LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - In the 11th hour, talks between Texas Tech officials and head coach Mike Leach end in a contract deal.
You'll remember the deadline for Leach to sign a contract extension ended Tuesday afternoon at 5 p.m. with negotiations at a standstill, but Thursday both sides met to reopen discussions, and an agreement was reached in the early afternoon.
At a 6 p.m. live news conference Thursday, Mike Leach and Texas Tech announce the details of a new 5-year deal. The offer is up to $12.7 million over five years and the four points of disagreement were settled.
The Texas Tech Regents were scheduled to meet on this issue Friday. But the Chancellor says that meeting is now cancelled.
To watch the complete press conference click on the streaming video icon above.
Here is a transcript of what was said:
(Kent Hance, Texas Tech Chancellor)
I'm pleased to announce today an agreement with coach Mike Leach to extend his contract through the year 2013. I respect Mike and all that he's done for Texas Tech football. Thanks to him we have sold out football games and national rankings. We're very proud of Mike. I've always said Mike Leach was a great fit for Texas Tech. And I think he fits us well. We like him and we'd like for him to be here.
(Kent Hance)
I also appreciate Gerald Myers and the job that he's done in managing all 17 of our athletic programs. And I'll just say this. No one loves Texas Tech more or as given more of their life to Texas Tech than Gerald Myers. And it's my pleasure at this time to introduce out Athletic Director, Coach Gerald Myers.
(Gerald Myers, Texas Tech Athletic Director)
Well, to put it mildly this has been a tough negotiation. It's been a tough time. And it's really good to get it behind us. I know a lot of you sitting out there said we wouldn't get it done. But it's done. We're pleased. I think Mike is pleased with it. I think everybody concerned is pleased with the agreement that we have in place. And I will say this. I said this in the beginning of negotiations that I wanted Mike to be our coach. I think that got lost with all the rhetoric and speculation and everything else through the process. I've never wavered on that part. I wanted him to be our coach. And I'm excited about our football team, about our players; I see them working hard every day. I mean, they're working just as hard right now as they did back in August when they started. And I'm excited about our team. And I'm looking forward to another exciting year of Texas Tech football. With that I will turn it over to Mike.
(Mike Leach, Texas Tech Head Football Coach)
I want to thank Chancellor Hance. With [out] his leadership I don't know that this contract would have gotten done and so I really appreciate his efforts in ultimately brining this whole thing all together. And I want to thank coach Myers for his help and support with regard to that and his leadership in the athletic department. Me and my family are thrilled to death that we're gonna be in Lubbock for another five years because it's become a part of our family.
(Mike Leach)
And at the rate I get folks saying "I just don't know if you like Lubbock" it's like I don't know how we can get more rooted any deeper than we already are. So, I've decided rather than mess with all of that I'm going to say I love Lubbock every single press conference. And so, our family all loves Lubbock and I appreciate Chancellor Hance and Gerald's efforts to allow us to stay here and the opportunity to be your coach for the Red Raiders for what I hope is many years to come. And as I've said for some time I'm thrilled about this season. We've a group that there's not all these "this guy's a star" or "that guy's a star" [They're] all really highly motivated and work really hard and every time you check on them everyone is doing things right. So, it's kind of scaring me right now. So, I don't know if which pipe will burst or one will.
We're excited about the season, can't wait for Spring. With regard to all of this, I mean, there's a lot of people involved that make Texas Tech and make football. Y'know, it starts with our fans and their spirit and their support. So, I'm thankful to all those people.
(Kent Hance)
I know that you probably have some questions. I was just going to invite those questions. I think probably the big question will be: what about the four areas that there was disagreement? Taking those four; on the issue of approval to interview another school, we've changed that to notification. Gerald says that's all he wants, and that's all I wanted. And Mike said that's great with him. We also on the marketing part, I think we probably didn't explain that well enough. And that was a little vague and confusing to the general public as well as to Mike. The main thing that we're trying to do is that last year we felt like Mike was not marketed as well as he should have been. And that's something; we've got a new marketing group that's coming in. And we plan to market him. We think that as a Red Raider there's all kinds of potential out there from additional Red Raiders to Pirates. We plan to market him. He said that would be great with him and so we agreed on that. There really wasn't any disagreement on that. We've never wanted book rights or movie rights. I might want a walk on part in the movie. But we reached an agreement on that without any problems.
(Kent Hance)
The other two provisions had to do with a buyout and had to do with the termination. And the termination; we had proposed $300,000 a year for the number of years left. And they had proposed 30 percent. And we reached deal today at $400,000 a year for the number of years left. And on the buyout, for him to go to another school, after talking to him & everything I'm convinced that this is a five-year contract but he wants to be here a lot more than five years. If he didn't want to be here, why should we penalize him if he wanted to leave. So, I just said we'll make that zero on the buyout. And there's certainly no buyout in there, because I know he's not leaving. And Mike likes us, we like Mike. And this was kind of an unusual situation. People said there were some disagreements. We care, and we care deeply about Texas Tech. And we all have issues we have to look after and I think that pretty well sums it up on those issues. And we're happy about it and we shook hands and had a good visit.

Over the weekend a chipper Kate Gosselin and her brood were seen with their trusty film crew as they shot new scenes for the upcoming July 11 special of 'Kate plus 8.'
This time all the action came to the family. On June 12 paparazzi captured pictures of the Gosselins as they welcomed an Amish farmer and crew and built a chicken coop! It's a win win situation for "cast" and coop builders because the kids learned about sustainability and Kate signed copies of her latest book for the construction crew.

Teen Karate (Ages 13+)
There are many reasons why teens participate in Martial Arts training. It is a great way to get in shape and maintain a sound physical fitness regimen. It also is an excellent way for you to gain the proper self-defense skills that every person should have in today's society. The benefit of knowing how to ensure your safety in any given situation gives you a sense of control and empowerment over everything you do in your daily life.
Specifics: This training system is effective for teens, no matter what the fitness level or age. It teaches the basic fundamentals of self-defense while providing a strong cardiovascular workout. The high level of personal challenge also aids in relieving stress and tension.
Benefits: The physical and personal benefits of this system can help teens:
Teaching Concept: E.Y. Martial Arts & Self-Defense Concepts is a lifetime learning concept based on centuries old martial arts.
A further word about martial arts training for teens.....
A common parental concern is that martial arts will encourage violence and aggression. The opposite is true. Through consistent training, teens will quickly discover an inner confidence and strength which enables them to move beyond the need to prove themselves physically. Patience and tolerance replace anger and frustration, giving the the child the courage to walk away.
Martial arts training takes physical aggression and redirects it in a positive and constructive manner tempered with strict discipline and control. Parents are excited to see the self-discipline, focus control and increased concentration carry over into everyday life.
The physical, mental, emotional and developmental benefits provided by martial arts training are unparalleled. No other single activity will provide your child with all the benefits martial arts has to offer. It's no wonder that so many doctors and educators recommend martial arts training for teens.

The caveman comedy ''The Croods'' opened at No. 1 with $44.7 million, according to Sunday studio estimates. The 3-D adventure from DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox features a voice cast including Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, and Catherine Keener. They play a prehistoric family encountering danger and strange new creatures when they're forced to find a new cave. Opening strongly in second place with $30.5 million was ''Olympus Has Fallen,'' an action thriller from ''Training Day'' director Antoine Fuqua in which North Korean terrorists take over the White House. Gerard Butler, as a Secret Service agent, leads an all-star cast that includes Aaron Eckhart as the president, Morgan Freeman, and Angela Bassett. ''The Croods'' has now made $108 million worldwide, also opening this weekend in Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain. In the United States, it's the only game in town as far as animated films for the whole family, and it will continue to be so as kids head out of school for spring break over the next couple of weeks. ''Olympus Has Fallen'' also opened higher than expectations — much higher — given that FilmDistrict figured it would end up somewhere in the under-$20 million range, said president of distribution Jim Orr. This is by far the biggest debut for the independent distributor, which was founded in September 2010; the previous best was the $14.3 million the ''Red Dawn'' remake made over last year's Thanksgiving weekend. This weekend's haul is down 34 percent from the same weekend a year ago, when the juggernaut of ''The Hunger Games'' debuted. It made a whopping $152.5 million in its opening, which is more than all the films in theaters combined will have made this weekend. Among the other new films this weekend, the Tina Fey-Paul Rudd college comedy, ''Admission,'' from Focus Features opened in fifth place with just $6.4 million. The buzzed-about ''Spring Breakers'' from A24 Films, featuring Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, did well in its first nationwide expansion. It made $5 million on 1,104 screens for a total of $5.4 million over the past two weeks. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at US and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

The Platform, Celebrating New Talent, Will Debut in December; Special Guests Include Lilli Cooper, Ben Fankhauser, Blake Daniel
By Andrew Gans
The Platform, a new concert series created by composer Drew Gasparini to give new writers, singers and artists a platform to showcase their work, will kickoff Dec. 2 at The Flute in Gramercy.
Gasparini will also host the evening, which will feature the talents of Monet Sabel, Keith White, Alexander Boikai, Justin Luciano and Emily Kay Shrader, who will be singing the material of new composers Zack Zadek, Alexander Sage Oyen, Rob DelGaudio, Benjamin Velez, and Shapiro & Christensen.
The evening, which begins at 8 PM, will also include special appearances by Jonathan Reid Gealt and Joey Contreras with special performances by Broadway's Lilli Cooper, Ben Fankhauser and Blake Daniel.
In a statement Gasparini said, "After Monday Nights New Voices ended last year, there hasn't been a whole lot of concerts that showcase the new people in New York City. I think it's important to give them the support it takes to feel noticed out here, especially because there is so much great talent. So this is my little spin on a 'new voices' kind of concert series."
Gasparini is currently in the midst of recording his first musical theatre compilation album featuring some of Broadway's greatest talents. His songs will also be featured on the second season of NBC's "Smash."
The Flute Theatre is located at 40 East 20th Street. There is a $10 cover and a two-drink minimum (18+); for reservations call (212) 529-2870 or visit www.FluteBar.com.

WILLIAMSVILLE, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont man has pleaded guilty to attempting to draw fire from state police after shooting bullets from his handgun.
Welton Townsend, 71, of Williamsville, was sentenced Thursday to a suspended term of four to eight months. The Brattleboro Reformer reports his lawyer said Townsend had no prior criminal record and had been suffering from bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts.
Police responded to Townsend's home in April. When they arrived, they said Townsend left the home and threatened troopers with a "shootout."
Police surrounded the home and tried to convince him to speak to them. They said Townsend began to fire rounds from a handgun into the air. Police did not fire back and he stopped firing shots. Townsend surrendered.

It's Saturday morning and it's hard to resist sleeping in and letting the kids waste a few more hours watching cartoons. It's the easy choice, it's free and you'll feel better in the afternoon. Besides, that's what they want to do.
A little mind is a terrible thing to leave in front of the Boob Tube for five hours every Saturday morning. It's up to the parent to take the initiative to break the cycle of intellectual malnourishment that comes from an ovedose of watching TVs. Parents should make the time to plan wholesome and educational activities that the entire family can enjoy on the weekends. Most of us know that already and the problem is that it's hard to plan family outings on a budget. For all those thrifty parents out there, here are three activities you can do with your kids that won't put a dent in your wallet. In fact it's an opportunity for you to bond with that child, for the child to develop dexterity, and motivate them to fix and build things. Bonding aside, it's always good to have a ten year old fix-it child around the house.
Over the last few years, movie ticket prices have escalated at a faster pace than inflation. If you have kids, going to the movies can run you $50 and that's before you make the obligatory visit to the confectionery stand for overpriced popcorn and pop. But fear not, there's some sweet deals for families that have flexible schedules this summer. Here are 5 of the best covering over 1,000 movie theaters:
I have been writing for some time that the death of cable companies will come when premium services like HBO and Showtime start offering their shows via an online subscription. HBO announced today the availability of HBO-Go, an online streaming of many of their hit shows and movies. But if you are clicking on a new browser tab to sign up, you'll want to know about a not-so-little catch.

The Scary Possibility of An Allergic Reaction While On-Board an AirplaneFlying on an airplane can be particularly dangerous for a person who is allergic to nuts. Peanuts and tree nuts are commonly served on airplanes -- and given the small space inside an airplane, accidental exposure to nuts eaten by a nearby fellow passenger is possible. In addition, medical resources are limited while flying on an airplane, so a person who is experiencing an emergency as a result of a peanut or tree nut allergy is at greater danger than a person who is not flying in an airplane. So it's important to identify ways to reduce a person's accidental exposure to peanuts and tree nuts, and therefore reduce the chance that an allergic reaction will occur as a result.
There is no consistent policy on peanut and tree nut allergies for the major airlines based in the United States. In fact, in 1999, the U.S. government prevented funding assistance for airlines to make accommodations for people with nut allergies. And in 2011, the U.S. Department of Transportation decided not to involve itself in the controversial issue of serving nuts on U.S. airlines, as there is no data to suggest that this would actually reduce allergic reactions from exposure to nuts.
Reducing the Chance of an Allergic Reaction From Nuts While FlyingA recent study published in 2013 sought to determine the factors that can actually reduce the chance of a person's having an allergic reaction to peanuts or tree nuts while flying on a commercial airplane. The study surveyed over 3,000 people with nut allergies, and found that more than 10% reported having an allergic reaction to nuts while flying on an airplane. Of those experiencing an allergic reaction, approximately 13% received injectable epinephrine as a result — most commonly from the person's own device. People experiencing cardiovascular symptoms (such as lightheadedness) or gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea or abdominal cramping) seemed to be more likely to receive injectable epinephrine compared to those with other types of allergic symptoms.
Several factors seemed to separate those who never experienced an allergic reaction from nut exposure on an airplane, compared to those that have. People were less likely to experience an allergic reaction to nuts aboard an airplane if they requested a nut-free meal, wiped down their tray table before use, avoided using airline-provided pillows or blankets, requested that the people around them not eat nuts, or if they brought their own food on-board the airplane. Of these factors, the biggest that seemed to cut the risk of an allergic reaction from nuts seemed to be either bringing one's own food aboard the airplane, or requesting a nut-free meal from the airline. Surprisingly, flying with an airline that has a "nut-free" policy on-board their airplanes did not reduce the chance that injectable epinephrine would be required to treat an allergic reaction as a result of accidental exposure to nuts.
The recommendations I would give to a person with a nut allergy as a result of this study would be to always carry injectable epinephrine while flying, bring your own food from home on board the airplane (or request a "nut-free" meal or snack from the airline), and notify the airline of your special needs in advance. Following these few but important tips will hopefully allow those with a nut allergy to fly safely on a commercial airplane.

Governance of Clubs and Firms with Cultural Dimensions
AbstractThe neoclassical way to cope with firms providing services, or with clubs procuring services, is restricted by the lack of institutional features. An institutional approach is introduced that requires a cooperative governance to realize the potential value-production by firms, or to realize the potential user-value by clubs. For each, a distinctive governance system is introduced. The firm requires an implementation governance to activate the value-production capacities of its service providers. It is empowered top-down by the unique top- position of the organization. The club, on the other hand, requires a representation governance to aggregate the user-values of its members for some common service and to order this service. It is empowered bottom-up by the service-users, i.e., the members of the club using that common service. Institutional characteristics are also re ected in the distribution functions that are used inrewarding positions in firms and clubs. Some cultural dimensions are expressed in these distribution functions. That allows us to relate characteristics of governance systems to society's cultural dimensions.

The King's speech. Starring a certain Gheorghe Hagi…
Going to Turkey once, years ago, I was stopped at the security check on Ataturk airport and asked to go inside a booth for a body search. It never took place, as I've spent a couple of minutes talking about Hagi. And the officer there wasn't even a Galatasaray fan…
They love him. They really do. And those who don't sing their love for him, because they support Fener of Besiktas, respect him. I sometimes wonder if it's the same in Romania. At times, I'm convinced we don't. Experts in mocking those doing better than us, we've found Hagi's weakness: his speech. Aware that a man so good on the ball can't be that good with words, we laugh at his interviews. We've reduced his fantastic personality to some phrases. We've decided to ignore all his ideas and projects and have a good long look (and laugh) at his words. I admit, he can be funny. Hell, I even use one of his funniest expressions every once in a while, for a good laugh…
The question is: if I will ever have the chance to meet him, will I be able to find my words? Will I be able to avoid embarrassment and put together a few words? I hope so. At least three of them are necessary. Because I do love him for the fantastic player he was. And for the honest and humble person he is. And for blessing a nation with his skill and for the way he keeps forgiving us for laughing at his continuous attempts to keep on doing some good to Romanian football…
Today, the great man turns 49. La multi ani, Gica! We do love you, it's just that, for some reason, we either don't know or don't want to show it…
Steaua's goal in the Youth League: avoid embarrassing results
Just to prove that "I told you so", here's a link on a piece I wrote back in January. Steaua's U19 and U17 teams were coming after heavy defeats suffered at the hands of Hagi's Academy and nobody at the club seemed preoccupied about the fact that, in 8 months time, the club's work at youth level will be exposed in the UEFA Youth League. A competition that's supposed to act as a platform for young talents, offering them a chance to gain invaluable experience and impress on the European stage, but not for the Romanian champions, who decided years ago that there's no point in running a decent academy when the owner is rich enough to sign basically any young prospect that makes his way in the top flight and looks promising enough.
Well, the 8 months went by quickly and when the club realized that its' image is at stake in the little brother of the Champions League, worked on an emergency plan. The management struck a deal with Gheorghe Hagi, who cannot hide his affection for the Bucharest club, and a one year long loan deal involving 6 of his players was agreed. The solution will certainly help the team trained by Ion Toma, but the young coach (who made a name for himself and got this contract after impressing in a highschool competition) is realistic enough to keep the expectation level extremely low: "We cannot kid ourselves, our goal is not to get thrashed, to avoid embarrassment."
Toma isn't that confident that the injection of quality from Hagi's Academy can boost Steaua's chances to do well against the likes of Chelsea, Schalke or FC Basel, but, in truth, he does get some promising faces under his command. Alexandru Tarnovan and Ionut Mitrita have already some first league appearances with Viitorul and, for me, take a big risk by giving up the chance to feature in more senior games this term, in Liga I, in exchange for six appearances in the UEFA Youth League. For their sake, the loan deal will allow them to return to Viitorul in the winter, as playing senior football at this age is vital for their development. Also, Robert Hodorogea and Bogdan Vasile are U19 Romanian internationals, and look consistent and reliable, qualities you don't see that often in (Romanian) players of their age. Steaua also loaned from Targu Mures another good prospect, Razvan Stoica, while in goal they can count on Valentin Cojocaru, who has been training for a while with the senior team and looked close to a deal with Liverpool, not so long ago.
Still, Steaua's U19 coach speaks from experience, as he has struggled to make his U19 team click in the previous season and now has little time to make this lot play as a unit. Maybe the help promised by Laurentiu Reghecampf, who will try to pass on his methods and also worke twice a week with the youngsters, can make the difference. Or, better said, can save face. I doubt that a club who has paid so little attention to its youth setup for so many years can trick teams who treated seriously the work in this sector, with just a little help from Hagi, who just found another purpose to his young Academy. Viitorul can even relegate from Liga I – it will qualify every year for the UEFA Youth League :)

Denis Alibec – getting stronger, older, but not any wiser
Everybody was excited about the skinny forward from Constanta a few years ago and Inter moved quickly to get the signature of Denis Alibec, in spite of the failure to get anything out of Ianis Zicu, who was definitely more talented. I remember watching him playing for Romania's U19, soon after his move to Milano, and his arrogance and selfishness were difficult to digest. Had a gut feeling he's not going to make it and something similar I felt not long ago, when I've seen Chievo's Adrian Stoian – praised in Italy for his quality and potential – pull on the yellow shirt nobody really seems to care about these days…
Years went by and Alibec failed to make it in Italy, although his performances with the nerazzurri's Primavera certainly hadn't gone un-noticed, Jose Mourinho wanting to have a look at the Romanian forward and offering him the chance to train with the seniors and even play. But, when everything seemed to go right, something changed the path of his career. He was sent on loan to Mechelen, in Belgium's top flight, to get more experience among the seniors, but his difficult character was too much to deal with in what was supposed to be the quiet, calm environment that should have helped him blossom. Left the club after a fight with the coach and without a backup plan and a return to Romania, further away from the professional world, remained Inter only rehab solution. But Alibec isn't surrounded by enemies and people who don't see and appreciate his talents, as he probably thinks, and Gheorghe Hagi sacrificed a place in his newly promoted team, Viitorul Constanta, at the expense of one of his Academy's better products (93 born Gavra barely got the chance to play last season). Alibec, "who seems to gain weight when he breaths", played 23 matches in Liga 1 and, although his numbers might not be great, with 5 goals and 5 assists, he definitely impressed with a combination of physical strength and technical ability difficult to find in any other Romanian striker. This and Hagi's word were enough for Steaua to really consider a move for him this summer, on condition Inter can be tricked to get nothing in exchange of what was considered now a player able to help the Bucharest side get into the Champions League's groups stage. Talks were fueled by the press, but several Italian scouts were adamant the move would not go through, as "there's interest for the player from the Serie A".
They were right, Bologna moved for the 22 years old, who should have been more than happy at getting a second chance in Serie A. He's not… "I'm sorry I have to leave behind my friends and my family. I hoped to be able to move to Steaua, but my faith is decided by Inter", he stated to the press immediately after the deal was announced, without a second thought about the impact of his words on his near future. If a colder reception both from the staff, his colleagues and the fans should await in Emilia-Romagna, he should look back and think about his words. Or think about thinking before speaking. But the nightmare of having a second chance to impress in Serie A should not be long. He can wake up from it whenever he feels like it. It wouldn't be the first time, he's getting quite experienced at throwing away his chances to really make it…
What could Hagi sell first? A left footed number 10!
After 3 years of hard work and many more millions invested in a football academy and a football club promoted to the top flight last summer, Gheorghe Hagi is ready to collect his first cheque and it could well be a player that has quite a few things in common with the man once nicknamed Maradona of the Carpathians. He's a precocious left footed attacking midfielder who doesn't feel the weight of the number 10 shirt nor the pressure of first division football at a young age, in the team with the youngest average age in the league, and has already netted 6 goals in 16 appearances, at the age of 18.
Tested by Ajax Amsterdam, who already has its expert eyes on the likes of Bogdan Tiru and Cristian Gavra – other two talents from Hagi's Academy – and scouted also by Galatasaray, who could really sell the story of the King's heir in Turkey, Iancu is now facing the biggest decision of his young career. In need of cash to continue the development of the Academy, as well as supporting the growing costs of a first division club, Hagi has decided to listen to any offers this winter and Steaua Bucharest was the quickest to table a sum close to what's expected in exchange of a player that doesn't pop up very often in this part of the world.
He started just like me, at a young age and in the sound of goals. He's skilful and has the ability to make quick decisions. By doing so, Iancu looks quick in everything he does, although he's not the fastest player around.
Gheorghe Hagi on Gabriel Iancu
"Steaua must now discuss personal terms with the player", admits Hagi, who refuses to say that the race between interested clubs has now ended, but as far as I know, has demanded some guarantees that the youngster will be offered the chance to play for the senior team, so he can continue his impressive development. Hopefully, Steaua will keep its' word, not only for Iancu's sake, but also for the club's image, more famous recently for wasting talent, rather than properly nurturing it…
Is Hagi the key in Chivu's tranfer to Galatasaray?
FCM Resita – Universitatea Craiova – Ajax Amsterdam – AS Roma – Inter Milano. What's next for Cristi Chivu, currently out of contract with Inter and caught between staying on a lower wage in Milano or moving away for a last, big deal. He's 31 and never looked desperate to switch clubs, probably that's why he's still negotiating with the team he served since 2007. The injury to his head – which was probably decisive in his decision to retire from a national team that got him more criticism than praise in recent years – has also contributed to an even safer approach and I never trusted the rumor that he would leave Inter for Napoli. But now Galatasaray is on the cards and he is definitely considering it, although Turkish fans can suffocate you with their love, imagine what is on the cards, if things were to go the wrong way…
So, either a serious wage cut and a backup role in Stramaccioni's Inter (totally deserved, for his below par performances in the last couple of seasons) or a salary and a contract length closer to his demands from Galatasaray, a club which offered the perfect, well deserved career-ending for two of Romania's greatest players, Gica Hagi and Gica Popescu. A quiet life in Milano, where his family feels at home or a move to the passionate Istanbul, which would challenge not only him as a player, but also his family?
Chivu's choice was already difficult, but Hagi stepped in and, after the 31 years old had a first talk with Fatih Terim, accepted to work as link between the player and the club he loves. Asked by The Emperor to help him "get to know Chivu as a person", Hagi most likely had the nicest words about one of the best educated and well-behaved Romanian (and not only) footballers of the last decade: a family man, with a very quiet life, which unfortunately didn't spare him from a serious a injuries that usually haunt a different type of players, who look to enjoy every minute spent far from the pitch.
But Hagi he also had a chat with the player and recently explained the way he sees things: "At 31, you need to feel that you're still very important and he doesn't have that anymore at Inter. I've spoken with Terim and Galatasaray would definitely need a defender like Chivu. The club's interest in him is obvious."
In my opinion, this would have had "done deal" written all over it since the first day Terim spoke with Ioan Becali, the player's agent who easily finds a way to arrange things with Galatasaray, if it wasn't for Chivu's hope to continue with Inter. He obviously doesn't want to do it for a too low salary given his age, but money isn't enough to tempt him easily to Istanbul. This game of nerves could soon be over though, as Inter doesn't want to move an inch above the offered contract and Gala worked even harder to persuade the player, pulling more strings and throwing on the table Hagi "The King", a card that could value as the ace up Terim's sleeve, just like in the good old days…
Hagi's club, Viitorul Constanta, promoted to Liga I!
It all started three years ago, when the legendary Gheorghe Hagi started to develop his football academy, just outside Constanta. Three years and around 10 million Euros later, the results are outstanding and show that a serious approach to youth development will pay dividends. The Academy has now almost 30 players getting regular call-ups to Romania's youth national teams (Alexandru Buzbuchi, George Serban, Adrian Putanu, Bogdan Tiru, Gabriel Iancu and Cristian Gavra – all recently involved in the Elite Round played by the U19 in Serbia, against the hosts, Germany and Hungary) and today another important event took place.
Viitorul Constanta, the platform offered to the growing talents of the Academy to prove themselves among the seniors, won 2-0 against Sageata Stejaru (goals by the young internationals Putanu and Iancu) in the last round of the Liga 2 season and earned a second consecutive promotion. The blue and white outfit will be playing first division football next season and it's another fantastic achievement for Hagi's club.
Of course, this is the real test for the project and Hagi must be strong enough to resist the temptation to try and fight the usual faces of the first division using their weapons. He needs to stay faithful to the excellent work done so far and keep on offering the chance to play at a higher level to the most talented 17, 18 and 19 years old from his Academy. Viitorul doesn't need to do more than stay up in the clubs' first season on this stage and should stay focused on the club's main goal: promoting the excellent prospects who are already coming to age. There's the risk of going back to the second tier after one year, but let's not forget the not so old adventures of Sportul Studentesc, who even fought for the title a few years ago using only Romanian players – most of them very young -, a club Hagi's quite familiar with…
Victor Piturca's third spell at the national team starts now. Should we (re)start hoping?
He's the last coach to have qualified with Romania at a final tournament. It happened in 2008, when Romania topped a qualifying group that included the Netherlands, with 9 wins, 2 draws and just one defeat (0-1 against Bulgaria), and travelled to the European Championship hosted by Austria and Switzerland. Interesting stat: of the 23 players selected for that tournament, only two have retired from football (Cosmin Contra and Florentin Petre), with Cristian Chivu and Mirel Radoi retiring this year from international football, but continuing their careers at club level.
Piturca, who had also a first brief spell with the NT between 1998 and 1999, wasn't the Federation's first choice, but Mircea Sandu failed to convince Gheorghe Hagi and had to settle for a coach who comes after two huge scandals at club level, with Steaua and the recently relegated Universitatea Craiova.
Piturca has a record of 62 games, 36 wins, 13 draws and 13 defeats, with 105 goals scored and only 46 against. He loves to play a 4-1-4-1 system, which isn't far from what his predecessor, Razvan Lucescu, tried, but he likes to implement a possession game and determine the opposition to play a reactive game.
Romania's joke of a national team
I don't think it really matters who is going to take over this team. And I'm starting to think that it won't matter who is going to play for it, in the next few years. We've reached a point where the ability of the coach and the players' skill stopped counting. They'd come handy, no doubt, but they won't suffice. Not anymore. And we should stop looking for the Hagi that can score wonderful goals and start searching for the guys that feel the same way Gica used to feel when wearing the national team's outfit. Or Dorinel Munteanu, currently teaching some anonymous football players from Otelul Galati that the matches and the league titles can be won through hard, honest work. Or Gica Popescu, the man who knew that he could help Romanian football only by taking the the Romanian Football Federation's head.
Obviously, the sick body answered back at any attempt to inject some health: Hagi was destroyed as a man and a coach through the media hungry for any bad word that came out of Gigi Becali's big mouth, Munteanu was labelled as a match fixer, after his first experiences as a coach, while Popescu was humiliated by a dirty voting system, controlled by Sandu, the man who definitely deserves his nickname: "The Godfather".
What happened after the game versus Bosnia is hard to explain by anyone who has some common sense and can think beyond himself. After some harsh and, at times, undeserved criticism, lead by the other Becalis, Victor and "Giovani", Razvan Lucescu slapped everyone in the face with the surprising 3-0 win and resigned, agreeing immediately to take over Rapid, making no effort to make this look like a random series of events.
Mircea Lucescu's son had been planning this for a while, though, that's why he called FC Brasov's Cristian Oros for the first time to the national team. The centre-back was a 26 years old who is going to play for… Rapid next season. An accident? Steaua's Romeo Surdu (27) also earned a call-up and he will also switch teams this summer, going from Steaua to Lucescu's next club. But this was nothing. The real blow was Lucescu's refusal to go with the team he had selected and to the South American tournament he had asked for, one that included an extremely important game: Romania needed a win against Paraguay. Any other result would have relegated us to the fourth pot ahead of the draw for the qualifying groups to World Cup 2014, but nobody gave a damn. From the head of the Federation to the players that "love to play for the national team".
Mircea Sandu, the chief, Ionut Lupescu, the executive president, Razvan Lucescu, the quitter, plus "the stars" Adrian Mutu, Cristian Sapunaru, Gabriel Tamas and Razvan Rat, who didn't put the respect for the national team above their apetite for partying during the summer, simply refused to travel to South America! For us, Romanians, who watched in disbelief the 0-2 defeat against Paraguay, this shouldn't be remembered as the tournament that saw Ronaldo play his last game for Brazil. It should be the marked as the moment when all those who could have brought back to life the national team decided to pull the plug.
They should all go away, as simple as that. Because as long as they're still involved, we can be sure of one thing: we'll always be here, at home, watching the European Championships and the World Cups on tv. The good thing we're used to it by now, anyway…
Ianis Zicu: better late in Romania, than never in Italy
He was meant to be the next big thing. After Hagi, obviously, and following the recent on-the-pitch footsteps of Adrian Mutu. He was not, failing badly in Italy and looking completely lost after the return from Serie A, where he was too poor to play, to Liga I, where he thought that he was way too good. Well, at 27, he's the leading goalscorer, with 16 goals, and the man who keeps FC Timisoara in the title race. Still promising, right?
Born in Constanta, where Hagi, The King, had stepped into this world with his magical left foot, with the same ethnical roots (luckily, we don't have only gypsies over here), Zicu was immediately spotted by the same guys that stood beside Gica in his playing career: the Becali brothers.
Ioan "Giovani" Becali had moved Adrian Mutu to Italy, back in 2000, convincing Massimo Moratti to invest heavily in a forward that was a goalscoring machine for Dinamo – the opposition was usually very kind with the Red Dogs' forwards back then, as always! – and had enough influence to present Zicu to Inter's owner at a very young age and with no real background.
In 2003, Ianis went to Milano, but left the impression that he was there to protect his valuable ankles, an attitude he simply failed to shake-off since then, no matter the name of his club, the importance of a game or the fans' abuse, who, after his latest return to Dinamo, turned against the talented attacking midfielder.
Zicu looked again like a football player only at his third consecutive loan spell, in Rapid's shirt, but Dinamo was the club he signed for in 2007, after Inter lost enough money and an incredible amount of patience. Three years of torment followed and he fell completely out of favor with Dinamo's dismayed fans, who had every reason, at that time, to ask for a change of approach. He went asking for a move away and Timisoara (who's a bitter rival, in the stands, but a good partner when it comes to transfers) stepped up and invested half of million euros, winning the race for his signature with Rapid.
Money very well spent by the Viola, who are now leading the standings, with eight rounds to go, and have in Zicu the player that makes the difference. With 16 goals in 21 appearances, he's the best goalscorer in a league that was at risk to award the golden boot award to Bogdan Stancu, the striker who left to Galatasaray in the winter break. He is also responsible for Timisoara's fantastic ability to come from behind: Dusan Uhrin's men have done it an amazing 15 times this season and are currently undefeated, after 26 matches, with 13 wins and 13 draws in their account.
What's interesting and also quite hard to explain is that Zicu's attitude on the pitch hasn't changed. He's the same creative player looking for the fancy touch and desperate to avoid contact, plays in the same favorite role, on the left side of the attack, with absolutely no interest to help in defense, and for a team that feels the pressure to deliver results, given the fantastic support this club has when playing at home. Not to mention that, on a personal level, he's not doing great either, losing his beloved mother two months ago, a moment that he wants to remind after each goal scored.
Nobody, really, saw this coming. A player who was only used to whine is now showing the properties of a good wine. But maybe this is where Zicu lived up to the initial expectations: he's the sort of footballer able to surprise you, after all…
Stancu makes an instant impact in Turkey, but the media talks about something else…
incredible amusing story was brought to my attention this morning via Twitter (you can find me there as rbaicu!) by a friend, who says that there's a lot of talk in Turkey on a topic launched by a press agency. Apparently, Stancu had been offered on loan last summer, in exchange of 300.000 Euros, to a second division club.
Now, I've tried to Google-translate it, but that didn't help much, so I can't say who were the sources and how was the "story" created. What I can say is that it's rubbish, as we're talking about one of the hottest prospects in Romanian football, who was a key player at Steaua at that point, with a good record, no conflicts with the board or the staff & a decent salary. Why would Steaua let him go? His wage wasn't a problem, the 300 k wouldn't have made a difference, the destination had no chance to improve the player's market value (Steaua was going to play in Europe in autumn) and didn't involve a very tempting buying clause, at the end of the loan spell.
Does the article imply that Galatasaray paid too much for Stancu? Probably. Is this a topic that could hurt Hagi? Probably – it will happen every time a signing from Romania will play a poor game. The problem is that this story lacks both timing (Stancu plays well and scores goals) and that minimum amount of truth or credibility. Not that it's my problem, though, it's something that the Turkish fans are served probably very often. It just explains to me (and others?) why Hagi hits back at the media every once in a while, like he did in a press conference from January, when I was surprised with his frustration and was expecting to hear a different tone…

Everyone has their own favorite players in the 2012 Draft. The Chiefs roster looks pretty good. At every position we have a player that most of us would feel comfortable starting week 1. But there are still openings on the final 53 man roster at several positions. I took a look back at Steve_Chiefs excellent post Numbers to get a better idea of what positions need to be filled via the Draft or as a stopgap—the second round of free agency.
Week 1 Starting Potential:
Offensive Line
1. Branden Albert 1. Jon Asamoah
2. Eric Winston 2. Rodney Hudson
3. (David Mims)* 3. Ryan Lilja
4. ???
*Italics and parenthesis indicate a roster spot up for grabs
As much as we'd all love to see David Mims own the swing tackle position, in 2012 it's just not that realistic. We need someone who can step up and play left tackle in place of Albert in Denver in week 17 with the playoffs on the line. Everything I've read would indicate that in that scenario, Winston would stay put at RT, but I'm not certain. Does it make sense to replace David Mims with a tackle that has a lower ceiling but higher floor? Let's look at an alternative.
In years past we had Brian Waters slide over from LG to LT with very little drop off. Could the Chiefs trade back for a more versatile, tackle playing guard like Georgia's Cordy Glenn, Iowa State's Kelechi Osemele or even a falling Riley Reiff instead of taking Stanford's David DeCastro.
Doing so would improve the line by replacing Lilja and would buy Mims a little more time to develop into the legitimate NFL tackle his size and athleticism hint at.
The interior line (LG, C, RG) only gets one backup between them, but would still be okay since Asamoah has the ability to cover the Center position in the event of an injury to Rodney Hudson and then the backup (Ryan Lilja) steps in to cover Asamoah's spot.
Strong Inside Linebacker
1. Jovan Belcher
2. (Brandon Siler)
This position is sort of an all or nothing propostion. Unless they think Luke Kuechly is such a good prospect they can't pass him up, I could see the remainder of the acquisitions for SILB being late round development projects or UDFAs.
1. (Shane Bannon)
I'm curious why Le'Ron McClain was allowed to walk. Regardless, Owen Schmidtt is available as a free agent, Peyton Hillis could see significant time lined up as a fullback this year and there are always a few good prospects available late in the draft. There is also a small possibility that they let Bannon keep this job.
Urgent Needs: Significant week 1 contributor not on roster
1. Eric Berry
4. Donald Washington
5. ???
Mike McCarthy played primarily on special teams in Denver. I think his roster spot is moderately safe. Bringing him in on a 1-year deal looks very much like a tryout to see if he can permanently replace Jon McGraw. Donald Washington started a few games last year in because of the injury shuffle. To my eye he appeared to improve as the year went on (whereas Sabby Piscatelli did not). With razor-thing depth and Romeo's affinity for cover-3 looks, the Chiefs need at least one more safety—badly.
Unfortunately this is a piss poor year for safeties in the Draft. After Mark Barron, many of the best safety prospects are actually cornerbacks. Which is why I think that Donald Washington's roster spot is safe for another year. I've heard rumors that Jalil Brown (6'1" 205) could see some action at safety as well. If there was ever a place for Pioli to use his black magic Draft spells to find another Kendrick Lewis. This would be the spot.
Tight End
1. Tony Moeaki
2. Kevin Boss
3. (Jake O'Connell)
4. (Steve Maneri)
Players experiencing an ACL tear come back with a reduced ability to make sharp cuts. This may drastically reduce Moeaki's effectiveness on the field. Jake O'Connell is a 7th round pick with 12 career catches who never went away. and Steve Maneri is a former offensive tackle whose primary talent is run blocking. With both Boss and Moeaki having a history of injuries, bringing in a #3 TE with actual talent seems wise. This could come as early as Round 2 if Clemson's Dwayne Allen is still available.
Serious Depth Needs: No suitable Week 1 backup on roster
Running Back
4. (Shaun Draughn)
Depending on how the Chiefs choose to classify Dexter McCluster, I could see carrying 3 or 4 running backs on the 53 man roster. Shaun Draughn will likely not be one of them. He's a neither a speed back, nor a power back. Or an anything else back either for that matter. However this is a good year for drafting running backs. After Trent Richardson, there are several promising prospects with 2nd round talent. I could see the Chiefs waiting to see if any of them slide into the 3rd.
Nose Tackle
1. Jerrell Powe
2. ???
These are big players but this isn't a terribly big hole. In years past Pioli has been very picky about selecting NTs. Unless he really likes a player like Josh Chapman, I think it's more likely we pursue a 0-tech in free agency, either by signing Romeo's old pal Shaun Rogers (who thought he had a Super Bowl shot last year) or re-signing Kelly Gregg. In either scenario I'd imagine we'll see a lot more of Jerrell Powe than we did year.
Other unfilled 53 man roster positions:
Defensive End
2. Glenn Dorsey
3. Amon Gordon
4. Allen Bailey
5. Brandon Bair
6. ???
I think every player on this list is safe. The run stuffers, then pass rushers and the development project all have a place on the 53. Last year we did carry six defensive ends. This looks like the most fluid position, the final roster spot could be filled with a first rounder, a seventh rounder or by re-signing Wallace Gilberry.
Wide Receiver
1. Dwayne Bowe
5. (Jeremy Horne)
6. (Jamar Newsome)
I'm assuming that Dex gets listed at running back, which would reduce the number of wide outs to six. I could see the Pioli drafting a late-round boom-or-bust type player and a special teams ace. Keep in mind, there will be interesting options available after the inevitable post-draft veteran cuts as well as final roster cut downs.
2013 Free Agents:
Dwayne Bowe: I'm assuming they get a deal done
Branden Albert: I think the deal gets done in-season
Glenn Dorsey: Most likely gone
Peyton Hillis
Jovan Belcher
Ryan Lilja
Dustin Colquitt: anyone ever franchise tag a punter?

Manufacturing growth slows in NovemberMonday 02 December 2013 14.17
Growth in the Irish manufacturing sector slowed for the first time in seven months in November as the expansion in new orders and output weakened.
The latest Investec Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 52.4 in November from 54.9 in October. Any figure above 50 signals growth, while a figure below 50 signals contraction.
November was the sixth successive month of expansion following a three-month dip to the end of May.
"While most components, when benchmarked against the buoyant October outturn, point to a slower pace of expansion in November, the underlying narrative remains intact," Investec Ireland's chief economist Philip O'Sullivan said.
"The manufacturing sector in Ireland continues to grow, and we see this trend extending in 2014 on the back of an improving international and domestic economic backdrop," he added,
While the pace of new export orders fell to 54.1 from 56.6, five of every six respondents either increased or maintained their level of new export orders, mainly on the back of gains in the US and UK markets.

Reading with Oprah: The Book Club that Changed America
by Kathleen Rooney
by Kathleen Rooney
Adored by its fans, deplored by its critics, the Oprah Book Club has been at the center of arguments about cultural authority and literary taste since its inception in 1996. Virtually everyone seems to have an opinion about this monumental institution with its revolutionary and controversial fusion of the literary, the televisual, and the commercial. "Reading with Oprah" by Kathleen Rooney is the first in-depth look at the phenomenon that is the OBC. Rooney combines extensive research with a lively personal voice and engaging narrative style to untangle the myths and presuppositions surrounding the club, to reveal its complex and far-reaching cultural influence, confronting head-on how the club became a crucible for the heated clash between "high" and "low" literary taste.

- Added author bylines on Articles in the cover
- Added indicator if articles or features are from another SB Nation site when placed on the homepage
- Added article headline to comments on user profile recent activity list for better reply context

- Fixed issue with filters not working on FanShot index page
- Fixed Facebook login issues
- Improved visibility of next and previous arrows on photo galleries
- Added correct author names to the FanPosts page
- Mobile optimization improvements
Hopefully some of these resolve some of the issues you have been having. I also know that the colors - specifically the orange - are not quite right and I continue to work on that.
Can we stop the weekly posts on whether or not you should stay or go? I respect your feelings and I truly appreciate the passion many of you have for MHR. NO ONE has more passion than me. Many of the updates above are a direct result of your feedback and you should be commended. But let's not lose sight of what MHR is about. It's about all of US! Together. BRONCOS COUNTRY!
To me, the Denver Broncos will always be the orange and blue of my youth. The 'D' on the helmet. When the team changed EVERYTHING in 1997 I was not a fan - not even close. Did I 'leave' Broncos Country? Of course not! I mean, the team CHANGED COLORS! They went from the 'soft' blue to a dark navy and nearly removed orange from the color palette completely. That was a much bigger change than anything we have done here! The stadium is still sold out. You all went and bought new jerseys and hats. YOU ADAPTED TO IT!
Change is hard. Instead of fighting it, however, suggest improvements and get back to what makes MHR great! Our combined voices talking about the Denver Broncos! The best fans in sports talking about our favorite team.
Get back in the Fan Posts and start talking about the Broncos. Get back in the Comments and start talking about the Broncos. Do what you do! It's not the house, it's the people inside!
If you choose to leave, I get it. My 'real' job is within an engineering firm and engineers are as 'Type-A' as they come. There is no need, however, to try and garner support for your move. Just go.
If you want to be part of the solution, send your suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com. They are listening, as the list above should demonstrate. You can keep track of all the platform updates HERE. If you need to vent, vent TO ME - firstname.lastname@example.com. Leave Kirk and the rest of the staff alone. Let them focus on content.
Again, I know the change was drastic but the core of MHR has NOT CHANGED. It is still about YOU. Let's direct all this energy towards the Broncos and what is quickly becoming a MAGICAL season!
Comments are closed in this post to avoid it becoming another flame thread. Make the best decision you can for YOU! I hope you hang around. Either way, GO BRONCOS!

Brandon's Window 11/24/12 Autistic, Brandon Says " I Can't Wait to See Those Presents" Discussion
4 years and 7 months after reversing, curing, and healing his symptoms of autism naturally, Brandon says " I Can't Wait to See My Presents". Each year Brandon picks the place he wants to have his Birthday and gives us his wish list of what he wants his presents to be. This year for his 10th Birthday Brandon chose Legoland as the Place and for his presents he asked for a new computer, a DVD Player, an Innotab2 and a Stuffie. He has alread received his Stuffie and Innotab2 earlier that week in the mail so now he anticipates and can't wait for the computer (Kindle Fire) and DVD Player. Brandon knows if he works hard in school and at home his wish list for birthday and Christmas will be fulfilled. We are in the car explaining to Brandon as to how many computer and DVD player he will be receiving. Then off to LEGOLAND! 4 1/2 years ago it was stressful to take Brandon anywhere, he could not sit still for no more than a few seconds, Brandon was non-verbal and cried uncontrollably all the time. For the first 5 years he was not aware of his birthdays/presents etc. Now Brandon is calm in the car and calm in public places that we don't even need to hold his hand anymore. For more information go to www.brandonswindow.com and get direct links to over 370 videos documenting my grandson Brandon's AMAZING JOURNEY of REVERSING, CURING, and HEALING his SYMPTOMS of AUTISM USING NATURAL TREATMENTS. (Other families can do this too! Our plight is to help others!!)

Thanks to a partnership with Rock Valley College, Woodward Inc., and Rockford Public Schools, 12 students will take part in a manufacturing training program this summer.
Eleven of the students are recent District 205 graduates and will take part in the CNC (computer numerical control) manufacturing training. The twelfth student has been hired as a part-time employee at Woodward and will take full-time classes at Rock Valley College through its GEM program.
The program runs through August 8 and students qualified by taking the Work Keys test. About 100 people asked to be interviewed, and that number was whittled down to 25 who received second-round interviews in May.
Tuition, books, and other fees are taken care of through a grant obtained by RVC. Students who complete the program will earn two National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certificates and will be able to interview for one of six full-time jobs Woodward has set aside for the program. They will also be eligible for employment around the nation as entry-level CNC operators.
