Firms urged to join in creation of technical college
Last updated at 13:43, Friday, 18 January 2013
Businesses have been urged to play an active role in the development of the University Technical College being planned for west Cumbria.
The college will be built at Lillyhall next to Lakes College and is due to take its first students in 2014 and will eventually offer places for 500 pupils between 14 and 19-years-old.
Mike Smith, chief executive of GEN II Training and a member of the new college's board says there are a number of levels for businesses to get involved and support the project.
He told members of the Britiain's Energy Coast Business Cluster that firms could: offer their advice to board members and help determine the skills taught and ethos of the college; offer high quality placements; give students access to specialist facilities; become members of the board or house sponsors.
The first students should start at the college in September 2014 – the culmination of a tight schedule that will see the principal take up their post in September 2013 and construction starting in April 2013.
The first intake will be of around 100 to 120 14 to 16 year-olds in years 10 to 12, Mr Smith said, adding: "It might be that the first cohort of year 12s could be involved in the construction of a new build nuclear station and the year 10s could be the first employed to operate it."
The UTC would ensure the skills gap identified by employers and highlighted in the recent report by Lord Heseltine, he said.
"The skills demanded for this part of the world are phenomenal, but the UTC will reignite technical training," Mr Smith said.
The college will offer a tailored education to 14 to 19 year-olds who will be taught a curriculum featuring English, maths and science along with construction, specialised engineering and design training.
The role of foreign languages and humanities is still being discussed.
Any businesses wanting to know more about the UTC project should contact Maureen Palmer via email@example.com

History Repeating Itself? U.S. Bombing Iraq While Jockeying to Oust Leader It Once Favored
As a U.S. bombing campaign in northern Iraq enters its fifth day, Baghdad is in a state of political crisis. Eight years ago, Nouri al-Maliki rose to prime minister with the help of the United States. Now the United States has helped pick his replacement. But al-Maliki is refusing to go — deploying his forces around Baghdad and accusing critics of staging a coup. The political crisis is worsening as U.S. airstrikes continue on Islamic State militants in the north. President Obama authorized the strikes last week in what he called an effort to halt the militants' advance on Erbil, where the U.S. has a consulate and military personnel, as well as to prevent a massacre of the Yazidi minority. U.S. officials have confirmed the CIA is also secretly sending arms and ammunition directly to Kurdish forces known as the Peshmerga. We are joined by Spencer Ackerman, national security editor at The Guardian.

"Sadistic & Grotesque": Noam Chomsky on How Israel Limits Food & Medicine in Occupied Gaza
On Gaza, MIT Professor Noam Chomsky says the debate inside the Israeli government is whether to allow "bare survival" or to inflict "misery and starvation," as a former Israeli national security adviser recently proposed. "Israeli experts have calculated in detail exactly how many calories, literally, Gazans need to survive, and if you look at the sanctions that they impose, they're grotesque," Chomsky says. "I mean, even John Kerry condemned them bitterly, they're sadistic — just enough calories to survive." Chomsky also addresses the widespread focus on the Hamas charter platform calling for the destruction of Israel. "The only people who pay attention to it are Israeli propagandists, who love it," Chomsky says. "It was a charter put together by a small group of people under siege, under attack in 1988. And it's essentially meaningless. There are charters that mean something, but they're not talked about. So, for example, the electoral program of Israel's governing party, Likud, states explicitly that there can never be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. … And they don't only have it in their charter, their electoral program, but they implement it."
Noam Chomsky on BDS and How the Israeli Occupation is "Much Worse Than Apartheid"
MIT Professor Noam Chomsky discusses U.S. support for Israel; the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement (BDS); and the blockade of Gaza. "In the Occupied Territories, what Israel is doing is much worse than apartheid," Chomsky says. "To call it apartheid is a gift to Israel, at least if by 'apartheid' you mean South African-style apartheid. … There's a crucial difference. The South African Nationalists needed the black population. That was their workforce. The Israeli relationship to the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories is totally different. They just don't want them. They want them out, or at least in prison."
Noam Chomsky on Media's "Shameful Moment" in Gaza & How a U.S. Shift Could End the Occupation
As a new 72-hour ceasefire takes hold in Gaza, we turn to part two of our interview with world-renowned dissident and linguist, MIT Professor Noam Chomsky. Criticizing U.S. media coverage of the Israeli assault on Gaza, Chomsky says: "It's a shameful moment for U.S. media when it insists on being subservient to the grotesque propaganda agencies of a violent, aggressive state." Chomsky also discusses his long-standing view that popular pressure at home is critical to ending the U.S. government's backing for Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. "The United States continues to provide the critical, decisive support for the atrocities," he says. "Sooner or later, it's possible—and that's really up to us—that domestic pressure will compel the U.S. government to join the world on this issue. That will be a decisive change."

Uri Avnery on Gaza Crisis, His Time in a Zionist "Terrorist" Group & Becoming a Peace Activist
Fighting in Gaza has resumed after the expiration of a 72-hour truce expired. Israel said it launched airstrikes after Palestinians fired at least 18 rockets into southern Israel after the ceasefire ended. Palestinian officials say a 10-year-old boy was killed earlier today when an Israeli airstrike hit near a mosque in Gaza City. Six other people were wounded in the attack. A Hamas military wing spokesman earlier called on Palestinian negotiators holding indirect talks with Israeli negotiators in Cairo to refuse any ceasefire extension unless its long-term demands were met. We speak with longtime peace activist Uri Avnery, who has pushed for Israel to engage with Hamas. Avnery is a historic figure within the Israeli peace movement. He was born in Germany in 1923. His family fled the Nazis and moved to what was then Palestine. As a youth, he joined the Irgun Zionist paramilitary group, which he later quit to become a leading peace activist in Israel. In 1950, he founded the news magazine, HaOlam HaZeh. Fifteen years later, he was elected to the Knesset on a peace platform. In 1982, he made headlines when he crossed the lines during the Siege of Beirut to meet Yasser Arafat, head of the then-banned Palestine Liberation Organization. In 1993, he started the Gush Shalom peace movement. He will turn 91 next month and still writes a weekly column.
As U.S. Airstrikes in Iraq Begin, Will Military Intervention Escalate Growing Crisis?
The Pentagon has announced U.S. military aircraft carried out airstrikes in northern Iraq today targeting artillery used by the militant group Islamic State used against Kurdish forces defending the city of Erbil. The bombing came less than 12 hours after President Obama spoke on national television announcing he had authorized airstrikes in Iraq in an attempt to halt the sweeping advance by the Islamic State. Obama becomes the fourth U.S. president in a row to order military action in Iraq. The Islamic State has captured large swaths of northern Iraq and has advanced to a half-hour drive from the Kurdish regional capital, Erbil. Up to 40,000 people, many of them members of the Yazidi religious minority, remain trapped on the Sinjar Mountains near the border with Syria, surrounded by rebels and slowly dying of thirst. The United States has also begun dropping relief supplies. We speak to Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies. She has written several books, including "Ending the Iraq War: A Primer." One of her recent articles is "Don't Go Back to Iraq!: Five Steps the U.S. Can Take in Iraq Without Going Back to War."

"A Hideous Atrocity": Noam Chomsky on Israel's Assault on Gaza & U.S. Support for the Occupation
Hideous. Sadistic. Vicious. Murderous. That is how Noam Chomsky describes Israel's 29-day offensive in Gaza that killed nearly 1,900 people and left almost 10,000 people injured. Chomsky has written extensively about the Israel/Palestine conflict for decades. After Israel's Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009, Chomsky co-authored the book "Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War Against the Palestinians" with Israeli scholar Ilan Pappé. His other books on the Israel/Palestine conflict include "Peace in the Middle East?: Reflections on Justice and Nationhood" and "The Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians." Chomsky is a world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author, Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has taught for more than 50 years.
Despite Ceasefire, Humanitarian Crisis Continues in Gaza with 500,000 Displaced & 10,000 Injured
The 72-hour ceasefire in Gaza has entered its final day. Talks are ongoing to extend the truce, but no agreement has been reached. Palestinian and Israeli officials are in Egypt, however have not held face-to-face negotiations on securing a lasting ceasefire. Meanwhile, Gaza is in a state of devastation and ruin. Close to 1,900 Palestinians were killed during the 29-day conflict, including at least 1,354 civilians, of whom 415 are children. More than 10,000 people have been injured. There are 373,000 children who require psychological support. Some 500,000 Palestinians have been displaced with 187,000 still living in U.N. emergency shelters. An estimated 10,000 homes have been completely destroyed, and 30,000 homes partially destroyed. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers were killed in Gaza, and three civilians in Israel. We go to Jerusalem to speak with Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

"War Makes Everyone Crazy": Hiroshima Survivor Reflects on 69th Anniversary of U.S. Atomic Bombing
Sixty-nine years ago at 8:15 a.m., the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Destruction from the bomb was massive: Shock waves, radiation and heat rays took the lives of some 140,000 people — nearly half of the town's population. Three days later, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, killing another 74,000. At Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, we hear from blast survivor Koji Hosokawa, who was 17 years old at the time. His 13-year-old sister, Yoko, died in the bombing. Hosokawa spoke to us next to the A-Bomb Dome, one of the few structures in the city that survived the blast.
Killing of U.S. General by Afghan Soldier Underscores Obama's "Deep Problems" in Winding Down War
A U.S. general has been killed in Afghanistan in what the Pentagon says is the latest insider attack by an Afghan soldier. Major General Harold Greene reportedly died after the soldier opened fire at a British-run military academy near the capital, Kabul. Up to 14 coalition troops were wounded. Greene was the deputy commanding general for the command involved in preparing the withdrawal of U.S.-led coalition troops at the end of the year. He is the highest-ranking U.S. officer killed in combat since the Vietnam War. We speak to Matthieu Aikens, an award-winning investigative journalist based in Kabul, Afghanistan. Aikins recently investigated possible war crimes in Afghanistan for Al Jazeera America and has previously covered insider attacks. "This kind of attack shows just how the deep the problem runs," Aikins says. "Even at the highest levels, what should have been a highly secured group of senior officers, [insider attacks] can do damage. It will certainly restrict even more the already limited contact [U.S.-led NATO forces] have with the Afghans."

Can Israel Claim Self-Defense Against the Territory It Occupies? Int'l Jurist John Dugard Says No
With close to 1,900 dead from Israel's month-long assault on Gaza, Human Rights Watch is calling on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to seek International Criminal Court jurisdiction over potential war crimes committed on and from Palestinian territory. HRW says both Israeli forces and Palestinian militants committed war crimes. We are joined by HRW Executive Director Kenneth Roth and John Dugard, former U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories and emeritus professor of international law at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. "Given the fact that Gaza is an occupied territory, it means that Israel's present assault is simply a way of enforcing the continuation of the occupation," says Dugard, "and the response of the Palestinian militants should be seen as the response of an occupied people that wishes to resist the occupation."
As Palestinians Go to ICC, Human Rights Watch Alleges Israeli War Crimes for Shooting Fleeing Gazans
As the 72-hour ceasefire in Gaza enters its second day, Palestinian officials have been meeting with prosecutors at the International Criminal Court to push for a probe of alleged war crimes committed by Israel during the 29-day offensive that left nearly 1,900 Palestinians dead. Israel has said it attempted to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza and accused Hamas of putting its people in harm's way by launching rockets from within densely populated districts. In a report this week, Human Rights Watch accused Israeli soldiers of shooting and killing fleeing civilians in Gaza, citing interviews with seven Palestinians in the village of Khuza'a. We air testimony from Khuza'a residents who survived the attacks, and speak to Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth.

New York Police Killing of Eric Garner Spurs Debate on Chokeholds & Filming Officer Misconduct
After a New York City medical examiner rules homicide in the death of Eric Garner at the hands of police, we look at the growing concern over the use of police chokeholds and a new attempt to hold officers accountable by defending a citizen's right to videotape their actions. On July 17, New York City police placed Garner, an African-American father of six, in a chokehold after they confronted him for selling single cigarettes known as "loosies." Graphic video of the incident shows an officer pulling Garner to the ground by the neck and then holding his head against the pavement. He repeatedly says that he cannot breathe. Garner's family and supporters have called for criminal charges against the officer and a federal civil rights investigation. Chokeholds like the one that killed Garner have been banned under NYPD's excessive force guidelines for more than two decades. But today, the city's Civilian Complaint Review Board will meet to address more than 1,000 chokehold complaints against officers in recent years. We are joined by two mothers whose sons were killed by New York City police officers: Iris Baez and Kadiatou Diallo. We also speak to civil liberties attorney Norman Siegel and his client, Debra Goodman, a retired legal secretary who filed a lawsuit against the City of New York after she was arrested for filming police in an incident last year.
Iron Dome Boondoggle: Has Obama Just Signed a $225M Check for a Defective Israeli Missile Shield?
President Obama signed a bill on Monday granting an additional $225 million in emergency funding for Israel to replenish its arsenal of interceptor missiles for its Iron Dome air defense system. The emergency spending was approved unanimously by the Senate and by a 395-to-8 vote in the House. Amidst universal support of Iron Dome from politicians and the corporate media, one of the country's leading missile experts, Theodore Postol, says there is no evidence that Iron Dome is actually working. Postol is well known within defense circles for exposing the failures of the Patriot missile system during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. "I have been privy to discussions with members of Congress who have oversight responsibilities, who have acknowledged in those discussions that they have no idea whether Iron Dome is working or not," says Postol, a professor of science, technology and national security policy at MIT. "And I can also tell you that the U.S. government has not been given any information on the performance of Iron Dome."

Gaza Ceasefire: After 1,800+ Dead, What Led Israel to Stop the Assault — and What Comes Next?
After a nearly month-long assault that left at least 1,865 Palestinians dead, Israel has pulled its ground forces from the Gaza Strip under the 72-hour ceasefire that went into effect earlier today. Israeli and Palestinian factions have agreed to attend talks in Cairo on a longer-term agreement. Gaza officials say the vast majority of Palestinian victims were civilians in the Israeli offensive that began on July 8. Israel says 64 of its soldiers and three civilians have been killed. Palestinians are returning to homes and neighborhoods that have seen a massive amount of destruction. Nearly a quarter of Gaza's 1.8 million residents were displaced during the fighting which destroyed more than 3,000 homes. The ceasefire was reached after international outrage over Palestinian civilian deaths peaked, with even Israel's chief backer, the United States, criticizing recent Israeli shelling of United Nations shelters that killed scores of displaced Palestinians. To discuss the lead-up to the ceasefire and what to expect from the talks in Cairo, we are joined by author and scholar Norman Finkelstein.

Runner Runner (2013)
Critics Consensus: It has an impressive cast and an intriguing premise, but Runner Runner wastes them on a bland, haphazardly assembled thriller with very little payoff.

Movie Info

Ivan sees a kindred spirit in Richie and brings the younger man into his operation.

Critic Reviews for Runner Runner
All Critics (112) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (103)
The actors hit the jackpot, but only in terms of their paychecks. The audience gets a tension-free, tight-assed, Casino ripoff that leaves them thoroughly fleeced.
The mannered speech is fun, the players are charismatic, and director Brad Furman maintains an agreeably brisk pace.
It looks like everybody's lying, and that's only because the acting is pretty bad.
The movie mostly wants to look timely and seem topical. Instead, it feels irrelevant.
Various subplots are given short shrift and the whole thing feels more like a Cliff's Notes version of a longer piece than an actual finished motion picture.
You want the movie to get outrageous, but it's too dignified to go there. Much like its central villain, it can't decide what it wants to be.
Ultimately, Runner Runner is really just a movie designed to provide some background noise as you update your Facebook.
Mixes the vacuous and tedious, slick and predictable, smarmy and smug. There's gambling lingo, racism or sleaziness spouting from the mouths of male a**holes, conversations steaming with banal bluster, and tropical scenes out of perfume and liqueur ads.
A bland retelling of a familiar story that lies in the shadow of smarter and sleeker films like 'The Firm.'
...it's ultimately impossible to downplay the rampant ineffectiveness of virtually every aspect of the proceedings.
Its pedigree may seem like a trump card, but make no mistake -- Runner Runner is bluffing.
Five years from now, I can see this movie constantly slotted on networks like USA and TNT to fill the programming gaps.
Justin Timberlake can not carry a movie on his own and this one sinks under his efforts. Still the plot of the movie is pretty much run of the mill in its own right
There's nothing glaringly wrong with it, but it's so glossily mediocre that it's impossible to recommend to anyone not contemplating a lengthy plane journey.
Stars Justin Timberlake, the perfect vanilla pseudoadult for a story of pseudoadult intrigues and pleasures.
Runner Runner gives both [Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck] room to show what they can do, and rather than pump up the volume, they play it close to the vest, as good gamblers would.
Director Furman and cinematographer Mauro Fiore make lovely work of the tropical light, but the film has none of the loose-limbed energy of Furman's stealth hit, The Lincoln Lawyer.
This lurid and choppy morality tale is a pale copy of those Ben Mezrich books about Ivy League guys who get in over their heads by gambling.
Will Richie regain his moral compass? Can our young turk turn the tables on his scheming mentor? If you're hoping for a surprise answer to any of these questions, then you are watching the wrong movie.
The eye rolls are plentiful during this far-fetched thriller that provides little insight into corruption in the high-stakes world of online gambling.
Unremarkable Internet gambling thriller, where every move made is a losing one.
Runner Runner feels like a movie you've seen a hundred times on cable, and hearkens back to numerous, thoroughly average, mid-budgeted dramatic thrillers of the mid-'90s that will fill programming slots on late night forever.
Audience Reviews for Runner Runner
Brad Furman's Runner Runner sees Justin Timberlake and Ben Aflleck on full smarm offensive. The film deals with relatively young but mega rich on-line gambling entrepreneur Aflleck defending himself against accusations of fraud from a young, smart, ex-Wall street dealer who lost his entire savings in an on-line poker game. Instead of going to the authorities, Timberlake goes straight to source and ends up with a rather nice job. Cue poor Bond villainesque shenanigans, Cartel nonsense and an unconvincing romance. Instead of character development, director Brad Furman relies solely on good looking extras and an abysmal script. The film does look good and it tackles a seedy world that I dislike immensely but other than that, I didn't much care for it.
Super Reviewer
If they gave an award for Worst Movie Trailer for the year, I'm sure this would win it. I remember seeing it and just being like "man that is a horrible trailer, the movie can't possible be that bad", and it actually is. Justin Timberlake plays a Princeton student who loves to gamble and plays online poker to pay his tuition. When he is cheated on a big game and loses everything he decides to go to Costa Rica and confront the man behind the website, Ivan Block(Ben Affleck). So he confronts him and Affleck gives him a refund and offers him a 7 figure job right there on the spot. Yup, just like that. Timberlake then finds out the Block is a bad guy to do business with as the F.B.I is after him. First, the performances are horrible! I like Timberlake and Affleck, but they are so miscast here it's laughable. This is the worst Timberlake has been in a movie yet, and Affleck is the most unconvincing mobster I may have ever seen. There were a couple times in this they had a chance to go further and save the movie, but they hold back. Really makes the movie feel like it is lacking the balls needs for a mobster flick. It's dumb, pointless, and a waste of time. Just skip it and watch "Rounders" instead, now there is a good gambling movie.More

Good movie and interesting plot. Justin needs money for his Masters degree at Princeton. He uses an online casino but loses his money. He realises he has been cheated out of his money. He goes to Costa Rica to confront the casino tycoon Ben. Who offers him a job. Movie produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.More

Ritchie: Why 'The House'?
Ivan: Because The House always wins.
Runner Runner is the kind of trashy B-movie that doesn't aspires to build a whole lot of expectation for the viewer. It simply wants to be seen as watchable. The film is harmless in what it presents, but it is a shame that no one really seems to care how effective this film turned out overall. It has a mix of good actors and good-looking locations, but the screenplay is so bland and paint-by-numbers that the sense of urgency in a film that literally has people hounded by crocodiles feels completely missing. There is an interesting idea to explore in the world of online gambling and how they are run by offshore companies, but Runner Runner fails to find it.

Runner Runner Quotes
- Ivan Block:
- What did you expect me to do, Richie? Walk into my party, accuse me of cheating in front of all my friends. I can't let that go by. That's the problem with your generation. You guys sat around with your vintage T-shirts and your participation medal, and you never did anything.
- Ivan Block:
- That little voice in the back of your head right now, it's not conscience, it's fear.
- Richie:
- I'll be happy to tell my boss that you are not happy.

Not everything that comes from Japan is cute. In fact, Melt Banana seems to be doing everything it can to deny the naturally adorable output of its birthplace. Formed fifteen years ago, the band remains uncompromising in its ability to mess with audiences' preconceptions by gouging a Hello Kitty-shaped hole right through their eardrums. Employing the use of bass, guitar, theremin, computers and whatever the hell instrument makes that laser-zap sound, the noise band grinds screechy clamor against abrasive thumps with a dash of piercing dentist drill. But the effect is great: If you grit your teeth and listen long enough, you'll realize the band is actually taking you on an artful journey that culminates in a semi-melodic loop of blissed-out frequencies.

Lee 6-Cavity Bullet Mold 356-125-2R 9mm Luger, 38 Super, 380 ACP (356 Diameter) 125 Grain 2 Ogive Radius
Product #: 658356 Lee #: 90457 UPC #: 734307904579
Product Information
Designed for volume production, the Lee 6-Cavity Bullet Mold blocks are machined from commercial quality aluminum and feature steel bushing and alignment pins. Lee mold blocks are machined from aluminum blocks making them rust resistant. Aluminum molds heat up and cool down faster than iron or steel molds so good bullets can usually be produced after only a few casts. In addition, they are one-third the weight of iron or steel mold blocks for less fatigue during extended casting sessions. To ensure the best possible bullets, mold block halves are CNC machined for unmatched roundness and size control. Lee 6-Cavity molds come with a cam operated, hard-anodized sprue plate which is held tightly with tempered spring washers at each end. Weights given are Lee's weights with suggested alloy; actual weight may vary due to alloy mixture used. Handles ARE NOT included (#117-892).

Daniel-Meyer Coliseum won't be torn down, but less than zero people would be sad to see the home arena of the TCU basketball teams turned into a giant fire pit. Few places in college basketball cultivated a losing atmosphere any better than this place, which after today will soon be no more.
Built in 1961, the arena is set for a massive facelift that will move the basketball teams out of the arena for one season.
It was appropriate that in the last game to be played at the "old" DMC, the Horned Frogs lost - 97-67 against No. 23 Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon.
In Year No. 2 of the Trent Johnson era, the Frogs are 9-21, and 0-18 in the Big 12. He needs one or two special players to make a difference. His highly ranked recruits - Kaviar Shepherd and Brandon Parrish - both look a bit thin, and overmatched, as freshmen. The weight room should change some of that.
Considering that TJ's team will play at a glorified high school gym next season as renovations continue at DMC, he is going to need a fourth season to be properly evaluated. This isn't a lost cause, but he does need players.
When his team returns to the renovated home arena, hopefully he will have some talent, and some experience, that will make the first season more memorable than the previous years at this place. It is too bad; when that place was full, it was scary loud and intimidating.
In the 53 seasons played at DMC, the Frogs' posted a winning record 35 times. They were 553-268 at home.
(The women's basketball team? Uhhhh ... yeeeeeah ... until Mike Petersen took over in 1996 and then was replaced Jeff Mittie a few years later, just go with not great.)
Not until AD Chris Del Conte put the time, effort, and now money, into this program could this team be expected to have a shot to compete in any Division I conference. When the DMC renovations are complete, and the school has a building it can sell, then both the team and the head coach be given a proper evaluation.
Once the contractors move out the team can start building the home atmosphere it has lacked, and needs to win.
Here is one of the great memories from DMC ... circa 1986 versus Texas.

Nothing ESPN has done since its creation has been any better than its "30 For 30 series", which has branched out and become must-see sports TV. The latest creation is a "30 For 30 Short" that chronicles the Texas Rangers, and their trade of shortstop Alex Rodriguez to the New York Yankees.
The 22-minute documentary is a fascinating watch. It reviews the day A-Rod signed with the Rangers for 10-years, $252 million and then the reasoning to deal him three years later - the money was too much for then owner Tom Hicks.
A-Rod told Texas Rangers GM John Hart he did not want to be a part of a rebuilding process with the Rangers, and that he would entertain deals to the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox.
According to Hart in this documentary, he called Yankees GM Brian Cashman first, who said "Not at this time." Cashman did not think they had a place for A-Rod, because they had Derek Jeter at short and Aaron Boone at third base. Not to mention the quiet tension that existed between Jeter and A-Rod's envy towards the Yankees' captain.
Rangers owner Tom Hicks called the Red Sox, and that is where A-Rod was going. The Red Sox were going to send Manny Ramirez, and possibly pitcher Jon Lester, to Texas.
Since this is an ESPN creation, the focus of the short 'doc is on the Red Sox/Yankees rivarly. This does not focus too much on A-Rod's intense desire to leave the Rangers, and to be a star in a major market. A-Rod went so far to call a high member of the player's union to lobby for a deal to Boston, and he agreed to reduce the seven years, $179 million remaining on his deal.
That is what killed A-Rod to Boston; Aaron Boone suffers an injury, and the Yankees had a need at third base, which the Rangers' player OK'd.
Here is the killer - Cashman said they would deal Alfonso Soriano, and then any player on a long list of minor leaguers. The Rangers went with Joaquin Arias. On the same list was Robinson Cano.

The film will also air Sunday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

It may not drive donations or spur school applicants quite the way TCU's win at Texas on Thanksgiving did in 2012, but what happened Sunday afternoon was big.
TCU's women's basketball team finally defeated Texas. Click here for the game story. A universal reaction may be - it's women's basketball, who cares? On a smaller scale, it's a big deal.
Having once been the esteemed media realtions director for the TCU women's basketball team back when the program actually began to try (fall of '96), it was uncomfortable to type "vs. Texas, 0-32" in the media guide. There is a certain degree of embarrassment that comes with that sentence.
There are a loooooot of people associated with TCU who can recall some of the beatings against UT; 96-33 back in the mid '90s comes to mind. There was a myth that one time UT coach Jody Conradt did not travel her starters to Fort Worth for one game so they could study for a test. Not sure if that was true, but it fits.
The Texas women's basketball program may no longer be the monolith it was back in the '80s, but for TCU women's basketball coach Jeff Mittie Sunday was not only important to his team, but to so many who once were a part of this program. Of all the transformations that school has enjoyed since it decided to take athletics seriously, none is more amazing than women's basketball. That program was the worst for more than a decade; something the administration simply threw money at in an effort to satisfy Title IX.
"You know the historical background and the importance for so many people back in the Southwest Conference days," Mittie said Sunday evening. "We talked about it earlier in the week - we could do a few things that haven't been done. This was another opportunity do something that had not been done at TCU.
"We are obviously not where we want to be, but last year we took our lumps and we lost these games like this. Now our team is starting to believe."
Women's basketball was like most other programs at TCU in Conference USA or Mountain West Conference - it was near the top, and went to the NCAAs. The transition into the Big 12 for Mittie has been similar to the other programs - not easy.
Even in a difficult women's basketball league, Mittie's crew may be the closest to returning to the NCAAs. They are 12-6, 3-3 in the Big 12; a .500 league record may get them in. At a minimum, defeating Texas and winning games in the Big 12 will land Mittie better players.
"We are in the conversation more now (for top recruits), but we still have to land that kid," Mittie said. "People are answering our phone calls more. We are having more national discussions. We have to have success - if you do that, there are enough recruits."

AUSTIN, Texas - Didn't take long for new University of Texas athletic director Steve Patterson to make some new friends.
Shortly after introducing Charlie Strong as the new football coach at Texas, UT fat cat booster Red McCombs popped on the radio. He has his feewings huuurt.
McCombs told ESPN 1250 in San Antonio that UT went about the selection process wrong, and that he was shutout. He said he had been talking to Jon Gruden; Red believed he had Chucky in the bag to be the next coach at UT.
He really threw Strong under the bus, and comes across as an old-school bigot: "I don't have any doubt Charlie is a fine coach. I think he'd probably make a fine position coach, maybe a coordinator."
Could that be more condescending?
This is what happens when you have just that much money - you do not care because there is zero consequence.
McCombs said, however, he would support Strong. Good to have friends like that.
It appears as if despite drawing up The CYA Committee of 8 to find Mack Brown's replacement, Steve Patterson was going alone on this hire. If this does not work out, he's sooooo fired. Red will make sure of it.
After the press conference before a small handful of us nerd media types, Patterson said he did not know where it started that other candidates turned down the job. Can't imagine.
"Charlie Strong was the only coach we made an offer to," Patterson said.
Charlie Strong may have been the only coach Steve Patterson and UT president Bill Powers made the offer to, but clearly some other UT "executives" made their offers, too.

AUSTIN, Texas - Two of the highest paid employees in the state of Texas are African-American. That they are both head coaches of college football teams speaks to a complete lack of priorities, but that's a different animal.
When Charlie Strong was introduced as the first black coach of any men's athletic program at Texas on Monday morning in Austin it was yet another barrier busted for blacks. It's the same one Kevin Sumlin broke when he was named the head coach at Texas A&M two years ago.
"Yes, it's a historical day," Strong said. "There is always going to be a first somewhere. We are going to make it good and do what we need to do to make it better. I'm just a coach."
Strong's hiring is a sign that a black coach can get one of the good jobs in college football. For every aspiring black assistant coach spending umpteen hours trying to move up, Strong and Sumlin are examples it can be done.
"I had a great job where I was. This is the best of the best," Strong said. "You think of the one percent of the one percent. This is the top of the line. When you have the opportunity to go to the best you have to put your name in."
The work is insane, the hours are unhealthy, but the top job is possible. The people making the decisions don't care about anything other than winning (oh, and graduating 'good kids.').
For so long black coaches have been relegated to the "bad jobs" in college football – Sylvester Croom at Mississippi State, Bob Simmons at Oklahoma State, Matt Simon at North Texas, Joker Phillips at Kentucky, Turner Gill at Kansas, Jim Caldwell at Wake Forest, etc. (It should be noted that as a Kansas undegrad alum, Gill was a bad head coach.)
The stupid standards of evaluating and judging a coach should be the same throughout, white or black: Win all the time, never lose to your rival, sign six-star recruiting classes, etc. and basically be perfect.
"People look at it as me being a minority. I'm a football coach," he said. "College football has changed, and everybody has welcomed the change."
So now a state that is still often used as the punchline for racist jokes features two head African Americans who make more money than any other state employee. Too bad their respective teams will likely never play each other … but that's a different animal.

That stupid thing I wrote earlier about Texas not hiring a black head coach to replace Mack Brown? - yeeeeaaaaahhhhh .... I don't know who wrote that.
Turns out, according to Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com, Austin247, Brian Davis of the Austin-American Statesman and "media reports", UT has hired University of Louisville head coach Charlie Strong to replace Mack Brown. Or is really close.
Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesman quotes a high-ranking UT source who says the job has been offered, and they expect Strong to accept. He is. Last year he turned down Tennessee. He is not turning down another orange UT for a second consecutive year.
Vegas had it all the way. Oddsmakers from Day 1 said Strong was the leading candidate.
As a sidenote - $100 says UT will hold the presser to introduce Strong late in the afternoon on Monday, just a couple of hours before the BCS title game.
This is a gutsy, massively risky hire. Strong is nothing like the men who coached the Horns before. And this has zero to do with the fact he is African American.
This is not a wine-and-cheese, country club head coach. He may be exactly what UT needs to break its repuation as a softy, Hallmark card program. He could also blow up and be overrun by the massive political machine that is Texas Longhorns football.
Many a savvy political animal have died in Austin before.
Mack Brown's "resignation" was not about politics, rather entirely about results. If Texas Strong is successful, no one will care whether the man has the political touch of a starving donkey. The job before Strong is not easy, despite UT's advantage$$$$$$.
Baylor is rolling. Oklahoma could be the best team in the Big 12 next season. Okie State is not going away. Kansas State will always be a thorn with Bill Snyder. TCU is not going to roll over with Gary Patterson. Coach Dude Bro will run a competitve team at Texas Tech. And the team in College Station is doing OK, too.
Strong is 53, played at Central Arkansas, and has been in the big-time college coaching game since 1983, when he was an assistant at Florida. He has coached linebackers, wide receivers, defensive tackles, etc.; Louisville has been his only head coaching job, where he began in 2010.
2010: 7-6
2011: 7-62012: 11-2
2013: 12-1
If Strong can duplicate those last two seasons in Austin, all the time, great hire. If he just doesn't lose, he should do just fine.

Even in 2014 the question must be asked - is there any reason why none of the candidates being floated to replace Mack Brown as head coach at Texas is not African-American?
Yes, Las Vegas put University of Louisville head coach Charlie Strong as the favorite to land the job but thus far every name associated to replace Mack Brown has been a white dude:
Nick Saban, Art Briles, Jim Mora Jr., Jimbo Fisher, Jon Gruden and on and on.
If James Franklin, David Shaw and Strong or any other black coach is not on the list for any reason other than the fact Steve Patterson and CYA Committee of 8 believes there are superior choices they are idiots.
UPDATE - Chip Brown of OrangeBloods.com is reporting that UT has interviewed Franklin and Strong.
UT and Austin may be two of the most liberal places in aconservative Texas, but ... the major players at UT in terms of dollars are older white dudes. Dumb as it sounds, it's true there could be some older white guys out there who aren't comfortable with an African-American in power.
But there could have been such people in College Station when they hired Kevin Sumlin. That's kinda worked.
I am not a believer that an African-American coach will attract "top African American" talent; if that was the case, all white coaches would lose. Good is good. Turner GIl is African-American, and the man is a horrible head coach. Kevin Sumlin is an African-American, and obviously is damn good at his job.
We should be at a point where we evaluate coaches based solely on their record. If he stinks, get him out regardless of race, or the size of his buyout. If he is good, slap the man with an extension and build him a statue.
This is 2014, and a school would be wise to hire an alien from Mars if they thought he could win 12 games and reach a BCS game.
In fairness to UT and its selection process, it has not announced some list of white guys. The names being floated are from media reports, but it's probably not a coincidence all of these guys are signing extensions at the threat of leaving.
Who hasn't? Shaw. Franklin. Strong.
Vegas is seldom wrong, so maybe Strong will be the next coach at UT.
At this point, we can all agree the only 'W' that matters is the win, not whether the coach is White.

Perhaps it's all of that money, but there is something about Texas Longhorns football that is simply too nice. Maybe it's Austin. Maybe the place is a giant country club. Maybe UT is the college equivalent of Valley Ranch.
If Texas wants to be as good as it believes it's their God-given right, something much greater has to change surrounding that football team. It is 2014, and nice guys don't win. It would be great if they did, but ...
The culture and attitude at UT must change. There is a sense of entitlement; if UT just spends all of its millions, national titles will come. Everyone is spending money. The ones who win national titles spend money, and get nasty.
There is a reason why NFL scouts and assistant coaches knock UT players as soft, or too nice. It's because many of them - not all - are just that. Never met a former UT player who was recruited and played for Mack Brown who was anything other than professional and polite.
Being polite, kind and decent are wonderful traits but good football teams usually require a sprinkling of jerk holes.
Mack Brown "stepping down" confirms what we all know - we don't care about good kids, graduation rates, or good guys when it conflicts with winning the game.
No one cares if the Texas women's volleyball team, soccer team, kick ball team, diving team, chess team, Yahtzee team all win national titles in the same week - just be good in football. And by good we mean reach college football's new Final Four. Seriously, UT has to be in the discussion. To again be in the discussion for the Holiday Bowl, Alamo Bowl or www.AdultFriendFinder.com Bowl is a joke.
There is no excuse for the University of Texas to be anything other than the best team in the state, and consistently a top five program in the nation. You want to win, find a coach and bury him in more money than he has ever seen in his life. Lie through your teeth about the time commitments for the Longhorn Network, and quit missing on so many quarterbacks. While you're at it, start finding some offensive linemen, too. Green light the awful practice of "gray shirting".
If you are going to move Mack Brown upstairs, or tell him to go away, you are saying you are done with the good guy routine. Start stepping on throats. There will be a price to pay later (ask USC), but no one cares about 2016.
It's 2014, and it's time for Bevo to get dirty and mean.

Art Briles said when the Fiesta Bowl matchup was announced that they respect all of their opponents; Wednesday night's game against Central Florida is evidence to the contrary.
Hard to believe in a season where Briles' name was as hot as any coach in the country that in the finale he would get crushed by a team that barely beat Temple.
Alas, this was not the ending Baylor was expecting to its finest season since 1734. Central Florida defeated 52-42 in the Fiesta Bowl on Wednesday evening in a finale that could work out better for Baylor long term - this was an awful resume tape for Briles to show the University of Texas or the Washington Redskins.
If he does leave, there is no way any owner or AD is going to green light him bringing defensive coordinator Phil Bennett.
Despite Briles' signing a 10-year extension a while back, absolutely no one is ruling Briles out for the jobs in DC or in Austin. According to a Tweet from Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com, UT AD Steve Patterson wants to talk to Briles but "Baylor is not worried." How high is that buyout?
Against UCF, Baylor looked disorganized, arrogant and like a team that believed how great it was. That is often the case in a many bowl games - Alabama v. Utah a few years ago in the Sugar Bowl comes to mind. Sometimes there is nothing a coach can do to prevent a bunch of teenagers and 20 year-olds against over confidence. Baylor was a 16.5 point favorite.
But considering this was Baylor's first appearance in a big-money (i.e. BCS) game, over confidence should not have been an issue.
That Baylor's defense was exposed is not a surprise - the Bears are built to get a lead, and force the other team to pass. UCF took a 14-0 lead, and never trailed thus allowing them to keep running the ball.
The surprise is that a team that won the Big 12 completely lost it; 17 penalties for 135 yards is not flattering for the coaching staff.
Central Florida is good, and coach George O' Leary knows what he is doing. He has a good team.
To judge Briles, or Baylor's season, based on this one game against an underrated team is stupid but this does not look good. The Bears' historic season deserved a better conclusion than being on the wrong side of a blowout in prime time.

We woke to torrential rain. In fact much of the night was torrential rain so it was no surprise we were next to a very large puddle.

Then into Bordeaux. Drove to the park and ride and then tram into the city. What a ...

... clearly stated that camping cars were interdit. We went down to Langon to see where the A380 parts were offloaded from the barges. Returning, we walked round the town. I managed to find a hairdresser who could cut my hair. It has grown so quickly in the last 10 weeks. And in the heat it gets very uncomfortable. I was happy with what I got. We had a nice meal outside the town walls before walking back up through the town to ...

Today we drove first to the absolutely beeeautiful chateau of Chenonceau..... This again was on my must visit list. This chateau spans across the river Cher .It is very picturesque... ( see photos) We went throughout ...

St. André's - Bordeaux's main cathedral - it is stunningly beautiful, with two elegant spheres, an amazing rose-window, and above the entrance detailed sculptures show important events in Christianity's history. As you can probably tell We really enjoyed Bordeaux! ...

Will Mick Foley ever return to WWE? I don't have a definitive answer but my gut instinct says that he will at some point and it could even be this year. I can't see Mick wrestling regularly but stepping back in the ring for something special seems feasible. Mick has many skills and could be an asset for any company in a variety of ways.
Will the nWo return to WWE? Not sure why we get SO many questions on this one other than many fans seemingly long for content that stood out back in the day and the fact that Kevin Nash made an impactful visit to Buffalo Sunday. My 'guess' would be no but I wouldn't wager on it either way.
