Small Clubs Can Do Well Out Of Food Chain
I think that Matthew Stanger's article on how Benteke's transfer request is a bad thing for Villa and football in general is a bit one-sided. If we look at some of the players how have moved from 'smaller' clubs to bigger clubs in recent years, the selling club has more often than not done better out of the whole affair, and it has allowed them to move up the footballing food chain despite losing their prize asset.
Andy Carroll - left Newcastle for a ridiculous £35million, the club were able to re-invest that money in the squad that summer and finish fifth in the league and qualify for the Europa League, obviously last season didn't go quite as well but there were other factors at play there. The fact £35million was spunked on him was because Chelsea were foolish enough to spend £50million on Torres, it shouldn't be forgotten that Suarez was signed in that same transfer window, and if Liverpool hadn't have wasted that money on the mediocrity of Carroll, Henderson and Downing they would be in a considerably better position than they are now.
Swansea sold Joe Allen to Liverpool and were able to re-invest that money improving their squad and win the Carling Cup, improving on the previous season. Spurs sold Modric to Madrid last year and had their highest ever points total this season following some strong signings by AVB, Everton were also improved by Moyes after selling Lescott to City. Arsenal have to deal ever season with having their best players bought from them and are now one of the richest clubs in the world, while maintaining the same level of performance, which must be admired.
If anything football needs the big clubs to buy players like Benteke and Torres as it is the only way that smaller clubs are able to progress up to the next level, if they can spend their cash wisely.

Cheer Up, Stanger
Matt - have a holiday, watch the cricket, enjoy life. It's not that bad - I think the Benteke sale will work out well for Villa. He looks to me like a one-season wonder in the mould of Papiss Cisse or Michael Ricketts, and not nearly good enough to seriously contribute to a Champions League club. I'd be astonished if he signed for Chelsea - he wouldn't even be the best Belgian striker at the club and feasibly be fourth-choice striker. More likely he'll move to another mid-table club either in England or abroad - perhaps to Liverpool, or Napoli, or as a replacement for Lewandowski at Borussia Dortmund.
On another point - competition isn't dead, and it also hasn't really changed:
Between 1972 and 1981, 5 different teams won the league (Liverpool won 6, one each for Forest, Leeds, Derby and Villa)
Between 1982 and 1991, 4 different teams won the league (Liverpool won 5, Arsenal 2, Everton 2, Leeds 1)
Between 1992 and 2001, 3 different teams won the league (Man Utd won 7, Arsenal 2, sugar-daddy'd Blackburn 1)
Between 2002 and 2013 (admittedly 2 extra years), 4 different teams have won the league (Man Utd won 6, Chelsea 3, Arsenal 1, Man City 1)
The names change, the level of competition stays about the same - if anything gets greater, as I think it's unlikely that the next ten years will see the same single-club hegemony of each of the last four decades. I confidently predict that at least one team other than Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City will win the league in the next ten years (it's not at all hard to see Spurs or Arsenal winning the league). Dry your eyes.

Understanding Benteke But...
You're probably getting bored of Benteke by now, but to be honest ever since the agent dropped the misquote bomb in May, you should have seen this coming.
But just to give my point of view: yes, loyalty is dead, and yes, we didn't give a monkey's about him being loyal to Genk when we signed him. And considering he kept us up pretty much single-handed last year, the amount of TV money he's earned us already should mean we give him the £25m we get in a transfer fee really.
But come on, we're football supporters for f***'s sake; my desire for Benteke to stay at Villa is not based on the fact it's the best thing for him, nor that he owes us anything. It's because I support Aston Villa, he's really f***ing good at football, and we're worse off without him.
If my fiancée gets a shout from Ryan Reynolds and gives me the elbow, the fact it's an understandable decision isn't going to make me feel any better about it.
Neil Raines
Two Birds, One Stone
This is my first foray into writing in to this hallowed forum, however I'd like to pick up on a few points raised recently.
Firstly, in response to Ronnie Buzzard, Manchester who discusses the point of brand loyalty in their mail regarding Benteke and their Zanussi washing machine. Benteke was never a Villa fan to begin with. He was being the pragmatic consumer in moving to them in the first place.
Now he has the opportunity to move to a 'better product' by handing in his transfer request. He will be moving to a team who pay better wages as well as attain a greater media presence in a world cup year.
Secondly, Gareth Barry. It has been suggested by a few Arsenal fans that they would not be pleased by the capture of Barry, I'd just like to say that as a City fan I will be very sad to see him leave.
A few mailboxes ago, match of the day highlights players were talked about. This is where you will never see Barry. He's in the right place at the right time and kept Manchester City ticking. David Silva even named Barry as the best player at Manchester City. Not Tourè or Aguero...Barry.
For the prices quoted in the media he will be an absolute steal. Yeah, he isn't exactly Usain Bolt, but as Hamann once said and I'm paraphrasing now "you don't need to be fast if you are in the right place to begin with".

What Would Euro League Do To Premier League?
Once the European super league starts, what happens to the Premier league? There will obviously be a number of 'sleeping giants' who do not get voted in/don't meet the massive stack of cash requirements, how will they react? I expect this league to be very much a closed shop, no promotion or relegation as members will probably have had to leave their own FA. There will be swathes of fans whose club is in a devalued, practically meaningless competition, any victories will be hollow as the biggest clubs will have left.
I would imagine that there have already been a large number of high-level talks between club owners to flesh out how the league will run, as well as a large wodge of cash handed over to the lawyers to prepare the groundwork of exiting the current leagues and football associations.
As Matt Stanger so correctly notes, the rich are only interested in getting richer and the mind bogglingly large TV deal is just not enough for them, it has to be shared, the outrage of it all. There will be individual TV deals for each club and the fans will once again suffer. The number of away fans will be minimal, the matchday atmosphere will suffer and TV will become the only way to see your team.
Clubs chasing the non-domestic market will not care, lucrative pre-season tours will continue and any local connection will be eroded to the point of non-existence, this really could spell the death knell for clubs up and down the league ladder.
Of course, it might not happen, but the money stench will win,
Money Gravitates Towards Money
I'm on a train so apologies for the length, but I thought I'd pass the time with my thoughts on Niall, Washington DC's observation that (with the apparent exception of Manchester - I'll have you know it's a wonderful place) there seems to be a pattern to the nouveau-riche clubs being located in places where footballers might want to live (London, Monaco, Malaga, Paris). With respect, location plays it part, but I think that over-simplifies the issue. Players simply go where the money is.
For example, it wasn't London that Abramovich went for. It was the Premier League. He told advisers he wanted to buy a team, and their feasibility report recommended it. Manchester United was on the list but thought of as too expensive, so it came down to Villa, Spurs and Chelsea. Villa were discounted because they were in Birmingham, but given there was no cap on expenditure or wages, it wouldn't have been an inability to attract players to the Midlands that meant Roman looked further south. It was the brand.
Manchester City were bought by the Abu Dhabi Investment Company primarily to raise their own business profile, not because of an interest in football. Despite the company's wealth they are best known for owning Manchester City, which is the reason for the amount of regeneration and community work they have done in East Manchester: it's all about perception of them as owners of a succesful club run the 'right way'. And the reason they picked City was no doubt massively influenced by the fact the club had 'Manchester' in its name and was therefore an easily recognisable product. Trust me, we're well aware of the irony that City's new-found wealth is as much to do with us having made Manchester an internationally recognised football city as anything else.
The other club takeovers are predominantly down to the fact there is potentially huge money and benefit from owning a football club, but you have to be competing in Europe. England is seen as too congested and expensive a race, whereas the French and Spanish leagues grant relatively easier passage. In France, Paris St Germain were bought because they were cheap (years of relative failure) and not only was it based in Paris but there was history to the club. The biggest reason for Monaco's takeover was not just the location, but in the face of Financial Fair Play coming in the tax structure in that province allows players to keep their wages tax free, whereas France players pay 75% top rate.
So of the clubs you mention, Malaga is probably the closest to your theory of 'destination clubs'. Spain has four CL places but only two (Real Madrid and Barca) benefit from any real TV money as they negotiate their deals separately. Therefore, the rest of the league has a relatively even race to 3rd/4th, and Malaga as a club on the south coast is an attractive proposition to players. But I have no doubt the owners' lack of recent ambition is down to Malaga not being a big enough brand to export internationally like the clubs above.
As for whether we'll still be talking about Manchester United and City as forces in world football. Financial Fair Play is about to link expenditure to turnover. This will cement both clubs as spending forces, whilst at the same time stop anyone from 'doing a Chelsea' ever again. So yes, money goes to money, and players go to money. Why else would Brazilians be playing in Russia.

Suarez: The Solution
If Luis Suarez is to be believed, the reason that he wants to leave Liverpool is because he has received some less than positive coverage from the English media. He even accepts (now, eventually) that he might have given them cause to have a go at him.
It's clear that Suarez is never really going to change. He has an edge (to put it mildly) and even if he can temper his behaviour, he will always have an edge.
So, is there a solution? Is there a way that Suarez can get the press off his back while still doing what he does?
Well, if F365 is any sort of yardstick for the English media, then of course there is. What's the one thing that he can do to become a media darling and blind the press to his antics.
It's simple. Luis Suarez must grow a beard.
Neal Boland, LFC, Dublin (of course I know that he really wants Champions League football but I don't think that Liverpool have a solution for that just yet)
Why Liverpool Should Take £25m For Dog Suarez
Why are some Liverpool fans saying that Liverpool should hold out for £40m? They'll be lucky to get £25m for him in my opinion or they'll end up losing him on a free at the end of his contract.
Imagine I need a pedigree dog to take to Crufts and I go to the pedigree dog shop in Pedigree Dog Road something, something... I walk in and the little bell above the door rings and a wizened Elf like man appear behind the counter as if by magic. "Can one help you sir?" he asks. "Yes," I reply, "I'm looking for a pedigee dog but I don't want to pay more than £3,000 for it."
Well sir, I have this magnificent tooth hound available right here for £4,000". "Hmm...He's a bit ugly but I suppose I might possibly stretch to £4,000. Does he have any particular traits that I should know about?". "Well, he barks at brown dogs for some reason, bites white dogs and has been banned from some high profile dog shows but when he's allowed back I'm sure you'll find that he obeys commands well and will ace the obstacle course although he might not ignore the treat, as he tends to eat them all himself."
"Are you trying to sell me this dog or not? I'll give you £1,000 for him and you can count yourself lucky." "No sir, the rest of my shop needs repairing and I need the money so I believe I'll keep him as I'm bound to be offered the £4,000 I require". "Ok, bye then".
Ten years later I'm passing the shop and decide to pop in. "Hi, do you remember that dog you tried to sell me. Did he win any more dog shows?". "No sir, I had to have him put down as he had in-growing teeth and started to eat himself".

Blame It On The Weatherman
Sarah Winterburn's article on FFP and Big Money Signings is a good one but iIthink she misses another important aspect of why England can miss out on big talent - the culture/weather!
It may seem like not so much of an issue to us pasty white folk who are used to 11 months of rain, cold and miserableness but if you are Brazillian and have the opportunity to play for a big club in England or a big club in Spain/Italy/south of France which one would you choose?!
The weather, the food, the women (they are hotter, you have no argument against this so dont even try) still at a big club and probably getting paid just as much with as much chance of winning trophies as our lot do and possibly speak the same language or close to it, its a no brainer.
England sucks, be happy with what you have!

Ashley Young: Grey, Mediocre Blur
Not to be pedantic, but Marco Reus generally plays on the left, Mata plays as a wide attacker for Spain (and drifts across the attacking three for Chelsea behind Torres) and Jesus Navas, whilst as mono-dimensional as Valencia, is much better as a right winger than Young. Tosic never got any game time (perhaps not unfairly, given he had Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani, Berbatov and Rooney ahead of him), but has subsequently become a bloody good player at CSKA, and Ljajic is already far better than Young, whilst costing less (and having a far, far less punchable face).
So they're all very valid comparisons, and Young is indeed ten kinds of awful compared to all of them. Just because he occasionally gets his patented 'step in, curl burl towards far corner' move right, and it really is very occasionally, doesn't make him any better. Nicklas Bendter occassionally looks like a decent striker, it doesn't mean he actually is. Young wastes a colossal amount of possession and opportunities by slowing down play to cut in, whereas Kagawa recycles possession well in the final third, and Nani, able to beat defenders on either side, draws at least two defenders to him, and if nothing else, creates space for others.
Ashley Young is just a grey, mediocre blur. An attacking midfielder bereft of flair or intelligence, with sod all technique, and whose primary virtue is being predictable in his mediocrity.
Does anybody dispute that better, more adaptable, and younger, attacking midfielders could have been bought for a similar sort of money? So why defend him?
Chris MUFC
Just Don't Play Him On The Left
I don't hate Young, I just hate how he plays when he plays on the left. It's not his fault, he's not a left winger...if you can't cross the ball with the appropriate peg for the side of the pitch you're on, and so always just cut in onto your stronger foot, you're not really a winger.
No, if you remember back to the Euros, Young was playing in the centre behind the forwards - filling the hole that Rooney would normally play in. And he played well enough that we didn't miss Rooney. Because he actually played like Rooney of old: tricky, running at defenders, shooting and passing, nice link-up play.
I don't really know why Sir Alex and other managers have put him there - presumably, you have to try and fit your best players into a formation even if they're out of position (see: Rooney and Tevez when playing with Ronaldo; Scholes/Gerrard on the left when playing with Lampard). But I would love him to have his chance playing in the right role, as he's pretty rubbish anywhere else.
That said, if we had Baines busting up the left wing, then I wouldn't mind Young cutting in because at least crosses would still come in! Actually, maybe I'd go a step further, and move Baines to left wing outright, with one of our other million left-backs behind him. Which of course does for Young. But then what's the point in having a square peg in a round hole? Maybe we can exchange him for Coentrao?
Guy S (Baines + Coentrao would be quite fun)
Ease Off The Boy Young
I was glad to see a couple of mails defending Ashley Young in the mailbox this morning. While I agree he can be frustrating, he is also a very hard-working player who is probably burdened by the weight of expectation following a large transfer fee. I firmly believe he has a lot to offer the team and is worth his place in the squad.
The amount of work he does, which often goes unseen by the cameras, is incredible. He always offers support to the left-back and tracks back whenever we don't have the ball. He is a decent dribbler and he certainly has an eye for goal.
However, he does have a tendency to be too negative in attack; he doesn't take on defenders enough and often looks to pass back into the middle when a drive towards the byline is possible. But for me this is just a mindset problem, which can easily be coached out of him.
I think a little genuine competition (not Nani/Zaha/Kagawa - square pegs for a round hole) for Young would see his performances improve but, if not, you'd always have the other option. Left-wing has been an issue since Giggs moved to the middle so it would be nice to see us sign a left-footed wide player as well as a central midfielder; only once that's sorted should we look at extra defenders/strikers.
But at the moment, because of injuries and inconsistency, it seems that Young's role is team scapegoat. Ease off, people.
Ted, Manchester
Young A Typical United Buy
In response to Andrew, Banbury 'Whilst signing Ozil would have been fabulous...'
What often seems to be overlooked is that Utd very rarely gamble on overseas talent, preferring to use the 1990's Juventus model of taking the best players from rivals and aspiring rivals.
Carrick, Berbatov, Tevez, Young, Ferdinand, RVP, Rooney, Valencia...it works, and the players are already used to the division when they join.
Kagawa a rare exception to this, and he wasn't exactly a fixture in the side.

Don't Panic, Arsenal Fans!
Dear worried Arsenal fans, I have some news for you. I have just checked the calendar and it the sodding 10th of July! Start worrying in about 4-5 weeks, meanwhile enjoy the sunshine, enjoy The Ashes, and relax!
Seriously, though, in the modern age of 24 x 7 rolling news and information overload, people want instant results and constant changes and updates in status. Sadly for them, in the real world sometimes days/weeks pass without movement simply because a key person is on holiday or somebody, quite rightly, is waiting for all of the facts and information before making a decision. Buying a new player is not as simple as going to Tesco's for some milk. These things take time, so relax and trust the professionals to do their job.
Or, take a Valium.
Philip Lewis, Relaxed Gooner
...Jeez Gunners, calm down a bit, will you? One would think people might be a tad grateful to the man who has won the club several trophies and earned the respect of just about everyone in football. Even without silverware recently, he has maintained Arsenal's stature as a top tier club by seamlessly moving them to a beautiful stadium that holds 20,000 more people. Despite having not won anything in the last 8 years, players always state their dream of working with the reigning UEFA Manager of the Decade 2001-2010.
On another note, did JR, Saigon just say Per Mertesacker is Germany's captain?? That made me laugh quite a bit. This guy called Philip Lahm would be offended by that.
Greg Tric, Nairobi
Are Arsenal Players Worth Poaching?
Joshua, South Africa...did you ever think that the reason none of the Arsenal players are being poached is because none of them are really that good relatively speaking?!
Is Cazorla hands down the best attacking midfielder in the league? Is Wilshere the best centre midfielder? Perhaps he will prove so in the near future but his injury record has so far hindered his claim to that title for me.
It may in fact be a reflection of how far Arsenal are falling that your players are no longer coveted by superior teams. I know it has made not a jot of difference in terms of points and goals but Spurs seem to be strengthening and I wonder if Arsenal's time in the top four is finally coming to an end next season. But then this argument has been made for two or three seasons now too so perhaps I'm just filling my toilet break with wild thoughts.
Minty, LFC
Earn Your Acronym!
So, Lee (can't wait for August 17!), Fuerteventura, is already referring to Marco Van Ginkel as 'vG' ?? Now I'm as excited as the next CFC fan about the coming season, but surely the first rule of the Mailbox is that a player must earn such an honour as to have an acronym rather than using their name?
Sort your sh*t out Lee!
Tony (www.justgiving.com/tony-muir, 325 mile run - sponsor me please!!)
You And Us Both
Forget about FIFA corruption, exorbitant ticket prices, the rise in player power and the money-obsessed juggernaut that is the Premier League - personally, the accidental mis-spelling of Santi CAZORLA to 'Carzola' name, might be my biggest bug-bear in football today.
Given how he's such a talented, gifted ball technician, hearing his name spelt incorrectly is like listening to the crescendo of a wondrous soundscape interrupted by a chorus of blaring Vuvuzelas. It's continued misuse also gives Jamie Redknapp licence to keep saying the name wrong in the studio in his dulcet tones, and it makes me think that Gianfranco Zola's started up a new line of work in the auto-mobile industry (which I would love to see).
Please. For all that is sacred, the name is CAZORLA. Thanks very much.
Foxy, Lodnon

If anyone chooses this hotel be aware that: You have to pay for TV, air conditioning, breakfast, and everything else. Accomodations are very basic. Even if you decide to have breakfast or use the pool you'll have to use the facilities in the other hotels as they don't have these in this hotel. My friend had to wait for me for 2 hours, because they lost our key and told him I had it. When I returned the receptionist argued with me and told me I had to leave the key there, when I didn't have it. When she found it she just said sorry. She wanted my friend to get the master key and go to the bedroom alone and he refused it as he would be responsible of course, for antyhing that happened in any room. She didn't leave the reception to go with him, so he had to wait for me outside. It is a very bad hotel and management. It isn't worth spending your money there. The only good thing is that it is close to the beach, but for the price you can stay in any other hotel and have a good experience.

Foo Camp
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2008) |
Foo Camp is an annual hacker event hosted by publisher O'Reilly Media. O'Reilly describes it as "the wiki of conferences", where the program is developed by the attendees at the event, using big whiteboard schedule templates that can be rewritten or overwritten by attendees to optimize the schedule. The goal of the event is to reach out to new people who will increase the company's intelligence about new technologies, and to create opportunities for cross-pollination between people and technologies that are on the O'Reilly radar.
Some have described it as a meta-birds-of-a-feather session[citation needed] that gets smart people together to discuss technology issues. This style of event has also been described as an unconference.[citation needed]
The event started as a joke between Tim O'Reilly and Sara Winge, O'Reilly's VP of Corporate Communications. Sara had always wanted to run a foo bar, an open bar for Friends of O'Reilly, at one of O'Reilly's conferences. That joke morphed into a brainstorm after the dot com bust left O'Reilly with lots of unused office space in its new buildings, creating the opportunity for Foo Camp. There was eventually a Foo Bar[1] at the camp.
Tim O'Reilly describes the goal of his company as "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators." Foo Camp has evolved into an important mechanism for finding those innovators. O'Reilly asks attendees to nominate new and interesting people to be invited to future camps. The invite list is calculated to create cross-disciplinary "aha!" moments, new synapses in the global brain, with a focus on emerging technology.[citation needed]
Other events[edit]
In 2005, a complementary alternative BarCamp was created by a past attendee of Foo Camp and a few individuals who were interested in organizing their own version of Foo Camp, and hosted at the Socialtext offices in Palo Alto, California, by Socialtext founder Ross Mayfield, with an open invitation to anyone who wanted to join.
Since February 2007, former O'Reilly employee Nathan Torkington has hosted an annual Kiwi Foo Camp in Warkworth, New Zealand[2] [3]
O'Reilly has since held a series of topical Foo Camps at Google Headquarters, including Science Foo Camp, Collective Intelligence Foo Camp, Social Graph Foo Camp, and others. In December 2010, O'Reilly co-organized NewsFoo with Google and the Knight Foundation at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix Arizona.
In 2011 O'Reilly announced the Health Foo on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Blog.[4]

Written by Haley Bryant
Charlottesville is surrounded by the beautiful hills and mountains of the Blue Ridge, which alone have much to offer—from hiking and picnicking, to a simple stroll along Skyline Drive. There are plenty of lakes and ponds just outside of town where students like to lay out and cool off in the summer and spring. The real cultural center of Charlottesville is mainly in and around the Downtown Mall, where there are many art galleries, music clubs, bookstores, and theaters. There is a great artistic tradition in Charlottesville. Many writers, musicians, and artists reside and work in and around the town, which no doubt inspires them. Despite all there is to do and see in Charlottesville, many students neglect to recognize the town's rich culture and numerous opportunities. UVA students sometimes arrogantly forget that they are in the greater Charlottesville community and get too wrapped up in being a part of the University. As a result, there seems to be quite a bit of tension between students and locals. The University certainly makes up a large part of Charlottesville, and many students take this as an excuse not to explore the area.
The town remains vibrant and intellectual, but also laid-back. Charlottesville has a unique feel to it. It is the ultimate small city and complements UVA perfectly. It is simultaneously artsy and preppy, wild and laid back. It has the ability to keep you captivated and engaged for all four years, but if you ever get bored and want a little adventure, Washington D.C., is only a two-hour drive away.

image from Zo they say, original source unknown
Uni starts back in two weeks. I'll be away though, doing my tour of duty in Nam so I sent an email to my four lecturers, explaining my absence and asking if there was anything I needed to do to make up for it. I'm still to hear back from one lecturer, one lecturer replied in minutes, saying everything would be hunky dory. Another, the Associate Dean of the School of Education and Arts, replied and made me feel like a naughty school girl (in a bad way). This is his email (his bad grammar included):
Dear Annelise,
This is quite unfortunately and will set you at a slight disadvantage. One bit of advice I would give is to prepare for the fortnight you will miss in the time before you leave. This involves:
1) Getting a hold of the textbook and making a start on the readings.
2) Carefully reading the course description (attached) and familiarising yourself with the requirements of the course.
3) What time is your tutorial? I can put you in touch with the tutor who will give further advice about the two tutorials. One possibility is that you may miss some preparatory work for the first assessment task which will occur during the second week's classes.
University dates do vary from one year to another. 2013's calendar is now available online. I would suggest carefully planning your vacations around future calendars in future.
I would also suggest doing this for other courses you are enrolled in for semester one.
I might be feeling a bit touchy but is there not a disciplinary tone in this here email? Thank you, Associate Dean, I shall carefully plan my vacations around future calendars in future.
An hour or so later, the following email popped up in my inbox from the lecturer of Indigenous Societies in Contemporary Australia (once again, poor grammar lecturer's own):
Oh No, in the first two weeks I ALWAYS hand out fifty dollar notes, latte coffees with bush tucker chocolates neatly poised on the saucer...
i am very envious that you are going to Vietnam and I am in Ballarat but I will get over that. The best thing to do is to actually read the readings that will be outlined in the course description. They are all available on line. I will be posting the course description on moodle hopefully tomoz or Monday. Look out for it! great stuff, it will rock your socks...well ok it might be of some minor interest.
have a great time and see you when you are in th rat. [should read: back in the 'rat, as in short for Ballarat]
nb you will miss the group work meetings so you will have to ingratiate yourself in with a group in your tute. use your charm.
fred c
Now, tell me: which course you would rather?

TIM announced the results of the survey that analyzed the export performance of the last quarter of 2011 and projections for the first quarter of 2012. The growth expectation for 2012 is 7.28 %.
The surveys conducted by the Turkish Exporters Assembly for two years and citing projections by exporters from production to employment, currency exchange rates and exports shall be continued in this year. The results of the survey regarding the performances of the last quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 were disclosed at a press conference at TIM's Foreign Trade Complex on the 10th of February.
In his evaluation of the survey results, TIM President Mehmet Büyükeksi noticed that export companies had been more prudent in export and production than in the past. However, he was surprised himself by the growth projections of 7.28 % for the end of 2012:
"My personal expectation is 5 % but the companies that took part in the survey predicted 7.28 %. In last year's survey, we had almost hit the bull's eye with our forecast of 8.6 %. It seems that the growth of 2011 will be 8.3 %. We should not overlook the expectation of growth for this year." According to the survey, the average number of staff to be employed by a company in 2012 is 9, which adds up to approximately 180,000 new employees by the end of the year. Mr.Büyükeksi called for companies to be more active in hiring R&D employees. Reminding that in 2012 Eximbank will be offering exporters credit opportunities at more favorable conditions than the rest of the market in addition to insurance for export products, Mr.Büyükeksi thought "Our exporting companies ought to make use of these advantages."

NBA AM: Who Is Available In Trade – Part 1
Around The League In 30 Trades – Pt. 1: The NBA Trade Deadline is just 16 days away and with the All-Star break behind us more teams will start focusing their attentions on the trade market.
The March 1st clearing date is just two days away, meaning after Thursday all players who signed contracts this year are eligible to be traded.
Over the next few days we'll take a look at what's out there and likely on a team by team basis – so let's get the first ten teams out of the way:
Atlanta Hawks:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Kirk Hinrich, Marvin Williams, Tracy McGrady
The Hawks are still looking for size and if dealing Kirk Hinrich can return that, the team seems open to it. If someone would take Marvin Williams and his contract, they'd move him too. There were reports of unrest with Marvin regarding playing time and role, but with Joe Johnson on the shelf with a knee injury Hawks' sources say Marvin will see the floor more.
Tracy McGrady had a similar blow up in the media, the problem is the market for McGrady is almost non-existent and he's worth more to the Hawks than what he can return in trade because he is a low dollar player.
It looks like Tracy's minutes and role may shift to Jerry Stackhouse, so the Hawks may try and force something with McGrady just to get him off the roster if things go south when he doesn't play in the coming weeks.
Boston Celtics:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Jermaine O'Neal, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Bass
The Celtics find themselves at a crossroads. They are not nearly good enough to compete and they are not nearly bad enough where it's clear the team should be blown up for draft picks and younger players.
The Celtics have two ending contracts in Jermaine O'Neal and Brandon Bass (team option) – both represent reasonable money and both could return assets, especially for teams looking towards free agency.
There has been a lot of Rajon Rondo speculation, and while his name has been mentioned to several teams, sources close to the process say the only way Rondo is moved is if the returning player all but assures the Celtics are a home court team going into the playoffs and frankly there just are not those kind of players available going into the deadline.
Rondo is a prime candidate to be traded around the draft this year especially as the Celtics try and rebuild, but sources near the situation peg a Rondo trade in the low teens percentage wise and the general belief is unless someone really makes a great offer to Boston, Rondo will remain in a Celtic jersey.
Charlotte Bobcats:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Corey Maggette, Boris Diaw, Tyrus Thomas, DeSagana Diop, Matt Carroll
The Bobcats would love to shed their long-term contracts especially those belonging to Corey Maggette and Tyrus Thomas. Their best trade chips might be the ending contract of Boris Diaw. Cats' sources say there have been calls regarding Diaw.
The Bobcats are in total rebuild mode, so there may not be an untouchable player on the roster. However if you want one of the Bobcats younger guys like say a DJ Augustin, you may have to be willing to take on luggage to get him.
It is possible the Bobcats are active in the run up to the trade deadline, but don't expect anything too crazy unless someone wants to part with unprotected draft picks.
Chicago Bulls:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver, Jimmy Butler
If there is a team that will likely sit out the Trade deadline, it's the Chicago Bulls. That said if the Bulls could flip Ronnie Brewer or Kyler Korver or even promising rookie Jimmy Butler into a real option at two guard they would explore it.
Outside of upgrading the two spot, the Bulls believe they are set going forward and looking at how well the Bulls are playing, it's hard to argue they need much if anything.
Don't expect the Bulls to be engaged in anything serious over the next few weeks. They just do not seem overly interested in a deal.
Cleveland Cavaliers:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Anthony Parker, Antawn Jamison, Ramon Sessions, Ryan Hollins, Daniel Gibson
The Cavs have a tone of moveable assets the most impactful may be the ending contract of Antawn Jamison.
The problem for the Cavs is they are one and half games out of the playoff picture and as an organization, they'd rather get their young guys playoff experience rather than tearing the team apart for draft picks.
The Cavs have 10 games to play before the March 15th trade deadline. If they can get into the 8th seed in the East do not expect the Cavs to be overly active. If the floor falls out from under them change is likely.
If the Cavs decide to sell off their pieces, Ramon Sessions has made it clear he will be opting out of his deal so you can expect the Cavs to try and move him, which should be very easy.
Anthony Parker would solve a number of problems for teams like the Bulls and Hawks, so expect his name to be kicked around as well.
So watch the standings, if the floor falls out from under the Cavs expect to see a For Sale sign hanging in the window in the days leading up to the deadline.
Dallas Mavericks:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Lamar Odom, Shawn Marion, Brendan Haywood, Roddy Beaubois, Dominique Jones
The Mavericks may not move anyone before the trade deadline as their primary goal is to be in a position to romance both Deron Williams and Dwight Howard in July.
The Mavs won't have enough money for both without a sign and trade deal, so flipping players now for tradable assets later is a real possibility.
If a team would take on one of Dallas' bad contracts like Shawn Marion or worse yet Brendan Haywood, the Mavs would likely do that deal in a heartbeat. But the reality is no one is doing that and Dallas is likely going to end the season with the same roster they have right now.
The Mavs have two available young guys in Roddy Beaubois and Dominique Jones, however the price tag may include taking a boat anchor deal in the process.
Sources close to the process say they view Beaubois and Jones as possible sweeteners in a sign and trade deal with either New Jersey or Orlando if they can sway both guys to Big D, so do not be surprised if the Mavs sit out the deadline, which would be odd given their history of roster shake up at the deadline.
Denver Nuggets:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Chris Andersen, Andre Miller, Rudy Fernandez
The Nuggets have been battling injuries and have fallen out of the playoff picture, but word is they will do a new deal with Wilson Chandler in the coming days and once he is acclimated there will be a bit of a log jam.
Rudy Fernandez is a tradable asset; however he's been nursing a sore back, so it's unclear what he could return.
Chris Andersen has been something of the odd man out in Denver, and once the Nuggets get healthy he may not have a role in the rotation.
Andre Miller is an ending contract, however it's highly unlikely Dre is moved unless someone offers something of real value in exchange for him.
The Nuggets are jammed up at a lot of position so expect them to liquidate a few guys to just clear up the roster.
Detroit Pistons:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Ben Gordon, Rodney Stuckey, Jason Maxiell, Charlie Villanueva, Will Bynum
The Pistons are going nowhere fast and they know it. The problem is they are one of those franchises that are stuck. They are not bad enough to land top overall picks, but not nearly good enough to compete.
The Pistons have a lot of guys they'd like to trade – Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva for instance but their deals are so out of line to their production they are almost unmovable.
The Pistons have some guys they could trade tomorrow, but do not want to part with them – Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum for instance.
Somewhere in the middle is where they will end up at the trade deadline.
Jason Maxiell has been shopped for most of the season and Will Bynum could be moved if it returned a high level draft pick.
To get Rodney Stuckey, a team is going to have to offer a real trade asset and that's not been the case to this point.
The Pistons would deal if the situation was right, but they are not one of the teams aggressively searching for change.
Golden State Warriors:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: David Lee, Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins
The Warrior have a choice to make… keep trying with the core they have or start facing the inevitable conclusion that they need to blow this up.
The Warriors are one of the teams willing to rent Dwight Howard for the balance of the season because they know if they can land him one or two of their hefty contracts go out the door to obtain him.
League sources say that Monta Ellis was offered to the 76ers in exchange for Andre Iguodala at the start of the season, so it's clear the team would trade their leading scorer for the right player.
Sources close to the situation point out that any deal involving Monta would have to include either Andris Biedrins or David Lee – the two worst contracts on the books.
There is a real sense that Golden State will try and make a major deal in the run up to the trade deadline, but if taking on a boat anchor contract is the cost, they may want a deal but may not get one.
Houston Rockets:
Who Is Likely On The Move?: Hasheem Thabeet, Jonny Flynn, Jordan Hill, Terrence Williams, Chase Budinger, Courtney Lee, Luis Scola
The Rockets have a ton of small pieces that they would love to combine into one big piece. The problem is Houston really over values their players and most teams are not seriously considering them just yet.
As the trade deadline approaches the asking price on guys will normalize and that's when Houston will get in the mix especially if a major player surfaces.
Luis Scola is their biggest chip to cash, but league sources say his decline this year is directly related to problematic knees and that's going to make him hard to move.
The Rockets want to make a trade – they covet a serious front court player or an impact small forward and if any combination of guys listed above can return that, expect Houston to pounce.
So there you have the first ten teams… look for the next ten teams on Friday.
No Buyout For Odom: There had been a rumor making its way around suggesting that the Dallas Mavericks would be open to a contract buyout of Lamar Odom, who has been struggling since being traded from the Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks.
Mavs owner Mark Cuban told Jeff Caplan of ESPN Dallas that buying out Odom was not in the works and it was not something the team was open to doing.
"We haven't discussed a buyout and we wouldn't do a buyout. No chance that happens at all. We want to help Lamar work through any personal issues and expect him to be a valuable contributor to the Mavs this season. Players go through challenges from time to time and we try to be (an) organization that fully supports our players when things are challenging for them. We will do the same for Lamar."
Odom was not with the team on Monday according to head coach Rick Carlisle who labeled the absence as "dealing with a family matter".
Odom is averaging 7.7 points on 35.7% shooting and grabbing 4.5 rebounds per game, which are all career lows.
The Mavericks have ruled Odom out of tonight's game versus the Nets.
P-Geesy Not Happy: Paul George wasn't happy on Saturday night when he lost the Dunk Contest and that displeasure hasn't changed now that he's back in Indianapolis.
"(Not to) take nothing away from the dunk contest, (but) it was a joke," George said to Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star . "I guess whoever had the biggest celebrity involved in their dunk was going to be the winner. I guess I should have tried to reach out to some people.
"If you leave it up to fans, they probably wouldn't have known who Larry was. I think I was destined to lose it."
More than a few NBA executives commented privately that the product produced on Saturday night was not good, and that the league would be looking into further changes to the process for next year's event in Houston.
Miami's LeBron James joked on Friday that if there was a million dollars on the line, he'd consider competing so maybe it's up to the league to up the ante to get the real stars dunking again.

A.I.'s MacDonald - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene
VIDEO: Interview with Courtney MacDonald
A.I. DuPont volleyball player Courtney MacDonald is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
Courtney had 30 digs and 9 kills in the Tigers' 3 sets to 2 victory over Wilmington Friends last week.
Friends' defeated A.I. in both the first and last match of the Tigers' season last year, and MacDonald said lessons were learned.
"We learned from last year that starting with a big team can really boost your confidence for the upcoming season's games."
The junior says there are few keys to know whether she's going to have a good match.
"I start off strong with my first kill or first serve, or I just have a good starting point at the beginning of the game."
Courtney's volleyball career began in 1st grade, and says her favorite part of the sport is the teamwork.
"It's all about teamwork and you can't do it by yourself. You obviously can't double hit a ball in a game, so you just need people beside you."
Courtney says her favorite high school class has her interested in a possible career in science.
"I want to find new things out in pharmacy and medicine, and I think chemistry helps me in that."

The St. Clair County Board has thrown its weight behind naming the new Mississippi Bridge in honor of military veterans.
Board members voted unanimously in favor of naming the span the "Veterans Bridge" during a meeting Monday. One of the competing proposals intends to name the bridge after recently deceased St. Louis Cardinal Stan Musial. The Missouri and Illinois legislatures must both approve the name of the new bridge.
Board member Frank Heiligenstein (D-Freeburg) said he and fellow board member Larry Stammer (D-Belleville) originally proposed "Veterans Memorial Bridge" but changed it upon the suggestion of Chairman Mark Kern to reflect the sacrifices of living and dead veterans.
Heiligenstein said it was appropriate to name the bridge after all veterans "as opposed to one person because there are a lot of great individual people out there."
The four-lane bridge will carry Interstate 70 across the river and is scheduled to open in 2014. The Illinois portion of the bridge lies in St. Clair County -- home to thousands of veterans and Scott Air Force Base near Mascoutah.
Hall of Famer Musial died Jan. 19 at the age of 92. Missouri state senators introduced legislation three days later to name the bridge after the baseball player. Illinois State Sen. William Sam McCann (R-Jacksonsville) proposed a similar bill on Jan. 30 that would name the bridge the "Stan Musial Memorial Bridge."
The Veterans Bridge proposal is the third attempt to honor veterans with the bridge's namesake.
Rep. Dwight Kay (R-Glen Carbon) put forward a bill on Thursday to name the bridge the "Wounded Warriors Bridge." A proposal to name the bridge "Veterans Memorial Bridge" in 2010 received support from multiple metro-east state legislators, but ultimately died in committee.
Should the new bridge be named in honor of veterans, it would mark the return of a span in the St. Louis region honoring military members. The currently named Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bridge was originally christened the Veterans Memorial Bridge when constructed in 1951.
Funding for the $667 million project stems from federal and state pocketbooks. Illinois funded about half the construction costs with $313 million. The federal government contributed $239 million and Missouri contributed $115 million.
Illinois contributed more funding to the project because most of the construction work to connect the bridge with existing roadways was within the state.
Other proposals to name the bridge have fallen flat, such as proposals in both state legislatures in 2011 to name the bridge the "Jerry F. Costello-William "Bill" Clay Sr. Veterans Memorial Bridge." The 58-character proposed banner died at the committee level as well.
The fight over the bridge's namesake even stretches years before its construction began. In 2005, the Missouri legislature proposed naming the bridge the "Ronald Wilson Reagan Memorial Bridge" after the president. Reagan died on June 5, 2004.

12/7/2011: USCIRF Letter to President Obama on Iraq |
The following letter was sent to President Obama December 7, 2011:
Since 2008, and most recently in May 2011, USCIRF has recommended that Iraq should be designated as a "country of particular concern" under the International Religious Freedom Act for systematic, ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom. Despite an overall decrease in violence in the country, members of Iraq's smallest religious minorities, including Christians, Sabean Mandaeans, and Yazidis, continue to suffer from targeted violence, threats, and intimidation, against which the government does not provide effective protection. Sectarian attacks also continue between Sunni and Shi'a Iraqis. Perpetrators of sectarian or religiously-motivated attacks are rarely identified, investigated, or punished, creating a climate of impunity. In addition, the smallest minorities experience a pattern of official discrimination, marginalization, and neglect, particularly in areas of northern Iraq over which the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government dispute control.
USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan U.S. federal government commission. USCIRF Commissioners are appointed by the President and the leadership of both political parties in the Senate and the House of Representatives. USCIRF's principal responsibilities are to review the facts and circumstances of violations of religious freedom internationally and to make policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and Congress.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) The deal Congress made last summer to move federal student loan rates from 3.4% to 3.85% for the current year was criticized in some quarters and greeted with relief in others. At least the rates did not jump from 3.4% to 6.8% as was generally feared .
But interest rates are at historic low levels and have nowhere to go but up. "Since rates dropped at the start of the credit crisis, we can probably expect them to start increasing by about 1.5% per year in 2015," said Mark Kantrowitz, senior vice president and publisher of Edvisor's Network. That, he added, would mean rates on new loans will probably exceed the old 6.8% rate in 2017 and certainly by 2020.
"So while a student enrolling in college now will save money on their student loans, his or her younger sibling will pay a lot more," he said. "A few years from now, I wouldn't be surprised if students and their parents will be demanding a return to fixed 6.8% interest rates."
Meanwhile, Americans are heading to college in droves. From 1998 to 2008, the College Board estimates that the number of bachelor's degrees increased by 32%, while the number of associate and graduate degrees increased by 34% and 41%, respectively. The number of students enrolled in college is expected to hit 20 million by 2016.
Private lenders will remain an expensive option and for the most part, a lender of last resortwith one exception. Credit unions may provide a hospitable port during the coming rate hike hurricane.
"Credit unions are emerging as strong private student lenders, with a $2.3 billion portfolio," said Paul Gentile, executive vice president of CUNA, the Credit Union National Association. "Delinquency rates for credit union private student loans are significantly lower than federal student loans as well as other private student loans." Credit unions can consolidate private loans at rates as low as 4.75%--depending on the results of the underwriting process. Gentile said CUNA represents over 95 million members with combined assets of over $1 trillion.
"Currently, credit unions do not play a role in federal student loans," he said. However, that could change as credit unions are increasingly offering consolidation loans for people with private loans. There has been some thought given to providing help with consolidating federal student loans. That isn't feasible today, unless some regulatory changes are made."
As not-for-profit financial cooperatives, credit unions often collaborate to expand the products they can offer. Student Choice is an example. Founded by a group of credit unions in 2008, Student Choice claims to have enabled hundreds of credit unions to offer cheaper, private student loan alternatives to member organizations.
"Rates for student loans through credit unions can be considerably lower than what you can expect at a bank," said Al Krulick in his blog on www.debt.org. "Credit unions are more likely to work with if you have a poor credit history or do not have a co-signer. Credit unions' rates are likely to be higher, however, than those for federally subsidized student loans."

LONDON - The head of the London Olympics says, apart from a wrong turn, the final buildup for the London Olympics is going fine.
With 10 days to go until the opening ceremony on July 27, that's the verdict from Sebastian Coe.
The arrival of athletes got off to a bumpy start Monday, with American hurdler Kerron Clement tweeting that the bus taking him from Heathrow Airport to the athletes village got lost for four hours.
Coe told a news conference Tuesday that "apart from a misturning and a couple of tweets we're in pretty good shape."
He said Clement's bus journey actually took 2 1/2 hours and that most athletes reached their destination without any problems.
Coe says "98 per cent of these journeys went without a hitch at all."
