Christian Bale is looking to get into the salvage consultancy business.
The Oscar winner is in early talks to headline The Deep Blue Good-by for Fox, Variety reports. An official offer is expected shortly, and if a deal goes through, Bale will play Travis McGee, a self-described "salvage consultant" who recovers clients' properties for a fee. McGee is the focus of a series of 21 novels written by John D. MacDonald, with the first book, The Deep Blue Good-by, published in 1964.
Director James Mangold is attached to helm the adaptation, which would reteam him and Bale for the first time since 3:10 to Yuma. Novelist and screenwriter Dennis Lehane wrote the script.

It's official: Nuggets' Gallinari out for season with torn ACL
Apr 5, 2013, 5:13 PM EDT
This was expected, pretty much from the moment we saw the injury and certainly after initial leaks came out about his ACL.
But now it is official: Denver's Danilo Gallinari is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL, the team announced. He will have surgery soon and that's when a timetable for his return will be set — there were no other torn ligaments or no meniscus damage found.
"We're extremely disappointed for Gallo. He was having a career year in scoring and rebounding and was a huge reason for our success," Nuggets executive vice president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri said in a released statement. "We will obviously support him and be there for him throughout his recovery.
"Knowing his work ethic and commitment to getting back on the floor, we are confident he will come back stronger than ever next season."
Gallo likely will miss some of next season, too. Wilson Chandler will get a bump in minutes as will Corey Brewer. Those two have played well — Brewer brings a great defensive presence — but Gallo averaged 16.1 points a game and has been a consistent presence for Denver.
Ty Lawson, the team's point guard and leading scorer, also is out injured (torn plantar fascia) and he may not be back or not 100 percent for the playoffs. All of which takes Denver from a team that was feared to a team that may struggle to get out of the first round.
- philadelphiafan - Apr 5, 2013 at 5:37 PM
Very unfortunate for Denver. Hopefully they can still make a run in the playoffs, they're a good team for the NBA.
- LilTmac2003 - Apr 5, 2013 at 6:02 PM
Wish him a speedy recovery!
As a Bulls fan, I would never want for another player to go through an ACL injury. It's beyond time consuming.
Hoping Rose, RG3, and Mr. Gallinari the best.
- czechfan - Apr 5, 2013 at 6:10 PM
Shumpert, Drose, Kevin Ware, Rubio, Tmac and now Gallinari (someone else?) and other players. Do you think, it is possible that Adidas has bad or "dangerous" shoes? Or it is just coincidence?
- chrisco716 - Apr 5, 2013 at 7:35 PM
No. Not Adidas' fault. Basketball is just too dangerous. The President needs to ban it. Or at least do better background checks.
- badintent - Apr 5, 2013 at 11:10 PM
Yes ! But not just Adidas. The heavy but super sturdy Pumas I wore in the 70s and 80's was great for protecting your ankles, knees and back(from the shock of hitting the pavement or concrete outdoor courts.The tissue like garabgeNike, Reebok , Adidas , etc make today is a joke. Even with orthotics, many players today in college and the pros are having knee injuries that Baby Boomer generation never had.
- dangernearing - Apr 5, 2013 at 6:48 PM
Huge loss. Hoping for a speedy recovery
- gmsingh - Apr 6, 2013 at 10:14 AM
…and he'll still be back before D. Rose!

Transcript of "Physical Activity and Sports Development Strategy"
1. Making Belfast More Active - the Physical Activity and Sports Development Strategy for the city of Belfast Produced by Genesis Consulting Limited Strategic Management Consultants and the University of Stirling for Belfast City Council and Sport Northern Ireland November 2005
Introduction Sport and physical activity are of growing strategic significance, being recognised as having the potential to contribute to many health, social and economic objectives. With this in mind, the main organisations with an interest in sport in Belfast have come together to build a strategy for the development of physical activity and sport in Belfast. Sport has always played an important part in the life of the city of Belfast and, historically, there has been an extensive commitment to the provision of major sporting and leisure facilities and the staging of major sporting events. However, despite this substantial investment in facilities, compared to other UK cities, there has been relatively limited investment in sports development personnel and programmes. A number of organisations have sought to address this gap in policy and funding. In particular, Sport Belfast was established to provide a vehicle for the development of sport in the city and to promote partnership working amongst the key agencies with an interest in sport. The main partners currently involved in Sport Belfast are: • Belfast City Council (BCC) • Sports Council for Northern Ireland (now Sport Northern Ireland) (SCNI) • Belfast Community Sports Development Network (BCSDN) • Belfast Education and Library Board (BELB) • Queen's University, Belfast (QUB). Much has been achieved through this partnership and the city has a unique network of community-based sports development programmes within the BCSDN. Equally, the SCNI and BELB have made a major contribution to sports development through the Youth Sport initiative. Belfast City Council has recently reviewed its recreation provision and has established a small team of sport and physical recreation development officers. This strategy seeks to build on the contributions made by all the agencies involved but also to find new and innovative ways to ensure a more systematic and comprehensive approach to the development of opportunities for sport and physical activity. In August 2004, Belfast City Council and the Sports Council for Northern Ireland commissioned Genesis Strategic Management Consultants, in partnership with the University of Stirling, to facilitate the development of this strategy.
A broadly based steering group was appointed to oversee the development of the strategy, drawing from relevant organisations, including representatives from Sport Belfast, council departments, the Sports Council for Northern Ireland, the Belfast Education and Library Board and the Belfast Community Sports Development Network. A full list of members is given in Appendix 2 of this report. A key feature of the approach to the development of the strategy has been the extent of consultation undertaken and this is summarised below. This final document has been produced by the steering group following consideration of responses received from a number of organisations following the circulation of a consultative draft for public comment.
Strategic context For a sport and physical activity strategy to be successful, it has to be clearly linked into the wider strategic frameworks which exist and it must show how it can deliver the wider objectives of key partner agencies. External context To examine the external context, a range of strategic documentation was reviewed to identify the corporate objectives and key features which may impact on the development of the Belfast strategy. These include: • Northern Ireland Government - Focus Draft Priorities and Budget (2005/6 to 2007/8) • Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) - Corporate Strategy (2004 to 2007) • Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) – Five-year Physical Activity Strategy and Action Plan consultative document (2004) • Starting Well, Staying Involved and Striving for Excellence – Strategy for the Development of Sport in Northern Ireland (1997 to 2005) • Sports Council for Northern Ireland - Corporate Plan (2003 to 2006) • Sports Council for Northern Ireland Lottery - Strategic Plan (2003/4 to 2007/8) • Coaching Northern Ireland - Coaching the Future policy document • Disability Action - Agenda for Change. General trends Key issues emerging from this review included the following: • 72 per cent of 16 to 19-year-olds participate in sport compared to 62 per cent of 20 to 24-year-olds • six out of ten adults participate in one or more sports - this equates to 59 per cent of the total population • the most popular activities are walking, swimming and keep fit • sport contributes £254 million to Northern Ireland's gross domestic produce (GDP)
• around 12 per cent of people in Northern Ireland are members of sports clubs • people in Northern Ireland spend a total of £600,000 every day on sports-related activities • Northern Ireland's sporting industry supports 12,500 jobs • the majority of the population in Northern Ireland participate in some form of physical activity. Northern Ireland Government - Focus Draft Priorities and Budget (2005/6 to 2007/8) In its budget planning, the Northern Ireland Office has indicated a range of major strategic issues which need to influence investment. These include: • there is a higher level of poverty in Northern Ireland compared to Great Britain • many households in the bottom 30 per cent of income distribution contain lone parents and people with disabilities • 150,000 children live in households experiencing poverty • Northern Ireland remains a deeply divided society which is costly in both social and public resource terms • the standard of health in general is lower than the UK average • numbers dying from heart disease in Northern Ireland are amongst the highest in Europe. Much of the schools' estates are in poor condition and unsuited to the needs of modern approaches to teaching and learning. As a result of this information, they have established the following key priorities: • to build more economic competitiveness • to build a better, more qualified and skilled workforce • to build equality and community cohesion • to provide better public services. Department of Culture Arts and Leisure (DCAL) - Corporate Strategy (2004 to 2007) DCAL has long recognised the importance of participation in sport and in the arts, and is committed to working for a healthier people.
DCAL is responsible in Northern Ireland for developing policy, service delivery, administration and monitoring of sport and leisure. DCAL's vision is: • To protect, nurture and grow our cultural capital for today and tomorrow. DCAL's key goals are to: • enable as many as possible to experience and appreciate the excellence of our cultural assets • promote creativity and innovation, and lifelong learning • encourage respect for and celebration of diversity • ensure the sustainable management of our cultural infrastructure • develop and deliver quality cultural products and services • reform and modernise our service delivery Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) - Five Year Physical Activity Strategy and Action Plan Consultative Document (2004) The DHSSPS's physical activity strategy covering the next five years makes clear the importance being placed on physical activity and the role it has to play in improving peoples' lives. The aim of the strategy is to: • promoting the benefits of regular physical activity and to encourage everyone in Northern Ireland to participate in daily activity, with particular emphasis on those who are inactive • increasing the number of people participating in physical activity • raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity • providing appropriate and accessible information to enable people to make preferred activity choices • providing safe accessible and appealing opportunities for activities to meet individual needs, preferences and life circumstances. Starting Well, Staying Involved and Striving for Excellence – Strategy for the Development of Sport in Northern Ireland (1997 to 2005) This document is the current strategy for sport in Northern Ireland, produced on behalf
of sport in the province by the SCNI at the invitation of the then Department of Education. At the time of writing, DCAL and the SCNI were working together to produce a new strategy for sport in the province and the consultative draft of that strategy is expected to be published early in 2006. The key strategic themes in the existing strategy are: • increasing support for volunteers • giving young people a sound start in sport • improving co-ordination and co-operation • facilitating movement in sport. Sports Council for Northern Ireland (SCNI) - Corporate Plan (2003 to 2006) Sport plays an important part in the lives of people throughout Northern Ireland and it is the role of the Sports Council for Northern Ireland to develop and invest in sport at all levels. The SCNI vision as stated in its corporate plan is: "Through sport, to contribute to an inclusive, creative, competent, informed and prosperous community" Sports Council for Northern Ireland - Lottery Strategic Plan The SCNI Lottery Strategic Plan sets out its forecasts for funding up until 2007/8 and identifies its priorities in terms of funding for that period which will be split across the many areas of sport throughout Northern Ireland. Coaching Northern Ireland - Coaching the Future policy document Coaching plays an integral role in sports development and Coaching Northern Ireland now has a five-year implementation plan that attempts to place the UK Vision recommendations within specific local context.
The sports development strategy must consider the goals and strategic objectives of Coaching Northern Ireland for there to be a real integrated strategy towards developing sport in Northern Ireland. Disability Action - Agenda for Change Expanding access to sport for people with disabilities is a major priority and this report makes useful recommendations. Its key goals are: • further research on participation levels of people with disabilities in sport and to establish a baseline • ensure the inclusion of children with disabilities in the PE curriculum in mainstream schools • provide disability-specific training programmes for all PE and trainee teachers • develop inclusive and disability-specific facilities and equipment and provide organised sports and physical activity programmes in leisure centres • provide disability, equality and awareness training programmes for all leisure staff which should be a mandatory requirement of all grant aid. By addressing the needs of disabled people and supporting the goals and objectives of the Agenda for Change, the sports development strategy will aid in the promotion of a more inclusive Northern Ireland. Internal context At a more local level, the strategy needs to be linked to other important strategic documents and developments within Belfast. For example, Belfast City Council's Corporate Plan has highlighted the significance of sport for the city and has identified a number of key priorities in developing the city. These include: • providing leadership for the city • creating a clean and attractive city • creating a safe city • creating a healthy city
• creating a strong economy • encouraging and supporting good relations. The Corporate Plan identifies the importance of the contribution that sport can make to the city and states the commitment on behalf of the council to the development of sport. Belfast Statement of Needs also highlights the importance of sport and physical activity in creating a healthier Belfast whose priorities are to include: • improving and investing in health • achieving a strong balanced economy with a healthy environment and an inclusive society • promoting physical activity and leisure • protecting and enhancing open spaces and playing facilities. Overall conclusions The above brief summary shows some of the key internal and external strategic influences which provide, overall, a strong recognition of the importance of sport and physical activity within Northern Ireland and Belfast. The challenge for this strategy therefore is to ensure that plans are put in place which actually deliver the contribution of sport to the city. It is also important to recognise, as part of the implementation of this strategy, that it needs to be kept in tune with new and emerging strategies and policies and especially the new sports strategy for Northern Ireland to be published in 2006. The wider health context of physical activity will also be a critical dimension moving forward and links to future physical activity strategies also in development will be important.
The consultative approach The approach to the production of this strategy involved extensive consultation through Open Space events 1 and focus groups and interviews with key stakeholders in sport from Belfast and Northern Ireland (full consultation list, Appendix 3.) This section summarises the key outputs from the consultation phase of the project which have influenced the strategic directions being proposed by the steering group. Open Space events Two publicly advertised Open Space events were held in Belfast and attracted a wide range of representatives from organisations throughout the city with an interest in sport. Delegates attending these meetings were asked to consider the question "Where are we now?" and to identify positive and negative views on sport in Belfast. The table below summarises the main points arising: Areas of strength Areas of weakness Resources, volunteers, Ageing facilities which are no funding, training/development longer 'fit for purpose' courses available Facilities Lack of co-ordinated approach, lack of strategic vision and drive Enhanced cross-community Resources, financial and relations and development volunteers Opportunities to participate Approach to sports development Passion and commitment to Political and religious divide sport Improvement in strategic Knowledge and information planning and vision Delegates then discussed the main issues on which they wanted to see action. The top six areas identified from the first meeting were: 1 An Open Space conference allows those attending to set the agenda around the things that they believe to be critical to the topic and promotes robust cross-interest discussions
• practical networking • mainstream/core funding • facilities • PE and school sport • club development • coaching development. Other areas which people voted for included community-based sport, attracting administrators and supporting volunteers, youth participation, structures in sport, opportunities for people with disabilities, club administration, finance, employment networks, partnership working, sport and personal development and community empowerment. The top areas identified from the second meeting were: • access to facilities • swimming • club development • co-operation between sports • volunteers • employment networks • sport and personal development • broadening the number of sports catered for in Belfast. Other priority action areas identified included partnerships, major events, community empowerment and disability sport. Focus groups and interviews The final strategic report will contain a detailed analysis of the consultation inputs from the wide range of organisations and individuals who were interviewed. In this document, we have selected the most common comments: • sport plays an important role in personal, social and community development in Belfast, but lacks recognition for this role • a range of funding is available for different sporting projects, but access to these funds is often difficult for smaller organisations • ageing council facilities with poor access • school facilities, in the main, remain closed to community access • lack of facilities and programmes for disabled people
• lack of effective partnership working beyond that promoted by Sport Belfast • uncoordinated approach to sports development with duplication of effort and competition for scarce resources • much of existing sports development is funded on a short-term basis • there is a lack of strategic leadership • clear pathway and progression structures for all (participants, coaches, administrators) are required • a community, needs-based approach which is established in parts of the city needs to be extended to cover the whole city • existing projects need to be more accountable and subject to an evaluation of their real impact. Vision and key goals The steering group was unanimous that sport and physical activity could contribute much more than it presently does to the life of Belfast and its citizens and that an effective and compelling sports development strategy was central to delivering the many benefits to which the city could aspire. The steering group has considered all the above information and agree that their vision should be: • Together - putting sport and physical recreation at the heart of Belfast In order to realise that vision, the steering group has identified five key goals which it suggests the key partners should commit to over the five-year period of the strategy and against which a detailed set of strategic initiatives and actions should be developed. The proposed goals are: • Goal 1: Partnership – creating effective coordination, partnerships and communication • Goal 2: Capacity - building community, volunteering and club capacity • Goal 3: Facilities – developing effective use of the right facilities in the right places • Goal 4: Participation– increasing levels of participation • Goal 5: Performance – developing pathways to performance Strategic initiatives In order to deliver these goals, the steering group developed a series of strategic initiatives that form the core of action proposed within the strategy.
Under each strategic initiative, a list of detailed actions has been developed and these, in turn, will be developed into detailed annual action plans. The action plans will also indicate the measures by which progress will be assessed. The initial list of strategic initiatives proposed includes the following: • schools and third level institutions • building sustainable club and community developments • raising the profile of sport and physical activity in the city • health and physical activity • developing coaches and volunteers • supporting the main leisure centres in becoming development and community- focused • developing pathways to performance. In addition to the seven strategic initiatives proposed and outlined above, the steering group also proposes that a detailed monitoring and evaluation framework should be created and overseen by Sport Belfast to ensure that the strategy achieves its objectives and that priorities can be adjusted as circumstances change. Each of the strategic initiatives will lead to a specific action plan, to be discussed and adopted by the partners in Sport Belfast. The framework of each of these groups of actions is identified in the tables below: Initiative 1 – Schools and third level institutions S1 Review and audit the present educational resources available for sport in Belfast S2 Build links and programmes within all the educational sectors S3 Renew the Youth Sport programme S4 Improve community accessibility of school, college and university facilities S4 Promote the value of sport in all educational establishments S5 Establish a Personal Development Through Sport project Initiative 2 – Building sustainable club and community developments C1 Seek sustainable funding for community programmes C2 Investigate where new community programmes can be established C3 Appoint a clubs development officer

Implementation Background One of the major issues considered by the steering group was the need for effective partnership working amongst those organisations working with sport in the city. Belfast has been relatively unique amongst UK cities in having, until recently, only very limited resources and personnel dedicated to the development of sport. As has been indicated above, in the absence of a strong developmental lead from Belfast City Council, Sport Belfast was established to enable the main partner organisations to create a framework for development and to fund sport development projects and programmes. For eight years, Sport Belfast has delivered effective partnership working at an operational level but has also addressed some strategic issues and made a valuable contribution to sport in the city. It has extended and focused the work achieved by the individual partners. Within the limited resources available, Sport Belfast has been operationally effective in securing good levels of partnership activity and in illustrating the potential for greater investment in sports development in Belfast. Belfast City Council recently has taken a welcome initiative by appointing one permanent and one temporary sports development officer to their staff. A unique community-led approach In the absence of significant council resources, sports development has been left to community initiatives and a range of projects and significant programmes have been brought together under the banner of the Belfast Community Sports Development Network. This level of community-initiated and driven activity is unique in the UK and a great strength on which Belfast can build. The first issue for the future is sustainability. Little, if any, of this community activity has mainstream funding and this means that a considerable amount of energy goes into raising funding and, in turn, this can lead to
competition for scarce resources and distraction from the primary objectives of the initiatives. The second issue is accountability. While there is an immense amount of excellent work being done at a local level, there has been little systematic monitoring to enable evaluation of the effectiveness of programmes and investment. Without this information, it is difficult to argue for extra resources or to set realistic performance targets. Steering group discussions indicate that the required changes to enable Belfast to establish a sports development structure on a par with other cities will create tensions as existing organisations adapt to new ways of working. We believe that there is no alternative to significant change if the aspirations of the strategy and the city are to be fulfilled. However, the proposed approach is designed to build on the strengths of achievements to date and recognises the contribution of all those organisations and individuals who have been committed to Belfast's unique approach. New directions The key issues which have emerged from the review of the structures supporting sports development in Belfast are: • the need for a renewed partnership organisation in the city which can deliver the necessary strong strategic lead and establish a robust process for building partner commitment which will implement the strategy. • the strengthening and deepening of the role which Belfast City Council plays in sports development • continuing commitment from the other strategic partners • the need to sustain and support the existing network of community programmes. A renewed strategic partnership We have concluded that an effective strategy will only be implemented in Belfast if there is a partnership body with senior representation from the main partners which can find the resources for the strategy and monitor progress.
We take the view that this strategic partnership should build on the track record of Sport Belfast and that a renewed and strengthened strategic partnership must be created, involving senior officer representation from the key partners. The renewed Sport Belfast will continue to require professional assistance if it is to play this strategic role and we suggest that a similar arrangement be made as, at present, with the Sport Belfast officer being employed by the partnership and housed within Belfast City Council. In addition to this strategic partnership, it is vital that the organisations which have the potential resources to invest in and lead the strategy build effective communications with the wide range of community sports organisations in the city. Consequently, we suggest that a Belfast Sports Forum is established to enable ongoing involvement of governing bodies, clubs, schools and universities and community organisations in the development of sport and physical activity. That body would only need to meet perhaps twice each year and would provide advice to Sport Belfast. The proposed membership of the Sport Belfast strategic partnership would include: • Belfast City Council • Belfast Community Sports Development Network • Belfast Education and Library Board • Sports Council for Northern Ireland • representatives from the health sector • representatives from further and higher education. As one major objective of this whole strategy is the raising of the profile of sport in Belfast, the strategic partners will want to consider carefully the appointment of the chairs for both Sport Belfast and the Belfast Sports Forum to ideally to try to find people who themselves have a public profile. The role of Belfast City Council Belfast City Council (BCC) is the body with the main democratic mandate and must be central to the future development of sport in Belfast. The extent to which it can play a major role, in line with other UK cities, will depend on available resources and we suggest that there is a strong case for significant investment and for the council, in line with its own civic leadership goal, to take responsibility for the leadership of the strategy within the framework provided by Sport Belfast.
It should be recognised that the level of investment required will be small in comparison with the current revenue costs of facilities. We recognise that moving resources from a facilities-based approach to a community development-based approach cannot happen immediately. However, we suggest that a series of new pilot projects be established to build support and confidence in developing and financing this new type of approach. A people-focused, sports development-driven approach will not solve all the problems resulting from the city's ageing stock of leisure centres. It will deliver real benefits in terms of community cohesion, sports participation and health and allow the council to develop a better understanding of the role of facilities in the development of sport and physical activity in Belfast. One of the present strengths of sports development in Belfast, as mentioned above, is the extent of the initiatives operating at community level. It is important that the council supports that level of activity and initiative and that it does not seek to replace or limit it with centrally-driven activity but there is a need for a more strategic and integrated approach to these initiatives, many of which are simply health- driven. Our suggested roles for a sports development unit in the council are designed to be supportive of local activity managed within communities. We suggest that the council has four key functions to consider within the proposed strategic approach: • supporting the strategic partnership in the form of the reconstituted Sport Belfast which will provide the overall inter-agency coordination • supporting the expansion and sustainability of community-driven initiatives through the provision of advice and funding • creating core resources for sports-specific pathways (where possible, in partnership with key governing bodies of sport) • supporting the managers of the major leisure centres as they seek to develop effective sports development and community partnership structures. The exact structure of the BCC sports development team is something which the council will have to consider further, but we suggest that the following categories of staff may be required: • a sports development manager to lead the council's activity in this area • officers to provide support and advice in core areas which could include sport for people with a disability, club, coach and volunteer development and health and physical activity
• sports- specific officers for a number of target sports • an officer or officers to take responsibility for monitoring and evaluation, information and communications. The roles of the partners While BCC is recognised as having the main democratic mandate to support sport in the city, it is important for the other partners joining Sport Belfast to acknowledge their responsibilities. The primary commitments of all partners should be to provide senior staff representation to support the work of the partnership and to play an agreed role in the implementation of relevant initiatives within the strategy. In addition to the contribution of senior staff to the overall implementation of the strategy, partners will be expected to provide operational staff resources to support initiatives as agreed. It is important that partners agree to the integration of their own initiatives within the strategy and to the monitoring and evaluation of that work as part of the overall measurement of the strategy's effectiveness. A limited number of the partners will be able to contribute financial resources to the strategy, but it is hoped that those who have that ability will focus their investment on the implementation of the strategy. Those who would be expected to contribute would include the SCNI, BELB and the various health bodies. The role of BCSDN will be critical in developing and encouraging good practice and cooperation amongst the various programmes, partnerships and initiatives at a community level. BCSDN will be an important channel of communication to BCC and Sport Belfast. The academic institutions of the city, especially the two universities, have confirmed their interest in doing all they can as primary partners to support the development of sport and physical activity and they need to be given the scope to make that contribution. It is important to note that the implications of the Review of Public Administration in Northern Ireland will have an impact on a number of the organisations which are part of the envisaged future structure. This implementation process of the strategy will require to engage with the new organisations as they are established and, in the areas of health and education, this will
be of particular importance. Resources Belfast has the resources it needs to develop this strategy but to do so will require hard decisions to be taken about the balance between the subsidy provided to under-used and ageing facilities and support for sports development. The council needs to conduct a further review of its facility stock, management, programming and pricing policies and look to free up the resources steadily over the next five years for the support and development of community-based sport. If it fails to do this, and despite its best efforts to modernise facilities, the council will find it impossible to achieve the goals of this strategy and the consequence will be further declines in the levels of use of what will continue to be an ageing stock of facilities. It is important to stress that this strategy has not investigated the provision and management of the city's facilities in any detail as that was not included in the brief. However, issues of facility management, programming and charging have been raised on a consistent basis by all consultees as a major inhibiting factor limiting the development of sport in the city and it is impossible for that issue to be ignored. For the future, the issues of development and facilities need to be considered in a more integrated fashion. Supporting the existing community network As has been indicated above, one of Belfast's strengths is the extent of its community- driven sports development and this strategy proposes building on that foundation. To do this will require more resources, both to fill the gaps in the present network and to improve the sustainability of current initiatives. The major potential funders of this activity will be the council and the Sports Council for Northern Ireland. Efforts should be made to create service level agreements with the local partnerships as part of seeking to establish more sustainable funding. These agreements would include commitments to monitoring and evaluation and to involvement in the wider framework of partnership working embodied within the overall strategy.

Wigs Wikimedia Commons Popular in England and France in the 17th and 18th centuries, wigs were worn by royalty, noblemen and wealthy guys who were either trying to emulate whatever look was fashionable or to conceal baldness. They were expensive as hell, and often fairly ridiculous (take a look at Louis XIV). Though huge, puffy wigs that cost as much as everything else you were wearing were certainly laughable, at least men generally only treated their wigs (or hair) with powder -- many women were basically shampooing with sulfuric acid, so dudes got off pretty easy in the hair department.

Good but overpriced
I enjoyed this tea but frankly it is very expensive for what you are getting. Each bag only makes 32 oz of Iced Tea and only 5 bags per container. And if you are an Iced Tea drinker you know that doesn't go very far.
What an amazing find! Was able to sample the bottled tea at a favorite local restaurant and immediately went to the site to order for home use. Iced tea is my beverage of choice and The Republic of Tea make the experience an amazing one... : )
Please sell this tea in bulk!
This tea has excellent flavor with or without sweetener. It's a nice light refreshing tea. Please sell in bulk. Or, sell in the refill bag. I have too many tins on hand.
Great Iced Tea. Pricey.
This is a wonderful ice tea but I wish they would sell it in bulk. I go through 5 1-quart tea bags quickly and at this price they cost a lot more than the full-leaf black teas I also use.
Best Iced Tea
I've been experimenting with various tea bags for making iced tea for a while and this has created the best tasting tea I've ever made for Iced Tea. If you like it with or without sugar, this has a nice light flavor, that I prefer in iced tea.

There are four warning signs of a heart attack that most Americans know nothing about. As a matter of fact, when surveyed on recognizing the warning signs of a heart attack, Americans get a near-failing grade in a new study by the CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention.
According to cardiovascular disease expert Dr. Chauncey Crandall, the reason people don't recognize certain warning signs is because they don't even notice them. What's scary is that 25 percent of all heart attacks occur after these things happen.
The problem is, the longer treatment is delayed, the greater the decrease in the amount of heart muscle that can be saved, leading to irreversible damage or even death. The most critical period for survival occurs within the first hour of a heart attack. Cardiologists refer to this as the "golden hour."
According to the American Heart Association, there are actually procedures that can stop heart attacks in progress, thus minimizing any cardiovascular damage and ultimately saving a life. This is why the "golden hour" is so important; however, what YOU do in that period is what really matters.
Here's the catch. Most people don't react to their symptoms in that timeframe. Why? Because they don't even recognize the warning signs — or worse, they're afraid to go to the emergency room only to find it was a false alarm. They're afraid of the embarrassing possibility that what they thought was a heart attack was really just an overzealous meatball they shouldn't have eaten anyway.
So even if you think you MIGHT be experiencing the possible warning signs of a heart attack, trying to ride it out at home while swearing off meatballs could result in devastating and potentially irreversible consequences. Recognize the warning signs and act quickly — embarrassment in the ER will pass, but a heart attack or death could be permanent.
If you experience what you think might be one of the warning signs of a heart attack, the first thing to do is call 9-1-1. It's the fastest way to get critical medical attention, regardless of how major or minor your warning signs are. Never drive yourself to the emergency room! Heart attack patients who arrive by ambulance always receive faster treatment. If the ER staff sees you can walk in on your own, you could wind up sitting in the waiting room well past the "golden hour."
To clear up the confusion surrounding the hidden warning signs of silent heart attacks, Dr. Crandall has created a special video presentation to promote public awareness, teach immediate action steps, and ultimately help save lives.

If Steve Coleman's music sounds a little chilly sometimes, it's because he's more interested in compositional logics than setting a mood.

August 19, 2010 As a composer, Coleman has been heavily influenced by James Brown's funk. You wouldn't mistake Coleman's band Five Elements for J.B.'s, but like the Godfather of Soul, he goes in for fast, jittery beats on Harvesting Semblances and Affinities.

Keyon Dooling Won't Have Much Effect on Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies haven't kept it very quiet that they have been in a search for a guard that they can bring off the bench to play a few spot minutes here and there. As of right now, they have only Jerryd Bayless, who has been decent, and Tony Wroten, who has been relatively ineffective coming off of their bench at the guard position.
It seems like their search for that guard is over now as all reports say that Memphis will sign veteran guard Keyon Dooling sometime this week. Dooling is currently a part of the front office for the Boston Celtics right now after retiring last summer. However, he is expected to come out of retirement to play with Memphis.
Dooling was a member of the Celtics roster last season, playing in 46 games for them. He played limited minutes for Boston, though, seeing the floor for just 14.4 minutes per game. In those minutes, he averaged four points and 1.1 assists per game on 40.5 percent shooting and 33.3 percent shooting from long range.
The assumption that has been made by talking heads around basketball is that Dooling will take away the few minutes that Wroten has received this year. Wroten has played just 8.1 minutes per game for the Grizzlies this year and has done very little for the team in that time.
Though it's impossible to say for certain, it feels like Dooling will have around the same impact when he does get signed by Memphis and joins the team. He will simply be a player to come into the game every now and then and not foul things up for the Grizzlies. There's value in that type of player, but his overall effect on the game is definitely minimal.

Italian helmer Gianfranco Rosi to head Locarno Film Fest main jury
July 15, 2014 - 12:31 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Italian director Gianfranco Rosi, winner of the 2013 Venice Golden Lion for docu "Sacro GRA," will head the main jury of the 67th Locarno Film Festival, Variety said.
Rosi will preside a jury panel that comprises German helmer-scribe Thomas Arslan, whose "Gold" was a Berlin standout this year; Brazilian actress Alice Braga ("City of God," "Elysium"); Danish actress Connie Nielsen ("Gladiator"), seen most recently in Lars Von Trier's "Nymphomaniac"; and Chinese director Diao Yinan, winner of this year's Berlin Golden Bear for "Black Coal, Thin Ice."
Syrian director Ossama Mohammed, whose "Silvered Water, Syria Self-Portrait" recently screened to acclaim at Cannes, will head Locarno's Filmmaker of the Present jury.
Mohammed will be serving jury duty alongside Thierry Jobin, the Swiss topper of the Fribourg Festival; Canadian writer, director and actor Don McKellar ("The Grand Seduction"); French actress Clemence Poesy ("Last Love"); and France-based Hong Kong native Mary Stephen, ace editor of, among other films, Eric Rohmer's "Conte d'automne" and Lixin Fan's "Last Train Home."
Rutger Hauer will head the jury for Locarno's Pards of Tomorrow jury for shorts, flanked by Brazilian director and programmer Helvécio Marins Jr. ("Girimunho"); Spanish filmmaker Lois Patino ("Costa da morte"); Ukrainian director Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy, winner of this year's Cannes Critics' Week with "The Tribe"; and Swiss director Nicole Vogele ("Nebel").
Locarno's full lineup will be announced on July 16. The prominent Swiss fest dedicated to indie and innovative cinema will run Aug. 6-16.

Poetry with a dark twist,
This review is from: The Night Post: A New Selection (Salt Modern Poets) (Hardcover)
If you "don't like poetry" I would suggest you pick up this volume of Sweeney's poems and dive straight in. With a dry wit and an eye for detail, these poems will make you ponder on life's little details. The wind and rain pervade as liquid pools of moonlight glint through the pages, while insomnia grabs you and death stalks the streets. Sweeney gets to the heart of life, but rather than spoon-feeding narratives to the reader his style fills in small chunks of a larger story. Dreams hints at premonition and Hitchhiking paints a vivid picture, while Whatever is just plain dark. Throughout the volume we meet death and sex in their many guises, the infirmities of old age and the sharp eyes of youth. These poems aren't flowery sonnets from a make-believe world, they are dark, surreal and full of humour - albeit a very dark kind of humour.
In these days of instant gratification and "no time to read", I would suggest that this volume is slim enough to fit in your jacket pocket, or your bag, ready to be taken out and dipped into in those spare few moments. This isn't the poetry of the classroom, but poetry for now, poetry that makes you think.
