Why Manchester City are still searching for their own identity
Sporting director, technical director, director of football: call it what you will, the idea of having an executive director with football responsibilities who supervises the manager of a club has always seemed a bit foreign to us in England.
We have been brought up on strong managers with dominant personalities, going back to Bill Shankly, Brian Clough, Don Revie and now Sir Alex Ferguson. We find it hard to get our heads around the idea of someone telling the manager who he ought to buy.
But as more and more businessmen and billionaires buy into the sport and look to replicate more conventional corporate structures, it is something we're becoming increasingly used to in English football.
Which is why it will be interesting to watch what happens in the next few months at Manchester City, where Txiki Begiristain has been appointed director of football to work alongside Roberto Mancini.
The new man: Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain (left) with chief executive Ferran Soriano
The new man comes with an impressive record, having been the technical director at Barcelona and one of the directors there who pushed hard for Pep Guardiola to be promoted from his role of reserve team manager to take on the first team in 2008; a risky move that now looks to be one the best decisions ever made in football.
He will be a strong character with confidence in his own views working alongside Mancini, who himself has strident opinions. In fact, Mancini would often publicly question the role of Brian Marwood, the former football administrator, who has been made managing director of the club's academy to make way for Begiristain.
But you can see why Begiristain has been appointed. Despite the success that Mancini and City have had in winning the FA Cup and the Premier League, they still seem to be a club in search of a strong identity. By which I mean, you don't have a clear idea as to what their style of play will be or what they stand for as a football team.
Their rise from mid-table Premier League team to champions has been so rapid and the styles and tactics they've been through have changed so much — from a cautious counter-attacking team to a possession-based side, from solid back fours to three at the back — that the true sense of who they are as a team and club hasn't really been established yet.
Identity crisis: Manchester City are on the brink of their second straight Champions League group stage exit
And you sense that Sheik Mansour and chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak want something more than just cups. They seem to want to create a legacy. They are building a spectacular new academy, with similarities to the Barcelona model, and seem to want to put people in place to dictate the style of play over the next 10 years. In business terms, they are building a brand.
More from Gary Neville for The Daily Mail...

- GARY NEVILLE: We have to act now to stop the grass-roots of our game withering 21/12/13
- GARY NEVILLE: It's an insult even to ask the question about David Moyes' future... Give him time to adapt to this monster of a job and he'll be a success at United 14/12/13
- Neville: 'Do home-grown players have as big a chance of coming through as we did?' Scholes: 'No, not even close.' On the day The Class of '92 premieres, we sit down with Gary, Paul and coach Eric Harrison 30/11/13

- GARY NEVILLE: The loan system can be the making of more men like Townsend 19/10/13

We've seen at Chelsea that owners who invest billions of pounds are not just content to win trophies. They want the world to praise the manner in which they win them. That's what Begiristain will have been brought in to do, interestingly working alongside the new chief executive at the club, Ferran Soriano, who was also at Barcelona.
When you think about the biggest clubs in Europe, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, you know what they stand for, on and off the pitch. The tactics and the commitment to entertaining football have been forged over years.
So Manchester City's challenge now is not just to win the Premier League but to build a strong working relationship between Begiristain and Mancini that forges an identity.
There is no reason why employing a technical director can't work. West Brom cemented their place in the top five by winning 2-1 at Wigan. They have probably been the best club in England at using the model of the sporting director, with Dan Ashworth, who is now the FA's director of elite development, working in tandem with a number of coaches.
Ideally, the sporting director will have picked the manager. That way, they stand or fall together so there is a vested interest in making the relationship work and also a shared philosophy as to how to play the game.
Working relationship: How will Roberto Mancini and Begiristain get on?
The key, though, is that the relationship between the manager and his sporting director must be based on trust. In the ideal situation the manager outlines the kind of player he wants — say, an attacking left-footed midfielder, physically strong but athletic and quick — and the sporting director produces a list of candidates according to the club's budget.
Then the manager and the sporting director have to agree on which is the best buy, though the sporting director will be in charge of all the financial elements of the deal. Inevitably, there will be disagreements but there has to be the ability to compromise.
When this structure has failed in this country, it has often been when there have been two very different personalities trying to do the job.
At Tottenham, City's opponents today, they once had George Graham as manager and David Pleat as sporting director. As well as being different characters, they both had diverse playing ideas.
At Liverpool, Damien Comolli and Kenny Dalglish were polar opposites. And there is always a problem when a club are deemed to have spent their transfer money unwisely. Who do you sack? Usually it's the manager, though at Liverpool both ended up paying with their jobs.
Uneasy alliance: Directors of football, such as Damien Comolli (left) have seldom gelled with managers in England, as Kenny Dalglish discovered during his second spell at Liverpool
And while the role may seem alien to us, even the strongest managers in England have actually often worked in tandem with a director they trusted. Think of David Gill and Sir Alex Ferguson or David Dein and Arsene Wenger. Those relationships can be the heart and soul of a club.
Sir Alex has always said that he took huge comfort in his early days at United from the fact that Sir Bobby Charlton was a club director because he knew he had a voice in the boardroom that was a football man protecting him, who could see the progress behind the scenes.
Will Mancini now have a similar ally in the boardroom, backing his ideas? He has already done a magnificent job, winning the FA Cup and Premier League after that 35-year wait for a trophy. You would imagine that the stability of backing a title-winning manager would be the way forward.
And certainly Mancini seems to have a very good relationship with Khaldoon al Mubarak. Their mutual trust at the end of last season, when the team were struggling, was probably crucial to City winning the title.
But look at how Real Madrid got rid of Fabio Capello after winning the title in 2007 or Roman Abramovich lost faith in Jose Mourinho the same year after he had won two Premier League titles and the FA Cup. Sometimes winning isn't enough these days. You also have to fit the brand.
Does Roberto Mancini fit the brand that Begiristain has been instructed to build at Manchester City? It will be fascinating to watch over the next few months as we find out.

Bicyclist Injured In Downtown Orlando Shooting
POSTED: 7:25 am EDT June 26, 2006
UPDATED: 12:32 pm EDT June 26, 2006
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Orange County deputies were on the scene of a bizarre shooting early Monday morning in downtown Orlando. One shooting victim was shot in the back as he was riding a bike. At the same time, a woman called authorities to say shots were fired into her home.
The sudden gunfire came as a surprise to a man out riding his bike on Lee Street near Kaley.
He heard some shots fired and felt a sting in his back, got off of his bike and realized he'd been shot, said Captain Al Rodriguez of the Orange County Sheriffs Department.
The man was taken to the hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Deputies have no suspects, since they don't know where the shots came from. But the strange story doesn't end there.
Moments later we received a call from a nearby residence where a gun bullet had pierced a homeowners' windows and we're investigating that as well, added Rodriguez.
Deputies dont know whether the shootings were some kind of bizarre target practice, or someone intent on committing a robbery or home invasion.
Investigators said the victim on the bike had no altercation with anyone and the gunman never approached him.

Right on Labor Council.
As if organized labor didn't already have a bum reputation, you're at it again trying to make it worse.

There is not a single Atherton taxpayer on the Labor Council. The Labor Council is acting solely in the short term interest of labor and is ignoring the interests if the taxpayers. The Town Council should simply ignore this special interest pleading.

Proceed with the layoffs. It's also time to outsource the police department.
BTW, will the town save money with the outsourcing since we will not require new structures for the building and police departments?

The issue, as I have stated before, does not pertain to personalities, circumstances or events, it has to do with the mal-design of governmental mechanisms and structures.
Union representation of government employees violates the constitutional right of taxpayers to be directly, by electoral process, represented in the decision regarding dispensation of their taxes. This is a fundamental and historical issue which was present at the founding of the nation.
Union contracts devolve to decisions made within financial constraints determined by contract law at the hands of appointed arbiters.
This structure is unconstitutional.
It is this that must be addressed in these situations.

Atherton Taxpayers,
Executive secretary-treasurer Shelley Kessler
"At this point, there are no specific actions planned against the town as labor leaders monitor the situation, but that could change, depending on the results of further talks"
Some might ask who is Shelley Kessler? This might help.

Chavez Case May Continue
POSTED: Friday, October 22, 2010 - 12:14pm
UPDATED: Saturday, October 23, 2010 - 8:03am
EL PASO - The sexual assault case against former Ethics Commission Chairman David Chavez may continue in civil court, despite being dropped by the District Attorney.
Tonight we've learned the family of the teen girl who claims she was molested and impregnated by Chavez may take legal action against his estate. The District Attorney officially dropped the criminal case in light of Chavez's suicide, but the civil suit would seek money to help care for Chavez's alleged child.
If the family moves forward with the civil suit it won't happen until after the baby is born in January, and a DNA test is completed.

Four more members of Florida A & M's famed Marching 100 band were booked on misdemeanor hazing charges and released on bail last week.
Four more students who were charged with hazing pledges of a Florida A & M marching band club named the Clones have been dismissed from the university.
The decision to release the students was announced Monday during a FAMU board of trustees meeting, following the broadcasting of the charges on Friday.
According to police reports, the hazing took place in "three or four initiation meetings" that began around Sept. 1 in a house near campus. Lined in the order of their height, five pledges were "forced to exercise, play music, and were either punched, prepped (slapped with both hands on back) and/or paddled."
Denise Bailey, 22; Brandon Benson, 23; Hakeem Birch, 21 and Anthony Mingo, 22 were booked on misdemeanor hazing charges and released on bail last week. They will have a chance to appeal their school dismissal before a student judicial committee.
Even if the student committee approves the appeal, however, the four band members will still face the misdemeanor charges.
The historically Black university continues to face the spotlight, as last week's arrests are the latest in a hazing scandal of the school's famed Marching 100 band that left 26-year-old Robert Champion dead and others injured.
According to a police report, the accused members have denied that hazing occurred or said they did not know about it.

Compared to... Canon EOS 550D
As with the Nikon comparison, the major differences between the Samsung and Canon are the distinctions that come from one of them being a DSLR and one being mirrorless (with most of that difference coming down to whether you want to use the camera to your eye most of the time or would prefer to line-up shots using the rear screen).
The Canon offers a slightly faster continuous shooting rate but again loses-out in terms of side, weight and price. In most other respects the cameras are comparable, in spec terms.
Studio scene comparison (JPEG)
Samsung NX10 vs. Canon EOS 550D
- Samsung NX10: Pentax FA 50mm F1.4 (F8, via adapter), Manual Exposure, ISO 100
JPEG 14MP/Super Fine, Neutral WB, Standard Picture Wizard(Standard), Self-Timer
- Canon EOS 550D: Canon 50 mm F1.4 lens (@F8), Aperture Priority, ISO 100

Samsung NX10 |
Canon EOS 550D
5.5 MB JPEG (4592 x 3056) |
6.4 MB JPEG (5184 x 3456) |
At the opposite end of the sharpening spectrum from the Nikon sits the Canon 550D which emphasizes every little edge and detail. The NX10's JPEGs (at default settings), don't come anywhere close to representing fine detail and, looking at the finest patterns in the scene, it looks like it may not be capturing the same level of resolution as the Canon.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The U.S. manufacturing sector's recovery is the slowest on record since 1919, according to a report from the National Association of Manufacturers, although the group expects growth to accelerate by the end of 2003.
NAM, an industry trade association, predicted in its 2003 Annual Labor Day Report that the unemployment rate would stabilize at about 6 percent by the end of 2003 and decline to about 5.5 percent in 2004.
"Manufacturing job recoveries are most likely in fabricated metals, machinery, transportation equipment and computers and electronics, which together have accounted for half of the manufacturing job losses," Jerry Jasinowski, NAM's president, said in a statement.
Jasinowski said the economy has lost more than 2.7 million jobs over the past three years and that no more than half of those jobs would return without policy changes.
Threatening the recovery are an overvalued dollar, China's currency controls, and higher manufacturer costs for health care, pensions, regulations, asbestos litigation and energy, according to the NAM report.
"Over the last decade, the prices of manufactured products declined by 4 percent while other business prices rose 18 percent," Jasinowski's said. "This toxic brew is lowering profit margins and reducing cash flow, reducing the funds available for capital investment and jobs."

Christmas on the islands
This morning when we went to breakfast I was not feeling well. I had some nauseau and found it very hard to swallow. I got ready for the day because we were headed down the coast to another seaside town. Our route rap showed some beautiful rolling hills along the coast then a climb to head back down. We started out and I was feeling a little better. Once we started some climbing a few miles in a had to stop because I felt so thirsty. Once I drank ...
Along the coast
... We found a sheltered spot at a jetty and watched high tide waves and enjoyed a snack. The hotel provides a beach bag with towels and waters for your enjoyment. The group met at 5:45 to trek out to the amazing sand dunes. Jakub and Eva setup a blanket with candles, appetizers and wine. There was a guitarist from the islands and we enjoyed hearing about the islands and ...

... and feared I was lost at one point when I could not see Martin. I realized I had no phone, no map and no idea where I was headed so a panic began. Finally I chose a road and biked on to meet up with Eva our leader who had returned to check on me. At 14.4 miles when I got in the van and shuttled on to the hotel. Martin continued on some tough climbs including cobblestones to meet me at the hotel doing 18 miles. We have left the coast and climbed to 3100 ...
Jet lagged exploration
We slept in and ate breakfast buffet on the 23rd floor restaurant. We headed down to the beach to check on where we have to meet the group tomorrow. The beach is full of vacationing families and many people taking surfing lessons. We walked up and down enjoying an outdoor lunch ...
Sailor Girl Meets the Ocean

Facing a lengthy wait for replacement parts, everyone else was forced by other commitments to return home, leaving Scott alone with the task of building a new crew.
By hook and by crook, by miracle and mess, here we are a week later assembled and gathering supplies, waiting for the weather and the final part ...

Your dress is lovely and the fabric is so pretty. I too have made this pattern and once I read the instructions, I thought Vogue had really cheated us on the neckline finish. A purchased bias!!!! I would have thought a proper finish like a facing would have been more professional!! But now that I see how you have finished this neckline, I may redo my dress as it looks so nice and professional. Thanks for sharing. PS: I didn't use a zip either and I set in long sleeves and used a woven bias.

The "audio format" will be about streaming concerts online, and stuff like that.
Maybe a U2 branded concert social network, similar to the Dre branded Beats headphones.
If there is one thing no one can deny, U2 is one of the greatest concert bands, with some of the greatest stadium shows.

I'm 15 and this started about a week or two ago. i'd be really hungry and when i eat, after only about 3 or 4 bites i get extremely full. then about 5 hours later i'd be extremely hungry again and only able to eat 3 or 4 bites. also, I've been really upset lately and i don't know why
A: Please make an appointment with your medical doctor. I hope you already have since this letter came in weeks ago. Not everything is a psychological issue. If you don't know why you're upset and you are having trouble eating, it may be that there is a medical reason. Get that checked out first. If your doctor examinines you thoroughly and runs some tests and you check out okay, then consider seeing a counselor.
I wish you well.

Will other brands fit mopar rear window
I live in Maryland and am missing the rear window on my Mopar soft top.
Will any other brand's rear window fit my soft top (such as Bestop)? I believe Mopar soft tops are factory style soft tops. Or does anyone have an extra Mopar rear window that they would sell to me. |

I have been working at Elemica as an intern
ProsVery laid back work environment, all of my colleagues were very friendly and were always willing to help. Treated like more than an intern, and enjoyed being responsible for new supplier on boarding training sessions.
ConsWould love to have been busy at all times, but some days/weeks went by with little to no work for me to do.

- Application Details
I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at Elemica.
Interview DetailsBecause I was referred into the company, my process was probably abbreviated and more of a formality. However, I was brought around to meet with a number of key personnel in various departments, and questions were quite routine. Since I had traveled in from out of town, I was put up at a nearby hotel that was nice and appropriate.
Interview Questions- There really were not that many difficult questions that I can recall. The focus was really on skills required for the job and how they were used at the last most applicable job, and how they would transfer to this job. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsThere really wasn't much of a negotiation. The annual pay rate was good, and the benefits were really not negotiable. The process ended with a formal, detailed, written offer that covered most of the topics you would want at that stage.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

SUPERbrand Draped Shirt Women's
Low cut back
I had been looking at this shirt for a long time and finally had to get one even though my usual size(small) wasn't in stock I tried the xs to see how it fit. As it turns out the xs fit me quite well, I think the small might have been a bit big on me. I like the low cut back on it, it has a flattering fit and is great to wear on dressier occasions.

Volcom Moclov Tank Top - Women's
Fun and comfortable
I love this tank top! The material is super light weight and very soft, it has a little stretch to it as well. I have worn it several times and have gotten lots of compliments on it. I have the grey with purple on the back and it looks just like the picture. It fits true to size, I'm 125 5'3 and small fits me well.

RVCA Hunter Pullover Sweatshirt - Women's
Cozy and comfortable
This is a really comfortable sweatshirt, I really like the material, it's super soft. It does run a little big so if you don't want the baggier fit I would size down. I an 5'3 125 and got the small which I am going to keep. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the length, I would like it a lot more if it were just normal sweatshirt length so I might change that on my own!

Rainbow Premier Leather 302 Sandal - Women's
So Glad my feet found these
I have been in need of new flip flops for a while and a lot of my friends rave about Rainbows. I decided I would give them a shot and I am so glad I did! When I first tried them on I thought they might be a little small but after wearing them around the house for a while they started to break in. I wore them non stop for about 2 weeks so I could get them broken in quickly and now they are perfect and keep getting more comfortable. They do run true to size, I have a womens size 7 and went with the medium in these and they fit perfectly! Do your feet a favor and get some of these now!

Smith I/OS Interchangeable Goggle
New Favorite
I had been wanting these for a while and finally decided to get them this winter. The fit of them is the best I have had out of any goggle. I have a smaller face and these don't make me look like a bug like a lot of others do. I have the Smith Vantage helmet and they fit perfectly together. I haven't had an issue with any fogging with them at all.

QSW Harbor Dress - Women's
Cute but not for me
This is a super cute and very soft dress but the style just didn't work for me. I was hoping it was a bit shorter but I'm 5'3 and in the back it came down to about mid calf. I don't know what I was expecting but I guess I just wasn't a fan of it as much in person as I was online. I ended up returning it but if you like these style dresses that are shorter in the front then you would probably really like this one!

Great cruiser
I had been looking at this board for a very long time and finally decided to get it and boy am I glad I did!

If you are looking for a nice, lighter weight board that is fun to ride then get this now!

JammyPack Portable Speaker Hip Pack
Jammy Fanny
My sister has had one of these for a while and I have always been jealous so I finally had to get one for myself. It was one of the best purchases I have made in a long time! It is great to have outside at the park when playing games or inside as well. The speakers can totally zip off from the rest of the pack so you can just use it as speakers as well. The fanny pack it's self is a little small, the battery pack takes up a lot of it but it held everything I have needed it to. The sounds is incredibly good! I highly recommend everyone get one!

I clearly saw this coming when Nishio introduce the seven Medaka fiancés in talk between Oudo and Medaka in C#132 but one I thought was going to fight was Zenkichi against 7 Medaka fiances but a guess I was wrong with that but it would be interesting if Hitoyoshi family will also be in this tournament then we can finally see Great physical fight between Zenkichi & Medaka which nearly everybody was waiting for in the last arc but also it would be interesting to see Kumagawa & Kouki in this tournament.

Another way Zenkichi could get involved would be if one of the subfamilies forced him to use "Devil-style" against Medaka again to rob her of her plot-driven advantages. Though knowing Medaka, she wouldn't mind since that would make her fight for freedom all the more meaningful.

I actually wanted medaka to fight with shiranui , nekomi or emukae ( a big cat fight over zenkichi ) but i turned out as opposte . It looks like medaka needs a little character development befoe she goes after zenkichi , also it makes me wonder can this be the promise emukae done with ajimu . While medaka deals with her fiances zenkichi can develop a new love since he just gave up on medaka for her to be happy , i would really like if zenkichi moves on . It can be really fun to watch both medaka and zenkichis lifes from different percpectives like when medaka fight for her freedom zenkichi goes to movie with shiranui . By looking authors style i think in this manga arcs arent important but the developments after them is the real subject so even if medaka wins against her fiances someone can took zenkihi from her in that time Maybe hardest chalange will be taking zenkichis heart back , devil style is making things really impossible for medaka , at least to me it looks she has the least chance to be zenkichis girlfriend .

Zenkichi may like medaka but he doesnt want same things with her even he himself said if you still want same things with me then ill support you so that means zenkichi let medaka go . From now on zenkichi will move on with his love love life with shiranui , nekomi or emukae well there are lots of other girls after him like unzens sister , onigase , akizuki , naze or akashi sempai etc... zenkichi is really popular but we didnt noticed it since medaka was near him all the time now that medaka is out of game all other girls will go after him and in a battle for love that medaka can really loose bad .
2012-04-07, 06:30 | Link #7750 | |
I'm pretty sure we aren't surprised at anything Medaka does by now, so it's very possible Udou is underestimating her. Though, considering how battles in Medaka Box have been as of late, it's hard to tell what this might consist of. It's possible that they go back to how they did the student council battle, but Medaka would just steamroll people, or lose due to technicalities, and that's assuming too much on Udou's behalf. |

hmmmm........so she's fighting the other families for the right to marry who she wants to marry, namely Zenkichi (so she says....for now).
I wonder how this would go if it was reversed, seven girls who like Zenkichi who fight for the right to be his girlfriend........could that happen? |

Before Medaka dragged Zenkichi everywhere putting him in situations without considering his feelings on the matter. Will she do that now? Suffice it to say, now that she's living for herself there's nothing saying that this change does anything for her minimal sense of empathy. On the other hand, "Devil Style" lets Zenkichi defy coincidence, so it could very well keep him from coming if he doesn't want to. I wonder....... |

Before this, Medaka always wanted to include Zenkichi in everything she did but it was nearly always for the sake of someone else that they did virtually anything. He most likely got tired of helping her help others - he wanted to help her for her own sake. He didn't want to share Medaka with anyone and that's what was building up since Chapter 0 all the way to when she fought Kumagawa - she became an 'individual of the people'.

U.S. Edition
During what Amnesty International calls "the worst human rights situation in 50 years," 250,000 people have fled Mali as Islamic militants, with links to Al-Qaeda, took control of the northern part of the country.
A message for Mali
OutFront first reported on the crisis during the coup in March and, this week, Erin Burnett became the first U.S. anchor to broadcast live and on-site from a Malian refugee camp, just miles from the country's border.
Why Mali matters: al Qaeda on the rise
During her time at the camp, she was moved by the stories she heard, particularly those from children.
One of the most disturbing aspects of the crisis that touched Erin was a projection by the World Food Program that Malian refugee camps would run out of food in the next month. And Erin saw it first hand - the immense need for food and water. She also saw young children at the camp playing with small dead birds – their toys – and expressed how meaningful it would be to have soccer balls to play with instead.
Erin Burnett 'OutFront' with Mali's refugee children
Hoping to improve the situation, Erin Burnett OutFront wants to do something to help. We are calling it OutFront OutReach to give the crisis a platform, and so that our many viewers can give directly to the Malian refugee crisis.
OutFront OutReach is working with Save the Children to send food, water, and medicine to refugees. Please feel free to follow this link to give food and water to Malian refugees as part of Save the Children: Mali Hunger Crisis Children in Emergency Fund.
OutFront OutReach is also working with One World Futbol Project to donate specially made soccer balls to Mali. The new initiative is called "Balls to Mali," and the balls will go directly to the Mali Refugee Camp. Please follow the link to make a donation. Note: One World Futbol Project is a for-profit organization and you will not receive a tax deduction from your donation.
There are other organizations helping out with Mali as well – feel free to follow these links and support these organizations as well
The United States Association for UNHCR (USA for UNHCR) supports the UN Refugee Agency's humanitarian work to protect and assist refugees around the world. This fund goes toward helping provide food, water, and shelter to Malian refugees.
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. This fund allocates money to help fight the West Africa food & Mali refugee crisis in Niger and Mauritania.
Oxfam America is an international relief and development organization that creates lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice. This West Africa Food Crisis Fund helps aid the Malian refugees in Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mauritania.
World Food Programme is the food aid arm of the United Nations system. This fund goes toward providing food to those affected by the refugee & hunger crisis by aiding the Malian refugees in Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mauritania.
Expecting some dough soon... Do these kids still need Plumpy'nut & soccer balls?
Are they still there?
"After the life I've been given by the American people, I'd be ashamed if I didn't do it." (Pres. Clinton, CGIU 2013)
Wonder how these kids are doing, or where the heck they are.
Wonderful work, and ideas so we can all be more aware and do something to help! Thank you!!!
You gotta do more of these OutReach segments. Of course, try not to put yourselves to far into harm's way or anything, but this is real "good works" stuff.
Good stuff. Well done.

A family is heartbroken after their puppy was stolen out of their car while they shopped at the Westfield Albany mall.
Daniel and Alix Paterson bought Honey, a shar pei-staffy cross, as a friend for 4-year-old daughter Maia.
Alix says the theft is heartbreaking and the family is devastated.
"Every day our little daughter keeps saying: 'Are you going to get Honey back today?' and we just tell her we're trying."
The dog was only 12 weeks old when he was stolen.
The Patersons left Honey in the car with the windows about 10 centimetres down while they visited the mall for about an hour on May 2.
Alix says they take the puppy everywhere with them.
When the family returned to the car one of the back doors was unlocked, Honey was gone and a note was left, telling the owners to call Animal Control.
A phone number was also written, but turned out to be a fax number.
Alix and Daniel have contacted Animal Control and vet clinics as well as placing notices on Pets on the Net and Trade Me. "We're doing everything we can really," Daniel says.
Police have also checked with Animal Control and failed to find Honey.
The Patersons' car has been examined and police are waiting for forensic results.
Honey was taken between 1pm and 2pm on May 2 from the Westfield Albany car park.
The Patersons are offering a reward for any information that leads to his safe return.
Call North Shore police on 477 5000 or call the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 if you have information about the theft.

Steroids (cont.) IN THIS ARTICLESide Effects of Prolonged Steroid Abuse
Patient Comments
Initial signs that anabolic steroids are being abused may include rapid weight gain and unusual mood swings. Emotions may include increased aggressiveness. Acne is almost always seen. The side effects of steroids can be explained by the excess androgen and anabolic drug levels present in the body. The use of steroids suppresses the naturally occurring testosterone in the body and, in males, may lead to a decrease in testicle size (atrophy), decreased sperm production, infertility, and baldness. As well, the excess steroid can be converted to estrogen in males and may lead to enlarged breasts (known as gynecomastia). In females, the excess testosterone production may lead to a deeper voice, changes in the menstrual cycle, and increased hair production. Baldness may also be seen in women. These steroids also have direct effects on numerous organs:
In adolescents who have yet to complete growing, the use of steroids may stunt growth and stop bones, joints, and muscles from reaching full maturity. As well, premature sexual development may occur. Medically Reviewed by a Doctor on 7/29/2014

Clean Air Act:
Historical Information on EPA's Process for Reviewing California Waiver Requests and Making Waiver Determinations
GAO-09-249R: Published: Jan 16, 2009. Publicly Released: Feb 17, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Emissions from mobile sources, such as automobiles and trucks, contribute to air quality degradation and can threaten public health and the environment. Under the Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates these emissions. The act generally allows one set of federal standards for new motor vehicle emissions and pre-empts states from adopting or enforcing their own standards. However, it also authorizes the EPA Administrator to waive this provision to allow the state of California1 to enact and enforce emission standards for new motor vehicles that are as protective, in the aggregate, as federal government standards. Other states may also adopt California's standards if they choose. The waiver provision was added to the Federal Air Quality Act (one of the precursors of the current Clean Air Act) in 1967 because of California's severe air pollution problems and because the state had already established its own emission standards for mobile sources. California has used this waiver provision regularly to establish and enforce standards for vehicle emissions more stringent than those required by federal law. However, California must request a waiver of federal pre-emption and the EPA Administrator must approve it before California or any other state can implement such standards. Since being given this authority, California has requested and been granted waivers more than 50 times. In December 2005, California requested a waiver from EPA to allow it to regulate motor vehicle emissions of greenhouse gases, which are closely linked to global climate change. At the time, EPA was responding to litigation initiated by environmental groups and state and local governments regarding whether greenhouse gas emissions were air pollutants that the agency had authority to regulate under the Clean Air Act. EPA delayed action on California's waiver request pending the outcome of that litigation. On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the question in Massachusetts v. EPA by holding that EPA did have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, on December 19, 2007, the EPA Administrator announced his intent to deny California's request. The Administrator subsequently formalized the denial in a decision document he signed and EPA published in the Federal Register on March 6, 2008. The decision has received a high level of attention for a number of reasons. For example, it departed in certain respects from EPA's previous waiver determinations--it was the first time that EPA denied a formal waiver request outright, and it also was the first time EPA used the "compelling and extraordinary conditions" criterion in the Clean Air Act as the basis for denying a waiver request. Due to the atypical outcome of EPA's decision regarding California's greenhouse gas waiver request, Congress asked GAO to review the decision to deny the waiver. As agreed with Congressional offices, we focused our work on the process for and outcomes of past waiver requests because the greenhouse gas waiver decision is the subject of ongoing litigation. Thus, we did not seek to examine the basis for the greenhouse gas decision itself or the process EPA used in reviewing this waiver request. This report summarizes the information about prior waiver requests and decisions provided to Congressional staff during our November 21, 2008, briefing.
EPA's process for responding to waiver requests has typically consisted of an informal five-step process, through which staff evaluate the waiver request and review its adherence to criteria laid out in section 209(b) of the Clean Air Act. According to EPA officials, the agency (1) receives and begins review of the waiver request; (2) issues a notice in the Federal Register about the waiver request, including the opportunity for a hearing; (3) holds a hearing, if interest is expressed, and accepts public comments on the proposed waiver; (4) holds internal discussions and conducts internal analysis on the waiver request, including consideration of public comments; and (5) prepares a decision document and publishes the decision in the Federal Register. EPA officials said that as the draft decision document is routed through the approval chain at EPA, it is typically accompanied by a draft Federal Register notice, which lays out the decision and the three statutory criteria in section 209(b) and summarizes the analysis behind the decision. The draft decision document is also usually accompanied by an "action memorandum" that identifies the issues, examines the three Clean Air Act section 209(b) criteria, summarizes public comments, discusses anticipated reaction from external parties and potential for litigation, and provides a recommendation for action. For the past 15 years, several officials in EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality have been the primary staff involved in reviewing waiver requests and preparing documents supporting decisions. Typically, EPA's Office of General Counsel then reviews these documents before a final decision is made by EPA's Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. According to the EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality officials involved in the process over the past 15 years, the approving official's decisions have generally aligned with staff recommendations to approve waivers, whether in full or in part. While some of these steps are documented in the Federal Register and the public docket that EPA maintains for each decision, others--specifically internal discussions, internal analyses, decision document drafts, and the documents that accompany the drafts through the approval chain--are generally not formally documented, retained, or made publicly available. In addition, the contents of the public dockets for waiver decisions are not standardized and vary from decision to decision. The majority of the dockets were prepared 10 or more years ago, and we could not determine the extent to which they are complete. Consequently, it is not feasible to identify the specific internal actions that EPA has taken or the discussions the agency has held with internal and external parties when deliberating previous waiver requests.
