Wow. In response to increasing violence at soccer matches culminating in the death of a police officer, the Italian government has instituted new security measures for soccer matches. The "Wow" is for this quote, from the Italian Minister for Infrastructure:

"We have approved draconian measures. If stadiums are not up to code, they will be closed to fans."

Police initially believed Filippo Raciti was killed by a homemade bomb thrown inside his car, but officials later said he died from severe injuries to his liver, likely after being hit by a blunt object.

The incident in Catania was just the latest to besmirch Italian soccer this season.

The previous week, Ermanno Licursi, director of amateur team Sanmartinese, was killed in a fight with opposition players after the final whistle of a game against Cancellese.

Well P, edgy is still doing well for me. I've found only one major problem - that was still a problem from before - and that's that usb seems to be really slow. They're usb 2.0 ports, but transferring my music from my ipod is really far too slow and will take about two hours in total. Although if that's the one fault with it I'm happy... I guess.

For the Champs:

CD: WE ARE NOT CONVINCED THERE HAS BEEN ANY IMPROVEMENT

Artist: Desiderata

Label: Champion City

Rating: 3 1/2

Review: Ever wonder what it would be like to play a game of ping-pong on a carousel? Edmonton's Desiderata inadvertently answer the question with their debut, We are not convinced there has been any improvement. It's a head-spinning collection of herky, jerky guitar riffs, pulsating organs and Blair Drover's "get-me-off-this-thing!" shrieks. (Honestly, he sounds a little like Black Francis of The Pixies.) Highlights include the scribbly Girls like guys with armour plating and Why sell it when we can burn it down!, which laments our lack of compassion. "Let's boo the band that brought us music," Drover yowls. Elastic ... europhic ... and exhausting. In stores Tuesday.

Well, the game tonight wasn't a total waste...

Stortini got his first goal...

I'm actually quite pleased with Stortini, the oilers brought him up to start fights,
But he's showing quite the hustle on the ice, there's potential there.

Bergeron, you're starting to slip...

Apparently when one runs fsck to repair inodes, blocks and such, the program produces program crash data files that the computer relies on in some manner that I'm not too sure of. But, I now know that if I delete said program crash data files then my computer won't start properly anymore until I run fsck again...which was quite the scare as I did not back up my data...hours of work...it wasn't in any real danger though. Yee Linux newbies beware! I wonder if my live cd still boots on this thing....

Yeah, same hours as City Hall, 10-10.

hmmm....

can people still go skating at the Legislature?
