All's well that ends well
Filed: Friday, 25th January 2008
By: Matthew O'Greel
West Ham have scored a third of their goals this season in the final five minutes of each half.
Of United's 28 goals scored thus far this season, nine of those have come between the 40 and 45th minute (four) and 85th to 90th minute (nine).
However the Hammers are yet to score in the opening five minutes of any game this term.
Defensively the Irons are at their best midway through the first half as they have not conceded a single goal between the 25th and 35th minute of a game; nor have they conceded in the opening five minutes of the second half.
But of the 21 goals conceded in total this season, eight have been scored in the opening 20 minutes - and seven in the final 15 minutes of a match.
Two years ago Alan Pardew's West Ham side were known as the comeback kings - however Alan Curbishley's Hammers have gone on to lose six of the seven games in which they have been behind at half time.
On the flip side Curbs' team haven't lost a single game this term in which they have scored the opening goal - although they have gone on to draw four of those.
Top scorer so far this season is Dean Ashton with six, closely followed by Carlton Cole who has five. The 'own goals' tally sits alongside Craig Bellamy and Lee Bowyer in third place with four goals a piece.

hi mary...you can always move to livermore and join cholo and his gang...

I think Safeway's 'Lifestyle' markets don't do anything for them unless they have pleasant workers working. All of the Safeways in the area do not have pleasant people working so I choose to go elsewhere-- 'lifestyle' environment or not.
on Jun 23, 2008 at 12:10 pm
The workers attitude reflects how they are treated by safeway. when your treated like garbage, you dont really have a reaon to be pleasant
on Jun 24, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Then you shouldn't work there, groceryboy. Any Safeway I've been in, ALL of the workers ALL complain. I think it's the culture there and unforunately-- it's allowed.
on Jun 26, 2008 at 1:47 pm
annoymous, you have no idea what you are talking about. You never worked a day for safeway so you have no right to complain or ASSume you know what you are talking about, try working rotating shifts never having two days off in a row never know when your working untill its posted 3 days before you have to work. SAFEWAY treats us like GARBABGE because they want us to quit so they can hire a bunch of no habla ENGLISH. So enjoy shopping safeway! the happiest place on earth NOT

Just a few weeks after being shot in his own front yard, a Lincoln man continues to make strides toward recovery. Now, funds are being raised to help make it all that much easier.
You may remember when Isaac Durr was shot five times by his neighbor. On July 10th, what started as an altercation over a barking dog ended with Isaac in critical condition and the shooter committing suicide.
Weeks later, Isaac's in rehab and getting better. His wife, Holly says he can even go home on Wednesday. But the medical bills are starting to roll in. Holly says she is staying positive about the road ahead.
Holly Durr says, "As you can see, so many friends and family that have come together to take care of us and help us and it's just amazing and overwhelming. It only gets easier from here-so just kinda rolling with the punches."
Saturday, a poker benefit was held to help raise money for the family. There was a silent auction including a signed picture of Ndamukong Suh. Friends who helped put the event together say they're willing to do whatever they can to make it all easier.
Family Friend Christa Callender says, "Anything that we can do to help as of right now."
Through these tough times, Holly says she can never repay the people who are showing they car. Durr says, "Expressing the amount of gratitude I have, there's honestly I mean there's nothing-I can say thank you until I'm blue in the face and it's not enough."
Another benefit poker run is scheduled for next weekend. It starts in Nebraska City.

Some Arch renovation projects won't be finished in time for 50th anniversary
It looks like some of the projects planned as part of the $380 million renovation of the Arch grounds won't be finished in time for the Arch's 50th anniversary. A construction timeline released Tuesday estimates that some of the work won't be done until six months later.
Project leaders tell the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the delays stem from the complexity of the renovations and the number of projects involved.
The good news is that most of the work is projected to be done by the October 28, 2015 anniversary, including the park over the interstate. But the northern trails to the riverfront won't be finished until December 2015, and the museum won't reopen until May, 2016.
Arch grounds renovation may face delayed
Almost before any work has begun, the renovation of the Gateway Arch grounds may have run into a four-month delay.
The $380 million plan was presented Wednesday to a National Park Service board that must approve the project. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the federal Development Advisory Board, refused to sign off on the plan because of what is essentially, a paperwork issue.
CityArchRiver 2015, the non-profit that's spearheading the renovation efforts refused to provide a series of agreements between it and the park service. CityArchRiver leaders say that's because the park hasn't signed a new deal with Metro to run the Arch trams, and thus guarantee that tram fees will be used to pay for much needed repairs to the tram systems.
Those contracts are reportedly in the pipeline and could be signed as soon as Thursday. But the Development Advisory Board doesn't meet again until March.
It's official: Fair St. Louis 2014 will be at Forest Park
Next summer's Fair St. Louis will be held at Forest Park. The Fair Saint Louis Foundation and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay made the official announcement Wednesday evening at the Art Museum.
The 34th annual festival will be centered on Art Hill on July 3, 4 and 5. The 137th Veiled Prophet Parade will march through Forest Park instead of downtown St. Louis.
That's because the $380 million renovation of the Arch grounds won't be finished in time. It could be done in time for the 2015 fair, but that decision won't be made until late next year.
The 2014 event will include the traditional air show, concerts, fireworks and a Kids Zone, with the main stage at the foot of Art Hill near the Grand Basin. And Fair officials are promising several new elements that will be unveiled early next year.
Gateway Arch on list of Most Endangered Monuments
The Gateway Arch has landed on a list of Most Endangered Monuments.
The Arch is one of five American monuments on the list complied by the World Monuments Fund, an organization dedicated to saving historic landmarks. According to a spokesman for the group, the Arch is at risk because of corrosion, current economic trends, and decreased government funding for national monuments.
The World Monuments Fund was established in 1965. 85 percent of money donated to the fund goes directly to preservation projects.
Fair St. Louis moving off Arch Grounds for 2014
For the first time ever, Fair St. Louis won't be held on the Arch grounds next year. Work on a $380 million plan to improve the downtown area around the Gateway Arch will get in the way.
Mayor Slay's office confirms the fair will have to move, but won't say where. But the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that it will likely be held in Forest Park.
The paper quotes St. Louis parks director Gary Bess as saying that he was told to plan for the event near the Grand Basin in Forest Park.
A formal venue announcement is expected in late October.
Wingsuit daredevil to fly before Cards game, won't fly between Arch legs
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A man who has gained YouTube fame for spectacular stunts will soar over downtown St. Louis Friday evening in full view of 40,000-plus Cardinals fans, but he promises to stay away from the city's most inviting stunt site - the Gateway Arch.
Plans call for Alexander Polli to jump from a plane flying at 4,000 feet near Busch Stadium, about an hour before the Cardinals host the Atlanta Braves. He'll be wearing a wingsuit - an aerodynamic jumpsuit that allows the wearer to soar for long distances before opening a parachute to land.
Spokeswoman Meghan Spork says Polli will do stunts while flying over downtown for about three minutes. She says he won't fly between the legs of the Arch or land on the Arch grounds.
New Arch grounds renderings released by CityArchRiver
The organization spearheading the effort to revamp the grounds around the Gateway Arch say the project is progressing well.
In it's third "report to the community," presented Tuesday night, CityArchRiver detailed MoDOT's construction time line for the planned "lid" over the I-70 depressed section. The agency says construction will begin this summer.
The finished "park over the highway" will connect the Arch grounds to downtown St. Louis. Presenters also thanked the audience for passing Proposition P, a sales tax that will be used to help finance the project.
CityArchRiver also released new renderings for the plan to revamp the museum under the Arch. You can see those images on their website.
Phase 2 of Arch grounds re-do finds funding
Crews had already planned to begin construction of the "lid" over I-70.
Now, the rebuild of Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard, which runs along the riverfront at the base of the Arch steps, will also start this year. The road will be elevated and redesigned to include bike paths and pedestrian walkways.
Funding had already been in place for the $47 million park that will cap the highway. Newly found savings from that project will help fund the other.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that engineers have determined that the concrete walls of the "depressed section" of I-70 don't need to be replaced, as originally thought. So the $11-million cost savings on that project will fund the Leonor K. Sullivan rebuild.

and sell them for scrap metal.
Jason Smith, 37, entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to commit theft charges Thursday in Northampton County Court.
The Morning Calls notes that Judge F.P. Kimberly McFadden called Smith's scheme "as dumb as it gets" when accepting his plea, which could have him in prison for up to two years.
Co-defendant Christopher Warnicke, 38, of New Jersey is still facing charges of theft, conspiracy, running a corrupt organization and receiving stolen property. He is due in court next month for his formal arraignment.
According to court records, the two men were involved in the theft of 31 trailers, valued at $1.2 million, between April and July.
Warnicke is the president of Fatzin Recycling, outside of Bangor. Smith worked for a company W. W. Transport. Police say Smith would take trucks to Warnicke's company for cash. Warnicke would then take them to another recycling business.
Police say the investigation began in June when a truck was reported stolen at Conagra. The truck was owned by W.W. Transport, which is based in Iowa.
Police spoke to W.W.'s owner Jeff Walters, who said he'd gotten a anonymous tip that one of his workers named "Jay" was stealing trailers and selling them for scrap. Smith was the only "Jay" on the company payroll, police said.
Walters did an inventory and found at least 21 missing trailers.
Ultimately, Smith stole 31 trailers, police said -- 29 from W.W. and two from InterCoastal Trucking in Upper Mount Bethel.
A Wilson man has admitted to taking part in a scheme to steal more than $1 million worth of tractor trailers .

The versatile Thom Bresh played no less than nine instruments, including the tuba and the steel guitar; he also sang, acted, and did impressions of celebrities. Although involved in country music since the early '70s, with many hits, Bresh never made it to the loftiest heights of superstardom. The son of country hero Merle Travis, Bresh was born in Hollywood, where he debuted at the age three singing "Your Cheatin' Heart" at the Carriganville Movie Ranch. He made his feature film debut at age seven and was already learning to play guitar. At age 15, he replaced Roy Clark in Hank Penny's band and eventually replaced Hank when he retired. Bresh then became an actor/stuntman for about ten years, also playing with the Crescents in the mid-'60s.

The interim report of the Royal Society of Edinburgh's inquiry into spreading the benefit of digital participation in Scotland – published on 4 December 2013 – calls on the Scottish Government to recognise that every individual has an undeniable right to digital inclusion and for steps to be taken to motivate individuals and businesses to engage in the online world. Digital technologies, the report notes, can offer opportunities for people to explore interests and share and access knowledge, and to achieve this
…we must ensure that all public, private and third-sector organisations in Scotland have unfettered access to the infrastructure, tools and skills they need to make effective use of digital technologies.
The word 'unfettered' is important. Our experience at IRISS is that while people who work within organisations can be motivated to try out new ways of sharing information, for example by using Dropbox, employers offers little encouragement to use this form of communication. Some block access to Eventbrite (on the ground that is is a 'shopping site'). Others have stopped their staff from using Doodle which takes the pain out of scheduling meetings. Unfettered access must mean allowing to staff to engage with any web-based service as and when required, bearing in mind that it is often the client who chooses the tool. To refuse to use, say Doodle, is simply to transfer costs onto the client.
The report goes on to say that enterprise agencies should develop simple checklists of free online services and tools -such as business listings, appointments diaries, blogs and calendars – and use these to help businesses to engage with the online world. The problem is that staff in enterprise agencies are themselves often blocked from using these tools (Google Docs, Flickr etc) and are therefore hardly in a position to offer advice.
Organisations need to develop a culture that supports and encourages their staff to engage in web-based communication, By engaging they will acquire the digital literacy skills necessary to be digitally included.
Along with former DCC Gordon Scobbie and Ian Watt, representing SOCITM, I'll making a presentation to the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group on Digital Participation on this topic on 10 December 2013. We'll be suggesting that to tackle digital exclusion and promote digital participation, it is absurd on the one hand to wonder why people don't engage while, on the other, actively block them from doing exactly that.

Some differences include three changes in board members ( board president, executive director, and secretary) and a new position called Director of Development. The new position is held by Arleigh Jenkins, the southeast representative for bicycle parts supplier Quality Bicycle Products, whose job will be to help market CABA in the Charlotte community. This is a huge benefit for CABA and Charlotte cycling because she is also well-known in the Charlotte cycling community for her website, Bike Shop Girl, where she writes about cycling for women, the cycling industry, and being involved in the local cycling culture. Some may describe CABA as not having an identified voice which Jenkins will definitely help create for the organization.
The immediate changes you will see on CABA's website are more sources of information for Charlotte cyclists. These changes are particularly important for new cyclists who may feel unsafe, lost, or alone when first venturing out ride in Charlotte. Now listed are Charlotte area bike shops, events such as weekly rides, and links for cycling laws and local cycling organizations. These changes are meeting the needs of safety, education, and community that are a benefit to all area cyclists.
