text: Football News Posted by John Saturday, May 10, 2014 Go To Comments Farewell El Pupi! It was the moment which I never realize would ever come as for all my life I've never seen him tiring down, always running with full energy up and down throughout the time when he is on the pitch. But then again, for every story has to have an ending; for Javier ZANETTI playing career, that ending was today. "ZANETTI is an Inter legend, it's weird to think we'll no longer see him out there playing or training, he's emblematic of this club" coach Walter MAZZARRI said before the match. The buildup for this match during the whole week was almost as if it was a festival and not to forget, it was also the last time for Walter SAMUEL and Diego MILITO in a Inter shirt with also the possibility of Esteban CAMBIASSO leaving the club in the summer. But today, it was all about the man who has served the club with loyalty & dignity for past the 2 decades; with over 850 appearances for the club, winning 5 Scudetto, 4 Coppa Italia, 4 Supercoppa Italia, a UEFA Cup, a FIFA Club World Cup and the ultimate one, lifting the Champions League in 2010. Not bad for someone who started as a bricklayer for his father's company! ZANETTI started from the bench today and Inter didn't got off to a good start with Giuseppe BIAVA putting Lazio ahead within 2 minute but goals from Rodrigo PALACIO (who scored twice) and Mauro ICARDI (he dedicated his goal to ZANETTI). .@MauroIcardi: "The crowd is amazing. My goal is for #Zanetti. We have to keep playing at the same tempo and win this game" #JZ4ever #IntLaz — F.C. Internazionale (@Inter) May 10, 2014 But the main agenda of the night arrived in the 52nd minute when the entire San Siro was on their feet to welcome to ZANETTI, as JONATHAN makes way for him. HERNANES wrap things up in the 79th minute & Inter finished the night with a 4-1 win, ensuring that it was going to be a winning send off for their captain marvel. I must admit that it wasn't easy for me to write this article as I'm still very emotional (with a little bit of tears flowing down) when watching this game. Nevertheless let us take this moment to celebrate the man who in my opinion has given everything for both club & country. Javier #Zanetti salutes his fans: "Thanks to you all, I will always love #Inter" #JZ4ever #FCIM pic.twitter.com/xcIx0vjonG — F.C. Internazionale (@Inter) May 10, 2014 Gracias El Pupi!

My humble tribute for Javier ZANETTI, Salute and hat-off el pibe (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 8:42 PM 0 This one of the best defenders ever to come out of Argentina along side with Cabezon Oscar Ruggeri. Zanetti is a great player great person. He was robbed by not getting picked in the 2006 world cup. 2010 also was a very bad decision my Maradona. He was not favorite in Argentina for some reason. I wish him the Best. Eres grande Pupi Zanetti pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 8:02 PM 2 guled: WE ARE ARGENTINA and the semi final is not a success, only winning the world cup will be a successful tournament.never do i think its ok if we finish 3 or 4 or 5 etc, nothing but winning the w.c is acceptable and if you are an Argentine football follower you will 100% understand.when sabella said "im aiming for the semi" he was trying to take pressure of the team, take away the favorites tag that is a curse for many teams over the years. guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 7:27 PM 0 Sabella will announce this tuesday guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 7:25 PM 0 First we have to reach semifinal then it will be easier to reach the final and probably win it Dfox (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 7:24 PM 0 When will Sabella announce the roster? guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 7:23 PM 0 @sula v I know bro but we haven't even reached semifinal since 1990 so it will achievement as far as I am concerned SulaV (Canada) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 7:05 PM 0 Willy always steps up against big teams!! sabella i beg of you please select willy in your 30 man squad... he will most likely win you over!@guledsemifinal????? if we dont win the cup its failure.. plain and simple!!! we are Argentina not some darkhorse my friend!! guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 6:42 PM 0 If sabella manages semifinal place , I think he will be success pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 6:24 PM 0 Agr1985: it does not matter what sabella does and as with past managers the only pass mark that can be given is if he wins the world cup.any thing else is a fail and that is the nature of the world cup as its win it all or nothing matters. Agr1985 (Trinidad And Tobago) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 6:08 PM 0 People should give sabella some respect for what he has done before he came in messi was a shadow and we had no style of play we have come a long way. I terms of messi he looks good to me while barca on the whole has been so tata is a total waste tatically he is so poor he has played vs packed defences whole season and has offered the team no options just crossing to no one in particular which make messi play like a centre forward not utlizing his strenghts with argentina messi uses all his abilities which you will see in the world cup barca is not perfect but tata has made them worse don't expect them to beat atleti either because tata will provide the team with no options just depending on individuals. Argentina will at least be in the semis. Dinucci (Argentina) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 5:14 PM 0 Everywhere i look there is so much hate towards argentina i hope our team can shut these people up. guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 5:08 PM 0 One of sabella favorites augusto fernandez is injured he might have serious injury ,alejandro sabella is worried man guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 5:02 PM 0 Messi will play better then any player at the World Cup , but one player can't win all by him self we need others to step up joy (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 4:55 PM 0 @mmh007: No, I don't care for Barca at all. I didn't said Messi was mediocre!! I said he was best player for barca today, but might not excellent.I'm not concerned that he has lost his usual form this season. I'm concerned if he would be able to re-gather himself coming worldcup and there is nothing wrong with this. Even many of the best football minds of the world are concerned if he can win this for Argentina this time. Like best students are more concerned for result than others. All I saw it was an important match today. Messi tried but he couldn't deliver as much as he wanted. Well, I take this for La Liga, but I won't take this for World Cup. Some are sure that he will rise to the occassion, I'm fine with that. I too believe that but with little concern considering he had a tough season.Being excellent may not be enough for Argentina, he has to be beyond that. guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 4:40 PM 0 I think the problem is the afa meddling in the selection process , there is too many corruption and favoritism , if argentina would have picked the right players we would have won the cup long time ago Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 4:32 PM 0 May be... Can't say now... If look like 2010 germany repeat 'll stop watching... Dnt wish to see those more... mmh007 (Argentina) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 4:04 PM 0 JOY it's time to do for Argentina not anymore Barca. Why do you care he didn't do anything for Barca and calling Messi medicore is a utter sin Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 4:01 PM 0 Its better to do atleast a month before than regreting after the tournament... Gino (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 4:01 PM 0 I know that wanting Caballero on this team is futile...But I hope that if Sabella is replaced, the next manager in charge will take him, hopefully it will be Simeone. I understand that Tevez has locker room issues, though he is a better player than Palacio and Lavezzi put together, but Caballero is a quality leader off the pitch and on and we could drastically upgrade our squad. mmh007 (Argentina) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 4:00 PM 0 Well Pradi I guess you won't able to watch any of Arge game because unfortunately Willy not gonna play and we have to deffend without him buddy joy (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:57 PM 0 @Juanma: By no means Messi was mediocre. He was very good, if not excellent.But yes, sometimes I expect him to do something on his own, to step up while the whole team is not functioning, especially in a crucial match like this. That special thing makes one one of the best ever. But, yeah, I know I'am over expecting because he's been through lots of things both on and off the field this season. But when it comes to a crucial world cup match, I expect him to do something even if the whole team do not function well. Because he is Messi. Because he isn't CR, nor Suarez nor others, because i think he's best ever. And we call someone one of the best ever who can perform against the wind and when it needed most. Dfox (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:57 PM 0 Why do we have to torture ourselves?Sabella wont go for Willy now, he didn't before and he wont now with less than a month to go Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:55 PM 0 Augusto had a decent game but got injured n stretched off... Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:53 PM 0 The most important thing is willy outshined today de best goal keeper in de world at present form... The fact is last 2 world cups are won by the greatest goal keepers of this generation... Gino (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:53 PM 0 Caballero needs to be in this team!!!...This is insane that Sabella won't take him. Especially that last save was world class, awesome performance.... Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:45 PM 0 English praising speroni...Espanians praising willy...Frenchmen not even seeing romero...Sabella chosen romero n saying the only thing he can do is close his eyes when oppossition do counter attack... Pathetic... Dfox (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:40 PM 0 I WISH HE DIDN'T Boudou (Lebanon) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:38 PM 0 Messi must return the favor to caballero and give sabella a call asking to include him in the NT...:))). Aftet all willy saved them from loosing the liga :)) Dfox (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:37 PM 0 Welcome Juanma, people who he say has been mediocre or lost his touch or whatever can go......... fill in the blanks.Messi finally figured that he doesn't need to sacrifice for a team that forgot what he has done for them.Who gives a damn about La Liga when the WORLDF CUP is less than a month away and we need our best player unharmed?What I was afraid of happened, now he is forced to play in a must win game against the dreaded AM. Ari (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:36 PM 0 Willy Caballero was the best player today. Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:33 PM 0 I hav no worries about messi... In open spaces he is holding de ball and is dribbling well and is looking for key passes... What he is not doing now is his trade mark runs into the box when team needed a break through... His approach at crowded area clearly tells that he is worried of nasty challenges... Let this season go like this, barca can come back next season... joy (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:32 PM 0 After Athletico match commentetor said, "And Willy, you know, can play any team in the world." He forgot to say, "except Argentina."Messi tried and still played very well,perhaps best player on the pitch for Barca but looks like lost his those magic, winning a game single handedly on his own. At some point I subconsciously wanted Iniesta to see more of the ball and relied upon him more to do something out of the box. I have no doubt Messi will play better for Argentina but I start doubting whether he can pull those magic like a best ever footballer which can be needed at some stage of WC. He looks like a very, very good player but no way best ever. We know all about his injuries and he should've got bact his rythm by now but clearly he hasn't. Hope this loss is not something permanent.Barcelona made Messi look worse? or Messi made Barcelona look worse this season? Two equally goodquestion to ask and I think answar is, both.If anyone say I should add Fabregas to the list, I won't argue either. Juanma (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:27 PM 1 First time posting here, I'm shocked to read some supposed "fans" calling Messi mediocre. It's so obvious that Barcelona as a team has been figured out, they cannot create a decent chance for Leo against teams that drop numbers behind the ball. You can't expect Messi to take the ball and dribble the whole team, he needs service, like any other striker. Tata has restricted Messi, he doesn't have the freedom to drop deep, he has to wait for the final pass to come, and Barcelona struggles to create it. Messidependencia Batigol9 (Estonia) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:17 PM 0 check this out, sabella https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THCRxQRd0LQ el principe (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:17 PM 0 Tata Martino should have trusted Tello. Tello is a decent player. When I saw him for the first time 2-3 years ago, I thought he was the next Di Maria. Tello's dribbling and speed will give Barca different option.Pep is the only coach who knows that Tello is a young underrated special player. Even Tito did not really use him, just Pep.If Tata know that the trio of Pedro-Messi-Alexis did not work out, he must do something instead of stick with it. It's been like 5 games in a row where the trio looked horrible.The lucky thing is Atletico failed to win. So Barca will still need to beat them in the final match. It will be the second chance for Barca after failing to beat them at home in CL.I think we'd see park the bus Atletico again next week.Btw guys, 24 - 48 hours from now is the deadline of the list of 30! El Payaso (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:13 PM 0 Its sad that CAballero cant make it in the team..very sad Batigol9 (Estonia) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:07 PM 0 yes, willy is TOP5 or maybe even TOP3 goalkeeper in the world now. I think guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:06 PM 0 @batigol the whole team was mediocre , messi tried but there was no body to help him guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:05 PM 1 willy saved Barcelona,wish he could do that for argentina,grande willy arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:03 PM 0 haha tata :( Batigol9 (Estonia) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:03 PM 0 @guledbut he mas mediocre for his standards. Nothing special Dinucci (Argentina) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:03 PM 0 So happy city are champions. At this point la liga is pointless to me i just hope our players are healthy for the wc. Congrats athletico Julker9 (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:58 PM 0 An interesting article from Marca. "England need a Messi" An interesting song centred around LeoMessi has been released in the UK. Thesong speaks about the theory of whatwould happen at the coming World Cup ifLeo played for England. "We'll give youLas Malvinas, and Thatcher's body too,just give us the Messi-ah, and maybe KunAgüero too".We've got Stevie G, Jackie Wilshie, andthankfully, no JT, Wayne Rooney and twoDannys, but what we need is one Messi.We've got Cahill, Carrick, Bainsey, RossBarkley and Frank Lampey Sterling,Smalling, wait and see, but what we needis one Messi", the song goes. In the lastverse, the song criticises the Englandmanager: "If Messi was an Englishman,and Hodgson was an Argentine!!!"I loughed a lot after read this article. England has no believe on themsef!? LOL :) guled (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:58 PM 0 i don,t know what game you watched but messi was far from mediocre, he was Barcelona best player today Batigol9 (Estonia) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:55 PM 0 The truth is, that we have said for months, that dont worry about Messi, he is holding himself for WC and blablabla. But the truth is, I am a little worried. Today was crucial game and against ELCHE, and Messi once again was just mediecore... argentuban (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:52 PM 0 Absolute shit performance by Barcelona. Undeservedly still in the title race. But they must win. Atletico will just park the bus and wait. A draw wins them the league, so they don't care.No trophies this year for Barcelona. argentuban (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:30 PM 0 Well that's pretty much it I think for Barcelona. Assist Sosa. Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:23 PM 0 Augusto injured n stretched off the ground... argentuban (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:06 PM 0 Barcelona are going to waste this opportunity it looks like. Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 1:38 PM 0 Zaba need some rest.... Aguero need to make him fully fit... Sabellista (Namibia) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 1:20 PM 0 I'm not a City fan, That light blue & white Man City celebration got me thinking like "these are the same colors we're going to see if we win the WC". Aguero needs a 2 week rest. Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 12:51 PM 0 Thats a tough one, he didnt see the ball arriving, it came through the legs of 2 or 3 dfndrs in quick pace... Johnny (Thailand) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 12:47 PM 0 Congrats City ! Zabba and KUN through uninjured. KUN is clearly not in form at the moment and let's hope he gets there WC time. baker (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 12:43 PM 0 congrats kun and zab , even though kun missed a sitter , he was very much eager to get in to score sheet , dont worry you can finish your goal quest in WC.. theAbNormalOne (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 12:39 PM 0 I always thought about a image in which Zanetti was holding a worldcup. It was even in my mind on 2013. Really would have liked that.It would have been a farewell to Zanetti and whole football world. Regarding City win. Its a normal thing for me and I hope Pellegrini continue as coach since it will merit Argentina a lot(Argentina favouritism of Pellegrini). @el.Principe: Pochettino would be a fantastic coach for Tottenham(Lamela).And also he have proved already that he can work within a system that every player performs better.And he have a high tempo attacking football. Deb (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 12:24 PM 0 Welcome, Zabaleta and Aguero. Congrats for the title. Now just relax for a week and wait for the others to arrive. Take care of your muscles. Diego-maniac (Lebanon) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 12:21 PM 1 Aguero nd Zabman the first 2 toGo safely to the World Cup :) The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 12:05 PM 0 Congratulations to Man City.. they fought with all their might and they have won it again after 2012... Aguero wasn't at his fearsome best this season but others covered up for him..Yes city played attractive counter attacking football but as long as Barcelona is in my DNA,, i can never truly love that type of football.. but i do agree that barca's style has become outdated and this dynamic way is the new trend.. but when it comes PURE footballing artistry,, nobody i mean NOBODY comes even close barca 2009-11(except brazil 1982 maybe)..I so dearly hope that barca will retain their title... Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 11:03 AM 0 I feel by far way city play de best football in europe... Very attractive n a total package... Creating opportunities by counter attack, wing plays, lightning attacks thru centre nd in walking pace jst like a training ground game is just lovely... Becoming a great fan of pellegrini... Anthr thing is we spoke so much about simeone, bt pochettino is some one who we r ignoring, he is really amazing, imo most suitable for our NT... Amlan (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 9:58 AM 0 Win, score and don't get injured. That's what we want from you Kun....

Why not albiol play those useless game Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 9:26 AM 0 kun starts.....o_O outlaw (Poland) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 9:14 AM 0 La Bruja also retired. Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 9:07 AM 0 My script... City will b up for 2-0 by half time itself, 1 assist by zaba... Aguero come on for a last 15 or 20 mins n score an individual brilliance to make it 3-0... The best preparation before the biggest stage... Deb (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 8:42 AM 0 Just hope Man City score 1 or 2 goals within the first few minutes of the match. We don't want Aguero pushing himself a lot today. Let him come out clean.Last day of the league. Pradi (India) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 8:03 AM 0 Speroni made 2nd most saves in epl this season, 116...

Mr. Perfect... Great player, great human, pure football genius, 99% he will be a great manager... Really looking forward for his career as a coach... If barcelona was the same as of 5 or 6 years before will b already looking for him... Bt i feel inter r genius, will hold him for sure giving some position at club and will appoint as coach in short future, when will b the only question... Trini Pupi (Trinidad And Tobago) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 3:18 AM 0 my entire style of play was based on this guy and how he carried about himself. He was a role model for me in a country where their are not much role models out there.I became captain of all the teams i played for and now as a coach....every time i would think about slipping i would think....Javier Zanetti would never do that!When he was omitted from the Argentina squad those two world cups my heart was broken....up until this day no proper tactical explanation was given by either coach both had some superstitious BS and i hate that we were robbed of seeing this guy on the world stage:( great player...for me my best player ever ..(For me) el principe (United States) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 2:20 AM 0 It is just a matter of time before Javier Zanetti becomes Inter coach. Zanetti looked like the Inter manager yesterday. bush (South Africa) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 1:20 AM 0 Anyone who watched Romero for Monaco yeesterday how did he perform? bush (South Africa) Posted on 5/11/2014 at 1:19 AM 0 Anyone who watched Romero for Monaco yeesterday how did he performed? sandy (India) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 11:48 PM 0 He is the best Right Back I have ever seen. He was the most complete Right Back I have seen. He was the one player who has never frustrated me. He was one of the players whom I was always proud of for his being an Argentine. He was the most important player Argentina had after Maradona. I don't think that I can see a player like him again. The saddest part of the story is that he would have been a World Cup legend (though he may already be one) like Pele and Maradona, had he been selected to the NT in 2006, and 2010 World Cups when he was at the peak of his career. Thanks to our criminal minded coaches! Just like he saluted his inter fans, he will be saluting his Argentine fans saying: "Thanks to you all, I will always love my Argentina, despite whatever it had done to me".I can't talk about him without getting emotional.Salutes to the great master! JZ4ever (Argentina) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 9:55 PM 1 My favourite player in the history of the game.Became an Inter fan because of him (as well as Milito's notorious goalscoring exploits).It's actually shameful that he was omitted from the WC squads in 2006 and 2010. Can't believe Otamendi started over him under Maradona at South Africa.He deserves to be in the company of players like Pele, Rivera, Zoff, Maldini, Cafu, Ronaldo, Cannavaro, Buffon etc who have played in 4 world cups. Easily one of, if not the greatest RB in the history of the game, let alone in the history of the Albiceleste.Some River fans even have the nerve to say that Hernan Diaz was better than him, which is absolutely ludicrous imo. Messi4Ever (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 6:23 PM 2 Icon of Football, Legend of Inter, But we don't give hime opportunity to be a Legend of albiceleste.. #Shame guled (United States) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 6:14 PM 0 The best fullback I have ever seen , tons of energy and skill never stops , foolish coaches didn't pick him for the last two world cups Toby (United Kingdom) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 6:13 PM 0 One of the game's true gentleman. And one heck of a player.It still saddens me that he missed out the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. After all that he gave to the national team, he deserved far better than that.But now is a time for only positive thoughts.Gracias El Pupi! We will always love you x Deb (India) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 6:09 PM 0 End of an era. Stay happy, Zanetti. The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 6:00 PM 0 the greatest defender i have seen in my life.. it is a huge shame that he wasn't picked in 2006 and 10 WC.. for that grave mistake,, argentina was humiliated..TONS OF RESPECT FOR EL PUPI pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 5:46 PM 0 one of the most respected players of all time and a very respected human being.he will be missed on the field of play-a lot. Sol (United States) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 5:35 PM 0 Its like saying goodbye to an old friend. I hate goodbyes..A great sportsman and ambassador. haman (Bahrain) Posted on 5/10/2014 at 5:29 PM 0 A living legend!

Firefighters remain at Monday's waste fire (From This Is Wiltshire)
Firefighters remain at Monday's waste fire
2:02pm Wednesday 23rd July 2014 in
WILTSHIRE Fire & Rescue Service is maintaining a presence at the site of a significant waste fire in Swindon.
Firefighters have been at Averies Recycling in Marshgate since Monday evening, when fire broke out in a stack containing 1,000 tonnes of general waste and building waste.
There have been two fire crews at the site since yesterday evening, and efforts are continuing to suppress the fire and protect neighbouring buildings. Efforts are being made to reduce the amount of waste on site, so that the burning rubbish can be excavated and extinguished, but it is expected that the fire will continue to burn for several days at least.
Air quality monitoring in the immediate vicinity of the fire has been running since yesterday morning, and readings continue to show that the smoke is not impacting on public health.
Public Health England and the Environment Agency, who have been monitoring air quality, said: "There have been a number of large scale mixed waste fires during recent months which have led to Air Quality Cells being established because of the duration and potential public health impact of the fire. The monitoring near Averies shows brief spikes in levels of particulate matter but, overall, levels are below the point at which they may impact public health.
"Our analysis of other pollutants has not identified any potential for an impact on public health. We continue to advise that people in the affected areas should minimise their exposure to the smoke where possible."
The Fire & Rescue Service is working with Local Resilience Forum partners, including Swindon Borough Council, Public Health England, NHS England and Wiltshire Police, to ensure public safety and discussions continue about the best way to bring the incident to a swift conclusion.
Smoke is still rising from the site and local people are advised to keep doors and windows closed if they are concerned about the plume, especially if they have a pre-existing respiratory condition. Anyone who thinks their health is being affected should contact their GP or call 111.

We recycle all and in order to do that it needs to be sorted carefully as we operate a 100% diversion from landfill. How is this environmentally detrimental? The dust pollution was for something that happened over 4 1/2 years ago! We operate a slick operation and all of our yards comply which cannot be said for most waste management companies in Swindon. Yes we have got it wrong in the past but people learn and improve. Swindon adver have given a bad representation of averies and it is frustrating to the people who work at averies who know the REAL facts and is equally frustrating reading narrow minded comments from people who know little about the waste management industry. We understand the frustration regarding the impact the smoke has on surrounding homes and businesses however this is an unfortunate accident which could of happened to anyone! The fire team tested the air quality and it has been said it will have no impact to health! Unbelievable......
This is yet further poor management of waste by Averies costing the community a fortune in Fire cover and the air pollution. This company was fined £73k for dust pollution last Autumn.

The fire service are working closely with the Environmental Agency to monitor potential health issues and currently, the levels of pollution are negligible.
This fire is expected to burn for a few more days, however, it is under control and any effects to the general public are miniscule.

Becki welcome to our world where a suppressed and politically biased media feed the local trolls with unsubstantiated drivel. No matter how much you justify or substantiate your views, sadly you have been pipped to the post by our politically regulated and performance related media.

Is the Environment Agency measuring dioxin levels? That is what I'd be interested.
(for people less familiar with waste combustion: dioxin emissions are a particularly serious problem when temperatures in the fire are low, as when a pile of rubbish burns slowly. This is why incineration normally requires that high temperatures are reached. What is going on seems a perfect case for dioxin emissions)

News Scan: Starbucks puts mobile payment at center of app; US mobile data service revenue to top $100B; more
>> Starbucks puts mobile payment at center of mobile app revamp
Starbucks is revamping its mobile app by putting mobile payments front and center, according to a report by Mobile Commerce Daily. The coffee firm is adding two new features to its iPhone app next week--a digital tipping function and a shake-to-pay option. "By implementing shake-to-pay, Starbucks has made it easy for their app to be top of phone. According to Carlisle & Gallagher's mobile wallet research, payment choice and real-time incentives rank in the top three desired features and functionalities consumers would prefer in their mobile wallet," says Peter Olynick, lead for card and payment practice at Carlisle & Gallagher Consulting Group.

Darryl Ponicsan's quest to ban gas-powered leaf blowers in the city of Sonoma could form the plot of one of his Hollywood screenplays.
The pitch goes like this: An accomplished writer working at his home in a leafy neighborhood a few blocks from Sonoma's Plaza is interrupted frequently by a leaf blower's tell-tale roar. The writer confronts gardeners with a sound meter, calls police and in exasperation airs his grievances for months at City Council meetings, including one in which he confesses that he has had to flee downtown to one of the city's wine salons to escape the maddening noise.
"So you can say this is driving me to drink," the writer tells city leaders.
Surprisingly, a majority on the City Council, which two years ago rejected calls for a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers, buys it this time around. Following a Sept. 3 public hearing, during which 19 people spoke in favor of the ban — including one woman who had a small dog perched on her shoulder — the council orders an ordinance that would make the city of 10,000 the first in Sonoma County, and one of the very few in the nation, to ban gas-powered blowers.
The move would represent a happy ending for Ponicsan, 75, whose screenplay credits include "The Last Detail," "Vision Quest" and "Nuts." He also is the author of a series of crime novels featuring a 50-year-old woman suffering through menopause.
Ponicsan said in an interview from his France Street home this week that the noise from leaf blowers is so distracting that he sometimes talks on the phone with one finger in his ear. He said he's gathered more than 300 signatures in support of a ban, mostly from people in attendance at the city's Tuesday night farmer's markets, where Ponicsan has manned a booth.
"I don't have any organization. It's just me and whoever shows up," he said. That included, at the Sept. 3 City Council meeting, his wife, Cecilia, who recounted the horror of "mothers trying to outrun clouds of dust" kicked up by leaf blowers.
Sonoma's draft ordinance returns to the City Council Oct. 7 for a first reading. Such efforts have had mixed results in California, where roughly 25 cities, almost all of them in relatively affluent areas, have bans on gas-powered leaf blowers. The city of Carmel was the first in 1975, followed by Beverly Hills in 1978. Berkeley's ban took effect in 1991.
Sebastopol city leaders voted to draft an ordinance in March 2011, but then backed away from a ban amid a public outcry over the decision. The city subsequently enacted a noise ordinance that prohibits sounds above 55 decibels as measured from a person's property line. Sonoma currently caps noise from gas leaf blowers at 70 decibels.
Questions inevitably arise over how to enforce such restrictions. Sonoma relies on the city's police force to respond to complaints; other cities make use of a code enforcement division or other city department.
Ponicsan, who has an artist's studio on First Street East, said a Sonoma police officer a few weeks ago responded to his complaint about a leaf blower being used at the Little League field across the street. Using a sound meter, the officer determined the noise exceeded the city's ordinance and told the leaf blower's operator to shut it down, according to Ponicsan.

OK. So the cute, surprised kitten was chased away yesterday. Here for a recounting of that event are my good friends, Matt and Ben.
Lion Face: DeJuan Blair
I don't know if you've heard but DeJuan Blair is ACL-less. He has no Anterior Cruciate Ligaments in his knees. Also, Kobe Bryant grew up in Italy and Matt Harpring comes from a football background and a football family. In case you didn't remember those three facts, repeat them another 300 times so you can feel like you're living in an NBA broadcast. And get used to the Blair-no ACLs talk. He's just a rookie and will be around for a decade and then some. Even without ligaments, he was still able to dominate tonight off the bench. He was one of the few reasons the Spurs were able to keep this one as close as they did. 18 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. He outworked Rasheed Wallace in the post and made him look really old a few times. All of this from a 6'4â€, knee-less power forward? That's pretty damn special.
Lemon Face: DeJuan Blair's tip
OK, not everything was roses for Blair last night.
Lion Face: Manu's Layup
It seems like he's good for one of these a game and every time he pulls one of these off, you remember just how incredible a healthy Manu Ginobili is. In fact, when he's 100% healthy, I'll go so far as to call him a Top-15 guy – maybe even Top-10 on a good day.
Lemon Face: Richard Jefferson
I think we can officially write off the career of Richard Jefferson. He was along for the Jason Kidd ride for a few good years and it even got him to an All-Star game or two (he was never an All-Star). He topped 10,000 points in his career and is only 29 years old. He should be in the prime of his career and yet, it feels like he's on his way out. The only way we can revive his career is with the Spurs getting their stuff together, running off a couple of good months and being so executionary (made it up) that they spread the floor and allow him five or six easy baskets per game in the playoffs. Then he might seem like he's still worth mentioning in the NBA. Or teaming up with a guy like Chris Paul. That could work too. If neither of those things happen, I'll be the first to say, "it's been nice knowing you, RJ.â€
Oh god…I nearly forgot about that HORRIBLE "RJ†tattoo:
Lion Face: Rajon Rondo
In case you didn't remember, Rajon Rondo is 23 years old. He'll be 24 in February. Think about that for a second. OK, now stop thinking about it and hum the theme to Growing Pains for a bit. Now go back to thinking about how young Rajon Rondo is. He's arguably the best defensive point guard in the NBA, right? At the age of 23? Think about how difficult it is going to be to score against him when he's 27. You can say that he can't shoot. And you can say that he isn't a good enough scorer to be considered elite. Or go ahead and talk about how he wouldn't be this good without his Boston teammates around him. But none of that matters because he's basically Agent Smith in Matrix. He can bend the laws of physics to be quicker than you. Maybe someone will come along someday that proves to be his Neo but until that happens, he'll just be wrecking shop in the NBA and shutting every point guard down who is arrogant enough to think they can score on him. He's insane.
Lemon Face: Confusing Spurs Efforts
The score of this Spurs game was pretty confusing. It never felt like they were in this game. The Celtics pretty much made runs when they had to and got whatever stops they needed to be comfortable with their lead. The things that kept them out of this game were turnovers and free throws. They missed ten free throws on the night (only attempted 17? Yikes) and they turned the ball over 19 times. Tim Duncan accounted for six of those turnovers, which makes me die a little inside. (Reggie Miller stated in the telecast that you don't need to double team Timmy anymore. This is not a world I'm comfortable in). The thing that kept them in this game was rebounding. They won the rebounding edge (gap) 55-32. Hell, they had 20 offensive rebounds to Boston's two. And yet, they were never really in this game. How does that happen? I need the rodeo trip to come sooner than later so we can see that they're going to be relatively all right.
Lion Face: Once again, the Birdman
To quote the animal sounds of one, Corndogg (ahem *clears throat*): CACACWCAW!!!!
Lemon Face: Dwyane Wade's Happiness
Are we sure Dwyane Wade is happy in Miami? I'm sure he's sad because the team really isn't that good. It's nice that Jermaine O'Neal is "in the best shape of his career†(contract year) and I'm glad that Quentin Richardson lost all of that weight. But ultimately, this is a bad team with not a lot of talent. They have role players but not really role players that make you warm and fuzzy. They're certainly not the Rockets. But watching Wade on the court, he certainly doesn't seem happy that he has to play with this roster and trust his teammates to do positive things consistently.
Lion Face: Kyle Lowry
I honestly believe that this block you're about to see saved the game for the Houston Rockets. Sure, there were still like five minutes to go and a whole lot of game left but this was a huge momentum swing in the favor of Houston that helped them go on a 10-0 run after this block (12-0 overall) to take what could have turned into a blowout and became a tough road victory. Overall, he was a game changer once again with a +16, 11 points, four assists, three rebounds, and one steal. Not to mention: One. Big. Block.
And are we sure he isn't the outcome of a Li'l Kim-Bonzi Wells one-night stand?
Lemon Face: Don Nelson
The crunch time lineup for most of the fourth quarter for the Warriors was C.J. Watson, Stephen Curry, Monta Ellis, Anthony Morrow and Corey Maggette. Before you start with the "was he drinking?†jokes, let me add this:
Vlad Radmanovic had his best game in years with 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists. After the end of the third quarter, his totals were 20 points, seven rebounds and six assists. He didn't have foul trouble. He didn't look winded. And yet, Nellie sat him for the first nine minutes of the fourth quarter as the 38-point third quarter momentum for the Warriors dissipated into a loss. Nellie's back and he's ready to coach!
Lion Face: Vlad Radmanovic
Hey, speaking of Vlad Radmanovic, how about that fantastic performance from him? He scored 11 of his 20 points in the third quarter and had five assists in the period too. He accounted for 22 of the Warriors 38 points in the third. Enjoy probably one of the rarest things on this planet. No, it's not a unicorn. It's a Vlad Rad highlight package!
Lemon Face: Monta Ellis
How do you forget to dribble on the last possession of the game when your team has stupidly dubbed you a franchise player and given you the keys to this crazy train? I mean, he FORGOT to DRIBBLE. It's the most basic basketball instinct to have. It's like forgetting to breathe. And yet, he managed to do it. Plus, he made Warriors' color commentator Jim Barnett make this face:
Not to mention he had the most improbable basketball statistical night you can ever imagine: 24 points on 27 shots, eight assists, six boards, nine turnovers, blocked seven times and five fouls. He actually invented the 6×5 tonight. And it's not the 6×5 you'd want.
Lion Face: The Houston Rockets
I'm digging this Houston Rockets team. The more I watch them, the more I buy into the hype of how they intangibly are fun to watch. They had seven guys in double figures and you can't really point to one or even two guys and say, "yep, that's the reason they won.†They're like the best recreational league team you could ever want to see play (well, almost).
I really would like to nominate the entire Houston Rockets team for Most Improved Player award. They all deserve it and a night like this one shows why. Shane Battier had six blocks and 10 boards. Trevor Ariza had 18 points, three steals and two blocks. Landry had 22 and nine off the bench. Luis Scola was a 12 and 13 guy tonight and even Chase Budinger (skinny, athletic Brian Scalabrine) had 11 points in 16 minutes. They're amazing!

Poor Man's Pecan Pie Recipe
THIS IS a recipe my mother-in-law shared with me several years ago. It's easy to make, and most of the ingredients are in everybody's cupboard. And it does really taste like pecan pie. We have it quite often, but it's tradition to have this pie on the menu during the holidays. -Fay Harrington, Seneca, Missouri
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
- Whipped topping and toasted coconut, optional
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Pour into pastry shell.
- 2. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack. Garnish with whipped topping and toasted coconut if desired. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Game Update 13 DCUO
DCUO recently release Game update, and one of the most exciting things (at least for me) has to be the token of merit and the return of the spring seasonal event. The token of merits rewards your hard work for collecting tokens, it adds feats by consuming the new token of merits. Its a great way to add to your skill points and if your close to hit that next skill point this is a great way to reach it. This is great and gives another reason to revisit alerts and keep grinding for marks. Also the seed pods are back and for the lower CR players the trinket is a must have for the feat and the great trinket, in my opinion it is second best to the Central City Trinket. Happy Spring guys!!!
Spring Seasonal Event!
The Spring Seasonal Event has returned! Poison Ivy is wreaking havoc with the people of Gotham's allergies and it's only getting worse. Luckily for the innocents, Swamp Thing is calling for help in thwarting Poison Ivy's plans. Relive the events from last year or, if you missed them, don't miss them again!
New Tokens of Merit!
You've worked hard, and it's time you got credit! You can now turn your unused and excess Marks into Feats, and watch your Feat and Skill Points shoot up! Tokens of Merit vendors are now available and can be found in the Watchtower War Room and the Hall of Doom Pit areas. Tokens of Merit can be purchased using all existing PvE, PvP, and Seasonal currencies. These can be consumed and used for new Tokens of Merit feats!

Green Lantern Movie Sypnopis
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
DC COMICS Hit's the RESET Button
Today, DC Comics dropped a huge bomb on DC comic fans. starting this august DC Comics will hit the reset button and start all 52 titles all with a fresh new issue 1 numbering. so what this means is that 75 years of comics will be reset to issue 1, and this could be great if you are new to comics but for ol'school comic fans this is not sitting well with them.
First off this comes off as a gimmick and a quick media attention move to try something new, however this may bring in new readers and collectors which is good for the comic book industry but come issue 12 those new readers might leave just like they have shown for a 12 issue first runs. then you still have the hardcore comic book buyers who where there through issue 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and are still there for this revamp of issue 1 hoopla.
For me i don't know what to think, i know getting this media attention is good like when superman died and brought a lot of fans but they left soon after his death and were not here for his rebirth. is this a moment like that? a part of me is angry and a part of me is excited, but there is no doubt I'm a 100% DC fanboy and will be here till i take my last breath. i just hope this turns out great for DC and it's editors for making this bold move.
here is the official press release-
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
By David Hyde
This year, change is in the air at DC Comics.
On Wednesday, August 31st, DC Comics will launch a historic renumbering of the entire DC Universe line of comic books with 52 first issues, including the release of JUSTICE LEAGUE by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and bestselling artist and DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee. The publication of JUSTICE LEAGUE issue 1 will launch day-and-date digital publishing for all these ongoing titles, making DC Comics the first of the two major American publishers to release all of its superhero comic book titles digitally the same day as in print.
DC Comics will only publish two comic books on August 31st: the final issue of this summer's comic book mini-series FLASHPOINT and the first issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE by Johns and Lee, two of the most distinguished and popular contemporary comic book creators, who will be collaborating for the first time. Together they will offer a contemporary take on the origin of the comic book industry's premier superhero team.
In the hours, days and weeks to come, we'll have more news about the other titles. Tomorrow, we'll hear from Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee about this momentous occasion. Keep checking THE SOURCE for updates about the other first issues.
New DCUO Raid Area……….?
Tonight DCUO's New Game Director Mark Anderson showed us a glimpse of a new area and possible a new raid area, it's superman's home away from home. Fortress of Solitude!!!
This is a very nice DLC that looks to be coming in update 3. here is a history of the Fortress of Solitude-
The Fortress of Solitude is the occasional headquarters of Superman in DC Comics.[1] Its predecessor, Superman's "Secret Citadel", first appeared in Superman #17, where it was said to be built into a mountain on the outskirts of Metropolis. However, the formal introduction of the Fortress took place in the story "The Super-Key to Fort Superman", published in Action Comics #241 (June 1958).
Traditionally, the Fortress of Solitude is located in the Arctic,[1] though more recent versions of the Superman comics have placed the Fortress in other locations, including the Antarctic, the Andes and the Amazon rainforest. The general public in Superman's world is either unaware or at best only vaguely aware of the existence of the Fortress, with its location kept secret from all but Superman's closest friends and allies (such as Lois Lane and Batman). A trademark of the Fortress is that it contains a memorial statue of Jor-El and Lara, Superman's Kryptonian parents, holding a large globe of Krypton. Although Superman has living quarters at the Fortress, his main residence is still Clark Kent's apartment in Metropolis.
Check back for more details from tonight's event.

I lust for the day when the Cleveland Browns draft rumors won't involve first round quarterbacks. In order for that to be the case, the Browns will have to find one, probably in the first round. So, the only question is where in the first round? As the Browns are set to host Carr in Cleveland this week, Pro Football Talk suggests maybe Ray Farmer and the Browns could take a page out of the Ravens' book.
They could trade down from No. 4 and draft Carr in the teens, like the Ravens did when acquiring Joe Flacco six years ago. This would give the Browns an extra pick or two as the latest new coaching staff tries to put together a team that fits the new schemes and systems.
One of my biggest complaints about the Browns — as I've stated time and again — is that under Mike Holmgren, they seemed to constantly lose the "poker game" aspects of the NFL draft. The Browns went and got guys they wanted, which is good, but they seemed to pay steep prices. I'm really hoping that the Browns stop losing the poker game under Ray Farmer.
Maybe that includes confidently trading down, gaining more assets and still getting a player they covet. Now, whether or not they should be coveting Derek Carr is another conversation…

Good old competition keeps gas prices bobbing up and down, experts say
It's not the bad old days of June, when the price of a gallon of gas in Elkhart went as high as $4.29.
Still, the current average in the South Bend area, about $3.63, exceeds the state average and the price per gallon in the Evansville, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis areas, according to GasBuddy.com. Per GasBuddy.com, Elkhart, Goshen and other north central Indiana communities are considered part of the South Bend area.
It's got some wondering why prices are higher here and experts explaining the difference as chiefly a reflection of market forces and competition.
Indiana gas retailers get their fuel mainly from the same terminals around the state which, by and large, don't offer wide fluctuations in wholesale prices, according to Scott Imus, executive director of the Indiana Petroleum Market and Convenience Store Association, a trade group. The difference comes when individual gas stations start competing with one another, raising or lowering prices to stay competitive.
Individual gas station operators aren't necessarily cognizant of what's happening, say, 50 miles away, according to Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. Rather, price fluctuations at the pump are more a reflection of what's happening at the competing station across the street or up the road. Operators keep close tabs on competitors and adjust their prices accordingly, even temporarily pricing gas below its actual cost at times.
"And that decision is made every day at every location," said Angelia Graves a spokesman for Marathon Oil in Findlay, Ohio, which is the parent company of convenience store and gas station chain Speedway.
That said, a gas station may buy gas at a particularly low wholesale price one week, lower than what a competitor gets next week. Those particulars in pricing points are usually secondary, though, to head-to-head competition.
The current $3.63 average in the South Bend area compares to $3.41 in Fort Wayne, $3.45 in Indianapolis, $3.57 in Evansville and $3.55 statewide, according to GasBuddy.com.
The average is nearly $3.75 in Gary in Lake County, but northwest Indiana is a particular case. Prices there are the highest, reflecting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requirements that Lake County use a cleaner burning blend of gasoline to address environmental concerns in the Chicago area, Imus said.
While competition may be the key ingredient in local pricing, an Elkhart gas station operator says one of the big players here is Speedway. As it goes, so go others here, said Jhaman Pirthyani, owner of a BP gas station off Nappanee Street in Elkhart.
"It is the first to go up and down," said Pirthyani.
DeHaan said that's common — a leader, usually one with many outlets, setting the pace in individual markets.
Broader fluctuations over time are more reflective of oil prices on global markets, experts say. Problems and issues at refineries, too, can bump prices up.
After local prices reached $4.29 per gallon in early June, for instance, Purdue University economist Wally Tyuner cited issues at four refineries, all suppliers to local gas stations.

I decided to give Mississippi Atheists a bit of a makeover yesterday, nothing too drastic but hopefully something to improve our appearance and usability. It has been quite awhile since I looked at custom Blogger templates, and there are some good ones out there. Still, I found it surprisingly difficult to find one I liked that was geared toward text. There were many slick ones that would have been great for photoblogs, but that isn't us. I wanted something clean, simple, and easy to navigate.
I think we were due for a change since our last one was roughly two years ago and was never something I liked particularly well. I'll likely do a bit more tweaking to this template but only minor things at this point.
I also started a new About page. I'm not sure how I have neglected to create one after all these years, but we have the beginnings of one now. I'll expand it as I think of things to add. If you have ideas, please let me know.

"National honor is the national property of the highest value."
James Monroe was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia on April 28, 1758. He was the fifth president and known as the last "Founding Father" president.
His father died when he was 16, and he became responsible for his mother and siblings thereafter. In 1774, he enrolled at the College of William and Mary, but later left to fight in the Revolutionary War. From 1780 to 1783, he studied law under Thomas Jefferson.
After Virginia ratified the new Constitution in 1788, Monroe lost to James Madison for a seat in the first Congress. However, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1790. He resigned four years later when he was appointed Minister to France. Later, when he was again made a diplomat to France, he and Robert Livingston, the United States Minister to France, negotiated the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. That same year, Madison was appointed Minister to Great Britain, a position he held until 1807. During that time, he negotiated the Monroe-Pinkney Treaty with Britain; the goal of the treaty was to end Britain's impressment (forced recruitment) of American sailors into the Royal Navy, and to improve trade relations between the two nations (the treaty would have been a renewal of the Jay Treaty, which had expired). Jefferson's rejection of the treaty was one of the major
Monroe became James Madison's Secretary of State in April of 1811. Madison also appointed him Secretary of War in September 1814; thus, from October 1814 to February 28, 1815, Monroe held both cabinet posts. Afterwards, he resigned as Secretary of War and was formally reappointed Secretary of State.
On March 4, 1817, Monroe was inaugurated the fifth President of the United States. His administration was named the "'Era of Good Feelings" named for its relatively few national crises.
The First Seminole War occurred during his administration, as did the acquisition of the Floridas from Spain and the Missouri Compromise, by which the first conflict over slavery under the Constitution was peacefully settled.
During December of 1823, Monroe published the Monroe Doctrine, in which he asserted the autonomy of the United States and newly formed Latin American nations from further European interference and colonization.
After the end of his second term Monroe retired to his home at Oak Hill, Virginia. In 1826 he became a regent of the University of Virginia and in 1829 was a member of the convention called to amend the state constitution. Having neglected his private affairs and incurred large expenditures during his missions to Europe and his presidency, he was deeply in debt and felt compelled to ask Congress to reimburse him. In 1826 Congress finally authorized the payment to him of $30,000. Almost immediately, adding additional claims, he went back to Congress seeking more money. Congress paid him another $30,000 in 1831, but he still did not feel satisfied. After his death Congress appropriated a small amount for the purchase of his papers from his heirs. Monroe died in 1831—like Jefferson and Adams before him on the Fourth of July—in New York City at the home of his daughter, Maria, with whom he was living after the death of his wife the year before.
"The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil. "

The Rt. Rev. Rayford B. High, Jr.
The Rt. Rev. Rayford B. High, Jr., was elected and instituted as the third provisional of our diocese at the 30th Diocesan Convention in November, 2012. He retired as bishop suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas in the spring of 2012.
"I have a longer deeper connection with the diocese," he said. "I did my first year of college at TCU and went to Trinity as a person who grew up in Diocese of Texas and they embraced me. Their chaplain looked after me through Canterbury House. It was the beginning of a new spiritual level of growth for me."
Bishop High was former canon for pastoral ministries and the diocesan liaison to St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital when he was elected bishop suffragan June 7, 2003, at Christ Church Cathedral, Houston. He was consecrated October 4, 2003, at Camp Allen.
Formerly he oversaw congregations in the Northeast, San Jacinto and Southeast Convocations. This includes Beaumont, Jasper, Liberty, Orange, Port Arthur and Port Neches in addition to Silsbee and Woodville as well as the area of east Texas from Jefferson to Lufkin, Longview and Henderson areas. In addition to his Episcopal visitations Bishop High was executive for pastoral ministries, overseeing the pastoral care of clergy and their families as well as renewal and prison ministries.
Prior to becoming Canon for Pastoral Ministries, Bishop High served in parish ministry for 32 years, most recently as rector of St. Paul's, Waco. A native of Houston, Bishop High graduated from Bellaire High School; University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, and Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was elected to represent the diocese as a deputy at General Convention on eight occasions and was named Waco humanitarian of the year.
Bishop High is an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting and fishing. Indeed, he is so well known for this that when he retired, the Skeet Range at Camp Allen in the Diocese of Texas was renamed the Bishop High Skeet Range.
Bishop High's wife, Pat, died on March 4, 2015. They had been married for more than 50 years. They have three children and six grandchildren.
In addition to a home in Fort Worth, Bishop High has a "river house" in Brazoria on the San Bernard River. He continues to oversee the chaplains to the retired clergy and clergy spouses for the Diocese of Texas and is on the board of St.Luke's Episcopal Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston.

1964 Dodge 440 - SS/LA Super Stock Look-AlikeWritten by on October 14, 2012 Contributors: Jerry Heasley 12-Second B-Body Brings Back quarter-Mile Memories
In Mopar racing history, the early ('62-'65) B-Bodies are famously known for their dragstrip successes. Thanks to the Ramchargers, "Dandy" Dick Landy, Al "Lawman" Eckstrand, plus dozens more Plymouth and Dodge drivers across the U.S., Stock and Super Stock classes at strips across the country were filled with Mopars--not just in the pits and staging lanes, but in winners' circles, too.
Even when newer, more advanced ChryCo cars came on the scene, the '62-'65s were still racing--and winning--in the doorslammer classes. That was before nostalgia racing, spurred on by NHRA's California Hot Rod Reunion, made racers seek out those original quarter-mile screamers and return them to their original glory. It also inspired Mopar folks to build street and strip friendly versions of their own, like Terry Toth. Back in 2007, he heard out about an early B-Body hardtop that was for sale. The '64 Dodge 440 hardtop that he found was far from a complete, ready-to-run car, he recalls. "It was started by a gentleman back in 2005, and he didn't quite get it done, so I took it over."
What he got to start with--and finish--was the stuff of Mopar builders' dreams. "You couldn't have asked for a better car," he says. "The car was in perfect shape." A look into the '64's history showed that it was sold new in Tucson, and later moved to another dry Southwest city. "Some old lady in Vegas ended up with it, and it sat in a garage for like 34 years." That means the only salt the 440's original steel likely ever saw was that spilled at a drive-in burger stand, plus it also avoided the ravages of the strong Southwestern sun. Once Terry got it, he decided to turn it into a Super Stock look-alike, with some modern-tech features in it as well.
Power comes from a modified low-deck big-block, bored out to 395 cubic inches and equipped with a combination of vintage parts (like the 425-casting iron heads) and new stuff like a Comp Cams 284 hydraulic roller camshaft and tti headers. Backing it is the choice of champions who win automatically: the 727 Torqueflite. Terry looked to B&M for a shift kit and converter, plus a Star floor-mounted shifter to replace the original 1964 "typewriter" pushbuttons on the dash. That wasn't the only upgrade to the '64's cabin. "On the inside, it's got AutoMeter gauges, and I put an S&W Race Cars chrome rollcage in it," says Terry. Not a one-size-fits-all kit, but one that he'd bent the tubing (with the tube bender in his shop) after making a plastic-pipe template that fit the interior just right.
Two other race car–inspired upgrades also grace Terry's Dodge: Competition Engineering wheelie bars, and an S&W Race Cars parachute. Nearby Southwestern International Raceway had a 50th Old Tucson Dragway Reunion, and he ran 12s there. When we talked with him, Terry was in the process of making his '64 even more of a Super Stock look-alike. "At Mopars at the Strip, I bought some A990 seats and brackets," he says of his next planned update. "I'd built some brackets out of steel for it, that A/FX look. I didn't like the way they turned out, so I got those aluminum ones." Once those are in, Terry's 440 will be that much more like the Mopar Super Stocks that are still going strong--and still winning!

By Cal Athletics on Fri, August 29, 2014 Related Links Cal Game Notes Northwestern Game Notes ABC/ESPN2 Coverage Map The California football team is chomping at the bit to start the 2014 season. The Golden Bears are eager to prove the naysayers wrong in that the 2013 season is behind them and that things are going to be different this season. The coaching staff was pleased with how hard the Bears practiced during spring ball, how committed they were to the summer workouts and how much they improved during fall training camp. With training camp now over and Cal having its sights set on Saturday's season opener at Northwestern, second-year head coach Sonny Dykes said he's feeling good about where his team is heading into the new campaign. "We've had a good camp, our players had a great offseason," Dykes said. "It all starts there. They've matured physically and mentally. We still have to keep getting better, but guys have worked really hard and they've had a great attitude. I'm anxious to see how we're going to play. "There is a lot better chemistry on our team and a much better culture than a year ago," Dykes continued. "I like the way the guys are playing hard for each other. That's been fun to see that happen. It's been nice to see them work harder and pay more attention to the stuff that's important. It's always fun to watch teams go through that process. I like where this group is headed." Everything starts with leadership, and following the final practice of training camp on Aug. 23, Dykes announced the six team captains for this season – Lucus Gingold, Jared Goff, Daniel Lasco, Michael Lowe, Stefan McClure and Brennan Scarlett. The bread and butter last year for Cal was the passing game, and that conversation has to start with sophomore standout quarterback Jared Goff. After setting a number or single-season and single-game records last year, Goff is focused on the task at hand of getting the program back to one of the best in the Pac-12. Second-year offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tony Franklin said he'd like to see Goff take the next leap with his game this year. "He's got a lot of talent and he's competing well, and we've got a lot of guys behind him who are good," Franklin said. "It's like every other position. He's got to go out and compete every day and prove that he's the best guy to help us win." Franklin also tipped his cap to the two newcomers at the position – Luke Rubenzer and Chase Forrest. He said for two true freshmen who just joined the team at the start of training camp, they both had as good of camps as anybody's he's coached in the past. The biggest improvement that Dykes and Franklin saw during training camp was the ability to run the ball. Franklin was happy with how running backs Khalfani Muhammad and Daniel Lasco improved during camp, as well as with the play of true freshmen running backs Tre Watson and Vic Enwere. Franklin likes having so many options for guys to plug in the backfield. In order for the offense to be able to run the ball, it starts with the offensive line and Franklin definitely saw improvement with the line from a year ago. "The biggest thing has been running the football," Franklin said. "We have to run the football to win, and our offensive line has done a really good job of being more physical coming off the ball. That's the biggest improvement we've had." Dykes stated having Chris Adcock back in the trenches after missing most of last season due to injury has really helped steady the line and bring more depth. The depth is also strong at wide receiver. Three of Cal's top four receivers are back from a year ago – Chris Harper, Kenny Lawler and Bryce Treggs. Not only those three, but Stephen Anderson, Trevor Davis, Maurice Harris and Darius Powe should all factor in and help Goff build upon his performance from a year ago. The most refreshing aspect on the defensive side of the ball for first-year defensive coordinator Art Kaufman is having some key defenders back at his arsenal such as Brennan Scarlett, Stefan McClure and Mustafa Jalil. The efforts of Scarlett and Jalil have helped create a larger presence of consistency of the defensive line during camp, something Kaufman was very pleased to see. "Up front we've developed some guys, and that's been a big surprise since the spring," Kaufman said. "The development of Trevor Kelly and Tony Mekari; those two both have had really good fall camps. Jalil, who I hadn't seen anything from him prior to camp, and Austin Clark, those guys have been a big help for us." Kaufman isn't the only one excited to see what formerly injured players from a year ago can do. "Brennan Scarlett has worked really hard to get back and he's had a great attitude," Dykes said. "The guys really believe in him. Our safeties are two guys that people believe in. Stefan McClure has shown a lot of leadership and maturity. He's had a tough time staying healthy here, but he's had a great fall camp. He's primed to have a good year. Michael Lowe has really turned into one of our more solid guys. It's good when you have leadership start to take the team like that." Lowe has been one of the defensive standouts that both Dykes and Kaufman have praised. The experience of two veterans like Lowe, a senior, and McClure, a junior, at that position will be vital to the secondary. With the departure of multiple starting and experienced linebackers from a year ago, combined with the season-ending injury suffered by Nathan Broussard during camp, Cal will look to junior Jalen Jefferson, sophomores Michael Barton and Hardy Nickerson, freshman Raymond Davison, and sophomore Jake Kearney to fill up the two-deep at the position. According to Kaufman, true freshman Devante Downs could be somebody for fans to keep an eye on at linebacker, as well. "Devante has shown flashes that he could be good," Kaufman said. "Time will tell for him. He definitely is going to play. As he matures and learns the speed of the game, it depends on how fast he can learn that. He's got the physical ability and the instincts. He'll be in the mix, and he'll be a good player once he can adjust to the speed of the game." Cal Poly transfer James Langford has won the placekicking job and will be seeing the field this season for the first time since joining Cal's program in the spring of 2012. Cole Leininger returns as the team's punter. The junior is on the preseason watch list for the Ray Guy Award. The mood was positive, excited and upbeat throughout training camp at Kabam Field at California Memorial Stadium. The Bears are eager to show that things will be different this season. Still, Dykes said whether you have a successful season or tough one, you always want to put the previous year behind you when a new one is about to start. "Every year is different," Dykes said. "Even when you have a good year, you're anxious to put that behind you and get back out there because every team is different. Hopefully we won't have much carry over from last year. Our guys understand we're in a different place than last year. We have to go out and prove it. I like our temperament. I like the work ethic. Now we just have to see how we handle adversity when it happens. Can we hold it together? Are the leaders going to lead? Are the followers going to follow? All of these are things that have to happen to give us a chance to be successful." Cal opens the 2014 season at Northwestern on Saturday, Aug.30, at 12:30 p.m. PT. on ABC/ESPN2.

Most Read Stories
3 tablespoons grated Gouda cheese
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1½ teaspoons minced herbs (dried fines herbs or fresh parsley, oregano, tarragon, marjoram or thyme)
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter 2 ramekins well and pour 1 tablespoon cream in each. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon lemon zest and 1½ tablespoons cheese over the cream in each ramekin. Salt and pepper to taste.
2. Crack 1 egg into a cup and carefully pour it into a ramekin (this is to assure that the egg yolk doesn't break or have a spot on it; if it does, use another egg); repeat with remaining egg into second ramekin. Pour the remaining tablespoons of cream over the eggs. Scatter herbs over the top.
3. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes (about 15 minutes for the white to be cooked, but the yolk will still be soft and a bit runny).
• Add lemon zest to the top of egg before it's cooked.
• Add salsa or Asian chili sauce over eggs when they come out of the oven.
• Prosciutto-wrapped: Place a paper-thin slice of prosciutto in each ramekin (cut to assure it fits the dish without overhanging) and bake for 10 minutes. Continue with recipe, first warming cream before adding it to ramekin. Add egg and seasoning.
• Ham (or prosciutto) and mushrooms: Finely chop ham, mushrooms and scallions. Toss with a little Brie and place mixture in ramekins. Top with egg and additional cheese over egg and bake.
• Florentine: Spread 1 tablespoon chopped cooked spinach on bottom of each ramekin. Top with egg and 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Kansas would do wise to hire Turner Gill--he's a proven leader, he's an upstanding person on and off the field, and the Kansas fan base would swell to ten times its current size overnight because all of the Nebraska fans would then become Kansas fans too (save for one obvious game a year). Look at how they've been a boon for Ohio and Buffalo to a much smaller degree.

As for Nutt, he's simply doing this to angle for a raise. Kansas would do wise to not patronize him.
