This time of the year, India’s capital Delhi is engulfed by a mantle of mist and fog. The days are pleasantly warm and the cool nights smell of sulphur and burning wood. My local friend tells me that it’s wedding season so the fireworks and crackers add their distinctive flavour to the air. I’m also told it is the ‘party and going out season’ and the best time to visit if you want to go wedding-spotting or hang out with Delhi’s bright, beautiful and rich.
Delhi is a crazy and chaotic city – one of the most congested, biggest, busiest places I have ever been to. Even the labyrinth of hutongs - the narrow alleyways around the Forbidden City in Beijing – seem clean and organised after a trip to the Old Delhi.
The medieval bazaars sell everything you might wish to buy from clothes and jewellery to hairy and bloody goats’ heads and sticky sweets. The endless traffic of rickshaws, motorbikes, and wheelbarrows piled up with goods to unimaginable heights make it hard for a foreign visitor to navigate around.
But try to look past Old Delhi’s dirt and chaos and it will charm you with its madness, very unique character and such hidden gems as Karim’s eatery or the | perfume and incense shop, Gulab Singh Johrimal.
Some of Delhi’s biggest tourist attractions and the legacy to its Islamic past are also here. The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan moved the capital from Agra to Old Delhi or Shahjahanabad as it was known in the 17th century. He commissioned the building of the magnificent Red Fort as his home, and the biggest mosque in the country | [

WHITEHORSE — The Yukon Party has been declared the winner in the Canadian territory’s Tuesday election, forming a majority government in the region.
The party is the first to win three terms since party politics was introduced in the 1970s in the Yukon.
A party needs 10 seats to form a majority out of the territory’s 19 ridings. Just after 12:30 ET, the Yukon Party was elected in 11 ridings. Premier Darrell Pasloski also won in his Mountainview riding.
The NDP trailed behind with six elected seats while the Liberals claimed two.
At dissolution, the Yukon Party had 11 seats while the Liberals had five and the NDP held one. NDP representative Steve Cardiff passed away in July leaving one seat vacant and another seat | was added in the fall election.
More than 20,000 residents were eligible to vote for the first time in Yukon history.
The government already accomplished the rare feat of lasting for a full five year mandate — a difficult task in the small legislature where party defections are common and a few disaffected representatives can push a government into a minority.

Copa Signs Minor League Contract With Angels
July 11, 2011
AMHERST, Mass. - Former Minuteman first baseman, Peter Copa, who graduated from UMass this spring, signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim late last week. Copa will begin his professional career in the Rookie-level Arizona League as a member of the Arizona League Angels.
Copa is the second Minuteman to sign a professional contract this summer. Fellow UMass infielder Matt Gedman was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft with the 21st pick of the 45th round, 1,372nd overall. It marks the first time since 1995 that multiple UMass position players have joined the professional ranks in the same year. With Copa's signing, he becomes the 38th player of head coach Mike Stone's 24-year tenure at UMass to ink a pro deal.
Copa, who played in the 37th Annual NEIBA All-Star Game this June, finished his time at UMass with the finest season of his collegiate career. He hit a career-best.351 (42-for-151) in 2011, good for | second on the squad, while leading the Minutemen in home runs (11) and RBI (42), both career highs, as well. The first baseman was second on the team with 42 runs scored and paced UMass in stolen bases (14-for-16) and walks.
Copa led the Atlantic 10 in both slugging percentage (.649) and on base percentage (.484) this year. His on base percentage also landed him in the UMass record books as the eighth highest on the school's single season list. In addition to his 11 homers, which tied him | [

About the Book
Larry Corbett, a film actor from Scotland, sets off on a trip. He aims to resolve the question of whether acting is something he wants to continue doing. Also in the back of his mind is a wish to find somewhere to settle down. He begins by travelling from Scotland’s Orkney Isles, his nominal base, to Glasgow, where he visits an uncle. While there he receives a letter from a friend and former colleague, Serenity Yunus. They have been out of touch since Serenity was caught up in civil conflict in her native Turkey. She now resides in England with her husband and children.
Larry writes her from Edinburgh. His time there and, afterwards, in London spur recollections of his years in fringe theatre and the breakthrough that led him into the film world. He also recalls his initial encounter with the films of the Turkish director Enis Mert. In Spain he completes a minor film role and | recalls the part he played in a Mert-written project. Further travels there and in the Americas bring back memories of the three films he went on to make with Mert. In between times he goes on with the writing of a book. He proceeds to Turkey via Asia only to discover that his beloved mentor has died. Larry concludes his trip with a visit to Serenity, now separated from her husband. She praises his writing. Aware he has no home as such, she invites him to stay with her and the children.

Why is it called Throwing?
Origin of “To throw”: Old Engilish – twist, to turn, to propel. Some potters describe their work at the potters wheel as turning. The Old English word thrawan from which to throw comes, means to twist or turn. Going back even farther, the Indo-European root *ter- means to rub, rub by twisting, twist, turn. The German word drehen, a direct relative of to throw, means turn and is used in German for throwing. Because the | activity of forming pots on the wheel has not changed since Old English times, the word throw has retained its original meaning in the language of pottery but has developed a completely different meaning in everyday usage.

CINCINNATI — Twelve years after voting problems delayed the 2000 presidential election results, Ohio — possibly the most pivotal state on the political map — sits at the center of a dispute that once again could put the outcome in limbo for weeks.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey and New York, damage from Hurricane Sandy sent election officials scrambling to create makeshift polling stations and to limit what could be long lines and confusion for hundreds of thousands of people.
New Jersey officials said they will allow voters displaced from their home as a result of the storm to cast ballots by email or fax. But they also created a legal, logistical and political tempest by not requiring displaced people to provide a paper backup to prevent vote fraud.

The Atlanta Floods Put Six Flags Over Georgia Under Water
The recent unforgiving rains have caused havok in Atlanta over the past few days. The heavy rains have resulted in floods, mudslides, tons of trapped residents that have had to be rescued, and unfortunately a handful of deaths. This sounds like a complete disaster for the area. The rains are supposed to be lighter today, so hopefully things will start to improve down there.

NEW YORK — The clock struck midnight, and the NHL turned into another sports league closed for business.
Unable to reach agreement on a new labor deal, the National Hockey League locked out its players at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, the third major pro sport to impose a work stoppage in the last 18 months, behind the NFL and NBA.
The action also marks the fourth shutdown for the NHL since 1992, including a year-long dispute that forced the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season when the league successfully held out for a salary cap.
That fight ended with the latest collective bargaining agreement, and when it ended Commissioner Gary Bettman followed through on his longstanding pledge to lock out the players if no deal was in place.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the shutdown was in effect. The union said it would have no comment.
The sides were so far apart in their discussions that they didn't even meet face-to-face for negotiations on Saturday.
The core issue is money — how to split a $3.3 billion pot of revenue. The owners want to decrease the percentage of hockey-related revenue that goes to players, | while the union wants a guarantee that players annually get at least the $1.8 billion in salaries paid out last season.
Long before the clock struck 12, the lockout was considered a foregone conclusion.

A POLITICAL COMMENT ON...
California’s Battle over Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards Marcy Gallo
Late last year, California’s request to adopt and enforce its own greenhouse gas emissions standards for new motor vehicles was denied by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Stephen Johnson. This action is a continuation of a posture by an administration that is failing to enable actions to address climate change.
Under the Clean Air Act, federal law generally trumps state law in setting regulations on emissions from new motor vehicles. States can request a waiver of this pre-emption if they show extraordinary conditions, however. The California Air Resources Board originally requested such a waiver in September 2005, but EPA stated they would not review the request until after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Massachusetts v. EPA.
That occurred in April 2007, when the Supreme Court ruled against EPA, stating that under the Clean Air Act, the agency does have the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as an air | pollutant if it finds these emissions could endanger public health or welfare. Since then, however, EPA has not moved forward on the endangerment finding required by the court — much to the dismay of scientists and policymakers who recognize that steps must be taken sooner rather than later to avoid a climatic tipping point.

AT&T presents check for $3,000 to ACO; volunteers play Santa during annual distribution party
Allen Community Outreach volunteers Rodney Fabre, Don Strain, Pam Gaiter and Burton Gilliam prepare to pack another vehicle with donated items Monday morning at the First United Methodist Church in Allen. A total of 550 teens, seniors and children were 'adopted' by members of the community during this year's holiday program. / Monique Oaks / Staff photo
Christmas came early this year for some Allen-area | Santa Clauses.
On Monday morning, a crew of about 25 volunteers - aided by walkie talkies, coded numbers and assigned pickup times - hauled labeled bags and gifts into vehicles during Allen Community Outreach's annual Holiday Adoption Program distribution party.
Also during the event, AT&T donated $3,000 to ACO to help with gift purchases.
Among the volunteers spreading holiday cheer were such notables as state Rep.-elect Jeff Leach and actor Burton Gilliam, said Stacy Cooper, ACO director of development. Other participants included Sharon Mayer, Allen-Fair | [

VoIP and Cellular Mobile: Blurring the Lines
Pushing IP voice calls across cellular data networks: It's technically feasible, but the business model has always been tricky, with carriers ever anxious to maintain the financially rewarding model of billing voice and data as distinct plans.
Now that distinction may be breaking down, with one top tier carrier poised to allow the use of VoIP via GSM, or voice within its data network. A third-party partner would bill voice and data use as a single plan, with the carrier | taking a share of the usage fee in exchange for the use of its network.
Such is the deal announced recently by VoX Communications Corp. (a subsidiary of Pervasip Corp.) and Unified Technologies Group (UTGI), who say they will team with a leading mobile network, as yet unnamed.
In the big picture, the model being established here could potentially change the rules of the game, pushing carriers to look beyond the traditional separation of voice and data, said VoX founder and CIO Mark Richards.

The necklace really "cascades" down your chest with pearls and alternating faux diamonds and is lightweight and comfortable. It practically reaches my waistine and so is very striking and noticeable. I don't think the photos on the TSC website do it as much justice as it deserves. With the earrings, it makea a beautiful, tasteful set - nice over cashmere sweaters or over a dinner jacket or even inside a white crisp shirt. Will be wearable for a long, long time I suspect.

Mark Webber says Red Bull recovered well from losing the first three hours of running on the opening day of Formula 1 winter testing when parts were late arriving.
Fog delayed the flight on which the final components for the new RB8 were being transported, forcing Webber to watch from the sidelines for much of the morning. He managed 53 laps once he was able to join the session, and went fourth fastest, 0.8sec behind pacesetter | Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus.
"It's never part of the plan to give up three hours," Webber admitted. "We're an incredibly well-organized team and very, very well-prepared, and that's something that is very unusual for us. But sometimes we can't control Mother Nature. We risked a tight schedule and we paid the price - that can happen sometimes."
He thinks Red Bull was able to make up for lost time once the car was ready.

Via Ann Friedman, Alicia Rebensdorf considers the fembot phenomenon from a feminist perspective, with special attention to the Bionic Woman remake, the Heinecken fembot bots, and a new campaign for Svedka Vodka that I haven’t actually seen. It’s an interesting essay, but I think that in some ways it suffers from a failure to put fembots within the larger cultural category of representations of robots more generally.
From the R.U.R., the robot has almost universally been a locus of fear and anxiety rather than fantasy... the male robot’s strength and endurance is a threat, not wish-fulfillment. Typically, the crux of the matter is that the robots betray their masters and take over the world (The Matrix, The Terminator, etc.) and robot stories that don’t follow this scheme are so intensely against the grain that you get things like the movie version of I, Robot where, unable | to fit Asimov’s actual stories into our archetypes, they turn it into yet another robot rebellion tale.
I’m not sure if the right thing to say is that the fembot is a fantasy that serves as a counterpoint to the (presumptively male) robot, or else if consideration | [

After two weeks of training, the light nine to twelve knot winds were unexpected and caught a number of sailors in all the fleets by surprise. Jennifer SPALDING (CAN) led defending champion Krystal WEIR (AUS), Charlotte DOBSON (GBR) and European Champion STEYAERT at the first mark. The young French star went furthest right on the second windward leg to take a lead which she held to the finish. Followed by SPALDING in second and WEIR third.
In the slightly lighter | winds of the second race STEYAERT took places on both downwind legs to recover from twelfth at the first mark to third at the finish behind Gea JUTENS (NED) and Petra NIEMANN (GER), who both held the same positions through out the race.
In the second women's fleet Sarah BLANCK (AUS) had a similar day to STEYAERT coming from fourth at the first mark to finish first and then pulling through to grab a fifth in the second race behind race winner Karin SODERSTROM (SWE).

2. LITERATURE ON VOLUNTEERING
There are numerous theories to explain who engages in voluntary work. The Dominant Status model originally developed by Lemon et al. (1972) is frequently cited. According to this model, participation in voluntary activity is associated with a ‘dominant status’ position in society. That is, people who are highly educated and who have a high status job are likely to have a higher propensity of volunteering than people who do not (Lemon et al., 1972). Bales (1996) also comments that volunteering is associated with higher levels of education, income, and belonging to the dominant ethnic group. In Australia, level of educational attainment has also been found to be | positively associated with the propensity to volunteer (Evans and Kelly, 2000). This association has been found in a number of studies (for example, Goss, 1999; Zwart and Perez, 1999; Davis Smith, 1998). However, while education level is associated with the propensity to volunteer, it | [

The chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona, Patrick Cunningham (left), was issued a subpoena last week by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He was supposed to offer insight into his role in the Obama administration program that sent thousands of high-powered weapons — many of which have been used in murders, including several implicated in the slayings of federal agents — to violent drug cartels in Mexico.
But while Cunningham maintains his innocence, he will not be cooperating with the congressional investigation, his lawyer said in a letter to Congress. "As a professional courtesy, and to avoid needless preparation by the Committee and its staff for a deposition next week, I am writing to advise you that my client is going to assert his constitutional privilege not to be compelled to be a witness against himself," wrote Cunningham’s attorney in the response.
Cunningham’s lawyers said their client was simply caught in the middle of a battle between the executive and legislative branches. The highest U.S. criminal prosecutor in Arizona also claimed through his attorney that he was unfairly being made into a scapegoat by the Obama administration. But the full extent of Cunningham’s involvement remains unclear.
Cunningham was originally scheduled to testify before the House | Committee voluntarily last week. After he refused, however, Congress issued a subpoena forcing him to attend. Congressmen appeared fed up with the administration’s efforts to stifle the investigation.

Witnesses: Commander killed by fellow Libya rebels
Saturday, July 30, 2011
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — The Libyan rebels’ military commander was killed by his comrades while in custody after he was arrested by the opposition’s leadership on suspicion of treason, witnesses said Friday, in a sign of disarray that posed a major setback for the movement battling Moammar Gadhafi.
The slaying of Abdel-Fattah Younis raised fear and uncertainty in Benghazi, the de facto rebel capital. Thousands marched behind his coffin, wrapped in the rebels’ tricolor flag, to the graveyard for his burial, chanting he was a martyr “beloved by God.” Troops fired a military salute as the coffin arrived, and angry and grieving supporters fired wildly into the air with automatic weapons.
At the graveside, Younis’ son, Ashraf, broke down, crying and screaming as they lowered the body into the ground and — in | a startling and risky display in a city that was the first to shed Gadhafi’s rule nearly six months ago — pleaded hysterically for the return of the Libyan leader to bring stability.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has a well established role in the Convention
process in communicating scientific information to the Convention through its regular assessment
reports and its wide range of special reports and technical papers. Although it does not carry out
its own research, it plays a key role in assessing the information from worldwide climate research in
peer-reviewed literature, journals, books and other sources. It also has an important function in
identifying priority needs for further research activities.
Research on climate and issues connected with climate change is carried out nationally, regionally
and internationally. Internationally, climate-related research is coordinated by a variety of
international programmes and organizations; some of the major ones being the International Council
for Science (ICSU), the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), the International
Geosphere–Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global
Environmental Change (IHDP), DIVERSITAS. In addition, a number of regional networks promote and
support climate-relevant research activities, including activities to enhance research capacity in
the regions, such as the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) and the
Asia-Pacific Network | for Global Change Research (APN).
The UNFCCC secretariat works in close collaboration with a variety of international and regional
research programmes and organizations active in climate change-related research and facilitates

I just finished the book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua. It is unlike any parenting book I have ever read. Chua is the daughter of Chinese immigrants and has three sisters; she and two of her sisters have multiple Harvard and Yale degrees and her youngest sister, who has Downs Syndrome, holds two international special olympic medals. You get the picture. She comes from a driven family, a family with a strong work ethic, a family that practiced “Chinese” parenting.
When Chua refers to herself as a Chinese mother, she is over generalizing but the main theme is the idea of the virtuous cycle. That through hard work you become competent at something and that instills self confidence and the desire to learn and do more. Competence and confidence go hand in hand. Her method does not nurture, respect individuality, or allow children to make any decisions themselves. It is a tyrannical form of parenting, one that produces virtuoso piano players (her | eldest daughter preformed at Carnegie Hall at age 14) and straight A students who are accomplished violin players (her youngest, who ended up “rebelling” from her).

Funding difficulties for air force’s C-130sDate: 3 October 2011
LIMITED funding was adversely affecting the operations of the South African Air Force, Carlo Gagiano, chief of the air force, said in Pretoria on Friday.
Inadequate funding has derailed plans to replace the 48- year old fleet of seven C-130 four- engine turbo transport aircraft with an upgraded C-130-J model that would cost a total of R7,4bn — funds the military do not have.
The average cost of a C-130 aircraft is R1bn, which excludes servicing and maintenance. Military spending accounts for 1,2% of gross domestic product for which the air force has to compete with other arms of the defence force.
"The fact is worldwide this economic situation has got a huge effect on the military because where can you cut (funding)? But the reality is the moment you cut (funding) the | next moment you are needed as was very clear with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s campaign in Libya," Lt- Gen Gagiano said.

Chivas USA's Moreno: There’s plenty of blame to go around
CARSON, Calif. – The 2012 season has been one to forget for Chivas USA.
Problems arose from every corner of the squad, condemning Chivas to life as a last-place squad in the Western Conference.
“There’s plenty of blame to go around,” forward Alejandro Moreno said. “When it rains this hard, there’s no umbrella that can cover all of us. We all get wet. From top to bottom, I think we’re all quite responsible for what’s gone on and it would be foolish to try to turn our backs on it.”
Moreno is one of several players on the squad who find themselves in a similar position: a veteran who has rotated in and out of the starting lineup, unable to help stem the disappointment.
Perhaps Moreno has not had many opportunities to make a difference in matches. More often than not, he has not been in the starting lineup (16 starts) and on other occasions, he hasn't dressed at all. But when he’s had the chance to make his mark, as with everyone else on the roster, it hasn’t been enough.

Queen Latifah can't stop till she gets enough! The Grammy Award winning actress recently crafted a film production deal with Dipset's own Cam'Ron—and now she's adding Will Smith to her rolodex. The Jersey born-and-bred leader of the Flavor Unit announced Monday that she'll partner with Smith's Overbrook Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television to produce a new syndicated talk show for 2013.
The deal was spearheaded by Latifah's close friend, and Flavor Unit co-founder, Shakim Compere and Overbrook's Miguel Melendez. Both men will join the Overbrook trio of James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Will Smith as executive producers. Latifah is expected to join an already packed pool of talent that is likely to include Steve Harvey, Katie Couric, and Anderson Cooper. While she's not the first woman to turn from a movie acting career to the talk show couch—there's no reason to think she won't be | just as successful!
But if we were to take a bet on if audiences are more excited to see The Queen Latifah Show or Joyful Noise with Dolly Parton—we'd put a thousand racks on the former. While this may be a career left-turn for Latifah, she also seems remarkably well suited for the job. What do you think of this transition for The Queen?

Two Physicians Sue Bank, Pension Firm Over Madoff Losses
When it came to his retirement fund, the physician from Easton thought he was playing it smart by investing solely in bonds and an "ultra-conservative" investment fund managed by Bernard Madoff.
Then he brought in his brother. And his two daughters, whom he'd lectured about building nest eggs, even while they were in college. It was not until 22 years later — last December — that Levinson learned he'd | been duped.
He was among a group of Fairfield County doctors who invested with Madoff, the once esteemed fund manager now accused of running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme to defraud investors.
In an effort to recoup some of their losses, Levinson and another doctor have filed suit against Westport National Bank, custodian of the account with Madoff, and Westport-based PSCC Services Inc., the pension consulting firm that recommended Madoff's fund to them.

We’ve often wished Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would start pranking the press by dressing the same, given that they’re virtually identical despite technically being fraternal. On Wednesday at J. Mendel, we got our wish. The pint-sized designers — we seem to be at the point where they’ve pushed “actress” way down on their resumes — perched in the front row clad in matching and deeply fashion-y ensembles: black clothes, black coats, giant black shades, and their signature slightly mottled blonde hair. They leaned the same way to talk to the same people, smiled the same half-grins whenever something amused them, and generally made it impossible to discern which was which (our tell is usually the eyebrows, but the shades quickly nixed that strategy). “Is that one Mary-Kate?” we heard one photographer ask. “Yes,” said his friend. “Wait, no. Wait, yes. No?” We never settled it; although they talked plenty to each other and their seatmates during the show, the Olsens arrived when the house was full and fled in a | New York minute once the lights came up. Our true hope is that one of them was secretly Elizabeth, in what would’ve been the greatest prank of all. Otherwise, maybe they should just start wearing custom-made jerseys.

Miettinen & Byfuglien the latest Winnipeg Jets in sick bay
The Winnipeg Jets list of walking wounded has grown by a couple of members. Right-winger Antti Miettinen saw his comeback stopped after one brief shift, while defenceman Dustin Byfuglien went into the boards awkwardly during the third period and was unable to finish the game. Jets head coach Claude Noel said after the 4-2 win over the New Jersey Devils that Byfuglien was day-to-day. “It’s nothing to do with the one previous to this,” said Noel. “It’s just a new thing.” Miettinen’s rotten luck continued as he replaced Kyle Wellwood and suited up for his first game of the season. After a faceoff in the defensive zone, Miettinen (also listed as day-to-day) took a shot by Ilya K | ovalchuk in an “uncomfortable area” — ending his day 17 seconds in. “It was the shortest shift in a comeback ever,” said Noel. “It’s tough because the guy has battled to get in the lineup and then down he goes again.”

Standards-Test Group Lists Tech Guidelines
One of the two consortia designing tests for the Common Core State Standards has released new guidance on the minimum technology standards states will need to meet to give those tests, beginning in 2014-15.
The Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers said the guidance, unveiled Dec. 21, is meant to provide direction to states and districts on the extent to which current technology meets testing standards, or whether upgrades will be required.
It includes details on | test security, allowable devices, and operating-system requirements.
Earlier this month, the other group leading states toward the development of tests to match the common core, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, released similar technology requirements and recommendations for 2014-15.

Understanding the different options available on a car and how those options are packaged together can be tricky even for an experienced car buyer.
This is one area that car salesmen across the board indicated could be used by consumers to get more bang for their buck. The bigger the package, the more savings on the car.
The best way to see if you are getting the best deal possible and not just being drawn in by all the flash of those shiny, sporty wheels and the four-wheel drive is to make a list beforehand of the items you can't live without.
Next, compare the cost of the car you want with just those must-have features versus the cost of the car with a package that may include the features you most want plus a few others. If the price is similar, it might be worth buying | an upgraded package.
No. 1: Dealer holdback
Edmunds.com defines dealer holdback as a "percentage of either the MSRP or invoice price of a new vehicle (depending on the manufacturer) that is repaid to the dealer by the manufacturer."

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- The monthlong absence of ailing President Hugo Chavez has elicited prayers, an emotional street rally and heated political debate. Amid the tense wait for news from Chavez's hospital in Cuba, Venezuelans are also turning to one of their most prized national attributes: a biting, irreverent sense of humor.

The history of decorated trucks in Pakistan is long and colorful. In a land of more than 175 million people, nearly all goods are delivered by truck, and just about every truck has an array of ornate adornments and brightly painted images of religious scenes, families, movie stars and political sayings.
Jamal J. Elias, the world's foremost expert on Pakistani truck art, teaches at the University of Pennsylvania. He is professor and chair of the University’s Religious Studies Department with a secondary appointment in the Department of South Asia Studies. He has written a book on the decorated trucks, On Wings of Diesel: Trucks, Identity and Culture in Pakistan (Oxford: Oneworld Publications, 2011)
The American Institute of Pakistan Studies has selected On Wings of Diesel to receive its Best Senior Book Prize, in part for the depth and accuracy of the research, integration of Pakistan studies more fully into vibrant disciplinary and interdisciplinary discussions and clarity and elegance of writing.
Elias takes readers on a beautifully illustrated trip through Pakistan’s truck-decoration | culture. The book includes interviews with short- and long-haul truckers who discuss their motivations for painting their vehicles and the symbolism of the images and materials used. An accomplished amateur photographer, Elias illustrates the book with his own photographic work, beautiful images of the "mechanical dinosaurs adorned in full courtship colors."

Monsanto's 'VT Double Pro' corn is a pest-resistant GM maize variety that has been approved for cultivation in 20 countries including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Honduras, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines and South Africa, a Monsanto official said.
Under Pakistani law, GM maize varieties must undergo small-scale regulatory trials before larger multi-location field trials can be approved. Monsanto Pakistan conducted two crop trials in December 2010 and February 2011 at its research farm near Lahore.
Permission for the next round of trials has now been granted by the National Biosafety Committee (NBC)*, despite continued controversy over the initial trials, which became mired in a spat between the scientists responsible for their oversight | .
In 2011, a field monitoring sub-committee of the NBC's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was assigned to submit a report on the initial, together with recommendations, to the TAC — which is authorised to take a final decision on the outcome.
However in June last year, the sub-committee's report on the trials was criticised by senior Pakistani scientists, who told Pakistan's largest English language daily, The News International, that the sub-committee report had been prepared by Monsanto Pakistan, and that the trials may not have met all the necessary requirements.

"I gotta do my own thing," sings fifteen-year-old Solange Knowles on the title track of her debut album, Solo Star, due in stores October 22nd.

Solange, the younger sister of Destiny's Child's Beyonce Knowles, wrote most of the songs and also co-produced three tracks for her upcoming album.
"The name of my album is called Solo Star, so I didn't think it would be appropriate to have a million dozen people on there," she explains.

A Menlo Park, California couple decided to go against the grain when making an addition to their home, as they decided to dig down to create more space instead of building up, according to Palo Alto Weekly.
