Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam has called more than 270 witnesses over the last six months, and the last of them, including the main police investigator, are expected to appear on Nov. 26, the day the siege began a year ago.

Buses were commandeered, and mobs ran screaming through the streets. But the victory that was being celebrated was not from a war as much as a single battle: the home leg of the national soccer team's double header against Algeria, whose outcome will determine which country makes...
...banner efficiently advertises the website, and includes the champions for the past campaign in flag football and volleyball. It also mentions that Lev took third place in last year’s Straus Cup competition—a surprising result for the amount of attention the house devotes to its intramural program. Of course, the banner follows it up with a determined “Yes!” in response to the question of Lev being the ultimate champion this year...
