The transcribed pre-mRNA contains untranslated regions at both ends which contain a ribosome binding site, terminator and start and stop codons. In addition, most eukaryotic open reading frames contain untranslated introns which are removed before the exons are translated. The sequences at the ends of the introns, dictate the splice sites to generate the final mature mRNA which encodes the protein or RNA product.

Beginning as a self-help program in the mid-1960s, the Cotton Research and Promotion Program (CRPP) was organized by U.S. cotton producers in response to cotton's steady decline in market share. At that time, producers voted to set up a per-bale assessment system to fund the program, with built-in safeguards to protect their investments. With the passage of the Cotton Research and Promotion Act of 1966, the program joined forces and began battling synthetic competitors and re-establishing markets for cotton. Today, the success of this program has made cotton the best-selling fiber in the U.S. and one of the best-selling fibers in the world.[citation needed]

[DOC] [TLE] Matilda (character) - Roald Dahl Wiki - WikiaMatilda (character) | Roald Dahl Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [PAR] Edit [PAR] Matilda has black hair. [PAR] Matilda's school is Crunchem Hall Primary which is run by a fearsome middle-aged woman named Miss Trunchbull. The school is large and black, with about 250 students. Because of Miss Trunchbull, it has a physically dark, dingy, depressing atmosphere. [PAR] Matilda makes friends with many other students, particularly a girl called Lavender. While at school, Miss Trunchbull terrorizes and abuses the children, from throwing a child out the window for eating sweets in class to locking children in a cupboard with nails and glass in the walls and door, known as the " Chokey ", for many of the unfair rules. She even forces one student, Bruce Bogtrotter, to eat an entire chocolate cake by himself as "punishment" for allegedly sneaking a slice from the school kitchen. [PAR] Matilda lives with Miss Honey, a teacher at the school after her parents flee the country to escape the police, as her father had sold stolen car parts. A man named Mr. Trilby is made headmaster of Crunchem Hall after Miss Trunchbull's departure at the conclusion of the novel. In the film, Miss Honey is made headmistress after Miss Trunchbull [PAR] Early skills [PAR] One and a half years old - Linguistic skill and vocabulary on par with that of an adult's (called a "noisy chatterbox" by her parents and told sharply that little girls should be "seen and not heard"). [PAR] Three years old - As evidence of extreme intelligence, Matilda demonstrates amateur reading skills. [PAR] Four years old - As proof of extreme intelligence, Matilda soon develops reading skills on par with that of an adult's book. [PAR] Powers and abilities [PAR] Edit [PAR] Besides being very smart for her age, Matilda has extraordinary powers. Although never mentioned in the book or movie, the name of the ability Matilda has is called telekinesis, and seems to peak whenever something angers Matilda. [PAR] It's first discovered when the glass from which Miss Trunchbull drinks tips over and a newt (which Lavender caught in her garden and placed in the water pitcher) jumps onto Miss Trunchbull's shirt. The Trunchbull, who tends to speculate with no backup evidence, accuses Matilda of running out and tipping the glass over when she wasn't moving. When Matilda says that she didn't do it, a verbal argument between Matilda and Miss Trunchbull ensues, which lasts for about a minute. Miss Trunchbull ends the argument by telling Matilda to sit down and be quiet. [PAR] At home, Matilda practices using her powers with a cigar, learning fine control of her abilities. The last time that Matilda uses her powers is when she writes quite cheekily on the chalkboard while posing as the ghost of Miss Honey's father, ending Miss Trunchbull's reign over the school. [PAR] In the film, she ends up also using her powers before she knew she had them, such as causing the television to explode when her father was forcing her to watch it, and making some food that was falling land perfectly on her plate. [PAR] While the use of her powers in the novel was limited to an object that she was directly concentrating on, she uses the powers when she needs them in order to help someone or teach them a lesson. In the film, it isn't mentioned if her powers have limitations. (Although her powers are somewhat similiar to Magneto from X-Men, he is using magnetic fields or manipulating them to move objects, while it's unknown how Matilda does it.) However, in the end of the movie, she was able to move a book and start a car without any problems. It is possible that if she had plenty of practice, she could be able to move larger objects. [PAR] In the musical, Matilda possesses a psychic connection with Miss Honey, having visions of Miss Honey's life with herself in Miss Honey's shoes. Matilda also possesses psychometry (the ability to gain memories by touching objects). [PAR] Personality [PAR] Edit [PAR] Matilda is shown to be a kind and caring girl

Editor's note: CNN affiliates report on where job seekers are finding work across the country and how those looking for employment are coping with the situation.
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, shown in April, once worked in a city jobs program as a youth.
(CNN) -- Some of the stimulus money from the U.S. government is going to programs that help young adults find jobs.
In Baltimore, Maryland, the city wants to put more than 7,000 to work, mostly in local government jobs. It will use more than $6 million from the federal government and sponsorship money, according to WBAL-TV in Baltimore.
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon recalled her days as a young worker.
"I worked at a camp, and then in high school, I was able to continue to work in the program," she said. Read the full report on WBAL
In Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Kahtoya Wesley, 20, has had difficulty finding a job, but she has a better chance of finding work now because she has joined the Summer Youth Employment Program, according to WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach.
So far 200 people have landed jobs through the program, an initiative of the Workforce Alliance of Palm Beach County, WPBF reported. The organization is using $3 million of stimulus money to fund the positions the young adults find, the station said. iReport.com: Share your job hunt story
The group also prepares the job seekers for interviews and provides seminars in how to deal with work-life situations.
"I got fired like five times. It was bad," John Hill told WPBF. He chose a seminar on working better with a supervisor.
"Because I usually don't," he told the station. Read the full report on WPBF
The state of Arkansas is using federal money to fund jobs for at-risk students in Springdale, according to KHBS-TV in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
The town's youth center hired five teens to work in clerical and maintenance positions, KHBS reported. David Cook told the station he has had trouble motivating himself to go to school. The summer job was helping him with a shift on focus.
"It gives me a sense of responsibility of showing up on time, working on a schedule and with other people," he told KHBS. Read the full report on KHBS
West: FedEx center brings 650 jobs to Oregon
Even before a new FedEx shipping center brings hundreds of jobs to Troutdale, Oregon, it is helping with employment through road construction jobs, according to KPTV-TV in Portland.
The new hub, which is expected to be completed in July 2010, will bring more than 1,000 additional cars to the area, so the Oregon Department of Transportation called for two additional lanes at a nearby major intersection, KPTV reported.
FedEx is expected to employ 650 workers at the facility once it opens, according to KPTV.
"We're creating family wage jobs, because this project will take place this summer," Troutdale Mayor Jim Kight told the station.
Oregon's unemployment rate was a record 12.4 percent in May. Read the full report on KPTV
South: No job? Create your own
He was once a senior loan officer who had been laid off and was looking every day for a job anywhere there might be an opportunity.
When he couldn't find the right chance, he created his own.
Kenneth Hodge is now a small business owner, the founder of SFG Records.
"If you look at your failures, if you stare at your failures too long, you'll never go anywhere," Hodge told WPBF. "But if you look beyond your failures, you can move to and fulfill your dreams. You can do that. I think I can do that, and we are doing that."
Six recording artists are featured on his Web site, and Hodge told the West Palm Beach station that he has already hired seven employees. Read the full report on WPBF

JENA, Louisiana (CNN) -- Charges against Bryant Purvis, one of the six black students accused of being involved in beating a white student, were reduced to second degree aggravated battery during his arraignment Wednesday morning.
Bryant Purvis says he is focusing on his studies and practicing basketball.
Purvis, who was facing charges of second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy, entered a not guilty plea to the reduced charges in the LaSalle Parish Courthouse in Jena.
Charges have now been reduced against at least five of the students in the racially charged "Jena 6" case. Charges against Jesse Ray Beard, who was 14 at the time of the alleged crime, are unavailable because he's a juvenile.
Civil rights leaders Martin Luther King III and Al Sharpton led more than 15,000 marchers to Jena -- a town of about 3,000 -- in September to protest how authorities handled the cases against Purvis and five other teens accused of the December 2006 beating of fellow student Justin Barker.
After the arraignment, Purvis said he has moved to another town to complete high school. He said he is focusing on his studies and practicing basketball, which he hopes to play in college.
Mychal Bell, 17, is the only one of the "Jena 6" teens still in jail. Although he was released in September after his adult criminal conviction for the beating was overturned, he was ordered two weeks later to spend 18 months in a juvenile facility for a probation violation relating to an earlier juvenile conviction.
A district judge tossed out Bell's conviction for conspiracy to commit second-degree battery, saying the matter should have been handled in juvenile court. The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal in Lake Charles, Louisiana, did the same with Bell's battery conviction in mid-September.
Prosecutors originally charged all six black students accused of being involved in beating Barker with second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy. E-mail to a friend

<P> The Treaty of Allahabad was signed on 12 August 1765 , between the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II , son of the late Emperor Alamgir II , and Robert , Lord Clive , of the East India Company , as a result of the Battle of Buxar of 22 October 1764 . The Treaty marks the political and constitutional involvement and the beginning of British rule in India . Based on the terms of the agreement , Alam granted the East India Company Diwani rights , or the right to collect taxes on behalf of the Emperor from the eastern province of Bengal - Bihar - Orissa . Thus East India Company got appointed as the imperial tax collector for the Eastern province ( Bengal - Bihar - Orissa ) . These rights allowed the Company to collect revenue directly from the people of Bengal , Bihar and Orissa . In return , the Company paid an annual tribute of twenty - six lakhs of rupees ( equal to 260,000 pounds sterling ) while securing for Shah Alam II the districts of Kora and Allahabad . The tribute money paid to the emperor was for the maintenance of the Emperor 's court in Allahabad . The accord also dictated that Shah Alam be restored to the province of Varanasi as long as he continued to pay certain amount of revenue to the Company . Awadh was returned to Shuja - ud - Daulah , but Allahabad and Kora were taken from him . The Nawab of Awadh also had to pay fifty - three lakhs of rupees as war indemnity to the East India Company . </P>

He served again during World War II, as a Staff Captain and army welfare officer. Crowder served as a Hampshire County Councillor 1931-46 and a Fleet Urban District Councillor 1933-46. He was vice-chairman of the Aldershot and North Hants Conservative Association from 1930. He won Finchley in 1935 by a majority of 18,040 over Thomas Robertson, who had been Liberal MP for the seat 1923-24. In Parliament, Crowder was an influential member of the 1922 Committee and Second Church Estates Commissioner. His son Petre Crowder also became a Member of Parliament. He appears as a character in The Long Walk to Finchley, on Thatcher's selection to succeed him as Conservative candidate for his seat - he is played, in a less than flattering light, by Geoffrey Palmer.

A Soviet journalist nicknamed her the "Iron Lady", which became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented Conservative policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism. [PAR] Originally a research chemist before becoming a barrister, Thatcher was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Finchley in 1959. Edward Heath appointed her Secretary of State for Education and Science in his 1970 government. In 1975 Thatcher defeated Heath in the Conservative Party leadership election and became Leader of the Opposition, as well as the first woman to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became Prime Minister after winning the 1979 general election. [PAR] After entering 10 Downing Street, Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives to reverse what she perceived to be Britain's precipitous national decline. Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment, until economic recovery and the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her re-election in 1983.

The bill also required rotation of principal maintenance inspectors and stipulated that the word "customer" properly applies to the flying public, not those entities regulated by the FAA. The bill died in a Senate committee that year.

[PAR] Published on Oct 3, 2015 [PAR] Liverpool Lime Street is a terminus railway station, and the main station serving the city centre of Liverpool. A large building resembling a Château fronts the station. A branch of the West Coast Main Line from London Euston terminates at the station, as well as TransPennine Express trains and other train services. The underground Lime Street Wirral Line station of the Merseyrail network is accessed via the main terminus. Lime Street is the largest and oldest railway station in Liverpool, and is one of 19 stations managed by Network Rail. [PAR] The original terminus of the 1830 Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR) was located at Crown Street, in Edge Hill, to the east and outside the city centre. Construction of a purpose-built station at Lime Street in the city centre began in October 1833, the land being purchased from Liverpool Corporation for £9,000. A tunnel was constructed between Edge Hill and the new station prior to station construction in 1832. The architecture was designed by Cunningham and Holme,[2] and the station was opened to the public in August 1836, although construction was not completed until the following year. Because of the steep incline between Lime Street and Edge Hill, trains were stopped at Edge Hill, their locomotives removed, and the passenger carriages taken down by gravity, with the descent controlled by brakemen. The return journey was achieved by using a stationary engine to haul the carriages up to Edge Hill by rope. [PAR] Within six years, the rapid growth of the railways entailed expansion of the original station. A plan was made to erect an iron roof similar to that found at Euston station in London, ridge roofs supported by iron columns; however, Richard Turner and William Fairburn submitted a design for a single curved roof, which won the approval of the station committee. The work cost £15,000, and was completed in 1849. [PAR] In 1867 further expansion was needed and included the present northern arched train shed. With a span of 200 feet (61 m), it was the largest in the world at the time. It was also the first train shed in which iron was used throughout. A second parallel southern train shed was completed in 1879 being notable in being of dry construction with each bay taking only three days to construct. [PAR] The station is fronted by a large building in the style of a French château, the former North Western Hotel. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the building was built in 1879 at the same time as the second train shed and is now accommodation for students of Liverpool John Moores University. [PAR] A new ticket hall and office complex, which masked the views of the arches, were constructed in 2001. They were demolished as part of a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2010. [PAR] In 1845 the L&MR was absorbed by its principal business partner, the Grand Junction Railway (GJR); the following year the GJR became part of the London and North Western Railway. At 'the grouping' in 1923, the station passed to the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway, and in 1948, the London Midland Region of British Railways. The station was one of the first to send mail by train. [PAR] Lime Street station was part of the first stage of electrification of the West Coast Main Line in 1959. In 1966, the station saw the launch of the first InterCity service. [PAR] With the creation of Merseyrail urban rail network in the 1970s, four terminus stations were demolished in Liverpool and Birkenhead centres, leaving only Lime Street terminus as a central point to serve the whole region for medium- and long-haul routes. The Merseyrail network gave ease of access for the whole Merseyside region

Since her first marriage at the tender age of twelve, she has had five husbands. She says that many people have criticized her for her numerous marriages, most of them on the basis that Christ went only once to a wedding, at Cana in Galilee. The Wife of Bath has her own views of Scripture and God’s plan. She says that men can only guess and interpret what Jesus meant when he told a Samaritan woman that her fifth husband was not her husband. With or without this bit of Scripture, no man has ever been able to give her an exact reply when she asks to know how many husbands a woman may have in her lifetime. God bade us to wax fruitful and multiply, she says, and that is the text that she wholeheartedly endorses. After all, great Old Testament figures, like Abraham, Jacob, and Solomon, enjoyed multiple wives at once. She admits that many great Fathers of the Church have proclaimed the importance of virginity, such as the Apostle Paul. But, she reasons, even if virginity is important, someone must be procreating so that virgins can be created. Leave virginity to the perfect, she says, and let the rest of us use our gifts as best we may—and her gift, doubtless, is her sexual power. She uses this power as an “instrument” to control her husbands. [PAR] At this point, the Pardoner interrupts. He is planning to marry soon and worries that his wife will control his body, as the Wife of Bath describes. The Wife of Bath tells him to have patience and to listen to the whole tale to see if it reveals the truth about marriage. Of her five husbands, three have been “good” and two have been “bad.” The first three were good, she admits, mostly because they were rich, old, and submissive. She laughs to recall the torments that she put these men through and recounts a typical conversation that she had with her older husbands. She would accuse her -husband of having an affair, launching into a tirade in which she would charge him with a bewildering array of accusations. If one of her husbands got drunk, she would claim he said that every wife is out to destroy her husband. He would then feel guilty and give her what she wanted. All of this, the Wife of Bath tells the rest of the pilgrims, was a pack of lies—her husbands never held these opinions, but she made these claims to give them grief. Worse, she would tease her husbands in bed, refusing to give them full satisfaction until they promised her money. She admits proudly to using her verbal and sexual power to bring her husbands to total submission. [PAR] Analysis [PAR] In her lengthy Prologue, the Wife of Bath recites her autobiography, announcing in her very first word that “experience” will be her guide. Yet, despite her claim that experience is her sole authority, the Wife of Bath apparently feels the need to establish her authority in a more scholarly way. She imitates the ways of churchmen and scholars by backing up her claims with quotations from Scripture and works of antiquity. The Wife carelessly flings around references as textual evidence to buttress her argument, most of which don’t really correspond to her points. Her reference to Ptolemy’s Almageste, for instance, is completely erroneous—the phrase she attributes to that book appears nowhere in the work. Although her many errors display her lack of real scholarship, they also convey Chaucer’s mockery of the churchmen present, who often misused

(OPRAH.com) -- When I was a teen, I tried to read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. My goal: Memorize its contents, be on TV game shows, win cash and prizes, run away from home, move to Manhattan and become a professional writer.
Instead of focusing on getting Mr. Right, focus on finding Life Plan Right, says author.
I got as far as Asparagus. To this day, I know a little about a lot of words beginning with "A." Some favorites: ants, atoms, alchemy.
Plus, Aristotle was a childhood crush, because I've always loved philosophy. When I finished reading his one-page encyclopedic write-up, I bought books about him. I'd been saving these dog-eared, underlined Aristotle books, as well as the "A" book of Britannica, all to be used in a novel, where I'd been planning to bless my protagonist with the quirky detail of knowing all things "A."
I recently rediscovered these Aristotle books when moving apartments. I flipped through and was surprised to discover Aristotle said a lot of the same things about love and happiness as modern psychologists. Only Aristotle obviously said it first, having been born at least 300 years B.C. Plus, Aristotle said it truly wisely.
Indeed, much of what Aristotle said hit home big-time -- in particular about a sexy, smart, funny, rich, lying, cheating, don't-get-me-started Prince Harming I'd just broken up with. I could almost hear what Aristotle might say to me if we were to chat over souvlaki.
'Sold your soul to be with him'
"Mea bene, Karen," Aristotle would say. "You know what your problem was with your ex? He was not your soul mate -- but your 'sold' mate -- because you sold your soul to be with him. Sure he was sexy, smart, rich, funny -- but alas, he was a liar and a cheat."
"You're an intellectual guy." I'd correct the regaled philosopher called the "Mind of the Academy" by Plato. "I'm surprised you believe in something as namby-pamby metaphysical as a soul mate!" Oprah.com: 10 rules to soul mate love
"Absolutely!" My fave Greek philosopher buddy Ari would respond emphatically.
"Actually, I sort of coined the concept of 'soul mate.' If there'd been a little TM trademark thingy back in the 300s B.C., I'd be a very rich man today. I firmly believe caretaking the soul is incredibly important for happiness. I describe a soul mate as a 'soul-nurturing mate.' Someone who nurtures your soul, thereby promoting insight and growth. I pushed folks to find soul mates because, in my opinion, real happiness only comes when you stimulate your core self -- and grow into your highest potential. Basically, the soul is the ultimate G-spot for happiness."
Of course, I'm paraphrasing for my philosopher buddy. But if Aristotle were here, I know he'd agree with my verbal modernization. Plus, Ari would go on to describe how he views the world as offering three kinds of relationships, only one of which brings true happiness.
3 kinds of relationships
According to ancient philosopher Aristotle, there are three kinds of relationships, only one of which will bring you true happiness. Find out how your relationship measures up!
1. Relationships of pleasure
Partners who are about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. You share soulless, passionate sex and playful banter -- but they're about the body or ego. They never soul-nurture you with insight and growth, so they never bring real-deal happiness. Oprah.com: How to break your bad man habit
2. Relationships of utility
Partners you spend time with in hopes of garnering status, power, money and beauty like the rich guy with a trophy girl. Again, this is about body or ego and doesn't bring true joy.
3. Relationships of shared

In the early and mid-2000s, the Bush administration called numerous times for investigation into the safety and soundness of the GSEs and their swelling portfolio of subprime mortgages. On September 10, 2003, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing at the urging of the administration to assess safety and soundness issues and to review a recent report by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) that had uncovered accounting discrepancies within the two entities. The hearings never resulted in new legislation or formal investigation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as many of the committee members refused to accept the report and instead rebuked OFHEO for their attempt at regulation. Some believe this was an early warning to the systemic risk that the growing market in subprime mortgages posed to the U.S. financial system that went unheeded.

<P> The Volunteer Fire Department ( V.F.D. ) is a secret organization dedicated to the promotion of literacy , classical learning , and crime prevention within the book series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket . V.F.D. is an abbreviation for various terms related to the organization , which helps to increase the reader 's confusion of what the initials actually stand for . The Baudelaires excepted , the meanings are perfectly clear to the organization 's members . V.F.D. was first mentioned in The Austere Academy when Duncan and Isadora Quagmire were researching Count Olaf . At the climax of the book , they reveal that they have discovered an important secret , but are kidnapped by Olaf before they can tell the Baudelaires . There are mentions of V.F.D. in every book in the series following The Austere Academy . The theme becomes increasingly prominent in subsequent volumes as the Baudelaire orphans investigate the initials ' true meaning , and it appears to figure centrally in their parents ' deaths and the schemes of their enemy , Count Olaf . It eventually transpires that it is the name of a secret organization . The Slippery Slope suggests that V.F.D. stands for ' Volunteer Fire Department ' , among other things ; in The End Lemony Snicket 's narration confirms that ' Volunteer Fire Department ' is the correct meaning of the initials . In The Grim Grotto , it is revealed that while this was the origin of the organization , its members had many other interests . While the name `` Volunteer Fire Department '' connotes a group that actively puts out fires ( metaphorically as well as literally , according to Kit Snicket ) , it can be read to mean a group that actively starts fires ( something of an allusion to the `` firemen '' in Ray Bradbury 's Fahrenheit 451 ) , which indeed happens when the group is split because of a schism . One group of Schismatics fights fires and the other half are arsonists . When the Schism occurred and exactly why it occurred is unknown , except that it was in the childhood of Kit Snicket and Dewey Denouement and that it appears that a line has been drawn between those who stop fires and those who start them . The members of the former are called `` volunteers '' and the members of the latter are called `` villains '' . The `` volunteers '' often appear to be desperate , in that their situation seems to be one of dire straits . It is openly stated that the `` villains '' are growing more powerful and the `` volunteers '' weaker ; however , the epilogue of the thirteenth and final book suggests that after the events therein , the `` volunteer '' half of the organization seems to have survived or recovered , while the `` villain '' half has returned to its former power . The protagonists of the series ( Violet , Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire ) discover that their parents were members of this secret organization , as were many of the guardians they were placed with after their parents ' death , along with various other people they encounter throughout the books . </P>

Ruben Navarrette Jr. says President Felipe Calderon's war on drugs remains a noble battle for the soul of Mexico.
SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- It has nothing to do with Michael Jackson or Sarah Palin, but there's a big story brewing south of the border to which Americans should pay close attention.
Like a monster that refuses to die, Mexico's once-disgraced Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, made a convincing comeback in last weekend's midterm elections. The PRI recaptured its majority in the 500-member Chamber of Deputies and won five of six governorships up for grabs.
The rival National Action Party, or PAN, which had controlled the legislative branch since 2000, suffered heavy losses. German Martinez, president of the PAN, resigned this week after taking responsibility for the electoral failures.
Political observers on both sides of the border are calling the elections results a no-confidence vote in the Mexican economy and a significant rebuke to President Felipe Calderon's admirable but all-consuming war against the drug cartels.
Calderon -- who is in the PAN -- is halfway through a six-year term, so he wasn't on the ballot.
The presidency is next on the ballot in 2012, and observers think that the fact that the PRI aced its midterms sets the party up nicely to accomplish something that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago: retake the top job that it held for much of the 20th century -- 71 years, to be precise -- through corruption and intimidation.
In 2000, the PAN's Vicente Fox broke that streak and reintroduced democracy in Mexico. Calderon squeaked out a narrow victory against a third-party candidate in 2006.
The Harvard-educated lawyer and economist immediately and bravely took the fight to drug lords across the country, unleashing the military in a conflict that has so far killed more than 10,000 Mexicans with no end in sight.
And there are now serious issues -- as spelled out this week in The Washington Post -- involving allegations of torture, forced disappearances and other abuse by the Mexican military as it seeks to retaliate for the killing of soldiers and other terrorist acts committed by the drug cartels.
The Obama administration, which has pledged to support Calderon's drug war, would no doubt like to put an end to this alleged behavior before paying out the remainder of the $1.4 billion in aid to Mexico that Congress approved in the Merida Initiative.
The trouble is that President Obama has been reluctant to make human rights demands of an adversary such as Iran, which could make it hard to lean on a friend such as Mexico. And as Mexican human rights activists point out, the U.S. government is in a difficult position to preach against torture given that it is accused of using it in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Still, Calderon's war remains a noble battle for the soul of Mexico. And there's evidence that the drug cartels are feeling the pinch. Unable to move their product to customers in Canada and the United States, the cartels are growing desperate.
The Calderon government is seizing so much of the product and arresting or killing so many drug traffickers, that profits are slipping. The drug lords are forced to import more guns from the United States at higher prices and channel more drug shipments to Mexican customers, who pay lower prices than the cartels could charge Americans if the drugs were making their way north.
This is bad news for the traffickers. But it's great news for the Mexican people, even if they don't know it. Judging from reports in the Mexican press, many Mexicans -- while supportive of the drug war -- think it ultimately will fail, and they're tired of the violence. Many fault Calderon for, in a popular metaphor, "stirring the hornet's nest."
Meanwhile, although the PRI didn't explicitly campaign on a platform of being anti-drug war, the implied message was that

(CNN) -- Need some social etiquette advice for the digital age? Brad Pitt's got your back in this month's cover story from Wired Magazine.
In Wired's new cover story, Brad Pitt offers etiquette for the digital age.
So Brad, should people talk on the phone while they're using the restroom?
"No, you can't talk on the phone!" Pitt tells the magazine. "Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation?
"That's why you should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don't hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don't want those followers." Watch a CNN video about cell phone etiquette »
Humor covers for Pitt's lack of tech credentials as the Hollywood hunk and star of Quentin Tarantino's new film, "Inglourious Basterds" offers up a range of tongue-in-cheek advice for Wired readers.
He touches on subjects ranging from managing your online persona to looking at porn on your work computer.
Wired says Pitt approached the magazine with ideas for the story. The magazine, which is owned by Conde Nast and is a CNN.com content partner, collaborated with Pitt and contributing photographer Dan Winters to create the article.
"How to Behave: New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans" hits newsstands July 21. Wired said in an e-mail that the piece is a re-think of the celebrity magazine profile.
On the cover, a photo shows Pitt wearing a Bluetooth device in his ear.
"Rule No. 52: Ditch the headset. He can barely pull it off -- and you are not him," a blurb on the magazine front says.
Most of the article is delivered in a spoof question-answer format. Pitt contributes several answers, as do regular Wired writers.
One question asks if a person who exaggerated his or her salary on an online dating profile should confess.
"Hell no," Pitt writes. "Everyone lies online. In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don't, they'll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie."
A question about viewing pornography at work is paired with a photo of Pitt scanning a copy of Hustler magazine at an office desk. A half-eaten doughnut sits on the table in front of him.
"Don't just look at it at work, bring in your old porn mags and scan them there!" Pitt writes in the magazine. "It's like converting your vinyl to MP3s. Fill up your hard drive, and when you need a break from spreadsheets, just open a favorite pictorial."
Pitt's OK with porn, but he's less understanding of people who want to answer urgent cell phone calls during movies.
"It may be a brief interruption -- just a few seconds -- but what if someone sitting near you is trying to make a decent bootleg? Did you ever think of that? Now all those street-corner copies are permanently defiled by your so-called 'emergency,' " he writes. "Don't be so damn selfish."

It is located on the northern coast of the Black Sea (blue, below) and on the western coast of the Sea of Azov (green, upper right), on the Crimean Peninsula, bordering Kherson Oblast from the North. Crimea’s total land area is 26,100 km2 (10,077 sq mi). [PAR] Crimea is connected to the mainland by the 5–7 kilometres (3.1–4.3 mi) wide Isthmus of Perekop. However, it is almost cut off from the mainland by the Sivash Sea, actually a large system of shallow, silty lagoons. Here, the lagoons show varied, bright colors, ranging from lime green to electric blue to pink. [PAR] At the eastern tip of Crimea is the Kerch Peninsula, which is directly opposite the Taman Peninsula on the Russian mainland. Between the Kerch and Taman peninsulas, lies the 3–13 kilometres (1.9–8.1 mi) wide Strait of Kerch, which connects the waters of the Black Sea with the Sea of Azov. [PAR] The Crimean coastline is broken by several bays and harbors. The southeast coast is flanked at a distance of 8–12 kilometres (5.0–7.5 mi) from the sea by a parallel range of mountains, the Crimean Mountains. These mountains are backed by secondary parallel ranges. Seventy-five percent of the remaining area of Crimea consists of semiarid prairie lands, a southward continuation of the Pontic steppes, which slope gently to the northwest from the foot of the Crimean Mountains.

[PAR] The waters between the Sea of Azov and the Isthmus of Perekop appear more shallow and filled with sediments, making the water a greenish-tan color. [PAR] This area is known as the Sivash Sea, or Putrid Sea. It is a salt lagoon, about 1,000 sq mi (2,590 sq km), extending along the northeastern coast of Crimea.

[DOC] [TLE] Greek Goddesses - Paleothea.comGreek Goddesses [PAR] The Greek Goddesses [PAR] Every Greek Goddess You've Heard Of - And A Bunch You Haven't [PAR] Aceso [PAR] Aceso was a goddess personifying the healing process. She was the daughter of Epione and Asclepius (the main healer dude) and sister to Aegle , Hygeia , Panaceia , and Iaso . Like the other members of her family, she was a Goddess of Healing. She shared an altar with her sisters and Aphrodite and Athena at Epidauros. [PAR] Achelois [PAR] Achelois means "she who drives away pain". She was a Moon Goddess, which wasn't really that uncommon. The Dodonian Oracle ordered sacrifice to her. But according to Tzetzes (this old Roman dude), Achelois was one of the seven Muses said to be the daughters of Pierus. [PAR] Achlys [PAR] She was the personification of Eternal Night, what was believed to have presaged Chaos. There was another who personified Misery, and Hesiod described her in the Shield of Heracles: "And beside them [the Keres and the Moirai ] was standing Akhlys, dismal and dejected, green and pale, dirty-dry, fallen in on herself with hunger, knee-swollen, and the nails were grown long on her hands, and from her nostrils the drip kept running, and off her cheeks the blood dribbled to the ground, and she stood there, grinning forever, and the dust that had gathered and lay in heaps on her shoulders was muddy with tears." How pleasant.n [PAR] Adrastea [PAR] The name means something like, "unyielding," and is a surname of Nemesis . Another chica named Adrastea was the daughter of Amaltheia (a nymph) and King Melisseus of Crete, and she took care of the infant Zeus with her sister, Ida, and the Curetes (these guys - whom some say were her brothers - who danced around and beat their weapons really loudly so that Cronos wouldn't hear Zeus' cries). Adrastea was a good babysitter and kept baby Zeus occupied with a pretty globe. n [PAR] Aedos [PAR] She was the personification of Modesty or Shame. She is often mentioned alongside Nemesis , who was goddess pretty big on conscience. Penelope 's dad, Icarius, built a statue of Aedos about 6 miles outside of Sparta after his darling daughter left him for Odysseus. [PAR] Aega [PAR] Aega was a lot of people. I will mention the more important ones. In one version she and her sisters suckled the infant Zeus and she was put in the sky later as the constellation Capella. In another version, she was chosen to suckle Zeus but couldn't cut it, so Amalthea came in to take her place. In another version she was a daughter of Helios who was so bright that when the Titans were attacking Olympus they had to ask Gaia to hide her - then she was stuck in a cave, where she ended up suckling Zeus. Zeus got the aegis from the goat version of Aega. Aega is mostly translated as "goat," but can also be said to be "gale of wind." [PAR] Aegle [PAR] One of the daughters of Aesclepius and Lampetia , or, more commonly, Epione . Like her sisters she was a Goddess of Healing. But she, like Iaso , is very rarely considered to be above demi-goddess level. Human Aegle was a couple of different people. There was also a nymph Aegle. Her name means "Brightness" or "Splendor" and she personified the "glowing health of the human body."n [PAR] Aetna [PAR] Aetna was the daughter of Gaia and Uranus. She was the personification of Mt. Etna, you know, the one Zeus threw on Typhon? What? You don't? Well, then you should keep looking for the new myths page filled with creation stories! Anyway, back to Aetna. She was a volcano (thanks to the fire-breathing Typhon, who lives underneath her). When Demeter and Hephaestus were arguing over Sicily (land of volcanoes and corn) Aetna stepped in to arbitrate.

The party leader was in the Commons for the first time in more than 30 years to see Douglas Carswell re-take his seat after claiming victory in the Clacton by-election . Mr Carswell, who triggered the contest after defecting from the Tories , was shepherded into the chamber by former colleagues Zac Goldsmith and Sir Peter Tapsell. Arriving at Westminster, Mr Farage said he had not been in the Commons since he was 17 - although he has been to the Lords. [PAR] Asked if it felt like an emotional moment for the party, he said: "It does. I think it is a moment. I am here to represent Ukip and the millions of people who we represent." As an MEP, Mr Farage does not have automatic access to the parliamentary estate. The House authorities indicated Ukip would have needed to apply for tickets to sit in the public gallery. Before being sworn in, Mr Carswell told journalists he was "delighted" that Mr Farage would be there. [PAR] Mr Carswell said his victory in Clacton with a 12,000 majority showed "change is coming". "People are worn down by a three-party system that is not on their side," he said. The returning MP said he felt "reinvigorated" and would immediately be adding his name to amendments tabled by Mr Goldsmith aiming to toughen coalition proposals allowing voters to recall MPs. "I am going to come here and try and do the things that I promised." [PAR] Mr Carswell said he had been "taken aback" by the number of "friendly messages" he has received from Tories. He also disclosed that chief whip Michael Gove telephoned him to offer congratulations after he won. A by-election in the Rochester and Strood seat of Mark Reckless, who has also defected from the Tories to Ukip , is expected to be held next month. Asked if he believed he would be back to watch Mr Reckless go through the same ceremony, Mr Farage said: "I jolly well hope so." [PAR] Although Bob Spink briefly represented Ukip in the Commons after switching sides, Mr Carswell is the first MP elected under the party's banner. It narrowly missed out on a shock second seat last Thursday when Labour candidate Liz McInnes - who was also sworn in as member for Heywood and Middleton today - squeezed home by only around 600 votes. Ukip has had a handful of peers, and currently boasts 24 MEPs after topping Euro elections in May. Earlier, David Cameron attempted to wrest back the initiative in the wake of the Clacton result by again warning that a vote for Ukip made an EU referendum less likely. [PAR] Speaking on a visit to Portsmouth, he said: "If you vote Labour or Liberal or Ukip, you are more likely to end up with Ed Miliband in Downing Street and Ed Balls in the Treasury doing the opposite. The most important thing is if they vote Conservative, they will get the things they want - the continuation of economic growth, more jobs, cutting people's taxes and crucially a referendum, an in-out referendum on Europe. If you vote Ukip, the chances are you will get a Labour government that won't give you action on immigration, won't give you an in-out referendum and will continue to wreck our economy as they did last time."

<P> It is the theme song of the movie High Noon , sung over the opening credits by Tex Ritter , with its tune repeated throughout the film . It was awarded the 1952 Academy Award for Best Original Song , and was performed that night for the Academy by Ritter . The song is about the film 's main character , Will Kane ( played by Gary Cooper ) , and the moral dilemma of his new wife , Amy Fowler - Kane ( played by Grace Kelly ) , abandoning ( or `` forsaking '' ) him because he chooses to stay and fight ( and risk being killed ) instead of running away with her after their wedding . The song refers to how he ca n't have a safe life with her until he has eliminated the threats that face him , and he wants her to stay with him just a while longer until it 's all over and not give up on him for good . The song 's lyrics significantly foreshadow the final set - piece of the film , in which Amy returns to help save Will , though this is only obvious on repeat viewings . </P>

He portrayed Sir Humphrey Appleby, the Permanent Secretary in the 1980s sitcom "Yes Minister" and the Cabinet Secretary in its sequel, "Yes, Prime Minister". For this role, he won four BAFTA TV Awards for Best Light Entertainment Performance. He won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for portraying King George III in "The Madness of King George" (1994). He later won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actor, for the 1996 series "The Fragile Heart". He was also an Olivier Award and Tony Award winner for his work in the theatre. [PAR] [TLE] The Madness of King George [SEP] The Madness of King George is a 1994 British biographical historical comedy-drama film directed by Nicholas Hytner and adapted by Alan Bennett from his own play, "The Madness of George III". It tells the true story of George III of Great Britain's deteriorating mental health, and his equally declining relationship with his eldest son, the Prince of Wales, particularly focusing on the period around the Regency Crisis of 1788–89. Modern medicine has suggested that the King's symptoms were the result of acute intermittent porphyria, although this theory has more recently been vigorously challenged, most notably by a research project based at St George's, University of London, which concluded that George III did actually suffer from mental illness after all.

He was also a five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Around fifteen years before success as a writer, he frequently changed jobs and roamed across the Russian Empire; these experiences would later influence his writing.

He had an association with fellow Russian writers Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov; Gorky would later mention them in his memoirs.

[PAR] Uploaded on Jan 22, 2011 [PAR] Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance and disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater, members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage. Although the central roles and love story are fictitious, some characters are based on genuine historical figures. Gloria Stuart portrays the elderly Rose, who narrates the film in a modern-day framing device, and Billy Zane plays Cal Hockley, the overbearing fiancé of the younger Rose. Cameron saw the love story as a way to engage the audience with the real-life tragedy. [PAR] Production on the film began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base when filming the actual wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built at Playas de Rosarito, Baja California, and scale models and computer-generated imagery were also used to recreate the sinking. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox -- respectively, its American and international distributors -- and at the time, it was the most expensive film ever made, with an estimated budget of US$200 million.[3][4][5][6] [PAR] The film was originally scheduled to open on July 2, 1997; however, post-production delays pushed back its release to December 19 instead.[7] Titanic was an enormous critical and commercial success. It was nominated for fourteen Academy Awards, eventually winning eleven, including Best Picture and Best Director.[8] It became the highest-grossing film of all time, with a worldwide gross of over $1.8 billion -- the first film to reach the billion dollar mark -- and remained so for twelve years until Cameron's next directorial effort, Avatar, surpassed it in 2010.[9][10] Titanic is also ranked as the sixth best epic film of all time in AFI's 10 Top 10 by the American Film Institute.[11] The film is due for theatrical re-release in 2012 after Cameron completes its conversion into 3-D.[12] [PAR] For more go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_... ) [PAR] Category[DOC] [TLE] Titanic (film) - James Cameron's Titanic Wiki - WikiaTitanic (film) | James Cameron's Titanic Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [PAR] Titanic is a [PAR] The theatrical poster for Titanic.

Second Life allows people to lead two lives -- one in the real world and another in the virtual. But in a way, Second Life itself leads two lives.
In just fours years of existence, Second Life has moved far beyond people simulating other lives on the Internet.
In its first, well-publicized life, it's a forum for residents to socialize, shop and even have sex via on-screen avatars. In its second life, it's a flexible platform for running inexpensive simulations and experiments.
The latter might prove to be the most important.
"Second Life's real potential may be that of an experimentation platform," says Eric Klopfer, a professor at MIT. He notes the ability within Second Life to rapidly construct objects and experiences "without having to build the world from scratch."
Indeed, it's relatively easy for residents to build objects that others can use, sit on, walk through, pick up and so on. That can mean anything from a hammer to a house to a landscape. And since it's also easy to share, replicate and tweak creations, Second Life is a world of abundance for creators.
That makes it an effective testing platform for trying out concepts quickly and cheaply. David E. Stone, an MIT research fellow, reports creating simulations in three days -- for $350 -- that others proposed building in six months for $60,000.
That's caught the attention of the corporate world. Many companies see potential savings, for instance, in moving parts of their new-employee training programs to a virtual world. Stone has been hired by a range of companies -- from a pest extermination firm to a power plant operator -- to create prototypes of such systems in Second Life.
Security concerns
Testing a concept in Second Life doesn't have to mean hosting the final product there. Security might be a concern, for instance.
"By definition, social networking is open," notes Paul Terlemezian, president of iFive Alliances, a corporate-training consultancy in Atlanta. "That's kind of contrary to corporate training, which is closed and proprietary."
A company, then, might try to find a more secure virtual environment, or perhaps add security elements within Second Life.
Of course, most of the experimenting done in Second Life is far more light-hearted. But it's still often easy to envision commercial or educational applications.
In one YouTube clip a man is seen exercising on a treadmill in front of a large plasma screen that displays scenes from Second Life. Using the wireless controller from Nintendo's Wii console, he appears to indicate which scenery he would like to jog "through" on the screen. If that's a workable concept, the fitness equipment industry might like to know about it.
Other Second Life experiments aim to make experimentation itself easier -- especially important for those with little programming knowledge. This suggests that the level of creativity will only increase.
Many residents who have learned how to create objects -- like a house -- still lack the scripting skills to add behavior to those objects. So Eric Rosenbaum, a grad student at MIT's Media Lab, is building a user-friendly programming tool for easily adding behaviors. When the tool is available, turning a static dance floor into an interactive one that shakes when stepped on could simply require dragging a "Shake" module over it.
How a capability like that might be used is anyone's guess, including Rosenbaum's, he admits. But, he adds, "We could see a blossoming of new content created by people who don't have any background in programming, but who can imagine and create new kinds of experiences in Second Life."
Tapping users' creativity
Of course, back in 2003 when Second Life was launched as a largely user-generated virtual world, how it would be used was anyone's guess. But the whole idea was to tap the creativity of the residents themselves.
"I'm not surprised by the amount of experimentation in Second Life," says Philip Rosedale, founder and CEO of Linden

The region of modern Eastern Europe and Central Eurasia (Russia, Ukraine and other countries of the ex-USSR) have a long history of Christianity and Christian communities on its lands. In ancient times, in the first centuries after the birth of Christ, when this region was called[by whom?] Scythia - Christians already lived there. Later the region saw the first states to adopt Christianity officially - initially in Armenia (301 AD) and in Georgia (337 AD), later in the Great Russian Principality (Kyivan Rus, Russian: Великое княжество Русское, ca 988 AD). People of that time used to denote themselves Christians (христиане, крестьяне) and Russians (русские). Both terms had strong Christian connotations.[citation needed] It is also interesting that in time the term "крестьяне" acquired the meaning "peasants of Christian faith" and later "peasants" (the main part of the population of the region), while the term "христиане" retained its religious meaning and the term "русские" began to mean representatives of the heterogeneous Russian nation formed on the basis of common Christian faith and language,[citation needed] which strongly influenced the history and development of the region. In the region the "Pravoslav faith" (православная вера - Orthodox faith) or "Russian faith" (русская вера) from earliest times became almost as known as the original "Christian faith" (христианская, крестьянская вера). Also in some contexts the term "cossack" (козак, казак - free man by the will of God) was used[by whom?] to denote "free" Christians of steppe origin and Russian language.

In our Behind the Scenes series, CNN correspondents share their experiences in covering news and analyze the stories behind the events. Keith Oppenheim is covering the controversy in Irving, Texas over authorities' efforts to find illegal immigrants.
IRVING, Texas -- I certainly don't think I look like a cop. With a blue blazer, and scruffy khakis I take into the field, I have that look of a reporter who's trying to dress up just enough to be professional, but no more.
Protesters in Irving, Texas, demonstrate against a program that checks the immigration status of anyone arrested.
So, it came as a surprise to me when I learned some Latino men, day laborers who were standing around and hoping to get some work, thought I was a federal immigration officer.
"You thought I was from immigration?" I asked one.
"Si", the man replied. My producer, Patricia Pedraza, translated the rest. "The fear is with both immigration and the police. Now you cannot trust absolutely anybody."
In Irving, Texas, a Dallas suburb of about 200,000 people, right next to the big airport, an estimated 40 percent of the city is Latino, and anecdotally, we're told there are a lot of undocumented workers here, people who are in the U.S. illegally, but clearly don't view themselves as criminals.
"They take innocent people, they think we're all the same," another undocumented worker told me.
The fear is a reaction to what's called the Criminal Alien Program. Since September of last year, Irving police started to refer anyone arrested in their community to federal authorities, who check their immigration status.
"It's only for people who have violated Texas laws, and are arrested and brought into the Irving jail," said Larry Boyd, Irving's police chief.
As a result, referrals for deportations have shot up to 1,600, more than 40 times the number from the year before. Statistics from police show that while some of those referrals were for people who committed serious crimes, the majority were a result of misdemeanors and traffic warrants. Many sources told me that a growing number of Latinos here are afraid to drive. The risk is being caught with a suspended license, going to jail and getting deported. See the effect the program has had on Irving »
But if some in the Latino community are lying low, advocates for immigrants are speaking out -- accusing the city and police of targeting Latinos without cause.
"We believe the Criminal Alien Program is fundamentally wrong," says Carlos Quintanilla, an activist. "That there is racial profiling going on."
The city's mayor, Herbert Gears, disagrees. He says police are not taking on the role of immigration officers.
"We will make sure people are being treated fairly," he said. "That people aren't being pulled over because of the color of their skin."
As I spent more time in Irving, I came to realize that outside the large Latino community, there is broad support for the program.
"You have to start somewhere," said Sheik Shah, an Irving resident who emigrated to the U.S. from India and is now an American citizen. "Because right now, we have so many loopholes for people to come in here and work illegally."
Some were more direct. I read from two tall stacks of printed e-mail addressed to the City Council, which were overwhelmingly supported the Criminal Alien Program. One read: "Please help deport all illegals. What part of illegal do they not understand?" Another: "Thank God some people are doing something about this invasion."
In the end, Irving is in the middle of a profound disagreement, between those who feel it's wrong to refer people to immigration authorities for nonviolent crimes and misdemeanors, and those who believe illegal immigration has gone too far -- that something has to be done.
As Irving City Council member Beth Van Duyne told me: "We need to know who is in our city

Avialans diversified into a wide variety of forms during the Cretaceous Period. Many groups retained primitive characteristics, such as clawed wings and teeth, though the latter were lost independently in a number of avialan groups, including modern birds (Aves). While the earliest forms, such as Archaeopteryx and Jeholornis, retained the long bony tails of their ancestors, the tails of more advanced avialans were shortened with the advent of the pygostyle bone in the group Pygostylia. In the late Cretaceous, around 95 million years ago, the ancestor of all modern birds also evolved a better sense of smell.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Krishna Rajarman's classmates and friends remembered him Tuesday as a mentor and scholar who preferred to go home on weekends to spend time with his younger brothers than party on campus.
Krishna Rajarman, a Fulbright Scholar and honors student, was a junior at UCLA.
"We asked him, 'Why not stay a weekend because we might do something fun?' " said Ashwin Bhongir, Krishna's roommate and childhood friend.
"He said, 'I want to be here for my brothers. I like to spend time with my brothers, it's important.'"
Krishna, a 19-year-old junior at UCLA, a Fulbright Scholar and an honors student, was found Monday fatally shot at his parents' home in suburban Los Angeles.
Police said his father killed the teen, his two younger brothers, ages 7 and 12, his grandmother and mother.
Karthik Rajaram, a 45-year-old unemployed financial services expert, then killed himself, police said.
The six bodies were discovered in their neatly tended home in an upscale suburb 20 minutes outside Los Angeles on Monday. A neighbor called police to report that the wife had failed to pick her up to take her to her job.
Inside the house, police also found letters from the father explaining that mounting financial pressure had led him to kill.
Fraternity member Vim Mahadev remembered Krishna as a devoted L.A. Lakers fan who occasionally mentioned family problems, but nothing unusual.
"Nothing ever came up serious," said Mahadev. "It was mostly his dad, about financial problems. But most of the time it was how he was his hero because he was intelligent and he always knew the right decisions to make.
"It's just so ironic."
Krishna's friends Bhongir and Nahel Patel grew up around the Rajaram family and told CNN they never saw signs of family turmoil during their teenage years. "I knew his family very well, and every time I went there, it was one of the most welcoming homes I've ever been to," said Bhongir. "It was always a fun loving place to be." "He was one of the most promising friends that I ever knew, he was literally the smartest person I've ever known," said Bhongir. "He was going to make it."
Bhongir and Nahel, both business economic majors at UCLA, said Krishna's father was a role model to them. Krishna had wanted to follow his father's footsteps in studies and career.
The father received his MBA from UCLA in 1987, according to UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton.
Police said he went on to work in a financial holding company and for major accounting firms, such as Price Waterhouse.
As a freshman, Krishna joined the campus co-ed fraternity Delta Phi Beta, organized by South Asian students.
Fraternity member Natasha Parikh said she was one of Krishna's closest friends. "I just talked to him on Wednesday, and he was so excited about the new recruits we were having," she said. "He was so excited about this year, and it's so painful that he can't be here to experience the rest of our time at UCLA."
"He really didn't talk about his personal life; I always saw him as a happy guy who never once said he was going through any major difficulty, so this has come as a complete shock."

The origins of the Teddy Bear go back to a traditional story that took place in 1902 that involved President Theodore Roosevelt. The President was in the state of Mississippi trying to settle a border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. His hosts knew that the President was a devoted hunter, so they took him bear hunting. The only bear that they could find was a small bear that they tied to a tree. The President refused to shoot it, as he didn't see any sport in killing a helpless animal. [PAR] The story got out, and an editorial cartoonist for The Washington Post named Clifford Berrymandrew a cartoon showing a cub bear tied to a tree, and Teddy Roosevelt refusing to shoot it. The cartoon carried the caption "Drawing The Line In Mississippi." The cartoon caused an immediate sensation and was reprinted many times. The owners of a candy and stationary store in Brooklyn, New York named Morris and Rose Michtom were inspired by the President's act and made a stuffed toy bear to honor him. They fashioned the toy bear to look like the bear in the cartoon, and placed it in the window of their shop. Next to the bear was a copy of Berryman's cartoon and a sign saying TEDDY'S BEAR. The public created such a demand for the bear that the Michtoms joined up with a wholesale firm named Butler Brothers and started the Ideal Novelty & Toy Company, the first teddy bear factory in the United States. [PAR] Made from inexpensive materials to the most exotic fur, and from the size of a thimble on up to very large, it has been a perennial favorite of children and adults ever since.

[DOC] [TLE] London's Roman Amphitheatre, Guildhall - Historic UKLondon's Roman Amphitheatre, Guildhall [PAR] London's Roman Amphitheatre [PAR] Rent a Castle [PAR] Whether it's a folly for 2 or a fort for 20, try our castles for rent page. [PAR] By Ben Johnson | Comments [PAR] After more than a hundred years of searching by archaeologists, London’s Roman Amphitheatre was finally rediscovered in 1988 hidden beneath Guildhall Yard. It was a quite surprising discovery as the amphitheatre was found within the old Roman city walls , whereas the majority of ancient amphitheatres were located on the outside. [PAR] The history of the amphitheatre is a rather tumultuous one. Built in AD70 as a simple wooden structure, the amphitheatre had a more substantial makeover in the early 2nd century taking its capacity up to 6,000 people. During this time the arena was used for public events, animal fighting, public executions and, of course, gladiatorial combat. [PAR] After the Romans abandoned Britain in the 4th century, the amphitheatre was dismantled and much of it used for building materials. It lay derelict and in ruins for hundreds of years, however by the 11th century overcrowding in London forced the reoccupation of the area. At first the buildings that steadily encroached onto the old amphitheatre were simple ones; mostly timber houses of a Viking trade settlement. Over time these buildings gave way to an institution that Londoners are now most familiar with; the first ever Guildhall. The site had once again become the centre of London. [PAR] Today, the first hint that you’re on the right route requires a quick glance down to the floor of the Guildhall Yard. Here you’ll notice an 80m-wide curved line of dark stone that follows the edge of the amphitheatre itself. [PAR] The actual remains of the amphitheatre are located around eight metres below the ground, buried beneath layers of ancient rubbish and rubble. To reach the remains you will have to buy a ticket to the Guildhall Art Gallery, where entrance to the amphitheatre’s remains is included in the price. [PAR] Once inside you’ll see the remains of the original walls, the drainage system, and even the sand which was once used to soak up the blood from wounded Gladiators. Oh, and just in case your imagination isn’t up to snuff, there is a rather impressive digital projection that fills in the gaps of the ruins!

The new state was admitted to the Union on June 20, 1863, and was a key Civil War Border State . West Virginia was the only state to form by seceding from a Confederate state, and was one of only two states formed during the American Civil War (the other one being Nevada, which separated from Utah Territory). Bordering Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio and Maryland, West Virginia was strategically important to both the North and South. [PAR] [PAR] The area which became West Virginia furnished about an equal number of soldiers to the Union and Confederate armies. Each army recruited approximately 22,000–25,000, for a total of 44,000--50,000 for the state. (Depending on source, the total varies.) [PAR] West Virginia Civil War History Map [PAR] West Virginia Civil War Battlefield Map [PAR] West Virginia was the battlefield for the following principal Civil War battles: Battle of Camp Alleghany; Battle of Carnifex Ferry; Battle of Cheat Mountain; Battle of Droop Mountain; Battle of Greenbrier River; Battle of Harpers Ferry; Battle of Hoke's Run; Battle of Kessler's Cross Lanes; Battle of Moorefield ; Battle of Philippi; Battle of Princeton Courthouse; Battle of Rich Mountain; Battle of Shepherdstown; Battle of Smithfield Crossing ; and Battle of Summit Point .* [PAR] A Divided State: In the summer of 1861, Union troops under General George McClellan drove off Confederate troops under General Robert E. Lee. This essentially freed Unionists in the northwestern counties of Virginia to form their own government as a result of the Wheeling Convention. After Lee's departure, western Virginia continued to be a target of Confederate raids, even after the creation of the new state in 1863. These actions focused both on supplying the Confederate Army with provisions as well as attacking the vital Baltimore and Ohio Railroad that linked the northeast with the midwest, as exemplified in the Jones-Imboden Raid. Guerrilla warfare also gripped the new state, especially in the Allegheny Mountain counties to the east, where loyalties were much more divided than in the Unionist northwest part of the state.

Some advocates for Tibet, Darfur, and the spiritual practice Falun Gong, planned to protest the April 9 arrival of the torch in San Francisco. China had already requested the torch route in San Francisco be shortened. On April 7, 2008, two days prior to the actual torch relay, three activists carrying Tibetan flags scaled the suspension cables of the Golden Gate Bridge to unfurl two banners, one saying "One World, One Dream. Free Tibet", and the other, "Free Tibet '08". Among them was San Francisco resident Laurel Sutherlin, who spoke to the local TV station KPIX-CBS5 live from a cellphone, urging the International Olympic Committee to ask China not to allow the torch to go through Tibet. "Sutherlin said he was worried that the torch's planned route through Tibet would lead to more arrests and Chinese officials would use force to stifle dissent." The three activists and five supporters face charges related to trespassing, conspiracy and causing a public nuisance.

During World War I, the palace, then the home of King George V and Queen Mary, escaped unscathed. Its more valuable contents were evacuated to Windsor but the royal family remained in situ. The King imposed rationing at the palace, much to the dismay of his guests and household. To the King's later regret, David Lloyd George persuaded him to go further by ostentatiously locking the wine cellars and refraining from alcohol, to set a good example to the supposedly inebriated working class. The workers continued to imbibe and the King was left unhappy at his enforced abstinence. In 1938, the north-west pavilion, designed by Nash as a conservatory, was converted into a swimming pool.

Mutations or deletions of clock gene in mice have demonstrated the importance of body clocks to ensure the proper timing of cellular/metabolic events; clock-mutant mice are hyperphagic and obese, and have altered glucose metabolism. In mice, deletion of the Rev-ErbA alpha clock gene facilitates diet-induced obesity and changes the balance between glucose and lipid utilization predisposing to diabetes. However, it is not clear whether there is a strong association between clock gene polymorphisms in humans and the susceptibility to develop the metabolic syndrome.

[PAR] Christopher Frayling of the British Film Institute calls Things to Come “a landmark in cinematic design.” [PAR] A global war begins in 1940. This war drags out over many decades until most of the people still alive (mostly those born after the war started) do not even know who started it or why. Nothing is being manufactured at all any more and society has broken down into primative localized communities. In 1966 a great plague wipes out most of what people are left but small numbers still survive. One day a strange aircraft lands at one of these communities and its pilot tells of an organisation which is rebuilding civilization and slowly moving across the world re-civilizing these groups of survivors. Great reconstruction takes place over the next few decades and society is once again great and strong. The world’s population is now living in underground cities. In the year 2035, on the eve of man’s first flight to the moon, a popular uprising against progress (which some people claim has caused the wars of the past) gains support and becomes violent. [PAR] Synopsis [PAR] Things to Come sets out a future history for the century following 1936. It is set in the fictional English city of ‘Everytown’ (based on London , St Paul’s Cathedral is in the background) and, rather prophetically, begins in 1940 just as a global world war breaks out. [PAR] In one scene, the pilot of a biplane shoots down a more advanced single-seater enemy bomber whom he stealthily caught from behind. The biplane pilot also happens to be a doctor. He lands his own plane and pulls the enemy pilot from the wreckage. Dwelling on the madness of war they hurry to put on their masks since poison gas is leaking from the bombs in the wreckage. A little girl joins them and the enemy pilot insists she wear his mask. The biplane pilot then hurries to get the girl and himself out of the danger zone, pausing to leave the enemy pilot a gun. The man dwells on the irony that he may have gassed the little girl’s whole family and yet he has saved her. He then commits suicide . [PAR] The war lasts for decades, long enough for the remaining survivors to have forgotten the reasons for it in the first place. Strategic bombing is so successful that civilisation on both sides is totally devastated. Humanity falls into a new Dark Age where the technology level is reduced to that of medieval times, symbolised with a car being drawn like a cart by a horse. There is even a medieval-type plague sweeping through the land, known as “the wandering sickness”, which was spread by the enemy, who dropped bombs containing the virus from their few remaining aircraft. [PAR] In 1970, Everytown is run by a local warlord called Rudolf, a.k.a ‘The Boss’ or ‘The Chief’ (played by Ralph Richardson ), who is at constant war with the “Hill People” and obsessed with repairing the remaining biplanes and capturing coal mines in order to convert the coal to petroleum for the aircraft. The Chief consolidated his power over Everytown after having eradicated “the wandering sickness” by shooting all those infected with the disease. [PAR] One day, a futuristic aeroplane lands outside the town. The Chief and the townspeople are incredulous when the pilot John Cabal (played by Raymond Massey) proclaims that the last surviving band of scientists have formed a society known as ‘ Wings over the World ‘.

[DOC] [TLE] BattleshipA battleship is a large armored warship with a main battery consisting of large caliber guns. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries the battleship was the most powerful type of warship, and a fleet of battleships was vital for any nation that desired to maintain command of the sea. [PAR] The word battleship was coined around 1794 and is a contraction of the phrase line-of-battle ship, the dominant wooden warship during the Age of Sail. The term came into formal use in the late 1880s to describe a type of ironclad warship, now referred to by historians as pre-dreadnought battleships. In 1906, the commissioning of heralded a revolution in battleship design. Subsequent battleship designs, influenced by HMS Dreadnought, were referred to as "dreadnoughts". [PAR] Battleships were a symbol of naval dominance and national might, and for decades the battleship was a major factor in both diplomacy and military strategy. The global arms race in battleship construction began in Europe, following the 1890 publication of Alfred Thayer Mahan's The Influence of Sea Power upon History. This arms race culminated at the decisive Battle of Tsushima in 1905; the outcome of which significantly influenced the design of HMS Dreadnought. The launch of Dreadnought in 1906 commenced a new naval arms race. Three major fleet action between steel battleships took place. The decisive battles of the Yellow Sea (1904) and Tsushima (1905) during the Russo-Japanese War, and the Battle of Jutland (1916) during the First World War. Jutland was the largest naval battle and the only full-scale clash of battleships in the war, and it was the last major battle fought primarily by battleships in world history. [PAR] The Naval Treaties of the 1920s and 1930s limited the number of battleships, though technical innovation in battleship design continued. Both the Allies and the Axis powers deployed battleships during World War II. However they were of lesser importance, especially after the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet sank the main American battleship fleet at Pearl Harbor in 1941. [PAR] The value of the battleship has been questioned, even during the period of their prominence. In spite of the immense resources spent on battleships, there were few pitched battleship clashes. Even with their enormous firepower and protection, battleships were increasingly vulnerable to much smaller, cheaper weapons: initially the torpedo and the naval mine, and later aircraft and the guided missile. The growing range of naval engagements led to the aircraft carrier replacing the battleship as the leading capital ship during World War II, with the last battleship to be launched being in 1944. Battleships were retained by the United States Navy into the Cold War for fire support purposes before being stricken from the U.S. Naval Vessel Register in the 2000s. [PAR] Ships of the line [PAR] A ship of the line was a large, unarmored wooden sailing ship which mounted a battery of up to 120 smoothbore guns and carronades. The ship of the line developed gradually over centuries and, apart from growing in size, it changed little between the adoption of line of battle tactics in the early 17th century and the end of the sailing battleship's heyday in the 1830s. From 1794, the alternative term 'line of battle ship' was contracted (informally at first) to 'battle ship' or 'battleship'. [PAR] The sheer number of guns fired broadside meant a sail battleship could wreck any wooden enemy, holing her hull, knocking down masts, wrecking her rigging, and killing her crew. However, the effective range of the guns was as little as a few hundred yards, so the battle tactics of sailing ships depended in part on the wind. [PAR] The first major change to the ship of the line concept was the introduction of steam power as an auxiliary propulsion system. Steam power was gradually introduced to the navy in the first half of the 19th century, initially for small craft and later for frigates. The French Navy introduced steam to the line of battle with the 90-gun in 1850 —the first true steam battleship. Napoléon was armed as a conventional ship-of-the-line, but her steam engines could give her a speed of

North Carolina made the smallest per-capita contribution to the war of any state, as only 7,800 men joined the Continental Army under General George Washington; an additional 10,000 served in local militia units under such leaders as General Nathanael Greene. There was some military action, especially in 1780–81. Many Carolinian frontiersmen had moved west over the mountains, into the Washington District (later known as Tennessee), but in 1789, following the Revolution, the state was persuaded to relinquish its claim to the western lands. It ceded them to the national government so that the Northwest Territory could be organized and managed nationally.

[DOC] [TLE] Pope Francis named Time's ‘Person of the Year 2013’ — RT NewsPope Francis named Time's ‘Person of the Year 2013’ — RT News [PAR] Tags Religion , Mass media , USA , Vatican [PAR] The iconic title goes each year to the one chosen by prominent US magazine Time as the individual who had the most influence on the world and news over the year. [PAR] "For pulling the papacy out of the palace and into the streets, for committing the world’s largest church to confronting its deepest needs and for balancing judgment with mercy, Pope Francis is TIME's 2013 Person of the Year," as managing editor, Nancy Gibbs, explained the magazine’s choice. [PAR] “He took the name of a humble saint and then called for a church of healing.” [PAR] “The first non-European pope in 1,200 years is poised to transform a place that measures change by the century,” Time wrote about the Argentinian, who outran former NSA contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden, who took second place. [PAR] The Vatican reacted to the news saying that the pontiff is not looking for fame. [PAR] “The Holy Father is not looking to become famous or to receive honors. But if the choice of Person of the Year helps spread the message of the gospel - a message of God's love for everyone - he will certainly be happy about that" said Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, as cited by “Today”. [PAR] Following Pope Benedict’s resignation, the first retirement from the holy post in 600 years, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina became the first Latin American pope in history. [PAR] Pope Francis has been at the center of public attention since he took office in March, showing more openness, compared to the previous pontiffs. [PAR] Since then he has shaped the global conversation on religion, urging the Church to be more welcoming, less cold and dogmatic. [PAR] First, the Pope criticized the Church which had "locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules" and should not be so prone to condemn. [PAR] Then the pontiff, called the people’s pope, caused surprise with his words about women and abortions due to poverty or rape, saying “who can remain unmoved before such painful situations?" [PAR] Or by his attitude towards homosexuality: ‘If a homosexual person is of good will and is in search of God, I am no one to judge.” [PAR] These words contrast starkly the position of his predecessor, Benedict, who fiercely condemned gay rights, calling same-sex relationships an intrinsic disorder. [PAR] The people appreciate Pope Francis, who turns 77 next Tuesday, for his modesty. For instance, he refused to use the traditional Mercedes previous popes drove, in favor of a 1984 Renault 4 economy car. Meanwhile, as a cardinal he is said to have used the subway. [PAR] His public acts of humility, from washing the feet of criminals to embracing a disfigured man, have reshaped the attitudes of many people to the Catholic Church. [PAR] "What makes this Pope so important is the speed with which he has captured the imaginations of millions who had given up on hoping for the church at all," Time said in its cover story. [PAR] Cowardly TIME choses Pope over #Snowden for person of the year (as per #Assange in 2010 who won the popular vote) http://t.co/c3QEeVTE8y [PAR] — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) December 11, 2013 [PAR] Following Snowden in the top 5 were gay rights activist Edith Windsor, who took her fight all the way to the US Supreme Court and won, securing marriage for same-sex couples in the United States at a federal level.

(WIRED) -- Barnes & Noble's Kindle competitor may have been the worst-kept secret since balloon boy's disastrous appearance on CNN last week.
Barnes & Noble has unveiled an e-reader called "Nook," which will sell for $260 in November.
But the advance hype doesn't seem to have hurt the launch of the Nook, an impressive-looking $260 device that will go head-to-head with Amazon.com's Kindle, currently the most successful product in a small but growing market for e-book readers.
Basic details of the Nook were published by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday following leaked images that appeared on Gizmodo last week. And Barnes & Noble leaked product details hours before reporters filed into Pier 60 in Manhattan for the announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
"Simply following the leader is not in our DNA," said Barnes & Noble president William Lynch.
Indeed, Barnes & Noble's $260 Nook device differs from the Kindle in a number of ways. Most notably, it shares: A feature called LendMe lets users borrow certain books (depending on the publisher's wishes), the same way readers have traditionally traded paper books. The Nook's color touchscreen allows you to navigate titles and enter search terms using a virtual keyboard that goes dark once you're reading.
The Nook will be available for pre-order starting Tuesday night for $260 at Nook.com, and will ship in November. It has a 6-inch, "paper-like," 16-level grayscale display that supports up to five fonts and various font sizes. It can read a user's PDFs, as well as the 1 million-plus books, magazines and newspapers available in Barnes & Noble's eBook store.
The device connects to the Barnes & Noble eBook store using a free 3G AT&T connection, but lacks a web browser "because those are clumsy" on eReaders, Lynch says. It includes support for the ePub eBook format, FictionWise and PDF, as well as RSS feeds from the internet. However, you can't subscribe to any old RSS feed. Instead, Barnes & Noble selects certain feeds to convert to ePub, then sends them out each morning for a fee that varies by publisher.
Like Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook lets you highlight and annotate content. But Nook's battery life is 10 days, while the Kindle keeps you reading for 14 -- even though at 11.2 ounces the Nook weighs an ounce more.
Unlike the Kindle, the Nook has a Wi-Fi radio that customers will be able to use at Barnes & Noble's more than 700 physical locations and 600 college stores in 50 states. The current version does not allow connection to Wi-Fi networks outside the stores, but will allow Nook owners to digitally flip through books while they're in a Barnes & Noble store and read free content.
The Nook runs Android OS, which Lynch said "works really well for navigating on this small device." However, at this point, third-party developers cannot develop apps for the device, and no version of the reader for generic Android devices is available.
The device packs enough memory to hold up to 1,500 books (2 GB), with a microSD slot that lets you add up to 16 GB more. In addition to e-books in the three formats mentioned above, the device supports a user's pictures and MP3s (it includes a speaker and headphone jack, but there's no text-to-speech engine). Another nice touch: The virtual bookmark feature called Reading Now lets you pick up where you left off on the Nook or on more than 100 other devices with support for Barnes & Noble's eBook store.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the Nook and the Kindle is cosmetic. The Nook, with color icons, a wide selection of designer cases and color-customizable back panel, looks like a fashionista compared to the more bookish Kindle.

The tide-predicting machine invented by Sir William Thomson in 1872 was of great utility to navigation in shallow waters. It used a system of pulleys and wires to automatically calculate predicted tide levels for a set period at a particular location.

Throughout history there have been a series of lingua francas in the area to allow for better communication. The dialects spoken in Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo have taken on this role historically. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Mandarin, which is not mutually intelligible with any of the local dialects, has been promoted as the standard language of communication throughout China. As a result, most of the population now can, to some degree, speak and comprehend Mandarin and can code-switch when necessary. A majority of the population educated since 1978 can speak Mandarin. Urban residents tend to be more fluent in Mandarin than rural people. Nevertheless, a Zhejiang accent is detectable in almost everyone from the area communicating in Mandarin, and the home dialect remains an important part of the everyday lives and cultural identities of most Zhejiang residents.

(CNN) -- Farrah Fawcett, the actress known worldwide for her beauty and her role on "Charlie's Angels," is reportedly seriously ill and may be close to death after a long battle with cancer.
Farrah Fawcett, seen here in 2004, is featured in a documentary about her fight with cancer.
A documentary, which airs Friday night on NBC, will feature an intimate look at her life since being diagnosed with the disease.
On Thursday, Larry King talked with Candy Spelling, a close friend of Fawcett. Her husband, the late Aaron Spelling, produced "Charlie's Angels." Spelling talks about her relationship with Fawcett and why she believes she did the documentary.
The following is an edited version of the interview.
Larry King: Did you first meet Farrah in connection with getting that part?
Candy Spelling: Yes. Actually, she did a lot of small, little parts in the movies for Aaron starting around 1973. So it's been, my God, 36, 37 years since I, you know, first met her. Watch Candy Spelling talk about her friendship with Farrah Fawcett »
King: So you knew her well during all that time?
Spelling: Yes.
King: Did you know about her getting picked to be on "Charlie's Angels?"
Spelling: I remember. She did some small roles. I think the one that Aaron really decided he was really going to use her was this American beauty pageant and, also, it was like "Murder on Flight 502." He did the 90-minute versions.
King: Movie of the week?
Spelling: Right. Movie of the weeks.
King: When did you know she had cancer?
Spelling: I found out about a year -- when I first heard, I don't know if it was a year or two years ago when we first heard, and I contacted her. I hadn't talked to her in a while. She said, "I'm going to be all right, Candy. Everything is going to be all right."
King: Why do you think, Candy, she did the documentary?
Spelling: I think that she wanted to give other people courage that, you know, are fighting this kind of thing. I know how, you know, devastating the press, you know, was with Aaron when he had cancer. And it's just so difficult. And I mean, you know, it's hard to have a private life at that point.
King: Why do the tabloids get so tough on someone in such pain?
Spelling: It's news. It's kind of a sad thing. I'm always so sorry to see it. But, you know, people believe what they see, and a lot of times, we don't know how true it really is.

The plan stated that the following numbers of species of different groups had been recorded from Egypt: algae (1483 species), animals (about 15,000 species of which more than 10,000 were insects), fungi (more than 627 species), monera (319 species), plants (2426 species), protozoans (371 species). For some major groups, for example lichen-forming fungi and nematode worms, the number was not known. Apart from small and well-studied groups like amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and reptiles, the many of those numbers are likely to increase as further species are recorded from Egypt. For the fungi, including lichen-forming species, for example, subsequent work has shown that over 2200 species have been recorded from Egypt, and the final figure of all fungi actually occurring in the country is expected to be much higher.
