text: When the concrete and barbed-wire barrier separating Israel from the Palestinian West Bank started going up a decade ago, it was built mostly on land on the Arab side of the 1948 ceasefire line (the "Green Line") that defined the modern state of Israel. As such, the construction of what was intended to be a means of security for Israel has angered Palestinians. It frequently has split up Arab families, kept farmers from their fields, students from their schools, and separated friends and lovers.

Morris is better than Millwood?
With Sean in Pittsburgh, I wonder what the chances are of Gravy getting his last shot there?
I think Terry Mulholand fits the bill :dancingco
Eldred announced his retirement
My vote would be for either Gary Glover or Jamey Wright regarding DOB's hinting. Glover because he looked really good against the Reds last season, and Wright because he's just the kind of tease a smaller market team likes to gamble on. I'd take a flyer in Wright if he's interested, but this is the same guy who shot himself in the behind a few years ago when St. Louis offered him a virtually guaranteed rotation slot that he refused because he insisted on a 40 man roster spot.
If it is trade talks and not FA's, could it possibly be Smoltz???? Just a thought.

In regard to Estes, with 3 lefties already projected into the rotation, why would the Reds want another lefty as a swing man? Of course if it was to set up a deal which would send Milton packing, bring him on.
I think it might be Julian Tavarez. He was released by the Cardinals. I thought he started a few games for the Giants before he went to St. Louis.
I am not sure what we really need in the pen beside a true closer and maybe a true long mop up relief guy.

Tavarez is a FA, he was not released.Originally Posted by alexad
I have heard reports that Tavarez will command a 3-4 year deal at about 4M per year.
It wont be him, and even if it was he would not be a swing guy, he would probably be our closer.

There's no way it'll be a lefty, we already have enough in the rotation. If I had to bet here's my top 3:
1)Tony Armas
2)BH Kim
3)Joe Mays
They all can be had for cheap, and none are really 5th starter material, injuries have plaged all in the past. If I was a betting man, my money's on Kim. I see him being that swing guy in the rotation as well as closing 10-15 games for us.
Smoltz doesn't really fit the description. If we trade for him (which I don't see happening) he would have a defined role in the rotation.Originally Posted by dman
Also, a trade fr Smoltz doesn't really make a lot of sense for us right now anyways. We are far from contending and getting Smoltz would be a move to put us over the top. It would deal away our future and not really move the franchise forwards.
I don't know why Atlanta would trade their ace anyways. He's a great pitcher on a team that always contends. I don't see any scenario in which Smoltz is traded.
The Reds passed on a chance for Armas a few years ago. He does not have a sound arm. Kim is a mystery, but maybe a different team beside the Rockies would be good for him. He can save games and he would not be under much pressure for the Reds like he has in the past.

I am 42 years old and two years ago decided to go back to school. I have a previous degree (AAS) in Criminal Justice. I used this degree to work at a Jail for 10 years but realized that I was getting older and I need a better paying job. I am a divorced mom of three and need some kind of retirement plan. I transferred all classes to a 4 year college (JSU) in Alabama and was accepted into the teaching program last semester. I have three more semester's to go before I finish my BS in Secondary Education. I have just gotten an email from financial aid saying I am on Financial Aid Suspension due to maxed out hours. I am not sure what this means. Why was I accepted into this program and close to finishing before anyone noticed I was going to run out of hours? Why does this affect me getting a student loan (I have only used student loans for the last two semester's)? They said I can appeal- But if it is based on hours than how do I appeal this? If I transfer to a bigger college like UAB- will I get my financial aid back? What if I attend in a different state like Georgia? Please help me if you have any advice?
Is there an advisor at your school that you can call who would be able to explain things? I would give them a call first thing tomorrow if I were you and see what's going on.

Burgers Zoo - general info , history
Johan Burgers had an pheasant collection in the beginning of last century...in 1923 his collection became to big for 's-heerenberg and he decided to move to Arnhem.
Burgers zoo has always been a progressive zoo. It had the first big cats enclosure in the Netherlands without bar.
In 1968 the first safaripark in the European mainland was opened, in 1971 the chimpanzee island...
In the eighties a new way of displaying animals became popular. A few animals together from the same area in a larger enclosure.
1988 the Bush and in 1994 Burgers desert opened. Recently there was also an ocean added...
But please keep on reading if we are going to take a closer look at the exhibits...
- Aquarium
- Zoo
- Theme Park Trips
Burgers' Zoo
Great zoo with probably the biggest and most impressive aquarium in the zooworld. They don't call it Burgers' Ocean for nothing. Also very nice is Burgers' bush, a tropical forest hall in Holland. You have to look carefully to discover all the animals and birds that live there. Burgers' is certainly not a traditional zoo.
But, of course, for monkeys, lemurs and apes, you really have to go to Apenheul in Apeldoorn. Only 25 Km north of Arnhem.
Burgers Zoo
Feeling like you want to see some animals? Arnhem probably has the country's best ZOO. Not only because of the lack of caged animals (apart from some exceptions, most live in a nice area) but also because of the large indoor area's which make this ZOO a good choice during winter or rainy days.
The park exists of several area's. There's the classic outdoor area with animals on display.
There's a safari part where you can walk around and see some wild animals on a large open space. And what makes the park most interesting are the indoor area's (see also my other tips on these).
There are 4 ecosystems in the park. All covered and pretty hot (perfect for rainy days or cold winters). There's a jungle where most birds fly around freely. A Mangrove forest, also here animals walk around freely, there's a desert with a cave system and there's a stunning aquarium.
Entrance is approximately ?16,- for adults, providing entrance to all areas in the park.
As the Zoo is close to Germany, 99% of the Zoo is bilingual, making it very easy for German-speakers to visit.

Burgers ZOO
It's a very nice place to spend a day. On one and the same day you can "visit" Africa, Safari, Desert and Ocean.
The animals here are kept like in the real nature.
I liked a set of cafes located in beautiful places of the Zoo.
Sitting in a cafe is a great way to enjoy a beautiful view and wild animals.

A tropical rain forest in the Netherlands? And a desert!! Yes! Moreover, a safari park, a mangrove forest and the ocean. Where? In Burger's Zoo in Arnhem. If you are in Arnhem, a visit to the Burger's Zoo is a must. Johan Burgers founded the zoo in 1913 in 's Heerenberg. In 1923, the zoo moves to Arnhem in order to obtain larger grounds. In 1968 Burger's opens the Safari Park, followed by the world- famous chimpanzee habitat in 1971, the Bush in 1988, the Mangrove Wood in 1992 and the Desert in 1994. In Burgers' Bush you meet plants and animals that can exist only in a tropical rain forest ecosystem. The conditions of this ecosystem are replicated in Burger's Bush quite successfully, with the temperature to remain between 22o and 30o C day and night. In the desert you will come across a North American rocky landscape with cacti, yuccas, mammals, birds and reptiles. Giraffes, rhinos, lions, cheetahs and other wild animals can be observed from a 200-metre long covered footbridge in the safari park, while "diving" in Burger's Ocean someone can see several species such as corals, sponges, schools of fish, sharks and many more! Watching –or being watched from- the gorilla family and the colony of chimpanzees is fascinating. Hundreds of birds and other animals are waiting everyday for the numerous visitors.
Opening times
Daily all year round
9 to 7 pm April – October
November – March 9 to sunset
Entrance fees 15 euro

Burger's Zoo takes up...
Burger's Zoo takes up approximately 18 hectares of the total park and houses more than 3,000 animals. With regard to keeping animals, Burgers' has developed its own philosophy. Keywords are 'behaviour, 'space' and 'natural'. The inhabitants of the park include all three species of anthropoid apes, smaller monkeys, bongos, elephants, stokstaartjes, sealions, pinguïns, meerkats, animals of prey, cows, nocturnal animals and many species of birds.
Burgers Zoo part I

Burgers Zoo has arreas with themes. These themes are:
Enter the colourfull world of the rainforest. You will experience the humid heat, dense vegetation, smells and sounds. While walking through the bush, you will find animals walking around. Like birds, lizzards and fruit bats.
The desert looks like one from the Sonora & Mojave desert in Arizona (USA) and the north of Mexico. Depending on the season it can be really hot or freezing cold. You will find these plants/trees: cactus, agave, yucca and short leaved trees & bushes. In this rocky landscape there are living colourfull sining-birds & turkey vultures, peccary, bighorn and bobcats.
The tropical coral reef. You will find hundreds of colourfull fish, a giant coral reef with corals and sponges.
In the tropics exist special tidal forests. These salt water tidal forests are called mangroves. The trees have there roots in these waters. When you walk through the Mangrove you will find Darters, mangrove heron, river turtles and sail lizards.
The east African savannah. At the Zoo you will see cheetahs and a lyon family. You can watch them from a wooden observation hut. You will also see giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, kudus and gnus/wildebeest.
The Malaysian rainforest. At the rainforest you will find aninmal species that are living up here: Malaysian bears, siamangs, laponders, deers, bantengs and impressive Asian cattles. You will also find pythons and dragons.
You can enter the Zoo every day of the year. Including public holidays.
The fares for the Zoo are (till 31 March 2011):
0 till 3 years free

Berger's Zoo
Berger's Zoo was just as interesting for the four adults attending as the one four-year old. There were 7 (I think) different "areas" to walk, learn, explore and play. I used the word, area for lack of a better term. For example, the ocean starts with a path above the coral and small marine life. You begin to wade deeper, ocean getting deeper around you as you descend down the meandering path, until the ocean habitat surrounds you completely. It's nothing like I have experienced and I grew up attending the San Diego Zoo. (A fabulous zoo.) and the Seattle Aquarium. I didn't feel like we were looking at massive fishtanks, I felt like I was just witnessing oceanic life. Apply that creativity and innovative approach to the other exhibits and you have the Berger's Zoo.
We spend 5 hours there and could have spent more if our wee-one wasn't getting burnt at both ends. We were here in the winter, I hear the summer can get quite crowded.
Be sure to save some time and energy for the Adventure Land. It's not just for the kiddies.
A place worth the time and money.

You should visit Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, it is the best zoo in The Netherlands and very educational. It is very well kept, clean and the animanls are well taking care of.
You can get to Burgers Zoo easily from the Central train/bus station in Arnhem. Take bus line 1 or 3 that says Burgers Zoo. It's a 15 minute bus drive from the station to the zoo.

Sellafield jobs boost
Last updated at 11:31, Wednesday, 27 February 2013
UP to 500 new jobs are on the way at Sellafield.
The jobs are largely shopfloor posts to support the urgent decommissioning work on higher hazard areas of the site.
Energy minister John Hayes made the official announcement, saying all the jobs were new, permanent and largely meant for local people.
Ranging from process to skilled workers, they cover general operations, craft, maintenance, safety and technical specialists, health physics, systems engineers, engineers and maintenance support through to "functions" personnel.
Around 100 will be for new apprentices and technical trainees.
Copeland Borough Council leader Elaine Woodburn describes it as "a win-win" for the area.
She said: "The jobs will provide a major boost for Copeland and will help ensure the plant is dealing with the biggest hazards.
"It's pleasing that the jobs include apprentice positions, which will help address youth unemployment concerns."
Copeland MP Jamie Reed said: "It's a tremendous boost. The vast majority of people in our area will be delighted as I am.
"Nuclear is not the only game in town but well-paid employment in any industry is a positive step and will help attract investment in other areas."
Some of the 500 posts will be specifically to support the decommissioning of Calder Hall. It is hoped most of the jobs will be filled by the spring, although it will be an ongoing 12-month process.
Sellafield Ltd will now be able to bring forward more of the NDA's crucial work in reducing high hazards on the site.
Funding to create the jobs has been made possibly through £700m-worth of efficiencies in a programme led by Nuclear Management Partners, the site's parent body organisation.
There will be some specialist roles, but others where training will be given. The jobs will be advertised locally with the emphasis on local recruitment.
Of the 500 new Sellafield jobs, the lowest paid for those currently being advertised are for facility (process) operators (£25-£26,461) and the highest goes up to £55,000 in engineering/maintenance.
Team leaders (operations and maintenance) can get up to £38,000, with electrical/mechanical craft jobs commanding £27,000-£31,521.
Graduates on the Sellafield Ltd scheme will be paid £28,420 with students on summer and engineering industrial placements receiving £13,940 pro rata for the number of weeks worked.
There are no guarantees that all the jobs will go to local people but community leaders say they will keep a close watch to make sure it is "jobs for locals" as far as possible.
Cllr Woodburn and Mr Reed say they expect Sellafield to stick to its aim that "the vast majority of jobs are likely to be filled locally."
The MP stressed: "I want to see as many people recruited locally as feasible. At the same time it wouldn't be correct to employ people without the necessary skills and experience required.
"Legally no one can say that it must be a locals-only recruitment but let's be absolutely clear, we want local skills, built-in experience used first and foremost."
NDA chief executive John Clarke says the jobs "will make a significant contribution to accelerating clean up of the high hazard areas of Sellafield."
Sellafield Ltd executive director Tom Foster told a press conference: "We also know from the previous track record of hiring that there are skills and personnel available in the local area.
"Based on early applications we know there are personnel available in the local area and who will be able to be hired for these jobs."
In a statement, Sellafield Ltd's managing director Todd Wright said: "The workforce at Sellafield is the best I've worked with in my career, which takes in many nuclear sites around the world, and these new additions will include some of our nuclear leaders of tomorrow."
Energy minister Mr Hayes pointed out: "500 new jobs at Sellafield shows the immense contribution of the nuclear sector to the UK economy, in particular that of West Cumbria."
Baroness Verma, Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Energy, added: "I welcome Sellafield's moves to create these new jobs which won't just accelerate clean-up but will be a huge boost to the economy of West Cumbria."
Prospect is Sellafield's biggest staff union, and site representative Peter Clements said: "The new people will be coming in to do vital work and we look forward to welcoming them. Hopefully it will be the start and a sign of things to come.
"I also hope the skills are out there locally and anyone who has what's required will have no problem in applying for, and getting, the jobs.
"If a minimum amount of training has to be given we will be pushing for that, it's something we will be talking to the company about."
Craig Dobson, Unite union craft convenor at Sellafield, said: "It's very good news for the local economy and hopefully great news for West Cumbria's employment prospects.
"However, Unite, are in discussions with the company on both the use of local labour and craft manning levels that are employed by Sellafield Ltd.
"We'll continue to work with the management throughout this process."

Parisian blogger Anne-Laure is the editor of Adenorah, a blog celebrating fashion and style in Paris and around the world. To celebrate the launch of our pop-up space in Galeries Lafayette Paris, Anne-Laure styled the Mulberry Bayswater on the streets surrounding the iconic French department store.
The Bayswater in Emerald Green, a new jewel-toned leather colour for the season, is part of the selected Autumn Winter 2013 collection pieces available in Galeries Lafayette,. Another Emerald bag, the Lily in Ostrich, is exclusive to the pop-up and the only one its kind in the city.
Anne-Laure said of her shoot: "I think that Mulberry style is an incarnation of chic and preppy. The leather used is really beautiful…and I think that all the bags are really well thought through, both practical and desirable.
"I really love the Bayswater because it has an air of a vintage schoolbag with its minimalist form. Then the Emerald colour gives it a very modern, original touch."
Discover Mulberry at Galeries Lafayette Hausmann in Paris until 2 November.

Quote: " Megan had already pulled my boxers down and had already got her mouth over my hard stiff cock"
The Story...
the front door when i saw my girlfriend sitting on the sofa watching tv. "had a good day babes she said". I walked over to the sofa and kissed her gently and explained the day i had, she sat there and listened to every detail i was just finishing when i heard the bathroom door open. I turned to my girlfriend and asked who else was here, she replied "oh its just Megan, she just broken up with her boyfriend and needed a shoulder to cry on so i said she could come round here." Now if there was one friend of my girlfriends that i loved to spend time with it was Megan. She was blonde blue eyes and really slim typical girl next door, i remember when my girlfriend introduced me to her i almost fell backward with shock she was gorgeous. anyway seeing her come down stairs was a pleasure to the eyes still looking as good as she did first time i had met her. "hi tom you don't mind me being here do you" i'm sure i had seen a wink in her eye.
I moved over and allowed her to sit on the sofa next to me with my girlfriend on one side and megan on the other side. "tom had a bad day at work how can we help him Megan". I looked at my girlfriend with a confused look, i had no idea what was going to happen next. Megan got off the sofa a went behind me, pulling my shoulder back she began to rub my shoulders "wow you are tensed tom" i said nothing a just laid back and let her hands do her magic, next thing i know my girlfriend was leaning over a kissing me feeling her warm tongue in my mouth and Megans hands on my my shoulders still rubbing i felt like i was in heaven, what happened next was only something that i thought would had happened in a dream, Megan had left my back and now was bending down between my legs. i felt her hands unzipping my trousers, i could feel my cock beginning to rise in my boxers. my girlfriend kissing me just added to the excitement , Megan had already pulled my boxers down and had already got her mouth over my hard stiff cock. My girlfriend looked down "what you think your doing hes my boyfriend i should get first suck" I couldn't beleive my ears my girlfriend was actually ok with her best friend sucking my cock. next thing i know my girlfriend is bending down next to Megan and their taking turns to suck my cock, just feeling both their mouth around my cock i thought i was going to cum their and then.Read more stories from our Sex Story Series category

Do not at all costs stay in room 328. The noise from the air con units/engines was horrendous. It totally ruined my stay and I wish I had have asked for a different room. It was so hot, even with the windows open, which was not possible after a while as your whole head would start vibrating. I challenge the owner of the hotel and the owner of best western to stay in this room as I am sure they will soon review the situation.
I also had the displeasure of ordering room service. The guy that delivered my food dropped the bread on the floor so that was uneatable, moaned about the lack of fizz in the lemonade and that was before I had tried eating it. It tasted like a horrible microwave meal and was un cooked. The cheese board had some mouldy brie on it too which was disgusting for the price.
As someone who has stayed in a number of best western hotels, and enjoyed everyone of them, I will never, ever, be staying in this hotel, and will be requesting my money back.
Overall, a disappointing stay, to say the very least. It is such a shame as the hotel staff are lovey and the reception area and room are nice and clean with a good bathroom. If you do stay at this hotel, please request a quiet room, well away from the air con units, bring some more fans, and eat away from the hotel. less

We booked in here late after a bad experience with another hotel. So glad we did. Outside looks great and inside is very plush,clean and modern. Receptionist was excellent and room was perfect. Lovely size and with everything. Shame no A/C as there was a reception below and it did get noisy late on with window open. Breakfast was busy but plentiful and tasty. Very attentive staff throughout. Definitely one to visit. Only snag,car is small for the size of the hotel and the spaces are very tight. less

Booked for a hen party spa weekend it was brilliant we arrive at 9.am we knew rooms would not be ready(we're told on booking ) but the reception had 2rooms ready for us and told us they would let spa staff when other rooms were ready which they did. spa staff were A* plus more they couldn't do enough for us it was a home from home experience ....... Rooms were good but very warm as no air con but had a fan in cupboard marco Pierre White restaurant ..we had pre ordered food earlier so we thought it would be a breeze no the waiter was not rude but had an attitude especially when one meal came out it was supposed to be grilled tuna but it was really raw waiter was asked if it was cooked and his reply well it's how I would eat it there was no I will check for you .. The cocked up one order and the waitress ignored us when we said excuse me upon being asked again the reply was in a very rude manner I heard u the first time apart from that all was good breakfast was very good all in all it was a fantastic weekend apart the the food incident less

We were part of a big party who stayed for 3 nights. The hotel appears to have been freshly decorated, the staff were friendly and the hotel had a 'warm' friendly atmosphere. The rooms were nicely appointed and I would think that each room is different given the character of the hotel. Please be warned that the only form of air conditioning in the rooms are windows and a fan (stored in the wardrobe). I had the windows open all day and night for my entire duration of stay, plenty of fresh air but the room was still very much on the warm side. I would recommend this hotel, perhaps more as a non-summer visit though!!
Parking is good but watch out for the trees along the back of the hotel car park, you will find that your car will be covered in sticky sap in the morning. The following nights I parked more central and the car was fine.
Marco's the restaurant is trying to be something it isn't I'm afraid. It has only recently been opened so it may be down to teething problems, but service is very very slow (took an hour for our first course to arrive) and even then the meatballs we ordered were raw!! They were excellent at sorting it out and gave us the meal free along with a drink. The restaurant isn't cheap and I would highly recommend the Indian restaurant in Kegworth, food is served loads quicker and it is much better value. less

Conclusions/Significance: This extensive survey has increased the known alien vascular flora of Galapagos by 257 species, giving a ratio of alien to native taxa of 1.57:1. It provides a crucial baseline for plant invasion management in the archipelago and contributes data for meta analyses of invasion processes worldwide.

Bebe Miller's A History

Bebe Miller is a four-time Bessie Award–winning creator of adroit postmodern improvisation. Her latest work, A History, premiered at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, OH, last fall (Miller is also a dance professor at Ohio State University) and will run at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts this month. For the piece, Miller turns her physically and emotionally intelligent lens on how time has touched the relationships within her dance company, founded almost three decades ago.
The duet stars long-time Bebe Miller Company dancers Angie Hauser and Darrell Jones. Extended solos of tightly scored improvisation in the beginning of the piece establish the dancers as individuals. The pair's movements then meld together, apart, and together again, a physical parallel to the relationship between dancer and dancer.
Complementing the dancing is a video installation. Also, the dancers sometimes wear headphones and say words aloud; the dialogue they're repeating are recorded conversations from past dancemaking sessions among Miller, Hauser, Jones, and the company's dramaturg Talvin Wilks.
"I hope the audience sees they're not just dancing together. They're going totally into who they are as people and what's that exchange," says Miller. "The larger audience will recognize them as humans trying to get something done."
From San Francisco A History will take its story to stages in Canton, NY; Urbana, IL; Minneapolis/St. Paul; Los Angeles; New York City; Blacksburg, VA; and Lewiston, ME.

This is the only extant play by the great Irish novelist and is of interest both for its autobiographical content and for formal reasons. In the characters and their circumstances details of Joyce's life are evident. The main character, Richard Rowan, the moody, tormented writer who is at odds with both his wife and the parochial Irish society around him, is clearly a portrait of Joyce himself. The character of Rowan's wife, Bertha, is certainly influenced by Joyce's lover and later wife, Nora Barnacle, with whom he left Ireland and lived a seminomadic existence in Zurich, Rome, Trieste, and Paris. As in real life, the play depicts the couple with a young son and, like Joyce, Rowan has returned to Ireland because of his mother's illness and subsequent death.Though lesser-known, Exiles, written after Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and while Joyce was working on Ulysses, provides interesting insights into the development of the creative gifts of a literary genius.

Effing Thieves !!!
I just want to vent a little...
So yesterday morning somewhere between 7 and 10 am some little bastard walked away with my tankbag. they actually took the time to unzip it from the magnetic base and stole it. :cry
Luckily (?) it only had breakdown stuff like tools, tubes, compressor, first aid kit etc in it and the bag itself was a little worn, but dammit now I gotta replace it and its not like that stuff would be of any use unless that person rides, which if it was a fellow rider-
"May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits" !!
Anyway word of warning fellow riders: The bastards are out there, don't leave anything on your bike!
this is the reason I'm working on additional hard luggage capacity for my bike. not that anything been stolen yet, but having owned convertibles and bikes for almost my entire adult life it's a fact that if you leave something in less than a hard container fixed in some fashion to something that weighs more than a person can carry more than a foot solo don't "count on it" being there 24/7. all it takes is a stop somewhere and a glance in another direction...
and don't get me started on pickpockets and other slight of hand artists...
I got an extra marsee tank bag you can have if you want.
It is kinda big about 15" from front to back, kind of a flat bottom. Let me know if it will work for you.
There is a reason they put that zipper on there... And it isn't for the thieves.
I had a laptop taken out of a backpack strapped to my bike this Summer. Thieving Bastards SUCK!!!
"The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana"
Wow that sucks, too bad you didn't have a live rattlesnake in there.
Wow, I can't even GIVE that tank bag away to a noob!
Bad deal. I havent had a bag stolen yet but, I took a proactive approach. I bought 1/8" steel cable and crimps at the hardware store. Ran the cable through a nylon loop at the back of the bag and crimped it back on itself. made a loop in the other end and ran it under the seat to a seat post that the front seat snaps down on.
May not keep it from getting stolen but, thieves are gonna have to work at it. I also don't keep anything of much value in it.
Don't suppose that thieves might have a knife available do you? How much work would it be to cut that nylon strap ?
I just don't let the bike out of my sight if I can't take the stuff with me.
It's really limiting but I'm paranoid for a reason. I'll eat fast food and sit close to the door with a view of the bike etc.

Given some of the matchups on tap for Week 11 and the myriad injuries affecting the quarterback position, fantasy owners took long, hard looks at Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Tannehill for the kickoff to Week 11 in Buffalo. Their time would have been better spent writing letters to Santa Claus. Sure, Tannehill threw a touchdown pass to Davone Bess, and I guess that the deep ball intercepted by Jairus Byrd (a fantastic catch) looked pretty as it sailed through the Buffalo night. Tannehill passed for 144 yards overall (14-for-28) with two interceptions and three sacks against a Buffalo defense that had struggled to get off the field all year. Conversely, fantasy owners were optimistic that Fitzpatrick would post a huge day against the Dolphins. The Dolphins had allowed nearly 300 passing yards per game entering Thursday's tilt. Alas, Fitzpatrick finished the game with 168 passing yards (17-of-27) with 15 rushing yards and three sacks. He was shut out for the second time in three weeks....

Northern Ireland Chief to Take Leave Over Scandal
The head of Northern Ireland's administration temporarily stepped down in a bid to defuse the scandal involving his wife that has gripped the province and rocked its fragile power-sharing government.
Peter Robinson, the 61-year-old head of the Democratic Unionist Party, said he needed to "devote time to deal with family matters" and clear his name. Northern Ireland's current Enterprise secretary, Arlene Foster, will assume his responsibilities as first minister for the next six weeks.
There had been speculation that the DUP, the main Protestant party in Northern Ireland, would jettison him, but at a meeting on Monday, the party threw its support behind its leader.
It is unclear how the storm will affect the shaky alliance between the DUP and the Catholic Sinn Fein. Their coalition was already strained before the crisis, dogged by a delay in transferring powers over policing and justice from London to Belfast. Sinn Fein sees the issue as crucial to the 12-year-old political process that was designed to end decades of sectarian violence.
Gerry Kelly, a Sinn Fein member of the province's parliament, said, "It is crucially important that the outstanding political issues are resolved and resolved speedily," he said. "The political commitments made by the DUP must be honored." That meant, he said, setting an early date for the transfer of powers on policing and justice.
Parties in the coalition government met Monday to try to break the deadlock on the policing issue. Commentators say the deputy first minister, Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, could resign if no progress is made. That would trigger new elections in the province.
The crisis blew up after the BBC reported that Mr. Robinson's wife, Iris, 60, who was expelled from the DUP over the weekend, had helped procure a £50,000 ($80,000) loan for a café owned by her then-lover, Kirk McCambley, now 21. Mrs. Robinson, who last month said she won't seek re-election to the U.K. Parliament, failed to declare the loan in Parliament's register of members' interests.
The BBC investigation claimed the first minister had acted improperly by failing to report the loan to the authorities when he learned of it in December 2008.
On Monday, Mr. Robinson called the allegation "unfounded and mischievous," and said he had acted "ethically and properly." He has initiated an independent inquiry into the claims against him.
Ms. Foster said the departmental solicitors' office, which provides legal services to government departments in Northern Ireland, had advised Mr. Robinson he wasn't in breach of ministerial codes of conduct. She said she was also sure that government lawyers appointed to probe Mr. Robinson's conduct would find no evidence of wrongdoing.
Analysts said Ms. Foster is a competent politician, but not the biggest hitter in the DUP.
