Shea Weber, Nashville Predators
A solid defenseman, Weber's playoff beard would probably also make him eligible for an audition to play Paul Bunyan in a movie. He might be able to do so, after the Predators were knocked out of the playoffs by the Canucks in the Western Conference semifinals in six games. Weber had five points in 12 games.

What is the ideal rails server? Lets assume its on a VPS, such as Linode. Lets assume that any of the sites won't become the next twitter, but they should scale well. It must also support multiple sites and all sites are rails 3. And the database must be on the same server (for now).
Should it use apache or nginx?
Ruby Enterprise Edition or just normal Ruby?
Ideal linux distro?
MySQL, PostgreSQL or something else?

Green Cities fund brings new life to Gerding Edlen
- Wendy Culverwell
- Staff Reporter- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Fresh from raising $183 million for its first-ever real estate fund, Portland's most-watched green developer will launch a second fund this year.
Gerding Edlen Fund Management LLC, the investment arm of Gerding Edlen Development Co., closed its Gerding Edlen Green Cities 1 LP fund this month.
Molly Bordonaro, senior vice president, said the unnamed second fund will likely launch this quarter and will invest in the same urban infill apartment projects as the first.
"We see a significant play," she said.
Gerding Edlen launched Green Cities 1 in late 2009 with the stated goal of raising $500 million. The economy derailed that, but observers said the fund is still a success.
Bruce Korter, managing director of Washington Capital Management, called $183 million a remarkable tally for a first-time fund.
"They did that in a period of about three years, starting from scratch. They did a very good job," said Bruce Korter, managing director of Washington Capital Management.
Fueled by pension funds, insurance companies and endowments, Gerding Edlen invested the proceeds of Green Cities 1 in seven mostly unbuilt apartment development projects to answer soaring demand for rentals in city neighborhoods like ones in Seattle, Los Angeles and Boston.
New life
The fund's success is breathing new life into Gerding Edlen. The firm faced dark days when the recession dried up demand for its glitzy condominiums, causing it to falter as lenders took control of several projects and equity investors were wiped out.
But even as the firm cut its development staff in half, it was expanding its multifamily management business, increasing its staff to about 50.

Hi: 8° Lo:1°
STAFF and students at a Vale school are preparing for a huge party to celebrate its 80th anniversary next month.
Pershore High School will be hosting a celebration of the milestone with an afternoon tea event on Thursday, June 21 and are urging former pupils and staff from the school to visit and make it a day to remember.
The school opened its doors for the first time in January 1932 when it was originally known as Pershore County Senior School and taught a total of 480 children.
The new school should have welcomed its first pupils in the previous September but problems with the building work meant it could not open until a term later. The opening saw 430 pupils first meet headmaster Mr Pardoe and his 13 teachers.
Now the school holds more than 1,500 pupils and during its 80-year history the Station Road school has seen just five headteachers at the helm.
The celebratory events begin at 4.30pm on June 21 and the school's current headteacher Clive Corbett told the Observer it was going to be a great afternoon for young and old alike.
He said: "It is going to be a great occasion and everyone here is working hard and is excited about celebrating the event in style.
"It will be great for all the community to come together and share their great memories of the school. We are lucky here to have such a great history and visitors will be able to see old photographs and memorabilia which best reflect our past.
"We have a new catchphrase saying 'We are proud of its history and are confident of its future' and when you think about it everything we do here plays a big part in the school's history and the future as we are taking care of the next generation's youngsters," he added.
To mark the occasion Mr Corbett is writing a book titled 'Pershore High School - A History of 80 Years' which will be available to buy on the day.
Plans are also in the making for current students to design a special commemorative garden as part of the school's celebrations.
For more information about the event call the school on 01386 552471 or e-mail email@example.com.

G-car teardown
Posted in Geo on January 1, 2012
In preparation for sale, the Geo has been relocated to the backyard so I can work on it and keep the Z in the driveway. The interior has been removed to get at the stereo, seatbelt sensors, and alarm system for rewiring.
Once I'm satisfied with the interior electrical work, the seats and trim will get a good cleaning and go back in for the last time, with any missing screws and fasteners being replaced along the way. Engine and exhaust work will follow.
Bose Knows
Posted in 300ZX on August 3, 2011
The OEM 'Premium' Bose stereo had some common issues, like whine and popping in the rear speakers caused by the amplifiers failing. I replaced all the electrolytic capacitors, and the system is now functional. Next I'll be adding a 1/8″ stereo input via the OEM CD changer connection, and may attempt to integrate a subwoofer with some crossover trickery.
I also replaced the starter (no more grind), replaced all engine vacuum lines, fixed the hatch release, hatch lock cylinder, among other things. Once the current minor repair list is complete, paint and wheels are next, maybe some tint as well. I may need to take apart the top of the engine to replace valve cover seals, but all the seals recently replaced on the lower-half of the engine are clean and tight.

In regard to the recent letter from a citizen criticizing the three Tuscaloosa police officers at the Hillcrest vs. Keith basketball game at Central High School, as a parent, I appreciate the officers for their dedication to duty. Not everyone goes to watch the players. Many of us watch the cheerleaders and pep bands. I commend the school board for hiring these fine TPD officers to keep order during games. Our community is blessed to have Chief Swindle and his dedicated officers, who many times do not receive the just credit they deserve. Thanks TPD for a job well done.
The responsibility of The Tuscaloosa News is to report the news, whether it is positive or negative. To suggest that negative articles printed in the paper is one of the main problems of the Tuscaloosa City Schools is ludicrous. The Tuscaloosa News has nothing to do with the superintendents and boards decisions. It would be wonderful to only have positive news to print. However, until we have a picture-perfect society, news articles should remain unbiased. The Tuscaloosa News should simply report the news as it happens.

Meet Our Students
Considering pursuing your DNP at Regis?
Read our student testimonials to gain additional insight into doctoral studies at Regis:
Ann Corcoran, DNP '12
Mercy College, MSN, 2000
Mercy College, BS 1988
Cochran School of Nursing, Yonkers, NY, AAS 1983
About Ann
Ann Corcoran lives with her husband and two children in Highland Mills, NY. She is currently an Instructor of Nursing @ Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, NY.
Why did you choose the Regis DNP program?
As full time faculty, we are required to pursue and obtain a doctoral degree. Several of my colleagues had received the DNP degree. They voiced their satisfaction with the courses and foundation that this degree option provided for the nurse educator. I started Regis College in January, 2010, after two of my fellow faculty had begun the program and encouraged me to apply.
What have you enjoyed about the program?
Despite a three and a half hour drive, I found the classes to be conducive to my schedule (monthly trips to the college) with accessible online learning through Moodle. I have enhanced my teaching practice techniques as an educator and improved my own critical thinking strategies. It is a challenging program, but provides and excellent learning experience. My fellow students provide encouragement and support during the various classes.
What advice would you give to prospective students?
The advice I would give to prospective students is to learn time management! Full-time employment, family life and responsibilities do not mix well with a DNP program without structured time management. I have learned to keep on top of readings and assignments; faculty have been helpful in providing feedback. I encourage prospective students to consider Regis College for the DNP degree!

Did not like anything very poor Nohel just plain simple boring

the hot breakfast was less than perfect, the sausages were cheap and fatty tasting, the eggs were so dry they had gone hard.
How close it was to the beach
The room decore the breakfast Abd pool not open
Me and my partner like there thing
there was nothing we didn't like
Pool was closed!!! Children are not considered with any entertainment!!
Liked the hotel staff was nice and hotel had a good feel about it
Packing was a bit chaos as everyone seemed to turn up together and limited spaces
This hotel was not plush and there are plenty of steps & stairs to negotiate BUT it's in keeping with the building.Food was great plenty of it and good choices.The hotel seems to work at keeping staff employed all year which is great to see/hear.Entertainment excellent especially Graeme Dee.
The swimming pool was closed & empty. Roger the manager offered to refund cost of Rivera Pool but you have to be fully dressed for winter to get to it and be out in elements.Seemed like a bit of discord among some staff and not good to hear it.A manager needs to take control not tell clients that staff only paid for limited hours so they have to finish within certain time.Despite this would I go back again. Yes it's value for money.
Breakfast started too late for me. I needed to be at work by 8:00am
The bed was not comfortable and was very soft in the middle. I was looking forward to using the swimming pool but was told that it was closed due to maintenance - this was after booking.
Excellent value for money. Not the most plush but clean, tidy friendly and excellent facilities. Evening entertainment a nice bonus.
Very large premises and our groups rooms were a long way apart
Friendly staff and great entertainment.
Coming home.
Meals were excellent - great variation in menu and food was hot at all times. Evening cabaret ( especially Thursday ) also excellent
Everything about the Rainbow and Torquay was very enjoyable.
the staff are very friendly and the breakfast is very good
the pool etc is quite cold and the entertainment is aimed at the older generation
My prior experience stay in Torquay not good the Rainbow made it good again room for one good all facilities the breakfast in the morning well worth me getting up (I ate enough for two) nobody stopped me and from a buffet point of view good not dried up like some
Noisey neighbours door slamming not the hotels fault. Bit tight for space car parking
We thought that all of the staff was very polite helpfull and friendly.the food was very good and plenty of it so well done to all kitchen staff who worked very hard.The other guest was all very friendly.
The bed was very uncomfortable and creaked on any movement we had to ask for extra blankets to lie on.the hotel was not suitable for elderly guests with a mobility problem and there was stairs to negotiate when wanting to use the toilet or the main function room the hotel needs a major update very soon.
the staff were very helpful , swimming pool dinning room food every thing was lovely
the woman swearing at a member of staff felt so sorry for her
Location of the hotel was good close enough to walk to the centre, uphill on the way back but not too hard. Staff excellent, very helpful and friendly. Good Value.
slightly tired but the rooms were clean and the bedlinen fresh and good quality.
Good sized room. Nice view.
Food was poor quality. A single cheap sachet of shower gel between us was not replaced after use. Empty sachets from previous occupants were still in the shower.
the freedom dining and Wi-Fi access and bar staff quick and effiecent all you need for relaxing holiday
coach parties just rude talked all the through cabaret acts all week spoilt it for everyone
The night staff were very, very helpful as were the waiting staff in the restaurant and the lovely lady that cleaned the room. Loads of really hot water which is always very welcome.
The lift is so inadquate and for some reason we had a room with 4 beds for 2 of us and therefore no room to move we did not suit our needs at all
The food was excellent entertainment was good and an enjoyable break
The fuse tripped a couple of times in our room

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

OPI and Coca-Cola Partnering on Summer Nail Polish Collection

"As the global leader in the professional nail industry, OPI is thrilled to partner with the world's top beverage company, The Coca-Cola Company," said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder and Executive Vice President. "These two iconic brands truly deliver happiness in a bottle – whether it's a refreshing, invigorating sip of Coke or a set of fingers and toes perfectly polished with OPI nail lacquer."
Feeling Gray: Essie Nail Polish in Chinchilly
I'm a gray nail polish kind of girl. Gray is what I naturally gravitate to when I'm at the nail salon or in the store shopping for new colors. It's neutral and edgy all at the same time. Anyway, for the past four years, my favorite gray nail polish has been OPI's You Don't Know Jacques! – a dark greige (combo of gray and brown). And I didn't think any gray lacquer could get more love from me, until my mom (of all people) introduced me to Essie's Chinchilly.
Mama Spoiled Pretty, who usually rocks bright and metallic manicures, tried Chinchilly on a whim and has been obsessed ever since. She wears it quite often, and when she does, I always notice her nails and tell her how nice they look. So this weekend, while spending the day at my parents' house, I decided to try Chinchilly for myself. In the bottle, it looks like a lighter version of my OPI fave. But on my nails, the gray leans a little lavender – which gives it a more feminine feel. It also looks amazeballs with a sparkly topcoat.
The shade is universally flattering, which I don't often say (because most of the time, it's not true). Honestly, I've seen this color on tons of women and it looks great on everyone. I can't believe it took me this long to get acquainted.
I love Jacques, but Chinchilly is what I'll reach for – from now on – when I'm feeling gray.
OPI Partners with Mariah Carey for New Nail Polish Collection
This month, OPI launches eight new limited edition shades inspired and hand-selected by multiple Grammy Award winning recording artist Mariah Carey. These shades include four new OPI Liquid Sand™ lacquers featuring groundbreaking technology for a textured, matte finish infused with reflective sparkle.
"OPI is extremely excited to work with Mariah," says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. "She's very passionate about beauty and her nails in particular. Her music, which includes 18 Billboard No. 1 singles, served as a wonderful inspiration for glamorous, sultry, vibrant colors.
"To pay homage to her iconic status, we wanted to launch her collection with something completely new and exciting. OPI Liquid Sand nail lacquer offers a never-before-seen look with a pebbled finish that lightly shimmers with fine glitter particles. Worn without top coat, Liquid Sand lacquer gives nails a unique textured matte finish worthy of a superstar."
Mariah Carey by OPI includes four Studio Shades – ranging from pink glitter to rich plum crème – and four Stage Shades – each featuring the new textured finish. Studio Shades include:
Stage Shades include: Stay the Night (Make it last in this matte black with red glints), Get Your Number (Wearing this matte blue with sparkles is a great call), Can't Let Go (Hold onto this matte purple with dazzling sparkle), and The Impossible (This matte fuchsia with star confetti will never give up). OPI Liquid Sand lacquers should always be worn without top coat.
This collection is available beginning January 2013 at professional salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard's, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each nail lacquer.

Ackman Unveils Fannie and Freddie Strategy
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Fannie Mac (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) shares rallied late Monday after hedge fund investor Bill Ackman detailed his thinking in owning common shares of the mortgage giant at the Ira Sohn Conference and in an interview with CNBC.
President Obama last year stated his desire to wind down Fannie and Freddie in an effort to reduce the government's role in the mortgage market. Currently more than about 90% of new mortgages rely on government backing.
However, the legislation favored by the President to reduce the government's footprint appears to be going nowhere, and Ackman told CNBC Monday private market solutions to housing are "not feasible." He argues the government sponsored entities, which ran into trouble during the crisis and were placed under government conservatorship in 2008, are low risk as long as they stay away from subprime mortgages and stay out of what he called the "fixed income arbitrage business." Ackman was presumably referring to the GSEs' use of derivatives to bet on the direction of interest rates, which in the decade preceding the 2008 crisis became a risky side business to their main function of guaranteeing mortgages and issuing mortgage backed securities.
"I am prepared to sit down and make a deal with the government regarding Fannie and Freddie," Ackman said at the conference, according to The Wall Street Journal's Marketwatch.
While the U.S. Treasury currently receives all the profits from Fannie and Freddie, Ackman reasons the government won't want to continue to be responsible for the GSEs because it would eventually require taking their $5 trillion in liabililties onto the government's balance sheet, thus increasing the national debt by that amount. Shares of Fannie and Freddie, which were in negative territory most of the day, rose in the final hour of trading after Ackman made his comments. Fannie shares ended the day up 3.02% at $4.10, while Freddie shares were up 6.28% to $4.23. Follow @dan_freedCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Mikey Kudo (工藤タイキ Kudō Taiki?, lit. "Taiki Kudo") is a main character in Digimon Fusion, and serves as its protagonist through its first two seasons. Mikey is described in V-Jump magazine as "a hot-blooded 7th grader who saves the weak." He leads the red "Fusion Fighters" army, and is partnered with Shoutmon. Among others, Dorulumon, Starmons, Ballistamon and Cutemon also accompany him. Mikey's childhood friend Angie Hinomoto and classmate (and self-proclaimed "eternal rival") Jeremy Tsurgi complete the posse. He is athletic and cannot turn down a challenge. He has genius capabilities but is naive about such abilities. His father is a sports trainer who travels throughout Japan.[1] As the General of Fusion Fighters, Mikey possesses a red Fusion Loader, which allows his soldiers to "digifuse", allowing them to fuse together. Mikey is also able to hear the DigiMelodies of dying Digimon.
After Bagramon's defeat, Mikey leads the "Xros Heart" basketball team, whose members end up participating in the Digimon Hunt.
His Japanese name, "Taiki" (タイキ?) means "Person of great talent" (大器?)[2]. His American name is likely a pun on "mike", in reference to Shoutmon's weapon.
Mikey is a young boy with gray eyes and spiky brown hair. He wears a black shirt under another blue shirt with a white oval with yellow borders and a yellow "t" in the chest and yellow line on the left arm. He also wears black leggings under brown shorts and belt, a red jacket, green goggles, red and white shoes, white gloves, and wears a Squawker on his left wrist. Interestingly, his design resembles a "fusion" of traits of previous male leads. He seems to have a mix of Tai's and Takuya's hairstyles, with Tai's white gloves, Davis's hair color, Takato's blue shirt, shorts and tennis shoes, and the reddish vest colors from both Takuya and Marcus. In the manga, after the battle against Tactimon's forces at Corridor Zone, Angie notices the damage on his jacket. Xros World!! The Secret of the Two Worlds!? In the Digimon Data Collection skits, the oval with a "t" is replaced by a white circle with black borders and a black "ta" (た?).
After returning to the Human World, Mikey starts wearing a shirt that is red on the left side and blue on the right, with the two colors separated by a white soundwave-shaped line. He also wears darker shorts, a brown belt, black socks, and red shoes. His shirt is later emblazoned with the Fusion Fighters emblem by Omnimon. In the manga he starts wearing those after fighting Tactimon's forces at Corridor Zone.
A year later, Mikey grew a bit taller and has a different hairstyle. He now wears a red shirt that is white on its right side, with a yellow stripe on the bottom, two yellow lines in the arms, and with a symbol that a mix of a crown and a reptile footprint. He also wears red and blue zig-zaged wristband on his hands, gray shorts, a brown belt, white socks, and dark red shoes.
Mikey has an overly outgoing personality. He is always happy, and often tries to see the good in his enemies, much to Shoutmon's chagrin. His motto is "I can't turn my back on anyone." Mikey cares for pretty much everyone, and wishes for an all good world where no one is evil. He has a tendency to never refuse a favor asked to him and often overexerts himself to the point of collaspe and even endangering himself, which often gets him yelled at by Angie. Mikey is however, shown to be a natural leader, looking out for his army, friends, as well as complete strangers.
Mikey is a child prodigy, being very athletic and a highly skilled strategist. He participates in many sports like basketball and kendo while showing immeadiate expertise despite just starting out. Using these abilties, he is able to adapt to any situation in order to turn the tide of battle. He has a habit of flicking his fingers on his googles whenever he gets a good idea.
Mikey lives with his mother. He defeated Jeremy Tsurgi in a kendo match.
After having a strange dream about monsters in another world, Mikey wakes up and runs to help out a friend with a basketball game, before suddenly collapsing from exhaustion. After the game, he and Angie sit outside the sports center when Jeremy shows up and challenges Mikey to a Kendo rematch. But hearing a voice begging for his help, Mikey follows the voice and finds a small transparent version of a dying Shoutmon. All of a sudden a blinding light shows him a white Fusion Loader, a mysterious voice asks him if he wants to save Shoutmon. Answering that he does, Mikey receives his Fusion Loader before he, Angie and Jeremy are transported to the Digital World. There, Mikey and his friends are formally introduced to Shoutmon as they help him deal with a Bagra Army platoon under MadLeomon. Moved by Shoutmon's sincere wish to become the King of the Digital World in order to bring peace to it, Mikey decides to help Shoutmon and the two form their own faction comprising them and their friends: "Fusion Fighters".
Mikey Goes To Another World! He is Shoutmon, Hear Him Roar!
It was only after MadLeomon's defeat, crossing paths with the rival group Blue Flare under Christopher Aonuma, that Mikey learns more about the Code Crowns from another human with a Fusion Loader, Nene Amano, as he and the Fusion Fighters go on a quest to retrieve the Code Crowns from the Bagra Army. During their travels, obtaining DigiCards along the way, Mikey meets many friendly Digimon and a few former Bagra Army members who join their cause. But other than the Bagra Army, Mikey contends with Twilight, a group secretly led by AxeKnightmon with Nene as pawn. After Nene is rescued from AxeKnightmon, who created the Darkness Loader to execute DigiXros without her help, she and her Digimon companions also join the Fusion Fighters.
After all 108 Code Crowns were claimed, Tactimon manages to steal Mikey and Christopher's Code Crowns. Though Tactimon is defeated by teamwork by the rival groups, Bagramon arrives and takes the Code Crowns for himself before sending Mikey, Angie, Jeremy, Shoutmon to the human world to ensure the Fusion Fighters' core members would not interfere. Learning that time in the Digital World runs faster than in the Real World, Mikey attempts to fulfill Angie and Jeremy's requests to him before he tells them his decision to return to the Digital World to save their friends. This attracts Omnimon's attention as he reveals himself and explains the origin of the DigiMemories and the history of the Digital World and how he ended up in the Real World as a DigiMemory while finding a child who can hear DigiMelodies: Mikey. Despite Tactimon's appearance in the real world before OmniShoutmon destroys him, Mikey gives a heartfelt goodbye to both Angie and Jeremy before he and Shoutmon leave for the Digital World as they must be left behind because Omnimon only has enough power to send Mikey back.
Upon returning to the Digital World, Mikey and Shoutmon learn from Lillymon that Bagramon had it reconstructed into a realm surrounding by Seven Kingdoms, each ruled by a Death General with their own Darkness Loaders.

England manager Roy Hodgson takes positives from Euro 2012
Roy Hodgson is using Germany's example as proof England fans should not feel too negative about the future of the national side.
Yet again in Kiev last night, England crashed out at the quarter-final stage of a major competition on penalties.
The fact they were comprehensively outplayed by an Italy side who themselves would appear to have their work cut out when they take on co-favourites Germany in their Euro 2012 semi-final in Warsaw on Thursday underlines how much work Hodgson has in front of him.
However, Hodgson does not feel the situation is quite that bleak.
After all, he recalls the difficulties Germany were in prior to the 2006 World Cup, and how much progress they have made since then, as evidence to prove the speed with which fortunes can change.
"Germany went into that tournament unfancied, with a new coach, a lot of new players we didn't know much about and older ones who had failed in previous tournaments," he said.
"We have seen how well they have kicked on since 2006 and have to take heart from that."
Hodgson's optimism is fuelled by the emergence of a promising crop of young players.
Danny Welbeck, Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all gained valuable experience in Poland and Ukraine, Phil Jones and Martin Kelly will also benefit from being around the squad.
Hodgson hinted Kyle Walker and Chris Smalling would have been involved had they not suffered late season injuries, while Jack Wilshere would surely have made the squad too had he not failed to make an appearance all season.
"There is good reason for optimism," he said.
"We have some players coming through who are doing quite well at Under-21 level and I will be interested to see how they do in the Olympics.
"If it had not been for injuries to people like Smalling and Walker there would have been even more young players with us here.
"We have to believe. We have to see the positives where we can and try and ignore the fact that yes, it is another failure on paper because we have not got past the quarter-final stage.
"I don't believe there is as much negativity as perhaps there was.
"But the only way we can build upon what we have done here is by qualifying for Brazil and, when that tournament comes around, trying to better our previous record."
The words are easy to say. Making them effective is far harder.
After all, the so-called Golden Generation has now come to an end without threatening to end that long wait for a major trophy.
And compared specifically to the current Germany team and a Spain side aiming to become the first country to win three major trophies in a row, England actually look further away than ever.
Once more, the frenetic pace on show every week in the Premier League is being cited as a reason for failure.
It would be silly to expect any change on that front given the 20 top-flight clubs have just pocketed a staggering £3billion domestic TV deal purely because of the excitement on offer.
"Leagues are not nations," said Hodgson.
"Our league contains many teams that don't have one English player.
"Having said that, I still think we have more than enough good Englishmen playing in the league to put together a good England national team."
As the present situation has existed for so long, it is hard to imagine any change for a generation, once the new FA coaching hub at St George's Park has begun to have an impact.
After all, if it is going to take a while for the coaches to be coached, the players will be waiting even longer to benefit.
It raises the very real possibility that improvement will not come until after Hodgson's four-year contract has come to an end.
"I would be very happy if that was the case," he said.
"I would like to benefit from it myself of course. It would be even better if that was the case.
"But the fact is when you have been given a job like I have it is a great responsibility, not only for a particular team but for the whole of English football.
"The success of anybody can quite often be measured in what he leaves behind and what happens after they have left.
"I shall be working very hard, not only to win the matches for the team I am working with but also trying to help the FA in any way they think is required to make certain English football continues to progress.
"If we accept, at the moment, people like Germany and Spain are better than us, let's work hard to try and narrow that gap."

This project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, under the Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization (HCFO) initiative, grant number 29201. An earlier version of the paper was presented at the 1999 annual meeting of the Population Association of America. The authors are grateful to Linda Bilheimer, Pam Loprest, Stan Panis, Cori Uccello, Sheila Zedlewski, and especially Len Burman for helpful comments and advice. The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics worthy of public consideration. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders.
Employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) coverage has special importance for the near elderly. Unlike elderly Americans, those in their late fifties and early sixties are not eligible for Medicare benefits, unless they are disabled. Because the risk of expensive health problems increases with age in adulthood, non-group health insurance coverage can be prohibitively expensive for the near elderly. Going without health insurance altogether can be especially risky, because the threat of serious health problems can expose uninsured near-elderly persons to catastrophic health care costs. Employers, then, may provide the only affordable source of health insurance coverage for most persons approaching the Medicare eligibility age.
Because of their importance, health benefits can be a major factor in the retirement decision. For workers receiving health benefits from their employers that do not continue after retirement, the loss of coverage can be costly and can discourage retirement before workers become eligible for Medicare. For many insured workers, coverage can continue after retirement, either in the form of retiree health insurance (RHI) subsidized by the employer or through federally-mandated continuation coverage, for which the former employee bears the entire cost. However, coverage can be quite expensive when not subsidized by an employer, and subsidized RHI coverage can be substantially more costly than the benefits received by an active employee. Thus, even for workers with RHI, the health insurance costs associated with retirement can be large and can act as powerful disincentives to early retirement. If current trends continue and RHI coverage becomes less available and more costly in the future, health insurance costs may emerge as an even more important factor in the early retirement decision in coming decades.
This paper estimates the effects of health insurance costs on early retirement for a sample of full-time workers ages 55 to 61. Although previous studies have examined the relationship between post-retirement health insurance options available to the worker and retirement decisions, they have not considered the role of the cost of health insurance in the early retirement decision. Given the wide variation in cost sharing across different health insurance plans, it is important to model explicitly the impact of costs, especially in light of evidence that RHI coverage has become more expensive in recent years. By quantifying the effects of health insurance costs on labor supply decisions, we were able to estimate not only the impact of RHI coverage on early retirement rates, but also to simulate the effects of different health reform initiatives that have recently been proposed. In particular, we examined the potential impact on retirement of Medicare buy-in options, tax deductions and tax credits for insurance premium expenses, and extensions of the federally-mandated period during which employers must provide continuation coverage to their former workers.

Jan. 27, 2012 -- Zak DeOssie '03 helped lead Big Blue baseball to a Central New England Championship in 2002, and his winning ways continue in the NFL as DeOssie and the New York Giants prepare to battle the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.
A long-snapper and special teams lynchpin, DeOssie won a title with the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. He was a baseball, basketball, and football standout at Andover before earning First-Team All-Ivy League honors for three consecutive years as a linebacker at Brown University. DeOssie was the 116th player chosen in the 2007 NFL draft and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2009.
DeOssie will face a familiar Super Bowl foe in Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. A 1971 Andover graduate, Belichick has guided the Patriots to a trio of Super Bowl championships and was named AP NFL Coach of the Year for the 2003, 2007, and 2010 seasons.

Palm Beach, Fla., has long had strict laws banning horses. But the community recently opened up with an equestrian competition at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. Here, a woman crossed Worth Avenue, the town's famed high-end shopping strip. — By Charles Passy
With its gated oceanfront estates and highly selective private clubs, the resort has long been associated with the blue-blooded names of finance, philanthropy and politics and with a way of life that is elegant, refined and more than a little demure. Here, shoppers at 150 Worth Avenue, a plaza dominated by luxury retailers. See Palm Beach lifts ban on horses — briefly
The real point of the equestrian event was perhaps an unspoken one: If Palm Beach was allowing horses to gallop on its lawns, maybe it was finally embracing a new social order. Here, Natascha Fasnakis, owner of Kiosk, a funky boutique at 150 Worth Avenue.
A crowd of about 600 attended the equestrian competition at Mar-a-Lago. Here, guests walked past a row of luxury vehicles.
Horse figurines floated in the Mar-a-Lago pool.
The crowd was treated to a brief performance by Cassadee Pope, a native of the Palm Beach area who was recently crowned the winner of NBC's "The Voice" singing competition. Here, Pope stood with Trump during a raffle.
The event was hosted in part by Georgina Bloomberg, center in red, daughter of the New York mayor and a top-level equestrian herself.
A horse refused a fence.
A rider and horse took practice jumps in the staging area before the competition.
