Washington, D.C., June 23, 2008 -- The College Sports Council and the Independent Women's Forum issued a national appeal on the 36th anniversary of the passage of Title IX calling on men and women to work together to effect "straightforward and common-sense" reform to the law's enforcement mechanism in college athletics.
Olympic Greats John Naber, Peter Vidmar, Dan Gable and Cael Sanderson join with Actor Billy Baldwin Calling for 'Common Sense' reform of Title IX
Washington, D.C., August 4, 2008 Over 25 U.S. Olympians and over 35 NCAA Champions have endorsed a College Sports Council petition calling on the U.S. Congress to enact common sense reform of the federal regulations governing Title IX compliance.
College Sports Council Praises U.S. Civil Rights Commission Report on Title IX Reform

College Sports Council Urges High Schools to Fight Use of Gender Quotas to Comply with Title IX in Athletics
The College Sports Council (CSC) is urging public schools nationwide to resist pressure from the National Women's Law Center (NWLC) to enforce gender quotas in high school athletics. The CSC, along with two allied organizations, says that applying the same standard used in intercollegiate athletics for Title IX compliance to high schools is unconstitutional and could result in sidelining as many as 1.3 million male athletes.
Earlier today, the New York Times published a story about how schools misreport athletics participation data in order to comply with Title IX. The following statement can be attributed to Leo Kocher, the President of the College Sports Council:
American Sports Council Sues U.S. Department of Education to Prevent Use of Title IX Quotas in High School Athletics
Applying Quotas to High School Sports Violates Constitution's Equal Protection Clause
The American Sports Council (ASC) filed suit against the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) today, alleging that the use of gender quotas to enforce Title IX in high school athletic programs is unconstitutional because it violates the Equal Protection Clause. Attorneys at the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of the ASC. The suit is entitled, American Sports Council vs. Department of Education.
Findings of First-of-a-Kind Study Reveals Apparent Scholarship Discrimination by NCAA
The findings of a first-of-a-kind study of NCAA participation and scholarship data conducted by the College Sports Council (CSC) shows that in NCAA Division I "gender symmetric sports" (teams where both male and female athletes participate), female students are accorded far more opportunities than male students to compete and earn scholarships.

Marketing Advice & Reflections
Scott Stratten Ruined My Life
I've just finished Scott Stratten's second book The Book of Business Awesome. An excellent read (or in my case a listen - I have it - along with his first book - Unmarketing - in the car) I can highly recommend it.
But I have to warn you - you will come out of the other side with a changed world view.
Among many other marketing observations, Scott talks of the hoops that companies make their customers jump through. And as soon as your eyes are opened these things are everywhere.
I can't stop seeing them. And this morning I think a small blood vessel in my left eye burst.
I had to speak to Telefonica - Spain's telephone provider - about a complaint I have. I'm not going to bore you with the details - suffice to say they suggested I send an email to the small business complaints department.
I have no problem with that - it makes sense. Gives me a chance to explain my situation and for them to have a written record of my complaint. And here comes the hoop.... this is the email address you have to send your message to:
Why? Why can't it be something simple? Why have an address that is almost impossible to note down correctly over the phone the first time? In English we can say hyphen or underscore - that makes things complicated enough - but in Spanish it's the same word - guion - so it's guion medio (dash in the middle) or guion bajo (lower dash).
I had already jumped through three hoops just to get to the person I needed to speak to - press 1 - confirm the telephone number - state the reason for the call.... but this felt more like an attempt to prevent me from complaining rather than an invitation.
When Scott Stratten is translated into Spanish I might just send them a link... if I can get an address from them for book recommendations.
In the meantime I'm just going to have to go through life without the goggles I was wearing.... thanks a lot, Scott!

Asda has today announced that it will give its customers a seasonal boost by investing in an exclusive three-day price drop, knocking four pence per litre off fuel, meaning unleaded prices drop below the £1 mark to 99.7 pence per litre.
Following the news that the Chancellor has so far held off a price increase on fuel duty Asda President & CEO Andy Clarke had urged him to continue with the freeze instead of the anticipated yearly fuel duty rises in line with inflation from April 2016.
Feedback from Asda Mums indicates that any future increases would put pressure on household finances.
In the latest Mumdex report, complied ahead of the Autumn Statement, Asda Mums made it clear what the Government needs to focus on to take pressure off household incomes including, imposing a limit on energy and utility prices and increasing the personal tax allowance, along with a continued freeze on fuel duty.
Asda's announcement today will be an additional boost for customers in the run-up to the festive season, meaning there's more left over to spend on the things that matter at this time of year. Effective from Friday November 27 until Sunday November 29, motorists will benefit from cheaper fuel prices throughout the weekend as unleaded falls to a new record six year low.
Asda will revert back on Monday to a market leading price of 103.7ppl on unleaded and 106.7 ppl on diesel.

Welcome to the PARPG project tracker
What is PARPG
PARPG is the working title of an open source isometric 2d roleplaying game that is currently in prototyping stage and is slowly moving towards a first techdemo release in early 2010.
The purpose of this tracker
The PARPG project tracker utilizes the Python-based Trac issue tracking system. Trac shares similarities with common bugtrackers but provides additional useful functionality that eases the development process for developers and community members.
What kind of functionality is used
The following Trac features are actively used by the PARPG team:
- Timeline: tool to visualize all project activities that are monitored by the tracker: e.g. SVN commits, milestones and tickets.
- Roadmap: an overview over all defined milestones as well as all tickets that are associated with them.
- Browse source: an excellent SVN browser. Coloured diffs, revision comparision, file viewer.
- View tickets: a ticket browser. Lists tickets and gives you plenty of options to search for them with different parameters / filters.
What kind of functionality is NOT used
Trac provides a bunch of additional features that we are not using for different reasons:
- Wiki. We're already using a mediawiki-based solution where all relevant project information for developers but also for community members resides. Therefore we're not using the built-in Trac wiki but the one at: http://wiki.parpg.net
- Discussion. Trac comes with the option to utilize a forums-like discussion functionality. As we're already running our own smf-based forums, we won't rely on Trac discussion but use this one: http://forums.parpg.net
- Blog. Trac can be used in combination with a blogging plugin. It's rather limited features-wise and therefore we stick to our Wordpress blog: http://blog.parpg.net
Please remember
- Don't use default 'anonymous' as name to send in tickets or comments
- Don't use more than one external link in the ticket or comment you want to post
Get started with Trac
In case you're not familiar with Trac yet but would like to know more about the software and how to use it, the following links are good starting points:
- TracGuide -- Built-in Documentation
- The Trac project -- Trac Open Source Project
- Trac FAQ -- Frequently Asked Questions

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- After the completion of nine stages, our Bobcat alumni Andrew Talansky (Garmin Sharp) and Brent Bookwalter '06 (BMC Racing) are holding strong in 22nd and 85th place, respectively, as they welcome the first day of rest.
As the historic race celebrates its 100th anniversary, the riders continue pacing through the 3,404 kilometer race which will conclude on Sunday, July 21. The tour includes 21 stages (seven flat, five hilly, six mountain, two individual time trials, one team time trial and two rest days) over the course of 23 days.
"It's very rewarding to watch our young men who wore the green and gold kits for Lees-McRae compete on the highest stage of their sport in the Tour de France," said Craig McPhail, director of athletics for Lees-McRae College. "It's a tribute to our staff who recruited them, our area in which they trained and developed, as well as our community who got the chance to watch and ride with both Brent and Andrew."
Since the race began on June 28, both Bookwalter and Talansky have endured successes and a few scary moments.
During stage 5, Bookwalter was involved in a crash with several other riders. A spokesperson for the BMC Racing Team told media, "[Bookwalter] was taking a drink when the rider in front of him suddenly swerved. [Bookwalter] only had one hand on the handlebars at the time so [he] couldn't react like normal. [He has] a little bit of soreness and lost a little bit of skin, but [he is] OK."
Bookwalter has also seen many places in the standings, moving from as far back as 111th place all the way up to his current standing in 85th. Talansky has been making moves as well. He began further back in 67th place and has made it up as far as 12th place! He's currently riding in 22nd.
After making it to 12th place at the end of the first mountain stage, Talansky told Cycling News, "I'm not with the top five guys right here, right now, but I am kicking around in the front group and I can hang on. Mentally knowing that is helpful."
Keep an eye on the Lees-McRae College Athletics Facebook page for updates on our riders' progress. For information about cycling at Lees-McRae College, please contact the Athletics Department at 828-898-8725.

Asia travel advisory issued, updated April 2
response to reports of increasing numbers of cases of an atypical pneumonia that the World Health Organization (WHO) has called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued alerts that may impact travelers from the campus community.
The WHO issued an advisory on April 2 and the CDC issued an advisory on March 31, both recommending that elective or nonessential travel to mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Hanoi, Vietnam be postponed until further notice.
Princeton University Chief Medical Officer Daniel Silverman also strongly recommends all students, faculty and staff defer nonessential travel to these areas and that they visit the CDC and WHO Web sites for up-to-date information on this situation. Additional information for travelers is available in the Department of State's fact sheet on SARS .
Members of the University community with questions concerning the advisability of international travel in the case of an emergency or who are experiencing upper respiratory symptoms with a recent history of travel to the affected areas should contact University Health Services at (609) 258-3141 for additional information. For non-emergency questions or travel planning, please schedule a consultation with Travel Medicine during regular business hours.
The CDC has been working with the WHO since late February to investigate and confirm outbreaks of this severe form of pneumonia in Vietnam, Hong Kong and parts of China. As of March 31, 72 suspected cases were under CDC investigation in the United States, including one in New Jersey. The outbreaks appear to primarily involve individuals who have traveled to parts of the world where cases are prominent, and health-care workers and close family contacts to these suspect cases.
"The emergence of two clusters of this illness on the North American continent indicates the potential for travelers who have been in the affected areas ... to have been exposed to this serious syndrome," said Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, CDC director. "The World Health Organization has been leading a global effort, in which CDC is participating, to understand the cause of this illness and how to prevent its spread. We do know that it may progress rapidly and can be fatal. Therefore, we are instituting measures aimed at identifying potential cases among travelers returning to the United States and protecting the people with whom they may come into contact."

2. VW Concept Blue Sport
* Best 10 cars of the show * What was our favourite? * Why did it stand out?...
The mid-engined roadster that Volkswagen inexplicably dropped from its stand in sunny Los Angeles last November was finally revealed in snowy Detroit and immediately became one of the hits of the show.
Called Concept Blue Sport, it is powered by a 180bhp 'clean' diesel engine of unspecified size and is based upon the VW Group's small-car architecture that underpins the Seat Ibiza and will be used for the next Polo.
Dr Wolfgang Hatz, head of engines for the group, hinted that there is a good chance the roadster will make it through to production.
'It was always in our minds that we might use the platform for a car with the engine at the rear, which is why we designed it in a modular way,' he said.
'All we've done is transfer the engine from the front to the rear. There are no technical reasons why we could not build it and I think there is a good chance that we will. We are going to do some clinics with it and see what the reaction from the show is.'
Details of the Blue Sport are sketchy, though VW did say it has a six-speed DSG twin-clutch semi-automatic gearbox, accelerates from 0-62mph in around 6.5secs and is capable of more than 65mpg, with CO2 emissions of just 113g/km.
It features stop-start and brake energy regeneration to lower its diesel consumption. It appears at Detroit in silver metallic with an orange canvas roof and rides on 19-inch wheels.
Group chief designer Walter de Silva says the styling has been 'reduced to essentials' but that it reflects the new design language VW introduced on the Scirocco and the latest Golf.

Tangerine (Citrus reticulate) Peel
The tangerine (Citrus reticulata) is also called Chen pi in Chinese, Mandarin orange or Satsuma in Japan. It is a citrus fruit that is smaller when compared to an orange and tastes less sour. The tangerine peel is one of the many parts of the tangerine fruit and tree that is commonly used for herbal preparations.
The tangerine peel is much more aromatic but does actually have a rather pungent taste; this is why it is used in many medicinal preparations for respiratory illnesses. The tangerine peel is also considered to have more flavonoids and antioxidants that are needed for overall good health than the juice of the tangerine fruit.
History and Origin
The tangerine fruit has been cultivated in China for more than 3 centuries now and the Chinese, as well as many Asian countries, have high regard for the tangerine fruit for its medicinal properties. The tangerine is also grown in Burma and in several regions throughout Asia making it the most varied shape and size citrus fruit.
Ancient Uses
The use of the tangerine peel in ancient times was mainly for the cure of cough, colds and many other respiratory illnesses. The tangerine peel is used fresh as tea or as a refreshing drink to relieve stress and increase energy and vigor. The peel is also used as a poultice for wounds and burns.
Modern Uses
In modern times, the tangerine peel is used to dry up mucus in the upper and lower respiratory system. It is effective in liquefying secretions for expulsion as well. For the gastrointestinal system, the tangerine peel is dried and ground to aid digestion, to treat diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea and also episodes of dyspepsia. The tangerine peel is very effective in the treatment of digestive problems because it naturally increases the secretion of the gastric juices and is also helpful in relaxing the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. Chinese medicine also believes that the tangerine peel moves the body's qi downward therefore it relieves hiccups and vomiting as well.
There are several studies that support the high bioflavonoid content of the tangerine peel as being beneficial in the strengthening of the epithelial cells making them resistant to cancer cells. This could be a factor in determining the effect of tangerine peel supplements in the prevention of cancer but no conclusive data has been developed yet.
The tangerine peel is also beneficial in weight loss. It also lowers blood cholesterol, blood pressure and thus is indirectly responsible for weight loss. It is however important to combine the use of tangerine peel supplements for weight loss with the proper exercise and the right diet so you can achieve weight loss effectively and safely.
Side Effects
There are no known side effects of taking tangerine peel supplements and extracts. There are no known side effects for pregnant and lactating women either. It is however important to ask your doctor if you wish to use tangerine peel supplements for your illness so you can get the right dosage and learn of any adverse effects of this herbal remedy with your medications.

Will new chairman bring Metra some Irish luck?
It's crunchtime for Metra's new chairman, Brad O'Halloran -- with big challenges that require a game plan where failure isn't an option.
But am I talking about the funding crisis facing Metra or Notre Dame's winning streak?
Actually, it could be either because O'Halloran is both the University of Notre Dame's regional director of development and the newly anointed head of Metra's 11-member board.
My recent interview with him was short on football -- he was cautiously hopeful the Irish would make it to the BCS Championship, and they did -- and long on commuter rail.
I first asked O'Halloran, an Orland Park village trustee, his thoughts on emerging issues of regionalism within the six-county area.
As context, some on Chicago's South Side and in South suburban communities think they're Metra's redheaded stepchild with all the good stuff going to the north, west and northwest. Meanwhile, riders in those suburbs think that they're the ones with the old cars, the lack of express trains and the service delays.
The south part of the region, however, recently got a big boost with $585 million allocated to new rail cars on the Electric Line.
While each Metra director represents a specific geographic area, "as a board we have to come together and make sure we're being equitable," O'Halloran said.
"I've reviewed some preliminary numbers over the past 30 years, and when you really segregate it by overall market areas, south, southwest, north and northwest, it's not far off at being at parity right now."
Metra planners estimate the agency has $7.37 billion in capital needs over 10 years but only $2.6 billion in funding available.
"The problem is, we're trying to be equitable with such a small pool of capital," O'Halloran said. "We've got to figure out a strategy to increase that bucket. We have to make our voices heard more clearly and more aggressively at both the federal and state governments to get more funds to address the overall needs of Metra."
"State of good repair" is the transit buzzword du jour. Essentially it means focusing on the basics -- nothing sexy like more express trains or line extensions to places like Oswego.
"We can't even address growth right now," O'Halloran said. "What we have to do is catch up on the daily maintenance issues. ... Metra needs everything from bridge work to maintaining the rail lines to upgrading stations to upgrading the rolling stock."
In February, Metra raised fares by a significant margin with 10-ride and monthly passes spiking by about 30 percent. Officials said at the time they needed to stop raiding the capital budget to pay for operating needs.
On Nov. 16, the board voted to raise 10-ride fares by an additional 11 percent, subject to final approval in December. This would raise about $8 million, with $6 million going to capital infrastructure.
O'Halloran said the 10-ride increase is tolerable because it affects only part of Metra's ridership. (Metra puts it at about 25 percent.)
"When you look at it in the overall context, people can make other decisions from a purchasing standpoint," he said. "But going forward, I don't want to have the public surprised anymore."
O'Halloran and other directors advocate using a type of consumer price index tied to transportation in future years so riders know in advance if a fare hike is pending. "Then we can say, 'That's where the index is right now and that's where it's trending,' so they're not surprised and we're not surprised. I want clarity with respect to that."
The vote on the fare hike wasn't unanimous, with two directors dissenting.
"I want a board that has opinions. ... Not everyone will agree, but at least we'll get to a consensus and move on," O'Halloran said.
This fall brought a turf battle between the CTA, Pace and Metra over so-called discretionary funds distributed by the Regional Transportation Authority. The fight was so bitter the RTA now plans to hire a consultant to give advice on how to divide the pie fairly.
"The past is the past," O'Halloran said. "I'm glad the RTA is taking that step. We'll get this information from the consultant ... all the stakeholders are interested ... and we'll see how Metra fares. It's premature to conjecture. I'm looking forward to having a relationship with CTA and Pace."
While the words "strategic plan" may induce drowsiness in some, O'Halloran says riders should be excited about the document the agency is preparing.
The finished version will describe "what's our mission, what's our vision, what are the goals of the authority, how are we breaking that into short-term goals and long-term goals -- which include permanent and fixed assets," he said. "When we're done, we'll have a document that gives us a clear path going forward. ... It will be a living, breathing document."
One more thing
O'Halloran, 57, grew up on Chicago's Southwest Side, not far from Midway Airport.
Early on "trains impacted my life because I had to figure out how to navigate between my house and the (Chicago Beltway) freight train crossing. When you're about 12, it's pretty scary."
O'Halloran studied psychology and marketing at Notre Dame and later received a master's in business administration. His first job was marketing with Colgate Palmolive, and he went on to start a business that operated sports stores at airports, which was bought eventually by an international company. He's back with Notre Dame, working on Michigan Avenue and taking the train frequently into work.
Being a suburbanite who grew up in Chicago is useful on Metra because "it gives me perspective on the differences and the commonalities," he said.
Your voice
Here's what Larry Mylin of Mount Prospect had to say about the 10-ride issue. "Let's call the Metra fare increase what it is," he wrote. "A money transfer from Metra to the CTA. If RTA funds had been allocated properly, the 10-pass fare increase would not be required."
Got an opinion? Drop me a line at email@example.com.
You should know
Speaking of fare increases, the CTA is jumping on the bandwagon. Here's a look at proposed increases: A one-day pass would jump from $5.75 to $10, a three-day pass would go from $14 to $20, a seven-day pass would spike from $23 to $28, and a 30-day pass would go from $86 to $100. The hike is necessary to fix a $165 million shortfall, said CTA officials, who contend it puts them in the middle of the pack of transit agencies nationwide. It might have been worse had the agency not reached a tentative four-year contract with its labor unions. If approved, the changes would go into effect Jan. 14.
Gridlock alert
Good news this time. Work on the central Tri-State Tollway between Rosemont and Oak Lawn is finito. And it cost only $112.6 million.
Be careful out thereDarkness and danger go together when it comes to driving fatalities, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. More people die in vehicle crashes between 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. than in any other period, and in many cases no one's wearing a seat belt.

Èdouard Manet's seascapes, with their bold spatial organization and use of vivid colors, were an astounding break with the conventions of marine painting at the time and influenced artists such as Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Gustave Courbet, among others. It's little known that before becoming a painter, Manet sought a career in the French navy and spent six months at sea; his marine works reflect his intimate knowledge of the power of the sea. He is reported to have witnessed one of the most important naval battles of the American Civil War on June 19, 1864, and produced the remarkable painting The Battle of the "Kearsarge" and the "Alabama," that is in the Museum's collections. Manet and the Sea features essays by Juliet Wilson-Bareau, one of the leading Manet scholars in the world.

- "If Dean is listening, or if anyone has any knowledge of his whereabouts, his parents and sisters are desperate for news."
- —Lee Jordan appeals to listeners on Potterwatch[src]
Mrs Thomas was the mother of Dean Thomas. Though she was a Muggle, her first husband was a wizard, but he never told her so, believing that not knowing the truth would keep her safe. He deserted Mrs Thomas when their son was still a small boy and was eventually murdered by Death Eaters.[1]
Mrs Thomas remarried a Muggle man and had several children with him. The family lived in London and were described as having "a very happy home life".[1]
When a letter arrived for Dean from Hogwarts in 1991, Mrs Thomas considered the possibility that her first husband might have been a wizard, but, like her son, was never able to confirm this suspicion.[1]
In 1995, Dean opted not to let his parents know about the murder of Cedric Diggory, presumably because he worried they would withdraw him from Hogwarts.[2]
Dean had to go into hiding in 1997 because he was unable to prove he was a half-blood to the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. Mrs Thomas and her second husband were not sure where their son had gone, and were deeply concerned, so the radio programme Potterwatch asked its listeners to contact the Thomases if they knew anything about Dean.[3]

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — The defense and prosecution both completed their arguments Friday in Oscar Pistorius' bail hearing, with the magistrate soon to rule if the double-amputee athlete can be freed or if he must stay behind bars pending trial in the shooting death of his girlfriend.
The prosecution vehemently opposed bail to Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair in a case that has transfixed South Africans and brought international media attention to the nation's justice system and police capabilities.
Pistorius is charged with one count of premeditated murder in the Feb. 14 killing of Reeva Steenkamp. He says he accidentally shot her, thinking she was a dangerous intruder inside his home, lurking in a toilet stall off his bedroom.
Pistorius' hands trembled as he said "good morning, your worship" as the session began in Magistrate's Court in Pretoria, South Africa's capital. For the first time in the hearing, two representatives of the Steenkamp family were present in court, sitting behind and to the left of Pistorius in the public gallery.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel called Pistorius' version that he shot Steenkamp accidentally improbable and argued that Pistorius did not have to have planned the killing for days in advance for it to be premediated.
"He planned it that night when she (Steenkamp) locked herself in (the toilet)," Nel said in response to a question from the magistrate on why Pistorius hadn't staged a break-in at his home to make his story look more believable. "The fact that we have only one survivor of that tragic night is difficult for the state."
Pistorius' defense lawyer, Barry Roux, brought up culpable homicide as a possible charge for the first time in the case when answering questions from the magistrate.
"He did not want to kill Reeva. He had no intent to kill Reeva," Roux said as Pistorius began weeping again — like he has done for much of his bail hearing.
Roux said it was impossible for Pistorius, as famous as he is and with his prostheses, to escape South Africa before trial and bail should be granted.
"Let me tell you how difficult it is for this man to disappear from this world," Roux said.
Prosecutor Nel earlier countered that everyone, whether disabled or famous or otherwise different from the majority, should be treated equally under the law. Nel noted that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is famous but is now holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden to face sex-related charges.
Nair, the magistrate, will decide if Pistorius can be freed with conditions or if he is held until trial. Pistorius faces the sternest bail conditions in South Africa because of the seriousness of the murder charge, meaning his defense lawyers have to prove there is an "exceptional" reason for him to be freed.
Stephen Tuson, an adjunct law professor at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and a practicing attorney, told The Associated Press that poor health, a weak state case or a disability could be reasons to grant bail to a person accused of murder. But the "exceptional" circumstances Pistorius would have to prove to be freed are not established absolutely by law and are applied considering the individual merits of each case.
"(The matter of exceptional reasons) is not defined," Tuson said. "We've had to have this concept expanded by the courts on a case by case basis."
Pistorius' defense has dedicated much of its argument in the bail hearing to questioning the state's case against Pistorius and trying to discredit the police investigation into Steenkamp's shooting. Lead investigator Hilton Botha was removed from the case Thursday following his bungled testimony for the prosecution and replaced by the South African police's top detective, Vinesh Moonoo — who was in court Friday.
Defense lawyer Roux also stressed Pistorius' disability Friday and said it was one of the reasons why he couldn't easily flee the country.
"He cannot, cannot go unnoticed through airport security. When he goes through the security at the airport, there's every time a commotion because the system would react," Roux said. He added that Pistorius also needs medical treatment for his stumps and has to have his prostheses adjusted on a monthly basis.
In arguing against bail, Nel sought to portray Pistorius as a spoiled celebrity with an inflated sense of self who believed he was above the law. Nel also said selfishness could be driving expressions of remorse by suspects such as Pistorius.
"All that I feel sorry for is myself," Nel said of Pistorius. "I've shot her and my career is done."
Pistorius' longtime coach Ampie Louw had said before proceedings began that he is considering putting his runner back in training if he is granted bail to allow him to "get his mind kind of clear."
Louw said he realizes that the Olympic athlete might not be emotionally ready to give any thought to running.
"The change is that he is heartbroken, that is all," Louw said in the courtroom, surrounded by reporters and television cameras. "For me it is tough to see that. Not to be able to reach out and sit next to him and say 'Sorry, man, it was a terrible accident.' But I cannot do it, I must just sit here in court and that's all.
"The sooner he can start working the better," said Louw, who was the person who convinced the double amputee to take up track as a teenager a decade ago.
He has been held at a police station in Pretoria since last week, but suspects who are denied bail are typically held in a prison.
Roux argued on Thursday that the evidence backs Pistorius' statement that he shot through a toilet door at his home because he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder, killing her by accident.
"I think there will be a level of shock in this country if he is not released (on bail)," Roux said in court.
Opposing bail, Nel argued that Pistorius was too willing to shoot. The prosecution says Pistorius planned to kill his 29-year-old girlfriend, a model and budding reality TV star, after an argument in the early hours of Valentine's Day.
"The reason you fire four shots is to kill," Nel said.
Louw said he might put Pistorius — who overcame the amputation of his lower legs as a baby to compete at last year's London Olympics — back on a morning and afternoon training routine if he is freed, believing it might help him to be able to run track again.
"You must give him space," the coach said.
AP Sports Writer Gerald Imray contributed to this report from Johannesburg.

Greta Christina is one of the writers I respect most in the world. She recently became a full-time freelance writer, and it seems the world has been out to get her ever since. Her father died just a few weeks ago – then she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer early this week. It's not the worst kind of cancer a person can have, and hopefully was caught early enough so it can be cured with merely major surgery, but it's going to sideline her for a bit. And this is at the beginning of her freelance career, which means no cushion built up. And this is freelancing we're talking about – there is no paid sick leave.
So she could use a hand. Do you want to help out? You can donate to her directly, or buy her excellent book, or recommend easy entertainment to keep her from going mad during convalescence. I'm assuming things featuring cute kittehs are priority, but please try to grade things by humor: aww cute should be fine for the first two weeks, gentle giggles for weeks 2-3, ramping up gradually to chuckles and, eventually, when healing has progressed so far, gales of laughter.
And give her love. Lots and lots of love.
(A note to any religious readers: please respect the fact that Greta is an atheist. Please don't tell her you're praying for her, that God has a plan, etc. You're welcome to believe those things, but we don't, and don't find them at all comforting. Thank you for understanding.)

An inspection team of international lenders has finished its review of Greece's austerity program, paving the way for another 10 billion euros (US$13 billion) aid payment, a source with knowledge of the talks said on Saturday.
The deal reached on Friday, concludes the first review by the so-called "troika" of the European Commission, the IMF and the European Central Bank since they unlocked fresh aid in December last year, staving off a chaotic bankruptcy.
In exchange for the December deal in Greece's 240 billion euro bailout, Athens passed a fresh round of austerity measures.
"The third review mission of the program was completed last night in Athens with a staff level agreement," one delegate with knowledge of the discussions said.
The official added the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers and the IMF's board would each likely discuss the agreement next month, a condition for the money to actually be paid.
Klaus Regling, the head of the eurozone's rescue funds, said on Friday that the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), under which Greece's rescue is handled, stood ready to disburse 10 billion euros to Athens once conditions were met.
"Greece would get 2.8 billion euros after the milestones have been met. In addition, 7.2 billion [euros are] available in bonds to recapitalize the banks. This is based on a tranche already approved last December," he said.
Greece has received about 200 billion euros in rescue loans since its first bailout in May 2010. However, despite imposing a 75 percent debt cut on private-sector bondholders and receiving debt relief from its official lenders last year, it is still far from a return to the bond markets.
After a meeting of EU finance ministers, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said a 2.8 billion euro tranche of funds this month had not been released yet because Greece had not fulfilled some of the bailout milestones.
"The Greek side explained it is fully committed and we hope that this will be the case by the next meeting," Schaeuble said.
The recapitalization of Greece's banks and shrinking the country's spendthrift public sector have been key issues on the agenda of talks with the troika, which resumed its visit in Athens earlier this month.
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras met his coalition partners on Saturday to discuss the hot topics and the progress of the troika review.
After the meeting, Greek Deputy Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said talks with the troika would be wrapped up by today.
"I believe the ultimate details of a deal with the troika will be finalized by Monday night," Staikouras said.
Greece has agreed to dismiss 15,000 public sector workers and hire as many younger employees, he said.
About 4,000 workers will leave by the end of the year and another 11,000 next year, party officials said. The state is expected to cut more than 180,000 by 2015.
Greek socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos said the troika was expected to approve the political leaders' proposals by yesterday.
Under Greece's current bailout plan agreed in November last year, Athens has to cut 150,000 public sector jobs overall from 2010 to 2015, about a fifth of the total, through hiring curbs, retirement and dismissals.
"We have designed a commonly accepted framework which I hope the troika will accept by Sunday night," Venizelos said. "We must close all the issues."

The amazing Ben Zhu of Gallery Nucleus (one of my favorite galleries!) and Jon Gibson & Derek from I am 8-bit were kind enough to invite me to a Street Fighter (my all time favorite video game!) Tribute Art Show. Only a coward would refuse!
I'm doing two paintings inspired by my favorite characters Blanka (a monster from Brazil) and El Fuerte (a luchador from Mexico).
Growing up, this game really changed my life. In every Mexican arcade or little shop with a Street Fighter 2 machine, you could witness all the struggles of life: the rich versus the poor, the north versus south, the First World versus the Third World -- and more importantly, you versus thousands of unknown kids.
Out of loyalty to Latin America, I always played Blanka from Brazil. Back then there were no Mexican characters, so a giant green monster had to do. In his storyline Blanka, like most telenovela orphans, is trying to reunite with his mother.

Sprawl In Canada and the U.S.: A Comparison
I am spending this spring at the University of Toronto working on an advanced law degree (called an L.L.M.), and am writing a thesis comparing sprawl in Canada and the United States. Here are a few preliminary findings:
I am spending this spring at the University of Toronto working on an advanced law degree (called an L.L.M.), and am writing a thesis comparing sprawl in Canada and the United States. Here are a few preliminary findings:
*Canada's cities are generally growing, unlike older American cities. Among the ten cities that were America's most populous in 1950, eight have lost population- often by huge margins. The most extreme example is St. Louis, which lost 59 percent of its population between 1950 and 2000. By contrast, every single one of Canada's 1950 "Top Ten" cities have gained population.
To some extent, Canadian cities' population growth is a result of annexation, since every major city but Vancouver has annexed significant amounts of territory in recent decades.
I tried to control for annexation by figuring out which census tracts were part of the city in 1971. (I chose 1971 because 1971 census tracts are comparable to those of today, while tracts from earlier Canadian censuses are not). Thus, I was able to ascertain whether the areas within city limits in 1971 have gained population or not.
In six of the ten largest cities, these older areas have gained population. And in the other four cities, population losses have not been comparable to those of America's weakest central cities. For example, Canada's most rapidly declining big city, Montreal, has lost 18 percent of its 1971 population (disregarding areas added to the city since 1971). By contrast, St. Louis has lost 44 percent of its 1971 population.
In sum, Canadian cities have either grown or modestly declined. So if sprawl is defined as "migration from cities to suburbs", Canada has experienced some sprawl but less than the United States.
*Another way to measure sprawl is automobile dependence. Here too, Canada differs from the United States. In the United States, 6 percent of work commutes involve public transit; in Canada, 14 percent of commutes involve transit. Although no Canadian city is as transit-oriented as New York, even Canada's more sprawling, car-dependent big cities are far less auto-oriented than their American counterparts. For example, in Edmonton, 79 percent of commutes are by car, as opposed to almost 90 percent in Phoenix. On the other hand, Canada is still more auto-oriented than much of Europe: in some European cities, less than half of commutes are by car - and in a few (such as Zurich and Copenhagen) less than one-fourth. Thus, Canadian cities occupy a middle ground between the more car-oriented United States and the less car-oriented cities of Western Europe.
There are many possible explanations for this state of affairs- some having little to do with land use policy . For example Canada's lower crime rates and higher gas prices make cities more desirable, while the nation's enormous size ensures that there is more room for suburban expansion than in Europe.
I note, however, that in Canada, as in the United States, some government policies favor sprawl. Canadian government at all levels spends more than four times as much on highways as on transit, thus opening up suburbs for development.
And Canadian cities and suburbs, like their American counterparts, artificially limit density through anti-density, single-use zoning and minimum parking requirements. Low density limits the number of people who can walk to jobs, shops or transit stops, thus making development more car-oriented.
*On the other hand, Canadian pro-sprawl policies are often less extreme than those of American cities. For example, "big house zones" in the Toronto suburbs of Burlington and Mississauga are zoned for half-acre or one-acre lots, while in Atlanta even the center city government zones certain neighborhoods for two-acre lots.
Moreover, some American suburbs are much more aggressive than Toronto suburbs in discouraging medium- and high-density development even in their relatively compact areas. For example, Alpharetta, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta) limits density in single-family zones to just over four houses an acre, and limits density in multifamily zones to ten houses per acre - lower than single-family housing zones in some Toronto suburbs! Moreover, Toronto suburbs often have high-rise zones near commuter trains, while American suburbs often forbid any apartments above three or four stories.
In sum, Canadian government promotes sprawl less aggressively than the United States- and gets less of it as a result.

Update: As has been pointed out, this doesn't supplement the existing battery, it replaces it in the phone. So you get a longer battery life, but not more than double. You could of course take the spare battery as a backup and switch it out when necessary. Still worth the $50 investment if you're a heavy user. Apologies for any confusion.
The Galaxy Nexus ships with a 1750mAh rechargeable battery, which when coupled with the 4.65-inch display and 1.2GHz dual-core processor, probably isn't going to make it through the day. That is, if you intend on actually using it for calls, apps, and surfing the web on a regular basis.
Samsung has clearly realized this and decided to turn it into a marketing opportunity. How would you like to more than double the battery life of your Galaxy Nexus? Well, if you hand over $49.99 to Samsung, they'll gladly ship you the i515 Battery Bundle Kit.
The kit includes an extended battery and battery cover, meaning your Galaxy Nexus is going to get a bit thicker and heavier, but in return it will definitely last the day and then some. That's because the 1750mAh standard battery is supplemented with a 2100mAh second battery hidden behind the new cover.
Why didn't Samsung just ship a bigger battery with the Galaxy Nexus in the first place? They'd probably blame us, the consumers for that. We all want super-thin phones with big screens, making it tough to include a large battery in the design. But at least Samsung has taken the initiative and brought out the kit right at the start of the smartphone's life. You really can't argue with the price, either.
Although it may be seen as cheating, with the addition of the extended battery does the Galaxy Nexus officially become the longest-lasting smartphone between charges? Or does another extended battery solution offering even more juice for a current Android or iPhone beat it?

In the Rioja town of Haro, an unusual fiesta is held on 29 June, the feast of San Pedro: the Battle of Wine.
The origins of this tradition could go back to a dispute with the nearby village of Miranda de Ebro over the ownership of some local crags. First there is a mass, and then this peaceful battle between two sides begins. The participants tirelessly despatch litres and litres of wine over their adversaries. It is an impressive spectacle that lasts until lunchtime. Afterwards, the people head back to Haro and gather in Plaza de la Paz Square.

In the countdown to Christmas Barnardo's Scotland and leading toy retailer Argos are asking families to donate their pre-loved toys to help the most vulnerable children across Scotland.
Shoppers can take pre-loved toys to their local Barnardo's Scotland store or Argos stores and in return, will receive a £5 toy voucher. This can be spent in Argos stores towards the cost of new toys when you spend £35 or more, before Christmas Day.
The retailer's annual Toy Exchange Scheme invites customers to donate pre-loved toys in exchange for a £5 toy voucher, which can be spent in Argos stores across Scotland towards the cost of new toys (minimum spend £35) until December 24.
The donated toys will be sold in Barnardo's Scotland shops, raising vital funds for the charity which works to support local children and their families who need a little bit of extra help.
Martin Crewe, director of Barnardo's Scotland, said: "Over the last four years we have had the generous support of Argos' customers which enables us to keep providing support to children and young people in our services in the local community – and hopefully this year we will be able to help even more."
Over the last three festive seasons, Argos shoppers across the UK have helped generate more than £1.9 million to help Barnardo's.
Pre-loved toys can be donated to any Argos or Barnardo's Scotland store until November 20.

On Exhibit: Open Sea
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Aurelia labiata
Animal Type
small plankton, like molluscs, crustaceans, fish eggs and other small jellies
to 15 inches (38 cm) in diameter
Portuguese man-of-war, hydromedusae, other siphonophores, sea anemones, coral; Family: Ulmaridae
common in Monterey Bay and along the California coast, and in the waters off the East Coast, Europe, Japan and the Gulf of Mexico
Natural History
These alien-looking creatures are named for their translucent, moonlike circular bells. Instead of long, trailing tentacles, moon jellies have a short, fine fringe (cilia) that sweeps food toward the mucous layer on the edges of the bells. Prey is stored in pouches until the oral arms pick it up and begin to digest it.
The coloration of a moon jelly often changes depending on its diet. If the jelly feeds extensively on crustaceans, it turns pink or lavender. An orange tint hints that a jelly's been feeding on brine shrimp.
Scientists have studied the life cycle of this jelly extensively. They know the adult male moon jelly releases strands of sperm, which are ingested by female moon jellies. After fertilization, larvae settle on or near the seafloor and grow into polyps. Polyps alternate between feeding and reproductive stages for up to 25 years. In the reproductive phase, polyps launch buds of cloned juveniles, known as ephyrae, which grow into adult medusae.
Found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters, moon jellies feed in quiet bays and harbors. Although moon jellies have a sting, they pose little threat to humans.
Moon jellies are very plentiful. However, plastic bags that end up in the ocean often look like jellies to animals that depend on these drifting creatures for food. Thousands of turtles and birds die each year after swallowing indigestible wads of plastic mistaken for jellies. You can help by picking up plastic on the beach and near storm drains.
Like other jelly populations, overabundant moon jellies indicate an unbalanced ecosystem. Scientists have discovered that jellies reproduce best when the water has too many nutrients—usually the result of run-off from land—and too little oxygen.
Cool Facts
Although they didn't get to the moon, nearly 2,500 moon jelly polyps and ephyrae—two early stages in the jelly life cycle—went into orbit aboard the space shuttle Columbia in May 1991. They were part of a study on the effects of weightlessness on development of internal organs in juvenile jellies.

IUCN has had a strong Antarctic interest in the past, contributing its expertise in support of the Antarctic Treaty System. In recent years however, IUCN's Antarctic focus has waned. While presenting at the recent Oceania Regional Conservation Forum, Dr. Neil Gilbert, Environmental Manager at Antarctica New Zealand, urged IUCN to become more engaged in the work of the Antarctic Treaty System.
"The environmental challenges in Antarctica are significant", Dr Gilbert noted, "and IUCN has much expertise and experience that it can bring to help address these".
The Antarctic Treaty, signed by twelve nations in 1959, but now with a membership of 48 Countries, provides the governance and management regime for Antarctica – Earth's only continent without a native human population.
Antarctica is facing growing environmental challenges. Parts of Antarctica have experienced rapid warming and an altered climate over the last 50 years. Such change is influencing native fauna and flora and allowing alien species to become established.
If the Antarctic Treaty System is to maintain Antarctica as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science, then innovative solutions to current environmental challenges will need to be found.
"We are observing changes in the breeding locations of certain species of penguin, and expansion in the range of native flora in some areas of Antarctica", Dr Gilbert explained.
"Perhaps more worryingly we have also observed the establishment and persistence of several non-native plant and insect species" he said. "Helping to manage the implications of such change is where IUCN can bring its global expertise to bear".
Antarctica New Zealand is one of the recent Members of IUCN and has more than 50 years of experience of Antarctica environmental issues and management. It is the Crown Entity responsible for developing, managing and executing New Zealand Government activities in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, in particular the Ross Dependency.
Some facts on Antarctica:
- The Antarctic Treaty System is comprised of several international agreements including the Antarctic Treaty and its Environmental Protocol and the Antarctic Fisheries Convention (CCAMLR).
- There are 48 Parties to the Antarctic Treaty, 28 of whom have "consultative" or "voting" status under the provisions of the Treaty.
- The coldest temperature ever recorded was in Antarctica (-89.6oC).
- Antarctica is the driest, windiest, and highest of all continents.
- It contains 90% of the world's ice and 70% of the world's freshwater.
- The total amount of ice covering Antarctica is about 29 million km3; this amounts to 60 to 65 metres of sea level rise if it all melted.
- Under the provisions of the Environmental Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty, the Parties have designated the region as a natural reserve dedicated to peace and science.
- Antarctica is the only continent with no indigenous species of ants.
