Padovani makes Pompey move
Thu, 09 May 2013 17:14:00
Phil Jagielka has called on Everton to ensure that they kick on again this summer once David Moyes heads for Manchester United.
It has been a whirlwind 24 hours for all concerned at Goodison Park, with it announced on Thursday that Moyes is to succeed retiring Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
He has agreed a six-year contract with the Red Devils and will officially take their reins on 1st July.
Moyes will see out the 2012/13 campaign with Everton, with there still two games to come, and it is important for them to end the season as positively as possible.
The challenge facing the Toffees then will be to find a suitable replacement for Moyes and to continue to build on the positive foundations he has put in place over the last 11 years.
Jagielka is convinced they can do just that, telling Everton's official website: "Like the rest of the squad I have nothing but the highest regard for David Moyes.
"He is a first class operator on and off the training ground and on behalf of the players I would like to place on record my thanks for the work he has done improving the team.
"It was as much of a shock to the dressing room as I'm sure it was to Everton and our fans.
"All the lads wish him the very best for the future but we still have two important Premier League games to play and all our attentions will be focused on winning against West Ham and at Chelsea.
"Once the season is over we can collectively look forward in order to ensure we continue to build on the positive work of the past few seasons."
Third-placed Caley Thistle are looking to remain in pole position for a Europa League spot when they host United on Saturday and could wrap up their first European qualification if St Johnstone lose at Celtic Park earlier on.
Butcher has overseen a dramatic change in fortunes for a side which found themselves bottom of the table for a long spell during an injury crisis early last season.
And he believes his players will relish being in such a heady position in the penultimate match of the season, rather than fear the consequences of defeat.
Butcher, whose side edged a seven-goal thriller against Motherwell last weekend, said: "We have only lost three games at home this season - two to Celtic and one to Motherwell and they are the top two teams.
"It's been a remarkable run. If you look at last year we lost the first three home games. It's been a massive turnaround in fortune, style of play and attitude.
"This is not pressure, it's pleasure. It's pleasure being where we are and a pleasure winning, and hopefully we can replicate that on Saturday.
"The key thing for the players is to have no regrets - to go out and enjoy it, and win."
The striker has impressed while on loan at the Edinburgh club and was voted PFA Scotland young player of the year by his fellow professionals on Sunday.
Parent club Wolves ultimately have the final say on his future with a one-year option on his contract at Molineux.
However, former Hibs boss Collins says the best option for the 22-year-old could be an extended stay in the SPL.
The former Scotland midfielder said: "From an international point of view, if he's playing in the SPL and scoring goals every week, then Gordon Strachan is going to be aware of him.
"I don't think it really matters where you are.
"If you are playing well and scoring a lot of exceptional goals, then there is a good chance the Scotland manager will have his eye on you.
"He's a good fit for Hibs. He's the main man, he's very comfortable and relaxed and he knows the team needs him and he knows the fans love him.
"He's in a comfort zone - but a good comfort zone.
"I think if he goes down south he will be outside his comfort zone and I wouldn't bet money on him being a huge success.
"He's got talent, he's a good football player and he's got self-belief, which is so important."
Griffiths made his international debut in a friendly against Luxembourg last November.
The views of Collins were echoed by Strachan's predecessor Craig Levein.
He said: "When you're the Scotland manager, you get advice from a lot of people, as you can imagine.
"You have to use your own judgement and I feel, this season, in my eyes, he has become more of a team member than he'd been previously.
"He's working harder and I think he is getting the rewards for that and Hibs are getting the rewards.
"I've no doubt, if he continues in the vein that he's going, that Gordon will have a look at him and he might get a few games coming up."
The 29-year-old, who left Oxford at the end of the season, made 157 appearances for the Pilgrims between 2001 and 2008.
That spell at Home Park came to an end after he was found guilty of causing the death by dangerous driving of two children.
Following his release from jail in 2008 the shotstopper returned to football with Truro before signing for the U's in January.
"Although Luke made a dreadful mistake with unthinkable consequences, he has served his time and is totally remorseful," said Argyle chairman James Brent.
"While I respect others who have alternative views, from a moral standpoint, the board and I think Luke is entitled to rehabilitation.
"John Sheridan wanted to sign him and the club is totally supportive of that."
A statement on Argyle's official website revealed that, as part of the deal, McCormick will donate a significant sum of money and give his time to support a local children's charity.
The Bulgarian midfielder, who was diagnosed with the condition in March last year and is now in remission, on Thursday announced he will retire.
Tributes poured in for the fans' favourite, with former Celtic team-mate Lambert describing his friend as a "fantastic player" and "a nice guy with a heart of gold".
Petrov's priority will now be his health and work for his leukaemia charity, but Lambert revealed he is already mulling over a role for the popular captain.
"He'll be missed here but the door will always be open for him," said the Scot.
"I have some things in my head which I'm running over.
"I've something in my head I'm thinking about at the minute and it's not a sentimental thing at all. It's just some things my staff and myself spoken about, they know what I think."
Petrov will lead Villa out for their traditional lap of appreciation after Saturday's final home game against Chelsea.
Villa fans and their opposition counterparts have shown support for Petrov with 60 seconds of applause in the 19th minute of every game since he fell ill, in tribute to his squad number. Lambert knows Saturday's farewell will be particularly poignant.
"For him to lead out the team will be a great occasion," said the Villa boss.
"I think it will be pretty emotional for him when he does it on Saturday."
Lambert added: "Not having him around here during his illness has been huge blow, it can never be underestimated.
"Him not playing has been massive for this club. Having to try to replace someone like that - a footballer who is a fantastic player - has been hard.
"He has a heart of gold, he's nice guy. I knew him since he was 19 years of age and he first came to Glasgow and I had a good friendship with him.
"I played with him for nine years and he was always someone you knew you needed to be in the trenches with you."
In a statement released by Villa, 33-year-old Petrov, who signed for Villa from Celtic in 2006, said: "I've never been a person for making grand statements.
"I've only ever got on with my job, while remaining grateful to have great team-mates, great people around me and, most of all, a fantastic family.
"They have been powerful pillars of support when I have needed them most over the past year.
"To my wife, Paulina, and my sons, Kristiyan and Stiliyan, I love you very much and I will always for your constant love and support.
"Also to my mum and dad, my brother and Paulina's mum and the people who have been closest to me throughout this time - you know who you are and I love you all.
"Each and every day I thank God for giving me the opportunity to still be with my family.
"Football has been the other great love of my life, so it is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my retirement from the game.
"The emotions are overwhelming really, but the continued support of family, friends and the great people I have come to know will make it easier for me to move on from the only life I've ever known."
Supporters had also been planning further tributes at the last game of the season at Wigan.
Fans were planning to wear Villa, Celtic or Bulgaria kits and hold banners displaying 'Petrov 19'.
Petrov said: "I wish to thank the fans of Aston Villa and the Villa chairman, Randy Lerner, chief executive Paul Faulkner and manager Paul Lambert, also the fans of Celtic, the Bulgarian fans and fans of football all over the world who have helped me through the past year with their incredible displays of support and with their personal, moving messages.
"I would also like to thank all of the managers I have worked under and all of the team-mates I have played alongside."
The Blues' longest-serving player has made 289 appearances since joining from Ipswich in 2003 and the new deal entitles the fans' favourite to a testimonial as reward for his loyalty.
The 29-year-old had suffered a frustrating season because of injury but he is targeting a pre-season return.
"Nine-and-a-half years is quite a big chunk of your life to spend at one club so I'm delighted to be offered the opportunity to extend that for another year," he told Chairboys Player.
"I'm proud and honoured to have been able to have spent 10 years at one place, it's a big deal and to have spent it here is an even bigger deal.
"Some of the names that have achieved that and had a testimonial here over the years are big names within the club's history and I'm really proud and honoured to go into my testimonial year.
"I've been in the gym nearly every day and I'm working as hard as I possibly can to get fit as soon as I can."
The 24-year-old is approaching the end of his season-long loan at Upton Park from Liverpool and, despite a couple of injury setbacks earlier in the campaign, the England international has impressed during his time in east London.
It remains to be seen if Carroll will pen a permanent deal with the Hammers, with financial constraints and a yearning from the player to prove himself at Anfield likely stumbling blocks.
But the former Newcastle striker, who was named as co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold's player of the year at West Ham's awards on Wednesday night, admits he has had a great season.
"Coming down here to London, it's a long way from home but I've enjoyed every minute of it," he told West Ham TV.
"I knew a few of the lads down here already and all the others have welcomed me into the squad, so it's been great.
"It doesn't really matter what happens, I will work hard for the team I am playing for. This season has been great for me.
"When I'm fit, I try my hardest and I run about and put myself about and I feel that's what I'm about - if I didn't have that then I would have lost half of my game."
Two years ago, success in the competition heralded City's arrival among the elite of the English game.
Their Wembley victory over Stoke ended a 35-year trophy drought and they followed up by winning the Premier League in dramatic fashion last year.
The mood has changed this season as a result of failure to defend the title and disappointment in the Champions League, and consequently the FA Cup has had the feel of a consolation prize.
Kompany disputes that and, as City prepare to face Wigan at the national stadium, he is determined to made the most of the occasion.
The Belgium defender said: "Every single time it is something very special.
"You shouldn't take these kind of games for granted, they don't always keep coming.
"It is unbelievable for us to do it again, and for the fans it is unbelievable as well.
"We have to be respectful of every trophy we can get. If we win this one it will be massive for the club and something to cherish.
"If you win a trophy you should celebrate it, you consider it as a great achievement."
City began the season as favourites for the Premier League and confident of making an impact in Europe.
But their title hopes were comprehensively dashed by Manchester United and they finished bottom of their Champions League group.
Despite that, they look secure in second place in the table - last season aside, a position not attained since 1977 - and winning silverware would still constitute success.
Kompany said: "You can always do better and we have got next season to do that.
"You have to be respectful of what the FA Cup represents.
"If you win trophies it is something that will be remembered forever."
City are firm favourites with Wigan's progress to the final having been overshadowed by their struggle to avoid relegation.
Latics suffered a damaging defeat to Swansea in midweek and remain adrift of safety but, as they continue to earn plaudits for their style, Kompany remains wary of Roberto Martinez's men.
The 27-year-old said: "They are one of the more difficult sides we have played this season.
"You can see it's a team that doesn't fear keeping possession.
"When it's going well for them they are a very difficult team to play against. We have to be careful.
"When they played at Etihad, they were really good and caused us a lot of trouble.
"But we managed it really well in the end. We didn't concede and we won the game.
"I think they are a good team and if people think they will be easy then it is a mistake."
While Wigan toiled against Swansea on Tuesday, City were able to rest several players in their fixture against West Brom.
Manager Roberto Mancini made eight changes with Kompany among the key players left out.
Yaya Toure, Pablo Zabaleta and Gael Clichy were also given the night off while Sergio Aguero and David Silva did not get off the bench.
There was some concern about Toure, with the influential midfielder having also been withdrawn at half-time of last week's game at Swansea through fatigue, but he has declared himself fit.
The 29-year-old, who scored the winner against Stoke in 2011, said: "I am good. Sometimes it is difficult to play all the games at the same level and sometimes you can get an injury.
"But we have worked on that, trying to keep injury far away and try to concentrate on delivering at the weekend.
"I am already fit. I started training three days ago and I am well in now.
"I want to deliver a good game and help the team to achieve something important."
Winger Scott Sinclair is out of contention after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot in shoulder but otherwise City have no major injury concerns.
Back-up goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon is expected to be selected ahead of England number one Joe Hart having played in all the previous rounds.
Midfielder James Milner believes cup success can be the springboard for more glory next season.
Milner, speaking at the club's pre-match media day, said: "We are bitterly disappointed how the league went this year.
"The main thing is that we win a piece of silverware at the weekend, do that and take the momentum of winning a trophy into next season and have a good league campaign.
"It's tough to get to any final. There's one game standing between you and a piece of silverware and it's an awesome feeling to win it."
Moyes, 50, has been given a six-year contract at Old Trafford while Sir Alex Ferguson will remain at the club as a director and ambassador.
Hodgson believes that will prove a help rather than a hindrance to Moyes.
He told talkSPORT: "I'm sure that being available for the new man he will be a Godsend in that respect because there is nothing he doesn't know about football and Manchester United.
"The amount of time he has given to younger managers in terms of advice and support, and the support he has given to the LMA (League Managers' Association) to protect those managers, you don't expect that from someone at the very top of his profession."
Hodgson also paid tribute to Ferguson and insisted that too much has been made of his qualities as a strict disciplinarian.
He added: "For me it's also his human qualities and I think those two are linked together, you don't become that successful and have such great relationships and build such good teams if you are just a so-called disciplinarian and hard worker.
"You also have to have a lot of human qualities so that people can relate to you and warm to you and I think Alex has that quality in abundance.
"I think that his enthusiasm and his energy are as great as ever and I am certain that won't diminish.
"His footballing qualities and everything he has achieved are never going to be equalled. The epithet 'the greatest' is very well deserved."
Chelsea's interim manager Rafael Benitez was a Merseyside rival of Moyes during his time as Liverpool manager and has also had a tempestuous relationship with Ferguson over the years.
He sees a good fit between Moyes and his new club but, perhaps unsurprisingly, stopped short of offering a gushing endorsement.
"He's a good manager," said the Spaniard. "I think that he will have a very good team, so I'm sure he will compete at the top and he can win trophies with a big club.
"It's not easy to find someone like Ferguson, but he's a manager with experience in the Premier League. He knows the players, he knows the club and the Premier League.
"It could be a good appointment, but it takes time to say."
Former United defender Henning Berg, meanwhile, believes Moyes is the perfect candidate to take on the enormous task of replacing Ferguson.
The Norwegian is an admirer of the way Moyes has gone about his business during an 11-year stay at Goodison Park and believes he could even bring some playing talent with him.
England left-back Leighton Baines has been strongly linked with the Red Devils before and Marouane Fellaini is known to covet a move to a title-chasing side.
"David Moyes is a very good choice," said Berg. "He's very similar to Ferguson as a manager.
"He's shown at Everton what he can do with limited resources and he will look to lead the club in the same way.
"Of course he might want to bring one or two (Everton) players with him but I don't think there will be too many changes.
"Most things are working at United at the moment so it's a smooth transition."
Brighton boss Gus Poyet, whose side are in the npower Championship play-offs, believes Ferguson will cast a long shadow for years to come.
"After Alex Ferguson, football in England is going to be different because of the personality, the power, the leadership and everything he has done in football," the Uruguayan said at a press conference.
"I am sure the Premier League next year is going to be totally different. Something is going to be missing.
"You cannot copy, you cannot get another Alex Ferguson. There is only one."
One player who will end up as a footnote in the Ferguson era is Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. He will join the Red Devils in the summer and will go down as Ferguson's final signing.
His Palace boss Ian Holloway said: "It's the end of an era. A fantastic, great man who will bow out at the top. The best manager in my lifetime has suddenly stopped.
"I feel sad for Wilf as well as I'm sure he wanted one or two seasons with him.
"I had a chat with Wilf and I'm sure when it all settles down they will be in touch. He goes down as Sir Alex's last ever signing - it's not a bad one."
Moyes can build a "master and apprentice" relationship with predecessor Ferguson, according to former England boss Steve McClaren.
McClaren knows plenty about working closely with Ferguson, having served as assistant boss at Old Trafford for two-and-a-half years and he believes outgoing Everton chief Moyes is an inspired choice by the Red Devils.
Ferguson will not sever his 26-year association with the club completely, instead operating as both director and ambassador, and McClaren thinks the relationship between the two men will be key to success of the transition.
"I think it's a fantastic appointment," he told Sky Sports News.
"He has a near identical work ethic, character, competitiveness to that of Sir Alex but he's got that longevity at Everton - to build a club and sustain that success year in, year out, at their level.
"The key thing is he will have Sir Alex at the side of him and if they get on, as I know they do, it's the master and the apprentice.
"He has to be open to that help. The experience Sir Alex has got will be invaluable."
Ferguson's epic reign at United is widely considered to be an unmatchable feat in the modern game, but McClaren expects Moyes to be around for a long time to come.
"For football in general, it brings a bit of sanity back to the game," he said.
"United had a plan. It's not about short-term success, it's not about sustaining it for the next one or two years, it's the next 26 years.
"He could be the next manager to do that. That's how they're thinking."
The Greece international, 28, arrived at Parkhead on loan from Manchester City in January 2008, before signing a permanent deal the following summer, and is now the longest-serving player at the club aside from skipper Scott Brown.
While speculation surrounds the future of Hoops players such as Gary Hooper, Victor Wanyama and Fraser Forster, Samaras is "fully committed" to the Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions and will discuss an extension to his current deal, which finishes next year, at a time to suit both parties.
Speaking at Lennoxtown ahead of Saturday's SPL clash with St Johnstone at Parkhead, he said: "I have one more year of my contract and hopefully I will be here next season.
"Six years is a lot but it has gone in so fast and when you feel good at the club, people are looking after you and you feel you are part of a big family, I cannot see a reason to leave.
"But it is too soon to speak about a contract. When they are ready and I am ready then we will have a chat.
"But we have plenty of time, don't worry."
On the theme of possible changes at the Parkhead club, Samaras is not surprised that boss Neil Lennon has been linked with the vacant managerial post at Everton, following David Moyes' imminent departure to take over from soon-to-be-retired Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
He said: "I haven't heard anything but all I can say is that when you are playing at a high level like the Champions League and doing well then for sure people will come and watch the players or the manager or whoever is part of the team.
"That is normal. When you are doing well when people will come and watch you.
"But I don't know what he is thinking or what he wants to do."
Samaras is looking forward to Celtic being presented with the SPL trophy on Saturday, before they turn their attentions to the William Hill Scottish Cup final against Hibernian at Hampden Park later in the month.
"It is a great day for everyone, for all the hard work we have put in all season," said Samaras, who was recently voted player of the year by the club's supporters.
"It is day when the fans and enjoy the game, there is no pressure, just a celebration.
"Our mentality is to go and win every game. I know in the last couple of games we didn't have the best results but to be honest we are really focused for the cup final.
"It would be great to win the cup. Everybody is looking forward to that game."I have been six years at the club and I haven't done the double and I think now is the perfect timing."
Meanwhile, French defender Steven Mouyokolo has been training with the Celtic squad at Lennoxtown.
The 26-year-old centre-back is a free agent after his contract with Wolves was terminated by mutual consent in January.
Free agent Padovani, 23, has signed a two-year contract with Pompey following his recent release from Monaco.
Pompey manager Guy Whittingham said: "We were alerted to Romain by Yassin (Moutaouakil's) agent. He came over to train with us and we could immediately see he was a decent player.
"He's hungry and that's the most important thing - he wants to come here and be successful. He's come through the Monaco system, so that tells you that he has to be a good player."
Moutaouakil has signed a new one-year deal with the club after making 19 appearances during the second half of the season.
The 26-year-old defender arrived from Hayes & Yeading in January and was a regular in Whittingham's starting line-up.
"Yassin got better as the season progressed and when he was playing at his best there weren't many who could get past him," Whittingham added.
Pompey signed striker Patrick Agyemang on a permanent basis on Wednesday following his loan spell with the club and defenders Sonny Bradley and Danny East arrived earlier on Thursday following their release from Hull.

Any good micro breweries over there? Just kidding. Two weeks in the heat of shanghai. Under the gun, no host to help with translating. Should be exciting. SNAFU. I love my job.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
-Henry David Thoreau
I just got back from there, and translation may not be a big problem. Many of them speak English, some aren't great, but with a little patience you can communicate. Didn't find any great beers, but got along fine with their lagers. Tsingtao was pretty good along with Snow. The Budweiser tasted different, and the cans took me back a few years, they still have the old pull tabs. I brought a few of them back for decoration in the bar. Knee How!
FERMENTING: BCS Black Forest Stout, Two Hearted Ale Clone
ON TAP: Dry Irish Stout, Epic Pale Ale Clone, BM's Cent Blonde, Blackfoot River IPA, Racer 5 IPA clone with homegrown hops, Oatmeal Chocolate Stout, Threee Floyd's Gumball head clone, Moose Drools Clone
ON DECK: Saison, Pliny the Elder clone
Safe travels mate.
Where are you staying in Shanghai? It is a damn big place.
Hey, knock that shvt off. We're drinkin' here.
Well I made it safe and sound. Staying in Pudong, diamond court. All the swine flu precautions get a bit old, but I guess better safe than sorry. It would truly suck if they let it get into the rural population.
So far it was hot as hell when I landed, and we have had some thunderboomers this evening. Off to work first thing in the am. No rest for the wicked.
Ps. Drinking my first Tsing Tao....ehhh...not bad. But not great. The Johny walker was good though.
If anyone who has been here has any must see sights let me know I will have some free time to do some sight seeing in the next two weeks.
I've been there several times but have not had the opportunity to do much sight seeing. The Jade Palace is very cool. Of course, you should cruise around the Bund.
If you're into electronics and gadgety, there is a massive electronics market next to the Intercontinental in Pudong. The prices will absolutley blow your mind. Also, check out the "fake market," which is in one of the Pudong subway stations. I picked up a bitchin Gortex NorthFace jacket there for $40.
One of the coolest things to see in Shanghai is the city itself at night. Check out the Peace Bar (?) at one of the hotels on the Bund. Incredible view of the city and river. Just rolling around on the elevated roadways is pretty awesome. The architecture in that city is amazing.
Be sure to take the MagLev back to the airport. There is a station in Pudong.
And, whatever happens, don't let them take you to Julu Lu Rd!!! (evil grin here)
EDIT: I as gonna add a pic but it looks like I need to re-up my membership.
So here I am on my own in Shanghai. Miserable hot days working in a pharmaceutical lab with no AC, feeling like I have been kidnapped. Day three and I am still not loving life at all. SWMBO is pregnant and emotional back in the states. Skype connection is ok at times but frustrates me most times.
I either stay up late, or wake up early to talk to the people back home to help with issues here. Last night I went to bed at almost 3am, was up at 7am to head back to the lab. Today I laid down the law. Told the customers there wasn't anything I could do for their problem. Long story, suffice it to say it's not our equipment. They weren't happy. I left.
Decided to wander shanghai on my lonesome. Taxi driver didn't understand a damn thing I tried to explain in horrible, Americanized Chinese. The day ended well. I replaced my Ultimate ears that got broke on the flight over, I did some exploration. And look what I found. Normally I don't frequent this place in the states but in this place I couldn't resist.
LOL nice pictures. I hope you drank your weight in beer.
Key phrases here ( I spent nearly a year between Shanghai and Taipei):
Zu Ni Shing Foo ( This is a toast, "To your health" ) .
Pie dooy! ( Let's party).
and most importantly :
Pee joe ( Beer)
and for your friend.. .
Mei Lei ( May Lay ) = beautiful.

The Blackstone Group swung to a fourth-quarter profit as its portfolio companies rose in value and the deal-making environment improved.
The private equity giant saw a swing of nearly $1 billion from the year-earlier period. Blackstone posted a $329.4 million profit in the last three months of 2009; in the fourth quarter of 2008, the firm took a loss of $763.8 million.
The New York-based firm easily topped analysts' estimates. Its private equity business took in $177.8 million in profit, up from a $239.1 million loss. Blackstone's fund of hedge funds and advisory business, which the firm has aggressively expanded, also increased its profits, while its real-estate business cut its loss.
"Overall, the economy and business environment is improving, and we saw that across the board in our results," Blackstone President Tony James said.
The value of the firm's private equity holdings rose 7% in the fourth quarter, as Blackstone has restructured some $26 billion in debt of its portfolio companies. The firm plans to sell some of those companies in the coming year.
"There's been a sharp pick-up in realizations," James said. "They won't all get done, but there's a lot of activity and it's the first time in 18 months that's been true."

The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) announced that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will issue Phase 3 emission standards for new nonroad spark ignition engines later this month that will further reduce emissions and include some key requests from OPEI. Products with nonroad spark ignition engines include lawnmowers, garden tractors, utility vehicles, trimmers, edgers, chain saws, snow throwers, tillers, leaf blowers and other related products.
Following the 1990 amendments to the federal Clean Air Act, EPA began Phase 1 of its program to regulate outdoor power equipment emissions which became effective in 1997, followed by Phase 2 in 2002 and culminating in this year's Phase 3 regulations. Once fully implemented, the outdoor power equipment industry will have reduced emissions by 955 in just 15 years since it first became regulated.
"Although challenging, we believe the new exhaust emission standards are fair and achievable," said Kris Kiser, vice president, Public Affairs, Outdoor Power Equipment Institute. "OPEI members will meet or exceed the new standards."
The new EPA Phase 3 Regulations include the following provisions:
An additional 35% reduction in exhaust emissions and a 45% reduction in total evaporative emissions beginning in 2009 and fully implemented by 2015.
Stronger EPA enforcement authority to prevent importation and retail of non-compliant equipment, with safeguards to assure equal compliance for U.S. and off-shore manufacturers.
Ability to certify engines on E10 fuel, ensuring products can operate more efficiently using fuels currently in the marketplace.

Dear Sirs,
In April 1941, northern Serbia was occupied by the Hungarian forces led by Hungarian regent Miklos Horthy. That avid anti-Semite managed to evade human justice following the World War II and his crimes have remained unaccounted for in world history.
For that reason the Holocaust Memorial Society decided to stand in the gap and publish a book entitled "Genocide Revealed: New Light on the Massacre of Serbs and Jews Under Hungarian Occupation". A baker, Bulgarian, resident of Novi Sad, was murdered brutally on January 23, 1942. His fate is mentioned in the book....
Mr Veljic - haven't you "forgotten" to mention that you're also the author of this book you recommend?

These are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. Just cushy enough without being bulky and the construction of the toe means no nasty seam to irritate my feet. I always buy a size larger than I actually need because I want to be able to throw the socks in the dryer (on low) rather than hang them to dry. After a couple of washings, they're exactly the right size for me. They hold up extremely well and keep their shape and softness.
My son has difficulty with socks bothering his feet, and these socks are the best. The quality is excellent. These socks are soft and are really durable.

Boutinot False Bay Chenin Blanc
Boutinot - South Africa
For centuries, the Chenin Blanc grape has been grown in its native France, and in many other countries around the world (most notably in South Africa). These green skinned grapes are revered for the fact that their high acidity makes them extremely versatile, and Chenin Blanc wines can range from the fascinating, sweet and viscous dessert wines made by allowing noble rot to develop on the fruit, to dry and crisp sparkling crémants, or simple, elegant still white wines. Their key feature is that they are considered to be a highly 'transparent' grape, allowing the features of their terroir to come through in the glass, and the fact that they can carry a beautiful range of tropical fruit flavors such as pineapple, guava and banana.
Situated on the very tip of the African continent, South Africa has proved itself over three centuries to be an ideal location for producing a wide range of wines. Benefiting from something not dissimilar to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers complemented by both Atlantic and Indian Ocean winds, the grapes which grow on the valleys, mountainsides and plains of this fascinating country can ripen to their fullest capacity, producing wines packed full of fruity flavors and an array of interesting and enticing aromas. As a former colony, South Africa has long since been home to a range of different nationalities, who each brought something of their wine culture with them. As such, many European grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and others have been given time to flourish in South Africa, allowing the country to develop a diverse group of wine types which are proving increasingly popular around the world.

Pitch update: maker of Candy Crush shortlists agencies
Latest news and updates on pitches for King games, Direct Line, Skoda, Game and the Smart Meter Central Delivery Body.
Skoda: final pitches for the car-maker's pan-European business have taken place, with a result expected shortly
King, the maker of the Candy Crush game, has shortlisted Mother, Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R, Red Bee Media, WCRS and the incumbent, Albion, to compete for its business. The company, which is handling the review internally, is looking to increase its investment in marketing.
Pitches for Direct Line's £46 million advertising account have just been completed – Karmarama, Saatchi & Saatchi and WCRS are battling against the incumbent, M&C Saatchi. Given M&C Saatchi's loss of the £50 million Dixons Retail business earlier this year, it will be a big test of the agency's mettle.
Meanwhile, the final pitches in the pan-European Skoda review, which is being handled by Andrew Melsom at Agency Insight, have also finished. All that is left is a follow-up meeting with the selected agencies – 18 Feet & Rising, Amsterdam Worldwide, Fallon, Kaspen/Jung von Matt and the incumbent, Leagas Delaney – this Friday. Skoda is scheduling its new advertising campaign for November, so the winner is expected to be announced shortly.
Game, the retailer that entered and then emerged from administration in 2012, has signalled that it plans to return to advertising. The company, which now has 328 stores in the UK, has approached agencies, inviting them to pitch for the business. The account was most recently handled by TBWA\London.
And finally… Leo Burnett and Saatchi & Saatchi are among the agencies that have made it on to the pitch for the Smart Meter Central Delivery Body.

Matthew McConaughey has spoken out about his longtime friend and fitness partner Lance Armstrong's doping confession, revealing he was upset when he first heard the cycling champ had lied about using performance enhancing drugs.
VIDEO: Stars who are aging in reverse
Armstrong sat down for a candid chat with Oprah Winfrey last week, and admitted he had been lying for well over a decade about the banned substances he had taken to help him win cycling races.
RELATED: Matthew McConaughey's best shirtless looks
The TV chat came months after officials at the United States Anti-Doping Agency stripped Armstrong of his seven Tour De France titles and banned him from the sport, and McConaughey admits he's among the athlete's friends and fans who are still coming to terms with his confession.
RELATED: McConaughey's life as a dad
Speaking to MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, the actor says, "I have been following it, obviously, and my first reaction was I was p--sed off, I was mad. I then got kinda sad for him... I took it personally, which I think a lot of people have.
"(But) what was he supposed to do? Call me to the side and go, 'Hey man, I did it but don't tell anybody'. Then I would have really had a reason to be p--sed off at him, going, 'You want me to walk around holding this?'
"Where I am now is I've put myself outta the way, and I am happy for this guy who has now chosen to enter this chapter of his life a truly free man, without this weight he had on his shoulder... that he's carried for 14 years.
"He's gonna take a lot of daggers and a lot of spears, and in a deserving way..., and some people are never gonna forgive, but that's OK... It's gonna be miserable, but he's looking it in the eye and he'll handle it.

Why We Need Cosby More Than Ever
His return to TV could reflect the reality of the new fatherhood
Byon August 8, 2014
NBC has finally made a deal with Billy Cosby and his executive producer from the original Cosby Show for a new family comedy, according to Deadline and other sources. The specifics of the project haven't been announced, but it sounds, from the logline, like a return to something very much like the old show. "They would like to see a married couple that acts like they love each other, warts and all, children who respect the parenting, and the comedy of people who make mistakes. Warmth and forgiveness," Cosby told Yahoo TV. That sounds pretty much like what we all remember, of course, but that's a good thing. Fatherhood has changed radically in the 20-plus years since The Cosby Show aired. What we desperately need is a new father figure on television who is as forward-looking and as progressive as Cosby was then.
The Cosby Show, while seeming about as bland and innocuous as possible, was one of the most quietly subversive shows ever put on television. A fierce undercurrent of radicalism has always run under Cosby's totally placid demeanor. Which is why mediocre comics make fun of him the sweaters, the Pudding Pops, etc. while great comics like Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Dave Chappelle worship him. The Cosby Show portrayed a progressive reality for 1984, the year it premiered: a father actively involved in the raising of his children, a husband comfortable with his working wife, in a marriage with assumed equality between the partners, living in a multicultural neighborhood. They were the Modern Family before Modern Family, but what was even more radical was that they didn't bother pointing out their modernity. The Cosby Show said, without saying it, that the progressive family was the height of normalcy.
The family has continued evolving, but the fathers on television Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin and others have not. The new reality is progressive, but the reflection of that reality in pop culture is not. A blog post spreading wildly this past week was from a male CEO who quit to spend more times with his kids. The whole thing is worth reading, but the opening spells out with enviable precision exactly the new situation so many men find themselves in, and how little it is discussed:
Earlier this summer, Matt Lauer asked Mary Barra, the CEO of GM, whether she could balance the demands of being a mom and being a CEO. The Atlantic asked similar questions of PepsiCo's female CEO Indra Nooyi. As a male CEO, I have been asked what kind of car I drive and what type of music I like, but never how I balance the demands of being both a dad and a CEO.
While the press haven't asked me, it is a question that I often ask myself. Here is my situation:
* I have 3 wonderful kids at home, aged 14, 12 and 9, and I love spending time with them: skiing, cooking, playing backgammon, swimming, watching movies or Warriors or Giants games, talking, whatever. * I am on pace to fly 300,000 miles this year, all the normal CEO travel plus commuting between Palo Alto and New York every 2-3 weeks. During that travel, I have missed a lot of family fun, perhaps more importantly, I was not with my kids when our puppy was hit by a car or when my son had (minor and successful, and of course unexpected) emergency surgery. * I have an amazing wife who also has an important career; she is a doctor and professor at Stanford where, in addition to her clinical duties, she runs their training program for high risk obstetricians and conducts research on on prematurity, surgical techniques, and other topics. She is a fantastic mom, brilliant, beautiful, and infinitely patient with me. I love her, I am forever in her debt for finding a way to keep the family working despite my crazy travel. I should not continue abusing that patience.
Friends and colleagues often ask my wife how she balances her job and motherhood. Somehow, the same people don't ask me.
This CEO is not atypical. We are at the beginning of a new fatherhood, rather than at the end. And the new reality is not just complicated, but it's also largely unrecognized. The truly fascinating transformations of the modern family are not in the many new forms it has taken, but in the transformation in everyday lives. The original Cosby Show rode that line perfectly, the line between the familiar and the transformative. And Cosby's bland radicalism is exactly what we need right now: a quietly progressive dad on TV.
I don't even care if he wears ugly sweaters and eats Pudding Pops.

The trustee for convicted Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff's defunct brokerage, who has appealed a ruling by a Manhattan federal judge that permits New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to complete a $410 million settlement with Madoff investor J. Ezra Merkin, accused the judge of "abuse of discretion" in saying the trustee waited too long to stop the deal.
Trustee Irving Picard said he wasn't trying to stop the settlement "for all time," only until he had taken money from Merkin. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff also erred in "holding that the trustee had an obligation to rush to the courthouse and file suit," rather than negotiating with Schneiderman for a delay, as he had tried to do, Picard said in a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals in New York yesterday.
The settlement will compensate Merkin investors who lost money in the Ponzi scheme and aren't eligible for compensation from the Madoff estate run by Picard, the attorney general has said. Picard, who also has appealed rulings barring him from collecting $30 billion from banks, seeks to take $500 million from Merkin for a different set of Madoff investors. Rakoff dismissed what he called Picard's entire effort to "derail" the accord, saying that by law, he waited too long to assert his own claim as trustee.

The Backwash of War: Inspired the BBC Dramatization 'the Crimson Field' (Hardback)
|Hardback 200 pages
10+ in stock
Usually despatched within 24 hours
You save: £1.80
* An inspiration for the BBC One Drama 'The Crimson Field' *'The classic account of a First World War Field Hospital 'War, superb as it is, is not necessarily a filtering process, by which men and nations may be purified. Well, there are many people to write you of the noble side, the heroic side, the exalted side. I must write you of what I have seen, the other side, the backwash.' Ellen LaMotte, Volunteer Nurse, 4 May 1916 The 'backwash' of Ellen La Motte's controversial book are the dirty, smelly, lice and disease ridden bodies of wounded French soldiers brought into her field hospital, 10 kilometres behind the Western Front of the First World War. They compose the 'human wreckage' of highly organised and industrialised warfare. Arranged into fourteen vignettes, The Backwash of War paints a picture of that conflict which seems so familiar to modern readers with nearly a century of writing about it to draw on. Yet, even with the passage of time, Ellen La Motte's first hand observations and comments, sometimes cynical, sometimes poignant, retain a freshness and continue to make for compelling reading. Her graphic and highly vivid studies of how modern weapons of war can truly wreck the human body and mind remain a potent reminder of the true costs of conflict. No wonder the American Government banned The Backwash of War in 1918.

I like that they have popcorn in the lobby each evening. The one day we were there at the right time for popcorn, someone had doused it with way too much salt, so it was hardly edible.

Family Traveling with Young Children
During my stay, there was something like a family reunion going on at the same time as my trip-which carried on like an unmannered fraternity party. This made the public spaces crowded to include the front lobby. There was loud music coming from the public spaces. Members of the reunion were openly drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana in the parking lot. The pool was closed due to "someone having had an accident in it" -I assume the family reunion members. The next morning, the breakfast area was TRASHED and unruly with this same party of family members. There was no room to even move. My family and I were relieved when FINALLY the hotel asked them to move to another room. There were some good points to the hotel--the roomo was clean and the staff were nice. I would be weary of booking on a weekend though.if the hotel allow frequent large parties to rent, the overall experience is less than ideal. ...
