Chelsea expect to finalise the £27 million signing of Lyons midfielder Michael Essien in the next 48 hours after the player forced president Jean-Michael Aulas back to the negotiating table.
Chelsea have remained in dialogue with Lyons despite Aulas's previous claim that the proposed transfer was dead.
But the player is reported to have presented Aulas with no option but to reconsider his position after saying he would not sign any new contract offered by Lyons.
Aulas had hoped to keep the Ghanaian international midfielder on a long-term contract with a massive pay increase but Essien said he would not even discuss such a deal.
The rebuttal forced Aulas to pick up the phone and call Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich, who is holidaying in St Tropez.
Abramovich then agreed to meet Aulas to discuss Essien's £27m transfer with the full backing of Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon.
Essien's stance has effectively forced Aulas to hammer out a deal with Chelsea in spite of his claims that any chance of a transfer had evaporated just 24 hours ago.
Kenyon is now expected to fly out to France to conclude the long-running transfer saga within the next two days.
Providing there are no last-minute hitches, Essien's arrival will at last provide Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho with the midfielder he has coveted all summer.
Midfielder Gilberto Silva has indicated his desire to sign a new contract at Arsenal
Gilberto, 28, has a deal that runs out at the end of this season, with Arsenal at risk of losing him on a free transfer if they cannot negotiate new terms.
With Patrick Vieira having already left in a £13.8 million move to Juventus, Wenger will be looking to keep the experienced Brazilian.
"My contract runs until August 2006. I am extremely calm and happy with the possibility to renew the contract," Gilberto said.
"We will sit down and talk about it. I will leave Arsenal only if a wonderful chance appears to leave here. I share the will of the club, know the staff well and already I've made some history here."
Thierry Henry, who has two years left on his contract, has also indicated his willingness to sign a new deal.
Henry last week insisted talks were already "on", while Wenger revealed negotiations would start soon with his new captain.
"Thierry was busy during the holidays because he had a daughter and was very busy with that," Wenger said.
"We agreed to get through the summer and do it when the season has started. We will sit down with Thierry as soon as he is ready.
"When I decided to make him captain, one of the reasons was because he was always in his statements committed to the club.
"I don't know why it would have changed since he has become captain and I hope it will not change."
Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia has agreed a new contract which will keep him at Anfield in 2008.
Hyypia, 32, will sign the new deal on Thursday when he returns from Liverpool's Champions League qualifier against CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria.
He joined Liverpool for £3 million from Dutch club Willem II in 1999.
"Obviously I am very, very happy to agree a new contract with Liverpool," he said.
"We have been talking for a few weeks and I had no hesitation in committing my future to Rafael Benitez.
"Everybody wants to play for Liverpool at the moment and it is an honour to say that I will be here for at least another three years."
Steve Bruce has revealed Birmingham midfielder Mehdi Nafti will more than likely miss the whole of next season through injury.
Bruce also claimed that his team have suffered injuries like "no other Premiership club" over the last 12 months after Tunisian Nafti was ruled out for the long term with a serious knee injury when a scan revealed a torn cruciate ligament suffered during a friendly against Deportivo La Coruna.
The 26-year-old joined the St Andrews club on a permanent deal after spending the second half of last season on loan from Racing Santander.
Bruce said: "It is a terrible blow for Mehdi and we all feel for him. He was looking really good in pre-season. We just wish him all the best and hope that he can have a speedy recovery.
"As for whether he's out for the season, you would have to think so.
Bolton manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed he is in talks with Japan international Hidetoshi Nakata with a view to him joining the Trotters.
Allardyce confirmed as much when he said "Hidetoshi is a player I admire and it would be great to have him on board. We will see how the talks progress over the next couple of days."
Nakata joined Fiorentina last summer but things have turned sour as the club have been struggling financially.
Nakata was an instant success in Italian football after his move from Japanese side Bellmare Hiratsuka in 1998. The 28-year-old scored 10 goals in 33 appearances with Perugia before he joined Roma where he won the Scudetto in 2001.
He then joined Parma in a big-money move ahead of the 2001-02 season and played there for two-and-a-half seasons before leaving for Bologna and fi9nally moving to Fiorentina where he made 20 appearances.
Talks between Inter Milan's Francesco Coco's and Newcastle have broken down after the clubs failed to agree terms over a proposed loan move.
The 28-year-old Italian was expected to join Graeme Souness's side on a temporary basis with a view to a permanent transfer, but is returning to Italy after being withdrawn from the squad for last night's game against Bray Wanderers.
Manchester City have offered a week's trial to former Barcelona stalwart Pep Guardiola.
The 34-year-old spent 17 years at the Nou Camp before spells at Brescia and Roma in Italy's Serie A.
He then moved on to Qatar, where he came to the attention of former City favourite Ali Benarbia, who suggested Pearce have a look at him.
Guardiola will train with the Stuart Pearce's squad for the next seven days, allowing Pearce to assess whether he can stand the rigours of the Premiership.

Deputy Attorneys General Brian Robertson and Dan McBride obtained an 18-year prison sentence for Damiere Harris, 23, of New Castle. Harris pled guilty in March, and was sentenced by the court on his convictions for Manslaughter and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony. In April 2014, Harris shot Sinque Hagler as he sat in a parked car in the 2700 block of N. Claymont Street in Wilmington.
Deputy Attorney General Rebecca Song secured guilty verdicts on all charges against 40-year-old Miguel Rivera of Wilmington. In August 2015, Wilmington Police received a tip that Rivera was conducting drug deals from a car near the intersection of 4th and Franklin Streets. After searching the vehicle, police found 41 grams of cocaine and a digital scale. A jury found Rivera guilty of Aggravated Possession (Tier 5 quantity of cocaine), Drug Dealing (Tier 4 quantity of cocaine), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Rivera faces 2 to 25 years in prison when sentenced by the court.
Deputy Attorney General Barzilai Axelrod secured convictions following a jury trial of Eric Simmons, 40, of Des Moines, Iowa, for Drug Dealing (Tier 4 quantity of heroin), Drug Possession (Tier 5 quantity of heroin), Possession of Ammunition by a Person Prohibited, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Disregarding a Police Officer Signal, Turning Without Use of a Turn Signal, and Driving Without an Insurance Card. In April 2015, a Delaware State Trooper attempted to stop a car driven by Simmons along I-95 near the Marsh Road exit. Simmons initially made it seem like he was going to pull off of the highway, but failed to pull over and then continued to travel another two miles before finally stopping. The Trooper found a total of 40.75 grams of heroin in the car, along with 4 grams of marijuana, items used to package and distribute heroin, and a box with handgun ammunition. The defendant was also indicted on other charges but the jury did not return a verdict.
Deputy Attorney General Michael DegliObizzi secured a conviction against Alexa Tucker, 20, of Newark to two counts of Robbery 1st, one count of Robbery 2nd, and one count of conspiracy 2nd. In October 2015, Tucker robbed the 7-11 in the 600 block of East Chestnut Hill Road in Newark at gunpoint, taking an unknown amount of cash and packs of cigarettes. Later in the month, she held up the Valero gas station in the 800 block of South DuPont Highway in New Castle at gunpoint. There, Tucker took $50.00, 35 packs of cigarettes, the clerk's cell phone, and a bottle of soda. Tucker will be sentenced by the court in July.
Deputy Attorney General Marc Petrucci secured a conviction against Samuel Young, 27, of Smyrna, to two counts of Vehicular Assault 2nd, two counts of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol 1st Offense, and Assault 3rd. In March of 2015, Young crashed into a mailbox in the 1400 block of Cedar Lane Road in Middletown while he was driving drunk and assaulting his girlfriend who was riding in the car. In October of 2015, he was driving under the influence on North DuPont Parkway, just south of Pine Tree Corner Road in Townsend when he hit a car, injuring two of the people in the other vehicle. Young is scheduled for sentencing by the court in July.Related Topics: Attorney General Matt Denn • Delaware Department of Justice • superior court

Magento is a dynamic and feature-rich e-commerce platform, allowing millions of online players to enhance and control the functioning of their online store. For those who are a part of this retail space, can consider the platform as a secret weapon to keep their competitors on the back foot. The CMS platform is great in the way it offers a powerful catalog management system, SEO optimization, and sophisticated marketing tools to allow store owners gain a more competitive edge.
However, as the competition becoming fierce, online retailers have started realizing the possibilities online channels provide to boost their sales. For the e-commerce store owner, it's an uphill battle to get the bottom of what works for their website and what's absolutely not. For this they keep on integrating their website with various tools that help them spruce up the overall functionality and personality of their website.
As we know that Magento is a highly flexible platform, means it can be customized easily to suit the ongoing requirements of your business. The platform provides various ways to help you revamp the layout, design, as well as the performance of your store. Those who have set up their online channel on Magento can easily extend its operations by going beyond the default functions and embed third-party tools or scripts in its themes.
These third-party scripts are exceptionally reliable when it comes to strengthening the productivity of your store. For this purpose, store owners need to add third-party scripts in Magento stores. For those who are fully aware of the nuts and bolts of HTML and JavaScript, can easily make additions to enhance their store. Magento lets you add custom, third-party scripts to make the best use of your theme and make it more appealing and functioning.
In this tutorial, I am going to discuss about the ways through which third-party scripts can be added to your Magento theme. All the steps mentioned are easy to learn and will surely help you in revamping your overall Magento store in the most effective manner. These third-party services could be anything ranging from Google Analytics, Alexa, and codes snippets used to track data about the website. So, without further ado, let's discuss about the guide in detail.
How To Add Third-party Scripts in Magento
While using third-party web applications and services, you'll be provided with a code which should be added in the HTML file. However, while adding the code make sure it is placed either before the opening of thetag or after closing of thetag . We have two approaches to add this miscellaneous code. The easiest way to place HTML code is into your HTML templates, but more likely you'll want to add it on either the HTML or area of your page. To know how to add the code, simply follow the below mentioned steps.
Understanding The Process of Adding Code To the HTML Header
- First of all navigate to the admin menu, and select "System" and then "Configuration".
- Now, on the left side of your admin panel, choose the option "Design". After this, you can click to expand the header section.
- Once you are done with this, you will be getting a "Miscellaneous Scripts" text box. It's the same box wherein you need to paste the code. Not to forget about reviewing the code to ensure whether it is placed accurately or not.
- Now, save all the changes made by clicking on the "Save Config" button.
- After completing the above mentioned steps, it's time to examine the working of the script. For this it is recommended to clear your browser cache before going back to the store to check the script.
Understanding The Process of Adding Code To the HTML Footer
- Here also, go to the Admin Area, and then select System> Configuration
- Within the admin panel, again select "Design", and then click to enlarge the "Footer" section.
- Now, you are provided with a Miscellaneous Scripts text box, wherein you need to paste the code. Here, again it is recommended to make a formal assessment of your code to ensure whether it's working fine or not.
- Proceed to click on the "Save Config" button to save the changes made.
- Once done with the above mentioned steps, you are required to evaluate the script to ensure its relevancy. Here also clear your browser cache and then go back to the store to test the script.
After completing the above mentioned steps, the embedded code will be appear in the Magento store.
What Script would look like:
You can enter any kind of script here e.g. any tracking code like Google or mouseflow. Once you save the conofiguration, it will start getting reflected within the header or footer of website. Once of the sample Google Analytics code is shared below:
<script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script>
and once saved, it should be appearing within your source code of your website (you can view by ctrl + u in browsers):
Let's Wrap Up
And there we have it all, I hope find the tutorial useful in understanding the process of embedding third-party scripts to your Magento theme.

Midnapore, Nov. 18: Bangladeshi deputy high commissioner Tauhid Hossain today called the recent exchange of fire between the Border Security Force and the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) simple misunderstanding and denied the countrys government having any information on terrorist training camps there.
Hossain, who inaugurated a fair of Bangladeshi books at the Vidyasagar University, reminded that the border is fenceless and the demarcations natural. He added: Problems have arisen but this is nothing our two friendly countries cannot resolve.
Two border guards from both countries had recently opened fire at Hingalgunge over the construction of a jetty on the Indian side of the Ichhamati river.
Hossain said the Khaleda Zia government had no information on clandestine militant camps in Bangladesh.
If we get any definite report from India, we will look into it, he said while reacting to Union home minister L.K. Advanis charge that the ISI was carrying out anti-India activities from Bangladeshi territory.

business cards
One step that I have been avoiding since starting to sell online has been business cards. I just thought them to be for "real" businesses and I would always say that what I'm doing was just a hobby. But in order for others to see me as a real business, I have to see myself as one first.
I bought these business cards on Vistaprint along with some thank you cards. I'm not going to say that I find it both intimidating and a bit humorous that I have business cards, I'm just much more laid back and you wouldn't think that I'd have any type of cards. But I am so excited to put them to use. I'm trying to keep myself on task, because everyone knows that the first six months to a year of starting anything new is hard, but this is where I'm starting to see that it's so worth it.
I'm chasing my daydream with all I have, and so far it's been a great adventure.

Can You Help Save Wimborne Folk Festival
10:37am 23rd August 2012
Volunteers are needed if a popular Dorset folk festival is to carry on.
After 20 year's East Dorset District Council will no longer be running Wimborne Folk Festival due to cuts in their funding from central government.
They say they've contributed £300,000 to the event over its lifetime, and this year alone gave £14,000.
The council says it will maintain its 2012 funding for the event into 2013 and will work with interested parties who come forward with a viable bid.
Anyone interested in meeting the Council to discuss the future of the Folk Festival in Wimborne should contact Matti Raudsepp, Head of Leisure and Open Spaces on 01202 886201 or via email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

LIVESTOCK MARKETING ASSOCIATION et al.
NEBRASKA CATTLEMEN, INC., et al., PETITIONERS
03–1165 v.
LIVESTOCK MARKETING ASSOCIATION et al.
on writs of certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the eighth circuit
[May 23, 2005]
Justice Scalia delivered the opinion of the Court.
For the third time in eight years, we consider whether a federal program that finances generic advertising to promote an agricultural product violates the First Amendment. In these cases, unlike the previous two, the dispositive question is whether the generic advertising at issue is the Government's own speech and therefore is exempt from First Amendment scrutiny.
The Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985 (Beef Act or Act), 99 Stat. 1597, announces a federal policy of promoting the marketing and consumption of "beef and beef products," using funds raised by an assessment on cattle sales and importation. 7 U. S. C. §2901(b). The statute directs the Secretary of Agriculture to implement this policy by issuing a Beef Promotion and Research Order (Beef Order or Order), §2903, and specifies four key terms it must contain: The Secretary is to appoint a Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board (Beef Board or Board), whose members are to be a geographically representative group of beef producers and importers, nominated by trade associations. §2904(1). The Beef Board is to convene an Operating Committee, composed of 10 Beef Board members and 10 representatives named by a federation of state beef councils. §2904(4)(A). The Secretary is to impose a $1-per-head assessment (or "checkoff") on all sales or importation of cattle and a comparable assessment on imported beef products. §2904(8). And the assessment is to be used to fund beef-related projects, including promotional campaigns, designed by the Operating Committee and approved by the Secretary. §§2904(4)(B), (C).
The Secretary promulgated the Beef Order with the specified terms. The assessment is collected primarily by state beef councils, which then forward the proceeds to the Beef Board. 7 CFR §1260.172(a)(5) (2004).[Footnote 1] The Operating Committee proposes projects to be funded by the checkoff, including promotion and research. §1260.167(a). The Secretary or his designee (see §§2.22(a)(1)(viii)(X), 2.79(a)(8)(xxxii)) approves each project and, in the case of promotional materials, the content of each communication. §§1260.168(e), 1260.169; App. 114, 143.
The Beef Order was promulgated in 1986 on a temporary basis, subject to a referendum among beef producers on whether to make it permanent. 7 U. S. C. §§2903, 2906(a). In May 1988, a large majority voted to continue it. Since that time, more than $1 billion has been collected through the checkoff, 132 F. Supp. 2d 817, 820 (SD 2001), and a large fraction of that sum has been spent on promotional projects authorized by the Beef Act—many using the familiar trademarked slogan "Beef. It's What's for Dinner." App. 50. In fiscal year 2000, for example, the Beef Board collected over $48 million in assessments and spent over $29 million on domestic promotion. The Board also funds overseas marketing efforts; market and food-science research, such as evaluations of the nutritional value of beef; and informational campaigns for both consumers and beef producers. See 7 U. S. C. §§2902(6), (9), (15), 2904(4)(B).
Many promotional messages funded by the checkoff (though not all, see App. 52–53) bear the attribution "Funded by America's Beef Producers." E.g., id., at 50–51. Most print and television messages also bear a Beef Board logo, usually a check-mark with the word "BEEF." E.g., id., at 50–52.
Respondents are two associations whose members collect and pay the checkoff, and several individuals who raise and sell cattle subject to the checkoff. Id., at 17–19. They sued the Secretary, the Department of Agriculture, and the Board in Federal District Court on a number of constitutional and statutory grounds not before us—in particular, that the Board impermissibly used checkoff funds to send communications supportive of the beef program to beef producers. 132 F. Supp. 2d, at 823. Petitioners in No. 03–1165, a state beef producers' association and two individual producers, intervened as defendants to argue in support of the program. The District Court granted a limited preliminary injunction, which forbade the continued use of checkoff funds to laud the beef program or to lobby for governmental action relating to the checkoff. Id., at 832.
While the litigation was pending, we held in United States v. United Foods, Inc., 533 U. S. 405 (2001), that a mandatory checkoff for generic mushroom advertising violated the First Amendment. Noting that the mushroom program closely resembles the beef program,[Footnote 2] respondents amended their complaint to assert a First Amendment challenge to the use of the beef checkoff for promotional activity. 207 F. Supp. 2d 992, 996 (SD 2002); App. 30–32. Respondents noted that the advertising promotes beef as a generic commodity, which, they contended, impedes their efforts to promote the superiority of, inter alia, American beef, grain-fed beef, or certified Angus or Hereford beef.
After a bench trial, the District Court ruled for respondents on their First Amendment claim. It declared that the Beef Act and Beef Order unconstitutionally compel respondents to subsidize speech to which they object, and rejected the Government's contention that the checkoff survives First Amendment scrutiny because it funds only government speech. 207 F. Supp. 2d, at 1002–1007. The court entered a permanent injunction barring any further collection of the beef checkoff, even from producers willing to pay (allowing continued collection of voluntary checkoffs, the court thought, would require "rewrit[ing]" the Beef Act). Id., at 1007–1008. Believing that the cost of calculating the share of the checkoff attributable to the compelled subsidy would be too great, the court also declined to order a refund of checkoff funds already collected. Ibid. Finally, the court made permanent its earlier injunction against "producer communications" praising the beef program or seeking to influence governmental policy. Id., at 1008. The court did not rule on respondents' other claims, but certified its resolution of the First Amendment claim as final pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). 207 F. Supp. 2d, at 1008.
The Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed. 335 F. 3d 711 (2003). Unlike the District Court, the Court of Appeals did not dispute that the challenged advertising is government speech; instead, it held that government speech status is relevant only to First Amendment challenges to the speech's content, not to challenges to its compelled funding. See id., at 720–721. Compelled funding of speech, it held, may violate the First Amendment even if the speech in question is the government's. Ibid.
We granted certiorari. 541 U. S. 1062 (2004).
We have sustained First Amendment challenges to allegedly compelled expression in two categories of cases: true "compelled speech" cases, in which an individual is obliged personally to express a message he disagrees with, imposed by the government; and "compelled subsidy" cases, in which an individual is required by the government to subsidize a message he disagrees with, expressed by a private entity. We have not heretofore considered the First Amendment consequences of government-compelled subsidy of the government's own speech.
We first invalidated an outright compulsion of speech in West Virginia Bd. of Ed. v. Barnette, 319 U. S. 624 (1943). The State required every schoolchild to recite the Pledge of Allegiance while saluting the American flag, on pain of expulsion from the public schools. We held that the First Amendment does not "le[ave] it open to public authorities to compel [a person] to utter" a message with which he does not agree. Id., at 634. Likewise, in Wooley v. Maynard, 430 U. S. 705 (1977), we held that requiring a New Hampshire couple to bear the State's motto, "Live Free or Die," on their cars' license plates was an impermissible compulsion of expression. Obliging people to "use their private property as a 'mobile billboard' for the State's ideological message" amounted to impermissible compelled expression. Id., at 715.
The reasoning of these compelled-speech cases has been carried over to certain instances in which individuals are compelled not to speak, but to subsidize a private message with which they disagree. Thus, although we have upheld state-imposed requirements that lawyers be members of the state bar and pay its annual dues, and that public-school teachers either join the labor union representing their "shop" or pay "service fees" equal to the union dues, we have invalidated the use of the compulsory fees to fund speech on political matters. See Keller v. State Bar of Cal., 496 U. S. 1 (1990); Abood v. Detroit Bd. of Ed., 431 U. S. 209 (1977). Bar or union speech with such content, we held, was not germane to the regulatory interests that justified compelled membership, and accordingly, making those who disagreed with it pay for it violated the First Amendment. See Keller, supra, at 15–16; Abood, supra, at 234–235.
These latter cases led us to sustain a compelled-subsidy challenge to an assessment very similar to the beef checkoff, imposed to fund mushroom advertising. United Foods, supra; see 335 F. 3d, at 717 ("[W]e agree with the district court that '[t]he beef checkoff is, in all material respects, identical to the mushroom checkoff' " at issue in United Foods). Deciding the case on the assumption that the advertising was private speech, not government speech, see 533 U. S., at 416–417,[Footnote 3] we concluded that Abood and Keller were controlling. As in those cases, mushroom producers were obliged by "law or necessity" to pay the checkoff; although Abood and Keller would permit the mandatory fee if it were "germane" to a "broader regulatory scheme," in United Foods the only regulatory purpose was the funding of the advertising. 533 U. S., at 413, 415–416.
In all of the cases invalidating exactions to subsidize speech, the speech was, or was presumed to be, that of an entity other than the government itself. See Keller, supra, at 11, 15–16; Abood, supra, at 212–213; United Foods, supra, at 416–417; see also Board of Regents of Univ. of Wis. System v. Southworth, 529 U. S. 217, 229, 230 (2000) (because "[t]he University ha[s] disclaimed that the speech is its own," Abood and Keller "provide the beginning point for our analysis"); cf. Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of Univ. of Va., 515 U. S. 819, 851–852 (1995) (O'Connor, J., concurring) (university's Student Activities Fund likely does not unconstitutionally compel speech because it "represents not government resources … but a fund that simply belongs to the students"). Our compelled-subsidy cases have consistently respected the principle that "[c]ompelled support of a private association is fundamentally different from compelled support of government." Abood, supra, at 259, n. 13 (Powell, J., concurring in judgment). "Compelled support of government"—even those programs of government one does not approve—is of course perfectly constitutional, as every taxpayer must attest. And some government programs involve, or entirely consist of, advocating a position. "The government, as a general rule, may support valid programs and policies by taxes or other exactions binding on protesting parties. Within this broader principle it seems inevitable that funds raised by the government will be spent for speech and other expression to advocate and defend its own policies." Southworth, 529 U. S., at 229. We have generally assumed, though not yet squarely held, that compelled funding of government speech does not alone raise First Amendment concerns. See ibid.; Keller, supra, at 12–13; Rosenberger, supra, at 833; see also Wooley, supra, at 721 (Rehnquist, J., dissenting).
Respondents do not seriously dispute these principles, nor do they contend that, as a general matter, their First Amendment challenge requires them to show only that their checkoff dollars pay for speech with which they disagree. Rather, they assert that the challenged promotional campaigns differ dispositively from the type of government speech that, our cases suggest, is not susceptible to First Amendment challenge. They point to the role of the Beef Board and its Operating Committee in designing the promotional campaigns, and to the use of a mandatory assessment on beef producers to fund the advertising. We consider each in turn.
The Secretary of Agriculture does not write ad copy himself. Rather, the Beef Board's promotional campaigns are designed by the Beef Board's Operating Committee, only half of whose members are Beef Board members appointed by the Secretary. (All members of the Operating Committee are subject to removal by the Secretary. 7 CFR §1260.213 (2004).) Respondents contend that speech whose content is effectively controlled by a nongovernmental entity—the Operating Committee—cannot be considered "government speech." We need not address this contention, because we reject its premise: The message of the promotional campaigns is effectively controlled by the Federal Government itself.[Footnote 4]
The message set out in the beef promotions is from beginning to end the message established by the Federal Government.[Footnote 5] Congress has directed the implementation of a "coordinated program" of promotion, "including paid advertising, to advance the image and desirability of beef and beef products." 7 U. S. C. §§2901(b), 2902(13). Congress and the Secretary have also specified, in general terms, what the promotional campaigns shall contain, see, e.g., §2904(4)(B)(i) (campaigns "shall … take into account" different types of beef products), and what they shall not, see, e.g., 7 CFR §1260.169(d) (2004) (campaigns shall not, without prior approval, refer "to a brand or trade name of any beef product"). Thus, Congress and the Secretary have set out the overarching message and some of its elements, and they have left the development of the remaining details to an entity whose members are answerable to the Secretary (and in some cases appointed by him as well).
Moreover, the record demonstrates that the Secretary exercises final approval authority over every word used in every promotional campaign. All proposed promotional messages are reviewed by Department officials both for substance and for wording, and some proposals are rejected or rewritten by the Department. App. 114, 118–121, 274–275. Nor is the Secretary's role limited to final approval or rejection: officials of the Department also attend and participate in the open meetings at which proposals are developed. Id., at 111–112.
This degree of governmental control over the message funded by the checkoff distinguishes these cases from Keller. There the state bar's communicative activities to which the plaintiffs objected were not prescribed by law in their general outline and not developed under official government supervision. Indeed, many of them consisted of lobbying the state legislature on various issues. See 496 U. S., at 5, and n. 2. When, as here, the government sets the overall message to be communicated and approves every word that is disseminated, it is not precluded from relying on the government-speech doctrine merely because it solicits assistance from nongovernmental sources in developing specific messages.
Respondents also contend that the beef program does not qualify as "government speech" because it is funded by a targeted assessment on beef producers, rather than by general revenues. This funding mechanism, they argue, has two relevant effects: it gives control over the beef program not to politically accountable legislators, but to a narrow interest group that will pay no heed to respondents' dissenting views, and it creates the perception that the advertisements speak for beef producers such as respondents.
We reject the first point. The compelled-subsidy analysis is altogether unaffected by whether the funds for the promotions are raised by general taxes or through a targeted assessment. Citizens may challenge compelled support of private speech, but have no First Amendment right not to fund government speech. And that is no less true when the funding is achieved through targeted assessments devoted exclusively to the program to which the assessed citizens object. Cf. United States v. Lee, 455 U. S. 252, 260 (1982) ("There is no principled way … to distinguish between general taxes and those imposed under the Social Security Act" in evaluating the burden on the right to free exercise of religion). The First Amendment does not confer a right to pay one's taxes into the general fund, because the injury of compelled funding (as opposed to the injury of compelled speech) does not stem from the Government's mode of accounting. Cf. Bowen v. Roy, 476 U. S. 693, 700 (1986) ("The Free Exercise Clause … does not afford an individual a right to dictate the conduct of the Government's internal procedures"); id., at 716–717 (Stevens, J., concurring in part and concurring in result).
Some of our cases have justified compelled funding of government speech by pointing out that government speech is subject to democratic accountability. See, e.g., Abood, 431 U. S., at 259, n. 13 (Powell, J., concurring in judgment); Southworth, 529 U. S., at 235. But our references to "traditional political controls," id., at 229, do not signify that the First Amendment duplicates the Appropriations Clause, U. S. Const., Art. I, §9, cl. 7, or that every instance of government speech must be funded by a line item in an appropriations bill. Here, the beef advertisements are subject to political safeguards more than adequate to set them apart from private messages. The program is authorized and the basic message prescribed by federal statute, and specific requirements for the promotions' content are imposed by federal regulations promulgated after notice and comment. The Secretary of Agriculture, a politically accountable official, oversees the program, appoints and dismisses the key personnel, and retains absolute veto power over the advertisements' content, right down to the wording.[Footnote 6] And Congress, of course, retains oversight authority, not to mention the ability to reform the program at any time. No more is required.[Footnote 7]
As to the second point, respondents' argument proceeds as follows: They contend that crediting the advertising to "America's Beef Producers" impermissibly uses not only their money but also their seeming endorsement to promote a message with which they do not agree. Communications cannot be "government speech," they argue, if they are attributed to someone other than the government; and the person to whom they are attributed, when he is, by compulsory funding, made the unwilling instrument of communication, may raise a First Amendment objection.
We need not determine the validity of this argument—which relates to compelled speech rather than compelled subsidy [Footnote 8]—with regard to respondents' facial challenge. Since neither the Beef Act nor the Beef Order requires attribution, neither can be the cause of any possible First Amendment harm. The District Court's order enjoining the enforcement of the Act and the Order thus cannot be sustained on this theory.
On some set of facts, this second theory might (again, we express no view on the point) form the basis for an as-applied challenge—if it were established, that is, that individual beef advertisements were attributed to respondents. The record, however, includes only a stipulated sampling of these promotional materials, see App. 47, and none of the exemplars provides any support for this attribution theory except for the tagline identifying the funding. Respondents apparently presented no other evidence of attribution at trial, and the District Court made no factual findings on the point. Indeed, in the only trial testimony on the subject that any party has identified, an employee of one of the respondent associations said he did not think the beef promotions would be attributed to his group.[Footnote 9] Whether the individual respondents who are beef producers would be associated with speech labeled as coming from "America's Beef Producers" is a question on which the trial record is altogether silent. We have only the funding tagline itself, a trademarked term[Footnote 10] that, standing alone, is not sufficiently specific to convince a reasonable factfinder that any particular beef producer, or all beef producers, would be tarred with the content of each trademarked ad.[Footnote 11] We therefore conclude that on the record before us an as-applied First Amendment challenge to the individual advertisements affords no basis on which to sustain the Eighth Circuit's judgment, even in part.
Respondents' complaint asserted a number of other grounds for declaring the Beef Act, the Beef Order, or both invalid in their entirety. The District Court, having enjoined the Act and the Order on the basis of the First Amendment, had no occasion to address these other grounds. Respondents may now proceed on these other claims.
The judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated, and the cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
In most cases, only 50 cents per head is remitted to the Beef Board, because the Beef Act and Beef Order allow domestic producers to deduct from their $1 assessment up to 50 cents in voluntary contributions to their state beef councils. 7 U. S. C. §2904(8)(C); 7 CFR §1260.172(a)(3) (2004).Footnote 2
The Department of Agriculture oversees similar programs of promotional advertising, funded by checkoffs, for a number of other agricultural commodities. See 7 CFR §1205.10 et seq. (2004) (cotton); §1207.301 et seq. (potatoes); §1210.301 et seq. (watermelons); §1215.1 et seq. (popcorn); §1216.1 et seq. (peanuts); §1218.1 et seq. (blueberries); §1219.1 et seq. (Hass avocados); §1220.101 et seq. (soybeans); §1230.1 et seq. (pork); §1240.1 et seq. (honey); §1250.301 et seq. (eggs); §1280.101 et seq. (lamb).Footnote 3
In United Foods, the Court distinguished (and the dissent relied on) Glickman v. Wileman Brothers & Elliott, Inc., 521 U. S. 457 (1997), which upheld the use of mandatory assessments to fund generic advertising promoting California tree fruit. In Glickman, as in United Foods, the Government did not argue that the advertising was permissible government speech. See 521 U. S., at 482, n. 2 (Souter, J., dissenting) (noting that the Government had waived any such argument). Rather, the Government contended, and we agreed, that compelled support for generic advertising was legitimately part of the Government's "collectivist" centralization of the market for tree fruit. Id., at 475 (opinion of the Court). Here, as in United Foods, "there is no broader regulatory system in place" that collectivizes aspects of the beef market unrelated to speech, so Glickman is not controlling. 533 U. S., at 415.Footnote 4
We therefore need not label the Operating Committee as "governmental" or "nongovernmental." The entity to which assessments are remitted is the Beef Board, all of whose members are appointed by the Secretary pursuant to law. The Operating Committee's only relevant involvement is ancillary—it designs the promotional campaigns, which the Secretary supervises and approves—and its status as a state actor thus is not directly at issue.Footnote 5
The principal dissent suggests that if this is so, then the Government has adopted at best a mixed message, because it also promulgates dietary guidelines that, if followed, would discourage excessive consumption of beef. Post, at 8, n. 5 (opinion of Souter, J.); see also post, at 1 (Ginsburg, J., concurring in judgment). Even if we agreed that the protection of the government-speech doctrine must be forfeited whenever there is inconsistency in the message, we would nonetheless accord the protection here. The beef promotions are perfectly compatible with the guidelines' message of moderate consumption—the ads do not insist that beef is also What's for Breakfast, Lunch, and Midnight Snack.Footnote 6
Congress also required a referendum among producers before permanently implementing the checkoff, and allowed the Secretary to call another referendum upon demand of a "representative group" comprising 10 percent of cattle producers. 7 U. S. C. §§2906(a)–(b). Even before they amended their complaint to challenge the checkoff as compelled speech, respondents were seeking in this litigation to force such a referendum. See 207 F. Supp. 2d 992, 995 (SD 2002).Footnote 7
The principal dissent finds some "First Amendment affront" in all compelled funding of government speech—and when, it says, "a targeted assessment . . . makes the First Amendment affront more galling, … greater care is required to assure that the political process can practically respond to limit the compulsion." Post, at 7. That greater care consists, the dissent says, of a requirement that government speech funded by a targeted assessment must identify government as the speaker. Post, at 8–9. The dissent cites no prior practice, no precedent, and no authority for this highly refined elaboration—not even anyone who has ever before thought of it. It is more than we think can be found within "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech." Of course, nothing in the Beef Act or Beef Order prevents the government from identifying itself as sponsor of the ads—much less requires concealment of the ads' provenance—so even if it were correct, this theory would not sustain the judgment below, which altogether enjoined the Act and the Order. But the correct focus is not on whether the ads' audience realizes the government is speaking, but on the compelled assessment's purported interference with respondents' First Amendment rights. As we hold today, respondents enjoy no right not to fund government speech—whether by broad-based taxes or targeted assessments, and whether or not the reasonable viewer would identify the speech as the government's. If a viewer would identify the speech as respondents', however, the analysis would be different. See infra, at 13–14, and n. 8.Footnote 8
The principal dissent conflates the two concepts into something it describes as citizens' "presumptive autonomy as speakers to decide what to say and what to pay for others to say." Post, at 7. As we discuss in the text, there might be a valid objection if "those singled out to pay the tax are closely linked with the expression" (post, at 7) in a way that makes them appear to endorse the government message. But this compelled-speech argument (like the Wooley and Barnette opinions on which it draws) differs substantively from the compelled-subsidy analysis. The latter invalidates an exaction not because being forced to pay for speech that is unattributed violates personal autonomy, but because being forced to fund someone else's private speech unconnected to any legitimate government purpose violates personal autonomy. Supra, at 6 (discussing Keller and Abood). Such a violation does not occur when the exaction funds government speech. Apportioning the burden of funding government operations (including speech) through taxes and other levies does not violate autonomy simply because individual taxpayers feel "singled out" or find the exaction "galling," post, at 7, and n. 4.Footnote 9
An employee of respondent Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC) testified as follows:
"Q When someone would see an ad that says, 'Beef, it's what's for dinner,' do you believe anyone looks at that ad and says that message is coming from WORC?
"A I don't think so.
"Q … [D]o you have any basis to actually believe that any of these messages promoted by the Cattlemen's Beef Board are attributed to WORC as an organization?
"A No, I don't think so." Tr. 46–47.Footnote 10
The phrase "America's Beef Producers" has apparently been trademarked by the Board since 1999, see http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/ tarr?regser=registration&entry=2352917 (as visited May 20, 2005, and available in Clerk of Court's case file), and some promotional materials are attributed to "America's Beef ProducersSM." Other promotional materials in the record, however, bear other attributions (such as a notice identifying the Beef Board as the copyright holder, or the apparently untrademarked phrase "Funded by America's Veal Producers through the Beef Checkoff"). App. 52.Footnote 11
"America's Beef Producers" might be thought more plausibly to refer to a particular organization of beef producers, and such an organization might have a valid First Amendment objection if the ads' message were incorrectly attributed to it. Cf. Hurley v. Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston, Inc., 515 U. S. 557, 572–573 (1995). But neither of the respondent groups claims that it would be mistaken for "America's Beef Producers," see n. 9, supra, and none of the individual respondents claims to be injured because of his membership in an organization. Rather, respondents claim that "America's Beef Producers" is precise enough to identify the speech as coming from Robert Thullner, John Smith, Ernie Mertz, and the other respondents who are American beef producers.

Ranieri still hopes for Sissoko
Claudio Ranieri has confirmed that he is still hoping to sign Mohamed Sissoko from Liverpool.
Last Updated: 21/01/08 12:14pm
Claudio Ranieri admits he cannot understand why Tiago has not performed for Juventus, whilst confirming he is still hoping to sign Mohamed Sissoko.
Tiago looks set to leave Turin and Tottenham are keen to secure his signature if they can strike a deal with Juve.
And Ranieri admits he is mystified by Tiago's failure to make an impact following his £10million switch from Lyon last summer.
"Certainly we have made mistakes but in general our purchases from the summer have been positive," Ranieri explained to Radio Anch'io.
"Although it is undeniable that some of the players have paid a price for the burden on someone who puts on the Bianconeri shirt.
"And my biggest concern has been Tiago, a player I have followed since he played in Portugal.
"He has all the characteristics to be a great player and I cannot understand why he is unable to make the breakthrough here."
Tiago has started just four games in Serie A for Juve this term and his chances of a place in the first team will be made even more difficult with Sissoko's likely arrival.
Juventus had been leading the chase for the Liverpool star - but their interest appeared to cool when their president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli said his club would not make any signings in January.
However, Ranieri has confirmed that he wants Sissoko as soon as possible.
"Sissoko could arrive," said the former Chelsea boss
"He is a good player that could fit into the pattern of our team."

The investigators plan to enroll 500 consecutive Subjects at a major trauma center for this study. For each patient, the body mass index (BMI), age, sex, diastolic pressure and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at time of measurements. Additional information including diseases such as diabetes and vascular disorders will be recorded. Social demographics including alcohol and tobacco use will be recorded. This is important as alcohol and tobacco use could also contribute to cardiovascular diseases. The skin pigmentation of each subject will be recorded. Two different methods will be used for this measurement. Each patient will be graded on a six point scale as described by Young (Young, 1997). Additionally, each subject will have their skin measured using a reflectance colorimeter. The colorimeter, DermaSpectrometer II (cyberDerm, Broomall, PA) uses visible light to measure the amount of light reflected off the skin. By measuring the light reflectance, the skin pigmentation can be measure (Clarys, 2000). Muscle oxygenation will be measured using a continuous dual wavelength near infrared spectrometer. Using the different absorption characteristics of deoxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin, the concentration of oxyhemoglobin in the muscle at an approximate depth of 2.5 cm is determined. The INVOS cerebral oximeter (Somanetics, Troy, MI) will be used for all measurements.

Denver Nuggets vs. San Antonio Spurs - 1/20/15 NBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction
San Antonio Spurs (26-16) at Denver Nuggets (18-22)
NBA Basketball: Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at 9:00 pm (Pepsi Center)
The Line: Denver Nuggets +7 -- Over/Under: 205 See the Latest Odds
The Denver Nuggets play host to the San Antonio Spurs at the Pepsi Center tonight.
The Denver Nuggets are in a serious slump, losing their last three and coming off a 122-79 demolition at Golden State last Monday. Ty Lawson had 19 points while Jameer Nelson added 14 off the bench, but the final score was all you really needed to know about this game. Right from the tipoff, the Warriors were all over the Nuggets and that final buzzer just couldn't come soon enough in this game. Before this current three-game losing streak, the Nuggets did win five straight including a win over the Grizzlies and one over the Mavericks, so I'm not so sure what happened over the last week.
USA TODAY Sports
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have won five of their last six games and will be going for a fourth straight win after cruising past the Jazz by 89-69 on Sunday. Defense was the name of the game in this one and it was the Spurs who shot just 38.8 percent from the field but were able to dominate the game by holding the Jazz to 33.3 percent shooting and just 27 points in the first half. We haven't seen a great defensive game from the Spurs in a long time, but they did a great job of limiting Gordon Hayward's impact on the game it just rippled throughout the entire Jazz team. Tim Duncan had just 11 points while Tony Parker added just four, but that was because neither player was needed with the game practically won by halftime.
In ATS trends, the Spurs are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a win of more than 10 points, while the Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a loss.
Head to head, the Spurs are 22-8 ATS in the last 30 meetings in Denver and the road team is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings overall.
No matter what form the Nuggets are in, they are never an easy team to beat at the Pepsi Center, but I would be very surprised if the Spurs don't win this one by double digits in the form that they're in.

Three Long Island designers share tips for various spaces they have illuminated.
"You need to consider the intensity of light, the balance of light, what is being illuminated, and why are you illuminating it," advises Keith Baltimore of the Baltimore Design Center in Port Washington, who designed this ceiling lighting in a Port Washington kitchen. (Oct. 17, 2013)

Anne Lombardi, of Anne Lombardi Interiors in Locust Valley, used Lucite lanterns in a Water Mill home to light up the cathedral ceiling In an almost 20-by-30-foot space with dramatic architectural details.

In this large, 25-by-30-foot kitchen, designed by Anne Lombardi for a Water Mill home, a mix of utility and decorative lighting allows for both bright work spaces and warm entertaining options.

501 Santa Monica Blvd
501 Santa Monica Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Map It!
501 Santa Monica Boulevard is a commercial property owned and operated by Kilroy Realty and located near the Santa Monica Pier. The building offers retail space on the ground floor with an additional six floors of office space above. Acquired in 1998 by Kilroy, the building has undergone several extensive renovations to make it more energy efficient.
In 2012 Southern California Edison evaluated the property's energy systems. After compiling an extensive report and recommendations, several upgrades were installed. All lights in the building were changed to 25-watt T8 lamps and bilevel lighting was installed in the stairwells. To maintain better temperatures throughout the day, the economizer lockout pressure was raised and the boiler lockout pressure was lowered. The morning warm-up system was changed to 74 degrees Farenheit.
One of the major improvements to the air quality was the acquisition of a Turbocor unit, which uses magnets to improve system efficiency. It also does not need as much maintenance because there is no need for oil or other chemicals to keep the moving parts lubricated. A variable frequency drive (VFD) was installed to maximize chiller efficiency while minimizing energy use.
The building management system has been upgraded to an Automated Logic Control (ALC) system. The ALC system monitors electrical usage, performs data trending, has hierarchal scheduling, shows thermographic color floor plans, trends data, schedules alarms, and gives detailed reports of the systems providing engineers with streamlined, real-time information. In addition, it can be used on any computer or smartphone, allowing for total control of the energy systems from anywhere at any time.
Kilroy Realty's sustainability vision is a portfolio that minimizes the environmental impact of the construction and operation of buildings while maximizing tenant comfort and financial savings.

The Governor Of Imo State Have RECENTLY CANCELLED The Scholarship scheme for non-indegine of the state.
Okorocha, who announced the cancellation during an interactive session with journalists in Owerri, said the policy for Imo indigenes would still continue from primary to tertiary levels.
"The removal of the non-Imo children studying in tertiary institutions in Imo from the free education policy was due to the refusal of governors of other states to equally extend same gesture to Imo indigenes in their states,'' he said.
According to him studying at primary and secondary levels would continue to enjoy the free education programme.
The governor, who commended the commitment of the teachers to the success in the education sector, said that the state was experiencing an increase in school enrolment.
"Before we introduced the free education policy in 2011, school enrolment for primary and secondary stood at 300,000 but today, the enrolment has gone up to more than 800,000 with successes in external examinations,'' he said.
