| SAD-BJP rally chokes city roads
The SAD-BJP rally at Matka Chowk this afternoon resulted in traffic bottlenecks, jams and police barricades on major roads in the city which left commuters harassed. The commuters were left stranded for hours at several places, including Madhya Marg and roads around Sectors 15, 24, 23, 22 and 21. Students returning home via these routes were delayed by over an hour. Over 1,000 police personnel, including additional force from the Punjab Police, had been deployed on duty. In an unsuccessful attempt to control the situation, the police cordoned off several roads along Sectors 16, 17 and 23. In fact, the police itself started diverting vehicles used by the demonstrators towards the wrong-side. The vehicles coming from Madhya Marg were made to enter Sector 17 from the Hotel Taj side.
Timeline for Corzine's tenure
Nov. 8 Corzine, then a U.S. senator, defeats Republican businessman Doug Forrester in the most expensive, and one of the nastiest, gubernatorial races in state history. Both men largely funded their own campaigns. Corzine spent $39.1 million to Forrester's $19.1 million and won 53 percent to 43 percent. Dec. 7 Corzine announces he will name then-Rep. Robert Menendez, D-Hoboken, to finish his unexpired term in the U.S. Senate. Menendez, the first Hispanic Senator from New Jersey, was selected among a crowded field of congressmen and state lawmakers. Dec. 14 Corzine names veteran federal prosecutor Stuart Rabner to be his chief counsel. Widely praised on ethics from both parties, Rabner would later become attorney general, then chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
Businessman Behind Bid For SPL Club Exposed As Pimp
A TYCOON trying to buy an SPL football club can today be exposed as a sleazy pimp luring women into prostitution. Neil MacGregor, 35, claims to be a wealthy ex-SAS officer with a bodyguard firm protecting Hollywood stars. Last week he launched a multi-million pound bid for Inverness Caledonian Thistle after a similar approach to Third Division Elgin City flopped. But we can reveal that MacGregor operates an internet escort agency hiring Scots girls to sell sex in the US porn industry. He was snared after trying to groom a Sunday Mail reporter, posing as a recruit, for a life of vice. Our investigator, who provided a fake CV and photo, agreed to meet MacGregor at Crieff Hydro Hotel in Perthshire but he fled after being confronted.
Latino vote Nevada's wild card
John Edwards have been in and out of the state since the New Hampshire primary. "The buzz here is that a lot of Hispanics are going to probably caucus for Hillary Clinton and not Barack Obama," said University of Las Vegas political science professor David Damore. "That said, both sides have done a .
Symposium: The Day After
These moves were aimed at ensuring that Israel is capable of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. There is no reason to assume that Israel's efforts in this regard have come to naught. And so it is strange that Olmert should be signaling that it has. The defeatism signaled by Olmert's reported instructions to his cabinet members is deleterious to Israel's international position. It lends the impression of Israeli impotence and helplessness. Second, it lends credence to the view that there is something basically acceptable about the Iranian nuclear project. When Israel, which Iran has announced its intention to destroy, says that it is considering how it will contend with a nuclear-armed Iran, it tells the world that it is acceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons.

We even have a new full-time HSA support person in each high school. It's crazy. Watch the BoE wrestle with setting the academic calendar sometime, as they try to accommodate everyone while entire months are pre-empted by the state for their tests. I've said it before: I signed on to be a teacher, not a test prep technician. The more experience I have in the field of education, the less satisfied I am with traditional tests as a means to measure what students have learned. It isn't just because of my own personal observation, although every year shows me more about how differently each child learns; we also have increasingly more information about the way the human brain functions. Tests have their place. In Latin, I need to know how much vocabulary a student has memorized, and tests are an easy way to find out.
Campaigns scramble for support in Nevada's new caucus territory
LAS VEGAS — The fight for top-billing in Saturday's Nevada Democratic presidential caucus has become much like its model in Iowa: an hour-by-hour test of who has the best organization. But unlike Iowa, Nevada never really has done this before, and not on the scale an early caucus date requires. No one knows for sure what the best organization should look like in a state with two major population centers and vast stretches of desert in between. .
Salmond ditches election pledge on police
Alex Salmond has admitted his government will not fulfil its election promise to recruit 1000 extra police officers, prompting accusations that he had betrayed the people of Scotland. The First Minister and Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill have been under intense pressure from opponents and leaders of rank-and-file officers to honour a manifesto commitment to raise the policing complement by 1000, a pledge Mr Salmond also made to the Scottish Police Federation conference when he cited a £78m fund. Earlier this month, The Herald revealed ministers had asked a senior civil servant to find efficiency savings to help them meet their promise, which led to a rebuttal from the administration. Yesterday, however, during rowdy exchanges at the Scottish Parliament, the First Minister said his government would instead boost numbers through recruiting some new officers, but also by persuading some not to take early retirement and by freeing up others from desk duties.
