Street lights
1:50 am
Wed January 5, 2011
More bad light poles in Seattle
Seattle's ongoing inspection of streetlights has turned up more dangerous structures. But city officials insist the potential harm to people and pets is minimal.
Seattle City Light began testing all 30 thousand metal lights and sidewalk covers after a dog was electrocuted on Queen Anne Hill in November. The metal plate the dog stepped on was emitting 90 volts of electricity. Frayed wires were the problem.
The latest round of inspections in West Seattle and the International district have turned up problems similar to the one on Queen Anne—dangerous levels of electricity being emitted from light poles and covers. Suzanne Hartman, with Seattle City Light, says people shouldn't be alarmed.
"In each case we sent a crew out and they de-energized the pole immediately. I think the good thing to remember here is that we are proactively doing the testing and we're finding these and no additional injuries have occurred to a pet or to a human," Hartman said.
Hartman says the city is about halfway through with its inspection. She says, by industry standards, the number of problems found is actually fairly low. It's less than one per thousand)
In the case of the electrocuted dog, not only were there frayed wires, but the grounding system didn't work either. Once all the streetlight wiring is checked out, Mayor Mike McGinn has pledged to look into the grounding systems on all the lights as well. It could take up to 10 years.
The Mayor says the city may also limit the type of decorative street lights allowed. Such lights are often installed in neighborhoods to make them more pedestrian friendly, but the Mayor says it's resulted in a lack of standardization and makes it harder for the city to maintain them.

A bare-breasted protester with an inscription on her body that reads "Life In Plastic Is Not Fantastic" yells protest slogans while holding up a burning cross with a Barbie doll attached to it outside the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience on Thursday in Berlin, Germany. / Sean Gallup, Getty Images
BERLIN (AP) - It probably wasn't the reception Barbie was hoping for at the start of her European tour.
Feminist protesters burned a doll on a cross and left-wing demonstrators shouted "pink stinks" at the Berlin opening of a life-sized Barbie house Thursday.
They far outnumbered Barbie fans who came to see the Mattel toy's fictional Malibu home.
Security guards swiftly ejected the protesters from the site, which is tucked away behind socialist high rises, railroad tracks and a shopping center near the city's gritty Alexanderplatz.
The "Barbie Dreamhouse" in Berlin is the second such theme house after a similar one opened recently in Florida.
It will remain in the German capital until August before going on tour around Europe.

Temp: 41° F
- Game info: 10:30 pm EST Fri Dec 25, 2009
A marquee Christmas matchup between the Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets may lose some luster if Portland's Brandon Roy(notes) and Denver's Chauncey Billups(notes) are both out.
It's unclear if either guard will be available Friday night when the Northwest Division rivals meet for the second time this season.
Roy started every game for Portland (19-12) before missing Wednesday's 98-94 win at San Antonio with a left shoulder problem. The All-Star guard averages a team-high 22.2 points, and an MRI on the shoulder did not reveal any tears Thursday.
Billups has missed the last three games for Denver (20-9) with a groin strain, but he could be back Friday. The former NBA finals MVP worked out before Wednesday's 124-104 home win over Atlanta and believes he is close to returning.
"It's basically a game-time decision," Billups told the Nuggets' official Web site. "I'm definitely feeling better. If I wasn't, I wouldn't even think about playing."
Portland and Denver both finished with 54-28 records a season ago, with the Nuggets winning the division due to a tiebreaker. The Trail Blazers, though, have more injury problems besides Roy.
Centers Greg Oden(notes) and Joel Przybilla(notes) are both out for the season. Oden was already out with a left knee injury before the Trail Blazers announced Thursday that Przybilla had season-ending surgery to repair a ruptured right patella tendon suffered in Tuesday's win at Dallas.
Veteran Juwan Howard(notes) made his first start in the middle in Wednesday's win and had 12 points and 12 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double. Howard has logged more than 30 minutes the last two games for the first time all season.
Portland is also without forwards Travis Outlaw(notes) (foot) and Nicolas Batum(notes) (shoulder) and guard Rudy Fernandez(notes) (back).
The Trail Blazers and Nuggets both had players that are normally backups step up Wednesday in the absence of Roy and Billups.
Second-year guard Jerryd Bayless(notes) made his first career start a memorable one with a career-high 31 points to key Portland's third straight win. Bayless scored a total of 25 points over his three previous games.
"Even with Brandon and with all these injuries - and we need Brandon back - I think we can still win games," Bayless said.
The Blazers have gotten solid production during the win streak from LaMarcus Aldridge(notes), who is averaging 21.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in that span.
Denver won for the first time with Billups out thanks in part to reserve J.R. Smith's(notes) season-high 41 points Wednesday. Smith made 10 3-pointers - one shy of his franchise record set April 13 against Sacramento.
"It's great to have a player that can take over and end a game like J.R. has done," coach George Karl said. "There's no question he was in a zone, but we need J.R. to be the complete player and work on other aspects of his game."
Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony(notes), leading the league with 30.3 points per game, scored 41 in a 97-94 win at Portland on Oct. 29. Anthony had 19 of Denver's 35 fourth-quarter points.
Roy led the Blazers with 30 points in that game.
Denver has lost four straight on the road while Portland has won its last three at home.

Say Something Lyrics
I'll be the one, if you want me to.
Anywhere, I would've followed you.
Say something, I'm giving up on you.
And I am feeling so small.
It was over my head
I know nothing at all.
And I will stumble...
anonymous Nov 26th, 11:12am report
When your having trouble in a relationship and you know that things are coming to an end but you want so badly to hang and make it work. You want to be "the one" for them but only if they want to accept you as theirs. You will do anything for them, follow them wherever they go but they wont do the same. You feel like you're the only one in the relationship trying to make it work. It seems like the other person has no hope but you want them to say something, anything to make you stay and keep on fighting. All these overwhelming feelings make you feel so small. Going into the relationship you didn't know what you were getting your self into. You have never loved like this before, there are going to be obstacles, you will stumble and fall but you will learn and keep going. After all the pleading and asking them to stay you just cant keep going, you are finally giving up, you are sorry that you couldn't get them to stay. I love you but I need to swallow my pride, accept defeat, and say goodbye.
anonymous Dec 6th, 12:58pm report
This song expresses exactly what I just went through - a very complex relationship. We found each other at the wrong time of life. He was the "one". I loved him so much, but he used a self defense mechanism (put up some walls) that destroyed the loved we have built; I was forced to let go and had no option but to say goodbye with my silence. I will always love you (D) even in my silence. Beautiful song.
anonymous Mar 3rd, 20:59 report
I am not sure exactly what this is meant for, but the reason I love this song so much is that it can be anything any situation thats whats amazing to me. I love this song so much and the writer was incredibly amazing!!!!!
anonymous Mar 2nd, 06:57 report
I believe this is a song about saving the world, how some don't know the real truth, and the ones that do feel so small that do feel like they can't change it individually. How we would've followed our country anywhere, until it turned its back. Say something referring to to speak up only we the people can make a real difference.... I also believe this is why the band is named A Great Big World. :-)
anonymous Feb 28th, 16:48 report
To me it's a song about loving someone and just never knowing how they feel about you. So because you never know the relationship just crumbles and you give up.
anonymous Feb 26th, 2:55am report
I love this song and it is sad in so many ways. I guess the lyrics are left to interpretation depending on what you are going thru at the moment you hear it. It is a powerful song!
anonymous Feb 25th, 2:55pm report
An emotional mash-up lyrically (say somethingi'm giving up...) and hauntingly reinforced by the off-kilter syncopated meter that makes each line feel undone and the song itself (and the relationship) rationally ended but forever unover. Like that haunting love of your life not meant to be or ever unrequited. Saddest and most beautiful song ever may be.
anonymous Feb 22nd, 2:34pm report
A break up, that they find out that how much they love each other but don't want to be with each other.
anonymous Feb 12th, 2:47pm report
I believe this is about a friendship that wants to become more. The duet signifies that it could be either person in the relationship, just wishing the other would speak up about their feelings. One is desperately in love with the other (let's say it's the guy), but has no idea how she feels about him, so he might act weird around her. Perhaps he's given subtle hints that she hasn't picked up on but he wants her to speak up, because he can't take being in love with her if she doesn't have the same feelings. And if she doesn't, he won't be able to watch her date other guys, and maybe fall in love with someone else, so he has to separate himself from her. So if she doesn't say something, he has to give up on her because it will break his heart.
I hope that made sense - it did in my head when I thought of it... -
anonymous Feb 7th, 2:26pm report
It's about someone who is in love with an Addict. (drugs or alcohol)
Someone who is finally realizing that their loved one's addiction is too big for them ("I'm feeling so small.) and they can't / don't know how to fix it ("I know nothing at all" "I'll swallow my pride" "I'm still learning to crawl")
The songwriter is feeling guilty for not being able to help or "fix" the addict ("I'm sorry I couldn't get to you.")
And they realize that the only thing left to do is give up on the addict - as painful as it is.
Anyone who's been in that situation recognizes these emotions instantly when they hear the song. -
brokenheart407 Feb 5th, 2:13pm report
honestly i dont really know what the song is about but i know that everytime that the old couple comes on in the video i cry everyt time.. i am just going to guess at this and say that the song is about a couple that are having a bad time and the guy or girl wants to make it work but in the end she finally gives up??
anonymous Feb 2nd, 2:50pm report
I have been a part from my partner of 5 years for a month now I have been dying.I can't eat sleep nothing.I never thought we'd be apart .A few drunk texts were sent back and fourth along with text s with me saying goodbye as I felt he had made no effort so I looked as if I was strong. I WAS really crying out come home):.He just sent me this song and I don't quite know how to take it.Is he saying goodbye or does he want me to say something to fix it. I'm so lost):
anonymous Feb 2nd, 2:47pm report
This is my younger self or even my earlier life talking to me.I have nothing to say because I left myself down.Nothing's left,I have no hope left.If my younger self could see what I have become they would get dissapointed and ask for a reason.And I have nothing to say.
anonymous Feb 2nd, 2:25pm report
"and I am feeling so small" this means to me having overwhelming feelings for someone and not knowing how to handle them. Not being able to do anything with all those feelings just makes you feel so small. You have to let go because you know you have to move forward but you don't want to and you haven't been able to.
anonymous Feb 2nd, 2:09am report
this song is trying to convey a toxic relationship that is one sided one partner is doing all they can to make the relationship work and they found out the other partner was cheating so the other partner is saying say somewthing or im givin up on you and im sorry that i coundnt get to you means im sorry im sorry im not the one.
anonymous Feb 1st, 2:21pm report
I believe this song is about either a breakup or a divorce, but most importantly, it can be about losing somebody to a mental illness or something that can't quite be cured; for example, some form of cancer like leukemia. It could also be about losing someone due to a murder or suicide. It can also be about shutting someone out. Also, it can be about losing a child, either due to miscarriage or stillbirth or an illness. "Say something, I'm giving up on you" can be interpreted many, many ways depending on the situation.
anonymous Jan 31st, 1:25am report
The love that I have for my man. That when we argue and he ignores my every word. I feel that if he doesn't say something that he's is starting to push me away and is causing me to give up on our love. Of course we are going to stumble and fall that's what makes our relationship stronger. But if we don't say something then we will be forced to give up on our love. Need to communicate more and don't judge just listen. Thank you for blessing me with Jeff for whom I love and always will. I love you and please don't let me give up on you. So say something!

Hilton Montréal Bonaventure Review
Two and a half acres of rooftop gardens and an open-air swimming pool set the Hilton apart from the usual corporate hotels, and make it a great place to take the family. The interior—with dark-wood furniture, downy bedding, granite countertops, and Cuisinart coffeemakers—will make you forget the Brutalist concrete facade. High-tech cardio machines fill the 24-hour gym, while the glassed-in executive lounge pampers business guests, who enjoy a big breakfast, newspapers, snacks, a kids' play area and a private terrace. Ask for the $40 upgrade to an executive room, it's worth it. Conventioneers and tourists like the location—right on top of the Place Bonaventure exhibition center, with easy access to the métro and the Underground City.

The National Institute of Standards (NIST), in conjunction with public and private sector stakeholders, has called on the healthcare community to help evaluate electronic health records (EHRs), examine the human factors that are crucial to their design, and assist with guidance on the development of usability engineering practices. An October 27 webcast focused on NIST's recently released Technical Evaluation, Testing, and Validation of the Usability of Electronic Health Records, draft guidelines that review the rationale for an EHR usability protocol (EUP). The guidelines outline procedures for expert evaluation of an EHR user interface from clinical and human factors best-practices perspectives.

Sherwood Charles Schwartz (November 14, 1916 – July 12, 2011)[1] was an American television producer. He worked on radio shows in the 1940s, and created the television series Gilligan's Island on CBS and The Brady Bunch on ABC. On March 7, 2008, Schwartz, at the time still active in his 90s, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[2]
Schwartz's entertainment career came "by accident". He relocated from New York to southern California to pursue a master of science degree in biology. In need of employment, he began writing jokes for Bob Hope's radio program, for which Schwartz's brother, Al Schwartz, worked. Schwartz recalled that Hope "liked my jokes, used them on his show and got big laughs. Then he asked me to join his writing staff. I was faced with a major decision—writing comedy or starving to death while I cured those diseases. I made a quick career change."[3]
He went on to write for Ozzie Nelson's The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and other radio shows. Schwartz was a writer on the Armed Forces Radio Network before he got his break in television. He went on to create and produce Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch. He wrote the theme song for three of his shows: Gilligan's Island (co-wrote), It's About Time, and The Brady Bunch.
Syndication turned his two major successes into TV institutions with cultural relevance. He made them icons, and as a result he became a television icon.[4]
During the late 1990s and the 2000s, he made many appearances on TV talking about his series, on shows such as the CBS Evening News, 20/20, TV Land's Top Ten and A&E's Biography. He also took part in a "Creators" marathon on Nick at Nite in the late 1990s.[5] He was also a guest at the 2004 TV Land Awards.
In 1988, Schwartz appeared on The Late Show with Ross Shafer for a Gilligan's Island reunion, along with all seven castaways from Gilligan's Island. This was the last time they were all together on television.
Schwartz was born in Passaic, New Jersey to a Jewish family.[6][dead link] His parents were Herman and Rose Schwartz. He is a younger brother of writer, Al Schwartz. His younger brother, Elroy Schwartz (1923-2013), a comedy writer, became a principal screenwriter for Gilligan's Island and other series.[7] Sherwood Schwartz is the uncle of Douglas Schwartz, Bruce Schwartz and Judithe Randall.
On 23 December 1941 he married his wife of 69 years Mildred which he considered his greatest accomplishment and together they had four children (3 sons and 1 daughter) Donald who became an ophthalmologist, Lloyd (Lloyd J. Schwartz), Ross, who became an attorney and Hope. Sherwood's play, Rockers, a comedy-drama had a production at Theatre West in honor of his 90th birthday.
On a Robin Hood-themed episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, a character states that Sherwood Forest is a relative of Sherwood Schwartz. Also, a Roseanne episode was entirely devoted to Gilligan's Island and was titled "Sherwood Schwartz: A Loving Tribute". In Raising Hope, Sherwood is indirectly mentioned during the opening scene of the second season as someone who "started each day with a song that perfectly recapped what was going on". Then she points to an empty chair with a Gilligan-type sailor cap on it. During the episode, the main character, Jimmy, loses his memory and his doctor advises him that unlike a sitcom, memory can't be regained by hitting someone on the head again and uses an episode of Gilligan's Island to illustrate the point.
Schwartz was portrayed by Aaron Lustig in the TV movie Surviving Gilligan's Island and by Michael Tucker in Growing Up Brady.
Wikinews has related news: American television producer Sherwood Schwartz dies aged 94 |
On July 12, 2011, Sherwood Schwartz died peacefully in his sleep of natural causes. He is survived by his wife of nearly 70 years, Mildred Schwartz and their four children: Donald, Lloyd (the creator of The Munsters Today), Ross, and Hope (wife of Laurence Juber; reportedly named after Bob Hope). He is also survived by eight grandchildren: Juli, Jill, Jackie, Andy, Becky, Nico, Ilsey, and Elliot as well as four great-grandchildren: Rachel, Sarah, Evan and Aidan.[8]
Schwartz produced a number of radio and TV shows during his career.

"It's one world, and we all have to learn to live with each other."[citation needed]

Etihad's first Emirati women pilots graduate
Abu Dhabi, October 19, 2009
The first female Emirati cadet pilots from Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the UAE, have graduated from flight training alongside nine male colleagues and gained their airline transport pilot licence (ATPL).
The cadet pilots Etihad's second group to graduate, which included Salma Al-Baloushi and Aisha Al-Mansouri, were conferred with their flying wings in a ceremony at the airline's training academy.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' chief executive, said: "Everyone at Etihad is delighted that Salma and Aisha – our first female cadet pilots – have made history as the first women to graduate from the programme."
The cadets started the pilot programme course in September 2007 and now have the rank of second officers at Etihad Airways.
As second officers the pilots will undertake a multi-crew co-operation course and an Airbus A320 type conversion course which will enable them to fly as co-pilots on the Etihad Airways Airbus A320 short haul fleet.
The cadet pilots will spend much of the time during the type conversion course in Etihad's A320 full-flight simulator as well as training in the development of non-technical skills applicable to working in a multi-crew environment.
After approximately six months they complete their final checks and will qualify as A320 first officers.
In order to gain the frozen ATPL the cadet pilots had to complete 750 hours of classroom tuition and 205 hours of flight training in single and multi-engine aircraft. During this time they all passed the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority's theoretical knowledge and flying exams. – TradeArabia News Service

How the apex court defines 'rarest of rare'

In August 2005, the Supreme Court awarded the death penalty to Afzal Guru, an accused in the 2001 attack on Parliament, after holding his was a "classic example" of a "rarest of rare" case. It said the "collective conscience of the society" would only be satisfied if the capital punishment was awarded to Guru.
Last year, the apex court handed out the death sentence to Ajmal Kasab, involved in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, ruling that gallows remained the "only" punishment for the man who had "no feeling of pity and killed without the slightest twinge of conscience". While the verdict in Guru's case did not delve on the "aggravating" and "mitigating" factors balancing these have been used as a standard to decide whether to award the death penalty Kasab's judgment duly considered it.
These two cases could be similar in view of the fact that they related to terrorism, but the fact remains that law mandates punishment only in accordance with crimes and their punishments under the IPC. So, the cases of Guru and Kasab are no different from any other case in terms of charges of murder, waging war against country, sedition, etc. Several recent SC judgments have, however, advocated a re-examination of the parameters that decide which crimes qualify for the awarding of capital punishment under the "rarest of rare" criterion. Judicial discussions on conclusive parameters for the death sentence have taken centrestage, and several judgments expressing what constitutes the "rarest of rare" are being delivered.
The first such judgment came in November 2012, when Justice Madan B. Lokur, authoring a verdict in a murder case regretted that the sentencing has become "judge-centric", rather than based on the principles of sentencing that require considering crime and criminal equally important. He pointed out that the courts continue to focus only on the severity of the crime, while ignoring other circumstances relating to the criminal.
Subsequently, in a February judgment, another SC bench saved from the gallows a man sentenced to death for killing his wife and daughter when he was out of jail on parole. He had been jailed for 12 years for raping the daughter when she was a minor. The SC adopted a "humanistic" approach and said this case was not "rarest of rare", since the possibility of the convict's reformation was not foreclosed. However, a few days later, the SC sentenced to death a man convicted of killing a seven-year-old boy in another judgment. While justifying this case to be "rarest of rare," the court also said that the murder of the "only male child" would have caused extreme misery to the parents. A subsequent verdict involving two men on the death row for killing a couple and their two children decided "to go a little further" and explain the test for awarding death sentences. It said that after drawing out the aggravating and mitigating circumstances, the "rarest of rare" test will be required. This test, the SC said, will depend on the "will of [the] people" and "perception of the society", and will not be judge-centric. The judgment read that the death penalty would "depend on the perception of the society, whether the society will approve the awarding of [the] death sentence to certain types of crime, or not".
Now, when different SC benches are apparently suggesting that the earlier Constitution Bench verdicts are not being applied uniformly, it would be interesting to see if the apex court delivers another Constitution Bench judgment to suit the present moment.

Egypt billionaire Sawiris family to invest "like never before"

- Share this
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian tycoon Naguib Sawiris, whose family controls the sprawling Orascom corporate empire, says he and his brothers will be "investing in Egypt like never before" after the ousting of a president he accused of bullying opponents to his rule.
Sawiris, a prominent Christian who was an outspoken critic of President Mohamed Mursi, told Reuters the Islamist leader's government had sought to co-opt executives or, as in his case because he was in opposition, hit his family businesses with exceptional taxes.
The eldest of three billionaire brothers, Sawiris spent much of the past year in self-imposed exile, returning to Egypt in May after officials cleared Orascom Construction Industries (OCI), run by brother Nassef Sawiris, of tax evasion.
The Orascom group of companies is one of the biggest private sector employers in Egypt - providing more than 100,000 Egyptians with jobs according to Sawiris, who now runs a new investment firm Orascom Telecom, Media and Technology (OTMT.CA),
"My family and myself are going to be investing in Egypt like never before - any new projects where we can invest, any new factories that we can open, any new initiatives that will provide jobs for the young people of Egypt," he said, although he did not give any specifics.
"I am very very sure that Egypt will come back very strongly now," he said in a telephone interview on Sunday from a yacht off the Greek island of Mykonos, where he was on vacation.
The remarks by one of Egypt's top businessmen could help rebuild confidence in a nation buffeted by political turmoil for two and a half years. Bankruptcy was averted when Gulf states poured in aid after the army ousted Mursi on July 3, responding to protests by millions of Egyptians.
Investors have been spooked and tourists have stayed away since an uprising brought down President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, who like Mursi was given a push by the generals, hammering two of Egypt's main sources of foreign currency.
"There are two opinions, one that the people who went down on June 30 should go back to the squares, my point is we should go back to our work and build our country," he said, referring to the date that marked the start of mass rallies against Mursi.
After Mursi's ouster and with the economy on the ropes, Sawiris said he had lobbied government officials in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, which had held back aid to Egypt under Mursi, to offer swift support and help for the next few months.
"It was not like I needed to convince them too much, they were already convinced," said Sawiris, who made a fortune with Orascom Telecom, selling most of those assets to Vimpelcom VIP.N in 2010 in a $6 billion deal.
Shortly after the army stepped in, the UAE and Kuwait offered $3 billion and $4 billion respectively, to the government, partly to help boost its reserves. Saudi Arabia offered $5 billion.
"If Egypt falls, or goes into turmoil, the whole Middle East goes down the drain. So they are defending also their countries also by helping Egypt," he said.
Sawiris, who helped found and finance the liberal Free Egyptians party that is part of a coalition that opposed Mursi, said Mursi's government had offered him the post of Cairo governor early in the president's term, but turned it down, seeing it as a bid "to buy me out".
Unlike his brothers, who have steered clear of public politics, Sawiris was a vocal critic and has stakes in a television channel and a prominent independent newspaper that have broadcast or published broadsides against Mursi's rule.
"My family actually paid the price of my challenge," he said, citing what he called an "unlawful" tax imposed on OCI as it was moving its listing from Egypt to the Netherlands.
"They were bullying us. They were bullying me, they were bullying my family they were bullying ... any businessman who dared to stand in their way," he said.
Alongside OCI which has cement and fertilizer plants and an international construction business, a third brother, Samih Sawiris, runs Orascom Development Holding (ODHN.S), operating tourists resorts and real estate projects in Egypt and Europe.
Sawiris said international businesses should invest now, while many are still nervous about prospects.
"I know it is going to be stable, so you always make the most of your money when you move first," he said.

This review is from: Destiny: What's life all about? (Paperback)

Croatian Times
Croatian actor Goran Visnjic, best known for his role as Dr. Luka Kovac in the hit television series ER, was in the Hague this week not only to give support to jailed Croatian generals Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac, but also to prepare for his next film role.
Visnjic, who has forged a successful acting career in America, will play Ante Gotovina in a film to be directed by Visnjic's father-in-law Antun Vrdoljak, which is due to begin shooting this autumn.
The idea for the film came from both Vrdoljak and Visnjic following the events in the Hague when Gotovina was sentenced to 24 years in prison for war crimes and the emotional shock that followed in Croatia. The pair want to tell the film world the story of Croatia's most well known soldier, reported daily newspaper Jutarnji list.

The search for missing tramper Alistair Levy has been put on hold, with any further action dependent on new information.
An aerial search yesterday afternoon in the Castle Basin and bluff areas of Kahurangi National Park, in the northwest of the South Island, failed to find any trace of the 54-year-old Palmerston North teacher, police said.
"No further plans have been made for teams to enter the field. Any further search will be dependent on information coming forward."
Levy has not been seen or heard from for more than a week. The last known contact with him was on December 23 when he sent a text message saying he had reached the 1875-metre summit of Mt Owen.
He had been due to meet up with his wife and family in Christchurch on Christmas Eve, but he did not arrive and a search began on Christmas Day.
His blue Toyota Estima was left parked at Courthouse Flat near the start of the walking track.
Yesterday, a fine break in the weather in the middle of the day was the first time since Boxing Day that the Nelson Marlborough Helicopter had been able to resume an aerial search.
The area focused on was steep terrain with alpine rock that was along Levy's intended route, based on an entry he made in the book at Granity Pass hut.
Cavers in the area have also been keeping an eye out for Levy.
The police have said they hold grave concerns for him, given the time elapsed since he was last heard from and the challenging terrain.
