6.7-3 Stalking in the Third Degree -- § 53a-181e
Revised to June 12, 2009
The defendant is charged [in count __] with stalking in the third degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of stalking in the third degree when (he/she) recklessly causes another person to reasonably fear for (his/her) physical safety by wilfully and repeatedly following or lying in wait for such other person.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Recklessly
caused fear
The first element is that the defendant recklessly caused <insert name of person> to reasonably fear for (his/her) physical safety. A person acts "recklessly" with respect to a result or circumstances when (he/she) is aware of and consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstances exist. <See Recklessness, Instruction 2.3-4.>
"Fear for (his/her) physical safety" means that (he/she) feared that bodily harm could come to (him/her). Determining whether this element is satisfied requires a two step process. First, the situation and the facts must be viewed from the viewpoint of <insert name of person>. Did (he/she) in fact fear for (his/her) physical safety? If the answer to that question is no, you must find the defendant not guilty. If the answer to that question is yes, you must then ask whether that fear was reasonable. You must answer that question from the viewpoint of a reasonable person under the circumstances at the time. You must ask yourself whether under all the circumstances then present, was the fear reasonable?1
Element 2 - Followed or lay in
The second element is that the defendant (followed / lay in wait for) <insert name of person>. <Insert as appropriate:>
● The following must have a predatory feel to it. The statute does not encompass following that is aimless, unintentional, accidental or undertaken for a lawful purpose. Following implies proximity in space as well as time. Whether someone has deliberately maintained sufficient visual or physical proximity with another person, uninterrupted, over a substantial enough period of time to constitute "following" will depend upon a variety of differing factors in each case.2
● In the context of stalking, "laying in wait" means waiting in a place where another person is likely to be or to pass by.3
Element 3 - Wilfullness
The third element is that the defendant acted wilfully. To act "wilfully" means to act intentionally or deliberately.
Element 4 - Repeatedly
The fourth element is that the defendant acted repeatedly. Acting "repeatedly" means acting on more than one occasion. An isolated act of following or lying in wait cannot constitute stalking.4
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant recklessly caused <insert name of person> to fear for (his/her) safety, 2) the defendant followed or lay in wait for <insert name of person>, 3) the defendant acted wilfully, and 4) the defendant acted repeatedly.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
stalking in the third degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the
other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu, Public Information Officer (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (WASHINGTON, DC; March 4, 2013) – To support state efforts aimed at establishing sound administrative election practices in emergency conditions, Nevada Secretary of State and National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) President Ross Miller and NASS members today announce the formation of a Task Force on Emergency Preparedness for Elections. The task force is a national initiative, formed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which struck the East Coast just days before the presidential election on November 6, 2012. The effort will focus on identifying laws and practices that enhance the ability of state election officials to prepare for, and respond to, emergency situations. "Our members want to identify the strategies that worked well for election officials who dealt with the fallout from Hurricane Sandy while avoiding major disruptions to voting on Election Day, and more importantly, find some cost-effective ways in which states can better prepare for such emergency scenarios in the future," remarked NASS President Ross Miller of Nevada, who serves on the task force. "By bringing together a diverse group of Secretaries of State and independent state election chiefs, we hope to offer guidance that will improve the collective capabilities of the states." Miller named Connecticut Secretary of State Denise Merrill and Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler to lead the national task force, which includes chief state election officials from twenty-two states and the District of Columbia. Members will work with a wide array of stakeholders, including federal and state emergency management officials, as NASS develops a white paper with guidance for states.
"I am honored to be leading this timely effort aimed at increasing the ability of election officials to prepare for emergency situations," noted Louisiana Secretary of State Schedler, co-chair of the task force. "Having seen first-hand after Hurricane Katrina how natural disasters can affect variables such as polling place locations, voting lines, balloting procedures and voter outreach, we want to help states plan for what to do both before the storm, such as securing their voting machines out of harm's way, and after the storm, including how to hold an election when phone lines are down and the electricity isn't working." "In Connecticut we lived through storm-related and man-made election emergencies in each of the last three years," said Connecticut Secretary of State Merrill, co-chair of the task force. "We are eager to share what we learned, and study best practices in other states. I look forward to working with my colleagues across the country on this task force so election officials everywhere can save time and money while ensuring that as many votes as possible are counted following a disaster such as Hurricane Sandy."
The NASS Task Force on Emergency Preparedness includes the following members: Task Force Co-Chairs:
Connecticut: Denise Merrill, Secretary of State Louisiana: Tom Schedler, Secretary of State
Task Force Members:
Arkansas: Mark Martin, Secretary of State California: Debra Bowen, Secretary of State
Colorado: Scott Gessler, Secretary of State
Delaware: Elaine Manlove, Commissioner, State Election Commission District of Columbia: Clifford Tatum, Executive Director, District Board of Elections Florida: Ken Detzner, Secretary of State
Georgia: Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Illinois: Becky Glazier, Assistant to Executive Director, State Board of Elections Kentucky: Alison Lundergan Grimes, Secretary of State
Maryland: Linda Lamone, Administrator, State Board of Elections Michigan: Ruth Johnson, Secretary of State Minnesota: Mark Ritchie, Secretary of State Mississippi: Delbert Hosemann, Jr., Secretary of State Nevada: Ross Miller, Secretary of State New York: Robert Brehm & Todd Valentine, Co-Directors, State Board of Elections North Carolina: Gary Bartlett, Executive Director, State Board of Elections Oregon: Kate Brown, Secretary of State South Carolina: Marci Andino, Executive Director, State Election Commission Virginia: Donald Palmer, Secretary, State Board of Elections West Virginia: Natalie Tennant, Secretary of State Wisconsin: Kevin Kennedy, Director and General Counsel, Government Accountability Board
The task force, which will convene by conference call beginning in March, will determine the range of issues that will be researched and addressed. Emergency planning and response issues that arose due to Hurricane Sandy included emergency voting/absentee ballot procedures, state-local/municipal information-sharing and emergency communications, equipment shortages, emergency authority issues and continuity of elections. The task force's white paper is scheduled to be released early next year.
About NASS Founded in 1904, NASS is the oldest, nonpartisan professional organization of public officials in the U.S. Members include the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa and Puerto Rico. NASS serves as a medium for the exchange of information between states and fosters cooperation in the development of public policy. The association has key initiatives in the areas of elections and voting, state business services and digital archiving, international relations and state securities regulation, as well as several well-established awards programs.

- Barnidge: If BART workers strike, they shouldn't expect much sympathy
As the BART strike unfolds, two factors will play an unexpectedly outsized role in how it ends -- geography and time. Think of them as the backdrop to the drama that began Monday morning.
The crush of the 200,000 commuters who struggled to find alternate ways to work underscored the critical importance of BART to the Bay Area economy, particularly in an era of high gas prices.
Geography shapes this struggle because there are relatively few ways to cross the bay, and all of them are strained to the breaking point with BART out of service.
Ferries? Good luck getting a place. Carpools across the bridge? Plenty of long lines and sharp elbows. Driving solo? A preference for some but terribly slow. Larry Ellison's sailboat? Taken.
The unions know that no other transit shutdown could have the impact of a BART strike. Cutting the umbilical cord of the tunnel under the bay has far more impact than any suburban shutdown.
Consider what would happen if Santa Clara County's Valley Transportation Authority went on strike: Yes, people would be inconvenienced, particularly the poor.
Without a central choke point to traffic, however, there would be limited impact. The relatively few people who take transit, including yours truly, would find a way to cope without buses or the trolley.
In some ways, they'll do that with BART as well, probably by staggering work hours. Yet the very geography of the Bay Area makes it harder to find alternatives. The pain will endure.
Time matters
That brings me to the second factor, time. Time plays a role in any strike, pitting the will of workers trying to survive on strike pay against an agency under pressure to restore service.
If Gov. Jerry Brown enters the fray, the immediate pressure will be alleviated for both sides. It will not address another dimension of time -- one covering years of resentment.
One of the effects of America's long recession is that public union contracts, through no fault of employees themselves, have come to be regarded as models of excess.
As workers in the private sector were losing 401(k) matches and taking 10 percent cuts, a lot of union members in government agencies were shielded in their pensions and benefits. After all, they bargained for them.
BART workers, for example, currently contribute nothing to their pensions. And they pay only $92 a month for health care, no matter how many dependents they have.
Both of those are extraordinarily sweet deals, as anyone who has tried to price health insurance knows. The unions have been willing to make concessions here.
Political tussle
It's hard to blame BART workers who see management's offer -- the latest reported was an 8 percent raise through 2016 -- as not enough to keep up with costs.
That stance by the unions reflects a political dilemma. The Bay Area has traditionally nourished unions, particularly in government.
In public agencies, the ultimate employers are not greedy malefactors of wealth. They are taxpayers who envy the sweet deals of unions.
The politicians, traditionally friends of labor, may step in to solve this. The effect of a five-year recession on public judgment will take a much longer time to wear away.

Wilder wins with second-round knockout
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 11:39 p.m.
Heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder scored a second-round technical knockout over Matt Greer on Saturday night in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico, to improve his record to 27-0, with all 27 victories by knockout.
Wilder, of Tuscaloosa, knocked down Greer, a journeyman from St. Louis, once in the first round and twice in the second round before the fight was stopped. The final knockdown came as the result of a powerful right hand.
Greer, 35, fell to 15-9, with 13 of his victories coming by knockout.
Wilder, the 27-year-old 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, was fighting for the second time in just over a month. He knocked out previously undefeated Kelvin Price in three rounds on Showtime in mid-December.
The bout took place at Centro de Convenciones. Wilder's fight was added to the card on less than 10 days' notice. It was Wilder's third professional win in Mexico, with the previous two bouts taking place in Cancun.

Condition/use on the sleeping bags?
The sleeping bags were bought for a planned big wall climb a couple years ago that never happened. So they weren't used. They have sat in the top of my closet ever since. We have down bags we use for everything. I'm happy to send you a pic of each if you PM me your email
The Eureka bag sold

@aerikssonLocale: Austin, TX
I've put out the feelers to my girlfriend (I've felt her up? wait no that sounds wrong) to see if she'd be interested in the Rab Infinity you've got there. How's the condition? Any tears? Stains? Strange odors? Was it used in the commission of a crime?
I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from her. Any info on the jacket is of course, a plus.
Absolutely no tears or anything like that. If you look really close in good light, you might find a few pencil eraser-sized slightly darker spots on the outside shell that are of unknown origin.
I believe most of the crimes that my wife performed in this jacket were without witnesses.
@aerikssonLocale: Austin, TX
While researching the options I stumbled on the Eddie Bauer 50% off sale of their down coats. I ordered one of the First Ascent Downlight jackets for her in purple, her favorite color. Hard to argue with that, plus they offered tall sizes so even in a size S she'll hopefully get slightly longer sleeves and the ability to cover her butt more thoroughly.
Thank you for the info though and sorry for the false start. Best of luck selling it!
I'm going out of the country between Saturday, December 29 and Wednesday, January 9. So this is a last minute bump for anyone who wants one of these things before I head out. If you want anything between those dates, call dibs, and I'll get it out to you when I get back. Thanks, everybody.
PM sent with a quick question.

Conventional and moderate he was not, in life as in art, and so it is with Hector Berlioz' musical rendition of the Faust myth, which explodes all conventions and genres. Berlioz initially called his DAMNATION OF FAUST an "opera concertante", then a "dramatised legend". Ultimately, the work is one thing above all else – a grand spectacle incorporating all conceivable forms. Here we are presented with a score made up of opera, oratorio and symphonic elements, lieder, dances, marches, drinking songs, large-scale chorus pieces, a fugue parody and a quodlibet of superimposed troopers' songs. Musically speaking, a composition from the mid 19th century could hardly be more heterogeneous.
And this complexity is also a reflection of the title character himself. The world of Berlioz' Faust has ceased to be describable in a linear, unified fashion. The work gives us episodes from the life and death of a romantic, one who does not deal actively but is rather gripped in the ennui of a Lord Byron. Faust is trapped in this boredom and lethargy; nothing can tear him from it – not the crash of battle nor folklore nor anything that Mephisto can serve up in terms of musical and theatrical brouhaha.
Christian Spuck is one of the top choreographers of the younger generation. In recent years he has left his imprint as house choreographer at the Stuttgart Ballet and has been Director of Ballet at the Zurich Opera since 2012. Christian Spuck increasingly straddles the genres of opera and dance. Berlioz' DAMNATION OF FAUST, which he directs and choreographs, marks his Berlin debut.

Nice, on the Promenade des Anglais
Toulouse Lautrec painted this promenade scene in 1880 when he was only 17, the year in which he chose to become an artist and went to study art in Paris.
The figure of the driver of this carriage galloping at full speed down the Promenade des Anglais is considered to be an evocation of the artist's father.
The red and black car is a big hunting brake driven by Count Alphonse de Toulouse-Lautrec accompanied by a groom sitting on a raised back seat. The momentum of the horses runs along a diagonal line that carries the movement towards the front of the painting. The Count was a keen hippologist. He was one of the last aristocrats to practice falconry on horseback. His son Henri went on his first apprenticeship with the animal painter René Princeteau (1843-1914), who specialised in equestrian subjects painted with brisk brushstrokes. While studying with this master the young pupil cultivated this agile brush technique which conveys so well the sensation of speed and lightness that characterises his style. Before painting the portraits of Paris's café-concerts and brothels, Toulouse-Lautrec mainly drew horses. The teenager then carried out a number of studies of galloping horse-drawn carriages in Chantilly, Auteuil and Nice, inspired by English engravings and the lithographs of Dreux.

Thank you so much to everyone that has opened up their hearts. It's wonderful to know that there are people that really do care about how others are having hard times.
My husband and I really do appreciate everything! With lots of care and love to all, it's warmed our hearts to know people care. I personally am thankful for it, as well as my husband! The appreciation is welcomed.
May the Lord give back the blessing to all of you as well helping others in Henderson County.
Thank you. From our home to yours.

Thank you for the article about Fred Chaffee in your Sept. 4 issue. I have know Fred since he moved to Hendersonville and am proud to call him a friend.
While I was aware of Fred's love of traditional bluegrass music, my connection to Fred is through the Hendersonville Community Co-op, where Fred was a longtime volunteer and where he continues to be a dedicated owner and shopper.
I often run into Fred at the store, where he arrives by moped. He is always a cheerful promoter of natural foods and the payoff for all his years of a healthy lifestyle are evident in his smiling face. Way to go, Fred!

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2011, 83 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subject: Dark Comedy
Program: Reel Social ClubLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: David Zellner
Producer: Nathan ZellnerEditor: Melba JordorowskyScreenwriter: David ZellnerCinematographer: Nathan ZellnerPrincipal Cast: Sydney Aguirre, Susan Tyrell, Nathan Zellner, David Zellner
Filmmakers Nathan and David Zellner (Goliath) bring their kooky sensibilities to the screen with the story of a nearly feral 12-year-old girl and her almost catatonic goat-herding father in rural Texas. Annie is a tomboy almost out of necessity. There's food on the table, though it seems to be hard-won and not plentiful. There's a roof over her head, but she prefers to run wild in the outdoors. As if to counter the withdrawn and ill-at-ease manner of her father, Annie is brash and aggressive, but unfortunately she has no better understanding of the world or herself than he has. It's not that they're not trying to be better people, or that they've lost their moorings. They never had any to begin with, and now they're caught in an eddy of profound ignorance.
Annie pokes and prods those around her, sometimes more gently than others, testing boundaries, maybe looking for her own boundaries. She plays pranks, busts things with a baseball bat, shoots cows with a paint gun. Then one day she discovers a woman trapped in a well, and suddenly her small portfolio of skills and training fails. Her strategies aren't equal to the task, mostly because she doesn't know what the task should be. She drops food and a walkie-talkie down the well, but her conversations with the trapped woman stumble to a halt, and rescue seems out of the question. When Annie can't wrap her head around the situation, she decides simply, "Maybe you're the devil."
With an underpinning of absurdist comic moments but a tone more serious than past Zellnerian outings, Kid-Thing is an offbeat, compelling meditation on a discomfiting existence.

17 Hairstyles That Take Less Than 10 Minutes
Easy buns, twists and updos for every day of the week -- and then some
Works on:
· Any length
· Natural wave or curl
· Dirty hair -- day or two after shampooing
Stuff to have handy:
· Slim, jeweled headband
· Bobby pins
· 1/2-inch curling iron
· Shine spray
How to get this easy updo for long hair:
Step 1
Pump up any flattened or low-volume curls on top. To do this, wrap sections of hair around the barrel of a curling iron, starting at the root. (No need to get the ends or to use the clamp.)
Step 2
Loosely grab chunks of hair in back, then bobby pin and spray, tucking the ends under so you don't see straight pieces.
Step 3
Slip on a slim headband, but keep it close to your hairline. We have it about an inch or so back.
Step 4
Top with shine spray. The overall effect should be touchable and fun, not too perfect.

Do I need a credit card and if yes what type?We believe that most people should have a credit card as it is the easiest way to add positive information to your major credit reports on an ongoing basis and thereby build and maintain your credit history. Whether or not you use it depends on whether it will cause you to spend more than you would otherwise. If it does not, credit cards offer a number of advantages in that they allow you to earn rewards, pay for big-ticket purchases over time, lower the cost of existing debt through balance transfers, save on foreign currency conversion, shop online, rent cars, and easily track and manage small business spending, among many other things. Credit cards are not one size fits all. Not only does your credit standing dictate what offers you'll be able to get approved for, but different people require different terms and features from their credit cards, depending on income as well as spending and payment habits. Below you will find some general guidelines that will help steer you toward the best credit card for your particular needs.
- If you have trouble garnering credit card approval or have bad credit history, your best bet is a secured credit card.
- If you are a student, you should obviously get a student credit card.
- If you anticipate needing some extra time to pay off an upcoming big-ticket purchase, focus only on finding the best possible 0% APR credit card and ignore rewards.
- If you are currently indebted, a balance transfer credit card will enable you to pay down your balance faster
- If you pay your bill in full every month, focus your credit card comparison on maximizing the free money you bring in by identifying the best rewards credit card and ignore APRs
- If you're a small business owner, use a personal credit card for company purchases that you will not be able to pay for in full so that you can benefit from CARD Act protections. Use a business rewards credit card for everyday company expenses in order to get the enhanced expense tracking and centralized rewards earning features unique to business-branded cards. After all, small business owners are held equally liable no matter what type of card they use, according to a Card Hub study.

There was a packed house as all four candidates for Augusta mayor met for a debate. News 12 is back with views from the candidates. There were lots of questions from the audience. But perhaps the biggest question of all…where are you going to sit?
It's a good problem to have, a room for eighty at the Mayoral Candidate Debate overflowing with many more, standing room only to hear from the four at the front. One early question, how to make the sometimes long-winded Augusta Commission meetings more efficient.
"I think we need to continue to work in smaller groups and not make every committee down there a committee of the whole. I think that's some of the changes we can make as a whole," said Tommy Boyles, mayor candidate.
"During the commission meetings, we put a time limit on the responses not to put a muzzle on them, but perhaps three to five minutes to respond so we can move a lot more efficiently," said Helen Blocker-Adams, mayor candidate.
"How efficient can you be when you're sitting in eight hour meetings? Most people, if you're in a meeting that long, you're looking at your watch and you're wanting to go home to your wife and family. I think it's out of respect we should enforce those rules to allow people to have a life as well," said Deke Copenhaver, mayor candidate.
"No surprises from me, I bring you none. Do your thing on Monday, the chair's in charge on Tuesday. We've been out between 5-5:30 and that's with some commissioners coming to me 40 minutes late," said Willie Mays, Interim Mayor/candidate.
More than an hour's worth of audience questions about unfinished SPLOST projects, taxes, and retaining city employees. Some in the audience already know who they'll pick in the election. But others are making a final decision on this night.
"It was very enlightening on what they had to say and it made me make a straight decision on who I was gonna vote for in the election," said Emma Brown, voter.
But one other, ducking out early…
"Some answers you get all the time. Ain't gonna do nothing, none of them," a voter said.
The mayor's election is just six weeks away on November 8 and this is a special election. The winner is mayor for only a year. The election will fill the vacated spot left by former mayor Bob Young. The term for this election lasts through the end of 2006.

ASA Newsroom > Which Industries Employ Statisticians?
Philip Kotler and Gary Armstrong, in Principles of Marketing, defined marketing as "the business function that identifies customer needs and wants; determines which target markets the organization can serve best; and designs appropriate products, services, and programs to serve these markets. … The goal of marketing is to create customer satisfaction profitably by building value-laden relationships with important customers."
How Does Statistics Fit Into This Picture?
If everyone's needs, wants, desires, preferences, and expectations were the same, then marketing would be easy. The chief executive officer could simply design products to meet his or her own needs-everyone would like whatever the CEO likes.
Modern customers demand more from products and services, which must be customized to satisfy individual tastes and preferences. For example, computer buyers have different preferences for speed, memory, screen size, and multimedia options. Some customers are more sensitive to price, promotions, and advertising. Customers use different media to collect information about computers and different channels (retail stores or the Internet) to make a purchase.
Statistics is used to quantify the extent of variation in customers' needs and wants.
Following are some marketing research methods for collecting information:
- Focus Groups - A small group of customers meets with a facilitator who leads a discussion about their needs and product features. Focus groups provide in-depth, unstructured information that is often used in designing more formal surveys or experiments.
- Sample Surveys - Sample surveys provide a structured method for collecting customers' needs, wants, and expectations by having participants respond to a battery of items. Surveys are conducted by mail, over the phone or Internet, and at malls.
- Designed Experiments - Subjects experience new products or services under controlled, laboratory conditions.
- Field Experiments and Test Markets - Companies isolate a small city to test the acceptance of a new product or manipulate marketing variables, such as price or advertisements, to determine customers' response to a product and marketing effort.
- Transaction Data - Information technology provides the ability to record information at the point of sale. This information includes not only product features but also information about the customer.
Statistical methods are a critical component to understanding your customer.

2009/10 results – rising costs and flat revenues
The future – a buyer and a new ground?
"Tirelessly to find that rich and generous benefactor."
"Tirelessly to find that rich and generous benefactor."
Much thanks for this well-written & precise piece about the current Financial nightmare which my beloved Everton FC is in the midst of.
I wish your piece would eventually open up more the eyes and minds of some of my fellow (and more influential) Evertonians, who chose not to believe that the current business model of the club needs to be changed, and a better long term strategy to be put in place, to prevent a deja vu of Leeds & Portsmouth.
- Dupont Koo
A first rate analysis and exposition.
As you correctly point out, operating cash flow is insufficient to service the existing debt and this can have only one outcome.
In the absence of a sale and recapitalisation Everton has to make major net sales of players this summer to pay down its debt.
I disagree with you about the stadium. Everton's potential materially to increase the number of bums on seats or the revenue per bum is too limited to provide a meaningful solution at this stage.
Interest Payments
I am amazed by the rate of interest we are paying, approx 10%. Is it possible for this to be refinanced at a better rate. 4.5M pa is a lot of interest.
2011 Accounts
With Bellefield sold, 8M will be written off the debt (we are due to repay 11M).
The 3 player loans (Yakubu,Vaughan & Yobo) & the sale of Pienaar will also reduce wages. The club is already moving to reduce costs & service the debt. So better figures are to be expected in relation to cost but what about revenue?
Anonymous @ 13.07
The interest rate is quite high. Although it only appears to be 105 because you are looking at year end debt figures. The debt will be at its lowest in June because of the seasonality of football club cash flow.
These are the numbers given in the accounts: £25.6m of the debt are the securitised loan notes taken out in 2002 at a fixed rate of 7.79%. That can't be changed. Bank loans pay 4.25%. No rate is given for the OD.
Looking at this year, you're right that the Bellefield cash will help the club cover the debt repayment. The players sales and loans you mention will also help.
On the revenue side, the club (in common with all PL clubs) will receive c. £5m extra in TV money from the international rights deal. Obviously no cup runs this year.....
I enjoy your blog but disagree with your assessment that Everton are a well run club. The commercial arm is woeful with a return of £8m, Everton have a wide fan base in the North-West and Wales and this is clearly not being tapped into.
The toffees do have an excellent youth set-up though. I know a talented Manchester kid who would rather train with Everton at their set-up at Wilmslow rather than United at the Cliff.
Glazers out (just a matter of time in my opinion).
Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon.
Kenny Chesney Tickets
How are Everton "struggling"? They are a solid, upper-mid-table club who are maybe spending a little bit more money than they should, in pursuit of success. If this continues they may have to do some cost cutting. Which might harm their on-field ambitions.
Well that's football. Running a football club (or any business) is a tricky balancing act. This doesn't mean there is something wrong with the game.
Everton don't quite have the fanbase to be one of the very top clubs anymore than City do. Like City they would need a rich benefactor (but this will soon be outlawed anyway).
But again what exactly is supposed to be the problem here?

Annette Bosworth Is Having a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
By Adam Auriemma
On Monday, Annette Bosworth was a potential candidate for the U.S. Senate, making a name for herself in a crowded five-way South Dakota GOP primary despite only a longshot chance of pulling out a win.
By Tuesday evening, she had not only lost her race, but lost it in an awkward fashion, with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly breaking the news to her on the air.
"Well, that's news to me," Dr. Bosworth replied. "I didn't know that… I found out on national television." She won 6% of the vote, placing fourth.
And then she was arrested.
South Dakota officials say Dr. Bosworth, a physician, signed oaths that she was gathering voter signatures in person in January when she was actually on a Christian mission trip in the Philippines. She has been charged with six counts of perjury and six counts of filing false documents related to election campaign law, according to the Associated Press.
Dr. Bosworth turned herself in to the authorities the morning after losing her Senate bid and was released shortly after. In a statement, she called the charges a "political prosecution." She said she had hundreds more signatures than she needed to get on the ballot, and that they were collected in good faith.
The declining fortunes of Dr. Bosworth wrap up a tough run for the candidate. Dr. Bosworth had previously made national headlines — and drawn heavy criticism — for sharing a Facebook post that appeared to liken food-stamp recipients to wild animals. (She said the comparison was meant to be "tongue in cheek.")
In her election-night interview on Fox News, Dr. Bosworth said she would support the Republican primary winner, former South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds, so that her party can send the current Senate leader, Democrat Harry Reid, "to the curb."

The 'Peg, Manitoba's capital, holds its own against Canada's bigger cities as a thriving center of arts, dance, and music. It is home of the famed Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir, and Winnipeg Folk Festival, preparing to celebrate its 40th year. But this provincial center is also fast becoming a hub for new restaurants with signature twists on traditional fare, an eclectic club scene, and increasingly popular special events rocking a distinctly Winnipeg flavor.
Still, for locals Winnipeg is first and foremost a river city, says mixed-media artist Jo'Anne Kelly, who has lived here most of her life. "Three beautiful rivers—the Red, the Assiniboine, and the Seine—flow through the neighborhoods and have their confluence in the very heart of Winnipeg," she says. "I have a studio that looks out over the riverbanks, providing artistic inspiration all the seasons of the year." Adds local filmmaker Stephan Recksiedler, "Musicians, chefs, dancers, painters, and filmmakers from around the country find their voice and support in Winnipeg."
When to Go: In early July, more than 57,000 people gather in Birds Hill Provincial Park for the five-day Winnipeg Folk Festival. Camp onsite (and join in the late-night campground sing-alongs and drum jam sessions), purchase locally crafted arts and crafts at the Hand-Made Village, and listen to outdoor concerts on eight daytime stages, plus evening headliner shows. Later in the month, pack a picnic and spread a blanket in Assiniboine Park to watch the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's free Ballet in the Park.
How to Get Around: Winnipeg Transit offers a free bus service called the Spirit Bus, with regular stops at major attractions, shopping, and entertainment spots. If the heat (or cold) is too much to bear, a 1.2-mile, indoor walkway system runs through the heart of downtown. The Winnipeg Folk Festival runs its own Festival Express, free for wristband holders.
Where to Stay: Across from Union Station is Winnipeg's most iconic hotel, the Fort Garry. Built in 1913, this national historic site has hosted guests like Liberace, Louis Armstrong, and Laurence Olivier. Fort Garry's grand exterior recalls the city's glory days as one of North America's most important transport hubs. Another option is the Fairmont Winnipeg, an unimpressive Soviet-looking building that nonetheless boasts Fairmont's world-class service and amenities.
What to Eat or Drink: Located in the hip South Osborne Street neighborhood, Bistro 7¼ is a small, busy eatery with an action-packed open kitchen and "French-inspired comfort food," including eight varieties of moules et frites and small plates. Mise serves up "haute prairie cuisine"—such as maple chipotle salmon with watermelon mint and sour cherry yogurt, sourced from local suppliers. Downtown's Peasant Cookery is known for its exceptional tortière (Canadian meat pie).
What to Watch Before You Go: Director Guy Maddin's critically acclaimed iconoclastic, quirky film My Winnipeg (2007) is a tribute to his hometown in the form of a black-and-white self-described "docu-fantasia" featuring actors playing members of his family and Maddin's mother playing herself.
What to Read Before You Go: Ravenscraig by Sandi Krawchenko Altner (Franklin & Gallagher, 2012), an epic family drama set in Winnipeg at the turn of the 20th century, won the 2012 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award for "contributing to the appreciation and understanding" of the city.
What to Buy: Head to The Forks, a popular food market and public space, for a fresh-baked beavertail. (Don't worry; no beavers were harmed in the making of this sugarcoated pastry.) The Wayne Arthur Gallery displays and sells paintings, sculptures, pottery, prints, and jewelry from more than 130 Manitoban artists. Or create a custom In Plain View Winnipeg art tour itinerary to visit local artists in their studios, learn about their craft, and purchase original works.

Fun Facts: Ian Fleming wrote that Winnipegger and World War II superspy William Stephenson, whose code name was Intrepid, was his inspiration for James Bond. And during World War I, a local soldier named Harry Colebourne brought a black bear to London for his regiment's mascot, inspiring yet another fictional legend: Winnie the Pooh.
