Let $M$ be an object in an $k$-linear abelian category with enough projectives. Then one can construct an $A_\infty$-structure on the Ext algebra $$Ext^\bullet(M,M)$$ as follows: One chooses projective resolution $P\rightarrow M$ and forms the Hom complex $$Hom^\bullet (P,P)$$ Now the cohomology of this complex is the Ext algebra and in the case where $k$ is a field, one can choose a "homotopy retraction" $Ext^\bullet(M,M)\rightarrow Hom^\bullet (P,P)$ and transfer the dg-algebra structure on $Hom^\bullet (P,P)$ along it.
My questions are:
- Why does this construction (up to $A_\infty$-isomorphism) not depend on a choice of projective resolution?
- One could try the same thing with an injective resolution, why is the result still the same?

In a world that's complicated enough, the affordably priced PermaFocus binos are a relief for simple, fixed-focus, long-distance viewing. The wider field-of-view makes them ideal for spectator sports, distant wildlife observation or winter use with gloves. Thanks to quality fully-coated optics the action is bright and crisp and the ergonomic rubber housing means you won't drop them - even with gloves on.
* Note: Focus-free models are designed for viewing distant subjects. The close focus limit is subjective and dependent on the user's eyesight.

As you probably know if you read my blog at all, I recently main switched from my Resto Druid to my Hunter. I'm the GM of my guild, but our main-switching rules apply to me too. I had to go through a 9-raid initiate period, complete with pitfalls of being on trial – last in priority for loot, get sat for a lot of progression kills. I had an Initiate thread where people could comment on my hunter skills, though mine was different from most – I'm the guild forum admin, so the thread couldn't be kept secret from me like it is for most people. Not too many people left comments in there, whether it was because they had nothing to say or because they were afraid to leave comments that I could see I can only speculate.
Thursday was my 9th raid, and on Sunday I officially passed my trial so Jasy is up to full raider status, and I made her the GM of Apotheosis. Yay!
It was a bit tough going at the start. I wasn't really doing anything wrong (other than insisting on playing Survival in my first raid), but the gear gap between me and the rest of the raiders made such a huge difference. I think I was around ilvl 520 when I started my trial, with no legendary cloak or meta-gem, and a weapon from Terrace. My gear didn't get a whole lot better in the first half of my trial. I won a few pieces of loot that no one else wanted in the first week – a helm, gloves I couldn't wear because it would break my 2-piece bonus. I did get my legendary meta-gem quickly though, which helped a little. In the 2nd week I won a really shitty trinket (Female Dwarf tells me it's better than the LFR Rentaki's I was wearing, but it's still not good). The first two weeks on my hunter were a bit demoralizing.
Finally, in my 7th raid, I hit bonus roll paydirt and coined a Warforged bow. Equipping it increased my top end damage by something ridiculous like 60% and my output skyrocketed. I wasn't last anymore! My gear only improved from there, as I was able to get my legendary cloak in time for my 8th raid. In my 9th raid I coined a Warforged trinket of awesome and won some nice heroic thunderforged pants off Norushen. In 9 raids I went from terribly undergeared, to the 8th best geared dps in the raid. I really need to remember this next time I start whining about loot rolls, without them I'd still be using that Terrace weapon and have no good trinkets.
So I'm feeling much better about being a hunter now. My gear is good, and once I get my 4-set bonus and a 2nd, not terrible, trinket I'm pretty certain I'll be able to beat the rest of the dps (gauntlet thrown).
Since I've passed my trial and have the gear to not be a liability I'm going to do some experimenting with the other specs on farm content. I'd really like to be anything other than Beast Master. I'm feeling good with my performance on single target fights and AoE fights. The only fights I have a bit of an issue with are fights like General Nazgrim – mostly single target, but often with 3 spread out mobs up at a time. I think I could be doing better on those. If anyone has tips for fights like that I'd love to hear them.

jimstark necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 8 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
Our company - http://www.starkyenterprises.com - is a successful, hip, young and rapidly moving company which has been involved primarily in e-commerce and Internet Marketing for the past 5 years. This job is for a specific new project under Starky Enterprises called "Not Your Average Lawyer". Our previous designer (which we met in 99designs) is busy with another one of our jobs, so we are reaching out again.
We have used graphic designers to create sites such as http://www.altitudeshoes.com/, http://cutestlayouts.com/, http://www.digivisits.com/ and many other sites. We forge long term relationships with designers that we like. Note that we are looking for a completely different look and feel from these above sites.
http://www.notyouraveragelawyer.com (the project for which these designs relate) is a company formed by the owners of Starky Enterprises.
The aim in this project is to give hope and direction to people who want to escape the rat race or get out of their dead end jobs. We want to inspire people to achieve this success via lessons and stories on the blog.
http://www.notyouraveragelawyer.com is a resource / blog for young, hopeful and fun-loving professionals (between the ages of 21 - 35) who either (1) want to get out of their current job and live an adventurous and entrepreneurial lifestyle (2) are interested in self improvement, productivity or (3) want to follow an adventurous lifestyle as "fans".
The site was designed to be adventurous, fun and different, while not compromising on functionality. The designs that we are looking for MUST reflect this. Quirky and cool designs are encouraged. Extensions of the "hand written" feel of the blog are also encouraged.
Guideline sites are
These are loose examples and the look, feel and content of http://www.notyouraveragelawyer.com will obviously be very different.
(1) A creative header designed for http://www.notyouraveragelawyer.com. This will replace the current "Not Your Average Lawyer" header/logo (which is simply a placeholder & not an official logo). The most important thing is that the header enhances the site "feel" (i.e. the fun, adventurous and "hand written" feel). The header must contain (1) the name Not Your Average Lawyer (2) the logo "When 9 to 5 Is Not Enough" (3) a Twitter caption box for twitter updates (see below). The header should be 1010px by 145px. I have attached a .pst as a guide. The MAIN logo should be contained within the BLUE area. Any overhangs on the image should be contained within the GREEN area.
Note - the twitter bird & "Follow Me On Twitter" text which currently intrude onto the right of the header can be removed. Alternatively, they can be used so that the bird, instead of saying "Follow Me On Twitter", says the status update box.
(2) 4 banners designed for http://www.notyouraveragelawyer.com in place of the current banners. Use the text in the current banners if possible, but more important is that the banners fit with the "feel" of the existing site. Interesting & cool designs are encouraged. Dimensions are 700px x 245px. Pictures used in the current banners can be used (attached), but feel free to use any other designs/pictures. There is no advantage for using the existing/supplied pictures.

Quinta Do Vallado 2007

Quinta do Vallado, established in 1716, is one of the oldest and most famous "Quintas" in the Douro Valley. It once belonged to the legendary D. Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, and still belongs to the family of her descendants. It lies on both banks of the Corgo river, a tributary to the Douro river, right near to its mouth, close to the town of Peso da Régua. For almost 200 years, Quinta do Vallado's main activity was the production of Port wines that were sold to the Ferreira Port House (belonging to the Ferreira family). At that time Ferreira bottled and sold the wines under its own brands. Following Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira's great achievement, her great grand-son Jorge Viterbo Ferreira, and his son Jorge Cabral Ferreira were the main architects of the further development of the Quinta's vineyards and winery. Departing from the centuries-old tradition of selling the farm's production to the Ferreira Portwine House, in 1993, under the direction of Guilherme Álvares Ribeiro and his wife Maria Antónia Ferreira, the company decided to extend the business towards the production, bottling and commercialization of own-label wines. Also in 1993, under the guidance of Prof . Nuno Magalhães, the farm started a deep restructuring of its vines, with the objective of both increasing the production of high quality grape varieties, and the adoption of vine plantation and training systems permitting better growth and an easier mechanization of works. The new vines were planted in clearly defined areas, breaking with the tradition of mixing different varieties in the same vineyard. The homogenization of treatment, ripening and picking times made for a clear improvement in processes and translated into a much more regular, easy to control and economically effective quality production. One of the new methods introduced was to make a general preliminary survey of the crop. This permits to prune out surplus clusters from some of the high-producing varieties, while still green, greatly enhancing the quality and the richness of the remaining grapes. With 44 ha of vineyards aged from 6 to 10 years and having kept 26 ha of the best old plots, more than 80-years old, Francisco Olazabal (oenologist) and Francisco Ferreira (head of agricultural management) have taken the farm to international acclaimed levels of quality and recognition. As the new vineyards reach their adult age and the knowledge of each variety and plot deepens, the expectations grow: The owners believe Quinta do Vallado will make a huge qualitative leap in the next 5 to 10 years.

The Stevens Summer Boosts Brains, Forms Friendships and Makes College Applications Stand Out
How did you spend your summer vacation?
Did you produce a 3-D music video? Stress-test hockey gloves? Design a bridge truss? Trade stocks? Record an original song?
The participants in the Stevens Summer program, the university's renowned residential pre-college experience for high school students, did all of those things and more. The unique program, held annually on the Stevens campus overlooking the Manhattan skyline, gives talented high school students from across the U.S. their first taste of college life in vibrant Hoboken, which has been ranked a top college town by The Princeton Review.
"The Stevens Summer is pre-college high school program for rising juniors and rising seniors who want to experience the different disciplines that they can pursue for an undergraduate degree," said Marsha Melnyk, director of summer programs at Stevens. "The variety of different programs allows students to gain exposure to the many fields that are available to them."
The Stevens Summer features five distinct programs taught by Stevens' distinguished faculty members and Ph.D. students – Engineering and Science (ECOES), Multimedia, Business, Computer Science and Pre-Med. Each program introduces high school students to a potential field of study through a project-based, hands-on curriculum and access to cutting-edge research facilities and technologies. The programs even include corporate site visits and interactions with working professionals in each field, including Stevens alumni. Getting an inside look at this breadth of potential disciplines helps participants understand what they want to major in during college or even pursue as a lifelong career.
ECOES participants learn first-hand what it means to be a scientist or engineer by working in teams to control robotic technologies and design and build bridges and other innovations. They use top-of-the-line engineering design tools in state-of-the-art scientific laboratories.
"We offered modules on nanotechnology, environmental engineering, biomedical engineering, civil engineering and so on," said Frank Fisher, professor of mechanical engineering. "Students got hands experience with some of our design labs that are core components of our undergraduate curriculum and were exposed to some of the research equipment in multi-user research labs that our graduate students and Ph.D. students are using for their research. There were also opportunities for students to network and have on site visits with local engineering and science firms."
Just ten minutes from the financial capital of the world, Business students gain a background in marketing, finance, management, entrepreneurship and more. They get to work in Stevens' Hanlon Financial Systems Lab, which recreates a real-world trading floor environment. And they engage in team projects which culminate in presentations to executives.
"Our students have access to everything Stevens has to offer in the way of technology and resources," said Ann Murphy, associate dean of the Howe School of Technology Management. "Throughout the week we cover all of the main, core areas of business, so the end of the week the students really do have a strong understanding of business and know what it's like to study business and also be a business professional."
"The Stevens Business program was all encompassing," said student Aziza Khalfani. "It covered various aspects of business like marketing and information systems. We even used the Hanlon Financial Systems Lab to do a stock simulation. It had a vast amount of computers set up to simulate the New York Stock Exchange itself, so we were able to buy stocks and see how buying and selling stock at different times would hurt or help our chances of getting a stock at a good price."
Computer Science students learn the leading programming languages which play an increasingly significant role in today's digitized and information-driven era. They dabble in web technologies, cybersecurity, digital imaging and system administration.
"In the computer science intensive program we try to teach the students a variety of different things that you can do in the field of computer science," said Steven Gabarro, assistant teaching professor of computer science. "We cover web development, cryptology, system administration and imaging."
"We were given laptops on day one and from there we learned how to use different programs for languages like Java and PHP," said student Casey Carratala.
In the Multimedia program – for students interested in visual and audio arts – a Media Arts Center, green screen room and professional recording studio serve as the classrooms in which students create soundtracks and produce videos in three dimensions, often under the instruction of top producers and artists.
"Our multimedia students work through the entire process of recording a song and creating a 3-D video," said Brian Moriarty, teaching assistant professor of art and technology. "They use the latest in 3D technologies including cameras, display technologies and 3D television projectors."
"We secured professional recording studios for different parts of the process so students are exposed to numerous different audio environments," said Rob Harari, teaching associate professor of music and technology. "Then we are able to teach theory that is applied to any audio environment you might work in, so the student really understands the most important thing in moving forward in this discipline is understanding the theory."
"There's always equipment to work with. It's always hands on. And we learn in the field and that's what I love," said student Matthew Brojock. "We got to go to an off-site recording studio and record with a real band. There is so much technology and equipment. We worked with the newest high end Macs and soundboards. It's just so cool to see the process."
The Pre-Med program, which is new this year, provides students with the foundation in science and technology to become successful medical professionals. Projects include DNA analysis, neural control of prosthetics and 3-D printing of robotic hands.
"It was really interesting to see how you could combine the engineering and the medical aspects into one career," said student Samantha Martino.
Next year, the Stevens Summer will launch even a new track in Gaming, in which students will conceive of and develop interactive, educational video games to learn engineering concepts.
Beyond the classroom, Stevens Summer participants experience the excitement of dormitory life before they embark on the next stage of their lives – college. Many current Stevens students who are former participants in the Stevens Summer serve as counselors. They lead a range of social activities – from excursions to New York City's world-famous tourist destinations to fun volleyball and bowling competitions – and relive their own Stevens Summer experience, in which they made lasting friendships, made their college applications stand out, and refined their college plans.
"You get to live the campus life, the college life," said student Lydia Vera. "You get to do everything a college student does. You get the real experience."

Readers split over Detroit Institute of Arts special fees
While an Oakland County official eyes a potential fight with the Detroit Institute of Arts over fees charged to the public, The Macomb Daily's online readers are divided over whether the DIA misled voters who supported the museum's new tri-county tax.
Tom Guastello, a new DIA board member from Oakland County, said the arts institute has lost some credibility by promising free admission if the millage passed and then placing caveats on that promise for certain events.
EDITORIAL: Election shows reduction of city-suburban divide
A former state representative and senator from Sterling Heights, Guastello said that under a system in which the museum charges for entrance to special exhibits, "'free admission' means nothing." He was referring to written agreements reached by the DIA with Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties to provide free admission to tri-county residents following the August millage approval. Those agreements did not spell out exceptions to the free offer.
"This is destroying the good will of the DIA," said Guastello, chairman of the Oakland County Arts Institute Authority, which oversees the collection and disbursement of DIA tax dollars from Oakland County. "This is completely contrary to our contract and the intent of the voters."
DIA officials insist that it was widely understood prior to the vote that special exhibitions, as in the past, will still involve a ticket price separate from general admission. The current exhibition of 200 Faberge artifacts from 20th Century Russian aristocracy costs $15 for adults, $8 for children.
When the museum's 0.2-mill tax was up for approval in the summer, DIA officials offered the carrot of free entrance to the facility. The subsequent agreements signed with the three counties promised "unlimited free museum admission."
Questions about the discrepancy were first raised last week by Macomb County Commissioner Roland Fraschetti, a St. Clair Shores Republican.
At the Macomb County Executive's Office, officials said their understanding was that the DIA contracts did not convert the special exhibits into free events. Assistant County Executive Melissa Roy said that Stan Simek, chairman of the Macomb County Arts Institute Authority, agrees with that assessment.
"It was very clear to us that the millage campaign referred to free admission to the museum, not special events. We understood that, crystal clear," Roy said.
On The Macomb Daily Facebook page, readers were asked whether they understood that special exhibits still require a fee, or if they assumed that all the museum's offerings are free. The responses were split.
Amy Claeys said the top-tier exhibits have always cost extra and it is "irresponsible" for the Daily to give readers the impression that there is a downside to attending the DIA which they did not know about.
Scot Holloway countered: "Never mind that they didn't need the money. Shouldn't have been passed ... and so what, Amy, if you had to pay $35 to get in? What is irresponsible is taking MY money, for things that should be privately funded!"
Thomas R. Mill said: "Become a member and those things are included. The (Faberge) exhibit was awesome."
Courtney Helberg Tozzi responded: "Art should be privately funded!"
On Thursday, the DIA announced that it has received an $80,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support its upcoming "Shirin Neshat" exhibition, which opens April 7, 2013. The exhibit features still photography and video installations by contemporary Iranian-American artist Shirin Neshat.
On Tuesday, December 11, the museum is offering a free showing of the Faberge exhibition between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The DIA has advertised the exhibit in the Detroit newspapers but the price of admission is not included in those ads.
On Thursday, museum officials announced that "exquisite, handmade holiday decorations" inspired by the Faberge exhibition will adorn the museum through early January. Created by the DIA's Friends of Art and Flowers auxiliary, there are nearly 100 decorations throughout the museum, including a 14-foot topiary containing 150 handmade ornaments, 10 holiday wreaths, and two bejeweled obelisks.
On the Daily's Facebook page, Heidi Patterson Drahos said, "There is no effective way to increase income or run a successful business by giving your product away 'completely free' to 3.8 million people (rough tally of the census numbers for three counties). This is shameful 'news reporting'. The Art Institute is not an entitlement."
Jean Fitzell Persely said she is not surprised that special exhibit fees will continue.
"I was unaware of the additional fees for additional exhibits and am surprised that I didn't see this info in our face prior to the vote (not that I went searching, either, which really was my responsibility). I understand that these are 'special exhibits' that travel to various museums, and therefore incur additional costs to the museum. I am not surprised there are additional fees -- more surprised that it took several weeks to make the news. I figured there would be some 'catch.' Nothing is ever really free."
Daniel Jones offered this: "You're right, it's not an entitlement, at least before they started taking taxpayers money. That whole situation is a crock of stuff."
Robaleen Bogden weighed in: "That is why I voted NO! I would only go to the special exhibits."
Catherine E. Jones Parker said: "It is no different than the Henry Ford -- yes you can be a member and get in -- but if there is a special exhibit (Titanic) then you will pay more."
Jerry Orlando sounded unhappy: "We, the public, got hosed again!"
Christopher Utykanski offered this slap at the DIA officials: "The Henry Ford hasn't forced everyone to pay for its upkeep and over blown management salaries. Remember, in Macomb County this only passed by the thinnest of margins. If 1,500 people changed their votes it would have been defeated. So, half the people are forcing the other half to pay for something. Of the people that voted NO I bet a number of them actually go to the DIA, they just are against a MANDATORY payment, rather than DISCRETIONARY."
Diane Bond said DIA criticism is unwarranted: "I would be pleasantly surprised if exhibits were free!! There's always a charge for special exhibits/events, even with a membership to the (Detroit) Zoo."
Regardless of general admission that is free of charge, Gail Mankiewicz opposes the entire concept of government support for a museum: "I voted against the millage. I believe that those who love the arts should support the arts. We are being taxed to death."
Claeys, who commented several times, said she believes anti-Detroit sentiments are clouding the judgment of some taxpayers.
"I do not understand why people wouldn't want to fund the arts," she wrote. "And not some crackpot 'art studio' that does some super 'modern art' that no one understands ... but the classics. Rembrandt. Van Gogh, Egyptian art ... these are all things that tell us 'where we were' and tell us 'how we got here,' and I think everyone should spend some time there. Even in you have to go in all negative just because you are 'forced' to pay for it' ... Go and enjoy it. And be GRATEFUL that this great institution is here for you to enjoy."

I while ago I picked my England team from 1990 to today. Now, with one or two alterations, I propose to send it to War with the best Aussie team of the last 23 years.
1. Gooch
2. Trescothick
3. Atherton (C)
4. Pieterson
5. Thorpe
6. Stewart +
7. Flintoff
8. Swann
9. Gough
10. Caddick
11. Fraser
Now, I know this offends a degree of wisdom. But Warne, in his 100 of my best mates and some cricketers book, said Athers would have made a great number 3 , had he been in a better team. Well here is that team!
I am a little bit conscious of the fact that Stewart batted better when not keeping. But I can't quite get around it. I like the feel of a Gooch-Tresco opening pair. And obviously I like the option of a 4-man pace attack (and a good one at that) to stick it up em. Flintoff and Gough providing the balls; Caddick and Fraser the not-balls-but-still-a-useful-body-part. And Swann is Englands best spinner of the era by a mile. I like the look of the strength in that top 4.
1. Taylor (C)
2. Hayden
3. Ponting
4. Martyn
5. S. Waugh
6. Clarke
7. Gilchrist +
8. Warne
9. Gillespie
10. Hughes
11. McGrath
Not being an Aussie, Im leaving myself open to abuse on this, but I really do think Martyn was better than Waugh Jnr, and Gilchrist edging out the purists choice of keeper - Healy.
Taylor gets the nod above Langer and Slater, Clarke for his last 3 years gets in above a few other options. Hughes, I felt Id be leaving myself open to a bashing if I left out. Gillespie, despite ending his career (202 aside) like a soggy firework, gets the nod.
Punter, Waugh Snr, Warne and McGrath select themselves.

The composition may be familiar as I have painted this scene before but in a larger size.
This exercise was painted on 11" x 15" Arches 140lb paper. Sometimes painting down size can assist in a more fluid appearance, but fiddling can be a temptation. I hope you like this one.

The recently revised Mathieson et al. preprint has some interesting comments about genetic ties between Bronze Age Eastern Europe and South Asia:
After the Poltavka period, population change occurred in Samara: the Late Bronze Age Srubnaya have ~17% Anatolian Neolithic or EEF ancestry (Extended Data Fig. 2). Previous work documented that such ancestry appeared east of the Urals beginning at least by the time of the Sintashta culture, and suggested that it reflected an eastward migration from the Corded Ware peoples of central Europe5. However, the fact that the Srubnaya also harbored such ancestry indicates that the Anatolian Neolithic or EEF ancestry could have come into the steppe from a more eastern source. Further evidence that migrations originating as far west as central Europe may not have had an important impact on the Late Bronze Age steppe comes from the fact that the Srubnaya possess exclusively (n=6) R1a Y chromosomes (Extended Data Table 1), and four of them (and one Poltavka male) belonged to haplogroup R1a-Z93 which is common in central/south Asians12, very rare in present-day Europeans, and absent in all ancient central Europeans studied to date.
This represents a direct link between the European steppe and central/south Asia, an intriguing observation that may be related to the spread of Indo-European languages in that direction.
Actually, several Corded Ware samples from previous studies carried the M417 and Z645 mutations, which are ancestral to Z93. So who's to say that the main patriarch of the Sintashta and Srubnaya cultures, both of which appear to have been rich in R1a-Z93, didn't live somewhere within the Corded Ware horizon, even as far west as Germany or Poland?
In any case, it's nice to see academia finally mention R1a-Z93 in the context of the Indo-European expansion into South Asia. I've been saying for years that this looks like the marker of the Proto-Indo-Iranians and Proto-Indo-Aryans (see here and here).
I also recently wrote how the early Indo-Europeans, all the way from Scandinavia to South Asia, were obsessed with the sun and the moon, otherwise known as the Divine Twins (see here). After seeing the results in Mathieson et al., I did some Googling about the Srubnaya Culture, and found these news features:
Illuminating! Ancient Slab May Be Sundial-Moondial
Photos: Ancient Sundial-Moondial Discovered
Fascinating stuff. Anyone know if similar Sundial-Moondials dating to the Bronze or Iron Age have been found in South Asia?

Feds end Raiderette wage probe with no action
State wage laws still in dispute, however
The U.S. Labor Department said Wednesday it has closed its investigation of what the Oakland Raiders pay its cheerleader squad, the Raiderettes, after finding that the team is a "seasonal" operation exempt from federal minimum-wage laws.
The announcement doesn't shield the team from a lawsuit by Raiderettes who claimed the Raiders are violating California minimum-wage and labor laws with the compensation they provide their cheerleaders. The Raiders are seeking to move that suit out of the courts and into private arbitration before the National Football League commissioner.
The Raiders pay their cheerleaders $125 for each of the 10 preseason and regular-season home games. The Raiderettes' lawsuit, filed Jan. 22 in Alameda County Superior Court, said the wages amount to less than $5 an hour, taking into account the hours of unpaid work they are required to perform at rehearsals, 10 charity events per season and the team's annual swimsuit calendar photo session.
California's minimum wage is $8 an hour, 75 cents more than the federal minimum wage.
The suit also accused the Raiders of violating California law by requiring the Raiderettes to pay all costs of travel and other expenses, by fining them for such offenses as bringing the wrong pom-poms to practice, and by withholding their pay until the end of the season instead of paying them at least twice a month. Two cheerleaders filed the suit as a proposed class action on behalf of all Raiderettes over the past four years.
The Labor Department announced its investigation a week later. The department has the authority to assess penalties against employers for violating federal labor laws, and can order them to pay workers twice the amount any wages that were illegally withheld.
On Wednesday, however, Jose Carnevali, spokesman for the department's regional office in San Francisco, said its Wage and Hour Division had closed the investigation after concluding that the Raiders qualified for an exemption from federal minimum wages and overtime-pay requirements.
That exemption covers "seasonal amusement or recreational establishments," defined to include any such establishment that operates for no more than seven months a year. NFL teams play their first preseason game in August and their last regular-season game in December.
There is no such exemption in California's minimum-wage and overtime laws, the focus of the Raiderettes' lawsuit. Lawyers for the Raiders filed papers in the Alameda County court Friday saying the cheerleaders had agreed, in their employment contract, to refer all disputes with the team to binding arbitration before Commissioner Roger Goodell, whose salary is paid by the NFL teams.
