As the summer arrives so too does the newspapers' obsession with Paul Pogba, the former Manchester United player now starring for Juventus and France.
The Daily Mirror says Manchester United "must" pay £78m if they want Pogba back at Old Trafford. The Mirror says news United manager Jose Mourinho wanted Pogba when he was at Chelsea last season. But Chelsea and Manchester City baulked at the £71m asking price.
The Sun spots the Premier League's "scramble" for Pogba. The clubs need not bother. The Sun says Pogba's "dream is to play in La Liga for Real Madrid or Barcelona". The Juventus player is "waiting on Spain's big two before making any decisions".
Not so says the Manchester Evening News's Rob Pollard: "Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Chelsea have all been linked with him in the last 18 months – but it seems the path has cleared somewhat and United are now clear favourites to land him."
So United will pay £78m? No, says the Express : "JOSE MOURINHO will offer Matteo Darmian as part of a deal to try and land Paul Pogba." The deal is Darmian plus £60m cash. So says the Express, which has also told its readers that Pogba has agreed to join PSG and Barcelona.
Such are the facts.

Dr Eva Carneiro turned to the courts when Chelsea failed to take a stand against her co-worker Jose Mourinho, who publicly humiliated her. Having rejected the club's offer of £1.2 million to shut up and go away, Dr Carneiro continued to sue for justice.
Yesterday she settled her dismissal claim against Chelsea on confidential terms. She had claimed constructive dismissal against Chelsea. In addition she reached a discrimination settlement against Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea said it apologised "unreservedly"for its treatment of its former first-team doctor.
"The club regrets the circumstances which led to Dr Carneiro leaving the club and apologises unreservedly to her and her family for the distress caused. We wish to place on record that in running onto the pitch Dr Carneiro was following both the rules of the game and fulfilling her responsibility to the players as a doctor, putting their safety first."
Mourinho, who denied calling the medic "daughter of a whore" (she alleged that he did) never issued a public apology. The Chelsea statement merely noted:
"Jose Mourinho also thanked Dr Carneiro for the excellent and dedicated support she provided as first team doctor and he wishes her a successful career."
But why should Jose says sorry? The Manchester United manager (£15m a year) remains good ol' Jose in the Mail, whereas the victim is a moody woman who got lucky:

Former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro is at an employment tribunal. Did former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho call her "daughter of a whore" who was only suited to working with the juniors or the "ladys [sic]"? Mourinho, now at Manchester United, might not care about the ruling. After all, the case hasn't prevented him from joining Manchester United.
The Times says Carneiro rejected an offer for £1.2m to settle out of court. She claims constructive dismissal against Chelsea. She also claims, in another case, that Mourinho targeted her for sexual discrimination.
You will recall, of course, how this nasty row started last August, when Mourinho, the then Chelsea boss, hurled abuse at Carneiro as she raced onto the pitch to treat Chelsea player Eden Hazard. Mourinho says he yelled "filho da puta" (son of a bitch). She says he yelled "filha da puta" (daughter of a bitch or daughter of a whore).
What Mourinho did say, after Carneiro was banished from the bench, was, "She works in academy team or lady [sic] team not with me."
Such are the facts.
And what of the reporting on alleged sexism in football? Well, the Star pretty much carries on regardless. An educated women in her early middle-age is a "girl doc":

Transfer balls: Manchester United want to invest £60m in Paul Pogba, the France and Juventus midfielder once on United's books. The Sun says Jose Mourinho has "sanctioned the bid".
The only things standing between United and Pogba are: Juventus trying to trigger a bidding war for their star player; Barcelona; United's failure to appear in next season's Champions' League; Barcelona; any other big team with pots of cash; Manchester City; the fact that the bid is actually £48m plus bonuses, which values him less than Manchester City paid for Raheem Sterling; and did we mention Barcelona?
On the plus side, the Sun "understands" that Pogba likes Mourinho and his plan to make United "great again".
Of course, we have read news of Pogba's movements before in the Sun. There was the time he was joining Chelsea:
CHELSEA have agreed a stunning £69million deal to sign Juventus' Paul Pogba. – August 2015
PAUL POGBA is ready to snub Manchester City and extrend his deal with Juventus. The Frenchman is wanted by a host of top clubs but would come with a huge £75million-plus price tag. – March 2016
Paul Pogba ready to snub Manchester United, Real Madrid and Manchester City as he aims to cement his legacy at Juventus – May 2016
CHELSEA are in constant contact with Juventus star Paul Pogba over a possible £76million transfer – May 2016
Manchester United target Paul Pogba 'buys house in Barcelona' as Jose Mourinho looks set to miss out on Juventus star – June, 2016
Such are the facts.

Transfer balls – a look at iffy reporting in the mainstream media. News is that Arsenal are still after Alvaro Morata.
The Mirror says "Arsenal and Chelsea could go head to head in the race to sign 23-year-old Juventus striker Alvaro Morata." So only two clubs are in for the striker. It is a head-to-head race.
The Mirror adds:
Alvaro Morata has sparked an auction between Arsenal and Chelsea after admitting he believes the Premier League would be a "great destination."
Or as the player wanted by PSG (source: The Mirror) and who has an agreement to re-sign for Real Madrid should they want him says:
"Hopefully everything will be resolved before then, because it is uncomfortable to be helping your country with phone in hand. My wish is to succeed in Madrid… There are some offers from England that are tempting, not only because of the contract. I think my characteristics mean the Premier League would be a great destination."
If Real don't want him, then maybe he'll look to the PL. It's a head-to-head-to-head race – and one club has a massive head. As Spain's AS put it:
Alvaro Morata wants a return to Real Madrid
In other news:
The Evening Standard and Manchester Evening News saysManchester United have added their head to the race – and United have a real bighead in charge:
And the Liverpool Echo say Liverpool want him:
Of course, Morata already plays for Arsenal. The Daily Star told us that:
Such are the facts.

What does new Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho smell like? The Star reports on "Chelsea's ban on Jose aftershave". In the changing room, yes. Unsettling for new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte to contend with the Portuguese winner's legacy without picking up his essence as John Terry splashes the masking Jose for Him and Her all over (spoiler alert: Revenge by Jose smells of top notes of silver polish over base notes of bile, pith and whicker basket).
This story turns to the essence not of Jose's scraped and diffused bed linen, rather to the story of who owns what in football. Do Chelsea or Manchester United own the rights to sell Jose Mourinho perfumes, suntan lotions, toothpaste, mouthwash, lipstick and nail polish? Which of Chevrolet (sponsors of Man United) and Jaguar (sponsors of Jose Mourinho) get to market the official in-car scent?
And can you ever own someone if you don't possess their smell?
After all, in Patrick Süskind's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer the killer who smelled of nothing "succeeded in being considered totally uninteresting… Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it." Scent is "the invincible power to command the love of mankind."
Get the smell of Jose or get nothing.
Meanwhile, at Chelsea, Conte may care to invest in odor-eaters for all staff, install a wet basset hound in the Chelsea dugout and refrain from washing his hair for months.

In March 2005 Chelsea secured the legal rights to Jose Mourinho's trademark for 20 years. This means that should Manchester United hire Mourinho, a move that seems as certain as Katie Price sleeping on her back, the Red Devils will be unable to stick their new manager's name on such items as teddy bears, aftershave, computer games and all manner of tat. But how important is the Jose moniker?
In an "exclusive", the Times says Chelsea's ownership of the Mourinho trademark "will not delay his appointment at Old Trafford".
Or as the Mirror puts it: "Jose Mourinho's appointment as Manchester Untied manager is being delayed because Chelsea still own his signature."
Not so, say the Times, which states: "Until recently Mourinho's former employers [Chelsea] also owned the rights to reproduce his signature, but that ten-year trademark expired earlier this year…"
The Mirror then says United "face a six-figure bill to secure the rights to his signature and name".
The Times says Chelsea could demand "several million pounds".
The Sun says United will have to "£1million -plus" to use the name Jose Mourinho on merchandise.
The Mail says the 20-year licence Jose signed with Chelsea in 2005 expires in, er, 2013. That Mail says it's between 2013 and 2015. The Times says it's 2025.
Such are the facts.

As the Premier League season ends big media turns to transfer rumours. One issue is deciding how much each club has to spend on new players. With every club in line for a £99m bonus next season, you'd suppose every PL club can spend large on recruitment.
Sunderland: "Sam Allardyce will demand a summer war chest of up to £50million" – Sun
Spurs: "Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to be handed £60m war chest to strengthen squad" – Mail
Arsenal: Arsene Wenger £75m transfer fund this summer to bolster fragile defence and midfield" – Daily Telegraph
Everton: "£100m war chest to fund spending bonanza" – Daily Mirror
Liverpool: "Liverpool boss handed £100m summer transfer warchest… and targets have been identified" – Daily Star
Chelsea: "Chelsea to use chunk of £130m warchest to beat Arsenal to Alexis Sanchez replacement"
Manchester City: "Manchester City to hand Pep Guardiola a huge transfer chest for the summer" – Manchester Evening News
Manchester United: "Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal to get £150m war chest even without top-four spot" – Daily Express
Manchester United: "United Uncovered: Jose Mourinho's £300m warchest" – Daily Express
Such are the facts…

The new Chelsea manager is Antonio Conte. He's signed a contract worth:
£20m over three years (Mail)
£18m over three years (Sun)
15m over three years (Guardian)
£6.5m a year (Guardian)
£9m a year (Times)
As the papers do the sums, Dominic Fifield looks at what new faces Chelsea fans can expect to see that the Bridge:
While Conte is also pushing for the addition of Roma's Belgian midfielder Radja Nainggolan, who is available for €35m, and further experienced defensive cover such as Leonardo Bonucci, Kostas Manolas, Kalidou Koulibaly and Antonio Rüdiger have been scouted at Juventus, Napoli and Roma respectively, where the latter is on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, it is perhaps telling he is to adopt the title head coach rather than manager. That would appear to reinforce Emenalo's position at the club despite Chelsea's patchy recent record on recruitment.
The Mirror says Conte will get shot of John Terry and Thibaut Courtois, replacing the latter with Southampton's Fraser Foster. The Times points to Everton's Romelu Lukaku making a pricey return, Edinson Cavani, Gonzalo Higuain and Artuo Vidal.
But Conte's "top priority" (Mirror) is keeping Diego Costa. The Sun says Conte will "demand, discipline, decency and respect". He might consider recruiting a psychologist to get Costa to fit the mould. And then order a personality transplant for the sneaky striker. But not matter because the Telegraph says Costa's on his way to PSG.
And Conte has another pressing issue, says the Mail in the lead story "match-fix trial dogs new Chelsea boss".
Conte's legal team were in court in Cremona on Monday for the latest hearing of the match-fixing trial in which he is embroiled. It continues on Tuesday, when he will learn if the prosecution are seeking a fine or a prison sentence — though the latter is unlikely. Conte maintains his innocence and a decision is expected by mid-May.
If any fine is linked to his salary, you wonder what newspaper the judges will use as their source?

The Daily Telegraph has news: "Arsenal win race to sign Portuguese prodigy Domingos Quina." Says Sam Wallace:
It represents a coup for the Arsenal academy who have traditionally not competed with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City for the top teenage talent in Europe and beyond.
The Mail says that the deal has not yet been done:
Arsenal to complete signing of Chelsea starlet Domingos Quina in next 48 hours
The Indy then takes the Telegraph's fact that isn't and slips inverted commas around it:
Domingos Quina to Arsenal: 'Gunners win race' for teenager after he quits Chelsea
Just three days ago, the Metro told its readers:
Manchester United are clear to sign Chelsea wonderkid Domingos Quina
Two days ago the Sun said:
"Chelsea starlet Domingos Quina quits club and plans to join Premier League rival – Ace walks out on Blues with Man Utd, Spurs and Liverpool closing in"
Not deal is done until it's done.

Wonderful work in the Daily Mail, which takes a break from appraising women's bodies with a sneering look at Chelsea footballer Eden Hazard. Jeff Powell spotted Hazard swapping shirts at half-time with PSG's Angel Di Maria when the clubs met in the Champions' League last week. Powell wrote:
The tell-tale elements of that picture are the roll of blubber around the belly and the first signs of man boobs on the young Belgian who we elected as this country's Footballer of the Year last season. At only just 25, Hazard looks as if he would be more at home propping up saloon bars along the King's Road than kicking a ball around the pitch at Stamford Bridge.
Get a load of that bloater:
Jeff Powell is rarely pictured with his shirt off.
'Fat' Frank Lampard is away.

For a few hours yesterday the big talking point was England's unexpectedly exiting win over Wales in the Six Nations rugby. But then the story broke that Chelsea's Diego Costa had bitten someone on the BBC's FA Cup coverage. After England had made a meal of beating a late-arriving Welsh team, the Chelsea striker was making a meal of Everton's Gareth Bale. Well, so goes the allegation, which Costa denies.
The papers lap up the meaty juices. To the Mail this is "Costa's Shame", which is tabloidese for "Thank god we didn't have to lead with the rugby". So excited is the Mail that the Costa 'bite' features on two issues:
It's all delicious stuff.
We're awaiting a few words from David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn to break from talking over the future of the EU, the economy, war and the planet to tell us how much sports matters and that Costa is a role model.
As it is, if you can't tell a bite form non-bite, it can't have been much of bite in the first place.
PS: Was it a bite? No. Gareth Bale says it wasn't. Which makes us wonder why Diego Costa nuzzled Gareth Barry, and when being over-friendly becomes sexual harassment?

Chelsea's former doctor Eva Carneiro wants Chelsea's former manger Jose Mourinho to give her a public apology. She wants the public apology as part of any settlement in her employment case, reports the Guardian.
Carneiro is suing Chelsea for constructive dismissal and has a separate but connected personal legal action against Mourinho, the team's former manager, for alleged victimisation and discrimination. The case appears destined for a full employment tribunal pencilled in for 6 June after a private mediation hearing in Croydon… did not yield a compromise over a financial package for compensation and damages.
What looked like a minor disagreement escalated. Jose's pride had been wounded.
The doctor had been criticised by Mourinho and demoted from first-team duties after she and the physio Jon Fearn, waved on by the referee, entered the field of play to treat Eden Hazard in stoppage time at the end of a 2-2 draw with Swansea City on the season's opening day last August. The Portuguese, manager, who was sacked by the struggling Premier League champions four months later, branded the pair "impulsive and naive", with their actions having, in effect, left his side, already depleted, down to nine men for the final seconds.
Carneiro's barrister, Mary O'Rourke QC, told ITV News:
"We're not expecting a resolution today. The two sides are so far apart financially. And we want Mr Mourinho to make a public apology."
She seeks control over Mourinho, the master media manipulator.
Rosy Smith notes in the Times:
Anyone who has even a passing acquaintance with the Portuguese notes just how proud he is. Most managers believe they are always right. They have to if they are to survive. Mourinho exists in a profession where pride is a necessity. And even by those standards, he is quite enormously proud….
Even if he knows, deep down, that he went too far with Carneiro, that he over-reacted, that he let the situation slip from his control, he is not likely to admit it publicly. That is not what Mourinho does…Instead, his approach seems to have been a relentless session of double-or-quits: not content with criticising her, he removed her from the front-line; not content with that, he banned her from the hotel. If Carneiro made a mistake, it was a minor one: acknowledging the support she had received by posting a message on Facebook. It was an entirely understandable thing to do – she is not, remember, used to being in the public eye in the way she has been – but it gave Mourinho a pretext to continue his draconian approach. She had broken the circle of trust. She could not be allowed back in.
So, about that public apology…

The Sunday Times says Chelsea have made a "shock" move to "tempt" Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino. He's been added to Chelsea's "shortlist" of future managers.
The Sunday Times has been informed that Chelsea officials approached representatives of the Tottenham Hotspur manager towards the end of last month to discuss the possibility of him filling the vacant position.
Shocking stuff- but not to Independent readers who read the same story back on January 26:
Mauricio Pochettino to Chelsea: Tottenham manager added to Blues wish list
It was also shocking in February, when the Daily Star reported on the rumour:
Shock of shocks…

The newspapers are torn: did Manchester City throw their FA Cup tie against Chelsea, losing the match 5-1? The Telegraph says Manuel Pelligrini's decision to field a greatly inexperienced side "backfired". The inference is that the City manager thought an experimental City youth side could defeat the Chelsea first team at Stamford Bridge. Surely not. City came to chance their arm and gain experience for their young players.
Chelsea v City was scheduled for late yesterday, before the Manchester side play Wednesday's Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine. Then City play Liverpool in the Capital One next Sunday.
City have higher priorities.
The Mirror accuses City of being the "Cup Killers".
Pelligrini has hammered another nail into the demise of football's oldest Cup, says the Mirror. Says Pellegrini:
"We were forced to select that team, we couldn't play another day and didn't have any more fit players. We knew it was a difficult chance to carry on in the FA Cup. We cannot do anything more. If we play on Saturday, it is better for us, then we play in the Champions League for England. We have six players injured and cannot take any more risks. We played against a very good team and that's why they won."
The Sun mocks Pelligrini's claim that city did it for England:
Is Pelligrini wrong to claim England came first? Not entirely, no.
The Barclays Premier League claims four spots in the Champions League. Italy's Serie A has three. That could change. Slots are allocated according to how well a nation's sides fare in both European competitions. The Uefa club association co-efficients are:
1 Spain 85.142
2. Germany 66.749
3. England 65.034
4. Italy 60.605
5. Portugal 44.582
(Top three associations currently have four Champions League places)
The Times notes:
The Italians cut the deficit by more than half last season, thanks to Juventus reaching the Champions League final and a strong showing by Napoli and Fiorentina in the Europa League.
Should England's representatives struggle again this year, it is conceivable that Italy might catch them at the end of the campaign – meaning England would only be able to send three teams to the Champions League in 2017/18 – though the following season is more likely.
So, Pelligrini might not be "kidding", as the Sun puts it.
Meanwhile, Chelsea move on, travelling to Everton on March 12 – three days after they play PSG in the Champions' League.

This is tremendous. Former Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray now works in Dubai with BeIN Sports. On those fascistic sandy wastes, Gray talks footy matters with his old Sky mucker, the absurd Richard Keys. Last week, while listening to a post-match interview with PSG defender David Luiz after the French side had played Chelsea, Keys and Gray attempted to translate the Brazilian's words.
Gray was all barstool expert – until Graeme Souness told him that,er, Luiz was speaking Portuguese.

Transfer Balls: The Daily Star has conjured a headline to seduce fans of the five biggest Premier League clubs to a non-news story:
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd in epic transfer fight for German whizz
Alex Harris writes:
Mundo Deportivo claim Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are all in the hunt for the Schalke attacking midfielder.
The SEObot that might well be operating Harris won't bother to follow the link. But we will. Over there we hear from one Oriol Domenech, who says Real Madrid and Barcelona are in for Leroy Sane.
Number of quotes to support his story: nil. Number of facts of any sort in either story: nil.
In other news, the Mail asks today: "Is Leroy Sane really worth £42m?"
But the clickbait-bonkers International Business Times say he isn't, declaring in a headline: "Barcelona spy on Schalke 04 starlet Leroy Sane in Bundesliga match ahead of £28.8m summer move."
A summer move – but to where – and for how much?

The Daily Mirror is at pains to tell its readers how good a football Angela Di Maria is. The aim is less to praise the Argentine player than it is to make his disappointing time at Manchester United look like the fault of his former manager, Louis Van Gaal. Last night Di Maria was part of the PSG side that defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the Champions League. Ben Burrows lays it on thick:
Manchester United should be kicking themselves
Whatever Louis van Gaal thinks, Angel Di Maria is an exquisitely fine footballer. Tonight in Paris the Argentine showed everyone, including his former employers, all of the quality that made him the Champions League final's man of the match just two short seasons ago. In the hosts' early blitz, the 28-year-old was central to everything PSG did well, which was an awful lot.
And he was tremendous thereafter too, providing the game-winning assist no less. Unsettled or homesick or whatever, he certainly looks a player United could do with right about now.
Whatever Louis Van Gaal thinks… What about what the Daily Mirror thinks?
Di Maria was, according to the Mirror, the worst PSG player on the pitch.

On the BBC, Chelsea Alan from Twickenham is worried that the soul is being "ripped out" of Chelsea. He fears the Blues are becoming "a Man City who are full of mercenaries".
"I look at Hazard and I look at Costa and I don't like what I see, I don't like their behaviour," says Alan. "I look at the team and wonder where's the soul of it?"
Did the soul of Chelsea vanish when Roman Abramovich bought the club and tossed a billion pounds of interest-free cash at it? Those millions bought great players who won lots of cups. Is City's soul a concern for the club's fans who watched that brilliant homemade Old Trafford clock click the years over and over since the Citizens last won a cup – the fans who stuck with their team, waiting for the sublime moment when Sergio Aguero would score that goal to win the title on the final day of the 2012 season?
A few years back I went to a FA Cup even sponsored by Budweiser. At a Q&A session with John Barnes, a prosperous looking man asked a question. He had a broad US accent. The compere, also an American, invited him to speak. "Hey, Barnsey," he said, "What do you think of The Blues' chances this time?" Another journalist sat beside me muttered, "More chance than you have of recognising John Hollins."
It was easy to see that new Blue as part of the problem, a soccer fan who'd adopted the winning club as his own. But so what if he had? This new globalised Premier League is exciting. As Gary Lineker put it after Arsenal's Danny Welbeck had scored a last gasp winner against Leicester City, "There is nothing quite like football for filling you with joy one minute and tearing your heart to shreds the next."
Who can blame the American for wanting in to all that emotion?
Alan the Chelsea fan you can hear in the audio above is a whiner. At one time or another, most fans are. He wants his team to win. When they don't, he looks for the problem. Right now he wants soul. But Chelsea have only the Belgian Hazard, a player unable to recapture last season's brilliance. Ask a fan of the once mighty Leeds if they'd swap Hazard for a local lad who can run and play a bit, who sleeps under a Leeds duvet and can give you the name of Billy Bremner's milkman, and they'd not refuse the offer – even the player's mother, if she were a true Leeds fan, would wish her lad well as he packed his bags.
Hazard and Costa are not hollow-eyed mercenaries here to kill the game. They're here because football fans pay to see them play.
Fans come to see the thrilling and the unexpected. Did Chelsea look like future Champions' League winner when they were relegated to the then second division in 1988? Was that night at an expectant Anfield in 1989, when Arsenal won the title with pretty much the last kick of the match, more or less thrilling because it was so utterly unexpected? Arsenal fans who made the journey didn't go to see their team win; they went because something extraordinary might just happen.
And the unexpected has been happening with increasing frequency. The Economist revealed that up until December 19 2015, the Premier League had the highest number of games won by underdogs in history:
Last season's Blues were the first team in EPL history to lead the league wire to wire: they held at least a share of first place every day from start to finish. They were often compared to the unbeaten Arsenal "Invincibles" side of 2003-04 and Manchester United's treble-winning squad of 1998-99, albeit without emulating either feat. In fact, most gambling companies wouldn't have offered the bet: you could have taken 250 to one for Chelsea to finish in the bottom half, or 7,500 to one for the club to be relegated. Perhaps a generous bookie might have staked a mere 1,000 to one against Chelsea dropping into the bottom six in the depths of December…
Leicester's improbable rise and Chelsea's unprecedented fall have certainly been the biggest shocks of the 2015-16 season. But they are far from the only ones. Plucky West Ham have beaten Arsenal (at odds of 11 to one), Manchester City (11 to one) and Liverpool (eight to one) away from home. In the last fortnight, tiny Bournemouth have vanquished Manchester United and Chelsea, whilst struggling Newcastle have beaten both Tottenham and Liverpool—combinations that according to bookmakers were respectively 3% and 2% likely. Perhaps the only predictable feature of the Premier League in 2015-16 has been the regularity with which pundits have described it as the most unpredictable season ever. According to the betting lines, 42 of 160 games (26%) thus far have been won by the underdogs; since the turn of the century, no Premier League season has ended with the unfavoured teams winning more than 23% of matches.
It's great when your team wins. And when they win when you least expect it, it's magic. Will Chelsea come again? Sill Spurs rekindle those glory glory days? Are Leicester on the cusp of a coruscating victory?
We don't know. And that's that makes the Premier League so captivating.

Big news is that China is buying up footballers, spunking even more cash than desperate foreign-owned English clubs do on mediocre foreign talent.
The Sun leads with "The Great Haul of China". The shock news is that foreign footballers don't come to England just for the weather and lap-dancers – they come for the cash. And China has oodles of the stuff. Can Chinese money usurp the Premier League hype factory? The Sun says Chinese club Jiangsu Suning bid £57m for Chelsea's Oscar.
The Telegraph and Daily Star says that's not true:
Is it £57m or is it £75m? Or doesn't £18m matter in the ugly football meat market?
The facts are murky but the money is there. This week Alex Teixeira joined Jiangsu Suning from Shakhtar Donetsk in a €50m move. Jiangsu, coached by the former Chelsea defender Dan Petrescu, earlier invested €21.5m Ramires from Chelsea.
Jiangsu was established in March 1994. It became Jiangsu Suning F.C in 2015, when the Suning Commerce Group bought it. Suning operates about 1,600 shops in China. It has a market cap of $16.2billion.
Could China pop the Premier League bubble? Would English football fans welcome the end of the money game?

On February 1, Manchester City manager Manuel Pelligrini told the Press he'd know for ages that Pep Guardiola was replacing him next summer. That news came as shock to Chelsea fans who seeking information about their club's next boss turn to the Daily Star and Daily Express.
110% balls.

Transfer balls salutes the Daily Telegraph, which declares: "Everton close in on Niasse." That's Oumar Niasse, the Senegal international who has now joined Everton in a £13.5m move from Lokomotiv Moscow.
What's odd about the Telegraph's report is that it features on the paper's "Chelsea transfer news and rumours" page. Niasse has no links to Chelsea – he's not one of their myriad loaned players. So why is he on the Chelsea page? Helpfully the Telegraph explains:
"What does this have to do with Chelsea?" I hear you ask. Well, quite a bit, actually.
You see, Chelsea are a team who get googled a lot, so if you have the word "Chelsea" in your headline you'll get lots of clicks and the sweet, sweet literal fractions of pence that accompany each one. I mean, they're googled enough to warrant a transfer blog all to themselves even though they're not going to do anything (where's my SJA nomination, come to think of it?). Anyhow, that means that a bunch of websites are retrospectively making Niasse a Chelsea target when reporting that Everton are going to sign him, even though they'd never mentioned Chelsea's interest in the past.
This is how transfer deadline day reporting works. Lap it up.
Having earned clicks from Chelsea fans for that report and misleading headline, we wonder what the Telegraph has said about Niasse? Well, on January 9 this year, the paper of record stated:
Chelsea transfer news and rumours: Chelsea poised to make £15million swoop for Oumar Niasse…Whilst Manchester United prepare to launch a £40million bid to sign his compatriot Sadio Mane… Chelsea are hoping to pick up more of a bargain in signing Niasse for around half of that figure.
Having learned that £15m is about half of £40m, readers were also told that Chelsea and Tottenham wanted to sign the player. Mentions of Everton's interest: nil.
Such are the facts in the Telegraph.

A lot of business owners are totally unsure how to grow their business.
But in my view there are only two primary areas you need to focus on.
1. Innovation
How much new stuff are you trying?
The sad thing is, most entrepreneurs do very little experimenting. Incredibly, a lot of business owners do pretty much the same things for 10 or 20 years!
Because they don't innovate, they keep getting the same mediocre results, year after year.
Look, here's the truth. You don't need to be a genius to succeed in business, you just have to try lots of stuff. Believe me, as long as you keep trying new ideas in sales, marketing, positioning and pricing, some of it is going to work big time.
When was the last time you innovated? Great entrepreneurs innovate all the time. You can see it here:
2. Optimization
The other key area you need to focus on is Optimization – making what you already have work better.
Once again, average entrepreneurs do very little optimizing. If something is working okay, they tend to just leave it. This is crazy, as it's quite possible that you could double the effectiveness of what you're doing if you kept on making small improvements to it.
Most of you could be making twice as much money if you just started optimizing what you're doing – changing a headline, finessing a sales presentation, improving what you staff say on the phone, etc.
These are all easy things to do but can colossally increase how much money you make.
I explain more about this in a special video. Check it out here:
Innovation and Optimization: the only two areas you really need to focus on to build a super profitable business.
Are you doing enough of them?

I sent them my iphone 5 after they valued it online at £223 only to recieve an uodated value of £156 due to scratched on the screen. There was nowhere to put in the condition of the phone and in anycase it was only slightly scratched due to normal wear and tear. Nowe I must pay £3 for them to return the phone ontop of the initial £7 that it cost me to post it to them. Stick with Mazuma or Envirophone they are much more trustworthy.

A power station is a combination of machines that extracts energy from a fuel. Some power stations burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or gas. These machines / equipment are essential for generating electricity. Equipment such as turbine, generator, boiler, gearbox etc are termed as power generation equipment.
Concern for the environment and growing power demand are driving power generation equipment manufacturers to invest in new and efficient technological innovations. These innovations bring new levels of complexity both to generation and transmission equipment suppliers. The traditional power grid is rapidly evolving into a smart grid of providers and user/providers. Ensuring the reliability of the power grid is putting more burdens on equipment manufacturers to develop innovative systems relying on high-power electronics to control the safe operation of the equipment.

What impact will Brexit have on the travel business, and which airline stocks are a buy, with Jim Corridore, S&P Global Market Intelligence airline analyst. » Read More
*Union still supports merger with US Airways. NEW YORK, Oct 30- The pilots union at American Airlines said on Tuesday that a labor deal could be close if the bankrupt airline is willing to make certain key concessions.
*JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports are closed until further notice, according to the Port Authority. *US Airways Group Inc is not operating in New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and several other Northeast airports on Tuesday. *American Airlines has flights scheduled into Richmond, Virginia, several Ohio airports, Pittsburgh and Boston on Tuesday.
As our thoughts remain with all those who have been horribly affected by the devastation that hit the U.S. Eastern seaboard and its aftermath, we are being asked about the implications of Hurricane Sandy for markets
Hurricane Sandy smacked the East Coast then turned into Super Storm Sandy. Now, thousands of travelers are no doubt calling her Pain in the Neck Sandy. This, as some airports start operating as normal again others are a long ways from having a regular schedule.
NEW YORK, Oct 30- The biggest U.S. East Coast refinery in Philadelphia began restoring production after Hurricane Sandy on Tuesday and a smaller nearby plant operated without trouble as energy firms began assessing the storm's damage.
Some airports are slowly coming back online post Superstorm Sandy. Finding an available airline seat will be a challenge for days.
*Philadelphia 330,000 bpd refinery, biggest on coast, undamaged-source. NEW YORK, Oct 30- The biggest U.S. East Coast refinery in Philadelphia appears to have emerged undamaged from Hurricane Sandy and a smaller nearby plant operated without trouble, sources said on Tuesday as energy firms began assessing the storm's damage.
Superstorm Sandy slammed into the U.S. east coast on Tuesday and hurled a record 14-foot surge of seawater at New York City, flooded the financial district and left 7 million people without power.
*Seven major New York bridges closing; two tunnels closed. *Rail, container ports closed in New York, New Jersey. New York said it would close seven major bridges at 7 p.m. EDT on Monday, including the George Washington Bridge and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
NEW YORK, Oct 29- The supply of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel into the U.S. East Coast ground almost to a halt on Monday as Hurricane Sandy forced the closure of two-thirds of the region's refineries, its biggest pipeline, and most major ports.
Sandy has made landfall along the coast of southern New Jersey. While downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone, it still has sustained winds of 85 mph.
NEW YORK, Oct 29- More than two-thirds of the U.S. East Coast's refining capacity shut on Monday ahead of Hurricane Sandy, sending gasoline futures up as much as 4 percent as operators braced for potentially damaging power outages and flooding.
With Sandy gaining strength overnight as the vast storm turned westward toward New Jersey, Philadelphia Energy Solutions began the precautionary closure of key units at its 330,000 barrel-per-day Philadelphia refinery, the biggest in the region, said one source familiar with operations.
Most airlines are providing full refunds for canceled flights or waiving fees to reschedule travel hit by Sandy. Instead of calling and being on hold, here's how to get faster service.
Hurricane Sandy began veering as predicted early Monday on a path that would take it over Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York putting it on a path that could endanger 50 million people.
NEW YORK, Oct 28- Oil refineries along the U.S. East Coast began to cut rates and companies prepared other energy facilities on Sunday ahead of Hurricane Sandy's expected landfall along New Jersey's barrier islands.
The offers cover passengers flying in or out of just about any airport from Latin America to New Hampshire. The airlines have only canceled a handful of flights so far, nearly all of them in and out of Florida and the Caribbean. Hurricane Sandy killed at least 20 people in the Caribbean, and left Bahamas this afternoon.
Oct 25- United Continental Holdings Inc, the world's biggest airline, missed Wall Street estimates for third-quarter profit as revenue fell and expenses rose, sending its shares down nearly 4 percent on Thursday.
United Continental Holdings Inc.' s profit tumbled to $6 million after earning $653 million in the same quarter last year, and the results fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
Oct 25- United Continental Holdings Inc, the world's biggest airline, reported a lower-than-expected quarterly profit on Thursday as revenue fell and expenses rose.

SmugMug has capability to work with Blurb for making books:

Is Chris the reason behind that big smile? A beaming Rihanna bares her midriff onstage in Azerbaijan amid rumours she's back with Brown
She's rumoured to have reconciled with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown after the pair were spotted together three nights this week.
And Rihanna was positively glowing as she bared her toned abs and performed at Baku's Crystal Hall in Azerbaijan on Saturday.
The beaming 24-year-old flaunted her new winged torso tattoo in an Egyptian-eyed crop top, which matched her multi-patterned sarong skirt and black boots.
Back together with Chris? Rihanna was positively glowing as she bared her toned abs and performed at Baku's Crystal Hall in Azerbaijan on Saturday
Rocking her cute pixie cut and hoop earrings, the Barbadian pop star was practically beaming onstage as she played her hits during the high energy one-off performance.
Perhaps Chris is the reason behind Rihanna's big smile, as the 23-year-old singer fueled rumours of a reconciliation when he posted a video on Thursday.
To the max: The beaming 24-year-old flaunted her new winged torso tattoo in an Egyptian-eyed crop top, which matched her multi-patterned sarong and black boots
Fierce: Rocking her cute pixie cut and hoop earrings, the Barbadian pop star played her hits during the high energy one-off performance
Chris, whose brutal assault on Rihanna in 2009 left her hospitalised, asked on camera, 'Is it possible to love two people at once?'
It's a notion some
took as a reference to the You Da One hitmaker, as well as his recently-dumped girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
Meanwhile the We Found Love singer made a veiled reference to her ex while rumours swirled, writing on Twitter: 'Ain't nobody bidness..... But mine and my baby!'
The pair also recently received the public seal of approval from the queen of daytime TV herself - Oprah Winfrey.
The look of love: Perhaps Chris Brown is the reason behind Rihanna's big smile as the pair were spotted together three nights this week
Allow her to entertain you: Rihanna was positively glowing as she sang to the Baku crowd
'I'm not surprised,' the 58-year-old presenter told Extra of the rumours on Friday in Houston.
'I think that if she is prepared to deal with that and is prepared to help him help himself
then so be it. I have no judgment about it. That's why I can sit there
and have such a great time with her because I do all my interviews with
no judgment whatsoever.'
During Oprah's exclusive interview
with Rihanna last August, the gorgeous singer revealed that her father
Ronald Fenty had physically abused her mother.
Reigniting the old flame: The 23-year-old singer fueled rumours when he posted a video on Thursday - apparently declaring his love for the You Da One hitmaker and his recently dumped girlfriend Karrueche Tran
We Found Love: Meanwhile Rihanna, who debuted her Nude fragrance this week, made a veiled reference to Brown as she wrote on her Twitter: 'Ain't nobody bidness..... But mine and my baby!'
But Rihanna has accepted and forgiven her father, and Oprah believes she has forgiven Chris Brown in the same fashion.
Winfrey continued, 'You know what I
loved about that interview is that she came with a big wide open heart.
She was in the space of forgiveness.
'And that she learned a lesson that
she was repeating with Chris Brown - exactly what she needed to learn
from her father.'
Other friends of the pair are not as optimistic about their potential reconciliation, it would seem.
The queen approves: The alleged couple recently received the public seal of approval from the queen of daytime TV herself - Oprah Winfrey
A source told RadarOnline: 'Chris and Rihanna just love the drama. They know their fans don't support them getting back together, and that it's a terrible PR move since Chris was convicted of beating Rihanna.
'However, this is what Chris and Rihanna thrive on. There are still major trust issues that Rihanna has with Chris, with good reason. He was hooking up with her while he was still dating Karrueche.
'Chris and Rihanna back together in any capacity is just a disaster in the making,' the source said.
'So be it': Oprah, who interviewed the singer last August, said that she was not surprised about the rumours and if Rihanna 'is prepared to deal with that and is prepared to help him help himself then so be it'

FRANKFORT—College basketball fans have been enjoying buzzer-beating basketball tournament finishes for the last two weeks, but the General Assembly may have one more "buzzer beater" for them as time dwindles for the 2016 regular session.
With only four legislative days remaining in the session, lawmakers made progress in getting Kentucky's budgets passed this week. On Thursday, members from both the House and Senate were gathered at a conference table, trying to iron out the differences in their budget proposals before the scheduled veto recess begins on Tuesday.
This past Tuesday, the House tipped off its budget week with a proposed Road Plan that includes proposed road, bridge and other transportation projects totaling $4.58 billion. The House also passed legislation that would require new steps to fund the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System on an actuarially sound basis starting in 2017. Under provisions of House Bill 1, state employers would be required to pay additional contribution rates to fully fund the pension system. The Senate is now reviewing the bills.
A day later, on Wednesday, the Senate responded to the House's executive branch budget proposal with its own amended version of House Bill 303.
Working from the House's bill passed last week, the Senate reinstated many of the initiatives unveiled by the governor in January including a 9 percent reduction in spending on Kentucky's colleges and universities. The Senate plan increased proposed funding for anti-heroin efforts, in comparison to the plan approved by the House, and also called for setting aside $250 million in a "permanent fund" for future pension fund payments.
While the conference committee works to find agreement in the budget that will ultimately land on the governor's desk, other legislation made its way through both chambers with sponsors hoping for their "One Magic Moment." Among topics considered were:
Restoring voting rights. On Monday, the Senate passed a bill that could give some felons a clearer path to regaining voting rights Senate Bill 299, if passed by lawmakers, would let voters decide on a proposed constitutional amendment giving the General Assembly authority to establish a process for non-violent felons who have served their sentences to recover their voting rights. SB 299 is now awaiting House approval.
DUI offenders. The House passed an amended version of Senate Bill 56 on Wednesday, sending it back to the Senate for approval. SB56 would strengthen penalties for driving under the influence by making a fourth offense within 10 years a felony charge. Currently, a felony charge comes after a fourth offense in five years. The amended version passed by a 98-0 vote. The bill would take effect immediately with the governor's signature. The Senate originally passed SB 56 in January, 35-1.
Enhanced ID cards. Senate Bill 245, which would bring Kentucky drivers' licenses and other identity cards into compliance with the federal REAL ID initiative, was passed by a 26-12 Senate vote on Tuesday. Without compliant IDs, Kentuckians may have future trouble flying on commercial airlines or may face other restrictions after a federally mandated deadline passes. REAL IDs include more personal information and anti-counterfeit facets like barcoded information. So far, only 23 states have compliant IDs even though the original deadline was in January. The bill, which received a favorable vote from a House committee soon after the bill was delivered from the Senate, is now awaiting consideration of the full House.
Open records. House Bill 80, passed by the Senate Committee on State and Local Government on Tuesday, seeks to narrow open records exemptions for private companies providing goods or services normally provided by government agencies. Under HB80, firms who derive at least 25 of their total revenue from governmental sources would have open records apply to it just as if it were a public agency. The bill awaits a vote by the full Senate.
First responders. Senate Bill 195, which would allow firefighters with certain types of lung or other cancer presumed to be tied to their employment to be eligible for lump-sum state death benefits, passed in the House on Monday. The bill, along with a similar bill providing benefits for emergency medical personnel killed in the line of duty, is awaiting the governor's signature.
Parents' rights. House Bill 129 would expand legal grounds for stripping parental rights in cases of abuse or murder – or the attempted abuse or murder – of a child. Those rights could also be terminated in cases of complicity in the death or injury of a child's parent, step-parent guardian or custodian. The bill passed a House vote on Monday, sending it to the Senate for consideration.

UPS announced Monday that it would expand its next-day air service by another 12,680 ZIP codes to create an earlier guaranteed delivery option for customers where only end-of-day guarantees were offered.
But while the Louisville area already has the service due to its proximity to Worldport, a large swath of Kentucky will benefit, spokesman Mike Mangeot said in an email.
More than 300 Kentucky communities in outlying areas, from Pike County in the east to Graves County in the west, Mangeot said.
Under the expansion, UPS Next Day Air Early service will reach 98 percent of businesses nationwide, up from 94 percent. UPS expanded the guaranteed service in two phases, the first phase in November 2015 and again this month. Saturday service is also available to certain destinations.
"Already we've seen manufacturers, healthcare companies and professional services, such as financial firms, respond to the expansion," Alan Gershenhorn, executive vice president and chief commercial officer said in a statement. "Getting a package by noon or 2 p.m. has proven to be attractive. For example, businesses use those additional hours to process documents faster, or to turn inventory or lab specimens around quicker."

Washington, DC. -- March, 17, 2016 – Today, the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) announced the availability of $65.8 million through the Obama Administration's Partnerships for Opportunity and Workforce and Economic Revitalization (POWER) Initiative to develop new strategies for economic growth and worker advancement for communities that have historically relied on the coal economy for economic stability. With this announcement, communities and regions that have been negatively impacted by changes in the coal economy -- including mining, coal fired power plants and related transportation, logistics and manufacturing supply chains -- can apply for resources to help strengthen their economies and workforces. Funds are available for a range of activities, including:
* Developing projects that diversify local and regional economies, create jobs in new and/or existing industries, attract new sources of job-creating investment and provide a range of workforce services and skills training;
* Building partnerships to attract and invest in the economic future of coal-impacted communities;
* Increasing capacity and other technical assistance fostering long term economic growth and opportunity in coal-impacted communities.
"Through the POWER Initiative, the Obama Administration has committed to helping coal-impacted communities diversify their economies amidst the changing power sector landscape," said U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Jay Williams. "EDA is pleased to lead this important initiative with our federal partners to help communities across the nation access federal support to create jobs, attract capital investments and strengthen workforce development in their regions."
"Many communities across Appalachia – from coal mines to Main Streets – are being impacted as the world changes the way it produces and consumes electricity." Said ARC Federal Co-Chair Earl Gohl. "The POWER Initiative can be a game-changer for Appalachia by partnering with these communities and investing Federal resources to support local initiatives that will forge sustainable economic paths for the future."
The POWER Initiativeis a multi-agency effort aligning and targeting federal economic and workforce development resources to communities and workers that have been affected by job losses in coal mining, coal power plant operations, and coal-related supply chain industries due to the changing economics of America's energy production. The POWER Initiative is part of President Obama's POWER+ Plan, a broader set of investments in coal-impacted communities, workers, and coal technology that is in the President's FY 2017 Budget.
Additional information about the POWER Initiative, including application materials, is available at www.arc.gov/power or www.eda.gov/power. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Awards will be announced later this year.

About the U.S. Economic Development Administration (www.eda.gov)
The Economic Development Administration marks 50 years of public service, leading the federal economic development agenda by promoting competitiveness and preparing the nation's regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy.

FRANKFORT—An eventful week at the Capitol saw the arrival – finally – of a full House.
Four new state representatives were sworn in on Tuesday, filling vacant seats in the chamber in time for the legislative scramble as the 2016 General Assembly session heads into its home stretch. The newcomers: Lewis Nicholls, D-Greenup, a former judge and son of a former state legislator; attorney Daniel Elliott, R-Gravel Switch; Jeff Taylor, D-Hopkinsville, an economic development professional; and Chuck Tackett, D-Georgetown, a farmer and former county magistrate.
The ceremony was a prelude to a flurry of legislative action as the House and Senate passed bills focused on improved public safety, civil rights and education as the week progressed. As expected, though, the real focus of the 11th week of the General Assembly session was the biennial budget as the House passed its version with a 53-0 vote on Wednesday. The budget, House Bill 303, and related budget legislation were forwarded for Senate consideration.
The nearly $21 billion budget bill would roll back some funding cuts proposed by Gov. Matt Bevin to many areas of state government and authorize less debt than proposed in the governor's proposal. The HB 303 budget would eliminate cuts for constitutional agencies and select education programs while fully funding the troubled Kentucky Employees' Retirement System by tapping into $500 million the governor wanted to set aside as a permanent fund for future pensions.
With only nine legislative days remaining, the Senate now gets a chance to craft its reply. After next week, March 28-29 are concurrence days set aside for floor passage of bills from the opposite chamber. The 10-day governor's veto recess follows, with the final two days of the regular session scheduled for April 11-12.
The legislature must agree on a budget before then or face a possible special session.
While much focus was on the budget and associated bills this week, numerous other measures took steps forward, including:
Bible classes in public schools. Senate Bill 278, which would allow public schools to offer Bible literacy classes, passed on Monday. The classes, which proponents say would not be evangelical in nature but focus on the book as literature and a sociological study, would be taught as a social studies elective. The measure has been sent to the House for consideration.
Community college tuition. House Bill 626 would provide Kentucky high school graduates with two years' worth of paid tuition at a state community college under a bill that passed the state House by an 86-11 vote on Thursday. The bill would create the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship Program to cover Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) tuition for recent Kentucky high school grads or GED recipients under the age of 19 who complete applications for financial aid, enroll in at least 12 credit hours a semester, and maintain a cumulative 2.0 grade point average. The bill has been sent to the Senate.
Protected rights. Senate Bill 80 states that it would promote the rights of people to exercise their freedom of speech, conscience and religion. The bill, which was filed in response to a case in which a lawsuit was filed against a Lexington custom T-shirt shop for refusing to make shirts celebrating a gay pride event, would prevent lawsuits or punishment in such cases. The bill specifies that it protects the freedom of religion for individuals who offer customized artistic, expressive, creative, ministerial or spiritual goods and services.
Voting. House Bill 290, passed by a 57-37 vote in the House on Monday, would allow no-excuse, in-person voting at least 12 working days – including two Saturdays – before an Election Day. Kentucky currently only allows voting before an election by absentee ballot with a qualified excuse. HB290 was forwarded to the Senate for consideration. The bill has been sent to the Senate.
Coal mines. Senate Bill 297 would end Kentucky's mine safety inspection program by converting the state's 62 inspectors to "safety analysts" whose responsibilities would include correcting dangerous practices through "behavior modification" instead of issuing costly citations. State inspectors currently test underground mines for hazards six times a year in addition to the four federal inspections. Surface mines are tested four times: twice by state inspectors and twice by MSHA. The measure, which passed the Senate on a 25-11 vote on Thursday, now awaits consideration in the House,
Sexual assault kits. Senate Bill 63, a measure aimed at eliminating a backlog of more than 3,000 sexual assault examination kits – some as much as 40 years old. The bill also would expedite the testing of new kits, directing police to retrieve the evidence from hospitals within five days and submit the evidence to the state crime lab within a month. The bill has been sent to the House for consideration.
The legislative pace is sure to increase as the 60-day General Assembly heads into its 12th week. To stay informed on the progress of bills, to offer feedback to lawmakers or to ask questions about legislative topics, call the Assembly's toll-free message line at 800-372-7181.
The Louisa Rotary Club opened their meeting on a very somber note Thursday, March 10, 2016, as the announcement was made by President, Steve Montgomery, that member, Valerie Smith had passed away.
Valerie, a manager with Louisa Walmart, was a very active Rotarian. Pastor Dan of the Louisa United Methodist Church, spoke of her fondly, remembering some conversations they had. "She was one of the first people I met when I came here" he said. He went on to say just how precious life is, and that "the best way to honor her is to love one another."
Other announcements included Lt. Governor of Kentucky, Jenean Hampton, will be a guest speaker at the March 24th meeting. That meeting will be held at the Lawrence County Public Library due to Holy Week activities at the First Baptist Church.
Catrina Vargo, Economic Development Coordinator, introduced the guest speakers. "I am so excited for you all to see this presentation. This is exactly the kind of entrepreneurial business we need to enhance the lake, and increase tourism in our area," she said, in introducing Andie Maddox and Jamie Smith, co-partners of Legend Outfitters, the first business of its kind in Lawrence County.
Andie and Jamie, along with their spouses, revived the South Side Roller Rink last year, when they took over the building and brought skating back to Louisa.
There are 13 children between the two couples, a few of which have disabilities. "We began thinking about how our children can become gainfully employed, and we started thinking differently; about starting or managing our own business." Smith said that's how the idea came about for the roller rink, which she says has been "wildly successful." "We want to teach our kids that there are many possibilities if you are willing to work for it."
Smith then gave a presentation which outlined the entrepreneurs' new venture, Legend Outfitters. This business will provide guided kayak river trips and plans are in the works to lease the beach area near the marina at Yatesville Lake, where kayaks can be rented, as well as fishing poles, mountain bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas. Other plans include water trampolines, water blobs, a slide, and a floating dock. Party packages will be available as well, using the picnic shelter.
"We want people to enjoy our beautiful natural resources here in the county, and learn how to have fun as a family, and without drugs" said Smith, who along with her family and the others, have been kayaking a long time. "I'm not a small woman, and I am an avid kayaker, anyone can do it."
They plan to keep the activities affordable.
"With this many kids, we know how important it is to keep costs down" she said. Kayak rentals would be $7 an hour, and a small transportation fee if you use your own on the river. Kayakers would meet at the river mural building, where kayaks would be loaded on a trailer, and the group would be transported to a put in spot to begin their trip. The shuttle would pick them up and take them back to their vehicles.
For the water features at the lake, a $5 wrist band would be good for all day, and fishing poles could be rented for $3 per hour. Concessions will also be available. "The possibilities are endless" said Smith. "We want to bring an element of professionalism that hasn't been seen, and offer activities that other lakes in this area do not have."
Smith said there would be a trained, certified lifeguard staff on duty, and they plan to cross market with other area attractions and kayak clubs, including local group, the Kentucky River Pirates. "For us, this is not just about making money, it's also about educating people on what they can do in their community, how to think differently, and how to use and enjoy what God has given us."
Legend Outfitters plan to begin the river trips in April, and start the lake rentals as soon as they get approval. For more information, call 606-253-8187.

AUSTIN, TX(AP) — Texas health officials say more than 30 people who traveled to a softball tournament in Kansas over the Fourth of July weekend may have been exposed to the measles virus.
The Texas Department of State Health Services said in a statement Thursday it wants to alert Texans who traveled to Wichita for the tournament.
Officials say at least three recreational softball teams from Texas played in Wichita. No measles cases had been confirmed by Thursday.
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory illness that spreads through coughing and sneezing. Last year there were 27 reported cases in Texas.
Kansas officials said this week that so far this year they've seen 11 cases.
Measles cases have been rare in the U.S. since indigenous measles were declared eliminated in the country in 2000.
