one's surprise Marc Marquez dominated all sessions in America. The youngest MotoGP champion loves the fast flowing track. He secured his consecutive win at the circuit and it was truly a battle for second place and nothing else for the others.
Andrea Dovizioso showcased why Ducati factory team is going to be a tough team in 2015. The Italian secured his second, second place in this championship. The Italian outfit is a dominant force and they will provide tough competition to others.
Multiple MotoGP Champion, Valentino Rossi showcased his skills and proved why he is still the best. The Italian secured third place and was fighting for second intensely, however, he suffered front tyre degradation that ruined his chance for a higher position.
Jorge Lorenzo had an amazing start from the first row, however, he was squeezed on the track and was dropped behind. The Spaniard fought valiantly and slowly yet steadily climbed back up to secure fourth position.
Andrea Iannone also fought hard from the back of the pack. The Italian rider fought hard and was riding for a podium finish, however, his pace fell off and he could manage only fifth position.
Suzuki Ecstar team had a decent run in only their second GP after their comeback. Alexis Espargaro was their best performer and held onto eighth position. The Japanese manufacturer is currently suffering from top speed issues and it is their only downside.
MotoGP rookie Maverick Vinales secured vital points for his team by holding onto ninth place. The Spanish rider is still getting used to his MotoGP machine, it won't be long before he too is fighting for higher positions.
It was a mixed outing for Aprilia team as Alvaro Bautista secured a single point down in 15th position. His team mate marco Melandri could not find his rhythm and had to retire in early stage due to some electronic issue.
