ARLINGTON, Texas -- Ezekiel Elliott celebrated a short touchdown run by jumping into an oversized Salvation Army red kettle and the Dallas Cowboys closed in on home-field advantage in the playoffs with a 26-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.The Cowboys (12-2) bounced back after their franchise-record 11-game winning streak ended, hanging on after what looked to be a festive night following Elliotts antics turned tense when Jameis Winston rallied the Bucs from a 17-3 deficit to a 20-17 lead.Making his debut in the Sunday night spotlight, Winston threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns but had four turnovers, including an interception that led to Dan Baileys 38-yard field goal that gave Dallas a 23-20 lead early in the fourth quarter.Tampa Bay (8-6) had its five-game winning streak snapped and fell a game behind Atlanta in the NFC South. Dallas stayed two games ahead of the New York Giants in the NFC East and needs a win without any help to clinch the home field throughout the NFC playoffs.Elliott, the NFLs rushing leader, had a career-high 159 yards, including a 42-yard run to set up Baileys fourth field goal for the six-point lead.Fellow rookie Dak Prescott bounced back from his worst game as a pro, going 32 of 36 for 279 yards a week after completing less than 50 percent of his passes in a 10-7 loss to the New York Giants.Elliott had NFL career rushing leader and former Dallas star Emmitt Smith and plenty of other people laughing when he jumped into the kettle and disappeared when he crouched down following a 2-yard touchdown in the second quarter. He drew a 15-yard penalty.TITANS 19, CHIEFS 17KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Ryan Succop kicked a 53-yard field goal into the wind as time expired to give Tennessee the victory over Kansas on a frigid afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium.Succop, who spent the first part of his career with Kansas City, came up short on his first try at the winner, but Chiefs coach Andy Reid had called a timeout just before the snap. Given a second chance, Succop knocked it through with a couple feet to spare as the Titans poured off the bench to celebrate.The Titans rallied from a 17-7 hole, and Derrick Henrys second touchdown got Tennessee (8-6) within 17-16 with just over three minutes left. But Titans coach Mike Mularkey went for the 2-point conversion and the lead. Marcus Mariota was pressured immediately and his pass never reached the end zone.But the Chiefs (10-4), trying to clinch a playoff spot, were unable to run out the clock and Tennessee got the ball back with a minute left. With no timeouts, Mariota calmly found Rishard Matthews for 19 yards and Delanie Walker twice to set up Succops field-goal attempt.Tennessee is tied for the AFC South lead with Houston.RAIDERS 19, CHARGERS 16SAN DIEGO -- Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 44-yard field goal with 2:40 left, his fourth of the game, and the Raiders beat the Chargers in the Relocation Bowl to clinch a playoff berth for the first time since 2002.Playing before what looked like a home crowd at 70,000-seat Qualcomm Stadium, the visiting Raiders (11-3) earned a playoff nod on the same field where they made their last postseason appearance, an embarrassing 48-21 loss to Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl on Jan. 26, 2003.There was a surreal atmosphere to the game, which might be the Chargers second-to-last in San Diego. Team chairman Dean Spanos seems almost certain to move the Bolts (5-9) to the Los Angeles area after failing to get a big public subsidy to help him replace aging Qualcomm Stadium.The Raiders could be on the move, too, with owner Mark Davis eyeing Las Vegas, although theyd still play in Oakland until a new stadium is built in Sin City.TEXANS 21, JAGUARS 20HOUSTON -- Tom Savage threw for 260 yards after Brock Osweiler was benched in the second quarter, and Lamar Miller scored Houstons only with less than three minutes remaining.Jacksonville fired coach Gus Bradley after the game.The win was Houstons 10th straight in the division and left the Texans (8-6) tied with Tennessee for the AFC South lead. But Houston controls its playoff future with a 5-0 mark in the division.Osweiler threw interceptions on consecutive drives in the second quarter to help Jacksonville build a 13-0 lead. Coach Bill OBrien had insisted all season he hadnt thought about benching Osweiler, but hed seen enough after that and brought in Savage. The move was met with a huge ovation from the home crowd that had been booing Osweiler for most of the day.The Jaguars got the ball back twice after falling behind, but they failed on a fourth-down conversion the first time and Blake Bortles was intercepted the second time. Bortles threw for 92 yards and ran for a touchdown for the Jaguars (2-12), who dropped their ninth straight.PATRIOTS 16, BRONCOS 3DENVER -- Tom Brady overcame a slow start to lead the Patriots to a rare win in Denver, dealing a crushing blow to the Broncos playoff hopes.Brady missed his first six passes for just the second time in his career; the first was way back on Oct. 12, 2003, against the Giants. But he came back to lead the Patriots (12-2) to a record eighth consecutive division title and a first-round bye.Brady returned to the site of his worst beating, a 20-18 loss in the AFC championship 11 months ago when he was hit a career-high 23 times. This time, he brought a power run game and a much-improved O-line with him.The result was just his third win in Denver in 10 tries, and it was the Broncos hopes of defending their Super Bowl title that took a beating. The Broncos (8-6) lost for the third time in four games and were supplanted by the Dolphins for the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC race with two weeks remaining.PACKERS 30, BEARS 27CHICAGO -- Aaron Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson with a 60-yard pass to set up Mason Crosbys 32-yard field goal as time expired in one of the coldest games ever played in Chicago.Wide receiver-turned-running back Ty Montgomery ran for a career-high 162 yards and two touchdowns, and the Packers (8-6) earned their fourth straight victory despite blowing a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter.They also moved ahead of Minnesota for second place in the NFC North and pulled within a game of division leader Detroit.The Bears (3-11) tied it on a field goal by Connor Barth with 1:19 left. The Packers took over at their 27, and on third down at the 26, Rodgers unleashed a deep pass down the middle of the field to Nelson, who got behind CreVon LeBlanc.With no timeouts, the Packers downed the ball before Crosby booted his winner.The game-time temperature was 11 degrees with a minus-4 wind chill. Chicago hosted the Packers in 3-degree temperature and a minus-15 wind chill -- the lowest ever for a Bears home game -- on Dec. 18, 1983. The Bears coldest home game, temperature-wise, was against Green Bay on Dec. 22, 2008, when it was 2 degrees with a minus-13 wind chill.The Packers tied the NFLs oldest rivalry for the first time since 1933 at 94-94-6.BILLS 33, BROWNS 13ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The bumbling Browns are two losses short of becoming the NFLs second team to go 0-16 in one season.LeSean McCoy had a season-best 153 yards rushing and scored twice, and the Bills kept their slim playoff hopes alive.The Browns dropped to 0-14, matching the second-worst start to a season set by the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 1980 New Orleans Saints. The 2008 Detroit Lions , meanwhile, are the NFLs only team to go without a win in a 16-game season.Cleveland has also lost 17 straight dating to last year, moving into a tie with the St. Louis Rams (2008-09) and Houston Oilers (1982-83) for the leagues sixth-longest skid. The Browns have now gone a calendar year since their last win, a 24-10 victory over San Francisco on Dec. 13, 2015.The Browns have been so bad they havent had a lead in 17-plus quarters, dating to a 7-6 edge in the third quarter of a 28-7 loss at Baltimore on Nov. 10.STEELERS 24, BENGALS 20CINCINNATI -- Chris Boswell tied the club record with six field goals, and Ben Roethlisberger threw a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.The Steelers (9-5) have won five straight and can clinch the AFC North title with a victory at home next Sunday against Baltimore (8-6). As a first step, they rallied from a 14-point deficit -- kick by kick -- and eliminated the defending champions at a place where theyre right at home.They beat the Bengals (5-8-1) in the opening round of the playoffs 18-16 last January, getting the winning field goal with the help of penalties on Vontaze Burfict and Adam Pacman Jones. Burfict and Jones each got a personal foul on Sunday -- Pittsburghs Marcus Gilbert had one as well -- as the animosity continued.So did the Steelers dominance at Paul Brown Stadium, where theyve won four in a row.Boswell accounted for Pittsburghs first 15 points with kicks from 45, 49, 49, 40, 49 and 30 yards.In the end, there was another Bengals meltdown. They had penalties on four consecutive plays -- including Pat Sims personal foul -- that set up Roethlisbergers 24-yard touchdown pass to Eli Rogers for a 24-20 lead.RAVENS 27, EAGLES 26BALTIMORE -- The Ravens survived a desperate comeback bid by the Eagles, stopping a 2-point conversion with 4 seconds left.On a wet and windy day, the Ravens maintained control of their playoff possibilities. If Baltimore defeats Pittsburgh on Christmas Day and Cincinnati in the regular-season finale, the Ravens will enter the postseason as AFC North champions.Baltimore (8-6) led 27-17 with just over six minutes left when Joe Flacco threw an interception inside the Philadelphia 10 to give the Eagles (5-9) another chance.Rookie Carson Wentz directed a drive that produced a field goal with 2:22 remaining.The Eagles got the ball back at their 41 with 1:39 to go. A 24-yard completion to Zach Ertz and a pass interference call against rookie Tavon Young set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Wentz that got Philadelphia within a point.First-year coach Doug Pederson went for the win. Wentz threw over the middle to Jordan Matthews, who couldnt get his hands on a ball that appeared to be tipped.Philadelphia has lost five straight and seven of eight.GIANTS 17, LIONS 6EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Odell Beckham Jr. made another one-hand touchdown catch to delight replay fanatics, the defense turned in another stifling performance and the Giants inched closer to their first playoff berth since 2011.NFC North-leading Detroit (9-5) had won five in a row.The win was the eighth in nine games for the Giants (10-4) and it gave them their best record through 14 games since 2008, when they were 11-3.The formula was the one the team has followed in Ben McAdoos first season: just enough offense and a tough stingy, pass-rushing defense. That unit has come up with big back-to-back performances against two division leaders in Dallas (11-2) and Detroit, giving up 13 total points.Eli Manning (20 of 28 for 201 yards) threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard on a 75-yard opening drive. He then iced the game with a 4-yarder that Beckham caught with his left hand and then pranced into the end zone for a 11-point lead with 5:20 to play.FALCONS 41, 49ERS 13ATLANTA -- Devonta Freeman ran for three touchdowns, Matt Ryan passed for two more and the Falcons clinched their first winning season since 2012.Freeman rushed for 139 yards and capped his big day with a 34-yard touchdown run. Ryan completed 17 of 23 passes for 286 yards, including a pair of 9-yard scoring tosses to Taylor Gabriel and Austin Hooper.Aldrick Robinson, stepping up with Atlanta star Julio Jones missing his second straight game with a toe injury, had a career-best 111 yards on four receptions.The Falcons (9-5) made sure they didnt overlook the 49ers (1-13), moving a step closer to getting back to the playoffs after a three-season absence.The 49ers have totally fallen apart since that trip to the Super Bowl. They extended a franchise record with their 13th straight loss, keeping the heat on first-year coach Chip Kelly.SAINTS 48, CARDINALS 41GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Drew Brees snapped out of a two-game funk to throw for 389 yards and four touchdowns in the highest-scoring game in the NFL this season. Brees, who had no TDs and six interceptions his previous two games, completed 37 of 48 with no picks.Brandin Cooks caught seven passes for a career-best 186 yards for the Saints (6-8), including touchdown plays of 65 and 45 yards.David Johnson rushed for 53 yards and caught four passes for 55 yards for Arizona (5-8-1). The second-year back became the first player in NFL history to have at least 100 yards from scrimmage in the first 14 games of a season.Johnson rushed for two touchdowns, giving him 17 TDs this season and 30 in the first 30 games as a pro.The teams amassed 913 yards, 488 by New Orleans, 425 by Arizona, which finished 4-3-1 at home.COLTS 31, VIKINGS 6MINNEAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns, Robert Turbin rushed for two touchdowns, Mike Adams forced a fumble and added an interception for the Colts (7-7).Frank Gore rushed for 101 yards and Indianapolis won on the road for the fourth time this season, dominating a Vikings defense that has been among the best in the league.Adrian Peterson had just 22 yards on six carries and lost a fumble in his first game back from a knee injury for the Vikings (7-7).The Vikings believed they needed to win the final three games to make the playoffs. Sam Bradford threw for 291 yards with one interception and one lost fumble for Minnesota.After a critical home loss to Houston last week, the Colts trail the Texans and Titans by one game in the AFC South.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Rasmus Ristolainen Jersey .

New York Jets Buffalo Bills
Wilson, Jets' defense stun Allen, Bills in 20-17 victory
By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. - Nov. 06, 2022 05:35 PM EST
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh watches his team during the first half of an NFL football game against the Buffalo Bills, Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022, in East Rutherford, N.J. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The sky was falling for the New York Jets against the Buffalo Bills.
They were losing a close game to their AFC East rivals in the second half — and an overhead video camera malfunctioned, disrupting a promising drive and appearing to be a poorly timed omen.
Then, the Jets pulled off a picture-perfect comeback.
"We're too young to flinch," coach Robert Saleh said after New York's stunning 20-17 victory Sunday.
The defense shut down Josh Allen, Zach Wilson threw a touchdown pass and Greg Zuerlein kicked a go-ahead 28-yard field goal with 1:43 remaining to send the Jets (6-3) into their bye-week break a half-game behind the division-leading Bills (6-2).
"I know a lot of people are going to be surprised, right?" Saleh said. "I don't think there's a person surprised in the locker room."
With the game tied at 17, the Jets got the ball at their own 4 and 7:53 left — and they hit the ground running.
After marching downfield to the Bills 18 on eight straight running plays while draining the clock against a weary Buffalo defense, Wilson connected with Denzel Mims for 12 yards on third-and-5. But the drive stalled when Wilson was sacked by Damar Hamlin on third down and the Jets settled for Zuerlein's field goal.
Allen got the ball back, but couldn't manage much.
A holding call on Dion Dawkins wiped out a long pass to Stefon Diggs. Two plays later, Bryce Huff had a strip-sack of Allen that Buffalo recovered at its 14.
After an incompletion to Diggs, Allen launched a deep desperation pass to Gabe Davis — but rookie Sauce Gardner knocked the ball away and sealed the unlikely victory for the Jets. It also ended the Bills' four-game winning streak.
"We expected to win this game," Wilson said.
Wilson finished 18 of 25 for 154 yards and a TD pass to James Robinson, who scored for the first time since being acquired last week from Jacksonville. Michael Carter had a 6-yard touchdown run.
But the defense did its job against Allen, intercepting him twice and sacking him five times. Allen was 18 of 34 for 205 yards — held without a TD pass for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Atlanta — and the INTs by Gardner and Jordan Whitehead.
Allen ran for 86 yards and two touchdowns, but the Bills fell to 0-2 against division opponents.
"It's tough to win in this league when you're playing a good team and your quarterback plays like (crap)," Allen said. "Made some bad decisions tonight. Really cost our team."
Allen was seen flexing his right hand after the strip-sack.
"There's some slight pain," he said. "I'll get through it."
Things took a strange turn when Wilson and the Jets' offense were marching downfield on their opening drive of the second half. A SkyCam camera whirled out of control and delayed the play on the field for 12 minutes until a camera operator was able to corral it.
"It only happens to the Jets," a smiling Saleh said.
Added Wilson: "I've never seen that before."
The teams resumed play, but the Jets were immediately called for a false start penalty. Three plays later, Wilson was sacked by Von Miller and his fumble recovered by A.J. Epenesa to give Buffalo the ball.
The sack gave Miller 122 1/2 for his career, surpassing Simeon Rice (122) for 20th place on the NFL's list.
But then New York's defense stiffened, with Quinnen Williams sacking Allen and Gardner coming up with an interception to give the Jets the ball at the Bills 19. Wilson's 7-yard pass to Robinson put the Jets ahead 17-14 with 4:03 left in the third quarter.
Tyler Bass' 51-yard field goal tied it for Buffalo with 13:33 remaining.
"We had opportunities overall and we shot ourselves in the foot," Bills coach Sean McDermott said. "Give credit where credit is due. They made more plays than we did. In some ways, we beat ourselves."
After Allen was intercepted by Whitehead on the Bills' third play from scrimmage, Buffalo converted three third-down plays on its next drive, including an 11-yard run by Allen that was initially ruled a touchdown before video review showed he was short of the goal line. On the next play, the Bills quarterback pushed forward to give Buffalo a 7-0 lead.
Allen's second touchdown run came with 6:30 left in the first half on a 36-yard scamper — the longest TD run of his career.
Carter's 6-yard run up the middle to cut New York's deficit to 14-10 late in the second quarter.
The Bills had a chance to add to their lead, but Bass' 55-yard attempt was wide right as time expired in the half.
Bills: Edge rusher Greg Rousseau left in the first half with an ankle injury. ... CB Kaiir Elam injured an ankle in the third quarter. ... CB Tre'Davious White was activated from injured reserve this week and didn't appear on Buffalo's injury report, but was inactive. ... LB Matt Milano (oblique) sat out after being questionable.
Jets: DT Sheldon Rankins injured his left elbow in the first quarter and didn't return.
Bills: Return home to take on the Minnesota Vikings next Sunday.
Jets: Head into their bye-week break before a rematch with the AFC East rival Patriots in New England on Nov. 20.

Close Quarters
By MARLEY BROWN
In February 2017, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which owns and operates Jefferson's home, Monticello, uncovered and began reconstructing what they believe were the personal quarters of Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman and longtime companion to the founding father. The work is part of the Mountaintop Project, a multiyear effort to peel back early twentieth-century modernization at Monticello and reveal the experience of enslaved people who lived and worked there.
Excavating in the mansion's south pavilion, archaeologists have found rooms that housed enslaved domestic servants, including Hemings, who was the half-sister of Jefferson's wife Martha, and, almost certainly, mother to several of his children. Ambitious even for a man of Jefferson's stature, Monticello's original kitchen included French-style stew stoves, which allowed cooks, including Hemings' brother James, who was trained in Paris during Jefferson's time as minister to France, to prepare continental haute cuisine.
"How this is all going to be interpreted is a work in progress," says Fraser Neiman, director of archaeology at Monticello. "We are trying to get folks to think about Sally and James Hemings as people with full lives, rather than just ciphers to Thomas Jefferson."

Dialogue pops in Jonas and Barry

The opportunity to see Canada's most-produced playwright, Norm Foster, in one of his own plays is must-see theatre by any stretch of the imagination.
At Neptune's mainstage until Feb. 11, Jonas and Barry In the Home is an appropriately minimalist production that delivers maximum humour with a dash of sentimentality. The result is a fully realized vision of Foster's extraordinary dramatic finesse. With only three actors in play — and virtually no theatrical flash such as fancy lighting, projection or complex sound design — Foster's mastery of everyday conflict takes centre stage.
The playwright's specialty of concentrating on the struggle of the average Joe and Josephine as they wrestle with disappointing lives, broken marriages and deflated dreams is on full display in Jonas and Barry In the Home. While the story deals with diminished lives in an assisted-care facility, the humour and humanity is up front.
Two elderly men — the Barry and Jonas of the title — meet as relatively new arrivals in the home. Barry's daughter Rosie is the third character, an employee of the facility who organizes recreation activities and acts as a "lifestyle" director. Foster's dialogue doesn't just snap, crackle and sparkle. It probes, digs in and sometimes reveals the characters as edgy provocateurs. There's a great deal of discussion about withered body parts, elderly love and sex, and repeated references to incontinence. The exchanges are frank, funny and at times daringly subversive. And yet the ultimate message of Jonas and Barry In the Home is surprisingly uplifting. Foster uses his characters to face down many of the fears and cliches we hold about aging, urging people to live their lives to the fullest while we can. It's a remarkable piece of writing, more proof that Norm Foster is easily the Canadian equivalent of America's Neil Simon or Britain's Alan Ayckbourn.
There's a terrific sense of balance in this particular production of Jonas and Barry In the Home, despite the fact that the playwright is in the cast. The three actors square off in the single, unchanging set with spare lighting and only a smattering of ring-a-ding-ding-era songs (Sinatra, Bobby Darin) to cover scene changes.
Director Derek Ritschel does a great job milking some of Foster's more ribald humour by letting some running jokes run on until the humour dangles into the territory of the absurd. Spiced by a couple of genuinely dramatic scenes, the play comes off as a gentle but moving examination of contemporary life, punctuated by a great deal of laughter.
David Nairn, as Barry, and Erin MacKinnon, as Rosie, get to bookend the play while Foster — as Jonas — provides a more theatrical entry and exit. Jonas' role as an amiable blowhard, former actor and flamboyant ladies' man is inhabited by Foster with rich flourishes and a curious, staccato delivery. Nairn's curmudgeonly and timorous Barry comes to life only once the play has reached its climax. And yet the to-and-fro between Jonas and Barry provides the heart of the drama and its most poetic moments. MacKinnon's Rosie gives a grounding counterpoint as the younger and more realistic character whose own struggles emerge toward the end of the play. MacKinnon also responds nicely to the excess of male bluster, marking the play with a slightly sharper edge.
Beckie Morris' monumental set design places the action on the back veranda of a vaguely institutional building that blends several beige colour schemes into one reassuring visuality. Vandy Simpson seems to have the most fun of anyone in the creative team with her lux costume changes, from Barry's initial dumpy housecoat/trackpant combo to his flashy suit-and-tie transformation to Jonas' onstage entry as a Noel Coward-style fop complete with a cream-coloured hat and jacket. And while Neptune's full staging force was toned down for this production, it certainly didn't make Jonas and Barry In the Home any less enjoyable.
Judging by the laughter generated in the audience on opening night, I'd say that Norm Foster's reign as Canada's most popular playwright is likely to keep on running for some time to come.

Nissan Email Trail Casts New Light on the Takedown of Carlos Ghosn
sonrteam June 18, 2020
There is already some proof to support his claim. The effort by top Nissan Motor Co. executives to dethrone one of the most admired figures in the automobile industry started about a year before Ghosn 's arrest in late 2018 for suspected financial fraud, according to people familiar with what occurred and previously unacknowledged internal correspondence. Carlos Ghosn has always said that he was set up.
The effort was driven primarily by opposition to the push for greater integration of the former chairman between the Japanese carmaker and long-time alliance partner Renault SA, the new evidence discloses. A chain of email exchanges dating back to February 2018, corroborated by persons who asked not to be identified talking about sensitive information, paints a picture of an orderly move to remove a powerful executive.
At the forefront of such talks was Hari Nada, who ran the office of Nissan's chief executive and later signed a deal with prosecutors to testify against Ghosn.
Ghosn has said he is innocent of the four financial misconduct and breach of trust charges. Regarded by Japan to be a foreign criminal, Ghosn refused to speak on this story through a spokesperson.
Through combining with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, the tension between the Japanese and French partners inevitably derailed Renault's 2019 offer for more significant size and stymied coordination over policy and new products. Nissan's management was in crisis and shrinking profitability, hit by an aging portfolio and rising costs.
Nissan has long believed that the decision to expel Ghosn turned on allegations that his income and other financial transgressions had been underreported by Tokyo prosecutors. But documents and views of individuals acquainted with what has transpired suggest that a strong community of insiders regarded his detention and prosecution as a chance to revamp Nissan's global automaker partnership with top shareholder Renault on conditions that became more beneficial.
Japan insists it will try to pursue justice for Ghosn, but it does not have an extradition deal with Lebanon, so it is impossible that he would enter a Japanese courtroom.

Indonesia Loses a Human Rights Voice
Our Correspondent May 19, 2008
Todung Mulya Lubis, Indonesia's most prominent human-rights voice, Friday was disbarred from practicing law by the Jakarta Regional Honor Board after another prominent lawyer, Hotman Paris Hutapea, filed a complaint against him for an ethics violation.
In a telephone interview with Asia Sentinel, Mulya Lubis called the decision "totally baseless and unlawful" and said he has little hope of winning an appeal.
"For me this is a conspiracy of corrupt lawyers who feel troubled and disturbed by my stand to play by the rules and consistently fight against corruption," he said. "The judgment is outrageous and has killed my life, violated my right to practice law, and defied common sense and justice. I will appeal, but I am losing hope in the integrity of the Bar Association. The legal profession is rotten."
In 2002, Mulya Lubis said, he was asked by the Indonesia Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) to audit companies that had been hit by the economic crisis of 1997-1998 and were unable to pay their debts to the government. Under the agreement to represent IBRA, he was not allowed from taking on any practice in conflict with Indonesia's Department of Finance and IBRA for two years. That time, he said, lapsed in 2004.
However, Hotman Paris Hutapea's charge, he said, was based on a 2007 civil claim filed against one of the companies he had audited, however. The Department of Finance, he said, was one of the defendants in that case and he was accused of conflict of interest as a party to the case. However, he said, the Department of Finance did not object and in fact issued a letter that there was no conflict.
If the disbarment stands, it would remove one of Indonesia's strongest campaigners against corruption from the court system. It again calls into question the integrity of Indonesia's judiciary, considered among the most corrupt in the world. Overall, Transparency International awarded Indonesia a score of 2.3 out of 10 for integrity, ranking it 143rd in a world of 179 countries. Despite pledges by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to rid the country of corruption, he has made little progress.
In January, Jimly Asshiddiqie, president of the country's fledgling Constitutional Court, established in 2003, told a meeting of foreign reporters that the entire judicial system needs to be overhauled from top to bottom, saying that legal uncertainty and perceived graft in the judicial system are among the biggest complaints lodged by foreign institutional investors operating in the country, according to Reuters, the result of an entrenched system of corruption as a result of Suharto's rule.
Mulya Lubis has been on the defense side of some of Indonesia's highest-profile human rights and freedom of the press cases, including representing Time Magazine against a defamation suit by Suharto, the late strongman who ruled Indonesia for 31 years, from 1967 to 1998. Time reported at the time of Suharto's downfall that the Indonesian leader had amassed US$15 billion in stolen wealth. Suharto, who died in January, was awarded US$106 million in damages by Indonesia's Supreme Court. The case is under appeal by Time.
A founding member and senior partner of the firm of Lubis Santosa and Maulana, he is is also one of Indonesia's top corporate lawyers, representing such multinationals as CSFB, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley and many others in their attempts to reclaim hundreds of millions of dollars from defaulting companies in the wake of the 1997-1998 financial crisis. He is also representing Temasek Holdings in its squabble with the government over its telecommunications contract.
A 1974 graduate of the Faculty of Law University of Indonesia, he also attended law courses at the Institute of American and International Law in Dallas,Texas as well as holding master's at law degrees from the University of California, Berkeley and Harvard University.
Mulya Lubis was a tireless campaigner and activist in opposing human rights abuses by the Suharto regime before it fell from power. He has continued to fight for constitutional reform in the wake of Suharto's downfall as Indonesia gingerly turned toward democracy, and has consistently criticised the corruption of Indonesia's courts, which is legendary.
In February, for instance, Hutomo "Tommy" Mandala Putra Suharto, the son of the late strongman, won a US$550,000 countersuit filed in a civil case that had accused him of corruption. Tommy served only five years of a 15-year prison term after being convicted in 2002 of sending two hitmen to murder Supreme Court Justice Syafiuddin Kartasasmita, the judge who had earlier found him guilty of corruption.
Tommy is now the subject of another civil suit for more than US$400 million after prosecutors, acting for Indonesia's Finance Minister, alleged that the money, which was to be directed to pay off state loans to a car company had founded, PT Timor, had been instead diverted to European banks. However, there are few illusions that the money will ever be recovered.
Earlier, the Supreme Court also acquitted Akbar Tanjung, the former Golkar chief and speaker of the House of Representatives, in a graft case involving the misuse of state funds. That was seen as a major blow to any hopes of victory in the battle for reform of the judiciary.

Charli XCX laughs off bare boob 'wardrobe malfunction' during ARIA Awards: 'Congrats guys!'
Wardrobe malfunctions have nothing on Charli
While presenting an ARIA award to Justin Bieber and The KID LAROI, Charli XCX totally leaned into her wardrobe malfunction and turned it into a viral moment.
While virtually announcing the award for "best pop release," the "New Shapes" singer's little black dress gave out and resulted in the exposure of her chest. Posting the hilarious outtake video to Instagram over the weekend, Charli dryly captioned the video, "Congrats, guys!"
Right as the Crash artist said, "And the ARIA goes to The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber for 'Stay.' Well done, congratulations," the strap on Charli's shoulder practically popped, ultimately revealing her breast and causing her to burst into laughter.
A post shared by Charli (@charli_xcx)
As of now, the GRAMMY Award nominee is gearing up to release her fifth studio album, Crash, which follows her DIY project, How I'm Feeling Now, as well as preparing to embark on a world tour once her forthcoming album drops.
XCX told People that her new record is "the most polished thing that I've done."
"It is the start of a new era. It's one that I've been dying to do. It's the most pop record I've ever made. I'm completely giving my soul away with this record."
Charli added, "This album has been something that I've wanted to make for a couple of years now and I've been speaking about it and slowly piecing it together for a few years."
Crash arrives on March 18, 2022.

About Birth Control Pharmacist
The role of pharmacists in delivering contraceptive care is exploding!
Most pharmacists who will be providing contraceptive services are not experts in the field of family planning nor are they expected to be. As pharmacists specializing in family planning, we are here to support our colleagues in providing competent and evidence-based contraceptive care.
Birth Control Pharmacist provides education and training, implementation assistance, resources, and clinical updates to pharmacists prescribing contraception and key stakeholders, as well as leading and stimulating advocacy, research, and policy efforts to expand the role and realize the potential of pharmacists in reproductive health and justice. We also maintain the Birth Control Pharmacies site and directory for people across the country to find a participating pharmacy where they can access contraception directly from a pharmacist.
We hope pharmacists and pharmacy students will find the Birth Control Pharmacist's content useful. We look forward to your comments, suggestions, and questions!

Riot Games Expands Women-Only VCT Game Changers Programme To EMEA
By Bharat Kotwani
Following the triumphs of Cloud9 White, Dignitas Female, and Counter Logic Gaming Red in North America, the Valorant Champions Tour circuit now plans on to venture their Game Changers Initiative in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) Region.
The VCT Game Changers initiative is exclusively dedicated to female-led Valorant rosters and have further decided to launch their tournament circuits in the EMEA region, in a bid to bolster their chances towards the VCT powered events.
Earlier, VCT Game Changers was just a stand-alone event in North America with Cloud9 White having won both the iterations of the same. With $50,000 USD up for grabs, the winner takes away a lion's share of $20,000 from the total prize money.
Alexandra LePlante, Event Manager for Riot Games, stated,
We're very excited to announce the expansion of VCT Game Changers to the EMEA region, and we're proud of how this initiative has helped create a competitive ecosystem that is more representative of the diverse VALORANT community.
As said, Riot has now considered expanding their VCT Game Changers initiative into the EMEA region and would host three events, with the first one to be held on September 27 while the latter two scheduled in October and November.
EMEA VCT Game Changers schedule
Series #1 : September 27, 2021
Total Prize Pool : $20,000 USD
Series #2 : October 25-31, 2021
Series #3 : November 15-21, 2021
The eligibility to participate in the EMEA VCT Game Changers event would be, players should have attained at least Platinum 1 rank in the previous/ongoing act. The second iteration will see teams transitioning to a Co-ed group, consisting of at least 3 women on the active roster.
Vera Wienken, Riot Games' Brand Manager and leader of the VCT Game Changers EMEA initiative, also added,
Right now, the esports industry is suffering from a severe lack of female representation at the pro level. If we want to inspire more women to pursue their esports dreams, we need to take direct action to make these games more accessible and create a level playing field for them to enter in years to come. We want VCT Game Changers EMEA to be that stepping stone for women.

The international community and statebuilding (2012)
getting its act together?
in: Routledge studies in intervention and statebuilding
McMahon, Patrice C; Western, Jon W
This book brings together policymakers and academics to analyse the international community's performance in post-war statebuilding projects. In the past twenty years, statebuilding has emerged as a centerpiece of international efforts to stabilize violent conflicts. From the Balkans, to Iraq, to Afghanistan, it has become widely accepted that statebuilding-defined as the development of transparent and accountable political institutions, stable and sustainable economic structures, professional public administrations, and civilian-controlled security services-is essential to the long-term stability of post-conflict settlements. The International Community and Statebuilding brings together senior-level policymakers and academics in order to analyse the international community's performance in post-war statebuilding projects. Filling an important gap in the existing body of work on this topic, the contributors explore how international state builders have attempted to negotiate the intersections of multilateralism, competing strategic priorities and agendas, organizational complexity, and domestic politics. This book will be of much interest to students of statebuilding, peacebuilding, war and conflict studies, and International Relations in general.

Mapping National Anxieties : Thailand's Southern Conflict (2011)
Repository: norden (Nordic Council of Ministers / DIVA)
McCargo, Duncan
This latest book by award-winning researcher Duncan McCargo, one of the world's leading specialists on contemporary Thailand, builds on previous projects to elucidate new aspects of the intractable Southern conflict that has claimed more than 4500 lives since 2004. Mapping National Anxieties locates the insurgency in the context of Thailand's wider political conflicts, exploring the ambiguous relationships between the Thai state and organised religion, along with the recent resurgence of Buddhist chauvinism and nationalism. McCargo examines the way Islamic provincial councils have been drawn into the conflict, and scrutinises the special challenges the conflict has created for Thailand's media. Journalists have struggled to communicate a confusing story to an increasingly indifferent wider public. The book then moves beyond the crisis itself to look at ways forward, starting with the controversial National Reconciliation Commission that was established by the Thaksin Shinawatra government to propose peaceful options for reducing the violence. Another chapter explores how far Malay Muslims in Thailand's southern border provinces think of themselves as 'Thai', arguing that there is an important distinction between legal citizenship and informal understandings of what citizenship means and entails. Finally, McCargo invites readers to 'think the unthinkable' by imagining the possibility of autonomy for Thailand's deep South, and the implications for the country as a whole.

A tale of two cities in search of a new identity: The politics of heritage and modernisation in early 20th-century Izmir and Thessaloniki (2014)
Repository: University College London: UCL Discovery
Amygdalou, K
Recent research on multiple modernities and hybridity has brought under fruitful criticism earlier Eurocentric accounts that constructed non-Western countries as passive receivers of European modernism. It has revealed the complexity of interactions across geographies and brought into focus processes of cross-pollination and interpretation, and the dimension of power and agency. However the majority of studies examine the relationship between a 'Western' and a 'non-Western' context, hence missing issues of influence and antagonism among the neighbouring 'peripheral' actors themselves. Building on this stream of scholarship and in response to this vacuum, my research examines the multi-directional flow of ideas and people between Western Europe, Turkey and Greece in the early 20th century, within the framework of modernisation and nation-building. Through this 'triangulation', it aims to contribute to the critique of constructed categories such as East-West bipolarities, to uncover unexplored interactions, and to address the complexity of drawing geographical and temporal borders. The window through which this exploration takes place is the transition of two cities, Thessaloniki and Izmir, from the Ottoman context to two separate nation-states. Having lost their minority communities and having been devastated by fire in 1917 and 1922 respectively, they were redesigned by French and English architects. Drawing from reader theory and critical studies on nation-building and modernisation, and based on extensive archival research in Greece, Turkey and France, I explore the urbanist and architectural activity in these two cities during a period when identities were debated and (trans)formed as the Ottoman Empire was dissolved. The relevance of this research lies in its offering a new approach to the modern architectural history of Izmir and Thessaloniki, with wider implications in terms of historical analysis, in its uncovering of unvoiced aspects of the region's encounters with its past and with the deemed West, and in its contribution to a critical re-reading of our past and present today.
Divided Space, Divided Attitudes? Comparing the Republics of Moldova and Pridnestrovie (Transnistria) Using Simultaneous Surveys (2013)
Repository: The World Bank: Open Knowledge Repository (OKR)
Chamberlain-Creangă, Rebecca; Toal, Gerard; O'Loughlin, John
Has 20 years of separation between the Republics of Moldova and Pridnestrovie (Transnistria, PMR) generated a division in attitudes and beliefs in the two populations? Using near-simultaneous social scientific surveys from the summer of 2010 in the two republics, we measured four localized geopolitical divides: the local economies, historical memories, political legitimacies, and geopolitical orientations. Our findings challenge the notion that Moldova's territorial disunion has produced separate experiential and attitudinal worlds. Complicating geopolitical commentary that locates an East-West fault-line running through Moldova, we find that separateness has not created an attitudinal chasm, but prospects of ending the separation are not supported by the surveys.
Constructing Singapore : Elitism, Ethnicity and the Nation-Building Project (2011)
Barr, Michael D.; Skrbiš, Zlatko
Singapore has few natural resources but, in a relatively short history, its economic and social development and transformation are nothing short of remarkable. Today Singapore is by far the most successful exemplar of material development in Southeast Asia and it often finds itself the envy of developed countries. Furthermore over the last three or four decades the ruling party has presided over the formation of a thriving community of Singaporeans who love and are proud of their country. Nothing about these processes has been 'natural' in any sense of the word. Much of the country's investment in nation-building has in fact gone into the selection, training and formation of a ruling and administrative elite that reflects and will perpetuate its vision of the nation. The government ownership of the nation-building project, its micromanagement of everyday life and the role played by the elite are three fundamental elements in this complex and continuing process of construction of a natrion. The intense triangulation of these elements and the pace of change they produce make Singapore one of the most intriguing specimens of nation-building in the region. In this critical study of the politics of ethnicity and elitism in Singapore, Barr and Skrbiš look inside the supposedly 'meritocratic' system, from nursery school to university and beyond, that produces Singapore's political and administrative elite. Focusing on two processes - elite formation and elite selection - they give primary attention to the role that etho-racial ascription plays in these processes but also consider the input of personal connections, personal power, class and gender. The result is a study revealing much about how Singapore's elite-led nation-building project has reached its current state whereby a Singaporean version of Chinese ethno-nationalism has overwhelmed the discourse on national and Singaporean identity.

Nation-Building as Necessary Effort in Fragile States (2016)
Grotenhuis, René
Policies intended to bring stability to fragile states tend to focus almost exclusively on building institutions and systems to get governance right. Simply building the state is often seen as sufficient for making it stable and legitimate. But policies like these, René Grotenhuis shows in this book, ignore the question of what makes people belong to a nation-state, arguing that issues of identity, culture, and religion are crucial to creating the sense of belonging and social cohesion that a stable nation-state requires.

While Norwegian soldiers are known to have been competing in Nordic skiing since the 19th century, the first major competition in Nordic combined was held in 1892 in Oslo at the first Holmenkollen Ski Festival, an event still held annually. In Norway, popularity of the Holmenkollen, and Nordic combined in general, was great. It is still held in all Winter Olympics. There is currently no women's competition sanctioned by the FIS.
