A Reminder Of The 2010 X.Org Developer Summit

Matthieu Herrb is sending out reminders this morning that the
2010 X.Org Developers' Summit
is taking place this September in Toulouse, France. From the 16th through the 18th of September at the University of Toulouse, the X.Org developers and interested parties will be discussing various topics related to Linux graphics and input.
Planned for discussion so far is X.Org Server 1.10 planning (X.Org Server 1.9 should be released the month prior) and the heated topic of
whether the drivers should be merged back into the X Server
or not, which would bring it back to being a more monolithic package. The other listed discussion topic at this time is on *BSD support for the DRM/KMS support, which has been struggling (along with OpenSolaris) behind the Linux DRM/KMS level of support. Other discussion topics will crop up shortly for this three-day event with the deadline for talks being the 16th of August.
So far there is just about two dozen listed attendees (with only about a dozen being confirmed), but that list too should grow as the September event approaches. I will be at the XDS2010 event providing live coverage on Phoronix of the X.Org discussions and announcement. For anyone else considering this event, the summit this year aligns rather well with the start of Oktoberfest in Munich where it's just a short train or plane ride away. After a few days of X.Org talks, it's perfect for then enjoying a few Maß of Augustiner and Franziskaner with some Weißwurst and other wonderful dishes.
Additional details on XDS2010 in Toulouse, France can be found on the
X.Org Wiki
or in
today's e-mail reminder

(24/11/14) Glantraeth have been drawn away to Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant or Kinmel Bay in the fifth round of the FAW Trophy. To be played Saturday 31st January. Kinmel Bay have appealed the decision to expel them from the Welsh Alliance.
(22/11/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 1, 12 & 13. There was one winner of the £1,500 Rollover Jackpot, Mair Jones of Caernarfon. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 13th December.
(22/11/14) This was Glan's poorest performance in several weeks but they lacked nothing in fighting spirit as a goal down with only a minute of normal time remaining they struck twice to pull off an astounding 5-4 win and book a place in the last sixteen of the Welsh FA Trophy. Bow Street went ahead on eight minutes as a well worked move split the visitor's defence and Stefan Richards blasted home off an upright and although Glan were having more of the ball it was the home side who were again the scorers on 22 minutes as Stefano Antoniaci all too easily was allowed to meet a corner from the right and fire home on the volley. The Anglesey side came back strongly and got a goal back just past the half-hour mark as Guto Hughes' cross was met by Steve Jones and the scramble in the Street goalmouth saw Rory Courlander force the ball over the line. The tide now seemed to be turning Glan's way but some chaotic defending ten minutes before the break virtually gifted the Ceredigion side a third, Tom Williams the scorer. Glantraeth now began to push harder than ever with Steve Jones, Neil Hughes and Guto Hughes all going close before the pressure paid off on 40 minutes as Steve Jones converted a cross from Darren Jones. A determined looking visiting side took complete control after the break, Rory Courlander heading over and home keeper Mark Evans making a point blank save from Andy Barker but all this domination came to nothing as they were once again caught short as a quick break down the right led to Dean Evans meeting the cross to put Bow Street 4-2 ahead with less than 30 minutes left to play. Heads refused to drop and Glantraeth continued well on top and the introduction of substitute Sion Kyle had an immediate impact as he bent a left foot shot just inside a post on 73 minutes to reduce the arrears back to only one goal. Bow Street were under constant pressure but time seemed to be on their side as they still held the lead as the game went into the 88th minute but this was a game with a real sting in the tail and it was the fox in the box himself Neil Hughes who showed all his skill to closely control a Steve Jones' cross in the area, cleverly turn his marker and fire home the equaliser and take the game into extra-time...or so we thought. However, with the ninety minutes up Sion Kyle was again involved and so was Neil Hughes as he headed the ball on for Andy Barker to race on and gleefully slide home the winner. It was a thrilling end to a tremendously entertaining cup tie but Glan manager Warren Gibbs will be relieved to get the win after a below par display and with Ryan Davies, Craig Roberts and Rhys Nash missing from the travelling squad.

(19/11/14) On Saturday 6th December we are at home to league leaders Holywell Town in the second round of the Cookson Cup, kick-off 1.45 pm. The following Saturday we have a league fixture at Llanrwst United and Saturday 20th December we entertain Llandudno Junction. The Christmas fixture on Saturday 27th December is at Llanfairpwll and we begin the New Year with another Anglesey Derby at home to Gwalchmai on Saturday 3rd January.
(18/11/14) We face the long trip to Bow Street on Saturday in the fourth round of the FAW Trophy. I won't bore you with the reasons again but the Welsh FA Trophy is the competition I would like Glantraeth to win above all else. It is a tough ask but the Welsh Alliance have an excellent record over recent seasons with Llanrug the current holders. Bow Street's ground is Cae Piod which is situated at nearby Rhydypennau and they currently lie seventh in the Spar Mid-Wales League First Division which is currently led by Llanfair United who include our former player Llion Davies in their line-up. The coach leaves Malltraeth at 9 am Saturday morning with the main pick up Llanfairpwll park & ride at 9.30 am. (SS)
(17/11/14) There are few players who have had a closer connection with Glantraeth over the past couple of seasons than young Jamie Roberts from Malltraeth. Jamie attends virtually all our games and takes part in the pre-match warm-ups and training when possible. His ambition has always been to play for Glantraeth. This he did in pre-season, including scoring three times. With the offer on the table of a scholarship at the Connah's Quay Academy chairman Gareth Evans, myself and everyone at the club encouraged Jamie to take up the offer. It was a great opportunity for him to not only develop as a player but also as a person and our overriding interest has always been in advising Jamie what is best for him. Although still only 16 he has been on the bench in recent games for Connahs Quay's Welsh Premier League side and his debut must surely only be a matter of time. Last night he played for Quay's Under 19s at Nantporth against Bangor City, his side running out 2-0 winners. Club photographer Aled Jones was there and reports that Jamie was outstanding despite being one of the youngest players on the pitch. Jamie is with us at Bow Street on Saturday and all at Glantraeth continue to follow his career with a real sense of pride. (SS)
A couple more pictures by Aled on the club Facebook page shortly.
(15/11/14) Glantraeth went through to the second round of the Mawddach Cup with a comfortable 6-1 win over Mochdre Sports. Only fifteen minutes in the home side were two up as first Rory Courlander blasted home (pictured) then Steve Jones set up a tap-in for Craig Roberts. As Glan eased up the visitors came more into the game but were undone again twelve minutes before the break as Richard Owen fired home a tremendous shot from twenty plus yards. An effort from Dylan Williams just on the break was scooped on to a post by Mochdre keeper Ray Lee but seven minutes into the second period it was all but over as Gareth Owen's effort on goal was saved only for Craig Roberts to pounce on the loose ball and score. The visitors got some reward for their efforts on 65 minutes as Tom Clarke followed up to score after a free kick from Matthew Gilmour but any chance of a revival was quashed within a minute as Craig Roberts completed his hat-trick with a great volley to take advantage of good link up play between Dylan Williams and Mark Prescott. With four minutes remains Craig Roberts got a fourth after combining well with Darren Jones and the final action of the game saw home keeper Ben Heald pull off a brilliant save from Mochdre substitute Gaz Jones.
More of Aled's pictures on Glantraeth Facebook page tomorrow.
(11/11/14) After losing yet another league game last weekend we are back in cup action on Saturday when we host second division side Mochdre Sports in the first round of the Mawddach Challenge Cup (formerly the Barritt Cup). Referee is Steve Jones and the game kicks-off at 1.30 pm.
(08/11/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 3, 4 & 18. There was no winner so the Jackpot rolls over to £1,500. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 22nd November.
(08/11/14) Glantraeth manager Warren Gibbs is October's Welsh Alliance Manager of the Month for Division One, all games being won during the month. The award is sponsored by Queensferry Sports.
(06/11/14) Our game at Kinmel Bay on Saturday is off. Kinmel Bay have been kicked out of the league.
(05/11/14) We play a fourth round tie of the FAW Trophy at Bow Street on Saturday 22nd November. Because of the 1.30 pm kick-off the coach will be leaving Malltraeth at 9 am so get your work shifts sorted fellas. The FAW are still not appointing assistant referees which I find quite unbelievable at such an advanced stage of a national cup competition second only to the Welsh Cup. I have been in contact with the Bow Street secretary saying we will pay half of any additional costs if they can get assistants appointed but it now their decision as the home club. I notice Ron Bridges has taken it upon himself to appoint assistants for all games where Welsh Alliance clubs are at home. Ron takes stick from some, including from me over the Kinmel Bay farce, but he just gets on and makes things happen and others could learn from him. (SS)
(03/11/14) I spoke with the league secretary Ron Bridges this morning and at present our game at Kinmel Bay next Saturday is still ON. A decision cannot be taken on their future until the league management committee meeting on Thursday evening and Ron has promised to phone me the minute the meeting is over. It is a far from satisfactory situation and really messes us about but I do have some sympathy with the league who have to do everything by the book or an appeal to the FAW against any action they take could go against them. The truth is Kinmel Bay have not come up with a satisfactory home ground to play on by the deadline laid down by the clubs. The proposal at the last meeting was that they be allowed four weeks up to 30th October, we proposed they only be allowed two weeks. The vote was a tie and the league chairman agreed four weeks with his casting vote. (SS)
(03/11/14) There was a nice gesture from Bangor City president Gwyn Pierce Owen before last Saturday's game when he presented canteen manager Helen Evans of Hel's Kitchen fame with a bunch of flowers "for all the work she does for the club." Gwyn is a regular and very welcome visitor to our games when his beloved Bangor are not playing.
(01/11/14) Glantraeth gained a sixth successive win after overcoming Llanfairpwll by six goals to nil. The visitors never made it easy as they kept battling to the end in horrendous conditions that were hardly conducive to good football. The visitors fell behind after 18 minutes as Ryan Davies (pictured) headed home a corner taken by Dylan Williams and with Glan playing into a near gale force wind it was three minutes before the break before they increased their lead as Craig Roberts put Steve Jones clear and his finish gave keeper Connor Hughes no chance. A minute into the second half it was 3-0 as good work by Steve Jones created the opening for Dylan Williams to fire home. A fourth quickly followed as Steve Jones got his second, cutting in from the left before beating the keeper at the near post. The home side seemed to take their foot off the pedal and Glan keeper Ben Heald did well to push over a good effort from Josh Roberts on 68 minutes and six minutes later substitute Johnny Roberts was close to converting a right wing cross as Llanfair had their best spell of the game. The game was all but over when Rhys Nash scored a fifth for Glan five minutes from time and the scoring was completed in the final minute as substitute Neil Hughes lobbed the keeper to complete the scoring.
More pics by Aled on Facebook page tomorrow. Until informed officially otherwise we have to assume we are away to Kinmel Bay next Saturday.
(31/10/14) Welsh Alliance League Secretary Ron Bridges has informed us that Kinmel Bay have still not found a ground suitable for playing home games but are 'still looking.' As they were only given until today to find one, a binding decision made at the last league meeting, our game there next week is now looking in doubt. As we have already played less games than any other club in the division it does seem crazy that we could lose yet another fixture.
(30/10/14) The Welsh Alliance clubs at the last meeting agreed to give Kinmel Bay until today to make a home ground available that meets the requirements of Division One. The outcome concerns us as we are due to go there a week Saturday. At present we have heard nothing but the ground, wherever it may be, was due to be inspected today. They are currently in dispute over their former leisure centre ground and have been playing all their games away. This has gone on far too long so it is to be hoped it will be resolved without further delay.
The Fair Play table for Division One released today shows us up from sixth to third. Well done fellas. One interesting stat is that Llandyrnog have gone from top to bottom over the past month!
(27/10/14) After a stuttering start to the season our form has really picked up as manager Warren Gibbs has added to his squad. It was always going to be a tough game to win on Saturday against a Llanerchymedd side who are really flying but apart from a five minute spell around the hour mark they were kept at arms length by a commanding defensive performance and keeper Ben Heald was rarely troubled while we always carried a threat going forward and in truth I thought the 2-1 scoreline flattered the home side. Pleased to see the draw for the FAW Trophy has been made on a Monday this round as it always should be and many thanks to Lucy Kelly at the FAW for emailing through the draw as soon as it was made. Credit where it is due. Next Saturday we are at home to bottom club Llanfairpwll who were unlucky to lose through a goal seven minutes from time against Llandyrnog last Saturday so will be looking to build on that improvement in form. Kick off is 2 pm and match referee is Kelvin Lewis. (SS)
(27/10/14) In the fourth round of the FAW Trophy we have been drawn away to Bow Street who are currently fourth in the top division of the Mid-Wales League. To be played Saturday 22nd November.
(25/10/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 7, 13 & 18. There was no winner so the Jackpot rolls over to £1,000. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 8th November.
(25/10/14) Glantraeth moved into the fourth round of the FAW Trophy, winning 2-1 at Llanerchymedd this afternoon. The visitors despite playing against a strong wind were on the offensive from the off home keeper Kenny Hughes pulling off two tremendous saves from Andy Barker and Guto Hughes in the opening ten minutes only to be beaten as Ryan Davies fired home from Hughes' corner kick on eleven minutes. The visitors had a great chance to make it two on 21 minutes as Gareth Owen took possession following a free kick from Hughes but elected to try and square the ball for Ryan Davies only for the home keeper to intercept. With half-an-hour gone Ben Heald in the Glan goal had hardly been tested and a good spell of pressure from the visitors saw Rory Courlander and Guto Hughes go close. Eight minutes into the second period a scramble in the home goalmouth ended with Craig Roberts firing against a post. Against the run of play Llanerchymedd pulled level on the hour mark as Matthew Jones got behind the Glan defence and finished well. For the first time in the game the home side now began to threaten with Dewi Thomas twice firing wide but the danger soon passed and with 72 minutes gone Glantraeth got the winner with a tremendous strike by Rory Courlander from fully 25 yards that gave the keeper no chance. It was a goal worthy of winning any game and despite the closeness of the scoreline there was no denying that Glantraeth were well deserving of their place in next week's Trophy draw.

(21/10/14) It's FAW Trophy time again on Saturday when we travel to Llanerchymedd. Although we won our pre-season friendly meeting 1-0 the visitors did enough in the second half to prove they will be formidable opposition as we attempt to progress further in the competition. PLEASE NOTE KICK-OFF IS 1.30 pm NOT 2.00 pm AS ORIGINALLY ADVERTISED. For various reasons I have only seen about 30 minutes of the past two games but reports back to me suggest they have been convincing wins to make it four on the bounce so there should be no shortage of confidence going into the game. Referee is Robin Williams, the FAW do not appoint assistants, and although we always make sure we have official assistants for home games we have no control over away games. Crazy for the third round of such an important national competition and along with us having to wait until the Thursday for the last Trophy draw in Cardiff it shows a complete lack of respect for clubs at our level by the FAW something Dave Jones touched on in the Daily Post a week or two back. (SS)
November's fixtures have now been added to Fixture's page.
(18/10/14) Two goals from Craig Roberts (35 & 80) and one from Rhys Nash (48) gave Glantraeth a well deserved win at Gwalchmai after James Burgess had given the home side a fourth minute lead.
(11/10/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 10, 12 & 16. There was one winner of the £500 Jackpot, Rhian Hughes of Gaerwen. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 25th October.
(11/10/14) Glantraeth manager Warren Gibbs and club coach Darren Jones are pictured picking up the club's FAW Fair Play Award for 2013-2014 season from former Welsh international Nathan Blake at Cardiff City Stadium before last night's Wales v Bosnia-Herzegovina international. Warren also managed to get in the picture with another well known face.
(05/10/14) Making his debut for Glantraeth yesterday was keeper Ben Heald who signed on before Friday's 5 pm deadline. Last season with Holyhead Hotspur he has also played for Rhyl, Bangor City, Llanfairpwll and Caernarfon Town. We welcome Ben to the club.
(05/10/14) Due to the ongoing saga of Kinmel Bay not having a home ground to play on the league have changed the fixtures on Saturday 18th October. Instead of going to Barmouth we now have an away game at Gwalchmai. Bit less travel.
(04/10/14) Glantraeth ran out comfortable winners in a commanding display to clock up their first three pointer of the season. First half goals from Dylan Williams and Ryan Davies put them in the driving seat and a third from Neil Hughes on 51 minutes followed. After striking the bar Steve Jones went one better seventeen minutes from time to virtually wrap up the game at 4-0 although Llandyrnog pulled a goal back in the 83rd minute through Ian Williams. Final score: Glantraeth 4 Llandyrnog United 1.
Aled's pics of game on Glantraeth Facebook page.
(03/10/14) We return to league action tomorrow at home to Llandyrnog United. Referee is Allan Rowlands and kick- off is 2.30 pm. This is only our fourth league game and we are in urgent need of three points after losing our previous two home league fixtures. Dyrnog have had a mixed start to the season but currently occupy a comfortable mid-table position. We have played them many times over the years and they are never an easy side to overcome but if we maintain the form of our last two games we have every chance of gaining a good result.
(02/10/14) In the second round of the Cookson Cup Glantraeth have been drawn at home to league leaders Holywell Town. Other ties are: Kinmel Bay v Llanrug Utd, Llanrwst Utd v Llanberis or Llandudno Junction & Penrhyndeudraeth v Gwalchmai.
(27/09/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 4, 17 & 19. There were two winners who share the £500 Jackpot, Ian Ferrier of Malltraeth & Helen Geal of Ty Croes. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 11th October.
(27/09/14) Glantraeth should have had this game wrapped up well before a Dylan Williams free kick in the 87th minute finally made certain of a place in the second round of the Cookson Cup. The home side were on top from the start, Andy Barker having a shot blocked in the twelfth minute and three minutes later Brendun Hogan struck the bar. Craig Roberts then drove just wide for Glan but it was Barmouth that got their noses in front on 26 minutes as Paul Lewis converted from the penalty spot following a trip in the area. Four minutes before the break the home side were level as a great crossfield pass from Guto Hughes found Jamie Steel who cut in from the right before blasting a shot high into the net (top picture) then former Welsh youth international Rhys Nash headed a Hogan cross just over as Glan pushed for another. Four minutes into the second half the Anglesey side went ahead as a glorious free kick from Brendun Hogan gave the keeper no chance and within a minute the visitors had a free kick in a similar position at the other end with Paul Lewis's effort on goal not far off target. Keeper Darren Andrews saved at point blank range on 51 minutes and nine minutes later made a tremendous full length save from Andy Barker, the ball running loose for Neil Hughes who squared for Jamie Steel whose shot crashed against the crossbar. With only a goal in it a win was far from certain for Glan and a volley from Sion Lloyd was a warning that Barmouth were not yet beaten. The visitor's keeper was having an inspired game and pulled off another stunning save from Jamie Steel on 69 minutes and an even better one from the same player four minutes later. With ten minutes left there was alarm in the Glantraeth camp as Rory Courlander was dismissed for a second caution. Fortunately it didn't change the course of the game as Glan remained on top and got a well deserved third three minutes from time as Dylan Williams cleverly bent the ball around the defensive wall and just inside the post to finally kill of the visitor's challenge. Final score: Glantraeth 3 Barmouth & Dyffryn Utd 1.
More pictures by Aled on the Glantraeth Facebook page tomorrow.
(26/09/14) Although he is unavailable this weekend the good news is that central defender Gareth Owen has again signed for Glantraeth. Gareth was with Holyhead Hotspur last season in the Huws Gray Alliance and is of course another from our double winning side of 2006. We are delighted to see Gareth back at the club. Going the other way is young Craig Whelan who was outstanding in our FAW Trophy win last Saturday. Craig has re-located down to Cardiff to continue his education and we have readily agreed his transfer to Cardiff Met University FC who play in the Welsh League Division One.
(25/09/14) We have been drawn away to Llanerchymedd or Penmaenmawr Phoenix in the FA Trophy. To be played Saturday 25 October, 2.00 pm kick-off 2.00 pm.
(23/09/14) There was a strong feeling within the club, not necessarily shared by manager Warren Gibbs, that it would take a little while to get fully up and running this season. This is often the case after a change of management but Saturday's performance even with a few players still missing gave good cause for optimism. New signing Jamie Steel showed up well in midfield as did Craig Whelan. Unfortunately Craig now moves down to university in Cardiff and will no longer be regularly available. It has been good to see former manager Paul Whelan and his wife Sharon at recent games giving Craig support. With Gareth Owen also a spectator, Warren in the dugout and Chicken, Freddy, Skin and Steve Thomas on the pitch it was almost like an old boy's reunion from 2006. The squad is getting stronger by the day and hopefully that will be reflected in results over the coming games.
Last season's club captain Warren Gibbs and club coach Darren Jones will be travelling down to Cardiff next month to be presented with the FAW Fair Play Award. It is great for Glantraeth to be represented on such a big stage.
Saturday sees the visit of Barmouth in the Cookson Cup. Kick-off is 2.30 pm and the referee is Steve Jones.
(20/09/14) After twice falling behind Glantraeth deservedly ran out winners to go through to the next round of the FAW Trophy, the final score flattering the visitors who were very much second best after the break. Bay were first to threaten on 11 minutes as keeper Steve Thomas saved well from Dewi Thomas then Craig Moore pounced on the loose ball only to see his volley cleared off the line by Darren Jones. Eight minutes later the visitors took the lead, Glantraeth appealing for offside as Craig Moore rounded the keeper before firing home. Glan almost pulled level almost immediately as Andy Barker worked an opening before shooting just too high but it was a brief respite for Bay as the home side did pull level on 26 minutes through a tremendous left foot strike from Jamie Steel. There was little to choose between the sides at this stage and it was slightly against the run if play when Ryan Booth hit a thunderbolt of a shot eleven minutes before the break that cannoned in off the crossbar. Glantraeth began to take a grip of the game following the interval and a great cross from Craig Roberts four minutes in looked a certain goal for Steve Jones only for the ball to take a wicked bobble off the pitch. Steel was again involved in Glan's leveller on 53 minutes, presenting Craig Whelan with the chance to execute a clinical finish and it was Whelan that put the home side ahead on 66 minutes as he fired home from a Steel free kick. It was Glantraeth now very much in the ascendancy with Richard Owen striking the top of the bar but the pace of Craig Moore was always a danger at the other end as he broke clear down the right and it took a tremendous save from Steve Thomas as Ryan Booth made good contact with his cross. Final score: Glantraeth 3 Trearddur Bay United 2.

(19/09/14) We have been invited to attend the Wales v Bosnia-Herzegovina 2016 European Championship Qualifier at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday 10th October when we will be presented with our FAW Fair Play Award for 2013-2014 season prior to the start of the game. Two representatives of the club will attend with overnight accommodation and travel expenses paid for by the FAW. It is a prestigious award for the club so congratulations to everyone involved last season.
(19/09/14) Trearddur Bay are the visitors tomorrow in the second round of the FAW Trophy as we look for our first win of the season. Three seasons ago Bay came to Glantraeth at the same stage of the same competition and won 4-2. Kick-off is 2.00 pm and the referee is Scott Longley assisted by Joseph Hanks & Dewi Owen.
(19/09/14) We have received this email from long time supporter Rhys Williams and everyone at the club wishes Rhys well at Aberystwyth University: "I have finally decided to take the time and finish an e-mail that I have been thinking about for some time. I could not think of a better way to do this other than in this way. With myself leaving for University in Aberystwyth (by the time you read this I am most likely there already) I am undoubtedly and clearly aware of how large an impact that Glantraeth has made on me. I have been raised with Glantraeth for almost 12 years now, throughout those years I have had a roller coaster of a ride. but what is and always has been an absolute pleasure to have experienced is having the chance and time to have met such great people. Everyone at Glantraeth, old and new, players and committee, they are purely, simply and unquestionably some of the kindest, most hard working people that I have had the good fortune to meet. Thank you for making me feel welcomed and putting up with a young boy on long coach trips from the start. I'm know my Taid would be too proud to say it, so thank you from him too. Finally. Simply. Thank you for putting up with me, you have all made a bigger impact on me than you could have conceived. With much gratitude, Rhys."
(16/09/14) We have today transferred defender Aron Owen to Amlwch Town. We wish Aron well at his new club.
(14/09/14) The winning numbers in last night's 3 Number Lotto draw were 10, 12 & 19. There was one winner of the £1,000 Rollover Jackpot, Nerys Owen of Aberffraw. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 27th September.
(14/09/14) It was pretty well the same as last week for Glantraeth as they went down 4-2 to FC Nomads, having plenty of the ball, playing some nice football but not carrying the same threat as the opposition in the final quarter. Nomads arrived with a fearsome reputation having hardly lost a game since their formation and took the game to Glantraeth from the start, taking the lead in the second minute as Callum Humphries rose high to head home and three minutes later it was 2-0 to the visitors as Reece Norton finished off a quick break upfield with Glantraeth appealing for a foul on Andy Barker. The home side came back strongly and Nomads keeper Ryan Neild was lucky on 7 minutes as he dropped the ball but just managed to recover as Steve Jones looked to force the ball over the line. On 17 minutes Marcus Orlik hit a tremendous shot on target only for Neild to pull off a spectacular save but two minutes later Glan were back in the game as Ryan Davies headed home an Orlik corner from the left. The visitors were now being called on to defend and a twisting run by Andy Barker on the half hour mark gave him the space to let fly and it took another tremendous save from the Nomad's keeper to finger tip his shot wide, Craig Whelan heading over from the corner. It was somewhat against the run of play as the visitors scored a third ten minutes before the break as a free kick from Ant Williams seemed to take a deflection off Ryan Davies before ending up in the net. Nomads were looking the more dangerous after the break and home keeper Steve Thomas was called on to make a fine save from Matty Hughes on 57 minutes and two minutes later Dan Barnett fired into the roof of the net after Glan had failed to clear from a corner to make it 4-1. As the game entered the final ten minutes Orlik fired inches wide for the Anglesey side then a fine crossfield pass by Rhys Nash found Steve Jones who drove into the box before delivering the perfect cross to leave Neil Hughes with an easy tap in. Glan had finished strongly but could hardly complain about the final result in what is proving a difficult start to the season and manager Warren Gibbs will be looking to get some of his more experienced players back for another tough challenge next week in the FAW Trophy.
(12/09/14) With keeper Kieran Williams injured and likely out until Christmas manager Warren Gibbs has acted by signing ex-Glantraeth goalkeeper Steve Thomas (pictured) who last season was with Beaumaris Town. Steve is another of the Class of 2006 to re-join Glantraeth. Transferred from Porthmadog to Glantraeth yesterday was midfielder Jamie Steel who is at Bangor University. Rhys Nash another University student has also today signed for Glantraeth.
Tomorrow Welsh National League side FC Nomads of Connah's Quay are the visitors in the second qualifying round of the Welsh Cup. Please note kick-off for that one is 2.00 pm and the referee is Gwilym Evans assisted by Robert Beattie and Laura Griffiths.
Glantraeth are again top of the latest Fair Play Table for Division One but that was before last Saturday, wasn't it Warren?
(08/09/14) Please note kick-off next Saturday is now confirmed by the FAW as 2.00 pm to allow for possible extra-time.
(06/09/14) It all went badly wrong for Glantraeth today. One-all at the break they dominated the second half in terms of possession and territorial advantage but failed to really trouble the Llanrwst keeper enough while the visitors always threatened on the break and took full advantage of the gaps being left at the back to run out 4-1 winners with a smash and grab victory that by the end they fully deserved. Glantraeth took the lead on 24 minutes through a tremendous strike by Craig Whelan from near on thirty yards out and Marcus Orlik was inches from making it two a minute later as he volleyed just over from a Neil Hughes cross. The game was being pretty evenly contested and a shot from Llanrwst's Gwyn Jones on the half hour mark looked bound for the top corner only for keeper Kieran Williams to make a great flying save to his left. Three minutes before the break a mistake by Andy Barker let in Elliot Llewelyn who made no mistake with a low drive to pull the visitors level. Glantraeth began to push forward on the restart only to be caught out on 53 minutes as Llewelyn was brought down in the area and Llanrwst player manager Leighton Griffiths made no mistake from the spot. The more Glantraeth piled on the pressure the deeper the visitors were defending and the home side were struggling to really test keeper Joshua Evans with too many shots and crosses straight into his grateful hands. Glantraeth were dominating and pushing forward in numbers but again paid a price as in a rare attack Llanrwst won a corner on the left and as the ball came in Llewelyn got the last touch to make it 3-1. It was poor reward for all Glantraeth's possession but with eight changes from the team that lost heavily at Gwalchmai last week Llanrwst were growing in confidence by the minute, absorbing all the pressure and dangerous on the break. With time running out Whelan and Orlik both had shots that sailed a foot or two over but with three minutes remaining Andy Barker sent in a screamer of a shot that deserved a goal only for the ball to cannon back off the bar. It was further evidence that it was not going to be Glantraeth's day and the visitors rubbed further salt into the wounds with the final kick of the game as another breakaway left Hedd Williams clear to score a fourth for the visitors. A miserable afternoon for the Bodorgan side was made even worse as manager Warren Gibbs who had come on as a 67th minute substitute was dismissed for a second yellow card on the final whistle.
More pictures by Aled will be posted on Glantraeth's Facebook page.
(01/09/14) We continue to be drawn at home in cup competitions, home to FC Nomads in the Welsh Cup on Saturday 13th September and home to Trearddur Bay United in the FAW Trophy a week later.
(31/08/14) The draw for the second qualifying round of the Welsh Cup will take place on Monday afternoon to be played on Saturday 13th September. The following Saturday is given over to the FAW Trophy. On the 27th September we are at home to Barmouth & Dyffryn United in the first round of the Cookson Cup. Next Saturday we are home to Llanrwst United, referee is Robin Williams and kick-off is 2.30 pm. The fixtures mean we will enter October having played only three league games!
(30/08/14) Glantraeth's season is rapidly descending into farce as they lost a fourth game today as no match officials turned up and after attempts to get a replacement official ran out of time the home game with Glan Conwy was called off. The reason is still a mystery as we have written confirmation of them accepting the appointment but attempts to contact the match referee proved impossible. League secretary Ron Bridges has written to the match officials seeking an explanation. Both teams and spectators deserve great credit for their patience as the game was not officially called off until 3.35 pm.
(29/08/14) Richard 'Freddy' Owen has today signed for Glantraeth. Richard was a member of Glan's Cymru Alliance double winning side in 2006. A left sided midfielder or defender he has most recently been with Holyhead Hotspur but has also played for Cemaes Bay, Bangor City, Porthmadog and Caernarfon Town. He will be in the squad for tomorrow's visit of Glan Conwy. Kick-off is 2.30 pm and the referee is Arwyn Griffiths.
(23/08/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 7, 10 & 19. There was no winner so the Jackpot rolls over to £1,000. The next draw is in the Royal Oak, Malltraeth on Saturday 13th September.
(22/08/14) A 10-0 win is usually a cause for much celebration but there were mixed feelings after the game on Wednesday that it would be one heavy defeat too many and Bodedern secretary Kim Warrington has this afternoon confirmed on their Facebook page that Bodedern have resigned from the league. It has been a great effort by Kim, Kev and Dave Jones to keep the club going. We hate to see any Anglesey club struggle no matter how fierce the inter-club rivalry and we wish them well in the future.
For Glantraeth it means that going into the end of the month we will only have played two games having lost the Kinmel Bay and Nefyn United fixtures and it hardly helps the Welsh Alliance to lose another club. .
(20/08/14) It took Glantraeth 29 minutes to break down the resistance of a Bodedern side who lacked nothing in commitment. The visitors were unrecognisable from Boded sides of the past with all the familiar names having flown the nest and they gave a good account of themselves in the early stages. Craig Roberts struck the bar for the home side on 17 minutes with Andy Barker blasting over in the follow up but twelve minutes later Roberts made no mistake to put Glan one up and added another ten minutes before the break after a good cross from Brendun Hogan. Within two minutes of the restart a fine run by Steve Jones was rounded off by a tremendous shot from Marcus Orlik to give keeper Connor Hughes no chance. With 67 minutes gone the floodgates began to open as Glan really stepped up the pressure. First Craig Whelan put Steve Jones away down the right and his cross was met at the far post by Craig Roberts to complete his hat-trick then another Steve Cross left Sean Davies with an easy finish to make it 5-0. On 72 minutes yet another Steve Jones cross was finished by Craig Roberts and five minutes later Roberts got his fifth after good work by Orlik. Boded were now clinging on desperately but could not stop Marcus Orlik firing home with nine minutes remaining to make it 8-0 and two further goals from Steve Jones and Sean Davies completed the rout. Final score: Glantraeth 10 Bodedern Athletic 0.
** Craig Roberts now joins an elite group of Richie Evans, Ian Fidler, Nigel Moore and Darren Pritchard to score five goals or more in a game for Glantraeth.
(19/08/14) Please note that as well as the weekly Car Boot at Mona next Sunday there will also be one there on the Bank Holiday Monday, 25th August, starting at the usual time of 6.30 am. Also because of a caravan rally at Mona the Car Boot on Sunday 31st August will be at Henblas, Llangristiolus instead. Further details available from Gareth on 07747 890497.
(19/08/14) Manager Warren Gibbs has today signed left sided midfielder Guto Hughes. Aberystwyth born Guto has played Welsh Premier League football with Bangor City and Prestatyn Town. He has also been with Llanfairpwll and is available for selection for tomorrow's game.
(18/08/14) It's rare a side loses 9-0 and 12-2 but wins 5-1 in between so which Bodedern side will turn up on Wednesday? There certainly have been big changes at Boded but we just have to prepare as for any game and give it everything as we are now in urgent need of a win. We have given two promising performances so far but only have a point to show for it. What has pleased me most has been the football we have played and the performances of the younger players in the side who have shown great promise. Things didn't look good early on at Penrhyn but we showed great character in the way we came back and the home side could consider themselves fortunate in the end to get a point. Kick-off is 6.30 am and the referee is Arwyn Griffiths. (SS)
(16/08/14) Two behind after just twelve minutes Glantraeth had a hill to climb at Penrhyndeudraeth today but it was striker Neil Hughes belying the advancing years who was twice on target to earn the visitors a share of the points. In truth it was a game Glantraeth should have won as they took charge after going behind and it was only in the final twenty minutes that the home side really threatened again. Playing with the wind Penrhyn took the lead on ten minutes as Iwan Thomas headed home from a left wing corner and two minutes later things looked bleak for Glan as Mathew Hughes' shot struck the underside of the bar with Steve Jones following up to score. The visitors response was good as they began to threaten at the other end, Steve Jones having a header saved then Craig Whelan's effort was blocked on the line by Tomos Smith. There was a strong shout for penalty as Neil Hughes appeared to be tripped in the box but despite his assistant signalling referee Peter Kewley waved the protests away. On 34 minutes Glan pulled a goal back as Hughes shot went under keeper Melir Ellis. Penrhyn's goal was now under constant pressure with Sion Kyle creating a chance for Marcus Orlik but his shot was too high, Neil Hughes fired inches wide and Ryan Davies shaved the crossbar with a header following a great cross from Kyle. The home keeper did well to block shots from Kyle and Orlik as Glan maintained the pressure after the break although a near post effort from Mathew Hughes was not too far wide as play switched upfield. On the hour mark Glantraeth were level as Brendun Hogan broke forward and although Andy Barker's shot on goal was blocked Neil Hughes made no mistake as the ball broke loose. In the final stages the game really opened up Penrhyn's Hughes seeing a shot blocked on the line by Darren Jones but it was Glan who came closest to a winner in the last five minutes, Steve Jones bringing a point blank save from Ellis then Whelan and Liam McCann struck good shots that were only just off target. Final score: Penrhyndeudraeth 2 Glantraeth 2.
More of Aled's pics will be on club Facebook page during Sunday.
(15/08/14) With Penrhyndeudraeth pointless after two games and ourselves looking to gain our first win there is sure to be a real competitive edge to tomorrow's game. Things didn't really go our way on Wednesday when I thought our performance merited a share of the points. There were lots of positives from the game with some of the younger players showing up well. We played some nice football against a strong, well established Llanberis side who we have often struggled to beat. We are in a period of transition at the club in several ways but Warren is quietly building up a strong squad and it shouldn't be too long before we see the benefits, hopefully starting tomorrow. Match referee is Peter Kewley.
Pen pictures page has been updated although there are still one or two pictures to add. Let me know if any information is wrong (Stan)
(13/08/14) Glantraeth had their chances in an evenly contested game and didn't take them, Llanberis did, to run out 3-1 winners. It was a disappointing opening to the season for a new look Glan side who played well enough but the visitors have a nucleus of players who have been together for several seasons now and it showed at times. Glantraeth almost took the lead in the 5th minute as Rory Courlander and Neil Hughes linked up well and only a tremendous point blank save from keeper Louis Williams prevented Courlander scoring. Three minutes later the Gwynedd side went even closer as Guto Llywellyn's shot came back off the bar. The visitors did take the lead on twenty minutes as Dave Jones was left unmarked as a cross came in from the right and he expertly volleyed home. Glan deservedly pulled level eleven minutes later as Steve Jones got on the end of a long ball in from Darren Jones to fire home. There had been little to choose between the two sides but a great finish from Huw Owen on 52 minutes gave the visitors the advantage. Brendun Hogan's pass eight minutes later gave Andy Barker a goal chance but the youngster, who had been impressive on his debut, rushed his shot and fired too high. The game was still evenly balanced but the killer for the home side came five minutes from time as Huw Owen got his second for Llanberis, heading home a left wing cross. There was further bad luck for Glan as Rory Courlander was stretchered off with time almost up.
More pics by Aled will be on club Facebook page tomorrow.
(11/08/14) Although there will be some players missing for the first week or two of the season due to holidays manager Warren Gibbs goes into the season with the following squad (previous club if not Glantraeth in brackets): Kieran Williams (G/K), Neil Hughes (G/K), Brendun Hogan (Llanfairpwll), Darren Gowans (Menai Bridge), Ryan Davies, Rory Courlander (Holyhead Hotspur), Sion Kyle, Marcus Orlik (Llanberis - pictured), Craig Whelan (Bangor City), Andy Barker (Bangor City), Craig Roberts, Darren Jones, Steve Jones, Liam McCann (Menai Bridge), Aron Owen (Llanfairpwll), Dylan Williams (USA) & Sean Davies (Llanfairpwll). Warren and assistant Neil Hughes are also registered as players.
(10/08/14) Llanberis are the visitors on Wednesday, kick-off 6.30 pm, for our delayed start to the season. Admission is £3 this season in line with other first division clubs but we include a free programme while stocks last. It has been a low key build up to the season on the website for Glantraeth while manager Warren Gibbs has been quietly assessing and building his squad for his first season in charge. His management team consists of assistant manager Neil Hughes, player/coach Darren Jones and physio Sion Roberts who has joined after many seasons with Llanfairpwll. Most of our pre-season games have been against lower league teams who are keen to put one over us and all of the games have been very competitive without ever being dirty, no bad thing. I will be updating the website player profiles in the next week or so when all has become clearer.
(10/08/14) It's still difficult to believe a game at Glantraeth was called off yesterday because of a wall at Kinmel Bay. Pity the Glantraeth book came out in May I could have added a whole new chapter on that!
With no game I took in Gaerwen v Halkyn and I have to say I was really impressed by how the club has taken on a whole new life. The driving force is undoubtedly chairman Mathew Thomas (thanks for picking up our T shirts Mathew) backed by a strong committee and he clearly is determined to re-emphasise the community appeal of the club. Typical was having young players from the junior sides as ball boys and being involved in the team picture before the game.
I've always liked Gaerwen from Daz Meredith's time. They don't spend time criticising others they just get on with running their own club much as we try to do at Glantraeth. There was a good crowd present, a great atmosphere and even without their two main strikers Gaerwen were by far the better side.
(09/08/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 5, 6 & 12. There was one winner of the £1,000 Jackpot, Les Thomas of Malltraeth. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 23rd August.
(06/08/14) Glantraeth had to work hard for a 2-2 draw this evening against a Valley Athletic side who look like being a real force this season with plenty of well known names amongst their ranks. Craig Roberts got both goals.
(04/08/14) The Welsh Alliance have called off next Saturday's home game at the request of Kinmel Bay. They have carried out work at their Leisure Centre ground by building a brick wall without permission and have been told unless it is immediately taken down they will be kicked off the ground. The work has to be carried out this weekend and is being done by club officials and players. That is the short version of the story I was told. For the second season running we miss out on the opening day of the season.
Because of this Warren has taken up the offer of a friendly at Valley Athletic this Wednesday.
Glantraeth have been drawn at home to Mochdre Sports in the Mawddach Cup and at home to Barmouth in the Cookson Cup. (SS)
(02/08/14) Glantraeth lost 4-3 to a really fired up Bethesda Athletic this afternoon and can only blame themselves, a complacent first half performance seeing them go three down despite having far more of the play. Manager Warren Gibbs will be much happier with the second half display that saw Glan in total control pulling goals back through Craig Roberts (2) & Rory Courlander and unlucky to twice be foiled by the woodwork. Pesda keeper Dave Clarke gave a man of the match display with Kieran Williams for the most part unemployed at the other end but the result was a wake up call for the far bigger challenges that lie ahead.
(02/08/14) Today's game against Bethesda Athletic is now being played at Glantraeth, 2.30 pm.
(30/07/14) A first half goal from Craig Roberts was enough to give Glantraeth a 1-0 win over Llanerchymedd in this evening's pre-season fixture.
(29/07/14) Glantraeth finish off pre-season with two games against Welsh Alliance Division Two opposition. Tomorrow night Llanerchymedd are the visitors. Referee is Allan Rowlands and kick-off is 6.30 pm. On Saturday Glan travel to Parc Meurig to face Bethesda Athletic. That one is a 2.30 pm kick-off.
(26/07/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 14, 17 & 18. There was no winner so the Jackpot rollsover to £1,000. The next draw is in the Royal Oak, Malltraeth on Saturday 9th August.
(24/07/14) It's difficult to keep track at present of what is going on in Welsh Alliance One. The league report that Bodedern Athletic have now withdrawn their resignation while Nefyn United have resigned and will play in the Gwynedd League. Kinmel Bay's ground is not ready for the start of the season therefore our first league game against them will now be at Glantraeth. I will update the fixtures when I find time. (SS)
(24/07/14) For the second successive Saturday we have had to pull out of a game, this time the visit of Trearddur Bay is off due to so many players not being available.
(23/07/14) Glantraeth played well in a comfortable 3-0 win over Mynydd Llandegai this evening, scorers Jamie Roberts (2) and Dylan Williams.
(23/07/14) Glantraeth are at home to Mynydd Llandegai this evening, 6.30 pm kick- off, and next Saturday sees the visit of Trearddur Bay United. That one kicks off at 2.30 pm.
(18/07/14) Tomorrow's scheduled game at home to Argoed United has been called off.
(16/07/14) Glantraeth made heavy weather of gaining a 1-0 win over a determined Menai Bridge Tigers side this evening. Despite cranking up the pressure after a goalless opening half it was only a cleverly finished goal by Malltraeth based Jamie Roberts on 47 minutes that proved the difference at the end of ninety minutes.
(15/07/14) Two home games coming up, Anglesey League Champions Menai Bridge Tigers are the visitors tomorrow. Referee is Allan Rowlands assisted by Dewi Morris and Andrew Dogan and kick-off is 6.30 pm. On Saturday we entertain Argoed United from the Welsh National League. Kick-off is 2.30 pm and the referee is Martin Roberts fresh from Europa League duty in Malta. Well done young Martin the world is your lobster, or is it oyster?
(12/07/14) The winning numbers in tonight's 3 Number Lotto draw were 9, 13 & 16. There was one winner, Carol Hughes of Newborough. The next draw is in the Joiners Arms, Malltraeth on Saturday 26th July.
(12/07/14) Missing several players through holidays Glantraeth lost 5-2 at home to Caernarfon Town this afternoon. Ryan Davies got on the scoresheet at both ends with Craig Roberts getting the other for Glan
(11/07/14) League fixtures have been published and our first game on Saturday 9 August is away to newly promoted Kinmel Bay and the following Saturday we travel to face the other promoted club, Penrhyndeudraeth. In between we are at home to Llanberis on the Wednesday evening.
(09/07/14) Cymru Alliance side Caernarfon Town are the first visitors to Glantraeth next Saturday. Referee is Allan Rowlands, kick-off is 2.30 pm and admission is £2.
(02/07/14) After falling behind early on Glantraeth went on to win 3-1 this evening at Cemaes Bay against a strong Ynys Mon Island Games squad. Scorers for Glan were Craig Roberts (2) & Steve Jones.
(29/06/14) Manager Warren Gibbs has arranged a pre-season game next Wednesday 2 July against an Island XI to be played at Cemaes Bay FC, kick-off 7 pm.

I wanted to make a peplum skirt so I went with the Kasia pattern and added a peplum to it. I know I could've used a basic pencil skirt pattern for this project. But, I don't print patterns at home very often and when I do, I try to find patterns that can be used for different things. I loved the original version and I will definitely be making this skirt as it was intended.

William Slater II Funeral Service
1650 Greentree Road
(412) 563-2800
View Map
Of Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania and Honor, Michigan passed away peacefully February 5, 2013. He was 77. Bob was born in Detroit in 1935, and spent nearly every summer of his life in northern Michigan. Over the years he developed a deep connection to the land and people in northern Michigan; this bond shaped both his career and his personal life. Bob earned his B.A. at Denison University in 1957 and his M.A. and Ph.D. in history at the University of Pennsylvania between 1958-1962. He followed this training with a long career as a university professor founded in a desire to share his love of people and history with others through his teaching and writing. Bob began teaching university courses in 1959 at the age of 23. He taught at Widener College, Swarthmore College, Douglass College of Rutgers University, University of Massachusetts, and finally the University of Pittsburgh where he was a beloved history professor for 45 years from 1968-2013. Bob started his academic career with an interest in United States religious history. After 1975, he primarily taught Native American history, environmental history, and environmental politics; along with a variety of other courses involving the recent history of the United States (such as Intellectual History, Sports in American Society, The Role of Rivers in American Development). Bob was a widely published and recognized historian. He authored four books: Not First in Nobody's Heart (co-authored with Ron Paquin); Disputed Waters: Native American Fishing Rights in the Great Lakes; Society and Power: A Comparative Study of Five Towns in Massachusetts, 1800-1860; and The Hicksite Separation: A Sociological Analysis of Religion in Early 19th Century America. Bob also published numerous articles in academic journals, and was awarded grants and fellowships from organizations such as the American Philosophical Society, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and National Endowment for the Humanities. Bob's colleagues, friends, and family remember him for possessing a strong sense of fairness and justice that was prevalent in the classroom and beyond. Indeed, Bob volunteered for many public service activities such as serving as an Advisor/Consultant to the Grand Traverse Band of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, and providing expert witness testimony in legal cases involving Great Lakes Indian treaty rights. When he wasn't in the classroom, Bob pursued his passion for the outdoors by exploring the woods, lakes, and rivers of northern Michigan and other wild places. In addition to hiking and canoeing throughout Michigan and New England, Bob enjoyed fishing in Michigan and Ontario, Canada. He was also an avid sailor, captaining a Sunfish sailboat many windy afternoons. Most importantly Bob was a valued friend, a supportive brother, a devoted and caring father, and a fun-loving grandfather. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Ken and Lucile Doherty. Bob is survived by his brother, Lynn Doherty; his sons, Robert G. Doherty and Ian Doherty; his daughter, Kathryn Doherty; and his granddaughters, Elizabeth Doherty and Sage Goodwin. He is already greatly missed by all. Friends are welcome to attend a celebration of Bob's life on March 8 at a remembrance held at Heinz Chapel in Oakland, PA from 1:30-3 p.m. and a gathering afterward from 3:30-5 at the University Club, 123 University Place, Oakland, PA. Arrangements entrusted to WILLIAM SLATER II FUNERAL SVC., 412-563-2800. Memorial contributions are welcome on Bob's behalf to the Benzie County Community Chest, P.O. Box 713, Beulah, MI 49617.

Blog Tags: Baltic Sea Salmon
CEO Note: Building a Better Baltic
The Baltic Sea is in terrible shape. One of the most polluted seas in the world, more than 90% of commercially exploitable species in the Baltic and the adjacent Kattegat are fished without any limits.
That changed last Friday when the authorities of Uusimaa and the Southeast Finland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment banned all wild sea trout fisheries in the Gulf of Finland. Wild sea trout is critically endangered in the Baltic Sea and has suffered under almost nonexistent management. Before the ban there was simply no limit to how much Baltic sea trout could be caught.
Meanwhile, the European Parliament recently announced that it would stake out a new, more responsible management strategy for Baltic Sea salmon, a fish hobbled, gravely in some areas, by similarly slipshod and unscientific management. Both developments are a validation of Oceana's hard work in the region.
Earlier this year, Oceana's research vessel, the Hanse Explorer, set off for a six-week expedition to the Baltic and Kattegat seas. The purpose of that trip was to document and map vulnerable areas and to study the marine life of these brackish waters through extensive sampling, as well as dives by remote operated vehicle and scuba divers (such as Oceana senior advisor Alexandra Cousteau who joined the cruise). This work will be crucial moving forward as the region works to rebuild its ailing fisheries, and it's already started to pay off.
With the EU and Baltic countries signaling a renewed commitment to the stewardship of this unique but imperiled ecosystem there is very real hope that it can recover. But that will require the vigilance of Europe's leaders and citizens, and of organizations like Oceana, which has been leading the charge in the effort to save the Baltic.

Movie Reviews The Informant!
Picture: Matt Damon New York Premiere of 'The Informant' shown at the Ziegfield theater New York City, USA - 15.09.09
Matt Damon is anything but the glamorous. buffed-up hunk he has played in his previous films in The Informant! And almost every critic comments on his metamorphosis into a bland, paunchy (he reportedly gained 30 pounds for the movie), corporate executive who blew the whistle on the Archer Daniels Midland conglomerate while embezzling money from it in the process. Damon gets high marks from critics. Carrie Rickey comments in the Philadelphia Inquirer "Damon's performance is worth watching even as his character exhausts us with half-truths and whole lies." "Matt Damon is goofy perfection," writes Lou Lumenick in the New York Post. "Matt Damon delivers comedic gold," says Peter Howell in the Toronto Star . It all works to the benefit of the film itself, Michael Sragow observes in the Baltimore Sun . "At its peak, it's a crackpot character comedy," he writes. And Ty Burr in the Boston Globe concludes "That the movie works as well as it does is due to Matt Damon."

Cricket in Jammu and Kashmir has struggled against the odds for decades, but with poster boy Abid Nabi ready to take the step up to the big league, things may be about to take a turn for the better
Nagraj Gollapudi
How one young man's success is turning cricket in his state around
Abid Nabi is 20. He stands 6 feet 2 inches tall, has wide, strong shoulders, and wants to bowl fast. A year ago he caught Dennis Lillee's attention at an MRF Pace foundation bowling camp. Lillee alerted Greg Chappell, and soon Nabi was bowling in the India nets.
He is nippy, bowls with a smooth and clean action, and along with Punjab's VRV Singh, who has already played for the country, he represents hope for Indian cricket in its quest for that ever-elusive species: the genuine fast bowler.
But Nabi is not merely a fast-bowling prospect. He may not be aware of it, and may not want to contemplate the significance of it, but it is more than merely India's fast-bowling hopes that are riding on his shoulders.
Nabi is no ordinary cricketer. He represents Jammu and Kashmir, a state locked in a bloody conflict over identity, one where the concepts of patriotism and nationalism are shrouded in grey, and where overt allegiance to the Indian mainstream brings perils. For years Jammu and Kashmir has had only a token presence in the Ranji Trophy. No international match has been played in the state since 1986. Rains forced the abandonment of the fifth ODI of the India-New Zealand series in Jammu in 1988. No cricketer from the state has ever come close to being picked for India.
Much depends on whether Nabi succeeds. It could potentially revive cricket in Kashmir. More importantly, he can be a bridge, a symbol. That cricket can heal was demonstrated by India's historic tour to Pakistan in 2004. During that last international in Srinagar in 1986, the crowd cheered for the visiting side, Australia. Would they do the same if Nabi is part of the team?
Ghulam Nabi Ahanger, Nabi's father, has always been a keen follower of cricket. In 1983, when international cricket came to Jammu and Kashmir for the first time, he bought a 50-rupee ticket to watch India play Clive Lloyd's West Indies. But more than a decade later, when his son started showing a liking for the game, he tried to dissuade him.
The Nabis, who come from fairly humble circumstances, felt there was no scope in taking sport seriously, especially in troubled times. "We thought then that education was the best option for our children," Ahanger says over tea at the family's three-storey house in Srinagar, which they share with three of Nabi's maternal uncles and their families.
In the beginning Nabi did not think of playing cricket for a living. But as encouragement came his way from his coach and senior team-mates, he began to dare to hope. "I became hopeful that I can become someone and get good things," he says.
In the limited opportunities he has found to play for his state, he has already made some strides. This season he narrowly missed out on a place in the Challenger Series teams and the North Zone Duleep Trophy squad.
Bowling in the nets at Mohali, in the presence of his heroes, Nabi learned valuable lessons. "Every senior told me to look after my physical fitness, and that if I continued to work hard, I could get a chance anytime."
Does Nabi's ambition go against the grain of the local thinking in his state? Does it mark a departure from a way of life that is thought to be conditioned towards seeking azaadi from the Indian mainstream?
That India is taking its place as a global economic power is not lost on young Kashmiris, who are ready to take risks to better their lot
Ehsan Mirza, the treasurer at the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) doesn't think so. Mirza's family owns a successful carpet business, and Mirza also runs the popular Amateur Cricket Club (ACC), where Nabi, among others, plays. Mirza says that at this point in time he perceives no opposition to Nabi - or anyone else from the state - playing for India. "The state's politics has never influenced JKCA matters," he says. Dar Yasin, who took the photographs that accompany this feature, quit playing cricket after a police encounter near where they were playing a Sunday match in the early 1990s left one dead. He thinks the common man is getting increasingly desperate to see a Kashmiri face in the Indian dressing room. "People have been complaining for a long time that nobody has been selected from Kashmir. There've been some good players, but they were rejected on the basis of being Kashmiri," he says.
Terrorism has ripped holes in the delicate fabric of Kashmir's beauty. It has dried up investment and employment opportunities that may otherwise have come the state's way. That India is taking its place as a global economic power is not lost on young Kashmiris, who are ready to take risks to better their lot.
Samiullah Beigh, 20, a tall, upcoming fast bowler, and Nabi's team-mate, thinks they can't move forward by playing safe all the time. "If I want to be a great player, I have to sacrifice something." Beigh is in his final year at engineering college, and aims to devote all his time to the game once he graduates.
Mirza understands that if things don't improve in the state's cricket soon, youngsters will start looking elsewhere. "They are very ambitious and try to excel at everything they do," he says. The Nabis are impatient too. They have gone through hardship, lived with fear - and continue to do so. Now there is hope, in the form of their son. They cherish dreams of the day when he finally plays for the country and makes Kashmir proud.
Will Nabi live up to the expectations and turn into India's next pace sensation? Only time will tell. For now, he is the poster boy of Jammu and Kashmir cricket and has become something of a benchmark.
Nineteen-year-old Mohammed Mudasir, who started to take a serious interest in the game two years ago, and attended the MRF camp in 2006, says his parents are now asking him to work harder and follow Nabi's example.
Nabi understands the responsibilities of being a role model. Sitting on the grass at the picturesque Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium, he talks of how happy he feels when young cricketers approach him for advice. He himself hardly had the benefit of such inputs when he was rising through the ranks.
For every Nabi who makes it to the verge of the big time, there are dozens who fall by the way. The lush environs of Jammu and Kashmir have produced abundant talent, but it has often withered away for want of nurture.
Players such as Abdul Qayyum Bagoo and Surinder Singh Bagal - who Sourav Ganguly once said was the fastest bowler he had faced - may not have become household names, but they did make it to the fringes of national selection. They may have gone all the way had they had support. Who knows what such talent would have achieved with proper guidance?
"We were sidelined because we came from a weaker state," says Idrees Gundroo, a Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler of the 1980s. "Had we got these opportunities now, as the board is giving these days, we would've made it to a decent level." It is only now that the likes of Nabi have Farooq Abdullah, the JKCA President, throwing their weight behind them.
Still, being a cricketer in Kashmir is hardly easy. The years of conflict have taken their toll. The JKCA has been reduced to a two-room office after the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) took over the complex. Cricketers have to walk past hoops of barbed wire that cordon off the association's premises. CRPF jawans stand guard outside, not letting even officials and players in without identity cards.
Apart from the pitch at the Sher-i-Kashmir, which was once fast and is now flat, the entire Kashmir region doesn't have a single turf wicket. Back in 1996, when after a seven-year lull some senior cricketers and JKCA officials came together to get cricket going at the stadium again, they found it difficult to locate the playing square under the grass, which had grown two-feet tall.
Sher-i-Kashmir continues to languish: the wicket lies barren; the stands are the ones that were installed for the first time in 1983; the scoreboard is lost among the branches of the beautiful Chinar trees that circle the ground; there are no toilets or drainage facilities, no dressing room for the players, no showers. The B ground adjacent to the main one has two practice wickets, but both of cement.
The JKCA says its hands are tied since nothing can be done without the army's permission, even if it is the association that owns the land. Mirza says the JKCA has been asking the security forces to vacate the premises for the last six years in vain.
As an alternative arrangement, Mirza has signed a contract with Kashmir University (KU) under which the JKCA will maintain and use the university's two grounds for the next three years. A new turf wicket and two practice wickets have already been constructed at the KU grounds for the use of the ACC.
It may be too little too late, though. Their patience wearing thin, the likes of Nabi and Beigh are now looking to play outside the state as much as possible. Nabi made his Times Shield debut this year in Mumbai. He thinks playing outside the state more "will fast-forward my development".
Says Beigh, "Earlier we used to play just for the sake of pride and honour and it was a big thing to play one match for the state. Now, after being at the MRF for four months, I am more hungry to prove myself on the national front. I never felt the other bowlers [at MRF] were any special."
If Nabi does eventually make it to the Indian side, he could be the harbinger of a new chapter in the history of Jammu and Kashmir cricket. "If we get one break - Nabi - then there will be a stream of players following him," Mirza says. Abdul Majid Kakroo, the former India football captain, who played between 1981 and 1989, and once was on a terrorist hitlist, says sport can only help unite. "If Nabi goes on to play for India, it will silence the skeptics who feel that India treats Kashmir as an outsider."
As for Nabi himself, he only wants to take his state forward. Kashmir is the rabbit of Indian domestic cricket and Nabi aims to change that. "I want Jammu and Kashmir to move forward. Aage ka toh pata nahin (I don't about what will happen in the future)."

South Korean soccer player to get Olympic medal
A South Korean soccer player who displayed a political banner at the London Olympics will get his bronze medal back, the IOC announced Tuesday.
AP Sports Writer
A South Korean soccer player who displayed a political banner at the London Olympics will get his bronze medal back, the IOC announced Tuesday.
Park Jong-woo was issued with just a warning for his actions after his team's 2-0 victory over Japan, the IOC executive board ruled. South Korea's Olympic committee will be warned and required to educate its athletes about competition rules.
Park must receive his medal "without fanfare or publicity," as a condition of the sanction, International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said.
The IOC withheld Park's medal after the Aug. 10 match pending a disciplinary hearing, which was held Monday in Lausanne.
Park displayed a sign in national colors after the game in Cardiff, Wales, which was played amid sensitive diplomatic relations at home.
The slogan said "Dokdo is our territory" in Korean to support his country's sovereignty over islets also claimed by Japan.
IOC and FIFA rules prohibit on-field political statements, but South Korean officials argued Park had not planned a protest and merely picked up a banner thrown on the field by a fan.
"It was obvious he didn't make a political statement," IOC disciplinary panel chairman Thomas Bach told The Associated Press. "He was very fair with a Japan player who was sitting on the ground weeping after the match.
"You can see from this gesture he had nothing against Japanese people," Bach said.
FIFA previously banned Park for two World Cup qualifiers in its own investigation of the case. He will serve his suspension when South Korea hosts Qatar on March 26 and plays at Lebanon on June 4.
The 23-year-old midfielder was selected for the national team weeks after the Olympics and played in a World Cup qualifier against Iran in October.
FIFA also warned South Korea's soccer federation about future sanctions if the actions were repeated.
At Park's hearing Monday, South Korean Olympic officials accepted that team leaders "did not properly advise all of its players" about complying with game-time rules of conduct.
Hours before kickoff last August, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak traveled to the islets where his country stations a small contingent of police officers in a show of control. The presidential visit prompted Japan to recall its ambassador from Seoul.

After slamming Britney Spears in an interview over her lip-sync performances, Ke$ha is once again overheard blasting the "Circus" singer. This time around, the "Blah Blah Blah" hitmaker is dissing Britney in a song called "Styrofoam".
"In 10 years, Britney Spears...Britney, who?," so the lyrics which take aim at the pop singer heard at around 2:15 mark. "Styrofoam" reportedly is an unreleased song which was leaked from Ke$ha's "Animal" recording session.
"I don't think that's fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance," Ke$ha previously told the Daily Record. "It's treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing."

Electric utilities that may not appear attractive on a "standalone basis" could become attractive takeover targets because of their location, according to PaineWebber's Electric Utility Monthly...
Competition, Convergence...and Cashflow?
a dozen years, rate-based generation will form a tiny portion of total generation. The rate-based sales function will have practically withered away, and traditional service areas will be blurred. A largely unregulated generating industry will emerge to serve the unregulated energy bulk and retail sales industries. The ratio of dedicated, term sales (to one or two large buyers, such as utilities, municipal distribution companies, and other buying authorities) to total power sales will decline inexorably. Merchant sales and merchant power plants will dominate.
Merchant plants are balance-sheet financed, with 40 to 45 percent equity and senior debt backed by corporate guarantees. The plants manage a portfolio of sales contracts (ranging from one day to perhaps 10 years) as well as a portfolio of fuel- and risk-management contracts, with no assured revenues for the term of the senior debt.
New generating capacity will be dominated by the combined-cycle gas turbine, and an increasing share of this capacity will be merchant. The first grassroots, merchant, gas-turbine units (in the 100- to 300-megawatt range) will be ready to deploy in three to four years. Merchant plant planning will be quite a growth industry in the next 18 months.
The new power industry will exhibit a new structure:
s GemCos. A few enormous gas/electric manufacturing companies with over $20 billion in production assets will emerge.
s Commodity Players. Several commodity generating companies ($5 to $10 billion in assets) will be built around the assets of existing independent power companies (IPPs) and spun-off utility assets (almost all thermal units, most coal-fired).
s Niche Players. Scores, if not hundreds, of niche generating companies will appear (em ranging from just one to dozens of units, and from a few million to over $1 billion in assets.
s Captives. Captive generation will provide system support for regulated energy network companies.
s Nonplayers. Scattered captive generation will reside in the hands of regulated energy logistics companies (for reasons both logical and unfathomable).
s NuCos. The special-purpose nuclear operating company will appear, a transitional corporate form that will prove essentially self-liquidating.
Scores of existing, project-financed generating plants (QFs and IPPs) will likely be economically and technologically obsolete by end of century, with equity and junior debt extinguished and a portion of the senior debt erased. Many others will seek to reposition themselves as merchant units; less than half will have the right combination of location, fuel and transportation portfolio, heat rates, and operation and maintenance costs, since this is not the purpose for which they were originally configured. The remaining project-financed units (em through a happy confluence of depreciated book value, debt paydown, location, technology, and fuel choice (em will do well and create substantial additional value for current owners.
Existing generating plants (em corporate or balance-sheet financed (em (almost always owned by a utility or major oil company) will experience mixed results. A surprisingly large proportion of the thermal units may actually earn windfall gains when marked to market, despite their generally poor heat rates; others (the break-even prospects) will prove to be sound competitors after a modest one-time write-down. The
