Sophisticated real estate litigation is a major practice area of our firm. Our attorneys are knowledgeable and experienced in real estate-related disputes, including arbitration and traditional litigation. We have represented clients in all areas of the real estate industry, including owners, developers, management companies, brokers, and investors. We have handled – and tried to conclusion – many disputes related to the following areas:
Our firm represented a treatment facility for children with eating disorders. After a municipality approved our client's proposed use, the city's zoning board of appeals caved to political pressure and reversed the city's initial decision. We obtained a reversal in the superior court and the Court of Appeals of Georgia affirmed.
Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities v. United Cerebral Palsy of Georgia, 298 Ga. 779 (2016)
We represented a Fortune 50 company in a zoning appeal. Our client purchased a commercial property for over $60 million after our client obtained assurances and positive feedback from City officials with regard to our client's proposed redevelopment. Despite the positive feedback and assurances, the City Council initially denied rezoning. Our client filed suit, and the City Council subsequently voted to approve the rezoning.
Our firm represents a high tech manufacturer who sought a city zoning variance to expand its facilities, but faced opposition from a neighboring property owner. We advised our client on the permitting process and dealt directly with the city attorney to address the potential objections, and the client's permit was approved.
Our firm represented the builder of a 124-unit senior living facility in a city zoning dispute regarding the type of construction required for the facility. The firm intervened and obtained a favorable resolution with the city, saving our client significant construction costs.
Our firm recently won the dismissal of claims filed against our clients in a case for the proceeds of the sale of a Florida hotel. The court agreed with our client's position and recognized that there was no basis for the plaintiffs' most potentially lucrative claims, including a cause of action under the Georgia RICO statute.
The firm recently obtained the dismissal of multiple claims and potential liability over $2.1 million in a partnership dispute regarding a commercial real estate transaction in which the plaintiff was seeking over $2.1 million in damages.
We represent a client who provided substantial funds to a close family friend- a real estate developer. The money was to be used for various real estate projects. Despite numerous promises, the developer failed to repay our client. We asserted claims of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, promissory estoppel, piercing the corporate veil and punitive damages in Fulton Superior Court. The developer filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied. The case will proceed to trial.
The firm successfully represented a Fortune 100 company in a recent multi-million dollar contract dispute with a real estate investment firm involving the company's lease of 100,000 Sq. Ft. of office space in north Atlanta. The property, which was part of a previously troubled CMBS trust, had housed the company's regional headquarters. Our firm worked with in-house counsel for the company to structure a settlement that allowed the company to proceed with its plans to move to a new location in Atlanta and save the company approximately $4 million in future liabilities.
We represented two individuals who borrowed over $1 million dollars to build a home in Sandy Springs. The lender filed suit against our clients. In the lawsuit, the lender sought to void modifications to debt instruments that the lender executed. We obtained summary judgment in our client's favor. The decision was subsequently affirmed by the Georgia Court of Appeals and has been cited numerous times.
Our firm represented a property owner who sought a variance to build on his residential property. The city denied the variance. The property owner retained our firm. We successfully appealed the denial of the variance, and the owner was able to build in his property.
Our firm represented the developer of a major Atlanta condominium project in the Buckhead area against condominium purchasers. The purchasers sought to rescind their contracts to buy condominiums. Most of the cases have settled on terms very favorable for our client.
Our company has a multibillion dollar real estate portfolio, and we work with law firms around the country. We retained the Robbins Firm to handle a rezoning challenge involving a major real estate development of ours in the Southeast. The Robbins Firm has a unique combination of deep expertise in real estate law, top-notch trial skills and strategic understanding of the political process. They deployed all of those attributes in helping us obtain the rezoning we needed while maintaining a good relationship with the jurisdiction in which the project is located. In addition to the great result, working with the Firm was a pleasure. The Firm was very receptive to our input and guidance, and we established a true collaborative relationship.
M.M., Corporate Counsel, Large insurer
I called on Richard Robbins and Josh Belinfante of the Robbins Firm to represent me in a difficult landlord/tenant dispute with a governmental agency involving a large office building I manage. At our jury trial, their cross examination and closing argument was nothing short of brilliant. As a former attorney myself and one who has been represented by numerous other firms and attorneys, the Robbins Firm ranks at the very top and my first choice, no matter how complex the facts, circumstances and legal issues may be. The Robbins attorneys were able to win at every turn against the government, including literally every penny in unpaid rent we asked for, plus attorneys' fees and interest. It is tough to fight the government, but the Robbins Firm successfully did so.
P.S., Real estate owner
I have worked with Robbins Firm attorneys for 20 years on a variety of difficult real estate disputes, from commercial landlord/tenant disputes, to partnership disputes and lender issues. They have provided me with savvy business and legal advice and have represented me capably in litigation. Most recently, they resolved a very difficult development lawsuit in less than a month, which allowed a multimillion dollar real estate project to go forward. They have always been there for me when I needed them.
C.H., Real estate developer

3 Days in New York City
First Time in the City
New York - The city that never shuts down
I was searching for authentic Chinese and am happy I found this place! I had the Chicken Chow Fun and hot tea was give free! Great meal under $8 in NYC!
This is my favorite restaurant in Chinatown and I live in New York. Everything is good. I really like the chicken dishes.
Michelle, we're honored to be among your favorites -- means the world! Hope to see you again soon.
Eric H., Owner
We visited the restaurant after a long time we didn't visit NYC.
They changed the name a little bit (maybe changed owners).
In the past this restaurant was our favourite in Chinatown.
We went to a lunch.
They put us in a round table with a local family.
Noodles Won Ton soup-average.
Seafood chaw mein-good
Chicken cashew nuts- average ....
Thanks for visiting again, Gadi. It's always so good to hear from folks who come back to our place when they're in town. You're right, we've gone through a few name changes, but our aim is still to give our customers food and service that go above and beyond. I'm sorry to hear some of our dishes missed the mark...
We have been eating here for years, and the food is still mostly the same. The dumplings and scallion pancakes are always a favorite. Ditto for the sesame noodles.
What a compliment, Chessie! It means so much to hear that you've stuck with us through the years. It's all because of customers like you that we've been a fixture in Chinatown for so long. Here's to many more years of dumplings and scallion cakes. See you next time!
Eric H., Owner
Had the ribs special, fried fish, fried rice, and a chicken dish. Tasty like your typical Chinese food, but much better that your neighborhood take out. It seemed their portions are less than other Chinese restaurants I've eaten at. Service is minimal and cash payment is required. No decor and bathroom is only functional.
We're always striving to give our guests the best experience, so we want it to be anything but typical. Part of that experience is a commitment to quality, including portion size, which is to say we're sorry you didn't enjoy the amount of food as much as you enjoyed the taste. I appreciate your feedback, and I hope you'll be...
Restaurant has changed names since we last visited NYC, but seems to be same owners, same yummy recipes and same great service. By far the best pork dumplings and egg drop soup I've found anywhere! Their scallion cakes are also delish!
Many years ago when visiting Chinatown in NYC, we wanted to eat in the area but didn't have a...
It's true, we've gone through a few name changes over the years -- wonderful to hear that the food is as good as ever! I love hearing from folks who keep coming back. Can't wait for you to visit during your next trip!
Thanks so much,
Eric H., Owner
After a traditional Dim Sum lunch the day before at Jin Fong, we had a very enjoyable lunch at Green Box. The Soup Pork Buns we're excellent as we're the home made Dumplings. The Rice Cakes with beef were just OK with only a little beef and not enough sauce. What makes this place stand out is their Seaweed Batter...
I think this is some of the best Dim Sum in China Town. I also like that it is off the beaten track. In terms of ordering I would recommend the pork soup dumplings, fried pork dumplings, pork buns and scalion pancakes.
This has been a Chinatown institution for decades under an assortment of different names. Indeed, our prominent local chefs go here for new dish ideas! Highly recommended. Crowded but.
This restaurant seems to be getting an increasingly bad wrap in recent years. Perhaps this is, at least in part, due to the gap between expectations and reality that has been created by changes in the name over the decade.....new; nice; and now deluxe. Not sure why the owners of this establishment don't embrace a truism, and call it Tasty...

Former Mayor Bob Filner's more wholesome legacy – shifting the focus from downtown development to the city's deteriorating neighborhoods – has already bled into the race to replace him. Nathan Fletcher told Voice of San Diego last week he'll continue the conversation Filner started about bringing infrastructure and services into neighborhoods.
His campaign trail, then, will surely pass through City Heights.
The community has been muscling its way toward a renaissance, beginning with a 1994 Price Charities investment that brought a grocery store into the neighborhood. But crammed city blocks and cinched revenue streams can turn modern-day efforts to add parks and fire stations there into sagas.
Some play out in the public eye – like last year's punchy campaign for a skate park – while others stretch out over time, retold to each new neighbor, reporter or politician.

Between West Las Vegas and Robertson, the Meadow City had enough players selected to this year's Class 3A All-State softball team to field a full squad.
Nine locals — seven from West, two from RHS — earned all-state recognition from the New Mexico High School Coaches Association. The lineups were announced this past week by the NMHSCA's Albuquerque-based office.
Lady Dons Marissa Cordova, Montanna Martinez, Larrissa Gallegos, Gabrielle Griego and Ellena Armijo were chosen for the first team.
A benefit mushball tournament will provide fun for participants and help get a Las Vegas resident to the Omaha World Series.
The tourney is a benefit for Nathan Archuleta of Robertson High, who will be playing for Team Under Armour in an exclusive baseball camp and training to be held later this month in Omaha, Neb.
The tournament will be held this coming Saturday, time and location to be announced. It is open to teams of 10, five males and five females per team mandatory. The entry fee per team is $100.

LOS ANGELES — Erik Mattingly pitched six strong innings and Anthony Bemboom homered to lead Creighton to a 7-2 victory over New Mexico on Sunday in an elimination game of the Los Angeles Regional.
Mattingly (3-4) scattered three hits and gave up two runs, and Reese McGraw pitched the final three innings for his fifth save. Josh Walker (8-3) took the loss.

SAN ANTONIO — Look who's unstoppable now.
Forget that incredible San Antonio streak of 20 straight wins. That's ancient history, and the way the Oklahoma City Thunder have taken complete command of the Western Conference finals, the Spurs might soon be finished themselves.
By Greg Beacham
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — Everybody in the sold-out building sensed a crucial moment of the Stanley Cup finals when the New Jersey Devils got a two-man advantage early in a scoreless Game 3. The Devils threw every star and every scheme at the Los Angeles net, desperate for a power-play goal to turn around the series.
Jonathan Quick and his three penalty-killers coolly stopped everything, including the Devils' momentum.
Luke Aragon came away as perhaps the biggest local winner when prep baseball postseason honors were conferred for spring 2012.
Aragon was the lone Meadow City athlete to be named to the All-State baseball squad by the New Mexico High School Coaches Association. He was tabbed to the second team as an outfielder; he also was a key pitcher in the rotation and among the leading hitters for Robertson High and head coach Tony Renon.
Not too many people knew about Michael Ormseth when he left Luna Community College last year.
That is not the case today.
Ormseth led the New Mexico State Aggies to the Western Athletic Conference regular season championship. His seven wins was tops at NMSU this season.
"He is a hard-working kid," said LCC baseball coach Antonio Siqueiros. "He has always done the small things. He got the grades he needed to transfer to a Division I school."

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 18 of his 36 points in a scintillating final 7 minutes, Serge Ibaka added a career-high 26 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder evened the Western Conference finals at two games apiece by beating the San Antonio Spurs 109-103 Saturday night.
After seeing his team's 15-point lead dwindle to four, Durant took over midway through the fourth quarter by scoring all 16 of the Thunder's points during a span of just over 5 minutes to keep the Spurs at bay.

Breast cancer rates have increased by 90 per cent in the last four decades, figures suggest.
In 1971, there were 66 cases for every 100,000 women in England but by 2010 the rate had soared to 126 per 100,000, figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggest.
But the number of women dying from the disease has steadily declined since screening was introduced in 1987.
Charity Breast Cancer UK called on the Government to take action to reduce exposure to cancer-causing chemicals.
Clare Dimmer, chair of Breast Cancer UK, said: "This shocking increase in breast cancer rates over just one generation underlines how vital it is that all the root causes of breast cancer are fully explored.
"Whilst death rates from breast cancer have thankfully decreased, still more and more of us are getting the disease. This epidemic is clearly not down to genetics and lifestyle choices alone.
"Breast Cancer UK calls on the Government to finally start tackling the growing health risk associated with our exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as Bisphenol A, that have been scientifically linked to breast cancer as well as many other diseases, and to take action to ban them.
"Inadequate action by the Government is putting an unacceptable ethical and economic cost on the NHS - and on you and I."
The ONS said that in 2010, 41,259 new cases were diagnosed, 731 more than 2009.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in English women and in 2011 more than 9,700 women died from the disease.

The makeup experts at Sumita have created a versatile eyeliner that exceeds all our tough standards: sensational blending abilities, bold colors, and nonirritating formulas. The soft wax formula goes on smooth to create clean lines or can be smudged to smoky perfection. Plus, the long-lasting liner will hold up all day and night.
I got a different color of this exact eyeliner quite a while ago, and I loved it. This time I received Raina. Though I've never thought about using a navy eyeliner, I do really like this. The formula is perfect - easy to apply and with great staying power (I use it with Urban Decay's Primer Potion). The navy is neat when I want to wear something other than black or brown, but I'm not feeling bright silver (or the like). Highly recommended.5

Again last weekend, I failed to cut my daughter's hair, even though I have repeatedly promised that I would. She is 18 months old, and has bouncy blonde curls that fall in front of her face, causing her to continually blow upwards to clear her knee-high view of the world. She definitely needs her curls cut, yet I cannot bring myself to take the scissors to them. Cutting her hair will be the first sign that she is not a totally natural human being, but being formed.
This cut will be a rite of passage; it is for most of us. My mother still has my first severed dark curl. I, too, will treasure my daughter's. It is the only piece of another human being's body that we can safely own. My boyfriend has a lock of his father's hair, cut as he lay slowly dying. From birth to death, our hair is crucial to life.
In other mammals, hair conserves body heat by insulating against the cold; human hair seems largely to have lost its purpose (still, the average number of hairs on a head is 150,000, growing at a rate of 1cm a month). Yet the arrival of hair, its changing thickness and colour, and eventual, almost inevitable greying and loss are huge landmarks for each of us.
In the womb, we are all covered with a layer of down called lanuga, which is usually shed on or shortly after birth. Over the next first few months, fine, short, unpigmented hairs, called vellus, appear. Vellus covers every part of our bodies except the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet. At puberty, this hair becomes longer, coarse and more heavily pigmented, and is called terminal hair. It appears in all the adult places - armpits, the pubic mound and, in men, on the face, chest and even back. It is at this hirsute stage that we begin to fight against the flow of our locks.
If we are female, we become obsessed with hair removal. Several years ago two American artists, Hannah Bonner and Mary-Charlotte Domandi, conducted a survey using two silhouettes of naked women. On one silhouette, women were asked to shade in the body hair they had naturally; on the other, where they had hair left after removal. The results revealed a secret world of womanly hairiness. Thirty-five per cent of the respondents had moustaches, 30% chin or neck hair. Half had hair on their chests. (The recent Channel 4 billboard advertising the Model Behaviour series - "I let my boyfriend pluck my nipples" - was meant to shock.) Yet on the after-removal silhouettes, all evidence of body hair vanished. As Germaine Greer wrote: "However much body hair a woman has, it is too much."
Men, conversely, become over-concerned about hair loss. Baldness has always implied low social status, an image that the crew cut consciously plays upon. Prisoners, army recruits, Nazi collaborators, and those believed to have lice have all traditionally had their heads forcibly shaved.
Bizarre cures for baldness have abounded. The biblical prophet Elisha resorted to rubbing bear grease on his scalp; Hippocrates applied sheep's urine; the early Romans used chicken dung. Some have resorted to disguise; Julius Caesar pioneered the forward-flowing combover. The only sure-fire way of preventing baldness is castration: eunuchs never go bald.
Every year, new potential cures are marketed. Most recently, Propecia arrived in the UK from America, where it is widely available on private health plans. The NHS, however, considers gradual baldness in men - alopecia androgenetica - a cosmetic, not a medical matter, and currently Propecia has to be bought privately over the internet. But sudden baldness - alopecia areata, which mostly affects women - is regarded as a disease, and long-term sufferers will be treated first with steroid creams; then minoxidil lotion (originally a treatment for high blood pressure until patients discovered their hair started regrowing, too); then, if all else fails, ultraviolet light therapy.
Hierarchies of sex, race and class have all been founded on hair. Examples of the display of power through topknots are numerous: 19th-century racial theories equated "woolly hair" with lower mental abilities; a fashionable style for a Victorian lady would take her maid several hours to execute, a clear display of her status and wealth; the longer a judge's wig, the higher position he may hold.
Next weekend - I promise - I will cut my daughter's hair for the first time. And a lifetime of being judged by her hair length will begin.

February 14, 2:30
For our inaugural production, WholeTone Opera has a vision for a uniquely morbid Valentine's Day experience: La Zombiata by Jillian Flexner, a brilliant new comedic opera in one act based loosely on Verdi's La Traviata.
WTO's mission for this production is to immerse the audience in a romantic dystopia filled with brain noshing, ballroom dancing zombies. Our story begins in a Parisian penthouse infested an undead hoard lead by Xenobia, huntress of humans. As the minions mingle at a bloody ballroom, romantically inclined Christolpho meets the ravenous-yet-rapturous Philonia. Suddenly all-too-human emotions come into play, leading to chaos, comedy, and a splash-zone-worthy soiree.
About Us
WholeTone Opera seeks to highlight female composers and artists. We hope to join forces with other local opera companies in the process of revitalizing Boston's opera community, offering alternative productions with fresh, gripping performances. We rehearse in Somerville at WholeTone Studios near Davis Square.

Cor Stutterheim, CMG chairman, admitted that worries about the year 2000 computer bug might cause companies to put projects on hold in the second half. However, he stressed that CMG's long-term ties with customers meant it would continue to outperform the market.
Chris Banks, finance director, said: "Public perception may be of a slowdown in some areas, but we don't see any reason for a slowdown. Demand remains strong."
CMG reported pre-tax profits of pounds 57.5m for the year to December, comfortably ahead of analysts' expectations. Excluding goodwill amortisation and exchange rates, profits grew 58 per cent.
The growth was helped by a sharp rise in margins in CMG's business in the Benelux, its most important geographical area. However, Mr Banks warned that margins - which hit 18.4 per cent last year - were likely to fall to 14 to 16 per cent in the next few years. The company expects to increase margins at its fledgling divisions in France and Germany.
Mr Stutterheim said CMG would continue to expand through acquisitions in continental Europe, but was not interested in buying in the US.
Analysts yesterday upgraded profit forecasts for the company to around pounds 75m, which puts the shares - up 59p at 1812p yesterday - on a forward earnings multiple of about 45. Although CMG is considered one of the highest- quality IT stocks, most analysts believe that at this level the shares are no more than a hold.Reuse content

January is also Train Your Dog Month, so we gathered some quick tips on training your pup:
1. Keep on training throughout your pet's life. Its a common misconception that once you're done training your dog, you can stop. Dogs learn throughout their lives and you should reinforce their training.
2. Be a confident leader. Your dog needs a confident and calm leader. This doesn't mean you should be dominant and submissive toward your dog, but build their confidence. You should encourage that by rewarding them for their good behavior and reinforcing it.
3. Keep your dog exercising and active. Exercising your dog daily is a great way to train them to socialize with other dogs and people and practice commands. Picking an activity that both you enjoy can keep your dog from becoming bored. Grab a ball or a training dummy to practice those commands!
4. Have fun with your dog. Continue playing with your dog for a stress reliever, as well as training your four-legged friend to be successful in a human world.
This wraps up our tips to help train your dog. Just remember, have fun!

Debug compile errors for existing C++ code
This project received 13 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $30 USD / hour.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids13
Project Description
I have a set of 44 C++ files that were coded by another person. These 44 files comprise a code system that features 2 environments (cart-pole and grid world), 5 different learning algorithms, and interfaces between the agents/control algorithms and environments, as well as various header files.
This set of code is *supposed* to work when compiled using the GCC c++ compiler (e.g. on a Cygwin platform). However, instead of compiling, I receive a list of "out of scope" error messages. These errors indicate that certain variables or functions are being used before being declared. I have the full list of 5 compile error out-of-scope messages, and this job involves modifying the necessary files to solve these compile errors.
This *should* be a straightforward debugging task for an experienced C++ programmer. It may take only a few minutes to solve, or longer, depending on whether additional compiler errors appear after the initial set of 5 is solved. This job will be complete when both environment examples compile and run correctly (via existing Makefile, using 2 different "make XXXX" statements), and the deliverable will be the revised set of 44 C++ files that compile and run, and your list of modifications made to this code.

Here on business trip. Very good Shepard's Pie. Generous amount. While there, a wine/painting event was getting set up. Seemed like a fun place. Good food, good service, good location in Bath.

We had a lovely warm evening meal on a cold and rainy evening. Our waiter was very accommodating and friendly. She helped us decide on some of the menu items.

Good food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly bartender, Irish music. Try the chili! Also good salmon salad. Nice evening.
This was the first bar we went to on vacation and I loved it. We stopped in before going to dinner to have a few drinks.

I've ever been here twice and both times have been a good experience. The place looks like a pub that might be more about drinking than decent food, but both times our party has been very satisfied. Good food, great service, and a real pub atmosphere.

Today's Specials: Mizzou-Louisville highlight loaded slate
|Missouri's Laurence Bowers, Alex Oriakhi and Phil Pressey might find it difficult to solve Louisville's defense. (US Presswire)
Hope everyone is recovered from their Thanksgiving feast and ensuing slumber -- because Friday has a loaded slate of games. There's a top-15 showdown, along with several ranked teams who will be tested. The NFL had Thursday; college hoops gets Friday.
Note: All times are Eastern, and the rankings are according to the AP Poll.
Best game: No. 13 Missouri vs. No. 2 Louisville (9:30 p.m., NBC Sports Network). Big-time showdown in the Bahamas. My colleague, Jeff Goodman, will be there to cover it live -- if he decides to get off the beach at some point. Both teams are still looking to hit on all cylinders, as Missouri is meshing returnees, newcomers and guys coming back from injury. Louisville's offense was typically anemic against Northern Iowa on Thursday night, but the Cardinals' defense is as good as ever. Missouri has a lot of offensive weapons, but Louisville forces teams to knock down shots from the perimeter and doesn't allow easy shots inside the arc. Phil Pressey can get out of control some times -- and Louisville loves forcing turnovers. This should be a good one.
Second-best game: No. 5 Duke vs. VCU (7 p.m., NBC Sports Network). Could have gone with Minnesota and No. 19 Memphis in this slot as well (1:00 p.m., NBC Sports Network), but it's better to go with the winner's bracket games. Duke pulled away down the stretch against Minnesota on Thursday to win by 18, with Mason Plumlee dominating the interior. VCU doesn't have a ton of size, but their length and athleticism will need to slow down Plumlee. On the other side, VCU harassed Joe Jackson into a horrible day -- will they do the same to Quinn Cook?
Another one to watch: Kansas State vs. No. 4 Michigan (4:30 p.m., ESPN). Neither team looked great on Wednesday, but they both did what they needed to do to advance. Kansas State's offense is still predicated upon getting offensive rebounds or scoring off turnovers in transition. The Wildcats didn't let Delaware run anything in the half-court. Meanwhile, Michigan showed a newfound physicality and toughness, and also demonstrated it could win games without lighting it up from 3-point range.
Guaranteed win: Most of the ranked teams have tough tests on Friday, but No. 3 Ohio State isn't in that group. The Buckeyes get to play UMKC in a game they should easily win (6 p.m., Big Ten Network). The Kangaroos lost by 39 to Seton Hall -- and Ohio State is a heckuva lot better than Seton Hall.
Potential upset: I know everyone expects me to go with Delaware over Pittsburgh (2:30 p.m., ESPN), but I can't be a homer every night. So I'm going to say to keep an eye on Oklahoma vs. No. 17 Gonzaga (7:30 p.m., ESPN2). Gonzaga didn't look great in its win over Clemson on Thursday night, and Oklahoma has a lot of solid pieces this season. Steven Pledger was the go-to-guy a year ago, but he's taking on less of a role this season with guys like Buddy Hield picking up the slack.
Three things to keep an eye on:
- Two disciplined, well-coached teams will square off when No. 14 Creighton and Wisconsin battle (10 p.m, ESPN2). What will Bo Ryan have up his sleeve for Doug McDermott?
- The Global Sports Classic is an underrated four-team tournament this season. On Friday, the matchups are Iowa State vs. No. 22 Cincinnati (6:30 p.m., CBS College Sports) and Oregon at No. 18 UNLV (9 p.m., CBS College Sports).
- Davidson couldn't pull it out against New Mexico during the 24-hour marathon, but the Wildcats can send another message by beating West Virginia (12:30 p.m. ESPN).

Lawrence Osborne is in "headlong flight". Bangkok, he discovers, is the perfect asylum for one such as himself: broke, with no career and no prospects. What he does have is an "inquisitive loitering", useful since the "streets are cul-de-sacs so there is no point in having a direction".
Stylistic loitering guides – or rather, fails to guide – this narrative, made up of Osborne's amusing observations. Built in much the same way as those cul-de-sacs, one often feels as if wandering lost, but some reflective or arresting description will thankfully be waiting. His evocation is comic rather than romantic; the river surging past his apartment is "the colour of pea soup into which a baby has puked". He vividly sketches the characters he meets: a man with a degree in air-conditioning, one with an air of "upper-class twittery". Another contrasts the physicality of Bangkok life with the isolation of Western life: "There's a reason we're so neurotic and violent and unhappy ... no one ever touches us." Osborne's travelogue is, however, memorably touching.

|[jira] [Updated] (DERBY-5359) Missing xmlns attribute for html element in docs
|Mon, 20 Aug 2012 13:52:38 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5359?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-5359: -------------------------------------- Attachment: xmlns.diff I thought I'd pick up the remaining tasks in this issue (that is, the table of contents and the topics) since there hasn't been any activity for some time. I first tried to add an xmlns attribute to the <xsl:stylesheet> tag in lib/map2htmtoc.xsl and lib/dita2htmlImpl.xsl. This did make the resulting xhtml files include an xmlns attribute in the <html> tag, and the fix was sufficient for the table of contents. However, with the topics, I ran into the same problem that Kim observed in DERBY-4408, with some other tags being output with xmlns="". That problem is caused by dita2htmlImpl.xsl including some other XSL files, which also lack the xmlns attribute and need a similar fix. We haven't yet copied those files from DITA-OT to the lib directory. Instead of checking in modified copies of those files in the subversion repository, I made the Ant script make the changes before the docs are built using the ReplaceRegExp task. See the attached patch xmlns.diff. I built the reference manual using the patch and diffed the resulting html files against html files built from a clean trunk, and verified that adding an xmlns attribute to the <html> tag was the only change. I also ran a random selection of html files through http://validator.w3.org and they all passed as valid XHTML now. Finally, I browsed the new version of the reference manual using Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer without finding any problems. > Missing xmlns attribute for html element in docs > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-5359 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5359 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Documentation > Affects Versions: 10.9.1.0 > Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen > Assignee: Jayaram Subramanian > Attachments: derby5359.diff, derby5359-ref.diff, derby5359-ref-stat.txt, files-derby5359.zip, html.zip, xmlns.diff > > > The html files in the documentation that are declared as XHTML don't pass as valid XHTML because the html elements lack the xmlns attribute.

The whole Sanusi Lamido bunch are a legacy of bare-faced truth to a fault.
Sanusi, as a Central Bank Governor, stood up and told Nigerians the truth. That was some years ago.
He stood up there and kept telling the truth but he was eventually forced to resign from his office.
But Nigerians knew he was telling the truth about the imminent danger our economy was about to face.
Now, we are lazy enough in this country to even consider…even consider, ignoring his warnings and even mute a trial.
Is the Emir a saint? No! But he is one of the more straightforward traditional leaders we have in this country.
To us, it's just plain ludicrous…just plain crazy that anyone would even consider supporting the notion of throwing his advice to the bin.
Read Also: Protesting NYSC members barricades Emir Sanusi's envoy.
Well, the Emir took to one of his social media handles and made a shocking statement.
Many would not agree, but he is well ahead of most Nigerians in his thoughts.
To cut the chase, the Emir stated this: "Nigerians need Lagos state more than Niger Delta!
He noted that after sometime, oil will be worthless in Nigeria just like coal lost its value some 50 years ago.
He wrote: "The Lagos story is a story of what Nigeria can do with itself – transparency, consistency, regulations.
"That's why today Lagos state is 30% Nigerian non-oil GDP, and Lagos can do without oil.
"This country is better off with Lagos than with the Niger Delta.
"Let's not make that mistake. We should be together as a country.
"Every part of the country is important.
Read Also: Buhari orders for Emir Sanusi's and Soludo's probe.
"But, let us not be so obsessed by a resource, because we have had the commodity driven model, and we are blind to the potentials of an alternative model.
"Lagos doesn't need oil. What is oil anyway? It is a raw material. You don't drink it.
"You need it to move your vehicles. Now, you have electricity.
"You need it to fill your generator. Now you have solar power, and biomass.
"The future of oil is not there.
"So, those few people who are trying to break up this country over oil, after sometime that oil will be worthless – Muhammadu Sanusi II," he stated.

The CDF experiment at the Tevatron (Fermilab)
The particle physics community is buzzing about a blog posted by a University of Padua (Italy) physicist saying that he's been hearing rumors about a "light Higgs boson" discovery at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois.
Tommaso Dorigo, a physicist and blogger who is no stranger to controversy, posted a blog titled "Rumors About A Light Higgs" saying, "an experiment at the Tevatron is about to release some evidence of a light Higgs boson signal."
The UK's Telegraph was quick to declare that the Tevatron "has found Higgs boson" but New Scientist was more cautious, speculating that there might be a big announcement coming soon.
SLIDE SHOW: Top 5 Misconceptions About the Large Hadron Collider.
WATCH VIDEO: Discovery News investigates how and why the Large Hadron Collider is smashing protons together at record energies.
Dorigo goes into some detail about hearing "voices about a possible new "three-sigma" Higgs effect" but points out that "others do not make explicit claims but talk of a unexpected result."
So at least we know where we stand: This is simply a rumor, coming from a research group (or groups) suggesting compelling evidence for the detection of a Higgs boson event.
The aging Tevatron particle accelerator — the second largest particle collider in the world — is set for retirement and will be superseded by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland.
One of the LHC's main goals is to find the Higgs particle, the boson that gives matter its mass. However, if the LHC doesn't find the Higgs, the Standard Model of particle physics may not be correct, indicating that we may need to look at more exotic theories to understand how the Universe works.
ANALYSIS: What is the Higgs Boson?
The prospect of not discovering the Higgs boson is attractive to many physicists because if it doesn't exist, a revolution in physics awaits, and which scientist doesn't love discovering something unexpected?
"Actually I am not really a big Higgs fan, but something has to be doing the job of making the electromagnetic force look so different from the weak force at everyday energies," said Jon Butterworth, an LHC physicist working with the ATLAS detector, in an interview with Discovery News last year.
"If it's not the Higgs doing it, it is something more exotic, and our theories are wrong. That would be exciting."
But say if the nearly-retired Tevatron discovered the Higgs before the LHC could even reach full Higgs-hunting capacity? Needless to say, when you have two "competing" high-energy particle accelerators on either side of the Atlantic, there's bound to be some rumors.
" fly around quite a bit," Butterworth told me in light of today's new whisperings about a possible Higgs discovery by the Tevatron. "If it's not in the coffee room, it's on Twitter."
Butterworth urged caution before listening to any rumor circulating about the Higgs boson.
"Anyone can spread rumors," he said. "The way we normally do things protects people from 'noise' in the system. If we announced everything that looked interesting, people would get excited for a few days until follow-up results told us something totally different."
"It's best to wait for an official announcement as it keeps things in perspective."
But what is all this discussion about a "three-sigma event"? Is it significant?
"Three-sigma events happen occasionally, especially when you look at a lot of data," said Sean Carroll, senior research associate in the Department of Physics at Caltech. "But it could be real."
Three-sigma refers to the statistical certainty of a given result. In this case, the rumored result is supposed to have a 99.7 percent chance of being correct (and a 0.3 percent chance of being wrong).
"Three-sigma isn't seen as a 'discovery,' but it would be strong evidence for the existence of the Higgs," Butterworth added. "Really, a 'five-sigma' is classed as a discovery. Five-sigma is the 'Gold Standard.'"
Also, this "three-sigma" claim arose from a rumor that may or may not be substantiated.
Carroll also urged caution about Dorigo's dramatic blog post: "I would be inclined to wait until there was some actual announcement, rather than just rumors on the internet, before taking it seriously."
So, it looks like we'll have to wait until scientists present their research at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) in Paris on July 22 before we start getting too excited.
Special thanks to Dave Mosher for the tip about this rumored rumor.

SITT. Specialist Independent Traders Tasting. I was there's a couple of weeks ago. Hanging out at the Adnams / Haughton stand, table 51. Haughton is Adnams, they changed the name a year or so ago, but are still known as both really, but they are phasing Haughton out. I've no idea where Haughton came from historically, but the Adnams Agency seems a much more sensible name to me. Adnams act as agency for quite a few wineries which lots of people probably didn't realise. It's why they have an interesting, unique selection of wines!
Anyway, we had a selection of our agency wines for show to industry types, distributors and smaller, independent wine merchants, generally outside of the cross-over zones with the Adnams Cellar & Kitchen retail stores in East Anglia. The first one was in Manchester, we stayed at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, overlooking the actual pitch. Cool huh?
Our agency wines, and the ones were were showing, include:
-Forrest Wines, New Zealand
-Juniper Wines, Margaret River, Australia
-Endrizzi, Italy
-Saronsberg Estate, Tulbagh, South Africa.
Forrest Wines, they have vineyards all over NZ, we were showing their Otago Pinot Noir, 'Collection' Syrah and three Rieslings. John is such a fan of Riesling! We had single vineyard dry Riesling, Mosel style 'Dr's Riesling' and the stunning dessert wine, his Botryised Riesling.
Juniper Estate. Some of the best wine made in Australia come from this region, we were showing the Chardonnay, the fresh Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc, or as the Aussies cleverly call it, SSB, then the Estate & Crossing Shiraz ans Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Their Estate wines are 100% estate fruit and the Crossing wines include bought parcels from other vineyards.
Thomas from Endrizzi was with us on the London day and it was really interesting to get o hear him talking to people so passionately about his wines. They are based in Trentino in north-western Italy and do everything Organically and Biodynamically. We had their fab Pinot Grigio along side two Tetrroldego based reds. The grape is only really grown in this region and proved one of the most popular wines at both events. One is a young vibrant version, but still interesting, the other is and Amarone style where they dry the grapes for three months, the Gran Masetto ends up being a 15.5%, serious beast. Delicious. The other two wines were their Serpia di Endrizzi wines from Tuscany. I've mentioned the Morellino di Scansano before which is 100% Sangiovese, which I love, but also the Serpaiolo 'Super-Tuscan' Merlot/Cab/Sangiovese blend, which is very different, bigger than a usual Tuscan with full bodied dark fruit flavours.
Finally the Saronsberg Winery in Tulbagh, situated at the foot of the Saronsberg mountain, about 50 miles north of the Cape. They are one of the most consistently awarded wineries in South Africa! Their Shiraz is absolutely top noth, as is their heavilly oak influenced Viognier. I love Viognier and it is one of my absolute favourites.
Anyway, we had a blast, lots of interesting people met, lots more other interesting wines tasted. I haven't got time for name dropping of any kind, people or wines.
