By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Chickenpox is a common viral infection that most people suffer from during childhood. Children younger than 10 years are the most susceptible to chickenpox but it can also occur in adulthood. However, when an adult contracts the disease, symptoms may be more severe, with a higher risk of complication.
Chickenpox is caused by varicella-zoster, a highly contagious virus that can be transmitted through the air on sneezing and coughing. Winter and Spring months are the most common periods for the disease to spread but it can affect people at any time of the year.
Once a person has been ill with chickenpox, they develop immunity against the virus and are unlikely to be reinfected with the disease again in their lifetime. In rare cases, chickenpox can be caught a second time but this is most likely to occur among those with decreased immunity such as individuals with HIV or patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The disease is typically characterized by a rash of red and itchy spots that eventually form blisters. Most patients also develop mild to high grade fever. Usually, the rash initially develops over the torso but may spread to the face, scalp, mouth, nostrils, eyes and almost all the mucosal surfaces within the mouth and throat. The blisters dry out within 5 to 7 days and form scabs or crusts, which may eventually be shed.
Complications such as secondary bacterial infections are rare but are most common among pregnant women, infants, and elderly individuals. Such infections may be treated using antibiotics. Adults who contract chickenpox are more likely to require anti-viral medications such as acyclovir due to the more severe nature of the disease course during this phase of life.
Chickenpox is usually diagnosed on evaluation of clinical symptoms, when the presence of chickenpox blisters is confirmed.
To prevent a child from spreading chickenpox, they are kept away from other children, pregnant women and the elderly, all of whom are more susceptible to the infection and its complications. The illness may last until all the blisters have dried up and turned into crusts, which usually happens after one to two weeks.
Medications such as paracetamol may be used to relieve fever and calamine lotion can ease itching. Aspirin should be avoided in children younger than 12 years due to the possible risk of Reye's syndrome, which can cause severe organ damage, particularly to the liver and brain.
People can be vaccinated against chickenpox to protect against the virus. However, this is not practiced as part of routine childhood vaccination but is used more to protect high risk individuals who are vulnerable to the infection and its complications.

C = Cactus: A to Z Blogging Challenge
Saguaro are large tree-like cacti that develop arms as they age. They have white flowers that form a crown at the top of each column or arm and have been named the state flower. They are found exclusively in the Sonoran Desert. It is estimated they live as much as 150-200 years. They grow extremely slow but can reach as tall as 60 feet. Arizona has strict laws against harming or digging up the saguaro.
The ribs of a dead saguaro are used to make fences and furniture.

oh i love cactus--i used to have lots of house plants and when i looked at my cactus, i immediately felt summer :)ReplyDeleteReplies
The best thing about cacti is they are around year 'round. I love the spring when they bloom though.Delete
I love saguaro cactus. My favorite part of the drive from Phoenix to Prescott on Hwy 17 was around Black Canyon city where you see lots of Saguaro's. Like they are waving at you.ReplyDeleteReplies
What a great way to describe Saguaros. Thanks again for visiting.Delete
I lived in AZ for many years and both my kids were born in Phoenix. I esp. love the White Tank mountains.ReplyDelete

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (7 votes).
In short: Pukka,Well done the organisers.In full: Good run,well organised by friendly marshalls.Lovely scenic run through the woods.A little demoralising when you see the herd of faster runners coming at you when you're slogging away at the incline.Enough runners to keep the competative streak in you happy,but not too many to turn it into a stampede.A cracking cuppa at the end and a banana,what more could you ask for?Glad I wore trainers though!!Date of review: October 13, 2012
In short: Great Trail race, first one I have done barefoot!In full: I did this race last year really on a whim, little training but really enjoyed it! This year just as good! Organised really well and I would recommend to my barefooted friends as it is definately a beautiful setting and running barefoot along a roman road humbles you!! Hope this event continues to grow from strength to strength and would do more of these OVERRUN Events again!!Thanks!!Date of review: October 13, 2012
In short: Nice trail run but needed more marshalsIn full: Enjoyable trail run (well done to the bare-foot runner!) but there were a couple of places where runners were unsure of the way - people were wandering off onto the wrong trail - so a few more marshals or arrows would be good. Nice race though.Date of review: October 13, 2012
In short: Yes, that's a hill! Not seen one of those before.In full: Extremely friendly and helpful marshals and staff who registered me despite not finding my details on the list.The hilly bits were a rare experience in Cambridgeshire so the tea and bikkies at the end felt well deserved. This was my first commercial race and I am already thinking about doing another with the same organisers.My worst nit pick was that they could get someone with a bit more design flair to do the medal and t shirt, but tastes vary!Date of review: November 27, 2011
In short: Excellent! Look forward to more events!! A great day!In full: Really Enjoyed the day! Well organised (1st event for these organisers so great start) Tougher than expected as they found the only hill in Cambridgeshire but satisfying to say the least! Will look forward to this event in the future! Date of review: November 26, 2011
In short: Well organised, challenging race on a beautiful courseDate of review: November 26, 2011
In short: Lovely Autumn race, very friendlyIn full: Hillier than I expected, given that it is just outside Cambridge! I was initially a bit concerned about how organised it was going to be (signing up just involved paying via paypal, with no confirmation email/pack) but my fears were unfounded. Very friendly organisers, smooth registration, well-marked course, brilliant atmosphere at the finish with lots of supporters. Lovely scenery. Date of review: November 26, 2011

American mammoth donkey
- American mammoth redirects here. For the extinct elephant-like animal, see mammoth.
The American mammoth donkey, commonly known as the mammoth jack, American mammoth or American mammoth jack is a landrace of North American donkey, descended from multiple breeds of donkey imported to the United States. Breeds that influenced the mammoth jack include the Maltese donkey, Poitou donkey (itself also sometimes called the mammoth donkey), Andalusian donkey, Majorcan donkey and Catalan donkeys.[1] Males, called jacks, must be at least 14 hands (56 inches, 142 cm) and females, called jennies or jennets must be at least 13.2 hands (54 inches, 137 cm).[2][3]
Purebred and pedigreed specimens of the variety that conform to a published standard of characteristics are considered a formal breed, registered with the American Mammoth Jackstock Registry, commonly called by various names including American Mammoth Jackstock',[4] Mammoth Jack stock and Mammoth Jack. These breed designations may encompass females.

What is the point to this?
Does anyone know?
What the *blank* is Yoko doing this for?
I heard this AM that Mind Games has been rereleased in a "new" remixed form.
I just don't get it. I love John very much, but most of Mind Games is not good. In Fact some it is poor.
Are these endless remixed albums of John's selling at all?
I ain't buying them. I have a Lennon box set that came out years ago.
Not the lame named Anthology- before that. I've got everything already and I am not interested in Yoko's feeble attempts to make more money in this pointless undertaking.
She should release John's unreleased work. The Lost Lennon Tapes still haven't been released and it's been years. I've got lots of old cassette tapes from the radio shows. I wish she'd stop this garbage.
She just invites negative comment.

Tomorrow is the big day for Obamacare, despite the fact that even the Obama Administration admits it's "glitchy." The president is cheerleading the program, reminding us that he's been right all along:
Reforming health care will help the economy over the long-term," by curing health-care costs and free individuals to start small companies, he said.
Through his speech, Obama ridiculed critics of his plan, which imposes far-reaching federal requirements on one-sixth of the nation's economy. (more…)

Ryan 'Fucking' Giggs, he will tear you apart! What a beauty of a goal.
i'm fuuuucking pissed. we shut out the best attacking side in the world (on par with barca), then let some slack defending. what the fuck were cole, then parker doing, diving into tackles like that. scotty parker is top class but was poor for the goal. agreed, shouldve been a penalty but otherwise we completely eradicated the threat of ronaldo.
in other news, chelsea are shite and arsenal are the most overrated team atm. chelsea couldn't hit a barndoor with a bulldozer and arsenal are lacking real power in the side. amazing how arsene has changed from liking his powerful players (petit/viera etc) to liking little-uns (nasri, fabregas). he looked at spain in the summer and his eyes lit up, thinking he could win the premiership like spain won the euros. difference is, spains little-uns were the likes of xavi, iniesta, david silva, david villa, who are lightyears ahead of denilson, nasri, adebayor, eboue etc.
chelsea need a david villa or a player of similar quality to get them poached goals, anelka is returning to his 'le sulk' character and drogba obviously doesn't want to be there.
aston villa are the second best side in the league on current form and deserve their CL place. they could challenge united next year if they hold onto key players (barry/gabby/ashley young) and make a few good signings.
liverpool will struggle without gerrard and if torres gets hurt again they are screwed after selling keane. they will need kuyt to score them some goals as babel/ngog are shocking.
I was absolutely disgusted with Arsenal's performance today, and especially Eboue. What does Wenger see in him? He's absolutely useless and let his team down. One point isn't enough to get top four and Champion's League. And why did Wenger move Denilson out of his natural position when he was already having a mediocre performance? I was waiting for Arshavin! I'm completely disappointed with the Arse this year.
....on the bright side, Bayern Munich won. Haha
i'm fuuuucking pissed. we shut out the best attacking side in the world (on par with barca), then let some slack defending. what the fuck were cole, then parker doing, diving into tackles like that. scotty parker is top class but was poor for the goal. agreed, shouldve been a penalty but otherwise we completely eradicated the threat of ronaldo.
his time is coming. if he doesn't get control of liverpool like he wants most likely he'll just quit or get fired
lol eradicate the ronaldo threat? were we watching the same match? i think ronaldo lost the ball ONCE the whole game....fucking west ham was double teaming sometimes even triple teaming him.... he still made them look like fools...scot parker top class? wow ok no he isn't because if he was he would've been more effective in the midfield.... did u see him get destroyed by vidic?? fuck you i don't care how many games you've been to, how long you've played, or even if you're from fucking london england, you are a complete idiot for saying this
oh dannnng. behrami and neill did exactly what they should do, give ronaldo no space. we have seen what ronaldo does with space; destroys teams. i'm sorry if you wanted to see us get destroyed but zola and (especially) clarke played ronaldo the right way. we defended top class all game until the giggs goal (chelseas loss in steve clarke is our gain, hes turned us into a real defensive force, just watch us against l'pool and arsenal). giggs goal was a lack of concentration by cole and parker, fair enough.
and i don't care what you say about parker, he is a top midfielder. there is a reason man city wanted him; he allows the rest of the team to do their stuff because he holds the fortress. he puts big tackles in, wins a lot of ball to give to the more flair players. he was class at charlton (broke into the england squad at a young age for an unfashionable side), good at chelsea despite no chances and captain at newcastle within a year.
noone gives west ham any fucking credit. stupid, cause end of the day we're on the up when chelsea and arsenal are on the down.
ur defense didn't do anything fucking new u idiot .... you packed and overloaded the middle and kept 5 defenders back at all times...defended top class give me a fucking break lol at you being proud of a 1-0 result yall got totally dominated with possession.... as for scot parker he is an average midfielder in the EPL.... i would take nicky butt or kevin nolan over him anyday
Hiddink for Chelsea is official. I hope hee failz cuz I don't likes Chelsea
My desires exactly. Hell, as long as Villa keep getting lucky, I'm satisfied
liverpool overhaul united

Topic: TextMate - Crosshair?
Hello! I've seen on several different Railscasts when the cursor turns into a crosshair, and you can select several portions, going on several lines, then edit them all. For example, I have the following code:
1. weee
2. wooo
Then, using the crosshair, I select these parts (bolded):
1. weee
2. wooo
Then I can do anything, change the text, delete it all, etc. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

"UMass Lowell provides me with the tools and resources to jumpstart my education and my future."
According to Rebecca Farnham, you don't need to travel far to get a world-class education. As the Lowell native says, "I wanted an excellent education close to home and didn't have to look much farther than my own backyard. I knew UMass Lowell would provide me with the tools and resources I needed in order to jumpstart my education and my future."
However, she did travel far. Farnham was one of fifteen music students from around the United States selected to participate in an exclusive opera program in Verona, Italy. While there, she studied under famous vocal coaches and opera stars, and even got to appear onstage. As part of her studies, the fluent French speaker also took Italian lessons each day.
"Being at UMass Lowell has afforded me a fantastic musical education," says this University Scholar, who is on a full scholarship. She names Prof. Timothy Crain of the Music Department as a mentor. "He's taught me to be an independent thinker, that hard work always pays off, and inspires me to approach every aspect of my life with this attitude," she says. "It is worth coming to UMass Lowell just to learn from him!"
While studying in Italy was an experience second to none, there were certain things she missed about campus. "I loved Italy, but missed the available practice rooms, and computer lab in Durgin Hall," she says. "WiFi is really hard to come by overseas, and it certainly makes you appreciate the technology available on campus."
With a bright future ahead, Farnham is looking forward to performing opera, hoping some day to grace the stage of the Vienna Opera House. "The possibilities are endless, and I know that the education I've received at UMass Lowell will take me anywhere I want to go!"

In this article I am going to test eight new power supplies that have one thing in common. They are all high-wattage boxed models, 400W and higher, that are meant to be sold in retail right into the hands of the end-users. To be exact, there are tests of nine units in this review because I retested the Foxconn WinFast FA-550A model covered in a previous article. The reasons will be explained below.
Enermax Noisetaker EG495AX-VE(W) (485W)
Lacking any decorations like LEDs, intricately-shaped fan grids, etc., the Noisetaker EG495AX-VE still looks pretty enough, mainly due to the coloring of the case. The photograph can't convey it in full, but the PSU is not merely violet. Tiny spangles were added into the paint and they shimmer in light very beautifully.
The design of the PSU is standard otherwise. Well, Enermax is not counted among experimenting firms and prefers to focus on the electrical parameters of a PSU rather than on its outward appearance. Take note, however, of the fan speed control knob near the On/Off switch and the filter on the PSU's output:
It is an ordinary ferrite ring inside a plastic casing. This filter doesn't play any crucial part in minimizing the voltage ripple on the PSU's output, yet it does suppress some high-frequency noise. You may have seen this solution already. For example, a ferrite ring is also put on the output cables of the FSP FSP460-60PFN unit. The graphics card cable of some power supplies from OCZ wears such a ring with a couple of capacitors, too.
The internal design is standard, following the classic circuit schematic with group voltage regulation and active power factor correction. There is nothing here I could find any fault with. Everything is neat and tidy.
This model has the typical characteristics of an ATX12V 2.0 power supply (this industry standard doesn't describe models with an output power of over 400W, so you have to extrapolate). The +12V rail is "virtually" divided in two as is done in the absolute majority of new PC power supplies. In other words, there is only one power rail inside the power supply and its load current is up to 32A, but there are two separate current limiters, 18A each, set up on the PSU's output. I already wrote in my reviews about the reasons why the sum of the max currents on the 12V1 and 12V2 rails is bigger than the total current on the +12V rail: this power rail is split in two only to comply with the EN-60950 safety regulation which states that the maximum output power on user-accessible contacts must not exceed 240VA (that is, the current must not be higher than 20A at 12V voltage; the protection is set at 18A for a small safety margin). Of course, it is logical to set the current limit higher for each of the 12V rails, i.e. at 18A, to provide more flexibility in load distribution across the PSU's outputs.
This power supply offers you the following cables and connectors:
- Mainboard cable with a 24-pin connector (with a detachable 4-pin part), 58cm long
- ATX12V cable with a 4-pin connector, 57cm long
- Graphics card cable with a 6-pin connector, 57cm long
- Two cables with two Molex connectors and one mini-plug for the floppy drive (45cm from the PSU to the first connector and 13cm more to each next connector)
- One cable with three Molex connectors (63cm from the PSU to the first connector and 13cm more to each next connector)
- Two cables with two SATA power connectors on each, 48cm from the PSU to the first plug and 15cm more to the next connector
- 80mm fan's tachometer cable which allows controlling the fan speed through the mainboard's monitoring tools

What sort of flavors do you find most desirable in older puerh? I'm not talking about what the markets says matters, but what do you personally love best?
For me there are a few things:
1. Positive mustiness. This is more a smell than a taste, though the taste aspect is rather bland, slightly bitter, and very smooth. The smell is very much like the smell of dusty books, it's an old smell and triggers many positive emotions for me. To me negative mustiness is more organic, the cleanness of this is what makes it enjoyable rather than gross.
2. Pepper. Not spicy pepers, but rather something like black pepper, this is always very faint and part of the first few sips, fading in later infusions. This is a tingle all over the inside of the mouth and even the throat.
3. Plums, this is more of a taste than a smell and round sweet taste, like, plum pudding.
4. The bark of a big tree in a old forest after a rain storm. This is similar to #1, but more organic without becoming gross-organic. I find this taste is more common an not too hard to find, yet I still really like it!
5. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. (just kidding, though making such a list reminds me of that song)
What are you most sought after flavor-notes?

Fordham's Jen Mineau named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced today that Fordham's Jen Mineau (Schaghticoke, N.Y.) has been named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week for the week of April 25-May 1. Mineau led Fordham to a 7-0 record on the week, throwing 33.0 innings of scoreless softball.
In a week that saw the Rams go a perfect 7-0 and clinch the 2011 regular season Atlantic 10 conference title, Mineau started and completed five of the seven contests. She posted a 0.00 ERA while striking out 49 batters and walking just four. She posted a 12-1 strikeout to walk ratio in Week 12.
"It was gratifying to be successful and help the team capture the regular season title. It's an honor to be recognized for my efforts," said Mineau. The highlight of her week came when she tossed a perfect game against St. Peter's on April 27. In the 9-0 Fordham win, Mineau fanned 12 of 15 batters faced, and didn't let a ball leave the infield.
"Jen was a difference maker this past week. She dominated on the mound and helped us win the regular season title," said Fordham Head Coach Bridget Orchard. "She is deserving of the award. The tougher competition got, the tougher she got."
She was also named the Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Week for her efforts. This is the first-time Mineau has been honored as the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
Rest is the most appropriate way to allow your brain to recover from a concussion. Your doctor will recommend that you physically and mentally rest to recover from a concussion.
This means avoiding general physical exertion, including sports or any vigorous activities, until you have no symptoms.
This rest also includes limiting activities that require thinking and mental concentration, such as playing video games, watching TV, schoolwork, reading, texting or using a computer.
Your doctor may recommend that you have shortened school day or workdays, take breaks during the day, or have reduced school workloads or work assignments as you recover from a concussion.
As your symptoms improve, you may gradually add more activities that involve thinking, such as doing more schoolwork or work assignments, or increasing your time spent at school or work.
For headaches, try taking a pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Avoid other pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and aspirin, as there's a possibility these medications may increase the risk of bleeding.
If you or your child sustained a concussion while playing competitive sports, ask your doctor or your child's doctor when it is safe to return to play. Resuming sports too soon increases the risk of a second concussion and of lasting, potentially fatal brain injury.
Evidence is emerging that some people who have had multiple concussions over the course of their lives are at greater risk of developing lasting, and even progressive, impairment that limits their ability to function.
No one should return to play or vigorous activity while signs or symptoms of a concussion are present.
Experts recommend that adults, children and adolescents not return to play on the same day as the injury.

Hamline chased playoff-bound St. Mary's all over the Hutton Arena court all Wednesday night. They forced 17 turnovers and sent the league's 11th-rated team in Free Throw Percentage to the line 22 times. But the Cardinals, who entered the game with a .665, hit 21 of their freebies and that was enough to deal Hamline a 60-56 defeat Wednesday. Steph Pilgrim led Hamline with 16 points while Rachel Usgaard (who tied her season high) and Jordan Sammons added 10 each. Je'Naya Brown added seven steals and six assists but it couldn't offset the Cardinals' edge in Free Throws and a 46-31 Rebounding advantage. Hamline started briskly, jumping to a 19-8 first half advantage. SMU, however, came back to cut the margin to 28-26 at intermission. The Cardinals started the second half hot and quickly mounted a 11-point lead with 12:22 left. HU, however, had gas in the tank and began to chip away. A Sammons three-point play knotted the game at 54 with two minutes to play.. But SMU hit six Free Throws in the last two minutes to gain the victory. Hamline is now 7-17 overall, 6-15 in the MIAC. They close out the season Saturday at Macalester. Game time is 1:00 p.m. Box Score

"they say David Gill referred to net spend excluding the Ronaldo cash (in bank). Glazers: £27.2m a year vs. £16.3m 99-05"
Wednesday, 9 March 2011
Update on David Gill's misleading comments to Parliament
18 comments:
The so called "Net spend" is irrelevant. You dont need to spend for the sake of spending just so to increase the 'net spend'. We have bought a few bargains who today are World class players like Vidic, Evra, Hernandez, etc. What is important is we buy players who 1. Fit our sytem of play 2. Improve team performance. As long as the team wins trophies we have have a Net Spend of zero anyime
- 9 March 2011 at 14:43
- andersred said...
I'm not fussed about net spend OR gross spend per se, like you say it's results that count. Gill thinks it is important to stress that net spend hasn't been impacted debt levels and in making that point was extremely disingenuous. That's the point.
PS. Have you seen our midfield recently? We've gone sharply backwards since Moscow 2008. We need some net spend....
- 9 March 2011 at 14:48
- Diem said...
it's a shame that Carrick just seems to be going backwards. If he'd turned out to be top tier I know I'd be much less concerned about midfield.
- 9 March 2011 at 15:15
whichever way you look at it the Glazers/Gill are taking us for absolute fools, what is scandalous is this statement was made in front of a select committee so he is taking them for idiots as well. This is a simple reflection of the way the Glazers have frightening control over this club and their employees are encouraged/forced to be 'economical'with the truth
- 9 March 2011 at 15:36
- strapworld said...
He who pays the pipers calls the tune.
Gill has proved he has been bought lock stock and barrel by the Glazers. If the club gets new buyers he has to be the first in the queue for the P45.
Excellent article.
- 9 March 2011 at 16:41
Laughable that the glazerites always want to remove the Ronaldo fee when talking about spending. I'm pretty sure we did sell the lad. Yep, I would definitely notice if he was still playing for us.
Anyway, when comparing spending I think it's important to also consider how much we were spending on stadium expansion, and the building of Carrington of course, pre-Glazer. It must have been an average of at least £15m per season in the 10 years pre-Glazer surely?
Some boxes have been tarted up since the takeover.
The best measure to compare PLC v Glazer would be to calculate what % of profits was reinvested in the club (transfers & stadium/infrastructure) before and after. I imagine that would be quite telling.
- 9 March 2011 at 18:25
I am pretty sure that the plc spent in excess of £150m (in old money) on infrastructure since 1992. I think there is a link somewhere on the blog to a presentation detailing the spend..
Perhaps Anders can provide a link.
- 9 March 2011 at 19:55
- Eugene said...
Anders, do you know whether any supporters groups will be presenting to the committee? I get the impression that Gill, Coates, Quinn etc showed up and had a swing at the FA (easy target) but then unanimously said everything was great at their respective clubs and that there were no issues with the Premier League. Talk about a whitewash. It would be great if MUST or IMUSA had an opportunity to rebut Gill's nonsense but it doesn't look like they've been asked to present.
- 9 March 2011 at 23:42
It is of course reasonable to suggest that the aim of a football club should be success rather than outspending their rivals, but it is also true that success and failure rarely flow directly or immediately from either investment or a lack there of. It should not be surprising if a failure to invest does not immediately lead to failure on the pitch, particularly as it's possible to maintain the core of a competitive squad for at least five years, if not longer. And, of course, success, failure, and investment, etc, are all fairly relative terms, anyway.
Also, let's say, for example, that United were to make £10bn in profit every season (a clearly absurd amount) and that all other clubs were making the same as they currently do now, would anyone really be happy if we spent the absolute minimal amount to maintain the same level of success as we currently achieve and the rest of that profit was used for non-football related matters? I would suggest not, which tells me that we can't simply use any level of success as the sole indicator of whether spending is sufficient.
Even if a club won the quadruple every season, for example, it would still be reasonable, imo, to expect transfer spending to be partially relative to income. That is particularly true in the modern age where the price of football has risen dramatically, which has forced many football fans to choose between their love of the club and other, some might suggest, more important things. As I've argued elsewhere, football clubs can't have it both ways. They can't -- or at least they shouldn't be allowed to -- move to an economic model that is indistinguishable from that of any other area of the market, while at the same time, expecting the kind of loyalty from their customers that no other area of the market currently enjoys. That, imo, is a recipe for exploitation, as is the fact that few if any football fans would be willing to change team based on price or quality, as we all do in pretty much every other area of the market without even a moments thought.
Those who defend the Glazers rightly point to the lack of evidence that Sir Alex has been restricted in his spending, but what they cannot deny is that at least half of the clubs profits each season are unavailable to the manager even if he wanted to use them, and that his approach to the transfer market -- both evident in his recent activity and his own words -- has subtely changed in recent seasons.
Rather than deliberately restricted, it's entirely possible that his knowledge of the clubs financial situation has persuaded him that he needs to be a lot more careful with the money that he does spend. I suppose that is not necessarily a bad thing, but as the transfer market is a notoriously risky place to spend money, it may have persuaded him that it isn't worth taking the risk of spending large sums on one player, for example. Arsene Wenger appears to agree, and we can all see the effect that kind of prudent approach can have over time.
Another point that is often overlooked by those who defend the Glazers is that our current levels of success have required what is commonly considered to be the greatest manager of all time to achieve -- someone with 20 years worth of experience and success, and an intimate knowledge of the club and its traditions.
Finally, any comparison of spending should also include both the inflation of transfer fees, as well as the clubs ability to actually pay for transfers (i.e. the almost doubling of turnover). If the average price of a transfer has increased, it should not be unreasonable to expect that to be reflected in transfer spending. Otherwise, it is possible to argue that the decline in spending is actually much greater than the figures imply. And the same can be said with regard to turnover. As far as I am aware, the club has doubled its turnover since the arrival of the Glazers. Given that the clubs own accounts show that transfer spending has actually decreased in that time, that is very damning evidence indeed.

Hi Anonymous at 11:24
I wrote about Forbes estimate of the Glazers' wealth here:
Not much has changed....
- 10 March 2011 at 11:38
Cheers andy but why does it seem they are growing richer if there business interests are all in property as you have dealt with before,Explain that
- 10 March 2011 at 11:49
Any Further update on the postion of First Allied Corporation??
- 10 March 2011 at 11:53
- andersred said...
I don't trust the Forbes numbers as I've explained before. The Glazers' net worth hasn't moved since September 2010 (it was $2.6bn then as well).
First Allied is still trading badly and 2012 will be a crunch year as lots of mortgage deals roll off.
The Glazers' finances are opaque, but the one thing that is crystal clear is that nobody, Forbes or otherwise, can point to where they could have got $400m from in cash to repay the PIKs. Unless it was more debt.
- 10 March 2011 at 12:01
Anders, have you previously compared the overall net investment in MUFC (squad, ground, youth/other facilities etc) before and after the takeover, in relation to either turnover or gross profit.
I suspect the results would be pretty damning.
- 10 March 2011 at 12:35
perhaps Andy you could take us inside the Glazer Family Property Interests again.It has been some time sine you last mentioned this part of the Glazer Empire
- 10 March 2011 at 13:45
Anders - May be we should buy another Veron. That would put us ahead in both net spend and midfield at the same time. :)

For those asking about net and gross spending as a proportion of the club's profits, see this new post:

The information below and on the following pages is part of a project from 1996 to 1998 to develop one of the first on-line mathematics journals where multimedia presentations were the focus. Only one prototype issue was deployed, and it is presented here, as volume 0 of the JOMA, virtually unchanged from how it appeared in 1998. The original numbering is retained, and is unrelated to the JOMA issue numbers.
The impetus for the project came from the Geometry Center, a National Science and Technology Center, where the original CVM was housed. Sadly, the Geometry Center no longer exists, and the task of archiving this groundbreaking work has been taken up by JOMA.
The JOMA editor responsible for CVM is Davide Cervone, who was also one of the original CVM editors, along with Tom Banchoff. We thank both Davide and Tom for their efforts in making this archive possible. Please direct any questions or comments to Davide, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The pages that follow are intended as a prototype for the new electronic journal, Communications in Visual Mathematics, sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Special thanks are due to the Geometry Center where much of the software used in this project was developed.
The intent of the journal is to publish articles that cannot be presented adequately in conventional text format, either because they rely essentially or at least extensively on animations and interactive demonstrations, and/or because they make use of hypertext features with multiple linking and non-linear structure. An additional aim of this journal is to provide a variety of entry points to each of the articles, with background material available for the novice and indications of frontier research for the professionally adept reader.
This prototype is in process. It represents starting points for a number of ideas that are being developed by the editors in cooperation with authors and advisors. We have received a good deal of feedback from those who have seen earlier versions, and we hope to receive a great deal more. Some parts of this prototype are still being written. We hope to have the journal in full operation by the end of 1998.

He said if I could go to Paraná and talk to the coaches I could fit in with their youth sides. Coritiba was on Serie B that year and had just completed 100 years of history. They were relegated to the second division on their 100th year, a sad story really and maybe, just maybe I could be the lift the club needed. I felt lucky when my parents accepted, because soon I'd be a star or at least I believed so!"That was a nice win, I came to Porto Alegre looking for something and I think I found something else.

Skip to comments.'Journolist' Affair Worse Than Clinton Conspiracy
Posted on 07/23/2010 11:54:37 PM PDT by Def Conservative
Today's journalism scandal involving liberal media members of the invitation-only "Journolist" listserv discussing ways to help 2008 presidential candidate Barack Obama or discredit his press critics is far more organized than the Clinton era "vast right-wing media conspiracy," according to former Clinton aides.
While the two media conspiracies have been compared since the listserv E-mails started appearing on the Daily Caller website, former Clinton aides say that there is one major difference between the two. Unlike the current scandal, reporters with conservative media back in the 1990s were competitive and didn't share story ideas.
What's more, the Journolist affair threatens to further undermine media credibility, especially with Republican organizations who tell us that they are reconsidering their relationship with reporters and news organizations on the Journolist listserv that was taken down when it became public.
"Do I think that there are potential issues with that if you get people trying to take particular positions and organize them because that ultimately undermines the objectivity of the media and the sense of independence, yeah," says former Clinton aide Chris Lehane.
(Excerpt) Read more at politics.usnews.com ...
Journolist is a terrible scandal!
They didn't invite any of us at US News. :(
Another example of collectivism not working. It breeds corruption.
Most in the "Media" should suffer for their complacency in the downfall and coming suffering of innocents of this great United States of America.
An informed people can make judicious decisions; a people kept ignorant cannot remain free.
"According to reports about Journolist, center-left media members"
Almost stopped reading right there. Wish I would have. The rest of the story could be summed up thus: "It's the Internet's fault."
Knew the leftist hacks at US "News" couldn't be honest about the Journomarist scandal. All they are doing here is trying to get ahead of the story to control the narrative.
Nest step: Blame Bush, Cheney, Fox, or all three...
compare a real journalistic conspiracy to a figment of Hilary's immagination - yep, thats good reporting!
My my my, Hillary sure is calling in all her favors isn't she?
What has been looked over in this story is Hillary getting the short end of the stick by these journalists as they worked to get Obama elected and discredit Palin. And this at a time when the Clinton's were thought to own the media.
Funny how the drib drab is slowly coming out from the Clinton camp about Obama. From their friends at the Globe running Obama B/C reports, to Bill getting media coverage slamming Obama's policies while seeming to still be supportive, reports running on how Hillary had the DNC nomination stolen from her and now the Clinton's coming out against journalists coordinating to help a Dem candidate.
I'm popping lots of popcorn for next year - watching the Clinton machine take on Obama's when he's slowly turning into a wounded tyrant will be worth watching. Almost as good as seeing which journalists remain in his pocket after being outed for propagandist they are.
NO, its even simpler than that- the JournoList was an ACTUAL conspiracy, the 'vast right wing conspiracy' was IMAGINARY
"At the time of the Clinton media conspiracy it would have been a firing offense to talk about story coordination with anybody else, mostly because of the more competitive nature at the time."
Don't even tell me that, that didn't happen! I will never, ever, ever believe it didn't happen.
Remember the Billary picture dancing in the Caribbean right before the Monica story broke? Remember the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy quotes? Remember the "gravitas" quotes about Cheney? Rush has aired the coordination of the political class and media "talking points" for quite some time.
This is not rocket science, nor is it clairvoyance. They have "coordinated" for very long time...for at least 60 years...even though the JournoList listserve hasn't been around that long
I believe that this story is driven by Hillaryites, and one of them gave Tucker the emails.
We've always known the media has coordinated what they report, anyone who doubted this was either a idiot or a DU poster!
You may be right, in fact, I'd say it's pretty probable that it was a Hillary supporter who outed the list. Only liberals who towed the line were allowed in and I'm positive many of them were Hillary supporters.
It does fit with what I've been seeing lately; the Clinton's managing to get all sorts of positive press that just happens to be damaging to Obama. Could it be the Clinton's have moved from the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" to seeing Obama the real enemy (not that they won't come after us once he's been crushed)?
I'm sure the media will let us know is perfectly coordinated reports....
The formation of the JournoList group was just formalizing the coordination between some in the media, education and op-ed elite wannabes.
Believe me when I tell you that there are Hillaryites who are fuming at the crooked way that Obama ran his campaign. Right now, they are smelling blood, and they won't let go.
The sad thing for this country is that, should she decide to challenge him again, she might just win this time. The other side doesn't see her as being as big a Marxist and Alinskyite as Obama is...which she is.
"Im sure the media will let us know is perfectly coordinated reports...."
LOL! I'm sure you are right, but will they be believed this time?
They will have to tear down the Annointed One, first.
Was that not one of the biggest stories in the Democrat primary? How the MSM abandoned Hillary as soon as it became apparent she was vulnerable?
En masse, they began piling on, competing for who could do the most damage.
The phenomenon revealed one thing for sure: The MSM knew the Clintons had used them...and they resented it.
I don't understand why conservative businessmen don't get into media. Who or what is stopping them?
Or those is the media believed Obama would be easier to own then Hillary - he was an unknown on the national scene. I'd not put it past power-hungry journalists to think they held as much power with Hillary as they were ever going to get and Obama gave them the opportunity to own another politician.
Now they've learned he can't be owned. He has no loyalty except to himself. He's not going to let the media control him or his policies and they resent him for it.
I've not made up my mind if pro-Hillary journalists are gaining more power or if the media has finally sickened of Barack. Something is going on though.
Hillary is patient if nothing else and she did put herself in a good position. By working for the Admin they can't throw the charge that she's not loyal and it may help lessen the racist charge effectively used against her during the election.
You are right, she's more dangerous than Obama is in many ways and what makes her dangerous is most American's don't know her radical background or her marxist beliefs.
Yep the clinton's smell blood...that is when they are at their best...
Yep the clinton's smell blood...that is when they are at their best...they want back ..lets pray this is the end of both clinton and obama...
The foremost thing to remember is that Hillary is a creature of New York City. Period. It is her power base. It is not a conspiracy theory to state that her ultimate base is the secular Jewish community in particular.
Barack Obama has gone a little too far for their tastes in kissing Muslim butt. He is unreliable for looking out for their interests (political and commercial), unlike Hillary.
The Journolist exposure is part of the process of getting the press back onto the reservation. That includes the more radical Jewish reporters who made up the bulk of Journolist.
Sam Zell bought the Tribune but it turned out to be a bad deal. Business principles and liberal media/propaganda dissemination are mutually exclusive goals.
Once again, instead of admitting it's a Democrat thing, they pull in Republicans, accusing of things that didn't happen....
Well of course it's far more organized, considering the vast right-wing media conspiracy DIDN'T EXIST, was a figment of Hillary Clinton's imagination. Good grief.
Oh please.
Lies and misrepresentations from the media are rooted in American history going back to the NYSlimes printing FAVORABLE articles about Nazi Germany.
I think a lot of hillary supporters and hillary herself are probably just as pissed off realizing what a fraud was perpetrated on the public by these commies and the chirf pied piper obama himself.
Lies and misrepresentations from the media predate NYT's favorable articles about Nazi Germany by more than 200 years. The media nowadays is tame compared to what it was in the time of this nation's founding. Outright slander in those days was common.....
Frankly...if any of these clowns really knows WHO the 'Bamster is...and that he is an unqualified presidential candidate, their collusion with the DNC to elect him, would make them and their organizations liable for fraud.
I dont understand why conservative businessmen dont get into media. Who or what is stopping them?
They are out there creating jobs, producing wealth for themselves and others and building this society.
No comparison. The vast right-wing conspiracy was actually the gang that couldn't shoot straight.
Chris Lehane.....A VILE voice from the past.
Asa I said....Chris Lehane is VILE....and EVIL.
Bill, Hillie, and Barry remind me of three scorpions in a bottle...
Bet he is one of the 400 on the Journolist!
Talk about the fox guarding the hen house! They get to not only be part of the scandal, but also be part of the cover up.
Note how they say the Journolist was made up of mostly columnists. Columnists are paid to have opinions. But not straight news reporters. The lie here is that these Journolist conspirators weren't straight news reporters. But they were! Many of them. And THEREIN lies the scandal.
Posing for your readers and viewers as a "just the facts" reporter while conspiring to smear Republicans and support democrats is just plain fraud. Even if only a small percentage overall were straight news reporters, it is a terrible thing to do and stabs the credibility of the media right in the heart. Who can you trust to tell the truth? Not any reporter who was on Journolist! Since they won't release the list of names of who was, we can only conclude that any reporter was.
But they'll do whatever they can to mislead the reader away from that honest and despicable conclusion.
The physical plant required to support a traditional media outlet, print, voice, or video, is massive. Plus you have to be willing to lose money for years before you show a profit.
But, conservative businessmen (well actually women) are getting into the media world. They are bypassing the physical media and going directly digital. That is why the liberal/progressive/socialist/democrats want to put a "kill switch" on the Internet.
You know your history well, but the last several decades of media manipulation was done under the guise of the myth of the "honest reporter", set forth by Hollywood in the 1930s and 40s and people like Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and David Brinkley.
Most Americans in the last half of the 20th Century fell for it, and we're still suffering the ramifications today. It would be far, far better for us if we did go back to the openly partisan coverage of yesteryear. The modern myth is a great falsehood!
and before that....Stalin
Chris Lehane is the most honest of the people interviewed for this story. He specifically says the JournoList is fundamentally more dangerous than the alleged VRWC.
On another note, I do believe there should be a grassroots outcry for Republicans to refuse interviews or contacts with the media outlets who had their staff represented in the JournoList. If those staffers are not reprimanded (at the least) or fired, no interviews.
This is amazingly corrupt: The American media conspired to elect a president they refused to investigate (by investigating and falsely accusing anyone who would even look at BHO's background).
Hitler would be so proud of Ezra Klein as would Stalin.
THE VWLC was 100 times more powerful in the 90's than the VWRC; they lied to get Clinton elected much like the MSM did for Obama.
Lehane is EVIL and Hillary would be worse than Obama because she works more slowly and isn't so obvious about what she is doing. BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE.
Don't get me wrong; I don't believe Lehane. But the JournoList is something that actually happened/is happening. The VRWC was only alleged or from the mind of loony liberals.
The question isn't whether or not they were coordinating "NEWS", but how long have they been coordinating the "NEWS".
I have first hand knowledge the Rodney King story in 1991/92 was orchestrated to make the repubs. look bad and cover up for the dems, corruption.
Let's hope Chelsea doesn't decide to pick up the mantle of her parents - one generation of marxist Clinton's has been ENOUGH!!!
Oh yea mean those "f*cking Jews!!" Hillary screeched about? lol.
Well, if her highness needs to get liberal Jews back on the reservation she has a big problem.
They won't do it because of Israel (most of them hate Israel with a passion) and they won't do it because Obama is kissing too much Muslim rear-end. This may be their excuse but the real reason will be Obama failing to push forth the liberal plan of turning this country into a socialist/communist nation.
If they believe Hillary gives them a better shot at their socialist utopia they'll get behind her again. If she fails to convince them of her ability to do this, they'll look for the next history making candidate or simply stick with the anointed one.
In the end liberal Jews for the most part love to play at being Jewish but in the end would rather worship Marx/Lenin then the God of Abraham!
Informed Hillary supporters are still ticked off at how Hillary was treated during the campaign and how it was stolen from her. Uninformed former Hillary supporters were so wrapped up in making history by electing a black liberal President, they've forgotten their initial support of her.
It's almost comical to think about it. When Hillary was forced to tell her supporters to get behind and support Obama (which she did quite credibly though it had to be eating her alive) she peeled off a good number of quasi-informed Dem voters. The ones who pay little attention to what goes on politically until right before the primaries and still give Obama high marks for running the country.
If Obama runs in 2014 how does she get them back?
How does she destroy Obama if he does run without damaging the Dems and ticking of those that support him?
To bad this soap opera is destroying our nation. A good screenwriter could put out one hell of a movie if the consequences were not so damned serious.
The problem you describe came about as broadcast media came of age. The timeline is identical. Along about the same time small newspapers were being bought up by large conglomerates. These days small independent newspapers are scarce as hen's teeth. It started first with radio networks. Guys like David Sarnoff at RCA controlled the airwaves. Then, as television came along media was further consolidated into essentially 3 major outlets. People gradually stopped reading newspapers and began getting their news from the "big three". Uncle Walter was born. Eventually, we saw competing newspapers in larger cities, the one semblance of balance in media, fall one by one. The result was as you describe.
The Genie (the Internet) is out of the bottle, though, and the Ivy Leaguer's suddenly don't like it at all. There are now hundreds of sources of information beyond the big networks. The "big three" are losing viewers and listeners at staggering pace and they know it. Listen to all the cat calls to shut down the "new media" and the blogosphere coming out of mainstream media. If they could compete with ideas they would, but they can't. History and facts aren't on their side, hence the charade they've been putting up for decades. If you listen closely you'll hear the big media tell you exactly who threatens them the most......
We had heard she was going to study medicine when she entered Stanford, be a cardiologist (helpful to Billy Jeff it would have been, eh?), but she did not follow on that, I know she changed majors, course of study. I don't recall at the mo', Poly Sci or Law, I think it was Law. Something tells me she is looking toward living off the taxpayers the same as the grifters.
Yep...and it will be interesting to watch what happens if the PUMAs and the Obama cultists collide again. The PUMAs are much smarter about Obama's minions and their tactics than they were in '08.
At this point, I have no idea with whom I would place my money.
Right now it's Obama + 1...simply because he and his community organizing union thugs blindsided her last go around.
This time, I think I will be popping popcorn...

How to turn your home turf into a field of dreams
Think it�s a challenge to maintain your lawn? Imagine the task of building the perfect turf with 2,000 pounds of sod in less than a month for the Super Bowl, football�s biggest event.
Some of America�s elite groundskeepers for the Super Bowl and other sports venues offer these tips for caring for and maintaining your home turf:
Sharpen blades for the blades. Homeowners often care for their yards but neglect their lawn equipment, according to NFL field director Ed Mangan, who supervises groundskeepers for the Super Bowl. �A sharp blade is really paramount. Have a spare around,� says Mangan, who also serves as grounds chief for baseball�s Atlanta Braves. Whenever a minor league ballpark field looks a bit scruffy, Mangan asks the grounds crew when they last sharpened their mower blades. A dull blade cuts �more like a Weed Eater instead of a blade,� he says.
Fertilize in the fall. If you can fertilize only once a year, shoot for around Sept. 1, advises George Toma, who has helped to prepare every Super Bowl field in history, beginning in 1967. �A lot of people [are] locked up in their houses all winter and then they go out there and start doing a lot of things in the spring. You have to do it in the fall. That's Mother Nature's time,� he says.
Water grass early in the mornings. To reduce water loss to evaporation, turn on your sprinklers before it�s too hot and windy. And guard against overwatering. If watering in the afternoon, merely shower lightly to cool off the grass. �I want that grass going to sleep in a dry diaper. If it's a wet diaper, maybe you're going to catch a baby rash; the grass is going to get diseased,� says Toma, who retired in 1999 as chief groundskeeper for baseball�s Kansas City Royals and football�s Kansas City Chiefs.
Don�t let automatic sprinklers make you complacent. An automatic irrigation system can lull a homeowner into ignoring his yard, according to Mangan. For instance, if it�s rained three days in one week, a lawn probably can go the rest of the week without additional water. Also, some problem areas may require watering by hand. �Just take a walk across the yard with a cup of coffee and look at it,� Mangan urges.
Mow often. Homeowners should mow once or twice a week, says Heather Nabozny, head groundskeeper for the Detroit Tigers baseball club and a member of the Super Bowl grounds crew since 2003. �Don't let your turf get too long,� she says. �You don't want to take off more than a third of the [grass] blades at a time.�
