| Soccer round-up
ITALY SOCCER matches in Italy will resume this weekend after the Government approved a tough set of measures to fight hooliganism, despite resistance by clubs. All play had been suspended last Friday following the killing of a policeman by rioting fans outside a stadium in Sicily. Under the new measures, stadiums not in line with security regulations will remain closed to fans. Other measures include a ban on the block sale of tickets to away fans, a beefing-up of stadium bans for those involved in violence, tougher prison sentences for hooliganism and a ban on financial relationships between clubs and fan associations. "It's clear that we have here very serious measures, I would say without precedents. Maybe this was the only possible answer to such a tragic event," deputy Interior Minister Marco Minniti said after a special cabinet meeting approved the new rules.

Flight attendant worries about safety of lap babies
Dear Amy: I have been a flight attendant for more than 25 years. There are many issues having to do with air travel these days, but I would like to talk about "lap" babies.
A lap baby can travel with an adult, without a purchased ticket, up to 2 years of age. Parents board with their toddlers, expecting accommodations — i.e. a free seat for their child's use. But unused seats are rare.
It's one thing when the family is sitting together, but often they are next to passengers who have paid full price for their ticket, only to be forced to share the limited space next to a squirmy child who weighs 30 pounds.
On occasion, the child may even be older than 2. We've been heard to mutter, "If that kid is under 2, I will eat my wings." .
