Photos: Seven new DIA train greetings Michael Hancock should record
Most politicians like to hear themselves talk, but Mayor Michael Hancock may have taken an appreciation for his own voice to a new level over the past three years. During that time, the mayor has recorded at least seventeen messages that been played inside the terminal trains at Denver International Airport. It has all been done in the name of art, of course, since the recording, known as "Train Call," is actually a public art piece -- although a much less menacing one that Leo Tanguma's gas mask-clad marauder in "New World Order."Denver International Airport
But the latest message raised a few eyebrows. That's because Hancock, a Democrat in a predominantly left-leaning city, was welcoming the 24-member Republican National Convention's site-selection committee, who were in town June 9-11 to evaluate whether Denver should play host to the next Clint Eastwood chair-a-thon in 2016.
"This is Mayor Michael Hancock and I'd like to extend a warm Denver welcome to the entire RNC Site Selection Committee. We hope that our vibrant city and friendly people makes us the perfect host for the 2016 Convention," the message said.
(Listen to "Train Call" here.)
Hancock has done messages for specific events in the past. For instance, he wished Colorado swimmer Missy Franklin good luck before the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
He's also cheered on "the USA's women golfers as they compete in the Solheim Cup at the Colorado Golf Club" in August 2013 and wished "all the cyclists from around the world a safe and enjoyable journey as they race 600 miles through our beautiful state in the USA Pro Challenge" that same month.
But this one was different because it was highly specific (it was targeted toward just 24 people) and oddly divisive, since politics don't usually put people at ease -- something that airports try to do for their travelers. And that's all well and good with us. In fact, we've come up with a list of other very specific, possibly divisive messages that the mayor could record as part of the next "Train Call" message. Count them down below.
Number 7: Maureen Dowd
"This is Mayor Michael Hancock and I'd like to extend a warm Denver welcome to New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. We hope that our vibrant city and friendly marijuana salespeople remind you to read the instructions before you consume edibles."Maureen Dowd
Number 6: Denver Comic Con
"This is Mayor Michael Hancock and I'd like to extend a warm Denver welcome to the cast of Star Trek Deep: the Next Generation, in town for Denver Comic Con. We hope that our vibrant planet and friendly Ferengi makes us the perfect host. Make it so."
Continue to keep counting down seven new DIA train greetings Michael Hancock should record.

I hate 'The Bachelor,' 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette.' You know why? 'Cause all them women don't represent. All them women are cute, prissy, soft-spoke, little prissy girls. I can't stand it. Women like that can get married anyway, that's no challenge. I want to see a show with loud, outspoken, bossy bitches. Women who are stalkers. Women who be following a man home, throwing a brick in his windshield. That's my new show. Call it, 'Who Wants to Marry This Bitch?'

Of course I was one of the lucky few to be invited to Chanel's intimate dinner for 125 of New York elites with some Hollywood personalities peppered in to complete this vanity-studded evening.
The event took place on Tuesday night at the newly renovated The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges. The setting was divine as the undisputed purveyor of elegance; Jacques Grange decorated the dining room, including the dining chairs.
This fabulous dinner was to celebrate Chanel's new line of lipstick, Rouge Coco, developed by Chanel Makeup's global creative director Peter Philips, who is paying homage to the legendary designer with this line of rouge. He is also trying to bring back the romance of wearing dreamy lipsticks again, and let me tell you, they are quite dreamy. And it was also to honor Chanel's long time muse and the face of Rouge Coco, Vanessa Paradis. Why Vanessa? Well, she embodies the essence of a Chanel woman, who is modern, active, free-spirited. Plus, she happens to be French and as drop-dead gorgeous in person as she is in photographs!
Anyway, the night was delightfully festive, fun, super chic and Patti Smith was even there as Vanessa's date! Ok, here are some other names I'm dropping Kate Bosworth, Tom Sachs, Terry Richardson, Rachel Zoe, Nina Garcia, Victoria Traina, Daphne Guinness, Alexandra Richards, Heidi Mount, Hope Atherton, Chiara Clemente, Allison Sarofim & Stuart Parr, Amanda Brooks, Aaron Young, Klaus Biesenbach, Poppy De Villeneuve, Marjorie Gubelmann, Lauren Santo Domingo, Mattia Bonetti, Muriel Brandolini, Malcolm McLaren, Mary Frey & Mario Sorrenti.
Had enough? No? Ok, here are some more names Alice St Clair Erskine, Jacqueline and Lola Schnabel, Lauren Remington-Platt, Sophie Auster, Fabiola Beracasa, Jamie Johnson, Margherita Missoni, Diana Picasso, Tabitha Simmons, Dasha Zhukova, Frederic Fekkai, Anouck Lepere, Yvonne Force and Angela Lindvall all enjoyed culinary delights by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, while "Les Fideles de Chanel" (ambassadresses of the brand ) Leigh Lezark, Vanessa Traina, Caroline Sieber, Poppy Delevingne and Jen Brill modeled the new lipstick colours as well as Chanel's rub-on tattoos! Insanely chic
Mais, bien sur! C'est Chanel!

"We were so happy, not only with the adorable cards, but by the fast service! We will definitely be ordering from this company again!"
"We changed the wording on this card to fit for our baby shower. The couple wanted something butterfly themed for their little girl, but neutral, modern and not overly pink/girly. Loved the design of this card, and thankful it allowed us to personalize exactly how we wanted it. Wonderful!"
"This item arrived quickly and perfectly! The recipients all thought it was cute and loved the customization of it. It's a nice thick card and even the envelopes are sturdy! Which was surprising since I'm used to light and flimsy envelopes that can allow the card or pictures to be damaged in the mail. Very cute and would highly recommend any products from Tinyprints!!"
"This product definitely exceeded my expectations. It was done excellently and my family loved receiving such stylish announcements. I added my own little flair to the picture by putting our most recent sonogram pic on it. Paper and print quality was wonderful!"
"This was my first time using Tiny Prints, and I must say that I am beyond impressed. Not only was the site easy to use and navigate, but the customer service was superb. After I submitted my announcement, a customer service representative personally called me to make corrections and suggestions to my card. She was extremely professional and courteous. The quality of the card was also superior to anything I would have expected to order online and from a vendor I had never used before. My order was shipped promptly and even arrived early! I absolutely love this site and the product, I plan to use them again in the future."

Is it okay to sell PageRank now?
[edited by: Brett_Tabke at 12:41 pm (utc) on June 25, 2004] [edit reason] no specifics. Please reread the TOS [/edit]
Of course they still need to put on a stern face when they write about it here to make everyone think it is still very important :)
Interestingly, although they frown on PR manipulation, they have no problem selling Adwords ads to those promoting such techniques.
Also odd that AWA seems to be vigilante and GG needed to step in to make the corporate point of view.
Has Google discovered that too many "important" sites are now selling PR for it to fight with? Banning or downgrading these sites would not only make it look foolish, but would also present it with huge legal problems.
It's nice to see Google between a rock and a hard place. I guess some more devaluation of PR is the best way out of the hole!
If they are actually using terminology that states they are selling links for the benefit of PageRank, then they deserve what may be coming to them.
If you offer advertising solutions on your site you can provide an advertising solution in the form of a text link. As some of us are aware, text links that are well written and provide the correct call to action, convert very well.
You can script the text link ad that you are offering to a client or provide some type of accountable solution by adding some type of tracking software.
What I am trying to say is don't sell page rank, figure out the needs of the business owner and value to their advertising.
Page rank is useless without a sound business model.
But with the correct business model, a high page rank is one of lifes absolute treasures. ;)
Exactly. ;)
Think about it, anyone who's anyone in the business knows about page rank. They know what it is, most of them know how it works, and some of them know what it's worth..
If people sell a text link from their site based PURELY on PR, they are basically selling higher SERPs (or atleast used to be, now that's iffy of course). There's an entire economy based on buying text links that has been built around pagerank, which makes people think GOOGLE. Even if it's meaningless, I still have trouble buying or even just exchanging links with someone who has minimal PR, it's become a status symbol if nothing else. The only other thing that even comes CLOSE is Alexa Ranking, which everyone on the planet knows is BS (I personally got a site I haven't released yet down under 600,000 because I do a lot of work on it, upload it, and check it live, so it's a ton of refreshing).
I think Google must be happy with their position.
There is a big difference, however, between selling PR and selling text links and mentioning that your site has a decent PR. Many of these companies who sell PR are adding your link to 89398539485 link farms, and many of them are adding them to 50 of their own pages, which aren't link farms, but instead a huge cross linking experiement, both of which are bad for the system. Just selling a text link, even if you openly say that you have a decent PR, and it may increase the buyers, in no way will bother google. In fact, it probably gives them a pat on the back.
That's a very astute observation there PageOne!
And when that PageRank is gone (or not passed) everyone "should" get there money back... since the link wasn't what was promised!
I'm assuming you think buying it is dumb, too.
What if (for example) you have a site with lots of content that doesn't lend itself to linking (e.g., a shopping site) and your pages are not being crawled because your PR is too low? Wouldn't it then make sense?
Let's remember people that PR and Alexa ratings are indicators only and yes they can be influenced through a variety of methods which will in turn affect rankings and the like but in the long term the best way to built a good PR is through relevant recipricol links, good content, well designed internal page links etc...
Selling PR, let's get serious... who cares! ;)
>Selling PR in theory doesn't make all that much sense as the PR of a site is a snapshop at a particular point of time and in the future the PR of a site will change, whether up the scale or down.
So to conform with truth in advertising, perhaps we should refer to this practise as "leasing" page rank.
If your 'selling PR' it is ok provided it is on-topic and of reciprical benefit.
There is no magical rule, only common sense. People build links all the time, just make sure it is on-topic and sell your traffic all you want.
Yeah, the same people are yet to work out that there are no shortcuts, and when you find one you are headed in the wrong direction.
Work hard > across the board, not in one area. PageSpank will catch you up eventually. Trick is to forget about it! easy to say...

Problem with window.open in my .js file
Hi All,
I have just recenently added a new print function to my .js file and deleted the older ones. The only problem is it does not work. I have tried moving, switching, and renaming parts, if not all, of the function in an attempt to fix it. As far as I can tell it should work. The following is the function that is located in my .js file.
//Open Misc
function openMiscWindow(TargURL,CID,W,H) {
URL = TargURL
WinW = W
WinH = H
popupWin = window.open(URL+ID,'target01_window,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,scrollbars =1,resizable=1,dependent=0,width='+WinW,'height='+WinH,'left=10,top=10')
Here is the javascript in the page that is calling this function.
javascript: openMiscWindow('wedding_clients_admin_print.asp?ClientID=',<%=RS("custID")%>,720,550);
Keep in mind that the <%= rs("custID") %> will be replaced with a number when the server processes the page, that is why it is not surrounded in quotes. All the other functions for these pages works fine. It's just this one that is giving me problems. I know I'm probably missing something obviouse, but I have been looking at this code for so long everything is starting to look the same. Any help would be appreciated.

A missing apostrophe or two...
May I also suggest that you change the left and top values to correct for screen.availTop and screen.availLeft, if the user happens to have the taskbar on the top or left edge?Code:window.open(URL+ID,'target01_window','menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,scrollbars=1,resi zable=1,dependent=0,width='+WinW,'height='+WinH,'left=10,top=10');
Also, you only need to list the features that you explicitly want to activate. Default is disabled for all that the browser allow disabling.

Oct 23rd 2009 5:43PM So, I've been thinking about this whole LFG system and I realized just how easily players could wind up getting griefed by people from various other servers.
Imagine if your "tank" was actually a boomkin who decided to check himself off as a tank. Imagine if your "healer" was a shadow priest with no healing spec.
Imagine how bad this could get... because mark my words, people will do exactly that.
Patch 3.3 PTR: New LFG interface {WoW}
Oct 21st 2009 8:08PM Hmmm.... Normally, I'd be a little leary of running with a complete and total pug, without even having them be from my server...
However, the prospect of getting as much as 884g (13 dungeons, 68g each) every day, plus the 51 badges and whatever vendorable loot you get...
I think I may actually *use* this system! I mean, it can't really be much worse than pugging on my own server, I've just got a lot larger group to pug with.
So, another question that comes to mind is the summoning stones. How does that work in cross-server LFG? Do the players get insta-ported to the dungeon, or do they have to all make their way to whatever dungeon the system chooses for them, and then zone in?
How does that work?

Granted, if a massive aoe-stun to undead costs me less mana because it's dealing less holy damage, I'm fine with it.

Thumbs up to Sonic
Zoning Commission recommends plans for restaurant, Candlewood Suites
Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Craig The Craig Planning and Zoning Commission voted Monday to recommend the Craig City Council approve site plans for two projects, which Chairman Jim Meineke said were good for the city.
The Commission unanimously voted in favor of plans for a Sonic Drive-In restaurant on a lot in front of the Wal-Mart SuperCenter, and plans for a Candlewood Suites Motel just east of First Street and Colorado Highway 13.
Meineke cited the increases in sales tax revenue from these two businesses as an example of progressive growth for the city.
Community Development Director Dave Costa told the Zoning Commission as much during its work session before the official meeting. There seemed to be no reasons for denial, he said.
"These are going to be good-looking buildings," Costa said. "Both of them have exceeded all of our requirements."
Mayor Don Jones had the only remaining concern about Sonic.
Although the city requires parking spaces to be 9 1/2 feet wide, that might not be big enough, he said.
"Everyone in Craig drives Dooley trucks," Jones said. "Is that going to give people enough room to park side-by-side?"
Probably not in cases where two wide trucks have their side mirrors all the way out, Costa answered.
"But until we increase our width requirements for parking spaces, there's not much we can do," he said.
The Sonic site plans call for 24 carhop stations, a drive-thru line and a patio with picnic tables.
There will not be any inside seating.
Zoning Commission members Randy Kloos and Chris Nichols excused themselves from participating in the discussion surrounding Sonic.
Kloos owns the land parcels surrounding Wal-Mart, where Sonic will be built, and Nichols owns the McDonald's franchise in Craig. Although both said they would have voted to approve the project based on its merits, they did not want to proceed when the possibility of a conflict existed.
Candlewood Suites will be tailored for extended-stay guests. Each room includes a kitchen, and there will be a Laundromat on the property.
The council will review both projects at its meeting Feb. 12. If the council approves them, developers can pay for building permits at any time, Costa said.
Both projects most likely will begin construction this spring, after harsh winter weather conditions have passed, Zoning Commission members and project representatives said.

Not all of us drive big "dually trucks" --which by the way was spelled incorrectly by the Daily Press. I do have a big truck (not a dually) and I have had it in a sonic before with no problems. It's a tight squeeze but I pull my passenger side in as close as I can so that I can get out and order that way. The rear end of the truck is not where the tight fit is at-it's the front where the ordering boards are at. There's always the center ordering area and a drive up window as well. At least at all the sonic's I have been too there are. Dually's can't fit in most drive-up's around here anyhow and the owners of them never gripe about having to get out and go inside to order; even if it is "to go". I think I see more cars, SUV's and regular pick-up trucks around here than dually's. I'm all for a sonic!!

Sonic will be okay, if we needed another burger joint. As the poll last week shows, We need another Good family resturant, or maybe a Steak place. Craig did NOT need anothe Mexican food place, at least one resturant ago, maybe two.

PCSO releases video of fatal officer-involved shooting
PHOENIX -- The Pinal County Sheriff's Office released video of a fatal officer-involved shooting Wednesday that took the life of an Eloy, Ariz. man.
PCSO said it released the video below after varying accounts of the incident were reported by media.
Victor Arenas, 25, was outside his home about 4 a.m. Sunday checking on a possible intruder. That's when a man identified as Arenas yelled at Officer Richard Timmes for shining his flashlight at him. Authorities said Arenas then pointed a gun at the officer.
Timmes yelled at Arenas to put the gun down but he fired at the officer instead. Timmes returned fire, hitting Arenas. The man ran a short distance before collapsing. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Document - Italy: Parliament must legislate against homophobic and transphobic hate crimes
Ai Index: EUR 30/007/2013
25 July 2013
Italy: Parliament must legislate against homophobic and transphobic hate crimes
Italy must tackle without delay hate crimes based on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, Amnesty International said as the Italian Parliament debates a bill on homophobic and transphobic crimes.
Italian legislation foresees some specific crimes, including physical violence, motivated by race, ethnicity or religion. Moreover, whenever a crime is committed on the basis of the race, ethnicity or religion of the victim, this is considered as an aggravating circumstance. However, neither of these provisions applies to crimes motivated by the sexual orientation or gender identity of the victims.
Civil society organizations report hundreds of such crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people every year. Most of these crimes have not been properly investigated and have gone unpunished, although they are serious manifestations of discrimination. The lack of relevant legislation hinders the police and prosecuting authorities from unmasking homophobic and transphobic hate motives behind the perpetration of crimes, and hampers victims' efforts to obtain justice.
In March 2013, Amnesty International spoke to Michelle, a young Italian trans woman, who was physically attacked in a pub in Catania in February 2012. She was targeted because of her gender identity.
"They beat me because of who I am, because I have a face that is a bit masculine and because they understood I was a trans person from my voice", she told Amnesty International.
Although the suspects of this attack may be charged and sentenced for causing bodily injuries, the specific discriminatory motive behind the attack cannot be explicitly taken into account in the prosecution and the sentence. If Michelle had been attacked because of her ethnicity, for instance, that alleged motive could have been taken into account in the legal proceeding and reflected in the sentence.
The Italian Parliament has now an opportunity to provide protection to Michelle and others in the same situation, who have had to wait for far too long without any explicit and adequate legal protection. But to fully enjoy this opportunity, it is paramount that the new law covers all relevant gaps, in terms both of the specific crime and of the aggravating circumstances.
To this aim, Amnesty International urges the Italian Parliament to adopt a law which includes sexual orientation and gender identity among the list of discriminatory motives associated with the specific crimes defined in Decree Law 122/1993. Further, the Parliament should amend the article of the same decree on aggravating circumstances by adding sexual orientation and gender identity.
Amnesty International recalls that "Combat homophobia and transphobia and guarantee the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people" constitutes one of ten points included in the organization's Agenda for Human Rights in Italy, published in January 2013 ahead of general elections in the country.
Before elections took place in February 2013, the leaders of the main political parties, including Silvio Berlusconi (People of Freedom party) and Pierluigi Bersani (Democratic Party) signed that specific commitment among others. Although Mario Monti (Civic Choice party) did not sign it, he expressly declared his commitment to fight against homophobia and any other discrimination. In addition, Amnesty International's Agenda for Human Rights in Italy was signed by more than a hundred candidates later elected in Parliament, from various political parties, including Five Star Movement and Left and Freedom. It is now time for the members of parliament to honour this commitment in action by acknowledging and legislating against homophobic and transphobic hate crimes.

Have Galatasaray joined Europe's elite following double signing?
Having been the headline act of the January transfer window, Galatasaray have no intention of being bashful.
"We have added Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba to an already very strong team," sporting director Bulent Tulun told BBC Sport.
"I think we can go all the way to the end of the Champions League and win it, I really do."
The acquisition of Sneijder two weeks ago was a significant signal of intent from the Turkish league leaders.
Just three years ago the Dutch playmaker was the fulcrum of an Inter Milan side that won an unprecedented treble and a Netherlands team that reached the World Cup final.
Yes, Inter Milan were desperate to offload the player and his massive salary. But Sneijder was under contract at the San Siro until 2015 and did not have to leave, and Liverpool had also expressed interest in him.
Galatasaray's foreign legion
- Milan Baros (31, Czech Republic)
- Didier Drogba (34, Ivory Coast)
- Emmanuel Eboue (29, Ivory Coast)
- Johan Elmander (31, Sweden)
- Felipe Melo (29, Brazil, pictured)
- Fernando Muslera (26, Uruguay)
- Dany Nounkeu (26, Cameroon)
- Albert Riera (30, Spain)
- Wesley Sneijder (28, Holland)
- Tomas Ujfalusi (34, Czech Republic)
The fact he chose Galatasaray was a major coup for the Istanbul side.
While they identified Sneijder as their main transfer target several months ago, the chance to sign Drogba arrived quite late.
With Turkish Football Association rules permitting clubs to have just 10 foreign players on their books, Galatasaray had intended to make Manchester City defender Kolo Toure their final one.
Then, shortly before Christmas, Drogba's agent Pierre Frelot called Tulun to tell him Shanghai Shenhua had not been paying their players.
"That was when we started talks, but we still didn't know whether we would be able to do a deal," revealed Tulun, who handles all transfer activity for Galatasaray.
"Suddenly last week, things got moving. On Sunday, I went to South Africa, to Rustenburg, to the training camp of the Ivory Coast team [who are based there for the Africa Cup of Nations] and we were able to sign the agreement."
Galatasaray will now have to wait two weeks for world governing body Fifa to decide whether to sign off the deal, as Shenhua claim Drogba has breached his contract and are refusing to release his registration. Tulun insists he is not worried though, saying he is "100% certain" the deal will go through.
Chelsea had also made an offer for the powerful Ivorian, but he chose Galatasaray rather than returning to the club he had inspired to a Champions League triumph last May.
Tulun is understandably elated about the signing, describing it as "the most significant in the history of Turkish football".
The big question for fans across Europe, though, is why Sneijder and Drogba chose Galatasaray ahead of Premier League suitors.
Galatasaray's class of 2000
- Manager: Fatih Terim
- Star players: Claudio Taffarel, Gheorghe Popescu, Gheorghe Hagi, Hakan Sukur
- Domestic trophies: Turkish Cup
- Europe: Uefa Cup (beat Arsenal side featuring Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp & Patrick Vieira on penalties in final); European Super Cup (beat a Real Madrid side with Raul, Luis Figo & Claude Makelele)
The lure of the Champions League is a major factor. Galatasaray face German side Schalke in the last 16 of the tournament next month and expect to at least reach the quarter-finals.
And in Fatih Terim, they have a coach of some repute. The 59-year-old, who has also managed the Turkish national side and AC Milan and Fiorentina, led the club to the greatest triumphs in their history in 2000.
That was when a team inspired by Gheorghe Hagi, the "Maradona of the Carpathians ", beat Arsenal to win the Uefa Cup before seeing off a star-studded Real Madrid team in the European Super Cup.
The current Galatasaray squad already contains some stellar names, such as Brazil international Felipe Melo, Czech defender Tomas Ujfalusi, former Liverpool duo Albert Riera and Milan Baros, ex-Arsenal player Emmanuel Eboue and former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder Hamit Altintop.
And Tulun's recruitment policy has clearly been the opposite of a club such as Liverpool, where investing in youth and potential has been key. Instead, he has sought experienced, ageing internationals capable of making an immediate impact.
Money, of course, has also been a key factor in enticing Drogba and Sneijder to Istanbul. The Ivory Coast striker will reportedly be paid £8.6m for his 18 months in Turkey, while Sneijder will be on £3.7m-a-season during his three-and-a-half-year contract, according to Turkish media.
These salaries will be further sweetened by a top rate of tax for footballers in Turkey of 15%, although there are proposals for this to be raised to 35%.
Add in the fact that Istanbul is a historic, bustling city of 20 million inhabitants, and that a burgeoning Turkish league features the likes of Raul Meireles, Hugo Almeida and Dirk Kuyt, and you do have an attractive proposition.
Cetin Cem Yilmaz Sports editor, Hurriyet Daily News"The new stadium was effectively paid for by taxpayers, many of whom are Fenerbahce or Besiktas fans"
So how have Galatasaray managed to afford Sneijder and Drogba?
The club came 30th in Deloitte's recent "money league" for the 2011-12 season, with annual revenue of £81.4m.
But Unal Aysal, president of the club since May 2011, runs a huge energy and development firm and is worth an estimated £317.3m, making him the 42nd richest man in Turkey, according to Forbes .
He has put some of his fortune into the club, while their run to the Champions League knock-out stages has also been lucrative.
Two other key - and controversial - factors also boosted Galatasaray's coffers. The club moved from their historic Ali Sami Yen home in the centre of Istanbul to the Turk Telecom Arena on the outskirts of the city in January 2011.
This meant swapping an atmospheric, though outdated, stadium with a capacity of 23,477 for a brand-new home with a capacity of 52,652.
Cetin Cem Yilmaz , sports editor of the Hurriyet Daily News , explains why the move created controversy.
"The Ali Sami Yen Stadium, like most others in Turkey, was owned by the government and leased to Gala," he said.
"The government agreed to fund the building of a new stadium, which has hugely increased Gala's matchday revenue. This means it was effectively paid for by taxpayers, many of whom are Fenerbahce or Besiktas fans.
"Galatasaray would argue that in return the government got the old stadium, which is in a prime location in the centre of Istanbul and of considerable value."
The club also pushed through a complex share issue in 2010, which raised £62.8m for the club. A similar scheme is planned soon. These will help the club when it comes to complying with Uefa's Financial Fair Play regulations.
Time will only tell whether this can turn them into a true force in European football.

Ok so I applied for a Wells Fargo secured card and was denied they said my experian credit score was 591. I applied for a US Bank secured and was approved and they said my experican credit score is 566. So which is truly my score?
Did they say EX FICO score or EX score?
Wells Fargo states:
Your credit score, a FICO score(they had fico in all caps), used by us in taking the above action is 591, which is created on March 1, 2013 and provided by a credit reporting agency, Experian , PO BOX 2002, Allen, TX 75013
U.S. Bank states:
Your credit score is 566
Source: Experian PO BOX 2002, Allen, TX 75013
There are many versions of credit scores that are available to both financial institutions and consumers, the version used was Experian FICO Classic V3.
(date checked score 2/22/13)
So which one is truly a FICO credit score is are both of these FAKO?
If they said FICO, then each of them are FICOs, just different versions. The one from US Bank says it is a FICO classic V3.
Both are real.
is both are real then which one is correct? could it be us bank which pulled my score on 2/22/13 and when wells fargo pulled it on 3/1/13 and the score was 591...could it have gone up?
But then that doesnt make sense either because wells fargo has a promotion where you can check your credit score for free with a provided promotional code. When I checked Experian on 3/12/13 it said my vantage score is 552. Im so confused!!!
Ok so I have another confusing problem. US Bank has a thing for cardholders that can check the score for free and the version that this one used is:
Your Experian Credit Score is based on the Plus Score model and is for
educational purposes and is not the score used by lenders.
My score is 591
So is this a FAKO?
They are both real FICO scores, just different versions. Each version will provide a somewhat different score because of the algorithm used to get the score.
They are both correct for the version that was used.
The one from the EX is not a real FICO score and shouldn't be used for comparison with a real FICO score.

From your other post they said the 566 was based on FICO Classic V3 which is a real FICO score.
What they offer for checking your score for free is the EX Plus score and is not a real FICO. It says it is for educational purposes only and not the score used by lenders. The 591 Plus Score is a FAKO.
Thanks for clarification. This is so confusing. I have seen about 6 scores this week. ALL DIFFERENT!!! Geez!!!!1
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.

10th Annual South Asian International Film Festival Opens Tonight With a 'Monsoon Shootout'
Movie News By Rob Hunter on December 3, 2013 | Comments (1)"Asian cinema" is often used as a catch-all term, but while it's bad enough that a multitude of countries and cultures are summed up so generically it's made worse by the realization that too many people think those countries in question consist solely of Japan, South Korea, and China. Technically speaking those three would fall under the East Asian label, but while they get the most press there is great cinema to be found elsewhere in the region. North Asia has seen recent success with the Russian films, Elena and Stalingrad, Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi has helped stimulate interest in West Asian films thanks to his Oscar-winning A Separation, and one of the best action films in years (The Raid) came out of Southeast Asia's Indonesia. This week though, attention turns to the Tenth Annual South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF) in NYC. The fest runs tonight through Sunday (December 3rd-8th) and highlights cinema from countries including India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and more. To most people, Indian movies means Bollywood, but while that's a big, bright, musical part of their cinematic culture they actually have far more to offer. That includes the opening night film, Monsoon Shootout, which is the only one on this year's roster that I've already seen and happily one I can say without a doubt is worth seeing. Keep reading for a look at all of the films playing at this year's South Asian International Film Festival.
Cannes 2013 Review: Gimmicky Action Thriller 'Monsoon Shootout' Musters Little Adrenaline
Cannes Film Festival By Shaun Munro on May 20, 2013 | Be the First To Comment"Midnight screening" – these are two words associated with high-octane, fast-thrills entertainment, the sort of movie you might check out after imbibing a few (or more than a few) pints and heading to your local cinema. The Cannes Film Festival is no different, and their small strand of Midnight Screenings are typically reserved for anticipated, exotic movies that nevertheless would not sit pretty in the main branches of the fest. Monsoon Shootout might by title alone sound like a worthy addition to that canon, though writer-director Amit Kamur's first turn behind the steering wheel proves wildly unsatisfying and technically slapdash. In downtown Mumbai, a serial killer known as The Axe Man, real name Shiva (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), is running rampant, carrying out hits for his boss, known only as the Slum Lord. Rookie cop Adi (Vijay Varma) is one day faced with taking Shiva down, though the choices he can make – to wound, kill or arrest the perp – have wildly varying consequences, as we learn over the course of the film.

After my first project, I found out how important precise cuts are. My second project was SO much better when I got more precise with my saw. Those projects involved boards I could cut myself with the miter saw.
Today I went to one of the box stores to start on my third project, which involves plywood. I don't have the know-how to cut it myself (I so wish I did). The cuts are horrible. He marked the cuts with a highlighter (how do you get a precise cut with a thick highlighter?). I needed two pieces 12" wide for the hutch sides. I got one 1/8" shy of 12" and another almost 1/4" larger. When I asked if we could even them up, he said it was real close and he thought I could "make it work". Since when is 1/4" "real close" in woodworking?
How do you get them to give you accurate cuts? I had hoped I would get all my pieces cut out to their measurements and now I have little hope to even get accurate "Ana boards" (like when she says to have them rip a plywood sheet into 1x16s). This guy couldn't give me two accurate 12" wide pieces.
I don't know what to do now. Does anyone have them cut your entire project out? Have you had success with that? Asking for an experienced associate would not have helped with this guy. He knew how to work the saw (even helped another associate with it) and thought he was accurate. He even made a show of remeasuring the cut after he pulled it off the saw and put it on the carrier. The other cuts besides the 12" boards were somewhat better, but none were right on.
I guess I would like to know:
1)Is there a good reference for learning how to rip your own sheet of plywood out there? I'm scared to death of the circular saw (kick back), but willing to work through that after this. I just need to know what I'm supposed to be doing.
2)How accurate should I expect the cuts to be at orange/blue? I know 1/4" isn't acceptable, but do others generally get good accuracy at the box stores?
3)Anyone get their entire projects cut out at orange/blue? Or just get them cut into the board widths and then cut them down themselves?
Thanks for any help. Highly discouraged tonight...

Russian bonds climbed to a record and stocks rose to the highest since 2008 as commodity prices advanced and the government met investors ahead of its first Eurobond sale since 1998, boosting sentiment for equities.
The yield on Russia's 7.5 percent dollar bonds due 2030 fell 9 basis points to an all-time low of 4.829 percent. OAO Gazprom, the world's biggest gas producer, gained 4 percent, helping push the 30-stock Micex (INDEXCF) Index up 1.8 percent to 1,526.61 in Moscow, its highest close since July 24 2008.
Crude oil, Russia's key export earner, snapped five days of declines as a weaker dollar made commodities a more attractive alternative investment. Government officials including Deputy Finance Minister Dmitry Pankin are meeting with investors in London and Singapore today as Russia returns to international capital markets for the first time since defaulting on $40 billion of domestic debt in 1998.
"There is lots of interest surrounding the Eurobond issuance," said Luis Saenz, a London-based director of international sales at brokerage Otkritie Securities Ltd., in e- mailed comments. "The risk of default by Russia is so remote, which is a boon for equities."
Yields have fallen from 12 percent in October 2008 as oil prices rebounded above $80 a barrel, spurring the economy's recovery from its worst slump since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Crude oil climbed as much as $1 to $85.05 per barrel in New York.
Nickel rose 1.4 percent to $25,850 a ton, after touching $25,990, the highest intraday price since May 21, 2008. Aluminum for three-month delivery rose 0.7 percent to $2,453 a ton after reaching $2,462, the strongest intraday price since Sept. 29, 2008.
The Russian currency added 0.3 percent to 28.9650 per dollar in Moscow trading, the highest closing level since Nov. 25. It gained 0.1 percent to 39.5000 per euro.
Investors pared bets that the ruble will weaken, with non- deliverable forwards showing the currency at 29.21 per dollar in three months compared with an NDF of 29.28 on April 13. The contracts are a guide to expectations of currency movements as they allow foreign investors and companies to fix the exchange rate at a particular level in the future.

Gonzaga Journal of International Law Symposium
The Gonzaga Journal of International Law
Annual Symposium
"Immigration and Migration: Theory and Practice"
Friday, March 21, 2014
8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Barbieri Courtroom, Gonzaga Law School
The Gonzaga Journal of International Law (GJIL) invites GU alumni, students, faculty, attorneys, and the general public to attend its annual Symposium on Friday, March 21. The GJIL Symposium is an opportunity for legal scholars and practitioners to come together to discuss contemporary questions and challenges in the area of international law. The theme of this year's Symposium is "Immigration."
The Symposium will endeavor to provide a holistic overview of the immigration process in the United States as compared to other countries by examining the topic in multiple ways and from multiple perspectives.
A domestic discussion will include: immigration reform, policy, and practice. Underlying these issues are continued concerns regarding rights of immigrants detained in the U.S. This will facilitate a deeper discussion regarding deportation, conditions for detainees, and other issues relating to basic human rights. In the domestic portion of this CLE, panelists will provide insight to these issues by examining US policy, procedure, and attempts at reform.
Next, a comparative discussion will be offered examining differences between the approaches taken by the United States toward immigrant issues as opposed to other, more conflict driven regions of the world. By engaging in this discussion, attendee's will be better suited to evaluate immigrant issues and think more deeply about what drives U.S. policy concerns with respect to immigrants and immigration reform. Through this discussion, panelists will offer insight into cultural and human rights issues that may play an important role worldwide causing increased immigration of certain groups to new countries.
Finally, to round out the discussion, panelists will put faces to the general term "immigrant." Who is this person and what brought them to a new country? Through the use of first-hand accounts and advocates who specialize in assisting people who are either refugees or who are in need of political asylum, attendees will come to better understand the variety of ways one may find themselves immigrating to a new country and the various legal barriers that stand in their way. Further, accounts of those who are charged with the task of enforcing domestic immigration policy will be provided to stimulate discussion about the daily realities.
6 CLE credits, including 1 ethics credit, will be offered in connection with this day-long Symposium.
