BGA: 2012 Salary Cap Update 1.0
Over the course of the offseason, I'll be posting a series of articles analyzing statistics and data rather than game film. I'll also be revisiting last year's offseason articles to see whether the conclusions drawn were indicative of what was actually going to happen during the season and using that information to try and determine what 2011's data tells us about what might happen in 2012. However, before the new league year gets underway, I'm going to address some issues on the salary cap, draft picks, contracts and free agency side of things. Today I'm going to try and set out a realistic projection for what cap room the Jets are likely to have available once the new league year gets underway.
After the jump, I'll set out the Jets current cap position as far as we are aware, then look at what money they need to spend this offseason, where they can make savings and where this will potentially leave them as the free agent market opens for business.
As ever, if you want to jump in with questions, corrections or speculation, feel free to do so. I am also open to ideas for things you'd like me to cover over the course of the offseason.
We begin with a disclaimer. Our assessment of the cap position and the current value and structure of existing contracts is taken almost entirely from nyjetscap.com. Jason from the site has made every effort to find the exact figures, but the nature of the NFL, especially since the lockout, means that some of his figures include estimates or assumptions and some are based on media reports, which often prove to be incorrect after the fact. However, he's been doing this long enough that we have the utmost faith in the site being as accurate as possible. Given the uncertain nature of these figures, we can only give a general sense of what the current plans are.
In order to determine where the Jets stand, we need to start by establishing salary commitments already in place for 2012 and comparing these with the 2012 salary cap.
On the CBS pre-game show in mid-December, Charlie Casserly reported that the salary cap for 2012 will not increase, or if it does, it will only be slightly. However, one of the conditions of the CBA signed during the offseason was that it definitely cannot go down from 2011, where it was $120,375,000.
Another of the conditions of the new CBA was that teams could "borrow" cap room of up to $3m in 2011 and account for it in a later year (from 2014 to 2017). Most NFL teams took advantage of this, including the Jets, so we can expect them to do the same thing in 2012, where they have the same option, although the amount to be borrowed is restricted to $1.5m. Let's therefore assume a small raise in the cap, just so we work with a round number by including this borrowed cap space to raise the Jets' cap up to exactly $122m.
Looking at salary committed for 2012, the current position is outlined here. As you can see, including dead money, the Jets already have $123m of salary commitments for 2012, putting them OVER the projected cap. The other three teams in the division have significantly lower cap commitments, details of which can again be found on Jason's site.
You can expect the likes of PFT to paint a very grim picture of the Jets' cap situation over the next few months, but – as ever – the Jets have some flexibility, not least because they don't have any high-priced free agents to sign this off-season with the possible exception of Sione Pouha. Here, they are better off their division foes.
However, they don't quite have the flexibility they had in the past few years. It's clear the Jets expected to come out of this season with minimal needs and look to re-tool their depth with their draft picks (of which we are forecasting they should have between 10 and 12). While I think the way the season ended is making some people overreact slightly to the amount of holes the team has, they definitely have some places they will be wanting to upgrade with veteran talent.
Initial Adjustments
Much was made of the Jets decision to preserve a significant chunk of cap space this season, but it was always likely to be needed in 2012, especially with how they structured the larger contracts they dished out in 2011 so that they had low cap hits in the first year, but higher cap hits thereafter.
One of the rule changes in the new CBA made it easier to carry forward unused cap space into a future year. Whereas in the past you'd have had to do something like placing unattainable performance incentives in contracts to use up the current space and create room in the following year, you can now simply carry it over by electing to do so. This means the unused cap space from 2011 can be credited to 2012.
How much unused cap space is there though? This was originally reported as approximately $10m, but Jason's final projection was that they had $8.3m left over at the end of 2011.
Call it $8m and this would mean that the Jets are suddenly about $5m under the cap with only Pouha as a must-sign and before they've made any cap space creating moves. That makes the position look a lot healthier.
However, Jason warns that the escalators from the 2011 season have not yet kicked in and have not been accounted for in the 2012 numbers, so that could leave things looking decidedly less rosy. Here's one place where the Jets failure to make the postseason could be a blessing in disguise.
The big one here is Dustin Keller, whose salary could potentially increase by over $3m and although he was a disappointment in some circles, I'd imagine his statistical production would have been strong enough to earn him this in full. Mike DeVito had a possible $2.5m escalator which he may or may not have triggered, given that he missed a few games with his knee injury. Kyle Wilson looks set to earn a roster bonus of just over $1m and Mark Sanchez is likely to have earned $750K, unless they removed that from his contract on the last restructuring. Bearing in mind there's a lot of speculation involved, let's call it an extra $6m of cap commitments, putting the Jets back into the red before any moves have been made.
You may wonder why the Jets preserved so much cap space and elected to go with low cap hits in 2011 instead of structuring the deals so they had higher cap hits in 2011 and keeping their 2012 cap commitments down to a more manageable number, but without the cap room to carry over. In the grand scheme of things, I don't suppose it makes a great deal of difference, but I'd suggest it was all about flexibility. Doing things that way could have (a) enabled them to make a panic trade (and cross the cap consequences bridge when they got to it) if they felt they were a contender and one presented itself, (b) enables them to clear more cap space in the event that they trade any of the newly-signed players in 2012 and (c) gives them surplus cap room at the end of the year so they can take on a dead money hit by cutting a player at that point.
Whether (a) might have been a possibility for an offensive lineman is a debate for another day, but the Jets obviously decided they would sink or swim with the depth they had at the point they opted to put Rob Turner on IR. The most likely way (b) would have been an issue is if Kyle Wilson had blossomed in his second season and made Antonio Cromartie surplus to requirements. Finally, (c) is still a major consideration they have now, as I'm just about to get into.
The Santonio Holmes Dilemma
Based on the figures we've seen so far, it's becoming increasingly clear how damaging it would be to get rid of Santonio Holmes and take on a big dead money cap hit in the process. While it was smart of the Jets to include off-set language in his contract, potentially limiting the damage to their cap, some of the relief may be deferred until a later year, depending on how his new team structures his contract.
If they do decide to cut him, it would likely be before the end of the current league year, because the guarantee for his 2013 salary crystallizes on the second day of the league year in mid-February. This will give rise to a cap hit that wipes out nearly all of the $8.3m estimated 2011 cap space instead of enabling them to roll it over to 2012, although they would receive cap credits based on whatever his new team paid him in terms of guaranteed money (and in respect of any non-guaranteed money as and when it was paid).
Trading him would be a preferable option, because then the cap relief would be immediate and their only dead money would be based on bonus money that hasn't yet hit the cap (about $5m). However, you'd need to find a team willing to take on his current contract and all the guarantees attached.
If they decided to keep him, I think it's clear that Holmes doesn't feel last year's drop in production is his fault, so that would make it very different to get him to agree to a pay cut. However, it's not impossible they could convert most of his guaranteed salary for 2012 into bonus money and spread the cap hits over the remainder of his contract to create some more cap room ($4m or thereabouts) in 2012. This would be a very risky move because it might make it more problematic to move him in a future year if the problems that manifested themselves at the end of this year resurfaced again.
Needless to say, however they decide to proceed with the Santonio Holmes situation has a significant impact on their cap situation and while a clean break might be advisable, the decision isn't as easy as it would be in a year where they had much greater cap flexibility and/or fewer needs.
Getting Under the Cap
As always, there are plenty of options for reducing 2012 cap charges, either by cutting people, trading them, getting them to agree to a paycut or restructuring their contract.
The most obvious pairing are the much maligned Eric Smith and Wayne Hunter. The front office was criticized for giving each of these a multi-year contract in the offseason, but they at least structured each deal in such a way as to enable the Jets to easily get out of the deals at the end of the first year if they did not perform at the level of a competent NFL starter.
Cutting both would immediately free up $4.5m of cap room. Maybe they will opt to retain one or other of them on a minimum salary deal, but that would still create a saving of about $4m.
After that, the decisions start to get tougher. Brandon Moore could save them $3m if he was cut, but he had a solid season in 2011, although he was limited by his hip injury. They'd need to determine how badly the hip and age in general would limit him going forward, because letting him go would create a hole and I can't really imagine him taking a paycut when he's only slated to earn $3m in 2012.
Mike DeVito missed a couple of games with a knee injury in 2011 and – although defensive line depth was one of the strengths of the team – they did miss him in the run defense when he was out, although he did struggle at times once he returned. Cutting him could create a saving of almost $3m, but would again leave a hole in the starting lineup. If he did earn his escalator in full, that would mean he was set to earn $5m in 2012, which seems high, so I could imagine them renegotiating it back down to something like his pre-escalator amount ($2.5m).
Mark Sanchez hasn't developed as fast as the Jets hoped, according to Mike Tannenbaum, so it's quite possible he could be asked to take a paycut. He's due to earn $12m and said he was amenable to restructuring his deal last year (although that doesn't mean he and his agent would be prepared to leave money on the table). In theory, the Jets could threaten Sanchez with his release because they would make a cap saving of over $9m. Surely they can make some kind of compromise to create $3-5m in cap room, even if it means Sanchez has the chance to earn that money back by reaching certain performance incentives.
Other than those mentioned above, the only players on the roster with a potential cap saving of over $1m if cut/traded are Dustin Keller and Ropati Pitoitua. Keller will be in his contract year and could even represent trade bait if he's not considered to be a fit for Tony Sparano's offense. It would seem harsh to offload Pitoitua after he was a solid rotation player in his first full season.
The likes of Bart Scott and Calvin Pace have come up in discussions as to potential cuts, but since both have guaranteed 2012 salaries, the Jets wouldn't create any cap room by releasing either of them, although they have offset language similar to the Holmes deal so once they got picked up by another team, that would hopefully wipe out the dead money arising.
In David Harris and D'Brickashaw Ferguson, the Jets have two players with high 2012 salaries that could potentially be restructured to create some cap room. This is always risky, because – as mentioned with Holmes earlier – it increases future cap charges which can make releasing the player later on more of a cap conundrum. Both are set to earn $10m or more in 2012, so you could perhaps approach them to seek a paycut, which seems feasible in Ferguson's case after a down-year, but less so for Harris, after the year ended with his head coach campaigning for him to make the Pro Bowl.
Instead, that salary could be re-badged as bonus money and the cap hits can be spread over the remainder of the contract. Jason believes that the Ferguson's deal is better for the Jets in terms of how easy it might be to restructure and how much leverage the Jets have, but Harris' deal was only four years, so perhaps they always had the possibility of adding another year in mind, or maybe he will continue to be accommodating as he has in the past. Jason was suggesting a $3-4m saving on Ferguson's deal would probably be easy to achieve, but a higher saving or an equivalent restructuring to Harris' deal might be more tricky.
If they were really desperate to create cap room, Antonio Cromartie is due to earn $7m in 2012 and they could maybe get him to allow them to bring down his cap number slightly if it meant he got more money upfront or more guarantees overall. There isn't much scope for a saving of more than about $1-2m though.
Finally, Darrelle Revis will be in a contract year in 2013 assuming he doesn't hold out, so the Jets might look to extend his deal now that they are freed from the restrictions of the final eight plan and the uncapped year. It's possible they could structure such a deal in order to create cap room of up to about $5m in 2012, but that would mean increasing his future cap charges. However, Nnamdi Asomugha's deal and subsequent lack of impact has settled down the cornerback market somewhat, so perhaps the Jets will eventually end up being able to lock him up for the sort of money they were already budgeting for during the negotiation in 2010.
That's a lot of information to take in, but basically the Jets have cap-room saving options ranging from no-brainers (Smith, Hunter, Ferguson, Sanchez = about $12m) to risky propositions (Harris, Revis, Cromartie = about $10m) to moves that could be more counter-productive (DeVito, Moore, Keller, Scott, Pace = about $7m). And then there's Holmes, who is a category unto himself (anything ranging from a $12.5m cap hit to a $4m short-term saving).
Needs Analysis
You can be pretty sure the Jets are going to weigh up their options (most of which were mentioned above) and make the necessary moves to leave themselves with what they will consider to be enough money to meet all their needs. So, how much money will they actually need?
First of all, you need to consider the cost of locking up your own free agents. Bassett did a fine job of summarizing the Jets free agents here, here and here. The general consensus amongst you lot was that they should bring back most of the ERFA's and RFA's at a low cost and that the only UFA worth spending significant money on was Pouha.
Jason looked at the likely cost of retaining Pouha here and arrived at a three year, $13.65m deal based on the current market for nose tackles. The article was written in November though, before his strong finish to the season, so perhaps that deserves to be bumped upwards by 10-20%. They could still probably do that deal with a cap figure as low as $2m in the first year, but it could be as high as $3.5m or thereabouts.
Depending on which ones they decide to retain, the Jets' other free agents will likely not cost very much more than the minimum. Plaxico Burress earned just over $3m in 2011, but even if they brought him back for that much, I can't see anyone else getting that kind of money. Bryan Thomas could perhaps earn about half that much, but I'd expect the Jets to offer him little more than the minimum. Hopefully he still feels guilty about mailing in the 2007 season. Jim Leonhard and Brodney Pool are probably in a similar boat. Even if they did decide to bring a lot of their free agents back, I'd expect (and hope) the total cost would be closer to $5m than $10m.
One other thing they will have to earmark some of those funds for is the rookie cap. With up to 12 draft picks to be signed, you'd expect that to be pretty high, but over half of those picks will be in the sixth round or later, so basically earning a minimum salary. Even if all 12 made the team, the additional 2012 cap space required to fit them in (after off-loading 12 veterans presumably also earning the minimum to make room on the roster) would likely not exceed $3m.
Either way, it doesn't look likely to leave them with much in the way of left over cap space to sign impact free agents, unless they dig greedily into the risky proposition pot from those cap-saving options detailed earlier on. However, the Jets proved in 2011 that you don't necessarily need a ton of current year cap room to make a big signing. Holmes, Cromartie and Harris were signed to deals totalling a maximum of $113m but they were structured in such a way that the initial cap hit was only just over $3m on average.
Therefore, the Jets may only need to find $5-10m of cap room to make a couple of big free agent signings, or $3-5m to make a couple of modest ones. The good news is that in 2013 the cap should go up and the Jets' current cap commitments are only $112m and you can probably reduce this to $85m once you omit players unlikely to still be on the team then, so they do have the scope to add salary in future years.
I think the draft is going to be crucial this year in terms of re-tooling the roster and I expect the Jets will also hoping for increased contributions from people like Josh Mauga, Jeff Cumberland and Jeremy Kerley next year. I think that was always the plan, but the way the season ended will force the Jets to scramble somewhat.
The Jets have retained some flexibility to create cap room where required, so are unlikely to find themselves in a situation where they are forced to unload talent just to comply with the cap. However, expectations of a big spending spree do need to be tempered. The Jets knew they would need that unused 2011 cap room in 2012 – they just expected to need it to retain what they expected to be a contending team rather than to have to re-tool the roster.
This offseason presents another big challenge for the front office after they had to work around the final eight plan and a lockout-shortened off-season with multiple marquee free agents that couldn't be signed before the lockout due to the 30% rule and relocation relief provisions. It doesn't rain, it pours. I'm just glad I have the comparatively easy job of summarizing the situation rather than actually being responsible for the tough decisions that lie ahead.
We will do our best to keep you up-to-date with the cap situation as much as possible over the coming months. As always, thanks to Jason for his input into this article.

Comments about Marmot Cirque 3-1 Glove (Women's):
Great gloves. The Glove and inner liner glove are both very high quality and both are nice stand alone gloves. The outer glove fits my hand perfectly without the liner (with no extra to spare) but with the liner its almost too small. The fingers on the liner are very short (so they will fit in the glove right). You might want to consider going up a size if you really want to use the gloves with the liner. You really don't need the liner though, the outer glove is thick and warm as it is, and will work fine by itself. I got the Medium, my hand is 7.25" so was between sizes and went with the bigger size, I'm glad I did, because smaller would not have fit at all.

The Wellington City Council has decided to finance an engineering study of the costs and benefits of establishing and running its own culinary water treatment system.
The city will add $5,000 to a $15,000 grant it has received to pay for the research and an environmental assessment.
Johansen and Tuttle is the engineering firm that will perform the study.
Mayor Ben Blackburn said the city has enough water shares to serve the city.
The most likely site is beside an existing water tank in the city.
Blackburn said the plant would not have to be large, but it would be a small, state-of-the-art facility adequate for the city's needs.
Wellington now gets its treated water from the Price River Water Improvement District.

It is with dismay that I note that the local little leagues scheduled their regular season play to just the month of May and the leagues began selecting all-star teams in early June.
This is contrary to the concept of little league baseball as conceived by a man in Williamsport, Pa. just prior to World War II. In promoting little league baseball, he looked upon it as a means of introducing youngsters, in the small towns and neighborhoods, 12 years of age or younger, to the fundamentals of the game. The goal of the program should be to keep all the players playing baseball most of the summer rather a select few.
Baseball is a summer game and should not end for many before the summer season is upon us. The distinct disadvantage of being involved in a nation wide organization of little league baseball is the long and extended season for all-star play of the organization, This necessitates the early selection of all-star teams to compete. The result, the ending of baseball activity for the many unfortunate enough not to qualify for the all-star teams of the various leagues long before summer begins.

A represenative of the champions came to Price on Tuesday and they brought with them all the hype and glory that a winning team can have.
REAL Salt Lake fan relations Joseph Allen and Leonardo the Lion, the team mascot, showed up on cue and brought the championship trophy with them.
The crowd consisted of fourth and six graders from around the county's elementary schools and they were loud as they cheered on the mascot and some of their teachers who came out to run some soccer drills with team officials.
Music and a video made up the rest of the program as everyone had a good time celebrating, and thinking about the upcoming season.

This is the history and genesis of Nigerian newspaper , it is very important to note what Nigerian newspaper itself means. Nigerian Newspaper is a part of one of the means of Nigerian mass communication – the Nigerian newspaper of the press. Nigerian Printed newspaper usually distributed weekly or daily in the form of a folded book of papers. The publication is typically sectioned off based on subject and content. The most important or interesting Nigerian news will be displayed on the front page of the publication. Nigerian Newspapers may also include advertisements news, opinions news, entertainment news and other general interest nigerian news. Some of the most popular Nigerian newspapers are the Wall Street Journal newspaper, the Washington Post newspaper, and the New York Times newspaper. A Nigerian newspaper is a scheduled publication containing Nigerian news of current events, informative news, diverse features, editorials news, and advertising news. It usually is printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade Nigerian newspaper such as newsprint. By 2007, there were 6580 daily Nigerian newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day. The worldwide recession of 2008, combined with the rapid growth of Nigerian newspaper website alternatives, caused a serious decline in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched operations. General-interest Nigerian newspapers typically publish stories on local and national political newsevents and Nigerian personalities, Nigerian crime news, Nigerian business news, Nigerian entertainment news, Nigerian society and sportsnews . Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor and columns that express the personal opinions of writers. The newspaper is typically funded by paid subscriptions and advertising. A wide variety of material has been published in Nigerian newspapers, including Nigerian editorial news, Nigerian opinions news, criticism, persuasion and op-eds; obituaries; Nigerian entertainment news features such as crosswords news, sudoku and horoscopes; Nigerian weather news and forecasts; advice, food and other columns; reviews of radio, movies, television, plays and restaurants; classified ads; display ads, radio and television listings, inserts from local merchants, editorial cartoons, gag cartoons and comic strips However, the history of print media, press or Nigerian newspaper in Nigeria can not be traced without deep reference to its major root which has an often-dramatic chapter of the human experience going back some five centuries. In Renaissance Europe handwritten Nigerian newsletters circulated privately among merchants, passing along information about everything from wars and economic conditions to social customs and human-interest features. The first printed forerunners of the Nigerian newspaper appeared in Germany in the late 1400 in the form of news pamphlets or broadsides, often highly sensationalized in content. Some of the most famous of these report the atrocities against Germans in Transylvania perpetrated by a sadistic veovod named Vlad Tsepes Drakul, who became the Count Dracula of later folklore. In the English-speaking world, the earliest predecessors of the Nigerian newspaper were corantos, small news pamphlets produced only when some event worthy of notice occurred. The first successively published title was The Weekly Nigerian News of 1622. It was followed in the 1640 and 1650 by a plethora of different titles in the similar Nigerian news paper format. The first true Nigeriannewspaper in English was the London Gazette of 1666. For a generation it was the only officially sanctioned Nigeria newspapers, though many periodical titles were in print by the century end. The beginning of Nigerian newspapers in America In America the first Nigerian newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690, entitled Public Occurrences. Published without authority, it was immediately suppressed, its publisher arrested, and all copies were destroyed. Indeed, it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only known surviving example was discovered in the British Library. The first successful Nigerian news paper was the Boston Nigerian News Letter, begun by postmaster John Campbell in 1704. Although it was heavily subsidized by the colonial government the experiment was a near-failure, with very limited circulation. Two more papers made their appearance in the 1720, in Philadelphia and New York, and the Fourth Estate slowly became established on the Nigerian news continent. By the eve of the Revolutionary War, some two dozen Nigerian news papers were issued at all the colonies, although Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years. Articles in colonial papers, brilliantly conceived by revolutionary propagandists, were a major force that influenced public opinion in America from reconciliation with England to full political independence. At wars end in 1783 there were forty-three Nigerian news papers in print. The press played a vital role in the affairs of the new nation; many more Nigerian newspapers were started, representing all shades of Nigerian political opinion news. The no holds barred style of early journalism, much of it libelous by modern standards, reflected the rough and tumble political life of the republic as rival factions jostled for power. The ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791 at last guaranteed of freedom of the press, and America newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs. Growth continued in every state. By 1814 there were 346 newspapers. In the Jacksonian populist 1830, advances in printing and papermaking technology led to an explosion of Nigeria newspaper growth, the emergence of the Penny-Press; it was now possible to produce Nigeria newspapers that could be sold for just a cent a copy. Previously, Nigerian newspapers were the province of the wealthy, literate minority. The price of a year subscription, usually over a full week pay for a laborer, had to be paid in full and invariably in advance. This sudden availability of cheap, interesting reading material was a significant stimulus to the achievement of the nearly universal literacy now taken for granted in America. The Nigerian newspaper vending machine. A common measure of a Nigerian newspaper health is market penetration, expressed as a percentage of households that receive a copy of the newspaper against the total number of households in the paper market area. In the 1920s, on a national basis in the U.S., Nigerian daily newspapers achieved market penetration of 123 percent (meaning the average U.S. household received 1.23 newspapers). As other media began to compete with Nigeria newspapers, and as printing became easier and less expensive giving rise to a greater diversity of publications, market penetration began to decline. It wasn't until the early 1970s, however, that market penetration dipped below 100 percent. By 2000, it was 53 percent. The portion of the Nigerian newspaper that is not advertising is called Nigerian editorial content, Nigeria editorial matter, or simply editorial, although the last term is also used to refer specifically to those articles in which the newspaper and its guest writers express their opinions. (This distinction, however, developed over time – early publishers like Girardin (France) and Zang (Austria) did not always distinguish paid items from editorial content.) The business model of having advertising subsidize the cost of printing and distributing Nigeria newspapers (and, it is always hoped, the making of a profit) rather than having subscribers cover the full cost was first done, it seems, in 1833 by The Sun, a Nigerian daily news paper that was published in New York City. Rather than charging 6 cents per copy, the price of a typical New York daily at the time, they charged 1 cent, and depended on advertising to make up the difference. Nigerian Newspapers in countries with easy access to the Nigerian new paper website have been hurt by the decline of many traditional advertisers. Department stores and supermarkets could be relied upon in the past to buy pages of Nigerian newspaper advertisements, but due to industry consolidation are much less likely to do so now. Additionally, Nigerian newspapers are seeing traditional advertisers shift to new media platforms. The classified category is shifting to sites including Craigslist, employment websites, and auto sites. National advertisers are shifting to many types of digital content including Nigerian newspaper websites, rich media platforms, and mobile. In recent years, the Nigerian advertorial emerged. Advertorials are most commonly recognized as an opposite-editorial which third-parties pay a fee to have included in the Nigerian new paper. Nigerian Advertorials commonly advertise new products or techniques, such as a new design for golf equipment, a new form of laser surgery, or weight-loss drugs. The tone is usually closer to that of a press release than of an objective news story The Nigerian News paper industrial revolution The industrial revolution, as it transformed all aspects of Nigerian life and society, dramatically affected newspapers. Both the numbers of papers and their paid circulations continued to rise. The 1850 census catalogued 2,526 titles. In the 1850 powerful, giant presses appeared, able to print ten thousand complete papers per hour. At this time the first "pictorial" weekly newspapers emerged; they featured for the first time extensive illustrations of events in the news, as woodcut engravings made from correspondents sketches or taken from that new invention, the photograph. During the Civil War the unprecedented demand for timely, accurate news reporting transformed American journalism into a dynamic, hardhitting force in the national life. Reporters, called specials, became the darlings of the public and the idols of youngsters everywhere. Many accounts of battles turned in by these intrepid adventurers stand today as the definitive histories of their subjects. Nigerian Newspaper growth continued unabated in the postwar years. An astounding 11,314 different papers were recorded in the 1880 census. By the 1890 the first circulation figures of a million copies per issue were recorded (ironically, these Nigeria news papers are now quite rare due to the atrocious quality of cheap Nigerian newapaper then in use, and to great losses in World War II era paper drives) At this period appeared the features of the modern Nigerian news paper, bold "banner" headlines, extensive use of illustrations, funny pages, plus expanded coverage of organized sporting events. The rise of Nigerian yellow journalism also marks this era. Hearst could truthfully boast that his Nigerian newspapers manufactured the public clamor for war on Spain in 1898. This is also the age of media consolidation, as many independent Nigerian newspapers were swallowed up into powerful "chains"; with regrettable consequences for a once fearless and incorruptible press, many were reduced to vehicles for the distribution of the particular views of their owners, and so remained, without competing papers to challenge their viewpoints. By the 1910, all the essential features of the recognizably modern newspaper had emerged. In our time, Nigerian radio and television have gradually supplanted Nigerian newspapers as the nation primary information sources, so it may be difficult initially to appreciate the role that newspapers have played in our history. The evolution of Nigerian newspaper in Nigeria The history of newspapers in Nigeria goes far back as the 1840s when European missionaries established Nigerian community newspapers to propagate Christianity. This initiative later gave rise to the establishment of Nigerian newspaper outfits by the likes of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe in 1937. Titled West African Pilot, Zik's paper pioneered a general protest against the British colonial rule and resulted to the eventual attainment of independence in 1960. This powerful influence manifested by the Nigerian newspaper led to the establishment of many Nigerian news papers especially in the 1960s. The New Nigerian Newspaper Limited, with its head office along Ahmadu Bello Way, Kaduna, was established by the then government of the Northern Region on 23rd October, 1964. The first copies of the Nigerian newspaper were issued on January 1st 1966. Its initial name was Northern Nigerian Newspapers Limited. But when states were created out of the regions in 1964 it was changed to New Nigerian Newspapers Limited as it is known today. Before the establishment of the New Nigerian Newspapers, the Northern Nigerian Government had established a Hausa language Nigerian newspaper in Zaria called Gaskiya Ta Fi Kwabo in 1936. And within the stable of Gaskiya Corporation, printer of the Nigerian newspaper, an English language vision, Nigerian Citizen emerged in 1965. Then a few months later (in 1966) its name was changed to New Nigerian and the headquarters relocated to Kaduna where it is now based. In March, 1973, the Nigerian company set up the southern plant (printing machine) alongside the one in Kaduna. The simultaneous printing of the Nigerian newspaper in both Kaduna and Lagos enhanced a wide circulation of the Nigerian newspaper. When the Northern Region was divided into six states through the creation of 12 states by the Federal Government in July 1967, the ownership and management of the company was transferred to the Northern states, managed by the Interim Common Services Agency (ICSA). Then later the Nigerian company was fully taken over by the Federal Government in August 1975 and placed under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Information. It was handed back to the Northern states in 2006. Hence, it is currently owned and controlled by the 19 states. At present, the company has four titles in its stable: New Nigerian, (daily newspaper) Gaskiya Tafi Kwabo (Hausa publication, published every Monday and Thursday) New Nigerian newspaper On Sunday and New Nigerian Weekly (published on Saturdays). New Nigerian newspaper was first published on 1st January 1966, Gaskiya Tafi Kwabo came on board on 1st January 1936, New Nigerian On Sunday was set up on 24th May, 1981 and New Nigerian weekly was established on February 21st, 1998. The company operates a commercial/stationery printing department which undertakes printing jobs of various types and produces high quality exercise books and other stationery. In order to consolidate its economic base, the company went into property development projects in 1977 with the construction of Imam House (named after the first indigenous Editor of Gaskiya Ta Fi Kwabo, Abubakar Imam) and the multi-storey building known as Nagwamatse House, presently housing Unity Bank, AIT station, Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, etc. This is in addition to the senior staff quarters at Isa Kaita and Malali Village, respectively. (c) Sumaila Umaisha. Meanwhile, the anti-colonialist tone of pre-independence Nigerian newspaper press gave way to heady euphoria as the Union Jack was lowered on October 1, 1960. The era of the nationalist press was coming to an end and the challenges that lay ahead was envisaged but not sufficiently grappled with; what mattered was the moment. The British were leaving; Nigeria had become a self- governing nation. The enemy had been forced to give in; the search for new enemies was on, although not many thought of this struggle in those terms. Sapara Williams prediction in 1909, that hypersensitive officials may come tomorrow who will see sedition in every criticism, and crime in every mass meeting made in response to that years enactment by the Nigerian colonial administration of the Seditious Offences Ordinance was apparently a distant memory and a relic of the past. The target of much of the activities of the local press had been removed; this was now a government of the people. The struggle of adjustment to the new realities, shifting from familiar shrill calls for self-government to the vista that called for concerted effort at nation-building, presented new and unfamiliar challenges. It was, for the press, an uncharted territory that, in traversing it, naturally took a toll on the newspapers. The natives' battle for self-determination had been won, but where to channel all the power still in the hand of the press, had become a new battle in itself. As the former chairman and managing director of the Daily Times of Nigeria, Dr Babatunde Jose, the late doyen of the Nigerian newspaper press reminisced to a gathering of the Royal African Society in April 1975, barely three months before the Nigerian government announced it was taking over control of the Nigerian newspaper establishment: In the name of press freedom and nationalism, we deliberately wrote seditious and criminally libelous articles against colonial governments. The local leaders who took over from the British were however wary of the press, and so not as tolerant, as we shall see shortly. Following independence and the crises of adjustment that accompanied it, those that witnessed the struggles of newspaper and survived to tell the story were thinning out. The survivors were a mix of the private press and government mouthpieces, and included the West African Pilot of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, founded in 1937; the Daily Times, which began publishing with the technical assistance of the Mirror Group of London; the Nigerian Citizen, published by the Zaria-based Gaskiya Corporation, and which would later become, in 1966 the New Nigerian nespaper and a powerful Northern organ operating out of its headquarters in Kaduna; the Daily Express, which was the result of a partnership between Roy Thompson of Great Britain and an amalgam of the Nigerian Tribune newspaper and the Daily Service newspaper; the Nigerian Outlook newspaper: and the Nigerian Tribune newspaper, mouthpiece of Chief Obafemi Awolowo Action Group party and staunch defender of Western Regional, particularly Yoruba, interests. The Federal Government in 1961 established its own Nigerian newspapers, the Morning Post and Sunday Post. It became clear, after the departure of the British and the country had become independent, that regionalism had become a potent force that militated against efforts to foster a more Nigerian national outlook among the various ethnic groups in Nigeria. The need for the Nigerian regional governments to assert their points of view through media they controlled became, to them, self-evident. Moreover, given recent experience, the Nigerian private press that was in business could scarcely be trusted by the new rulers to do their bidding. The roots of ethnic nationalism were being sown, and these would manifest in various struggles for self- identity, one of them being establishing Nigerian newspapers to project such identity considered inherent in these ethnic nationalities. The involvement of post-colonial administrations in Nigerian newspaper publishing began early after independence, with the Nigerian Federal Government launching its Post publications in 1961, determining that it needed such an organ in order to make its voice heard by the people. But the regional government saw it differently, as instrument of propaganda in the hand of Federal Government, at the time dominated by the Northern People Congress (NPC). At independence, there were three regions, North, East, and West, that constituted the Nigerian federation (it would not become a republic until 1963, when a fourth region, Mid- West, was also created). The history of the press since independence is a reflection of the political development of the country. The first biggest attempt by any government in Nigeria to set up a Nigerian newspaper was made by Northern Nigerian Government, with the establishment of Nigerian Gaskiya Corporation, with the Lieutenant Governor editing a Nigerian Hausa language news-sheet called Jaridar Nigeria Ta Arewa (Northern Provinces News). Gaskiya Tafi Kwabo made its debut in 1937 and, in 1948 began publishing the English language bi-weekly the Nigerian Citizen. It became a weekly later on. The NPC started the Nigerian Daily Mail newspaper in Kano in 1960; it went out of circulation in 1963. In the West, Chief Awolowo Action Group, with the Nigerian Tribune newspaper already under its control, used it to great political advantage, rallying the Western region. It was privately-owned. The regional government later set up its own mouthpiece, called The Nigerian Sketch. In the East, Azikiwe West African Pilot, although it had impressive national spread, often rivaling the equally privately owned Daily Times Nigeria, was the dominant organ there. The Nigerian regional government established its own Nigerian Outlook newpaper, which would later at onset of the Nigerian civil war, become Biafra Outlook newspaper. The Nigerian Citizen would later, in January 1966, become the New Nigerian newspaper to prove more than a match for the Outlook as the nation descended into chaos and civil war. Creation of states brought new opportunities for Nigerian state governments to float their own Nigerian newspapers, absolutely owned by them. There were The Triumph newspaper in Kano, Nigerian Observer newspaper in the old Bendel State of Nigeria (now Edo and Delta states); The Herald Kwara newspaper ; Nigeria Standard newspapser in Benue-Plateau (now Plateau, Benue and Nasarawa states); Nigerian Voice in Benue; Nigerian Daily Star newspaper in Enugu; Nigerian Statesman newspaper in Imo; Nigerian Tide newspaper in Rivers; Nigerian Chronicle Newspaper in Cross River; The Path newspaper in Sokoto, etc. Of these, only a couple, a handful at most, is in limited circulation today, making sporadic appearances. With the expansion of Nigerian political news activities and Nigerian advancements in literacy levels, investment in the development of private Nigerian newspaper press also increased. With the established ones like the Daily Times Nigeria already making considerable impact, business moguls like Chief MKO Abiola, who made a fortune as an executive in charge of the Middle East and Africa for the US conglomerate International Telephone and Telegraphs (ITT), spent considerable chunk of it to set the Nigerian Concord group newspaper, Nigerian National Concord Newpaper, Nigerian Sunday Concord newspaper, Nigerian African Concord newspaper (weekly magazine), and a chain of Nigerian Community Concord Newspaper in practically all the geopolitical zones in the country. With Abiola fatal foray into politics, the Concord group has long been rested. Chief Alex Ibru, another businessman established the Lagos- based The Guardian newspapers, complete with a Nigerian weekly magazine, which has since been rested. Both Nigerian publishing houses had brushes with the military government General Muhammadu Buhari then in power, which threw some of their senior editors in jail for breaching the law, Decree No. 4; this law was later repealed by another military administration, that of General Ibrahim Babangida. Before this, the infamous Amakiri Affair, in which a security aide to the military governor of Rivers State, Commander Alfred PD Spiff, ordered the head of the Port Harcourt correspondent of the Nigerian Observer, Mr Miniere Amakiri, to be shaved with blunt razor (other accounts said broken glass), and given twelve strokes of the cane and thrown into jail. His report in the Nigerian newspaper on a threatened strike by teachers had embarrassed the Nigerian governor, because it appeared on the governor, birthday, Such barbarities often commonplace under military regimes, have become rare occurrences, although their civilian successors sometimes maintain the draconian laws as warning they would not be averse to applying them. Even under the last civilian dispensation of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, security agents sealed off a couple of Nigerian newspaper houses because they published/broadcast material the government found disagreeable to it. It can thus be seen that the Nigerian newspaper in the last 50 years since independence witnessed tremendous challenges as it struggled to adjust to new realities. While the post-independence growth largely followed a trajectory laden with heavy doses of ethnic jingoism, political biases and sometimes crass tribalism, the enduring trend is not much different in intent; the form has changed to more sophisticated and nuanced method. The advent of modern methods of production and packaging the Nigerian news paper meant that such jingoism are not so obvious, but no less prevalent. This is happening in spite of the declining interest in government (direct) ownership of Nigeria newspapers, and the concomitant phenomenal increase in Nigerian news papers owned by private individuals and concerns. The last twenty years have seen the demise, resurrection, and demise of the Daily Times; The Telex, published in Zaria is now rested, so are the Democrat, a Kaduna-based broadsheet, and The Nigerian Reporter newspaper, also Kaduna-based. In their place, although not previously part of them, has risen the Nigerian Daily Trust Newspaper, flagship of the Nigerian Media Trust newspaper. The Nigerian Weekly Trust newspaper, previously based in Kaduna, has transformed into a major Nigerian newspaper that now also includes Nigerian Daily Trust newspaper, Nigerian Sunday Trust newspaper; a Hausa publication, Nigerian Aminiya Newspaper, Nigeria Tambari Nigerian, a Nigerian weekly fashion magazine; Kano Chronicle newspaper, a Nigerian community newspaper, and Kilimanjaro newspaper, an annual publication that coincides with the Nigerian Daily Trust Newspaper African of the Year awards. The Nigerian company has since moved it's corporate and operational headquarters to the nation's capital, Abuja. The Nigerian Vanguard newspaper and Punch newspaper have weathered many storms in their existence. Both have led the way in the improvement in the technical quality of newspaper production in Nigeria. The Nigerian National Interest Newspaper, an offshoot of This Day newspaper, is no longer in existence.

Working hard in life has its perks. Being presented with a lifetime achievement award is one of them.
Suda Merriman, 64, was honored with such an award from the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce during the Price City Council meeting on March 24 for her three decades of service to the city and the youth in the community.
Merriman, a native of Bangkok, Thailand, started working with Price City in 1980 and became a full-time employee three years later.
She was responsible for the flower pots in downtown Price, the city parks and provided the plants near city hall as well. In 2002, she was named employee of the year for Price City in 2002.
After growing up poor in Thailand, Merriman quickly learned that hard work can take a person far in life.
"I learned to never give up, keep fighting and work very hard," Merriman said. "And the United States gave me an opportunity in my life."
Mayor Joe Piccolo said he was glad to award someone like Merriman for her hard work and contribution to helping out with youth in the community.
"It's a privilege and an honor to award someone like Suda," Piccolo said. "It's great to be associated with people of that caliber and to see her be honored for her work with the community."
While Merriman is now officially retired, she doesn't plan to stop working. She is looking to continue spending time helping out with the youth here in Carbon County and would also like to go back to Thailand and help out there as well.
She wants to help provide the children in Thailand with basic supplies of clothing, school supplies and even building restrooms.
"Helping out the youth is what I would like to do for the rest of my life," Merriman said. "They are the future of the world. I want to show them that if you work hard and be honest, you can make it in life. I'm living proof of this."
Even though Merriman no longer works for the city, she is willing to help out whenever possible.
"I'll always be there for the city regardless if they need me or not," Merriman laughed.

CANTON SUNY Canton will lease land to a private company through its alumni association for the construction of a 200-bed student housing project.
The project, which was put forth by the College Council in September, was approved by the SUNY board of trustees last month.
Like the Grasse River housing project, this will be privately financed, said David M. Gerlach, vice president for advancement. For a number of years, there has not been an abundance of state resources for housing projects. This type of construction, that requires prevailing wages, is significantly more cost effective for student housing. It also enables us to get this project under way with relative ease since we just went through this process with our most recent residence hall construction.
Though the exact type of housing traditional dormitory, suite, townhouse or apartment has not yet been determined, SUNY Canton will lease 5.67 acres of land on the south end of campus to the SUNY Canton Alumni Association for 42 years. The association in turn will sublet the property to an affiliate of the Canton College Foundation named Adirondack Roo LLC.
The school used a similar process when constructing the recently opened 305-bed Grasse River Suites.
Although the project remains in the early stages, we are optimistic about building another new residence hall at SUNY Canton, interim President Carli C. Schiffner said. Our students are looking for more on-campus living options, especially when they reach their junior and senior years.
At the beginning of the fall semester, SUNY Canton appealed to property owners in the surrounding village to rent rooms and space to students. SUNY Cantons enrollment has ballooned.
In the past six years, SUNY Canton has seen a 48 percent growth in enrollment. The school has 3,800 students enrolled, but has space for only 1,350 of those students on campus and the school is feeling the crunch.
Although we recently added the Grasse River Suites Residence Hall, the demand is there to support another, Mr. Gerlach said. SUNY Canton has a high percentage of students in tripled rooms, and wed like to decrease that number while also providing students with additional on-campus options.
Across the village at St. Lawrence University, plans for a 150-bed dorm are under way.
Both schools hope to have their dorms complete for the 2014 fall semester.

Again European justice at its best, AF is not responsible???? It is very well known that Concorde's fuel tanks/wing design was bad. This accident was not isolated(at least one instance occured before this tragedy)and engineers recommanded many years before a solution to improve tanks protection. AF/BA did not implement the solution. The decision to remove the Concorde from active service was based on the cost/benefit of a complete redesign of the tanks/wing configuration. Reminds me of AF 447, it's not the airplane nor AF it's the pilots . . . The gvt owns AF, Airbus, CDG,the justice department, do you really believe you'll find the truth? Continental was the scape goat, 12 years have past AF is off the hook.
AF is no more responsible than CO. The fix was not made mandotory by EASA so AF and BA was under no obligation to do so. CO should be held accountable in some part as it was their A/C that was not maintained properly, the manslaughter charge was WAY over the top, but still CO should not be completely free and clear. AF, BAe, and the EASA should share part of the blame as well though, as both parties were allowing an A/C with a known unsafe condition to be operating.
If I read the story right, they did not get off scott free. This dropped the criminal charges but I believe it said there are several million dollars in civil suits pending.
Civil suits are completely separate by private parties and IMHO, they should not have to deal with that either, but i'm sure they will settle it out of court. I meant they should not get away without some sort of regulatory punishment.
Design flaws or not, this accident never would have happened if another airplane had not shed parts on the runway.
If we absolutely insist on assigning fault, would it not be the airport for their failure to maintain their runway in safe operating condition? It doesn't really seem to be negligence on anyone's part. Sometimes, sh*t happens.
You are 100% correct but in the halls of European justice, that is a government entity, and they couldn't possibly be in the wrong for anything.lol
IF a hoppy toad had wings, he wouldn't bust his butt on a rock trying to fly. Your statement is correct to that end but once it was laying on the runway it was no longer Continental's or whoever. It was a runway hazard and should have been removed. Much road Hazard damage across the country as you are driving has damaged unsuspecting driver's vehicles and many a NASCAR race has been lost by the leader hitting debris. NASCAR will call a caution and clean it up once they see it, but if you hit it before they see it, your bad luck.
A Hoppy Toad, preach on Preacherman!!!
My dear old Grandaddy, God rest his soul, use to say that all the time, and it felt appropriate to use here.lol
Hehehe. I wonder where the A&P is who signed off last. The French among others don't take responsibility for anything, and they call Americans arrogant. Where was the FOD patrol?
I wonder how many parts the sst "shed" over the years at IAD and BWI. You make it sound like the Continental bird was dropping parts every few feet. The airport authority is responsible for some of this. FOD is an airport problem even they recognize. Evidently no negligence was found with Continental AL and I'm glad. Lets blame the privately owned American carrier rather than the state owned French air line or the French government owned and operated airport. Where is your venom when it comes to AF 447. The government owned it all except for the pilots.
I should probably re-phrase that,but I think an operator has some responsibility in making sure on debris comes off the aircraft at any point in the flight. On the other hand the Concorde had a nasty reputation for exploding tires and one little strip should never bring down an airliner, so AF does have some responsibility to communicate that to the manufacturer and get the problem fixed.
SST Concord was due to go out of service rather than go to the expense of redesigning the wing and fuel tank. Does it alter the scenario that they decided to fly it a few last times before putting a flawed airplane out of service? Should it have been put out of service as unsafe? There is a responsibility to keep parts on the airplane, certainly, and I'm sure the owners and operators want to keep them all in place. After all, if they are there they are presumably needed for proper operation. But, neither man nor machine is infallible and FOD patrols were instituted to pick up the debris so turbines wouldn't vacuum them up. That says some responsibility is assumed by them too.
By your own logic and argument 6 posts up from this one, if the Concord had been put out of service because of its flawed design instead of flying it to the end of its schedule then, it wouldn't have been there to blow up.
To further clarify an earlier post, a friend of mine was on the road from here a couple of weeks ago in a motor home, pulling a trailer and it was at night. He hit a piece of pipe sticking into the travel lane. It flipped up, went down the side of the motorhome and stuck into the trailer. Strictly road hazard. No way to identify who owned or dropped the pipe. He is hung for the damage himself. You don't expect that driving down an interstate highway but it happens. You don't expect FOD on a runway but it happens. It might have blown a tire on any other aircraft as well but doubtful there would have been such catastrophic results. Several years ago, I hit something taking off from KATL in our 757, blew tire, got it confirmed from the ground and other than that, everything else was confirmed OK. At that point it was Captain's call. As it was early afternoon, I folded gear and came home. I held the weight off that side and ER vehicles were out but other than that, landing was normal
I'm still grinning over the " Hoppy Toad " thing :-) But yea, stuff happens with trains, automobiles and aeroplanes. I guess in this case we know the origin of the scrap iron, but to what avail. There are more than enough people who missed a step and are responsible. The French courts certainly don't deserve an award before the next of kin.
YES! YES!!!!!!!! finally some justice, i do not believe that Continental was responsible, and finally they are off the hook!
I agree that they are off the hook on the criminal charges and really should never have been there at all. As I read the story though there is still a multi million $ civil settlement they are hung with. Personally, even if the wear strip came off the Continental flight, nobody saw it come off, and it would be in the category of like a road hazard here; you hit it, it's your problem. Only in France and God Bless the lawyers.
The claim has always been that the repair to the Continental aircraft did not follow standards. I can't judge that, but it's the avowed claim.
That may be but once it was on the runway, it was no longer Continental's problem. There's that IF again.As Mark said in a post above here, Where was the FOD patrol?
And by the way, if something comes off your car, you darned well could be held civilly responsible for the consequences, depending on the circumstances. Criminal responsibility would be very unlikely in the US...
If it came off your car and right into another one, you are correct, BUT, if it was laying in the road and you hit it and tore up jack, you'd have a heck of a time proving where it came from. The only difference is that they were able to identify where this came from by departure records, but there was no actual sight of it falling.IMHO
If they had used duct tape like Air China instead of a titanium strip this never would have happened.
I lived in Paris for almost 20 years until 2011, and was there when this tragedy happened. I simply could not believe that the French (government) would actually try to put the blame on Continental, even though I had long been 'used' to their propensity to the buck and blame everyone else but themselves. I mean, even my French friends (the 'people') thought it utterly ridiculous - for example, what if the 'guilty' debris had actually fallen off another AF plane instead of Continental???!!
The French, in my estimation are short sighted as evidenced by the prime minister wanting all American off French soil, some years ago. They are as you say, fast to blame and slow to admit. Flight 447 must have put them between a rock and a hard place since they had to own up to AF and Airbus. The only ones left to blame were the dead guys from the front of the bus. As for Jetmech24 in a post below this one: I wouldn't expect a mandatory wing/tank design change on a government owned piece of equipment operated by that same government to be mandated by that same government.
While there was no criminal fault found and how could there be realistically since there was NO malice of forethought involved, but the fact remains the poor man who "glued" on the part that fell from the DC-10 will live imprisoned by his conscience for the rest of his life. That will be a far greater punishment than anything a court's judgement could ever impose on him. Sure it can be argued that the runway should have been inspected before the Concorde launched given it's vulnerabilities but that is after the fact. Sorry I meant to say NO malice of forethought

I don't pretend to know much about the court case or the French justice system, but it sounds like U. S. Law and proceedure is being applied to French courts. The only thing I know about the French is that while they are not always right they are never wrong and it's always someone else's fault. You're right about the A&E unless he is convinced the materials he used were faulty. That's a matter for his concience.
Why does every comment here have a thumbs downs after them, and not a single thumbs up? Are we really that displeased with what everyone says around here?
I just started noticing that yesterday afternoon myself John, and that was on one of the stories in NEW SQUAWKS. There are certain guys that, and they know who they are and FA could probably track them if the would, just go through the whole site tearing it up and polluting for all of us. FA had a good ide instigating the voting thing but either it's time has come or they are going to have to police it. I'll give you a thumbs up and yours just went to a 1 so if it changes, you'll know it got took away after 0530
You know what? After taking a closer look at it, I realized that I may have been mistaken. I'm used to YouTube and Yahoo comments where the thumbs up are green numbers, and the thumbs down are red numbers. Therefore, I was under the assumption that on FlightAware, every number was a thumbs down, since they're all colored red. In fact, I think it's just a net standing... positive numbers meaning the ups outweigh the downs... negative, the other way around. In this we have no real way of knowing how many of each there really are; just that the voting either tips the scale in one direction or the other. So my mistake and my apologies for what appears to be much ado about nothing.
Your not that far off and it's as I said they are out there messing aound. They should stay green as long as it's a positive number. It goes to red and thumbs down on a negative number.
My question is how long was the entire corporation going to be in jail after being found guilty of manslaughter in the first place. Do they round up every employee? Just the CEO? Do they lock up all the airplanes and airplane jail until they served their sentence? Do they execute the aircraft, or just the mechanics or pilots even?
LOL - how ridiculous
I am sure it was all just to extort money from the US based airline and nothing to do with justice, and as Patice Venne said "Euro justice at its best"....
What a world huh? :)
At least it was overturned before they started rounding everyone up :)~
Hey man. How is your back? Are you back to work yet?
Thanks for asking no I still have another surgery to do this one looks pretty nasty pretty much have to fuse my entire back from the base of my neck all the way to my hip.
That does sound kinda ugly. I'll toss up a prayer or two if you don't mid. Stay in touch. BTW, When are they going to do it.
Thank you for your prayer I'm not sure when surgery's going to be I hope it's going to be in the next six months or so I don't feel very good about it because it's pretty severe some kids do it when young and heal faster. but adults take a very long time to heal so this could be a big ordeal I'm not sure I saw this at the end of my flying career because I love it I really do
When the pain kick sent, are you absolutely berserk. I try to stay calm and smile and be nice but it's so hard with severe pain. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've had to apologize to people for going off on a rant over little issues.
Pain makes you act in a really bad way, I come across as being upset even when I'm trying my best to be friendly calm. It's really rough I just need to get better im oreally looking forward to surgery. In the meantime doctors don't like to prescribe pain medications and they are very frugal so basically living with constant severe pain. Just do a Google search for under treatment of pain in America, it's everywhere it's really nasty. in 98 OxyContin became available on the market and drug abusers in annex flocked to the pharmaceutical grade drugs. this caused the DEA to put pressure of doctors not prescribe too much medication and now there is a huge shortage of proper pain management in fact it's nearly impossible to find a doctor that will properly titrate medication as you should have, the way it has been done for millennia. People that are not currently in severe pain don't know what's going on in regards to pain medication, but when They get hurt or cancer will find out just how bad it really is is just not seen by many people at this time
But I digress
Today I had a CT scan at the hospital. I was able to look at the imagery on their computer before I left. that's when I saw that my ribs on the right side of my body were pushing up against my lung and I have lost between 1/3 to one half of the volume of my lungs because the curvature is so severe. This explains why if so bad when I take a deep breath.
Thank you for keeping me in your prayers, I've been praying to God every night since my accident, perhaps not praying to him for so long prior this is my punishment? Who knows? All I know is that I've got to fix this thing before I go insane and hurt everyone around me I don't like to be verbally abusive every time the pain spike.
And all of this from falling such a short distance while disconnecting the main battery on the piaggio p180. It feels ridiculous such severe injury for such a small fall but I do need some comfort in knowing I was not the only one to get injured while doing that specific task.
I apologize for not editing my response, I'm using voice recognition software so that sky compound all he cares see. I apologize for that but I just don't feel very well right now. Have a great day guys I'll talk to later.
I wouldn't speculate on it as punishment for the past but you definitely need to be sincerely leaning on him now. Seems as if you are there. A lot of things go thru our mind when we are down. Too few of us count our blessings when times are good. I will stay in this prayer chain with you.
I thought this was an A/C discussion. I must have taken a wrong turn
(Duplicate Squawk Submitted)
Continental Cleared of Crash Responsibility
A French court has ruled in favour of Continental and a mechanic in the Concorde crash.
Reposed was on yesterday
It happens. Sometimes my news is a few hours delayed due to time zones.
Does it matter so much if it was reposted?!
Yes - every time there's a repost, an angel gets demoted. (Can be offset by ringing a bell.)
Bong! Bong! Bong!
Interesting case. I don't like the European blame-game philosophy that somebody always has to pay, but at the same time you can't have an airplane shedding parts all over the runway for others to encounter. I think from now on, an airline should be warned that if you shed debris on a runway you will pay the price.
"you can't have an airplane shedding parts all over the runway"
It was ONE part, not "parts" and was not "all over the runway". Obviously CO has a great safety and maintenance record and they would never have done this intentionally. As you can imagine, this was bad for PR so of course they would have avoided it if they could. This wasn't a case of neglect, but rather a case of misfortune. It could happen to anybody...
If I was walking in the grocery store and dropped a can of beans that another guy tripped on, I would feel terrible, but hope that the guy wouldn't press criminal charges on me as it was an accident that I couldn't control.
My .02€
I was referring to a general case. I know that only one part came off, and I know that it didn't blanket the runway. I just think as the operator of an airline you are somewhat responsible for a part(s) falling off your property and onto a runway. Airport personnel can't see everything. Having said that, I also think that a little more attention should have been paid to the Concorde exploding tire problem. Running over a piece of debris on the runway should never lead to such a terrible disaster.
Wooa Cowboy ! Shedding parts all over the runway? That wouldn't be my description.
They don't INTENTIONALLY shed parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
