For some folks a cup of joe is simply a morning eye-opener. Others treat it as an art form, curating the ingredients and crafting the brew using exacting techniques and fancy gadgets. But you don't need to make major investments in equipment to experience a great drink - there are plenty of low-key spots where you can unload the laptop, or meet up with friends, while enjoying cutting-edge caffeine artistry. Additionally, many area restaurants are upping the ante with their coffee programs, sourcing freshly roasted beans and offering custom blends, French press and more. Here's a guide to places with high-end coffee cred.

A recent Yahoo! Sports story suggested that New York Jets running back Shonn Greene is in favor a quarterback switch from Mark Sanchez to Tim Tebow. In speaking with reporters following today's practice, Greene insisted that the story couldn't be further from the truth.
"I think the quotes were totally out of context," said Greene. "What I said is, "We're 3-6 and things need to change." I never said anything about changing the quarterback or anything about any single person on this team. I've been here four years, and I've never once said anything about anybody on this team."
Greene is a popular player in the locker room and regarded as a positive source of inspiration for his fellow teammates, who try to emulate his work ethic and leadership. So when it was reported that Gang Green's starting tailback was leading a mutiny against Sanchez, it came as a shock to many, most notably Greene himself.
"Actually, I had a friend text me the article and I was shocked," exclaimed Greene. "I knew nothing about the article. First off, the article was supposed to be about me. It was supposed to be a feature about me and where I'm at right now. How it turned into me saying this about this person and that person, I don't know."
A possible ploy by the media to generate controversy around a team that can't seem to stay off the back pages and out of the headlines isn't out of the ordinary in the New York market. With the Jets under harsh and often times sensationalistic media scrutiny, Greene wants his team to shift its focus to how it can improve on the gridiron, instead of fueling the media circus.
"Yeah, because first it was yesterday's article and now, today, it's with me," uttered Greene. "It's like, 'Come on, really?' We just want to play football. That's all we want to do."

"The real payoff may not arrive for years to come, because we're systematically exposing an entire generation of artists to this subject matter for the first time but it's always nice to have a few big hits, like 'A Beautiful Mind,' so people understand what you're talking about."—Doron Weber on the Sloan Foundation's efforts to use art to improve the public's understanding of science and technology. (via poptech)
Surprise! Facebook, Google, Yahoo Fight "Do Not Track" Privacy Measures
Californian legislators are slowly pushing ahead with a Do Not Track law introduced by Senator Alan Lowenthal, which would force Net companies to allow consumers to easily and effectively opt out of personal data being collected online—violators could face civil legal action. Lowenthal has noted that in his opinion legislation "is consistent with California's long history of championing privacy issues."
But now Facebook, Google, Yahoo and other companies have written to Lowenthal to state their specific objections. "The measure would negatively affect consumers who have come to expect rich content and free services through the Internet" is one of their counter-arguments, along with an allegation that a no-track law would make the public "more vulnerable to security threats." Also, forcing the law through would "prove costly to the state" and also "cumbersome for the Attorney General to figure out how to regulate under the bill and to enforce the law."
Really Google?? A Do Not Track button puts users at risk of security breaches? Yeah that sounds legit. Please, tell us more.
For decades, we have held in contempt those who actively celebrate death.
But in the years since 9/11, we have begun vaguely mimicking those we say we despise, sometimes celebrating bloodshed against those we see as Bad Guys just as vigorously as our enemies celebrate bloodshed against innocent Americans they (wrongly) deem as Bad Guys. Indeed, an America that once carefully refrained from flaunting gruesome pictures of our victims for fear of engaging in ugly death euphoria now ogles pictures of Uday and Qusay's corpses, rejoices over images of Saddam Hussein's hanging and throws a party at news that bin Laden was shot in the head."—
This is bin Laden's lamentable victory: He has changed America's psyche from one that saw violence as a regrettable-if-sometimes-necessary act into one that finds orgasmic euphoria in news of bloodshed. In other words, he's helped drag us down into his sick nihilism by making us like too many other bellicose societies in history — the ones that aggressively cheer on killing, as long as it is the Bad Guy that is being killed.
Read more from David Sirota on why Bin Laden's death is a great relief, but by cheering it we're mimicking our worst enemies.
"The Killing Of Osama Bin Laden Shows How to Win A Modern PR War."—
Equally impressive as the military operation to kill Osama Bin Laden is the media strategy that accompanied it, which embraces a post-Twitter world where images can inspire millions to rage — and retaliation.
Equally impressive as the military operation to kill Osama Bin Laden is the media strategy that accompanied it, which embraces a post-Twitter world where images can inspire millions to rage — and retaliation.
Amid the stunning news of the surgical American commando operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, one feature looms large in the background: The extraordinarily careful, strategic, and savvy media management of the strike and its aftermath.
Perhaps the most notable feature has been the complete lack of battlefield imagery; instead, all we've gotten so far is the powerful, somber announcement from President Obama at the lectern in the East Room, and old file images of Bin Laden. (We've also gotten a blurry image of the Bin Laden compound, perhaps taken after the fact, and some ridiculous faked imagery.) Images from the scene outside Islamabad may yet emerge, but for now, the lack of them reads as a savvy, precisely calibrated decision.

£45,000 grant aids county school games
2:00pm Saturday 14th December 2013 in News
A SCHOOL sports competition has been boosted by a £45,000 National Lottery grant.
School Games festivals are set to take place across the country next year with the Oxfordshire events taking place at Abingdon School in April and July.
This week the contest came a step closer when the Oxfordshire organising committee was given funding from Sport England.
Fraser Long, chairman of the Oxfordshire Sainsbury's School Games Local Organising Committee, said: "Building on the great success of the past, the programme promises to offer every child in Oxfordshire the opportunity to take part in more high quality competitive school sport than ever before.
"The culmination of this will be two inspirational festivals, held in the spring and summer, hosted by Abingdon School."
The games are expected to be among the 150 School Games festivals taking place across the country next year. The events mark the end of year-round school competitions with the best athletes competing in more than 30 sports including athletics, hockey and swimming.
John Steele, chief executive at the Youth Sport Trust, said: "The funding for these festivals will help make the events an exciting and inspiring occasion for those taking part."

Ancestry.com Acquires Find A Grave

Ancestry.com Acquires Find A Grave
Posted by Diane
We just received an announcement that online genealogy company Ancestry.com has purchased Find A Grave, the site with the largest database of free burial information and photos contributed by volunteers.
Find A Grave will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ancestry.com, and will continue to be managed by its founder, Jim Tipton.
I already hear people asking if the site will remain free. Yes, says Ancestry.com president Tim Sullivan. From the press release:
"We will maintain Find A Grave as a free website, will retain its existing policies and mode of operation, and look forward to working with Jim Tipton and the entire Find A Grave team to accelerate the development of tools designed to make it even easier for the Find A Grave community to fulfill its original mission to capture every tombstone on Earth."
I've found family tombstone photos on Find A Grave, and you probably have, too. The 18-year-old site has 100 million memorials to deceased people, and 75 million photos, a significant addition to Ancestry.com's content.
Ancestry.com plans for Find A Grave include a mobile app for uploading cemetery photos (Billion Graves, another cemetery website, has one), improved customer support, an easier editing of already-submitted memorials and foreign-language support.
This isn't the first time Ancestry.com has acquired a free, grassroots genealogy site: You may remember back in 2000, when the company (then called MyFamily.com) purchased RootsWeb. In 2008, RootsWeb was moved onto Ancestry.com servers.
We'll bring you more details as we learn them.
Update: Here's an FAQ on the acquisition from Tipton, who says he realized "Find A Grave had gotten too big to run it as I always have and I also realized that I might not be around some day ... and I wanted to make sure it had a stable home, while still retaining control over how it evolves. But ... I'm hoping this gives me the opportunity to do so many of the things that I've always wanted to do with the site now that I have some real resources behind me."

RE: Congressman Abraham Maus Schermerhorn
I deleted the illustration from the Wikipedia pages for Abraham S. Schermerhorn and the 28th Congressional District, too.
I couldn't delete it from Wikimedia Commons, but I did change the description to indicate the correct identity of the subject.

RE: Congressman Abraham Maus Schermerhorn
You're right.
I don't know whether I looked at the wrong page or what, but the picture in question is clearly Jacob Maus Schermerhorn.
I'll delete it from the Abraham Maus Schermerhorn page and see if I can find one of him to add to his memorial page.

Thank you for the edit information about the above person at Fairmount Cemetery here in Cape Girardeau. If you would like this transferred to you, I would be glad to do that. The reason I put her memorial page on was my self appointed mission to photograph every grave at Fairmount last year. It was finished last fall and was quite a task but I love doing this as a volunteer.
Your information in your bio was interesting about ancestry.com buying find a grave. I certainly hope it remains free. I am a member of ancestry and will continue to do that but a lot of people are not. Thanks for all your work. Ruth Smith

RE: Memorial 85173437
The obituary lists his children so I know it is my great grandfather but the link to the Washington State Archives lists parents as Peter and Ida (Summers) Williams. My William Williams with the children listed in the obituary had parents named James and Tabitha (Summers) Williams. His first wife was Julia Easley who he had all of his children with. He next married Hettie (Summers) Stockton and after about a year they divorced. They had no children together. Apparently he later married Frances Goodwell. She died in 1931 and he married Nellie (Athy) Bugg in 1934. According to my family, he was born August 12, 1866. I emailed Traycx and Alice is a cousin that I have been collaborating with. Alice agrees that his parents were James and Tabitha, in fact, she was the one who told me who his parents were because I did not have a clue. Anyway, thank you so much for your help! I have been looking for him for quite a while!

Bynum is hardly a franchise center. He hasnt proved anything except he gets hurt a lot. Hawes is so underrated........and has played great this season. Sixers problems are in defense and shooting. Losing Iguadola hurt the D, and lou williams the shooting. Is nick young and evan turner supposed to replace these holes? Sixers blundered in that deal. Rick Carlise deserves coach of the year so far. Thibs second. Both these teams are playing very good basketball with make shift line ups. Id say Rose though is the biggest loss. Chicago can play the system, and win some.......but without rose they go nowhere post season. And whats up with eric gordon? One suspects he never plays a minute for NOLO.
Give-and-Go: Examining the implications of the league's knee injury epidemic
By Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney
Give-and-Go is a recurring feature in which The Point Forward's Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney bat an NBA topic du jour back and forth.
We're just a week and change into the NBA season, but the deluge of injuries is well underway. Teams across the league are scrambling to account for stars and role players lost to surgery and rehabilitation, and, in a strange bit of coincidence, the lion's share of the wounded are currently suffering from knee-related injuries. Today we discuss the players and teams affected by those ailments, including: Derrick Rose, Eric Gordon, Danny Granger, Dirk Nowitzki, Andrew Bynum, John Wall, Amar'e Stoudemire, Brandon Rush, Iman Shumpert, Ricky Rubio and Grant Hill.
1. Derrick Rose aside, which player's absence will have the biggest impact on his team's playoff chances?
Rob Mahoney: In a vacuum, Dirk Nowitzki would seem to be the easy pick. Dallas teams have historically fared miserably with Nowitzki out of the lineup, and though the Mavs' current roster has little in common with those of years past, the overall talent level still suggests some serious reason for offensive concern.
But with those same, limited Mavs currently boasting a top-three mark in offensive efficiency, I'd say they've earned the benefit of the doubt. There still isn't enough firepower for Dallas to maintain its current output, but the early-season schedule is kind enough that Darren Collison and O.J. Mayo — both of whom have been outstanding — can manage an early-season run without detonating Dallas' playoff hopes.
That leaves us with Danny Granger. The off-screen challengers in the Eastern Conference may not be all that formidable, and in all honesty, the notion of the Pacers falling out of the playoff picture altogether is pretty unrealistic. But that doesn't mean Granger's three-month absence won't have a significant bearing on the Pacers' hopes; a team previously pegged for the second or third seed in the East is now in legitimate danger of slipping into the seventh or eighth slot. That kind of freefall wouldn't be just an inconvenience; it would create a gauntlet of mid-to-upper-tier opponents that Indiana would have virtually no hope of surviving.
Ben Golliver: I'm mildly surprised you didn't go with Andrew Bynum, a true franchise center who hasn't yet made an appearance for the Sixers after this summer's four-team blockbuster trade. Granger's known timeline of three months guarantees that his absence will require meaningful adjustments for the Pacers; Bynum's hazy outlook — injections, indefinite timetables, etc. — leaves Philadelphia in purgatory. Back-to-back ugly losses to the Knicks seemed to render an early verdict on how the Sixers will fare without him. Their replacements — Spencer Hawes, Lavoy Allen and Kwame Brown — are inadequate and the retooled perimeter group doesn't pack enough punch because Evan Turner still hasn't made the leap. I don't think Philly's trade for Bynum deserves to be second-guessed — the Iguodala-led squad had gone as far as it could and he's able to opt out next summer — but the last four months have unfolded along a worst case scenario path.
2. Which of these do you see as the most career-altering for the player?
BG: I worry a lot about the Warriors' Brandon Rush, perhaps because of just how gruesome that knee injury looked and because it's so fresh in the mind. I think, though, the answer is Amar'e Stoudemire, whose knees have long been seen as ticking time bombs since he underwent microfracture surgeries earlier in his career. If the Knicks continue to play at a high level without him, Mike Woodson will find himself in a position where it's incredibly difficult to justify reinserting Stoudemire back into the starting lineup and playing him big minutes until he's 100 percent. Carmelo Anthony at the 4 — surrounded by three shooters — has just worked too well and produced heights of offensive efficiency that are virtually impossible for an Anthony/Stoudemire duo to produce. The looming issue, of course, is that Stoudemire has $65 million coming to him over this season and the next two, and the Knicks have already used their amnesty clause. If the Knicks' play turns average or worse, it's possible that Stoudemire's contract and star power push him back into a major role. If the Knicks remain among the East's top teams, though, his return, especially to the starting lineup, offers more risks than rewards. It's too early to say whether that calculus will remain the same next year and beyond, but I only see his numbers tumbling after he turns 30, which will happen next week.
RM: There's no question that Stoudemire's career has and will continue to be shaped by what his knees allow him to do. But I want to go back to Rush for a moment, because that brutal ACL tear will ultimately rob a solid player of the prime of his career.
Rush has neither an immense body of work nor the benefit of youth on his side, and he will face a long recovery without all that much hope of rediscovering the player he once was. Though we often take notice of a player's diminished post-op vertical, not much is said about how these kinds of injuries affect lateral movement. That's where Rush figures to be hit particularly hard. As a mediocre NBA athlete, Rush doesn't have a half-step to spare in his efforts to defend the perimeter. All it takes to strip a strong wing defender of his power is the slightest of hesitations, and if this injury and recovery make Rush any less mobile, then his value as a role player is greatly diminished. That fall may not be as stark as the one that Stoudemire has experienced over the last few seasons, but it significantly alters Rush's capacity to earn minutes and a subsequent contract.
3. Which team has handled the player's absence the best? The worst?
RM: Dallas deserves the nod. It's not at all surprising that this season's Mavs are impeccably coached and working hard, but the fairly instant offensive chemistry has been quite a surprise. Rick Carlisle has allowed Dallas' best players to dictate the flow of the offense, but ceding that control to new Mavericks like Collison and Mayo is hardly the same as trusting in the likes of Jason Kidd and Jason Terry. It's taken a substantial leap of faith for the Mavs to get where they are now, and Carlisle's willingness to make that leap has paid off handsomely.
Nowitzki, Chris Kaman, Elton Brand, Shawn Marion, and Rodrigue Beaubois have all missed games due to injury. But on roll the Mavs, unencumbered by heavy expectations or even basketball logic. This team probably shouldn't be as good as it currently is, but unselfish play, productive offensive concepts and a wholly cohesive roster has allowed a team outmatched on paper to jump off the page.
As for the worst of the bunch: woe be the Wizards. These first few games have been an exercise in John Wall appreciation, as the alternative of having an offense initiated by A.J. Price has resulted in some miserable play (even by Wizards standards). Washington has certainly had its moments, and every game is filled with teaching points. But boy is this team fairly unwatchable without Wall, competitive point margins be damned.
The Mavericks have been amazing but I'll also tip my cap to the Timberwolves, who are 3-1 without Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love (down for a bit with broken bones in his hand). Dallas' success looks more sustainable but Minnesota, under Rick Adelman, has been fun to watch and pleasantly surprising. Their dramatic comeback to top the Nets has probably been the signature performance so far but there's plenty to like all-around. Nikola Pekovic is blossoming (at least if someone that rugged can "blossom"), Andrei Kirilenko hasn't skipped a beat in his return to the NBA and Luke Ridnour has done just fine holding down the fort. Brandon Roy's been a bit of a disappointment and yet his shooting struggles and limited mobility have been accompanied by a new-found willingness to serve as a distributor. If the entertainment factor is already there with this team, imagine what it could be once Rubio and Love return.
BG: Co-sign on the Wizards being the team most shell-shocked by the loss of Wall. There was clearly no contingency plan in place and a winless first week was the result. I also haven't been totally enamored with the Hornets' approach to Eric Gordon's complicated situation. Too many contradictions and too much muddled talk from GM Dell Demps, coach Monty Williams and Gordon himself. The decision for Gordon to pursue his rehabilitation outside of New Orleans only adds another layer of confusion. The injury seemed too big for the franchise at times, with leaked reports of possible microfracture surgery, conflicting assessments from Gordon and the doctor and a fan base anxious to see its new max player take the court after virtually an entire season off. Maybe the time away will be a good thing, maybe not. Either way, they need to get their story straighter once he gets back in town.
4. Is the "Knicks are better off without Amare' Stoudemire" talk fair or unfair?
BG: Totally fair, as discussed above. It's not totally Stoudemire's fault that he doesn't work well with Anthony, but there's absolutely no question which of the two players you would prefer if you were forced to pick one. It would take a remarkable return to health or a completely new approach to defense, passing and shot selection for Stoudemire to work well with the new Knicks in anything other than a reduced role.
RM: I'm inclined to agree. The Knicks should never have put these two players in this position to begin with, but these things tend to happen in a league with such unpredictable trade and free-agent markets. New York overspent to get Stoudemire and then gave up too much to get Anthony — effectively capping and trapping themselves into the current core, and giving themselves no room to maneuver in case things didn't work out. With that in mind, it really does boil down to a with-or-without Stoudemire binary; we've seen enough of both scenarios to begin drawing legitimate conclusions, and the data is fairly one-sided. Were Stoudemire either a passable defender or a more versatile offensive player, then this wouldn't be as much of a problem. But Amar'e's game hinges on a few select bits of spacing and play action that simply aren't available to him in an offense dominated by Anthony, thus making things far too complicated when both players share the court.
5. Rose aside, which player's comeback are you most anticipating?
RM: Oddly enough: Eric Gordon. Given the subtext of quotes from both Gordon and Hornets head coach Monty Williams on the subject of this particular injury, it's safe to say that we don't yet have the entire story. Maybe we never will. But the parallel anxieties on part of both player and coach have been communicated with long pauses and clear contradictions, and the intrigue spins 'round and 'round with Gordon's in-scrum circumvention.
But regardless of what strange things are afoot with the Hornets' internal politics, Gordon is the piece that could give this roster the balance it so badly needs. New Orleans is already playing some pretty impressive D, but Greivis Vasquez simply doesn't draw enough attention on his drives to really open things up for an entire offense. A successful offense is predicated as much on projected threats as actual ones, and with a roster of role players and rookies, the Hornets just don't have the necessary pull to score efficiently sans Gordon.
He won't solve all of New Orleans' problems; Vasquez's lack of gravity will still be an issue, and the deficit in shot-creating talent remains glaring. But a healthy Gordon would be a substantial help in all of the Hornets' offensive efforts, and it would allow an entertaining, engaged team to take a big step forward.
BG: As much as I want to see Bynum, Nowitzki, Wall and Rubio all do what they do, I'm going with a total sleeper here in Iman Shumpert. I admit up front this is probably more of an emotional pick than a basketball pick but there's a very good chance that circumstances fall together just right so that he could have an electric impact on the Knicks' season. His aggressive defense as a rookie deserved, and received, praise; his hustle and personality established him as a Madison Square Garden favorite early on. (The box cut hairdo is the icing on that cake.) Should the Knicks continue to find themselves solidly in the playoff picture, Shumpert's return could be a powder keg moment for the Knicks and their fans. We saw how special Linsanity was last season; here's hoping Shumpert's return brings a solid piece back into the rotation plus a sequel to 2012′s Big Apple hoops excitement.

Castelli Flanders Wool Long Sleeve Base Layer $99.95
Who said being sheepish was a bad thing?
Before the advent of synthetic lycras and waffle-weaves, cyclists wore natural fibers such as wool and real chamois leather. And, although you may feel faster wearing all of the latest textiles, for some purposes, wool trumps them all. The Castelli Flanders Wool Long Sleeve Base Layer is a natural alternative to the latest synth craze.
The purpose of a base layer is twofold. First, it provides a comfortable barrier between your skin and outer layers, such as bib tights' straps or rain jackets, and second, it helps to regulate your core temperature. The latter is accomplished by pulling moisture away from the skin so that cold winter air does not create an evaporative cooling effect. Whereas other base layers rely upon combinations of fabrics to wick moisture, the 18 gauge merino wool, from which the Flanders base layer was constructed, does it all.
Merino wool is most known for its non-abrasive qualities, but the benefits don't stop there. Merino wool is what we call a "hydrophilic" fiber, meaning that it has the natural ability to positively interact with water. In fact, Merino is able to absorb as much as 30 percent of its weight before exuding the sensation of wetness. Truthfully, when was the last time you saw a soggy sheep? Because it is able to hold so much moisture, even though the cold air may slow evaporation, your skin will remain dry. When skin is dry, body heat is able to create a small barrier of warm air that acts as an insulating layer.
Additionally, merino wool is naturally antimicrobial. It is a base layer fabric of choice for multi-day adventurers because it does not hold odors. This property is furthered by Merino's natural ability to disperse electrostatic charges, which means your base layer will not pick up lint or dust.
In addition to a form-fit, the Flanders base layer features a high crewneck collar to keep cold from creeping down the front. There are few seams, but when necessary, Castelli uses flat lock stitching to minimize chafing. The back is slightly extended to stay tucked into your bib tights.
The Castelli Flanders Wool Long Sleeve Base Layer is available in sizes Small to XX-Large in the color

Warm when it's cold. Cooler as it warms up. Comfortable up to about 60 or 65 degrees. Dries very fast and is still effective if slightly damp from mist, sweat, etc as only wool can be. Very comfortable - wore it all day on a cool double century. Keep them in a Ziploc bag... moths love them too! I own two for now.

Customized Training held in the past
Conference Diplomacy and Multilateral Negotiation for diplomats from SADC countries
South Africa's Diplomatic Academy and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) recently held a six‐day regional training course on Conference Diplomacy and Multilateral Negotiation for diplomats from Southern African Development Community countries (SADC). The course, attended by 29 representatives, took place in Pretoria, South Africa, from 15‐20 June 2009 and was run by a team of international and regional experts specializing in multilateral conference diplomacy training.
In 2006, this collaboration continued with the organization of a second course. On this occasion, the Department and UNITAR decided that it was not only important to continue developing knowledge and skills of diplomats in this field, but that it was also important to develop the training capacities of South African diplomatic staff. A strategy and work plan were then elaborated for 2007, which included training-of-trainers, individualized coaching and a study visit to Geneva for four South African diplomatic staff/trainers, with each trainer being assigned specific topics in which to specialize. Two workshops were then scheduled for 2007, and the South African trainers were integrated into the development and delivery of the two courses. This strategy enabled the partnership to evolve from one where UNITAR assumed sole responsibility for training content and delivery, to one where both organizations are now jointly developing, delivering and evaluating training.
Participants' comments
"The workshop composed of an excellent combination of case studies, real life situations and various exercises and presentations that made it possible of contextualization."
"Trainers were extremely helpful in terms of understanding key issues."
The Diplomatic Academy recently obtained registration from the South African Qualifications Authority for its Diplomatic and Cadet training courses. In both courses the UNITAR conference diplomacy and multilateral negotiation module is evaluated with a National Qualifications Framework level of 7 and is awarded 20 credits, equivalent to 200 notional hours of training. As part of the Institute's ongoing partnership with South Africa, Diplomatic Academy trainers deliver this module to South African trainees in the Diplomacy and Cadet courses, and the with the international' courses (i.e. SADC and e-Learning), UNITAR and South Africa deliver the training jointly. Our South African colleagues who took part in the 2006 training-of-trainers are now registered as Education and Training Quality Assurance (ETQA) assessors for this module.

Blackburn Rovers set to hold talks with DJ Campbell about his future
8:30am Tuesday 10th December 2013 in News
BLACKBURN Rovers are set to hold talks with DJ Campbell over his future following his arrest by police probing spot fixing allegations in football matches.
The 32-year-old was quizzed by National Crime Agency officers following an investigation by a national newspaper.
Campbell's tackle against Ipswich Town's Aaron Cresswell during a league game last Tuesday is understood to be under scrutiny. The club confirmed his arrest in a short statement yesterday.
A spokesman said: "Following reports in the national media, Blackburn Rovers can confirm that striker DJ Campbell has been arrested.
"The club will be making no further comment on what is now an ongoing legal matter."
Campbell failed to turn up to training this morning but his representatives have been in touch with Rovers officials. It remains to be seen if Rovers will follow the example of other clubs and suspend the player as he has not been charged with any offence. He is set to answer bail in April.
Campbell, who has played top flight football for Birmingham and Blackpool, was arrested on Sunday morning, hours after making a substitute appearance for Blackburn against his most recent club QPR.
He was the most high-profile name to be detained so far in relation to claims of spot fixing by illegal betting syndicates. Campbell, who is one of Rovers' highest earners, is a former team-mate of Sam Sodje, who he played with during his time at Brentford. Former-Portsmouth player Sodje, 34, was also arrested after it was claimed he took a five-figure bung to get sent off during the game against Oldham in February.
In a video, undercover investigators are allegedly told it could be arranged for players to be booked or sent off at a specified moment in a match. Sodje's brothers Akpo Sodje, from Tranmere Rovers, and Stephen Sodje, a former Portsmouth player, were also arrested, on Sunday as was Oldham Athletic's Cristian Montano and Tranmere Rovers' Ian Goodison.
The National Crime Agency has not released the exact offence they have all been arrested over.
In a statement, the Football Association (FA) said: "The FA is aware of the NCA investigation and is working closely with the NCA and other authorities."
Former Professional Footballers' Assocation chairman, Clarke Carlisle, said an increase in the number of betting markets in recent years had made it 'very easy to manipulate a single incident'.
"Influencing a match used to be wholly more complex because it's 22 men - or 25 if you're including officials - who you need to get to," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"But now something as simple as a booking, a red card - these can be manufactured incidents.
"I think the betting markets are something that we could have a look at as an industry."
A Gambling Commission spokesman said: "We have responded quickly in supporting this ongoing National Crime Agency investigation and continue to liaise with both the NCA and the Football Association."
And the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) said: "These allegations, if proven, unfortunately demonstrate the real issue football faces in terms of corruption and highlights the necessity of the work carried out by the PFA and other stakeholders in the game in educating players of these risks.
"We take the issue of integrity very seriously and will continue in our efforts to eradicate this evil from our game.
"In terms of these specific reports, due to the ongoing investigation by the National Crime Agency, we are unable to comment further at this time."
Blackburn Rovers legend, Kevin Gallacher, said some elements of spot-fixing, where a specific part of a game is fixed, are 'very hard to track down' and said he was shocked at the news.
He said: "When it's a player earning good money anyway you're scratching your head as to why would he need to do it. Is it the excitement or the idea that they will never get caught?
"You just have to look at what's happened across the continent with footballers and crickets getting two-year bans or banned for life. If that happens in football your career's over.
"If you get proven guilty for anything like that you know it's going to be a ban and probably the cancellation of your contract, which means you won't be getting any money."
And Burnley boss, Sean Dyche, said he was sure the facts will come to light.
He said: "I don't know a lot about it other than what we've read in the papers so I'm sure the powers that be will sort out what the ins and outs of it and what the facts are.
"There's a lot at stake, don't forget. "If it is a problem the depth of it will soon come to light."
Chief executive of the Football League, Shaun Harvey, added: "We treat any allegations of criminal activity in our competitions with the utmost seriousness."
It is the second time in four years that East Lancashire has been rocked by match-fixing allegations. In 2009, three Accrington Stanley players were charged with betting on the outcome of their game against Bury the year before.
James Harris, David Mannix, and Robert Williams - as well as Bury's Andrew Mangan - were handed suspensions and fines. And last month, non-league players Chann Sankaran, 33, Krishna Sanjey Ganeshan, 43, Michael Boateng and Hakeem Adelakun, both 22, were all charged by police investigating separate allegations.
Boateng and Adelakun, footballers with Conference South team Whitehawk FC, were bailed to appear before magistrates tomorrow. Sankaran and Ganeshan were charged on November 28 and were remanded in custody.
They will appear at Crown Court on Friday. All four have been charged with conspiracy to defraud.

RB Bourque Leaves UT Over "Broken Promises"
August 20th, 2012 11:26 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Tennessee
Tags: Broken Promise Land, Kirk Landry, recruiting, Tennessee Derek Dooley
Tennessee fans hoping that four-star signee Davante Bourque might change his mind and return to the Vol football program can forget about that one. According to Bourque's father, Kirk Landry, his son will enroll at Pearl River Community College in Poplarville, Mississippi following an abrupt departure from Knoxville last week. (Think that town was named after the tree… or was that just a twangy way of saying Popularville?)
Over the weekend it was learned — again, through Landry — that Bourque was dealing with homesickness and personal issues involving his girlfriend/mother of his child. But Landry has since said:
"There were just a lot of broken promises. You know, he was homesick and they didn't help it any by not being truthful when they were recruiting him…
But I told him things in life are tough, things in life aren't going to come easy. (I told him) people are going to lie to you and such, but you just have to suck it up and take another route to get where you want to get."
The father didn't say what he meant by "untruthful," but one can assume a lack of playing time was probably involved. Bourque was not expected to earn much on-field duty for the Vols this fall, barring injury.
While it doesn't make it right that coaches on the recruiting trail often say anything and everything to land a prospect, most top prospects should know by now — with so many stories like this getting media attention — that a promise in January likely won't mean squat come August. For that matter, there are no guarantees the coaches making the promises will even be around to keep them when the player arrives on campus.
So as we've said a few million times over the past five years — Recruits, pick a school for the school and trust nary a coach's "word."
The broken promise part of this equation was not brought up by Tennessee's Derek Dooley when he was asked about Bourque's take-off late last week: "I don't think it has anything to do with us, or us not liking him or him not liking us. He's got a lot of personal, family problems that he's working through."
Pick your sides, but it sounds like somebody — either a UT coach or Bourque — has done crossed over to that thar Broken Promise Land…

Kids run and play hard but most don't think about the consequences of getting hit hard on the playing field.
They may not think about consequences, but parents need to be actively engaged in what's happening on the field. Adolescent concussions can cause serious long-term injury.
Young athletes are more susceptible because their brains are still in development. It's not possible to prevent all concussions, but the risk can be reduced by wearing proper safety gear, following the rules of the sport and talking to coaches and other parents about the dangers of concussions.
As children return to school and fall sports, the risk of sports related concussion injuries increase. It's important for all parents to know the signs and symptoms.
Contact your health care provider if your child has any of the symptoms listed.
To offer a better understanding of the long-term risks associated with concussions, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has made recommendations for all parents:
If you have questions or concerns about concussions, contact your family doctor.

Cerveza Cusqueña gets important recognition at the International Beer Challenge 2010 (Translation)
5 November 2010
New recognition for Peru's Premium brand
- Cusqueña Regular and Malta won awards in London due to their taste and superior quality.
- It is the first Peruvian beer to receive this important recognition.
Lima, November 3, 2010 - Cerveza Cusqueña, Peruvian Premium brand, obtained three important recognitions in the XIV edition of the International Beer Challenge 2010, one of the biggest and most prestigious competitions of the brewing sector worldwide.
Cusqueña Regular got a gold medal in the Packaging Design category because of its details and quality. It stood out amongst the world's six best ones. Cerveza Cusqueña Regular and Malta also received two recognitions because of their taste and superior quality.
The event's jury was made up of 46 of the most expert beer tasters of the world. It is worth mentioning Jeff Evans' participation, who is one of the most publicly recognized beer tasters.
It should be emphasized that for a beer to be selected in this contest, it must comply with a series of requirements, such as: quality, taste, body, packaging design and consumer preference, besides being nationally and internationally consolidated.
In this way, Cerveza Cusqueña continues being part of the Premium category. In addition, it has added one more award to the 18 already won. Without a doubt, these awards acknowledge the effort and quality of its elaboration. Cerveza Cusqueña is the only Peruvian beer that uses 100% pure barley and Saaz hops, which are the finest in the world and the reason for its body, aroma and pure beer taste.
About International Beer Challenge:

A fight at the Elks Lodge in Charlottesville ended with gunshots last Friday night, and sent two men to the hospital. The incident took place near the corner of Second Street and Market Street on the downtown mall, just steps from popular restaurants and shops. As the weekend approaches, Charlottesville police say they are taking extra security measures to make sure everyone feels safe visiting the downtown mall.
"You will see an increase in marked patrol cars, as well as officers on bikes," said Lt. Ronnie Roberts. "There will also be some unmarked cars in the area."
Court documents show two men, 56-year-old Frank Brown and 22-year-old Leon Brock, go into an altercation at the Elks Lodge. According to police, the fight spilled out into the street, with one man shooting the other at close range. That's when Charlottesville police Officer Alex Bruner arrived on the scene and fired his weapon, hitting the shooter.
"Normally after an incident like that, there is usually what we call a post-event review," said Roberts.
Officer Bruner remains on paid administrative leave, while the investigation continues. Both Brock and Brown are in fair condition at the UVa Medical Center.
But business owners near the Elks Lodge say they have been dealing with this kind of trouble for months, and hope this incident will cast a spotlight on the problems. The police department is responding by putting extra patrols on the streets.
"When something like this happens, it is important we increase our visible presence there so the people and business owners know we are in the community," Roberts said.

Charlie May wool bomber | Chapter jacket (worn around waist) | COS silk boiler suit | Vans SK8 Hi
The past few months I've been struggling to break free from my wearing a turtleneck at all times. It gives me a feeling of comfort, something you all know I feel strongly about (read: sneakers 90% of the time. Not a trend thing, just lazy). This warm weather has forced me to fold and hide my turtlenecks for the time being. They have now been replaced by this Chapter jacket, which is now permanently around my waist. It's a men's small and is a little too big around the shoulders, but it falls perfectly around my calves. Seemingly forever. I wore it with a wool bomber from Charlie May's AW14 collection and the softest silk boiler suit I picked up from COS the other day. Yes, I am a creature of comfort and I am in no way ashamed of it.
