In the mid-nineties, Birjees Dawar Ali returns to Pakistan to seek out a history left unfinished long ago, a history from which, nursing heartbreak and betrayal, she had once earlier fled, back to her home in partitioned India. Will she find the family that so generously gave her succour, the home that became her own, the people who gave her unquestioning love? Or, will all these certainties have fled with the march of history? A deeply moving narrative of love and loss, All Passion Spent focuses on the unresolved question of the 1947 Partition of India and the emergence of India and Pakistan as two separate countries. Zaheda Hina's richly layered narrative brought alive in this lyrical and poetic translation by Neelam Hussain, touches on the many unanswered questions that surround this painful history: the profound sense of grief and displacement, the lives sundered midstream, the lost friendships and the quest for new roots and lands under different skies.
Four musicians: a bright, young, aspiring student, two highly respected gurus married to each other, and a globe-trotting star, each deeply immersed in the tradition of Hindustani shastriya sangeet. Their lives intersect in the small mofussil town of Tamulbari on the banks of the Brahmaputra.
Against the backdrop of a magnificent musical heritage and the haunting and timeless ragas that sweep through the pages of this wonderfully evocative novel, Mitra Phukan presents the ambitious sitarist Kaushik Kashyap, already a 'name,' who tours the world with his beautiful Italian student, Nomita, the shy, small-town vocalist, whom Kaushik's parents have chosen for him, Nomita's Guruma, the beautiful, calm Sandhya Senapati, and her husband, the handsome Tridib Barua, who seem to be hiding deep, dark secrets, and Guruma's friendship with the well-known industrialist Deepak Rathod.
As the eventful monsoon months give way to autumn, the characters come to a deeper understanding of themselves even as their lives change dramatically and forever. By turns serious, deeply moving and utterly irreverent, Mitra Phukan's eye for detail, her immense knowledge of Hindustani classical music and her profound understanding of human nature come together in this remarkable novel.
At twenty-one, Deen is dismayed by the poverty around him and trapped in negativity. Alienated from family and society, heroin is his drug of choice.
Deen and his partner in crime, AJ, ride high on acid and amphetamines, philosophize in the university canteen, party in a politician’s posh pad and contemplate God at a roadside tea stall. From Maria, a chemically imbalanced diva, to a rickshaw-walla who reflects on the importance of positive energy, to a group of fakirs who sing about love, and a detective who has his own take on addiction, the characters in Shazia Omar’s debut novel crackle with life.
They represent the despair, hopes and aspirations of a generation struggling to survive in the harsh realities of life in modern Dhaka. Hard-hitting and intensely moving, this is an extraordinary novel, and one that is destined to launch Omar as a major contemporary voice from South Asia.
"Shazia Omar's energetic debut novel heralds a new voice in Bangaldeshi fiction. Located in the urban chaos of Dhaka city, Like a Diamond in the Sky shines a light on the crime, drug addiction, love, and loneliness at the heart of the modern metropolis."- TAHMIMA ANAM, author of A Golden Age

Susan Visvanathan's new work, Phosphorus and Stone is composed in the lucid but subversive style that characterises her feminist writings. In this novella she examines a fishing hamlet from the startling perspectives of the bourgeois enclaves set both in a village called Valli, Kerala, and in the suburbs of Chennai and Bangalore.
This is the story of a young woman and her refusal to be betrayed by death, obsession or love. It engages with the activist concern for the fisherpeople as well as the problematic of middle-class loyalties and the antagonisms of sect and gender. The most complex narrative, in this slim volume, is the apocryphal reading, from a feminist perspective, of Jesus's resurrection.
After the success of These Hills Called Home and Once Upon a Life, Temsula Ao returns to her beloved Nagaland to bring readers the beautifully crafted story of Aosenla, a woman who is coming to terms with herself. The novel opens on a typical summer afternoon that soon turns into another oppressive evening. Aosenla sits listening to her children playing nearby and is seized by a great lethargy. As she casts a watchful gaze over the house she has called home for so many years, Aosenla wonders how an inanimate structure like a house can exercise such power over a human being.
Looking down at a wedding invitation in her hands, Aosenla begins to recall her own wedding many years ago, initiating a deep and moving reflection on the life that others made for her and the life that she eventually created for herself.
"This volume...is unique because it manages to capture the socio-economic reality of the dispossessed masses without sounding didactic or condescending...Agnihotri seems to have done her research and knows what she is talking about...the first person narrative adds an autobiographical element and makes it that much more convincing." -- The Indian Express

This anthology is not only about what Gujarati women speak, but also what they don’t. In a state that registers increasing cases of violence against women, what kind of truths does its literature embody?
If malestream writing in Gujarat seldom mirrors its everyday truths, do the women risk unpleasantness? Kothari’s introduction builds upon such premises and leads the reader to a trajectory of women writers from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day, starting with the journal entries of a dancer at the end of the nineteenth century, to the journal entries of an academic woman at the end of the twentieth century. The wide range of stories and fictional excerpts show how Gujarati women inhabit their fictional worlds. The trajectory hints at an imperceptible shift from muffled voices to more candid ways of being, and yet it never loses completely the middle-class genteelness that characterizes literary discourses in Gujarat.
Rita Kothari teaches at St. Xavier’s College, Ahmedabad. Her publications on literary sociology of Gujarat and translation include Translating India, Modern Gujarati Poetry: A Selection, Coral Island: Poems by Niranjan Bhagat, Angaliyat (a Gujarati Dalit novel). Her forthcoming book is Stigmatised Identities: The Sindhis of Gujarat.
Kohima, 2007. A young man has been gunned down in cold blood - the latest casualty in the conflict that has scarred the landscape and brutalised the people of Nagaland. Easterine Kire's new novel traces the story of one man's life, from 1937 to the present day. The small incidents of Mose's childhood, his family, the routines and rituals of traditional village life paint an evocative picture of a peaceful way of life, now long-vanished. The coming of a radio into Mose's family?s house marks the beginning of the changes that would connect them to the wider world. They learn of partition, independence, a land called America. Growing up, Mose and his friends become involved in the Naga struggle for Independence, and they are caught in a maelstrom of violence - protest and repression, attacks and reprisals- that ends up ripping communities apart. The herb, bitter wormwood, was traditionally believed to keep bad spirits away. For the Nagas, facing violent struggle all around, it becomes a powerful talisman: "We sure could do with some of that old magic now." Bitter Wormwood gives a poignant insight into the human cost behind the political headlines from one of India's most beautiful and misunderstood regions.
"Easterine Kire is the keeper of her people's memory, their griot. She is a master of the unadorned language that moves because of the power of its evocative simplicity." -- Paul Pimomo
Author-artist Manjula Padmanabhan returns with ten stories: five new, five old, some dark, some funny, all edgy.
A vampire visits New Delhi, a space traveller returns to her ancestral home, a character from an ancient epic is transported into the future... To each story Padmanabhan brings an unexpected twist, a touch of satire, a whiff of cynicism, a delicious undercurrent of dark humour.
Drawing on her earlier, highly acclaimed anthology, Hot Death Cold Soup, and adding new stories to it, Padmanabhan presents a potent and sometimes disturbing collection that will leave readers asking for more.
"She revels in the macabre, pushes the envelope on the extreme... Her stories and plays work so masterfully on so many levels?as twist-in-the-tale page-turners, as on-the-edge adventures, as miniature theatres of the absurd that the reader's imagination plays almost as singular a part in them as the writer's." -- Sumana Mukherjee, The Hindu
"The best thing about these stories is their momentum, their narrative drive. You keep turning the pages and there is always a pay-off at the end.... Hot Death, Cold Soup not only stays afloat, it fairly zips along, it flies." -- Mukul Kesavan, Outlook
"Padmanabhan is aware of the fact that a story can grab a reader with the use of humour. But the hooks sink in when even the farfetched sounds plausible?That is her real strength ? to make the reader feel comfortable, and still keep him guessing." -- Arun Katiyar, India Today
“…the story transcends linguistic and geographical boundaries. It is a story of virtually every Indian home…The discussion -which makes up the Afterword also seeks to put the story in a historical and anthropological perspective which makes Shree’s Mai an academic study.” The Hindu
“…it is eminently readable … The Book Review
“seeks to assert the humanness of mother. Maternalism with a human face, perhaps is feminism for hard times.” The Tribune

A lone hunter, Vilie, sets out to find the river of his dreams: to wrest from its sleeping waters a stone that will give him untold power. It is a dangerous quest, for not only must he overcome unquiet spirits, vengeful sorceresses and daemons of the forest, there are men – armed with guns – on his trail. Easterine Kire’s novel transports the reader to the remote mountains of Nagaland, a place alive with natural wonder and supernatural enchantment. As Vilie treks through the forest on the trail of his dream, we are also swept along in this powerful narrative and walk alongside him in a world where the spirits are every bit as real as men and women, and where danger – or salvation – lies at every turn. Kire’s powerful narrative invites us into the lives and hearts of the people of Nagaland: the rituals and beliefs, their reverence for the land, their close-knit communities – the rhythms of a life lived in harmony with their natural surroundings. It is against this spellbinding backdrop that Kire tells the story of a solitary man driven by the mysterious pull of a dream, who must overcome weretigers and malignant widow-spirits in the search for his heart’s desire.
“...reminiscent of Marquez’s magic realism and Leslie Silko’s Native-American story-telling. At the end, though, this is a Naga story, unmistakably so, in its sense of place, time, and oral traditions.”

East is East and West is West, but the twain meet with a crash in Gurgaon - the epicentre of the outsourcing revolution in India, where thousands of the country's youth live with their bodyclocks set to US time zones and their cultural antennae pointing west. Into this maelstrom walk three very different young women:
Ayra, the golden girl: with a high profile job and a fancy title, everything seems to be going her way, until she finds herself at the helm of what could be the worst disaster of her career,
Shivaa, the perfect housewife turned desperate career woman who has to fight life, marriage and her irrational new boss to make sense of her existence, and
Sara, the shy college graduate turned spunky office-goer, who is willing to risk it all rather than be pushed into an early marriage by her anxious parents.
Debut author, Shruti Saxena weaves a very modern fairytale of professional jealousy and ruthless manipulation, heroic victories and egoistic cowardice, unfulfilled dreams and desires and raw, unadulterated ambition as seen though the eyes of these three extraordinary woman and the men who love them.
This simple, charming picture book introduces youngsters to the importance of taking care of their own bodies. From simple tips on hygiene to an empowering message of personal safety, Shruti Singhal’s visuals and text provide perfect reading material for talking about health, safety, emotional and physical well-being with very young children.
Count Jorge was a fabulously wealthy, devastatingly good-looking socialite, a leading figure in the South American city of San Felice. When he is found brutally stabbed to death, it soon becomes clear that ‘polite’ society in San Felice is anything but.
Is the murder linked to the Indian Ambassador, himself a victim of blackmail? Why is his wife, whom he suspects of having an affair with the Count, so apparently unaffected by his death? Who is the young man with the honey-coloured hair who takes the news, by contrast, so terribly badly? As for the Commissioner of Police, he is trying to decide which discovery is the more problematic: the corpse lying on the bed, or the Ambassador’s daughter’s riding boots lying underneath it.
There’s plenty of intrigue, backstabbing (literal as well as metaphorical), gossip and drama to enjoy in Chandralekha Mehta’s sparkling debut novel.

A brother and sister visit the unique crater-lake that their dead, estranged mother had written to them about in her letters. A middle-class employee's orderly life turns upside down when his employer holds back his cheque without an explanation. The employees of a forgotten outpost in a sun-baked town threaten mass suicide because they have no hope of survival.
Seventeen is a collection of short stories from among more than 100 of Anita Agnihotri's published short fiction. By turn intense, brittle, angry sad and torn apart in conflict, the stories bring out the different faces of human hardship and explore the India that is still largely unknown. Set in metros and villages, in small-town India and in international suburbia, the stories run the gamut of experiences both everyday and extraordinary. From deeply personal relationships against the backremove of turmoil to intensely social truths told through the unique life of individuals, each of these stories is a picture of human fragility. This is literary craftsmanship at its best.
Lifelines is an enthralling collection of short stories that will take you on some unforgettable journeys - journeys that span continents and decades, transgressing social boundaries and raising ethical dilemmas along the way.
The protagonists of these tales find themselves re-drawing their own destinies as they map their lifelines in unique, often unanticipated ways. The rapidly changing realities of the 21st-century require these individuals to navigate through uncharted waters, in a world increasingly shaped by the forces of globalisation, development and migration. One where the old ways are being challenged as never before, even in the traditionalist heartlands of South Asia.
Lifelines portrays the trials and triumphs of men, women and children who find themselves facing unexpected challenges - and discover that the decisions that they take, for better or worse, have consequences they never envisaged.
Srinagar, capital city of the famed 'paradise on earth,' Kashmir. Ailan Gali, a deep, dark narrow lane that lies at its heart, where houses stand on a finger's width of space and lean crookedly against each other, so deep, so narrow, so closely connected that even thieves do not dare enter.
Yet people live and love here, they cling on to their old ways, they share stories and food, joys and sorrows, sufficient unto themselves. But the outside world beckons, youngsters begin to leave, and slowly change makes its way into Ailan Gali only to find its hitherto hidden mirror-image -- the change that has insidiously been working its way into the lives of those who are the gali's permanent residents.
This funny, poignant, evocative story of a Kashmir as yet untouched by violence, but with its shadows looming at the edges, is a classic of Hindi literature, available in English translation for the first time.
When nine-year-old Ayman arrives in Hyderabad in the early 1950s to come and live at the Hussaini Alam House, she little realizes that the house, and its many inmates, will come to haunt her life and shape her destiny as she grows to become a woman. The house is ruled over by her grandfather, a dignified despot, whom everyone but Ayman, her mother and sister, call 'Sarkar' (master). Her mother, 'the eternal rebel,' is irreverent, progressive and a communist: a bomb waiting to explode. Ayman herself alternates between being the 'ugly duckling' of the house and its little princess. Huma Kidwai's sensitive and vivid portraits of the characters who teem around the House, offer a window into the customs and mores of a traditional Hyderabadi Muslim family. Narrated by the 40-year-old Ayman as she recalls the events of her past, The Hussaini Alam House is an elegy to a vanished way of life, a lovesong to the people she has loved and lost, and a psychologically nuanced portrait of the women of the household as they tread a fine line between society's expectations and their own yearning for freedom.
'Call Me Confused, Please' requests one of the stories in this insightful and engaging collection from women of South Asian origin living in North America. 'Made in the USA?' wonders another.
Through poems, short stories and scholarly pieces, writers who are in their twenties, thirties and forties share what it is to live and grow up in a country that is your home and yet alien to you. They touch upon issues of culture, belonging, romance, body, race, ethnicity and the notion of 'home'. Moving beyond the idea of ABCDs (America-Born Confused Desi) and the 'identity crisis', the writers grapple with the richness of their diverse inheritances to produce a more nuanced understanding of self.

We’re a little behind the news cycle on this, but you may have heard how a twelve-year-old in Pittsburgh was suspended for sharing some Jolt caffeinated gum with a classmate. The reason for the suspension is because stimulants aren’t allowed in the school and are cause for suspension. Of course, if you buy a soda from the school vending machines, that’s okay because the school no doubt gets some kickbacks from the deal. So this is probably the school protecting their stimulant monopoly.
Anyway, GumRunners, the folks behind Jolt Gum have decided to give the student, Courtney Rupert, a little pick-me-up that can’t get her suspended: a scholarship. Good on them and good on Courtney. Read about the whole thing here.
And Courtney: I was a victim of public schools. You eventually recover and can become somewhat educated despite the trauma. Hang in there.

Brad Hodge believes Australia’s rivals will be sweating about the prospect of meeting his side in the coming Twenty20 World Cup.
Hodge underlined Australia’s batting depth in the recent T20 clash with South Africa in Durban, where he was batting at number 6 but flayed two sixes in the final over to seal a five-wicket win.
Australia have posted four T20 wins on the trot and will make it five if they triumph in the match at Centurion that starts at 3am AEDT on Saturday.
It is handy momentum to take into the World Cup in Bangladesh next week and 39-year-old Hodge believes other teams would have taken note.
“I would think that everyone looking at this Australian side would definitely be a little bit concerned when they come up against us,” Hodge said.
“With the firepower with the ball and the hitting artillery ... we’ve got most bases covered.
“There’ll be a few teams worrying about us, instead of us worrying about others.
“But conditions will determine how people go, I don’t think you can sum up who’s going to be a threat until you’re over there.”
Proteas coach Russell Domingo identified Australia as being one of many genuine contenders at the tournament.
“It’s probably going to be one of the more open competitions,” Domingo said.
“I think there’s seven or eight teams that have a real chance of winning it. All the top Test-playing nations are very much in the mix.
“It’s hard to pick out one or two particular sides, they’re all very competitive and on their day can turn it on.”
South Africa captain Faf du Plessis described Australia as a “really dangerous side”.
David Miller, who ran out George Bailey in the match at Durban, suggested his side’s T20 battles with Australia would be an ideal tune-up for Bangladesh.
“Definitely. They’re on a high as a team,” hard-hitting batsman Miller said.
“For us to have this before the World Cup, we couldn’t ask for better competition.”

Controlling Colorado potato beetle: 2010 outlook
Colorado potato beetle pressure was relatively low in Canada in 2009 compared with some years, but growers must stay aware to both control populations in their fields and effectively manage developing resistance to Group 4 insecticides.
By Katerina Maevska
Dr. Jeff Tolman, an integrated pest management research scientist based at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Southern Crop Protection and Food Research Centre in London, Ontario, says the relatively light CPB season was due to a cool, wet spring last year. “However,” he says, “just because 2009 was a low pressure year for the pest doesn’t mean 2010 will be.”
What is more, Tolman observes that although CPB resistance to Group 4 insecticides was no worse in 2009 than in 2008, “it’s not ever going to go away.”
Resistance is best managed with a multi-pronged approach. “Rotate your potato fields far away, a kilometre away if possible,” says Dr. Galen Dively, an IPM consultant and professor emeritus at the University of Maryland. “If the temperatures are low early in the season, CBP will not be able to fly and will have to walk, so putting your new potato fields even a half a kilometre away with a barrier such as a field of winter wheat in between can make a huge difference.”
Non-host crop barriers work better than some other types of barriers because beetles climb the stalks, find no suitable food, and are often too exhausted to push on.
In addition, Dively advises that if they are not already doing it, growers should begin co-ordinating rotational layout of fields with their neighbours (community or area-wide rotation).
Both diligent scouting and following spray thresholds are critical in managing Group 4 resistance, as is the rotational use of insecticides with different modes of action. “A Group 28 insecticide has a completely different mode of action than Group 4 (neonicotinoids), and is a very valuable resistance-management tool,” says Tolman. “Due to this mode of action, it does not show cross resistance to existing products.”
Group 28 insecticides, the anthranilic diamides, belong to an entirely new class of chemicals that includes DuPont Coragen.
Philippe Parent, who conducts research at Les Patates Dolbec Inc. in St-Ubalde near Quebec City, agrees. “Coragen is very important to the grower in preventing Group 4 resistance,” he says. “We also like it because it lasts a long time, and insects stop feeding rapidly.”
Use of a Group 28 insecticide for resistance management
There are a number of factors growers should keep in mind in order to both fully understand what Coragen offers and to maximize performance. Scouting for this pest should begin on at least 30 plants per field as soon as plants start emerging. Early applications provide optimal control.
Although Coragen kills both larvae and adults, applications made at early larval stages provide optimal control. “Young larvae are the life stage most susceptible to insecticides,” says Jean Coulombe, an independent researcher based in Royal Ile d’Orléans, Quebec. “Adults are much hardier than larvae, so they’re harder to control. They’re also much more mobile on the leaf.”
However, spraying any insecticide during the CPB larval stage can coincide with or just precede a period of rapid plant growth. “It’s the same outcome for any non-systemic foliar insecticide,” says Tolman. “Group 28 products move quickly into the plant and have long persistence, lasting three to four weeks on the leaf, but if you’ve got very vigorous growth occurring, that new growth will not be protected. Another application may be necessary.” That is why, adds Tolman, “if you don’t have to spray when the plants are growing rapidly, you shouldn’t.”
“Residual control is maximized during periods of slow-to-moderate plant growth,” says DuPont representative Blair Fraser. “Only one application is often all that’s needed to control resistant or non-resistant CPB under these growth conditions.”
Good coverage at the highest recommended rate provides optimal control. Not all CPB are equally susceptible, a normal occurrence with insecticides. “With Group 28 insecticides you may have to use a high rate,” says Tolman. He also says, however, that “growers may not have to do the whole field. While scouting, you should be on the lookout for hot spots.”

Turbo XB (Automatic)
I see a lot of people saying you can't or maybe shouldn't put a turbo on a first Gen XB auto. I've turboed a car or two over the years to included a 700 rwhp 88 Mustang GT and knew this to be false. You can turbo anything, it's just a matter of how well it works for your intended purpose. I suspected their would be some drawbacks to such a set up but very doable. Additionally, your objective makes a difference on whether you should or shouldn't and how satisfied you'll be with the end results. My objective was to make the car "less slow" not fast. I picked up a new HKS kit on this site from a guy a few years ago. Got it for almost half price so it was worth experimenting with. Overall I am satisfied with the results, it is what I expected. The main drawback is the shift pattern for the auto. It want's to get to the highest possible gear as soon as possible for fuel economy. The turbo needs to be around 3K RPM to spool. That said, driving on normal auto mode you have to put your foot in it and get it to kick down a gear to build boost...not ideal because it can be a bit snappy on the transmission. This is easily mitigated by turning off overdrive. When you feel the need for speed simply turn off overdrive. The turbo stays spooled and there is not two gear step down like in overdrive mode to make you shift snappy.
I had the setup dynoed. If I remember correctly it was 89ish whp before the turbo and around 118 whp after. I think I have the sheet somewhere. This kit only puts out 3-5 PSI. Most of the time per my gauge it's spitting out around 4 lbs of boost. This accomplished my goal which was to make the car acceptable in traffic and on the highway. It made it so I can get in and out of traffic without worrying about getting run over or make a pass under normal condition.
Concerns and what not to do: I would not turn up the boost on stock components because from the feel and sound of things under boost, you'll probably break something. The shifts snap sometimes under full boost in overdrive. It feels like it could break the transmission if you are not careful. I also wonder how much extra power the axles can handle. I think it could probably handle 6-7 psi without breaking to much. More than that and I think you are rolling the dice. I also think it depends on how you drive it. I don't race and I'm not always pulling hard off the line for no good reason other than to say "yahoo!". I've had this setup for two years with no issues and it is doing exactly what I wanted it to do which is to give it "acceptable", power, i.e., make it less slow...give it acceptable HP for around town and highway driving. I have pictures of my setup but couldn't figure out how to get them loaded on here. Hope this is helpful for anyone considering a turbo on an auto.

In our news wrap Friday, a gunman killed two and wounded at least three others at a popular bar in Tel Aviv. A manhunt was launched for the unidentified shooter. Also, Bavaria's top security official says there's no longer any concrete indications of a specific terror threat, after police in Munich evacuated train stations on concerns that Islamic State extremists planned to attack.
Read the Full Transcript
This New Year's Day was marred by violence in Israel after a gunman opened fire on a popular bar in Tel Aviv, killing two people before fleeing the scene. At least three others were wounded. The city's mayor said it appeared to be — quote — "a terrorist attack motivated by nationalism." A manhunt is under way for the shooter, who has yet to be officially identified.
With extremist violence on the rise in the Middle East, the United Nations reported the number of deaths in Iraq last month rose to 980 people. That is up from 888 in November. More than half of those killed were civilians.
In Germany, Bavaria's top security official says there's no longer any concrete indications of a specific terror threat. Police in Munich evacuated two train stations on New Year's Eve, after word that Islamic State extremists planned to attack them. Officials said the overall terror threat in Europe remains high, and security was still tight today, with some 100 extra officers deployed.
Despite security threats, people around the world welcomed the start of a new year today with fireworks, celebrations, and well-wishes.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis marked the Catholic Church's World Day of Peace by urging people to respect the fundamental rights of all.
POPE FRANCIS (through interpreter):
Sometimes, we ask ourselves how it is possible that human injustice persists unabated, and that the arrogance of the powerful continues to demean the weak, relegating them to the most squalid outskirts of our world. All of us are called to immerse ourselves in this ocean, to let ourselves be reborn, to overcome this indifference which blocks solidarity, and to leave behind the false neutrality which prevents sharing.
Meanwhile, in his annual New Year's speech, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called for reunification talks with South Korea, but he blamed Seoul for mistrust between the two nations.
And in the U.S., the 127th Rose Parade rolled down the streets of Pasadena, California. Security was tightened for the more than 700,000 spectators who turned out for the event, but authorities said there were no known threats.
Officials in Dubai are investigating what caused a massive New Year's Eve fire at a high-rise luxury hotel. It became engulfed in flames two hours before midnight, as crowds of revelers gathered nearby. Smoke continued to billow out of the 63-story building today, as firefighters worked to cool it down. There were no fatalities, but 14 people were treated for minor injuries.
The world's most polluted city slashed the number of vehicles allowed on its streets today. Authorities in New Delhi, India, kicked off a two-week test that alternates the days private cars may be driven based on whether their license plates end in an odd or even number. Authorities hope the initiative will help combat record levels of air pollution in the capital.
Back in this country, weary Missouri residents found some relief today from the record-setting floods that have swept across much of the state. Major interstates in the Saint Louis area reopened to traffic as high waters retreated. But, for other communities downstream, the worst is yet to come.
Floodwaters began to recede near many of the hardest-hit Saint Louis suburbs, where the surging Meramec River damaged hundreds of homes. Meanwhile, crews worked through the night and into the morning, desperately trying to restore services in Missouri. They reopened two major transportation arteries, Interstates 55 and 44, which had been flooded for days. But recovery efforts for those forced to flee have only just begun.
Residents in the Saint Louis suburb of Valley Park, where the Meramec crested at a record 44 feet, returned for the first time today to survey the damage. Meanwhile, farther downstream, the threat of additional flooding remained high.
Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner ordered the National Guard to active duty and told residents to brace for more damage.
GOV. BRUCE RAUNER, Illinois:
I'm mostly concerned about Alexander County at the moment south here. It's going to be 50 feet down there; it's cresting right now. And we were just told an hour ago that it's breached the levee. The levee is going to wash away. And we're — we have been asking everybody in Alexander County to evacuate.
And officials warn the high waters could travel south to Arkansas and Tennessee.
Louisiana has also declared a state of emergency in anticipation of the flooding that is to come. So far, the floodwaters have been blamed for at least 22 deaths.
President Obama is exploring unilateral steps he can take to address gun violence. In his first weekly radio address of 2016, he said his staff has been looking into potential executive actions. Mr. Obama will meet Monday with Attorney General Loretta Lynch to explore options to keep guns out of the hands of — quote — "an irresponsible, dangerous few."
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:
I get too many letters from parents, and teachers, and kids to sit around and do nothing. The gun lobby is loud and well-organized in its defense of effortlessly available guns for anyone. The rest of us are going to have to be just as passionate and well-organized in our defense of our kids.
The president will reportedly take action to set a — quote — "reasonable threshold" for when sellers need to seek a background check.
The new year also ushered in a host of new laws; 14 states and several cities raised the minimum wage. California and Massachusetts increased it to $10 an hour, while Seattle's minimum hourly wage rose to $13. New legislation in Texas has made it easier to openly carry guns. And Hawaii became the first state in the nation to raise the legal smoking age from 18 to 21.
We also mark the passing of two talented entertainers. Natalie Cole, the daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, died overnight in Los Angeles following a series of health problems. The R&B singer first made a name for herself with the 1975 breakout hit "This Will Be," and went on to win nine Grammy Awards. In 2010, Cole performed the gospel song "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" at the White House.
Natalie Cole was 65 years old.
Actor Wayne Rogers also died Thursday in Los Angeles, after he developed pneumonia. Rogers was best known as Army doctor "Trapper" John McIntyre on the "MASH" television series in the 1970s. He played the role for the first three of the show's 11 seasons. Wayne Rogers was 82 years old.

Locations for the six-game pre-Olympic series between Canada and the U.S. national women’s teams have been finalized. Hockey Canada announced the final game of the cross-border series, and the last time the two teams will clash before the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics will be in Edmonton on Dec. 17.
There’s some hesitancy to read too much into the standings early on in the OHL season, and understandably so. It’s a long season and there’s a lot of good teams that don’t truly get up to speed until sometime in November, maybe even later.
Last June, the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) had three players drafted into the NHL after a three-year absence having no players selected. It was a notice to the scouting world what kind of talent exists in the Alberta Junior ranks.
For now, Hockey Canada and the North York Hockey League (NYHL) have reached a compromise when it comes to ushering in the cross-ice/half-ice mandate.
Combining sport and school for hockey players has been a growing trend, and that’s as apparent as ever in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL).
The Trenton Golden Hawks will once again host a prestigious event. A year ago the Golden Hawks laid out the welcome mats for one of the OJHL’s Winter Showcases as well as the Dudley Hewitt Cup, a regional qualifier for the national RBC Cup Junior A championship.
Year after year, the Great White North continually set the bar for goaltending, but over the past decade and a half, other nations have seemingly surpassed Canada in training, prospects and development.
Considered one of the fastest growing sports in the world, women’s ice hockey is hoping to keep expanding their reach around the globe with the World Girls Ice Hockey Weekend.
It’s amazing what man has learned from studying animal behaviour. The Wright brothers spent a great deal of time observing birds in flight. They noticed that the creatures soared into the wind and that the air flowing over the curved surface of their wings created lift.
One team plans to defend their title and the other desperately wants to get back on top of the Olympic podium. The only thing separating them is the 49th parallel.
Joe Martin, who already doubles as the head coach and general manager of the Merritt Centennials, will have some additional duties this season.
Nico Hischier likes to do things in hockey that nobody else has been capable of achieving. First and foremost, the Halifax Mooseheads centre was selected No. 1 overall by the New Jersey Devils at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft becoming the first player from Switzerland to earn that lofty distinction.

SUMNER, Wash. KIRO NEWS -- Hazardous materials crews and police were at the scene of an apparent methamphetamine lab at an auto repair business in Sumner.
At about 3:30 a.m. on Friday, a police officer smelled ammonia and saw tubing and other materials that indicated methamphetamine was being made at an automotive repair shop in the 155th block of Southeast Main Street, Sumner police said.
"The employee didn't have a good explanation for being there at that time of hour, acted kind of nervous and anxious," said Sumner Deputy Police Chief Brad Moericke.
Police contacted the owner of JFS Automotive, who said he was unaware of the activity. Further investigation by detectives revealed that an employee of the business was responsible for the lab and had invited two other people to the business. All three were arrested in connection with the drug lab.
The repair shop is closed and the business cordoned off with crime scene tape as investigators process the scene. Police in protective suits pulled out jars of chemicals, bags of ammonium sulfate, an electric frying pan Friday, all materials used to make methamphetamines.
Sumner Police Department spokesman Carmen Palmer said the owners of the business are cooperating with law enforcement. Police said the owner had no idea what was going on after hours and that he had no clue that an employee had turned a reputable repair shop into an illegal drug making lab.
Several customers came to the shop, hoping to pick up their cars, but they were told they would have to wait until the police investigation was over.

Medical marijuana moratorium extended 60 days as Ann Arbor officials work out details of ordinance
Ryan J. Stanton | AnnArbor.com
An ongoing moratorium prohibiting new medical marijuana dispensaries from opening in Ann Arbor will last a little longer while city officials work out legal issues.
The Ann Arbor City Council voted unanimously Monday night on a resolution to extend the moratorium they enacted back in early August for 60 more days, or until Jan. 31.
The temporary freeze was set to expire Dec. 3, but the city attorney's office is asking for more time to come up with a licensing ordinance for marijuana businesses, which will complement zoning ordinance revisions governing where dispensaries can be located.
The City Council was expected to act Monday night to implement the new zoning regulations, which have been in the works for months. But council members decided to postpone any action at the urging of City Attorney Stephen Postema.
Unlike the zoning changes, the licensing aspect hasn't been discussed in public, and Postema is advising the council it would be best to roll out both pieces at the same time.
The attorney's office plans to bring the licensing plan to the City Council at its Dec. 6 meeting. From there, it would go on to final approval on Dec. 20, the same night the zoning regulations are now expected to come back.
"It's really a licensing plan," Postema said. "We're not completed on that, but we're looking at a number of different regulations that I would propose to the council. It's actually the council's decision, but it would really include things related to who can own a dispensary, what type of dispensary, what type of security regulations, what type of business arrangements and that type of thing — putting regulations in place that have been successful elsewhere."
City officials have been working since August to come up with first-of-their-kind regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries that are now sprouting in Ann Arbor. They have estimated about eight or nine operations opened before the moratorium hit.
While marijuana remains illegal on a federal level, the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Michigan in 2008 has presented a unique situation for cities like Ann Arbor.
"It's unprecedented, in part, because you have a situation where the state of the law is uncertain at the state and federal level, and therefore it forces the municipalities to do what is best," Postema said. "The federal government and the state government may not have done the best job and may have put the municipalities in difficult situations."
In recent months, AnnArbor.com has fielded several phone calls from marijuana growers throughout Michigan and as far as Colorado who say they're interested in opening medical marijuana operations in Ann Arbor as soon as the moratorium is lifted.
"I've never dealt with licensing, especially licensing on this level, so I'll be showing my ignorance," Council Member Sabra Briere, D-1st Ward, said Monday night, wondering whether the City Council should hold a special working session on the issue.
"You say that you're not familiar with it — that's because this is an unprecedented issue," Postema responded. "And therefore, I think there are issues certainly that deal with regulation that would go as broad or as narrow as you, as the council, see fit. Because when you look around the United States, there are all sorts of possible schemes."
Public sentiment in favor of medical marijuana is strong in Ann Arbor, where voters overwhelmingly have supported efforts to make it available to those who say they need it.
In 2004, a proposal to amend the Ann Arbor City Charter to allow the growth and use of marijuana for medicinal purposes when authorized by a physician passed locally with 75 percent of the vote. In 2008, Ann Arbor voters joined a majority of Michigan voters in approving a referendum that legalized medical marijuana statewide.
Postema appears hesitant to use the word "legalized," though.
"The state can't legalize it under federal law," he said. "The best they can do is provide a decriminalization and a defense (to prosecution) under state law. But even despite that, the council is certainly ready and will do something that's wise for the citizens of Ann Arbor."
Though the new moratorium end date is Jan. 31, it actually will expire upon the effective date of the regulations being approved by the council, city officials said.

Unions wonder why Sanoma declines to negotiate EWC
Unions wonder why Sanoma declines to negotiate and agree on an EWC
Helsinki (28.11.2008 - Juhani Artto) Finnish unions that represent employees working for the Finnish-based media company, Sanoma (formerly SanomaWSOY) are perplexed by the company's negative attitude towards signing up to a European Works Council (EWC). Sanoma is the largest media company in Finland and one of the biggest magazine publishers in Europe.
It operates in 20 countries in Europe and has over 20 000 employees, the majority of whom work outside Finland. Clearly, then, Sanoma is one of about 1 500 companies that should - if the EWC directive were to be respected and implemented properly – agree, in tandem with its personnel, on the setting up of an EWC. The Finnish unions have appealed to the company on numerous occasions to open talks with a view to establishing a works council but with no success.
Recently the Media Union, the Union of Salaried Employees (TU), the Service Union United (PAM) and the Union of Journalists in Finland issued a statement on Sanoma's reluctance to negotiate and agree on an EWC.
In the statement, Pertti Raitoharju, the President of the Media Union, says that international trade union federations are prepared to take the matter up with relevant EU bodies if Sanoma does not adopt a more positive approach to cooperating on the EWC question.
Antti Rinne, the President of the TU, makes the obvious point that most consumers of Sanoma's products are wage and salary earners who are interested in knowing how the company treats and values its personnel.
Over 800 companies-with management and personnel cooperation-have agreed on how to implement the EWC directive. The four Finnish unions wish to point out that the experiences of EWCs in the forest industry-for example- have been very positive. The goal of EWCs is to promote dialogue and interaction between corporate management and employees.

Abstract Partial motor status epilepticus (PMSE) is characterized by motor seizures that "are so frequently repeated or so prolonged as to create a fixed and lasting condition."1 These epilepsies are associated with different types of diseases, including infectious, vascular, neoplastic, demyelinating, and traumatic ones as well as those of metabolic origin.2 We report a case of simple PMSE characterized by alternating or bilateral tonic contraction preceded by brief hallucinatory and forced-thinking episodes, which revealed Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). Although this lymphoproliferative disorder frequently involves the nervous system,3,4 this is apparently the first report of an association with PMSE and of complete recovery after chemotherapy. Moreover, the presence of antiglycolipid antibodies that have been reported to be potentially epileptogenic in rats5 and humans6 suggested that an autoimmune mechanism was responsible for status epilepticus occurrence.

Erol Belli was small enough to sit on Renee Gilliard’s lap. His feet couldn’t touch the floor.
For years, they’d spent Christmas together. Their families vacationed in the Florida Keys and the Everglades. One year, she remembers, Belli stayed up until 1 a.m. to talk on Christmas Eve.
But Gilliard never imagined that the Tampa boy who loved soccer and fishing would grow up to be a doctor, and save her life.
Gilliard, 61, survived breast cancer, only to be plagued with cardiac problems later on. Her doctors think chemotherapy drugs weakened her heart over time. A year-and-a-half ago, she was still on her feet 10 hours a day, working six days a week, in the hair salon she owns in Brandon with her husband.
But her health was failing.
“I had been sick a long time,” Gilliard said. “I never knew how bad it was.”
Then earlier this year, Dr. Benjamin Mackie, a heart failure specialist and the medical director of Tampa General Hospital’s cardiac transplant program, gave Gilliard just months to live. When she came in for her initial appointments, Mackie said she wasn’t well enough for a transplant surgery yet. So he started her on a course of drugs. Still, her name was added to the national waiting list for a donor heart.
“I had IV meds given to me at home for months,” Gilliard said.
On April 14, she got the call. A donor heart was available and it was a match. In just a few hours, she’d be in surgery.
The cardiothoracic and transplant surgeon on call that night was Dr. Erol Belli. He’d returned to his hometown of Tampa just 18 months before, after training at the University of Florida and the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville for years.
“It’s very unusual for a doctor to perform surgery on a family member or someone they know,” Mackie said. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen it happen.”

Belli remembers getting the phone call for the donor heart and looking up the patient information.
“Wait, I know her," he said.
Gilliard was relieved to know it was Belli who would perform her surgery.
“He treated me like a patient and I treated him like a doctor,” she said. “He saved my life.”
Belli remembered feeling nervous about the surgery with so much at stake.
“Nine times out of 10 it goes well, but the pressure is on when you know the patient,” he said.
The surgery was successful and Gilliard is progressing in her first year of recovery. She is expected to live a normal life for many years.
After her surgery, Tampa General gave Gilliard a red heart-shaped pillow with the number 1390 etched onto it. She was the 1,390th heart transplant recipient at the hospital. Tampa General performed the first successful heart transplant in Florida in 1985, and today is one of the busiest transplant programs in the nation.
The hospital performed its 10,000th organ transplant last year, and did more than 550 procedures this year alone — the most in its history.
But still, there’s a nationwide shortage of organ donors. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 20 patients die a day from a lack of donor organs.
For the first time in many years, Gilliard said she can hear her heartbeat again.
“I couldn’t with my original heart,” she said. “I think that means I’ve been sick along time.”
It’s not uncommon for transplant patients to realize just how their bodies coped with their failing health in retrospect.
At a routine biopsy appointment the week before Christmas, Gilliard and her husband, Jimmy, toted around the red heart pillow in a bag inside the clinic at Tampa General. It was a rare appointment where she’d get to see both of her doctors at once — Belli and Mackie. She wanted them to sign her pillow.
“Not many people can say they got to hold your old heart and your new one,” Belli said.
Gilliard smiled. “Well, I got to hold the whole you.”
Belli grew up in Brandon and was a graduate of Tampa’s Jesuit High School. He attended medical school at the University of South Florida before heading to UF and the Mayo Clinic for specialty training in cardiothoracic surgery.
It was Belli’s uncle, Wayne Clark, who connected the Gilliards to his family. Clark and Jimmy Gilliard grew up together in Wauchula. Christmas dinner was hosted by the Clarks every year, where both Belli and the Gilliards attended. They quickly became an extended, close-knit family.
“My father was a cardiologist in Tampa for a long time. So he worked long hours. We grew up at my uncle’s,” Belli said. “I grew up going on fishing trips with the Gilliards. They were at my wedding. Now they know my own kids.”
Belli and Gilliard will be together again in just a few days for Christmas at the Clarks in Brandon.
“Is this enough to count as my Christmas gift for the next couple of years?” Belli asked Gilliard.
Yes, she nodded, holding her red heart pillow.

"Bambi" + Tour Dates
words by ava butera
After a couple of silent months from Hippo Campus, the band dropped “Bambi”, an infectious tune unlike anything we’ve seen from the band previously. Since I pretty much played Landmark to death last year, I haven’t been spinning any Hippo Campus music in a while. Which resulted in a lack of upkeep with the band’s doings. Though, this is mainly due to the fact that I tend to have a short attention span and was paying attention to other bands pumping out new material.
As I saw my social media feeds flooding with praise of “Bambi,” I was still rather hesitant about listening to it. I loved their EPs and Landmark, but was not particularly looking for music similar to that, because all projects are seen as separate eras each possessing different qualities and aesthetics.
After much consideration, I deciding to simply check out the band’s new song and to my surprise was actually blown away with their creativity and ability to create a completely diversified sound — truly something I didn't see coming. “Bambi” posses an R&B vibe and employed a drum machine, which features unique and dancey sounds. Again, very unlike Hippo Campus. Yet, I feel like this particular sound encapsulates the band best.
I’m very eager to see what the band does on their second album, Bambi, that’s set to come out September 28th.


Communications and Market Research in the New Russia
Seventeen years after Mikhail Gorbachev introduced Perestroika (restructuring) and 13 years after Boris Yeltsin privatized businesses, liberated the press, and opened markets, democracy and a market economy are still evolving. Since then, some Russian businesses have learned to value marketing and to use marketing communications to increase company capitalization and brand credibility, said Genia Freidenhov, a marketing communications consultant I met in Moscow.
Initially, businesses, customers, and the media could not grasp the importance of marketing and marketing communications. No one knew how to create or execute a marketing communications strategy. In those days multinationals converted profits to vodka since they could not take rubles out of the Former Soviet Union.
Censorship was widespread. Except for posters in the 1920's, advertising hardly existed. "There was nothing to advertise!" Television ads were really pictures with captions. After privatization, shoppers queued up for the few pricey goods available. By 1992 a few advertising and marketing communications agencies had offices in Russia. Their clients were YUKOS Oil Company and other large companies, which initially promoted themselves through advertising. Now, many companies use marketing communications to increase market share, observes Freidenhov.
After graduating in 1996 from a private Russian university where he majored in business and specialized in mass communications, Freidenhov worked for the Public Relations and Promotions Group (PRPG), which is now part of Weber Shandwick of New York. Among PRPG's clients were the first foreign companies to establish a beachhead in Russia. These clients introduced media relations, direct marketing, telemarketing, and TV advertising to Russians. Freidenhov then worked for YUKOS.
While, Intel, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's have succeeded, conducting business in Russia remains challenging. Freidenhov advises companies that are interested in opportunities in Russia to:
About 100,000 Americans are now doing business in Russia, and many are developing marketing programs that resemble those in the U.S.

Results from an experimental investigation aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of steel fiber reinforcement for increasing punching shear strength and ductility in slabs subjected to monotonically increased concentrated load are presented. Ten slab-column connections were tested to failure. The main test parameters evaluated were: 1) fiber geometry (hooked or twisted), 2) fiber strength (1100, 1800, or 2300 MPa [160, 260, or 334 ksi]), 3) fiber volume fraction (1% or 1.5%), and 4) slab tension reinforcement ratio (0.56% or 0.83% in each principal direction). Out of the fiber-reinforced concretes (or mortar) evaluated, those reinforced with a 1.5% volume fraction of either regular strength (1100 MPa [160 ksi]) or high-strength (2300 MPa [334 ksi]) hooked steel fibers led to the best performance in terms of punching shear strength and deformation capacity. These two fiber-reinforced concretes (FRCs) were therefore selected for further evaluation in connections subjected to lateral displacement reversals, as described in the companion paper.

Manchester United reportedly look set to be given a huge decision to make on the future of goalkeeper David de Gea as Paris Saint-Germain line up a huge transfer offer.
According to the Daily Star, the Ligue 1 giants look ready to put together a £90million package for the Spain international, who could double his wages to around £450,000 a week if he moves to the French capital.
De Gea would be an ideal long-term replacement for veteran ‘keeper Gianluigi Buffon at the Parc des Princes, even if his current form has not been the best.
PSG will surely still view the 28-year-old as one of the best in the world in his position, following a long and successful career at Old Trafford.
Recently, however, De Gea has started to show worrying signs of decline, so Man Utd may well be tempted to cash in if good enough offers come in for him this summer.
ESPN have already linked the Red Devils with a big-money move for Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak as a potential De Gea replacement, and on current form the Slovenia international could be a major upgrade.
De Gea’s current MUFC contract is also due to expire at the end of next season, so now might make sense as an ideal time to say goodbye.
