Former Sooner guard Plumley enrolls at Lamar
Published: Wed, August 27, 2008 12:00 AM
Former Sooners guard Jenna Plumley is finished at Oklahoma.
The 5-foot-4 point guard from Red Rock is enrolled at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, Lamar head women's basketball coach Larry Tidwell told The Oklahoman Tuesday evening.
"I have the utmost respect for Sherri Coale and Oklahoma," Tidwell said. "But I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a kid from a nationally ranked program. I had to jump on that."
Plumley was suspended from the upcoming season at OU after she was arrested last month for allegedly trying to steal $34.65 worth of cosmetics from a Norman Wal-Mart. She retained her scholarship at OU and took classes in July.
Plumley started in all of OU's 31 games last season. She won't be eligible at Lamar until the 2009-2010 season and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Sir Charles Townshend (28. srpna 1725 Londýn – 4. září 1767 Londýn) byl britský státník ze šlechtického rodu Townshendů, mladší bratr maršála 1. markýze Townshenda. Byl dlouholetým poslancem a zastával vládní úřady, jako ministr financí krátce před svou smrtí prosadil tzv. Townshendovy zákony (Townshend Acts, 1767), které byly bezprostřední příčinou americké války za nezávislost.

Politická kariéra
Byl druhorozeným synem 3. vikomta Townshenda a mladším bratrem polního maršála 1. markýze Townshenda. Studoval v Nizozemsku a na univerzitě v Oxfordu a od roku 1747 až do smrti byl členem Dolní sněmovny. Brzy začal zastávat nižší úřady ve státní administrativě, byl lordem komisařem pro obchod a kolonie (1749–1754) a lordem admirality (1754–1755). V letech 1756–1761 zastával post pokladníka v úřadu nejvyššího komořího a v roce 1757 byl jmenován členem Tajné rady, zároveň byl státním sekretářem bez portfeje (1757–1761).

Po smrti 3. vévody z Marlborough dočasně spravoval úřad generálního polního zbrojmistra (1758–1759) a v letech 1761–1762 byl státním sekretářem války, poté prezidentem úřadu pro obchod a kolonie (1763). V Grenvillově vládě odmítl přijmout post prvního lorda admirality (1763), poté byl generálním intendantem armády (1765–1766) a nakonec ministrem financí (lord kancléř pokladu 1766–1767).

Ve znalostech v oblasti obchodu a finančnictví se mu ve své době málokdo vyrovnal, vynikal inteligencí a na půdě parlamentu proslul jako vynikajicí řečník. V politice však nebyl příliš zásadový, svou nestálostí a snahou udržet se ve vysokých úřadech získal řadu nepřátel. Ve funkci ministra financí vyvinul značnou aktivitu a zastínil i W. Pitta staršího, který tehdy čelil značné kritice a postupně rezignoval na veřejné dění. Charles Townshend těsně před svou předčasnou smrtí (2. září 1767) prosadil v parlamentu cla na dovoz zboží z kolonií. Tyto tzv. Townshendovy zákony vedly ke vzbouření v koloniích v Severní Americe (Bostonské pití čaje), následně k válce za nezávislost a nakonec vzniku Spojených států.

V roce 1755 se oženil s Caroline Campbell (1717–1794), dcerou významného skotského státníka 2. vévody z Argyllu a vdovou po hraběti z Dalkeithu. Manželství zůstalo bezdětné.

Moving To Portugal In Children - Green-Acres Blog
Moving to Portugal with children: what to expect
Sunny Portugal's one of the most popular destinations for British expats to live abroad – and our two countries go back a long way (in fact, the world's oldest extant alliance is between Portugal and the UK). Many expats are retirees choosing to enjoy their golden years in the warmth of the southern sun, but others still are families looking for that relaxed, laid-back lifestyle they remember from their own childhoods. In fact, 5% of known British citizens in the country are aged under 15. So, if you're moving to Portugal with children, what should you expect?
Property is much cheaper
If you're living in a typical British house – two medium sized bedrooms and a box room – the kids will undoubtedly be delighted with the space you can afford in Portugal. Although property prices are steadily rising, you can easily find four-bedroom townhouses with pools in desirable areas like Lagos for €400,000.
As such, you'll all benefit from having plenty more room to run around in. Who would say no to a sea-view terrace or even a balcony directly opening from the master room?
Moving to Portugal with children can be a great decision for the whole family.
The lifestyle is much more active
Many parents look back to the days before phones – remembering their own childhoods of running around and getting up to mischief outdoors. It can be hard to prise kids away from the lure of an electronic screen, but weather in the thirties and a beach on the doorstep is often the trick! Many people who move here remark on how much less sedentary life is, while still somehow feeling more relaxed and less hectic.
Plus, many expats move to smaller towns – meaning your kids will soon make friends and really fit into the community. The anonymity of suburban sprawl doesn't exist so much here.
Education is top-class
There used to be certain stereotypes about the quality of education both Portugal and Spain floating around, but a huge push over the last two decades have left them in the dust. In 2015, Portuguese students scored above average in reading and science in the PISA assessments, and on average for mathematics.
Education's free in the public system, and divided into a number of 'cycles' (like in Ireland, or a bit like key stages in the UK). Primary education lasts nine years, with three cycles. Secondary school is specialised depending on whether your child goes for an academic scheme or a vocational one. There's still a common requirement for some subjects to be studied, including Portuguese, PE, philosophy, RE and an MFL.
You have international options too
There's a huge international community in Portugal, especially in the Algarve. As such, if you have older children or you expect them to need to re-integrate into the education system back, you'll be pleased to know that there are a number of schools teaching to the British curriculum and the international baccalaureate.

Q: How to share java-packages between docker-container via link? I am completely new to Docker and don't really understand how "link" works between containers.
I wrote a little java-program with some packages and I want each package to run on a different container.
I would like the packages to find each other through the link and communicate with each other.
The goal is, that when I execute the main class in my main container, that this class finds all the other packages in the other containers and can use them.
It works without a problem when I use volumes but I would like to know if I can do it just with links and ports and without having to use volumes.
I imagine this being a very stupid question but I read everything here: https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockerlinks/ but still don't understand how it really works.
Could someone help me with it?

Q: Will I lose my data if I downgrade to 14.04? So I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04 and I am having A LOT of problems!!!
I have decided to go back to 14.04 LTS through my CD.. So I just wanted to know if I will lose my apps and settings if I downgrade using the CD, because basically I will be reinstalling 14.04 if I do so.. If yes, is there any other way to downgrade without losing my settings?

A: The application you are looking for is aptik. With this app you can backup yout current application LIST, ppa and their settings. You cannot backup your installed applications. But, since you backed up your application list and their settings, so, next time when you restore your applications, it will download all the previously installed applications, restore your ppas and apply the previous settings on them.

A: Yes, you will lose your data if you reinstall 14.04. And no, there's no proper way of keeping your software. I recommend you to backup your files to an external drive and take note of all the programs you installed with APT (you can get a list of them with the command dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall). After reinstalling, get your files back from the external drive and install your apps again (I recommend doing it from the terminal, it will be faster with sudo apt-get install package 1 package 2 package 3 ...).

A: It depends how you installed ubuntu in the first place. If you made a seperate partition for /home you will lose nothing. Though, by default ubuntu installs /root & /home in same partition. You can check withgparted whether /home is on same or different partition (i.e. sda followed by different number). If in doubt, post image here

Сюжет

Передісторія
Подіям серіалу передує довга історія його вигаданого всесвіту, яка розкривається впродовж епізодів. Фундаментальна сила в ньому — спіральна енергія, яку створює здатність до розмноження та розвитку. Всі живі істоти, але особливо людиноподібні, володіють нею. Одна з високорозвинених цивілізацій минулого виявила згубність безмежного розвитку для всесвіту. Принісши свій власний розвиток в жертву, вона обмежила свою популяцію життям на одній планеті. Окрім самопожертвування ця цивілізація стала обмежувати розвиток інших цивілізацій, за що була названа анти-спіраллю.

Земля в своєму розвитку зіткнулася з анти-спіраллю. Для боротьби з нею були створені спіральні лицарі — пілоти людиноподібних бойових машин ґанменів. Ґанмен може функціонувати як від електричної енергії, так і від спіральної (носієм та джерелом якої є пілот) — в цьому випадку можливості ґанмена істотно збільшуються. В ході боротьби земляни, які і численні інші цивілізації, програли. Їм було дозволено жити під поверхнею Землі за умови, що їхня чисельність не перевищить 1 млн осіб. Один з лицарів, Лорд Геном, взявся підтримувати чисельність в цих межах і створив звіролюдей, не здатних до розмноження, але придатних для різної роботи. За століття часи польотів у космос і навіть існування світу поза підземеллями забулися. Однак прагнення до розвитку лишилося в людей і спонукало деяких сміливців вибратися на поверхню в пошуках нового.

Події серіалу
В одному з підземних поселень живуть головні герої: старанний тихий підліток Сімон та розбишака Каміна. Каміна різними способами прагне вийти на поверхню, що засуджує старійшина поселення. Одного разу Сімон знаходить в шахті первинний бур (свого роду завідний ключ) та маленького ґанмена, якого Каміна назвав Лаґанном. Раптово, в село проламується ґанмен з поверхні. Вслід за ґанменом в підземелля падає дівчина-снайпер Йоко. За допомогою первинного бура Сімон активує Лаґанна і трійця головних героїв проганяє нападника й вибирається на поверхню.

Сімон і Каміна довідуються, що поверхня населена звіролюдьми, якими править Лорд Геном, інакше відомий як Спіральний Король. Саме він загнав людей у підземелля і не випускає їх нагору. Каміна ставить собі на меті відшукати зниклого батька, котрий колись вирушив на поверхню, і скинути Лорда Генома. Сімон з Йоко приєднуються до нього, але скоро розуміють наскільки сильна його армія. Каміна добуває собі власного ґанмена, Ґуррена. Їх об'єднання отримує назву Ґуррен-Лаґанн. Постійним противником команди стає звіролюдина і майстерний мечник Вірал. В пошуках Лорда Генома Сімон знаходить капсулу з дівчиною Нією, яка виявляється дочкою Спірального Короля, викинутою ним з палацу. В одному з підземних поселень до них приєднується юний Россіу.

Герої долають генералів Спірального Короля одного за одним, об'єднуючи людей і звіролюдей проти його тиранії. Зібрана армія добуває все нову зброю і союзників, але Каміна гине в бою, ставши зразком сміливості та завзяття для Сімона.

Врешті Сімон веде друзів на штурм палацу Лорда Генома, який виявляється величезним ґанменом. Воля Сімона до перемоги і справедливості надзвичайно збільшує його спіральну енергію. Він долає Спірального Короля у двобої, але той наостанок попереджає, що Сімон прирік всіх на загибель. Він стверджує, що коли людей стане мільйон, на них чекає загибель, що прийде з неба.

Друга частина серіалу починається через 5 років після перемоги над Спіральним Королем. Дорослий Сімон входить до ради, яка керує містом, де люди і звіролюди живуть разом. Місто має високі технології і процвітає, але Сімон разом з Россіу зайнятий рутиною. Він пробує зблизитися з Нією, але без значних успіхів. Тим часом народжується мільйонна людина і цієї ж митті прилади фіксують, що Місяць сходить з орбіти, загрожуючи впасти на Землю. Над містом виникають невідомі машини, які атакують населення і навіть новітні ґанмени не в змозі їм протистояти. Сімон очолює атаку на них в Ґуррен-Лаґанн і знищує нападників, однак машини вибухають, завдавши величезних руйнувань. Россіу віддає Сімона під суд і засуджує до страти, щоб вгамувати бунти, і Сімон втрачає довіру народу.

Невідома сила захоплює Нію та оголошує через неї, що прагне безмежного відчаю і загибелі землян. Тим часом Россіу організовує евакуацію з Землі на космічному кораблі, який був схований під палацом Лорда Генома. Решту обіцяє сховати у підземеллях, але Сімон розкриває, що падіння Місяця зробить Землю непридатною для життя і обіцянки покликані лише зменшити паніку. Сімону вдається зібрати колишніх друзів і добути старі ґанмени, які працюють однаково на спіральній енергії та електриці. Вони пробиваються до Місяця, але їх зупиняє Нія.

Сімону вдається переконати Нію не коритися невідомій силі та відступити. Місяць виявляється величезним механізмом, замаскованим під небесне тіло. При з'єднанні з Ґуррен-Лаґанном він набуває своєї справжньої форми — флагмана землян «Соборна Земля». Землю врятовано, але Сімон розуміє, що ворог надзвичайно сильний і Нія досі в нього. «Соборна Земля» з набраним екіпажем вирушає в глибини космосу на пошуки ворога і дівчини.

Герої натрапляють на ворогів, анти-спіраль, від імені яких виступає Антиспіральник. Він пояснює, що розвиток і розмноження життя руйнує всесвіт і тому анти-спіраль придушує їх задля продовження існування всесвіту. Сімон намагається переконати його у протилежному, та анти-спіраль виставляє свої аргументи. Антиспіральник поміщує Сімона та інших до світу ілюзій, де кожен бачить здійснення своїх мрій, позбавляючи їх прагнення боротися і розвиватися, та думає, що переміг.

Сімону вдається пересилити ілюзії та звільнити від них друзів. Вони летять за Антиспіральником до його рідного виміру. Там Сімон знаходить Нію і всі разом виступають проти анти-спіралі та Антиспіральника зокрема. Спільна спіральна енергія перетворює Сімона та всіх, хто вирушив з ним, на істот космічних масштабів. Вони борються проти Антиспіральника серед галактик і зрештою долають його. Це звільняє всі цивілізації, що були під гнітом анти-спіралі, а екіпаж «Соборної Землі» повертається додому.

На Землі Сімон святкує весілля з Нією, але не підтримувана тепер анти-спіраллю, вона розпадається, встигши попрощатися з Сімоном. Той, набравшись у своїх пригодах стійкості і мудрості, оголошує перед присутніми, що знав про це. Він каже, що привів людей до перемоги, але вести їх у мирному житті — не його шлях. Сімон вирушає у мандри, щоб розповідати іншим про те як важливо постійно розвиватися і не здаватися перед труднощами.

Головні персонажі

 Головний протагоніст «Ґуррен Лаґанна», 14-річний землекоп із підземного селища Джіха. Дружить із Каміною, прямує за ним у його прагненні потрапити на поверхню, а потім відвоювати її. Саме він знаходить ключ-бур та Лаґанна, що й запускає ланцюжок подальших подій. Разом із Каміною, шляхом злиття, утворює Ґуррен Лаґанн.

 Рішучий і впевнений у собі юнак, який понад усе прагне потрапити на поверхню, яку бачив у дитинстві. Надихає Сімона та інших людей на боротьбу зі звіролюдьми. Засновник і лідер Ґуррен-Дану.

 Приваблива та хоробра дівчина, здатна перемогти ґанмена з однією гвинтівкою, адже є найкращим снайпером поселення Ріттона. Допомагає Сімону та Каміні вибратися на поверхню. Незабаром закохується у Каміну.

Виробництво
«Ґуррен Лаґанн» вперше анонсовано у липні 2006 року. За створення серіалу взявся режисер Хіроюкі Імаші, шанувальник жанру меха, який раніше працював над анімацією «Євангеліону». Після роботи над «Re: Cutie Honey» разом із Казукі Накасімою, Імаїші призначив його сценаристом. Імаїші завершив писати основну сюжетну лінію задовго до завершення, що полегшило роботу персоналу над епізодами. За словами голови компанії Gainax Hiroyuki Yamaga, ця серія тривалий час планувала етапи.

Сценарист Кадзукі Накасіма посилається на Кена Ішікаву, творця «Getter Robo», як на одного з тих, хто став джерелом впливу на «Ґуррена Лаґанна». «Ґуррен Лаґанн» наслідує «Getter Robo», все збільшуючи масштаби роботів до завершення серіалу. Однак Накасіма завершує історію «Ґуррен Лаґанну» в більш розумних межах. На аніме також вплинули попередні творіння Gainax, зокрема, на розвиток особистості протагоніста Сімона, яка проходить три стадії еволюції впродовж трьох сюжетних арок серіалу.

In Lahore, law emerges higher than the high-rises – by Qudrat Ullah
posted by Abdul Nishapuri | January 9, 2010 | In Original Articles
Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif of Punjab is an unpredictable man with great vigor and a substantiated strength of innovative potentials; especially when the issue of merit and rule of law surfaces, he forgives no body. During his first tenure and Punjab Chief Ministership, he didn't let off even his maternal uncle whose encroached commercial property at Lahore's famous Beadon Road was demolished by the LDA. This was a strong message to all high and mighty that now onwards no one will be above the law.
After coming to power for the second time, Shahbaz Sharif has tried to keep up his reputation of a hard task master. But now he has certain limitations for being a partner of yesterday's political foe, PPP in Punjab. Despite that, he has kept his reputation and when the issues of illegal high-rises surfaced, he decided to prove his mettle and ordered the LDA and the city government to go ahead. Consequently, Lahorites are witnessing a unique operation, carried out by the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) in the provincial metropolis, against the illegally constructed high-rises.
It is launched against the most powerful of the society- the high-rise builders who have built multi-storey plazas in different commercial areas of the city and then sold them out to the unaware buyers without fulfilling even building byelaws' requirements or caring for the structural fine-tuning, by greasing the palms of the corrupt elements in the LDA. But the storey does not end here; building a high-rise in Lahore or anywhere else is not an easy issue, you have to go to a little about dozen departments for various services and every department tries to 'seize the moment' with their objections and looming threats of action for some trivial deviations.
However, what is more alarming is the nagging collusion of entrenched land builders with the political clique of past regime; as both were united in their spiteful looting spree in Lahore. In fact, the 'Chaudhris of Gujrat' led PML(Q) was especially favorable to such builders as former Chief Minister Ch. Pervaiz Elahi flouted every rule and policy to please the ribald elements enjoined with him for their petty gains. In this process, he even granted permissions to construct plazas in grave violation of law and no construction standard was ever maintained by the affluent builders having suitable political connections in the power corridors. This resulted in roads congestion and discoloring of the city skyline; and Lahore started to appear as a baneful shanty town full with traffic jams and having no place for parking. The plazas were also built without any measure for public safety or fire fighting system.
Not contending with this, no attention was ever paid by such builders to the provision of public utilities in these plazas; nor such basic needs as parking space and mosque were met and the licentious owners of illegal plazas, in their lust for more money, also constructed shops on the space reserved for Mosques.
What is more distressing is that the builders' mafia not only ruined the future prospects of this multi billion dollar industry in Pakistan but also put the lives of hundreds of shopkeepers and visitors who could succumb to any eventuality like that of Oct. 8 2005 earthquake. Had this sector been developed on modern lines along with ensuring the structural amplifications, the results would have been different today.
However, the Supreme Court of Pakistan, taking a suo-moto notice of the situation, constituted a 3-member commission under Justice Riaz Kiyani in 2007 to look into the matter and give suitable recommendations to improve the past mistakes.
In the light of the commission's report and the directions of the apex court of Pakistan, the Punjab government gave green signal to Lahore city district government and the LDA to start legal action against the imprecise high-rises built in blatant violation of law. The LDA has identified as many as 400 buildings of various categories in its controlled area in the metropolis for action and demolition drive is already underway. Meanwhile, LDA has suspended 24 officials, including the chief metropolitan planner, the town planning director, and the former chief town planner for their alleged involvement in allowing illegal construction of high-rises in the city. The authority has also initiated departmental action against suspended officials under Punjab Employees Efficiency and Discipline Act, 2006. On the other hand, Punjab Chief Minister has also announced that the staff of LDA and City District Government, involved in the construction of illegal high-rises, will be awarded deterrent punishment so that in future no powerful could dare to violate law.
For the demolition of illegal high-rises, Lahore Development Authority has engaged 20 private firms, accelerating its ongoing drive against illegally constructed plazas as well as for removing alterations made in such premises in violation of the approved building plans. A labour force of more than 300 employees has been carrying out round-the-clock demolition campaign launched by the LDA since December 6, last year.
National media and the civil society have welcomed the action against the high and mighty builders but it is surprising that hue and cry is being raised on the demolition of illegal plazas by Q League, Imran Khan and by some political pundits who wants to cash in on the situation. But it would have been much better if those who are involved in propaganda against the operation against illegal high-rises raise their voice for the poor victims.
It is encouraging that the Shahbaz Sharif has announced that the interests of widows, orphans and middle class shop keepers, duped into purchasing shops in these plazas and have been kept in the dark about their illegal status, will be fully safeguarded. He maintained that those who are earning their livelihood from such shops will be protected against financial losses. Shahbaz Sharif has again set a leadership benchmark that daunts the political class as a whole. His governance style has taken the entrenched mafias and vested interests by huge shock.
It is encouraging that Punjab government is ensuring even action against plaza mafia. This is a strong message to the powerful builders in the country that no one is above the law and their D-Day can come any day. But, it is only possible in a democratic set up that gubernatorial affluent taste the power of the law. And this drive has realized that the law reigns higher than the high-rises in Lahore.

Munno Bhai writes in support of the demolition of illegal high-rise buildings in Lahore:
humza ikram
its clear case of victimization , shahbaz sharif son in law plaza which is the highest building on MM Alam road was also included in the list of illegal structure building . but judicary deleted his plaza's name in their verdict.
and most amusing thing is as soon as Plaza owner's association succeeded in service of Aitizaz Ahsan as attorney , LHC has ordered LDA to halted their operation .
Where is Mr Merit (Mr Khadim-e-Ala) of Lahore Sharif?
'Sanaullah's plaza escapes drive against high-rises'
* Report claims Punjab law minister concealed facts from High-Rising Building Commission
Daily Times Monitor
LAHORE: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has managed to exempt a three-storey residential building owned by him – which is being used for commercial purposes – from the Punjab chief minister's campaign against high-rise buildings and commercial plazas in the city, reported a private TV channel on Sunday.
In an investigative report, the channel said Sanaullah was operating his office out of a residential building – located on 5 Fane Road, Lahore – which was being used for commercial purposes and violated recommendations by the High-Rising Building Commission (HRBC).
The channel said Sanaullah "concealed facts about his building from the HRBC" to save it from being razed.
The report said the building has three storeys and a basement, and is registered under the names of Rana Sanaullah, son of Sher Muhammad, and his wife Nabila Sanaullah. The construction map of the plot was approved on March 21, 2000, for residential purposes in line with orders by the chief corporation officer.
The approval letter was signed on March 3, 2000, but point 3 of the letter states that the letter was approved on March 14, 2000 on orders by the chief corporation officer – revealing that the letter was issued to Sanaullah 11 days before it was signed by the chief corporation officer.
Point 4 of the letter states that the owner of the plot would pay the verification fee, if due, after audit – another violation by Sanaullah, as the rules and regulations demand that all fees be paid immediately after the approval of all construction maps or before any verification.
The channel also highlighted several other points of the letter that violate the law.

Of ethics and hypocrisy
In the land of the 'pure', hypocrisy reigns supreme. A glaring example of this is Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan's recent and not-so-recent antics. The law minister was able to get his own high-rise plaza exempted from scrutiny. Not only did he get illegal paper-work done to show his three-storey building as a two-storey building, he also papered over the fact that the building was being used for commercial purposes and was not a residential building as he had claimed in the official documents. Not only is Mr Sanaullah Khan a member of the ruling party in Punjab, the PML-N, he is also the provincial law minister. If the law minister himself is breaking the law, how can the government of Punjab have the moral authority to ask the citizens to follow the rule of law?
With the Punjab chief minister's drive against 'illegal buildings' and the Punjab government on a rampage against high-rise commercial plazas, the omission of Mr Sanaullah's own property is a grim reminder of the double standards of the powers that be. Many in the PML-N, including the Punjab law minister, have been asking for the resignations of NRO beneficiaries in the federal government despite the fact that no charges have been proved as yet. Is a person not innocent until proven guilty? On the one hand, the PML-N demands resignations of the PPP ministers and on the other hand, one of its own ministers has a prima facie charge against him of manipulating the system. The PML-N should immediately sack the law minister from his post and tear down his illegal plaza. If this is not done, then the Punjab chief minister will not only be complicit in this crime but the 'Khaadim-e-Aala' will also lose the trust of the people.
On another note, this is not the first incident of Rana Sanaullah's law-breaking spree. Just a few days ago when President Zardari was on a visit to Faisalabad, the motorway had been closed for the president's security. Given the grave terrorist threat, considerable security measures were necessary during his visit to Punjab, barricading the motorway to other travellers until his motorcade had passed Faisalabad being one of them. The Punjab law minister thought nothing of breaching presidential security and broke the barricades in a show of bravado. He also boasted about this 'heroic' act on various television channels. Such is the sorry tale of our so-called law minister, who should change his portfolio to Punjab's 'law-breaking' ministry as this attitude of highhandedness and utter disregard for the law does not befit a law minister.
Lawmakers slam 'above the law' Rana Sanaullah
* Furore after PA speaker asks opposition members not to discuss law minister's plaza
By Rana Kashif
LAHORE: Lawmakers attending the Punjab Assembly's ongoing session on Monday criticised the Punjab law minister following reports in newspapers that he managed to save his illegal plaza from being demolished by authorities.
At a point of order during the assembly session, member of the opposition Samina Khawar Hayat said it was "ridiculous" that the law minister, whose responsibility was to strictly abide by the law, had himself violated the rules.
She said a building belonging to Law Minister Rana Sanaullah was constructed in violation of the rules, but Speaker Rana Iqbal Khan ordered Hayat not to speak on the matter.
Conflict: Upon this some members, including female members Amna Ulfat and Simal Kamran, protested against the speaker's orders, saying the order proved that the law minister was exempted from operating under the country's laws.
The members said the Punjab law minister should also be apprehended like owners of other illegal buildings. Meanwhile, the law minister passed some remarks against the protesting female assembly members, leading to a protest, but the assembly's speaker intervened to settle the dispute.
Also, a number of female assembly members from the opposition demanded the government act against the Punjab chief secretary (CS) regarding an incident where a retired army officer was killed after he got hit by the CS' car.
PML-Q member Simal Kamran said the Punjab CS should be held responsible for the incident, as the CS' driver, who has been charged with the murder, was only adhering to the official's orders.
She said the responsibility fell on the CS who was present in the vehicle at the time of the incident and who did not ask the driver to drive slower. But MPA Sheikh Allaudin said the CS had acted responsibly by handing over his driver to the authorities.
The Punjab law minister also backed Sheikh's statement, adding that the driver had been charged in an FIR already.

First images from "Taken 2" show off Liam Neeson's particular set of skills
Posted by Rick Marshall on May 17th
Liam Neeson's 2008 action film "Taken" was a surprise hit when it arrived in theaters and introduced audiences to former special-ops agent Bryan Mills, a man with a "particular set of skills" that allowed him to rescue his daughter after she was kidnapped while traveling overseas.
The film earned more than $226 million worldwide, so it's not surprising that a sequel is currently in the works. However, "Taken 2" finds Neeson's character on the other side of the dangerous scenario, held hostage by the father of one of the kidnappers he killed in the first film. This time around, he needs help from his daughter (Maggie Grace) to enact his escape — though we're pretty sure he won't need too much assistance in teaching his captors a lesson.
Along with that little change-up in the plot, "Taken 2" also sees "Colombiana" and "Transporter 3" director Olivier Megaton replacing "Taken" director Pierre Morell behind the camera. The original film's screenwriters, Robert Mark Kamen and Luc Besson, also scripted the sequel.
Over at EW.com, there's a trio of stills from the film featuring Neeson as Bryan Mills in various stages of ass-kickery. (Yes, even when he's standing still and staring at the camera, he's still kicking ass. That's one of his particular skills.)
The site also features a brief interview with Neeson in which he reveals that the sequel is set about 12-18 months after the first film, and some details about the series of events that force his character into action yet again.
"I've taken a job over in Istanbul looking after a sheik who is there, and afterward I discover that my wife's going through a very bad time with her new husband," he explained. "So I suggest she and my daughter come over for a few days and hang out with me in this amazing city. And then… [Laughs] all this shit happens, of course."
"Taken 2" hits theaters October 5.
