(AP) ? Syrian troops and rebels clashed inside the tightly controlled capital Monday for the second day in what activists called some of the worst fighting since the country's crisis began 16 months ago.

The clashes briefly closed the highway linking the capital with Damascus International Airport to the city's south ? an unprecedented development, said Mustafa Osso, an activist based in Syria.

"It seems there is a new strategy to bring the fighting into the center of the capital," Osso told The Associated Press, referring to the rebels who fight under the banner of the Free Syrian Army. "The capital used to be safe. This will trouble the regime."

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Osso said the fighting was concentrated in the districts of Kfar Souseh, Midan and Tadamon.

An amateur video posted online showed Kfar Souseh as the sound of intense gunfire could be head in the distance. The presidential palace, on a mountain overlooking the capital, could be seen in the background. The authenticity of the video could not be independently confirmed.

There have been sporadic clashes in Damascus in recent months, although President Bashar Assad's forces remain firmly in control of the capital. Many of the Damascus suburbs, however, have risen up against the regime, prompting a ferocious response from the military in an attempt to clear out rebel fighters from the towns that ring the capital.

On Monday, activists reported government attacks in the Damascus suburb of Qatana.

Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, said Mondays' fighting was taking place about 2 kilometers (1 mile) from the airport highway.

A Damascus resident who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals said gunfire and sporadic explosions could be heard throughout the morning. The resident said that unlike previous clashes that occurred at night, the recent fighting took place during the day ? a sign that the rebels are becoming more brazen.

The clashes come as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday accused the West of using blackmail to secure a new U.N. Security Council resolution that would authorize the use of force in Syria.

A Chapter 7 resolution authorizes actions to enforce sanctions that can ultimately include the use of military force, which U.S. administration and European officials ? for now ? are playing down as a possibility.

U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan was expected in Moscow on Monday to discuss the Syria crisis.

On Sunday, Syria's 16-month bloodbath crossed an important symbolic threshold as the International Red Cross formally declared the conflict a civil war, a status with implications for potential war crimes prosecutions.

Also Sunday, United Nations observers gathered new details on what happened in a village where dozens were reported killed in a regime assault. After a second visit to Tremseh on Sunday, the team said Syrian troops went door-to-door in the small farming community, checking residents' IDs and then killing some and hauling others away.

According to the U.N., the attack appeared to target army defectors and activists.

"Pools of blood and brain matter were observed in a number of homes," a U.N. statement said.

Syria denied U.N. claims that government forces had used heavy weapons such as tanks, artillery and helicopters during the attack Thursday.

Anti-regime activists estimate that more than 17,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began.

Penn State report shows limits of campus crime law

For more than two decades, colleges and universities have been required to publicly share details of campus crimes and report murders, rapes, robberies, arson and other serious offenses to the federal government.

That requirement was apparently unheeded by former Penn State President Graham Spanier, other top officials and the larger ranks of university employees responsible for student safety, the recently released investigation into the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal concluded. The report by former FBI director Louis Freeh found that, outside the campus police department in State College, "awareness and interest" in the federal law known as the Clery Act was "significantly lacking."

The 1990 law is named for Jeanne Clery, a Lehigh University freshman who was raped and murdered four years earlier by a fellow student at a campus that's about a three-hour drive from Penn State.

National campus safety experts say such problems spread far beyond Penn State, even as the U.S. Department of Education has stepped up enforcement in recent years and teamed up with the FBI on some inquiries.

"This is a much broader concern," said S. Daniel Carter, director of a campus safety project at a charitable foundation formed by the families of the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting victims. "Penn State is a microcosm of the entire field of higher education."

Though not mentioned by name, Carter is referenced several times in the 267-page Freeh report. In 2007, he helped coordinate the training of several Penn State police officers on the Clery Act while working for the advocacy group Security On Campus, which was formed by Jeanne Clery's parents. He assisted federal education officials in developing a Clery Act handbook starting in 2003. And that same year, he notified Penn State that it had mistakenly reported that there were no sexual assaults on campus when the same federal report noted elsewhere that 11 such incidents had occurred in residence halls.

"They were resistant at first," Carter said. "But they came back and acknowledged they made an error."

A spokesman for the Office of Federal Student Aid said Friday that the education department has reviewed Clery Act compliance at 78 schools since 2007, with 34 of those reviews complete. That compares with an average of just two completed Clery Act reviews over the previous 10 years, according to online records.

Ten schools have been fined a total of $1.4 million for Clery Act violations since 2007, spokesman Chris Greene said. The offenders include Eastern Michigan University, which paid $350,000 for 13 violations in 2008, including a failure to warn students after the 2006 murder of a student. which the school denied for months. In June, the department levied a $110,000 fine against Tarleton State University, a part of the Texas A&M University system, for three unreported sex offenses among more than 70 campus crimes not publicly disclosed.

But Virginia Tech, fined $55,000 for its decision to delay campus warnings of a gunman who would kill 33 people in April 2007, saw its $55,000 fine overturned by an administrative law judge in March. And a federal judge reduced an $82,500 Clery Act fine against Washington State University to $15,000.

The Department of Education has been investigating Penn State since November, when the scope of Sandusky's misconduct emerged after the release of a scathing grand jury report. The former assistant football coach is awaiting sentencing after being convicted last month of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years in his home, on team trips and in school locker rooms. The school could be fined up to $27,000 per violation and have its federal student aid withheld.

"Our investigation covers not just the Sandusky allegations but all potential sexual offense issues at Penn State," Department of Education spokesman Justin Hamilton said. "We'll continue working with all relevant individuals, including campus officials and law enforcement personnel, to determine whether or not there were any violations of the Clery Act. We are taking a close look at the Freeh report as well as all relevant information to determine how it may aid our investigation."

The Freeh report documents several unsuccessful attempts by Penn State campus police to persuade university leaders to boost their Clery Act efforts. From 1991 to 2007, the university relied on an untrained crime prevention officer to oversee the program. When the officer told a supervisor he needed help or "we could get hurt really bad here," he was told there was no money for such support.

The university created an online reporting system for Clery Act crimes that same year. By 2011, just one report had been submitted. Broader campus training sessions and outreach efforts drew little participation, and the school's Clery Act policy remained in draft form in November ? even as Spanier boasted to Freeh's investigators that Penn State was "big on compliance, more than other universities." The school has since hired a Clery Act compliance coordinator.

In a statement released by the campus safety group she helped create with her late husband, Colleen Clery expressed her disappointment at the rampant abuse that unfolded on the campus just 170 miles from the school her daughter attended, and in the state where she continues to live.

"I am saddened that these events occurred in Pennsylvania, where (my husband) Howard and I started our campus safety efforts 25 years ago," she said. "Even so, I am heartened by the knowledge that there are many colleges and universities that are now considering their own policies and procedures and making changes in an effort to protect their students.

"There are valuable lessons for institutions to learn from this tragedy," she added. "Students can only have a secure learning environment if the entire campus community makes their safety a priority."

Alison Kiss, executive director of what is now known as the Clery Center for Security on Campus, suggested that the aftermath of Penn State could offer schools a belated chance to shore up their approach to taking crimes on campus seriously, just as the Virginia Tech shooting spurred improvements in threat assessment and emergency planning.

"Sad but true, we are a very reactionary society," she said. "More needs to be done to institutionalize campus safety. It should not fall just on the shoulders of campus police."

9 Tips & The Secret To A Good Night's Sleep Is A Clear Conscience ...

For those who are nocturnally challenged no remedy works better than a clear conscience and a good bed! I?m a bad sleeper and I?ve tried all sorts of tricks and tips spruiked by health professionals, fitness gurus, holistic practitioners, weekend newspaper lift-outs, you name it. But when it comes to actually getting some quality shut-eye after a stressful day the only thing that has ever worked for me is to clear my conscience. Knowing that I have done everything I can in the day to fulfil my responsibilities to my family, friends and the environment, means that I can genuinely feel that I deserve a good night?s sleep. I don?t have things gnawing away at my conscience, I don?t toss and turn, worry and obsess. I have tried nearly everything suggested to me to improve my sleep.

There are the general rules that doctors tell you to follow which are to:

1. Buy a good mattress ? invest in this ? don?t skimp ? it will be something you use everyday for the next 10 years

2. Exercise during the day

3. Don?t drink alcohol or stimulants at night, or any liquid after 8pm.

4. There is the completely dark room suggestion

5. No brain stimulating activity after 9pm

6. Lavender under your pillow

7. A handful of nuts and seeds before bed,

8. Meditation

9. Fresh airflow.

All of these things can help, but they don?t always, sometimes never. I haven?t tried hypnosis and apparently that can have positive effects but maybe that it for a similar reason. The hypnosis is a clearing away of your conscience, a cleaning of the slate, I just doubt whether it lasts.

So my nightly ritual is :

To sit down in a quiet place an hour or so before I plan to be asleep. I ask myself, ?Are you satisfied with your day today? Do you feel you have done everything within your power to contribute to the people in your life and to the environment? Can you say that your conscience is clear? If the answer is no, then I think about where the problems are and how I might fix them. If it?s something I can deal with straight away then I always do. It might mean a phone call or writing an email or going to talk to my son about his school work or my wife about a financial issue. If I can?t deal with it straight away I write it down as something I need to deal with as soon as possible. Then, without fail, it?s blissfully off to the sleepy dream cloud for me. The greatest thing about a good night?s sleep is that you know you are at your best, your healthiest the next day. Your body feels strong and able to fight of viruses and infections, your head feels clear and able to tackle difficult issues, and you feel? you are giving life your all. It is really worth trying this for anyone who has tried everything else and still wrestles through the night, clear your conscience and drift off to peaceful sleep.

Flo has spent many years struggleing to live with sleep deprivation. She also sees herself as a searcher. Recently she has been reading the ideas presented at the World Transformation Movement which contains interesting thought provoking biological explanations to questions about life.

Jaswant Singh frontrunner to be NDA's vice-president candidate: Sources

New Delhi:?A day before the NDA meets to finalise the name of its vice presidential candidate, sources have told NDTV that former union minister Jaswant Singh's name has emerged as the frontrunner to challenge UPA candidate Hamid Ansari in the August 7 polls.

According to sources, Mr Singh's name is likely to be announced tomorrow after the NDA meeting. However, sources also say, a section of the NDA is keen on putting up its convenor and Janata Dal (United) leader Sharad Yadav as the vice presidential candidate, a move that would ensure the party's support. JDU leader and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar had expressed his willingness to support UPA's candidate Mr Ansari. But he said, a final decision will be taken after the party leader Sharad Yadav attends the NDA meeting on Monday.

Earlier, BJP allies JD(U) and Shiv Sena had decided not to support PA Sangma as the presidential candidate despite NDA's announcement.

The BJP met on Saturday evening and decided to put up a challenger against Mr Ansari. According to sources, the BJP may field its own candidate if the NDA allies fail to reach a consensus on any name. Among its allies in NDA, Shiv Sena has already offered their support to any candidate finalised by the alliance.

However, sources also say that the BJP may throw its weight behind Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, who will decide her party's stand on vice presidential polls in the next two to three days. In the UPA meeting on Saturday, Trinamool representative Mukul Roy suggested names of former West Bengal Governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi and former Lok Sabha MP Krishna Bose, who is also the niece of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, as options for the vice presidential race. If Trinamool decides to field its own candidate, the BJP may offer support to increase its chances to put up a decent fight against the UPA candidate.

Before the UPA meeting last evening, the Prime Minister had phoned Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj and senior BJP leader LK Advani to solicit their support for Mr Ansari. Sources say the BJP has declined because of how Mr Ansari handled the Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha in December. (Read: UPA announces Hamid Ansari as vice presidential candidate)

Despite the BJP's decision to field a candidate, the vice presidential election is not likely to be a close one. UPA candidate Mr Ansari needs only 396 votes to win the contest. Even without Ms Banerjee's Trinamool Congress, the UPA easily has 444 MPs voting for him, which is more than enough to ensure a second term for Mr Ansari.
