Muslim Brotherhood Picks Egypt's House Speaker; Attacks on Christians Inevitable?
Muslim Brotherhood Picks Egypt's House Speaker; Attacks on Christians Inevitable?
An international Christian organization has voiced its concern over news that the Muslim Brotherhood's leader is to become the speaker of Egypt's newly-minted Parliament, a move that heightens fears that Egypt's Christian community could very well be in danger.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) nominated its Secretary-General, Mohamed Saad al-Katatni, to lead the country's first Parliament chosen since the ousting of former President Hosni Mubarak during the Arab Spring uprisings.
It is the first time in decades that an Islamist is taking over that post, according to CNN.
Muslim politicians are expected to dominate Egypt's Parliament as Islamists of various stripes – including the radical Salafists – are expected to win 60 percent of the 498 elected seats in the assembly's lower house, with the Brotherhood taking some 41 percent, according to estimates.
Although the situation of religious minorities under Mubarak was far from ideal, Egypt saw a rise in acts of violence against the Coptic Christian community in the immediate aftermath of the autocratic ruler's toppling.
Egypt is a majority Muslim country, with Muslims constituting some 90 percent of the population. Christians are the main minority distinguished by most statistics, with Coptic Christians constituting 9 percent of the population and the remaining Christian denominations 1 percent, according to the CIA Factbook.
Since 2008, Copts have endured dozens of assaults, including the 2011 New Year's Day church bombing in Alexandria that left 23 dead – the worst sectarian strike against Egypt's Christians in a decade, according to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom's (USCIRF) 2011 report on global religious freedom.
"With public attention focused on the unfolding political drama in Egypt, a number of world leaders, including President Obama and Pope Benedict XVI, have expressed serious concern about the dramatic upsurge in attacks against that nation's largest religious minority, the Coptic Orthodox Christian community," the USCIRF report reads.
"For years, President Hosni Mubarak's government tolerated widespread discrimination against religious minorities, from Copts to Baha'is and dissident Muslims, while allowing state-controlled media and state-funded mosques to deliver incendiary messages against them," it continues. "Materials vilifying Jews have appeared regularly in the state-controlled and semi-official media. Egypt's government not only neglected to protect religious minorities against violence, but failed to punish those responsible for it."
"In May 2011, Salafists were responsible for attacking two churches and killing twelve people, mainly Christians, in Cairo. The same group now holds one-fourth of the seats in Egypt's new Parliament and there is no evidence to suggest that violence committed by the Salafists will cease," Aidan Clay, International Christian Concern (ICC) Regional Manager for the Middle East, said in a statement emailed to CP. "Instead, Salafists will be eager to push the country toward Islamism and, in doing so, will target Christians, liberals, and women demanding rights."
"The question remains: will the Muslim Brotherhood be driven by Salafists toward radicalism, or will they continue to appease the West and liberals by appearing moderate? In either case, continuing attacks on Christians are inevitable."
Many Christians and moderates fear that an Islamist majority in Parliament will use its power to base the nation's constitution on Sharia law, which will greatly restrict the rights of non-Muslims, local sources have told ICC.
"Somewhere between two-thirds and 80 percent of Egyptian Muslims support radical Islamist parties. Only the army, which is eager to suppress moderates but would rather make deals than fight the Islamists, stands in the way of radicalization," Barry Rubin, director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center in Herzliya, Israel told ICC.
Egypt's courts have demonstrated increasing independence, and the principles of due process and judicial review have gained greater respect since the Jan. 25 Revolution, according to the U.S. Department of State. Still, marriage and personal status (family law) are primarily based on the religious law of the individual concerned, which for most Egyptians is Islamic law, or Sharia.
Al-Katatni is described as a moderate on the Brotherhood's website. He was detained by Mubarak's state security forces together with Freedom Justice Party leaders, according to CNN.
Al-Katatni said in May the Brotherhood had nearly 9,000 members, including 978 women and 93 Coptic Christians.
"The party is open to all Egyptians, Muslims and Copts alike," he said at the time.

Cano gets Mariners chapter underway
All-Star second baseman excited after first workout with new club
PEORIA, Ariz. -- After 13 years with the Yankees organization, it didn't take Robinson Cano long to realize that things indeed had changed when he stepped on the field for the first time with his new Mariners teammates on Tuesday.
Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and working in Arizona for the first time instead of at the Yankees' complex in Florida, Cano went about his business, chatted with young infielders Kyle Seager, Brad Miller and Justin Smoak as he took batting practice and then faced a barrage of reporters curious about the new adventure for the $240 million second baseman.
Yes, things felt different, he acknowledged. It's still baseball, still the first day of Spring Training. Cano had been anticipating this moment since signing his 10-year deal with the Mariners in December, but there's always an adjustment when anybody takes a new job.
"I'm not going to lie. I just realized that today," Cano said. "You know you signed with Seattle, but [it doesn't really sink in] until you're on the field with your teammates and don't see those faces you used to watch for 13 years. Like I said, I chose here, I'm here now and I'm just excited and can't wait for the season to start."
Cano doesn't feel it will take long to get used to his new environment. And when pressed about whether he had gotten over any disappointment with having to leave the Yankees, he kept the focus on his future.
"All I can tell you is I'm happy to be here," Cano said. "I'm excited. It's even more fun than I thought, the way I've been embraced by teammates, coaching staff, the manager, front office. I feel like I'm a big part of this team right away. It's not going to take me long to get used to this uniform and this team."
Mariners ace Felix Hernandez was one of the first to greet Cano when he arrived in the clubhouse in the morning. Once on the field, he worked alongside veteran utility man Willie Bloomquist at second base during infield drills, then was in a hitting group with Miller, Seager and Smoak.
The young Mariners clearly are eager to soak up whatever they can from one of the game's premier hitters.
"He's always been one of the guys that I've kind of watched all along, so for me personally, I'm really excited just to be around him," said Seager, a fellow left-handed hitter. "Just to break down his swing and watch his swing is special. To be around him every day and see how he goes about his business and learn from him as much as I can is definitely something I'm looking forward to."
Cano shied away from any predictions about what the Mariners might do this year, but he repeatedly praised the young talent on the squad.
"I don't want to say we're close, but I know we have a team that can go out and compete," he said. "We've got good young talent, good pitching. I don't want to say we're going to be in first place, second place, last place, we just have to play together and stay together and we can do a lot of good things."
Cano's addition should help a Mariners offense that finished 12th in the American League in runs last year in a 71-91 season. Cano is a career .309 hitter who averaged 25 home runs and 97 RBIs over the past seven seasons in New York.
He'll join a lineup where Corey Hart has also been added this offseason, but Cano wouldn't mind more help as well. The Mariners signed closer Fernando Rodney, one of Cano's teammates on the Dominican Republic's World Baseball Classic championship team last year, and he endorsed adding free-agent outfielder Nelson Cruz to the mix as well.
"I wish we had Nelson here," he said. "But we've got a front office that knows what they have to do and what they can decide. That's out of my hands. I know Nelson. Great guy, and we all know what he can do with his bat and in the outfield."
The Mariners expect Cano to provide leadership on the field, but manager Lloyd McClendon says he just needs "Robbie to be Robbie" and everything else will work out.
Cano understands he'll be asked to do more on a team that doesn't have Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera or any established stars other than Hernandez. But he agrees that the most important thing is to be himself.
"I like to lead by example," he said. "When you talk too much, nobody listens. I'm going to go out and try to play every day, and that's the biggest example you can show a kid, by how hard you work and how good you prepare yourself in the offseason so you can play 162 games."
Cano says he won't change. He vows to be the same player he was before signing his $240 million contract. But one thing that did change? He's now wearing a well-trimmed beard, something that never would have happened with the Yankees' rule against facial hair.
"It's a little different," Cano said, rubbing his chin and smiling. "Now I know I don't have to shave every two days. Let's see how I do this year with this."

Hi to all,
I'm deciding to which magazine subscribe for the coming year.
2009 was the year of Bon Appetite.
2010 was expected to be the year of Gourmet, alas it's not more possible.
Which are good food related magazine for you?
thanks a lot

I've pretty much given up on consumer cooking magazines, as most of them have gone steadily downhill. Instead of subscribing I look at them on the newsstand, and, if there's something of interest, I buy that issue. Fact is, though, I haven't bought one in more months than I care to remember.
Heading the list of those I even look at would be
Food & Wine
IMO, Bon Appetite may as well be titled "Rachael Ray's Other Magazine." And virtually every magazine bearing the name of a celebrity chef is, far as I'm concerned, a joke.

I used to buy way too many cooking magazines which I would look at and, once in a blue moon, cook something from them. I am now in the process of going through them one last time and clipping out very select recipes. One magazine that I still buy on a regular basis is Cook's Illustrated - good tips - tested recipes and NO ADVERTISING.

Going through them periodically is a good idea. Otherwise you wind up doing what I did a couple of years ago. I went through 25 years worth of cooking magazines all at once, clipping what I really wanted and discarding the rest.
That's why I feel so strongly about them going downhill. I saw the process over a relatively few days.
Another thing that stood out, btw, is how one's tastes change. Many times there were recipes that I had marked to try in older magazines that I looked at and said to myself, "whyever would I want to make that?" Meanwhile, recipes I had skipped over suddenly had appeal.
Recipes aside, what really changed, over time, was the editorial content, and it's quality. There was a steady downward movement, with the better magazines moving away from their upscale postitioning and trying, more and more, to appeal to the mass, less sophisticated audience. Unfortunately, Food Network already owns that market. So there were predictable results, such as the folding of
Newer publications seem to be following similar downward movements.
, with everyone had great hopes for, has become nothing more than a catalog. What purports to be editorial material mostly just touts products (which, miracle du, happen to be those of advertisers).
Food & Wine,
seems to be moving in that direction as well, but still contains some pure editorial material.
All in all, very depressing.

and NO ADVERTISING.
You say that, Carla, not only as if lack of advertising was a good thing, but that advertising is somehow evil.
Fact is, nowadays, you can get more meaningful information from the ads than from the so-called editorial material in most cooking magazines.
Besides which, the absence of ads in
Cook's Illustrated
is why the cover price is so high. Somebody's gotta pay for it.
Historically, even with their higher subscription prices, it is very rare that a publication can survive with its readers being the only income stream. Production and distribution costs are outlandish, and your subscription barely covers them.
There is also an erroneous concept that ad-less magazines are purer, with more objective editorial material than those which carry ads. Such is not the case. Or, rather, doesn't have to be the case, and historically wasn't. One of the ways food magazines have degraded is that the editorial side and business side used to be separate entities. The editors concentrated on putting out a great magazine, paying no (well, very little) attention to advertiser sensibilities. That, unfortunately, is no longer true. Nowadays, it seems (at least with food magazines) that the advertisers call the tune and the editors dance to it.

Hi rori76
Welcome to the forum!!!
I particularly love a New Zealand magazine "Dish".
Scrumptious recipes, stunning photography, and truly informative articles.
HIGHLY recommended.

I just checked Bon Appetit, and realized that it is the cooking magazine I dislike so much. It is, truly, written for those who watch Rachel Ray, Sandra Lee and Guy Fieri. If you are outside of the English speaking world and don't get the food network, don't worry. I am sure you have cooking shows just as bad in your own countries. I got TV 5 for a while, and it was so bad, including the occasional cooking shows, that I couldn't watch it, even though I was desperate about my loss of fluency in French due to lack of exposure.
I love reading cooking magazines, and, despite some issues with Gourmet found it the only readable one. I used to like Eating Well, but it now is composed mainly of 20 minute meals made by combing convenience foods. Cooks Illustrated may be the best but it is overly fussy. I have never really read Saveur, except for the January issue. I feel like the whole world is catering to a vulgar mass market, and I am positioned (positioning myself?) as a snob because I cook from scratch, and I don't like to see cooks made over into caricatures of themselves. I am going to try Fine Cooking.
I do have to say that I looooove Darra Goldstein, so Gastronomica may be worth purchasing on an issue by issue basis. Has anyone besides me read Darra Goldstein's book on winter foods? (I can't remember the name.) It goes beyond being a cookbook and is full of really interesting anecdotes about eastern and northern European food culture.

KY Heirloomer, the only reason I said NO ADVERTISING was because it keeps the magazine to a good size if you are saving them - I worked in Advertising for a while and know that the ads help cover the cost of production (and hopefully generate profits). You're right about how our tastes change over time - a lot of the things I've clipped in the past have not made it past a second recipe file purge.

Sorry, Carla. Didn't mean to get your panties in a knot. But the way you highlighted it seemed to indicate this was a really important consideration for you.
BTW, ads do not just help cover production costs. They are, for most publications, the primary income stream. Subscription costs are all but meaningless in that regard (which is why we all get bombarded with those discount magazine offers). Subscriptions are important because they determine how circulation and readership is computed. And that, in turn, determines the page rate charged advertisers.
In an ideal world, readers would be happy to pay for the publications they want. In the real world, however, they aren't. Or at least not in numbers that count. Thus, the majority of no-ads magazines do not last. Just how many people do you reckon are really prepared to drop 12 bucks a pop for
This is the second incarnation of
Cook's Illustrated
. If history is any judge, it won't last long in this go-round either.
Who here remembers
Kitchen Gardener
magazine? For those who both cook and garden it was a fantastic magazine---with no ads. But given the incredible production costs for a quality magazine, and the limited income stream from subscribers, it, too, went the way of the dodo bird.

Even at $9 an issue, Ginger, it's a steep price.
I've looked at several on the newsstand and, frankly, there was very little I found interesting. Too much of their content is written by academics, and it's like reading a textbook. And much of the other subject matter didn't appeal to me.
My point wasn't whether or not it's a good magazine. Rather it had to do with what readers have to pay for the information it contains. If
was a regular consumer magazine, it would have a 60/40 ratio of editorial to ads. The same 120 pages you get now would be more like 250, and you'd be paying about $12/year for six issues.
But hey, it's your money to spend as you like. What I'm saying is that you're in a distinct minority, and my prediction is that
won't make it five years. Not based on subscription sales, anyway.

Hi Gingerpale, thanks for mentioning Gastronomica, which I wasn't aware of. I browsed through their site and I find it very very interesting. From my point of view," mostly recipe" magazines are not very interesting anymore, as I'm not really looking all the time how to cook an egg in 100 slyles.
There are enough blogs and recipe sites for getting new recipes and ideas, and anyhow, I find very few who are really original. Therefore, the "literary" aspect of Gastronomica appeals to me. I'll try to find out how I can get it here. I don't find the price exorbitant, so i'll give it a chance.
Thanks again,
No more war, more good food , good reading, good life , more good good good..

On a night full of decisions, Cole Konrad, Damian Grabowski and Zoila Frausto all punched their tournament semifinal tickets with unanimous nods at Bellator 25.
All three contests were featured on the evening's FOX Sports Net-televised main card – though it was non-tournament action between Dan Hornbuckle and Brad Blackburn provided the night's only real fireworks.
Bellator 25 took place Thursday night at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago.
The main event saw Konrad do what he does best. The two-time NCAA wrestling champion used his superior grappling abilities to ground opponent Rogent Lloret for much of the 15-minute contest and allowed very little room for a counterattack. With six submission wins to his credit, Lloret was considered a viable threat from his back, but the openings simply never materialized.
Konrad's (5-0 MMA, 3-0 BFC) top game proved effective once again, and the undefeated heavyweight netted his third-straight decision win in a largely uneventful affair. Meanwhile, Lloret (9-2-1 MMA, 0-1 BFC) sees an eight-fight win streak snapped.
The evening's second heavyweight tournament fight featured what appeared to be heading toward a surprising upset but resulted only in an upset Scott Barrett.
The stocky Barrett pushed forward against the undefeated Grabowski throughout the 15-minute fight, and in the opening two rounds he was able to work to top position frequently. However, once there, Barrett did very little with the top position while Grabowski fired off shots from underneath and worked to sweep and stand on each attempt. Still, the positional battle was unquestionably in favor of Barrett, and it appeared he might have a pair of rounds in the bank as he entered the final frame based solely on positional dominance and takedowns.
Exhausted, Barrett continued to move straight ahead in the final round. But with his hands down and mouth open, Barrett absorbed blow after blow from Grabowski. It looked as if the Polish import might be earning a 10-8 round, but a final Barrett takedown seemed to prohibit that score.
Nevertheless, many observers (including the Bellator broadcast team) felt Barrett was going to cruise to a decision win. Instead, the crowd favorite was given a 30-27 nod on all three judges' cards.
Grabowski (13-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC) remains undefeated with the win while advancing to the tournament semifinals. Meanwhile, Barrett (10-2 MMA, 1-1 BFC) sees a four-fight win streak halted with the loss.
Grabowski and Konrad join Neil Grove as semifinalists in the heavyweight bracket.
In a welterweight special attraction, season-two tournament semifinalist Hornbuckle outlasted a game Blackburn and a nasty kick to the groin to claim a unanimous-decision win.
Blackburn opened with effective boxing and outstruck Hornbuckle en route to claiming the opening round. But as time wore on, Blackburn's crisp attacks lessened in frequency, and Hornbuckle was able to effectively mix in kicks and knees along with his punches from range.
The groin shot came in the second round and looked damaging in live action. But Hornbuckle battle through the adversity over the final round-and-a-half. Blackburn's face began to show the effects of the punishment in the final frame, and though he battled valiantly until the end, "Bad" Brad fell short on all three judges' cards, 29-28.
With the win, Hornbuckle (22-3 MMA, 3-1 BFC) rebounds from a June loss to eventual tournament winner Ben Askren. While his effort was commendable, Blackburn (17-12-1 MMA, 0-1 BFC) falls just short in his Bellator debut and has now dropped three-straight fights overall.
The night's main card opened with striking sensation Frausto taking a one-sided decision win over the previously undefeated Jessica Pene. The submission-oriented Pene was unable to overcome Frausto's capable takedown defense at any point in the 15-minute affair, and while the "Warrior Princess" wasn't able to display her flashy attacks, she was able to easily claim all three rounds of the fight.
The contest wasn't especially entertaining, with most of the action taking place in the clinch, but Frausto's win was undeniable, and she was awarded all three rounds on all three judges' cards.
With the win, Frausto (8-1 MMA, 2-0 BFC) joined Jessica Aguilar and Megumi Fujii in the 115-pound female tournament semifinals. Pene (7-1 MMA, 1-1 BFC) loses for the first time as a professional.
- Cole Konrad def. Rogent Lloret via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
- Damian Grabowski def. Scott Barrett via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
- Dan Hornbuckle def. Brad Blackburn via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
- Zoila Frausto def. Jessica Pene via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Real Goods Solar: Milestone of 100 MW in Total Installations reached
Louisville, Colorado - Real Goods Solar, Inc., a nationwide leader of turnkey solar energy solutions, installed more than 25 megawatts (MW) of solar power in 2012 for residential, commercial, and utility customers. Furthermore, the company achieved a major milestone having surpassed cumulative installations of more than 100 MW and over 14,500 in total number of solar installations.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) indicates that 100 MW of solar capacity will power approximately 16,900 homes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 100 MW of solar power offsets more than 270 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per year, which is equivalent to removing more than 25,000 cars from the nation's highways annually.
"Bringing this incredible emission-free and 100% renewable energy source to residential and commercial customers has been in our DNA for many years - beginning with Real Goods selling some of the very first solar energy kits in the late 1970s," said Kam Mofid, Real Goods Solar CEO. "We are proud to have been a pioneer in this field and to have empowered so many thousands of customers to realize the benefits of going solar. There has been a dramatic rise in the adoption of solar energy in recent years. In many ways, we are still in the infancy of what is possible and indeed achievable, both economically and environmentally, and ultimately for the country in terms of increased energy security and independence."
The U.S. photovoltaic market of installed capacity is expected to reach approximately 4 gigawatts (GW) in 2013, then double to nearly 8 GW by 2016, according to SEIA and GTM Research's latest U.S. Solar Market Insight report. This makes solar one of the fastest growing industries in the country.
About Real Goods Solar and RGS Energy
Real Goods Solar, Inc. (RSOL) is one of the nation's pioneering solar energy companies serving commercial, residential, and utility customers. Beginning with one of the very first photovoltaic panels sold in the U.S. in 1978, the company has installed more than 14,500 solar power systems representing over 100 megawatts of 100% clean renewable energy. Real Goods Solar makes it very convenient for customers to save on their energy bill by providing a comprehensive solar solution, from design, financing, permitting and installation to ongoing monitoring, maintenance and support. As one of the nation's largest and most experienced solar power installers, the company has 15 offices across the West and the Northeast. It services the commercial and utility markets through its RGS Energy division. For more information, visit RealGoodsSolar.com or RGSEnergy.com, or call (888) 507-2561.

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposes $142.6 billion budget, calls for extending taxes, raising fees
ALBANY, N.Y. (January 22) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a $142.6 billion budget Tuesday that includes $6 billion in extra federal funds for Hurricane Sandy relief and Obamacare health programs, along with squeezing $403 million more from tax and fee collections.
Cuomo said the taxes and fees are not new and include extending a $236 million a year utility tax and collecting an $80 surcharge on plea bargained traffic tickets that will cost drivers $16 million annually. Cuomo also wants to suspend the driver's licenses of people who owe taxes, generating another $26 million.
At the same time, Cuomo called for extending $420 million a year in tax breaks given to investors and companies that bring movie or TV productions to New York. He also proposed letting anyone selling Lottery tickets also have a Quick-Draw game, generating $24 million in new revenues.
Not counting what Cuomo called the $6.1 billion in "extraordinary federal aid" for Sandy and Medicaid spending under the new Affordable Healthcare Act, the new budget totals $136.2 billion, a 2 percent increase over the current budget totaling $133.9 billion.
The extra $6 billion will mostly be funneled through Albany to benefit local governments, business and individuals caught up in Hurricane Sandy, state Budget Director Bob Megna said. Megna said the new budget contains no one shots and said plans to sweep millions out of State Insurance Fund reserves does not count.
The new budget is supposed to be in place by April 1, the start of the state's fiscal year. Legislators say they expect to finish passing a spending plan by March 21 because of the Easter-Passover religious holidays.
The 2013-14 budget plan is the third Cuomo has proposed since taking office and was notable for having few surprises and little of the drama that Cuomo has tried to bring to state government since taking office in 2011.
"Two consecutive fiscally responsible budgets have drastically reduced the deficit we face in this fiscal year and those we will face in years to come," Cuomo said. "As a result, we are able to make critical investments to build a world-class education system, support job creating projects in all corners of the state, provide assistance to local governments, and rebuild communities that were hit hard by Superstorm Sandy."
In many ways the budget plans sticks with the status quo, with no new bid to rein in Medicaid spending that now totals about $1 billion per week in New York state. Also absent are any big cuts or changes in laws that would anger labor unions. It also does not call for any significant new local government mandate relief, though it does propose letting governments opt to for installment type payments into the pension system rather that face bills that can change year to year.
Early reviews from special interest groups was positive, with a few noticeable exceptions.
CSEA, the state's largest public employees labor union, objected to the "flat budget" that calls for no growth in state agency spending and a shrinking state worker job force. Also registering an objection was NYSCOPBA, the union representing DOCCS prison guard, since the Cuomo plans calls for closing under-populated prisons in Manhattan and Beacon.
"We commend the governor for his commitment to funding public education with a nearly $900 million increase at a time when the economy continues to under perform," said the state School Boards Association. "Equally important, we welcome the governor's proposal to relieve school districts from volatile fluctuations in budget-busting pension costs."
The presentation noted that state aid to schools will rise even as overall student enrollment declines. The budget said that New York spends more than any other state on schools, about $18,618 per pupil on average, 76 percent above the national average.
"Only 74 percent of our students graduate from high school and only 35 percent are college or career ready," the budget briefing book handed out to reporters noted.
The budget also included Cuomo's call for hiking the minimum wage, though Megna acknowledged under questioning that changes in the wage law will have a negligible impact on the budget plan.

"I have now shopped at the Rancho Bernardo store 4 times and have purchased 4 pairs of shoes and one pair of slippers. What a terrific experience. The clerks I have dealt with have been very helpful and pleasant with NO pressure at all. I have a bone spur on my heel and my podiatrist recommended I wear shoes with a 1 inch heel. I am retired and have been wearing flat shoes and had gotten so I could hardly walk as the pain was so bad. I am thrilled with the selection of shoes carried at Footwear, etc. I had expected that I would not find many that looked stylish and was I ever wrong. So many that it was difficult to choose. Good shoes (good arch support) are worth every penny. I no longer have pain in my heel and can do a lot of walking that would have been impossible before."

11.5 LOC shall only be liable to the Client to the extent that LOC is unable to rectify any matter for which it would otherwise be liable to the Client within a period of 45 days of becoming aware of the said matter.
11.6 The Client's relationship is solely with LOC. No Representative of LOC has any personal legal liability to the Client whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise. The fact that any Representative signs in his or her name any document or email in the course of carrying out the Consultancy Services does not give rise to any personal legal liability separate to that of LOC.
11.7 The Client agrees that other than in the event of fraud, any claim which the Client brings in respect of a matter on which the Client has instructed LOC shall be made against LOC and not against any of the following:
11.7.1 any Representative of LOC;
11.7.2 any LOC Group Company of LOC or any officer, employee, agent, consultant or subcontractor of any such LOC Group Company; or
11.7.3 any successor of any of the persons listed in the preceding sub paragraphs.
11.8 Where LOC is liable to the Client and a third party is also liable to the Client in connection with the same matter, LOC shall only be responsible for a fair share of the Client's loss. In particular, if the Client agreed to limit the liability of such other third party or if the Client is unable to recover from that other third party, LOC's share shall not be increased because of the limitation of liability the Client has agreed with the other third party or the Client's inability to recover from him/it.

Has anyone ever seen any papers or books including set-theoretic descriptions of formal language theory? Specifically, I'm interested in how one would formalize context-free grammars with sets.
Some of this, I suppose is fairly obvious. For example, strings would use a foundational formalism much like ordered pairs (e.g. Kuratowski's definition or similar) but what about objects like production rules and their semantics?
This isn't really necessary for me to get any actual work done, I just thought it would help me build a better intuition around formal language theory.
Thanks in advance,
- Anthony
An example of what I'm looking for would be string concatenation. How would one construct this in pure set theroy? If we consider the strings "a" and "b", and consider their set representations to be { { a } } and { { b }} (as per Kuratowski), then the desired result would be { { a }, { a, b } }. Clearly this cannot be accomplished by a defining string concatenation to be set union but there are obviously numerous ways of doing so. The choice at each point in defining how to do something in formal language theory using pure set theory will, in some cases, determine how other notions can be defined. As a consequence, some definitions may be more complex than others (or less elegant than others, one might say). I'm just curious if anyone has done anything like this before.

De La Rosa reverses Philadelphia fortunes
Lefty wins third straight start after Tulo, Rosario homer
PHILADELPHIA -- Rockies left-hander Jorge De La Rosa finally enjoyed himself in the City of Brotherly Love.
De La Rosa, whose three previous starts at Citizens Bank Park were awful, threw 6 1/3 solid innings Tuesday night to earn a 5-3 win over the Phillies in front of 34,018.
De La Rosa (13-6), who won his third straight start, entered 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA, and had given up four home runs and 19 hits in 16 1/3 innings in Philadelphia.
But this time, he held the Phillies to three runs, two earned, on three hits and three walks with three strikeouts. His only troublesome inning was the third, when first baseman Todd Helton's fielding error -- on his 40th birthday -- was part of a three-run inning. But he struck out Michael Young to end the inning and start a stretch of 11 straight retired batters.
"I finally won one game here, and I finally won a game against those guys," said De La Rosa, who was 0-4 in seven appearances against the Phillies. "They're a tough team for me."
Troy Tulowitzki homered for the 22nd time this season and second time in as many games, this one for two runs in the first inning. Wilin Rosario ran his hitting streak to a career-best 11 with his 18th homer, a solo shot in the third.
The Rockies (59-68) split the first two of a four-game series at Citizens Bank Park. By improving to 2-3 on this 10-game trip, they've already done better than their last road trip, when they went 1-9. They're still looking for their first road series win since July 8-10 at San Diego, and one more win would give them their first road series split since July 11-14 against the Dodgers.
De La Rosa was the biggest reason.
Since mid June, De La Rosa has been bothered by a bruise on his left thumb, and he admitted the thumb went numb on a broken-bat grounder to the mound in the second inning. However, his fastball had more life than in any of his recent starts, and his changeup and slider were sharp.
"That was real good -- everything was working and we were right together, on the same page," Rosario, the catcher, said.
Tulowitzki, whose homer in Monday night's 5-4 loss was his first since Aug. 2, homered off Tyler Cloyd (2-3) with one out in the first. Michael Cuddyer then doubled and scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-0.
Tulowitzki had a National League-leading .347 batting average before June 13, when he suffered a broken rib that cost him 25 games. From his July 11 return through Aug. 12, he hit .205 with four homers and saw his season average dip to .306. But he has hit safely in seven games since then, going 11-for-27 (.407) with five RBIs.
"He looks like he's on time up there again," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "He was searching for it for a bit."
Dexter Fowler's RBI single made it 4-0, and Rosario made it 5-0 in the third, homering to center on the first pitch of his at-bat.
"Just trying to do too much, trying to be too fine," Cloyd said of his early struggles. "Mechanics wore down a little bit. Later on, obviously I settled down and started trusting that my stuff was going to go where I wanted it to go."
Helton mishandled a Carlos Ruiz grounder with two on and one out in the third. Chase Utley added an RBI single and a Dominic Brown sacrifice fly cut the difference to 5-3.
Corey Asche's infield single with one out in the Phillies' seventh and a walk to John Mayberry led to De La Rosa's exit. Kevin Frandsen flied to center against Matt Belisle, then Helton atoned for the error and ended the threat with sleight-of-hand.
Jimmy Rollins, facing Rex Brothers, grounded to Nolan Arenado who was headed toward the line but made a strong leaping, twisting, one-hop throw. Helton had to leave the bag to glove the ball, and television replays showed he never tagged Rollins. But first-base umpire Jim Wolf called the out, and Rollins didn't protest. Neither did Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg.
"That was the biggest thing, Jimmy had no argument," Sandberg said. "He told me later he felt something over there on his back. From my angle, I just saw a throw that was slightly up the line with a swipe tag."
Helton finished the play with a matador's flourish.
"I don't know if you'd call it selling it -- it's just my natural reaction to think I tagged him, even though it didn't work out that way," Helton said. "It worked out great."
What happened at the back end aside, it was yet another highlight defensive play from Arenado, who has earned legitimate consideration for a Gold Glove Award even though he is a rookie.
"Right when I got it, I knew he could run," Arenado said. "Once I was able to get a grip, I just chucked it. Luckily it was somewhere near. It could've gone down the line. It could have been in right field."
Brothers overcame a one-out walk to Utley and two balks to throw a scoreless eighth. Brothers said he was warned once early in the year about not coming set completely, and didn't dispute the balk calls.
Rafael Betancourt earned his 16th save in 17 chances with a perfect ninth. It was Betancourt's first save since July 14, before he missed four-plus weeks after an emergency appendectomy. The relievers pitched 2 2/3 hitless innings with one walk.
