Home Dept under fire over Sec 506
While the scenario in the colleges for girls in the city is just like any other day at college, the colleges for boys, on the other hand, present a different sight. At the SGGS College for Women, Sector 26, one has to look for signs of the forthcoming elections. There is no campaigning and there are no final candidates as yet. We have a quiet affair here when it comes to elections. The students have been asked to submit their nominations and we are still waiting, said the Principal, Mrs Harinderjit Kaur. The SGGS College, Sector 26, is a riot of colours. Buntings, posters, pamphlets, banners, are all there. With party stickers on every shirt sleeve, students seem to have decided whom to vote for. There are two main contending parties here. The Khalsa College Students Union (KCSU) which is fielding Harjit Singh Baidwan, alias Bholu, as its presidential candidate.
Bride Dies In Husband's Arms During Dance
Fellow teachers provided the wedding gown, the flowers and decorations. One of them, an ordained minister, performed the ceremony. As the minister friend put it, the wedding "was perfect for her." As for her husband, he consoles himself by reading a list of "101 Reasons Why I Love You" she gave him their first Christmas together. No. 98 is especially difficult: "You're the one I want to grow old with." .
Acne And Rosacea Getting You Down? Laser, Light And Cosmetic Treatments Give Patients A Much Needed Boost
It is estimated that approximately 50 million people in the United States alone are affected by acne vulgaris, and another 14 million Americans experience the redness, flushing and pronounced blood vessels associated with rosacea. While there are no cures for these persistent skin conditions, dermatologists are broadening their treatment options to include laser, light and cosmetic therapies that are proving effective in managing these conditions and improving patient satisfaction.
Speaking at the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologist Jenny J. Kim, MD, PhD, FAAD, assistant professor of medicine and dermatology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), in Los Angeles, Calif., discussed the latest approaches for treating acne, acne scarring and rosacea with laser and light therapies by themselves, in combination with each other or with cosmetic treatments, such as fillers.
Armed assailant robs HRC’s Dupont Circle store Gay
An unidentified gunman on Jan. 18 bound and blind-folded an employee at the Human Rights Campaign’s Action Center and Store near Dupont Circle after hitting him repeatedly in the head with a pistol and forcing him to turn over money from a cash register and safe, according to a D.C. police report. Sgt. Tania Bell, supervisor of the police department’s Gay & Lesbian Liaison Unit (GLLU), which is investigating the incident, said the crime appears to be a random holdup and no evidence exists to indicate the gunman targeted the store because it is a gay business. "There’s no evidence to suggest this was a hate crime," Bell said. No other employees or customers were present at the HRC store at 1633 Connecticut Ave., N.W., at the time the gunman entered about 7 p.m., on Friday, Jan.
about this blog
Flowers we like to grow should have names that please us and its a joy to find them honoring men and women who've excelled in the world of gardens. Weeds, on the other hand, should have names we loathe, so we can go about their destruction with more zest and vim. The process of weeding is more sanative if you name the pests after your own special enemies and pet abominations. Don't bother to learn whether your new intruder is pigweed or horse nettle. Just christen it in honor of some neighbor who you find difficult to 'love as thyself' and, while abolishing it, you also may vent your spleen." -- Julian Meade, Bouquets and Bitters, 1940.***** ***** *****Here's one of those lesser gardening moments: last evening, as I was tucking a few seedlings of white lobelia into this window box, it tried to re-enact the tale of the SS Poseidon, as it tumbled from its bracket and nearly capsized.
European firms face Y2K legal chaos in wake of Good Samaritan Act
A US law could turn the wrath of Y2K litigation on European companies. President Clinton signed the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act - dubbed the Good Samaritan Act - into law on 19 October. The act grants US companies limited immunity from Y2K litigation. Businesses will be able to nominate certain past statements about their Y2K preparedness and the compliance of their products, which can't then be used against the company in a future lawsuit. European companies need to move fast to take advantage of the Act though. Those who do business with US companies or operate in the US must nominate any qualifying statements by 3 December. "The implications for US businesses are colossal, absolutely colossal," explained Tony Lewis, chief executive of the CSSA.
Liverpool 5-0 Luton Town
Tom Hicks and George Gillett may be acting up like a pair of clowns, but something needs to change on the pitch now, if not sooner, if only because Jamie Carragher deserves better on his 500th appearance for the club. This is a strong team Liverpool have put out tonight; you'd be forgiven for thinking after three-and-a-half years the penny has finally dropped: Itandje, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise, Pennant, Alonso, Gerrard, Babel, Crouch, Torres.
Subs: Martin, Kewell, Aurelio, Kuyt, Lucas. Luton Town meanwhile are doing what they can, but Don Hutchison in central defence, for goodness sake; they may as well field a wardrobe and be done with it: Brill, Jackson, Don Hutchison for the love of sweet baby Moses, Keane, Goodall, Bell, Robinson, Spring, Currie, Andrew, Talbot.
