The Argentina international winger has been heavily linked with a move to old Trafford in the past few weeks as Louis van Gaal looks to add quality to his squad.
He helped the Albiceleste reach the finals during this year's edition of the World Cup, while playing a key role in the Los Blancos Champions League-winning campaign.
"Di Maria asked to go in the summer and has rejected an offer from the club, The player has to look for a solution," said the 55-year-old Italian mentor.
However, Ancelloti pointed out that should a deal fail to materialise after period to move player closes, the former Benfica man will need to respect his contract with the Spanish giants.
"If when the transfer market closes he's still here, he will work with us like last season and there will be no problem,"he added.

Samuel Wells Releases Booklet on Life's Toughest Questions
Anaheim, CA
Samuel Wells read the first to the fourth chapters of Genesis and had many questions. He wondered to himself, "Is there another side to this story?" He wrote down 94 questions before he began writing his booklet, If Eve Had Said No.
The booklet was based on one of the most important questions that came to mind as Samuel read the story of Creation: "What if Eve had said 'no' to Satan?"
This booklet is Samuel's answers to the tough questions asked about the story of Creation, such as "What should we think of Eve and her part in the fall? Why are there so many religions and different beliefs? What does this life mean? How does the Bible tell the story of the world from beginning to end? What is the true Church in the New Testament? Why did Christ die? Why do people put "dufus" ideas on God?"
The booklet also includes a Plan of Salvation chart: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1177666639/if-eve-had-said-no.
Mr. Wells is a Bible student who has spent a great deal of time studying the Scripture. He has attempted to answer many of the questions that have continued to puzzle Bible students for thousands of years. His look at the plan of Salvation and its relationship to the story of Creation will provide students of the Bible with answers to difficult puzzles.
For those who are seeking answers to the meaning of life and the true plan of salvation, this booklet offers hope. Available at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1177666639/if-eve-had-said-no or at his website http://www.ifevehadsaidno.com. The booklet is nine chapters long.
For $18, customers can purchase the booklet as well as the rights to make copies for distribution in Sunday School classes, among prayer groups or to others as part of a witnessing campaign. The purchase price also includes the booklet Save $thousands$ on Cars, a candid look at how to save money on cars and repairs.

SBD/26/Leagues Governing Bodies
Published October 26, 1994
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman met yesterday with officials of the NHL Officials' Association and their representative, Don Meehan, to discuss whether the language on the collective bargaining agreement agreed upon by both sides last year is official. In particular, the officials are threatening a lawsuit if the league stops paying refs and linesmen during the lockout. "The meeting dragged into the evening with no immediate word of progress, but it appears the dispute will not be resolved quickly." The contract says the league is obligated to pay officials for 45 days from the beginning of a players' strike, but sources say the deal makes no mention of a lockout. "However, Bettman is arguing that the new contract was never signed by either side, and thus the league is not under any obligation to pay." One official: "What we've done is sat here and kept our mouths shut and hoped things took care of themselves. But now (the league) is just trying to use the language of the contract against us" (David Shoalts, Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 10/26). Despite the pay controversy, Meehan emerged calling the meeting "very positive." Meehan said the league will respond to the NHLOA's submission by 5pm EDT today (Steve Buffrey, TORONTO SUN, 10/26). Meehan's submission is thought to ask for an extension of the November 15 cut-off date for payment to the officials (Frank Orr, TORONTO STAR, 10/26). CNN's Fred Hickman, on the officials' concerns: "I guess they like to eat" ("Sports Tonight," CNN, 10/25).

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Hasselbeck says Cardinals are best fit for Manning
Peyton Manning is still an Indianapolis Colt, but one ESPN analyst thinks he should be an Arizona Cardinal next season.
Tim Hasselbeck, who was on the Cardinals' roster in 2007, said coach Ken Whisenhunt has shown a willingness to adjust his system to fit a star QB before.
"It's what the Cardinals did with Kurt Warner," he told ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike. "Ken Whisenhunt had no problem doing things differently for Kurt than he was doing for Ben Roethlisberger when he was the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh."
Indeed, while many thought Whisenhunt would bring a smash- mouth style of football to the desert, the truth is he has been far more apt to watch his QBs sling the ball all over the field rather than simply handing it off.
That's how a player like Warner was able to resuscitate his career and the Cardinals were able to win a pair of NFC West titles and reach the Super Bowl.
But, besides the fact that Manning has yet to hit the open market, one thing that may prevent the Cardinals from going after the QB is the fact that they gave another signal caller big money just last offseason.
Hasselbeck said that shouldn't be an issue.
"I understand you made moves to go get Kevin Kolb, but you may see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to get Peyton Manning," he said.
It would be, but so far the opportunity has yet to present itself. If and when it does, we'll see if the Cardinals are ready and willing to go after one of the best QBs the NFL has ever seen.

The report makes it sound like a mystery! There was a construction 'mishap' and the 'small hole' grew larger.
Seems likely that either someone was given incorrect instructions or they hit some sort of void under the roadway.
It would be nice to actually be told what made the 'small hole' grow to be 12 feet in diameter.
Maybe SLAC was testing an anti-matter beam! :-)

Servo-controlled feed rate control device for CNC electric spark machines
Image Number 5 for
United States Patent #5310983
A feed rate control device for controlling the feeding operation of the electrode of a computerized numerical control type electric spark machine is equipped with an amplitude limiter, a regulator, and a proportional-plus-integral compensator. The amplitude limiter is capable of automatically limiting the amplitude of the input signal according to the moving situation of the electrode of the electric spark machine. By using of the amplitude limiter, the sensitivity of the system may be limited to a suitable level and therefore the stability of the whole system is increased. The proportional-plus-integral compensator is used to compensate the steady state error caused by improper low resolution when the output signal of the amplitude limiter is below an preliminary level. The regulator is used for facilitating the adjustment of the sensitivity of the system according to user's practical experiences.

Bee-u-ti-ful! Sorry couldn't resist.
This is lovely! The black cuff really sets off the components…dramatic!
I asked Becky and she said that to just use a pair of cutters (suitable for the gauge) to snip off the extra length on the screw.
Wow! What a gorgeous piece!
Love this one
Awesome! The leaf and bee components are so striking. Arranged this way, they're really dramatic.
Love cuffs + gold black and bees. All components push my buttons
This is bee-utiful! Can you use rivets instead of the screws?
Where can I purchase the Wide Black Leather Cuff? Thx, love the design !!!

A convertible shark cage may be a complete oxymoron, but Volkswagen and partners have built one for Discovery Channel's upcoming Shark Week. More than just a stationary exhibit, the shark cage is a functioning watercraft with impressive capabilities. Gizmag talked to Luke Tipple, the marine biologist, shark diving expert and TV personality responsible for building and driving the craft, to find out more about what it's like to scooter around shark-infested waters in a skeletal Beetle ragtop.

While the pursuit to develop flying cars and Star Warsian land-speeders rages on, the dilemma around developing a functioning underwater vehicle was solved decades ago … by the British Secret Service's Q Branch. In the film The Spy Who Loved Me, James Bond escapes from the obligatory horde of bad guys by driving one very versatile white Lotus Esprit into the ocean. That fully submersible vehicle, is now set to go to auction this September. Read More
Recreational amphibious vehicles are nothing new, but most are one-offs, and most tend to be boats that can creep on land, or cars that slosh slowly through water. There are exceptions, notably entries from Gibbs, but arguably, amphibious vehicles have not made the grade as true all-round vehicles that can be driven to work during the week, and on the lake on weekends. WaterCar's new Panther straddles the divide. Read More
Upgraded Alvin submersible sets sail
You would think that a little sub built almost 50 years ago would be sitting in a museum somewhere, but Deep Submergence Vehicle (DSV) Alvin, which launched in 1964, is still going strong. Owned by the US Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Alvin has completed a major US$41 million redesign and refit. The revamped submersible set sail on Saturday aboard its mothership R/V Atlantis for certification testing off the coast of Oregon and California. Read More
"Imagine opening a hatch in a submarine under water. The water will flow into the submarine with enormous force. It is precisely this energy potential we want to utilize." This is how German engineer Rainer Schramm describes his idea for storing energy under the sea. By using surplus energy to pump water out of a tank at the seabed, the water is simply let back in again when there's an energy shortfall, driving turbines as it rushes in. The deeper the tank, the more power is generated. Read More

Kymera powered body board set to make crowdfunding splash
When we last checked in with Jason Woods, he'd electrified his Kymera powered body board and was aiming for a 2013 release and US$5,000 retail price. To finally get the Kymera in the hands – or under the bodies – of consumers, Woods has now decided to go the crowdfunding route. The good news is that, if the campaign proves successful, supporters should be able to enjoy their boards this year, and for as little as $2,500. Read More
Cigarette Racing and AMG turn out 42-feet of comfort and speed
Cigarette Racing and AMG have collaborated on the newest version of the Huntress performance boat, which was officially unveiled this week at the Miami International Boat Show. A little more roomy than classic go-fast boats, the 42-foot Huntress is ten feet high, has an 11-foot, 9-inch beam and a cabin below decks providing luxury accommodation for two. Oh, yes – it also comes with a 500 gallon fuel tank and five Mercury Racing outboards that can push it up to 78 mph (125 km/h or 68 knots). Read More
Every year between November and January, endangered North Atlantic right whales are thought to use an area off the coast of Maine known as the Outer Fall as a breeding ground. They are "thought to" because the ocean conditions at that time of year can make it difficult to locate them. Two autonomous marine robots called gliders have now been used as a real time whale-detection system for researchers and to warn boats in the area to slow down to avoid striking the marine mammals.

"Staley's gritty and gripping story brings to life the kind of dilemmas today's kids can face on a daily basis. He also provides important lessons for how martial arts training can become a touchstone in finding our way through life. Bullying is a dirty blight in our society, and Luke's story doesn't shy away from the threats they pose to boys and girls, and the adults in their lives. I enjoyed reading the martial arts action scenes, which are believably intense. As founder of the To-Shin Do martial art, based on Japan's historical ninja defensive combat principles and techniques, I am personally excited to see A Warrior's Soul illuminate the impact of modern-day bullying, martial arts, and personal growth."

Judge rejects bid for new trial in Danziger Bridge case
Updated On: Dec 04 2012 03:53:54 PM CST
A federal judge has rejected defense attorneys' claims that a video shot at the scene of deadly shootings on a New Orleans bridge after Hurricane Katrina reveals new evidence warranting a new trial for five former police officers.
In his ruling Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt said the footage shot of the Danziger Bridge by a CBS affiliate in Miami is "far from determinative" that a government witness lied during the officers' trial.
Defense attorneys argued the video refutes testimony that Sgt. Kenneth Bowen kicked shell casings off the walkway before crime scene technicians could process the scene.
Engelhardt hasn't ruled on a separate request for a new trial based on claims that prosecutors engaged in a "secret public relations campaign" that inflamed public opinion against the officers.

Biologists Gloria Culver at Rochester and Keith Connolly, now at Harvard University, thought one key to stopping the bacteria may lie with proteins, so they studied the mechanism behind the development of bacterial ribosomes—the cell's protein-manufacturing machine.
"We targeted the ribosomes in our research because cells and organisms can't live if they don't make proteins, and they can't make proteins if their ribosomes aren't functioning properly." said Culver.
Culver and Connolly specifically worked with cultures of E. coli, a bacteria commonly found in the intestines. While E. coli is usually harmless, some strains are resistant to antibiotics and can cause serious food poisoning.
They discovered that two proteins already present in E. coli cells—RbfA and KsgA—need to be in balance with each other in order for ribosomes to function. If those proteins are present in the wrong concentrations, the ribosomes will not mature properly and will be unable to produce proteins, leading to the death of the cells. Their findings are being published this week in the journal Molecular Microbiology.
Culver said with the discovery that KsgA and RbfA.must be balanced for the cells to function properly, the next goal is to determine an effective way to disrupt that balance.
Crucially, RbfA does not exist in humans. "That may make it possible," Culver said," to kill E. coli without having a harmful effect on people."
Eric Brown, a professor of biochemistry and biomedical sciences at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., calls their work creative and scholarly. "Ribosome assembly represents a rich target for much needed antibacterial drugs to treat drug-resistant infections," said Brown, "and this work offers new and important insights into the process."
Culver explained the role the proteins play in ribosome maturation. A healthy ribosome is made up of two compartments—or subunits—that must come together only when each one is mature. An overabundance of RbfA hurries the process along, which could result in an ineffective structure. The job of the KsgA is to bind with the smaller of the compartments, preventing the formation of the ribosome until both parts are ready.
Culver says RbfA and KsgA belong to "the chicken or the egg" category of microbiology. While they're essential to the development of ribosomes, the ribosomes themselves are needed to create proteins, including the RbfA and KsgA. She calls it an ongoing and intriguing question for biologists.

Thanks, I'll check them out.
Nov 20, 2014BobB in Greater Boston Area
They're my favorites, only available around here from about November to January. Star has carried them for years, but no longer does. Any sightings elsewhere?
Nov 20, 2014BobB in Greater Boston Area
I was looking for the syrup, but now I'm curious about the grain too. Googling says it can be popped like popcorn - interesting!
Nov 19, 2014BobB in Greater Boston Area
Samsung Range: Induction stove and Flex-Duo Oven - Your Pros/Cons Please!
Not an issue on the GE. The only power limitation is that if you set the largest hob to its highest setting (I believe it's 3700W), it has a ten-minute limit, then drops down one notch to level 9, and during that ten minutes you can't use the smallest hob, behind it. Hasn't been a real problem.
Your problem may be that your stove is on a 110V line - the GE requires 220V (which fortunately I had already for my old flat-top electric).
Yup. Never rinse chicken, it's counterproductive.
Gaujillo (New Mex) Chili powder problem
Two aspects to this: one is that chili powders, even those named for a specific chili, are generally blends of spices, so the flavor profile will be different than the recipe intended. Not necessarily bad, but different.
The other is the quantity. Guajillos are largish peppers, so I'd go with about two tablespoons of powder per dried pepper. Maybe start with a bit less and taste the stew as it cooks, adding more if it seems called for.
Which roast veg to pair with braised lamb ragu+pappardelle?
I'll second that. Or possibly green beans roasted with carrots for additional color. I'm big on visual appeal.
I'm curious to try this, but haven't been able to find it in my local markets (Star & Whole Foods). Anybody seen it around town?
Nov 19, 2014BobB in Greater Boston Area
It's a matter of taste, but I'd go with making a large batch of your preferred gravy, then putting some in a separate pot and thickening it with beurre manie. Only takes a few minutes to thicken and cook the flour. Same (almost) flavor, everybody's happy.

World's best whisky (from Japan)
I'm not saying it's not great whiskey, I'm sure it is. What I'm saying is that it's presumptuous to say that this - or, for that matter, any other whiskey - is THE BEST IN THE WORLD, PERIOD. That, my friend, is a matter of taste and opinion.
World's best whisky (from Japan)
And if I like something , and they don't, that means it's inferior? Silly is a tame word for this.
It's not the shape, it's the butter.
Nov 09, 2014BobB in General Topics
World's best whisky (from Japan)
It's a silly concept, because it assumes that everyone likes the same flavors in their whisk(e)y. Tastes vary widely. Me, I'm a Highland Park man.
Yes, I've had it in Greece, where it comes from the island of Chios (great place to visit, by the way).
I buy exclusively Kerrygold butter, which comes in 1/2 lb bricks, a common European format. I found a French butter dish that holds a block nicely, and it fits perfectly in the butter compartment on the door of my fairly basic Whirlpool fridge.
I actually had that, sort of. I worked internationally for many years (over two million miles lifetime on American Airlines) and had local colleagues and clients everywhere who'd take me to the most interesting places to eat - and yes, at times they'd give me little lessons in local eating culture. I feel very lucky to have had that.
After my disappointment with Benton's I switched to mail-ordering Nueske's, super smoky and not crazy salty.
Let's talk about the accuracy of thermometers.
If you're at or near sea level, you could try sticking it into boiling water and seeing how close it reads to 212°F.
best (non corned beef) brisket recipe
I've done a 4 lb brisket in a pressure cooker and yes, about an hour, followed by natural steam release.
Nov 04, 2014BobB in Home Cooking
I get there regularly and love it, though they made one change a few years ago that still bugs me: most of the entrees used to come with a small side salad included in the price. A few years back they decided to charge separately for the salad, but (presumably to justify that) they increased the size to the point where now I only order one if I'm with someone willing to share it. It's easily enough for two.
Nov 04, 2014BobB in Greater Boston Area
"way too much garlic, oil, and salt"
Yeah, that was my experience too, when I had their spaghetti with clam sauce. I love that dish, and have rarely found it in the US served without a ridiculous amount of garlic, completely overwhelming the clam flavor.
Reminds me of a quote from a Globe interview with Marcella Hazan when she was in Boston a few years back:
Q. What is the biggest mistake we [Americans] still make in cooking Italian food?
A. Too much garlic! Too much ruins everything. We say in Italy that what you keep out is as important as what you put in.
Nov 04, 2014BobB in Greater Boston Area
There hasn't been a really top quality full-line Jewish deli in Brookline since the B&D went under a decade or so ago. Michael's (diagonally across Beacon St from Zaftig's) makes some excellent corned beef and pastrami, but otherwise has a very limited menu, as well as minimal seating.
Nov 04, 2014BobB in Greater Boston Area
Is this what you're talking about?
Let's talk about the accuracy of thermometers.
"I ...want to give a good recommendation for a thermometer that doesn't cost upwards of $250."
Thermapen. Factory tested to accuracy within less than one degree, and recalibratable if you ever need to. And it costs about $95, often less on sale.
Why did Julia Child use electric burners?
She was a serious copper cookware devotee, so that's understandable (if true).
Indeed it is, and seemingly randomly. Techs, would you like us to report which threads it happens on so you can try to trace the cause?
What's the difference between adding sour cream vs cream cheese in a recipe?
Just Visiting is quite correct on the differences, and having looked at the recipe, my guess is that if you substituted cream cheese for sour cream, A) the sauce mixture would be much more difficult to mix (if not impossible), and B) the resulting mac & cheese would be much drier, blander, and not nearly as creamy. Use the sour cream.

Venison Stroganoff using stew meat
Me, I'd do noodles, but that's just my preference.
Oct 30, 2014BobB in Home Cooking
Venison Stroganoff using stew meat
I agree, classic Stroganoff uses tender steak cooked very briefly. If you did that to stew meat it would be inedibly tough. I vote for goulash.
Oct 30, 2014BobB in Home Cooking
Melinda's makes a Bhut Jholokia sauce that is quite respectably hot but also has plenty of flavor. Also good and just slightly below that in heat is their XXXXtra Hot Reserve habañero sauce.
I've used Dave's Insanity, but it has no real flavor, just a truly ridiculous amount of capsaicin.

nordsjunkie - Review from Nordstrom
Classic pumpModest but not matronly shoe. I was looking for shoes that were appropriate for the office. The heel was the perfect height compared to all my sky high heels.
SJCgreen - Review from Nordstrom
Great Shoe - but too smallI was excited about this shoe and because I have not purchased a Manolo Blahnik shoe before, I ordered an 11 and 11.5 ( I wear a 10.5 to 11 usually). The 11 was too small. The 11.5 seemed that it would work. The shoe is beautiful, however the strap across the top of the foot was a bit tight over my right foot. I tried to wear it for an hour or so but it did not get any better. I am now waiting to see if the 12 fits any better. If you know your size in MB's, I would say this is a classic shoe that you are sure to wear for years. I give it only 3 stars as the sizing is quite "off" compared to American standards (if there is, indeed, one!)
xoballet - Review from Nordstrom
The Ultimate MaryJaneGorgeous shoe, impeccably well-made and amazingly comfortable. I had to go up a full shoe size (not a 1/2 size, as others have noted). I'm nearly always in a size 8, but am slightly wide across the ball of my foot. I had to exchange the 8 1/2 for a 9, which fits perfectly. I'm so happy with this purchase, I may order the other available color and wish there were more to select from.
Zabette - Review from Nordstrom
The Best!I have these shoes in both colors. I can tell you that I get compliments ALL THE TIME from men and women. They are stylish, they are comfortable, they are extremely well made, they are great for the conservative job that I have. They are my 'go to' shoes for everyday. My feet never hurt, and I travel every week. I may need to purchase a back up pair or two :)
PDDS - Review from Nordstrom
classy and sexyvery sweet looking shoe. Doesn't go with with full length pants because of the strap. So I'm excited to wear them with my skinny jeans or dresses. Haven't worn for out yet so no comment on comfort. But they fit perfectly.
There are no reviews for this brand. Be the first!

The kid I sit next to in school always is talking, but he NEVER gets in trouble for it. I don't talk that much in school, but when I do, I get this big lecture on how I talk way too much in class. When I try to convince the teacher that it really is the other boy and I don't talk that much, she doesn't believe me. What do I do?
Ugh, that is so annoying. I have totally been in that place before and it can be SO frustrating! The good news is that there is definitely a way to show your teacher that you're a good student who wants to learn and concentrate in class.
Even though he's not getting in trouble for it, it sounds like your deskmate may be a bad influence when it comes to you chatting more than usual in class. Next time he speaks to you while the teacher is talking, put your fingers over your lips to make the "quiet" signal. If he asks what's up, tell him after class that you're worried about getting lectured again. He'll understand once you explain your reasons.
While it's not fair that the real chatty Charlie isn't being lectured, it's not UNfair that you're being called out by the teacher for your chit chat, either. So how do you avoid another lecture? Make it a goal to not talk in class for an entire day. If you can do it (and I know you can!) try to do it again the next day, and then the next day after that. I'm sure Teach will notice, and you'll be on your way to fixing this prob.
It's so much easier to do well in school when you can focus—and that makes it more fun, too, because you're getting good grades and feeling confident! Sometimes it's hard to stay silent and pay attention (especially on days when you're not feeling well, or because there's a new cutie in class!). Focusing during school hours will help you complete your homework faster, too—which makes more time for fun after that last bell rings! So stay quiet and listen up. It'll pay off...promise!

Clay Paky Celebrates The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary
The Rolling Stones have wrapped the U.S. leg of their 50 and Counting world tour with Clay Paky lighting fixtures along for the still-wild ride.
The Stones sell-out 50th anniversary tour is their first in six years. They opened the U.S. leg May 3 in LA and concluded their 18 dates June 24 in Washington, D.C. The legendary band performed on a stage set featuring a giant set of psychedelic lips and a tongue-shaped walkway that riffed on their iconic logo. Upstaging supplied the lighting equipment for the tour.
Lighting Designer Patrick Woodroffe chose Clay Paky Alpha Wash 1500s for the gigs. Co-Lighting Director Ethan Weber comments, "They're a very impressive, bright, good-looking light."
They also scattered a complement of Clay Paky Sharpy fixtures around the trusses. "You see Sharpys on every show now," Weber points out. "It's a turnaround from a few years ago when we were all using large format lights as our 3rd source. They add a nice texture to most any look."
Weber and Programmer/Co-Lighting Director Dave Hill manned two grandMA2 full-size consoles, networked together, for the tour. "We love them, " says Weber. "I handled the key lighting on one console and Dave ran the bulk of the system off the other." Both men are veteran Stones lighting directors with Hill having programmed every tour since Steel Wheels. And both are veteran MA users.
Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky Area Manager for North and Latin America, adds, "It's great to be part of such a high profile tour and we're proud that the lighting team for the Rolling Stones have chosen two our fixtures for it."

JOHOR BARU: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wants Barisan Nasional component parties to pull their weight in the coming general election and not just rely on Umno's support.
He said everyone should go down to the ground to meet the voters.
He also reminded Umno members to support any candidate chosen by the Prime Minister to stand on a Barisan ticket.
"Do not question the candidate chosen by the party president (and) the candidate chosen by the component partes," he said when opening the Gelang Patah Umno division meeting here.
He outlined three strategies Umno must adopt in the general election. They are ensuing continued unity at divisional levels, improving relationship between Umno and component parties and resolving issues faced by the people.
He later announced RM500,000 to be used to resolve problems in the area. The Gelang Patah constituency has 104,040 voters.

The National Network: Which Companies Are Getting There And Which Are Showing The Strain?
Thursday 26 November 1998
t Parent: GB Railways; route miles: 348; passenger journeys: 5.99 million
Serving south Welsh valleys. A bad offender in the recent figures, with late-running rising from 6 per cent to almost 13 per cent, triggering discounts, while reliability slipped. Recent heavy flooding is likely to lead to a worsening in figures.
t Parent: Prism; route miles: 86; passenger journeys: 6.1 million
Sprawling West Midlands commuter network. Last week revived the "leaves on the line" story, blaming the autumnal leaf fall for recent problems. Most recent figures show improving timekeeping and reliability.
t Parent: National Express; route miles: 1,495; passenger journeys: 32.4m
Commuter services to London from northern Home Counties. Ordered to give back pounds 2.5m to regular passengers after slump in performance. Company claimed it was due to engineering problems. Thinking of cutting a tenth of peak timetable
t Parent: M40 Trains; route miles: 163; passenger journeys: 8.8 million
Commuter services to Surrey and to Sussex Coast. Was refused permission to extend franchise to 15 years in exchange for phasing out ageing slam door stock - to the delight of passenger groups. Improved performance across all route groups.
t Parent: Generale des Eaux; route miles: 481; passenger journeys: 117.2 million
Commuter services to Kent and Sussex. New Networker trains have caused most of its problems. Under franchise commitment to phase out all slam-door stock. Its Kent Link group is the weakest, and triggered discounts for delays.
t Parent: Generale des Eaux; route miles: 444; passenger journeys: 93 million
Spawling network of InterCity trains. Liable to delays at many pinch points on the network. Also blames weather conditions. Inherited the majority of the older InterCity stock on privatisation. Latest performance triggered passenger discounts.
t Parent: Virgin; route miles: 1,657; Passenger journeys: 12.5 million
Ferries business travellers and holidaymakers between London and the airport. Cynics say anyone could run this route well. Four trains in 1,000 are cancelled, and punctuality is improving. Has ordered new trains.
t Parent: National Express; route miles: 27; Passenger journeys: 3.7 million
Runs commuter services to Essex and Suffolk. Disastrous performance last winter - at one stage, only 60 per cent of its services ran to schedule. One in ten trains are late and five trains in 1,000 are cancelled.
t Parent: FirstGroup; route miles: 164; passenger journeys: 51.6 million
Inherited best trains and most recently upgraded lines. Improved reliability recently but one in 10 trains are late. Has put in a bid to have its franchise extended in exchange for investment including 12 new tilting trains.
t Parent: Sea Containers; route miles: 920; passenger journeys: 13.7 million
Earned tag of Late Western because of initial problems. Blamed level of maintenance - the contractor, Amey, eventually resigned. More than 16 per cent of trains run late and reliability is falling. Has paid out pounds 500,000 under the incentive regime.
t Parent: FirstGroup; route miles: 850; passenger journeys: 16.4 million
Lost its sobriquet of the Misery Line after investment and effort by owners. Recently agreed to a pounds 16m package of benefits to customers in exchange for being allowed to keep the hated slam-door trains running for three extra years.
t Parent: Prism; route miles: 80.25; passenger journeys: 23.7 million
Has been hit by a series of walk-outs by drivers. Latest figures showed the firm was almost the only operator to have improved reliability and punctuality across all routes. Praised by the franchising director for improving performance.
t Parent: MTL; route miles: 75; passenger journeys: 23 million
Uses InterCity high-speed trains on a single route to Leeds through the East Midlands. Reliability and punctuality have remained stable at levels exceeding those laid down in the Passengers Charter standard.
t Parent: National Express; route miles: 307; passenger journeys: 6.3 million
Latest figures showed that three of its eight groups were so bad they triggered passenger discounts. One route group saw delays increase from 5 per cent to 13 per cent. Recently reprimanded by the franchising director.
t Parent: FirstGroup; route miles: 1,124; passenger journeys: 27 million
The rebranded Regional Railways North Eastern. Suffered acute shortage of drivers that prompted cancellations in the early days. Recent figures show an indifferent performance with poor reliability and punctuality on many of its route groups.
t Parent: MTL; route miles: 1,277; Passenger journeys: 27 million
Its sleeper service is the only route in the UK to claim 100 per cent reliability. Overall, reliability is up on all its routes, while punctuality is above Charter standards. Praised by the franchising director.
t Parent: National Express; route miles: 1,885; Passenger journeys: 56.7 million
Runs commuter trains from Midlands to London. Suffered problems in last few weeks, but blames Railtrack. Is worried growth will be stunted by lack of capacity if Virgin takes the lion's share of routes on the upgraded West Coast main line.
t Parent: National Express; route miles: 200; Passenger journeys: 30.7 million
Narrowly avoided a pounds 1m fine for cancelling services after it made too many drivers redundant. Latest punctuality figures brought it perilously close to passenger discounts although reliability has improved sharply.
t Parent: Stagecoach (which also runs eight-mile line on the Isle of Wight); route miles: 584; passenger journeys: 118.2 million
Punctuality plunged so badly this year that it was fined pounds 800,000. Latest figures showed delays increased from 8 per cent to more than 15 per cent, triggering discounts for passengers. Blames delays on Railtrack.
t Parent: Go-Ahead; route miles: 363; Passenger journeys: 28.5 million
Led the attack against Railtrack in the row over who is to blame for current problems throughout the country. Has a high level of punctuality and reliability on the service that runs through London from Bedford to Brighton.
t Parent: Go-Ahead; route miles: 141; passenger journeys: 30.2 million
Immense network that links Penzance, Brighton, Birmingham and Fishguard. Performance varies widely across the network with three groups triggering discounts in the latest figures. One group runs 16 per cent of its trains late.
t Parent: Prism; route miles: 1,568; passenger journeys: 13.6 million
Runs services from East Anglia to London. Cut the price of annual tickets by 25 per cent to win Peterborough passengers from GNER, its InterCity rival. Recent figures show performance is broadly on the increase.
t Parent: Prism; route miles: 257; passenger journeys: 52.8 million
Most hated railway, according to complaint figures. At one point half of all trains from London to Scotland were late. Has since improved to fewer than 15 per cent. New 140mph tilting trains will cut journey time to Glasgow by 90 minutes by 2005.
t Parent: Virgin; route miles: 676; Passenger journeys: 14.99 million

News : Gayle to play in Caribbean T20
Players/Officials: Chris Gayle
Series/Tournaments: Caribbean T20 | West Indies Domestic Season
Teams: West Indies
Chris Gayle is not playing for Jamaica in the ongoing Caribbean T20 because the selectors decided to omit him from the squad, after the batsman said he would be available only if his Big Bash League franchise, Sydney Thunder, did not make the knockouts of Australia's ongoing domestic T20 competition.
Thunder failed to make it past the league stage of the BBL but, according to the Caribbean T20 playing conditions, Gayle cannot be added to Jamaica's squad unless one of their players is injured.
The WICB had set a December 16 deadline for all the regional teams to send in their squads for the final edition of the Caribbean T20, which will be replaced by the franchise-based Caribbean Premier League next year. Eager to have Gayle in their squad, Jamaica's three-man selection panel, led by Courtnay Daley, contacted him in December, when West Indies were touring Bangladesh. Gayle was open to the offer, but made it clear that he would be available for Jamaica only after his stint with Thunder. Though Gayle found form in the final match for Thunder with the fastest fifty of the BBL, it came too late in the day.*
"When we got in touch with Chris, he said he could only come if his team [Thunder] did not go through," Daley, the chairman of selectors, told ESPNcricinfo. "So based on our situation we decided to go ahead and name the squad [without Gayle]."
Thunder had a dismal run in the BBL, losing all seven games and finishing bottom of the league. Gayle, one of the most destructive batsmen in T20 cricket, made only 72 runs in six innings.
According to Daley, the Caribbean T20 rules do not permit squad changes and the only way Gayle can be accommodated is as a replacement in case of an injury to an existing player.
Jamaica are also without the services of Marlon Samuels, who is playing for Melbourne Renegades, the BBL leaders with six wins in seven matches. According to Daley, Samuels could not be directly contacted but the selectors had tried to check his availability through Gayle. "We could not reach Marlon directly and asked Chris to relay the message. But Chris did not get back," he said. "With the Big Bash going on, we could not take a decision. We would have loved to have both Gayle and Samuels."
Unlike Jamaica, defending Caribbean T20 champions Trinidad & Tobago will be boosted by the presence of Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine, who are also part of the Big Bash. Narine, who played for Sydney Sixers, had returned to play in the washed-out tournament opener against Jamaica on Sunday evening. Pollard, who represented Adelaide Strikers, is expected to join the squad on Tuesday. Both players had worked out an arrangement with the Trinidad & Tobago Cricket Board and their Big Bash franchises to play in the Caribbean T20.
