.- Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput is among nine delegates, including New York Governor George Pataki, who have been asked to travel to Spain next week for an international conference on anti-Semitism.
The Archbishop will be part of a U.S. State Department delegation who will travel to the conference, sponsored by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, a coalition of 55 nations, including the United States, which focuses on problems of discrimination, oppression and religious intolerance.
The theme of the conference, which will be opened by Spain's King Juan Carlos, is "Anti-Semitism and other forms of intolerance."
Archbishop Chaput was invited onto the panel because of his membership in the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
Other U.S. panelists in the delegation will include, Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Ambassador Edward O'Donnell, the U.S. special envoy on Holocaust issues, and Kamal Nawash, president of the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism.

Playtime for Your Dog : Keep Him Busy Throughout the Day Hardback
by Christina Sondermann
Part of the pleasure of owning a dog is the mutual fun that results from the playing of games.
However these games also have a role in the development and well-being of our four-legged friends, not least of which is building up our dogs' self confidence and boosting our relationships.
With very little financial outlay and no previous experience any dog owner whether the dog be a puppy or an older animal can invent games using household objects.
The purpose of this book is to help you discover and employ games and activities on an everyday basis that both you and your dog will enjoy and that will contribute towards his fitness and training.
Amongst many other ideas, you will: marvel at the super-abilities of your dog's sense of smell; make his daily walks an exciting adventure; and find enough inspiration in your living room to exercise his basic play instincts.

For years the debates have raged about how to argue for the arts, and never more so than now, when public money for museums is everywhere drying up. As I wrote not long ago in the Art Newspaper, a thorny problem for arts advocates is that they have boxed themselves into a corner by developing instrumental arguments for the arts. According to the now widely-used reasoning, investments in the arts are supposed to yield tangible returns — tourism dollars, construction jobs, white collar citizens, booming maths scores, etc. — which, in turn, advance cities and their inhabitants in the global economy.
The trouble is that in the meantime the art community has lost sight of what in the first instance is important and intrinsically valuable about the arts. And as far as policy arguments go, funding cultural institutions to obtain the aforementioned outputs is a rather inefficient way of going about the business of improving education, competitiveness, and neighborhood health.
Now philosopher Alain de Botton has waded into this fertile rhetorical swamp by proposing a new twist on instrumentalism. Let museums be a means to and end, he argues in a polemic published on BBC's website. But let those ends be moral. Did anyone say moral?
Invoking the old chestnut about museums being our secular churches, de Botton argues: "I try to imagine what would happen if modern secular museums took the example of churches more seriously. What if they too decided that art had a specific purpose – to make us good and wise and kind – and tried to use the art in their collections to prompt us to be so?" He goes on to ask, "Why couldn't art be – as it was in religious eras – more explicitly for something?"
The philosopher has pointed out a valid contradiction. While arts advocates have willingly instrumentalized their cause when arguing for subsidies, they insist on a neutral, open, cause free definition of the contributions of artists and cultural institutions. But what would museums look like in the scenario suggested by de Botton?

So I bought my boat used from an auction hunter type guy who said he picked it up at a repo auction. It had Arizona stickers on it originally so I assume the original owners let it sit out side and bake in the AZ sun.
I have had some vinyl tears/breaks but this weekend took it to a whole new level gaining multiple be breaks in a number of different cushions. I 303 the seats everytime we take it out but I guess the damage was already done and there is no reversing it?? My seats are falling apart

Computing Solutions for Matching Games
A matching game is a cooperative game (N; v) defined on a graph G = (N;E) with an edge weighting w : E ! R+. The player set is N and the value of a coalition S N is de ned as the maximum weight of a matching in the subgraph induced by S. First we present an O(nm+n2 log n) algorithm that tests if the core of a matching game defined on a weighted graph with n vertices and m edges is nonempty and that computes a core member if the core is nonempty. This algorithm improves previous work based on the ellipsoid method and can also be used to compute stable solutions for instances of the stable roommates problem with payments. Second we show that the nucleolus of an n-player matching game with a nonempty core can be computed in O(n4) time. This generalizes the corresponding result of Solymosi and Raghavan for assignment games. Third we prove that is NP-hard to determine an imputation with minimum number of blocking pairs, even for matching games with unit edge weights, whereas the problem of determining an imputation with minimum total blocking value is shown to be polynomial-time solvable for general matching games.

Twins infielder Luke Hughes will return to Minnesota to have his right shoulder examined later this week after injuring himself on a recent collision at home plate during the Australian winter league semifinals.
Hughes, 27, hit seven home runs in 96 games for the Twins last season and is expected to fight for a utility spot again during spring training. He batted .344 in 19 games this winter for his hometown team, the Perth Heat, but hasn't played since his collision against Melbourne.
"He had an MRI in Australia," Twins General Manager Terry Ryan said. "We're going to bring him in here, probably Thursday or Friday, to make sure everything's in order. He'll go right to Fort Myers [Fla.] for spring training."
Ryan called the injury a strained shoulder.
"If he was 100 percent, we wouldn't shut him down," Ryan said. "But the collision is such that we need to make sure Luke's able to proceed without any complications."Liriano update
Lefthander Francisco Liriano completed an up-and-down winter ball season with five shutout innings Sunday for the Dominican Republic in a 2-0 victory over Mexico in the Caribbean Series.
Liriano went 1-4 with a 5.49 ERA in seven winter ball starts, giving up 25 hits and 11 walks with 21 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings. On Sunday, he let five runners reach base the first two innings but kept getting ground balls to escape the jams. He recorded eight groundouts and no flyouts.
"You won't ever hear me complain if a guy has a bad winter statistically, and you're never going to hear me brag much about a guy who has a good winter statistically," Ryan said. "All I care is that they're playing if they need the at-bats or innings. [Liriano's] right about where he needs to be."

" Brand: Playmobil / Model: 7492 "
* Prices may differ from that shown
The is another fabulous set from playmobil, as I've said before I like a set which is value for money!
This set comes with the ice cream stall connected to a bike with an umbrella, it has a space for the four different flavour ice creams with a clear lift up lid, there is an ice cream scoop, two ice cream cones one chocolate and one strawberry, two children and also an ice cream seller complete with hat and apron. There are stickers to stick on the sides with the types of ice cream.
I like this set because it's well made as with all playmobil, I love the fact the characters can hold their ice creams and the scoop, the ice cream seller can also sit on the bike and take his ice creams around the playmobil world!
We also have the ice cream parlour and this compliments it very well, the ice cream seller can go back to fill up and also there are another two ice creams with that so we have a few to go all round now!
My only down to note is that the umbrella is not all that secure in the bike so if there happens to be a calamity on route which there often is then it falls out but it certainly doesn't stop play and we still love this set very much.
The ice cream sellers hat and apron do come off so if you wish for someone else to have a go at selling ice creams!
This is about £15 on ebay, I can't see it on any other sites so I'm now not sure if it's been discontinued. We only bought it new last year so I'm not sure.

Football and Judicial Politics
My colleague Joanna Shepherd and I are working on a project analyzing judicial voting on election law cases in state court. Although there is a sophisticated literature about judicial politics and political influences on judges, there actually is little quantitative work looking at political influences on judges in explicitly political cases, such as election contests, redistricting, and ballot access questions. Thinking generally about judicial politics for this project gives me a different perspective on the state court review of the NFL suspensions of two players from the Minnesota Vikings.
Last September, the NFL suspended Kevin Williams and Pat Williams of the Minnesota Vikings for four games each after they failed drug tests. The two star defensive tackles, who together comprise Minnesota's "Williams Wall," tested positive for bumetanide, a prescription diuretic banned under the NFL collective bargaining agreement as a masking agent for steroids. After exhausting the appeals process with the NFL, the two Williams' and the NFL Players Association challenged the suspensions in Minnesota state court.
Here's the judicial politics angle: The Minnesota district court that heard the Williams' claims issued a temporary restraining order last December immediately after the Williams' final internal appeals with the NFL were rejected. The TRO postponed any suspension until the end of the 2008 season, which kept both Williams' on the field and helped ensure Minnesota a playoff spot last year. The NFL removed the case to federal court, which then dismissed all but two state law claims and remanded those two claims back to state court. This summer, on remand, the Minnesota district court issued another TRO, blocking the NFL from enforcing its suspensions of the Williams' until after the upcoming 2009 season. I don't know enough about Minnesota labor law, the NFL collective bargaining agreement, or the relevant preemption issues to assess the state court TROs that helped both Williams' postpone their suspensions for almost two full seasons, but one commentator who considered these issues noted that even the issuing judge expressed doubts about the likelihood that the Williams' claims would prevail on the merits, and at least one Vikings blogger suspected a home-court advantage for the Williams' on their legal claims.
Of course, I have no real idea whether the Minnesota judge in this case was consciously or subconsciously affected by the possible political consequences of denying the TROs. I have little reason to doubt the integrity of this judge in particular, who I assume has nothing but the best intentions. But it might be reasonable to wonder whether a state judge in his position, who must run for re-election to keep his job, could be influenced by the prospect of hometown football fans unhappy that a judge has effectively sidelined their star players for a quarter of a season. My colleague Joanna Shepherd concludes from her research that state judges are routinely re-elected unless they risk doing something controversial and attract negative publicity. Whether or not this particular judge was consciously affected by the possibility, there's no doubt that denying the latest TRO and putting Kevin and Pat Williams on the sideline for the beginning of the season, right after the Vikings stirred up fan excitement by signing Brett Favre as their new quarterback, would've attracted lots of negative attention. If nothing else, this case offers fed courts professors a very salient example for discussing the risk of a home-court advantage in state court and a foreign defendant's interest in removal to federal court.
Thinking along the same lines, Gregg Easterbrook, an astute NFL commentator (and brother of Frank), suggested that former NFL wide receiver Plaxico Burress might have fared better in his recent gun possession case, if he had rallied local football support to his side by re-signing with the New York Giants immediately before trial. As Easterbrook put it, "Had Burress remained a Giant, he would have had the most popular organization between Washington and Boston in his corner, and it's simply human nature that prosecutors and judges might have looked sympathetically upon his case." Instead, Burress received two years in prison for violating New York's gun permit law. Football matters intensely to many people, which surely has political consequences. One study finds that public universities with Division I-A football programs receive about six percent more in state appropriations than public universities without football programs, and for those football universities, a victory over an in-state rival is correlated with an additional increase in appropriations the following year. Maybe football shouldn't matter so much to courts and legislatures, but it seems that sometimes it really does.

In IC, I really want to fix myself. I am horrified with the person I was leading up to and during my A. The hour in IC slips by so quickly that I have lots of questions I want to ask, that I just haven't got to yet. I guess I'll be in IC for a while.
One question that I haven't gotten to on my list is that I told the AP that I loved her. I think that I was being honest -- i.e., I wasn't just saying what she wanted to hear. Even before our A, we were close.
Since DDay, I have had no problem leaving the AP behind. I'm not wondering about what the A provided me. I want to know what was happening in me that I could feel that way about the AP. Or any insights on what I was feeling. I know that I was thinking wrongly about so much during that time. I want to unravel every bit of it.
I asked myself questions like, "If I don't love her, then why don't I stop seeing her?" or, "Why do I feel like I need to be in constant contact with her or near her if I don't love her?"
So far, I have figured out that part of the reason I said it, was to give myself permission to continue in the affair without acknowledging the wrongs that I was committing against my wife. For me, it is a lot more complicated then that. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you are able to figure out your reasons.
If you are like my H, he was having powerful feelings that he couldn't explain. He also didn't think he was a person capable of "just an affair," or of using someone to fluff up his aging, suffering ego. So, he reasoned, it must be love, right? (he then, offensively and inaccurately, thought she was "like" me, which was supposedly evidence that she was lovable. Twisted, right?)
Many books refer to the affair as a mirror - the APs reflect back what the waywards so desperately want to see. It is like Narcissus - they fall in love with their own reflection of all they thought they were missing. And it feels awesome! Must be love, right? You probably also didn't want to give up the "high," so you believed what you needed to to fuel the addiction.
But, like you describe, once the bright light of day hits it, it usually vaporizes fairly quickly.

What did the A provide for me? Validation, temporary self-esteem boost, attention. A band-aid for my gaping wound.
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - J. Wayne
Even if she had said she loved him, it would not be a deal breaker for me. I know a lot of the reasons why my wife ended up having the affair (yes, she made the 100% of the decision to cheat but that option seemed like a good idea due to the state of our marriage and I had a big part in creating that state), therefore, it is easier for me to forgive her.
Her's was an OEA with one main person with a lot of other stuff mixed in with others but she never slept with anyone so maybe my experience is different from yours Bdell.
I am really curious as to the reactions of your BS's to knowing that you told the AP that you "loved" him/her.
[This message edited by Aubrie at 11:42 AM, January 17th (Friday)]
I told the AP that I loved her when I was deep in the fog.
Our relationship started out with infatuation and I would not trade those memories for anything in the world. I will not downplay the way it was for my H and I 19 years ago when we first stated dating.
When people talk of fog, I often think about one of my first serious boyfriends. I was infatuatued and certainly believed I was in love with him (therefore I was in love with him by my own definition). We were both single at the time (I was only 18) but the guy was a total ass and I could see that clearly within a few weeks after he dumped me. I could NEVER fall for someone remotely like him again! So was it real love or was I in some fog? I think it is silly to call it fog. Life is a journey and sometimes we grow and change our minds and our feelings about things and people change, for a large variety of reasons.
It is almost embarassing to admit I once loved that jerk, but the truth is I did. That is how I see it.
I read where for others it would be a deal breaker if your WS said "ILY" to the AP. I can understand that but my H admits he said it and we are still together. I will say that was the MOST hurtful thing for me to deal with. I guess the plus side for me is the fact that he admitted he did say this to her when he could have lied to me about it, gave validity to most everything else he told me. It was like my own personal little lie detector test. The fact he told the truth about this went a long way with me. He also did NOT have sex with her. For me, I believe saying ILY was closer to the deal breaker mark than having sex would have been, if one could choose the lesser of two evils (I know in plenty of cases there are both ILYs and sex).
[This message edited by Bobbi_sue at 11:58 AM, January 17th (Friday)]
My BS and her AP did say it to each, how often I don't know and I'm affraid to ask honestly. For me this hurts and is a major sticking point for as I feel like it sealed the deal and she truly did give her heart away to somebody else.
Let me make myself clear though, just because I didn't and she did, does not make what I did any less devistating to her, or any better at all.
I reserve my right to feel uncomfortable reserve my right to be afraid.
I make mistakes and I am humbled every step of the way.
For my AP, my "love" was currency. For every action, was an expectation of a response. I did A to get B. It was all about what Iiiii could get out of the deal.
For my H, I show my love and affection with no expectations. If he reciprocates, fine. If not, fine. I don't expect him to give me a backrub because I left a love note on his dash. I don't expect gifts in exchange for giving him oral. I say and show him I love him because quite simply....I do. Its hard to explain. I don't attempt to manipulate the situation or the outcome. Does that make any sense?
Gah, can't spell today!
Aubrie, you explained it perfectly. That was exactly how he saw it. With us, there isn't any of that. Never has been. But with MOW, she wanted that in lurv fantasy, she wanted to be head over heels. So he gave that to her. He paid for her services by telling her ILY. She paid for his with sex.
Please ask your questions on the BS Questions for WS's thread in the ICR forum to avoid t/jing this thread.
While you may not believe in the fog, this is hardly the forum to dismiss what WS's are experiencing and working through. And since you aren't WS, you really don't have any experience with foggy thinking and the dynamics behind it.

Somethingremorse, even though my husband knew he didn't actually love his AP, it took a lot of therapy to start unraveling the "why's". It's over 2 years out, and he still goes on a regular basis. He always will. So keep up with it, and you will find your why's. You're making a great start. Good luck

We may have a worthwhile discussion tonight.
AP#2 his reasons were, he said it because she said it and wanted him to say it. She kept expecting him to. He did it because it was what she wanted to hear, and it kept her readily available for sex. He had no emotional attachment to her, he did not love her.
AP#3 he was becoming emotionally attached to when I found out about it. She said it first and he reciprocated. He has said that though he there were emotions involved, it was based in fantasy and infatuation. He did not truly love her. He loved the feeling of the chase. As soon as he'd slept with her, he probably would have detached emotionally.
It crushed me to know he felt and meant it at the time, even while foggy, that he had "love" feelings towards AP#3. However, I do know it was nothing compared to our love, the reality based love.

Point Austin: The Sporting Scene
It's just a Hail Mary pass from Memorial Stadium to Formula One
By Michael King, Fri., June 18, 2010
So in fashion terms, I guess it's just as well that on Tuesday, the remaining members of the Big 12 Minus 2 announced they have come to a mutual understanding and will be keeping the athletic conference together for the present, rather than having a half-dozen members, led by the mighty Longhorns, bolt westward in a new gold rush. "This is a long-term, unequivocal commitment," UT-Austin President Bill Powers said in a press conference. "We believe this decision is based in the best interest of our student-athletes, coaches, and university constituencies. We are pleased to continue the traditions we have developed with our partners in the Big 12."
A bit later, "long-term" became, from Athletics Director DeLoss Dodds, "five years, 10 years" – so we'll soon see just how unequivocal a deal will remain among these notorious wheeler-dealers. The collective tempers and wanderlust were reportedly soothed by the prospect of splitting the exit fees of Colorado (already headed to the Pac-10) and Nebraska (Big 10 Plus 2), as well as pending television contracts that would also allow the schools their own networks – All-Longhorn or All-Aggie or All-Sooner, all the time. According to this week's mostly unsourced and unreliable reports, what with exit fees and prospective TV deals, UT – with an athletic budget already at $130 million – stands to collect an additional $20 million to $25 million a year, which it will no doubt use to help rehire all those laid-off lecturers in Spanish and Italian.
What could be better?
Do As We Say
Despite my sardonic sniping, as a reasonably rabid sports fan – at the moment simultaneously and fruitlessly tracking the NBA finals, the White Sox's annually frittering hopes, and the World Cup – I can't claim much ideological purity as an independent commentator on the business of sports. And that's what we're talking about: business – despite all the reflexive genuflection to public education and "student-athletes," many of whom, now with additional reason, are undoubtedly wondering, "What's in it for me?"
University athletics is state capitalism on a grand scale, as the athletes gamble their bodies and skilled labor (at cost) and the public education system provides state-sponsored minor leagues to massive private-profit enterprises – both the professional leagues and the broadcasting networks that massively underwrite them all. It is what it is – I understand that neither the NFL nor ESPN is about to start assuming the considerable public investments necessary for sustaining their development league, aka the NCAA. What's tiresome and deceptive is the endless hypocritical rhetoric and one-sided enforcement of the ennobling virtues of "amateur athletics." Coaches, administrators, and universities aggressively seek the highest bidders – but let a "student-athlete" do the same, and all hell breaks loose: disqualification, public humiliation, economic sanctions.
Can anybody here say "monopoly"?
Off to the Races
Which brings me, by devious indirection, to the city of Austin's latest flirtation with big-time international sports, the proposed Formula One racetrack. Although born and bred a Hoosier, I've never developed any particular affection for the relentless droning of automobile engines, next to which the bleating of a million vuvuzelas sounds like the music of the spheres. But I don't begrudge other folks their entertainments, and I find the early environmental objections to the project unpersuasive (they'll burn a lot of gas, like the rest of Texas) and the "cultural" ones – when "not Austin culture" means "things I don't like to do" – laughable.
That said, it's not at all clear that we're not about to buy a pig in a poke, a suspicion made more tangible by the official refusal to release much of any information concerning either the initial negotiations (which reportedly took place through the offices of state Comptroller Susan Combs and state Sen. Kirk Watson, and perhaps the governor) or whatever concrete plans must exist to actually get the thing done. We'll be given the usual excuses for secrecy: proprietary information and protection against unfair competition, when the real issue (once again) is investing public dollars and infrastructure in what amounts to a private (and even foreign) monopoly.
We're already hearing the somewhat credible argument that the public investment will be returned manifold in city and state taxes. Yet as the man said to Madoff, if it's such a great deal, why are the details secret? Just like "amateur athletics," the weasel words "free enterprise" are supposed to explain and defend everything, most specifically when the public is assuming the external and indirect costs for a massive profit that will be overwhelmingly privatized.
Beyond those introductory questions, it's worth asking whether Austin is increasingly in danger of creating a tourism-based economy, with all the cyclical risks of that strategy and, more dangerously, the two-tiered class structure that comes with it. Will we find ourselves depending for our incomes on visiting businessmen and tourists, while expanding a growing underclass of service labor – underpaid, undereducated, and without the resources for a sustainable quality of life, or even affordable housing? That debilitating trend would of course put even more strain on the same public resources supposedly funded by the sales taxes dropping from the tables of the race-car, music, and football tourists.
I hope somebody with a hand in all these secret negotiations is asking at least some of these questions, although in my experience, when economic boosterism is the boardroom subject, such homeboy impertinence is considered very bad form. If that's the case here, we should expect to hear a whole lot about long-term and unequivocal commitments and very little about who gets left holding the bag when the deal goes down.

Two candidates are competing to represent Elyria's 7th Ward.
What are the biggest issues facing the city?
Sinegar: A lack of good-paying jobs that would create tax revenue and stop the administration from constantly asking citizens to pay higher taxes. Bringing our safety forces up to full strength. A City Council that rubber stamps everything the mayor wants, instead of being a "checks and balance system'' on him.
McHugh: The loss of tax revenue, obviously, is the biggest single issue that needs to be addressed. The loss of businesses and jobs in the city has led to dramatic cuts to our police and fire departments, which we must work hard to restore to full strength. Also, tax losses have left the Parks and Recreation Department — which greatly enhanced the city's quality of life and value to outsiders looking to move to Lorain County — in disarray.
How do you plan to address them?
Sinegar: By aggressively going after companies and encouraging them to locate here, by having less-stringent design review guidelines. An increased tax base created by new jobs would help. Finding and eliminating the "extra" non-essential positions. Safety services should be our first priority and the last ones to be laid off. By looking at all issues objectively, while keeping the best interests of the citizens in mind, rather than voting the party line.
McHugh: The city has to work harder to re-examine the way Council and the administration handle the programs and projects that are going on now. In the future, there needs to be better communication with all taxpayers and city employees. Communication is the key. In addition, it is time to do a marketing campaign to promote business and technology jobs in the city and use the recent announcement of the BASF battery plant to be established here as a catalyst for growth. We should work with the Lorain County Growth Partnership as well as go after federal and state funds to promote a better image for Elyria.
What makes you best suited for the job?
Sinegar: I have lived in Ward 7 for more than 25 years. I have been walking the ward for the last five years talking to the residents about their concerns. I have attended Council meetings faithfully for the last five years, and I feel I have a good understanding of the issues this city faces. I have no family members working for the city, so I will be able to look at and vote on all issues objectively.
McHugh: I know what Elyria residents want because I have been one since I reached adulthood. I raised my family here, and I want young families to see Elyria as their future, too. I am an upbeat and positive person, I am a leader and I will listen. I will do what is best for the 7th Ward and for all the taxpayers in the city. They want what they deserve: a police force that can help, a fire department that can respond, better streets, sewers that are maintained, their leaves picked up and their snow removed from their streets. I will see that these things get done and get done right.
Jerry McHugh
Age: 58
Party: Democrat
Education: Attended Holy Cross School; graduate of Elyria Catholic High School; Cleveland Metro Ranger Academy; Ohio Peace Officer training; traffic and road signs training
Family: Wife, Mary, and children Michelle, Scott and Jennifer

Ed Sinegar
Age: 56
Party: Independent
Education: Graduate of Elyria High School

Job history: Service manager at Production Service Co. from 1987 to the present

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka launched an unprecedented security operation for the World Twenty20 with the players also under intense surveillance over match-fixing fears.
Bodyguards from the Ministerial Security Division (MSD) and commandos of the elite Special Task Force have been deployed to guard players in a drill usually reserved for visiting heads of state, said officials. Camillus Abeygunawardena, the top security officer for the tournament, said it was the biggest operation for a sporting event emerging from nearly four decades of ethnic bloodshed.
"We had this level of security at last year's World Cup, but this time we have more teams and the scale of the operation is a lot bigger," said Abeygunawardena. The authorities have also unveiled an undercover operation to ensure there was no corruption by players themselves after international cricket was rocked by match-fixing revelations last year.
"Local and international detectives have checked into hotels where the players are staying," said a top security official. "We are keeping a close watch on the players and their visitors."
Abeygunawardena said tight security would be maintained throughout the tournament and until every player had left safely.
"Matches like the ones between India and Pakistan would attract more crowds and naturally we will have more security for those games."

Also I was meeting travelers for a coffee/juice or dinner having deep talks, funny parties, cool cooking sessions.
I've never been a surfer but just it's matter of time!
Everything interests me. Even tiniest and silly thing could be interesting.
If I could I would like to work in every job, project or idea around the whole globe. So everytime someone needs help I see an opportunity to learn something new.
I really love to learn new things or bring my expertise. So if someday you need help in whatever you are involve just tell me I'm gonna be so glad to help you out.

There is a huge number of amazing thing that I've seen but also read. It's impossible to choose because I know I'm also missing a lot...
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm always open to learn whatever people could/wanted teach me. I really love acquire new knowledge in whatever material is.
I barely know to do a couple of things but I'm always open to share my knowledge. Or at least tell what troubles I found and how I tried to fix it.

text: Since chararray doesn't currently have any tests, I'm writing some, and I ran across a couple of things that didn't make sense to me: 1. The code for __mul__ is exactly the same as that for __rmul__; is there any reason __rmul__ shouldn't just call __mul__? 1.5. __radd__ seems like it doesn't do anything fundamentally different from __add__, is there a reason to have a separate implementation of __radd__? 2. The behavior of __mul__ seems odd: >>> Q=np.chararray((2,2),itemsize=1,buffer='abcd') >>> Q chararray([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']], dtype='|S1') >>> Q*3 chararray([['aaa', 'bbb'], ['ccc', 'ddd']], dtype='|S4') >>> Q*4 chararray([['aaaa', 'bbbb'], ['cccc', 'dddd']], dtype='|S4') >>> Q*5 chararray([['aaaa', 'bbbb'], ['cccc', 'dddd']], dtype='|S4') Is it supposed to work this way?

Was giving me "1 message" (battery fair) when I was using battery energy star that kept it at 100%
Recent advice says use "best battery health" which alows battery to drift down to 45%.
as soon as it hit 45%, I get the 5888 messages when mouseover the LSC BIG icon.
battery still says fair.
Is there any sense to all this?

When I went out on July 25, I didn't plan on getting in an accident. My husband and I were driving home, talking about our plans of going to Europe when the car next to us swerved into our lane. We t-boned them, causing their car to spin around ours, slam us in the side and then continue its circle into our rear, before coming to a stop in an electric pole that fell to the ground.
The police officer at the scene informed us that both people in the other car had been drinking. The passenger, much more intoxicated than the driver, had grabbed the steering wheel in the middle of an argument. The passenger was charged with reckless driving.
For the next two weeks we went back and forth with three insurance companies and got so frustrated we considered contacting an attorney. Finally, the passenger's company gave in and offered us a settlement. Although we were unhappy with the amount we accepted it, figuring it was the best we were going to get. Our settlement for damages was just a little over $2,800 and included a daily inconvenience fee for each day we were without a car. The money we got was not enough to get another vehicle so we have been trying to deal with the daily struggles of only having one. The settlement didn't reimburse us for the money we lost missing work.
The costs we incurred were minimal compared to what many people have to deal with. We are also very fortunate to have made it out without any broken bones and there were no fatalities. In 2007 nearly 13,000 people died in drunken driving accidents according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). This number accounts for 30 percent of all traffic related deaths that year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that about three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some point in their lives. In 2006, more than 1.4 million drivers were arrested for DUI.
The True Cost of a DUI
If you get caught drunk driving you can expect your life to change. If you hurt or kill someone the emotional damage could be devastating and you could end up spending your life in jail. Even if you're lucky and no one gets hurt, getting a DUI is not just about getting arrested or points on your license. It's also very, very costly—in both time and money. Alcohol related crashes cost about $51 billion every year. In a June 2006 survey by the Texas Department of Transportation, the total cost of a DWI arrest and conviction for a first time offender (with no accident) range from $9,000 to $24,000. Some states, like Arizona, bill you for your own jail time. In Phoenix, jail time runs $165 for the first day and $60 for every day after. In many states if there is a child younger than 15 in the car you can face an additional $10,000 in fines, plus 180 days to two years in jail. Any property damage will add even more to your total cost.
Going to jail means time away from work or potentially losing your job. Some companies may fire you because their own insurance company won't allow you to work for them. You may not be eligible for any job that requires a special license or that involves driving. Some countries, such as Canada, may deny you access.
The bottom line? Drinking and driving is never worth it. So the next time you have a drink and are about to get behind the wheel think of this price tag and think again.
Costs of a DUI*
DUI School $100 – $400
Ignition Interlock (a portable breathalyzer) around $200 to install and $80 per month
Attorney – $1500 to $15000
Civil court – if you get taken to civil court you'll have to pay for those lawyer fees if found guilty in a civil suit it could bankrupt you
Fines & court fees – $515 to $8125
Electronic home monitoring $150 to $2,250
Time Lost from Work for Court, Programs and Community Service $ 750 to $10,000
License Reinstatement Fee $ 150
Ignition Interlock $ 730 to $ 2,800 or more/
Alcohol Treatment $ 1,500 to $ 20,000
Insurance $ 1,800 to $3,000 additional premium over three years
Towing charges $50 to $250
Total $7145 to $61,425
*This doesn't even take into consideration the cost of bail or costs of alternate transportation.
Other consequences
You might not be able to rent a car
Your health insurance might go up & you might not be able to get life insurance
Some countries, such as Canada may deny you access
The DUI school can last from 12 to 30 hours. You may have to serve anywhere from 20 to 100 hours of community service.

Alaska - (Ass Mess): Aftershocks are still reverberating among Corrupt Bastards Club Alaskans one of whom, Bruce Weyhrauch, took a slippery tumble off his boat last week in dubious circumstances.
The Club members' scalps are rumored to be next as big oil graft and kickbacks investigations center around Justice Department cover-ups perpetrated by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
A patchwork of clues has consistently revealed its ugly head during consecutive investigations by awesome Special Procesutor Patrick Fitzgerald who recently nailed Scooter Libby as one big liar in a perjury trial about the outing of a CIA officer whose husband called out the Niger yellowcake fantasy of the Bush Administration.
Fitzie has remained enigmatic and Sphynxlike throughout his career as the odds on the Corrupt Bastards Club survival have slid towards extinction.
Weyhrauch's tumble last week prompted a quick review of FBI files connected to last year's Labor Day weekend bust of the Bastards and a re-evaluiation of his personal relationship with Gonzales, Cheney and George W Bush.
Meanwhile at a local level Weyhrauch's embarrasing moment is being probed by police who have noted his vehement denial of being DUI at the time or being involved in a confrontation with marauding Iranians, assorted pirates or VECO kickback paymasters.
Just one question remains in the Juneau Police Department chief's file: why was Weyhrauch wearing a bulletproof vest under his lifejacket? And was the extra warmth that it provided him during his 24 hour ordeal what actually kept him alive in those freezing conditions that otherwise would have despatched him to the otherside of kickback heaven?
Further developments in this story are expected next week.

Review for The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon, Portland, OR, USA
From what I've seen, the FCC of Oregon is a first-class organization. I had several strays and ferals in my neighborhood. When I chose to become their caregiver, FCC was there to help with low-cost surgery and vaccinations so these cats could be healthy and happy in a well-populated neighborhood. I was happy with their services and all the people I met who provided the services. Well done!

Deep lows, complex depressions, furious, unrelenting wind?
The weather forecast over the last couple of weeks bore an uncanny resemblance to the emotions and motions of the golf writers during the winter shutdown as we try desperately to winkle out column ideas from the dark recesses of the mind.
Peering out of the window for inspiration doesn't help, of course. Throwing back the curtains each morning, to be greeted by a whopping great wall of grey wretchedness, is akin to waking up in Colditz. Outside, the streets are sodden and a hunched, girning population trudge around in the gales, battling hopelessly with tangled brollies like Mary Poppins in the midst of a panic-stricken crash-landing. In this overwhelming gloom, something always crops up to divert the attentions away from the meteorological misery.
Loading article content
The other week in the US of A, one of those largely pointless pieces reared its head on CBS Sports, listing, in the author's eyes at least, the 10 worst major winners of all time. Inevitably, given the general ignorance that tends to cloud golfing opinion on the other side of the Atlantic, our own Paul Lawrie - or "Paul Lowry" as they often blurt over there - was included at No.3 on this infuriating index.
"He has never won in America and hasn't been all that successful elsewhere," drones the article with all the laziness of a sloth with an underactive thyroid, as the scribbler conveniently ignores Lawrie's five European Tour wins and brace of Ryder Cup appearances in the years since his 1999 Open Championship conquest at Carnoustie. During that period, Lawrie has got used to the belittling of his greatest triumph as commentators focus on Jean Van de Velde's final-hole French farce instead of the Aberdonian's nerveless, majestic display in the dourness of that astonishing Angus night.
There have been more cheap shots than in a Mexican tequila bar during happy hour but Lawrie, who turned 45 on New Year's Day, is long enough in the tooth and thick enough in the skin not to let these tired twitterings wind him up. Among his ain' folk, at least, the decorated Scot will always be respected.
During the Christmas period, Brian Mair, reflecting on his first season as secretary of the Scottish PGA, expressed his admiration for Lawrie and the largely unheralded work he does for the Tartan Tour. The player's own Invitational contest, a 54-holer with a purse of £35,000, is developing into one of the key tournaments on the Tartan Tour calendar and provides the entrants, particularly the up-and-coming assistants, with an event resembling tournament golf, as opposed to the one-day Pro-Ams that form the basis of the domestic circuit.
"When I started out on the Tartan Tour, we had eight or nine 72-hole events and now there are only two [the Gleneagles Scottish PGA Championship and the Northern Open]," noted Lawrie
On the women's front, Lawrie and his eager associates who have the clout and commitment to make things happen, continue to back the Ladies' Tartan Tour - the new name for the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Scottish Ladies Open Tour - which provides a vital playing platform on home soil for both amateurs and young professionals in the transition zone.
Throw in the long-standing Paul Lawrie Foundation, a support network which goes from strength to strength, and you have the kind of tireless, behind-the-scenes work and give-something-back attitude that snide, ill-informed observers would simply never appreciate.
Lawrie, who served his apprenticeship as an assistant at Banchory back in the day and came through the ranks to become a major champion, typifies all that is good about the PGA professional. It's no wonder that Mair is delighted to have such an enthusiastic and powerful figure on board as he tries to bolster the Tartan Tour.
Mair's ultimate ambition is to produce another Paul Lawrie. Admittedly, you've probably got more chance of sticking your hands into a haystack and emerging with a fistful of needles given the magnitude of Lawrie's successes, but the PGA route can still unearth the talent.
In a golfing world of high-tech nurturing, where leading amateurs are mollycoddled through their formative years, the strides made in 2013 by the likes of Craig Lee and Chris Doak proved you don't need the red carpet treatment. A solid competitive grounding, a strong work ethic and a belief to clamber up the ladder has helped Lee and Doak - both PGA professionals who were Tartan Tour regulars not so long ago - establish themselves on the main European Tour.
Meanwhile, the likes of Lloyd Saltman, Michael Stewart and James Byrne - all are members of a high-profile new wave who were robustly championed - continue to struggle in the professional foothills.
Whatever the background of Scotland's golfers, though, the redoubtable Lawrie remains an inspirational figure. Those who cobble together absurd, mocking lists would do well to recognise it.

MARC Richards rescued a point for Chesterfield in a largely frustrating game to extend their unbeaten run in the league.
The Spireites went into the game full of confidence having beaten high-flying Port Vale 2-0 the previous Saturday and started brightly in front of a bumper home crowd against Burton.
But failure to make the most of their dominance proved costly as the visitors, who sit just one place above the Spireites in the table, took the lead just after the half-hour mark through Jacques Maghoma.
Chesterfield had more fight about them in the second half and could have been out of sight before Richards' equaliser 15 minutes from time.
The draw leaves Paul Cook's men two points outside the play-offs ahead of Friday's trip to Southend.
The manager was forced into a late change when Luis Boa Morte pulled up during the warm up, otherwise it was the same team that impressed so well at Port Vale last week.
Brennan Dickenson, who has extended his stay with the Spireites until January 5, replaced the Portuguese winger with Scott Boden being named on the bench.
Brewers' top scorer Calvin Zola lined up on his own up front with Billy Kee dropping to the bench as Gary Rowet continued to prefer a 4-5-1 formation away from home.
The home side echoed their Cook's shouts to press early on but it was evident the Brewers were keen to break up play with needless time wasting from the off.
Liam Cooper came close with a header before Richards cut in from the left and unleashed a powerful effort which was seen late by Brewers' keeper Dean Lyness, who reacted well to palm the ball out.
Cooper's aerial threat was again on show when the young centre-half rose highest at the far post, but his downward header bounced over the crossbar from Mark Randall's corner.
Randall then saw his deep in-swinging free-kick flash wide of Lyness' left hand post after the keeper had misjudged his dangerous cross from the left.
The visitors then came closest to opening the scoring when Lee Bell's 25-yard free kick smacked the woodwork and bounced out.
Burton had shown very little coming forward up to that point and soon found themselves in the lead through Maghoma on 34 minutes.
The winger latched on to Zola's flick and slotted the ball under Tommy Lee, who had largely been a spectator for the first half an hour.
Chesterfield came back and hit the post themselves when O'Shea's tame volley from Randall's corner was redirected by Richards and hit the post before it was scrambled clear.
Richards then blazed a header over the bar from 12 yards as the hosts went into the break one down.
Maghoma then had a goal chalked off for offside after he reacted first to Lee's outstanding save from Zola's point blank header early in the second half.
Darikwa's curling effort then looked destined for the far corner before it took a deflection and looped wide of the angle with Lyness scrambling.
Randall then curled a delightful free-kick which hit the inside of the post a yard from the angle of the 18-yard box as Chesterfield looked to pull level.
The home side would be forgiven for feeling it just was going to be one of those days when Richards saw his header come back off the post from six yards out.
But, in almost a carbon copy, the front man found his luck had changed when he saw his well-placed header bounce just inside the far post to level the scores.
Chesterfield could smell blood and went in search of the goal that would all but certainly decide the game.
O'Shea and Richards combined well before the Irishman slithered free from two defenders, but his shot was deflected over as the game drew to a close.
Lester was then shown a straight red card for wrestling Burton skipper Zander Diamond to the floor in injury time to bring the contest to an unsavoury end.

TWO of Leeds' independent schools are to merge, to create an independent mixed senior school where boys and girls will be taught in separate classrooms.
Leeds Girls' High School and boys-only Leeds Grammar School have drawn up "unusual" plans to create a merged senior school with single-sex classrooms, but in a mixed-sex environment.
Last night the schools denied the plan was a cost-cutting measure, but admitted a predicted future shortfall in pupils had affected the timing of their decision.
Girls' school headmistress Sue Fishburn told the Yorkshire Post: "This is not an exercise in downsizing or cost-cutting, and we don't envisage any involuntary redundancies".
Both schools said their current pupil intake was "buoyant", and academic results were excellent.
Under the proposals, the senior school, for 11- to 16-year-olds, will be at the grammar school site at Alwoodley Gates, Alwoodley.
The building complex is relatively new and purpose-built. Around 400 sixth-formers would be taught in mixed classes there.
Junior pupils, aged from three to 11 will be taught at the current girls' school site on Headingley Lane. There would be a pre-prep school for 350 and a prep school for 450.
The merger plans have been unanimously backed by governors from both schools and headteachers.
Parents, who were told of the plans yesterday, are also believed to be generally supportive.
Liz Dallas, who has two boys at Leeds Grammar , said the plans were an "extremely good idea", especially for boys, who would benefit from the "civilising influence" of girls.
Barbara Hodkinson, who has children at the girls' school, said the merger was "perfect" because single-sex classrooms worked well, but it was important for the sexes to mix before they reached 18.
But other parents said they preferred strictly single-sex establishments.
In a statement the schools said the merger was proposed for 2007, and would create one of the country's flagship independent schools.
It would also create a sixth-form with a wider range of courses and better provision for specialism.
The statement said the merger would ensure the school success in a "shrinking and increasingly competitive market".
The new school would "combine the social benefits of co-education with the academic benefits of single-sex teaching in the formative adolescent years".
Governors said they did not expect any significant merger costs, although existing buildings at both sites would be adapted.
"A considerable amount of work will be undertaken before the two boards of governors reach a final decision. This will involve full consultation with all interested parties, especially parents," said the statement.
Mark Bailey, head at the grammar school, said: "A merger would allow us to combine the best elements of single-sex and co-education, and to create a distinctive sixth-form with a wider range of courses.
"We have a great opportunity to create one of the most prestigious and distinctive co-educational day schools in the country, which will serve the further development of the Leeds economy."
He added: "It's a merger without a closure. It is unusual, if not unique."
Mrs Fishburn added: "This is an exciting proposal. It recognises the special relationship that has always existed between the two schools."
The schools are joined legally and historically through a foundation, which has been considering for some time the future of the schools, along with the governors.
Leeds Grammar School, which was founded in 1552, moved in 1997 from Woodhouse, Leeds, to its current site at Alwoodley. It has 1,380 pupils.
Leeds Girls' High School was founded in 1876 and 990 pupils currently attend the school.
Annual fees for both schools range from about 4,000 to 7,000, depending on age.

"Looks good and clear and easy to follow website - good one! I note we have a few mentions along the way so well done."
1) Waterside Campus - University of Northampton
Set in the heart of Northampton, Amroc are extremely proud to be associated with this state of the art development. On a 58 acre brownfield site the new campus shall be in close proximity to the town centre, a short walk away through the town's Cultural Quarter. As Rehau specialist's in Thermally Activated Building Structures - or TABS – this innovative cooling and heating system shall be designed & engineered to meet these high standards expected for such a prestigious project. As an integral part of green building, TABS from REHAU increases the efficiency of energy usage by circulating cold or warm water through embedded PE-Xa pipe circuits in the concrete slab of a building. The slab effectively becomes a giant thermal accumulator, extracting heat from the space during the day and cooling the building at night; a process which is far more energy efficient than traditional air-conditioning due to the elevated water temperatures involved Energy cost, carbon reduction and legislation drive the need to find new and innovative ways to heat and cool modern buildings.
We are very excited to be working for a new client, and are confident the project will prove a success. Due to commence the later end of 2016 and in line with our drive for environmentally friendly systems, we feel this project with furthermore cement our position as a market leader for TABS in the UK

Indianapolis (Ind.) Ben Davis class of 2013 safety Antonio Allen did not take any visits during the fall, choosing instead to put the focus on his junior season. Now that his season has ended, though, Allen is on the road checking out schools.
"I am visiting Cincinnati [Monday]," Allen said. "I'm just looking to see a good practice, see what they are about and see if they are a good program for me."
The visit to Cincinnati will be Allen's second of the month. He previously visited Kentucky, and has been offered by both schools. Indiana is the latest to offer, but he has yet to make his way down to Bloomington.
Article Continues Below
"I haven't been down there yet because they just offered two weeks ago and we just got done taking finals," Allen said.
Allen's first offer came in from Iowa, and the Hawkeyes continue to pursue the Indianapolis junior hard. He makes a weekly call to Iowa City to chat with their coaching staff.
"I talk to Coach Eric Johnson every Sunday. I just got off the phone with him," Allen said. "We usually talk about family things and we'll talk about the Colts and the Packers too."
An offer from Purdue gives Allen a total of five tenders at this stage of the process, and more teams are starting to show interest in the 5-11, 194-pound safety.
"Ole Miss came in and I have talked to them," Allen said. "They said they are going to look at my film, and if it looks good they are going to offer me."
Allen is in no rush to end his recruitment, and he plans to take his time weighing his options. He is coming off a junior season in which he recorded 114 tackles and one interception.

A world famous concert pianist sexually assaulted a boy before telling his victim's parents the lad had no musical talent, a jury heard.
John Briggs MBE, 65, is accused of offences against five boys from 1969 to 1993. The youngest alleged victim was 10 years old.
Briggs is also accused of filming abuse victims from a Sea Cadet unit.
One pupil, aged 14 or 15, was particularly proud he was being taught by Briggs – who was famous at the time in the late 1970s – the prosecution told Bradford crown court.
Nicholas Worsley said: "He feared that if he said anything, that would be the end of his hopes as a pianist."
Once the excited youngster turned up at Briggs's home expecting a "masterclass" on the teacher's personal piano, the court was told.
But Briggs met him in a pink dressing gown, which he took off to reveal he was naked before abusing him, Mr Worsley added.
The boy ran home and spoke to his mother but "nothing was ever done".
Mr Worsely said: "Briggs subsequently got in touch with the boy's parents and said that their son had no talent whatsoever and would never amount to anything as a musician."
Two of the complainants were music students but the other three were known to Briggs as president of the Keighley Sea Cadet unit.
Briggs – who won an MBE from the Queen ten years ago – was arrested in the early 1990s after one alleged sexual assault but was not charged at the time, the court heard.
Briggs, of East Morton, near Keighley, West Yorks, sat alone in the dock, wearing a jacket and tie.
He denies nine counts of indecent assault on a male and one of indecency with a child.
The trial continues.
