This year, however, the company is going to support an event. Wediscussed various options, such as an office party, a meal out and a day trip.Firstly, we considered an office party held on the premises. The main advantage of this would bethat it avoids any need for people to make special travel arrangements. On the other hand, the buildingdoesn’t really have a space that is suitable.We therefore looked at a meal out. There are a number of suitable restaurants and hotels close to theoffice. One arrangement against this was that sitting at tables is not a very good way for us to mix andget to know people from other departments.Finally, we discussed a day trip, for example to a local tourist spot. The main drawback of this isthe cost. In addition, it’s difficult to find somewhere that caters for all of our needs and interests.Taking all of the points into consideration, we propose an office party for all staff, to be held in the mainreception area. Data and time to be confirmed.Please let us know your opinion, preferable before the end of next week.Thank you.SaSC

But for CalebMoore and other freestyle snowmobilers, it's just another trick. Moore performed his failed stunt during theWinter X Games on January 24, 2013 and died a week later. The stunt was difficult but apparently doable. He haddone it many times before. So what do we make of this?By definition, “extreme" sports are difficult or dangerous, performed in a hazardous environment. The veryessence of these sports is to push things as far as possible and then try to take them farther. Part of their massiveappeal is that these sports constantly walk on the thin edge between brilliance and disaster. The fans, corporatesponsors, and especially the athletes know this. It's just a part of what they do, but the death of a 25-year-old isn'tsupposed to be the result of a sporting contest for our entertainment.In the 18-year history of ESPN's X Games, Moore was the first to die in competition. But why is my initialreaction, "Geez, I can't believe there have not been more.” I mean, really, who thinks someone can surviveattempting a backflip on a 450-pound snowmobile? But one person does it, then another and the one after thatuntil it ultimately becomes a routine trick. And then it is time to develop the next one that will be even moreinsane. I am not saying that the people involved with extreme sports trying to perform some seemly impossiblestunt are not concerned with the utmost in safety standards. Maybe it's because these extreme sports haven't yetreached their final frontier of possibility. However, I can't help wondering if they ever set the limit: How farshould they push the envelope?So I say it's insane when I see some teenager shoot 30 feet into the air out of a halfpipe to do twists and flipson a skateboard or a snowboard, or when I see some free climber risk a fatal drop just to reach a summit. Andwhen they have turned what I had previously considered the impossible into the probable, I ask myself: “Whatwill they try next? And how far will they go before somebody kills himself?”

The new rules are a sharp change in policy for a state struggling to manage one of theworst droughts in its history. They came after a winter in which El Niño storms fell short of what meteorologistsprojected — particularly in the southern part of the state — but still partly filled parched reservoirs in NorthernCalifornia and, more critically, partly replenished the mountain snowpack that provides water into the spring andsummer. The state has long struggled to find ways to get water in the north to the people in the south. The state’stwo largest and most important reservoirs are both above their historical averages for this time of year. Butreservoirs farther south remain far below average. “The snowpack this year was close to historical levels. Butwarm weather has melted a lot of it away," said Michael Anderson, the state climatologist. However, the rules donot apply to agriculture, which is covered by different regulations and makes up the bulk of water use in the state.State officials said that the drought, already in its fifth year, was not over and that Californians had to adapt topermanently more arid times because of climate change. Even as officials eased up on the regulations, the statemade permanent prohibitions against washing down sidewalks and driveways, using a hose without a shut-offvalve to wash cars and banning the use of water on road medians. Under the new rules, which take effect on June1, communities would set reduction guidelines based on their own projection of water supplies, assuming that thenext three years here continue to be uncommonly dry.
