| Barcelona through as Lyon grab a lifeline
Andres Iniesta gave the Catalans an early, albeit brief lead after finishing off a Lionel Messi move by latching on to Bojan's cross to beat Remi Vercoutre in the Lyon goal. Four minutes later Juninho's freekick from 30 yards went high and missed all of its targets, but bounced over the diving Victor Valdes to level the scores. Yaya Toure's 25-yard drive dipped just over Vercoutre's crossbar as the Spaniards toyed with Lyon's defence early on, and on the quarter hour Fabio Santos was gifted the ball as he pressurised Barca's defence, only to shoot straight at Valdes. Vercoutre then pulled off a superb save to fingertip Toure's blast from the edge of the area around the post after Eidur Gudjohnsen had chested the ball down to the Ivory Coast midfielder. Sidney Govou was next to miss a scoring chance, blasting an angled shot straight at Valdes from the edge of the area.
BYU revises political neutrality policy
She said the sections regarding students and clubs that would like to invite candidates, politicians or others to speak on campus had been expounded to clear up confusion. Procedures for approval from the university have been clarified. The policy says "colleges, student academic associations, BYUSA and student-chartered clubs must receive approval prior to extending an invitation to a partisan political speaker or arranging an event [such as a debate or forum] that involves candidates for public office, public officials or campaign officials." The policy continues to outline the steps necessary for each group to gain approval. Groups must clear speakers with academic advisors, department chairs, deans and in some cases, the Office of General Counsel. Jenkins said the university has not gotten tighter with procedures.

Benazir Bhutto dies in suicide attack
It is hardly the usual drill of your average suicide bomber is it? There is clearly more to this than meets the eye. There are the radicals, the present government in Pakistan and there are also those on her own side who worried she was being used as a pawn by the West. I just heard Bush on TV. Also listening to BBC people saying, "Oh shock horror, Pakistan is a nuclear country!" Well they can blame Bush for that one. Their access to nuclear technology was suspended in the late 90s because of the unstable situation there. Bush gave it back to them in exchange for access to their airspace and a clear route into Afghanistan. Clearly when it suits him he can dish out access to nuclear technology like sweeties being dished out as treats to obedient children who do what they are told. .

Focus on Function
Fitness depends on your health history, vanity, goals, skills, injuries and commitment. Endurance and body-fat percentage and the strength of your heart and core are benchmarks, but we overlook the bottom line: how we feel and what we can do. It has nothing to do with awards, unless they spur you. Beyond the adulation, top athletes are fueled by inner affirmation. They know what they need — and train for it. So should you. .
Visits to Nassau's community health centers up
An effort to provide more medical care for those in need resulted in an upsurge in visits to Nassau's community health centers last year.
Outpatient visits from low-income and uninsured residents to Nassau's health centers in Elmont, Freeport, Roosevelt, Hempstead, Inwood and New Cassel-Westbury jumped from 65,415 in 2006 to 69,128 in 2007. The centers have a $14.5-million budget.
