Waukesha man charged with huffing chemicals, kicking officer
Man, 25, could face up to 7 1/2 years in prison
A 25-year-old Waukesha man was charged last week with allegedly kicking a police officer in the groin after being woken up from a drug-induced sleep.
Brooke Ingersoll, 2322 Northview Road, was charged on Wednesday, Nov. 6 in Waukesha County Circuit Court with battery to a law enforcement officer, possession with intent to abuse a hazardous substance and resisting an officer.
Ingersoll could face up to 7 1/2 years in prison and $30,000 in fines if convicted.
According to the criminal complaint, a patrol officer with the Waukesha City Police found Ingersoll passed out in his car at 315 E. North St. at about 2 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 4.
The officer tried to awaken the man, who was laying beside several aerosol spray cans, according to the complaint. Ingersoll allegedly popped up awake after a few moments, sprayed himself in the face with an aerosol can, and then lapped back into unconsciousness, the complaint states.
The officer took the spray can and the man woke up and exited the vehicle. According to the complaint, he then began walking toward the officer in a threatening manner, the complaint states.
The officer tried to disable Ingersoll with a stun gun, but was unsuccessful. Ingersoll then allegedly kicked the officer in the groin, causing "immense and intense pain," the complaint states.
Other officers then arrived on the scene and managed to subdue the man.
Ingersoll was released on Nov. 6 on a $1,000 cash bond and ordered to not possess or use any aerosol products.
He is expected to appear at a hearing on Nov. 26.

Taccarum ulei (Araceae, Spathicarpeae) is a seasonal geophytic aroid, native to north-eastern Brazil, that flowers during two months of the rainy season. Patterns of floral thermogenesis, pollination biology, and floral traits associated with pollination syndromes were studied and compared with those of other Araceae. Two species of cyclocephaline scarabs (Scarabaeidae, Cyclocephalini) were recognized as effective pollinators: Cyclocephala celata and Cyclocephala cearae. Larvae of an unidentified species of fruit fly (Melanoloma spp., Richardiidae, Diptera) were also frequently observed in inflorescences at various maturation stages, feeding on the connectives of male florets and fruits, and thus lowering the reproductive success of individual plants. Beetles were attracted by odoriferous inflorescences in the early evening of the first day of anthesis, during the female phase. The emission of attractive volatiles was coupled with intense thermogenic activity in the entire spadix, unlike other aroids in which only certain zones of the spadix heat up. Pollen release, which marks the beginning of the male phase on the subsequent evening, was not related to floral thermogenesis. Comparative multivariate analysis of the floral traits of T. ulei points to a beetle-pollinated aroid, although some of the observed traits of the species are not common to other taxa sharing this pollination strategy. Such incongruence might be explained by the evolutionary history of the tribe Spathicarpeae and potential pollinator shifts. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, ••, ••–••.

TORONTO, Aug. 7, 2014 /CNW/ - The Board of Directors of Canadian Tire Corporation today announced the appointment of Michael Medline as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective December 1, 2014. The Board is also very pleased to announce that Stephen Wetmore has agreed to remain on the Board of Directors in a new, non-executive position of Deputy Chairman.
Mr. Wetmore advised the Board of Directors in early 2013 that as he was approaching six years as CEO he had completed many of his original objectives and with the Company in a very strong position, he believed that the time was right to begin to plan the transfer of the President and CEO roles to a successor.
The Board of Directors reviewed a number of qualified external and internal candidates as part of a normal-course and rigorous succession planning exercise, resulting in the appointment of Michael Medline as President of the Company in November 2013.
"Michael's first-hand knowledge gained while running many of our business divisions and the role he has played for years in developing our strategy and leading our acquisitions uniquely position him now to assume the CEO role," said Maureen Sabia, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "We will have as our CEO one of the industry's most innovative leaders."
Michael Medline has been a senior executive of Canadian Tire for more than 13 years and has led many of the Company's most strategic initiatives, including the acquisition of Mark's in 2002, the acquisition of the Forzani Group in 2011, the acquisition of Pro Hockey Life and the recently announced Scotiabank partnership in May of this year. He has also directly led the operations of many of the Company's business units, including Petroleum, PartSource and Canadian Tire's Automotive division, FGL Sports and Mark's. Most recently, in his role as President, Mr. Medline has led all of the Company's business units, including a focus on adapting their business models to be more relevant in a world of rapidly changing technology and customer expectations.
Stephen Wetmore joined Canadian Tire's Board of Directors in 2003 and was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2008. He has led the evolution of the Canadian Tire brand and introduced a brand-led culture to the Company, while building a creative, innovative management team – all resulting in one of the Company's most exciting and fastest periods of growth in its history.
"Six years ago, the Board of Directors asked Stephen to lead us on a path of positioning Canadian Tire's iconic triangle as one of Canada's leading brands," continued Sabia. "We cannot thank Stephen enough for his enormous contributions to our success. The Company is now in an enviable position, with an impressive leadership team fully prepared to meet the challenges presented by the future and to meet the increasing expectations of our loyal customers. We are very fortunate indeed that Stephen has chosen to remain involved with the Company and we know that he will continue to make invaluable contributions in his new role as Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors."
"I am very proud of the team that we have running the Company today. For all of the strategic initiatives that will come and go, the glue that holds it all together is the talent, creativity and innovation of your executive team," said Mr. Wetmore. "Michael is an exceptional leader of this team and was the obvious successor for the CEO role as we began this transition late last year. I look forward to continuing to work with Michael in my new role on the Board and I know he will be exceptional in every regard as he takes on the leadership of the next chapter in the Company's evolution."
"It's a tremendous honour to be asked to lead a Canadian icon like Canadian Tire Corporation," said Mr. Medline. "Stephen is leaving Canadian Tire in a position of strength and with opportunities to build an even stronger Company. In a world increasingly driven by digital innovation and customer insights, we are extremely well positioned with the talent we have and the talent we are recruiting to meet the changing expectations of our customers. With the strong foundation and great assets we have, I am definitely optimistic about the Company's prospects for growth going forward," concluded Mr. Medline.
Canadian Tire will conduct a conference call to discuss information included in this news release and related matters at 12:00 p.m. ET on August 7, 2014. The conference call will be available simultaneously and in its entirety to all interested investors and the news media through a webcast at http://corp.canadiantire.ca/EN/investors, and will be available through replay at this website for 12 months.

Hatch Fan wins sailing innovation award
by Sail-World Cruising on 1 Feb 2013
Taku Hatch Fan at work .. .
A product which was made a new Product of the Week by Sail-World Cruising back in October has just won a 2013 Pittman Innovation Award. It is the Caframo Taku Hatch Fan.
While wind scoops work wonderfully in a breeze in an anchorage, and some of the better ones even work to the wind in a marina, if there's no wind and you don't go to air-conditioning, this hatch fan could be your answer.
The 12-volt Taku is designed to provide both powerful ventilation to remove hot, stale air from the cabin and quiet circulation to move air throughout. A unique locking suction cup mounting system allows the fan to be installed directly on hatch glass in seconds with no hole drilling or fasteners required. This means you can store it away when sailing and simply put it up when in a marina.
The pivoting fan head can be swiveled to allow the Taku to exhaust stale air out of the cabin or to draw fresh air in through the hatch. The fan head can also be swung down into the cabin, allowing a cooling breeze to be directed wherever it is needed.
In powerful Air Blast Exchange mode, the Taku will circulate air in or out of the cabin at a rate of over 500 cubic feet per minute (CFM). At the medium Comfort setting, the Taku can re-circulate fresh air in a 36' boat eight times per hour – the optimum air volume change rate recommended by the Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology.
Easy to use, push button controls operate all fan functions and the built-in LED cabin lamp. When not in use, the Taku can be folded up out of the way and locked into its yoke against the hatch glass.
Powered by an ultra-efficient, long-life, fully sealed, brushless motor that draws less than one amp at Comfort mode settings, the Taku has been specially-designed for the marine environment, with ball bearings, stainless steel shaft, UV- resistant plastic and EPDM suction cups.
For more information about the Taku Hatch Fan and other Caframo products, visit their www.caframo.com/marine!website.

He's very famous for a lot of things, and justifiably so. One of them is Industrial Light and Magic, which has been instrumental in the making of many of the special effects that have made the digital world so impressive. Gone are the smears of Vaseline along the bottom edge of the clear filter to hide the trolley that was actually transporting Luke Skywalker's Speeder, for instance.

America's Cup - Oracle Racing win in Court but with collateral damage
Oracle Racing have had another claim against them by a former crew member dismissed.

Thou doth protest too much, me thinks
And no, we're not off to analyse Hamlet right away. There'll be no surtitles popping up on the top of your screen
And no, we're not off to analyse Hamlet right away. There'll be no surtitles popping up on the top of your screen about now. At any rate, it is simply an adaptation of Lady Gertrude's original line. We merely seek to use it as a way to demonstrate that when there is a lot of brouhaha going on, the smoke screen ultimately ends up as a lovely, colourful flag as to the real intent behind it.

Children of the Internet, Rio and Hong Kong
I have four daughters, the youngest, who in her mid 20's is a true child of the Internet.
I have four daughters, the youngest, who in her mid 20's is a true child of the Internet. The kind of conversations I have with her run along these lines.... In the olden days we did not have television until I left school and they had a thing called print magazines, that reported events between two weeks and four months after they happened. And her sceptical response... Hoh! Daddy, Hoh!

Can World Sailing learn from dear old Oz?
Why just lay the drop sheets out and tape up the edges of the windows for a splash of paint
Some time ago now, Sail-World proposed that ISAF had a really good opportunity at hand when it morphed into World Sailing (WS). Why just lay the drop sheets out and tape up the edges of the windows for a splash of paint, when you could bring out the jackhammers and do a proper reno??? A call was issued for 200,000 sets of goggles and earmuffs to be supplied and for the real work to be commenced.

World Sailing Cup V3 - A Dead Rat in a Shoe or Spring Daffodils?
While a host of major sailing events go from strength to strength, the Sailing World Cup has very major issues.
Last night my Irish better half was sitting beside me on the sofa watching an Australian version of the popular TV Cooking Program My Kitchen Rules on a tablet with her headphones while I was watching Diehard II for the seventeenth time (it's a boy thing) on TV. She suddenly spluttered and laughed, took off her headphones and motioned for me to mute Diehard. (Seriously!!)

By listening to a book while I walk the dog or cook,I can be enjoying two books at once!
"Maybe a better book to read"
I love a book that jumps around a timeline, but I found this thoroughly confusing for the first few chapters. After I got the hang of it, it was better, but I think my brain would have followed the timeline better in writing!
Avid reader. Retired harpist Consider myself knowledgeable in the English language.
Way too hard to follow. What is real, what isn't? Too confusing for my addled brain.
"Mixed Emotions"
I still don't know I how I feel about this book. It took me forever to finish, because I could not get invested in the story for the first several hours. If you can make it through the first 10 hrs of audio, the story does begin to pick up. I am, however, tempted to listen to the book again or read the print version, because I am sure there are things I missed that would maybe help explain the story better. Or maybe not. Maybe there is no answer, but I do feel like I can know listen to A God in Ruins which has gotten more positive reviews, but of course I had to listen to the original before I could read the sequel.
"Teasing and tedious"
The book feels like a literary exercise that has gone on way too long. The same material is gone over from different angles again and again, but not a lot of insight is gained from the repetition. I kept hoping for the format or the story to yield something worth the wait by the end, but it never arrived. If you want good contemporary literary writing by a British woman, read H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald, or Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel. If you want interesting time travel writing set in WWII by a British woman, read Blackout by Connie Willis.
"Could not complete"
This is a story going nowhere. Disturbing and disjointed- as if the author could not choose which of the story lines to pursue.
I'm not even sure how to review this book. As far as the narrator, it was fantastic. I was very interested until the halfway point, where it seemed to drag on and on. I held hope that something would grab and pull it all together. That never happened. The premise was so intriguing and I feel this book could have been so much more.
"A good premise but a tedious listen"
I grew bored with the book and by the time it ended I didn't care about the outcome.
"Confusing, or maybe just so completely simple it was boring"
Like one of the reviews I read before reading the book (which should've been a clue for me), this book was full of lovely writing, but it just bored me--Groundhog Day. The characters were not all that likeable, nor did the scenes consume me, not the first time, & certainly not the fifth! I feel like an outsider given the solidly positive reviews a plenty, but I know what I like & it's not this book.
"Dull after Dull"
This book was so boring I couldn't finish. The narration was good but the story really lacked any interest.
"Very tedious"
I can't imagine anyone sitting thru this, I'd rather sit in line at the DMV.

Yep That's her! That flirty feline who might catch the eye of our dashing AquaKitty! Maybe we should call her PinkieKitty in honor of this adorable pick!
Very pretty pink pick!!!!
Alliteration anyone?
I like the kitty,. She seems like a very modern gal, not just sitting home wondering when her hero will come. I think she may be a career kitty.
AqK looks out the door of his floating castle…. he thinks he sees her- Just there, among the pinks! "What is she doing? I must find out " Declairs Aqk as he rushes madly out of the castle. He dives into the Amazonite see and swims with all his super speed. But Alas, no more than a glimpse. She is gone; not a sign of this vision anywhere. Sadly, they will not meet just yet….
Btw. I really do like this , Fav. These are great pinks together.
Oh, the sadness of missed opportunities, and he is not even sure of her name! The angst of it all. LOL
Have to get busy now with the "not as fun" stuff. See you later.
Oh Bubbly – so close and yet so far….I'm afraid our hero is smitten with this kitten!!!
Ha ha you chicks crack me up! I thought this pick was named after that Stevie Wonder song which gets me close to tears every time I hear it. lol Very pretty pinks in this pick though
Indeed…she is.
Oh Ivy, Now every time Aqk sees his mystery Kitty, he will hear Stevie singing!
Ivy! Mornin' Chica!
A fantastic pick!! I love natural pink agate and the rhodochrosite . I'm woking with a necklace with the Rhodochrosite, so let's see…
You chicks are a riot! Very pretty pick!
Hey, Isn't She Lovely can be "their" song…that american purple shell is so pretty!
So right Sparkle Chick – lovers, star-crossed or not, must have their own special song…
And the purple shell rondelles are the prettiest I've seen in a while – kinda spendy though!!
Pretty!! Awww! So close!
Good morning chicas/chickies! lol
Is this the Ballerina Kat?
Very beautiful Pick full of gorgeous pinks, the rhodonite w/ pyrite and the natural pink agate go so well together, and the american purple shell mixes in so well!!!! thanks for all the fun stories about our new fun feline aqua kitty and his new lady love!!!!
This is really pretty! I love the pinks these days as much as I do greens!
Ooooh, another chapter!!!! She seems just right for our super hero — a super heroine who can hold her own in this world and not need rescuing by AK, an equal to work beside him. So cute, so spunky, so adorable, so pink!!! I love this, Lorrie!
Love this pick, and now I'm off to bed. Good night chickies,
Here, AquaKitty! I think she might like a pretty new pink collar.

– The last home game for Duke's three seniors unexpectedly was tight until they turned it into a rout by doing what they do best.
Seth Curry
hit 3-pointers.
Mason Plumlee
battled in the paint.
Ryan Kelly
- well, he did a little bit of everything to help the third-ranked Blue Devils pull away and beat Virginia Tech 85-57 on Tuesday night.
"It's hard (to focus) until you realize you're about to lose or it's possible you could lose," Plumlee said.
Curry scored 20 points with five 3-pointers, and Kelly added 18 points with team bests of nine rebounds and five assists in his second straight strong performance since coming back from an injury.
Plumlee finished with 14 points for Duke (26-4, 13-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), which shot nearly 52 percent yet struggled for a while in a classic trap-game scenario before outscoring the Hokies 32-10 during the final 12-plus minutes to finish unbeaten at home for the 17th time in school history.
"We're emotionally spent," coach
Mike Krzyzewski
said. "We're not as physically spent as we are emotionally. It's been a heck of a thing. ... I'm proud of our guys. I thought the three seniors just asserted themselves in the second half."
Erick Green scored 25 points on 10 of 19 shooting to lead Virginia Tech (13-17, 4-13), which hasn't beaten a team in the upper half of the league standings all season.
"We were right there, but we didn't put a 40-minute game together," Green said. "We played 30 minutes, and then they just blew us out."
Still, for much of the game, they found a way to keep pace with Duke. Jarell Eddie's jumper with 12 1/2 minutes left pulled Virginia Tech to 53-47.
Kelly capped Duke's next possession with an extraordinary effort to stick back a rebound after
Tyler Thornton
had a shot blocked. The Blue Devils outrebounded Virginia Tech by 12 in the second half.
"That's a point of emphasis for us, period," Kelly said. "Rebounding's obviously something that, in the past, hasn't been our biggest strength. And if you can take your lesser strengths and make them bigger strengths, you can be a really good team."
That started a game-ending run in which the Blue Devils scored on 15 of their final 16 possessions and included curtain calls for the three seniors.
The Blue Devils improved to 17-0 this season with Kelly - a 6-foot-11 floor-stretching threat who missed nearly two months with a right foot injury. He scored 36 points last time out in his first game back, a 79-76 victory over then-No. 5 Miami three nights earlier.
"Kelly gives them a whole other level," said Eddie, who finished with 13 points. "They're really able to spread the floor. It's tough to guard all those guys."
Quinn Cook
also had 14 points while Curry - the son of former Virginia Tech and NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry - hit a handful of 3s against his dad's alma mater for the second time in 13 days.
There were traps aplenty in this one for the Blue Devils, who had a tough time generating the same high level of emotional energy that they had against the Hurricanes.
Couple that with rival North Carolina looming ahead this weekend, and it might have been easy for Duke to look past a last-place Virginia Tech team that the Blue Devils had beaten by 32 in Blacksburg yet quietly entered having won two of three.
"We definitely had to be (wary), and I think we were," Kelly said. "We knew we had to be prepared."
Cameron was energized for the Senior Night festivities - but not much else - during a first half surprisingly led for much of the way by the Hokies.
Duke outscored Virginia Tech 26-11 during a 9-minute stretch to turn a seven-point deficit into an eight-point lead, but led just 38-35 at the end of a sluggish opening 20 minutes. Duke pushed its lead to 12 slightly over 4 minutes into the second half on a Curry 3 before Green briefly brought the Hokies right back.
"You have a different type of emotion coming into the game - you want to play well really badly," Curry said. "You don't want to be nostalgic and think about it being your last game, but you can't help it. I think that's why we got off to a slow start."

She's not eating anymore! Obese Arsenal fan gets stuck in turnstile - then loses TEN stone by swapping Chinese takeaways for fruit and yoghurt
- Lorraine Gilling, 47, a bookmaker from Kent, has lost a massive 10st
- Decided to diet after being humiliated at a football match
- Her 20st frame got stuck in the Old Trafford turnstile in front of rival fans
- She has swapped takeaways for fruit and has slimmed to a size 12
Until recently, Lorraine Gilling, 47, from Rainham in Kent, was a big fan of Arsenal in more ways than one - tipping the scales at an unhealthy 20st.
Now the devoted football fan has lost half of her body weight after getting stuck in the turnstiles at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium.
Embarrassingly, two stewards then had to haul her hefty frame through the narrow entrance in front of jeering supporters.
She slims, she scores! The newly slimline Lorraine shows off her slender new size 12 frame
Fat fan slim: Lorraine, pictured with Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, has lost a staggering 10st in two years
Lorraine, who had gone to the stadium to watch the rugby Challenge Cup final, was so embarrassed she spent the first half crying in the toilets.
'I didn't think I was going to be able to get through the turnstile,' remembers Lorraine who works as a bookmaker.
'I turned sideways on but I just got stuck and two stewards had to pull my arms and I had to get a push from behind.
'I was absolutely devastated and I was so embarrassed. It was in front of all these teenage boys from the rugby team and their dads.'
The sports fan was so upset by the incident, she decided to give up her treasured season ticket at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, worried she was taking up too much room.
Favourite: A tubby Lorraine (right) poses with Dutch former Arsenal player, Marc Overmars
Va va voom: French international Thierry Henry was another favourite player of Lorraine's
Heavyweight: Lorraine was so embarrassed by the Old Trafford incident, she gave up her season ticket
'I gave up my Arsenal season ticket after 14 years because I didn't want to be seen out and about.
'There were times that I wouldn't go out for a walk because I was scared that if I fell over I wouldn't be able to get back up.
'When I was sitting on the seats at the football I was conscious that I was overhanging and sitting on somebody's lap.'
But despite the humiliation, the incident has proven to be a blessing in disguise for Lorraine, who, determined never to repeat it, went on to lose 10st by swapping unhealthy Chinese food for fruit and yoghurt.
Lorraine, who is divorced, piled on the pounds as a child and got even fatter after developing a penchant for comfort eating as a teenager.
Happier: Lorraine, who won Kent slimmer of the year, is now on the waiting list for a new season ticket
By the time she reached her late 20s, she weighed 21st and needed a walking stick to follow her team around Europe.
But over the last two years, Lorraine, who says her favourite players are Marc Overmars and Thierry Henry, has slimmed from a size 34 dress to a trim size 12.
She was named Kent Slimmer of the Year 2013 and is now taking part in a national competition to be Slimming World's slimmer of the year.
Lorraine has also started going back to see her beloved Arsenal - and is on the waiting list to become a season ticket holder once again.

A Darfield man accused of drink-driving leading to the death of a passenger flew to Australia within 24 hours of the crash, the Crown says.
Crown prosecutor Anselm Williams said the man denied he had been in the crashed car and had left the accident scene. He boarded a plane to the Queensland's Gold Coast within 24 hours of the crash.
Cody Marcus John Pierce, 23, denied three charges as his five-day Christchurch District Court trial began before Judge Alistair Garland and a jury today.
The Crown alleges that Pierce caused the death of his passenger, Sean Christopher Frost, in the October 27, 2012, crash at West Melton. Frost died in hospital five days later.
Pierce denies alternative charges of causing Frost's death by driving under the influence of drink to such an extent that he was incapable of having proper control, and that he caused the death by careless driving while under the influence of drink.
The third charge accuses him of failing to render "all practicable assistance" to Frost at the crash scene. He also denies that charge.
Williams said witnesses would be called to give evidence that Pierce had gone to a party near Darfield on the afternoon of the crash. He had drunk a significant amount of alcohol - premixed bourbon - until he left the party in the evening.
Witnesses would describe his behaviour at the party, and would say he appeared drunk.
Williams pointed to a text message Pierce sent to his girlfriend at 7pm, about two hours before the crash, saying he was "drunk already".
Pierce was never breath-tested. He left the accident scene before the police arrived and he had flown to the Gold Coast before he could be spoken to.
The Crown would say that Pierce was the driver of the vehicle - Frost's four-wheel drive vehicle - when he left the party, and later when the pair drove away from Pierce's address in Darfield.
Williams said Pierce had lost control on a bend and crashed the car into a power pole.
Pierce and a driver in a following vehicle got Frost, who had been badly injured, out of the vehicle and onto the ground. When local residents arrived to assist, one of them spoke to Pierce and he denied he had been in the vehicle.
Pierce left the scene soon after in the following vehicle.
Within 30 minutes Pierce had sent a text message to a friend saying he "might be coming to Goldie [The Gold Coast]" and he boarded a flight to Australia next day, Williams said.
Richard Maze appears for Pierce.
The trial is continuing.

The Easter season, also known as the Great Fifty Days, begins at sunset Easter eve and continues through the Day of Pentecost.
It is the most joyous celebrative season of the Christian year. It focuses on Christ's resurrection, ascension and on the givings of the Holy Spirit on the first Easter (John 20:22-23) and the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2).
The ancient Christian name of the festival Pasch, derived from the Hebrew "pesah" (deliverance or passover), thus connecting the Resurrection to the Exodus. The origin of the English word Easter is disputed but may come from the Anglo-saxon spring goddess Eastre and her festival.
The liturgical colour for this season is white, symbolising purity and celebration.

New Liga MX Side Atlas Owner TV Azteca Considering Purchasing Additional Land
Published December 5, 2013
TELEVISA KEEPING RIGHTS: In Mexico City, Minelli Atayde reported TV Azteca exec Gustavo Guzmán "explained that although the club's new leaders have not been elected, what he does know is that Mexican broadcaster Televisa will continue broadcasting Atlas games for the remainder of the current season." Guzmán: "We have not sat down with Televisa to see if it is possible, but what I can assure is that in January, Atlas games will be seen on Televisa. During the football year from May to June, it is not desirable to make changes. All the regulations cover a year." It is "said that TV Azteca will eventually ask for Atlas broadcast rights in exchange for giving up some of its rights to other teams" (LA AFICION, 12/3).
