NEW YORK (AP) - A Manhattan judge says he'll give the go-ahead to a $55 million settlement in a lawsuit that had challenged a plan to offer public shares in the Empire State Building.
Judge O. Peter Sherwood told lawyers in court Thursday that he'll approve the settlement in a written ruling.
The plaintiffs had accused the owners of the iconic skyscraper of misleading them about the financial impact of the proposed IPO.

New York's Empire State Building in midtown Manhattan is shown in this photo. A legal challenge to an ambitious plan to let the public buy shares in the famous landmark was cast aside Tuesday in a ruling by a Manhattan judge.
The two sides reached a settlement late last year. But objections by a small group of investors had delayed final approval.
Real estate magnates Peter Malkin and his son Anthony have sought to offer the public shares in their commercial holdings in the New York City area. The property includes the Empire State Building, the 102-story landmark completed in 1931.

The Centennials, who won northern Nevada's District 1 championship two weeks ago, were humbled in their tournament opener Saturday morning, falling 17-4 to Silverado. The Las Vegas club bashed nine home runs in the lopsided mercy-rule shortened four-inning affair.
The score was 4-1 through the first two innings, but Silverado broke the game open with an eight-run explosion in the third.
"They were really good," Sparks coach Ray Charles said of Silverado. "They hit the ball better than I've seen a team hit in a while. They got hot and the next thing you know, it gets away from you."
Sparks Centennial bounced back later in the day to pull out a 5-4 victory over eastern Nevada district champion Ruby Mountain.
The Centennials trailed 4-3 after four and a half innings but rallied for a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth and held on to capture the one-run win. In the fifth, Sparks loaded the bases after a walk to Seth McGrath, Casey Burfield reached on an error and Ryan Thackaberry was hit by a pitch. Next, Christian Carlson and Dylan Husted laced RBI singles to plate the tying and go-ahead runs.
Andrew Mayse was huge for the Sparks squad. Mayse came on to pitch in relief with two outs in the third. He finished the final three and a third innings en route to earning the pitching victory. He was charged with one run but allowed only two hits and struck out five while walking two.
"Andrew came in and threw strikes," Charles said. "We were hoping we wouldn't have to use a lot of pitchers, in that first game. Little League rules say if you throw one pitch, you're done for the day. So once we got down in that first game we had to try to manipulate our way through it. For Andrew to come through and throw like he did in that second game was huge. He definitely allowed us to have some arms for tomorrow. We're excited about that."
Ruby Mountain took the early lead with a run in the top of the first inning. However, Sparks answered with two runs of its own in the bottom of the frame. Carlson and Rylan Charles both singled and scored on a two-run double by Alex Padilla.
The 2-1 lead didn't last long. Ruby Mountain forged ahead 4-2 after it pushed across a trio of runs in the top of the third. Still, Sparks was unfazed. A solo homer by JT Skiver pulled the Centennials within one, 4-3, in the bottom of the third and set the stage for the local club's comeback in the fifth.
"After getting drilled like we did in the first game, to come back and play when we started off in 111 degree-heat, you just never know how the kids will handle that," Charles said. "To find a way to gut it out was good. We just had to find a way to gut it out. We really didn't play well in the first game, so it was pretty impressive for our kids to be able to pull it off in the second game."
Sparks plays again Sunday at 7 p.m.
*In other Sparks Centennial all-star action, its 11-12 year-old all-star softball team, competed in the Little League West Regional Saturday in San Bernardino, Calif.
Sparks, the Nevada state champion, dropped its tournament opener, falling in four innings after a mercy-rule defeat at the hands of Utah.
Utah responded early, posting six runs in the first inning. It was never really threatened. Utah added eight runs in the second inning and five in the fourth.
Bob Hilke was a bright spot for Sparks, collecting two of the local team's four hits in defeat.
Sparks Centennial gets in another pool play affair when it meets Hawaii Sunday at 11 a.m.

GREENWOOD — Blotting out memories of untimely spills in last year's slalom state championship meet, the girls of Greely and the boys of Falmouth sewed up Alpine state titles Wednesday afternoon at Mt. Abram.
Joseph Lesniak of Falmouth slams down a gate while competing in the slalom race Wednesday at the Class A skiing state championships at Mt. Abram. Lesniak finished fourth, helping the Yachtsmen capture overall and Alpine titles to go with the Nordic championship they won a day earlier.

Sophia Syrene of Marshwood nails a gate on her second run of the day. Greely captured the girls' Alpine title.
"To be back on top feels wonderful," said Greely junior Elyse Dinan, who led a 3-4-6-11 finish for the Rangers, moments after teammate Jordan Ouellette zipped across the finish line to complete Greely's victory.
Falmouth, which won the Nordic title Tuesday, collected its fourth straight overall boys' state title and second since moving up to Class A last winter.
The Oxford Hills girls, fourth in Nordic, overcame a 17-point deficit to squeak past Falmouth and win their first overall title in 36 years.
Both Falmouth and eight-time defending overall champion Mt. Blue mustered only three slalom skiers, so each acquired a "ghost skier" that ballooned their scoring totals.
Even with taking a ghost skier in both giant slalom and slalom, the Falmouth girls nearly pulled off an improbable victory. The winning margin for Oxford Hills was two points, 308-310.
"It feels awesome," said Oxford Hills senior Colleen Stauder, who placed seventh in slalom. "It's been since what, 1977? I'm so excited to be a part of something like that. It is fabulous."
Individually, Biddeford sophomore Curtis Paradis successfully defended his slalom title, and Edward Little senior Allarie Lever capped an unbeaten season with a slalom title to go along the giant slalom crown she won Tuesday.
"Last year, I fell in all four runs," said Lever, who fulfilled a personal goal of winning a state title she set as a sixth grader. "I'm more experienced now and I'm putting it all together."
Falmouth's boys won the four-event overall competition with a score of 148 to 296 for runner-up Mt. Blue. Falmouth also won the Alpine title, 64-158 over Oxford Hills.
"We were able to ski clean this time around," said Falmouth's Alpine coach, Tip Kimball. "We were very careful."
Paradis, who placed second in Tuesday's giant slalom, rallied Wednesday after placing third in his first run of the morning to post the fastest second run for a combined time of 1 minute, 17.72 seconds – about a third of a second better than Falmouth freshman Devereux Thomas.
"I just put it all into the finish," Paradis said. "I really went after it on the bottom part (of the course)."
Thomas and teammate Joseph Lesniak (fourth) finished among the top five, with Thomas Lesniak 12th and Cooper Lycan 14th.
Alex Gowen, a Falmouth senior, took the top time into the second run but straddled a gate and had to hike up the headwall before completing the course. He wound up 23rd.
"We tried to ski well, but smart," Gowen said, "not attacking like crazy."
Falmouth's girls took a 188-205 lead into the final day of competition, but Oxford Hills had a much stronger performance in Tuesday's giant slalom, with 65 points to Falmouth's 127. Members of the Vikings' Nordic team crowded around Stauder after her finish, lending the type of support often absent from programs with completely separate cross-country and downhill teams.
"Rarely do you intertwine the teams," Stauder said, "so this is a cool opportunity for us."
Falmouth had fashioned a lead with its first Class A Nordic title, 61-79 over Portland, with Oxford Hills a distant fourth at 140.
Krysia Lesniak and Alex Shapiro finished 8-9 for Falmouth and Margaret Coster was 31st, but that was it. Falmouth opened the season with five girls, but one transfered to a ski academy over the holiday break and the other is in Colorado on a long-planned family skiing vacation.
Because 74 girls finished the course Wednesday, Falmouth was given a score of 74 for its absent fourth skier. Ditto for Mt. Blue and Leavitt.
Greely, meanwhile, amassed only 57 total points in the two Alpine events to easily outdistance Edward Little, which finished with 138. Oxford Hills (168) was third, followed by Fryeburg Academy (172) and 10 other schools.
Teal Otley (fourth), Jill Booth (sixth) and Ouellette (11th) capped Greely's performance a year after both Dinan and Otley fell, allowing Mt. Blue to take the Alpine crown.
The Falmouth boys fell in similar fashion to Mt. Blue last winter. That remains the team's only loss in three seasons.
With a pair of 32-point scores in slalom and giant slalom to go along with 42 each in freestyle and classical, Falmouth remained below 50 in all four events, something no other Class A school managed even once in the boys' competition.
"We were much more consistent with our finishes," said Falmouth freshman Thomas Lesniak. "It's nice that both teams won. It's a better feeling for us."

Demolition Ball - Adrenaline Zone's inventive twist on team sports challenges players, daring groups of kids and corporate staff alike. In demolition ball, teams face off in a game that blends bumper-car crashing and lacrosse-like ball handling. As they veer into oncoming opponents and shoot goals to the beat of pulsing music and sound effects, live referees provide commentary on action-packed plays and each player's hairstyle. For a dose of on-foot competition, up to three teams can battle in the power-plant-themed laser-tag arena, where players target opponents with laser beams while darting between slate-gray barriers, hoping their foes will be disoriented by the flashing strobe lights. Players test their sneaking skills in The Heist—a museum-themed maze—dodging trip lasers as they attempt to steal a replica of the Mona Lisa without waking a sleeping Leonardo da Vinci.
Possibly the only National Football Conference team to escape the treacherous Oregon Trail unscathed, the St. Louis Rams boast dazzling versatility and hard-hitting prowess while mesmerizing fans like a time-lapse video of a beautiful caterpillar's transformation into a delicate hummingbird. With a seating capacity of approximately 66,000 fans, the Edward Jones Dome offers a convenient indoor climate and 73,000 square feet of AstroTurf maintained by a herd of electric sheep that only dreams about itself. This year, the Rams are led by rookie quarterback Sam Bradford–the 2010 NFL Draft's first overall pick–and a young core of supporting players that is buttressed by two-time Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson.
Originally invented by bored henchmen looking to pass the time at Doctor Berserko's secret Antarctic lair, hockey has since overtaken polo and unicycle jousting as America's pastime. Hop on the bandwagon with today's Groupon to see the St. Louis Blues play live at Scottrade Center as they simultaneously and oxymoronically out-cool and melt the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, March 16, at 7 p.m. Mezzanine tickets are in the mezz center [rows K–R] and mezz end low [rows B–J], and lower-level tickets are in the plaza end low [rows E–Q]. Check out the seating chart here. Kids three and younger get in free, though they are not guaranteed a seat, so bring along a lap or your dandling knee.
In 2009, while refereeing women's flat-track derby bouts, the founding fathers of the St. Louis GateKeepers realized they wanted a taste of the speed, adrenaline, and action found in competitive roller derby. The pair gathered a crew of like-minded skaters and, in November of that year, the GateKeepers held its first league practice. By the end of their 2012 season, the league had expanded to feature three teams, plus a travel team that defends St. Louis from out-of-town opponents hoping to claim the Arch as a trophy. Despite its expansion, the GateKeepers stands by its original mission to provide a league for the players, by the players, and welcomes men from all walks of life to try on the sport's sweat-soaked jerseys and multicolored bruises.
A creature with roots in Native American lore, the Piasa bird has survived antiquity in large part due to etchings found on limestone bluffs throughout Illinois. Under the banner of the mythical predator— most depictions lend it reptilian claws, fish-like scales, and mammalian fangs—the Illinois Piasa charge onto the field against Professional Arena Soccer League foes, stopping just short of actually eating their opponents. Founded in 1998, the PASL consists of 19 indoor-soccer squads throughout the United States; upon their league debut in the 2010–11 season, the Piasa won the Pro Frontier Division with a 9–3 record.

Mystery CJ Clutch Clatter and Dakota Four-Cylinder Exhuast Noise
Sometimes, readers are nice enough to share some information with me about certain topics.
Dan Lasich just sent me a link to a website, www.booksforcars.com, that really does have books for cars. In fact, they have just about anything you like when it comes to manuals-such as factory service manuals, owner's manuals, sales brochures, parts interchange manuals, and a host of others. It's well worth checking out. -Willie Worthy
Mystery CJ Clutch Chatter
Q I have an '85 Jeep CJ-7 with the 258ci six-cylinder engine and Borg-Warner T-5 manual transmission. There is a loud chatter noise coming from the clutch at speeds over 55 mph (tach reading around 2000 rpm), but only when gas is applied. It quiets and goes away when you let off the gas. I have a Centerforce Stage 2 clutch that I installed 1,000 miles ago, replacing the throw-out bearing but not the pilot bearing. What would cause this noise?
Matthew Krzeniak
Chicago, IL
A I am really not sure why the clutch should be making noise at highway speed and is (if I understand what you're saying) not making the noise at the same rpm and lower vehicle speed. Are you sure it's coming from the clutch and not the transmission? The T-5 is noted for having some bearing problems that will cause noise when in Fourth or Fifth gear, but usually the noise is foreshadowed by difficult shifting. Perhaps you can give me a few more clues?
Weird Dakota Four-Cylinder Exhaust Noise
Q I have a '97 Dakota with the four-cylinder engine. Yes, it is underpowered but I like the truck, so I just live with it. The problem I am having is an exhaust "puffing" sound. I think that it is coming from the exhaust manifold, but I'm not sure. Do you have any idea what this noise is and how can I fix it?
John Denver
Flagstaff, AZ
A This is a pretty common problem with the 2.5L engine that was used in both the 1996-99 Dakotas and various models of Jeeps from 1991 to 1999. It seems that the outer two studs on the exhaust manifold have a bad habit of shearing off. The bad news is that it's a lot of work to fix.
You have to remove both the intake and exhaust manifolds to have enough room to remove the broken studs. One trick is to weld a nut onto the broken stud, and while it's still hot, squirt the stud with a penetrating oil. The thermal shock of heating, when welding and cooling with the penetrating oil, really helps to loosen the bond of rust that is usually present. There are special stud-removal tools available-even Sears sells one. None of them are fun to use. The problem with welding the nut onto the stud is that you usually only get one chance, so the weld better be good. Otherwise, the stud usually becomes too hard to drill out.
Once the old studs are out and you're ready to install new ones, get the right ones from either your Jeep or Dodge dealer. I believe that they both use the same part number (p/n 06036193AA). Torque the new studs to 126 in/lb. An easy way to do that is by locking two nuts together on the studs' outer threads. Before you put it all together, you might want to consider elongating the outer holes on the intake manifold so that it can expand and contract without putting pressure on the studs. Torque all the bolts, starting with the center bolts and working outward.

I love cowls. I didn't used to like them but after I made one for the first time I was hooked. There quick and easy to knit, faster than a scarf and serve the same purpose.

JWoww Engaged: Jersey Shore Star Confirms Roger Mathews Proposal, Shows Off Rock!by Free Britney at .
We reported last week that JWoww and Roger Mathews are engaged, but wouldn't be revealing it until the second season of Snooki & JWoww, for which the proposal was filmed.
We were half right. JWoww's engaged and confirming it to In Touch!
The Jersey Shore star tells the celebrity gossip magazine that she's marrying her boyfriend of two years. According to JWoww (real name Jenni Farley), she wanted a ring to match her man:
"Roger's not an average-looking guy, he's huge: his personality, his size [6'4"]. So I always said, 'I want my ring like you ... big! The bigger the better!'" she said, and he delivered.
Roger Mathews busted out the mega-bling after a skydiving session where a handwritten sign awaited them at the bottom asking for JWoww's hand in marriage.
Yes ... he jumped out of a plane with that thing.
"The whole time I'm screaming, 'What are you doing? What's going on?'" she recalled after the fact. "He's like, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Will you allow me to?'
In case you care or have any idea what this means, the ring features a cushion cut diamond that's over 5 carats, swimming wreath of 2.5 carats of pink and white diamonds and set in white gold.
In a word ... WOWW.

Wow... Some people are so jealous! I know what its like to be a lil envious, its human nature... Control it! All these "men" posting comments talkin trash about another man? Get real, any of you would love to trade places with roger... The further you are from actually being able to accomplish what he has,the more angry you get! So i can imagine what you look like and the quality of your life... (for those really harsh commenting haters) ; )
My ring is bigger and a lot prettierthan that one. My husband isabsolutely tall, gorgeous and extremely rich. He always has been, as hebegan life as the son of an oil scion, so maybe you should just shut your ignorant mouth, as obviously you do not know the first thing about me.Also, what kind of common trash uses a phrase like "banging" in regard to an engagement ring? Does your trailer park have more idiots like you infesting the place?Does the management call an exterminator to rid the trailer park of common pests such as yourself? I'm glad I'm not trash like you are, Miss "Banging"/Total Trash. I'm really sorry for you. Growing up as trash must have been so hard and pitiful for you. Sucks to be you.
Why do you have to hate casue she is using the word "banging?" Why are you hating on the girl i live in the hood but cause i live in the hood doesn't make me trash i don't talk ghetto i talk proper and i know how to spell i got class babyand you a damn lie about you'r so call husband been rich and you having so much money that's a lie so grow up and leave the girl alone

Our Kerala Houseboat Cruises from Alappuzha
These are our backwater cruises that start off from Alappuzha (Allepey) in the Backwaters. Traditionally, this was the classic start point for a cruise from the increasingly overcrowded and chaotic jetties beside the town on Punnamada canal. Most of the better boats have rejected those conditions and so boats set out from different points, but we can pick up from Alappuzha as required.

Final Decision Expected 'Very Soon'
TELLURIDE – Producers of a highly anticipated new Hallmark original television series pushed the pause button on preparations to film their show near Telluride earlier this month, but according to Telluride Mayor Stu Fraser, the show now "appears to be moving ahead … and they are going to supposedly start to work on it next week."
Site selection and budget have been two big hold-ups, said Fraser, who has been deeply involved in recruiting the family-friendly historical drama When Calls the Heart to the Telluride area. The show is similar in concept to Little House on the Prairie, but is set in a mining town.
Over the past few months, show producers with Frontier Productions have evaluated almost 20 sites in Dolores and San Miguel counties as potential locations for the set for the show, ranging from the old Idarado tailings pile on the east end of Telluride to several sites in the Ilium Valley to locations near Ames and Lizard Head Pass.
Recently, Fraser said, the ghost town of Alta just south of Telluride has emerged as the newest top contender as home to the 1910-era reproduction of the historic Town of Telluride. The area is privately owned by Hewlett-Packard CEO and Telluride region homeowner Meg Whitman.
Colorado Film Commissioner Donald Zuckerman, whose incentive program helped draw the series to the state from Canada, said there is also one other potential new location in the Telluride area under consideration.
Other desirable locations near Telluride that were under consideration have run into "typical 'Not In My Back Yard' problems," Zuckerman said. "It's been hard finding something that would work."
The longer it has taken to settle on a location for the show, the more front-loaded the production costs have become – so much so that producers retreated from their previous "full steam ahead" mode in order to execute a cost analysis and resolve their budgetary concerns, Fraser said.
"Word was out that maybe it was over and it wasn't going to happen," said Fraser late last week. "But Zuckerman is working with the producers, and they are confident they will be able to resolve their issues."
Neither Fraser nor Zuckerman nor the show's executive producer Brian Bird of Frontier Productions would definitively say earlier this week whether the program would still be filmed in Telluride.
"We hope to have a final decision about Telluride very soon," Bird said Monday. By Tuesday, that decision appears to have been made. Just prior to delivering a report on the uncertain status of the project at the Telluride Town Council meeting, Fraser happened to check his email and found a message from the producers that "it seems to be coming together."
"It would appear that it is happening," Fraser said. "There have been so many ups and downs, we just keep working on it. That's all you can do."
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, in Telluride over the weekend to attend the Venture Accelerator conference and to check out The Ride Festival, spent quite a bit of time discussing the status of project with Fraser, and what it means for Colorado and its new film incentive program.
Hickenlooper has been a great supporter of the project; he hosted a press conference in June at the state capitol, at which Hallmark executives and producers with Frontier Productions announced with great fanfare that the show would be filmed in the vicinity of Telluride. There seemed to be a general consensus at that time that the set would be built in the Ilium Valley. Producers scrapped their original idea of using a Superfund mining reclamation site owned by the Idarado Mining Company and controlled by San Miguel County as a potential site after learning they'd have to get permission from 37 landowners in the area.
One of the problems with the Ilium Valley location, Fraser said, has been that "what the producers really wanted was the San Miguel Valley Corporation's property and they [SMVC] weren't interested in doing that."
Alternative property in Ilium Valley offered by San Miguel County had issues of its own, including complications stemming from a historic railroad grade which the San Miguel County Historical Society sought to protect.
At press time, an exact location where the set for the television project will be built had still not been disclosed. "They will probably not build the full set, and may use existing practical locations," Fraser said, adding that the producers have recently received a commitment from Hallmark to fund 10 episodes of the show to start out, up from the original six.
The process of wooing the television project to Telluride has provided a valuable learning curve for the town, Fraser said.
"I think it probably has taught us some lessons on how in the future we should have local government representatives on the Telluride Film Commission, someone from each jurisdiction," he said.

I went to the Muscat Fashion Show with my D3s and 200 VRII on a strictly very personal shoot.
At the end of the show one of the Designers approaches me and ask if they could get my pictures.
I offered the pics free of charge as I am not a commercial photographer.
Couple of weeks later, I get a call from Faces magazine who wanted to get my pictures for a feature article on this particular Fashion Show.
One week later, my pic is on the cover of the magazine and some 20 pics included in the main magazine feature!
And I am not even a commercial photographer, I simply direct, commission and purchase photography on a professional level.
I have ordered the D4 and the D800 + D800E and surely will be seized by the guys at the office.
The rest of the money has been reserved for charity. (you have also to give a litle sometime)
The story does not end here as two of the designers are chasing me up to do their collections!
So there you go, the turns and twists of life.
Well deserved! Great photos!!!

Big fan of: People! Ghost loves every person he meets.
Not a fan of: Some dogs. Ghost also feels uncomfortable when people are near his food.
Special features: Ghost might not be housetrained, but with confinement and supervision, we think he'll learn to use the bathroom outside very quickly in his new home.
Other reasons he's special: Ghost had a condition called laryngeal paralysis, meaning that occasionally the larynx doesn't move appropriately which inhibits respiration. While Ghost has undergone surgical correction for this condition, there's a chance it could reoccur. He should be kept in a cool environment during the warmer months, and his exercise should be limited.
Dream home: Ghost would do best in a teens-and-up home with an experienced adopter.

AAC honors Lady Buffs' Kelly
Milligan's Kayla Kelly was named Appalachian Athletic Conference's women's basketball player of the week Monday afternoon.
"Kayla is off to a great start this year," Lady Buffs coach Rich Aubrey said. "We're very pleased for her to receive this honor."
Kelly helped lead the Buffs to a 2-0 record last week as Milligan opened AAC play with wins over Virginia Intermont and Montreat. The junior guard poured in a career-high 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds against Montreat as she shot 42 percent from the floor, including a 3-for-5 performance behind the 3-point line.
In the Buffaloes' other game, Kelly had 17 points and six rebounds. Overall, she averaged 23 points, 6.5 rebounds and two assists per game.
Milligan is 7-2 overall and 2-0 in AAC play.
Kelly and company return to action today at UVA-Wise. Tip-off is set for 5:30 p.m.

I've had CS4 for a coulple years. I've always been able to open a collection, choose manual sort from the drop down, drag/drop photos around to the order I like, leave the collection, return to the collection and see that my sort order was preserved. Now, anytime I leave the collection to go to a different collection or to a folder the manual sort order is lost when I return to the collection. I have Windows Vista. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall CS4. CS4 had the latest updates at the time the issue started. The only thing I can think of is that maybe an automatic Windows update broke it. Thoughts?
Could you please try this:
Open Bridge, and open an Explorer and browse to [osdisk]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\UserSort, let the two windows show out.
Change the sorting manually in one collection, check whether a file UserSort *.xml in Explorer is updated (Date modified value is changed)? And when you navigate out the folder, any change to that file?
Bridge QE
Thank you for trying to assist. This is very important to me. I've actually stopped using CS4 until this is resolved. Here is what I found:
I had to show hidden files in the folder. When I reached the folder there are 130 user sort files. The last one UserSort128.xml was created on 5/17/11. When I manually sort a single photo by moving it in a collection two new files UserSort129.xml and UserSort130.xml are immeditely created. However, the sort order is not preserved.
I'm not sure if its relevant but I checked the folder where the picture I moved is located and that folder does not contain a BridgeSort file.
Please provide next steps.
Thank you,
Hi Scott,
The sorting in a collection will not create a BridgeSort file in the real folder of the files. The sorting in a collection is recorded in the UserSort*.xml. In my test, when changing file sorting in a collection, a UserSort*.xml will be created(if it does not exist before). When you exit Bridge, the UserSort*.xml should still be there and last modified time should keep as the final time you adjusted the sorting in the collection.
Could you please check whether the UserSort129.xml and UserSort130.xml keep there after you quit Bridge?
Bridge QE
Yes. I closed bridge and turned off the computer. When I return the files are still there.
Hello. Any other ideas?
Thank you,
If you do the same operation with a folder will the manual sort stay?
I am using CS5 and it does. Don't use collections so can say about those.
In general if if worked before and it does not now, and you have not made any hardware or software changes, I would reset the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on Bridge start icon. You will get a reset window with 3 options.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge will not affect this file.
It seems that its started working again after a few weeks of being broken. I had not yet tried resetting the settings as suggested. However, I did go to a folder and try manual sorting. It worked. Then I tried it with collections and it worked. So either it fixed iteself sooner for some other reason (e.g., I installed an adobe flash update this morning), or possibly using manually sort in folders fixed it. Impossible to say. What I should have done was confirmed that it was still broken before I tried your suggestions. In any case thank you for your help. I'm so glad its fixed. I just hope it stays that way.
Hi, I've been having the same problems for several months on and off and could not find anything on exactly how to fix this -- extremely frustrating, as I use collections on a regular basis for our business. It's very time consuming to rearrange 100+ photos each time. But what I find helpful is to create a "contact sheet" of the collection, so that I can put them back in the same order. I know that's not a fix, but it helps.
Anyway, I wanted to share my discovery from today...
So the other day I created some collections and everything was working fine, but today I opened up the collection and yep, the same thing happened. This time instead of going ahead and manually rearranging the photos, I decided to try the Manual Sort -- of course it didn't work, but when I tried it a second time, it worked. I went into another collection and tried the same thing... it worked. Then I went back to the original collection and it was all out of order again, so I tried the double sort technique and IT WORKED AGAIN!!!
So the answer is 2x in a row!!! I don't know if this is a fluke, but thought I'd share and maybe help someone else.
Your last post indicated that your collections were manually sorting again -- but my guess is that it didn't last:)
Using Mac version in case that matters...

Sharia courts conquer UK - Comments
Religion is not a crutch, a security blanket, a thumb to suck nor a skirt to hold (a nod to Asimov). It is the basis of all our morals, all that is good, all that is just, all that lifts mankind to greater and better morality. The fact that most of its adherents are skum sucking dip sticks is irrelevant, immaterial and beside the point.
The fact that its leaders are power hungry, misogynistic dipsticks, is immaterial. The fact that the movement wants to impose their world view on everyone else in the world is irrelevant. They must be respected.
What could possibly be wrong with the good muslims operating their own courts? What?

Someone correct me if I am wrong but these are OFFICIAL courts operating under the 1996 Arbitration Act. So that if both parties agree to the arbitration (yeah right if you are a woman…) then whatever decision the arbitration court makes is legally binding under full British law. Thus it is Sharia Law MANDATED by British Law.

How on earth can you have any though of equality under the law when you allow subgroups within society to create their own. If you do not submit to and abide by the laws of a country then you should not be part of it. You should lose all your social welfare and voting rights or better yet be deported.

It seems as though Britain is taking gradual and incremental steps towards becoming an Islamic state. With ultra high Muslim fertility rates/ immigration, and low integrations rates, the native population is basically doomed. Meanwhile, the small, yet consistent, changes they do impose politically and culturally are significant enough to make headlines, but gradual enough to get away with on a regular basis. Genius!!
I feel sorry for the next few generations who will have to clean up the mess if they're not already strapped in burquas and brainwashed into reciting quaranic scripture 25 times a day after the Islamic educational reform arrives.. oh wait, it already has!

Consciousness raising is required here.
Sharia is a form of abuse on human rights and on women in particular.
It needs to be called what it is: Sharia ABUSE.
As such, it should not be allowed in any civilized country.

Some years ago the shahria court idea was proposed in Ontario, Canada. There was a huge outcry over this, to the point that the Premier was not only forced to say this would never happen in Ontario, but to then terminate all existing religion-based courts. This includes the jewish ones, which had operated for years.
I have been unable to find any news references to sharia courts in the other Canadian provinces.

In the US this obscenity might be allowed as a form of legal arbitration.
I don't know if there is a minimum legal requirement to practice arbitration but that would merely be an obstacle rather than an absolute restriction of religious laws being imposed on "willing" participants in civil matters.
That these religious leaders wish to (or find it their responsibility to) sit in judgment should scare the crap out of anyone living in a society with a half-way decent legal system. (which begs the counter-point: do we have a half-way decent legal system?)

I agree with thomas guihen.
Britain is not on the way to becoming an Islamic state, and the demographic arguments are alarmist nonsense. There have been Muslim communities in the UK for centuries, and over that period the majority have integrated and accept UK law and democratic principles.
The problem here is not that Shariah law will have any impact on the majority, but that it can be used to oppress people within the Muslim cultures that use it.
Adults should be able to come to just about any consensual agreements they like. The problem is having a parallel legal system endorsed by UK law. There is a simple principle here: access to legal rights should not be a cultural lottery, and provision of legal services should be uniform and consistent.

I am a very tolerant fellow. I don't support things like public burqa bans, for example.
But, reading that article (assuming it is true):
"Special sessions have been introduced for Muslims, when all other swimmers have to conform."
That is going too far. That is unacceptable. If individuals want to wear what they like, that is up to them. But imposing this rule on others is not fair, not reasonable and not integration. It is authoritarian.

Well this is a rather uniformed and unintelligent statement. Early symptoms of Alzheimers, Steve?
The problem with Sharia is that it is fundamentally cruel and evil, and particularly so towards women... stoning women for adultery, cutting off hands for stealing, threatening lashes to a teacher for naming a teddy bear Mohamed(!!), being KILLED FOR CHANGING ONES MIND, etc ,etc, etc...in America these would be called cruel and unusual punishments and I would assume would not be allowed by virtue of the 8th amendment -- though I am not a lawyer.

I have no problem with people and businesses utilizing private arbitration of whatever kind to resolve disputes, so long as they choose to be contractually bound by the rules and outcomes of the arbitrator and so long as the real courts do NOT give the force of law to illegal contracts. One cannot create an enforceable contract whereby one person permits another to commit a battery or "give" one's child in marriage before the child is of legal age, for example. The decisions of private arbitrators should never be a defense to violations of civil or criminal law.
I would guess that the would-be divorcees who submit to these courts do so in order to get the blessing of their families to proceed with the divorce. With the approval of the Sharia court, a Muslim woman has a chance to get a divorce and move on with her life. Without it, I suspect she is likely to be ostracized or worse. It seems to me to be similar to a Catholic seeking an annulment.

I expect something like this will happen, since the annoucements of two pronged attacks of wahabis: soft approaches through parlementers, the hard core approaches of terrorism, and things in between.
The hard core approaches help the soft cores, and vice versa. These operations has been successful in many democratic slightly autocratic) systems (, like Egypt, Turkey, and Indonesia. The terrors remind everybody that "we are here to stay", the soft-cores worked behind the surface to cement changes legally. The publicly approved faces of the soft-cores somewhat legitimize the hard-cores. In longer terms most of open societies are doomed against these attacks.
I would say this social insurgencies are worthy of the comintern in the past.
Now, the interesting thing is this British variation, is it indeed a provision in British law to have independent courts? (supposedly approved by their adherents). I am no lawyer, even more the British laws are very opaque.
Anybody can answer the question above? Can this kind of things be 'legal' under British law?
If it is, this would be a new development, maybe will be of interest among the British-law camps of democracies in the world (India, Singapore etc).
well ....

thomas guihen --
Are you joking or are you just uneducated?
Accommodation is a form of acceptance. Hence my question -- are you a misogynist?
The rights of women to not be abused must trump any religious freedoms.
The first step is to stop being accommodating and start recognizing the abuses Sharia perpetuates.
One should not even have to be in a position to accommodate Sharia -- it should be made illegal in England.
But it will NEVER be made illegal if you appease and accommodate it.

Sharia (and religions in general) need to be treated like mental diseases that have infected otherwise sane and good people. This is why Christianity has to go along with Islam and Judaism. These people are all sick, and they all need treatment and sympathy from us while they recover from their delusions and/or brainwashing.

Comment 30 by Goldy
Does it matter if people want to use shariah courts? Really? If it's the subjugation of women that worries people, there are laws in the land that protect them. Indeed, they reach even to the Muslim lands.
Shariah affects those that want it, not those that don't use them. I dare say the numbers of second and third generation Muslims prefer to use lawyers and the proper courts in most cases and use shariah to tackle the small issues. Certainly beth Din courts don't seem to have ripped the fabric of British society and I do believe they've been used for centuries...
Scaremongering by the press, I think it is. And a useful political tool.
Seems to be working, mind. There is a backlash coming...
