I have worked and met with most all the staff at WeSpark and they truly hold my highest regards for their passion and dedication to their cause. I have seen numerous guest (patients) who come to WeSpark for some form of support and they have always been welcomed and nurtured with open arms and without descrimination to any particular circumstance. I have had the pleasure of working with this fine organization and look forward to on many accounts in the future. Without any reservation, I highly recommend anyone to be involved themselves with WeSpark on some level.

The impact of the classic Bertram 54' was distinctive in the marine industry became one of the most sought after Bertram models over the years. The 54 is the quintessential sport-fishing machine, maintains the features of the classic 54', and introduces innovative elements to a sport fish craft. The result was a yacht that delivers ultimate steadfast performance and sea keeping ability of a fishing vessel combined with the ultra luxury and comfort of a cruising yacht.
Aside from its incredible seaworthiness, this model offers attributes to enhance the cruising experience. Undoubtedly, the most striking feature is the forward wrap around window that provides breathtaking views of the surrounding waters and allows for an incredible amount of natural light to shine through the interior of the yacht. The ambiance created from these windows and the open salon layout provides a unique experience for entertaining on the open water. Port and starboard stateroom windows also lend to added natural light and exquisite views of the sea. These state of the art windows are made of multiple layers of glass and are both tested and designed exclusively by Ferretti group's Advanced Yacht Technologies. They are engineered to hold up to the roughest sport-fishing conditions and are actually reinforced with directly into the fiberglass hull, contributing to the overall hull strength and design.
The open view layout of the 54 is radiant with white oak, which provides an elegant richness and enhances the natural light that enters the salon. The galley area features a beautiful open bar area to facilitate movement between the salon and the cockpit entry way for a more open entertaining and dining experience. An innovative retractable aft cockpit window, which recedes down into the bulkhead for easy pass through of drinks and food was also added between the cockpit and the galley.
Many other elements were incorporated into the design of the 54 to enhance the overall ease of use and to provide the ultimate entertainment experience for all of those aboard. Stereo sound systems were integrated into the bridge, salon and cockpit featuring iPOD connection for quality sound and easy control from any location on the boat. Additional amenities such as LED lighting, 12 and 110 volt outlets and extra cup holders were added for a more comfortable, modern day experience. Also, appliances and components were selected for their ease of serviceability for both U.S. and European markets.
Outfitted as an extreme fishing machine, the 54 is also streamlined with features that adhere to the needs of the true fisherman. This yacht features underwater exhaust and maximized storage space to hold up to 25 fishing rods. Additional tackle storage is incorporated into the mezzanine along with a baitwell and freezer. The transom fish box can also be converted into another baitwell or icemaker with ease. The fish boxes on the cockpit floor have been made larger and deeper and are now placed on each side of the fighting chair for easier access from the transom door.
With its universal appeal, this new model is proof of Bertram's steady commitment to excellence. It pushes the standards in yacht building, while staying committed to the core principles and classic design of Bertram Yachts.

I was wondering if in chrome code we have some better way to detect when the user selects/highlights something in the current page than listening for
mouseup and checking
window.getSelection(). Any ideas?
edit: Actually, what I'm trying to do is simply preventing the user from selecting any text at all in the contentDocument. Something that accomplishes this will be fine as well. (The idea behind getting the selection event was just to
preventDefault() or otherwise
edit2: Please note that I need not just to prevent the highlighting from showing up, but rather the selection from happening.
edit3: I don't need to prevent copying but rather selecting the elements.

The core of these platforms is the 65nm AMD Turion Neo X2 but the real star is the chipset.

Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on the situation in Ukraine
New York, 19 February 2014
The Secretary-General continues to follow developments in Ukraine with increasing alarm. He urges an immediate end to the violence in the strongest terms and again stresses that resorting to such measures by any side is totally unacceptable. The Secretary-General equally urges the Government to desist from the use of excessive force, underscoring the need for the authorities to abide by international human rights norms.
The Secretary-General reiterates his call for the immediate renewal of genuine, constructive dialogue to resolve the deepening political and security crisis. He appeals to the Ukrainian authorities to act decisively in brokering a peaceful end to the crisis in a way that is in keeping with the demands and the aspirations of the Ukrainian people.

4-7-09 Love Julia Child and I miss her, thank goodness I have her shows on DVD. I love the flavor of these ingredients together, perfect!! I used a mandoline to get all my zucchini slices the same size for even cooking and I minced one shallot very finely. I do not know why I grabbed my mandoline instead of my box grater, I was asleep today as I was supposed to grate the zucchini!!!!Oopss!! I used 2 to 1 olive oil to butter instead of butter to olive oil so mine was more the like the Mediterranean version today but had I had some creme fraiche in the fridge, I wouldn't have been able to resist trying that so I will definitely make that version next time!! Thanks for posting!! UPDATE: I had to make this again, shredding the zucchini the right way!! The flavor is outstanding and Julia really has a great one here because when you add the salt to your zucchini in your collander,,it starts to draw out the liquid immediately! I made the richer version this time by adding a bit of heavy cream but not a whole cup, just a little for taste. Love this recipe, thanks again!!
This is great, I did not salt the zucchini but squeezed it in my potatoe ricer. I did add some finely minced garlic and a tad more olive oil. Thanks for the new way to make zucchini.
I was feeling particularly not-wanting-to-cook-anything-y one night and I had two zucchinis in the fridge that were nearing their end, so I decided to try this as my dinner. I put a bit of garlic powder in it (I tend to get kinda crazy with fresh minced garlic sometimes), and used 1 Tbsp dried minced onion (all I had, onion-wise). Be sure to squeeze all the liquid you can out of the zucchini once grated, or it will be pretty watery. It was very good, but I felt it needed....something. Another seasoning, maybe? I don't know, but I'd definitely make it again.

The 25-year-old man was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died.
Police don't have much information on the shooterwho fled the sceneonly saying that the suspect is "probably a male."
SPD's gang unit was on the scene and homicide detectives are investigating.
According to state records, The Baltic Room's owner also co-owns the Level 5 nightclubformerly Club Elementon lower Queen Anne.
In October, three people were shot outside Level 5, after an argument in the club spilled out into the street. Prior to that, in July, SPD broke up a fight involving nearly 100 people at the club, during a birthday party for NBA player Brandon Roy.
According to the owner of a business near the Baltic Room, there was no fight or argument preceding the shooting. The business owner, who witnessed the shooting, says Alana Franklin High School graduatewas standing in the smoking area in front of the club when another man turned around and shot him 3 or 4 times.
The business owner says he often sees fights outside of the Baltic Room, but that things have gotten especially bad since they started their hip-hop night. "There's a really bad energy around there," he says.


text: Hi! This plugin sounds great. I don't get the "force ssl" as an option either, but it does got to SSL when I enter the value. The problem is that the "page is not found" on https. What do I need to do to make that happen?? I can't figure out how it works. If I just load a file outside of wordpress and add https it loads just fine, but nothing in wordpress will load with 'https' why is this and what do I need to do?

Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on Pakistan
New York , 9 June 2014
The Secretary-General strongly condemns yesterday's terrorist attacks in Pakistan, including the assault on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi in which reportedly at least 29 people died, and the suicide attacks targeting Shia pilgrims in Taftan, Baluchistan, which reportedly left at least 25 people dead and many more injured.
The Secretary-General is deeply concerned by this upsurge of violence across Pakistan. While acknowledging the measures already taken to maintain security, he urges the Government of Pakistan to further increase its efforts to address terrorism and religious extremism, including with a view to protecting the rights of all people to safely practice their religion, and to bring the perpetrators of such attacks to justice.
The Secretary-General expresses his solidarity with the Government and the people of Pakistan and extends his deepest condolences to the families of the victims.

Guide By: jackanape
There are 41 achievements with a total of 1000 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 9/10
-Offline: 28 (670)
-Online: 13 (330)
-Approximate amount of time to 1000g: 40+ hours
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 + 5 Online seasons
-Number of missable achievements: None!
-Glitched achievements: No
-Do cheat codes disable achievements?: No cheats
This game is all about skill, especially if you want to do well online or get all of the achievements on Hard difficulty. I would suggest not even touching the online mode until you have finished with your career – or you will regret it.
Top Spin 3 is a pretty tricky tennis game as the power of your shots is all about timing the release of the buttons rather than just hitting them. I would recommend you go through the Tutorial first as it really does explain a lot of the mechanics and will make the whole thing easier. Boosting for the online achievements is also highly recommended as there are some extremely unbalanced players out there that will destroy your in a matter of moments.
BE AWARE: For playing Five Seasons on the online World Tour you must play (and win) a tournament match rather than just a random game. This will get you a ranking. You will then have to wait 14 days for the next season to commence, so just win another tournament game and repeat the procedure until you are done.
Step #1: Tutorial and Career
Play the tutorial first for the achievement then go straight to career mode. Play through each season and ALWAYS select the harder events as they will net you more ranking points and money. When you qualify for the Legend stage of your career be sure to change the difficulty up to Hard (if you had it on Easy) before tackling the Hall of Fame mode as there is an achievement tied to this. You should get achievements for matches played, points scored, money won, items bought from the shop, fully upgraded player and all of the career ones.
Step #2: Clean up and Tournament mode
Play a doubles match and win, then go to tournament mode and win every event there. Finally you will need to set up specific exhibition matches for all of the Hard difficulty achievements – use your created player here and set them up exactly how they are described on the achievement or it will not work (be aware that most of the Hard difficulty achievements will ONLY unlock in exhibition games). If you are still short on certain points (for serves, volleys etc) then set up a game against a second controller or the easy A.I. to finish these off.
Step #3: Online (World Tour)
There is a long, but easy, method for getting everything done with two people and a few backup accounts see here (Post 17). Failing that you would be advised to use your created character and do your best. Be sure to play fifty games with a male and fifty with a female too – does not matter if you win. For the 4 Finals in a season they must be either Grand Slams or the second highest event and you MUST play the final. In order to play in five World Tour seasons you MUST get a ranking by winning at least one tournament game and then wait 14 days for the next season to begin and repeat the process etc.
This game is hard to get used to and beating the A.I. on the toughest difficulty will require no small measure of skill. All of the online achievements can be boosted, but it is a long procedure and your work can be ruined if a different player jumps into a game you are trying to set up. Playing online legit is even worse as many people have created unrealistic players with 100 for power etc that will cream you every time. Good luck.
x360a would like to thank jackanape for this Road Map
|Rookie award
|Complete the Amateur level in career.
|Extremely easy, the Amateur level only consists of three Tie-break matches against very poor opponents. If you lose you can just try again and you can also change the difficulty to Very Easy if you're struggling. Also you can turn Auto-save off (press on the career screen and select the relevant option) and only save after each win. Obviously you must have created a player first – so do that on the Main Menu.
|Newcomer Award
|Complete the Challenger level in career.
|Again a fairly straightforward arrangement as you only have to play a grand total of six one set matches to progress, the competition is slightly better but not enough that you'll actually struggle.
|Orange Prize
|Complete the Junior level in career.
|The game now progresses to the more standard set-up, as you now have access to a calendar of events. You can choose between an easy or hard event each month, or just skip a month entirely. I'd recommend choosing the hard event each month as you'll earn more ranking points, career money and unlock points – all of which benefit you further down the line. So you'll have to play a total of twelve events (with three matches in each, assuming you win) and finish in the top three to progress.
|Legends Club
|Complete the Pro level in career.
|Pretty much identical to the Junior Tour but against proper opponents this time around, so you'll need to have some skills (or put it on easy). The events now consist of five matches each and you'll earn significantly more points for winning, again I would recommend playing the harder tournaments as the money and points on offer will help towards other achievements.
|Lemon Prize
|Complete the Legend level in career.
|Rinse and repeat what you've been through so far, just win everything available and save your progress after every game to be safe. The Legend level requires you to fulfill two tasks: beating all of the Grand Slams in a row (these events are the same as the ones on the pro tour) and winning the Hall of Fame, which comprises of eight matches against top players on a variety of surfaces.
|Two in a row
|Win 2 consecutive tournaments in the Pro level in career.
|Just win two consecutive months tournaments. Doesn't matter if one is easy and one is hard, just make sure you save after every match so that if something does go wrong you can replay a match.
|Big Spender
|Unlock 300 items in the mall.
|Access the Mall by pressing in career mode to take you to the player area, then select the second option. Every match you play will give you unlock points and you can earn more than enough for this through Career mode. You need roughly 20,000 points and if you win every Hard event in your career then you will probably have this amount by your fifth/sixth event on the Pro tour. Go to the Global store and buy everything you can with a price of 250 or less. This will be more than enough to get the achievement.
|Reach an Overall of 70 with a created player.
|An average of 70 is the absolute MAX you can get a created player to, as you only have 560 points to spread between the eight attributes. Every match you use your created player in will earn you points but you'll get plenty from winning events in Career mode so focus on that. The fastest way to get this is to give your player 70 in every skill – as this requires least points, but I recommend leaving certain skills lower and making your player outstanding (80/90) in two or three areas, as this will make matches easier on the whole than having an Average Joe.
|Played cash.
|Win $5,000,000 in Career mode.
|Win every Hard (doesn't have to be on hard difficulty mind you) event in the career mode and you'll have this by the Dublin tournament in the Pro tour. The Hard events have better prize money so always enter those.
|Here you go!
|Create a player with the Player Creator.
|Go to the Player Creator option on the Main Menu and just select a character, all you have to do is name them and then save – you can change other options if you like but its isn't required. Once you Save this will unlock. You'll need to do this before playing online or in career mode anyway.
|Big names club
|Complete the Hall Of Fame in career mode on hard difficulty.
|Fairly self-explanatory. Be warned that the A.I gets a lot better on Hard difficulty and uses power and risk shots quite often, so you'll have to have got to grips with the mechanics of the game before you're prepared to take them on. The Hall of Fame is one part of The Legend tour on Career mode and you have to play the eight best players in the game on their favourite surface. Good luck.
|Trigger Happy
|Hit 500 winners from the baseline in singles matches.
|This doesn't just apply to shots when you are stood at the baseline (the line that you serve from) but to any winner you hit when the ball has already bounced once. I unlocked this by hitting a winner from the centre of the court – as long as the ball has bounced then it will count. The only exception (I believe) is on service returns, so if you score a winner when hitting your opponents serve back that may not count.
|First liner
|Hit 250 winners at the net in singles matches.
|As with the baseline achievement you don't HAVE to be at the net for the point to count, basically any point you win when hitting a volley (i.e. when you hit the ball before it has a chance to bounce) will count. So volleys, smashes etc are all good. If you're struggling then play on Very Easy and hit soft shots towards your opponent and then rush the net at the earliest opportunity, you should easily be able to score a lot of points this way. I recommend using the shot unless you have a high volley statistic as the A.I struggles to return it.
|Mean server
|Serve 100 aces in singles matches.
|Pretty much impossible to get against the A.I unless you get a massive serve statistic throughout your career (I only have 1 ace in my entire career). So I would recommend plugging in a second pad and playing against yourself, you can get 4 aces a game - so if you set it to 6 games per set and 5 sets per match you'll be able to amass 36 aces a match. Three matches like that and you're done.
|2K award
|Win 2000 points in singles matches.
|Every point you win counts towards this achievement, even those when your opponent hits the ball out or Double Faults. Don't worry about playing an endless amount of exhibition matches as you'll easily earn enough points throughout the single player career (if you win every match) as if you win every match perfectly, not going to Deuce or losing a game etc, then there are plenty more than 2,000 available.
|Faster this way
|Serve at least 10 aces in a singles match.
|You'll get this while going for the 100 serves against your non-playing friend, make sure you play at least six games in a match though as you'll need to serve in three games to get 10+ aces. Just press A and release when the ball as it it's highest and the ball will stay inbounds. If you want this legit then I suggest playing long games and aiming into the corners early, mix up the angles you serve at and add extra power with . You'll need to practice the timing.
|No kidding
|Win a singles match with at least 30 winners, less than 10 unforced errors on hard difficulty.
|I'd recommend going for this and 'Men's Award' at the same time, as 30 winners requires you to win about 8 games anyway so you may as well kill two birds with one stone. If you want to go for this separately though play a game with 5 sets and 3 games per set, so you'll need to hit at least 36 points to win. That gives you some leeway for your opponent hitting the ball out etc. An unforced error is when you hit the ball out, into the net or double fault so try to be cautious.
|Men's award
|Win a singles match with 5 sets per match and 6 games per set on hard difficulty.
|Doesn't matter how you win so just go all out, set up an exhibition match using your favourite player against the weakest female opponent (sorry ladies). I'd also recommend playing on clay as the A.I has a tougher time returning deep shots into the corners due to the lower bounce.
|Focused award
|Win a singles match with 3 sets per match and 3 games per set with less than 10 unforced errors.
|You can do this against a second pad and just ace all your own serves while returning theirs for an easy point, or just make then Double Fault every serve whichever is easiest.
|Rusher award
|Win a singles match with 3 sets per match and 3 games per set with at least 20 winners at net.
|This can be tough as if you win every point then there are only 24 on offer, you can cheat it though by deliberately getting games to Deuce and then winning/losing points by getting as many volleys as you need. Just use the button to hit easy shots to your opponent and get to the net ASAP, then use or and hit angled volleys away from your opponent. Best done against the A.I on Very Easy as they hit easy shots that you can volley and will rarely lob you when you're at the net.
|Not that tough
|Win 10 consecutive singles matches on hard difficulty without dropping serve.
|Set matches to one set and only three games, then put yourself at the top of the court so you are receiving serve first. That way if you win every game you only have to serve once and it reduces the risk. Make sure to play against the weakest A.I opponent you can find, and if you lose serve quit to the dashboard before the game saves.
|Court Regular
|Play 100 matches (singles or doubles, in any game mode).
|Don't bother boosting for this as you'll play well over 100 games in Career mode anyway so any extra games are unnecessary. I'd also recommend only playing singles games, as all of the points achievements ONLY count during singles so doubles is pretty much a waste of time.
|World premiere
|Win a World Tour match.
|World Tour is the online ranked mode, you can enter a variety of tournaments and winning them earns you money and ranking points as in single player. If you get knocked out of an event though you can't re-enter it until a new season starts so be aware of that. All you have to do is beat one person in any game (Quick Match counts too) and this will unlock. If they quit at anytime before or during the match this will NOT unlock though you will be credited with a win, you have to fully finish and win a match for this to count.
|Keep it up
|Win 5 consecutive World Tour matches.
|See 'It's all about timing, see?'.
|It's all about timing, see?
|Win 10 consecutive World Tour matches.
|You'll need to win 10 matches in a row for this to unlock, though the games can be split between both the men's and women's online World Tour (so you could get 4 on one and 6 on the other). If you are good then this will come eventually but if you want to boost then have yourself and a friend join the same tournaments at the same time and you'll be paired together. Let one of you win ten in a row, then the other player can return the favour through Quick matches (As once you get to the semis etc in a tournament you can only play people who have reached the same stage).
|World career
|Play 100 matches in World Tour.
|You must fully complete 100 games for this to count, you can't just quit matches as even though it gives you a loss it doesn't count as a game played for some reason. So the best way is to boost this with a friend and take it in turns winning and losing – though it doesn't matter if you win or not to be honest.
|100 mixed
|Play 50 matches in women's World Tour and 50 matches in men's World Tour.
|Do this at the same time as the above, and make sure that you complete every game for this to unlock. You can only have one player active in each online mode at the same time, so don't create and play with a new player on the same account as it will wipe all of your stats on any players you've used before. This needs to be 50 with ONE man and 50 with ONE woman.
|Beaten em' all
|Win a Grand Slam tournament in World Tour.
|Skill will get you this, good luck.
|Season's 5000s
|Win 5000 points in a World Tour Season.
|This isn't related to points won in a game but refers to season points that you acquire for winning matches and tournaments. If you are boosting then just let one player win all the minor events and the first round in all of the major ones – this will get you nearly 3000 points. So use a second account to boost your friend into the next rounds too and then trade victories so that you both have the required number of points from the remaining events. You can also play quick matches to score more points if you fall short.
|That goes with glory
|Win $1,000,000 World Tour Prize money.
|A lot easier than it looks if you are using the above boosting method. Just winning all the minors and first round events will net you nearly $800,000 so if you share out who wins in the finals between you and your friend you'll amass the rest of the money you need.
|Grid-top regular
|Reach 4 finals in a World Tour season.
|This achievement is misleading as you don't just have to reach the finals, you have to play them too – and it doesn't count for the minor events that are only one round. So you have to get through a couple of matches at least. You don't have to win the finals though, just taking part is enough.
|Local Champ
|Enter your geographical zone's top 1000 (at least 20 matches played in World Tour).
|This is easier than it looks, especially at the moment, as not many people are playing this game at the moment so there are only 1,400 players total online in the men's tour and very few of them have played 20+ matches. So winning about 5 of your first twenty games will see you into the top 1,000. It's also split by region (Europe, North America etc) so your odds are even better.
|Tennis elbow
|Lose a singles match on Xbox LIVE without winning a game.
|Doesn't work if you forfeit, so just play a match and don't win a game – should get this if you boost for Tennis Teacher.
|Tennis teacher
|Win a singles match on Xbox LIVE without losing a game.
|Tough to do this legit as most of the online regulars are damn fine players SO just set up a match with a friend and have them do nothing until you win. Easy as.
|World Tour Regular
|Play 5 seasons in World Tour.
|If you play all 14 online events to completion (win or lose) then the season will end and you can start a new one, so you'll need to do this five times to unlock this award. The season's are also timed so I'm not sure if you have to wait for time to run out before a new season will begin – any help would be appreciated here.
|School's Out
|Complete every lesson in the Top Spin School.
|Tougher than it sounds this one and can take a couple of hours of your time easily. Basically the school is on the Main Menu and you can use it to access all of the tutorials about the various shots on offer in the game. I'd recommend you do this anyway to familiarise yourself with the controls but be warned that some of the shots are quite tricky to handle. Also make sure you leave Mixed Shots until last as you'll need to do the others first to understand what shots are available.
|Tournament hot shot
|Win all tournaments in Tournament mode.
|Tournament mode is separate to the career or online mode but features most of the same tournaments, it's available from the Main Menu. You can play through using any player (including your created one) and on any difficulty so just take your time and beat them all.
|Half the way
|Win 1000 points in singles matches, in any game mode against any opponent.
|See 2K Award.
|Safeplay award
|Win a set with no unforced errors in a singles match, in any game mode, against any opponent.
|Can be done easily against the A.I on lower difficulties or against a second controller, just make sure you don't double fault, hit the net or hit out of bounds and you'll nab this easily. Remember that it only has to be in one set and not the entire match so you should get this during career without even trying.
|Warmed up
|Win a singles match, in any game mode against any opponent.
|Just play a singles match in exhibition, online, career or tournament mode and this will unlock when you win. If you struggle with the timing them change the difficulty to Very Easy. Remember to hold the shot button for power and release it just after the ball has bounced on your side of the court for better timing.
|Winning duo
|Win a doubles match.
|The only time you'll have to play doubles as it's really not necessary for any other achievements. You can make this really easy by putting one or two pads on the other team and just serving up a load of aces.

Major Moves for Atlético Madrid
On-Field Success, New Stadium Part of Plan to Challenge Spain's Heavyweights
MADRID—After 17 years of soccer horror, almost everything's coming up Atlético Madrid.
Last weekend, Atlético—the perennial also-ran in the Spanish capital, behind powerhouse Real Madrid—became the leader of Spain's La Liga for the first time since 1996. It did it by trouncing of Real Sociedad 4-0 while Barcelona FC suffered a shock defeat at home against Valencia.
Then on Wednesday, Atlético unveiled the centerpiece of its plan for Spanish soccer domination—a stadium-management deal with CenterplateISG, a joint venture between U.S. and U.K. firms that specialize in organizing sports events.
The first of its kind by a Spanish soccer team, the deal is tailored to help Atlético boost attendance-generated revenue. Coupling this with a new TV rights deal, Atlético is hoping to compete successfully with Real Madrid and Barcelona, the world's wealthiest teams.
The stadium deal will be effective from 2016, when Atlético is scheduled to start playing in a new venue. Andrew Hampel, chief executive of the U.K.'s ISG, said slowness in the stadium project is an advantage: It will give CenterplateISG time to get involved in the design of revenue-producing hospitality venues and VIP areas. For example, Mr. Hampel said, elevators and kitchens will be positioned so that food is still warm when it reaches the vending areas.
La Peineta, as the stadium is commonly known, was conceived as the main venue for the Olympic Games—before Madrid lost three straight bids to host them. Its location at the center of a largely empty area set aside for an Olympic village is another potential edge for CenterplateISG. Unlike several new English stadiums, including Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, this one doesn't have nearby bars and restaurants that could compete with vendors inside.
CenterplateISG said revenue generated by the deal will be shared with Atlético, but declined to give details.
The company brings wide international experience to Madrid. Centerplate has worked on three of the last four Super Bowls in the U.S. and 21 baseball World Series. ISG has been involved in more than 60 new stadium projects around the world, including the U.K.'s Wembley and the Turk Telekom Arena in Istanbul.
Miguel Angel Gil Marín, Atlético's chief executive, said the switch to the new stadium will represent a radical change for Atlético after playing half a century in the Vicente Calderón stadium just south of downtown Madrid. "El Calderón" has 54,000 seats, about 20,000 fewer than those planned for La Peineta and little room for VIP areas. Its parking lots are small, and match days are often marked by traffic jams and massive illegal parking on nearby sidewalks—which often encourages people to leave right after the match.
"Our objective is to change the fans' habits. We want them to arrive earlier and leave later, not just being there for the game," Mr. Gil Marín said. "That's a big change from the way things are currently done in Spanish soccer."
Mr. Gil Marín added that by 2016 he expects a TV rights deal among Spain's top soccer clubs, one that would bring additional revenue to perennial challengers such as Atlético, Valencia and Sevilla FC.
The expected deal hinges on a proposed sports law that the Spanish government may enact as early as this spring, Mr. Gil Marín said. The law, he said, would put Spanish soccer on a par with the likes of the English Premier League, by changing the way TV rights are sold. Under the new law, broadcasters would negotiate with the league as a whole, rather than individual deals—a practice that gave Real Madrid and Barcelona the lion's share of TV revenue.
For years, the two dominant teams have resisted moving to a collective rights deal, unless it ensures each of them at least 20% of revenue, regardless of performance.
The financial imbalance is reflected on the pitch. No team other than the two super-clubs has won the La Liga title since Valencia in 2004. Atlético was last champion in 1996, led on the field by Argentina's Diego Simeone, who now coaches the club.
Last year, Atlético put an end to an unprecedented 14-year streak in which it was unable to win a single match against Real Madrid. And even this season, which is shaping up to be Atlético's best in ages, there are signs that the Real-Barcelona duopoly is still going strong: on Wednesday night, hours after the CenterplateISG deal was announced, Real beat Atlético 3-0 in the first round of the Spanish Cup, moving close to a final against, who else, Barcelona.
"It's very important that we secure a fair deal with TV rights," Mr. Gil Marín said. "We intend to stay among the top 16 teams in Europe, and we need resources to compete."

Ryan Dunn, a founding member of the "Jackass" crew, and star of their three films and MTV shows, died in a car crash early Monday morning. He was 34.
The crash occurred around 2:38 a.m. ET in the Pennsylvania community of West Goshen Township, according to local police who said in an official statement that they arrived on the scene to find a car engulfed in flames. The statement confirms that Dunn was driving and that a passenger who remains unidentified also died in the crash. Speed may have been a factor.
TMZ.com, which first reported the crash, referenced images of Dunn posted to Twitter several hours before the crash, in which he was drinking alcohol.
In addition to starring in "Jackass," Dunn also appeared in spin-off series including "Viva La Bam," "Bam's Unholy Union," and "Bam's World Domination."
Most recently he was starring as the co-host of "Proving Ground," a new series on the G4 Network that premiered last Tuesday. Dunn also had at least a dozen acting roles, including a co-starring role in the 2009 film "Street Dreams," written by skateboarder Rob Dyrdek, alongside Paul Rodriguez, Dyrdek, Terry Kennedy, and Ryan Sheckler. He has roles in two upcoming films currently in post-production: "Booted" and "Welcome to the Bates Motel."
MTV posted to Twitter Monday morning: "We're deeply saddened by the passing of a member of the MTV family, Ryan Dunn. Our hearts and thoughts are with his friends and family."
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

Box-office preview: Hopkins has 'The Rite' stuff
Published: Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 6:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 6:04 p.m.
LOS ANGELES — Having played one of the most famous movie villains of all time, Anthony Hopkins takes up priestly duties in Warner Bros.' "The Rite" on over 3,000 screens this weekend and will likely exorcise between $16 million to $18 million from audiences.
A huge marketing push for the PG-13 rated horror-thriller should help. Also, January tends to be a fairly frightful month at theaters, with scary films now a staple of the time frame. Last year, there was "Legion" and "Daybreakers," while 2009 included "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" and the "The Unborn" — all with opening weekends in the $15 million to $20 million range.
After grabbing 12 Academy Award nominations on Tuesday, The Weinstein Co.'s "The King's Speech" is perfectly primed for a so-called Oscar bump and a chance to achieve its highest chart position yet with the addition of 873 theaters. Look for the "King's" weekend ransom to be around $10 million, with a $70 million domestic total by Sunday night.
Of course, George VI will have to avoid a royal butt-kicking by ever-present man of mayhem Jason Statham in the remake of the 1972 classic action film "The Mechanic." In this CBS Films release, Ben Foster (Russell Crowe's gun-slinging sidekick in "3:10 to Yuma") brings his particular brand of psychotic intensity to the role of a junior hit man, making it tailor-made for the young males who love this type of buddy action yarn. As with "King's," the R-rated film should be on target for a gross of about $10 million.
This presents yet another pileup situation for third, fourth and fifth positions. Last weekend's leader, "No Strings Attached" from Paramount, is likely to romance a second weekend gross in the $8 million to $10 million range, with similar expectations for Sony's "The Green Hornet," Paramount's Oscar-nominated "True Grit" and even awards darling "Black Swan" from Fox Searchlight.
Overall, the industry continues to pale to the year-ago marketplace, when "Avatar" was in first place for a seventh weekend, earning a staggering $31.3 million for the three-day frame.

vaikus commented on 2014-10-17 06:56
Having trouble starting fluxgui with the system. It kind of disapears from the XFCE panel after first setting it up and ticking the box so it would start with the system.
The .desktop file content looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=f.lux indicator applet
Hope it's solveable :)
markzz commented on 2014-10-08 04:00
Sorry for the delays (school and stuff), but I am still looking into it for desktops like KDE or other desktops other than GNOME (since I know it works with GNOME).
YAOMTC commented on 2014-10-05 23:21
Thanks! One more thing, after figuring out the gnome-settings-daemon.desktop issue I found that fluxgui still isn't autostarting. When I start KDE, I find /tmp/fluxgui_myname.pid exists again, which must mean it tried to start but failed. I'm guessing it's trying to start before gnome-settings-daemon can start, or finish starting?
markzz commented on 2014-10-05 22:57
gnome-settings-daemon is up to date in the 3.12 version. 3.14 will be released with the rest of GNOME 3.14. I am honestly a GNOME user (3.12) and have found that I have no issues. According to the issue on the git repository, it seems like something I can patch, so I'll get a test machine up to patch it and make the attempt to fix using your information. With the .desktop file, I'll add some information after the package is installed to fix that issue manually.
I suspect the reason the GNOME dependencies are there is because of the reason that this is based on the Ubuntu distribution and Unity was (or still is) based on gnome-shell.
YAOMTC commented on 2014-10-05 22:48
Scratch that, I can just run it as a regular user. My mistake. As for why it wasn't auto-running in KDE: /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop specifies "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;" so I commented that out.
As for why gnome-settings-daemon is required to be running for fluxgui, that's still a mystery to me.

I should clarify, I'm using KDE for my desktop. I found out that if I use dconf-editor to uncheck org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/cursor/active, and use kdesu instead of sudo to start gnome-settings-daemon, the cursor remains visible.
YAOMTC commented on 2014-10-05 19:56
I found the problem, I think. Found this:
So I installed gnome-settings-daemon, but couldn't find a way to run it. So I looked through the files and found an executable in /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon so I ran it but now my cursor is invisible. Anyway I then deleted /tmp/fluxgui_myname.pid and ran fluxgui again, and now it's working, but my cursor is still invisible and gnome-settings-daemon is still out of date:
and didn't autostart.
YAOMTC commented on 2014-10-02 02:49
I do have that installed, yes.
markzz commented on 2014-10-01 10:43
I do not have that error when launching this. Tell me, is lib32-glib2 installed? If not, try it and if it solves your problem, I'll add it as a dependency.
YAOMTC commented on 2014-10-01 06:13
I'm getting that error too when I try to launch it:
falmp commented on 2014-09-22 10:38
Alright, nevermind then. I'm using Manjaro and their packages are usually a bit late. From this thread on Chakra's forum, it seems to be a problem that will be solved eventually:

The error seems to be a missing /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.la. Which package provides that package on your system?
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.la
That file does not come with lib32-glib2:

Yes, I do:

Firelight commented on 2014-09-22 08:48
falmp, do you have lib32-glib2? It won't build without it.
falmp commented on 2014-09-21 10:35
markzz, just wanted to clarify that today I took the time to setup a new archlinux box (using a Vagrant image) and fluxgui installed fine. So I don't know what's up with my day to day archlinux installation, but it's indeed all good with your package. Thank you.
falmp commented on 2014-09-19 11:31
Alright, but I am up to date (pacman Suyy) and I do have base and base-devel installed. And I actually tried building it without packer:
The error is the same.
markzz commented on 2014-09-19 11:27
The link is the wiki's suggestions on what to do if a package won't build. They are good suggestions, and I would add trying to build it without packer.
It all builds fine with no errors on two computers.
falmp commented on 2014-09-19 11:08
markzz, not sure what you meant with the last link, but it seems to be an error with libappindicator. Can you confirm if it builds for you?
markzz commented on 2014-09-19 11:01
falmp commented on 2014-09-19 10:53
I guess there's still something off, but I think it's not fluxgui's fault. :(
markzz commented on 2014-09-19 10:46
Gotcha, updated PKGBUILD.
falmp commented on 2014-09-19 10:29
markzz, I still get this message:
Dependency `libappindicator' of `fluxgui' does not exist.
markzz commented on 2014-09-19 03:22
I have adopted and fixed it so that it will build and works on my computer. Please post if any more changes are needed.
falmp commented on 2014-09-17 09:35
Is it possible to disown this package so someone can adopt it and updated it? Right now it's not building.
rgoulter commented on 2014-08-24 04:55
Indeed, replacing libindicator with libindicator-gtk2, and libdbusmenu with libdbusmenu-glib fixed this for me, and were the only changes I needed to make.
hobarrera commented on 2014-06-17 07:10
@cemegginson: You probably need one of these: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libindicator-gtk3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libindicator-gtk2
cemegginson commented on 2014-06-17 05:54
It seems that libindicator was removed from the AUR so you can't build this package anymore.

I know what this is; this package provides two binaries, and only one of them requires ALL the dependencies; hence, they should be optdepends.

after running gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor and update-desktop-database -q it's ok.
I guess you need to include a fluxgui.install file that contains:
post_install() {
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/hicolor
update-desktop-database -q
post_upgrade() {
post_remove() {

I haven't it installed and fluxgui seems to work.
master commented on 2010-10-17 18:45
Please make it depend of python-gconf.
t3ddy commented on 2010-10-05 07:29
I hope to have done well what you suggested, anyway, do you want to maintain this pkgbuild?
ipha commented on 2010-10-05 05:30
Needs pyxdg as a dependency and it needs to be run on python2 now that python defaults to python 3.
t3ddy commented on 2010-09-29 14:04
As you can read here: http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/linux.html this version works only on ubuntu, so I've made a patch to make it run also on Arch.
Don't expect the patch to be well done, I know nothing about python, so if there's anyone interested in making a better patch, I'd be thankful.

I work in a development group with perhaps 120 developers, with smaller divisions within that. Our process is somewhere between waterfall and agile, more towards the former. We do NOT have our builds executing unit tests and there is only casual use of them in the various teams. Nothing resembling TDD happens here.
We've been going through Scrum training, and are trying to use agile methods for some projects, and move others towards agile in the future.
I've been concerned about our de-emphasis of automated unit tests for quite a while. During this Scrum/Agile training process, I've tried to make the point that the lack of automated unit tests in our builds could be a problem, even more so with agile processes, specifically using short iterations. The response to this from the "movers and shakers" is that this is an XP topic, and we're implementing Scrum.
Assuming you agree with my concerns, what arguments could I present to the people who pay the bills that the development of a good automated unit test infrastructure (and understanding) needs to have higher priority?

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Blocker
Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
Affects Version/s: 2.0.1
Fix Version/s: 2.1.0
Component/s: view-engine
Security Level: Public
1. 2.0.1, build 170 (but i saw the exact same behavior on 2.0 GA).
2. Run the game simulator workload on 3 nodes cluster - (http://loadgen.west.aws.couchbase.net:9980/)
3. create a player/leaderboard view
4. setup the following map (notice the javascript syntax error):
Leader board
function (doc, meta) {
if (doc.jsonType == "player" && doc.experience)
5. Save the view.
Server is crashing, UI disappears
cbcollect info file is attached.

it should be reproducible but Deep was unable to reproduce using the UI because it does not allow invalid map function.
from Deep,
Tried this on Linux(centos) for build 2.0.1-160-rel and 2.0.0-1976-rel.
If I create a view with below map function:
Leader board
function (doc, meta) {
if (doc.jsonType == "player" && doc.experience)
I get the below error on saving it:
"Syntax error in the map function of the view `v1': SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier"
I just have a default bucket on 4 nodes with 1000 json docs in it.
Tried with gamesim-sample bucket as well. Added a new view to it with above definition. Getting the "syntax error" message there as well.
Sharon, so the "Leader board" is part of the function? Is that the syntax error? Can you please tell us how you created the function? I also can't reproduce it, even through the HTTP you can't add invalid functions.
yes, it's part of the function, i.e. expecting a syntax error.
to be clear on the details,
i installed 3 nodes cluster via rightscale on EC2, run the load of the gamesimulator itself (not the sample bucket) and had ~400K documents.
i created this view while load was running. and then the node crashed.
doesn't the collect info show this crash clearly?
it happens to me all the time. i never saw this syntax error message on a cluster, i'll try it on my macbook later on.
Sharon, any news? Can you reproduce it on your MacBook? It could be a serious issue if it can be reproduced.
waiting for repro. Deep - pls repro then assign to one of the view engine team. thanks.
Unable to repro with build 2.0.2-764-rel and 2.0.1-170-rel. Tried on a 3 node cluster on Centos 64. With the load running, created the view with javascript error. It gives syntax error. No crash observed.
Tried creating the bad view with indexing/compaction/mutations running in parallel. Syntax error is always returned.
