The major question in mental health in children is how is this problem affecting social, emotional and physical development? Are medications always the answer, of course not, but when the child/adolescent is having a problem that affects ability to function in a developmentally appropriate manner, intervention becomes necessary. This can be in the form of medication and/or therapy. Another important note, in working with children/adolescents, one must also include the parents in treatment.

Future of Evangelicalism
The Legacy of an Activist Career An Interview with Jim Wallis
The next stage was when the Religious Right went public -- it did so on only a narrow set of issues: abortion, homosexuality, and pornography. It became very political, but only on these issues. There was still no concern for the issues the Bible talks most about, like poverty, war and peace, and suffering. We wanted to press for Christians to concern themselves with those things.
Both of those stages -- the first when faith was a private matter, and the second when the Religious Right went public -- were political. It was always political, meaning they always voted Republican. The Elder who talked to me was completely in favor of white racism. He was living it every day. They were conformed to their culture, to things like racism, materialism, militarism, whatever the culture thought. It had nothing to do with faith. But we were good Detroit white racists. What changed, then, was that they became political on abortion and gay marriage, homosexuality and pornography.
You rose to prominence partly through your critique of the Religious Right, a critique made in places like The Soul of Politics and God's Politics. The Religious Right, in your view, became apologists for the Republican party. The question may seem silly, but I want to hear your answer to it: What's wrong with that model of Christian political engagement?
It's always a mistake to be in the back pocket of a political party, to make your religion partisan, to be a power broker within a political party. That's always a mistake, Right or Left. There was no prophetic engagement. And their selection of issues wasn't big enough. Let's be honest. The Bible says very little about homosexuality. We found two thousand verses in the Bible about poverty -- yet homosexuality was the issue of the Religious Right, and poverty was not. There was not a biblical selection of issues.
I'm opposed to abortion too, which is why I'm not part of the Left. But they were pro-life only on abortion, and not on nuclear weapons or the death penalty. They weren't really pro-life at all; they were just anti-abortion. That was not a biblical stance. It was an anti-abortion stance, but not a pro-life stance. So it was a narrow selection of issues that was not true to a biblical vision of what God cares about.
You say it's dangerous for the Left and the Right to become apologists for a political party. Now that there is a Religious Left, and a Democratic administration in power, are you concerned those same mistakes are being made on the Left?
Well, there isn't a very big Religious Left. The new evangelical generation is not Religious Left. Journalists and the media are sloppy; if they see something that is not on the Right, they conclude that it must be Left.
I've been in meetings at the White House with evangelicals across the spectrum. We worked together on the issue of immigration reform. We're united on that issue. Some are Republicans and some are Democrats. I have had meetings with the administration, with the House Speaker, with all kinds of Democratic leaders, and with a broad spectrum of religious leaders, all of whom care about climate change, care about the environment, care about poverty. So the issues that concern us are those issues: human rights, Darfur, trafficking, war and peace. Those are not Left/Right categories because the new evangelical generation is not pro-abortion. The Left is, and the new evangelical generation is not. They're also traditional in their view of sexuality and family. They hold a covenantal view of sexuality, and the Left by and large holds a recreational view of sexuality. So, there are real differences.

Yes do be careful here yereslov.
"Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard"
I like that quote. :)
A few things that stick out the most...#1. 7. e5- this is totally unnecessary. Your pawns control more central squares as is there was no need to push e5 so early. Your opponent at that point wasn't able to play e5 yet and challenge your center so focus on developing your pieces. Plus if you have more space you generally dont want to exchange pieces. When you play Bg5 you stated that you wanted to exchange and open the h file. Yet you initiate the exchange and dont open the H file so what was the point? #2. For some reason you decided not to castle. You basically lost because you left your king in the center. Leaving your king in the center creates so many more tactical oppurtunities.
As for "raw talent", your opponent is a moron.
You are the worst troll I have ever seen on this site....
Next to petermh5 anyway (funny how "worst troll" and "best troll" are virtually synonymous).

I have a very oily t-zone. So I really need a good mattifying powder. I don't have a problem with blotting after 3-4 hours. I'm used to it. But with this powder, which is pretty expensive at $32, I have to pile it on to the point where it looks white and cakey. With other powders, such as Essence All About Matt, which is $4, the white disappears as it melts into my skin. This one just sits on top of my skin, and then within about 90 minutes, the white, cakiness is gone, but so is the powder, and I'm an oily mess.

- packaging is so pretty and sturdy
- looks flawless on my skin (definitely buff it in on top, it won't move the foundation)
- matte for probably 5-6 hours
- wish it was cheaper
Overall, great product. Would consider repurchasing, but rimmel stay matte works similarly.

I don't have oily skin but I wanted my Make up to last longer and it does the job by setting my foundation. Expensive? Yes. Worth the splurge if you can? Yes!! It even lasted through a big sex session.

Even though I dont have oily skin I like to set my makeup with a powder because I feel incomplete if I dont. I only use MAC powders and I decided to go for a change. So I did my homework and finally this Urban Decay powder seemed the most appealing to me. It retails for 19 pounds which is ok since MAC is around the same price but I do wish I didnt waste my money because I dont like it at all. Its not translecent because it does leave a "white cast" on your face and its not light weight! It feels cakey for everyday Wear. The only thing I liked was the packaging. 2/5 for me

I have had this powder about a month and I absolutely love it. This is the best powder that I have ever used in my life. I have dry skin and a problem with powder looking cakey and clinging to dry spots. Not with this one, it is beautiful and makes my skin feel so so soft. If your considering buying this just go for it, it is the best powder ever. I usually prefer loose powder but I went ahead and got this because it does not come in a loose form and I am so glad I did. I will keep buying this as long as they make it and I pray they never discontinue it. I want the naked skin foundation and loose finishing powder too, if it's anywhere near the quality of this it will be fabulous. Get this today, it's way better than the ben nye everyone loves so much.

While it is intended to be a "mattifying" powder, I don't think it's any different than drugstore powders. Once applied for touch-ups it does provide a shine-free finish, however I feel that it is not long lasting. I will be a greasy mess in less than an hour. What a waste.
3/13/15 - Again I say, this does absolutely NOTHING to contain oil!

I really love this product. I use Kat von D's lock it tattoo liquid foundation for full coverage, flawless skin and I use this throughout the day when needed to keep it looking fresh. It's a great product. Obviously it won't add any additional color to your skin which is why I love it for touch ups. It won't keep your skin matte all day if you apply it in the morning, but I feel like it was made for touch ups and it does a fabulous job at that.

This product didn't "de-slick" me. Like, at all. I was shiny again about 2 to 3 hours later. I do have beyond oily skin though, so I gave up on trying to find good oil control products awhile ago. However, despite that this doesn't keep me shine free, I do enjoy this product! It gives my skin a perfect, velvet finish, doesn't enlarge pores, sits beautifully with my bronzer and blushes, and is buildable without being cakey. So, obviously, that's alotta good! Yeah, it doesn't do what it promises, but there's so much good coming out of it that I won't return it. I won't purchase it again, but I will enjoy this until it's gone!

First of all, the packaging is gorgeous. The purple, quite heavy packaging with engravings is beautiful and it also has a mirror in the lid, smart! The pad that comes with it is unfortunately useless, it's too thin and stale. Use something else to apply. I usually use a fluffy powder brush. It looks stark white but don't be scared – it's transparent and leaves your skin velvet soft. For me, who has an oily t-zone, this is perfect as at setting powder and for touch ups during the day. I feel like it really helps keeping my skin matte. It does not have any smell and the price is ok. It lasts a long time as well! I will always repurchase this.

ODU Library Instruction Services contributes to the Library's mission by helping to advance information literacy by partnering with ODU faculty and staff to foster effective learning experiences for the Ohio Dominican University community.
Did you know ODU Library's reference and instruction librarians offer research instruction sessions and general orientations for classes each semester?
Our librarians work with all kinds of classes – from English to Business to Philosophy to Chemistry to Theology and more. They offer a variety of instruction from general introductions to the library and OhioLINK catalogs, to in-depth search skills of our more than 70 research databases, to searching for and evaluating reliable academic websites. Instruction Services are available to all faculty and instructors at Ohio Dominican University in all undergraduate and graduate programs, including Adult Continuing Education and online degree programs.
Before conducting instruction for a class, our librarians familiarize themselves with the course content and any specific upcoming research assignments. Then they tailor the instruction to the specific needs of those students and faculty. Librarians work closely with faculty members to make certain what they plan best fits the needs of the group. They offer online demonstrations, hands-on training in a computer classroom, or both. After the instruction session, the librarian will share assignment details with all reference librarians so any librarian who provides reference can become acquainted with the students' projects and be better equipped to assist them.
Librarians offer the following course-integrated and assignment-integrated options:
All forms of instruction services are undergirded by a concept and philosophy of information literacy. Information literacy is a combination of knowledge and a set of skills that forms the basis for high-quality research and life-long learning and can be defined as:(1)
Information literacy is reflective of the Ohio Dominican University's mission to "contemplate truth and to share with others the fruits of this contemplation" and its commitment to lifelong learning. Information literacy emphasizes the acquisition, evaluation, and synthesis of information necessary for proper reflection of self, the common good, justice, and truth.
Consequently, information literacy is a prerequisite for learning to know and understand; learning to act upon knowledge gained; learning to live within the social, political, and cultural spheres of this world; and learning to be.(2) According to the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education of the Association of College & Research Libraries, information literacy incorporates a thorough understanding of libraries, the resources they provide, and common search strategies.(3)
To summarize, an information literate student is able to: (3)

Campbell era at SD Opera likely over
Keith Fisher named chief operating officer of San Diego Opera
The 26-member board will officially meet again on Monday morning following a meeting by the opera's 800-plus "Association Members" — individuals who have donated $100 or more to the company.
The company has set a goal of raising $1 million from the community by May 19. The money will be placed in an escrow account, and if a 2015 season is not announced, or the $1 million goal is not met, the donations will be returned.
"The public support for San Diego Opera's future has been overwhelming," Lazier said. "People could not accept their beloved opera was disappearing and took to the streets in protest. We heard you. And we're proud to say that the future of San Diego Opera will celebrate its legacy of artistic excellence.
"But now it is up to you. The new San Diego Opera will not only depend on large gifts, but the community's engagement and support. Every gift is needed — large, small and in between. From an acorn we will grow a mighty tree."
Campbell has steadfastly rejected the idea of a "new" San Diego Opera. Although he slashed productions and restructured the troubled company when he took over from an overreaching Tito Capobianco in 1983, his vision was similar to Capobianco's — international-class opera on a grand scale.
During the recent recession, he downsized the season from five operas to four operas, but he never compromised his grand vision or his production values. Even knowing that a $10 million bequest from Joan Kroc was almost exhausted, and that the company was facing serious cash flow challenges, fundraising issues and ticket sales shortfalls despite what looked like a healthy balance sheet, he produced and directed a new, multimillion dollar production of "Murder in the Cathedral" in 2013 and he presented a "A Masked Ball" in 2014 that was lavish, expensive, but undeniably stunning, as was a super-sized performance of Verdi's Requiem.
"To downsize San Diego Opera into (a smaller, more flexible company) is really not possible," said Campbell in a March 18 meeting at the U-T, the day before the board voted to close the company. The company has a 2013-14 budget of approximately $17 million, making it the third largest cultural institution in San Diego (behind the Globe and the symphony).
"We're a union house, we have union contracts, the nature of the company has always been of an international standard. We are known around the world for the quality of the casting," said Campbell.
"Downsizing for us would mean totally changing the standard and the nature of the company. and the moment you get away in this city from 'Boheme,' 'Carmen,' 'Rigoletto,' 'Tosca' (the grand, war horses of the operatic repertoire), you've lost a lot of the audience."
Campbell preferred closing the company "with dignity" rather than redefining it, and if a new incarnation of the opera was going to emerge, he needed to move aside. The administrative leave should give the company time to negotiate a graceful exit for Campbell, or if the $1 million is not raised by May 19, arrange its own farewell.

31 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 29-37 within 50 miles
Joie de vivre in Denver
A born and bred Florida girl, I never thought I would live anywhere else, let alone hundreds of miles from the beach. But five years after moving one sunshine state to another, I'm happy to call Colorado home-and I must admit I've fallen in love with this place! I'm looking for someone to share everything that is great about Colorado. In the winter you can find me up in the mountains skiing and enjoying what the mountain towns have to offer. In the summer I enjoy biking, hiking and spending as much time outside as possible. I have a passion for cooking and baking-not a lot of things make me happier than baking for my friends and family! I am motivated in both my work and personal lives. I am looking for someone that is equally so and can help me become a better person and will be a partner along the road of life. I've been fortunate to travel throughout the United States and Europe. have alsoI lived in England and Spain, which were some of the best times of my life! While my family currently lives pretty far away, I have a 'Denver family' made up of some pretty great friends that are like family to me. My family truly means the world to me and I will do anything for them. All in all, I'm looking a person to complement the life I have here in Colorado and enjoy what lies ahead!

Gawga boy here enjoying the reviews. I was upset to read about the new Honda coming out right after my purchase of the NOS Kawi 260 S model but after reading this I think I am about right to just keep if till it wears out. The KLX is about the way you describe the WR and because I AM smaller overall than you I think it fits similar to the way you described the CFR, because at five nine I don't feel that cramped but I can stand up on it fairly good. I'd probably like the height of the CFR better though but that is fixable cheap.
We have a gal who rides street with us on a CFR 230 L and has the motard set up . She is a tiny thing and even on it is tippy toed but was interested in the new 250. Because she weighs so little she can really haul with the CFR on the twistes in the hills down here and as such really has become one of the faster gals around . All that is just to suggest that weight of the bike is not everything , the total weight of the rider and bike is what counts and decides if you can ride these bikes on a big road and be satisfied. My KLX for instance with me on board is good for barely the highest speed limit around and that is wide open so I trailer it from the burbs in Atlanta up to the hills and ride DS up there with my pals on , sometimes larger scoots like the DZ 400, the bike BTW that I'd probably have bought if I could have reached the ground at all., LOL
Anyway it was a very USEFUL thread and thank you for your effort and patience with the detractors and I don't need add to that discussion as it is just typical today on forums.
Thanks again
No matter where you go there you are.

From C. Trent:
Gary Majewski was activated from the bereavement list after the birth of his daughter. Danny Herrera was sent to Class AAA Louisville.
"Hes going back, but I told him hes impressed us and hes impressed his teammates, which is equally or more important," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "Its never been easy for him, sometimes it makes you hungrier because he knows what he can do. Right now with the numbers, his permanent time is not now, his temporary time is here now, its not his permanent time now."
Baker likes what he's seen from Herrera, the 5-foot-6 lefty.
"He works hard, he wants it, hes not scared," Baker said. "A guy that stature, you know hes had to fight all the odds to get here, to even sign in the first place. Especially in the day of the radar gun, they want the 6-5, 225 pound guy throwing 95 even if hes not getting anybody out."

The "hot seat" is a term that gets throw around during the offseason to give fans something to talk about while there is no college football. This past offseason, you saw names like Mark Richt and Rick Neuheisel at or near the top of nearly everyone's list. One name, however, was not as prominent. But, three games into the season, this coach may be on the hottest seat of all.
Houston Nutt.
There's no excuse for getting blown out 30-7 by Vanderbilt. None. Not the five turnovers committed by the Rebels. Not the rash of early-season injuries. Not the fact that Vanderbilt may be a little bit better than we all anticipated. None.
Competent SEC programs should be able to trot out backups and still compete with Vanderbilt's starters. Ole Miss is not a competent football program anymore, and Houston Nutt is to blame.
Just 13 months ago, Nutt was coming off back-to-back nine-win seasons in Oxford and looking to continue that momentum despite massive roster turnover. As it turns out, that massive roster turnover is exactly why he achieved a moderate level of success in Oxford to begin with. He won with Ed Orgeron's players, plain and simple. Now those players are gone.
What's left is a program that has taken about five steps back in a division - the SEC West - where you can barely afford one. Ole Miss was almost universally picked to finish last in the SEC West before the season by the SEC media, and that was assuming that they stayed healthy. Now they're not, and the program is in shambles. The injuries aren't an excuse. The fact that there's no depth is a poor reflection of the coaching staff.
Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone is the same guy that fired former Rebel head coach David Cutcliffe after his only losing season, which was one year after a 10-win season. At the time, Boone wanted Cutcliffe to fire some assistants and create a detailed plan to get the program going in the right direction.
So let me ask this of Pete Boone: if the program was going in the wrong direction then, what's the problem NOW? The 4-8 record last season certainly didn't sit well with the higher-ups in Oxford, and with another 4-8 staring the program in the face, a blowout loss to Vanderbilt should be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Strangely, it won't.
Yes, Nutt has a pretty substantial buyout that would call for the University to owe him somewhere in the neighborhood of $4-6 million dollars should he be dismissed early. After getting run by Vandy, how many of you think that Boone could pass a hat around The Grove and get that amount? I do.
When Cutcliffe was let go following the 2004 season, the University was heavily criticized for having an overinflated sense of self worth. There's nothing wrong with that, but I'm sure that Cutcliffe would like to know where those standards went, because they certainly aren't there now.
Ole Miss hosts Georgia and then travels to Fresno State the next two weekends before the bye week. If the Rebs lose both of those games - and let's face it, that's almost a certainty at this point - does Nutt survive the bye week? He shouldn't.
But then again, the bye week does have a good defense.

Quicklime vs. portland cement plaster
I am doing some research on different interior plasters and making plans for our indoor oven enclosure.
Can anyone help by explaining the difference between quicklime plaster and portland cement plaster? I have been reading various online resouces, and lime or cement-based plaster both sound like kiln fired limestone products that react with sand and water to make a product that sets hard -- unlike gypsom plaster that dries soft.
What are the different characteristics?
I did read that Venetian plaster is over 40% marble and sets with lime. Wow. No wonder it shines as so many levels, and is so hard.
Re: Quickline vs. portland cement plaster
Depending on other additives (to increase strength) Limeplaster is generally weaker than a Portland mix. A portland mix should have lime added to it or have it contained in the pre-mixed bag.
Re: Quickline vs. portland cement plaster
I made my own stucco, with a primarily portland stucco scratch coat and then a thin lime plaster finish. The lime really makes the stucco more workeable and sticky, so I added some to the scratch coat. The finish was white sand and lime, 2 to 1. When I deconstructed the oven during the move the scratch coat was rock hard, while the finish never really completely finished - I was always able to wipe a little sand off. I'm sure commercial products are better though. The lime is supposed to be nice in the finish as it is less prone to cracking - my finish coat never cracked until it was hit by the forklift. This sound right, Uno?
Re: Quickline vs. portland cement plaster
Thanks guys,
Is there a commercial lime plaster product you can buy? Is there a major brand name?
Re: Quickline vs. portland cement plaster
One more question. I know that portland cement based products undergo a chemical reaction that "transforms" the basic ingredients into something new, and I am pretty sure that gypsum plaster does not and simply dries hard.
What about lime plaster? Is there a chemical reaction and a curing period? Is that why lime plaster is a lot harder than gypsum?
Thanks again for the input on this one.
Re: Quickline vs. portland cement plaster
Lime definitely has a curing period and a chemical reaction (it reacts to form limestone). Lime is slower to cure than portland and it does dry hard, but never as hard as portland cement which is why portland products have become the standard (also because lime is susceptible to acid rain, portland less so). I can't say much about a commercial product that is ready to mix as I used straight mason's lime with sand. I think some products would have lime in them - it makes the stucco more plastic and sticky. Here's a few websites I found by googling lime stucco:
this one has supplies (know nothing about them)
Lime Paint - lime stucco, lime plaster, marble and stucco application center
this one talks about the difference a little
Stucco Frequently Asked Questions - Buying Stucco
I also saw some descriptions of 'lime paint' which might be a way to achieve the look without a thick stucco buildup, but that's just from reading the websites - I'm not sure it's what you would want.
Re: Quicklime vs. portland cement plaster
Hey Marc,
This is a very interesting topic. I have found a handful of companies that import true "Italian" plaster -- in fact, one of the main producers is Baldini Vernaci in Lucca. If you drive from Florence, past Lucca to the coast, you go right past their factory.
There are a couple of primary types, including a Marmorino (powdered marble) plaster that is based on slaked lime; a Venetian plaster, that is based on an acrylik setting agent and very fine marble; and a more rustic marble/lime product that can be used both inside and outside. These are all color-in plasters that go up in 2-5 coats, where you burnish the final coats to compact the grains, and bring the marble powder to a polished finished.
I have ordered a couple of samples in different types and colors, along with my tool set.
I really can't wait for them to come -- the downstairs bath is the first test case.
Re: Quicklime vs. portland cement plaster
James - what's in the tool set you ordered? I applied my stucco with a standard mason's trowel, but I wondered then if there was an easier tool to use.
Re: Quicklime vs. portland cement plaster
I am still waiting to get my tools, which are (guess what) also made in Italy. I ordered them with the product and color samples.
I think the tool has curved edges (not square like many drywall tools) and it is slightly concave. We'll see.
I have just about destroyed the second bath getting ready for the window and door, the Italian plaster, travertine floors and marble counters and shower walls. It take a lot of effort just getting back to scratch. The biggest hassle is the glue from the old wallpaper. I am using an enzyme glue remover, but it's taking a lot of time and it is very messy. Still, I don't want any residue up there for when I start plastering.
Once the samples get here, I will start a thread on Venetian Plaster -- let's see if someone else wants to do this technique on an oven enclosure.
Re: Quicklime vs. portland cement plaster
My first set of visual samples came today. These are little squares that show the different finishes and sample color combinations. I am getting pretty excited about this, but at the same time I am starting to get nervous. If I can make it work, the finish is just beautiful. If I can't do it (lacking in skill or patience), we don't want to go to the expense of having a pro do it.
The Venetian Plaster comes out looking like glass, with deep colors buried in the finish. They still use slaked lime and ground marble, along with modern binders. It is a very formal surface -- probably appropriate for a very high end hotel or restaurant. The Marmorino has the same basic ingredients, but it is a little rougher -- more appropriate for our house.
Next step is the get the samples of the material.
I have just about finished the destructo on the old bathroom. Ceramic tile on a concrete float. Nothing a sledge hammer and prybar can't fix. :-)
More to come on this.

Chelsea have lost their bid to buy back the Stamford Bridge freehold after a dramatic EGM with Chelsea Pitch Owners shareholders.
The general feeling among the fans is that Chelsea will have to leave the Bridge at some point to get a bigger ground which will increase the revenue that will allow us to continue to compete with the elite of European football
I expected a top architect would be able to come up with a design to resolve the issue regarding the stadium size. I though that it might actually be possible, however, the big stumbling block is the health and safety rules which prohibit more than circa 40k people exiting on to one road, i.e. they require more exit routes to be available. This is why I thought the walkway/bridge to Fulham Broadway or even West Brompton was a feasible solution. According to Bruce Buck these are not viable, so if we require a bigger capacity to ensure we make more money which is required to remain competitive but we cannot find any ground within a 3-mile radius, exactly what is the club expected to do?
Assuming that the fans actually want us to remain as a competitive force in European football and we cannot find a suitable site with a 3-mile radius, the only logical option is to expand our search area? It isn't deal but I fully understand this argument. It is possible that the board could have stated a limit of 5, 7 or 10 mile radius from the current site as obviously there are many people who fear we could relocate to Glasgow (wild example I know but it makes my point).
Some sections of supporters believe that by voting 'No' the CPO are not acting in the best interest of Chelsea FC. One such supporter sent me this email:
- "Whilst I am very grateful for the actions of the CPO investors at the time, please correct me if I am wrong, but I understood that the creation of the CPO was initiated purely as a legal maneuver to prevent any aggressive actions by one or more predatory property companies to protect Stamford Bridge from development. I am well aware of the past situation regarding Mahler estates etc. To clarify, I do not believe that the CPO s were ever issued, or intended to be used, as either collateral, leverage or to have any power related to dictating the future commercial interests of Chelsea Football Club. It was purely an emergency measure designed at the time to create a legal quagmire for the vultures. The scheme obviously worked, but I am now somewhat alarmed that some CPO holders have moved the goalposts to imply that, for their 100 pounds, they consider that the issuing of the CPO shares was intended to, or actually gives them the right to dictate the future of Chelsea FC. I agree that protecting the future location of Chelsea FC is very important and rightfully an emotional subject. I also agree that Chelsea FC should not be moved out of the immediate vicinity; however from a business perspective Chelsea FC cannot realistically negotiate anything unless they have the full control, authority to do so and that means owning the rights to the pitch etc.."
In respect of the responsibilities of the CPO Directors and that the CPO should maintain a collective influence over the club to ensure that the club remains in West/South-West London, surely the clubs commitment to move to a site within 3 miles of the current stadium up to 2020 and it's overall stated objective to remain as close to it's roots as possible thereafter confirms what the clubs major objective to any possible move is. The sticking point still remains as to what "exactly" happens post 2020. There has to be some realism though from the CPO that if by 2020 the club has not found a new site and there is a need to move to protect the clubs future and all sites within a 3 mile radius have been exhausted there will be a need to extend the search zone and both sides should be agreeing an extension of perhaps 5 miles to the original 3 mile objective.
I understand that legally this move must be done in agreement with the CPO but I don't think the CPO should act as a barrier to the clubs progression, ensuring that the club remains as close to it's original roots as possible is understandable but the club needs some maneuverability. We need a sensible solution to this and the protectionist view of "this is our home", "Battersea is not convenient to me" or "we can't move away from the pubs we know" won't help find a solution.
Those moaning about the CPO and accusing them of a lack of gratitude are showing a huge lack of gratitude themselves. As Abramovich has never given an interview no-one knows why he bought the club but I would suggest it wasn't as a gesture to the fans to stop their club going bust. He probably bought Chelsea as a businessman or for a toy and most likely a combination of the two. Clearly he has become a huge fan and has enormous affection for the club but does he have an unconditional love that lifelong Chelsea fans who bought into CPO have? We do know that the CPO bought their shares purely to protect the future of the club and so to get on their backs when they continue to act with the same motive is incredibly naive and, dare I say it, ungrateful.
Although there is a risk of upsetting our incredibly wealthy owner, for whom we should be grateful for our recent success, the CPO voted "No" as the proposal from the club was vague and represented it's own risks in that post 2020 we could feasibly end up playing our home games outside of London. The bottom line is that there is a better compromise to be reached and until the CPO have more assurances then why should they give up what they acquired through good will during Chelsea's most worrying times? Imagine they gave up their bargaining power on blind faith and in 2 years Abramovich was gone due to an accident, illness, economic downturn? The club could be in the hands of people like Hicks and Gillete before we know it and totally out of the control of the fans. What we have is unique and shouldn't be given up on blind faith and vague promises.
I am concerned by what has occurred in recent weeks but I am more critical of how this has been handled by the club than by the CPO. Clearly people are worried by Abramovich's response to this but if it is negative then surely that vindicates the CPO vote in my view.
With regards to the "rich fans" (and by this I mean the 20 individuals who purchased over 10% of the shares in the last week) having a say. This would have some validity if they were long term CPO shareholders, but they only bought the vast quantity of shares they did for one reason, and that was to skew the vote, and actually the meeting was on the point of being adjourned yesterday on the basis of the legality of the CPO Board allowing this to happen, when their lawyer stated that they needed over 80% of the votes in the room to vote yes to carry the motion, which clearly wasn't going to happen. So on that basis; they should not have the same rights, unless of course you think taking specific actions to pervert the democratic process is acceptable. With regard to general polls supporting the move, wherever they appear, you have to recognize that these days they are influenced by large numbers of people who will not be affected personally one way or the other, whether we move to a new stadium or not, yet they appear all to eager to back an option which will have a negative impact on most match going fans.
If you want to widen the franchise on the vote, make it for season ticket holders and members, and then I think it's fair to say you will find the vast majority would not want have voted Yes to yesterdays proposal. As said many, many times before CPO are happy to move to a larger stadium as long as its in the right area. Its just that Roman is going to have to take the fans views on the matter a little more seriously than he has done so hitherto, and on that basis we should indeed all be able to work together to come to the right solution for the club and its supporters.
As keeps being said all parties want what is best for Chelsea FC in the long term, but the club HAS to maintain a connection with its roots, it's community, it's history. It has to serve the best interests its paying customers, not forgetting that the atmosphere generated by the fans in the ground, and the tradition of those clubs is a big part of what makes English football such an enjoyable television experience for a global audience. Its also helps attract the worlds best players. So let's not throw that all away and become a US style soulless franchise.

Nolan Ryan decides to stay with Rangers
APR 10, 2013 6:38p ET
"After productive discussions the last several weeks with Ray Davis and Bob Simpson about the structure of our organization, together we are moving forward," Ryan said in a statement. "In my role as CEO, I am focused on working closely with ownership and with Jon Daniels and Rick George to build on the success of the past five years and to bring a championship to Arlington."
Ryan was named president of the club Feb. 6, 2008, and held that title until the team named general manager Jon Daniels the president of baseball operations and Rick George president of business operations on March 1.
Ryan, who hasn't spoken publicly about the situation since losing the president title, had met with both Davis and Simpson on several occasions since then. He has also been a regular at Texas games. He was also with the team in San Antonio and for their season opener in Houston.
"We've had meaningful conversations with Nolan Ryan over the past several weeks and are pleased that our focus is now on working together to win a championship for our fans," Davis and Simpson said in joint statement. "Over the years Nolan has made extraordinary contributions to the Texas Rangers organization, both on and off the field, including providing valuable guidance to Jon Daniels and Rick George. His leadership as our chief executive – with both baseball and business operations reporting to him – has been vital to our success and offers us a bright future."
