- 03/12/13 - Somerset County Council Supports Sports at Strode College
Somerset County Councillors for Street and Glastonbury, Alan Gloak and Terry Napper, presented £5,000 to Strode College last week which will be used to build a 'Trim Trail' around the college's sports grounds.
The Trim Trail, which is due to be in place for Spring 2014, will consist of a range of wooden exercise equipment placed around the college's extensive sports fields to form a fitness and exercise circuit.
In addition to the £5,000 provided by Somerset County Council from the health and well-being budget, Strode College will contribute £1,000 to the project, Crispin School will contribute £500 and Councillor Gloak's charity TS5C will also contribute £500.
Councillor Alan Gloak said: "The Trim Trail will be a great way for students to get fit and local residents will benefit too. I am glad to see that Crispin School is also involved as obesity is a hidden problem and we must act to combat it by educating young people about the importance of staying fit and healthy; this trail will help"
Councillor Terry Napper said: "We are lucky to have such an excellent college providing fantastic facilities for our local young people and the wider community. This project is a great example of how people are benefitting from Street and Glastonbury joining together."
James Staniforth, Principal of Strode College said: "We are delighted to receive this grant from Somerset County Council. The Trim Trail will be a valuable addition to our sports facilities which are used by Strode students for their studies and their sports activities as well as by pupils from Crispin School. The local community also make good use of our facilities for a range of clubs, classes and individual activities; I look forward to seeing people enjoying this new equipment in the Spring."

- 14/11/13 - Strode Expands Links with China
Strode College's Deputy Principal Shirley Theedom, recently returned from a visit to China where she joined representatives from nine Somerset schools as they sought to further develop educational links with the country. They travelled to the Chinese city of Yueyang in Hunan province to continue the work of the East Somerset Partnership over the past three years.
The Somerset teachers were welcomed energetically by their Chinese hosts and the young people of the city. Each teacher spent a week in a partner school reviewing the activities enjoyed by students from both countries as they have worked together over the past years. Shirley Theedom joined students at Strode's partner college - the Central South Technical College in Yeuyang.
During the visit the Somerset teachers also discussed future plans with their Chinese colleagues, such as joint curriculum projects, student exchanges and ways of increasing the use of new technologies when communicating across the world. Teachers from Yueyang will visit Somerset next year, accompanied by representatives of local business to extend the opportunities created by this strong partnership into wider sectors of the Somerset economy. This development has the full support of UK trade associations as well as the Chinese government, since it will serve to strengthen further the ties with the south west.
Next summer a large group of students from Somerset will visit partner schools and colleges in China to experience Chinese hospitality and improve their language skills as they prepare to be global citizens.
Since 2011 when Strode College and eight schools initiated this link, the cultural understanding of students and their awareness of this rapidly changing country has grown enormously. The number of schools and colleges involved has now risen to 17, moving from the origins in East Somerset to include schools in Yeovil and with more keen to join.
Students at Strode College and other schools have been learning Mandarin. The introduction of this new world language is set to speed up as senior colleagues come back from China determined to see this evolution in the curriculum take place.
Shirley Theedom, Deputy Principal, Strode College said: "This has been the fifth successful exchange visit between Strode College and our partner Central South Technical College. These inspirational visits have provided invaluable opportunities for students and staff to develop curriculum projects and cultural understanding and have created a deep professional friendship between both organisations."
- 29/10/13 - Strode Beauty Students Paint their Pinkies Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
Strode College's Level 2 Beauty Therapy students have been raising money for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Students donated money to wear pink and also collected money through various activities. They joined in with celebrities including Beyoncé and had their little nails painted pink to promote the campaign.
Last year, over 1000 schools and Colleges took part and helped raise £2.1 million to fund life-saving research.
Marcie Mickleburgh, Course Manager for Strode's Level 2 Beauty Therapy course said: "It is such an important Campaign to get involved in and the students have really enjoyed taking part. They have managed to raise over £100 for Breast Cancer."
- 27/09/13 - Strode Students Meet Lemurs in Madagascar
Biology A Level students from Strode College recently returned from a fantastic two week field trip in Madagascar, where they got up close to the famous Madagascan lemurs and enjoyed finding out about the wildlife and culture of this fascinating country.
The students enjoyed trekking through national parks and rainforests to seek out the lemurs. They managed to see 15 of the 113 different species, including the one metre tall Indri lemur which has an ear splitting territory call that can be heard for miles and the tiny, fluffy mouse lemur which could fit in the palm of a small hand.
The students also encountered a wealth of other wildlife including snakes, ants, chameleons, crocodiles, tomato frogs, leaf-tailed geckos and a family of tenrecs, which look like a hedgehog crossed with a guinea pig.
The trip was also a great opportunity to observe the culture and life of the Madagascan people. They visited rice paddies, a spice garden and they saw locals farming with bullocks and hand ploughs, in stark contrast to the mechanized farming students associate with Somerset. They met students and teachers at a high school and they also met a group of French medical volunteers who were giving medical treatment to the local community – the queue of local villagers stretched for over 50m.
The visit ended with a wonderful trip to the small island of St Marie where the students scuba dived on the coral reef and joined a whale watching research trip to collect data and get a close look at these spectacular creatures.
Fiona Deacon, Strode's A Level Biology teacher, said: "Madagascar provided our biology students with a wealth of experiences and opportunities. They have expanded their knowledge about the native wildlife and culture, they have seen first-hand the effects of deforestation on the environment and they have been inspired and motivated to learn more about biology and the world. It's wonderful to be able to offer such opportunities to our students."
Strode student Olivia Shoemark from Sparkford said: "The trip proved to be far more educational than I imagined. It encouraged us to think about the biology behind rainforest life and to put theory into context. We could have learnt this in the classroom, but learning through first-hand experience is so much more valuable."
Strode student Ellie Gore of Babcary summed up everyone's feelings saying: "This has been one of the absolute best times of my life. I love Madagascar! I have had some of the most incredible experiences."
Students studying A Level Biology at Strode College make more progress than at any other school or college nationally according to the Jan 2012 Advanced Level Performance Systems. This is the national system that measures student progress by comparing their AS and A Level results with their predicted grades based on their GCSE results.

- 15/08/13 - Outstanding Strode Results Buck the National Trend
Strode College in Street is bucking the national trend by once again celebrating outstanding A Level and vocational results against a backdrop of falling national performance. The proportion of high A* and A Grades at Strode went up to 28% as national performance fell from 27% to 26%.
Strode's results, which are above the national average, match the college's best ever results achieved last year - a year when the national A Level pass rate and high grades fell for the first time in twenty years. The same set of results last year ranked Strode as the best performing college for A Levels in the South-West (January 2013 D of E league tables).
Strode's A Level pass rate is 99.3% with 56% of student entries achieving a high grade of A*, A or B and 81% graded C or higher. Results in the core A Levels of English, Maths, Science, Modern Languages and Humanities are even more impressive, with 65% high grades.
Strode's vocational students managed to beat the outstanding results of their A Level counterparts. A quarter of students achieved the highest grade of Triple Distinction*, the equivalent of three A* grades at A Level; 113 students or 56% achieved Triple Distinctions or better, the equivalent of 3 grade As at A level or better; and 145 or 72% achieved high grades; results way in excess of the national averages of 34% and 56%.
James Staniforth, Principal of Strode College, is delighted by these outstanding results and by the consistently high levels of achievement attained by students at the college. He said:
"The fact that our A Level and vocational students have once again achieved such fantastic results makes us all extremely proud - it shows that our students work hard to achieve their ambitions and it proves that our approach to teaching and supporting students makes a real difference to their success. It is also a testament to the effective partnerships between Strode and our partner schools in Somerset.
"It is particularly pleasing, in the face of recent comments about rural under achievement, that our students are achieving such great results."

A Levels - outstanding student performances
Outstanding individual performances were led by Lucy Corfield of Butleigh, who achieved four A Levels with 3 A* grades and an A grade. Lucy, a former pupil of St Dunstan's School, has won a place at Bristol University to study Biology. John O'Rourke of Bruton and Elizabeth Randall of Somerton both gained two A* grades and two A grades (she also gained an A grade in Maths last year). John, a former pupil of King Arthur's Community School, also gained an A* in the AS level Extended Project for his study of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, a piece of work which helped him win a place to study Medicine at Cardiff University, while Elizabeth, a former pupil of Huish Episcopi Academy, will study Chemical Engineering at Bath.
Lucy Corfield said: "I'm so excited. I was up before 6am to go online - I can't believe my results, I'd convinced myself that I wasn't going to get the grades I needed to get into university. I've had a fantastic time at Strode. I was a little nervous starting my A Levels because I thought they would be challenging. They were, but the teachers at Strode are awesome."
John O'Rourke said: "I knew I had a good chance of getting the grades I needed for university but I was still pretty nervous. I've had loads of guidance at Strode; my results are down to the teachers, particularly Chemistry. I'm a bit apprehensive about university, but it's exciting – a new chapter. I've been learning to cook recently!"
Five students gained two A* grades and a grade A: Anna Butler of Moorlinch (Crispin Academy), who in June also won the award for Strode's Overall Sports Performer of the Year, is progressing to Nottingham Trent University to study Journalism; Joanna Callender-Wood of Glastonbury (St Dunstan's), who will study Geography at the London School of Economics; Kate Hoar of Babcary (Ansford Academy), who will study Psychology at Exeter University; Tom Perry of Queen Camel (Ansford Academy), who will study Maths at Jesus College, Oxford and Oliver Williams of Shapwick (Crispin Academy) who will study Business Administration at Bath.
Tom Perry said: "I didn't get any sleep last night. I had problems with one exam question so there was an element of doubt in my mind about whether I'd get the grades I needed. It was a massive relief to get my results and know I can go to Oxford. I woke my parents with my shout!"

I didn't set my alarm but woke up at 6am to check my results anyway. I'm really glad I came to Strode to do my A Levels, the teaching, the facilities and the support are great."
Louise Fallows of Street will be studying Psychology at Southampton University. She said: "I was excited yesterday, but also pretty nervous and nauseous! I went to work in the morning and then tried to take my mind off of it by going for a walk with my friend before watching a film. I got up at 6.30am this morning to check my results online - my mum sat on my bed and when we saw my results she presented me with a new kettle to take to university. I'm so excited"
Louise Knight of Ashcott will be studying Medicine at Liverpool University. She said: "It's been a long wait for the results - I didn't really sleep last night although I was quite excited. I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. I checked my results at 7am and cried with my mum. I'm really excited about going to university - it's a big step but I'm really looking forward to it."

- 19/07/13 - Strode Students get help with Bus Fares
All students travelling by bus to study at Strode College from September will get £150 towards the cost of the County Bus Ticket and those whose family income is below £26,000 will get a total of £450 towards their bus pass.
James Staniforth, Principal of Strode College, said: "Last year we were the top performing college in Somerset and we know that young people benefit enormously from learning with us. Most of our students travel to college by bus as we are well served by a number of bus routes. They come from across Somerset because they like Strode and can see that our approach to learning and support achieves excellent results both academically and personally. We do not want these young people to miss out on the fantastic opportunities they will get at Strode so we are helping with the cost of bus fares."
"We are on course to enrol record numbers of students in September to study A Levels and vocational courses, although we do still have places available on some courses. Many of these students will buy the County Bus Ticket and they will get financial help through our Travel Bursary Scheme."

Two Men Facing Sex Assault Charges After Weekend Arrests
A couple of new sexual assault cases from the weekend in La Crosse County...
Shane Henry of Holmen is charged with second-degree sexual assault and strangulation. Bond for Henry is set at 10-thousand dollars cash.
Another man charged with two assaults is being let out of jail, since he has no prior record. But the prosecution wanted a cash bond for 26-year-old Kevin Koster. Koster's attorney admits that alcohol could have contributed to the crimes, which may have involved Koster and up to four other people after a visit to a bar.
Bus Crash In Vernon County
Heavy fog may be to blame for a school bus crash this morning in Vernon County. It happened around 9:20 in the Town of Wheatland.
51 year old Dwight Veglahn of rural Genoa was driving a school bus for Desoto Area Schools, northbound on State Highway 82. As the bus was turning into a church parking lot in heavy fog, it was struck near the rear wheels by a car driven by 47 year old Timothy Fergot of rural Viroqua.
More Testing Requested Before Moss Homicide Trial
The longest-serving inmate now in the La Crosse County jail is set to be tried for homicide in March...or maybe April.
Cain Moss has been in jail for 17 months, since being arrested for the drug-related death of Anthony Du Charme. Today, Moss's attorney, Candice Tlustosch, said in court that she plans to seek more testing on autopsy samples from Du Charme. That testing could delay the planned March 18th start of the trial. Moss is charged with reckless homicide for giving drugs to Du Charme, and with concealing the man's body on a hillside.
Fluoride Returns To Holmen In April
There are still some objections to fluoridation in Holmen, but the practice will resume there on April 1st.
The Holmen Village Board voted 4-to-3 last night to resume fluoridation, which was halted two years ago, just days after it started. Public works director Dean Olson says the delay until April will give citizens time to prepare for fluoride in tap water, if they're already using fluoride treatments. In 2011, Holmen's board suspended fluoridation until the state could recommend a proper fluoride level. That recommendation finally happened this month.

More than 50 former Israeli soldiers have refused to serve in the nation's reserve force, citing regret over their part in a military they said plays a central role in oppressing Palestinians, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
"We found that troops who operate in the occupied territories aren't the only ones enforcing the mechanisms of control over Palestinian lives. In truth, the entire military is implicated. For that reason, we now refuse to participate in our reserve duties, and we support all those who resist being called to service," the soldiers wrote in a petition posted online and first reported by the newspaper.
While some Israelis have refused to serve in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, the military's structure is such that serving in any capacity forces one to play a role in the conflict, said the soldiers, most of whom are women who would have been exempted from combat.
"Many of us served in logistical and bureaucratic support roles; there, we found that the entire military helps implement the oppression of the Palestinians," they said.
Their comments come as the conflict in Gaza continues to escalate, displacing thousands more Palestinians in the battered territory even as the United States presses both sides for an immediate ceasefire and longer-term peace plan.
Earlier this month, Israel said it was mobilizing more reservists in anticipation of increased fighting.
In the petition, the soldiers pointed to the army's structure and fundamental role in Israeli society as reasons for being unable to decouple any form of service from the fighting.
"The military plays a central role in every action plan and proposal discussed in the national conversation, which explains the absence of any real argument about non-military solutions to the conflicts Israel has been locked in with its neighbors," the soldiers wrote.
"To us, the current military operation and the way militarization affects Israeli society are inseparable."
They said they opposed the Israeli Army and conscription law because of how women are limited to low-ranking secretarial positions and because of a screening system that discriminates against Jews whose families originate from Arab nations.
Most 18-year-olds must serve up to three years in the Israeli Defense Forces.
Some groups, such as ultra-Orthodox Jewish seminary students, had been exempted from service, but legislators this year moved to lift that exemption on such students starting in 2017.
Arab-Israelis are exempt from compulsory service.

Comments Thread For: Rey Bautista Gets Technical Nod Over Ruiz in Seven
Cebu City Waterfront Hotel & Casino, Philippines - Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista (31-2, 23KOs) won a seven round technical decision over Heriberto 'Cuate' Ruiz (39-8) in a featherweight bout. Bautista had lost a one-sided eight round decision to Ruiz in 2008. The fight was stopped early in the seventh after the ringside doctor deemed that Bautista's numerous cuts were too dangerous to allow him to continue. The scores were 69-65, 68-65, 68-65 for Bautista. Bautista suffered several cuts from accidental head clashes. Not everyone was happy at ringside, with a few fans voicing their displeasure over the outcome.

Basically, bautista doesn't know how to fight---used ineffective aggression to swarm ruiz and got a home town decision.

Bautista is/was another good prospect that Golden Boy ruined. He was only 21 when they threw him in against the limited, but older and more experienced, Ponce De Leon! He's never been the same since then. The same thing can be said about Vicente Escobedo after Azuquita Jiimenez, Victor Ortiz after Marcos Maidana (minus his performance against Berto), Charles Huerta after Derrick Wilson, and Juan Garcia after Cornelius Lock!

Mercito Gesta is a prime example,while with goldenboy was never tested because goldenboy knew He wasn't as good as his people say and now he moved to top rank for protection.but mark my word as soon as He gets a real fighter in front of him,He'll go down just like the rest.

He can only win like this at home and like a one trick pony, it's going to get old quick. How many times can you win by getting cut to ribbons? They are not helping him with this sort of home cooking.

As many of us heard via social media, President Obama made a statement at the 2014 White House Iftaar in support of Israel's right to defend itself against Rocket Fire from Hamas. I, like many American Muslims, was very upset after hearing this and wondered how and why the President, who I supported and voted for in 2008 and 2012, would say something so disrespectful to an audience of mainly American Muslims at a White House Iftaar.But after thinking about it and reading articles and f … [Read more...]

An American Ramadan, Circa 1955

Are blogebrities ready to appear in ads?
Sez Jessica Coen at last night's Cult of the Celebrity panel,
Because all we see are celebrities marketing absolutely everything at this point, we feel a degree of ownership over them.
Celebrity culture has meshed with marketing enough that a Nike Tiger Woods ad builds both brands, Nike's and Tiger's. The classier celebrity endorsement is less shilling, more fortuitous casting. Meanwhile, advertisers shoot for niche recognition by buying rights to cult and niche figures. Quizno's uses spongemonkeys from Rather Good; Geico uses Speed Racer.
Why not use blogebrities in marketing? If they're not yet ready for TV, would it work for ad banners? Corporate sites?
So far I've seen Jason Kottke at Defunker, but nothing that seemed to involve a paycheck since Mark Frauenfelder's Apple ad (.mov file) in 2002. Is there still too much stigma of payola to see Phillip Torrone plugging your circuitboard kit?
While WIN heartily points out that it doesn't even keep reviewed gadgets, I imagine Gawker Media might let Gina Trapani flash a Fisher space pen. I could see Merlin Mann doing the same, with a Moleskine to boot.
I'm confident a blogger could sell a product on a corporate site, and maybe even off the web. Does any blogebrity have the chops to promote a product past gadgets and hipster wear? And can amateur bloggers appear in ads instead of hosting ads?

Short for binary digit, the smallest unit of information on a machine. The term was first used in 1946 by John Tukey, a leading statistician and adviser to five presidents. A single bit can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1. More meaningful information is obtained by combining consecutive bits into larger units. For example, a byteis composed of 8 consecutive bits.
Computers are sometimes classified by the number of bits they can process at one time or by the number of bits they use to represent addresses. These two values are not always the same, which leads to confusion. For example, classifying a computer as a 32-bit machine might mean that its data registers are 32 bits wide or that it uses 32 bits to identify each address in memory. Whereas larger registers make a computer faster, using more bits for addresses enables a machine to support larger programs.
Graphics are also often described by the number of bits used to represent each dot. A 1-bit image is monochrome; an 8-bit image supports 256 colors or grayscales; and a 24- or 32-bit graphic supports true color.

I was pretty surprised to see this pop up on the Gamespot E3 stream, but apparently this game is getting an update in late summer for all platforms (360, PS3, Windows 8) that will improve the leaderboards and add support for DLC skins and music.
The game's also coming to Steam, too, apparently! I'm really happy about that, especially given that we're nearing the end of the current console generation.

Real and ready.
I am happy with who I am, and am ready to meet a man with whom to develop a fun, loving, trusting, intimate relationship with. I want to share my love, my life, and my dreams with a special someone. It is important to me to find someone who fits my young-at-heart look and lifestyle. The photos posted are very current. I want a man who is grounded, spiritually aware to some extent, open hearted, loving, health conscious (my body seems to reject junky eating and lots of drinking nowadays), and emotionally available. A decent attractive look and sense of style is important, and intelligent conversational ability is a must. I'm not a huge "talker" as in I really value silence, but I do love to go back and forth about all types of subjects from the origins of the universe to the pyramids in Egypt, different dimensions, religion/spirit, art, food, film, the world, truth, healthy living...sky's the limit to what I muse about and what stimulates me in conversation. I'm a sweet and mellow being with an adventurous and sometimes impulsive edge. If I get an idea, want to try something new, or travel someplace...I'll just do it. The other side of me is grounded and practical. Balance is so important. My life has been an adventurous journey thus far of learning, growth, fun, exploration...full of travel (my greatest passion), partying (of which I have grown out of--but I still like to go dancing or grab some drinks once in awhile--oh and I love going to Burningman and festivals), learning important lessons in relationships, spiritual development, fulfilling friendships, family (I have a beautiful niece who has brought my blood family closer together), and lots of fun activities - which often includes just being a homebody. It would be amazing to share my homebody moods with snuggles and touch with you! A major focus in my life lately is learning and practicing healthier living...so I can feel good and light, instead of heavy and irritated. I'm also taking classes in Asian Healing arts, energywork and bodywork, and loving exploring new nutrition options, herbalism, and alternative health. Learning is a lifetime endeavor. What a refreshing change from 10 years of working as a hospital pharmacist...where I see people continue to NOT HEAL. If you resonate with anything I write, please send me a message...I'm a busy girl but will respond if something catches my eye~

I like Dogs
I absolutely love dogs. I can't wait to get one...just waiting for the right time. I hope whoever I date loves dogs too. I'm allergic to cats.
Terroir wine bar, Foreign Cinema, Nopalito, Sight Glass, Four Barrel, Chapel, Dolores Park, redwood forests off 35, Miramar beach. There are so many good spots for food, drink, exploration, conversation and flirting...
A few of my favorite things: stimulating conversation, fresh and fancy food, neighborhood walks, light hikes in nature, happy hour at a hip or funky joint, a good film on the couch, snuggles, sharing massage and bodywork, travelling the world.
Hiking, day trips, weekend trips, travel, hot springs and spas, eating out, a cocktail, conversation, snuggles, massage, friends, family, love.
Surfing the Himalayas. I read a lot, mostly health/spirit related books, that just happens to be what I read last. It's a cool novel.

The Route Plan
The general route plan is to ride around South America in 2010 and then ship or fly over the Atlantic to spend 2011 around Africa and then make my way towards India.
Click on the map to go to the interactive version in Google Maps.
Being a geo-political news junkie, I've been keeping abreast of the news in the regions I'll be traveling through and will avoid areas that are deemed unstable. However, one thing going in my favor is my brown skin color. In Mexico, with the few Spanish phrases that I could speak, people assumed I was Mexican since they can range from fair to dark and brown fits in there somewhere. I'll be taking a Spanish language immersion course in Guatemala and if I can come out of there speaking fluently, I should be able to pass for a local in many countries. Of course, I'll see what I can do about learning Portuguese for Brazil. My French is going to need a brush-up before I enter West Africa and besides that English should get me by along with a dose of respect for the locals.
After Africa, I'd like to continue overland through the Middle East into India. However, I'm not sure I can get a visa for Pakistan or if I'll be allowed to cross the border from Iran into Pakistan at Taftan. But that's two years away and I'll figure it out as I get closer.
Being an Indian citizen, my situation dictates that once I leave the US, the only country that will bureaucratically welcome me with open arms will be Mother India and thus the journey will be heading towards there. However, I might slow down somewhere along the way. And that could be in southern Africa, as I consider Zambia to be a second home and would like to give back to the country that provided me an exciting childhood.
Along with noting down the routes traversed by previous motorcycle travelers, the general climate in each region will dictate how the route goes. For example, I'll be avoiding the rainy season in Brazil and the super hot summers of the Sahara.

Outrageous Fortune: Artists Remake The Tarot
AboutAn exhibition showcasing contemporary artists' interpretations of the classic Tarot de Marseille deck of cards. Although used as playing cards throughout Europe since the 15th century, in the English-speaking world the tarot is generally associated with divination and fortune telling. A rich source of imagery, it includes such archetypes as The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Lovers, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man and Death. For this project, seventy-eight artists, whose work encompasses a variety of formal, conceptual, expressionist, literary or design-based approaches, have been asked to create a card for a contemporary tarot pack. Each artist has been drawn a card randomly, and invited to reinterpret it in their own way while working to a prescribed size and format. Among the contributions are works by Mike Nelson, Adam Chodzko, Cerith Wyn Evans, Lindsay Seers and Susan Hiller. A Hayward Touring/Focal Point Gallery exhibition, curated by Andrew Hunt.

I am so sick of people who think there's only 1 way to do things and then who get all bent out of shape when you say something. The best part is when you return the sentiment, and they have an absolute cow!!!
I am by no stretch of the imagination perfect, and yes at times I think my way of doing things is the best way, or simply I just want to do something my way. But I at least try to comprimise or at least listen to what someone else has to say.
Grrrr This is why I should avoid people and live in a saddle!
P.S. Is it Friday yet?

Alberto Zaccheroni (Italian pronunciation: [alˈbɛrto dzakkeˈroni]; born 1 April 1953, in Meldola, Emilia-Romagna) is an Italian football manager, currently in charge of the Japan national team, which he led to the final victory in the most recent Asian Cup.
He is best known for having managed a number of top clubs in Serie A, and won a scudetto with A.C. Milan on 1999. He is renowned also for his unconventional and trademark 3–4–3 tactical system
Zaccheroni's playing career was cut short by injury, and he became a manager at the relatively young age of 30 with amateurs Cesenatico. His managerial career took off during the 1997–98 season with Udinese, guiding them to third place in the league and qualification for the UEFA Cup.
Zaccheroni's impressive results at Udinese attracted the attention of Italian giants A.C. Milan, who appointed him as manager after the San Siro club had endured two miserable seasons. Fellow Udinese key players Oliver Bierhoff and Thomas Helveg also joined him in Milan. Zaccheroni delivered instantly, as Milan won the league in the 1998–99 season, pipping Lazio and Fiorentina to the title. The following season was less successful for Zaccheroni as Milan exited the UEFA Champions League early, and although finishing 3rd in Serie A, they were never really in the running for the title. The 2000–01 season was even worse for Zaccheroni as Milan, again, struggled in the Champions League and failed to beat Paris Saint-Germain. This led AC Milan chairman Silvio Berlusconi to sack Zaccheroni and replace him with caretaker manager Cesare Maldini in the spring of 2001.
