There is no doubt that Tottenham are missing Harry Kane from the starting XI. The Englishman picked up ankle ligament damage in the 1-0 loss to Manchester United and has seen Fernando Llorente replace him in the side. Llorente hasn’t done a poor job, however, there is no other striker in the world who is as good as Kane is.
The Englishman earlier posted a video of him walking in his trainers, and the striker shared an encouraging video of him going through the paces.
Kane can be seen training with the help of some resistance bands and hopefully, he returns as early as possible.
The forward was expected to be out until mid-March but he came back earlier than expected when he picked up an injury last season too.
— Harry Kane (@HKane) January 31, 2019
Spurs play Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 in the Champions League, and it will be interesting to see if Kane returns for the second leg.
Tottenham defeated Watford in their previous game, thanks to goals from Son Heung-min and Llorente. The return of the South Korean is another positive for us but we are also without Dele Alli.
The midfielder hurt his hamstring in the win over Fulham and is expected to be out until March too. Tottenham sit just seven points behind Liverpool in the Premier League and the return of the pair could bring us back in the race for the title.

Noninvasive, In Utero Imaging of Mouse Embryonic Heart Development With 40-MHz Echocardiography
Background—The increasing number of transgenic and targeted mutant mice with embryonic cardiac defects has resulted in the need for noninvasive techniques to examine cardiac structure and function in early mouse embryos. We report the first use of a novel 40-MHz ultrasound imaging system in the study of mouse cardiac development in utero.
Methods and Results—Transabdominal scans of mouse embryos staged between 8.5 and 13.5 days of gestation (E8.5 to E13.5) were obtained in anesthetized mice. Atrial and ventricular contractions could be discerned from E9.5, and changes in cardiac morphology were observed from E9.5 to E13.5. Hyperechoic streaming patterns delineated flow through the umbilical, vitelline, and other major blood vessels. Diastolic and systolic ventricular areas were determined by planimetry of the epicardial borders, and fractional area change was measured as an index of contractile function. Significant increases in ventricular size were documented at each stage between E10.5 and E13.5, and the ability to perform serial imaging studies over 3 days of embryonic development is described. Finally, the detection of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) homozygous null mutant embryos demonstrates the first example of noninvasive, in utero analysis of cardiac structure and function in a targeted mouse mutant.
Conclusions—We used 40-MHz echocardiography to identify key elements of the early mouse embryonic cardiovascular system and for noninvasive dimensional analysis of developing cardiac ventricles. The ability to perform serial measurements and to detect mutant embryos with cardiac defects highlights the usefulness of the technique for investigating normal and abnormal cardiovascular development.
The large number of mouse models with congenital heart defects, many of which result in early embryonic lethality,1 has resulted in a need for new technologies that allow the study of cardiac form and function in utero in mouse embryos. Previous investigations have studied fetal mouse cardiac anatomy and vasculature by examination of fixed specimens by histology,2 3 scanning electron microscopy,4 5 or magnetic resonance microscopy.6 None of these methods have provided real-time imaging of live embryos. More recent studies have looked at mouse embryonic cardiac function with video microscopy,7 8 which requires surgical exposure of the embryos and is therefore unsuited to serial measurements. Transabdominal 7.5-MHz Doppler9 has been used to make noninvasive measurements of embryonic heart but was limited in resolving anatomic details, particularly at earlier embryonic stages. Echocardiography in the frequency range of 3 to 7.5 MHz is an established method for evaluating fetal cardiac anatomy and function in humans beyond the first trimester and, with transvaginal techniques, as early as late first trimester.10 A higher-resolution, real-time ultrasound imaging technique would be invaluable in the study of mutant mouse phenotypes, especially during the early stages of cardiac morphogenesis.
High-frequency (40- to 50-MHz) ultrasound imaging, referred to as UBM, allows high-resolution in utero imaging of live mouse embryos.11 For this study, 40-MHz UBM was used to image the developing hearts of live mouse embryos in utero from gestational age 8.5 to 13.5 days (E8.5 to E13.5). We demonstrate 40-MHz echocardiographic images of the early embryonic mouse heart, allowing quantitative dimensional analysis of the cardiac chambers and serial studies over several days of development. In addition, we demonstrate the first noninvasive, in utero detection of embryos homozygous for a single gene mutation (VCAM-1) resulting in abnormal cardiac development and embryonic lethality. The ability to monitor and follow cardiac development in utero by this approach should be of great benefit in studying form and function relationships in mouse models of cardiovascular disease.
All animals used in these studies were maintained according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Research and Care Committee at New York University Medical Center. Timed pregnant CD1 mice (Charles River, Kingston, NY) and mice heterozygous for a null mutation of VCAM-112 13 were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (5 mg/100 g body wt IP) with added magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 · 7H2O, 10 mg/100 g body wt). Magnesium, a known tocolytic agent, was added to decrease the spontaneous uterine contractions that interfere with image acquisition. Although both agents can have cardiac depressant actions that may introduce confounding factors with functional assessments, nevertheless, anesthesia is required to enable the acquisition of reproducible data. In staging the embryos, day 0.5 (E0.5) was defined as 12 noon of the day a vaginal plug was found after overnight mating. Once the mouse was anesthetized, its lower abdomen and back were wet-shaved to provide a clear window to the embryos, because hair and the trapped microbubbles of air in the hair present an impenetrable barrier to ultrasound at these high frequencies.
The mouse was then placed on the lower level of a 2-level stage, and a small water bath was fitted onto the skin to provide a coupling medium for the transducer (Figure 1A⇓ and 1B⇓). The stage holding the mouse was a simple wooden block (L×W×H=85×120×40 mm) with a trough cut out (W×H=40×15 mm) in which the anesthetized mouse was laid. The water bath was formed by either a 25-mm-diameter plastic cup or a Petri dish with a 25-mm-diameter hole in the center pinned to the top level of the stage to decrease the chances of extrinsic compression from a tight bath. As has been reported previously,7 we noted sensitivity of the embryos to temperature and attempted to maintain normal maternal temperature with external heat lamps.
A high-frequency (40- to 100-MHz) UBM system was developed and constructed in our laboratory14 and was previously demonstrated to be useful for in utero imaging of live mouse embryos11 (Figure 1C⇑). For the present study, a focused 40-MHz transducer was used, with measured lateral resolution of 90 μm, axial resolution of 30 μm, and depth of penetration of 7 to 10 mm.14 The mechanical system scans over an 8-mm linear path, producing real-time images at a rate of 8 images per second, which are then output as video to a monitor/VCR for viewing and capture. Precise and repeatable control over the position of the two-dimensional image plane was made possible with a small motion stage and stepper motor, allowing the image plane to be moved across the embryo in increments ranging between 10 and 100 μm.
Imaging was started from one flank, and embryos were sequentially imaged across the lower abdomen to the opposite flank. Embryos situated too deep in the abdomen were scanned to document their presence but were excluded from data analysis because of poor resolution. The ability to scan adjacent embryos helped in tracking embryos; however, in case of doubt, the embryos were skipped to avoid double sampling, especially when associated with excessive spontaneous uterine movements. Each litter had 6 to 10 embryos available for imaging (average litter size of CD1 mice is 10 to 12 embryos; VCAM-1 mutant mice typically have smaller litters, 5 to 8 embryos). After initial localization of an embryo and optimal placement of the water bath, sequential transabdominal linear scans were obtained at increments of 20 or 100 μm, depending on the size of the embryo and the region of interest, thus imaging the entire embryo. Scan planes were modified by changing the orientation of the mouse with respect to the scan plane, and images were obtained in 2 orthogonal planes for each embryo. An effort was made to obtain views approximating the transverse, frontal, or sagittal planes but was sometimes limited to oblique planes by the position of the uterus in the abdomen. A total of 234 embryos staged between E8.5 and E13.5 were imaged with UBM over the course of this study.
Toward the end of the present imaging study, a UBM image-guided 40-MHz continuous-wave Doppler system was developed15 15A and used to obtain nonambiguous in utero heart rate data by measuring waveforms of the umbilical artery and vein in 10 E13.5 embryos from 2 different litters (Figure 2⇓).
All imaging sessions were recorded in S-VHS video format that allowed off-line review and analysis. Although cardiac activity was discernible as early as E8.5, the heart structures at E8.5 to E9.5 were too small for reliable cardiac measurements to be made. In the older embryos (E10.5 onward), scans through the embryonic heart were selected and off-line analysis was performed with a Hewlett Packard Sonos 1000 clinical ultrasound system. At E10.5 and E11.5, embryos with scans in the transverse/oblique transverse plane showing a small part of the atria and a view of both ventricles were selected (Figure 3A⇓ through 3C). At E12.5 and E13.5, views representative of the 4-chamber view were selected (Figure 3D⇓ through 3F). Calibration of measurement software was performed by use of scale markers on the recorded video screen. Sequential video fields were analyzed, and frames representative of ventricular end systole and end diastole were determined. Given the echogenicity of the blood pool, the endocardial borders could not be identified; hence, the ventricular area was determined by planimetry of the epicardial borders (Figure 3A⇓ and 3D⇓) similar to previous measurements made with video microscopy on surgically exposed mouse embryos.12 13 Because of the limitations of the relatively low frame rate in reliably identifying end diastole and end systole, an average of the maximal and minimal areas obtained for 4 cardiac cycles was taken to be representative. At E12.5 and E13.5, areas were determined for RVs and LVs individually, whereas combined ventricular area was determined at E10.5 and E11.5 because of the lack of significant development of the interventricular septum. The FAC was calculated for each of these as the difference between the diastolic area and systolic area, indexed as a percentage of diastolic area.
Data are reported as mean±SD. To test for intraobserver variability, 10 embryos from E12.5 or E13.5 and 7 embryos from E10.5 or E11.5 were analyzed. Four diastolic and 4 systolic frames were selected for each embryo, and ventricular areas were determined. Variability was expressed as difference from the mean of the 2 results in percentage of the mean for diastolic area, systolic area, and averaged FAC. The independent t test was used to compare ventricular areas between the groups.
UBM Images of Normal E8.5 to E13.5 Mouse Embryos
Images obtained by 40-MHz echocardiography had some characteristics that differ from lower-frequency clinical ultrasound. At this high frequency, the blood pool appears highly echogenic, and as such, the heart was readily identified on real-time images as a bright, highly echogenic structure with rhythmic contractions (Figure 3⇑). This also imparted a dramatic speckle movement due to blood flow, which on real time made the blood vessels prominent. This effect was less apparent on still frames, in which the contrast from the moving speckle pattern was lost. On real-time video images, the umbilical vessels (Figure 2A⇑), vitelline vessels, dorsal aorta (Figure 1C⇑), great veins, and cerebral vessels were all easily identified.
As with clinical fetal ultrasound, embryonic orientation was first determined by scanning from top to bottom. The consistent orientation of normal mouse embryos within the uterus, with the placenta and the tail to the right of the embryo, was confirmed and used to identify cardiac structures. Cardiac contractions were identified in some E8.5 embryos, and by E9.5 the common atrium and ventricle could be distinguished. By E10.5 to E11.5, the distinction between the presumptive LVs and RVs became more apparent. The outflow tract was prominent (Figure 4A⇓ through 4C), and 2 parallel streams of blood flow were apparent on real time. Synchronous and discernible atrial and ventricular contractions were apparent as early as E9.5, with atrial contraction occurring at end diastole. At E12.5 to E13.5, there was a marked increase in the size of all 4 chambers of the heart, and a change in the configuration of the outflow tract was apparent (Figure 4D⇓, E13.5). By sequential scanning, volumetric structures could be followed through consecutive image planes (Figure 5⇓). In stage E12.5 and E13.5 embryos, a distinct “C”-shaped aorta could be traced, arising from the LV and passing to the right of the pulmonary artery before looping to the left (Figure 5C⇓). The placenta changed from a discoid structure at E10.5 to a larger planoconvex structure by E13.5, with prominent sinusoids on its outer surface.
Embryos have previously been imaged over 3 consecutive days, after which the pregnancies went to term and no adverse effects on live-born animals were observed.11 Although the objective of the present study was to demonstrate the detailed anatomic data on embryonic cardiac morphology possible with 40-MHz echocardiography, we recognize the importance of the technique for serial studies of individual embryos, particularly in studies of mutant embryos to follow the dynamic progression of specific cardiac defects. To further test the feasibility of serial studies, 4 litters were imaged on 3 consecutive days, from embryonic stage E11.5 to E13.5. After 1 additional day (E14.5), the anesthetized mothers were killed by cervical dislocation and the embryos dissected and examined under a dissection microscope. In all embryos in the 4 litters (n=31), both the UBM images and gross morphology were normal.
Ventricular Dimensions and FAC
Ventricular area was obtained by planimetry of the epicardial surfaces in a group of embryos (82 of 147 normal embryos staged between E10.5 and E13.5) selected to have the best views for performing quantitative analysis (see the Methods section). There was a significant increase in ventricular size with age. From E10.5 to E11.5, the combined ventricular area increased from 1.47±0.33 to 2.02±0.21 mm2 in diastole and from 0.86±0.18 to 1.27±0.15 mm2 in systole (P<0.001). Similar significant increases were noted from E12.5 to E13.5 for both ventricles (Table 1⇓). At these stages, the RV and LV were well balanced, with no significant difference in size. The FAC was 41±7% at E10.5 (n=15) and 37±5% at E11.5 (n=16). The FAC was similar for both ventricles through E12.5 (RV, 32±7%; LV, 34±5%; n=21) and E13.5 (RV, 34±6%; LV, 34±6%; n=30) (Table 1⇓). Because combined ventricular area was used at the earlier stages, no direct comparison was made with older embryos. At E13.5, heart rate measured by 40-MHz Doppler was 196±27 bpm (Figure 2⇑), which is similar to reported values of 157±27 bpm9 and 173±7.5 bpm7 for this gestational age.
The intraobserver variabilities at E12.5 and 13.5 were 0.4±2.3% for RV diastolic area, 1±1.6% for RV systolic area, 1.1±2.7% for RV FAC, 0.8±1.1% for LV diastolic area, 0.2±2.1% for LV systolic area, and 1.8±3.6% for LV FAC. Corresponding values at E10.5 and E11.5 were 0.6±2.9% for combined diastolic area, 0.6±0.7% for systolic area, and 0.7±7.3% for FAC. To study the reproducibility of data in different litters and the variability of the technique, results from 2 litters at E13.5 were compared (Table 2⇓) and showed no significant differences.
Abnormal embryos observed during the course of this study included numerous dead, resorbing embryos, which are expected and found in most strains of mice.16 Two E13.5 embryos were noted that showed features of hydrops, with evidence of pleural and large pericardial effusions and a small, sluggishly contracting heart. In 1 of these animals, the calculated RV FAC was 19% and the LV FAC was 13%.
VCAM-1 Mutant Studies
To investigate the utility of 40-MHz echocardiography in the noninvasive detection of targeted mouse mutant embryos with defects in cardiac development, we performed in utero imaging studies on 4 litters (n=29) from VCAM-1 heterozygous intercrosses. VCAM-1 homozygous null mutant embryos have been reported to die in utero, exhibiting 2 distinct phenotypes.12 13 Approximately half of the null mutants die before E11.5 and exhibit a failure of the allantois to fuse with the chorion. The remaining VCAM-1 null mutants appear to form a normal connection between allantois and chorion but still die at E12.5 from cardiac-specific defects, including a lack of epicardium and reduction of the ventricular myocardium and intraventricular septum.
Two VCAM-1 heterozygous mutant females were imaged at E10.5, after which the mice were killed and their embryos dissected for analysis. In the first mouse, 5 embryos were imaged on the left uterine horn, 1 of which was identified as a mutant from the prominent pericardial effusion, separation of allantois from chorion, and little or no cardiac activity (Figure 6A⇓; compare with sagittal image of normal E10.5 embryo, Figure 1C⇑). After dissection, the embryo showed the same gross morphological features as identified on ultrasound (Figure 6B⇓) and was confirmed by Southern blot analysis of yolk sac tissue to be a homozygous mutant.12 In a second mouse, 9 embryos were imaged and 2 identified as VCAM-1 null mutants, subsequently confirmed by genotype analysis, with UBM features similar to those noted above. The ventricular area measured in the VCAM-1 homozygous mutant embryos (0.62 and 0.49 mm2) was well below that measured in normal E10.5 embryos (diastolic area, 1.47 mm2; systolic area, 0.86 mm2), and there was no discernible difference between diastole and systole in the detected mutants. Combined ventricular FAC was measured in 4 heterozygous VCAM-1 mutants in the same litter and was found to have no significant difference from FAC measured in normal E10.5 embryos (47±8% for VCAM-1 heterozygotes versus 41±7% for normal embryos). Interestingly, a third homozygous mutant was present in the litter that had normal appearance on UBM images and also appeared normal when examined for gross morphology.
A third mouse had 8 embryos, which all appeared normal when imaged on 2 successive days (E10.5 and E11.5), and subsequent genotype analysis showed that there were no homozygous mutants in the litter. Finally, a fourth mouse had 7 embryos, which were imaged at E12.5, 2 of which were obviously dead and resorbing, with a characteristic echogenic rim around their hearts. Both dead embryos were subsequently confirmed by genotype analysis to be VCAM-1 homozygous mutants.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of noninvasive real-time imaging of the early embryonic mouse heart in vivo by high-frequency ultrasound. For the first time, dimensional analysis of the cardiac ventricles has been demonstrated with 40-MHz echocardiography, and ventricular area change has been measured as a noninvasive index of contractile function. The developmental stages studied, E8.5 to E13.5, correspond to ≈3 to 6 weeks of human gestation2 17 and are the earliest hearts to be studied in utero in the developing mouse. Gui et al9 used transabdominal 7.5-MHz Doppler ultrasound to obtain functional data from E10.5 to E19 mouse embryos, but the frequency used was inadequate to image embryonic cardiac anatomy, and therefore positioning of the Doppler sample volume was only inferred from the similarity of the waveforms to those measured in later-stage human fetuses. The future combination of Doppler measurements, guided by UBM imaging to specific regions of the developing heart, should provide a powerful method for assessing cardiac function in mouse embryos. In this report, we provide preliminary data to show the feasibility of in utero UBM-guided Doppler measurements of umbilical blood velocity in E13.5 mouse embryos.
Video microscopy has been used previously to image the heart in chick,18 19 rat,20 21 and mouse7 8 embryos. Unlike chick embryos, however, mammalian embryos must be exposed by opening the maternal abdominal wall and uterus, or in the case of early-stage embryos (E8.5 to E10.5), by maintaining the embryos in culture, to allow optical imaging. In either case, viable embryos can be maintained only for short periods of time, precluding the possibility of serial studies over several days of development. MR microscopy of embryonic mouse heart gives excellent resolution,6 but noninvasive live cardiac MR microimaging has not been demonstrated. The morphological changes in the developing mouse heart as determined by 40-MHz echocardiography are similar to those described previously by scanning electron microscopy4 5 and histological sections.2 There are currently no competing in vivo imaging methods that combine the image frame rate, resolution, and penetration of UBM for embryonic imaging and serial in utero studies.
Ventricular epicardial area measures have previously been correlated with ventricular mass and stroke volume in chick embryos.18 With UBM, we obtained ventricular epicardial areas and documented a significant increase in ventricular size with gestational age, as has been shown by more invasive methods.4 7 Given the constant remodeling of the embryonic heart during cardiac morphogenesis, calculation of ventricular volumes by use of geometric assumptions is likely to be inaccurate; hence, we used FAC as an index of contractile function. Moreover, during the earlier embryonic stages (E10.5 to E11.5), although a prominent interventricular sulcus is seen, the interventricular septum is poorly formed,5 and combined ventricular area change was taken to be a more reliable estimate of function at these stages. Ventricular areas measured by UBM at E12.5 to E13.5 are comparable to those reported by Keller et al,7 although our values for ventricular areas were somewhat larger (eg, E13.5 LV/RV diastolic area, 1.51±0.24/1.47±0.2 mm2 in the present study versus 0.96±0.05/1.19±0.04 mm2 in Keller et al7 ). However, the 2 studies differ in the methodology (noninvasive versus surgical exposure of embryos), the projections used to obtain ventricular areas, and the strains of mice imaged, all of which could contribute to the differences noted.
One limitation of the current UBM imaging system is the relatively slow frame rate (8 images per second). Given a heart rate of 120 to 200 bpm,7 9 this gives only 2 to 4 frames for each cardiac cycle. We attempted to minimize the error by averaging 4 measures of apparent end systole and end diastole. The rapid heart rates and the movements associated with maternal respiration made it difficult to calculate heart rate visually from the video images. However, the heart rates that we measured by Doppler were similar to or even higher than those reported by other investigators at similar embryonic stages. We noted a sensitivity of the embryonic heart rates to the level of sedation and temperature and the importance of minimizing heat loss.7 The availability of UBM-guided Doppler, currently being developed in our laboratory, will make it possible to monitor heart rate and blood flow patterns while obtaining real-time images. The marked prominence of the blood vessels, especially the umbilical vessels, which are isolated from the rest of the embryo, makes the use of image-guided Doppler interrogation an exciting possibility that would aid in establishing functional and morphological correlation in the developing mammalian cardiovascular system.
Ultimately, the value of the UBM imaging technology will be revealed in future investigations of mutant mouse embryos with cardiac defects. In the present study, VCAM-1 homozygous mutants were identified in utero by 40-MHz echocardiographic imaging. This is the first demonstration of the utility of UBM, or any other imaging method, to noninvasively detect targeted mutant mouse embryos with cardiac defects. Analysis of a limited number of VCAM-1 heterozygous mutants demonstrated normal values of ventricular FAC, providing further support for the hypothesis that these animals do not have impaired cardiac function. Future measurements of umbilical and cardiac Doppler waveforms in VCAM-1 mutant embryos should clarify whether the cardiac-specific phenotype is a secondary effect of abnormal placental circulation13 or is a primary defect associated with the loss of VCAM-1 expression.12 Serial studies of normal and mutant embryos with cardiac defects provide a unique method to determine the effects of specific genes on the functional development of the cardiovascular system.

The decision by The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) to award the contract for a 2006 Motor Show to the London consortium of Excel, London EventCo and Single Market Events, has shocked industry observers.
The bid from the Birmingham NEC and Haymarket Exhibitions was considered favourite to emerge victorious from the four-month pitching process. The venue extends over 125,000sq m and is the UK's largest exhibition space, capable of holding the 500,000 visitors the show needs to attract over its 11 days, according to the SMMT's brief.
In the aftermath of the 10-year licensing contract being awarded to the 90,000sq m Excel site in London's Docklands, the SMMT criticised the midlands venue of complacency in its bid, which led to motoring manufacturers voting to move the event to London.
"The NEC was given every opportunity to address both the failings of the 2004 Motor Show and the concerns exhibitors had over stand costs and carpark charges, but it didn't respond," says a senior SMMT source. "We had practically given Haymarket and the NEC preferred bidder status and a second pitch allowed the opportunity to improve its bid. Excel's consortium returned with a much improved proposal whilst the NEC remained overly reliant on the amount of space it could provide."
Christopher Macgowan, chief executive of the SMMT, adds: "While we understand this decision will come as a disappointment to the midlands, the reality is that Excel presented a very strong bid while the NEC was unable to deliver a proposal that responded to market demands."
The NEC Group chief executive Andrew Morris responds: "We genuinely believe that our plans provided the best possible solution to the question of how to develop the Motor Show. Feedback from visitors and exhibitors to the new-style show in 2004 was very positive and it is sad that we shall not have the opportunity to build on our commitment.
"Given the support that we were enjoying for our proposals we are incredulous about this decision and once the automotive industry has come to terms with it, I would not be at all surprised if we see a backlash and defections from the show."
Single Market Events managing director Tim Etchells is, however, confident that the manufacturers will support a 2006 London event planned for 12-23 July, claiming his consortium's proposals received unanimous support.
The manufacturers will also be impressed by the consortium's £2.5m marketing budget.
"Our plan centred around making the car the star and emphasised real value for both exhibitors and visitors," Etchells says. "Entrance ticket prices will be kept low and exhibitors will be encouraged to book smaller stands while we create a real festival environment across the site."
Single Market Events and London EventCo plan to install a 1km-long racetrack around the venue halls, which will form a live action arena. Much of the activity will take place outside of Excel including a Rock around the Dock concert earmarked for the weekend, drive-in movie screenings and test-drive tracks. Etchells continues: "The content was very much a double-act between myself and London EventCo managing director Rob MacKenzie. It is by far the most exciting challenge I have faced."
Haymarket Exhibitions managing director Gavin Brown conceded defeat but insisted that the NEC did address the issues that came out of the 2004 event. He believes that the deciding factor in awarding the contract to Excel was its London location but says that the venue will struggle to attract 35,000 visitors a day.
"We worked closely with the local council and Advantage West Midlands to put together a winning bid but the SMMT indicated that London was a more favoured location," says Brown. "The failings of the 2004 event were not of the NEC's making. A change in date plus the re-brand confused the visitor and that, ultimately, rests with the SMMT."
The NEC's Morris has indicated that he may still launch other events aimed at the automotive sector in Birmingham, but Haymarket Exhibitions is unlikely to be involved. Brown explains: "We already run Autosport International and Max Power Live at the NEC, which have a significant economic impact on the region. Naturally we are disappointed about losing out on the Motor Show but we must now focus on developing our highly successful portfolio."

Asiatic Library recently celebrated the legendary Saadat Hasan Manto’s writing. Ronita Torcato reports
For someone who died young, despairingly young at 43 from alcoholism, the iconic Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto wrote prodigiously: 22 collections of short stories, five collections of radio plays, three collections of essays, a novel and several screenplays.
Born in Samrala, Punjab, Manto lived in Mumbai (then Bombay) for 12 years and immortalised the city in his stories before he migrated to Pakistan in 1947.
His essays are said to be full of irony, satire, self ridicule and sorrow. One of his most famous works is of course the short story "Toba Tek Singh", about an insane asylum on the border of the two recently divided nations.
In this story, the scene where a madman climbs a tree and declares ‘I want to live neither in Hindustan nor in Pakistan. I had rather live on this tree,’ probably captures the lunacy of the Partition and violence that followed it, especially since, outside the asylum, the supposed sane were slaughtering neighbours and friends.
Several of his stories had conflicted, complex characters: a Muslim father who rejoices on finding his daughter alive in a refugee camp, the Sikh who is stabbed by his wife during sex when he confesses to raping a corpse, a Jewish girl who sacrifices herself to save a Sikh man during Muslim-Sikh riots and the Hindu prostitute who opens the door stark naked to a pimp.
Manto did not see his characters through the lens of religion, caste or community. For Manto, these people are just human.
"If you find these stories intolerable," he once said, "it must mean that we live in an intolerable age." Pilloried as a drunkard and “kafir” (Arabic for unbeliever) Manto was hauled up for obscenity three times in British India, and thrice after Partition in Pakistan. And what did he write about that got everyone's goat on both sides of the border! Massacres, rape, addictions, prostitution, poverty!
He predicted the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan in sardonic “Letters to Uncle Sam”. In one, written a year before he died, he wrote that the US “will definitely make a military aid pact with Pakistan because you are really worried about the integrity of this largest Islamic sultanate of the world and why not, as our mullahs are the best antidote to Russia’s communism. If the military aid starts flowing, you should begin by arming the mullahs.”
In another essay, he predicted a future where music, art, literature and poetry would be censored. That future is already upon us. But it was not so in the city that Manto had lived in between 1936 and 1948. “I am a walking, talking Bombay" Manto would write in 1951, four years before he died in Lahore.
To celebrate this legend’s life and letters, Mumbai Research Centre of the Asiatic Society recently organised a day long program of events. These included a culture walk by Rafique Baghdadi, an expert on Bombay’s history and a great fan of Manto’s writings.
The walk took participants over Kennedy Bridge, the erstwhile location of Jyoti Studios owned by Ardeshir Irani, producer of the first talkie Alam Ara whose release coincided with the execution of Bhagat Singh.(Manto wrote the screenplay of the first Indian colour film, Kisan Kanya produced by Irani)
The walk then meandered through the gullies of Grant Road, sallied through streets where sex "workers" live in "cages", wandered through Nagpada, the hustling-bustling Arab Galli where the iconic writer had first stayed when he came to the city, at age 24 from Ludhiana.
After his marriage to Safiya in 1942, Manto would move to a quiet precint, into a building called Adelphi inside a spacious compound on Clare Road, Byculla, where a large number of Jews, Christians and Muslims lived.
Filmmaker Nandita Das showed a trailer titled “Manto” where Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays the iconic writer.
Her biopic traces the most tumultuous years in the life of iconoclast in India and Pakistan. It has been screened at the Cannes Film Festival and to a ticketed audience in Sydney and will be shown in September at the Toronto International Film Festival where she last went a decade ago with her directorial debut "Firaaq" featuring Nawazuddin.
Das described Manto as "a misfit, brutally honest, rude,very sensitive and also arrogant. A maverick who lived on his own terms." Researching her Manto biopic Das recalled her Lahore meeting with Manto's sister-in-law who "kept weeping at every question."
After Partition, Manto had begun to feel paranoid. The story goes that he was shaken by a film colleague who told him, " I feel like slicing a knife through your throat". Given the nature of Hindi filmdom and Bollywood which has always been secular and cosmpolitan, I don't know if that story is true. But this one is: As Manto lay dying in Lahore, broke and heartbroken, he kept insisting he was in Bombay.

text: Ive been riding my size large 2019 stache 7 for about 8 months. I really like the bike and it came with a stock 60mm stem. I am running an aftermarket 760mm handlebar. I always feel though that the steering is just a tad slow. Like its not pointing/responding quickly enough to input especially when going fast. I was thinking of a shorter 50mm stem to quicken the steering. Anyone have any thoughts/similar experiences/advice on this?

Would replacing a 3.7v 1000mAh lithium ion battery with a 3.7v 5000mAh lithium ion batter make my projects last longer between charges?
Except in very pathological cases, the replacement will let your project last 5 times as long. Consider: Let's say your project draws 1 amp. By definition, your battery will produce that current for 1 hour. That's what 1000 mAh means - 1000 mA x 1 hour. By the same token, 5000 mAh / 1000 mA gives 5 hours.
Like I say, there are some exceptions, but the general principle is clear.
An example of an exception: Your project heats up (and keeps getting hotter) and just barely survives the one hour duration the first battery produces. With a larger battery, the project catches fire after 2 hours. Like I say, pretty unlikely, but not impossible.

Data has this marvelous capacity to show patterns of human behavior, tell stories and even predict what we are going to do next. It’s the premise of “Dataclysm”—the stories data tells about what we value, how we think and act. I chose the book as one of my 2015 reads because of the big mountain of data that education institutions are collecting; I wanted to get a glimpse into how data predicts behavior, to learn about privacy boundaries, and was hoping to get a glimpse into how data might help us design, develop and deliver better learning experiences for students. A tall order. Not surprisingly I didn’t find answers; but I did learn about the power that data holds and discovered a good report by EDUCAUSE that does have some of the answers I was looking for.
The biggest takeaway from “Dataclysm” is the incredible potential data holds, which can translate to education sector. On its own data has no value, but with the right software data can inform, support, predict and help. Most organizations including education institutions collect mounds of data. Some is put to good use though according to the EDUCAUSE report the majority of data is used to satisfy credentialing or reporting requirements rather than to address strategic questions. And much of the data collected is not used at all (Bichsel, 2012). Education data is of abundance. Students generate a significant chunk. Every time a student logs-on to the LMS, school portal, or uses school software, printers, e-books, etc. data is collected. Every click, key stroke, time on web pages, links clicked are recorded.
I definitely think it’s good. … All of this data — everything in the book and generally anything you read online about people’s behavior on sites — is aggregated and anonymous. Nobody’s looking at your personal account. But when you put all this stuff together, you’re able to look at people in a way that people have never been able to look at people before. — Christian Rudder, Author of “Dataclysm: Who We Are” NPR Interview
Rudder, author of the book and quote above, is also co-founder of the dating site OKCupid. He gets most of the content for his book from data on his site though he also draws from Twitter and Facebook. Rudder describes how he takes data, without identifying details such as user names, and analyzes it to create narratives that describe human behaviors. The book is full of stories the data tells about race, gender and politics, which at times was disturbing. Not the writing, which is witty and entertaining, but the results of his analyses. Rudder calls his work more of a ‘sociological experiment’, examining human behavior, values, even biases by looking at (online) actions, words, choices, link clicks, and ratings.
‘Dataclysm’ was interesting—not instructive but insightful. Since finishing the book I’ve recognized how, what many label as disruptive services, are data-driven. Uber for instance, the new taxi service. Its business model rests entirely upon big data. Uber uses complex algorithms to aggregate data into actionable info that quite literally drives the business (Marr, 2014). Another—a new email program by Google, SmartReply, can write email responses for us by using machine learning to ‘work on a data set that they cannot read’ (Corrado, 2015). Whatever that means. But the gist is, its BIG data behind it.
Big Data and Education
EDUCUASE defines analytics as “a tool used in addressing strategic problems or questions”. Analytics are typically applied to institutional data and learning or academic data. Yet it appears that the potential of big data in education is yet to be tapped. The field is broad, complex and there are numerous barriers as described by Bichsel.
One of the major barriers to analytics in higher education is cost. Many institutions view analytics as an expensive endeavor rather than as an investment. Much of the concern around affordability centers on the perceived need for expensive tools or data collection methods. What is needed most, however, is investment in analytics professionals who can contribute to the entire process, from defining the key questions todeveloping data models to designing and delivering alerts, dashboards, recommendations and reports.
Though there are many institutions working extensively in learning analytics with the goal of helping students succeed and improving outcomes. One is University of Michigan who have helped create a standard that ensures third-party vendors (e.g. LMS providers) provide institutions with access to data generated by their students—not to withhold the data which can be critical for schools looking to use it to support and inform student success (Mathewson, 2015). Another is Purdue University who has done extensive work in academic analytics with its LMS program Course Signals (Research on Course Signals, n.d.).
Rudder states in his book that we are on the ‘brink of a revolution—a data revolution‘. I think he may be right. The education sector may take some time to figure it out, but for those that get it right, it will be revolutionary.

A recent discovery by developers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry, reveals that a vulnerability in the popular social media platform TikTok could let hackers replace users’ videos with fake ones.
The developer duo has published their findings in a blog post where they explain that some insecure practices followed by TikTok have opened a loophole for attackers.
Just like other social media apps, TikTok also uses a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to transfer gigantic amounts of videos and other data over the internet quickly. However, in TikTok’s case, its CDN uses less secure HTTP connection to improve performance.
It’s a known fact that a middle man, be it some attacker, government, or an ISP, can easily decipher HTTP traffic. As a result, an evil-minded person could access a TikTok user’s entire video collection, their watch history, and what videos they download.
The attacker can even replace videos with fake ones, or from other verified TikTok accounts, the developers warn.
Inserting fake video in WHO’s TikTok account
To support their claims, Mysk and Bakry created a proof-of-concept where they inserted a coronavirus misinformation video into the official TikTok account of the World Health Organization (WHO).
However, before you get worried, the trickery didn’t spread any fake news on the internet because no change was made to TokTok’s official servers.
What the developers did here is they fooled the TikTok app (installed on a device connected to their home WiFi network) into sending requests to their custom server designed to mimic TikTok’s CDNs.
So, by taking control of the router present between the TikTok app and TikTok’s CDNs, the developers can view and insert whatever they want. All they need to do is change the DNS record information on the router, making the app redirect itself to the fake server every time.
TikTok’s competitors use HTTPS
Mysk also analyzed the traffic of other high-profile TikTok competitors, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and discovered that almost all of their traffic was passing through HTTPS connections.
“They have ZERO HTTP traces. They transfer all of their data using HTTPS,” he told Mashable.
Both Apple and Google have mandated the use of HTTPS connections for Android and iOS apps. However, they allow some exceptions due to compatibility reasons. It seems TikTok made good use of it.
All in all, not using industry-standard security protocols is more of a dumb move from an app that has spread like wildfire. To put things in context, TikTok has over 800 million monthly active users.
The popular social media platform already raises too many eyebrows due to its roots coming out of China. Still, it manages to pose itself as a threat to biggies like YouTube which is known to be working on a TikTok alternative.
Earlier this year, TikTok came under fire for allegedly suppressing videos of disabled users and for a vulnerability that could expose private videos. Furthermore, the app was also labeled spyware by Reddit CEO Jack Steve Huffman.

So I finally got down to checking out the music of indie band The Clouds from Jakarta after they sent me an email a while ago. I must say that I’m pleasantly surprised by what I heard. My impression of bands from Indonesia is that they’re of the hard rock/metal type sound which usually gives me a headache and I confess that I had mentally lumped them into that category.
The Clouds sound very radio friendly actually. They actually remind me of how Electrico sounded like when they released their first album. After listening to them, I’d say that The Clouds are soft/pop rock.
Listen to their music and tell them what you think about their music by commenting on this page or tweet them at @theclouds_jkt or leave them a message on their facebook page.


Leave Her to Heaven
Who made it: Directed by John Brahm. With Gene Tierney, Cornel Wilde, Vincent Price.
Audience appeal: 12 and up
Once upon a time: She's always been daddy's little girl, and even after daddy's gone, Ellen Berent remains spoiled and determined to get what she wants — right now, writer Richard Harland, who happens to look just like dear old Dad. But then others obliviously intrude. And Ellen grows determined to make sure that her beloved Richard is either hers alone — or nobody's.
Inappropriate material: There's a cold-hearted murder and — another equally chilly forced miscarriage.
Why kids will like it: Star Gene Tierney is, of course, beautiful — particularly here, in Leon Shamroy's Oscar-winning cinematography. But her devotion to Daddy is one that a lot of tween girls will have to admit to. And how that love curdles — and turns into a selfish, murderous rage that puts everybody in her family at risk, particularly her new husband's sweet, disabled teenage brother — is one that will chill them.
Why adults will like it: This wasn't just Fox's biggest hit of the decade but one of its most beautiful contradictions. On one hand, it's a gorgeous film, shot in typically lush Fox Technicolor, and often on lovely locations; on the other, it's the darkest of noirs. And while Cornel Wilde is no firebrand as the hero, Vincent Price is waspish fun as Tierney's spurned boyfriend.
Fast forward/freeze frame: Again, spoiler alert, but that Ellen has to deliberately give herself a miscarriage in order to terminate her pregnancy may require some explaining.
Fun trivia: Among the early ideas for Ellen: Tallulah Bankhead and Rita Hayworth. Tierney, though, was the outside-the-box choice, and it won her an Oscar nomination. This was also the third of four films that Fox contract players Vincent Price and Tierney made together (although she never mentions him in her memoirs, "Self-Portrait" — hmm...) And are you impressed by Darryl Hickman's swimming scene in that cold lake? Well, good. Because the young actor reportedly caught pneumonia, it took so long to shoot.
Teachable moments: : The novel it's based on, by Ben Ames Williams, isn't a bad read. But interestingly, Laura Caspary — whose "Laura" gave Tierney her first great vehicle — wrote an even better one about a manipulative bride, "Bedelia." (Meanwhile, if you feel like retro radio thrills, check out this one-hour audio adaption of "Leave Her to Heaven," with both Tierney and Wilde back in the cast.
Double features: Bette Davis in "The Little Foxes" has her own, icy moment of complete dispassion. (And Tierney is no slouch in "The Razor's Edge," which we'll get to later.) But older — say, 16-and-up — teens may really enjoy "To Die For," Gus Van Sant's cold, not-for-kids thriller with Nicole Kidman as a woman who marries her way to the middle — but then decides to get to the top.

MY childhood memories of sailing holidays?
A heady, sensory cocktail made up of the following smells:
- The heads
- Oilskin waterproofs
Those were the days – my brother, sister and I huddled in silent, miserable unity as my Dad sailed his 27ft Seamaster around the Cornish coastline. So, it was with some trepidation that we packed up Oliver and Esme, our six year old twins, for their first sailing holiday.
We needn’t have worried – the moment they set eyes on our boat, a 444 catamaran called Skywalker, they were hooked. Even before we’d hauled the luggage aboard, they’d investigated every nook and cranny, from bow to stern. It’s like a child’s dream den – plus it doubles up as their very own pirate ship!
We chose the Ionian for its family-friendly sailing, with short hops between stops, calm seas and plentiful beaches. And there’s plenty to sooth adult souls too, with stunning turquoise waters, picturesque harbours and delicious food in quaint quayside taverns. As we sailed, Oliver and Esme took turns at being “Captain” at the helm or “Look out”, spotting landmarks and navigation buoys. Or even, to our greatest surprise, simply laying back and watching the world go by (albeit until they started squabbling).
We were on the Kefalonia Flotilla, along with 10 other boats, plus our lead boat Quest. As it was half-term, most of the them had been chartered by families, so Oliver and Esme had a gaggle of mates from day one – it was lovely watching them piling on and off each other’s boats or grabbing their swimming cossies and heading for the water.
Throughout the week, when the weather threw everything at us, our lead crew were heroes! Whether seeing the last boat out of port in the morning or waiting in the pouring rain at the end of the day, Skipper Tom was steadfastly cheerful. Engineer Ray was a magician, fixing outboards, untangling painters from propellers and diving down to uncross anchor, after anchor… after anchor. Hostess Claire ensured we knew where we needed to be and what was worth seeing on the way. Plus, she kept us entertained with quizzes, cocktail competitions and top-of-the-mast egg drop challenges (she mixes a mean punch too).
Seeing the bright flags of Quest at each port or mooring was reassurance. So, if it’s reassurance you’re after, a Flotilla sailing holiday is the way to go.
Consider a catamaran
As a lifelong mono sailor I’ll admit I was a bit snobby, but the space and stability makes a cat excellent for energetic young children. It can easily sleep two families, giving each their own “hull”, with plenty of space up top (great for hosting a G&T end-of-day catch-up!).
Fall for a Flotilla
Having other children around at the start and end of the day was perfect entertainment for our two, giving us time to get to know our fellow crews. And, in the summer holidays, Flotillas from Lefkas have a Kids Coordinator organising daily activities to keep them busy while you relax (or top up your glasses with the local beverage!).
Maximize your peace of mind
With less to worry about, you’ve got more time to enjoy your holiday! Sunsail provides children’s lifejackets, plus we requested safety netting as an extra, removing any worry about tripping over, etc. on their first trip out. We also set the rules early on – the kids stayed below when setting off or mooring up and they weren’t allowed on deck while we were under sail.
Hire your own pirate captain
At the last minute, my poor Dad fell ill and couldn’t join us and, though I grew up sailing, I'm not qualified yet. Thankfully, Sunsail came through with Skipper Laura. We hadn't thought to hire a skipper, but if you want to experience sailing without getting qualified or prefer to let someone else take the helm, it's perfect. Laura let us get involved when we wanted, giving us tips on our sailing technique, or took control when we were hanging out with the kids. Whether being winched up masts, learning the delights of rainbow looms or listening patiently to the finer details of Minecraft, Laura was a hit (sorry Dad)!
Get them involved
Spotting landmarks, making knots, rowing the dinghy, fishing off the back – there’s so much to do that you won’t do at home and Oliver and Esme loved it!
But what did they actually think? Here’s the top 5 things they loved about their first sailing holiday:
Our boat called Skywalker!
Falling off the paddle board – a lot
Practicing winching with the winch handle
My new friend Wilf’s mum teaching me to paddle a kayak!
The punch party when Host Claire made us our very own punch!
Making lots of new friends
Rowing the dinghy under the boat!
Helping Mummy and Daddy steer the boat
Pretending to be a captain on our own pirate ship
The beach barbecue, where we had a big bonfire with hotdogs!
Mum and Dad’s faves:
It forces you to slow down!
Fiscardo, with it’s lovely quayside restaurants and coffee shops
The gizmos (FYI that’s Dad’s one!)
The crew – they were truly amazing – upbeat, charming, helpful and fun to be with throughout (and the kids loved them!)
Meeting lots of new people with a shared love of sailing (and an appreciation of G&Ts)

The municipality of Emmen is warning residents to be careful of an aggressive buzzard when they go jogging. The bird is nesting along the Oranjekanaal and is attacking joggers that pass too close to its nest.
The municipality put up signs warning people to beware of an "aggressive bird of prey". Joggers are advised to rather take a different route.
According to Dagblad van het Noorden, three people have been attacked by the bird so far. One of the joggers sustained a head wound.

The "I Didn't List'
I’m a serial lister, which isn’t a problem, I love making lists and they keep me organized, the problem is I never seem to do the things on the lists.
My "to do" lists look more like "I didn't" lists. I really need to stop making lists and start doing the things on my lists.
So to help me with my obsession what do I do...
I join Day Zero...
a site that encourages you to make a list...
a big list.
Lets fix my serial listing by making another list. Surprisingly it seems to be working. The idea is to make a list of 101 things you want to do in 1001 days. I joined July 23rd and I’ve already completed 3% of my list. I know it doesn’t seem like much but for me it’s big...I’ve had lists for years that never get anything checked off. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I have a deadline to finish everything or the fact that my list is out there for the world to see, but whatever it is I’m finally getting things done...and I seem to be more motivated to get things done! Here’s my list, check it out...
my day zero list
One of the things on my list is to photograph and blog about everything I complete on my list...so be prepared for some random posts on random things. I’m hoping it will help me get in the habit of posting on a more regular basis, as well as helping me improve my photography skills...let me know how I’m doing!!

Did Christina Hendricks Plastic Surgery Has Made Her a Star?
Christina Hendricks is famous American actress that gained prominence for her role of Joan Harris in highly popular cable TV series Mad Men. She also played Saffron in FOX cult series Firefly. Hendricks has been nominated three times for Emmy, all three times for her excellent role on Mad Men. Esquire magazine named her the sexiest woman in the world in 2011, and men all over the world are crazy for her primarily because of her big bust. She is currently at the peak of her career. Her large breasts were always a speculation on topic of whether she had, or had not breast implants. But, her photos from 1999 in bikini surfaced to media, and it is obvious that she had some work done on her chest area.
It is impossible to think that her breasts have enlarged so much for no apparent reason. However, Christina Hendricks completely dismissed all those boob surgery rumors, and said that those are just tabloid lies and speculations. In recent interview with Daily Mail she talked about her breast enlargement speculations, and said that it is really bizarre that people are frequently asking her if her breast are fake or real…
She then stated that it is more than obvious that they are real, and anyone who has ever touched women breast should know. But how possibly could she explain that her breasts are so unproportional with her body, and how can breasts triple their size in just a few years.
Popular Hollywood plastic surgeon Dr. J. Walden agreed with the fact that her chest is very unnatural and said she has hard time believing that she didn’t made any changed on her body. Walden said that even though she is voluptuous and attractive with naturally larger breasts, but after seeing some of her older photos Walden is certain that she enhanced her boobs and stated that whatever doctor did plastic surgery on her did a really great job.
Dr. Walden also noted that the bigger lack of space between her boobs is another indicator that she underwent a breast augmentation.
No matter if she has, or hasn’t had a boob job, no one can deny that Christina Hendricks is absolute sex symbol amongst men population. It is almost certain that Christina has underwent a breast augmentation, but her plastic surgeon did a really great job, because they seem so real, and maybe they are, no one can say that for sure.

A New York Times bestseller! Written in a flowing narrative style, Kitty Gevese: A True Account of a Public Murder and Its Private Consequences presents the story of the horrific and infamous murder of Kitty Gevese, a young woman stalked and stabbed on the street where she lived in Queens, New York in 1964. The case sparked national outrage when the New York Times revealed that dozens of witnesses had seen or heard the attacks on Kitty Gevese and her struggle to reach safety but had failed to come to her aid--or even call police until after the killer had fled. This book cuts through misinformation and conjecture to present a definitive portrait of the crime, the aftermath, and the people. Based on six years of research, Catherine Pelonero's book presents the facts from the police reports, archival material, court documents, and first-hand interviews. Pelonero offers a personal look at Kitty Gevese, an ambitious young woman viciously struck down in the prime of her life; Winston Moseley, the killer who led a double life as a responsible family man by day and a deadly predator by night; the consequences for a community condemned; and others touched by the tragedy. Beyond just a true crime story, the book embodies much larger themes: the phemen of bystander inaction, the evolution of a serial killer, and the fears and injustices spawned by the stark prejudices of an era, many of which linger to this day.
Catherine Pelonero is an author and playwright whose work has been produced in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. She has won the Off-Off-Broadway Short Play Festival as well as the Yale University Screenwriting Competition for her work. Pelonero is a member of the Dramatists Guild and the Actors Studio Playwrights & Directors Unit, and she currently serves as a vice-chair of the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights (ALAP).

A U.S. government source says small arms from the U.S. are starting to head into Syria, funneled by the CIA, which is involved in covert training of rebel forces in Jordan. But a larger U.S. training effort has yet to be approved by the White House. The Pentagon is coming up with options that ramp up CIA training in Jordan and possibly Turkey. Other Arab countries have also expressed interest in helping out. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has hinted that the larger-scale training would be done by either Green Berets or conventional U.S. troops, and Sen. John McCain is pushing for this effort. But the effort may have been put on hold given the new diplomatic effort between the U.S. and Russia.
