Last week Manchester City announced a loss of $157M for the year to May 2012. Most of the headlines focused on the reduction from last year's record setting loss of $320M (exchange rate of 1.61 used for both).
Few articles pointed out that over the last four years of ownership by the Abu Dhabi United Group Manchester City has racked up cumulative losses of over $800M.
Even fewer pointed out that although the annual loss has been cut by 50% the club is even further from a sustainable business model than it was at the end of the 2009 financial year.
The spin from the Manchester City hierarchy was both predictable and echoed past years.
"A further step… to read more please click on the link.
Are the gate receipts correct? There's $100 million difference in 2012 between City and Arsenal?
Nice article from Andersred echoing some of your statements…
I think the main point of the article is that City will have very little choice but to slow down with player acquisitions. I think you've seen that already with some of their recent transfer dealings.
As expected, not a pretty picture. I've been told that the Etihad sponsorship deal won't pass UEFA's smell test… but it remains to be seen whether UEFA will treat all clubs evenly, or punish an also ran heavily while letting the big clubs off with warnings.
Bobby; For those of us who do not deal with accounting on a daily basis, can you give a brief description of how Player Amortz, Valuation and remaining balance work?
I assume that 2012 Amortz, for example, is how much of what they are owed (and a prorated portion of their purchase cost) comes off the books this year. How are these things calculated in relation to purchase price, wages, and any "net present" or residual valuation of the player contract?
IE: if a player is purchased for $20m and signs a 4yr deal at $4m p/a, in year three what is his remaining valuation to the club?
Is the full $20m in purchase amortized over the 4 years regardless of whether he signs a new contract to stay, or is sold before end of contract?
Does any residual value get deducted from present value (if, in the example, the player is deemed to be worth $6m going into the final year of the contract, or is sold prior termination etc). If so, how is the player's NPV calculated? Is it an assigned value or are there accepted methods for calculating these things? All footballers do not age and/or appreciate/depreciate at the same rate, obviously.
I guess we'll find out whether or not FIFA thinks City's behavior is beneficial to their business or not…if glamour clubs and ones that drive wages are permissible in stretches…and whether or not City has earned the right to be granted an exception.
Perhaps more concerning to me is the long-term consequence of gate receipts representing less than 10% of total revenue. In that case, what is the club's motivation to concern itself with the fan experience?
I don't know if you saw my comment on the Forbes site for this article, but I thought I would mention the gist of it here as well.
I find the amount of commercial revenue City claims highly suspect. How trustworthy are the figures? Since they are not a publicly-traded company, is there any legal risk to inflating figures?
How does a club like city double their commercial revenue in one year to the point that it is making 15% more than what United claims when United have been a major innovator in finding new revenue streams?
I get the feeling that City are either just making those numbers up to hide an even greater loss, or they are manufacturing those numbers by fake deals with their ownership. Either of which should really test if FFP has any teeth.
DailyMail lists these matchday prices, here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2219460/Big-rise-football-ticket-prices-revealed–Arsenal-expensive.html
It doesn't look like you need to watch out for falling prices at the Etihad.
Last year City attendance = 421,756
Arsenal = 480,764
The huge difference in gate receipts doesn't compute.
Are you allowed to pump investment into the club via "seat licenses"?
I still don't understand what exactly is the problem. Yes, if the owners lose interest and ignore club, it will turn bad quickly. But if they sale, new ownership should make sure of the club's financial situation.
Rules will always get circumvented. In the NFL contracts get stretched out all the time for cap reasons. The only problem is that there will be a day of reckoning. But in the futebol world, there's no sharing of revenue.
Why should UEFA care if City owners dump money from their other holdings into the club at inflated rates? As long as it doesn't circumvent real world financial regulations, huh huh, what's the problem? We would all complain if an owner put one of his companies on a jersey for nothing? That would hurt a club, right?
Wait until City starts pocketing huge amounts of money from friendlies played abroad. Fees from match sponsored by Etihad.
Everyone wants a level playing field, because it's good for the game? What type of ratings would a Schalke vs Valencia would get for a CL final? How is that good for the game. While I admit a Schalke or Valencia verse one of the big boys would bring a nice cinderella factor if they beat other big boys along the way.
Fans just want their team to have a shot. The fact is that they could get a shot every few years if handled right. Maybe bad management/ownership has as much to do with failure to do so, as money does.
By the way, don't Arsenal fans wish their ownership acted a little more like City?
No, Ed, we don't… I'd like Arsenal to be better, and for them to either sign a couple of big names or commit to rebuilding with quality youth. At the moment, they seem to be trying to do a bit of both… some interesting young players mixed in with middling (at best, second tier) transfers that absorb money but don't really seem to improve the odds that much.
I don't want Arsenal to be "like" City, because I know in doing so they could well put themselves out of existence (and we don't need to list the clubs that have done that recently).
With regard to the topic at hand… City's relatively low revenues and relatively high expenditure, I don't see that changing, despite what the club says it's long term intention is.
As far as you know, is there anything stopping Man City ownership (or their friends/brothers/associates) from buying a Chinese, African or Middle Eastern club and using it as a dumping ground for bad contracts?
Suppose City needs to straighten out their books after the Etihad sham is brushed off by UEFA FFP accountants (any number of other financial claims could be disallowed, of course). Could they buy (or just invest in, officially or otherwise) an obscure club in a non-UEFA confederation, then sell off some of their worst investments for Torres-like money to transfer the burden from City to "Al-Folly" (sorry, couldn't think of a better name…)?
Obviously, the player would have to agree to go… but a rich new contract for a player expecting to have to take a pay cut and a free transfer generally smooths such items over.
If an obscure club wants to put in a ridiculous offer for a player who isn't worth half of his wage packet, much less a transfer fee, who would stop them? UEFA may have the right under "membership" agreements to look into the finances of clubs, officers and 'resident' businesses, but it's highly unlikely they'll be given access to treasury accounts in non-member nations, much less the personal accounts of third parties or royal family members in sovereign nations.
Am I missing something here? Could UEFA actually do anything about this type of thing? This is just one possible example, of course. There are many other ways that FFP could be circumvented by sufficiently rich club owners. UEFA seems to have planned for only a few possible methods.
Instead of asking if UEFA could, the bigger question is would they want to?
I get not wanting Arsenal going by the wayside ala Pompey. But Arsenal is in a much better position than Pompey ever was. They don't have to go crazy like City to get established. Actually, now they just might. Too many players have wanted out, and CL play is tougher.
I just watched FSN, and I had to hear commentator keep repeating how Malaga would be a nice Cinderella story. I may agree with that, but he kept going on about them having no money, which is far from the truth. Another pundit not bothering to do any research.
I'm not suggesting any of these contracts represented "dumping", but we've already seen Eto'o, Anelka, Drogba and others take the big money deals to move to (relatively) obscure clubs for more than they could have gotten in Europe.
It's true that, with the exception of Eto'o, none of the players that have done so could truly be called 'in their prime', but in the agent driven world that is professional sport today, it seems to be the money that talks, no matter where you end up playing/living (which don't have to be the same place, of course).
It is probably true that Ronaldo, Messi and the like wouldn't go regardless what the offer was, but I was thinking more of players like Drogba, K. Toure, Adebayor etc. Guys who still have game left and are unquestionably "name" stars, but who aren't youngsters any longer and may not be worth the contract they are on, much less an improved one.
It's difficult to look back and relate the modern game to the past with respect to "my" club… the formation of the PL and the economic expansion that went with it has truly transformed the game at the top end. So I won't delve into "Arsenal history" and compare eras, regardless of how tempting that sometimes is.
Nonetheless, I do think the club has been very much at a fork in the road (cliche alert… oops, too late…) the last year or three. I'm not sure that the board even knows what direction they want to go, and there's certainly little evidence that they have unified behind a singular plan. Every time someone comes out and claims there's a boatload of cash to be spent and makes it sound like that decision is Wenger's alone (which I don't believe), it turns out more shrewd and conservative financial moves are on the horizon.
Right now I'd say increased spending without taking it close to the level of City, Chelsea or MU is probably not going to 'help' Arsenal. It's possible they'll not make the top four next spring and we'll all look back and rue decisions not to spend to improve the squad. But barring a run of bad results and injuries (for which they still do not have sufficient cover), I expect them to be in the top four but some way from the very top come May.
A CL qualifying position does seem to be the club's goal these days. That drives some supporters nuts as AFC appears not to be trying to "win". I can understand that. We all want to win.
I suppose the question none of us have the answer to is: would spending an additional $20-25m actually make a difference? I would guess the board thinks that that won't get them to a title challenge (and they are right about that part, IMO), so unless they think they might fall out of a CL position for 2013/14, what would be the benefit to the club as a business in doing so? If you can't attract the very best players, what is the benefit of buying additional second tier stars? Arguably, the club already has more than it's share of $3-6m p/a players who contribute very little. Several appear to be reserve squad fixtures and will likely spend the remainder of their current contracts in that role, as I'm sure you know. Instead of Wenger being criticized for 'not spending' (something he likely doesn't control, despite the reassurances of the board…), I wish fans paid more attention to what he has spent the money he has been given on. As with Benitez @ LFC, that's an area I believe he can fairly be criticized for.
It will be interesting to see how the approach changes as the new commercial deals come in and stadium debt is retired (which, frankly, is a bit of an issue for me… if they aren't going to take a shot at winning – something I understand all things considered – I'd actually rather see them spend a portion of the transfer kitty to retire stadium debt early, thus freeing up funds to improve the club 'sooner'. My guess would be the board's answer to such a demand would be "Not at the expense of CL revenues, we won't"). There's no doubt that spending will increase when those funds are available. The trouble is, I'd expect rival's spending to increase at least in step with that as well. It seems to me the long term result is likely to be an increased gap between the top 4-5 clubs and the rest, but still a major chasm between the top 2 and the next 3 or 4 challengers.
One wonders if the talk recently about scrapping Europa league and expanding the CL isn't in some part driven by an underlying desire in UEFA to try and close the gaps between the top 2-4 clubs in Europe's elite leagues and the rest?
If so, UEFA is ignoring the obvious and easier answer: distribute the wealth more evenly. The present system, unsurprisingly, just guarantees that the rich get richer. In many ways, regardless of their relative success in CL (see market pool discussions).
Wow, an excellent piece and some great comments in this thread. Thanks for another great year of punditry, Bobby. Wishing you and yours a merry Christmas and looking forward to reading and hearing more of your insights in 2013.
We're all very sad that FSR went away. I do not understand how the new owners of the program couldn't see that they had a continent wide following and a program that was relatively cheap to produce.
Best wishes to all for the holidays & new year!
First and foremost, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. May you and your families have a great Holiday.
JB, it's not about spending or realizing that an extra 20 to 25 mil will not better the squad. For me Arsenal's troubles go much deeper than that.
They have, in the last few years, lost players due to incompetence. They weren't lost due to Wenger wanting to turn over the squad and still turn a profit. These players left do to their future becoming stagnant, and an opportunity to earn more elsewhere.
If I was an Arsenal fan, I would be more worried about not being able to convey the right plan going forward, in order to keep your stars. We all know it's cheaper to keep players, especially world class one's, instead of going out and trying to sign one. The lack of trophies, and any course of action in improving the club led them to leave. In my opinion even Cesc, who was always going to go back to Barcelona, would have stayed if the future was bright. He had plenty of time left before moving on.
Arsenal did nothing, contractually, in order to have some relief. They've let contracts come down to the end, where they aren't even able to maximize the most out of the transfer fees. Not good, if you are a selling club.
I know they've just signed a group of youngsters, whose future looks bright. But how much brighter would the club look, if those youngsters were making their inroads with Cesc, Song, RVP, etc… still in the club. Yes, they would see action in Cup ties and season. And being so young, you were always going to be able to lock them up now.
People could say City is just bad business, and we could argue about that. Arsenal for me, is bad business. They've started paying for B Class players, that would never sniff the field in a BPL top four squad. They've picked up enough of them, that it's actually cost them.
For me Arsenal was much better off spending on 1 big player along with one B Class, instead of picking up several lesser players. Defense is still shaky, and no real forward presence. For me, they still have leadership issues. Let me add that bringing back Henry should have sounded alarms instead of inspire anything. Just a distraction for the loyal fans.
Arsenal will be able to justify their current squad, once they don't qualify for the CL. Unfortunately for the fans it's being built while still participating in the CL.
As for the CL being expanded, it's ridiculous. UEFA is just afraid that certain leagues, will really suffer if they don't compete in Europa. Europa is usually cared more about in Spain, Portugal, Russia. With the Big League clubs ignoring it, it brings down their coefficient. Serie A as an example has lost out on a CL spot. It's not only a CL spot, but the third place team will now have to go through qualifiers as well. It's grinding and too early in the campaign to be a full strength. Qualifiers start in July, and even though Chelsea didn't have to play until the Playoff, it was still in mid August against tough opposition.
I know more sometimes brings in more money, but it will water down the competition. I actually agree with AVB when he said third place group stage CL finishers shouldn't qualify for Europa. The sweet sixteen losers should. It would heighten interest in Europa and provide better competition.
As for FSR, I heard plenty of complaints, so lets be careful. As for the new format, I like it. It looks and it's put together much better. Money can do that, in the right hands. Yes, there's still comments made about teams that shouldn't be. That's laziness on the pundits part. I'm dating myself, but I think that one of the hosts, forgot name, has a very Max Headroom quality about him. Not sure if its good either.
To Bobby and others,
Have some good holidays, and know that many people out here love getting their weekly fix from you! I miss FSR and the SRE Podcast but of course still enjoy the blog and Forbes articles.
take care
Mancini got himself fired yet?
Sunderland? Really?
Ed, I never thought I'd hear anyone else mention Max Headroom in my lifetime…
I'm actually in favour of shrinking CL participation, so we seem to agree on that front (IE: too many teams). One can certainly make the argument (and many have) that the 4th place BPL or DFB club is "better" than some of the smaller league champions. However, it would likely be true that the 17th place finisher in the BPL is better… yet I don't hear demands for Wigan, Granada or Hoffenheim's inclusion in the CL
Nonethless, what we think doesn't matter that much as I'm pretty sure UEFA is headed in a different direction on this…
Since we're discussing futebol, money, etc… Pundits and fans, of their respective countries, have been speaking about the Netherlands and Belgium leagues merging. Apparently, top clubs are discussing it, as FA's might be as we'll. I'm not a big fan of that happening but it makes sense. Neither country is big enough to support large leagues, if anything both leagues should be smaller. Joining should bolster the quality and financial situation of both leagues.
It's an interesting proposition that will leave plenty of people angry. But if growth is what you want, it might make sense on both fronts.
On a side note, this is exactly what the Portuguese league needs, but joining Spain in an Iberia league would be foolish. Spain is big enough, size and population, to carry a league on its own. Portuguese clubs, outside the Big 3 and maybe Braga, would get lost in the shuffle. Due to its location Portugal is stuck.
Sorry for high jacking the article/post. I just found it interesting.
Late to this party but I loved Bobby's piece for Forbes on Man City. It stood in stark contrast to a piece of 'analysis' on the BBC website the same day that claimed Man City had turned a corner.
Which brings me to the bigger point. The sort of unsentimental, fact-based reporting and analysis that Bobby does is a wonderful exception in the glut of material and discussions about the beautiful game.
Too often journalists and pundits are content to follow a well-rehearsed narrative or indulge in 'churnalism' where the same themes and pieces of info. are constantly recycled. Case in point – Stoke – plucky, unfairly maligned over-achievers or a rich-owner's play thing whose net spend of over 60 million since promotion is only exceeded by Man City and Chelsea?
Wishing everyone a happy festive period. And hoping that 2013 is a good year for everyone and in particular Bobby's talents are rewarded with an even bigger stage.

About 6 or 8. Language slippages. I'd hear people speaking as if English was an unknown tounge to me.
Briefly, I couldn't understand anything they were saying.
My kids seem to suffer from this quite frequently (just kidding, I couldn't resist)
Seriously though, this is interesting as I have heard about it before. First thing that came to mind was regarding the past life experiment in a few posts above. It would make sense in that context.
Hmmm. Don't know if I believe in that whole past life thing.
Maybe it was faulty wiring in my brain where the language center is. It was very strange. It has never happened after those ages.
I don't know what I believe as far as past-lives are concerned
First time someone raised the subject with me as if it were fact, I overreacted and was angry, despite the other person was a close colleague and despite I was generally open-minded at least to the suggestion of most things
Afterwards I was embarrassed about my outburst. But remained angry
Angry not with my colleague but with the possibility we could be assaulted by another life. Because that's how I regarded it - assault
'How dare they'! Don't know why I suspected a 'they' and not an 'it' as responsible for putting people through successive lives - if in fact they do, of course
For years I scorned those clustered around the reincarnation shelves in book stores. Deluded fantasists, I thought
It was an unusual experience which compelled me to at least consider the possibility of reincarnation and led to my reluctantly decided I needed to at least take another look at it. Some books were scholarly, some trash. Some persuasive, others ridiculous
I'm still on the fence. I still strongly dislike that it's remotely possible we could be compelled to endure more than one life. And I state, very determinedly and usually angrily, '
I will not come back here. I will not. Do not ever send me here again or I'll kill before birth any future self you try to force me to be. I will not live again on this hell on earth'
The awful thing, to my mind at least, is that as you get older and mellow and reflect on life, the thought of coming back to 'do it differently and better next time' begins to insinuate itself into your mind. It's happened to my great surprise. I kick it out immediately, but I can see how seductive it might be to some. And it scares me to think I might fall for it at some point
The worst aspect, for me, is the suggestion we may have no control over it and might be forced back. I'm far from impressed by this earthly environment. Any of us could create a world more kind, more just than what we're living through here. Which causes me to distrust the motives of anything that would compel us to live here once, let alone repeatedly
Reincarnation may be gobblydegook of course
I remain on the fence

Eurozone price rises sound alarms at ECB – FT
© The Financial Times Ltd 2016 FT and 'Financial Times' are trademarks of The Financial Times Ltd.
Breathtaking research from an ECB paper, stacking up the measures taken and bodies set up by central banks around the world. An invaluable resource – high praise to authors Stéphanie Marie Stolz and Michael Wedow.
For data junkies, see tables on pages: 25, 30, 37 and 58.
Failure to predict change, ignoring the worst-case scenario and assuming certain tasks were someone else's responsibility are sins at the root of the Irish banking crisis – and they were perpetrated by bankers, central bankers, regulators and politicians alike.
These are themes repeated in a report into the crisis by new central bank governor Patrick Honohan. The report is one of two released yesterday, the other by Klaus Regling and Max Watson. Both are precursors to a statutory investigation.
Mr Honohan says that bank management failed to maintain 'safe and sound' practices; that government policies were unduly 'accommodative and procyclical'; that regulators were 'deferential' and unwilling to rock the boat; and, perhaps most significantly, that the central bank and regulator (CBFSAI):
do not appear to have realised – or at least could not bring themselves to acknowledge – before mid-2007 at the very earliest, not only how close the system was to the edge, but also the extent to which the task of pulling it back from the edge fell to the CBFSAI
Some of Mr Honohan's points seem guilty of 'confirmation bias' – they are Read more
Between 2010 and 2014, $1,400bn US commercial real estate loans will reach the end of their terms. Nearly half of them are currently in negative equity – that is, the borrower owes more than the property is worth. And banks are reducing the number of loans in the sector, and have been doing so throughout 2009.
More shocking is that banks and their auditors are typically well aware of the problem, but have not written down the value of property as prices have fallen. Instead they are "extending and pretending" – or "delaying and praying": holding property values steady and assisting the borrowers where possible. They need to. If banks were accurately to record property values, they would write down assets on their own balance sheets and jeopardise their business (see example to right).
A very thorough report just released from the Congressional Oversight Panel expects many banks to go under when the pretence comes to an end. The report concludes: "There is a commercial real estate crisis on the horizon, and there are no easy solutions to the risks commercial real estate may pose to the financial system and the public."
When a government body admits things are at crisis proportions, you have to take notice. This isn't journalistic hyperbole. It is hard to overstate the impact of the coming second subprime, hitting, as it will, a very fragile economic recovery.
So, who will be most affected? In a nutshell, banks, and mostly the smaller ones. Read more
Thanks to Big Picture blog, which keeps us posted on the weekly death count in the world of banks. The same data, viewed as a cumulative chart, shows an upward trend in US bank failures. Indeed, for the geeks among you, the bank failures (red line) so closely mirror the exponential trendline (black), the R squared is 0.9948.
That does not mean, of course, that bank failures will continue along their current exponential path. But it does mean they haven't slowed down in any significant sense – yet.

I have a good deal of sympathy for Sheila Bair's idea that secured creditors should take a hit when a financial institution fails. But there are two problems with her proposal. First, it would kill the triparty repo market, where lenders assume secured really means secured. Second, it is not clear to me why we should want a standardised 20 per cent haircut. Better to estimate the haircut in normal bankruptcy and apply that to any special resolution process.
Moreover, it looks to me like the most promising way of getting some effective discipline from bank creditors is to focus on the more junior categories of debt – sub-debt and potentially reverse convertibles (I like the idea of requiring banks to hold debt that converts into equity when certain thresholds are breached).

This debate is taking place on the FT's Arena blog:
Four seasons have now passed since the highest-profile casualty of the financial crisis, Lehman Brothers, went under. Since then, all over the world, politicians, regulators and central bankers have focused on what needs changing to prevent another meltdown. Of course, crises come and go. But at the very least have banks learned their lesson? They would argue they are better capitalised than 12 months ago and have exited the nasty products that shot holes in their balance sheets. Banks might also say that the consolidation of the likes of Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and HBOS into healthier rivals can only strengthen the sector. The regulatory environment will certainly be tougher. But there are plenty who still worry history might repeat itself. After all, most banks largely look like they did pre-Lehman, albeit with fewer people. They also remain highly leveraged and remuneration still rewards risk. Do you think banks have done enough?

Kirstie Alley Loses a Shoe on 'Dancing With the Stars' [Video]
Kirstie Alley managed to stay on her feet on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, but her shoe is a different story. Last week, Kirstie and her partner Max took a tumble. This week she lost her shoe. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba even asked her, "Who loses a shoe?" It's definately a first in 'Dancing' history. Kirstie did manage to get it back on and finish the dance that scored a 22.
Disney star Chelsea Kane is at the top with her Harry Potter inspired Viennese Waltz. Despite getting mixed reviews, she scored the highest of the night.
Pittsburg Steeler Hines Ward is only 1 point behind after his paso-doble. The terrible towels were swirling all over the ballroom after his dance. It was one of my favorites of the night.
Reality star Kendra Wilkinson is at the bottom after this week's dances that were part of "Classical Week." She'll probably be the one to go home. Tune in to ABC at 9 to find out or tune in tomorrow morning at 8:10, and we'll let you know.

One of the oldest surviving metal railroad bridges in the US Saved
moved to Museum
In yet another historic preservation accomplishment, the Museum has saved this vintage railroad bridge and brought it to the Museum property for subsequent exhibit. The bridge was designed by Pennsylvania Railroad assistant engineer Herman Haupt in 1851, built of cast and wrought iron in Altoona, and probably installed on the Philadelphia and Columbia branch sometime in the 1850s, where it carried trains over a creek or similar obstacle.
The Bridge is one of the oldest surviving iron railroad bridges in the United states, and the only complete example of its design with the shoes, Pratt trusses and cast iron arch intact. There are only two other bridges surviving of its type, a 90 foot incomplete example in the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum and the Church Street bridge in Ardmore, that is missing its arch and which is scheduled to be removed.
It was removed from the main line some time after the civil war when the engines became too large and heavy for its 60 ton weight limit. It was installed sometime in the 1870's or 80's as a vehicular bridge connecting two halves of a farmer's field just west of Ronks, PA, where it remained in service until May 2002.
Learning of its availability, Museum Director David Dunn devised a cooperative strategy to assure the structure's preservation. Amtrak donated the bridge, and a crane and operator to load the bridge at the removal site, which was over the main line between Lancaster and Phila. just west of Ronks, PA. (About 5 miles from the Museum). The Friends of the Museum, utilizing funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, provided key financial support.
Amtrak removed the bridge and installed a new one May 5-7, 2002 and set the two main trusses in an adjacent farmer's field for the Museum to pick up. Each truss weighed in at just over 13 tons.
During the move, Amtrak donated the crane and operator to load the trusses and Kevin Sollenberger of Carvell and Rick, Cranes Incorporated, donated his time and rigging for the loading process. Michael Venezia, of Venezia Enterprises, along with Daily Trucking of Carlisle, provided the trucks and permits to move the load.
A determination of its exhibit location is underway. Additional funding will be needed to restore the wear of time and to erect suitable support. Financial contributions to support such efforts are welcome by the Friends of the Museum.

Scottish Law Questions? Ask a Scots Lawyer
We contracted a local bathroom installer to install a new bathroon suit which was completed in December 2011, we contacted the company by phone in September 2012 and stated that we were having problems with the suit.
They eventually arrived to inspect the bathroon suit, they then sent out a rep for supplied the bathroom suit.
Now they are saying it is not their fault and are refusing to replace what we believe to be fault units and poor installation methods.
Under the Sales of Goods Act 1979 we feel that the bathroom suit should have lasted more than 10 months and that they are liable to rectify any faults in their installation.
We have had no response to our question as of yet
The defects are in the appliances,ie: the mdf units are swelling and bursting due to the steam within the bathroom while we have showers.
There are also small minor defects in the installation.

Political agreement to transfer power in Yemen
Published on 13 February 2012 in News
Shatha Al-Harazi (author)
Shatha Al-Harazi (author)
However, since March, the Gulf nations, the European Union, the USA and most recently the UN Security Council have been trying to push for Saleh to step down, which he has not yet done.
President Saleh said on Sunday that he would delegate power to his deputy, Abd Al-Rabu Mansuer Hadi, who is currently on a health trip to the US, allowing him more authority – including the power to call an early election.
According to the information minister deputy Abdo Al-Jandai,
Hadi will be back on Thursday.
"They are supposed to sign the imitative on Friday," said a political analyst who wished to remain anonymous. He added that the GCC secretary general who worked on developing the dialogue between Saleh and the JMP refused to come to Yemen this time unless Saleh gave guarantees that he was serious.
The mechanism of the Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative in its last form calls for a national coalition government headed by the JMP, among other military reforms.
However, it also states the transitional period will last for two years and be ruled by Hadi as he is the default candidate, since the conflicting political parties could not agree on an alternative.
The opposition Joint Meeting Parties, who accuse Saleh of hindering any peaceful attempt of power transition in Yemen, agreed on going ahead on the initiative after rejecting the three-day deadline Saleh set for them to join talks.
"We had no problems with the mechanism Bin Omar [UN envoy] came with, but the other party was not serous in implementing it and still there are no indications that they will be this time" said Mohammed Al-Sabri, a JMP leader.
Al-Sabri pointed out that the violence in Taiz, which left over 10 civilians dead on Wednesday, is an indication that Saleh is not serious in applying any peaceful means to transfer power.

New York (AFP) Nov 20, 2012
Three of four New Yorkers think Mayor Michael Bloomberg is doing a good job on the heels of deadly superstorm Sandy, but they are even bigger fans of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a new poll released Tuesday found.
A whopping 89 percent said that Christie -- the straight-talking Republican governor of the neighboring state who was quick to praise President Barack Obama's response to the disaster -- was doing a good job, the Qunnipiac poll found.
When asked who responded best during the crisis, the plurality of those polled -- 36 percent -- chose Christie.
He was followed by Obama (22 percent), New York Governor Mario Cuomo (15 percent), and finally Bloomberg (12 percent).
"That love fest between ... Christie and President Barack Obama seems to have moved voters especially," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, referring to an October 31 visit by the president and Christie to Atlantic City.
"While all four leaders get very high marks -- it seems a hug or two never hurts," Carroll said.
Sandy crashed into the area October 29 killing 43 people in New York City alone, doing widespread damage and leaving thousands without power.

Volume 9, Issue 2: Pictura
Douglas Jones
Why don't they wave or smile? Neil leans back on his porch steps, raises his head, and lets the weak Spring sunshine fall upon his face. Yet another car drives by his yard slowly, a navy blue Ford Escort; the driver and passengers stare at Neil's yard and point. Neil waves and smiles; they turn their heads and accelerate down the street. Small town people keep to themselves, Neil thinks to himself. I can live with that. Before he and his wife Angela moved into this tiny Montana town in midwinter, his sister in Alabama told them that in small towns everyone waves to one another and smiles and chats. He would love it there, she said. But Neil couldn't even provoke a plastic parade-queen wave out of anyone, let alone a conversation. Only his elderly next door neighbor, Edward--last name unknown--would spare him a conversation over the fence now and then.

Once, university revues targeted establishment figures like Bill Gates purely for satirical purposes. But now the hot mail at the University of Sydney - whose revues have spawned talent as diverse as the ABC's CNNNN team and the Triple J Sleek Geek Adam Spencer - is that the Microsoft founder is being targeted in a wholly different way.
This year's production by the engineering faculty, Bartrix - Fully Loaded, is also being branded on a ticket agency website as the 2003 Microsoft Revue.
Surely this is another under-graduate stunt? Actually, no. Microsoft's sponsorship may help the traditionally hard-living, hard-drinking engineering students' finally challenge the velvet-voiced silvertails from the university's law faculty.
Lisa Cannata, producer of Bartrix - Fully Loaded, (it is a tradition for engineering revues to have an alcohol reference in the title) said the engineers "totally look up to" the rival law revues for their superior production values.
Generous financial support from various Sydney legal firms also provides the lawyers with better costumes and better sets, she says. Now, with the extra sponsorship dollars in the bank, Ms Cannata reckons that the stage is set for the engineering revue to challenge its law equivalent.
Like most recipients of hard-earned sponsorship dollars, Ms Cannata is happy to declare her support for her sponsor, and her interest in a post-degree job.
"I'd love to work with Microsoft. It's a great company. Without their sponsorship we'd only just break even if we sold all of our 2000 tickets."
Ticket booking agency fees and theatre hire costs at the student union-owned Footbridge Theatre can run to thousands of dollars for just three nights, making revues increasingly expensive to mount.
Claudia Crosariol, co-ordinator of the revues, which are controlled and partly subsidised by the University of Sydney Union, says it actively encourages students to seek sponsors and develop relations with them.
However, Tyson Dowd, Microsoft's academic relations developer, said his company would have preferred the engineers not to have branded their revue with the Microsoft name. It preferred the engineering faculty to be up in lights, he said.
CNNNN's Craig Reucassel, a producer of the arts faculty revue at Sydney University in his student days, does not know whether to be impressed or dismayed by the engineers' $7000 Microsoft sponsorship coup.
"In my day at Sydney Uni nobody ever gave a shit about sponsoring the arts students. If we wanted sponsorship it was the pub around the corner or nothing."

If you're looking for list of gluten free bug sprays/ gluten free insect repellents, this post is all you. I feel like knowledge is power. In many cases, it's freedom. Especially in this GF journey. Recently I had several people ask which bug sprays were gluten free. And I thought to myself, "I don't know, never really thought much about it." But since summer is in full swing, it's time to think about it. For those who may exclaim "but you don't eat it, why does it matter if it's gluten free?" That's a great question. I personally think it's super easy to ingest topically sprayed products or accidentally lick my fingers after applying lotion etc, and then TA-DA- I have ingested gluten. Gag. So this list is for those who: 1) React topically to gluten 2) Live with DH, the topical form of Celiac Disease 3) Don't want to accidentally ingest gluten while running away from the blood sucking critters that threaten your peaceful summer night.
Bubble and Bee Bug Spray: This bug spray is organic and contains NO chemicals. Love that!
California Baby Bug Spray: This hypoallergenic, plant based bug spray is a formula that repels fleas, mosquitoes, ticks and biting flies and soothes existing bites with organic aloe vera.
Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent: This is a 100% natural repellent. It can be found at Walgreens and Target.
Tropical Traditions: This is an organic insect repellent. It claims to be safe for the entire body including the face, with no harmful chemicals or artificial fragrances.
Rapel Soap: It's a chemical and sulfate free soap you can bathe yourself or your pets in before going outdoors. Interesting!
Cutter: According to their website, all Cutter products are gluten free. But they do warn to not use them on pets and children.
Bug Off: This is a vegan, gluten free, all natural bug spray.
The "Off" rep says that all their products may contain gluten, they wouldn't really commit one way or another. Deet Insect repellant (Rapel) also said they cannot be 100% sure, but since it's a synthetic chemical (eek), they assume it is. From my research, it looks like most insect repellents are gluten free. But I won't lie, I get tired of researching and guessing what can I put in/on my body. So the more lists we have of what products ARE safe, the more peaceful our summer nights can be.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

MotoGp has gotten awfully predictable of late, but I have to admit that I've enjoyed watching Rossi making up places during the races. 22 agree 3 disagree

Pin It Button Location Inconsistent in Chrome
Love the plugin and all the options included but I'm running into a few problems with the location of the pin it button in chrome and in safari on some buttons.
In chrome, the location of the button is supposed to be in the top left but as you can see here it does not render properly. You can also see that the button does not render properly on the sidebar images…although I will be adding a no pin class to these anyway.
Site: http://refashion.co/thirdlove-founders-talk-lingerie-personalized-fit-computer-vision/
This issue seems tied to this theme as another user is having a problem as seen here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/pin-it-button-not-appearing-top-left-in-chrome?replies=5
Another issue I've notices is a flickering that happens when you roll over images.
Thank you for your help.

HIV spotted inside human cell
Remarkable time-lapse pictures show, for the first time ever, HIV at work in a human cell.
The pictures offer proof that the virus uses the cell's own machinery to be dragged inside the cell.
An estimated 45 million people worldwide are living with HIV, according to the latest figures.
Scientists are learning more about how HIV causes damage once inside the cell, but, until very recently, very little was understood about how the virus gets in.
The study, by the University of Illinois at Chicago, reveals how HIV "hitches a ride" aboard a cell protein called dynein as it makes it way up tiny microtubules into the cell itself.
The tubules lead all the way to the cell's nucleus, where the virus can begin to start replicating by harnessing the cell's own ability to copy its genetic code.
Virus particles are only approximately 12 millionths of a centimetre in diameter, yet the University of Illinois team managed to produce pictures of them as they headed for their destination.
They did this by attaching green fluorescent proteins from jellyfish to them, then shining a blue light on them to make them glow.
Each HIV particle appears as a green dot on the background of the red tubules, which have also been marked with another fluorescent protein.
Professor David McDonald, one of the scientists leading the project, said: "They don't make a beeline for the nucleus.
"Their progress is somewhat halting. They appear to jump from one microtubule to another, moving in a jagged path, even sometimes moving backward, but they eventually reach their destination."
Professor Thomas Hope, another scientist involved in the project, said: "We hope this basic research will one day lead to new targets for drug therapy in the longstanding battle against Aids."
The pictures were published in the Journal of Cell Biology.

Jim is from Mt. Airy (west side of Cincinnati). Jim is a father of four grown children and he resides in West Chester Ohio.
Early on, I earned my degree in Business Management. I worked for a large corporation for 21 years. Early on I noticed that there was a great need for childcare and education in the Northern Kentucky community. Our desire is to offer the families of the Northern Kentucky community a state-of-the-art facility and a caring and educated staff that will work with them to build a solid foundation for our children.
Hi, my name is Laura Ruprecht. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Mental Health/Human Services in the fall of 2004 from Northern Kentucky University. I also obtained my Associate's Degree in Human Services while pursuing my Bachelor's degree. On June 1, 2011 I had my daughter, Olivia. She is such a blessing to have around!
My husband and I recently purchased our first house together. In my spare time I enjoy decorating our house and also spending quality time with my family and friends as well as reading and anything outdoors.
I have worked with children for over ten years, and luckily have been able to experience the teaching aspect in every age group as well as management. I have always enjoyed being around and working with children as they grow. It is such an accomplishment to know that my teachers and I are here to foster a safe, loving, and learning atmosphere for any child that walks through the doors of All About Kids.
Hello! My name is Jessica Fox. I'm 25 years old and I have a wonderful husband, Marc that I've been married to for 6 years. On June 18th, 2008 we had our perfect daughter Hailey Grace. I have worked in childcare for 6 years and love being around children. Every day you can count on something new with them. When you are having a bad day they always find a way to put a smile on your face. I have my CCC, CDA , Director's Credential and a Childcare Assistant certificate. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. I also make hair bows and love to scrapbook! I look forward to getting to know all of your children and enjoying my time here at All About Kids.
Hi! My name is Ashley Chapin. I live in Burlington Kentucky with my fiance, Bobby, and our wonderful children Joshua, Trevor, Paislee, and Grant. I have worked in childcare since 2005. I have done all age groups from infants to school age but just recently took a new job as the Development Coordinator. I still love watching the children grow in the classrooms but also enjoy helping the teachers create meaningful and education but fun activities for all the children.
Some of my interests outside of AAK include scrapbooking, making hair bows for my daughter, Paislee, and spending time with my family at parks, museums and zoos.
I have my Associate's Degree in Applied Science with special interest in Massage Therapy. I received my CDA in 2014 and plan on returning to achieve my Director's Credential and Early Childhood degree. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask! Thank you!
Hi, my name is Christy Shoemaker. I recently got married on June 18, 2011 to Chris Shoemaker. I have two animals – a cat named Lucky and a dog named Coco. I volunteer at Kenton Fire Department. I have been volunteering there for two years. I absolutely love fighting fires and helping people.
I am currently pursuing a career in Early Childhood Development. I am working on my CDA and taking a couple of classes at Gateway. I'm hoping to have my degree in two years!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to chat with me in Room 1!
Thank You, Miss Christy
Hello! My name is Chelsea Zembrodt. I am 20 years old and graduated from Ryle High School in '09. I have lived in Union, KY all of my life in the first house that my dad ever bought.
I am the youngest of three children. I have an older brother and an older sister. I have two nieces and one nephew, whom I love to spend time with whenever I can. I have been working with kids since I was twelve years old. I used to help my mom watch my niece while my sister was working.
A couple of my hobbies are camping, hanging out with friends, listening to country music, mudding, and, of course, babysitting.
Seeing kids learn and grow is so amazing. Before All About Kids, I worked at another local childcare center with school-agers. I love walking in the room and hearing the kids calling "Miss Chelsea", it brings a smile to my face. I love being able to teach children to walk, crawl, read and write – it is such a joy! If you have any questions you can find me in room 2!
Thanks, Miss Chelsea
Hello, my name is Carmellita Tincher, "Carmel" for short. I am a mother of five. I also fostered three children that needed a fun, loving and stable home. I just recently became a grandma by my foster children!
I enjoy children to the utmost fullest – to me they make the world go round! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, boating, hiking, and scrapbooking all of our wonderful pictures. I am very excited to be here and hope that I can help you and your family in any way that I can!
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wonderful child's life!

My name is Jacquelyn Marie Chambers! I was born in 1987. I grew up east of Cincinnati in a small town called Williamsburg. I was the captain of our volleyball team and cheerleading squad during my senior year. The school district was so small, as it continues today, that my final graduating class was only a class of 40!
I currently live with my parents and older sibling, Brittany, here in Union. Brittany is studying to be a registered nurse; I am very proud of her accomplishments thus far. My mother is an art teacher at a school located in Clermont County. My father is the Vice President of Facilities at St. Elizabeth Hospital. They are the best family that anyone could ask for! I also have another love in my life; his name is Andrew Oliver Miller! Andrew is 24 years old and we've been together for the last five years. I love him dearly and believe he is "The One!" He is an ornery, witty, handsome, prudent, ethical, responsible, driven, empathetic, artistic and intelligent tax accountant for a nationwide staffing company headquartered in downtown Cincinnati.
The reason I chose to work in childcare is the fact that children bring a smile to my face; not to mention I have a lot of energy to share! The job of watching one-year-olds makes me feel like Superwoman! A day spent at All About Kids is never ordinary. This job is challenging and rewarding at the same time. I would have to say that the best part of my day is arriving at work and receiving the greeting of a lifetime – all of my "kids" screaming "HEY" or "HI" and you honestly cannot beat that!
Miss Jacquie

In my "free time" I love to play soccer, scrapbook, be outside, and spend time with my family, friends, boyfriend and son. I plan on going back to school for special education. I feel privileged to be a part of your child's life and to be able to teach and learn from them as they grow. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

Dead Nation's Road to Devastation expansion has received a new game mode, Sony has announced.
In the just released Arcade mode, checkpoints revive fallen players and you can select a difficulty setting.
The new game type is a free update to Housemarque's top-down zombie shooter, but requires players to own the Road to Devastation DLC released last Autumn, priced at €3.99/�3.49.
Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead was lukewarm on the original game, giving it a 6/10. "There's a solid and satisfying shooter engine under the tired memes, and it's delivered with admirable attention to detail," he wrote in his Dead Nation review.
Many of you probably own the game because it was offered as a free download last year as part of Sony's 'Welcome Back' program, following the long-running PSN outage last Spring.

Clearly, anyone who is more concerned with arbitrary executive authority than Ben Wittes must be lying.
Well, maybe Robert Chesney can make that claim
no surprise, politifact has an unfortunate history of doing the least possible fact-checking, before making its pronouncements. one should take anything they say with caution, and check their facts. of course, one should do the same with pretty much anything.
Wow, a fight between Politifact and Glenn Greenwald. Can't they both be wrong?
Polifact rates your comment a "mostly true."
Glenn Greenwald working on a nine page piece on your ideological unreliability and naivete.
but Greenwald does nothing but win
It's all he does!
He just. Wins. Arguments.
Right, let's just ignore the fact that he's mostly gotten lucky against a bunch of weak-sauce opponents.
Honestly, it's the defense and special teams that give him such good field position.
Well, but when people get lucky and win with no discernable basis, that just shows that them winning was the will of god!
That was Romney's plan in 2012 and yet he seems to have screwed that up.
How is David Horowitz doing these days?
Playing cornerback for the Bears, last I heard.
Hey, now. That's a bit unfair. Sure, Ho'zer's arguments are weak-sauce, but that didn't make him a weak-sauce opponent. A weak-sauce opponent (1) doesn't get state legislatures to take his complete horseshit seriously, and (2) doesn't give off a vibe of being about to go for your eye with a tobacco knife. On the other hand, the Most Dangeral Professor seemed to be able to interact very cordially with Ho'zer one-on-one, so perhaps the sauce contains only a little bit of liquor … sort of like Professor Bérubé himself [Drum roll, cymbal sting].
Thanks, mds. But it's true that a competent, intelligible Horowitz would have been a more formidable foe.
Even the liberal Brookings Institute …
My thought exactly.
Soon it will be "even the liberal George W. Bush."
Brookings and Hoover? What a weird concoction of bullshit

text: Hi there! New member of this forum, though I've been lurking for a while. Tried to post this in the AE appreciation thread, but there was too much going on there and I didn't get any responses. This forum led me to buy my first pair of AEs about a year and a half ago - a pair of black Fifth Avenues. Before that, I had never spent more than $50 on a pair of dress shoes. This past December, I bought 2 more pairs during the post-Christmas sales at Nordstrom and Brooks Brothers. I have concerns with both pairs, and would appreciate some feedback! 1) AE McAllisters (burgundy) from Brooks Brothers: http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Leather-Wingtips/MH00216,default,pd.html Since this uses the same last as the Fifth Avenue, I was expecting this to fit as well as the Fifths. But because this is the Brooks Brothers version with a different sole, my foot doesn't sit as deeply in the shoe. As a result, I'm finding the shoes very tight and get heel slippage on one of my feet. Is this something that will resolve itself as I break the shoes in? Or should I give up and return them? 2) AE Cliftons (brown) from Nordstrom: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/allen-edmonds-clifton-oxford/3158930 The leather on one shoe appears to have some graining or lining (not sure what to call it) in particular areas but not throughout the shoe. The other shoe does not have this graining but has wrinkles in the leather in one area. See pictures of both below. Are these things normal, or should I try to exchange for another pair? Thanks in advance!!

Colorado has more mountains reaching at least 14,000 feet than any other state. It also has many organizations to support and promote artists. From performing arts to graphic art to painting, artists have a haven in beautiful Colorado. The state recognizes that the arts are an important addition to the economy; in metropolitan Denver alone, arts and culture generate $1.3 billion in economic activity annually!
Major universities, along with private four-year schools and community colleges, offer degree programs in the arts. Colorado State University, the University of Denver, and the University of Colorado are some of the more well-known universities, but there are also many smaller art schools in Colorado offering art programs, and technical schools for those interested in career-focused two-year programs.
