Kagawa to miss another month
Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:26:00
Roberto Di Matteo is yet to make a decision on Fernando Torres' involvement in Chelsea's UEFA Champions League Group E clash with Juventus, with it possible that the striker could be axed from the Blues' starting XI.
Torres was hauled off during Saturday's Premier League defeat at West Brom after another miserable performance and Di Matteo could start Daniel Sturridge in his place in Turin.
Ashley Cole should return after recovering from his hamstring injury, as should several other rested players but John Terry (knee) and Frank Lampard (calf) were left in London.
Juventus are sweating on the fitness of Mirko Vucinic, who has been battling flu-like symptoms.
However, the striker trained on Monday afternoon and a late decision will be made on his fitness.
The Italian champions are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Fabio Quagliarella, Alessandro Matri and Nicklas Bendtner vying to partner Sebastian Giovinco if Vucinic fails to make it.
The Manchester United midfielder has been absent since suffering a knee injury against Braga at Old Trafford last month.
Initially, Ferguson said he expected the Japan international to be back in action within four or five weeks.
However, speaking ahead of Tuesday's encounter with Galatasaray in Istanbul, Ferguson said: "His progress has been quite slow actually.
"He hasn't started any outside work and, looking now, he may be another four weeks away."
It is a major blow for the 23-year-old, who has made an impressive start to his United career following a ?12million summer move from Borussia Dortmund.
With two goals in his first eight appearances, Kagawa had offered Ferguson a valuable attacking option.
Now he will probably not be seen again until the Christmas programme at the earliest, which is hardly ideal given the strength of competition to get into the United side on a regular basis.
"Overall, he will probably be looking at 6-7 weeks since the injury," said Ferguson.
"The first job now is to get him back."

Sting Set To Release First New Album In A Decade
Sting has announced that he'll release a new record called The Last Ship this fall. It will be the singer's first album of original material in a decade.
The singer's publicist told The New York Times that the record, due out September 24, grew out of a musical of the same name that he's been working on for the last three years. The show takes place in a shipyard in Wallsend, England, where Sting spent his youth, and tackles the struggling local shipbuilding industry in the 1980s. It's set to make its Broadway debut in 2014.

The follow-up to 2003's Sacred Love, the new album will feature songs from the upcoming musical including the title track, a folk waltz that is reportedly heavy in Christian imagery, along with a jazz-infused funk song called "And Yet" and "Dead Man's Boots," a song that focuses on the struggle between a father who works in the shipyard and a son who doesn't want to follow in his old man's footsteps. The upcoming album will also include songs Sting wrote for the play but decided not to include.

A group of M.M. Robinson High School students will be on TV during Canadian coverage of the Super Bowl.
Carolyn French, a teacher at MMR and manager and director of the school's competitive percussion group called Drumline, said her collection of drummers and other percussionists recently filmed a commercial spot that will appear during this weekend's NFL championship game.
The telecast starts at 6:30 p.m.
The short ad will debut on CTV this Sunday (Feb. 2). It is a promotional piece for The Sports Network (TSN) highlighting upcoming TV coverage of the wildly popular American college basketball tournament dubbed March Madness.
MMR's participation in the TSN ad occurred on Jan. 24. French said she had been contacted by a CTV producer just two days earlier and scrambled to get her charges together on short notice during exam period.
She was able to muster 27 of Drumline's 30 members and got them to show up at the CTV studio in Scarborough for a day of filming that will be edited down to less than a minute of actual airplay.
"It took a long time for a short commercial but it was really cool," said French, who runs Drumline. Her husband Andrew Thies composes the music for the group. He edited some sound clips for the commercial.
"The set looked like a steam punk leaderboard. It was very artsy and creative,' said French, noting Drumline members wore their traditional red uniforms.
French said she was told as many as six million viewers might see the ad.
She said there was another M.M. Robinson connection to the commercial noting recent MMR graduate Mike Fisher did some filming and worked as a production assistant on it.
Drumline practices twice a week, three hours on a weeknight and hours on Saturdays.
Its competitive drumming season runs March to May. Its first two events on the winter Guard International circuit are in Connecticut and Ohio.
Drumline had been competing in the U.S. exclusively but a new Ontario regional drumline circuit is beginning in late March.
Drumline consists of snare and bass drums, quads, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, bells, a synthesizer and an electric guitar.
Its members come from Grades 9-12. No experience is necessary to join, said French.

Music from this release
Guided by Voices were back; now, they're just here. Two years into their reunion, and the news that the lo-fi titans' 1993-1996 lineup would be returning hardly even qualifies as news anymore. English Little League, their latest, is GBV's fourth LP since their comeback, making as many post-hiatus LPs as they managed during that fabled "classic era." Sixteen months back, when they cut the ribbon on Let's Go Eat the Factory, a narrative seemed to emerge: beloved band's finest-ever incarnation returns with a spotty but satisfying LP. Three fitfully gratifying LPs later, however, and the story's much the same.
English Little League, like so many GBV albums before it, gathers a couple all-timers and a few respectably jagged pop-rockers together with several total trainwrecks and calls it an LP. First, the good: the exceedingly generous lead single "Flunky Minnows" is brimming with so many hooks, it spends its two minutes and change running around in circles, begging you to take them off its hands. Opener "Xeno Pariah" is the best first-shot of GBV's second act, a sharp, clear-eyed rocker with a head-lodge hook all its own. Highlights are everywhere, from the sway-and-spill chorus of "Send to Celeste (And the Cosmic Athletes)", to the goofball rumble and Zero Mostel gags of "Crybaby 4-Star Hotel" and the gnarly heft of bruiser "Know Me As Heavy". The playing's shrewd, the recording's warm, and frontman Robert Pollard's vocals are rousing, even brash; with the right songs in front of them, these guys are as good as they've ever been.
English Little League marks the first appearance of recordings from Pollard's new home-studio. Which is not to suggest that he's somehow gone slick; even amidst Little League's booming arena-rockers, swift power-pop, proggy bluster, and wads of bubblegum, it's on these late-night home-recordings that you can hear the figurative scrape of the tattered Tascam the loudest. Most of the home-brewed stuff takes the form of drunken 3 AM ballads, howls-at-the-moon likely inspired by those nights when the beer's all gone and every liquor store in 20 miles is closed until the morning. In the right mood, these ballads'll knock the wind out of you. But English Little League's got four of them-- "Sir Garlic Breath," "Biographer Seahorse," "Reflections in a Metal Whistle" and "A Burning Glass"-- and with every passing weeper, the album sags a tad more.
Still, I'll take a glut of ballads over something like "Noble Insect", the dismal co-write from Pollard and Tobin Sprout that leaves neither side off the hook. Over a lunkhead riff, Pollard bleats "Japan, Japan" semi-tunelessly for a while before sliding into chorus so good-- and so effortless-- you'll wonder why they'd ever think to burn it on a song that dopey. Really, it might be best if GBV stay out of Japan for the time being: the record's other lowlight, the jaunty, underwritten "Reflections in a Metal Whistle," also shoehorns in a incongruous (albeit less annoying) mention of the country. Tobin Sprout spends Little League with his head in the clouds; whether he's harping on Jesus on the far-too-sweet "The Sudden Death of Epstein's Ways" or talking about a girl who chats with refracted light on "Islands (She Talks in Rainbows)", his ageless voice and crisp melodies are typically a smart counterpoint to Bob's ragged glories. But these songs he brings to English Little League are pure cotton candy, sticker and more saccharine than they are satisfying.
Guided by Voices weren't even this prolific back when they made their rep for being prolific. So, after unloading so much music in such a short time, finding a moment to step back and consider each album on its own takes some doing. It's clear now that Let's Go Eat the Factory was the weird one, Class Clown Spots a UFO the one with the most range, and The Bears for Lunch the flat-out catchiest. Little League's harder to draw a line around; even with all the ballads, there's not a prevailing mood or a dominant sound. So, while it's perfectly pleasant from moment to moment, the whole never congeals. With 17 songs in just under 46 minutes, a good number of them ballads, English Little League seems to unfold at an unusually relaxed pace; songs that would've been 75 seconds long now get two verses and a repeat airing of the chorus, not always deservedly. Tobin's songs have that gloopy faux-chestra thing going for them, and Pollard howler "A Burning Glass" is almost crowded out by echo, but for the most part, the production's spare enough, it doesn't especially feel like production.
Song for song, League's about par with the three LPs that preceded it: The Bears for Lunch is a bit more consistent, but its highs certainly weren't any higher. Still, as with the three LPs it follows, something's holding the very good League back from greatness; in this case, its lax pacing, its over-reliance on balladry, and whatever the heck "Noble Insect" is supposed to be. Great as it is that GBV are still knocking sounds like "Flunky Minnows" into the stands, it's a shame they're not popping off 20 such songs a year the way they did way back when. The hits still connect, but the batting average is a little lower these days. In many ways, GBV's revamp is still one of the indie-rock comebacks to beat: they didn't return for a quick cash-grab, but as a fully functioning band, willing to risk whatever legend they'd built up in their absence by flooding fans with new material. But, triumphant as the return itself has been, the records themselves have really only skirted triumph. English Little League is no different.

Preserving farmland in Fairfield County
The Ohio Farmland Preservation program continues to ensure that tens of thousands of acres on hundreds of farms across the state remain in agricultural production.
In one recent example, more than 300 acres of land in Fairfield County were preserved through the Agricultural Easement Purchase Program (AEPP). Roger Wolfe, along with Joe and Azure Koehler, signed papers to place the development rights of their land into the program.
Fairfield County is among the fastest growing counties in Ohio in terms of population, said John Torres, organization director for Fairfield, Hocking, Pickaway and Ross County Farm Bureaus. It has long been a Fairfield County Farm Bureau policy to support programs that help protect farmland. Both Wolfe and the Koehlers are members of Fairfield County Farm Bureau.
AEPP is funded through the Clean Ohio program and provides funding so landowners and communities may preserve Ohios farmland. The Koehlers signed over the development rights on 131 acres through this program. Wolfe signed over his development rights as well, but first sought protection of his 207 acres through an Agricultural Security Area, which restricts the development of large blocks of land in an agreement between local government and landowners for a 10-year period of time.
According to John Ferbrache, research specialist for Fairfield County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), with the addition of these 338 acres, there is now a total of 1,700 acres in Fairfield County permanently protected through these programs. The county commissioners, Ohio Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Soil and Water Conservation District, all share the responsibility of monitoring the land preservation programs. The Fairfield County Farm Bureau supports programs like these and recognizes the need to build strong relationships with all agencies involved.

Nice place.Food was very good.Waitress was very helpful as I don't eat thai food very often.I prefer food with a little heat in it,and that is just what I got.Very Good!!
Nice place.Food was very good.Waitress was very helpful as I don't eat thai food very often.I prefer food with a little heat in it,and that is just what I got.Very Good!!
You cannot make a mistake at Sawadee - the entire menu is excellent. Tell your server the degree of heat you want in your dish. Make sure to try the salad with peanut dressing.
I started going here about a year ago. And I only started going because the Thai place by my house keeps weird hours. I started off with getting the shrimp pad thai. It was ok, except it was missing a certain something in terms of taste. It was only a few steps above the Lo Mein you would get for... More
From duck to mussels to curries to Volcano Chicken to spicy calamari to soups to salad with peanut sauce to YEAH! This cuisine makes us happy, happy - happy! This is REAL Thai food at its best. Request a lunch size portion if your watching your lady or man curves. Oh, and they have the most tender bamboo shoots EVER!.... More
I've been enjoying Sawadee Thai Cuisine ever since it opened. I simply love it. I'm careful what I order though - both for heat and for saltiness. I'm pretty much a creature of habit in what I order for lunch here (Karee Noodle with chicken) but when there for dinner I enjoy the ginger duck very much. The mussels in... More
The quality of the food at this local Thai eatery has always been good, but when they were new, there were often serious service problems. As a result, we started going to the restaurant on Main St. in Manchester when we wanted Thai food. Lately, however, that restaurant (can we name it? Sukkothai), has been going downhill, so we decided... More
I always to go there to have lunch or dinner. Close to authentic Thai food in Thailand. Must try the fried ice cream, think they made the best so far. IF only they have "MianKam" ( one mouth full) I don't believe there is any around in Thai Rest here. Very popular in homeland Thailand. Other then that food is... More
Tried a few other Thai places in the area and simply weren't impressed. Sawadee on the other hand has fantastic flavors, very friendly staff, and a good selection. This is one of our more recommended places for people to try in the area if they are searching for Thai, definitely give them a try.
Ive had better pad thai, but that's in west Hartford. Nice atmosphere and service was very nice. I might go back and try other dishes someday.
A local gem of a place. Great, extensive menu with many daily specials well prepared. Service is friendly and very comfortable, relatively quiet ambience. However, don't be in a rush.

As predicted, Rhys Ifans will play The Lizard (Dr. Curt Connors) in Sony's "Spider-Man" reboot.
Though the studio won't comment, The Wrap reports that the "Notting Hill" star will indeed be strapping on the scaly tail to play, well, a character Dylan Baker had always hoped to play (Baker played Dr. Curt Connors in the previous "Spider-Man" movies but never got the chance to unleash his evil side, so to speak).
As I said the other day, I really couldn't imagine Ifans playing Venom or The Green Goblin or any of those other Spider-Foes, but I can see him as a brainy beanpole cum reptilian.
Sadly, my fellow "Buffy" fans, I'm not referring to James Marsters snagging a lead role in Sony's "Spider-Man" reboot but rather that other Spike – the one from "Notting Hill".
Pommy chameleon Rhys Ifans has been offered the lead villain role in director Marc Webb's "Spider-Man".
No word on which bad guy Ifans is playing (there's rumours that Venom, the rogue in "Spider-Man 3″, might be in the script, but there's also suggestions that Electro and The Green Goblin might be in the mix) but personally, I can see him in the role of Dr Curt Connors (aka The Lizard).
The site says that there's whispers that the new film might actually feature multiple villains -a'la "Spider-Man 3″. Philip Seymour Hoffman has been touted for a role in recent weeks, suggesting he'd be playing one of the other bad dudes.
Commenting on the announcement, Sony co-chairman Matt Tolmach said, "We have been very fortunate to attract some of the best actors working today to play the villains in the Spider-Man movies, and it is exciting to see that trend continue with Rhys Ifans. After seeing his performance in our upcoming film Anonymous, we're in awe of his talent and think he's the perfect choice to take on this role."
And here's the line that makes me think he's playing Dr Connors :
Webb says, "What sets the Spider-Man villains apart is the complexity of their relationships with Peter Parker. Rhys' incredible ability to embody both warmth and rage makes him the ideal choice for this character."
Warmth? Rage? The Lizard, right!?
Ifans, also known for the films "Little Nicky" and "The Replacements" and next seen as Xenophilius Lovegood in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1″, joins Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the 2012 release.

Philadelphia Eagles Lead NFL in Salary Cap Space
The Philadelphia Eagles have made a lot of headlines over the past two offseasons with all of their big-name free agent signings.
Over the past two seasons, the Eagles have handed out the following contracts or contract extensions:
- Quarterback Michael Vick: six years, $100 million
- Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha: five years, $60 million
- Wide receiver DeSean Jackson: five years, $51 million
- Defensive end Trent Cole: four years, $51 million
- Running back LeSean McCoy: five years, $45 million
- Defensive end Jason Babin: five years, $28 million
- Left guard Evan Mathis: five years, $25 million
- Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins: five years, $25 million
- Right tackle Todd Herremans: three years, $21 million
That's a lot of money for a lot of big-name players. There's not a player on that list who doesn't have a pretty good chance to make the Pro Bowl this season.
Yet despite all of their spending recently, the Eagles actually have the most money available in cap space, according to a report on Pro Football Talk.
The Eagles currently have $21.4 million available in free space, just edging out the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have $20.7 million available, for the most in the league.
I continue to be impressed by management for the Eagles, which is as good as it gets for spending money. General manager Howie Roseman may have angered a few players on the team when he signed all those big-name free agents during the 2011 offseason, but he righted that wrong this past summer when he inked Jackson, McCoy, Herremans, Mathis, and Cole to contract extensions.
Players due for a large contract after the 2012 season include wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, center Jason Kelce, and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
This article was written by Bryn Swartz, the top writer for the Philadelphia Eagles and a featured NFL columnist on Rant Sports.

More Information Released on Bobby Brown's Stint in Rehab
More details have been released about Bobby Brown'slatest trip to rehab. It has been confirmed that the singer admitted himself into a rehabilitation center last week.
Reports yesterday (August 15) said that Bobby entered rehab after some urging from his New Edition bandmates, but according to a statement from his lawyer, Christopher Brown, Bobby did so willingly in conjunction with an arrest earlier this year in California where he was pulled over for using a cell phone without a headset. There was some suspicion that he was driving under the influence, which led the court to rule Bobby seek help for his alcohol use.
"Mr. Brown takes his agreement very seriously and admitted himself three weeks after concluding his honeymoon in Mexico during a break from the New Edition tour," said his lawyer. "Bobby is doing well and receiving services that comply with his agreement with the State of California."
Bobby's wife and manager, Alicia Etheridge-Brown, also released a statement about his latest stint in rehab.
"Bobby's children and loved ones are very proud of him," she said. "We appreciate his fans prayers and well wishes. Bobby is mentally in a good place."
The singer's trip to rehab will not get in the way of his upcoming tour dates. He plans to honor his solo date on September 1 in Orlando, FL and rejoin his New Edition bandmates on September 19 for their show in Long Island, NY.

Scouting Michigan-Michigan State
Keys to victory in Saturday night's showdown of in-state rivals
With Saturday's highly anticipated matchup between the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) fast approaching, we asked former coaches Fran Fraschilla and Seth Greenberg to break it all down. They each provided a scouting report on the biggest keys for both sides of the ball, with Fraschilla taking the role of Michigan coach John Beilein and Greenberg the role of the Spartans' Tom Izzo.
How Michigan can beat Michigan State (by Fran Fraschilla)
1. Spread out the Spartans and have balanced scoring
One big key for the Wolverines is to make the Spartans defend off the dribble in a way that spreads out their help-side defense. Tom Izzo's team has always played a version of the "pack line" man-to-man defense in which Michigan State defends the elbows and blocks on all penetration. It's effective because it holds Big Ten opponents to a conference-leading 41.8 percent inside the arc.

WCWS: Danielle Lawrie a huge factor in Washington's rise
When Washington's softball team and ace Danielle Lawrie take the field Thursday against Georgia, they will do so as the favorite to win the Women's College World Series.
It wasn't always that way.
Washington, the nation's top-ranked team, traditionally has played the underdog to conference rivals UCLA and Arizona, who have combined to win 19 national titles. The Huskies' lone title came last year, with Lawrie pitching every inning of the team's six WCWS games.
That championship changed the face of a program that since its inception in 1993 had made the WCWS eight times without capturing the title.
Coach Heather Tarr said playing with a target on their backs this season has led the Huskies to take a different approach.
"You can't take the role where you sneak up on people," she said. "You get everybody's 'A-game' and nobody forgets who they're playing. The players have had to adapt to that."
Tarr said the team's ascent is a result of involving the right people with the program.
"When you have the right people, good things happen," said Tarr, who played third base for the Huskies from 1994-97. "It's an exciting time to be part of the program. You can't overstate what Danielle has done for us."
Lawrie, who on Tuesday was named college softball's player of the year for the second straight season, said Tarr was the biggest reason for the program's success.
"Year after year she gets better and makes us better," she said.
Lawrie won nation's top award after posting a 40-3 record and striking out 478 batters during the season. She also led the Huskies with 15 home runs and 57 RBIs.

OneCity developers want to double residential piece of Charlotte Avenue project
- Adam Sichko
- Senior Reporter- Nashville Business Journal
- Email | @NSHBIZSichko | LinkedIn
Construction began last month on the first office building. It is set to open one year from now.
That building is 120,000 square feet in size. Doyle said 70 percent is leased. The building's anchor tenant is Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance, occupying half of the building. Doyle declined to identify newly signed tenants.
The additional apartments, if granted by Metro government, would not mean any OneCity building would grow larger, Doyle said. And the changes would not come right away, but likely in a later phase of building, Doyle said.
What it could mean is that some space planned as offices right now could convert to apartments.
"It's all really about what happens upstairs in some of those buildings, at a point three or four years down the road," Doyle said.
Adam covers commercial real estate and manufacturing.
