When officers arrested the 45-year-old they found him in possession of screwdrivers, a torch and some jewellry in boxes.
Later that day the occupiers of a house in Felstead Road returned home to find it had been burgled.
Officers showed them the property that was recovered from Cotman and they confirmed it was theirs.

Past Vintages
2009 Petite Sirah, Old Vines Napa Valley Estate
Growing Season
sold out
There were considerably less days of frost in 2009 than in previous years which lowered to some extent the danger of crop loss. However, late spring rains delayed warm weather until June weather curtailed excessive canopy development. Finally, there were nearly 14 days of 100oF temperatures which brought our overall weather around to a typical growing season.
Winemaker Notes
This year's vintage, though unique by itself, packs the same wallop of earlier ones. Dark, big and massive as you would expect of a David Fulton, you will find with this one that Petite Sirah is not just a name—it's our plan for the game. Black fruit and cassis on the nose, the flavors of black berries, black pepper, allspice, cloves and creamy sweet oak are a few of the descriptors that come to mind. The mid palate is coating, thick and packed with texture. There is a long finish with a bit more grip than usual. Drink now, hold for a year or two, or lay it down for a decade—your choice. 281 cases.

2008 Petite Sirah, Old Vines Napa Valley Estate
sold out
Growing Season
The 2008 growing season began with intense storms in January that brought high winds and heavy rains to the region. The precipitation soon waned and Napa received little more than 60% of its normal rainfall. The spring season was one of the driest on record with virtually no rainfall. The drier soils prompted vines to push out early which provided frigid, dry air to create conditions for the deepest and longest frost period in decades. After fruit set, fewer clusters with smaller berries were typical in the Valley. The dryness, cooler, consistent temps and less vine canopy added up to healthier vines but a lighter yield. We were able to produce a little more than 300 cases.
Winemaker Notes
True to previous years of elegance, this vintage provides a wider range of bright, high-tone fruit flavors emanating from the expected deep, dark color of the varietal. We are pleased by blackberry, fig, cinnamon, dark, Baker's chocolate and licorice aromas and rewarded with flavors of red cherry, boysenberry, raspberry, and distinct vanilla on the palate. With soft tannins, this is a round, velvety, silky wine that will need little cellaring to enjoy.

2007 Petite Sirah, Old Vines Napa Valley Estate
sold out
Growing Season. The year began dry with some cold days, and the season continued dry, about 60% of normal precipitation. Temperatures were warmer than normal as winter continued into spring. The summer continued on the mild to cool side with one brief period of heat spikes around Labor Day. The crop was notably smaller due to the dry season. Sugar levels did accelerate the last week of August. The vintage was below average in terms of yields, but very promising quality.
Winemaker Notes. Consistent with previous years of dark color, richness, balance and elegance, this wine brings a hint of black berries, oak and cassis on the nose. Just what you'd expect from a 2007 vintage, there are layers of flavors ranging from bright fruits to a calming earthy nature that jump onto your palate. Here you'll find boysenberry, red raspberry, leather, cloves and black tea to tickle your fancy. Midway, a lovely, soft texture rolls off into a surprise finish with a tiny more grip at the end in comparison to previous vintages. Slightly less than 500 cases will be there to greet an ever increasing demand for this year's prize both for the eager-beavers and the more patient ones willing to hold off a dozen years for bottle bouquet to develop.

2006 Petite Sirah, Old Vines Napa Valley Estate
sold out
Growing Season. The year began with wet weather turning into a near flooding from the Napa River. Rain continued at times into spring delaying bud break. The warm sun came out in July for good, and vines began to bloom and set fruit. Then there was a record ten-day heat wave before the close of July. Turning to normal, the heat helped catch the vines up to a "normal." Somewhat cooler weather arrived in August and continued through September allowing for moderately paced ripening. Our harvest of Petite Sirah came Saturday, October 14th as we squeezed by a week of cool weather and a little rain.
Winemaker Notes. Out of the historic and highly regarded David Fulton Vineyard comes yet another year of an outstanding Petite Sirah. Elegant but more inky and massive than the previous vintage this year's prize leans a little more into the "Old World" camp as a welcomed companion alongside a plate of rich food. Laden with intense black fruit flavors, coated with a coco-like texture on the mid-pallet and sprinkled with cloves, leather, black tea, fresh pie dough and dark chocolate, this complex yet balanced wine will transform your ordinary meal into an evening of enchantment. Though it will cellar well, why wait?
2005 Petite Sirah, Old Vines Napa Valley Estate
sold out
Growing Season. This was a season of contrasts from other vintages and from earlier forecasts to final outcome. The year started out with 60% of normal precipitation with some very cold days. Then temperatures were warmer than normal as winter continued into spring with a resulting earlier budding, bloom and set in the vineyard. The summer was dominated by cool weather lasting all summer long and continuing into the fall with a brief heat spike around Labor Day adding a boost in sugar development. All this brought characteristics to wine reminiscent to those produced in the year 1998. Eventually, maturity was achieved, and we attained commencing harvest.
Winemaker Notes. True to previous years of elegance, this vintage provides a wider range of bright, high-tone fruit flavors emanating from the expected deep, dark color of the varietal. We are pleased by loganberry, fresh dough, cassis and nutmeg aromas and rewarded with flavors of blackberry pie, Baker's chocolate and black cherry. Round, velvety, thick and coating on the pallet, we are left with an elegant finish that will show well with bottle age into the next decade or so.
2004 Petite Sirah
Harvest and Cellaring. A tempered summer, it was a wonderful year for the 2004 vintage. Fog rolled into the Valley most summer days with a warming trend in September. We can say the pattern was in the moment when ripeness and flavor unfold from mere grapes into extraordinary Petite Sirah. At harvest the grapes measured 25.8 brix, 3.58 pH and 0.68 TA. The wine was bottled at 14.9% alcohol, 3.74 pH and 0.62 TA.
Winemaker Tasting Notes. One of our more robust years, it is bigger, fatter with a little more fruit and grip than the previous year. Highlighted by black raspberries, cinnamon, licorice and cloves, complexity is brought to the nose through a dark purple, meniscus encased, cerise colored pool. A myriad of flavors follow: mint, black pepper, nutmeg, black cherries, black tea, dark Bakers chocolate, allspice, cassis and not the least of all, blueberry notes. We can still enjoy a round, firm, chewy but tempered grip to pleasantly remind us of rich, supple steak tartar with the nearly full bodied texture of warm, creamy chocolate. There is the presence of oak as if dipped in maple syrup with an extended and lush after taste. The full elegance of this wine will not be achieved until some cellaring. It will last into the next decade.
2003 Petite Sirah
Harvest and Cellaring. The wine is hand crafted by family members and close friends and neighbors. The grapes were left on vines to the optimum moment, September 27, 2003, at which time they were carried off the vineyard in small lug boxes, triple-sorted and cold soaked. They measured 26.50 brix, 3.31 pH and 0.69 TA. The process continued as whole-berry fermentation in a specially designed oak tank utilizing a combination of punch-downs and pump-overs with carefully monitored temperature control. Gently pressed and tasted for tannins, the must was carefully transferred to half new and half two-year old French Oak barrels for secondary (M/L) fermentation at a slightly elevated temperature. The wine was cellared another two years in the same, Chateaux Ferre barrels and toped with precision and regularity in the newly constructed wine cellar. Upon bottling on February 21, 2005, the wine measured 14.9% alcohol, 3.84 pH and 0.64 TA.
Winemaker Tasting Notes. Our 2003 Petite Sirah release date is October 1, 2006. This is the fifth release since reopening of the historic winery and the third estate bottling in 135 years. No doubt about it, this is a special wine. It comes from a St. Helena dry-farmed vineyard of antiquity. As such, the wine shows black admitting aromas of blackberries and cranberries and issuing a rich array of red and black fruit flavors. The mid palate is coating and thick, similar to coffee mocha, and packed with textural. Complete with round tannins, the finish is noticeably longer than previous vintages, not that earlier ones were without a lasting quality. The wine, held for three years before release, allows for current consumption for those who can't wait yet graceful aging for those that prefer patience. Just 320 cases were produced. With proper storage the wine should last into the next decade and beyond.
2002 Petite Sirah
Harvest and Cellaring. This is the fourth release since reopening of the historic winery and the second estate bottling in 125 years. The wine is hand crafted by immedite family members and many of our close friends and neighbors. The grapes were left on vines to the optimum moment, September 28, 2002, at which time they were carried off the vineyard in small lug boxes, triple-sorted and cold soaked. They measured 28.1 degrees brix, 3.67 pH and 0.65 TA. The process continued as whole berry fermentation in a specially designed oak tank utilizing a combination of punch-downs and pump-overs with carefully monitored temperature control. Gently pressed and tasted for tannins, the must was carefully transferred to half new and half two-year old French Oak barrels for secondary (M/L) fermentation at a slightly elevated temperature. The wine was cellared another two years in the same, Chateaux Ferre, barrels and toped with precision and regularity in the newly constructed wine cellar. Upon bottling on March 24, 2005 the wine was measured 15.6% alcohol, 3.76 pH and 0.68 TA.
Winemaker Tasting Notes. The release date for our 2002 Petite Sirah is October 1, 2005. No doubt about it, this is an intense wine. The pour is inky black except when viewed under a strong lamp and held to a thin layer where it settles into a ravishing pool of brilliant clarity displaying dark reds with a deep purple rim. Trailing up from a rotating glass are fresh, massive, pure black fruit aromas with hints of blackberry and logan berry fragrances elegantly revealed in a way rarely seen in this variety. The flavors match the breath yet divulge even more with loganberry, cassis, licorice, fresh dough, and well-integrated oak notes resembling maple syrup. The texture is a multilayered coating of round supple thick black cherry. Left at the end of each sip are youthful, round, rich mature tannins balanced with wood. The wine allows for current consumption for those who can't wait yet graceful aging for those that prefer patience. Just 350 cases were produced. With proper storage the wine should last a decade or two.
2001 Petite Sirah
Harvest and Cellaring. October 1, 2004 marks the date of release of our 2001 Petite Sirah. It is the third such release since the start of reconstruction of the historic winery, but the first release of an estate bottling in 125 years. The wine was hand crafted, except with the help of close friends and neighbors during harvest crush and press time, by immediate family members. Left on the vines for an extended hang time, the grapes were picked in small lug boxes, triple-sorted, cold soaked and measured: the brix was 25.4o, pH was 3.41 and T.A. was 0.62. The process continued as whole-berry fermentation in a specially designed oak tank utilizing a combination of punch-downs and pump-overs with carefully monitored temperature control. Gently pressed and tasted for tannins, the must was carefully transformed to juice and placed into half new and half two-year old French Oak barrels for secondary (M/L) fermentation at a slightly elevated temperature. The wine was cellared another two years in the same, Chateaux Ferre, barrels with regulated topping precision in the old farm tank house which had been renovated for this purpose by use of insulation and air-conditioning until the old wine cellar could be reconstructed. Upon bottling February 19, 2004 the alcohol was measured 14.5% by volume, the TA was 0.65 g/100mL and the pH came in at 3.66. Only 99 cases were produced for release to fine restaurants and specialty wine shops.
Winemaker Tasting Notes. Visualize deep red or cerise with purple hues glittering in a swirling pool at the bottom of your glass. The precious liquid begins to release unforeseen freshness and bright black fruit aromas with hints of toast and maple syrup. It is as if the wine were placed instead in a carefully crafted goblet warming each breath as if taken in by the glow of a warm fireplace. Driven to taste the draw of the first few drops take you by surprise as to how powerful and fresh the fruit comes through with merely a touch of oak. Each sip brings a new play of notes with black cherry in front followed by blackberry, boysenberry, currants, allspice, cassis and chocolate. The texture across the mid-pallet is elegant, sweet round tannins with some grip reserved for bottle aging. Hey, after all, this is Petite Sirah! Finally, the lasting effect is long and silky with black fruit lingering to the end. We recommend decanting or letting the bottle sit at room temperature a while to soften the tannins for those who can't resist the temptation to taste upon buying. Otherwise, a bottle with proper storage should last a decade or two.
2000 Petite Sirah
Harvest and Cellaring. This was the second release from the current descendant of the founder of historic David Fulton Winery. Estate harvested but custom crushed by a noted local winery on September, 25, 2000, the fruit measured at 23.1 degree brix, 0.525 g/100mL TA and 3.501 pH. After six months in oak barrels, the crush winery delivered 240 gallons to the David Fulton Winery in March 2001 for further cellaring and bottling. They were masterly crafted in two new and two two-year old French oak, Chateaux Ferre barrels. Bottled on March 27, 2003, the wine measured at 13.9% alcohol, 0.67 g/100mL TA and 3.51 pH. Having aged in barrels 30 months and in bottles an additional 6 months, approximately 99 cases were released in October 2003.
Winemaker Tasting Notes. From the glass the first revelation is a deep, dark red with shimmering violet hues. The wine once swirled carries a sense above the rim of blackberries and raspberries and reaching further a hint of toast and maple. Take a sip from the glass. There is more to discover, a taste of figs, currents, cherries, licorice, and even hints of mocha and vanilla. Hold a moment longer and notice that the texture is full, no, mouth-filling, and, finally, the experience is brought to a lush finish, one that is well-structured, firm yet roundness with grip. Overall, this 2000 Petite Sirah is a top grade wine. Though drinkable now it will improve with time and should last with proper cellaring for 25 years.
1999 Petite Sirah
Harvest and Cellaring. The first commercial release in 130 years, the family of David Fulton invites you to a delightful experience of an ultra premium wine. Estate harvested but custom crushed by a noted local winery on October 7, 1999, the fruit was harvested at 24.7o brix, 0.49 g/100mL TA and 3.73 pH. After one year of aging in oak, two barrels were returned to the David Fulton Winery and cellared another year in new and 1-year old French, Chateaux Ferre oak barrels. At bottling the wine measured at 14.5% alcohol, 0.65 g/100mL TA and 3.46 pH. Today, the Fulton Family brings you ripe fruit flavors of well-rounded Old Vine Petite Sirah to enjoy now or keep for a decade (50 cases).
Winemaker Tasting Notes. Our senses start by visualizing an, attractive vermillion red steeped with violet hues. Taking breath we find ripe black fruits with tinges of currants, licorice, blackberries and figs. At the edge of relishing more, we are gently touched by smooth, liquid surprises: dark baker's chocolate, cedar and black cherries. Finally, we savor the moment knowing we will not be punished by the usual tannins; rather, we are rewarded by an extraordinary "Pet" full of roundness, medium tannins and a toasty finish.

Medics fought for two-hours to restart Muamba's heart
Bolton Wanderers footballer Fabrice Muamba is still in a critical condition in intensive care after collapsing during an FA Cup tie.
- Doctors have confirmed he suffered a cardiac arrest
- Paramedics could not get his heart to start beating on its own for almost two hours
- Began beating when he reached London Chest Hospital in Bethnal Green
In a statement his club said he "remains anaesthetised" in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital after falling to the ground at White Hart Lane in front of millions of television viewers.
It happened during the sixth-round tie between Tottenham Hotspur and his club, Bolton Wanderers.
Club manager Owen Coyle thanked fans for their support:
All our thoughts and prayers are for Fabrice and his family at this time. Fabrice's family have asked me to pass on their thanks for the many, many kind messages of support from not only Bolton fans but also fans from clubs across the country and abroad.
A joint statement from the hospital and Bolton Wanderers read:
Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition in intensive care in the Heart Attack Centre at the London Chest Hospital. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday evening after collapsing at White Hart Lane, where he sustained a cardiac arrest during the FA Cup quarter final against Tottenham Hotspur. Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to the London Chest Hospital, where his heart eventually started working. As is normal medical practice, Fabrice remains anaesthetised in intensive care and will be for at least 24 hours. His condition continues to be closely monitored by the cardiac specialists at the hospital.
All our thoughts are with Fabrice, his family, Owen Coyle and the Club. It was the right decision to abandon the game, everybody was in a state of shock and it wouldn't have been right to carry on. Football is the last thing on anyone's mind when an awful situation such as this happens. All we are thinking about now is Fabrice and his family.
Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Tuesday evening's Barclays Premier League fixture against Aston Villa has been postponed.
The Club would like to thank Aston Villa and the Premier League for their kind support and understanding at this time.
Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers' Association, Gordon Taylor, told ITV News that the fans' reaction to Muamba showed the positive side of football.
Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Jonathan Evans joined the applause for Fabrice Muamba during their Barclays Premier League match at Molineux today.
Fans have left flowers, shirts and scarves at Bolton's Reebok stadium close to the players' entrance. One message written on a card with a Manchester United emblem on it read: "Our thoughts and prayers are with you. One game, one family."

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Freezing temperatures, busted lines and water pouring over city streets has forced Jackson into a state of emergency.
Jackson has not seen a problem like this since 1989 water lines bursting all across the city with public works crews scrambling to fix them.
"Now we are seeing drops in water line pressure across the city in some instances facilities are without water all together," said Mayor Harvey Johnson.
Several consecutive days of subfreezing temperatures are wreaking havoc on brittle cast iron pipes some of which are more than a century old.
"Going through these freeze/thaw cycles and the Yazoo clay there's only so many times it can be stressed before it breaks," said City of Jackson Public Works Deputy Director David Willis.
Harvey Johnson has called a state of emergency asking all Jackson residents to boil their water used for drinking and conserve as much as possible. That news had bottled water flying off grocery store shelves.
"My water was running really slow after they said they had no water so I ran the bath tub so I could flush, so I could be prepared," said Elizabeth Campbell, who lives and works in Jackson.
The weather is slowly warming up, but that doesn't mean the water crisis is going to end soon. "I want people to understand that this is a problem. Just because the sun is out and just because we reach temperatures above freezing that we're out of the woods. We are not out of the woods. In fact, as some of these pipes thaw out, we'll discover even more leaks," said Mayor Johnson.
If you notice a water line break, please call Jackson's Action Line at (601) 960-1111.

SnapChat: "Selfies, shameless selfies."
By: Mary Ries
Have you ever been waiting for class to start and notice a classmate making a heinous looking face while glaring at her phone? Or have you ever been in the "caf" and noticed a table full of students all fixated on their phones? Ever wonder what they were doing? Chances are they are caught up in the world of SnapChat.
SnapChat has taken The Hill by storm. According to snapchat.com, SnapChat is a new app for iPhone and Android phones that allows users to send pictures and videos up to 10 times faster than standard Multimedia Messaging Services. SnapChat was created by Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy. The duo met at Stanford University where they spent much of their time together as Kappa Sigma Fraternity brothers. After graduating in 2010, Spiegel and Murphy came together to last spring and founded the picture taking phenomenon known as SnapChat.
The appeal of SnapChat to students is that the images disappear within ten seconds. A notification is sent to the recipient of the image, and they have up to ten seconds to look at the image before it vanishes. Junior Victoria Bridges enjoys using SnapChat because, "You can communicate with everyone instantly using pictures and because you can edit the pictures," said Bridges. The app is also appealing to users because the senders are able to tell if the recipient took a screenshot of the image before it disappeared.
SnapChat's vanishing trick is one of the reasons why over 50 million snaps are sent per day. Freshman Fromie Gonzalez finds the disappearing images as a way to make sure that there is "no evidence" left of the image. Gonzalez says that he specifically likes SnapChat because of the ability to send, "Selfies, shameless selfies." According to the Wall Street Journal, a "selfie" is an image taken by the same person who is in the picture. Many "selfie" lovers favor front-facing smartphone cameras to achieve the best quality "selfie."
Whether it is taking a "selfie" picture making a horrendous face and snapping it to your BFF or sending a picture of a friend, SnapChat is providing ways for students to communicate faster than ever through images. SnapChat is currently listed as one of the top free iOS photo apps in the U.S. rivaling with other photography apps such as Instagram. To download SnapChat for your phone, visit the app store.

This one-piece sleeveless suit has power shield on…
Fabric: Malden Powersheild & Schoeller Fabric
Price Paid: $220 (on Sale)
This one-piece sleeveless suit has power shield on the lower half and schoeller fabric on the top, with nylon facing on the upper front. It zips all the way down the front and up the legs. It has removeable knee pads that really save the arthritic knees. I wear this instead of bibs and it really comes into its own when exposed to the wind. It can get a little hot climbing steeply below treeline, but vents very well. I wear it with mid weight polypro bottoms and a power stretch top. When I hit treeline, I pair it with the Gamma SV and a balaklava and I'm good to go. Every detail is well thought out and of course the Arc'Tyrex fit is perfect, as usual.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:

Three Weeks Without iTunes
What can we do with just 85円? Can we feed ourself for a single day? Can we enjoy an afternoon out of the house? Can we completely replace the need to sync our iDevices with iTunes? Looking at past experience1, I can safely say that it's possible to do all three of these things, though only the last one is preferable.
Three weeks ago I picked up Instacast, a wonderful podcast manager for iOS, and it obviated the need to load Apple's bloated iTunes software for everything but the transfer of music from the library. No longer is there a need to carry an external hard drive everywhere in the event I want to check for updated podcasts. No longer do I need to wait for a 45 MB XML file to be read and parsed into memory just to transfer information and make a backup. Instacast and iOS 5, despite all of the operating system's bugs, has turned the iPod Touch into a truly portable device rather than a machine that needs to be tethered regularly to be enjoyable2.
There's no going back, now. Once iTunes Match comes to Japan, I'll spend both the cash and the time to get the library synchronized. From there, I may no longer need to have a local copy of iTunes or my music, videos, or pictures3 at all.
If you listen to podcasts and haven't given Instacast a try, I strongly suggest you do so. It's just 85円 and worth every Yen.

LUBBOCK, TX (October 20, 2009) - The No. 6 (NCAA Div. II) West Texas A&M Lady Buffs overcame a 21-17 deficit in the fourth set with a 9-3 run to force a fifth and decisive set, which they won 15-12 to garner a 3-2 match victory (19-25,25-17,25-27,26-24,15-12) over No. 19 (NAIA) Lubbock Christian University Tuesday night, ending the Lady Chaparrals 25-match home win streak at Rip Griffin Center.
It was an energetic match that saw LCU and WTAMU trade sets causing a roller coaster of emotion. The Lady Chaps opened the first set bouncing back from a 5-2 deficit with a 14-5 run to take a 16-10 lead en route to a 25-19 set win. The second set was tied as late as 15-15 until WTAMU closed the set on a 10-2 run for the 25-17 set win to tie the match at 1-1. LCU dodged a Lady Buff comeback bid in the third set, holding onto a 24-22 lead to win the set 27-25. An upset win for LCU looked promising after a 7-2 lead to open the fourth set, but the Lady Buffs fought back and eventually tied the set at 22-22. Their 9-3 run while trailing 21-17 in the set was highlighted by three kills from Laura Prinsen to help take the set 26-24 to force a decisive fifth set. WTAMU had an 8-6 advantage at the change in the final set, but the Lady Chaps came back and eventually took a 11-10 lead. The Lady Buffs flexed their muscle and closed the match on a 5-1 run to seal the set 15-12 and claim the match 3-2.
Kelsey Odell produced a double-double in the loss for LCU with 15 kills and 14 digs. Elissa Loynes also had 15 kills, while teammate Bailey Jones led LCU with 18 in the match. Jordan Goings assisted on 52 of the team's 64 kills, and Courtney Yonke had a match-high 28 digs. WTAMU's Melissa Harper had a match-high 22 kills and Katie Rickwartz was impressive with 61 assists and 17 digs. The Lady Buffs had 99 digs as a team, with five players in double figures in the category. The Lady Chaps did struggle serving with just one ace and eight serving errors.
The home loss was the first since losing to Texas Wesleyan in the postseason of the 2007 season (11/17/07). The Lady Chaps nine-match overall win streak was also snapped, as they go to 18-4 on the season. WTAMU improved to 23-3. LCU returns to Sooner Athletic Conference play Friday night at 7 p.m. hosting Southern Nazarene University.

wxPython: Wrap Widgets with WrapSizer
Posted by Mike under Cross-Platform, GUI Toolkits, Python, wxPython
[2] Comments
wxPython 2.9 introduced the world to a new type of sizer that can take widgets and automatically make them "wrap" around as you resize the frame. That sizer is known as wx.WrapSizer. For some reason, it is relatively unknown, so we'll spend a few minutes going over how to use it in this article.
To follow along with this tutorial, you will need to have wxPython 2.9 or greater. Once you've got that, we can continue. (more…)

This fight had the same theme throughout all three rounds. It was very clear who the better boxer was. I said that Hominick just needed to avoid an all out brawl and that's exactly what he did. Garcia came out with leg kicks and a big overhand right. Hominick pushed him all around the cage and pumped the jab on him all night.
The fight doesn't need a round by round breakdown. Nothing changed all throughout. Garcia never switched up his attack, even though it clearly wasn't working. He landed a few shots but none of them clean. He failed to make it into the war he had with Sung Jung. His winging punches might have made it look like he was doing more but Hominick was controlling the cage and jabbing him to death. He did a masterful job of keeping him at distance all while backing him down and outpointing him.
One judge gave the fight to Garcia. I have no idea how he could justify such a thing. I can understand giving Garcia a round but not two. He never got his hands off the way he wanted and Hominick had him timed from the beginning to the end. The one knockdown of the fight also went to Hominick, albeit a brief one. In the end, the right guy comes away with the win here.

Ron Washington rewarded the Texas Rangers last season for sticking with him
58-year old manager Ron Washington rewarded the Rangers with their first trip to the World Series for sticking with him. He failed a drug test for cocaine a little while ago but the Rangers stuck with him. Washington led the Rangers to a 90-72 (55.6%) record during the regular season and they were 8-8 (50%) in the post-season. The Rangers are now 331-307 (51.1%) during the regular season in Washington's first four years in charge and they are 8-8 in the post-season. The only way Washington can get his team to improve would be to win the World Series, so he will have a little bit of pressure on him in 2011.

Dr. Mimi Benjamin ('89, M.A. '96), a Clarion University alumna and mentee of the late Mary Walter, will speak at the year's final lecture of the Mary Walter Leadership Series at 7 p.m. April 17 in Clarion University's Moore Hall. Her topic will be "Authentic Leadership."
In her career, Benjamin has strove to teach the wisdom gained from both Walter and the university, both of which she credits with providing necessary leadership skills.
"As a leader, Mary had a tremendous impact on me. She modeled the kind of leadership I wanted to practice," Benjamin said. "She communicated to students through her interactions with them that she trusted us, had confidence in our abilities and respected the work we did."
Benjamin cited an example: "When I was a graduate student, Mary invited me to co-present with her at a national conference. I had never presented on the national level and didn't think I had anything to contribute. Mary thought I did, and she provided me with an opportunity that was significant to my growth as a professional and as a leader. To this day, when I present at a national conference, I think about that first opportunity that was given to me by Mary Walter."
Benjamin believes that leadership programs like the Mary Walter Leadership Speaker Series are valuable for students because they have an opportunity to hear about the lived experiences of leaders and interact with these individuals.
"There are many different ways to be a leader, and students can gain new perspectives on what it means to positively contribute to an organization through such programs," she said.
Benjamin earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education/English and a master's degree in English, both from Clarion University. She holds a master's degree in educational leadership from Ohio University and a doctorate in educational leadership and policy studies from Iowa State University. Benjamin held student affair administrator positions at Plymouth State, Iowa State and Cornell universities before joining Indiana University of Pennsylvania as assistant professor in the student affairs in higher education department in 2013.
The Mary Walter Leadership Series was created in 1993 by the late Mary Walter, former Clarion University assistant dean for student life services and director of orientation. Six events are held each year, three in fall and three in spring. This year's theme is "Defining Your Purpose."
For more information about the Mary Walter Leadership Series, email email@example.com.
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.

Hey guys, UFC 136 just wrapped up and 3 of my top 10 P4P fighters fought today. I was just wondering what your pound for pound ranking looked like after tonight.
I know Dana said Frankie was number 2, but i think we all know that that is ridiculous.
Anyways here is my list:
1. Anderson Silva - consensus #1 pick, is undefeated in over 5 years, almost 7 years if you don't include the Okami DQ
2. George St Pierre - in my mind the consensus #2. He was #1 for a while after Silva had disappointing performances against Cote, Leites, and Maia, and GSP dominated Fitch, BJ, and Alves. But after his most disappointing fight to date against Shields, and Anderson's knock outs of Vitor and Okami, looks like GSP is stuck at #2 unless Anderson loses.
3. Jon Jones - i'll admit i didn't have jones in my top 5 P4P before the rampage fight, and i still had him at #4 before tonight, i thought all things equal, Aldo had the more impressive resume, but even thou Aldo won tonight, he hasn't dominated someone in a while, and all Jones does is dominate
4. Jose Aldo - today's performance wasn't his most impressive, but that doesn't mean that he still isn't the best. Wins over Mendes and Hioki could vault him back up to #3 in my mind.
5. Frankie Edgar - Edgar impressed me tonight, but i didn't see anything that i hadn't seen before. He has a great chin, and the heart of a lion (which he had showed in the 2nd Maynard fight). It still worries me that he was caught in the 1st once again, and i figure that eventually someone will catch on to the fact that he is a natural flyweight and use their size advantage to beat him, but for now Frankie is at #5
6. Dominick Cruz - cruz looked good against Johnson, and he has beat the #2 thru #7 Bantamweights in the world, with the exception of Miguel Torres. He would be higher in the list if he actually finished someone in his fights.
7. Jon Fitch - think that fitch is the consensus best fighter without a belt in the world. If GSP didn't exist Jon fitch would be the reigning WW champ without a doubt.
8. Cain Velasquez - The 7th and final UFC champ in my p4p list, still has yet to defend the belt, a win over JDS would go a long way in proving he is THAT good, but as always heavyweights have a hard time in the P4P rankings.
9. Gilbert Melendez - the best fighter outside of the UFC (thou not for long it seems). I think that if he comes to the UFC he should get the immediate title shot, but at the same time i think that he should fight Masvidal who earned his shot at the strike force belt.
10. This is where it gets tricky, i used to have Gray in this spot but after the loss to Frankie, and the terrible showing he had in rounds 2-4 i can't keep gray in the top 10, but since Jake Shields has lost recently as well i can't think of who deserves this last spot more. These are my top candidates:
Chael Sonnen - the consensus #2 MW in the world, has dominated every fighter since he lost to damian maia, but he does have a loss to anderson, and MW is one of the shallowest divisions in MMA
Junior Dos Santos - he is undefeated in the UFC, he is the consensus #2 HW in the world, and he holds wins over 6 top 25 HW's.
Rashad Evans - the consensus #2 LHW in the world
anyway, i can't decide on who #10 is, what about you guys what do your lists look like?

Los Feliz Arms Lyrics - Sunday's Best
We packed up and moved 'cross town,
leaving Los Feliz, Griffith Park,
and the breakfast spots where we used to haunt.
The shine of Hillhurst days:
broken windows of my car,
neighbors setting off their fire alarms,
crisp nights you could feel.
Remember the view from the hill?
Moon dividing up the man-made lake...
Don't forget those days we stayed in to escape the race.
Days we hid from the phone and made out.
Left the world alone.
We were standing in the light,
hoping to catch a glimpse of what we thought was right.
Thursday night at Bigfoot Lodge,
rubbing shoulders with the slobs…
sponsored linksPassed us a Walker on the rocks.
Crisp nights too unreal…
We are standing in the light,
waiting to catch a glimpse of what we know is right.

I have the June version of the Series 9 from Samsung, and I'm running Saucy Salamander to get the touchpad working correctly. The laptop is overheating though fairly often, and I haven't found any set of tools for power management that help me govern fan performance for this laptop.
I am a developer and can happily provide any information requested. (I have done only a very minimal amount of driver work.) Sensors indicates that at its warmest it runs at 80C. At this temperature, the laptop becomes non-responsive. I typically have to shut it down.
I am nearly at the point of selling this one on Craigslist and getting something else, because I use this laptop for work and having it freeze on me twice a day is a major distraction. But I really enjoy the form factor, screen, and keyboard of the Samsung and would prefer not to, so any help would be appreciated.

Moving Down: Women's Part-time Work and Occupational Change in Britain 1991–2001
AbstractThe UK's Equal Opportunities Commission has recently drawn attention to the 'hidden brain drain' when women working part-time are employed in occupations below those for which they are qualified. These inferences were based on self-reporting. We give an objective and quantitative analysis of the nature of occupational change as women make the transition between full-time and part-time work. We construct an occupational classification which supports a ranking of occupations based on the average level of qualification of those employed there on a full-time basis. Using the NESPD and the BHPS for the period 1991-2001 we show that perhaps one-quarter of women moving from full- to part-time work move to an occupation at a lower level of qualification. Over 20 percent of professional women downgrade, half of them moving to low-skill jobs; two-thirds of nurses leaving nursing become care assistants; women from managerial positions are particularly badly affected. Women remaining with their current employer are much less vulnerable to downgrading, and the availability of part-time opportunities within the occupation is far more important than the presence of a pre-school child in determining whether a woman moves to a lower-level occupation. These findings indicate a loss of economic efficiency through the underutilisation of the skills of many of the women who work part-time.

The Sioux Falls City Council is considering several amendments to the wastewater regionalization ordinance this week that would help stabilize rates for homeowners in Sioux Falls and several surrounding communities.
Right now, Renner, Prairie Meadows, Brandon and Harrisburg are using the waste water facility in Sioux Falls—just one of several city services that are utilized by surrounding communities.
"We serve a five county area—Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha and Turner County. There are approximately 245-250,000 people in that five county area," said Sioux Fall's Landfill Superintendent Dave McElroy.
In the past, nearly every small town in South Dakota had its own city dump and lagoons for waste water, but with time, population growth and new federal regulations, regional waste systems have become the most economical approach for both small and large communities.
It's why many communities have started sharing the burden of expensive services like libraries, water systems and landfills.
"Anything can be looked at on a regional basis, you've got transit systems, water systems…I know some communities share public works departments, they share equipment because some of the equipment that we purchase is fairly expensive," said Bryan Read, Brandon's City Administrator.
"It would be well in excess of 50 million and probably approaching 100 million," said Mark Perry, Sioux Falls' Wastewater Superintendent.
'This entire area, probably hundreds of millions of dollars," said McElroy. "We are right now just constructing cell three; we have four to five million dollars worth of costs into that one cell, with plans to build nine more cells in the near future."
Along with the initial investment of building these facilities, there's also the continued expense of keeping up with ever-changing federal regulations.
"We have state permits and federal permits, we have air quality permits, waste water permits…now all the modern landfills have to have liners and leach reduction systems," said McElroy.
"Each one of those add-ons cost money and sometimes its very difficult to retro fit your existing facility to meet the new standards, so a larger regional facility makes sense so that some of those regulations from the EPA can be eaten a little bit or hidden in the system," said Read.
The more customers you have with your system, the more you can stabilize your rates and spread out those costs that come in the future over a broader customer base," said Perry.
"We are actually a rate-based facility, there are no tax dollars that support the land fill, they are all based on the amount of garbage coming through…so the more waste coming in the more money you have to build a modern designed landfill," said McElroy.
Every regional customer using the Sioux Falls landfill or waste water facility pays the same rate whether they live one mile from the facility or 10 miles; however, surrounding cities also have to pay to get their waste products to the Sioux Falls facilities, which can translate into slightly higher rates for customers in surrounding communities.

ANDERSON, Ind. —
When Donnie and Kris Holland feasted their eyes on a 30-foot by 60-foot barn, they were sold on the property. Sure, it came with five acres and a beautiful house, but the barn was everything Donnie had hoped for in a personal hideaway.
"It had a full workshop and I saw the potential for a man cave," said Donnie, retired from building maintenance at GM. "Now a section of the first floor has a pool table, flat-screened TV and a complete kitchen."
He went right to work completing his vision. Even in the workshop, the walls hadn't been completely insulated and finished. Adding drywall and a bathroom, he has created a cozy spot for work or play. In addition to pool, friends can play chess, darts or even the beautiful organ in the corner.
More often than hosting adult guests, however, the Hollands usher in their grandchildren. Eight boys and one girl make life a whirlwind of activity. To provide even more play space, Donnie created a loft on one side of the barn and finished eight small rooms. With an eye on making them seem like a little village, he used different brick-like paneling around the outside of each door.
"We were going to let them sleep up there when they spent the night," said Kris. "But at the last minute we decided it was unsafe for them. With only one staircase up there, I was worried about a fire. But it's still fun for them to go up and hang out."
Mowing the go-cart track
In the garage section of the barn are parked several vehicles for the kids to ride around the 5-acre property. Previously farmland, the ground is very flat and had few trees — until the Hollands began planting.
"We have planted over 600 trees and bushes since we bought this place in 2003," said Donnie. "It was so open we could see Cross Street out the back. I love trees, the oxygen they give and it does eliminate a lot of mowing."
While Donnie doesn't mow the entire property, he does have a large circle mowed in the center with broad north-south and east-west lines linking it to the edges. He also mows a wide strip around the perimeter, which acts as a perfect go-cart track.
Fruit trees and raspberry bushes provide tasty treats, while the evergreens have already supplied some extended family members with Christmas trees.
Improvements didn't stop at the yard and barn. Donnie continued to use the skills he learned on the job and through his ownership of apartments to alter the home. Transforming a screened-in porch into a large insulated sunroom created a space large enough to seat the entire family during holidays.
In an effort to make the living room homier and more comfortable, he replaced white carpet with hardwood floors so that the kids didn't have to worry about tracking in dirt.
"I love it that my grandkids love to come here," said Kris. "They call this the fun place and also the peaceful place."

Biggest challenge India faces is to get inclusive growth: Chief Justice of India
So, some people will take risks, develop expertise, work hard and
build factories and businesses, while others, who have not
contributed, developed themselves, and are parasites to society, have
to be accommodated through socialist redistribution. Supposedly this
inclusive growth will maintain social stability. All it will do is
promote 'government dependency' and perpetuate reservations and the
like for ever. Sonia Gandhi, brought up on the European welfare state,
expects huge welfare measures in India. She should look at what is
happening to Europe because of the long term effects of those
unsustainable measures. People should educate themselves and their
families and take charge of their own lives and destinies, rather than
live forever on government largess. India is not at a stage where this
can be sustained. Let not the short term FX reserves fool you. There
is a move to use the sale proceeds of PSUs to massively fund social
welfare programs. It should be productive investments.
Measures to be adopted by Govt. To reduce fiscal deficit.
The govt. Should look at the following methods to shore up revenues
instead of always hiking the prices, to reduce the deficit.
1) The first & foremost is govt.policies should be framed in such a
way that they ensure to get due share while allocating natural
resources to private companies instead of giving away at through away
prices. This helps in generating crores of rupees for govt. which can
be used for generating employment and improve infrastructure.
2)Many unwanted subsidies like Rs.1/ per kg.rice, free power to
farmers, should be immediately scrapped and others to be rationilised.
3)Also the govt. should ensure that schemes made by it for poor people
are delivered to them only but not for ineligible candidates.

Flickering candles illuminated the grief stricken faces of the friends and family of Courtney Sipes on the corner of Main Street and Lawrence Avenue in Smithtown Tuesday evening, the corner where her life was taken exactly one-year ago.
"Courtney was quite the special little angel," said her father, Tracy. "She touched a lot of people in a short amount of time."
Dozens of Smithtown and Hauppauge residents gathered for an emotional candlelight memorial to Courtney Sipes on the corner. The solemn ceremony honored her life and emphasized her family's fight for increased pedestrian safety.
"I hope it's a reminder for people during the holiday season to be careful on the streets, both of those walking and on bicycles," said her mother, Lavena. "This shouldn't have to happen to anyone."
Lavena with her husband, Tracey, and son, Cameron, lit three yellow candles in front of a roadside memorial made of flowers, stuffed animals, a light-up angelic statue and small bookcase filled with children's toys. Family friend Naomi Pierro sang the song "Temporary Home" by Carrie Underwood while candles were lit for a moment of silence.
Courtney was hit and killed by a driver high on heroin on the corner of Main Street and Lawrence Avenue in Smithtown on Nov. 24, 2009. She had been with her family at Cornet Music for a music lesson. The driver, 21-year-old Maureen Lambert, pled guilty to vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident on Oct. 25.
"I think these children's lives are affected by what this driver did. What the driver did not only affects this family, the children and the community but one of the reasons we are all here is to promote driver and pedestrian safety during this holiday season," said Hauppauge resident Paul Borowski.
The Sipes' family and friends have created The Courtney Sipes Memorial Foundation dedicated to an "amazingly creative and inspiring young girl" who loved dance, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, acting and more. The foundation will support children with interests and talents in music or arts with scholarships for programs, lessons and more.
It is currently working on compiling a cookbook that will be called "Cooking for Courtney: Recipes and Memories from Family and Friends" full of recipes and anecdotal memories of Courtney that it will sell in June 2011 to raise funds.
In addition, the Sipes' family is seeking creation of a new law called Courtney's Law that will increase penalties for those that leave the scene of an accident where there is a death of serious injury.
Signs of their work with the Department of Transportation to improve pedestrian safety were evident at the ceremony. Several residents remarked on the new iron fence that serves as a barrier between the roadway and sidewalk on the south side of Smithtown Main Street. Other improvements have included highly visible crosswalks, increased parking restrictions, additional pavement markets, and reduced traffic signal lengths while increasing pedestrian crossing.
"We want to thank everyone for coming out tonight and the wonderful support we've gotten from the community, both Hauppauge and Smithtown," Tracy said.
In the upcoming weeks, Lambert is scheduled appear before Judge Stephen Braslow on Dec. 8 to be sentenced to four to 12 years in prison for the Courtney's death.

I'm afraid this one is wrong as well. :-) This runs into the classic problem with defining equals in the presence of subtyping. This code can only work reliably if you declare equals to be final (which is sometimes reasonable to do). If I extend Foo with Bar and add more fields to Bar, this code can result in foo.equals(bar) while !bar.equals(foo). An easy modification of the code to make it more robust is to replace the instanceof check with (o.getClass() == this.getClass()).

At Clinton School in Little Rock, Nancy Pelosi Defends Federal Health Care
by Jeannie Nuss, The Associated Press
Posted 5/2/2013 04:02 pm
Updated 1 year ago
LITTLE ROCK - U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi defended passage of the federal health care overhaul Thursday during a visit to Arkansas.
"Many members of Congress believe that passing the Affordable Care Act was the most monumental achievement in our own lives of public service," Pelosi told the hundreds gathered in Little Rock at an event organized by the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
Pelosi received a standing ovation when she took the stage shortly before praising the federal health care law. But that law and Pelosi herself have faced criticism here in Arkansas, where Republicans now control the Legislature for the first time in more than a century.
Pelosi's visit to Arkansas also comes as two former congressmen are vying to replace Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe, who is term-limited and can't run for re-election in 2014.
Former U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson is among the candidates seeking the Republican nomination, while former U.S. Rep. Mike Ross is among those seeking the Democratic nomination.
Neither attended Pelosi's speech, and Republicans seized on Ross' absence as a chance to criticize him.
"We also hope her visit will remind Arkansas voters that Mike Ross supported Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House on four separate occasions," Arkansas GOP Chairman Doyle Webb said in a statement Thursday. "With that kind of judgment for Speaker, we can't wait to see what Mike Ross plans for Arkansas."
A spokesman for Ross declined to comment.
Pelosi, meanwhile, said she was pleased to have the support of Ross and two other colleagues with Arkansas ties - former Reps. Vic Snyder and Marion Berry - and in her quest for leadership.
Pelosi, of California, has served in the U.S. House of Representatives for more than two decades. She was the first woman to become speaker of the House, a position she held from 2007 to 2011, and, on Thursday, she said she prayed that Hillary Clinton would run for president.
"Let's set aside for a moment the fact that she's a woman," Pelosi said. "As a person, she will be the most qualified person to enter the White House in modern history."
Pelosi ticked off some of Clinton's former titles - first lady, senator and secretary of state - and quipped that perhaps Clinton would address her plans Friday at the dedication of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock.
"Maybe you'll find out tomorrow at the airport, but I don't think so," Pelosi said.

BMX racing goes to young kids | News
Sarasota, Florida - It's a sport redesigned for the tiniest of athletes and some aren't old enough for school... but their passion to compete and win is bigger than them.
The sport of BMX racing has been resized to fit ages 2 to 5 year olds. This weekend about 100 racers are competing in Sarasota for the first Strider World Cup in their age group.
BMX racers from Europe, Asia, South America and across the United States arrive at the Sarasota County BMX Track for clinics Friday morning, before the qualifying round begins that evening.
Don't let their size or age fool you. These BMX racers are ready to compete. They use a pedaless bike called a Strider.
"I want to beat everyone," says 4-year-old Devin Miller.
Organizers say there are about 100 boys and girls registered to race. The track is a serpentine, hilly clay track.
"I use my legs and feet," explains Devin. Using their own leg power, the racers propel themselves across the course, gliding up and down hills.
Three-year-old Brady Colbert from Uticca, New York and his parents flew down for the event. Bill Colbert says his son Brady got his pedaless bike for his first birthday.
"I put him on it and would ride him around the house. Before he was 2, he'd ride in the driveway. Then he picked up his feet and it was all over. I built tracks in the backyard and he rides every day," says Bill. He adds, "He loves to ride. It's all he wants to do. He's passionate about it."
"Mountain biking, BMX racing: this is where it starts," says Ryan McFarland, the inventor of the Strider bike and BMX event for 2 to 5-year-olds. Ryan says the seven pound, pedaless bike made of durable steel frame is light enough for kids to handle. Ryan says, "It's so light, it gives kids good control, gives them the confidence to ride and with feet on the ground there's no fear."
Ryan started working on the bike in 2005 when he realized his older son was having trouble handling his smaller bike with training wheels. Ryan says he tried to come up with a blend of a toddler's scooter -- which kids often use their feet to ride -- and the performance of a bike.
And out came the Strider. The bike costs just under $100 and can be found at www.striderbikes.com.
At this age, parents and organizers say the sport is about kids having fun and learning the fundamentals of riding a bike and competing. "He enjoys it, there's always a smile on his face," says Bill about his son Brady.
Retired BMX racer and four time Half of Fame member Greg Hill, 47, is taking part in Friday's clinics, giving the kids some pointers.
"Remember this is a race, go fast," Greg tells the kids. "Don't look around, don't look at your parents. Look at the track," he adds.
Greg won five professional titles and 10 national titles during his 15 years competing. He says he started riding when he was 10 years old. "You learn to express yourself. You try new stuff, push yourself as much as you can," says Greg.
Besides offering kids a good form of exercise, Greg says it teaches them valuable skills. "Teaches hand and eye coordination, balance, basic skills that whether they race or not they are developing early," says Greg.
The sport was launched into the spotlight in 2008 in Beijing when the Olympic Committee made BMX racing a medal sport. Greg says just like with gymnastics, parents of BMX racers can now see a future in the sport.
"There's the Olympics, they can represent their country. Now the sport's gone big on both ends with Strider and younger kids competing."
Greg says the Strider division of BMX will give kids a jump start on a sport. Many had to wait until they were 6 years old and up just to enter. Greg says, "Probably the best thing that's happened to BMX in my opinion."
The Strider World Cup is taking place at the Sarasota County BMX Track at 1590 North Tuttle Avenue. The qualifying round takes place Friday, October 14th from 5pm - 8pm. The World Cup races are all day Saturday, October 15th starting at 10am. The event is free to the public.
There's also a demo track with bikes for kids to give the sport a try.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
2013 is looking rosy for reigning queen of prep Tory Burch. On New Year's Day, news broke that she had settled the seemingly never-ending legal battle royal with ex-husband Chris Burch. And today, Forbes announced that this very settlement—or, specifically, Chris Burch's move to sell his 28.3% stake in Tory Burch LLC—has helped make Ms. Burch a Billionairess. According to Forbes, Tory's stake in her company is now worth at least one billion dollars (or, if you're tabulating in Burchier ways, think about 5,128,205 pairs of Revas). The Upper East Side favorite will join the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Meg Whitman on the 2013 Forbes World's Billionaires list, out this March.

April 14-17th is going to be an exciting time. Why? Because the 2008 MySQL Conference and Expo is going to be held in Santa Clara, CA.

New Orleans, La.- Students at New Orleans Center for Creative Arts want to interview pop sensation Justin Bieber. The singer will appear in concert in New Orleans next week so the students put on a multi-media blitz inviting him to take part in the campus talk show, NOCCA Talks.
A student-produced video plea went up on YouTube January 3rd. Now, Jac Bedrossian of NOCCA Talks says they're sending nightly tweets of the invitation to Bieber in hopes of getting his attention.
In the video, NOCCA students make the case that they love to sing and dance, just like the pop star and suggest he'd be missing an opportunity if he didn't drop in on the arts intensive school.
Bieber performs January 15th at the New Orleans Arena.
