RICHLANDS –– Carroll County was finally able to get past the early stages of a district game without finding itself in an early hole, but the Cavaliers weren't able to make the strong start hold up as Richlands clinched the Southwest District championship with a 23-7 win Friday at Ernie Hicks Stadium.
MAX MEADOWS –– For the first time since 1994, Fort Chiswell has left a football game against Grayson County with a smile on its face.
The Pioneers used a 19-point outburst in the second period to end a 14-game losing streak to the Blue Devils, taking a 25-6 win in a Mountain Empire District game Friday at C.F. McKinney Field.
HILLSVILLE –– Galax won the Mountain Empire District boys' cross country championship for the 18th time in the program's 20 years of existence, placing seven runners among the top eight spots during the district meet Wednesday at the Southwest Virginia Training Center.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County opened strong in all three games of its nondistrict match with Grayson County, knocking off the Blue Devils 25-5, 25-10, 25-12 Thursday.
Carroll County (16-0 overall) bolted to an 11-1 lead in the first game with an 8-0 run sparked by Leanna Rippey's kill. Kim Caudill had two jump-serve aces while Rippey and Lindsey Poe each had a kill in the run.
MAX MEADOWS –– With four of the five Mountain Empire District football teams entering Week 9 with no district losses, there was a lot left to be decided, and just four games with which to do so. The picture began to take shape Friday.
Fort Chiswell racked up 30 points in the second quarter and rolled over Galax 47-7 in a Mountain Empire District win. It was the MED opener for the Pioneers, who join Bland County as the last two unbeatens in the league. Bland bumped off Narrows 14-7 in Friday's only other MED contest.
GRUNDY ––Carroll County found itself trailing in the opening minutes before exploding for six unanswered touchdowns Friday, rolling to a 41-7 Southwest District win over Grundy at Nelson Memorial Stadium.
Entering the contest on a 16-game district losing streak, Grundy (1-7 overall, 0-4 SWD) jumped to an early lead when Tanner McClanahan returned a Cavalier fumble 30 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
In a battle between leaders of their respective districts, Carroll County held off several Galax surges and kept its season record perfect following a 25-18, 25-17, 25-23 nondistrict win Monday at Galax High School.
The win was the 14th without a loss for the Cavaliers, who have a firm grip on the Southwest District lead. Being in the SWD driver's seat at this time of the season isn't a surprise for the Cavaliers. Being 14-0 is to some.
BRISTOL –– Taking a nine-stroke lead into the second day of the Group A state golf championships Tuesday at Clear Creek Golf Course, Galax would have liked nothing better than a repeat of its first day's performance. That's what it got – nothing better. But it was more than enough.
BRISTOL –– Galax won its fourth state golf championship and its second in the last five years, grinding through a tough course and a tough field Tuesday to win the team title by 12 strokes over Giles at Clear Creek Golf Club.
The Maroon Tide adds the team championship to the Group AA crown it won in 1974 and the Group A titles claimed in 1988 and 2004.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County was denied on a two-point conversion with 1:09 to play as Marion escaped with a 15-13 Southwest District win Friday at Tommy Thompson Field.
Trailing 15-7, the Cavaliers (3-4 overall, 1-2 district) took over on their own 15 following a Zack Surratt interception and drove the length of the field, capping the drive with Dillon Caviness' 28-yard TD reception from Blake Bowman. Fullback Cody Mabe was stopped at the 1-yard-line on the PAT as Marion held on.

With three Super Bowl wins in four years (2001-2004)-a feat equaled only by the Dallas Cowboys-the New England Patriots have established themselves as the first NFL dynasty of the 21st Century. In Week 2 of the 2001 season, Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe took a vicious blow from Jets linebacker Mo Lewis, and the 2001 season seemed lost. But backup Tom Brady stepped in-and New England sports history was changed forever. By the time Bledsoe returned, Brady had compiled a 5-3 record as a starter, and head coach Bill Belichick stayed with him. That decision paid off in the final minutes of Super Bowl XXXVI, when Brady drove the Patriots 53 yards to set up the biggest kick of Adam Vinatieri's career - a 48-yarder for the title. Less than a week before the start of the 2003 season, Belichick made another risky decision, releasing Pro Bowl safety and team captain Lawyer Milloy. His replacement, Rodney Harrison, won respect with his aggressive play and was voted a defensive captain after only a few games. Harrison and linebackers Tedy Bruschi and Willie McGinest led a defense that allowed the fewest points in the league that season. In Super Bowl XXXVIII, Tom Brady out-gunned the Carolina Panthers, 32-29, and won his second Super Bowl MVP award in three years. Halloween, 2004, was a nightmare for New England: Ben Roethlisberger's Steelers ended the Patriots' NFL-record 21-game winning streak and dealt a season-ending injury to All-Pro cornerback Ty Law. More injuries followed as the season progressed, weakening a once-dominant defense-but New England played on with a patchwork secondary that included 33-year-old wide receiver Troy Brown at nickel back. After the Patriots won the rematch against Big Ben for the AFC Championship, all that stood between them and a third world title in four seasons was the most fearsome receiver in the game-Philadelphia's Terrell Owens, in Super Bowl XXXIX.

Farmer second at county meet
By Neil Macdonald
Blaines Kevin Farmer shot a 40-36 76 to finish second, one stroke behind winner Luke Bennett of Sehome in the 7th annual Whatcom County Championships for the Birger Solberg Memorial Cup at Bellingham Golf & Country Club on April 1.
Other Borderites scores: Doug Goldsby 43-41 84, Adam Dolan 49-41 90 and Kyle Goddard 48-42 90,
Farmer carded a 40 to finish low medalist and led Blaine to a NCC golf win on a miserably moist and uncomfortably cold March 27 at Homestead.
The Borderites shot 229 to win. Runner-up Lakewood tallied 234. Lynden Christian was third with 249 and Nooksack Valley, fourth, with 276. Other Blaine scores: Goldsby 43, Matt Wiens 48, Dolan 49 and Goddard 49.

rounds up golden goals
Goals were gold as Blaine nipped Lakewood 2-1 in NCC soccer action on March 25 at Lakewood, edged Nooksack Valley 1-0 on March 27 at the Pipe and were in turn edged 1-0 by South Whidbey at Langley on March 29.
Yasuto Morinaka got the Borderites first goal against Lakewood at 23 minutes and Brendan Mulholland, Blaines second, on a penalty kick at 47 minutes.
Mulholland scored the Borderites lone and winning goal in the NV game from 20 yards away with two minutes left in the second half, Blaines Eli Dugger and Nooksacks Gustavo Felix both making a number of quality saves during the nip-and-tuck affair.
The winning goal in the South Whidbey game also came with two minutes left. Problem was it was a SW tally.

Krista snaps up wins
Blaines Krista Walter whiffed 13-of-17 Trojan batters as she tossed a one-hit 12-1 NCC fastpitch victory over Meridian on March 29 at the Pipe. The Borderite bat brigade augmented Walters arm du jour performance, going 12-for-24 at the plate.
Holly Strickler went 3-for-4, rapped out a couple of doubles and drove home five runs for the Lady Bs. Jynessa Trennepohl, who collected 2 RBIs, also went 3-for-4 and Sirita Lawson was 1-for-3 with 2 more RBIs for Blaine.
Despite out-hitting Lynden Christian 11-5, Blaine dropped a 6-5 decision to LC on March 25 at Lynden C. Stickler again went 3-for-4 for the Lady Bs. LC committed 6 errors and Blaine, 5 as only one earned run was scored by each team. Shauna Tinklenburg got the win; Walter, the loss.

inning stretch to win
It was a dream week for Blaine as Gary Clausens crew twice came from behind in the bottom of the 7th to win a pair of NCC baseball games, defeating Mt. Baker 10-8 on March 29 at Deming and 6-5 on March 28 at the Pipe.
The Borderites tossed in a 9-2 non-league win over Lynden on March 25 at the Pipe to get things started.
Down 8-5 in the final frame, Blaine combined five walks, a wild pitch, an error and a single to score five runs to take lead in the Deming duel. Grant Sanders, who blanked MB over the final four frames, stopped Baker in their half of the 7th for the win. Craig Anderson (3-for-5, 2 doubles, 3 RBIs, 3 runs scored), Kyle Green (2-for-4, a double), and Laird Dickie (1-for-4, 2 RBIs) were the premier batsmen.
Although out-hit 8-2 by Mt. Baker in the March 28 match, Blaine cobbled together sufficient statistics of the winning kind runs to win 6-5. With the tilt tied 5-5 in Blaines half of the 7th, Anderson singled, stole second, took third on a groundout and scored the winner on a wild pitch. Craig, who relieved starter Laird Dickie in the sixth, got credit for the win.
Bryan Galbraith picked up the win in the Lynden game. Galbraith (2-for-2, 3 RBIs), Dickie (2-for-3, 3 RBIs), and Green (2-for-4, a double and RBI) led Blaines bat barrage.

HG setting powder! It lasts all day, is a perfect match for my NW15/NW20 skin tone, doesn't cake - it makes your skin look flawless. Not a lot of coverage but it does even out your skin a little. I mostly love it for its staying power and the way it sits on your skin. Controls oil well. I've been through so many of these powders and will continue to repurchase!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this for about a week and really like it. I have dry flakey skin with an oily tzone, and was worried this would make my dry skin look worse, but it doesn't. I spray some fix+ on a brush so its slightly damp and then buff the powder into my skin. It doesn't have great coverage but it does help cover redness a bit and just makes my skin look smooth and glowy. It is expensive ($30) but this is the first foundation I've found that doesn't look horrible on my skin, so I would definately repurchase again and again if it continues to work well. Even after 8+ hours of wear it looks pretty good still. One thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't help with oilyness at all.
Edit: after using this for a few weeks every day, I was breaking out really bad from this. I know it was from this because I would stop wearing it for a while, skin would clear up, then if I wore it for just a few hours I'd break out again :/ not good.
This powder is amazing and so easy to use. I apply a light layer of Colorstay (Pale), blend it in, rub my Shiseido velour puff into the Skinfinish, press it all over my face, and then buff in my blush (La Femme). I also rub some Boots liquid highligher onto the high points of my face, and it blends perfectly with the texture of the Skinfinish.
I can't believe how long the Skinfinish lasts. I don't get oily or sweaty through the makeup at all. It looks even, clean, and satiny all day, and it doesn't look dry or harsh immediately after application (some powders take a little time to "set").
I was worried this powder would break me out because Bare Escentuals upset my skin so much, but I don't seem to be having any problems. I'd recommend this powder to anyone.
I'm extreamly pale and even this shade is a little too light for me.
Has a tendency to make my skin look look a little ashy, almost grey in pictures so i have now opted for the Light Plus shade.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this over MAC Studio Fix Fluid & it creates such a gorgeous finish...very natural, not shimmery, not flat matte. Good coverage over foundation but not enough on its own.
I love this powder, and "Light" is the perfect shade for me, perfect for my pale skin tone. I love how it gives me such a natural and pretty finish.
THIS IS FOR THE LIGHT PLUS: Every time I wear this, people mention how nice my skin looks. I use this by itself, just over my spf or moisturizer, depending if it's day or night, and it gives a light, natural coverage that evens out my complexion and gives a fresh, soft glow. The only thing I don't like is that you can't really take it with you because it breaks up when the compact gets jostled around. But it's one of my favorite MAC products ever! :)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have purchased this product multiple times. I enjoy the finish is produces, as well as the coverage. It matches my skin perfect, and does not break me out. I am absolutely in love with this product.
My go to mineral powder when i want light coverage. I love it.
I like this. I buy it in light (although the SAs always try to make me buy medium even though I'm about an NW10!).
Great during Winter when my skin is dry. No complaints there.
In the summer though when I'm quite oily, it does clump a lot around my t-zone. To be fair though, this does happen with a lot of powders so in the summer I use Chanel's Mat Lumiere Powder.
Don't let it fall as I seem to do every time I get a new one. It will smash every time!

Morgantown-based Performance Pipeline LLC claims Antero Resources Corp. is to blame for delays in completing a roughly 5-mile-long section of gas and water lines it was commissioned to build in Doddridge County.
Antero, headquartered in Colorado, had sued Performance Pipeline for breach of contract in November, alleging the local contractor lacked the equipment and personnel to do the job properly and claiming it had been forced to hire another company to complete the work and make repairs.
Performance Pipeline, however, alleges in its response it was Antero's changing demands and directives that caused it to fall behind. The Morgantown company, which had filed mechanics liens in September against Antero properties in Doddridge, Ritchie and Tyler counties, has countered by asking a federal judge in Elkins to order Antero to pay it the more than $1.5 million it says it is owed, plus interest.
Antero terminated its contract with Performance in August, about six months after issuing the Morgantown company notice to proceed with construction of a 27,500-foot section of gas and water lines for its Mountain Pipeline project.
Performance Pipeline insists Antero never provided it with a project order form detailing the work to be performed, had made numerous changes and additions without regard to the Master Construction Services Agreement they'd signed and failed to pay for work done.
The Morgantown company alleged numerous other problems, including access roads Antero had said would be available to it but weren't, changes in rights of way from those depicted in original drawings and instructions to do additional work "for which a pricing plan was not agreed nor was a Project Order Form offered by Antero." The counterclaim suggests Antero "continually changed and delayed the timeline of the project … by directing Performance to perform work not included in the agreed timeline."
"Despite directing numerous changes to the work being performed by Performance, Antero refused to and never provided Performance with any written or specific additions of work, change orders or Project Order Forms to follow; instead, the project moved based upon Antero's finger-pointing or chalkboard notes," the Morgantown company claimed in its response.
Performance said Antero should have known "its drastic changes to the progression and direction of Performance's work" would impact both the project's timeline and its bottom line.
Performance Pipeline suggested Antero's "refusal to agree to pricing terms on the Mountain Project jeopardized not only Performance's ability to complete the project, but also the livelihood of Performance Pipeline, which had advanced more material costs and required more labor than projected because the work demanded by Antero continually changed... ."

AFCD Survey of Local Fung Shui Woods
The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department initiated a territory-wide fung shui wood survey in 2002. In just over a year, the Plant Working Group surveyed 116 fung shui woods for their latest status. Plants and environmental information were gathered to establish a complete database (a list of fung shui woods in Hong Kong can be found in the Appendix). This information helps us assess the ecological value of fung shui woods from a holistic territorial perspective, and identify sites that require a higher level of protection. All these elements will be taken into account in the formulation of conservation policies.
Distribution and Settings
Fung shui woods at Luk Keng area
Fung shui woods and rural settlements have an inseparable link. The distribution of fung shui woods reflects the distribution and general development of villages.
Large fung shui woods are found mainly near the northeastern border of the New Territories (e.g. Lai Chi Wo, Sheung Wo Hang, Muk Min Tau, Luk Keng), Sai Kung (e.g. Lai Chi Chong, Wong Chuk Yeung) and Ma On Shan (e.g. Mui Tsz Lam, Mau Ping San Uk). The fung shui woods in these areas are generally well preserved and less disturbed owing to their remoteness. Typical fung shui woods also exist in Shatin, Tai Po (e.g. Fung Yuen, Shing Mun Tai Wai) and Lam Tsuen (e.g. She Shan Tsuen, Tai Om). Fortunately, these forests were preserved during the development of new towns. In Lantau and the northwestern New Territories, fung shui woods are usually smaller and often disturbed by human activities. On Hong Kong Island, the only existing fung shui wood is the one in Nam Fung Road.
Wong Chuk Yeung fung shui wood at Sai Kung
A typical fung shui wood is fronted by agricultural fields and back onto hills. Given this topographical constraint, it is generally limited in size. The average area of a fung shui wood is 1 hectare. The smallest wood (Wong Chuk Yeung) is only 600 m2, while the largest one (Shing Mun) spreads across 6 hectares. Since most villages are built on plains or valleys, 80% of fung shui woods are lowland sites of 100m elevation or less. Ngong Ping (Ma On Shan) is the only fung shui wood that stands over 300m above sea level.
As a general rule, forests of higher elevation, given their remoteness, are subject to less human disturbance. These woods are much better preserved with richer plant diversity.
Plant Community Structure
Vertical stratification of plants in fung shui woods
Stepping into a fung shui wood, you enter a secluded and dark domain as most of the sunlight is blocked out by towering trees. This upperstory is called the tree stratum. In a mature fung shui wood, the canopy of the tree stratum is dense. The uppermost storey is made up of very tall trees like the Endospermum (Endospermum chinense) and Schima (Schima superba). Often growing to more than 20 m, the canopies of these trees are clearly visible from the outside of the wood, while inside the forest you can only see their trunks. The tree stratum also has smaller members, including the Lanced-leaved Sterculia (Sterculia lanceolata), Incense Tree (Aquilaria sinensis), Chekiang Machilus (Machilus chekiangensis) and Fleshy Nut Tree (Sarcosperma laurinum). On tree trunks, mosses and other climbers are common. Under the tree straum is a shrub stratum, dominated by plants like Wild Coffee (Psychotria asiatica) and Asiatic Ardisia (Ardisia quinquegona).

As you can see, plants of different heights form different layers. This is a very common phenomenon in forests, known as vertical stratification of plants. Photo index of Plants of Fung Shui Wood

The Conservation Value of Fung Shui Woods
Chinese Bulbul
From a conservation point of view, fung shui woods can be considered remnants of Hong Kong's native low-elevation broad-leaved forests. By preserving the rural landscape and habitats, these forests play a key role in maintaining biodiversity. In particular, fung shui woods can preserve lowland tree species which are fast disappearing due to habitat destruction. These plants provide the sources of natural succession and recruitment for nearby habitats, hence maintaining the biodiversity in the ecosystem at large.
Fung shui woods are generally limited in size, but as long as they are preserved intact, they can provide food and shelters for many wild animals. The thick canopies of banyan trees offer great shelter, and are favourite bird nesting sites. All in all, the fung shui wood is a vibrant and dynamic habitat for wildlife.
Fung shui woods, with their rich flora and fauna, have immeasurable value for scientific research. Their unique ecological features and species composition provide valuable reference for our study of Hong Kong's native vegetation. This information is an important reference for selecting the right species for afforestation. A fung shui wood is like a living herbarium or plant museum, offering valuable resources for both academic research and nature conservation.

Press Releases
AoA and CMS Announce $500,000 for Community-based Long-Term Care Recovery Efforts Following Hurricane Katrina
WASHINGTON, DC – Administration on Aging (AoA) Assistant Secretary Josefina Carbonell and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mark McClellan announced today that two states impacted by Hurricane Katrina have each received an additional $250,000 in hurricane relief funds.
The State Units on Aging in Louisiana and Mississippi will use these funds to support a coordinated emergency response through their existing home and community-based services systems. These State Units on Aging will work to ensure that the health and safety of people with disabilities of all ages will be served through community-based long-term support programs funded through Medicaid Waivers or the Older Americans Act in a way that will lead to a more integrated infrastructure of access for older Americans and people with disabilities.Nearly 150,000 individuals are served in Louisiana and Mississippi by these programs.
"The needs of older Americans and people with disabilities must guide our efforts to rebuild a stronger long-term support infrastructure in the communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina." said Dr. McClellan "The hurricane relief grants to Louisiana and Mississippi will support these states' efforts to ensure that people with disabilities of all ages are able to safely return to their homes and communities."
Louisiana and Mississippi previously received Aging and Disability Resource Center grants from AoA and CMS to develop "one-stop" programs at the community level that help people make informed decisions about their service and support options and serve as the entry point to the long-term support system. These additional funds will enhance those efforts to develop a system of seamless access to long-term care through the Aging and Disability Resource Center initiative by allowing these states to focus more immediate attention on the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.
"In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, we are committed to helping Louisiana and Mississippi in their efforts to redirect their systems of long-term care to be more consumer-driven and supportive of home and community-based service options as an alternative to institutional care," explained Assistant Secretary Carbonell.
These grants to Louisiana and Mississippi are just one component of a larger effort on the part of the Department of Health and Human Services to provide hurricane relief and recovery support.

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

5 Biotech Stocks Rising on Unusual Volume
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in AEZS as long as it's trending above today's low of $1.90, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 5700,360 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then AEZS will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from October that started above $3. Any high-volume move above its 50-day at $2.98 will then put $3.55 to $4 into focus for AEZS.
Endocyte (ECYT)
This is a biopharmaceutical company developing targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. It uses its proprietary technology to create novel small molecule drug conjugates, or SMDCs, and companion imaging diagnose. This stock is trading up 9.9% to $8.52 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $7.75-$8.5152-Week Range: $3.02-$11.11 Volume: 242,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 226,471 Shares of ECYT are soaring today after Summer Street started coverage on the stock with a buy rating and an $18 price target. From a technical perspective, ECYT is exploding higher here right near its 200-day moving average of $7.39 with above-average volume. This move has also pushed ECYT into breakout territory, since the stock has moved above some near-term overhead resistance at $8.24. This move is coming after ECYT recently downtrended from a high of $10.97 to its recent low of $7.50. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ECYT as long as it's trending above its 200-day at $7.39, and then once it sustains a move or close above $8.24 with volume that hits near or above 226,471 shares. If ECYT can maintain that trend, then this stock will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $9.50 to $10. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $10.68 to $10.97 into focus for ECYT.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
News is a little different in Europe, but there's no escaping U.S. election
This is another morning when election stories top the news in many U.S. dailies — there are three such Page One pieces in our hometown Washington Post, plus one photo and teases to three inside items — making this a good day to see what our newspaper colleagues in Europe are reporting to their readers.
Starting in lovely Andorra, nestled in the mountains between France and Spain, the Catalan-language Diari d'Andorra reports that the new apartments of Arinsal will cost 135,000 euros, no small amount to the locals. Die Presse in Vienna, Austria, plays up a study claiming that satisfaction in the country sinks. The competing Kurier in Vienna tells its readers that this is the peak season for "Dancing Stars." The Wall Street Journal Europe, published in Brussels, Belgium, takes a look at the upcoming American elections and warns that "U.S. vote is risk for stocks," while the Dutch-language De Morgen leads with the premier urging his own government to be realistic. In Paris, La Tribune reports that "America fears stagflation" and Die Welt in Hamburg, Germany, also leads with an economic story, this one reporting that there will be more money in the purse with taxes to be cut. La Repubblica in Rome finds space on its busy Page One to offer an item we may go back to check, about finding today on the newsstands something called "Welcome to English."
And speaking of English, The Herald in Glasgow and The Guardian in London offer Page One photos of Hillary Clinton, with the Scottish daily reporting that "Clinton seeks to blunt Obama lead" and the English one claiming that it's "Back to basics" for Hillary as she "borrows a soapbox." Not to be left out of the fray in the colonies, The Daily Telegraph in London has a Page One photo of Clinton and Barack Obama, reporting that "Desperate Hillary fights for survival." There's no escape from the U.S. political landscape, even in Madrid, Spain, where we find a story at the bottom of Page One of El Mundo about "the great serious change to have a woman president." We give up and will read the U.S. dailies tomorrow.

What The Papers Say - 18 May
Everton's managerial role remains the talk of Saturday's papers.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
The topic of who replaces David Moyes as manager of Everton continues to feature heavily in Saturday's newspapers.
The Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and Liverpool Echo report that the next Blues boss could be someone who has already worked alongside Moyes at the football club.
Also in the Daily Mail, Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez says it would be 'quite difficult for them [Everton] to approach me and maybe even for me to go there'.
In the Daily Star, Roberto Martinez is again linked to the position after admitting the time might be right for him to step down as Wigan Athletic boss.
The Daily Mirror features an interview with departing skipper Phil Neville who explains that winning over the Everton fans was one of the biggest achievements in his professional career.
