Thank you for this message. I feel that GOD sent me to this site today, so that I could hear this. I, like the little boy didnt get the message for a few minutes. When it hit me, I burst out crying. It is truly amazing that we wake up every day and say that we believe in GOD, but we can not believe that the LORD will provide for our every need, if only we believe that it will be given to us (faith the size of a mustard seed, consistently). Please continue to provide us with whatever the LORD leads you to share.Reply

Mr Tyler Perry. The love of a good man is it enough? Does a good man knows how to love his woman as the church? Being the good man is to love her. Christ died for his. Are you Tyler Perry willing to die for yours? If u willing to do that. Then, you got it! It's all yours. The man is to be the head. A woman can't submit to just any ole somebody. Where my rib come from? That's the man I'm to submit to. Cause he will know just what to do. And if u don't he knows who he can go to, which is the head of him. Where is your rib Tyler Perry? And what are you gonna do to have it to yourself? This I wanna know. I'm starting to see this is all for you. Cause its not as difficult as you think it is. It's just my requirement of you. Then & only then will I know you are ready to do what u are to do. If I have to do it myself then it right there will be a really really big problem. Real Talk! I have no ideal what u are thinking it is. Let me tell u, u are the only one holding up the process. Sometimes, I have to wonder, have u just settled for having like that for some unknown reason. Whatever it is, please get over it & over yourself. Will you please. I know it ain't easy. I been there before. You don't have to be. You'll find out it was nothing to fear. False evidence appearing real: fear! Where is my faithful. The man I love so dearly? Where is he & what have u done with him. Tell him, his woman needs him badly. Thank you.Reply

Denise Amber Lee left behind a husband and two young sons when 9-1-1 operators ignored a call from the kidnapped frantic woman herself.
"Please let me go."
And another call from a suspicious motorist.
"Something's going on."
Widower Nathan Lee and his family have spent the last two years working on the legislature to pass mandatory training for 9-1-1 operators in Florida.
"My wife was murdered and a 911 call that could have saved her life was not dispatched properly and that definitely would have saved her life," Lee said.
Lee got one step closer on Thursday when a Senate committee gave a thumbs-up after tearful testimony.
"911 communicators are the true first-responders to a citizen's plea for help," Nathan Lee said. "They cannot be the weakest link."
The issue of cost continues to come up, but it's getting less and less traction
Senate Sponsor Nancy Detert says most of the training is already taking place.
"What I'm saying is, the public is already paying for safety, they're just not getting it," Detert said.
The pain of for father of two has not gone away, and even if he is successful in Florida, he says he will push for national 9-1-1- training standards.
"A call to 911 that didn't get dispatched, it's just really hard to swallow," Lee said. "Even now that it's been two years, it's still really hard to deal with."
Nathan is continuing to walk the halls of the Capitol. Not taking his current momentum for granted and not resting until the legislation is on the governor's desk.
The bill still has to go through two more committees in the Senate and two more committees in the House.

AP IMPACT: Indian smoke shops are feeling the heat
NEW YORK After doing time for possession and an accidental killing, crack dealer Rodney Morrison decided he was finished with drugs. He threw himself a "retirement" party in 1993 and got into a new line of work: tax-free cigarettes.
It was a business operating in a gray area of the law, and the riches were enormous.
Within a decade, the smoke shop Morrison opened on Long Island's little Poospatuck Indian Reservation had become one of the state's biggest dealers in untaxed cigarettes. Other drug dealers soon took note and followed him into the business.
By 2007, one in every seven packs sold in New York state came from either Morrison's shop or three others on the reservation, all four managed by people with a history of drug dealing, The Associated Press found in a review of court and business records.
Those four stores sold 9.9 million cartons of cigarettes that year, or enough to supply every smoker in New York City with a pack a day for 3 1/2 months.
Now, it may all be going up in smoke for the cigarette kingpins of the Poospatuck reservation.
Dismayed by the lost tax revenue, New York City has waged a legal battle that could put shops like Morrison's out of business. This month, Poospatuck stores may have to begin collecting taxes for the first time because of a federal judge's ruling that untaxed sales to non-Indians are illegal.
Morrison, 42, is in deeper trouble. He could get up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 25 in a case in which federal prosecutors set out to blame him for a murder but wound up convicting him of illegally trafficking in cigarettes.
Other states have also struggled with the sale of untaxed cigarettes at reservation smoke shops, and federal prosecutors have filed smuggling charges in recent years against a few dealers in Idaho and Washington. But the cigarette trade on New York's reservations dwarfs the business in other states, with 304 million packs sold in 2007 alone.
The Poospatuck case is being watched closely. If the court decisions are applied to all reservation smoke shops statewide, they could doom a $6 billion-a-year business in Indian tobacco that now accounts for a third of New York's cigarette sales.
The Poospatuck reservation covers just 55 acres at the edge of a suburban neighborhood in the town of Mastic, about 60 miles from New York City. Fewer than 300 people live there. The centuries-old preserve of the Unkechaug tribe has long been impoverished, with many residents living in trailers.
It has about a dozen smoke shops in all, for one major reason: Indian sovereignty.
Because the state doesn't collect sales taxes on Indian land, cigarettes bought there can cost less than half of what they do in New York City, which has the nation's highest tobacco taxes. In the city, a carton of Marlboros costs about $95, including $42.50 in state and local taxes.
As a result, "buttleggers" – operating, investigators say, with the assistance of some store owners – buy large quantities of cigarettes on the reservation and resell them in the city at a big markup. Some of those packs wind up on the shelves of convenience stores and bodegas. Others are sold on the street by "$5 men."
"There's no difference between the cigarette business and the drug business. It's the same type of individuals involved," said Kyron Hodges, a former drug dealer from Brooklyn who joined legions of street hustlers transporting tax-free cigarettes from the Poospatuck reservation to the city. "I took all of my street knowledge and applied it to cigarettes."

Céspedes, Carlos Manuel de (1819–74, Cuban revolutionist)
Carlos Manuel de Céspedes (kär´lōs mänwĕl´ dā sā´spāŧħās), 1819–74, Cuban revolutionist. He completed his education in Spain and there took part (1843) in a revolution led by Juan Prim. On returning (1868) to Cuba he began the revolt by proclaiming the demands of Cuban liberals. The Ten Years War followed. He was elected president by the revolutionists (1869), but other leaders, notably Ignacio Agramonte, disagreed with him; discontent increased, and he was deposed (1873). He was killed in 1874, probably by Spanish soldiers.

I am a fellow BFer from the SF area. I will be visiting Seattle in July and would like to rent a tandem and take a ride. I will not have a way to transport the tandem, so the ride will need to start from the rental place. Target length would be about 25-35 miles, depending on the elevation gain (flatter is better, but 2000 or so feet of climbing would be OK).
Any tips or ideas?
Here are a few options I've figured out from my research:
There is a rental shop on San Juan Island that rents Burley tandems. http://www.islandbicycles.com/ I was thinking about taking the ferry and riding this route:
Would that be a nice ride? The bike shop also lists some shorter routes, like this one, so we could definitely play it by ear (http://www.islandbicycles.com/index....via-beaverton/).
The downside is that it sounds like it takes 3 hours to get there from Seattle (2 hours driving and an hour on the ferry). Is that right? How about once we are there- is it worth it? I like nice scenery and light traffic. My wife likes things to do along the way, especially foodie stuff (maybe a winery, a nice cheese shop, a gourmet/picnic lunch, etc.)
This place also rents tandems in Seattle:
Montlake Bicycle Shop
2223 24th Ave E.
Seattle, WA 98112
Other tandem rentals include Vashon Island and Woodinvale, so I could probably start from one of those locations as well.
Again, the idea route would be scenic, lightly traveled (we ride back roads in the Bay Area), and with one or two nice spots for wine, cheese, lunch, food, etc. (My wife is very big into all things related to wine and food.) This will be a weekday in July. We could also drive an hour or two to another rental location.
I would appreciate any advice or recommendations.

First, Chuck Todd talks about the battlegrounds. No surprise…the trends favor Obama.
And then…the bigger news: early voting.
Looks like Obama's ground game is really working.
One thing I would note about those places where Democrats and Republicans are neck and neck…Republicans ALWAYS dominate early voting across the country. So even if Dems are tied in some of these battlegrounds, that ultimately favors them.
More as it develops…

Experts say sludge applied to land in Menifee before 2004 does not pose a threat; no new reports of its application since then
The city of Menifee rolled out a number of experts, maps and documents to debunk sludge-related concerns before a full house at City Hall on Tuesday, with some residents walking away convinced that their city was safe to live in and others leaving as concerned as ever.
"You surrounded yourself with wonderful speakers who made sludge look like fairy dust," said Susan Rood, a local school teacher and cancer survivor who was among than more than a dozen residents to address the City Council after a nearly three-hour public workshop. " … I feel like you are trying to brush this away rather than deal with it. Your map is wrong."
Rood referred to maps posted in the lobby and in council chambers showing areas where sludge -- a mixture of human, household and industrial waste treated at a sewage plant -- was applied to land in Menifee before 2004, when Riverside County began regulating the use of a class of sludge that is treated to remove 99.9 percent of infectious agents.
Three years earlier, with a number of scientists and environmental experts reporting a connection between various cancers and other health problems with sludge, the county banned Class B sludge.
Regardless, David Crohn -- an associate professor of environmental science at UC Riverside who works closely with industry professionals -- said he saw no evidence that Menifee's history of sludge application has had an adverse effect on the land and the people who live there.
Among the reasons he said should ease residents' concerns, is there isn't enough application of sludge -- aka, biosolids -- to be concerned about the heavy metals it contains and the pathogens contained in the soil have died out since sludge was applied in the Menifee Valley between 1990 and 2004.
"What I can tell you is it's very, very, very unlikely that this would pose a threat," said Crohn, who holds a doctorate and master's in biology and agricultural engineering from Cornell University.
Crohn added that it would be very hard to link sludge's alleged affects to what a number of vocal residents have called developing cancer clusters in Menifee.
"It's hard to separate something causing something when there's a lot of background noise," said Crohn, noting that 41.2 percent of people develop cancer and 12.4 percent of women contract breast cancer. "It's very challenging. We don't have scientific power to make that determination when there are so many things that contribute to disease."
Either way, residents continued to call attention to the fact that Menifee hasn't had any environmental health services since opting against a contract with the county shortly after its 2008 incorporation.
Interim City Manager Rob Johnson said those services were not needed because no one had pulled a Class A sludge application since 2004 and because Menifee's contract with CalFire included environmental health services provided by the county in the event of hazardous spills or reports of illegal dumping of sludge.
Although police and fire officials in attendance said there have been no reports of illegal dumping called into their offices since incorporation, Councilman Tom Fuhrman suggested residents likely wouldn't even know what they were witnessing if they saw trucks driving through a field at night applying sludge as a fertilizer to their land.
For all they knew, they could be applying manure to those fields, Fuhrman said.
"The reason it hasn't been reported is John Q. Citizen doesn't know what's going on with a set of headlights in a field," Fuhrman said. "Nobody makes a determination late at night."
Pete Bouris, whose family farmed as much as 10,000 acres in and around the Menifee Valley, said his ranches opted against applying sludge to its fields to steer away from a controversy centered around residents' health. He added that sludge was not applied to land that his family farmed in the J-Barr and Mapleton communities near Scott Road.

The murder trial of the woman accused of killing veteran music exec Charlie Minor had been expected to get under way today in L.A. Superior Court. But a last minute plea-bargain has shelved Suzette McClure's murder trial, during which her attorney was planning to expose the seedy side of the record promotion business.Barring any complications with the deal, McClure is expected to be sentenced on May 19, thus avoiding a trial and closing the case after more than two years. McClure allegedly shot Minor — a successful, well-liked record promotion exec and former Giant Records prexy — to death on March 19, 1995, after an argument in Minor's Malibu home. She has been held without bail since her arrest just hours after the Sunday morning killing (Daily Variety, March 20, 1995). Attorney Vera Bradford had planned to argue that McClure was sucked into the fast-lane lifestyle of the music biz as part of a defense strategy that would have offered insight into McClure's state of mind at the time of the killing, a move designed to make her client sympathetic to the court. Bradford was also expected to emphasize the at-times unorthodox methods used by promotion execs in attempting to secure airplay for their artists' releases. She had planned to disclose how "strippers and prostitutes are used as bargaining chips in the music business," among her "bombshell" revelations. The killing of Minor sent shockwaves through the music industry. Not since the death of Creative Artists Agency booking agent Bobby Brooks in 1990 or concert promoter Bill Graham in 1991 had there been such a huge outpouring of emotion for a music industry exec.

Escape Clause in the Players Contracts?
Escape Clause, who has the final say - the player or selling club?
"Let's say that Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool had all offered Blackburn 16m and 5p for Jones. Who does he go to then? In Utd's eyes clearly the decision is left to Jones, and him alone.
But is a judge likely to see it this way? I sincerely doubt it. Firstly, Jones has a contract with Blackburn Rovers. He belongs to them and it is the club that will decide who to sell their asset to, no matter if Jones has had a medical, agreed his wage packet and engraved his name on a boot locker at OT.
The terminology on these contract-busting deals is also quite clear. Offering the required amount triggers the player's right to talk to interested parties. It's a negotiating point not a sealed deal.
Even more importantly, if there is more than one party interested in an asset, this constitutes a market and the club not only has every right to seek the best price, it has an OBLIGATION to do so for its owners and supporters alike.
Clearly Jones' contract may be broken by a 16m+ offer, but that isn't a closing price. If there are clubs willing to offer more than Utd then it is transparently a starting price.
In that case the Venkys have every right to pursue those offers or you could imagine the Department of Trade taking an interest in a clear restraint of trade.
Just imagine if you had this really cute dog that everyone was dying to take home. You might scream, 'no way in the world am I selling Fido. Well, if you gave me 16m I might.' If you had three suitors offering that price and more, would you really be happy to sell to the guy offering the least, just because he whipped out a juicy bone and tempted Fido to trot over?
I'm sure Blackburn would like Jones to be happy with where he's going, but that doesn't oblige them to shortchange themselves in order to please him and SAF.
These trigger deals are put in place by player agents who want the best of both worlds for their clients - long lucrative contracts, even if their man turns out to be crocked or plain useless, with escape routes if something better comes along.
But that doesn't alter the fundamentals of any market - you need the agreement of all interested parties to seal a deal and Blackburn would like a little more moolah, or they aren't signing.
If they don't want this to drag on over summer and possibly next season while the creaking wheels of justice grind over the matter, Utd will probably have to cough up another 3-4m to make the Venkys go away. "

Personally, I'm not too sure about release clause in contract, so what are your thoughts on this issue?

A major headache for United is in the interpretation of the release clause in Jones's contract. They triggered it with their £16.5m offer and were allowed to talk to the player as a result.
But Rovers have taken legal advice and insist the clause does not force them to sell to the first club to meet the figure.

JONES inserted the clause, not Blackburn, so it's unlikely to allow the club to sell him to who they want, especially as the player only goes where he chooses to go.
At the time he signed that contract extension he would have been worth around 5m at a push.
Eric Cantona Eric Cantona Jun 12, 2011 08:50 Flag
No one has ever said United were the first, or only club, to meet the figure. They are the only one that Jones seems to want to join.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jun 11, 2011 22:14 Flag
My point Devon, is the number of deals that are reported at the time of the deal being completed as undisclosed seems to be increasing. The press then seize on whatever numbers may have been floating around.
For example the Henderson deal has now be labeled as worth up to 20M, but its also been reported as reported as low as 16M, plus we don't know if N'Gog is inside or outside the deal as a makeweight or not. But as the press like the number 20, so that is the number that seems to presumed despite the club not disclosing. The same thing happened in our deal for Aquilani when it was labeled as 20M, when in fact company accounts showed the cost to the club being significantly less.
Now whether they should or should not be disclosed is a different story. As one poster said agents may try to muddy the water, and I then also added in some cases clubs may have good reasons to not let this information out. But end of the day, the usual watch word of don't believe everything you read in the press maybe appropriate.

Jim, a few on here do really seem to really dislike me, and never seem to waste any opportunity to let me and the rest of the board know that. However there are others on this board who do engage me in discussion, so should I just heed to the loudest and most foul mouthed or as I'd prefer allow those who don't like what I post ignore me, while those who do want to engage me in discussion don't have to wade through what to me look like childish shouts to "get lost".
No the childish one is you, faced with obvious contempt you keep on posting on this board. This is not a rant, merely pointing out to you how silly you are , wasting your time on here. Go away and do something productive with your time.

Jim, keep up the rants if you like, just think it makes you look a bit childish is all, especially as you obviously enjoy engaging in football discussion judging by your other posts.
As for him signing for Liverpool, to be honest neither he nor Henderson were on my radar screen, nor it seems when the news broke nor many mancs either. Would I like what looks to be one of England's better defenders for the next generation on our books instead of yours, or course, but I'm not heart broke about it either. I just thought it an interesting thread as so many of the locals think Blackburn are not playing by the rules, when I think we don't know the rules (the contract) so wanted to point that out.
You are a complete plonker aren't you, you just don't know when to stop typing.

Until you see the actual wording of the contract you have no idea what the clause is.
It may well say that an offer of 16m gives the player the right to leave for that price, to the club of his choice, regardless of any other offers, and that the club cannot ask for more.
If I were an agent, responsible for getting my client the best deal, that's exactly what it would say.
The only negotiation United should enter into should be based on appearances and results.

"Until you see the actual wording of the contract you have no idea what the clause is."
I totally agree on the above.
My disagreement with your post is basically I don't think any club will be so stupid to put a 'maximum' ceiling on the price of their player, especially on a potentially great asset for the club. To do so will be tantamount to shooting themselves in the foot.
I actually agree with Venky's, Rovers owners, on the way they read the escape clause meaning it's the minimum selling price if other clubs are willing to pay more for the player. Why should they sell at the least price if other buyers are involved in the transaction and 'willing' to more more? Either Man U strike a compromise deal higher than the price stated on the escape clause if other buyers are willing to go higher or the player stays put at the club if he refuses to go the other buyers willing to pay more than Man U. A fairer conclusion to all parties in my view.
Ps, thanks Butch for being considerate.

"If I were an agent, responsible for getting my client the best deal, that's exactly what it would say."?
buster.moove, I'm in agreement with dsteer on agents. Public perception is that all agents are greedy bastards who feed on (or off, if you like) their clients, they destroy ethics, hinder loyalty and are a barrier to common sense! They are part of the reason for spiralling transfer fees. They do not believe in transparency, preferring to mask deals under cloaks, in the process ensuring they get a nice little cut of whatever deals they broker. They perpetuate and exacerbate problems within football and have little regard to the football supporter whose money contributes to the riches in the modern game. Arguably, they take more out of the game than they give.
No one begrudges an agent a commission for work completed but it is not right that huge transfer fees do not give a breakdown of where the money is going! Every action should be showcased to the customer, they merit primary consideration.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jun 11, 2011 15:45 Flag
Actually if you were an agent you'd not be doing yourself any favors if that is how you'd write the escape clause. Agents get paid fees based on the value of the deals they negotiate. If you only want only a slice of a minimum transfer fee so be it, but most agents would like to maximize the transfer fee as that maximizes their own pay.
On this one I have no idea, and the comment unless any have read the contract personally, you have no idea what it actually says or demands. Therefore I'd not assume either way, including what many are saying just because its favorable to Man United. Blackburn's owners maybe trying to pull a fast one, but then again they should know the contracts with their own players better than anyone else, so they maybe trying to stop United doing a fast one.

"Venky's' football advisers are understood to be attempting to resolve the impasse by making it clear to the Indian owners that the clause, inserted into Jones's contract when he agreed an extension to his terms in February, enables a transfer to take place at the cost of the escape clause."
A Yahoo! User Jun 11, 2011 14:32 Flag
Most people would consider £16.5 million for an uncapped 19 year old to be more than a fair price and that is obviously what blackburn`s previous owners thought when they agreed to the clause. As I said I think the problem may have arisen because various people have been claiming Jones is worth more but they are basing their claims on the player they think he will eventually become rather than the player he is at the moment. They are not selling a Ferdinand or Terry just a player who if everything goes right could become as good as they are.

This Big House
Atrios lampoons the tendency of some to dismiss urban living as unsuitable for families on the grounds that the houses are too small. To put this in context, I think it's important to understand the historical trajectory of house size in America:
The average American house size has more than doubled since the 1950s; it now stands at 2,349 square feet. Whether it's a McMansion in a wealthy neighborhood, or a bigger, cheaper house in the exurbs, the move toward ever large homes has been accelerating for years.
And this understates the change since households have gotten smaller. Meanwhile, in part because it's been generally illegal to build new dense urban neighborhoods for decades, the vast majority of the housing stock in walkable urban neighborhoods is quite old. This means they often really are on the small side relative to the expectations of prosperous present-day people.
The increase in home sizes itself is an interesting phenomenon. Obviously in large part it simply reflects a higher standard of living. Richer country, richer world, bigger houses. But I don't think it's outlandish to posit that there's a certain element of a red queen's race about it as well. At a time when it was normal for middle class children to need a share a bedroom, parents whose kids shared a bedroom felt fine about themselves and the children all grew up fine. But it's very different to be the only kid in school who has to share a room with his brother, or be the only parents at the dinner party who don't own a house with more bedrooms than residents.
To an extent, though, that's simply life—the spirit of competition and the negative emotions of envy and spite aren't something we can eradicate. To an extent, however, the cycle of growing houses has boon boosted by a number of government policies that either intentionally or unintentionally encourage bigger and bigger houses. That starts with our very poorly targeted system of homeownership subsidies and it continues through land use regulations that often specify minimum home sizes, prohibit high density uses, etc. Such policies are not only economically inefficient, they're ecologically disastrous. The SUV has become the symbol par excellence of the unsustainable lifestyle but the more prosaic question of home size is arguably a bigger deal. When you double your square footage, you're substantially increasing the energy involved in heating or cooling your home and in most parts of the country those activities are a bigger contributor to climate change than anything transportation-related.

Spotify U.K. Reports Revenue Growth; Operating Losses Narrow Dramatically To $3.4 Million
Strong growth in subscriptions helped Spotify's U.K. operation generate £95.5 million ($154.9 million) in total revenue in 2011, up from £63.2 million ($102.5 million) the previous year, according to its latest financial statement, as reported in the Financial Times.
Billboard's FutureSound Conference, takes place November 15-16 in San Francisco. FutureSound will feature keynotes from the top minds in investment, technology and music today. Use Promo Code Biz 12 to save $50. Click HERE for more info.
Total revenues from subscriptions climbed from £45.1 million ($73.2 million) to £72.5 million ($117.6 million) for the 12-month period ending 31 December 2011. It should, however, be noted that these figures do not exclusively represent the U.K. business and include additional income from Spotify's European subsidiaries until the end of May 2011, after which the U.K. and European subscription revenues were separated, according to reports.
How Spotify and Rdio Are De-Socializing Music Streaming
Meanwhile, advertising revenue for Spotify's U.K. operation rose 24% to £22.4 million ($36.3 million) in 2011.
The company's operating losses consequently fell to £2.1 million ($3.4 million) from £26.5 million ($43 million) the previous year. Ad revenue accounted for 23.5% of all revenue in 2011, down from 2010 when it comprised 28.6% of overall revenue, according to Media Week.
Spotify's U.K. operation first launched in 2008 and offers two subscription price points to users - £4.99 ($8.10) for unlimited streaming and £9.99 ($16.22) for the premium mobile service. In line with other markets, it also runs a free ad-funded service, which accounts for the majority of its user base.
Spotify Preparing Browser-Based Version: Report
Earlier this month, Spotify U.K. managing director Chris Maples was promoted to the role of vice president of Europe. Spotify currently operates in 15 markets, including its native Sweden, Germany, Spain, Australia and the U.S., where it launched last summer following lengthy negotiations with labels and rights holders. According to an interview that founder and CEO Daniel EK gave to Swedish financial newspaper Dagens Industri in April this year, Spotify generated $250 million in total global revenue in 2011. The Stockholm-based company claims to have over 15 million active users worldwide and more than 4 million paying subscribers.
According to a recent report from Strategy Analytics, revenues generated by streaming services is predicted to grow by 40% globally in 2012.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Former Olympic gold medallist Ohuruogu, 29, is a double world champion but shuns the limelight relative to her contemporaries.
Instead the East Londoner prefers to visit local schools and colleges to promote sports among children – but that's not all she does, it emerged.
"She doesn't tell anyone but Chrissie pays for people to go training and to events. She's putting huge amounts back into the sport," Black was quoted as saying in the Daily Express.
"What's great is to see people like Chrissie supporting other athletes, both psychologically and out of her own pocket."
In keeping with her preference to remain private, Ohuruogu has stayed silent about her good deeds, refusing to reveal how much she spends.
But the Express claims she pays for promising young athletes to go warm-weather training.
The revelations come in stark contrast to her prickly behaviour with the media, with her guarded nature believed to result from criticism received for missing three drug tests between 2005-06.
Ohuruogu – who admitted she had been left exhausted by back-to-back Olympic and World Championship seasons – is stepping back from competition this year.
She is expected to skip the World Indoors in March, and has been tipped to miss one or both of the European Championships and the Commonwealth Games this summer.
"Chrissie will be having a more enjoyable, slightly less stressful, but very active year," added Black. "We won't be putting her under pressure to produce individual performances.
"Why would we? She wants to do that again in the future.
"Ohurougu will be a massive part of the relays and she'll decide whether she wants to do individual stuff and there won't be any pressure from us."

I'm planning a 5-week tour on my 1999 Gary Fisher Big Sur. I've done shorter tours with only a rear rack and panniers, but I'll need more packing room for this longer trip. I want to get a rack for the front but see no way of attaching one to my Judy XC Rock Shox. The right fork has no spot for a bolt. Has anyone come across this? Is my only solution to replace the fork?
Many thanks!
