The Department of English's internship program allows English majors to gain skill and academic credit, and meet people who can aid their careers. The program matches students with locally and nationally known commercial and nonprofit companies in, among other fields, literature, publishing, radio, television, and public relations.
The Department of English's internship program helps majors create a fall or spring semester internship with one of nearly three dozen participating Upstate New York companies (listed below). It also allows students to create a summer independent study program anywhere in the world.
The intern process lets majors refine their field of interest, linking academic study and post-University of Rochester careers. The Rochester Broadway Theater League, for instance, specializes in public relations; National Public Radio affiliate WXXI, in programming; the Messenger-Post newspapers, in writing and editing. Open Letter, the university's new trade-oriented press, and the University of Rochester Press help interns evaluate and acquire books, read untranslated books and/or sample translations, and write pieces for its web site.
An intern works 10-15 hours at the participating company, meeting key officials, earning four credit hours, and building skills and professional relationships. Interns are paired with a faculty advisor. At the end of the semester, they submit a portfolio of their work and a 12-15 page essay describing the internship experience. We also invite students who plan to be on campus the semester following their internship to participate in an informal discussion with undergraduates who are interested in learning more about our internship program.
The summer "independent study" process is similar but allows majors to create an internship near where they live and work. Recent summer programs include NBC and ESPN Television; TV's Dr. Phil, Tavis Smiley, and Tyra Banks shows; and major radio stations in New York, Chicago, and Boston.
Each year the number of internship opportunities grows. For general questions about internships in English, contact Curt Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com. Students who are interested in internships within the Rare Books Department and any other department of the UR library should contact Russell Peck at firstname.lastname@example.com. Students who need to arrange an internship in order to complete their requirements in the Language, Media, and Communications track of the English major should contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Please note that all internships must be approved by one of the program's co-directors in advance. We require that students planning a spring semester internship contact one of the co-directors no later than October 15, and that students planning a fall semester internship make contact no later than March 15. The application process is straightforward, but please be sure to allow yourself enough time to select and interview for an internship, receive English Department approval, and fill out the necessary paperwork. It is never too early to contact us so that we can help you to sort through your internship and scheduling options. Students asking for credit retroactively, after they have already begun their internships, risk not getting course credit for their internships.
Russell Peck, Professor of English, has worked with University of Rochester undergraduates for more than forty years, sponsoring a variety of research internships that allow students to collaborate on his professional projects or conduct research in the university's archives. His research has focused on Gower, Chaucer, and folk and fairy tale motifs in Middle English. He is currently editing the Middle English Texts Series.
Curt Smith, Senior Lecturer of English, wrote more speeches than anyone for former President George H.W. Bush. He is also what Gannett News Service calls the "voice of authority on baseball broadcasting." The former Gannett reporter and Saturday Evening Post senior editor has written ESPN TV documentaries; hosted series for an NPR affiliate, XM Satellite Radio, and the Smithsonian Institution; and authored fifteen books, including the landmark Voices of the Game.
In 2004 University alumnus John Tanenbaum '85 began a funded internship to help English majors subsidize their housing, transportation, and other expenses in a summer independent study. Since 2006 the Tanenbaum Scholarship has helped make internships possible at an academic publishing house in Pittsburgh, a TV production team in Los Angeles, the American Red Cross, and the Legal Aid Society of Rochester. For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Applications for summer 2016 are due at 4pm on Monday, April 18th, 2016. Applications may be found here or in the English Department main office, Morey 426.
A number of undergraduate students have refined their research and writing skills by interning with English Department faculty, the Robbins Library, and the library's Department of Rare Books and Special Collections. Faculty have offered these students an opportunity to collaborate on their professional projects (Morris Eaves's Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly, Alan Lupack's Camelot Project, Russell Peck's Cinderella website), and have supervised their original work in the university's archives (for instance, on the Susan B. Anthony papers, the John Gardner papers, the Claude Bragdon archive, dime novels, and the Plutzik Library's Heyen Collection of broadsides and first editions of contemporary poetry). The students' work is featured on several library websites (http://www.lib.rochester.edu/rbk and http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/carr-dh.htm). Students arrange these internships directly with the faculty who will be supervising their internship.

A holiday treasure for many, "The Nutcracker" will soon twirl back into the spotlight at Ballet San Jose, but this year it won't be the same old song and dance.
For years, Ballet San Jose annually performed one of the most highly respected "Nutcrackers" in the country, the one choreographed by artistic director Dennis Nahat. But when Nahat parted ways with the troupe, he took his beloved "Nutcracker" with him. So this year, the ballet will introduce a new "Nutcracker" -- a world premiere production choreographed by ballerina Karen Gabay and based on blueprints from its artistic partner, American Ballet Theatre.
"All of us who have been with the company for a long time have a special feeling for the old 'Nutcracker,' " says the candid Gabay, during a break in rehearsals for the new production, which runs Saturday through Dec. 23 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.
"I can remember the first time we did it, and I have so many fond memories of dancing it year after year. This Christmas, I hope to live up to that standard but also bring something fresh to it."
In her first major choreographing stint for the ballet, Gabay is fine-tuning the narrative and adding more kids -- lots more kids.
A tradition for many Silicon Valley families, "The Nutcracker" is one of the ballet's most popular offerings. Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's story "The Nutcracker and the King of Mice," Tchaikovsky's chestnut ranks as one of the cash cows of the dance world, a show that always shines at the box office. First danced in St. Petersburg in 1892, "Nutcracker" has become a perennial ritual. From its hummable score to its legions of pint-size ballerinas, "Nutcracker" is the dance equivalent of eggnog. It just doesn't feel like Christmas without it.
"What a gift Tchaikovsky gave to the world with his extraordinary music," says Ballet San Jose's ballet master Raymond Rodriguez. "It warms our hearts and fills our souls year after year, what could be better?"
Nahat was widely hailed for his "Nutcracker," which the company has danced since 1985. Not only did he create the ballet from scratch complete with an original libretto and setting but he also often danced the part of Drosselmeyer, the toy-maker.
But when Nahat was ousted from the ballet he cofounded in January, he took his choreography with him. Since his "Nutcracker" became one of the company's signature creations, there is now a lot of pressure on Gabay to rise to the occasion.
"I have really big shoes to fill and I know it," Gabay says with a small sigh. "Dennis is such a creative genius, he has such a mind, but I am hoping audiences will embrace this new version and let it stand on its own."
Certainly no one is a bigger fan of Nahat's ballet than Gabay, who has danced in Ballet San Jose's "Nutcracker" since its local debut. She admits to being daunted by the responsibility but also honored to be tapped for this passing of the torch.
"This is my first major ballet for a big company and that's a bit intimidating," says Gabay, 50, as clusters of little girls stretch and preen in the background. "Dennis' ballet was so beautiful and I loved dancing it, so this is a little bittersweet for me.
"Dennis was a mentor. He's someone I have learned so much from over the years. It's a wonderful opportunity that I am very thankful for, but I also have mixed feelings."
Gabay has been smitten with this ballet since she was 8 years old. Her first time dancing it, she played a bonbon, one of the teeny dancing candies hiding underneath Mother Ginger's skirt. In three decades with Ballet San Jose, she has often starred as the heroine Marie. Her long history with the piece fuels her admiration for it.
"I truly love 'Nutcracker.' I love everything about it. I love the tradition of it. I love watching the families come to the theater," she says, her eyes shining with glee. "I even love the music, which is something most dancers loathe."
She is also fond of the ballet because her daughter Kalena is among the adorable tykes who star in the mouse brigade every year. Though the 10-year old now favors karate over tutus, she still gets a kick out of sharing a stage with her mom. "She has a blue belt in wushu," notes Gabay. "She is definitely not a bunhead."
For the record, Gabay inherited the rights to the framework of American Ballet Theatre's "Nutcracker" because of that company's affiliation with Ballet San Jose. She is drawing largely from that recipe, from set pieces and props to costumes, but she wants to give the story a whole new feel.
"In some ways, this is a lot harder than building a ballet from the ground up because there are parameters that I have to stick to," she says, "but I also want to add my own perspective to it."
Dancer Maria Jacobs-Yu, who now plays Marie, says Gabay's intimate knowledge of the company is the key to her eye as a choreographer.
"Karen has done an amazing job in such a short amount of time creating her masterpiece," the ballerina says. "She has her own flair that is uniquely hers. I have the utmost respect for Karen. She is such gem and we are very lucky to have her guiding us."
Though it would be a shame to give too much away, Gabay will definitely be making her mark on the heartwarmer, which will feature no less than 100 children in addition to 40 company members. Some of the changes she has in mind are a rethinking of the romance, scrapping the candy shop setting and sharpening the narrative. She thinks that being a mother as well as a dancer and choreographer has shaped her vision of the piece.
"I want to make it my own. I want to deepen the love story and answer some of the questions I have always had," she says. "But what I really want is for people to be as entranced by it as I am."

John Pennington Fayetteville, Ark. Aug. 11, 1958
Reel 312, Item 8
Forty Years Ago
I've wandered to the village, Tom,
I sat beneath the tree,
Upon the school house playground That sheltered you and me.
But none were left to greet me, Tom And few were left to know Who played with me upon the green Just forty years ago.
The grass was just as green, Tom, Barefooted boys at play Were sporting just as we did then With spirits just as gay.
But the master sleeps upon the hill Which was coated o'er with snow Affording us a sliding place Some forty years ago.
The old schoolhouse is altered some,
The benches are replaced By new ones very like the same Our jack-knives had defaced.
But the same old bricks are in the wall, The bell swings to and fro,
Its music's just the same, dear Tom 'Twas forty years ago.
Near by the spring, upon the elm,
You know you cut your name
Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom,
And you did mine the same.
Some heartless wretch has peeled the bark; It's dying sure but slow,
Just as the one whose name you cut Died forty years ago.
Some are in the church yard laid,
Some sleeps beneath the sea;
There's no one left of our old class Excepting you and me.
And when the time shall come, Tom,
And we are called to go,
I hope they lay us where we played Some forty years ago.

- Tesoro bashed for dropping worker-safety programs at Contra Costa refinery where acid spills occurred

- Martinez: Tesoro workers injured in acid spill, second in a month
- Feb 27:
- Feds accuse Tesoro of defying law in wake of accident at refinery near Martinez
- Feb 12:
- Martinez: Two workers at Tesoro refinery injured in acid spill
MARTINEZ -- Federal chemical safety officials say Tesoro Corp. is preventing them from investigating an incident at its refinery near Martinez in which two workers were burned by acid spewing from a broken pipe.
Three U.S. Chemical Safety Board investigators showed up a day after the Feb. 12 incident and initially gained access, but Tesoro's lawyers raised "jurisdictional challenges" and forced the investigators to leave, said Dan Horowitz, the CSB's managing director.
"We've certainly faced our share of jurisdictional challenges, but I can't think of another refinery or chemical plant that has taken a position that injuries aren't serious enough for us to investigate and that we lack jurisdiction," Horowitz said. "This is a new one to me."
Two workers suffered minor injuries Feb. 12 after an acid spill at the Tesoro Golden Eagle Refinery. The workers were airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center and treated for first- and second-degree burns and released, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
Contra Costa Fire District spokeswoman Lisa Martinez said the workers suffered burns after being exposed to a sulfuric acid.
The safety board was created in 1998, and has spent much of the past 18 months investigating the August 2012 fire at Chevron's Richmond refinery.
Tesoro spokeswoman Melissa Flynn released an email statement Friday saying the company was "surprised" that CSB intended to investigate the incident, which she called a "personal safety incident that did not result in serious injuries or substantial property damage."
"We recognize the important regulatory role of the CSB, and the company will voluntarily work with the appropriate regulatory agency in every instance," Flynn wrote. "However, Tesoro has decided that it must respectfully decline to participate in the CSB's review due to their lack of authority in this particular instance."
Horowitz disagreed, saying the CSB responded the day after his investigators were denied further access by issuing a subpoena to force Tesoro to comply with the investigation and turn over records related to the accident. Tesoro must respond to the subpoena by March 7, Horowitz said.
"Any time you lose containment in a refinery and workers are exposed, the incident is serious on its face," Horowitz said. "Clearly, it's important to find out what's going on (at the facility)."
The CSB's investigation of the Chevron fire in Richmond has resulted in hundreds of pages of investigative reports and recommendations for sweeping changes in refinery regulations.
California's Interagency Working Group on Refinery Safety, convened after the Chevron fire, released its final report last week, calling for improved community emergency response systems; better coordination among regulators; strengthening enforcement tools available to regulators; and requiring refineries to implement inherently safer systems, recommendations that in part echoed those made by the CSB.
"The bottom line is if the recommendations in the report are implemented, worker and public safety will be improved," Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, said in a prepared statement. "The recommendations include increasing fines on violations and better public notification when incidents occur."
When asked in a telephone interview Friday about Tesoro's refusal to cooperate with the Chemical Safety Board, Skinner said, "CSB was established by Congress to help improve safety as an independent watchdog. I cannot imagine that CSB would not have a legitimate role or right to work on the incident at Tesoro."
On Feb. 18, the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) ordered Tesoro to shut down the section of the refinery where the pipe was located pending further investigation. An agency spokeswoman wrote in an email Friday that Cal/OSHA discovered violations of state regulations for injury and illness prevention and the safe handling of hazardous materials at the unit.
Flynn, the Tesoro spokeswoman, said Cal/OSHA was permitted access because "it is clearly within their jurisdiction to investigate."
In order to reopen the alkylation unit, which adds octane boosters to refined gasoline, Tesoro must demonstrate to Cal/OSHA that a series of steps have been taken, including a complete review of operating procedures and engineering controls, refresher training for workers in the unit and a review of management of procedures, said Cal/OSHA spokeswoman Erika Monterroza.
"Cal/OSHA's investigation continues into the incident," Monterroza said Friday.
According to Cal/OSHA's order halting use of the unit, operators interviewed said they are "afraid" to operate the unit and that Tesoro is "cutting acid rates and not running the unit as it is designed to be run."
The latest incident comes on the heels of Tesoro agreeing to pay $472,000 in civil penalties for 35 alleged air pollution violations between 2009 and 2011 in a settlement with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. In April 2010, an explosion at Tesoro's Anacortes, Wash., refinery killed seven workers.
The CSB investigated that incident, and issued a draft report last month criticizing the company's approach to facility safety.

It's not got great meta critic scores but the independent scores are quite high, perhaps it's a weekend rental like you say, then at least if it is no good I wouldn't have folked out £50 for the privilege!

This is probably hardest game I've played since the late 80s lol. I'm playing on normal but it's insanely hard. I don't know what the hell the devs were thinking. Enemies...like regular enemies, are like boss fights. And I may not be an expert gamer, but I've beat all souls games fairly easily, so it can't be just me.
I've read on other forums that the last boss is crazy hard...like hardest/cheapest boss ever.
I see no option but to go to the easiest difficulty level. Even on easy apparently the last boss is crazy hard.
I'm not sure about this purchase...but too late now. As well, how do i switch to pyro? I can switch from warrior to rogue but not pyro....
Anyway this is a really fn annoying gameI love my PS3, but I'm ready for the PS4!
05-15-2014 #10
LOL yeah the enemies do be cheap. Than some times I just slice through them. They do a lot of damage from a few blows.
05-15-2014 #11
I have this game in my gamefly queue.
From what I've heard, it's a decent action RPG. But nothing special.

really had fun with it, lasted 18 hours, some nice crafting where you upgrade different parts of weapons or armor, use of traps and crossbow ; only played on easy though, allies quite help you but when going hard and above the NPCs aren't upgraded so they die fast

|Pitching Coach
|(361) 825-2147
|Phoenix, Ariz.
|Previous College:
|Texas A&M - Corpus Christi (2005)
Sarah Pauly, former Islanders All-American and nine-year NPF veteran returned to her alma mater during the 2012 season to serve as the pitching coach.
As an Islander, Pauly became one of the top pitchers in the collegiate game, leading the team to three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Pauly was named Big South Pitcher of the Year and Big South Tournament Most Valuable Player, while earning All-Conference First-Team honors.
In her senior year, she finished with a 37-7 record and a 0.56 ERA. Her win total was the third-highest in the nation while her ERA was good for fourth in the NCAA. She was also second in strikeout ratio with 12.08 per seven innings and was third in strikeouts with 497 during the year while leading the team to the NCAA Regional in Austin.
The Phoenix native finished her collegiate career with a 112-46 record and is third in NCAA history with a strikeout ratio of 11.6 per seven innings. She is also ninth in career strikeouts with 1,370 in just three seasons, as the team was a provisional Division I member her freshman year.
Following her collegiate career, Pauly joined the National Pro Fastpitch Stratford Brakettes in 2006 and earned NPF Pitcher of the Year and NPF Most Valuable Pitcher honors. Following a runner-up finish in the league with the Brakettes, Pauly pitched for the 2007 NPF Champions, the Washington Glory. She earned All NPF Pitcher honors with a 13-6 record, while striking out 122 batters with a 1.35 ERA, to lead the team to the NPF championship title. In 2007 she trained with the USA National Team.
In 2008, Pauly helped lead the Glory back to the NPF finals, while leading the league in ERA and striking out 112 batters. In 2010 she joined the NPF Tour that traveled to over 15 college campuses to compete and helped the USSSA Florida Pride (formerly known as the Washington Glory) to their first NPF championship series title. The 2012 season marked Pauly's fourth season with the USSSA Florida Pride and in 2011 she helped the squad to a runner-up finish. In 2012, Pauly tallied an 8-2 record with the Pride while striking out 51 batters in 61.2 innings. She was named to the Combat All-NPF Team. In 2013, she garnered her third NPF title and second with the Pride while being named to the All-Pro Team for the sixth time in her career. She tallied 90 strikeouts in 88 innings and finished with a 9-5 record. Her nine wins tied for second with Chicago's Andi Williamson and her 90 strikeouts ranked third in the league. She also finished in seventh place with a 3.18 ERA. Pauly joined the Pennsylvania Rebellion for the 2014 season and was named to the All-NPF Team, before being traded to the Akron Racers for the 2015 season.
Pauly began her coaching career in 2006 at Spartanburg Methodist College in Spartanburg, S.C., as a pitching coach. In her two years, she helped guide the team to a fifth-place finish in the 2008 JUCO National Tournament.
In 2009, Pauly joined the College of Charleston in Charleston, S.C., where she spent two seasons as a pitching coach and led the Cougars to a second-place finish in conference play.
Pauly has held numerous pitching clinics and private lessons all over the U.S. She was a member of the Honda softball team in Japan in 2011.

One of Colin Kaepernick's teammates wasn't happy that the 49ers quarterback was photographed recently wearing a Miami Dolphins hat.
"This is a huge mistake by Kaep," 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman said, during an interview on NFL Network. "I'm sure he understands that now. In his defense, we're young. In our era these days, we like to match our snapbacks with our outfits."
The 49ers' third-year quarterback was pictured wearing the Dolphins hat at a party a few weeks ago. After initially dismissing the controversy as silly, Kaepernick later posted pictures of himself

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 38 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by NatHuff Pressure Washer Cover - better than expected! I bought several of the covers offered by Improvements. I was really shocked at just how thick and heavy they would be - great for outdoor use although mine are in a garage. The only set back with the pressure washer cover is that its dimensions are built like a rectangle standing on its short side. My pressure washer has a holder for the wand that puts the wand at an angle so the fit isn't as good but this isn't the fault of the product. Have the grill cover, generator cover, and snowblower cover and they are all awesome quality! October 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Glad Great cover Needed a cover to keep the snowblower clean when not in use. This cover fit the bil. Not only good looking it also had plenty of room making it a good fit. I was really impressed with the quality.. October 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BackyardGardener This product is a quality item. This lawn mower cover was better than I expected. After having used covers that were either too thin or didn't cover adequately.....this cover was perfect. It is heavy duty and fits the mower perfectly. Easy to use....no ties or bungees required!

Prospective applicants are encouraged to apply for the upcoming academic year 2015-2016.
Apply Now!
The FLTA Program enables young educators to refine their teaching skills by serving primarily as teaching assistants in foreign language classes or in some cases, as primary instructors.
FLTA's spend one year at an accredited post-secondary U.S. educational institution as non-degree students. They are required to attend at least two academic courses per semester.
FLTA's are outgoing and energetic representatives of their native cultures and by participating in community events and campus activities, FLTA's increase their knowledge of American culture while sharing the values and customs of their own countries.
Although fluency in English is a requirement to participate, FLTA's heighten their English language skills through daily interaction with U.S. students, host institution faculty and community members.
FLTAs add a youthful, up-to-date cultural component to foreign language classes. U.S. students working with young native speakers in non-traditional settings experience the language in a more real environment.
At the completion of their program, FLTAs return home to share their first-hand knowledge of the United States, its customs and its people.
Since 1968 the FLTA Program has aimed to strengthen foreign language instruction at U.S. educational institutions by establishing a native speaker presence in the classroom. The FLTA Program provides an opportunity for young, international teachers to refine their teaching skills, increase their English language proficiency and extend their knowledge of the cultures and customs of the United States.
IIE works with both applicants and host institutions to provide placement services for FLTA candidates. IIE also provides visa sponsorship for FLTA candidates who have already been selected by a host university (direct placements).
FLTAs are typically teaching assistants at postsecondary educational institutions. However, individuals interested in assistant teaching at K-12 schools (elementary, middle, or high schools) are also welcome to apply.
Learn more about how to apply to the IIE-sponsored FLTA
Host Institutions wishing to host FLTAs may tailor the program to meet their unique pedagogical needs. FLTAs often teach beginning and intermediate classes or offer tutorial sessions to improve students' language acquisition. On many campuses they serve as directors of language houses or clubs, offering students uncommon access to target languages.
Applicants interested in becoming an FLTA should carefully review each aspect of the program and eligibility criteria. Outgoing and adaptable individuals who demonstrate maturity, integrity and professionalism are encouraged to apply.
After familiarizing yourself with the FLTA Program and determining your eligibility, you may begin the application process.

Region 1: EPA New England
Mobile Sources
The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments require states with ozone air quality problems to implement the following mobile source control strategies to reduce the emissions from such sources:
- reformulated gasoline
- enhanced inspection and maintenance for vehicles
- Stage II gasoline vapor recovery
EPA New England's Air Quality Planning Unit has approved most of these programs, where required, into the State Implementation Plans.
Reformulated Gasoline
Reformulated gasoline (RFG) is gasoline blended to burn cleaner and reduce smog-forming and toxic pollutants in the air we breathe. The Clean Air Act requires those metropolitan areas with the worst smog problems to participate in the reformulated gasoline program. Many communities and states also have chosen to participate in the RFG program to meet pollution reduction goals of the Clean Air Act.
Phase I of the reformulated gasoline program made great progress. Between 1995 and 1999, it cut smog-forming pollutant levels by about 17 percent compared to conventional gasoline in communities where 75 million people live and work. Phase II, which began January 1, 2000, took another step toward cleaner air. It reduces smog-forming pollutants 27 percent more than conventional gasoline. More information can be found at the links below:
- Emission Facts - Reformulated Gasoline (PDF) (4 pp, 13 K, about PDF)
- Map and List of Reformulated Gasoline Areas
- Area-specific RFG Properties and Emissions Performance
- Transition to Ethanol Blended RFG (PDF) (1 pg, 44 K, about PDF)
Inspection and Maintenance Programs
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) is a way to check whether the emission control system on a vehicle is working correctly. All new passenger cars and trucks sold in the United States today must meet stringent pollution standards, but they can only retain this low-pollution profile if the emission controls and engine are functioning properly. I/M is designed to ensure that vehicles stay clean in actual customer use. Through periodic vehicle checks and required repairs for vehicles that fail the test, I/M encourages proper vehicle maintenance and discourages tampering with emission control devices.
Substantial reductions in vehicle emissions are necessary for many areas to attain clean air. Depending on the sophistication of the program, I/M can reduce vehicle-related hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions by 5 percent to more than 30 percent. A comprehensive I/M program can also yield reductions in nitrogen oxide emissions of up to 10 percent. More information can be found at the links below:
- Vehicle I/M - Consumer Information
- Vehicle Recalls
- Frequently Asked Questions About On-Board Diagnostics
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont are all required by the Clean Air Act to have vehicle

This past weekend while driving through the town of Eagle, I noticed on several locations that the "Professional Firefighters of Eagle" are endorsing the ERS project. I find this hard to accept, since the fire district is a tax funded entity.
If they wish to endorse the project individually, that is their choice - but not to endorse the project as a professional entity.
My home is in the Greater Eagle Fire District, as well as many other homes, but we are not allowed to cast a vote (on the ERS election) because we are not in the corporate limits of the town - but we are liable for the mill levy needed for the fire district budget.
This would be a fair election if the people within the fire district were allowed to vote - not just the people in the corporate limits of the town.
Editor's Note: The Eagle Professional Firefighters Association - the union of professional firefighters employed by the Greater Eagle Fire Department - is the entity that issued the Eagle River Station endorsement. The fire district itself, as a governmental entity, is prohibited from taking a stand regarding the upcoming election.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: HAMBIDGE, K MICHAEL
Project Title: Complementary feeding: a Global Network cluster randomized controlled trial
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Together with lack of exclusive breastfeeding, inadequate or/and inappropriate complementary feeding is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Use of unfortified plant-based complementary foods, even prepared optimally, cannot meet the needs for certain 'problem' micronutrients. Of special importance are iron and zinc, requirements for which can only be attained from unfortified foods if meat/liver are provided on a regular basis from the age of 6 mo. The broad goal of this proposal is to determine the multicultural potential of a non-fortified food-based approach (with continued breastfeeding), to achieve a nutritionally complete diet between 6-18 mo of age, especially during the challenging transition period from 6-9 mo. The key goal of our strategy will be to specifically encourage the regular feeding of meat/liver from 6 mo of age. The two hypotheses include: 1) that regular intake of meat/liver can be initiated at 6 mo and subsequently sustained; and 2) that the early introduction of meat/liver will be associated with significantly greater intake and improved status of iron and zinc, enhanced physical growth, improved neurocognitive development, and reduced infectious disease morbidity. Participants (n = 410) will be randomized by clusters to receive repetitive educational messages based on national/WHO complementary feeding guidelines (controls) or these guidelines plus messages regarding regular feeding of meat/liver from 6 mo onwards (test). Specific messages will be based on results of initial formative research which will incorporate principles of behavioral change communication (BCC). For the participants in the test clusters, additional messages developed from outcomes of formative research, will focus on the identification of affordable sources of meat/liver and offering these as regular complementary foods. Dissemination of the messages and training will be via local community health services, supported by lay counselors identified on the positive deviance model, to support behavioral change of caregivers. The primary functional outcome of the intervention will be linear growth from 6-18 mo; secondary outcomes include performance on neurocognitive testing and incidence of diarrhea and lower respiratory infection. A positive multi-country outcome of this trial will demonstrate the broad effectiveness of a BCC education model for achieving a local, food-based approach for adequate complementary feeding.

Report Predicts Huge Growth in Clean Energy Technologies
Prepare yourself for a boom in clean energy technologies: Markets for solar energy, wind energy, and fuel cells are poised to grow from $16 billion in global revenues in 2004 to more than $100 billion by 2014, according to a report released on March 22nd by Clean Edge, Inc., an energy research and publishing firm. Clean Edge projects that over the next ten years, markets for solar photovoltaic devices will grow from $7.2 billion to $39.2 billion; wind power installations will expand from $8 billion to $48.1 billion; and fuel cells and distributed hydrogen will grow from $900 million to $15.1 billion. See the Clean Edge report, "Clean-Energy Trends 2005".
Another indicator of the burgeoning clean energy industry is the growth of key conferences. The POWER-GEN Renewable Energy conference, held early in March, experienced a 100-percent growth in exhibitors and a 60-percent growth in attendees, according to the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), a major sponsor. See the ACORE press release (PDF 51 KB). Download Acrobat Reader.
The POWER-GEN conference essentially kicks off the 2005 conference season, as many major renewable energy conferences are coming up soon. March 23rd is the start of Globalcon 2005, a conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey, sponsored by the Association of Energy Engineers and featuring themes of energy efficiency and renewable energy. On March 29th, the National Hydrogen Association (NHA) brings its Annual Hydrogen Conference to Washington, D.C., accompanied by the NHA's Hydrogen Financing Forum and the Hydrogen Expo USA. On May 1st, the 11th Annual Clean Cities Conference and Exposition gets underway in Palm Springs, California, while the International Conference on Solar Concentrators for the Generation of Electricity or Hydrogen begins in Scottsdale, Arizona. On May 4th, the Third Annual Greening Rooftops Conference kicks off in Washington, D.C. In mid-May, the Windpower 2005 Conference and Exhibition comes to Denver, Colorado. Finally, for the international travelers, the World Renewable Energy Congress 2005 launches on May 22nd in Aberdeen, Scotland, accompanied on May 25th by the Renewable Power Association's Wave and Tidal Technology Symposium (WATTS).

I have no income and can not work due a work related injury. Please help me if you can or direct me to someone who can.
The bill if for $2700 and I would gladly pay it if I could.

When the Face of the Company Gets Canned
A successful spokesperson personifies a brand. So what happens when the spokesperson and the brand part ways?
That's the awkward dilemma now facing the top brass at Men's Wearhouse Inc., the clothing chain that ousted founder and executive chairman George Zimmer Wednesday under still-unclear circumstances. Zimmer was perhaps best known for concluding the chain's commercials with his deep-voiced signature line, "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it."
It can be tremendously useful for a company to align itself with a single individual, as that can provide a "coherent identity," says Michel Pham, a marketing professor at Columbia Business School. He cites Richard Branson, who unifies Virgin's wide-ranging business lines and personifies the cheeky brand.
Having a spokes-executive is "a very cheap way of building a corporate brand," says Gary Davies, a strategy professor at Manchester Business School.
But such reliance on one person carries major risks, too.
Consider Martha Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia: Martha Stewart the person ran into legal trouble in 2003, and her
eponymous namesake company suffered. Or Livestrong Foundation, which has struggled to distance itself from founder Lance Armstrong after the cyclist admitted to doping. "The whole brand itself was linked to an individual," he says. "When that individual fails, it's in complete violation of what the brand is supposed to be."
A messy divorce between a brand and its ambassador can do more than just sour a few customers or elicit bad headlines. Remember Crazy Eddie, the electronics retailer? The company didn't last long after namesake co-founder Eddie Antar was charged with securities fraud, even when new ownership came in to pick up the pieces. (An actor, and not Antar, starred in the company's commercials.)
It's easy enough for a company to cancel a contract with a celebrity endorser, but it can be tougher to unwind a relationship when the endorsement comes from someone who's deeply tied to day-to-day operations (say as a CEO).
There's good news for Men's Wearhouse: While Zimmer was the face (and voice) of his brand, he wasn't as central to the company's identity as, say, Stewart or Steve Jobs. And, according to a securities filing, the company could continue to use his likeness in ads if they so choose.
"He was slightly more expendable," Pham says.
An earlier version of this post misspelled Michel Pham's last name in the final paragraph. The post has been updated with the correct spelling.

Desperate to broker a weapons trafficking deal that could land $100,000 for his secretary of state campaign, state Sen. Leland Yee allegedly called on an old friend and donor with connections to a militant Muslim terrorist group looking to overthrow the Philippines government.
The secret source supposedly said he could get the buyer, an undercover FBI agent posing as a Mafia gangster from the East Coast, Israeli-made assault rifles and possibly up to $2.5 million worth of military-grade weaponry. Who was this mystery international arms smuggler?
Meet Wilson Lim, a frail, balding, 60-year-old nearly bankrupt dentist. Three years earlier, court documents say, Lim was recovering from a massive heart attack that left him in a coma for a month and mentally fragile, unable to handle his financial affairs. A psychologist found him not fit to practice dentistry, let alone traffic arms.
While the Daly City dentist doesn't fit the profile of an international gun smuggler, he's the linchpin in the federal weapons trafficking case against his politician friend Yee and the state senator's campaign donation lieutenant, Keith Jackson.
Lim, Yee and Jackson are charged with conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms, among other charges. The gun trafficking charge could bring each man five years in prison.
Despite the serious allegations, the federal complaint filed last week offers no evidence that Lim or Yee could actually pull off an international weapons trafficking operation, and it's unclear what Lim's connections are to the notorious Philippines terrorist group Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
Still, according to the complaint, Lim and Yee spent at least two March meetings with the undercover agent trying to convince him the deal could happen. Since the arrests, an English-language newspaper in the Philippines reported that the government there has launched a probe to find out if the country's military has been sending weapons to the terrorist group, as alleged in the FBI complaint.
While there has been speculation that Yee and Lim didn't have the wherewithal to pull off an arms deal and may have been bluffing, an international weapons trafficking expert said the negotiated deal had all the hallmarks of a legitimate plan with a "mom-and-pop-style arms pipeline."
"There's sufficient information in the affidavit that represents an accurate pattern of what would happen for an arms deal," said Kathi Austin, executive director of Conflict Awareness Project and an internationally recognized arms trafficking expert, after reviewing the complaint. "I'm not seeing something that would indicate a major bluff going on." Lim's physical weakness -- he appeared in court in a wheelchair -- would have no bearing on a deal, she added.
The FBI likely has additional information that was not contained in the complaint, Austin said. A red flag is the fact Yee allegedly initiated the arms dealer talk, she added, when he could have suggested a number of more plausible, less dangerous pay-for-play options to raise campaign cash.
Calls and emails to Lim, who is out of custody on $50,000 bail, and his wife were not returned. His attorney, Jonathan McDougall, emailed a statement on behalf of his client: "Dr. Wilson Lim and his family are devastated with his arrest, and the allegations contained in (the FBI complaint). ... The affidavit reflects a few minimal statements attributable to Dr. Lim in an investigation that spanned more than three years. Dr. Lim is eager to have all the facts presented and has confidence in the process."
Weapons dealer or not, Lim has been an ardent supporter of Yee's political career. From 2009 to 2012, Lim personally donated $2,500 to Yee's campaigns, and another $1,000 from his dental practice. Photos from Philippine newspapers show the pair together at numerous fundraisers, including a Southern California event where Yee announced his run for secretary of state. While he has no criminal record, Lim was sued by his landlord in January 2011 after he failed to pay rent on a San Mateo Chinese restaurant. Club Mango had been closed "due to acts of ill-repute and prostitution being committed in these upstairs rooms," according to the lawsuit. A source said Lim would brag about hosting Yee fundraisers there.
After the heart attack, which led to kidney failure and dialysis, Lim could no longer perform as a dentist and his income dropped from $154,300 in 2010 to $45,000 the next year and finally $18,500 in 2012, according to bankruptcy documents, which included an asset list of $5,000 worth of guns.
By 2012 Lim had amassed more than $3 million in debt, wrote Randy Sugarman, his court-appointed bankruptcy trustee, and his inability to work "snowballed" his financial crisis.
"Dr. Lim also stated he had suffered substantial memory loss and could not remember many financial transactions," Sugarman wrote, adding that a psychologist found Lim unable to "perform as a dentist or to oversee a dental practice."
Sugarman characterized the two-year bankruptcy process with Lim as "chaos" and "complicated," continually finding unreported cash payments going to and from Lim that raised "serious questions about (the dentist's) credibility."
Last November, Sugarman sold the Lims' Hillsborough home for almost $2.8 million, paying off his creditors and dismissing the bankruptcy. Despite the ordeal, Sugarman in a phone interview said he could not fathom the federal charges of gun trafficking.
"I find it astounding that Dr. Lim would be involved in anything like that and have the ability to do anything like that," he said.
And yet, on March 11, Lim showed up at a San Francisco restaurant with Yee, Jackson and the undercover FBI agent and detailed how his nephew in the Philippines could acquire weapons, the federal complaint says.
Yee called Lim a "gun lover" who had "no moral arguments of selling weapons." Lim allegedly said the undercover agent would have to meet with the head of Moro Islamic Liberation Front and any type of weapon was possible -- "all kinds of things, we just have to look for it."
Three days later, Lim was sent a weapons list to mail to the Philippines, according to the federal complaint.

Internet access troubles (rural New Hampshire, snow) kept me away for a while, and I missed the 30th anniversary of the assassinations of George Moscone and Harvey Milk on November 27. I first learned of this moment in history during my undergraduate years in the mid-90s, all thanks to the Dead Kennedys song "I Fought the Law (and I Won!)".
What, I wondered then, did "Twinkies are the best friend I've ever had" mean? Who was Jello Biafra singing about in the line "I blew George & Harvey's brains out with my six-gun"? I loved the song because my father had a 45 of one of the earlier versions that I listened to a bunch, so the changes in the DK version thrilled me, even though I had no idea what the song was about (this was in the days before the internet and quick Googling). At the same time, I was trying to educate myself on gay history, and when I read about the assassinations and the supposed "Twinkie defense", I suddenly realized what the song was about.
And so, belatedly, for the 30th anniversary of a terrible day, here's a live video of Dead Kennedys performing the song in Los Angeles in 1984:
(If you want to hear the original studio version of the song, which is somewhat more comprehensible, it's available here.)

I learned of it from Jello also but it wasn't the song it was on one of his spoken word albums. It was the cut where he talked about running for mayor I think (but I would have to go look).ReplyDelete
God I haven't listened to those things in ages.

Butterfield-Odin School students put on a production of "You Can't Take it With You" Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27.
The three act play is a comedy about two dysfunctional families and the relationship between one family's Tony Kirby (played by Ross Blomgren) and the other family's Alice Sycamore (played by Elida Zaldivar).
The Sycamore family is a happy-go-lucky group who are quick to invite people into their home and are unashamed of their quirky behavior. A stark contrast to the Sycamore family, the Kirby crew is unhappy and stuck-up.
When the Kirby's dine with the Sycamore family to celebrate the relationship of their children, the house is rampaged by federal agents who believe the Sycamores are up to no good. Their suspicion is enhanced when they find barrels of gunpowder in the basement of the Sycamore home.
Eventually the two families get to know and accept one another, but not before Alice decides to leave the Sycamore home indefinitely.
Students of Butterfield-Odin have been practicing for these performances for about two months and after a rocky first couple of shows were able to put together a wonderful closing performance.
Superintendent of Butterfield-Odin Schools and Director Lisa Shellum explained before the show how the process of putting on a play has been a learning experience for the students and herself. The school is looking forward to putting together more plays in the future.
The production was a fundraiser for the senior class, with chicken sandwiches, chips, ice cream, bars and beverages being sold during intermission.

First the Rise of the Machines, Now the Rise of the Bugs
This past year wasn't the year everybody realized computers have taken over trading; that honor will forever belong to 2010 and the infamous flash crash. But this year may be remembered as the year everybody realized those expensive, high-powered trading programs and servers can be just as buggy as your average PC.
The "blue screen of death", though, costs the kid in the coffeeshop a few minutes of time. For Wall Street firms, these glitches drain money, prestige, and can even cripple a firm.
In 2012, there were so many mishaps, big and small, it was hard to keep track of them all. Indeed, the upshot of 2012′s "glitches" may be that software-driven crashes are just going to become one more regular, mundane cost of doing business in the market.
The single-biggest and most public crash surrounded Facebook bungled IPO, when the Nasdaq's systems were overwhelmed by the rush of orders. Trading was delayed by half an hour, and many buyers and sellers didn't learn for hours if their orders had even gone through. The technical glitches were just one of the myriad factors that combined to turn what should have been a historic listing into a notorious one.
Nasdaq is still negotiating a proposed $62 million settlement with the firms that lost money over the failure.
Then there was the disastrous March IPO of BATS Global, termed by some the worst IPO of all time (this was before Facebook, mind you).
Over the past few years, BATS had quietly become the nation's third most active exchange, after Nasdaq and the NYSE. When it went public in March, it proudly decided to list the shares on its own exchange. It would be a public company for all of about ten seconds.
Instead of a showcase for its platform and systems, the IPO turned into a complete debacle, as the shares went from their $16 offering price to pennies in a matter of seconds, due to what the company later termed a "software bug." The problem was so bad, BATS quickly withdrew the IPO, and has remained private since.
The Street also learned that software glitches can cripple one of their own in a matter of minutes. Such was the fate of market-maker Knight Capital. On Aug. 1, Knight was installing updated software that would allow it to take advantage of a new NYSE trading program. But the software went batty, with stock quotes for more than 100 companies quickly showing severe drops.
By the time Knight got the problem under control, the mishap had cost the firm $440 million, the market had lost faith in it, and Knight would have to seek a buyer just to stay afloat.
Then there were the less spectacular minor meltdowns.
For example, on an otherwise quiet July afternoon, trading in four blue-chip stocks IBM, Coke McDonald's, and Apple, starting showing a definite pattern: a sawtooth-like movement: up for half and hour, down for half an hour. "Perhaps an algo left unattended and got off the rails," was how one trader put it.
It's these kinds of trades, when the slip shows so to speak, that really illustrate just how ordinary these software bugs have become.
The NYSE trading floor may be a lonelier place these days, but the floor traders aren't ready to be relegated to museum pieces just yet. In the wake of superstorm Sandy, the NYSE was considering switching to all-electronic trading, as nobody could get to the floor. But trading firms weren't prepared for such a step, and many didn't trust that the market could set opening and closing prices without the floor traders.
So, there's still a need for human beings in the market. Given how error-prone these algo machines are, that's a good thing.

Liverpool Message Board
Andy.... It's time.. (sorry)
I have nothing against the kid as a person, never did, but I never wanted him, I hated his purchase, and I never thought he'd cut it at Liverpool, especially when we'd been accustomed to some great players up top. I've always said this, even despite differences of opinion, so if nothing else, I've been consistent.
Obviously the answer is no, but I have to ask, and yes it's sarcastic, hopefully the humor will be found too... Do you still think Andy Carroll will "come good" for Liverpool?
I suppose the question is, which I personally don't, and can't imagine several others care, will he come good at WHU?
What this does do (assuming he agrees to terms and wages or we get stuck with a taller heavier Joe Cole, with more hair, who has more goals btw), is free up another 60-70K in wages, and with whatever the end fee is, will go directly back into the chest for Rodgers to spend in the summer..
And yes, Rodgers will be here in the summer. Considering we didn't add Ince, but presumably will, let's say Andy gets 15M, and FSG stump up another 20-30M, we could very well see ourselves adding one of the "ELITE" attacking players in Europe.
Table wise, and Champions League wise, we are clearly not where we want to be yet, but after spending alot in January, compared to teams above us, and bigger ones in Europe even, further money available and us building a more skilled, talented and faster squad, will improve our chances of recruiting bigger and better names.. Perhaps it's ok to dream of XYZ player until Summer comes!
Sorry Andy, perhaps a full time change in scenery and hairdo, will make him "come good" and score 30 goals..
Obviously if David Sullivan is lying, or gave the interview from the pub, I need to discard this post.

The fact that we could and perhaps should have won yesterday is an extremely prudent point.
To come away from the Etihad with a deserved 3 points having spent considerably less than City and still do when you compare the wage structure SHOULD I hope (maybe) give Armchair a little comfort in what the club's trying to achieve.
You could argue that City have finished their building process and are now trying to restructure to get the wage bill under control. I think they'll suffer for it. Perhaps yesterday wa evidence of that whereas I'd like to think we're still in the middle (or perhaps even at the beginning) of our journey.

....''also u probably know that Barca have never accepted paid sponsor advertising on their teams shirts ?''....
so The Qatar Foundation & Qatar Airways never spent a penny to Barc, for the last 2 years....
Hey Colin,
Yep, watching the game, though watching the super bowl when your team isn't in it, and could have/should have (I'm a Broncos fan) is tough.. plus this is a beatdown..
Anyways, I couldn't find it in exact quotes so I'll have a look tomorrow, or you certainly can, but this seems to highlight what I was saying about FSG writing off bad debt from the cowboys, the first guy's post.. looks like it was 37M
I'm in no way, shape, or form, trying to make you like them anymore than you have to, nor anyone else, I'm just trying to point out that while they say very little, and do things a little slower and more measured than we'd all like, they definitely do things, and really aren't getting much in return aside from money they're due, from profits on matchdays and commercial deals. Can you imagine buying a club for under 400M, in the shape we were, then buying some players, then buying more, who under performed, and then forking over 37M (or 27M) right out of your pocket on a stadium plan/grounds that didn't even have a shovel in the dirt? That would make me sick to my stomach..
Without exact figures and just guessing, they've probably spent in excess of 500M on all things, and not taken a penny more than deserved. While it's a different sport/league all together, I can tell you that the Red Sucks are nothing but a cash cow, hobby and play thing to them.. and rightfully so..
The direction we're going on all fronts is very good, especially, if you look at other owners like the Glaziers for example.. They like to operate every year in the -300+ range, which means they're spending and keeping, but no balance, and only paying when they reach the point where the banks are ready to pull the plug. Difference is obviously they've got Fergie and a 25+ year structure in place..
Look at our game today, who should have won in reality and who should have won on paper? It's amazing that they're worth more than double, probably salary wise too, position vs position and without that idiotic mistake by Reina, we're a few mins from a win that was more convincing than 2-1.. Bitter sweet, but all signs pointing upwards.. Not to mention, I'd take some of our starters over theirs and our bench over theirs too!
Jason...yeah pretty much agree with all u say. I didnt know about the 27 mill on the faulty stadium plans via TOXIC TEXANS.
Yeah hope we can follow these last two away biggies with some hard core fight against the as u say lessser opposition upcoming we need to get it up Swansea after the home humiliation in League Cup and revenge on WBA for the opening day debacle and you know I think we are going to BR needs to keep these boys motivated ...credit to Carra today for his performance too eh ?
If u watching it enjoy Super Bowl Sunday !
Again, I'm with you on Ince.. I wanted him actually before I wanted Sturridge when I heard they were the main two targets, and ultimately, I think we will get him in the summer, at least I hope so. In the meantime, again while I can't say what he'll do, we got a massive talent in Coutinho who won't prevent us from getting Ince in the summer, presumably when Downing is moved on.. We still have wages and space to move, especially considering Sterling can't get on the pitch right now, and Suso can't make the squad... 3 months ago we'd be dire without them.
As for the stadium, I have less important of a view/opinion of it than all of you lot do, but I hope that they can revamp Anfield and get close to 55-60..
The thing with 75-80k is, it's a massive expenditure right out of the pockets, and regardless of what anyone thinks, that's all the owners have done is spend, and profit only from the deals they've made, they've not kept player proceeds like many other clubs or the cowboys before them, so even if their spending is measured and split apart, you can't begrudge them for not spending.. Another thing is, you'd have to know all 80K seats will be filled because it costs a club more money to operate a function with an empty seat, then it earns with the seat full.
If they can secure some other massive deals this summer on top of the 2 I'm hearing are done over on this side of the puddle, then, for me and I think you'd agree, it should go to the squad first, and then start making the final steps on the stadium.
If we had a more ready made squad that just needed 1-2 two players, I'm sure they'd be ready to commit to that project which will be 3-4-5 years, and maybe something they won't even enjoy when their time comes up, but in the meantime if they can spend on players prudently and bring success then everyone wins..
To date, they've spent in excess of 500M on players, the club, some debt write offs and even absorbed a 27M (approx) faulty stadium plan loss on behalf of the cowboys.. how many people would do that? They never even said a word..
As for the game, squad, BR and way things are going, I think after the Oldham match, these last 2 matches were a very strong indicator of the heart and fight of this team, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but today was arguably the best performance of the year vs a team worth twice as much, and we were better by a distance.. That's something bittersweet, but to be proud of, and I think it shows signs of tangibly turning that corner for progress seen..
Let's hope we follow it up vs WBA and Swans, which after today, I'd expect us to.. nothing less can be expected after they just slugged it out with the champs, and the Gooners on their soil..
Jason..u have to look to the future where any new stadium issue is concerned. Thing is we have a waiting list of in excess of 45,000 for season tickets going by how many is capacity now thats 90,000 fans want to see The Redmen at home ...right ? However it looks like we arent going to get a new stadium and we will be staying at Anfield which DOESNT break my heart. But the capacity will liely only increase by 10,000 leaving 35,000 disappointed fans.
Its daft talking about armchair like this hes only like a lot of fans me inc that just want us to stop penny pinching ...please dont quote me stats from THE CORNER SHOP ACCOUNTANCY SCHOOL of how much the owners have spent this window stats can be made to tell whatever story nu want them to. Look we should have had Tom Ince we should have had Jack butland instead Stoke ? have Butland and Ince is still with Blackpool FC ,? tHING IS iNCE WOULD HAVE BEEN the biz hes proven 18 goals in Championship so far this season and KEEPER NEED i SAY ANYMORE AFTER reinas EXHIBITION TODAY ? We also need a MONSTER centre back old fashioned centre half . Why delay get these things done now and if we get a bit of a slap on thewrist from FFP so be it but it will likely be more of a tickle than a slap as this thing will be toothless ...trust me. wHAT HAVE WE ENDED UP WITH sTURRIDGE WHOlooks good but should have been on board for kick of of season so dont quote me the brilliance of the admin responsible for that signing and this player Couhtino WHO i DONT REALLYN THINK WE need RIGHT NOW AND HE WONT HAVE ANY IMMEDIATE IMPACT AS WORK PERMIT TO APPLY FOR ETC . so JUST WHAT DID WE REALLY DO THIS TRANSFER WINDOW ? Thats what armchair and others are asking I think. We are just fans...and weve waited way too long now thats why it was so good to see Kenny bring some silverware home at last ...and then FSG sack him. ps check my posts on City game and its all sweetness and light glass half full light at end of tunnel stuff and not a bad word about Rogers.
I probably could do one pretty good just off the top of my head and I could always sit down and do a more detailed one, but I have 2 fears..
They will get picked apart due to unknown wages, even though this particular exercise and point you want to make is just purchase vs purchase, and second, Armchair will just say, we should have gotten that guy (Mata) instead of this guy (Downing), and how our owners didn't step up for the likes of Hazard, Oscar etc., despite having no chance.. So for every 37M one team spends, we should spend 38M.. even if a position we didn't need..
It's a discussion that not even armchair could beat himself in.. Cat chasing it's tail for an eternity..
Oh, and then there's the stadium. If we had the 80K seats, Hazard would have chosen us over Chelsea..
I despair....
No matter how hard we try to explain things to Armie he still still to his guns regarding his pauper owner opinion.
Can anyone shed any light or publish a league table of transfer purchases for the last two / three windows. I think the results might surpris you Armchair. Liverpool have recently spent big. Problem is, it can be argued that we've spent poorly. It's been an issue for quite some time and I'm encouraged to see that things are looking a bit better this season (to me anyway)
Jason..u are right Messi is a product of the Barca academy also u probably know that Barca have never accepted paid sponsor advertising on their teams shirts ?Plus they donate quite a large sum to UNICEF each year. Can u see Barca ever selling Messi on and reaping some huge profit which it doesnt plough back into the club ? No...Messi will be with Barca for the peak of his career...will Suarez be with us for his ? Stevie has been and for that I thank him and salute him and Im hoping that Suarez is as seriously RED as he says he is . The reason given for Barca not accepting paid sponsor shirt adverts is that... It demeans the club which is the representative of the people of Catalonia....CLASS ACT I'd call them , wouldnt you ?
