Madurai, Feb 10 (PTI) The much-awaited jallikattu was held amid tight security today in nearby Alanganallur, famous for the bull-taming sport, which left 47 sportsmen injured, police said.The event, held after a gap of nearly three long years, saw the attendance of several dignitaries including Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan, DMK leader MK Stalin and Sri Lankan Minister Senthil Thondaman.District Collector Veeraraghava Rao formally inaugurated the sport after administering oath to 1,464 sportsmen who took part in the game.A variety of prizes including a car, two-wheelers, cash and utensils were awarded to the winners.As many as 47 sportsmen were injured in the sport while attempting to tame the bulls and had been admitted to the hospital.The DMK working president Stalin gave away prizes to some of the winners in the sport.As many as 950 bulls from different parts of Tamil Nadu were used in the game in which the Sri Lankan ministers bulls also took part.The spectators gallery was overflowing since morning with jallikattu fans who had been pouring into the village from yesterday.All the sportsmen and the bulls were subjected to mandatory medical examination, as laid down by the state government, and elaborate arrangements were made for providing medical treatment.More than 2,000 police personnel were deployed on security duty at the venue.Normally, Jallikattu is held as part of the Pongal festivities in Tamil Nadu. However, it was not held during Pongal this year due to a Supreme Court ban.Amid continuing protests over Jallikattu ban across the state, the Tamil Nadu Assembly had on January 23 unanimously passed an amendment bill, clearing the path for conducting Jallikattu without any hindrance.

We’ve hit the midpoint of the Premier League season, and now everyone has played everyone at least once. Liverpool have obviously been the big winners thus far having made it through half of the season unbeaten, and that kind of dominance has bled into the Fantasy world as well.In fact, four of the 11 best players at this stage come from Jurgen Klopp’s side, who boast the points leaders at three different positions in our game. You can find those three individuals and the rest of our Goal Team of the (Half) Season below.

GK: Alisson – Liverpool – 19 Games, 45 Saves, 7 Goals Conceded, 12 Clean Sheets = 109 PointsDEF: Virgil van Dijk – Liverpool – 19 Games, 1 Goal, 2 Assists, 7 Goals Conceded, 12 Clean Sheets = 104 PointsThe Liverpool defender may well be the best defender in the league and his Fantasy performances are continuing to reflect that. Since the Dutchman joined the club, Liverpool’s defence has improved drastically having kept more clean sheets than any other club (21) over that period.Now, in 2018/19, van Dijk has already been involved in as many goals (three) as he ever has in a full Premier League season, propelling him to the top of the heap among defenders in the Goal game.DEF: Andrew Robertson – Liverpool – 17 Games, 4 Assists, 5 Goals Conceded, 12 Clean Sheets = 101 Points
DEF: Marcos Alonso – Chelsea – 19 Games, 1 Goal, 7 Assists, 16 Goals Conceded, 8 Clean Sheets = 90 PointsMID: Mohamed Salah – Liverpool – 18 Games, 12 Goals, 7 Assists = 130 PointsAt the mid-point of the season, Mohamed Salah leads all players in points in our game. This has largely come off the back of his 12 goals which are the second-most in the league and, as a midfielder, the Egyptian gets an extra point for every one of them compared to forwards.While it’s unlikely the Liverpool talisman will score 20 more times to meet last season’s total, he has already recorded more chances created (41) and assists (3) than he did at this stage in 2017/18. This versatility should ensure that Salah will remain an elite Fantasy option, even when the goals aren’t going in.MID: Eden Hazard – Chelsea – 15 Games, 10 Goals, 9 Assists = 120 Points
MID: Raheem Sterling – Manchester City – 15 Games, 9 Goals, 7 Assists = 106 PointsSterling’s form has dipped significantly of late, but he still makes this list easily as a top-three Fantasy midfielder. Owning the English international is not always a joyous experience though as he’s blanked in nearly as many weeks (9) as not (10).Fortunately, in the Goal game, when Sterling does put up those poor performances you can always replace him with another player that is yet to play that week, so you can gamble on the upside of Sterling while providing yourself with an out if he disappoints. Or, for those of you that prefer to use him as a set-and-forget option, you can rest assured that, come the end of the season Sterling will likely be in our Team of the Year – again.MID: Felipe Anderson – West Ham – 19 Games, 8 Goals, 3 Assists = 95 Points
FOR: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Arsenal – 17 Games, 13 Goals, 4 Assists = 113 PointsAubameyang only scored one goal in the first five matches of this season, yet here he sits with more goals (13) than any other Premier League player at the midway point. He heads the Arsenal attack which has created more assists than any club save for Manchester City, which should provide him with plenty more opportunities to score in the second half of the season.Whether he will continue to finish those chances at the same rate remains to be seen as he’s currently significantly outperforming his expected goals, but that doesn’t make his accomplishments thus far any less significant.FOR: Harry Kane – Tottenham – 18 Games, 12 Goals, 5 Assists = 112 PointsFOR: Callum Wilson – Bournemouth – 17 Games, 8 Goals, 8 Assists = 96 Points

If you look at some of the big players in recreational boards (skateboards, surf boards, snowboards, etc.) the vast majority are California based, but Doug Stevens and his business partner Leslie McCullough Casse are set to make their mark on the industry with their new East Coast business called AsheVillain.The company, just gearing up for its launch party on September 14, creates bamboo and maple skateboards and long boards. That’s for starters. As they grow they plan to include all board sports into their line of products.Based in Asheville, N.C. where it’s currently illegal to skateboard on sidewalks or streets, the pair named the company AsheVillain as a nod to the city as well as a play on the current state of skateboarding. “You sort of have to be a villain to skateboard here,” says Casse.Their first line of boards will be of the naked variety—just the beauty of the wood with a single, small AsheVillain logo on one end. These special edition boards are 2-ply maple and 3-ply bamboo, a combination proven to give maximum strength and versatility.“The Naked Series” offers four styles—a pintail, a “pool deck” board with uplifted tail, an “8.0 deck” classic skateboard, and a hybrid board.In time, they’ll add designs and even have a plan to tap into the creativity of regional artists. “The artists will each design a board for us,” says Stevens. “We expect to have about 15 that will be displayed at galleries and then auctioned off. We’ll then run a line of the most popular designs.”Proceeds from the auction as well as the upcoming launch party will benefit A.Skate Foundation, which gives autistic kids a chance to be part of the social world through skateboarding.The partners are also very proud of their colored and scented skateboard wax that they produce from candle remnants supplied from area spas and restaurants. Their apparel line includes organic cotton t-shirts, snapback hats, and a variety of bumper and board stickers.“Sustainability is extremely important to us,” says Casse, “ having as little impact on the earth is vitally important.”It’s also a focus for them, in an age where obesity is becoming a greater risk, to get people moving.“It’s about getting outdoors, being active, being creative and inspiring others,” says Stevens. “We believe life is about the ride.” Editors’ Recommendations The Business of Delivering Booze to Your Door, According to Drizly’s Founders You Should Read Patagonia Founder Yvon Chouinard’s Guide to Life How to Build the Perfect Charcuterie Board The Rise of Taiwanese Food Chain Din Tai Fung 5 Canadian Lifestyle Brands You Need to Know

7,960 Views Micheál Martin to face questions from grassroots about keeping FG in government until 2020 The party is holding its Ard Fheis at Citywest today. Saturday 23 Feb 2019, 7:00 AM Feb 23rd 2019, 7:01 AM https://jrnl.ie/4508275 Short URL 60 Comments By Christina Finn Image: Sam Boal Image: Sam Boal Share161 Tweet Email “WE CAN’T RISK another five years of Fine Gael and its cheerleaders.”Those were the words of the Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin during his keynote speech at his party’s Ard Fheis in 2016. Martin went on to tell his grassroots members that year:“Let no one tell you that there is no choice – that we just have to let them carry on,” he said, adding:“Fine Gael and its cheerleaders relentlessly like to push the line that we can’t risk change. The truth is our country can’t risk five more years of this government.”Fast forward three years and today, at the party’s Ard Fheis in Citywest, Martin will have to sell another story to his members. One in which he has to explain why Fianna Fáil has signed up to keep Fine Gael in power until 2020 – just one year shy of the situation he previously shunned. The Fianna Fáil leader says there is a big reason as to why he has gone down this road. Brexit. However, there are some in the party that are not happy, and don’t buy into the strategy of their leader. They are fed up of biding their time, fed up of ‘getting it in the neck’ from their constituents and members, and fed up of the party appearing to say “they can’t do much better”, which is what veteran Fianna Fáiler Éamon Ó Cuív believes his party is selling. However, one TD loyal to the Cork TD said the majority back the party leader 100% in his strategy, stating that it will pay off, and that the people will thank them for taking the high road at a time when Ireland is facing into a national emergency. But how will Micheál convince his party that he knows best? He said Fianna Fáil had to take the “hard decision” before Christmas to continue with the confidence and supply agreement with Fine Gael. A decision, he still believes, was the right one.While he said not everyone was at the party meeting in which it was raised, he says the majority of TDs and senators back him up on that call.“Of course there is a lot of concern” among members, Martin acknowledged to reporters yesterday, adding that his party members are “rightly angry” at the government over issues such as housing and rental prices. But he believes his members and the public see that Fianna Fáil are keeping the government in place for the greater good. “I think the public get it that Brexit overrides and trumps those issues,” he said. Giving the government time and space to deal with Brexit throughout 2019 is something he stands by, stating that you can’t be piecemeal about the confidence and supply and only push it out every month or so. Even if a deal is agreed between the UK and the EU and there is a soft Brexit, Martin said, there will still be consequences for Ireland, essentially also ruling out that he will go to the people in that scenario.“I think in fairness we have been constructive in terms of the confidence and supply, I think we have been honourable and gone by our word and we will continue,” he said. While Martin is happy to keep the ship steady, rather than thrust the country into a “chaotic situation”, as he puts it, he does have sights set on the future of his own career. Martin said Fianna Fáil wants to lead the government after the next election, and perhaps go into coalition with other “like-minded” parties. After the 2016 election, Martin said the assumption was they would lose seats, but they gained them. It will be the same this time around, said Martin, who adds Fianna Fáil “will surprise people” in the next general election. Tweet thisShare on FacebookEmail this article
NASA Captures ‘Red-Handed’ Avalanche on Mars in Mesmerizing PhotoBest Skywatching Events in September 2019 Cohabiting on Mars might seem like a futuristic concept, but NASA is paving the way for interplanetary living: The space agency just named the top three finalists for its ongoing 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, and the winning designs tease high-tech dwellings for the Red Planet’s first residents.The 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, which was started in 2015, involves teams that compete to design homes that are fit for Mars, the Moon, and other planets, CNN reported.What might a human habitat on Mars look like? We challenged citizen inventors to imagine life-supporting environments on the Red Planet by creating a full-scale habitat design using modeling software. Three winners were recently selected: https://t.co/ffUmjvDyN4 pic.twitter.com/7Xu4JLU1td— NASA (@NASA) April 1, 2019For level four of the competition’s third phase, 11 teams were required to develop full-scale renderings of their designs via modeling software and produce videos that explained their space-friendly shelters. All the models were evaluated based on architectural aesthetics and layout, construction, and scalability. Phases Two and One focused on material technologies and architectural renderings, respectively.Team Zopherus suggested that their Mars shelter could be built by a robotic roving printer. (Photo Credit: Zopherus/NASA)SEArch+/Apis Cor, a New York-based team, earned the top spot for their bizarre twisted dwelling, which features small holes that enable natural night to stream in. Team Zoperhous, which took second place, suggested that their dwellings could be printed by a robotic rover. Mars Incubator, a team of artists and engineers, came in third place with their innovative modular design that had four different spaces, including one for cultivating plants.The three winning teams split a prize of $100,000 for this stage of the project. The finalists will have to 3D-print scale models of their designs to compete for the next round’s $800,000 prize pool.More on Geek.com:Scientists Discover Potential Source of Methane on MarsNASA’s Mars Helicopter Passes First Test Flight With Flying ColorsGoogle Will Now Take You to ‘Mars on Earth’ Stay on target
ADC AUTHOR A recent DOD report predicts the Navy will resupply its inventory of pilots by 2023, but thereafter the available talent pool may be unpredictable, according to Federal News Network.The report to Congress offers the most comprehensive view of the current military-wide pilot shortage and indicates the Navy faces the same struggle to retain experienced pilots that has challenged the Air Force.The Navy has a shortage of 1,242 aviators, including pilots and navigators and has experienced high pilot loss rates, especially at mid and senior levels.The Navy lost 611 pilots in 2018, which is 131% higher than the service’s 10-year average of 465 per year in pilot attrition. The Navy’s pilot inventory is about 7,000 pilots and combined pilot/flight officers (NFOs).The report indicates the current Navy pilot shortage was caused by under recruitment from 2005 to 2012 and low graduation rates from the undergraduate training commands and Graduate Fleet Replacement squadron.Many senior Navy pilots are leaving for commercial airlines, the report said.Navy photo by Seaman Joshua Samoluk

And yet, this gorgeous, publicly funded building is restricted and only open to the general public during scheduled tours. Naturally, this is par for the course for any public space facility due to security concerns, but I’m still struck that this luxurious experience and the epic chai lattes will be inaccessible to most of the people who helped pay for it. However, Attenborough insists Virgin’s vision is bigger than operating an orbital joy ride for the elite. “What’s happening here could eventually translate into a quicker and cleaner way to get around the planet,” he tells me.

Rescue workers use a dog to search victims among debris after a tsunami hit Sunda Strait at Rajabasa in South Lampung, Indonesia, on 25 December 2018. Photo: ReutersIndonesian rescuers on Tuesday used drones and sniffer dogs to search for survivors along the devastated west coast of Java hit by a tsunami that killed at least 429 people, warning more victims are expected to be uncovered as the search expands.Thick ash clouds continued to spew from Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island where a crater collapse at high tide on Saturday sent waves smashing into coastal areas on both sides of the Sunda Strait between the islands of Sumatra and Java.At least 154 people remain missing. More than 1,400 people were injured, and thousands of residents had to move to higher ground, with a high-tide warning extended to Wednesday.Rescuers used heavy machinery, sniffer dogs, and special cameras to detect and dig bodies out of mud and wreckage along a 100-km (60-mile) stretch of Java’s west coast and officials said the search area would be expanded further south.”There are several locations that we previously thought were not affected,” said Yusuf Latif, spokesman for the national search and rescue agency.”But now we are reaching more remote areas…and in fact there are many victims there,” he added.The vast archipelago, which sits on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, has suffered its worst annual death toll from disasters in more than a decade.Earthquakes flattened parts of the island of Lombok in July and August, and a double quake-and-tsunami killed more than 2,000 people on a remote part of Sulawesi island in September.It took just 24 minutes after the landslide for waves to hit land, and there was no early warning for those living on the coast.Temporary SheltersAuthorities have warned of further high waves and advised residents to stay away from the shoreline.”Since Anak Krakatau has been actively erupting for the past several months additional tsunamis cannot be excluded,” said professor Hermann Fritz, from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States.An aerial view of an affected area after a tsunami hit Sunda strait at Sumur village in Pandeglang, Banten province, Indonesia, on 25 December 2018. Photo: ReutersRescue efforts were hampered by heavy rainfall and low visibility. Military and volunteer teams used drones to assess the extent of the damage along the coast.Food, water, blankets, and medical aid is trickling into remote areas via inland roads that are choked with traffic.Thousands of people are staying in tents and temporary shelters like mosques or schools, with dozens sleeping on the floor and using public facilities. Many remained traumatised by the disaster.”We can’t sleep at night, and if we get to sleep a car goes past with sirens and we wake up again, on edge,” said Enah, a 29-year-old woman who managed to survive with her family.A local official in the city of Labuan, Atmadja Suhara, said he was helping to care for 4,000 refugees, many of whom had been left homeless.”Everybody is still in a state of panic,” he said. “We often have disasters, but not as bad as this.””God willing,” he said, “we will rebuild.”Destruction was visible along much of the coastline where waves of up to 2 metres (6 feet) crushed vehicles, felled trees, lifted chunks of metal,, wooden beams and household items and deposited them on roads and rice fields.People rest at an evacuation centre at Labuhan after a tsunami hit Banten province, Indonesia on 25 December 2018. Photo: ReutersOut in the strait, Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) was still erupting and authorities imposed a 2-km exclusion zone around itThe meteorology agency said that an area of about 64 hectares (222 acres), or about 90 soccer pitches, of the volcanic island had collapsed into the sea.In 1883, the volcano, then known as Krakatoa, erupted in one of the biggest blasts in recorded history, killing more than 36,000 people in a series of tsunamis, and lowering the global surface temperature by 1 degree Celsius with its ash. Anak Krakatau is the island that emerged from the area in 1927, and has been growing ever since.President Joko Widodo, who is running for re-election in April, told disaster agencies to install early warning systems, but experts said that, unlike tsunami caused by earthquakes, little could have been done in time to alert people that waves were coming.The timing of the disaster over the Christmas season evoked memories of the Indian Ocean tsunami triggered by an earthquake on 26 December 2004, which killed 226,000 people in 14 countries, including more than 120,000 in Indonesia.
2 min read Free Webinar | Sept 5: Tips and Tools for Making Progress Toward Important Goals This story originally appeared on Engadget Attend this free webinar and learn how you can maximize efficiency while getting the most critical things done right. December 18, 2015 FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler once called T-Mobile’s Binge On feature “highly innovative and highly competitive,” but it looks like things have changed since then. The agency has summoned not only T-Mobile, but also AT&T and Comcast to answer questions about their data cap exemption offerings, according to Ars Technica.For T-Mo, that service is Binge On, which allows subscribers of qualifying data plans to stream videos from select services such as Netflix, Hulu and HBO for free. AT&T’s Sponsored Data and Data Perks Program allows subscribers to stream content from sponsors without eating up their data allowance. Finally, Comcast has an add-on service for XFINITY Internet subscribers called Stream TV, which is exempted from customers’ monthly data usage.In the letter it sent each company, the FCC briefly explained the reason why they were being summoned for a discussion, though it all boils down to net neutrality. The agency told T-Mobile that some net neutrality advocates have expressed concerns over Binge On’s potential to harm innovation, as it makes “certain video apps more attractive to others.” It has a predetermined list of apps you can use for free, after all, and you can’t choose which ones to include in the service.In the FCC’s letter to AT&T, it said that it wants to get all the facts from the companies themselves in order to understand “how these services relate to the Commission’s goal of maintaining a free and open Internet.” And in the letter for Comcast, it said that Sling’s CEO raised “level playing field concerns,” and that others call Stream TV a new way to get around the FCC’s net neutrality guidelines.Wheeler told Ars, however, that this isn’t an official investigation, and the agency merely wants to stay informed about the companies’ practices. Either way, the three are expected to schedule a meeting with the commission by Jan. 15th, 2016, at the latest. Register Now »
Security issues found in nine password managers for Android (LastPass, Dashlane..) by Martin Brinkmann on March 02, 2017 in Security – Last Update: March 21, 2017 – 15 commentsSecurity researchers of the Fraunhofer Institute found severe security issues in nine password managers for Android that they analyzed as part of their research.Password managers are a popular option when it comes to storing authentication information. All promise secure storage either locally or remotely, and some may add other features to the mix such as password generation, automatic sign ins, or the saving of important data such as Credit Card numbers or Pins.A recent study by the Fraunhofer Institute looked at nine password managers for Google’s Android operating system from a security point of view. The researchers analyzed the following password managers: LastPass, 1Password, My Passwords, Dashlane Password Manager, Informaticore’s Password Manager, F-Secure KEY, Keepsafe, Keeper, and Avast Passwords.Some of the apps have more than 50 million installations, and all at least 100,000 installations.Password Managers on Android security analysisThe team’s conclusion should have anyone worried who implements a password manager on Android. While it is unclear whether other password manager applications for Android have vulnerabilities as well, there is at least a chance that this is indeed the case.The overall results were extremely worrying and revealed that password manager applications, despite their claims, do not provide enough protection mechanisms for the stored passwords and credentials. Instead, they abuse the users` confidence and expose them to high risks.At least one security vulnerability was identified in each of the apps the researchers analyzed. This went as far as some applications storing the master key in plain text, and others using hard-coded cryptographic keys in code. In another case, installation of a simple helper application extracted the passwords stored by the password application.Three vulnerabilities were identified in LastPass alone. First a hard-coded master key, then data leaks in browser search, and finally a vulnerability affecting LastPass on Android 4.0.x and lower which allows attackers to steal the stored master password.SIK-2016-022: Hardcoded Master Key in LastPass Password ManagerSIK-2016-023: Privacy, Data leakage in LastPass Browser SearchSIK-2016-024: Read Private Date (Stored Masterpassword) from LastPass Password ManagerFour vulnerabilities were identified in Dashlane, another popular password manager application. These vulnerabilities allowed attackers to read private data from the app folder, abuse information leaks, and run an attack to extract the master password.SIK-2016-028: Read Private Data From App Folder in Dashlane Password ManagerSIK-2016-029: Google Search Information Leakage in Dashlane Password Manager BrowserSIK-2016-030: Residue Attack Extracting Masterpassword From Dashlane Password ManagerSIK-2016-031: Subdomain Password Leakage in Internal Dashlane Password Manager BrowserThe popular 1Password application four Android had five vulnerabilities including privcacy issues and password leaking.SIK-2016-038: Subdomain Password Leakage in 1Password Internal BrowserSIK-2016-039: Https downgrade to http URL by default in 1Password Internal BrowserSIK-2016-040: Titles and URLs Not Encrypted in 1Password DatabaseSIK-2016-041: Read Private Data From App Folder in 1Password ManagerSIK-2016-042: Privacy Issue, Information Leaked to Vendor 1Password ManagerYou can check out the full list of apps analyzed and the vulnerabilities on the Fraunhofer Institute website.Note: All disclosed vulnerabilities have been fixed by the companies who develop the applications. Some fixes are still in development. It is recommended that you update the applications as soon as possible if you run them on your mobile devices.The conclusion of the research team is quite devastating:While this shows that even the most basic functions of a password manager are often vulnerable, these apps also provide additional features, which can, again, affect security. We found that, for example, auto-fill functions for applications could be abused to steal the stored secrets from the password manager application using “hidden phishing” attacks. For a better support of auto-filling password forms in web pages, some of the applications provide their own web browsers. These browsers are an additional source of vulnerabilities, such as privacy leakage.Now You: Do you use a password manager application?

Mary Coyle ice cream to reopen in central Phoenix Top holiday drink recipes Sponsored Stories Associated PressHANOI, Vietnam (AP) – Vietnam has abandoned plans to evict a rescue center for bears from a national park, a move that follows pleas from western governments, U.S. senators and international celebrities to save the facility.Animals Asia Foundation, the Hong Kong-based animal welfare group running the center, had waged a public relations and social media campaign around the planned eviction that garnered it international attention. Construction begins on Chandler hospital expansion project “Our priority has been to rehabilitate these bears after their years of trauma from being locked up in small cages and milked for their bile,” Jill Robinson, the group’s founder and CEO, said in a statement Wednesday. “If we had been forced to relocate it would have had a terrible impact on their wellbeing.”The $2 million center, which sits inside a national park 70 kilometers (43 miles) north of the capital Hanoi, is home to 104 bears rescued from Asia’s bear bile trade. Bear bile is used in some traditional remedies in the region. The sanctuary has been in the park since 2005.In July, Vietnam’s military ordered the center to relocate citing vague national security concerns, but Animals Asia and others suspected business interests were behind the eviction order. The daughter of the park’s director, Do Dinh Tien, is one of four shareholders in a planned ecotourism project there. In September 2011 Tien asked the agriculture ministry to approve that project and two others. But Tien denies he has ever planned to evict the bears.Prime Minister Dung said in a statement late Tuesday that the center can stay and continue with a planned expansion, and that Tien will be “severely dealt with” if violations are discovered. Comments Share Former Arizona Rep. Don Shooter shows health improvement Animals Asia says there are about 2,400 bears living on bile farms in Vietnam, and more than 10,000 in neighboring China.In November, 10 conservation groups, several foreign embassies and U.S. politicians wrote to Prime Minister Dung urging him to not close the center. Seven Democratic U.S. representatives said in their letter that the military’s national-security claim was “questionable.”British comedians Stephen Fry and Ricky Gervais regularly tweeted to their millions of followers about the planned eviction. American actress Ali MacGraw visited the center late last year.Conservationists said the planned eviction was an example of how development pressures often trump conservation agendas in Vietnam, which has less than 1 percent of the world’s land but about 10 percent of its species. Vietnam’s poor enforcement of environmental laws is adding to international criticism of its ruling Communist Party, which faces scrutiny over its human rights record and its management of a faltering economy.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.
