This is a 24 hour channel dedicated to news from the sporting world. This is a free news channel which can be found on Sky channel 405, Virgin Media channel 515 and TalkTalk TV channel 550.
Through the SkyGo feature you can watch the channel on a portable device such as a mobile phone or laptop.
The channel features news stories, interviews, league tables, fixtures and the latest scores from many different sports.
I am a big football fan and have only a small interest in other sports. I have to say that I feel when the football season is on other sports tend to get a bit neglected.
Since the introduction of the channel Sky Sports F1 which is dedicated to Formula 1 coverage they seem to be covering more Formula 1 on Sky Sports News than in previous years.
Other sports covered include cricket, boxing, NFL, golf, rugby, tennis, and horse racing.
Brief captions of news from each sport will be displayed at the bottom of the screens, while fixtures and league tables can be seen on the right hand side of the screen.
The channel is split into programmes such as 'Good Morning Sports Fans', 'Afternoon Report', 'Through The Night' and 'Soccer Saturday'. Aside from Soccer Saturday all of these programmes are the same thing, though the presenters change. There are many regular presenters of the news and many more reporters who will film interviews, report from out of the studio and try to bring in the latest stories.
Depending on what's going on in the sporting world I couldn't watch this channel for long as it could be the same headlines repeated every 15-20 minutes for hours until something else happens.
Every Saturday during the football season is my favourite programme from this channel......
Soccer Saturday
Jeff Stelling (sports journalist, tv and radio presenter) hosts this and is joined by a panel of football 'experts' who discuss the upcoming games, team news and make predictions for the games. They then watch a game each report back on any big moments in the games.
The games which aren't covered by those in the studio have a member of the sky team at each game who will report back via video link or telephone link.
The panel members varies from week to week, I think a lot of them are a bit bias in their feedback and some of the panellists obviously have a strong dislike for certain teams but it's quite fun to watch the rivalry and bickering between the panellists at times.
Panelists include Phil Thompson, Charlie Nickles, Matt Le Tisssier, Paul Merson.
While the games are being played all of the latest goals and red cards will be displayed on the screen by their videprinter system. Scores will also go across the screen on a yellow bar but this isn't updated very quickly and more frequently contains incorrect information so I ignore this yellow bar.
Interactive features
These can be accessed by pressing the red button on your sky remote and allow you to see the news, bet on sky bet and also enter free weekly competitions such as 'Super 6' in which you predict the scores for 6 selected football games each week, and 'fantasy football' which is where you can create your dream team to enter in a free fantasy league.
Transfer News
When the football transfer market is open the channel has very good coverage of the deals being done from teams around the country. A reporter will usually be hanging around the training grounds and club stadiums to see the new arrivals and get the fans' reactions. There will also be a countdown to deadline day when all the transactions must be completed and I find their reporting on the transfer market excellent.
Each Saturday afternoon I turn on this channel to watch the latest scores come in and I find it far superior coverage than other sports programmes. After the final whistle a they will show the highlights and goals of matches from the main English leagues which I also enjoy watching.
During 'Soccer Saturday' the latest scores will still be shown at the bottom of the screen, unfortunately the same can't be said for scores on other days which means you may miss some scores.They will keep you well updated on any scores from big games but you might not find out about lower league games.
I think the presenters are good and find myself turning the channel on at least once a day but I do think if I was a fan of another sport I'd feel a bit annoyed about it being called a sports news channel as it is mainly dedicated to football. I think rather than repeating the same news so often they could do with adding some more news from the other sports to keep everybody happy and attract a wider audience.
Sky Sports News grew out of the old one-hour Sky Sports Centre, which was successful enough for its formula to be extended over twenty four hours. That show, you may remember, launched Kirsty Gallacher's career and packed a lot of sport into one hour. The twenty four hours seven days a week version retains still centres around the idea of a beautiful mistress-like woman accompanied by some Bloke talking about Sport, especially football and cricket, with other sports who are not broadcast by Sky getting somewhat short-changed.
The women of Sky Sports are absolutely charming. Natalie Sawyer is simply the loveliest woman on the planet, Georgie Thompson and Claire Tomlinson exude knowing sexiness, Hayley McQueen's lips make me want to melt, and I still miss the preppy perfection of Diane Parish and the smile of Kelly Dalglish. On top of that, they are all extremely smart, sport-lovers and several possess an aura of spiritual goodness that lights up my television screen. It is impossible to imagine Sawyer, Dalglish and Parish in particular ever being anything less than utterly seamless, and the rest are easily forgivable for the mistakes they make. Never is a clothing ensemble misjudged or too much skin shown.
Other than Jeff Stelling, I can't name any of the male presenters, but I think that's the idea. If the controllers of the channel think anything else they broadcast matters then their qualification for the role must be questioned. The sheer repetition it features dulls the brain (though it does enable the chipperness of the ladies to be emphasised) and makes suggests that the one-hour format was more suitable.
Unless it is cricket season, football dominates to an extraordinary extent. The only other sports to have any kind of look-in are those that Sky Sports broadcast, and for long stretches of the day are relegated to the ticker. For all the focus on football, the lack of depth is depressing. It is well reported that reporting on tactics and analysis of clubs' long-term strategies is deficient in Britain, and Sky Sports with their wealth of video footage, high-tech tools, time, and all the advantages that television has over the print media is in the prime position to change this.
The only standout features of the Channel are the analysis and chumminess offered by Jeff and the Gang on Soccer Saturday and Deadline-Day drama. Other than that, this is a channel that can do a whole lot more.
It's probably true to state that one of the most frequently viewed Satellite/Digital channels has been Sky Sports News for many years. It's excellent coverage of all range of sports presented by real sports people made it a great channel to either flick on for a quick update about your team, or to have on in the background. Up until recently, freeview users had this for free. So when the announcement came about the channel receiving an overhaul, becoming HD and also not being available on Freeview, this caused quite a stir.
Sport -the-Difference
So what's different? And is it any good? Firstly, any sport in HD does look excellent, so that certainly is a good improvement. The detail and clarity of the picture is superb. Of course, the presenters sports knowledge and specialist opinions didn't alter and are still of very high quality, but some things have, and to be honest in my opinion not for the better.
Upon viewing the 'new' Sky Sports News for the first time, I had to fiddle around with the picture settings both of my TV and the Sky Box, this was a little frustrating, but Sky did offer help with this on their website. But unfortunately, no matter what settings I change too, I see cannot see the screen fully, with about 2 to 3 millimetres cut off the left side. This may be different for other TV's though.
Bigger, Better? Nope...
What is not different is the on-screen text size. It has become very small indeed, stats listed down the right side are sometimes so small you end up squinting to read them, and I have a 37" HD TV, so people viewing on a smaller screen must have trouble. There is also a tremendous amount of animation and movement on the screen now, and I have found this can be quite distracting, as the 'live' screen area is slightly smaller than before. All this combined tends to strain the eyes a little. The amount of yellow on the display is also unnecessary, and again just provides more of a strain then anything else.
One other small thing I seem to have noticed, is sometimes now the outside broadcast reports and their communication with the studio are not as fluid and professional as before, maybe I'm just being a little picky, but i feel this is definitely the case.
Overall, i feel their was no need to change the actual layout of the channel, just including HD would have been enough. The improvements are not improvements unfortunately, I thnk too much has been pushed into it. A taking it away from freeview? Well, that's just a shame for freeview users. I expected that SSN would become part of the Sky Sports subscription anyway, so that was not a surprise.
Some of the little annoyances from before remain as well, the news repetition being the main one, but this is the same with any non-stop news channel. New Sky Sports News is still an all-important channel for a sports fan, and still probably the best, but improved? I'm afraid not, and these alterations all seem rather pointless. What's that phase? If it ain't broke.....

The sports news channel from Sky is found on channel 405 but is also available to view for free with some providers. It's round the clock broadcasting means that you can catch up with all the latest results, interviews and transfer gossip at any time of day or night.
Often along with the BBC website this is one of the best places to see breaking news or press conferences from the world of sport, particularly football.
Without doubt one of the best features of this channel though is Soccer Saturday presented by Countdown host Jeff Stelling. It starts at 12pm on Saturday lunchtime and Jeff is joined by four former professional footballers to discuss the day's action. In my experience these are normally Southampton legend Matthew LeTissier, Paul Merson, Charlie Nicholas and ex Liverpool defender Phil Thompson. They start the show by talking about previous results, the form of players and other issues tied up with the fixtures of that day. Then at 3pm the four studio guests watch their screens and report to Jeff about any action that may be occurring, it's really funny to hear them get excited and shout things out like "chance" or "goal". Sky also have reporters at a lot of the days matches to let everyone know of any significant events, Chris Kamara is well known for often using the word unbelievable when describing what has been happening. During the week if there are league and cup matches or European games this format is used as well but often Ed Chamberlain fronts the coverage. The BBC offer a similar programme to this on the red button called Score.
You can only maybe watch this channel for about an hour before you start to see the same stories again but that is the trouble with 24 hour news coverage and is the same as general news channels. The coverage on the night the football transfer window closes can be quite epic with reports from different clubs and two of the female presenters Millie Clode and Charlotte Jacskon are incredibly beautiful, nice one.
Sky Sports News is a channel that normally comes with a Sky package, however you can also access Sky Sports news via freeview.
Sky sports news covers sporting news, yes you guessed it. It also gives you regular updates and scores, breaking news and transfers when relevant. The show runs mainly on hourly slots but does seem to revolve around football. Every hour the show starts with brief updates on breaking news and then goes into it on more depth.
I would say that the channel covers 85% of football, the rest seems to be other sports such as golf, cricket, tennis, rugby and boxing. The show also shows upcoming fixtures and current league table positions.
The show has several presenters who are all to a good standard, it also runds for 24 hours and is often watched by me (as a sports fan) when there is nothing else on.
When there are live sport events running during the time sky sports is on they will give you updates of current scores, if it is a big game then they will also show a 'goal alert' which updates you straight away.
Overall I would recommend Sky Sports News for football fans and give it a rating of 5/5, purely because I just cannot be without it!
Sky Sports News is a sports news channel available to users of Sky TV packages but also people with Freeview too, like myself.
The channel runs 24/7 and is divided into hourly segments. The top headlines will be told at the start of each hour and the rest of the time will be spent discussing them and other less important bits of news. The show is broadcast live, which means you do see the presenters mess up their lines every now and again and various technical hitches, especially when they try to talk to someone out of the studio.
This format means that if you have it on thorughout the day, you do hear the same news over and over again which is a bit annoying, but the channel would be no good if it didn't have the latest news would it?!
Each match day/evening has special guests (usually ex-footballers) such as Paul Merson and Matt Le Tissier watching the live games and telling viewers what has been happening, along with their personal opinions on it. As I don't have access to live games, this service is very good to follow, especially on Saturday afternoons, where you follow lots of games, without having to listen to only one game.
Aside from the short lived Setanta Sports News, Sky Sports News has no competition but this hasn't really hindered it, as I think it is a very good service.
Sky Sports News is available both to Sky Subscribers and also to most freeview/free tv viewers. It is, as the title suggests, a channel based around Sports News. It runs 24 hours a day, and comes in the form of two presenters running through the latest events in the sports world, with constantly flowing information at the side and bottom, usually of results, fixtures, or headlines.
Needless to say, it's also an excellent opportunity for Sky to regularly advertise their paid sport channels. A lot of the news is therefore connected in with live coverage of a said game, or event - and thus you are frequently encouraged to sign up so that you can see them. Like any commercial channel, there are also regular advertisements every 15 or so minutes - which is annoying, but to be expected.
Taking it at face value though, the content of this channel is very useful for the sports fan, if somewhat repeditive. Football is highly focused upon, with less time devoted to other sports.
It is great for up to the minute live updates on sports events that you can't see for free.
On Saturday's, 'Gilette Soccer Saturday' is a nice alternative to BBC for Premier League / Football League / Scottish League discussions, debate, and of course results. Unlike BBC, the pundits are usually quite entertaining and insightful.
It's a good channel for catching up on seeing recent sports action, too. Rugby, Cricket, Football, and other highlights are shown relatively soon after the event, and the presentation is generally top notch.
In summary, Sky Sports News, while a blatant running advertisement for paid Sky content, is nonetheless an in depth and professional 24 hour sports news channel. If you use it for this purpose alone, there aren't really any better.
Sky Sports News is a channel broadcasting Sport Related news 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is part of the Sky channels owned & operated by BSkyB. On Sky it is channel 405 & is part of the News selection of channels you can buy. On Virgin Media it is channel 517 & on Freeview it is channel 83.
The channel originally began broadcast on the first of October 1998 when Sky's digital Satellite service was launched. It has been broadcasting ever since.
The format of the channel is news story after news story. Occasionally there are specific programmes which focus on something specific however these are not that regular. The only real standout show they have is Soccer Saturday. A footbal related show that from 3.00 p.m. 'till 5.00 p.m. every Saturday that is an English Football League Matchday brings you the scores from every game in the country as they happen. This programme is usually broadcast on Sky Sports 1 at the same time.
As the show is by a UK company for UK viewers it does tend to focus on British sports. Predominatly Football but also Rugby, Rugby League & Cricket. Although this may be true it does also devote a small amount of time to foreign sports & you can find out Spanish Football or American Football results on here.
I wouldn't really recommend this channel to a woman as it would bore most of the to tears. I'm not entirely sure that I would recommend prolinged viewing to the fellas either. What I would say though, if you want to catch up on the days sporting action from all angles & for all sports, then you can't go wrong with this channel. It is very good at what it does. It's just that there's only so much sporting news anyone wants.
Sky sports news is a 24 hour a day channel dedicated to sports news (yep a whole channel fellow sports fans!) it is obviously created by the titan that is the sky corporation yet you do not need a sky box to watch it as it is shown of freeview, channel 83 on my TV.
The channel is very basic in format, two presenters, an average looking man and a good looking woman will read sports headlines as they break (like live! This will either get you excited or make you fall asleep). But that's not just it; they have little interviews with players, managers, sports journalists etc and even show brief highlights of sports, mainly football but some cricket, golf and rugby.
That is the channels biggest problem (not for me being a man united supporter) in that it is hugely biased towards football where I'd estimate 80 percent is concerned with footie so if you don't like football you won't be watching for long. Every Saturday Jeff Stelling (now of countdown fame) presents Gillette soccer Saturday where former stars watch live games and give commentary's on the big incidents, this is often funny to watch (Paul Merson trying to pronounce a players name often a highlight) so if you like football and want to be kept up to date on what's going on and look at a beautiful woman (Charlotte is my not so secret crush) stick it on now
If you have any questions feel free to message me
Sky Sports News is the 'news' channel that accompanies the Sky Sports universe. The channel predominantly covers football, cricket and rugby with a little bit of time left over for less popular sports and sports covered by rival broadcasters. If you're a fan of tennis or motorsport this may not be the place for you.
The channel is available through various digital tv platforms including Sky, Virgin Media and Freeview who Sky has a stake in. Perhaps cynically, some people say that Sky Sports News is available on Freeview as a non stop advert for their pay tv services being that it covers a wealth of Premiership football and test match cricket that's not available to non-subscribers.
The channel is very similar to BBC News 24 but concerns itself, unsurprisingly, with sport! All breaking sports news is covered live and a ticker tape across the bottom of the screen repeats all of the breaking news. Unlike the BBC channel SSN features a much younger and more glamorous female group of presenters who help to disguise the banal nature of updating news of cricketers injuries and rumours of hostile takeovers at football clubs.
Like any live and always broadcasting news network, SSN can become a bit tedious and perhaps exaggerate the importance of a story such as the closing of a transfer window in football where reporters are sent to various grounds at pockets of the country and unsupported transfer rumours are regurgutated.
The undoubted highlight of the channel is Gillette Soccer Saturday, the football show where Jeff Stelling and guests discuss and update the latest scores and action of the day's matches. A format that sounds like it shouldn't work but does, mainly due to Stelling's banter with the ex-footballer commentators and his encyclopedic knowledge of British football.
Sky Sports News, what can I say. I bet many of you like myself watch this at least one a day, to catch up with the sports news. I watch it in the morning before, I go to work and watch it as soon as I get home. If you are a sports fan, this is the perfect channel for you. Its avaiable on freeview, virgin media, sky digital and even the internet. The presenters are good at what they do and also have a good on-screen chemistry which keeps you engaged as the the presenters needs to present well and look interested to get viewers to keep watching.
The Gillette Soccer Saturdays are fantastic, for football fans like myself, who want to see what the scores are, expert analysis of each premiership team before the kick off and after the match finishes and also Paul Mersons passion when he sees some action in the matches he watches
The only problem is that its tailored to mainly football but that doesnt bother me as football is the worlds number one sport.
To summarise, if your a sports fan watch it and give it a chance and I promise it will become a part of your life and certainly for the better
Thank you for reading my review and have a good weekend
I wouldnot exactly class myself as a fanatical football fan, i have been to a few live matches and I also enjoy other sports but even I find the Saturday afternoon show on Sky Sports News quite compelling and very funny at times.
Sky Sports News is a rolling sports news station that can usually be accessed free on most TV packages and it is an excellent source of information as it has a live teletext style feed and includes footage and up to the date news on pretty much every major sport, also as it is Sky ownmed it has access to all the footage that Sky airs.
Gillette Soccer Special is the main jewel in the crown though hosted by the legendary Jeff Stelling who along with three pundits, often including Matt Le Tisier, Geoff Thompson and Paul Merson although others also appear (Thompson is hilarious especially when Liverpool lose which is quite often these days), keep you upto date with all the live games and they have a network of reporters including the wonderfully animated Chris Kamara, it is great entertainment.
The rest of the presenters on at other times are a bit androgenous, usually male and female teams the women are all over dressed, or under dressed in some cases but I guess they appeal to the channels largely male audience, at night they sometimes switch to all amle teams.
A great sports news resource with up to the minute information and a wide number of sports covered although football does dominate, the one area it is not great for is probably horse racing but then there are a few specialist channels for that sport.
Sky Sports News is easily the best source of sporting information on TV, and it's what I call my "Go to Channel", when nothing else is on 405 (Sky) gets punched into my remote control, I sometimes even press it when I'm already on it. And the good thing is that it is there 24/7, whenever you need it.
The reason for it being the best is down to the power Sky now has in the sporting industry. The Sky reporters have all the right contacts to get the information first and they have a wide range of contacts to get the information from all over the country.
Of course this information is useless unless it is presented in a proper way. Sky Sports News accomplishes this as well. There is of course, with everything else, a bias towards football. So, football (occasionally rugby) leagues tables, top scorers, fixtures, etc are shown on the right of the screen. The bottom of the screen scrolls through various tabs from all the major sports and then there is a bright yellow bar, which appears when there is big breaking news.
This may sound a little cluttered, but it isn't and it allows the presenters to still be the main focus of the rest of the screen space. All the presenters on the show do an excellent job, albeit all speaking in the exact same way. There is generally a male and female presenter (Georgie Thompson being the main one ) together during the day, with two male presenters taking over at night.
There aren't really any shows on the channel apart from Saturday afternoons when Jeff Stelling is joined by four pundits for 'Gillette Soccer Saturday', which looks at the upcoming fixtures then each pundit watches a match and tells Jeff what's happening - sounds boring, but it's quite entertaining for us football fans.
Overall, this is a great channel for sports fans. Well presented, with good breaking news, makes this one of my most watched TV channels.
I thing Sky Sports News has a great niche in the market for delivering a certain type of news and allows people waiting for sports news on a regular news channel to have an avenue on which they can get the specific news that they need.
I think this channel has a number of advantages and disadvantages. The first obvious main advantage is that it allows a channel in which you can specifically get news on sports and sport related issues. It does this well and the manner in which it is set out allows a lot of information to be portrayed easily. For example you'll get a presented taking while at the same time there is a ticker bar at the bottom giving out short snippets of news, while on the right hand side there is information such as league tables and specific match information. I think the manner in which this is done is very efficient and great at getting a large amount of information through effectively.
The other main benefit is that it is free to air and is broadcasted on Freeview, as well as Virgin Media and Sky. This makes it virtually accessible to a majority of the country at no subscription cost and is a great service for no charge.
I do have some reservations though. It's funded by advertising which means that they cut for a break every now and again. I don't have an issue with this because I understand how a money making company operates but what really does upset me is when you've been waiting five minutes for a particular news story to come up on the ticker below only to find they cut for a break and the news you wanted is missed. If they held the ticker while the break is on, or better still keep it scrolling throughout the adverts then it would make the service a whole lot better.
Secondly, although it's a sports news channel. It effectively is a football news channel as they heavily focus on this and give it a majority of their attention. If you're a rugby fan for example you're pretty much going to have to rely on the snippets of news that is displayed on the screen every now and again and listen out for the half a minute or so they devote to it throughout the hour.
Overall I'm not complaining as they do a good service well. Keeping the ticker going continuously and not turning it off for adverts, as well as a 90% focus on football and it would be a perfect service. Other than that it's great and a good channel to have on as you pass the time.
If you want to know everything that has happened in the sporting world over the past 24hours, skysports is the best place to go for this. They don't just tell you the results of sports, they go in to detail, like say in the football, they tell you who scored, when they scored it, how they scored and from how far out they scored it. The only way they could be more detailed is if they told you what section of the ball they hit.
Its not just football they cover, they cover all kinds of sports, such as cricket, rugby, baseball, hockey, horse racing and basketball.
They don't just tell you the news from this country, this is worldwide.
I have even seen sports that you will have never heard of before on there from Asia, like running away from a Yak up a hill.
There are a wide variety of presenters and most of them have a specialised sport, some of them specialise in the horse racing and others in the football.
There is a show called Soccer Saturday and this is when all the main football matches happen. There are usually 5 or 6 presenters all discussing the day's football and making predictions on the matches ahead. Each one of them watches a football match and tells the main presenter when something interesting has happened, like a goal or a near goal.
It is a very useful way of keeping the watchers of the show up to date because they will tell you as the action happens.
The way the screen is laid out is very clever.
There is a main window in the middle where the presenters are, there are also little side windows right and below the presenter. The one to the right shows things like league tables and up coming events and the window below is full of tabs for each of the sports. When a tab is displayed, for example football, then all the football news will be displayed at the bottom and will stay on the screen for a few seconds and move on to the next bit of news.
Sky Sports is the easiest and best way of keeping up with the latest sport news what ever the time of day or night.
So that's why it is my first choice when I want to catch up and if your not near a TV, they have a website with even more information for you and also some fun stuff like games and videos.

The LePage administration today came forth with its plan to replenish the state's so-called "Rainy Day Fund," which lawmakers had tapped to restore funding to Maine's city's and towns. The governor wants the panel to approve the allocation of more than $21 million from an education spending account and from state retiree health insurance programs. Democrats on the Legislature's Appropriations Committee seem receptive to the plan, which would prompt the release of more than $100 million in voter-approved bonds which the governor had threatened to withhold.
Maybe retired state employees are adopting healthier lifestyles. Or maybe a number cruncher just goofed. Either way, insurance company analysts charged with recommending how much money state should set aside to cover the estimated costs of its retiree health insurance program seem to have overestimated and that's good news for Sawin Millett, the cief of finance for the LePage administration.
"So here we are having over-collected by $2.4 million in the current year and projected to over-collect by $8.954 million in the coming year," Millett said.
In addition to the $10 million from the retiree insurance program, the administration has also found a little more than $10 million in so-called "unencumbered funds" from state's General Purpose Aid Account that funnels local education money back to Maine school districts.
The Rainy Day Fund dispute has been a volatile issue between lawmakers, who wanted to prevent local property tax increases, and LePage, who has called the revenue sharing fund "welfare for cities and towns." After Democrats and Republicans united to draw down the Rainy Day Fund as a fix, LePage retaliated by threatening not to issue more than $100 million in state infrastructure bonds unless the money was restored.
Education Commissioner Jim Rier told the committee that the proposed transfer to the Rainy Day Fund would have no impact on the money school districts will receive for the balance of this fiscal year or next.
"These changes and being able to provide the $10.1 million and is part of the bill doesn't effect anything that flows to local school units, they are receiving and will continue to to the amount that you budgeted last June 27," Rier said.
Democrats on the panel appear receptive the plan.
"I for one welcome this submission by the governor's budget submission and I think it really represents in my mind, the importance of us all coming together in this room and working together," said Representative, Mike Carey (D-Lewiston).
Carey has been a fierce critic of the LePage administration's refusal, until now at least, to engage the Legislature on changes to the current budget. The extended olive branch was clearly appreciated by Republican members of the committee and supported by Democrats who did not have access to the information from state retiree insurance savings projections.
"These are actuarial projections that a non-executive branch would not have knowledge of or be able to do, so I think this really represents nicely the importance of us working together," Carey said.
Democrats were not happy with the fact that the governor had entered the budget discussion so late in the game Rep. Linda Sanborn (D-Gorham) and other Democrats on the panel, are disappointed that LePage had threatened to withhold his support for state bonds unless lawmakers agreed to his plan to replenish the Rainy Day Fund to its former $60 million level.
"There again is no reason why the governor cannot release the bonds right now whether without us deciding how this $21 million dollars is best used," Sanborn said.
Republicans soon tired of Democrats criticism of the governor's threat. Rep. Kathleen Chase (R-Wells) joined other GOP members in urging the majority party to move on.
"Regardless of whatever else the issues that surrounds it in a political world, this is a reasonable solution for a huge concern and for having a good position moving forward dealing with bonds," Chase said.
The administration would like to have a vote on its Rainy Day Fund bill as soon as possible, but Democrats on the panel would not commit to that request and may wish to explore other ways to address the fund's replenishment.

(BANGOR, Maine) – Starting Monday July 25, the Maine Public Broadcasting Network will significantly improve the signal of its over-the-air television service in the Bangor viewing area with new broadcast equipment on Blackcap Mountain in Eddington.
"We've invested approximately $75,000 in a television translator to correct a signal deficiency resulting from the national conversion to digital broadcasting technology in February 2009," said MPBN President and CEO Jim Dowe. The digital conversion had the unintended effect of leaving some non-cable and non-satellite viewers without access to MPBN in the Bangor area. "Restoring signal integrity in Bangor has been a top priority at MPBN since the day we converted to digital in 2009," Dowe said. "Healthy operating results in the 2011 fiscal year allowed us to move ahead with the upgrade."
According to Gil Maxwell, Chief Technology Officer for MPBN, the new signal will help with viewing in the Bangor/Brewer area and along the Penobscot River Valley, in locations such as Orono and Old Town. Viewers to the west of Bangor, including Ellsworth and Mount Desert Island, may also see an improvement.
The equipment was installed earlier this month on an existing broadcast tower on Blackcap Mountain, and will be operating at full power starting Monday. Technicians had been testing and optimizing the signal over the last few days. Viewers can receive the new signal on channel 12, and should consult the owner's manual on their television or tuner to determine if they need to re-scan in order to acquire the new signal.

32 CFR Part 323, Appendix B to Part 323 - Criteria for New and Altered Record Systems
Appendix B to Part 323—Criteria for New and Altered Record Systems
A. Criteria for a new record system. A new system of records is one for which there has been no system notice published in the Federal Register. If a notice for a system, of records has been canceled or deleted, before reinstating or reusing the system, a new system notice must be published in the Federal Register.
B. Criteria for an altered record system. A system is considered altered whenever one of the following actions occurs or is proposed:
1. A significant increase or change in the number or type of indiviudals about whom records are maintained.
a. Only changes that alter significantly the character and purpose of the records system are considered alterations.
b. Increases in numbers of individuals due to normal growth are not considered alterations unless they truly alter the character and purpose of the system.
c. Increases that change significantly the scope of population covered (for example, expansion of a system of records covering a single PLFA's enlisted personnel to include all of DLA enlisted personnel would be considered an alteration).
d. A reduction in the number of individual covered is not an alteration, but only an amendment.
e. All changes that add new categories of individuals to system coverage require a change to the "Categories of individuals covered by the system" caption of the notice and may require changes to the "Purpose(s)" caption.
2. An expansion in the types or categories of information maintained.
a. The addition of any new category of records not described under the "Categories of Records in System" caption is considered an alteration.
b. Adding a new data element which is clearly within the scope of the categories of records described in the existing notice is an amendment.
c. All changes under this criterion require a change to the "Categories of Records in System" caption of the notice.
3. An alteration in the manner in which the records are organized or the manner in which the records are indexed and retrieved.
a. The change must alter the nature of use or scope of the records involved (for example, combining records systems in a reorganization).
b. Any change under this critera requires a change in the "Retrievability" caption of the system notice.
c. If the records are no longer retrieved by name or personal identifier, cancel the system notice.
4. A change in the purpose for which the information in the system is used.
a. The new purpose must not be compatible with the existing purposes for which the system is maintained or a use that would not reasonably be expected to be an alteration.
b. If the use is compatible and reasonably expected, there is no change in purpose and no alteration occurs.
c. Any change under this criterion requires a change in the "Purpose(s)" caption and may require a change in the "Authority for maintenance of the system" caption.
5. Changes that alter the computer environment (such as changes to equipment configuration, software, or procedures) so as to create the potential for greater or easier access.
a. Increasing the number of offices with direct access is an alteration.
b. Software releases, such as operating systems and system utilities that provide for easier access are considered alterations.
c. The addition of an on-line capability to a previously batch-oriented system is an alteration.
d. The addition of peripheral devices such as tape devices, disk devices, card readers, printers, and similar devices to an existing ADP system constitute an amendment if system security is preserved.
e. Changes to existing equipment configuration with on-line capability need not be considered alterations to the system if:
(1) The change does not alter the present security posture.
(2) The addition of terminals does not extend the capacity of the current operating system and existing security is preserved.
f. The connecting of two or more formerly independent automated systems or networks together creating a potential for greater access is an alteration.
g. Any change under this caption requires a change to the "Storage" caption element of the systems notice.
C. Reports of new and altered systems. Submit a report of a new or altered system to DLA Support Services (DSS-CA) before collecting information and for using a new system or altering an existing system.
D. Time restrictions on the operation of a new or altered system. 1. All time periods begin from the date OSD signs the transmittal letters on the reports to OMB and Congress. The specific time limits are:
a. Sixty days must elapse before collection forms or fomal instructions pertaining to the system may be issued.
b. Sixty days must elapse before the system may become operational.
c. Sixty days must elapse before any public issuance of a Request for Proposal or Invitation to Bid for a new ADP or telecommunication system.
Requests for delegation of procurement authority may be submitted to the General Services Administration during the 60 days' waiting period, but these will include language that the Privacy Act reporting criteria have been reviewed and that a system report is required for such procurement.
d. Normally 30 days must elapse before publication in the Federal Register of the notice of a new or altered system and the preamble to the Federal Register notice must reflect the date the transmittal letters to OMB and Congress were signed by OSD.
2. Do not operate a system of records until the waiting periods have expired.
E. Outside review of new and altered systems reports. If no objections are received within 30 days of a submission to the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Director, OMB, of a new or altered system report, it is presumed that the new or altered systems have been approved as submitted.
F. Waiver of time restrictions. 1. The OMB may authorize a Federal agency to begin operation of a system of records before the expiration of time limits described above. When seeking such a waiver, include in the letter of transmittal to DLA Support Services (CA) an explanation why a delay of 60 days in establishing the system of records would not be in the public interest. The transmittal must include:
a. How the public interest will be affected adversely if the established time limits are followed.
b. Why earlier notice was not provided.
2. Under no circumstances will the routine uses for a new or altered system be implemented before 30 days have elapsed after publication of the system notice containing the routine uses in the Federal Register. This period cannot be waived.

Rawlings Apparently is Out as City Manager of Menifee
The Menifee City Council has called a special meeting for Tuesday night, apparently to make a change...
A meeting agenda sent to the media and posted on the city's website late Friday afternoon lists a closed session, including an action item regarding the appointment of a city manager. An experienced government official with knowledge of the situation confirmed that a change in city managers will be made.
In addition, there has been speculation that changes in city staff would be made once the new city council, including newly elected Mayor Scott Mann and council member Greg August, takes office Dec. 4.
Rob Johnson, senior manager of community improvement and outreach, said when contacted Friday that he could not speculate on the reason for the meeting and had no comment because it involves a closed session.
Because the majority of the current city council has voiced support of Rawlings in the past, it seems unlikely the council would vote to fire him in its last meeting before a change in the council makeup. And according to section 2.08.100 of the Menifee Municipal Code, the city manager cannot be removed, other than for misconduct, within 90 days after a new council member takes office.
The most likely scenario, then, would be that Rawlings has asked to resign and will be replaced on an interim basis by an existing staff person until the new council can name a permanent replacement.
Rawlings previously was the director of redevelopment and housing for the city of Vista. He has nearly 25 years experience in municipal government. Rawlings replaced George Wentz, who resigned in April 2010 amidst a financial audit suggesting he may have authorized thousands of dollars in unwarranted payments to contractors.

Rock and pop legends Jon "Bowzer" Bauman (formerly of Sha Na Na) and Ronnie Spector (of the Ronettes) bring back the best songs from the late 1950s and early 1960's rock, pop and doo wop era in an all new "MY MUSIC" concert event. This special includes new live performances and rare, never before available archival classics from the Dick Clark vaults.
This unforgettable evening of music showcases the enduring popularity of two of producer Phil Spector's most famous proteges. For the first time in four decades, Ronnie Spector is able to sing on TV the biggest hits from her days as the star of The Ronettes: "Be My Baby" and "Baby I Love You." History is also made when La La Brooks performs two girl group classics on which she originally sang lead vocals for The Crystals: "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Then He Kissed Me." Other highlights from the '60s pop-rock era include Jay Black (of Jay & The Americans) delivering his show-stopping smash "Cara Mia" plus a rare appearance by Len Barry, who serves up his number one hit "1-2-3."

The Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center is truly unique in the Forsyth County
Public Library system. Customers experience a traditional library setting, but the
resources available are from the African-American perspective. The Heritage Center's
mission is to preserve African-American heritage, history, and culture.
The Library Manager at M/JEWHC is Yolanda Bolden. The 5,800-square-foot building
is located in downtown Winston-Salem at 1110 East Seventh Street. Over 36,000 visits
were made by members of the community, and nearly 5,000 of them are registered borrowers.
The small Friends of the Library group was first organized in 1948.
The Heritage Center offers a full range of library services. It offers many programs
to the community, such as:
A permanent display of historic photographs is housed at the Heritage Center. The
photographic collection includes the majority of the Atkins High School graduation
class photos from the 1930s to 1971.
This branch is the home of the Children's Outreach Department of the library system.
Two youth-oriented mini-libraries are managed from the Heritage Center.
A library branch to serve African-American residents of Winston-Salem opened on
February 15, 1927. For four years, it occupied quarters in the Chestnut Street Branch
of the YWCA. The Library was named for famous African-American poet, George Moses
In 1931, the city rented one room for a library at 216 East Sixth Street, formerly
a store. The Library remained there until 1937 when another room was rented and
the space was doubled.
In 1953, Dr. H.D. Malloy, Sr., Dr. H. Rembert Malloy, and Dr. J.C. Jordan donated
land for a new library facility on East Seventh Street. It faced the Kate B. Reynolds
Memorial Hospital.
On November 14, 1954, the East Winston Branch Library was dedicated and opened to
the public the next day. The building was designed similarly to the newly finished
Central Library on West Fifth Street.
In 1998, the branch was designated a Heritage Center. On January 12, 2004, the Forsyth
County Commissioners changed the name to the Malloy-Jordan/East Winston Heritage
Center. The dedication program was held on April 25, 2004.
Those who have managed the Library over the years include: Mary Hairston, Nell Wright,
Bennie Moore, Margaret Allen, Mary Bruce, JoAnn Shihabi, Dothula Butler, Jane Steele,
Barbara Anderson, and Tim Jackson, Jr.

The Battle of Stone Mill is a major engagement in the War of the Five Kings. It is recounted by Edmure Tully in his report to King in the North Robb Stark in "Walk of Punishment", the third episode of Season 3. Chronologically, the timing of the battle is not given but seems to be after the Battle of the Blackwater, which happened in the ninth episode of Season 2.
Having decided to give up his stronghold at Harrenhal, Lord Tywin Lannister and the bulk of the Lannister army marched south-east to King's Landing to engage the forces of Stannis Baratheon. Tywin left Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain, in command of the garrison at Harrenhal, instructing him to ravage the countryside.[1]
The Stark army under King Robb Stark abandoned its invasion of the Westerlands - now fruitless since they lacked the strength to attack Casterly Rock[2] - and marched east to besiege Harrenhal and flush out the Mountain. However, upon their arrival they discovered that the Mountain had already slaughtered the prisoners at Harrenhal and fled.[3]
Gregor Clegane's forces seized command of the shore opposite Stone Mill. Edmure Tully, commanding Robb's forces at and around Riverrun, decided to engage the Mountain's forces and seized the mill.[4]
The Battle
Tactically, the battle was an amazing success, inflicting disproportionate losses on the Lannisters and forcing Gregor Clegane to retreat from the Red Fork of the Trident. They fell back on Casterly Rock. This removed them from being in immediate striking distance of Riverrun itself. Tywin's young nephews, Willem and Martyn Lannister, are taken hostage in the battle.[5]
Strategically, the battle was a significant blunder. Robb Stark's plan was to lure Gregor Clegane's forces further west into the Riverlands where they could be surrounded and destroyed. Edmure's attack instead allowed Clegane to escape.[6]
In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, the battle is similar but takes on a considerably greater strategic significance. In the novels the main Lannister army under Tywin was lured by Robb from Harrenhal and marched west, Tywin facing unrest from his bannermen as Robb's forces ravaged their homeland. Tywin's main army attempted to cross the Red Fork of the Trident south of Riverrun, only to face significant Riverlands opposition led by Edmure Tully, who seized the opportunity to prove himself a battle commander the equal of his nephew.
The battle was fought over an extremely wide front, encompassing fords to the south and north of Riverrun, and featured the entire main Lannister army attempting to cross the river. Edmure's forces were fewer in number but held the strategic high ground on each side of the fords, and were able to subject the Lannister forces to withering arrow fire as they attempted to cross. Ser Jason Mallister commanded the defense of four fords to the south of Riverrun, and Karyl Vance commanded the defense of fords to the north, while Edmure Tully commanded the defense of the fords closest to Riverrun itself. The fiercest assault came at Stone Mill in the center, where the forces commanded by Ser Gregor Clegane himself managed to gain a foothold on the west bank of the river despite suffering terrible losses, but were then driven back when Edmure hit them with his reserves.
The entire campaign was led by Tywin, whilst Gregor Clegane personally commanded the main thrust at Stone Mill. Whilst the battle was raging, Tywin received word that Stannis Baratheon was about to attack King's Landing. He withdrew from the engagement, turned his army south and marched to the headwaters of the Blackwater Rush. They built barges and skiffs and were able to rapidly head downriver, meeting the army of House Tyrell along the way. This allowed the combined Lannister and Tyrell armies to then attack Stannis's flank at the Battle of the Blackwater, routing him.
Robb later chastises Edmure for his blunder, saying that the northmen had identified a valley in the western mountains where they planned to lure Tywin Lannister into a trap and destroy his main army. By preventing his crossing, Edmure won a strategically meaningless short-term victory at the cost of a possible long-term victory for the entire campaign. Edmure angrily pointed out that the blunder was due to Robb not trusting him with his plans.
In the TV series the timing and nature of the battle is changed. The entire battle now takes place at the Stone Mill and seems to be much smaller in scale, with Gregor's forces consisting almost solely of the garrison Tywin left him at Harrenhal. Rather than being forced to retreat eastwards to King's Landing, Gregor's forces were instead forced to retreat westwards to Casterly Rock. The overall strategic significance of the battle was also downplayed: in the TV series it only meant that the Mountain would survive to cause further problems later on.
One minor change is about Martyn and Willem Lannister: none of them was taken captive at the Battle of Stone Mill, and not by the Tullys. Willem and his cousin Tion Frey were captured by the Starks at the Battle of the Whispering Wood, while Martyn was captured at the Battle of Oxcross.

PC023: Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part 1)
this wiki
|This article is currently being remodeled.
Meowth wants to enjoy the last days of his vacation with a picnic lunch in the park. But Meowth's sandwich starts floating in the air and it zooms away when Meowth tries to chase it! Meowth chases the sandwich through the park and runs right through the special reception Azumarill is preparing for Azurill who is coming from out of town. After a commotion like that, all the Pokémon friends end up chasing the sandwich! When the sandwich goes flying, Teddiursa catches it and gobbles it down in one gulp. The other Pokémon spot a footprint that suggests it was an invisible Pokémon who first swiped the sandwich, but who?
Just then, Meowth sees a strange red stripe floating by. This must be the invisible Pokémon! One of Pichu Brothers asks a Smeargle for help and Smeargle throws paint around until the invisible Pokémon is covered in paint and plain to see. It's a Kecleon! Kecleon runs away, but its paint-covered footsteps lead the others to an empty pipe. Inside the pipe are Kecleon and the Azurill that Azumarill was waiting for: Kecleon was stealing the food for Azurill! Once everything is cleared up, the Pokémon settle down to a delicious picnic with friends.

When adding categories to pages, please take the time to follow the related tree you will generally find that they're on a higher up category. Yvette and Henri are not tagged as film-only characters because it's the French coven tagged as such. MinorStoop 18:46, December 11, 2012 (UTC)
When adding pictures to pages, I'd recommend working in source mode, rather than visual mode; it helps avoiding putting links within the text. Please, take also care to alternate pictures between left and right of the page - you just need to add the "|left" code somewhere in the link. MinorStoop 16:15, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
Please, do not add the "Relationship" redirect to pages - the page has a different purpose. MinorStoop 15:52, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
- I must look into that.
- Differently from pages such as Vampire or Shape-shifter which are an in-depth examination of the creatures, the relationship page is just a jumble list of all the relationships in the saga. The "Relationship" paragraph in the single character pages deals with other characters she/he interacts with. A link to those character pages, therefore, has a meaning, but not a link to "relationships". 16:15, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
- Truth to tell, I'm not so sure whether I gave you the correct instructions - it's a tough question. I'm consulting TagAlongPam about it; let's leave pages as they are until she tells us her opinion. MinorStoop 16:15, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
- Confirmed - the tempate goes, the page it points to not being a more in-depth analysis of the page's relationships, but just a list. MinorStoop 07:49, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Gallery: Amun and Kebi
That's no big deal - Amun and Kebi are actually very minor characters, so it is simply to be expected that they've got few pics. It's not worth the effort to delete the page. MinorStoop 15:57, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
Rachel Black image
That pic of Rachel Black has been downchecked a long time ago. Only thing that keeps it on-wiki is that it's used on a personal blog. MinorStoop 08:45, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
Your reverts indicate a good understanding of this wiki's structure - on occasion (such as Mr. ExecutionBallet's latest) you might want to add to them a warning to the perp. If you feel like, it's no imposition. Should you be interested, you may apply to Pam for rollback rights - I'd be glad to sponsor you. MinorStoop 19:06, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

- Civil unions bill takes another step in Colo.
The first gay speaker of the Colorado House ferociously defended the right of gay couples to form civil unions during a lengthy debate Monday, arguing that Republicans' attempts to amend his bill amounted to promoting discrimination.
Rep. Mark Ferrandino, a gay Denver Democrat, has a reputation as a numbers wonk and someone who struggles to hold back tears, whether it's when his peers elected him speaker or when he voted for a tenure bill that teachers opposed.
But on Monday, Ferrandino showed another side, his voice rising again and again as he ripped Republicans for their attempts to add religious exemptions or send the issue to a vote of the people.
"I don't ask to put your relationships up to a vote of the people," he said.
After a debate that lasted 4½ hours, the House gave initial approval to Senate Bill 11, which already has passed the Senate. The House on Tuesday will take a formal, recorded vote on the measure, and as Democrats control the House 37-28, the outcome is not in doubt.
At least two Republicans support the measure: Cheri Gerou of Evergreen and Carole Murray of Castle Rock.
"What I think this bill is really about is personal freedom and individual liberties," Gerou said. "I think this is a good conservative bill."
Gov. John Hickenlooper is expected to sign the bill into law this month; it would be implemented May 1.
"This bill is about three simple things," Ferrandino said at the start of the debate. "It's about love, it's about family, and it's about equality under the law."
Rep. Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs, who has heard the bill three times in three years in the House Judiciary Committee, led the Republican caucus in opposition to the bill.
Of particular concern was that this year's bill does not allow religious exemptions for groups such as adoption agencies, further igniting Focus on the Family, the Catholic Church and other organizations already opposed to the measure.
"It infringes the free exercise of religion and moral conscience," he said.
Gardner introduced an amendment allowing religious-based private agencies an out so they would not have to violate personal beliefs when it came to same-sex couples.
Ferrandino rebuked efforts to undo that part of the bill. He said his bill is an attempt at equality and that he wasn't about to sanction discrimination.
"We have a horrible history of Amendment 2 in this state," he said. "I don't think we want to go back to that."
Amendment 2 prohibited laws protecting gays from discrimination. Colorado was dubbed the "hate state" after voters approved the measure in 1992, but it was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1996.
One of the most vocal opponents of the measure, Rep. Lori Saine, R-Dacono, repeatedly mentioned religious references to civil unions.
"What this bill is about, really, is the Bible. Is it right or wrong?" she said.
Ferrandino also said a civil union is not marriage, although Republicans pointed out the word "spouse" is in the bill.
"I fully support full equality, which means marriage for gay and lesbian couples," Ferrandino said. "But until the voters say otherwise, civil unions is the closest we can do as a General Assembly to make sure that all families are provided protections under the law."
Voters in 2006 passed a constitutional amendment that defined marriage in Colorado as between a man and a woman.
The debate Monday could not be any more different than last year, when Republicans controlled the House 33-32. At least three and as many as five Republicans were on board, and, knowing Ferrandino had the votes to pass it, Republican Speaker Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch refused to call the bill up for debate. It died on the second-to-last night of the session in dramatic fashion.
Democrats won back the House in November in an election that saw a record number of gays elected to the legislature.
Ferrandino pointed out that five members of the 65-member House are gay, as are three members in the 35-member Senate. Colorado has the distinction of having the most gays per capita serving in the legislature.
"We are equal in many ways to the 60 members of this body — our love is not equal, and our families are not equal," Ferrandino said.
The bill also was co-sponsored by Rep. Sue Schafer, a gay Wheat Ridge Democrat.

Lissa has always dreamed of writing and publishing a book. So of course she was thrilled, after nine years of writing romance, to sell her first book to the Silhouette Romance series in December of 2001. A devoted romance reader since the age of 14 when a neighbor loaned her a copy of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss's The Wolf and the Dove, Lissa can't think of a better, more fulfilling job. The fact that she can work in her pajamas at midnight makes being a writer even more perfect.
An Oregonian since the age of five, Lissa makes her home in the gorgeous city of Portland with her college-sweetheart husband of 19 years, her two children and two toy poodles who think they run the household. She and her family spent two years living overseas in Hong Kong for her husband's job, a life-changing, culturally challenging adventure she will never forget. When she's not writing, she enjoys reading (of course!), crafting, spending time at the family vacation home at the beach and going to her daughter's soccer games and her son's baseball games.
Having discovered her love of writing after her college years, Lissa has a business degree from the University of Oregon, and worked in the printing industry until her first child was two. She then traded her career for full-time motherhood. When her second child arrived, she needed an outlet from diapers and strollers. Her love of romance novels in mind, she sat down and started typing.
Her first novel, a terribly melodramatic historical, was written in her makeshift office in the dining room during nap times. A few years later she joined Romance Writer's of America, found her fantastic and faithful critique group, and decided to try her hand at writing series contemporaries. Her first effort never sold, but her second, started while living in Hong Kong, did. Finally, her dream had come true—writing romance novels with those wonderful happily-ever-after endings every romance reader loves.
You can reach Lissa at P.O. Box 91336, Portland, Oregon, 97291-0336.

In Park City, we get a sneak peek at 2013 model-year bikes from Pivot, Intense, Surly, Ritchey and others.--Ron Koch
Scott developed two new mountain bike helmets for 2013 and each utilizes MIPS technology. MIPS stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System and the design reduces rotational forces created when your helmet strikes the ground or other hard object. The concept is based on your brain's natural protective system, which uses fluid between your brain and the skull to reduce rotational forces in a fall. The MIPS design uses a low-friction layer between the outer shell and liner to distribute and absorb those forces. It's been in development for 15 years and is already used in some helmets. Scott's Lin and Taal models should be in shops this winter.
