Overnight stay only but the hotel provided all my needs. Comfortable, quiet and clean."
For access into/out of Barcelona Sants train station this hotel is unbeatable, new, fair price, clean, excellent service, good-different and directly above the train station! But staying here is not seeing Barcelona...long walk to first sites. The modernistic room designs are cool and cute but bathroom area lighting lights room for others in nighttime. Like all hotels, never enough accessible electronic device charging outlets. If this hotel offered a shuttle to the Barcelona marina area, etc. it would greatly up its utility, and, rating."
Great hotel close to everything with buses and cabs and shopping at doorstep. Front desk was very helpful with dinner and show reservations. Convenient location."
Though a bit an old building but tech & modern ready."
Hotel has VERY old rooms and some newly refurbished. At the beginning we've been given an old room where WiFi signal was very poor (almost non existant). After complaining, the next day we've been given a different room - fully refurbished."
Great location right in the middle of Grand Via and 2 metro stops, so every important sights in Madrid city is within 15 to 20 minutes walk or you can use the metro. The hotel facade is under renovation which was a pity, otherwise the rooftop terrace would have been awesome. Building is old and the rooms small but comfortable, all amenities are there. However, noises from the street can be heard all night long if your room overlooks the street. Some front desk staff are unfriendly but others were helpful, one in particular went in search of a portable heater for me as the room air conditioning only had 2 settings...cold and colder and the main heating system was switched off."
Stayed during holy week (Semana Santa) and many streets were blocked off due to processions so parked 10 blocks away and walked. Processions ran until about 5AM but the room was fairly quite. Staff was stern but was thorough and helpful. Good locations."
Perfect location to stay if you plan on site seeing old town Sevilla. We only stayed for 1 night as a transition to the airport. The hotel was very clean and the staff was very accommodating. Rented 2 rooms for 4 people. One room had a defective air conditioner blower and was very hot. The staff quickly moved us to an up graded room. The hotel has paid parking if you're driving but is expensive @ 25 euros a night. A parking garage is available a short distance away at a cheaper rate but was full so we had to wait for 30-45 minutes for a vehicle to leave. I would stay here again should we make a return trip to Sevilla."
Nice quite hotel with very friendly staff, and very well located."
Great hotel, excellent service, and superb location."
Have stayed at this hotel before and as before we were impressed with the comfort of the bedroom and the lovely breakfast the following morning."

COLUMBUS — The village of Ada was honored by the Ohio Department of Public Safety on Tuesday for its continued efforts to ensure community safety.
Chief Michael Harnishfeger of the Ada Police Department was presented with the "I Contribute" Award, a newly created honor meant to highlight individuals or organizations working to ensure Ohio is a safe place in which to live.
Harnishfeger helped create the Seeking Aid From Every Resident, or S.A.F.E.R., policing program, which is designed to engage with community members in preserving community safety through such methods as community alert systems, safety education for children, and community safety awards.
"The idea for S.A.F.E.R. came on the heels of 9/11," Harnishfeger said in a statement. "I was thinking of ways to keep our village safer as a result of the terrorist attack on our nation. Realizing that Ada is not New York City, or an otherwise large target, the fact remains that people as a whole, not just law enforcement, must remain vigilant to keep a safer community, state and nation. Law enforcement cannot do it alone."
With the Department of Public Safety recently launching its "A Safer Ohio" campaign, Ada's program is an ideal example of the campaign's goals.
"This campaign is meant to ask ourselves what we can do to contribute to a safer Ohio," said Kristen Castle, public information officer for the Department of Public Safety. "When Chief Harnishfeger found out about that, he let us know about what they've been doing on the local level, we thought that this would be the type of example we'd be looking for for an award. We said in our presentation that Ada is 12 years ahead of us."
Harnishfeger and the Ada Police Department also use the S.A.F.E.R. program to bring various members of the community together to take ownership of the village's safety. The program has a community that is made up of members of law enforcement, representatives from Ohio Northern University and other area schools, local business and government representatives as well as members of the general public. S.A.F.E.R. signs are also placed strategically throughout the community as a highly visible reminder to residents of the need for everyone to be vigilant in promoting a safe community.
"Everything we do is centered around S.A.F.E.R. as a continual reminder that it takes all of us working together to keep our community safer," Harnishfeger said.

PFW "Clobbers" Cam Newton
Saw this blurb on Pro Football Talk ( http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...rs-cam-newton/ )
It's hard not to be concerned about Newton's flaws, but man is he talented. Maybe he'll be a bust in the NFL or maybe he'll be a player who can perform on the field despite off field drama, kind of like Roethlisberger. The commments in the article seem a little overboard. It says "continually invites trouble", but I don't know of any trouble he's gotten into recently. He got in legal trouble at UF, but I don't know of any legal problems since. It's not really known how much fault he has in the pay-for-play drama.
it's the NFL not the boy scouts. I don't know that a person needs to be worthy of marrying your daughter to lead a franchise. Look at Brett Favre.
I guarantee that if someone picks Cam Newton in the Top 5 they will regret it.
Very disingenuous has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup. Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room . . . Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable.
Way over the top for someone who goes to the trouble of attempting to 'objectively' write up a report about an NFL prospect.
It's shocking to me how many draft analysts allow their personal feelings about a prospect to pollute their evaluation of a player.
Cam smiles ALL THE TIME, to the point that it can become annoying, but I wouldn't say it's fake. Does it mean he's happy to see you?? Not really. But it's almost reflexive, meaning that's how he expresses himself, but that still doesn't mean it's contrived or a hustle.
Warren Sapp is a guy who smiles a lot, doesn't mean he was a sweet heart on the football field.
Another BS critique is that Newton will struggle to win a lockerroom; Cam's strength as a player is and has always been from within the lockerroom, because of his competitiveness and his play on the field.
Auburn believed they were the best team whenever they stepped on the field because their QB believed that he was the best player on the field - confidence flows down from the top.
Auburn by any measure played over their heads last season, which is easy to do when a truly special talent at QB is able to elevate his team's level of play on both sides of the football.
Another lame Cam Newton evaluation that begins and ends at Florida and totally skips what Cam did after he left the Gators program.
The team that drafts Newton should find him a professional mentor. Maybe a current QB, like McNabb, for him to sit behind a year, or maybe a QB coach who knows how to help Newton develop as a person and pro. What's Randall Cunningham up to these days? :D
cam newton ganked a laptop and may have taken money.
these are not comparable situations.
on 30 for 30 they showed eric dickerson took a trans-am from texas A&M did that make him a bad NFL running back?
Hey Matt,
Here is the $64,000 Question:
"Would you risk your job, reputation and future of your franchise on Cam Newton?"
I certainly wouldn't.
I think having Chan Gailey as his HC would be the perfect situation for Cam.
IMO those guys speak the same language and would really go a long way towards furthering his development as a pro on and off the field.
Newton's biggest challenge as a pro won't be the football part, it's who he surrounds himself with when he's not wearing pads.
A small blue collar city like Buffalo playing for a former QB like Gailey who's coached similar athletes at the QB position before would be ideal for Cam.
In the end, talent wins out. Newton has got a ton of talent. Whether he reaches his potential or not is another thing, but like has been pointed out Roethlisberger, Vick, Favre, and others have had their serious character flaws overlooked as long as they were winning games. If Cam Newton wins games (which he did at Auburn, which he did in JC), then ultimately who cares if he wins the lockerroom. Jay Cutler is the obvious example of a QB that can be successful w/o being a team spokesperson or everyone's best friend. I don't see Brady hanging out with his teammates. Sure you can say, "lead by example", but the best example you can show is winning football games. Vick admitted to being the last one in and 1st one out of the building for practice, meetings and film session when he was young. Yet, he had no problems in Atlanta until he went to prison.
He just seems slimy to me. I'm very afraid my Bills take him at #3.
How will his perceived over confidence go over in the locker room after he has a 3 INT game in a terrible performance?
All his so called character issues will seem insignificant if he goes in, works hard and wins games. However if I'm picking high in the draft and I cant afford to miss on the pick Im not going to be overly confident he can do that.
Look, I am as annoyed as almost anyone by Cam Newton, and I definitely think he has gotten too much of a pass for all his off-field situations, but I can't believe how irresponsible of a critique that was by Nawrocki. Like he can really sincere Cam is in his very limited encounters with him.
Also, to say he can't lead a locker room full of young men also doesn't seem to have any merit behind it. The guy has won two national championships as a starting QB, and his Auburn team won numerous close games in the fourth quarter this year.
In all, I have read and/or heard much of Nawrocki's insight through the years, and I have to say I vehemently disagree with Scott. I think this guy is cancerous to the draft community. I found a great deal of his critique highly ironic since he has often demonstrated himself to be a hyperbole machine whose main focus is not to deliver objective news or analysis but to draw attention to his own perceived genius. Seriously, I have no use for the guy.
I have to agree with his assessment to a point. He does get a little scathing. Newton does come off as disingenuous to me and full of himself. He buys into his own hype. He is NOT a once in a generation talent. He is cut from the same ilk as many of the other mobile spread option QBs to come out in recent years. He played in a simplistic offense for one year. Physical talent is great but it only gets you so far, we will see if he can go through all his progressions and stand tough in the pocket. He was not even on the NFL Draft radar prior to this season.
NFL Defensive coaches/coordinators are going to confuse the hell out of him with different looks (can you imagine if he is put in the same conference with Bellicheck, Ryan and Mike Nolan?) and he will rely on his legs which will not get him as far they did in college. He will face adversity on the field to levels he has never experienced. Auburn did there best to hide Newton from the media and keep him from putting his foot in his mouth...this was not done on accident.
I have a hard time respecting the opinion of National Pundits who HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME...how can one past judgement?
PFW has progressively gotten worse since JB passed away
Mark Sanchez had the same damn aura around him leading up to the draft as well.
How Deion Sanders isn't a GM right now is beyond me

'Holy Rollers' Sacrifices Intrigue and Precision
For slightly oversweetened morality play
Holy Rollers, the movie about Hasidic ecstasy smugglers that opened last week, is a reasonably good film that could have been a great one. Let's start with my second contention: Holy Rollers could have been great because the true story it's based on—the fact that much of the ecstasy circulating around New York City in the late '90s was supplied by an Israeli mobster who hired ultra-Orthodox young men from Brooklyn as trans-Atlantic drug mules—is cinematic gold. Can you imagine what Tarantino or Scorsese or David Simon could have done with a cast that included not only the aforementioned black-hatters and Israeli drug kingpins but also ravers, feds, and rival drug cartels of varying ethnic origin?
All of these elements do appear in Holy Rollers, but their colors are muted and their interactions are half-hearted. Director Kevin Asch chose to go the gentle-coming-of-age story route, focusing on the journey of Jesse Eisenberg's Sam Gold, a (fictional) 20-year-old straight outta Brooklyn who journeys from restless yeshiva bocher to naïve-but-eager smuggler to minor-league gangsta, until his own soul brings him down (well, and then the cops do). Eisenberg is totally cute in payes, but he basically plays the role as though Sam were any sweet, angsty white kid instead of one from a very specific cultural location.
I'm not objecting to Asch's decision (which he acknowledged in a Q-and-A after a recent screening of the film in New York) to invent his own hybrid ultra-Orthodox sect, although others have. That seems within the realm of poetic license to me. The problem is that the sect he made up is not particularly convincing. Sam and his friends speak a stereotyped New-York-Jewish-ese with a few extra Yiddish words ostentatiously thrown in, not the complex varieties of Yinglish that are actually spoken in Brooklyn's Hasidic enclaves. And interactions in his community, from a meeting with a reproachful rabbi to an awkward parentally-supervised date, similarly feel like they were lifted out of the secular world and airbrushed with Hasid dust.
Things feel a little sharper once Sam enters the underworld: Justin Bartha as Yosef, the neighborhood's bad apple, and Danny Abeckaser as the operation's mastermind do a good job at capturing the film's most interesting insight: That staffing a crime ring with extraordinarily sheltered kids is a brilliant tactic that contains the seeds of its own destruction, because once those kids get good at their jobs, they'll lose the artless innocence that made them such good patsies to begin with.
"Relax, and act Jewish," Yosef tells Sam the first time he prepares to get on a plane with thousands of "medicine" pills under his hat. But when is Sam acting Jewish? When he bumbles past airport security in black hat and black coat, as unaware of just what he is carrying as the federal agents were? Or is it later, when he emerges as a brilliant young businessman who knows exactly what he is doing?

The Liar is the perfect title for the latest romantic suspense novel by Nora Roberts. Richard Foxworth, the man who swept Shelby Pomeroy off her feet and whisked her away from small town Tennessee to the most exclusive suburb of Philadelphia, fathered her child, and bathed her in luxury, was one of the biggest liars of all time. When he is declared missing at sea in the Atlantic Ocean, all of Richard's lies and deceitfulness are revealed and Shelby, and her three-year-old daughter, Callie, are left to pick up the pieces.
The estate of Agatha Christie authorized this new book The Monogram Murders by Sophie Hannah. If you are a fan of Agatha Christie, you will enjoy this new tale featuring the sleuth Hercule Poirot. Poirot is at Pleasant's Coffee House when a woman named Jennie comes in and tells him she is afraid that she will be murdered and that she deserves to die.
I have long been a fan of author Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Her romance stories are written with style and grace, and most times love conquers all when the story comes to a happy ever after ending. She certainly surprised me with her latest book, Heroes are My Weakness. Even though the title hints at a romantic setting, this one has a much darker and serious feel to it. In some ways, the beginning had elements of classic gothic romances like Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.
Last year Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith was published and received great reviews. Then it was revealed the Galbraith was really J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series. Rowling has shown that she can write mysteries as well as fantasy with the Cormoran Strike series under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith. The next book in the series after Cuckoo's Calling is Silkworm and was recently published. This is a traditional hard-boiled procedural mystery. London P.I.
If you like mysteries set in Wisconsin, try Death Stalks Door County by Patricia Skalka, the first in the Dave Cubiak series. Cubiak was a Chicago cop who became a park ranger at Peninsula State Park after his wife and daughter were killed in an accident. He is still grieving, feeling guilty, and drinking too much. This is a not a cozy mystery even though the author does a good job of describing the beauty and ambience of Door County.
Nantucket is known as an island of the privileged class, or so most of us think. It has its share of unique individuals, some with old money, some with new money, and some with no money at all. In Nantucket Sawbuck, author Steven Axelrod reveals scandal and intrigue behind the scenes in one of America's most exclusive resort towns - all because of the murder of an evil tycoon named Preston Lomax.
Lake of Tears is Mary Logue's latest mystery set in Pepin County and featuring the character Claire Watkins. This is a good choice for people who like to read books with a Wisconsin connection, and people who like police procedural mysteries. The story is set in autumn as the local people are doing an annual ritual of constructing a Viking boat and setting it on fire. Claire is a deputy sheriff, and her daughter Meg will be going to college soon.
Here is a mystery with a winter setting to pull you through a winter slump.

Critical Review by David L. Ulin
SOURCE: "Where Memory and Reality Intersect," in Los Angeles Times Book Review, August 6, 1995, pp. 3, 8.
Ulin is a nonfiction writer, poet, and critic. In the following review, he praises Mosley for taking a break from the Easy Rawlins series and finds much to admire in RL's Dream, but deems the novel flawed because of its false premise about blues music.
You've got to give Walter Mosley credit for having guts. Last year, Black Betty, the fourth novel in his Easy Rawlins mystery series, sold more than 100,000 hardcover copies and was acclaimed by no less a fan than President Clinton, who declared Mosley his favorite mystery writer. Later this summer, Denzel Washington will star as Rawlins in a motion picture adaptation of Devil in a Blue Dress.
In the midst of all this Rawlins-mania, the time would seem right for Mosley to build a serious franchise, to crank out another dozen or so titles and establish his character as the quintessential detective hero of our time. Yet although he apparently does plan to write five more volumes about his oddly existential private eye, Mosley has chosen, for the time being, to go in the exact opposite direction—taking a break from Rawlins to publish RL's Dream, a contemporary novel set in New York City about an aging Delta blues musician named Soupspoon Wise.
Mosley's decision is hardly out of character, he has always had a lot on his mind. The Rawlins novels, in fact, are most remarkable for the ways they transform our expectations of the hardboiled mystery, taking familiar territory—the gritty urban landscape of post-World War II Los Angeles—and turning it inside out.
Mosley's L.A. is not that of Raymond Chandler, where tycoons and hoodlums cross paths on gambling boats anchored off the Santa Monica coast. Rather, it is a sprawl of black neighborhoods largely hidden from the history books, a shadow community within the larger city, where a unique, street-smart justice prevails.
The greatest part of Mosley's achievement lies in the way he captures the physical sense of this place, the way his characters' lives extend backward and forward beyond the boundaries of the page and the way the streets of South-Central Los Angeles vibrate with a shifting pattern of loose alliances and unresolved disputes.
With RL's Dream, however, Mosley raises the stakes by stepping outside this individual mythology to take on the legends at the heart of black America itself. The RL of the title is none other than Robert 'RL' Johnson. He's the blues man who, according to tradition, sold his soul to the devil to master the guitar, only to die in August, 1938, at 27, when "Satan come got him in a little place outside Greenwood, Mississippi. Satan or a jealous man."
To tell the truth, Mosley's title seems a bit misleading; Johnson appears here only as a peripheral character, a figure of memory, trapped in the closed circle of the past. But if the guitarist's role is more that of a metaphor than of actual flesh and blood, he is a metaphor of vivid immediacy, for, in the world of this novel at least, he was once Soupspoon Wise's mentor, a traveling companion with whom Wise used to perform, and who, all these years afterward, remains in his protégé's head with the lucency of a dream.
RL's Dream begins on a cold winter day in New York as Soupspoon Wise staggers away from a men's shelter on the Bowery and returns to his apartment on the Lower East Side. It is winter in Soupspoon's life also; he is tired, sick with cancer, and he very shortly finds himself thrown out into the street. While waiting for Social Services to take him away, he is rescued by Kiki, the "skinny redheaded girl from upstairs," who brings him into her home and tries to nurse him back to health.
Kiki is recovering from troubles of her own—a stab wound she received trying to help a woman who was being mugged. Together, this unlikely pair creates an alliance against the world, looking after each other in a way that combines a father-daughter tenderness with the edgy intimacy of lovers, a role that Soupspoon never quite allows them to play.
Like the Rawlins novels, RL's Dream is strongest in its explication of characters, with not only Soupspoon and Kiki, but the various supporting figures, functioning as fully realized human beings. Mosley doesn't write about New York with the authority he brings to Los Angeles; for him, Manhattan is little more than a gray backdrop to the action he describes.
But that's OK, for RL's Dream is less about life in the modern city than about the interplay between past and present, the way memory and reality intersect. Thus, although Soupspoon and Kiki may share living quarters and a certain fundamental bond, both are essentially lost in their own heads, trying to come to terms with personal history in whatever way they can.
For Kiki, the irreconcilable issue is the brutal sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, a legacy that surfaces in violent nightmares and forces her to drink herself to sleep every night. For Soupspoon, it is his relationship with Robert Johnson, ever unresolved.
Even on his deathbed, Soupspoon reflects: "Chilly death pass through me like a rill through the woods, like maybe I'm a wake up and all this I been goin' through is just a dream. The kinda dream that somebody like RL would have. A evil longlastin' dream about all the bad things could happen here."
Where RL's Dream begins to run into trouble is with its narrative inconsistencies. Mosley has had similar problems in his previous work; of the Rawlins novels only the second, A Red Death, possesses what might be called a well-developed structure, and, like those books, RL's Dream has an at-times serendipitous approach to storytelling technique. As the novel progresses, some events seem to take place for no apparent reason, as if Mosley were making it up as he went along.
It's never fully clear, for instance, why, with all her problems, Kiki chooses to take Soupspoon in. More confusing is her decision to risk both job and criminal prosecution by engaging in insurance fraud, falsifying computer records to create a million-dollar policy in Soupspoon's name that ends up costing her employer $186,000 "for radiation treatments, doctor's visits, and medicine."
The Kiki whom Mosley creates is too smart and ornery to get caught up in such a blatant, illogical act, and his Soupspoon is too independent to go along for the ride. Yet Mosley dispenses with their doubts and concerns in a few sporadic scenes, and when the scam is eventually exposed, it feels false, forced—a mechanical device to move things along rather than an organic consequence of plot.
For all this, though, the most troublesome aspect of RL's Dream is the archaic, nearly stereotypical attitude Mosley takes toward the blues, his conception of the form as evil, somehow devilsent. That's a tricky criticism to make, for Mosley clearly reveres the genre; he is often at his best describing the way music flows from Soupspoon's or Robert Johnson's guitar, "music so right that it's more like rain than notes; more like a woman's call than need."
From the novel's epigraph to its final page, Mosley continually refers to the blues man as wicked, recalling his "evil, handsome face," his "[one] dead eye they said … could see past all what we see, into hell—where everyone knows the blues comes from anyways."
The problem with this perspective is that it is not only out of date, but wrongheaded, on the order of claiming that insanity and creativity are inextricably linked. Yes, the blues was once known as "the devil's music," and the legend of Robert Johnson standing at a Mississippi crossroads, exchanging his soul for an unimaginable acuity with the guitar, lives. But the ideas of blues musicians having an intimate relationship with evil, and of the music itself being satanic, are just stereotypes, as misdirected as the suggestion that all African Americans have rhythm.
If anything, these attitudes have contributed to a romanticizing of the blues that belies the intention an artist as sophisticated as Robert Johnson must have brought to his music, defining him as a folk hero whose talents were the product of otherworldly assistance rather than as a man whose songs reflect a unique combination of inspiration and hard work. It's disheartening to see a writer as attuned to black culture and history as Mosley embrace such a point of view.
Ultimately, RL's Dream stumbles because of that, hobbled by its allegiance to a past that never was. It's unfortunate, because I admire Mosley for having the courage to take even a temporary step back from Easy Rawlins, and, surely, there is much in these pages to admire, as well. At the deepest level, though, this is a flawed novel, constructed on a false premise about the blues. As such, it ends up recycling old illusions even as it seeks to forge something new.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled on Tuesday in favor of Jamie McCourt, invalidating a disputed 2004 marital agreement that would have made Frank McCourt the sole owner of the Dodgers.
While the ruling by Judge Scott Gordon is not expected to affect the day-to-day operations of the Dodgers, the legal process could continue for some time, the Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The main question before Gordon in the divorce case between Jamie and Frank McCourt was the validity of a marital agreement signed in March 2004, months after the purchase of the Dodgers was finalized.
"The court finds that the marital property agreement is not a valid and enforceable agreement," Gordon wrote in his ruling. "The court orders that the marital property agreement is set aside." The decision means ownership of the Dodgers could be shared under California's community property law, Mark Fabiani, a spokesman for Jamie McCourt, told The Associated Press.
Marc Seltzer, a lawyer for Frank McCourt, said the ruling did not mean that the McCourts are co-owners of the Dodgers.
"Frank McCourt is the sole owner of the Dodgers," Seltzer said in a statement. "Any media reports to the contrary are just wrong. This ruling does nothing to change the ownership of the Dodgers. Even without the marital property agreements in place, Jamie has no rights to the team.
"Without the agreements in place, it becomes the court's job to determine which property is Frank's and which is Jamie's based on who holds legal title to the team. The facts are crystal clear on this point. The Dodgers are solely in Frank's name."
Frank McCourt's attorneys said during the trial that the agreement was Jamie's idea, with the intention of protecting their homes from creditors if the Dodgers suffered major financial losses.
Jamie's attorneys said the agreement should be thrown out on the grounds that she didn't intend to sign away her rights to ownership of the club and would not have signed the document if she had known the impact.
Further complications involving the agreement arose during the trial preparation. Lawyers learned the couple signed six copies of the agreement, three of which said the Dodgers would be Frank's sole property and three that didn't.
A lawyer's error, it was discovered, resulted in the two different versions. With the different versions indicating different results, it couldn't be legally upheld, Jamie's attorneys argued.
While it was a mistake, Frank's attorneys contended that the intended result was the same: Jamie would hold no financial responsibility for the team.
Frank McCourt could decide to appeal the ruling as he is expected to attempt to use other legal strategies to claim sole ownership of the club, according to the Times. Other possible outcomes include using the latest ruling to return to settlement negotiations, an avenue that proved unsuccessful earlier in the process.
"For Frank, today's decision means more time at the courthouse," Seltzer said. "Nothing changes in terms of the ownership, management, control or the day-to-day business operation of the Dodgers. That's all firmly in Frank McCourt's hands. We are very confident there will be no changes to the ownership of the Dodgers."
The McCourts filed for divorce on Oct. 27, 2009. Their 30th anniversary would have been one week later.

Yep!! I wake up at 3:30 at least four times a week and am wide awake. When I am not pregnant, I never have problems sleeping. These hormones reek havock!!
when i am up during the day, i can't stay awake, i am so sleepy and drained. when i go to sleep at night, i can't stay asleep. no happy medium yet.
I wake up to pee. I wake up to eat. I have the most bizarre dreams EVER. Therefore, I nap during the day.
I usually stumble in to the bathroom 3-4 times a night and when I get back in bed I'm wide awake....when my alarm goes off at 7am I just want to cry

Checked switch using test meter and found voltage going in but no voltage out when switch was turned on. Removed all burner knobs, raised top cover and disconnected two wires from thermostat switch. Removed the thermostat probe from oven interior by pushing it through hole in top. Removed two screws holding switch and pulled out entire assembly. Used a wire coat hanger pushed through hole for probe so I could see where to fish the probe into the oven. Hooked up electrical connections and tested. Everything worked well.Received part from Partselect in one business day. Excellent service and response.

Fashion Design School in Miami, FL with Degree Program Overviews
There are five schools within 35 miles of Miami that have fashion design courses. Read an overview of the programs, requirements and admission info at two schools and find out which school is the right one for you.
Miami Schools Offering Degrees in Fashion Design
Students interested in studying fashion design in Miami have a couple options. This article looks at two schools, one just six minutes from downtown and the other about 35 minutes away. Both offer undergraduate programs in fashion design. Following information about these institutions and their programs is a table of facts about each school, such as size, tuition and the graduation rate. At the end of the article is a listing of other Miami-area schools that offer relevant programs.
- The Art Institute - Miami International University of Art & Design is than two miles from downtown Miami and offers associate and baccalaureate degrees in fashion design.
- Another option is Keiser University - Ft Lauderdale, about 32 miles from Miami in Ft. Lauderdale. The university has an associate degree program in fashion design and merchandising.
Art Institute - Miami International University of Art & Design
Miami International University of Art & Design is one of 45 schools in the Art Institute system, and the Miami location is efficiently situated in central downtown. Both the associate and baccalaureate programs in fashion design train students to be critical thinkers and developed contributors in the fashion industry.
Associate of Arts - Fashion Design
The 90-credit Associate of Arts in Fashion Design program provides students with the skills needed to enter the fashion industry as entry-level designers, product designers, illustrators, textile designers, technical designers or stylists. Students take 66 credits in core classes and 24 credits of general education. Classes include patternmaking and draping, fashion illustration, fabrics and textiles, history of fashion, computerized patternmaking and fashion trends.
Bachelor of Fine Arts - Fashion Design
The 180-credit Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design program gives students broad-based knowledge and training in the fashion design industry. This program builds on the basic classes taken within the associate program and provides students with more extensive training in tailoring, couture techniques, grading and computerized technologies. Students must complete 112 credits in core classes and 68 general education credits. A three-credit internship and an advanced portfolio class are requirements for graduation. Coursework includes advanced construction, knitwear design, tailoring techniques, computerized textile design, haute couture techniques and menswear design. Another requirement of the program is for students to show their own designs by putting together a collection that is focused on a particular area of design.
Keiser University - Ft. Lauderdale
Keiser University's Ft. Lauderdale branch was established in 1977 and is the main campus in the university's system. A private, career university, Keiser offers an associate degree program in fashion design and merchandising that places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning. The program incorporates both the design and merchandising or retail side of fashion.
Associate of Science in Fashion Design and Merchandising
The 84-credit Associate of Science in Fashion Design and Merchandising gives students a basic understanding of fashion, business, techniques, retail and design within the industry. The program is comprised of 60 credits of core classes and 24 general education credits. Coursework includes apparel construction, fabric study, fashion history, illustration, product development, sewing techniques, computer-assisted design and promotion. Students must present their final portfolio as a last requirement before graduation. Upon completion of the program, graduates will have the skills needed to gain entry-level employment in either the design or retail side of the industry.

% ch2sp4 (Example 2.10) MATLAB's Symbolic Math Toolbox may be used to simplify
% the solution of simultaneous equations by using Cramer's rule. A system of simultaneous
% equations can be represented in matrix form by Ax = B, where A is the matrix formed
% from the coefficients of the unknowns in the simultaneous equations, x is a vector
% containing the unknowns, and B is a vector containing the inputs. Cramer's rule states
% that xk, the kth element of the solution vector, x, is found using xk = det(Ak)/det(A),
% where Ak is the matrix formed by replacing the kth column of matrix A with the input
% vector, B. In the text we refer to det(A) as "delta". In MATLAB matrices are written with a
% space or comma separating the elements of each row. The next row is indicated with a
% semicolon or carriage return. The entire matrix is then enclosed in a pair of square
% brackets. Applying the above to the solution of Example 2.10:
% A=[(R1+L*s) -L*s;-L*s (L*s+R2+(1/(c*s)))] and Ak=[(R1+L*s) V;-L*s 0]. The function
% det(matrix) evaluates the determinant of the square matrix argument. Let us now find
% the transfer function G(s) = I2(s)/V(s), asked for in Example 2.10. The command
% simple(S), where S is a symbolic function, is introduced in the solution. Simple(S)
% simplifies the solution by shortening the length of S. The use of simple(I2) shortens
% the solution by combining like powers of the Laplace variable, s.

All the four accused in the Bhaskara Karanavar murder case were convicted of the charges, including murder and conspiracy, by Mavelikara Additional Sessions (Fast Track) Court judge N. Anil Kumar on Wednesday. The sentence will be pronounced on Friday.
Karanavar's daughter-in-law and first accused in the case, Sherin, 27, was convicted of charges under Indian Penal Code Sections 302 (murder); 114 (abettor present when offence is committed); 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy); 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence); and 394 (voluntarily causing hurt while committing robbery).
The other three accused, second accused Basith Ali, 25, alias Bibish Babu of Kurichi, Kottayam; third accused Nidhin, 28, alias Unni of Kalamassery; and fourth accused Shanu Rashid, 24, of Kochi; were charged with IPC Section 449 (trespassing into house to commit offence punishable with death) apart from the sections under which Sherin was charged.
The judgment, which spanned 277 pages, was based on 87 circumstantial evidences and statements of over 50 witnesses.
Bhaskara Karnavar, a U.S. returnee, was found murdered in his house at Cheriyanadu in Chenganoor on the morning of November 8, 2009. Sherin, wife of Karanavar's second son Binu, was arrested within two days while the other three, who were allegedly friends of Sherin and who were contracted to kill Karanavar after he cancelled a property will in Sherin's name, were nabbed from Karnataka in the first week of December.
The trial began in mid-March with Special Public Prosecutor K.M. Rajagopala Pillai appearing for the prosecution, while Sherin was represented by Suresh Babu Thomas and Suresh Mathai.
Sherin, who was given bail by the High Court, had the bail cancelled on Wednesday on account of her conviction and was shifted to the Alappuzha Women's Jail. The other three, who were in remand at the Mavelikara sub-jail, will continue there as of now.
Earlier, the court allowed the accused to comment on the judgment, following which Sherin pleaded that her husband was ill and that she, an orphan, had a four-year-old child to look after. The other three prayed that the fact that they were the sole breadwinners of their families be considered while pronouncing the sentence.

The City Of Lost Children is as great a film as you thought "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was when you were five years old.
This remarkable movie is really one-of-a-kind. [15 Dec 1995]
The City of Lost Children is a stunningly surreal fantasy, a fable of longing and danger, of heroic deeds and bravery, set in a brilliantly realized world of its own. It is one of the most audacious, original films of the year. [22 Dec 1995]
As a fable, The City of Lost Children may not have a resonantly significant moral, but as a film, it is without a doubt the most incredible thing that the cinema has brought us this year. [22 Dec 1995]
For those who enjoy the offbeat, The City of Lost Children is worth taking the time and effort to find.
With its fine performances, gorgeous sets, incredible special effects, imaginative story line, beautiful score (by frequent David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti), and knockout cinematography, The City of Lost Children is very much worth seeing.
I am not one of you. But I have enough of you in me to pass along the word. Far out.
Children, and adults with adventurous taste in movies, will find this among the most eye-popping big-screen experiences in ages.
The movie is best appreciated as a collection of whimsical toys drawn from a fantasy grab bag that encompasses everything from Grimm's fairy tales to "Star Wars."
A vibrant, bubbling cauldron of breathtaking f/x, gross-out humor and in-your-face imagery.
At its best, the movie is coldly clever with a few brilliant warmer moments - as when someone drops an Alka Seltzer into the tank to soothe the Brain. [14 Dec 1995]
City of Lost Children is so extravagantly cluttered, so packed to the portholes, it's hard to sort out, or even see, what's there. Under the overload, however, it has some perfectly lovely elements. [19 Dec 1995]
Sadly, the technical logistics seem to have impeded the dreamlike flow a movie like this requires.
This delirious film is overflowing with energy and effects, but it lacks the heart and soul that would have made it important as well as impressive.

The amazing futurist (Steampunk?) world the story is set in is a delight to behold, if not weird and dark all at the same time and demands your full attention fear you loose your way with the plot!
I love the characters in this film, they are almost straight out of Wonderland, a dark and twisted Wonderland at that. The story is a little odd, but compelling due to the strong acting and locations. Sometimes you do feel like you in some sort of twisted computer game rather than watching a film though!
Without doubt this is a fantastic film, set in a dark wonderland of oddball characters and story lines that will keep your eyes glued from start to finish.… Full Review »

I absolutely love this movie. My favorite movie of all time. No kidding. The atmosphere, the actors, the story, just wow. I love movies set in different worlds that don't really classify as sci-fi or fantasy. This is one such treat. Directed and written by the same director/writer of Delicatessen and it definitely shows. If you enjoy this I'd also recommend Big Fish, Mirrormask, and Dark City. Actually scratch that, even if you don't like City of Lost Children you should watch those movies. The only drawback I could see to this movie for audiences is that it is subtitled. However that should most certainly not deter anyone from seeing it. Read a little and get enveloped in this fantastic world.… Full Review »

Combining the two samples that are less likely to be biased (DeusEmperor and Rooster), the data are looking more and more consistent with a uniform distribution.
For the 506 consoles in that set, the chi^2 is 53.6 for 41 degrees of freedom. The chance of seeing a sample of 506 consoles with equal or greater non-uniformity, if the console distribution is truly uniform, is about 9%.
While 9% still sounds pretty small, statistically that is not a very significant departure from expectation.
The combined sample including AdmGreer remains extremely inconsistent with uniformity, of course.
