Jack Jack Jack. Spurs are actually quite good now. We won't be catching them.
I acually want us to miss the CL.....we need to change the just about mentality and if it takes us missing out on cl and suffer few more years, then I take it.
Spurs have done their suffering and worked their way up, you gotta admire them. Right now they are more ambitious and serious football club than us and Im not in denial like some arsenal fans to say this
We are never going to catch spurs, the power balance has shifted and I completely agree with hippo. Spurs are now the more ambitious club they have a better balance of players than we do especially in midfield, a board who want to win things not just fall across the line and the willingness to bankroll their ambition and a manager who has the strength of character to stand up to his bigger players and hold them to their contracts.
I'll hold my hands up. It aint done yet though.
If we finish 3rd and finish ahead of Spurs it will feel like a trophy. I'm sure we've all had to endure a lot of sh.it this year.
If we do finish 3rd or 4th I hope the club don't feel vindicated with their minimum spend policy.
i hope the club uses last couple of months as a springboard for the coming months and we strengthen our squad to be able to fight for the real trophy next season
Quote:Just wait and see Celine, Gervinho will soon prove his worth. He had a very busy season last season, and was thrown quickly into a struggling arsenal team to carry all the playing burden, and has just got back from an extremely busy cup of nations tournament. He's human, not a machine.celine dion
Gervinho as good as Messi anyone?
what? A fan being emotional and irrational when his team is not doing well

A 63-year-old man died this morning when his car was struck head-on by another vehicle in McHenry County.
About 6 a.m. a 2012 Lincoln MKZ sedan was headed westbound in the 22900 block of U.S. Route 20 in unincorporated McHenry County's Marengo Township when it entered into the eastbound lanes and struck a 1998 Honda sedan head-on, according to the McHenry County sheriff's office.
The driver of the Honda, Stephan A. Ford, 63, of Garden Prairie, Ill., was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. His car did not have air bags and he was not wearing a seat belt, the sheriff's office said.
The 86-year-old driver of the Lincoln, who lives in Lincolnshire, was taken to Centegra Hospital Woodstock and treated for what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.
Members of the McHenry County sheriff's office, Marengo Police Department and the Marengo Fire Protection District responded to the crash, which is being investigated by the McHenry County sheriff's office and the McHenry County coroner's office.

Welcome to the latest edition of Gallery Highlights!
This week's finds include some gorgeous layouts and cards, including some wonderful two-page spreads. I hope you like them all as much as I do. Let's go take a look! Don't forget – You can click on the links to visit the layouts in their galleries and view supply lists, leave a comment for the designer, or view the designer's other work.
104 days by agomalley
Annabelle's beautiful layout celebrates summer vacation beautifully. She made the stencil numbers and backed them with strips of paper for a very creative and colorful title. She used the same colors as a border and used bright accents to balance the entire layout.
You are my happy place by Sarah Webb
Sarah's card has such a sweet sentiment and immediately caught my eye. She used a wonderful collection of different patterned papers on a neutral base and then added soft butterflies above and below the sentiment. I also love the way she used baker's twine as a bow and stapled the ends down. That is a great idea!
Non-stop sledding by sillypea
I love seeing winter photos during the summer and Jennifer has done a great job with this two-page layout. She layered 13 photos over both pages and then added strips of vellum, patterned paper and sparkly snowflakes. She topped it all off with confetti to mimic falling snow and it's a fabulous touch!
August Take Twelve by Aly D
Aly is making a Twelve on Twelve album – a fun challenge that involves taking 12 photos on the 12th of every month. This is her layout for August. She created a collage of her 12 photos in Picasa and used that as the base for the right side of this two-page spread. She added some neutral embellishments on top of the photos and then brought in those same colors on the left side which includes her title and journaling. This is a great way to make a two-page spread and allow both the photos and the journaling to shine.
Frescos in Lucerne by Whosthischick
Look at the colors in this next layout! The designer did a fantastic job of highlighting these gorgeous photos by matching the colors in her paper choices to the colors in the photos. It adds such sophistication to this two-page spread and truly allows the architecture in the photos to shine.
Special Relationship by grandma lynnie
Lynn's layout highlights a wonderful relationship between a grandfather and his granddaughter. Using a single, enlarged photo as the centerpiece, she layered digital stamps on both edges of the photo and added journaling and another stamp on the bottom of the photo. This is a gorgeous example of how to say a lot very simply. What a beautiful layout!
And there you have them – our gallery highlights for the week! As always, I wish we had time and space to feature more of the amazing designs out there. Thanks so much to all of the designers who shared their work with us this week. What were your favorite gallery layouts last week? Feel free to link us to them in the comments and let us know what you think and which are your current favorites in the galleries!

It's not just the Galaxy S3 getting a generous helping of new features in its Android 4.1.2 update. According to reports from SamMobile, the international Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) and Galaxy Note 2 LTE (GT-N7105) are also receiving new Samsung-flavored software along with the new OS upgrade.
The biggest changes seem to be focused around the top of the screen. The notification shade is now customizable, so if you're not a fan of extraneous toggles and brightness dials, you can turn them off. If you keep your notification shade quick-controls, you'll notice new additions such as the ability to toggle the multi-window feature on and off. The notification bar itself has also changed slightly, going from grey back to black. And the lock screen's been changed up a little, with a new, optional ink effect in the on-screen "pool" when unlocking the device.
Web browser performance improvements are also noted, although we've always found Samsung's stock browser to be pretty fast. And finally, there's also a new Group Cast app for sharing music and photos with other Samsung device owners.
SamMobile says the Note 2 Android 4.1.2 upgrade is going live now in Poland (Note 2) and Sweden (Note 2 LTE). As ever, other countries are likely to vary, particularly when carriers need to get involved and certify the updates.
Are you seeing today's update on your international Galaxy Note 2? Let us know how you're getting on in the comments!

This reminded me of who is missing in the last scene. It's the 3rd woman, Team C's short haired woman. So Wasabi Guy is the only remain of Team C we have if the woman failed here.

I thought the results aren't known because they're still deliberating?
I'm confused about the whole "missing" candidates thing you guys are talking about.
Ep 23 at the very start, or 9:26 shows all the candidates.
2 members from each team were picked (amongst themselves), JAXA picked the last 3 members.
EDIT: Ok, I think I get what this means. I disagree, Hoshika said their team had the most intelligence so it's logical most of their members passed. Mizoguchi carrying the team? God, no.

First off, I love Hibito's Corvette Stingray in the OP. Corvette became the unofficial car of the Mercury astronauts. The Stingray is from the late 1960s; the photograph at the top of the linked article is from 1969. Hibito's 'Vette has a "two-tone" paint job, too. I liked the brief shot of the 1950-ish Ford parked next to a fence. Is that to show Japanese people the American car culture? These scenes almost seem a tribute to cars in America.
Then there was the hoe-down scene. I find it a bit hard to believe that this scene is based on participant observation of actual NASA parties, but you never know. And Hibito had taught himself all the songs! Whatta guy!
Wasn't there a bit of jealousy in Mutta's voice in the promo when he hears that Serika is buying a Hibito poster? The subject of Hibito has come up before with Serika seeming to have a little crush on younger brother. It drove Mutta crazy then as I recall. I don't think Serika and Hibito have met, have they? It's a good thing Hibito is leaving, or Serika would probably ask Mutta to introduce her!

Wonderful episode. Simple, beautiful emotional honesty and love between brothers who each think of the other as their hero.
We probably haven't spent enough time talking about Watanabe Ayumu, the director behind Space Brothers. "The other Watanabe" did a fantastic job with Nazo no Kanojo X, and he's acing it here with a project that could hardly be more stylistically different. Watanabe's fingerprints were easier to spot in the more avant-garde and accessorized MGX, but he's pretty much disappeared into the background here – the way that other great director named Watanabe so often does. Everything with Uchuu Kyoudai is so natural and effortless that a director hardly seems necessary – and that's great direction. In this episode we saw some of the more pronounced stylistic touches of the series, such as long stretches with no dialogue and tricks based on character perspective. It was impressive in what it accomplished, making a seemingly small story quite powerful.

Does anyone else feel that some scenes were unnecessarily dragged out in this last episode? Scene timing was pretty bad and the animation wasn't its usual self. Granted, it has never been all that great, but it felt subpar even for Space Brothers.

The poster of the astronaut crew made me laugh. The male members of the crew, except for Hibito, all have names that are puns on musicians' names.
Freddie Saturn = Freddie Mercury
Buddy Waters = Muddy Waters
Damien Kweller = Damien Rice + Ben Kweller
The very common name "Karen Jones" does not have any obvious referents, except maybe to Grace Jones. Linda Cliff might be a reference to reggae singer Jimmy Cliff. Both Jones and Cliff are Jamaicans so they do have that in common.

Has anyone posted a list of the spacecraft that appear in the new ED? I recognized the asteroid probe Hayabusa, the lunar probe Kaguya, the space station's Kibo module and HTV-3 cargo ship and the IKAROS solar sail test craft. Plus Hibito's UFO, of course.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The No. 1 seed MIT women's volleyball team defeated No. 8 Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 30-14, 30-12, 30-10, in a quarterfinal match of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship Tournament on Tuesday night. With the win, MIT improves to 28-7 on the year while WPI ends its season with a record of 10-16.
As the top seed, MIT will host the semifinal and championship matches of the NEWMAC Tournament this weekend. On Friday, Nov. 4, MIT will meet up with No. 4 Smith College at 5:30 p.m. The second semifinal slated to start at 7:30 p.m. will feature No. 2 Springfield College and No. 3 U.S. Coast Guard Academy. The championship match will be held on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 4:00 p.m.
Caroline Jordan paced the Engineers' offense with 13 kills and added one solo and three assisted blocks. Briana Stephenson posted 10 kills while Ellen Sojka contributed nine kills in two games. Lindsay Hunting led the attack from the service line as she totaled five of Tech's 11 aces. Carrie Buchanan recorded a team-high seven digs as Arlis Reynolds collected six. Austin Zimmerman and Amanda Morris shared setting duties as distributed nine assists in one game and Amanda Morris dished out 24, which resulted in a team hitting percentage of .495.
MIT and Smith This Season
Sept. 24: In semifinal action of the MIT Invitational, MIT escaped the opening frame against Smith, 34-32, which was marred by sloppy play. After settling down and regaining their rhythm, the Engineers cruised to 30-21 margins in the second and third games to clinch a spot in the final. Reynolds continued to amass digs at a spectacular pace, finishing with 18. Buchanan also reached double-figures with 10, while she along with Reynolds combined for seven aces without a service error. Zimmerman dished out 38 assists while connecting most efficiently with Stephenson, who totaled 10 kills. Frances Rogoz paced Tech's attack with 12 kills as Jordan recorded 10 of her own.
Oct. 22: In the third-place match of the Hall of Fame Invitational, MIT struggled against Smith's tenacious defense, failing to generate any momentum. The Engineers lost by scores of 30-25, 30-20, 30-18. Jordan paced the balanced attack with seven kills and tallied eight digs. Reynolds posted a team-high 13 digs while Buchanan added 11. Zimmerman led the way with two solo blocks and three aces.
Oct. 25: Reynolds added to her collection of record-breaking performances while leading the MIT women's volleyball team to a 30-19, 30-13, 30-19 victory over Smith in NEWMAC play. Reynolds, whose 29 digs helped the Engineers hold the Pioneers to a team hitting performance of .014, eclipsed an 11 year-old mark for digs in a three-game match.
Held to a team hitting percentage of .029 in Saturday's contest, MIT looked in danger of repeating that season-low performance in the opening frame after Smith took a 3-0 lead on a pair of hitting errors. Despite building a 4-3 margin on Hunting's serve, the Engineers were unable to generate any momentum. The Pioneers took advantage of the situation as they maintained a three-point cushion for several rotations. With a series of deep float serves, Jordan disrupted Smith's offense and knotted the score at 17. Zimmerman continued the service line attack with a seven-point run, as Rose Zhong and Stephenson combined to convert four free ball opportunities into points to open up a 25-18 lead. The Pioneers mustered only one more point as Reynolds closed out the game with a five-point service run. Tech scored 22 times through kills after having found the floor only 35 times in Saturday's entire match.
Jordan's service rotation proved to be a turning point in the second game as well, as her three-point run created a 7-4 lead as a result of kills from Stephenson and Zhong. MIT held its own against the conference's leading defensive side by out-digging Smith by a significant margin, extending its lead with several successful long rallies. Later on, Jordan extended the Engineers advantage from seven to 15 points during which the Pioneers attempted to adjust their serve receive formation. Reynolds ended the second game with an ace, with the 30-13 margin marking Smith's most lopsided defeat of the season.
The Engineers continued to dominate in the final frame, with Reynolds collecting 12 digs and Rogoz blasting six of her match-high 13 kills without an error. Reynolds turned a 7-7 tie into an 11-7 advantage during her first trip to the service line on a service ace and a clever kill from Zimmerman. After Smith libero Megumi Sasaki's errant touch on a Rogoz blast looked to be a sure kill, NEWMAC dig leader Kate Sorensen pursued the ball beyond mid-court, evading the second official and nearly colliding with MIT head coach Paul Dill to return the ball to its side of the net. On the ensuing free ball, Zimmerman recognized the disarray in the Pioneers' defense and sent a first-touch set deep into the Smith backcourt within inches of the end-line.
Tech extended its lead to 18-13 before Reynolds' second trip to the service line put the contest out of reach, as her match-high fourth ace gave the Engineers a 24-13 margin en route to a 30-19 victory. Zimmerman finished the match with 36 assists as MIT hit .248 as a team. Jordan and Stephenson each tallied 11 kills, with Jordan needing only 26 swings to record her match-high .385 performance.

When a close friend of mine at AMD called me up a couple weeks ago and informed me that the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ would be the last processor 'speed bump' that will clad the name 'Athlon', I had mixed emotions. For nearly a decade the word Athlon has been staple in the hearts and minds of computer enthusiasts around the world. The Athlon made its debut on June 23, 1999 and was originally chosen by AMD as it was short for "decathlon". Athlon is also the ancient Greek word for "Champion/trophy of the games" and there was a number or years where it did top anything Intel had to offer and the AMD Athlon processor series proved itself worthy of its namesake. With the next generation of AMD Phenom processors right around the corner, it makes sense to call it quits, but that doesn't mean we can't reminisce about the past.
When you think of the word Athlon what comes to mind? The second I think of the word Athlon it takes me back to the first Athlon XP processor I bought back in 2002 when I was a broke college student. I skipped lunches on campus to save money, so I could buy an Athlon XP 1600+. It took me weeks to find the right processor as I didn't want just any Athlon XP 1600+ — I had to have the AGOIA stepping as it overclocked better than the other steppings back then. I remember calling Google Gear (later renamed Zip Zoom Fly after Google sent them a nasty legal letter) to purchase the processor as they would pick out the stepping you wanted if you got the right person on the phone. Once my processor arrived I remember going to Auto Zone and buying a rear window defogger repair kit and scotch tape, so I could unlock the multipliers since AMD started locking them. Then I sat down and unlocked the processor with my girlfriend of the time looking at me like I have finally lost it. You know what the funny thing is? I was so attached to that processor, I never did get rid of it.
My beloved AMD Athlon XP 1600+ AGOIA is still to this day in perfect working order and it reminds me of a time where people had to work for a decent overclock. Back in 2002 people had to use extreme measures to unlock processor multipliers and had to move jumpers on the motherboard in order to increase the Front Side Bus (FSB) speeds. Fast forward five years later and you have people complaining that a 25% overclock is not good enough for them! If they only knew what it was like prior to the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) boom that happened around the world in 2003 and the results were consumer friendly motherboards that were jumperless and the hardware was all plug-in-play.
After thinking about the end of the Athlon series it got me thinking, why not fire up several of the popular processors over the past several years on the motherboards that I have been saving?
Since I started Legit Reviews back in 2002, I gathered up processors from that time period on. While I wanted to include my Athlon XP 1600+ in the benchmarking tests, I ended up deciding against it since the Athlon XP 1800+ had higher sales numbers. The successor to the Athlon XP 1800+ was an easy choice as the Athlon XP 2500+ was by far the most popular 'Barton' core AMD ever had. While the AMD socket 754 platform never really took off in the enthusiast crowd an Athlon 64 3200+ with 1MB cache was included to give those with a socket 754 platform something to look at in the charts. Since the Athlon 64 3200+ is 2.2GHz and single-core it will also be nice to compare it against the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ as it is also 2.2GHz, but dual-core.
When it came to the Socket 939 platform, it was a tough call between the Athlon 64 3500+ and the Athlon 64 3800+, but in the end the Athlon 64 3800+ won the battle. The battle for the Socket AM2 platform was also a tough call as AMD introduced so many part numbers with a variety of cache sizes and clock speeds. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ was picked to represent this era as it was affordable and popular when it was available. The final processor to be included is the rare AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ black box edition processor that was originally supposed to be available only to OEM's, but now is seems online retailers have them in stock for $259.

After breakfast at the hotel, the U18s piled onto the bus to Pizza Hut Park for their first match of the Showcase. The Revs came back from a two-goal deficit to earn a 3-2 victory against the Clearwater Chargers, which you can read about in the game recap, establishing a solid foundation for the remainder of the event.
The Under-16s took the bus over from the hotel midway through the older squad's match, and they watched for a brief time before the coaches encouraged them to find shelter from the sun in the players' lounge. Following the Under-18s' win, the U16s then had a brief training session of their own.
While the younger group trained, the U18s cooled off and rehydrated in the players' lounge – a large air-conditioned tent at the complex. In the lounge, the players got into a small foosball tournament. Cam Bielski and Adrian Reifsnyder managed to win three consecutive matches before being upset by a challenging pair.
The two teams reunited on the bus before noon and headed back to the hotel for a session at the pool, lunch and meetings.
Since the U16s do not begin play until tomorrow, the teams had much of the afternoon to themselves. Some players chose to linger at the hotel, while others made their way over to a mall that is within walking distance.
Playing off of the organization's tradition of Revs Jersey Friday, the players and coaches all donned a soccer jersey off their choice for dinner, which was again enjoyed at the same local restaurant. After a quick stop for cupcakes – the Snickers flavor was a hit, especially – everyone made their way back to the gates of Pizza Hut Park for a team photo.
The teams again split for meetings with their respective coaches, and are now enjoying some more time off before curfew.
Tomorrow, the U18s will play Shattuck-Saint Mary's tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET, in their second game of the Showcase. Following that, the U16s will take on North Carolina Fusion at 12 p.m. ET in their first game of the Playoffs.

E3 to Put Spotlight on Xbox vs. PlayStation
Microsoft Shifts Gears to Catch Up to Sony in Videogame Consoles; Nintendo's Wii Sputters
Hard-core videogame players typically are loyal to either PlayStation or Xbox. Until last year, Mario Valdes was an Xbox guy.
But in November—when Microsoft Corp. released its new Xbox One console and Sony Corp., its PlayStation 4—he made a switch. In his mind, Microsoft's $499 console, which came with a motion and voice-sensing accessory called Kinect, didn't compare well with Sony's $399 system without an equivalent feature.

5 Trends We Spotted at the 2014 Home + Housewares Show
Housewares is a huge trade show held every spring in Chicago, and it's the source of the home products you see the rest of the year at retailers from Target and Bed Bath & Beyond to your local independent kitchenwares shop.
Every year when I walk the show I look for interesting pockets of trends. Here are five we noticed this year, with photos of the cutest little mixer you've ever seen to the diner-inspired line from Jamie Oliver.
- Appliances that look like toys. The entry-level small electrics at the show often had a lot in common with toys, from a "cupcake maker" to a little mixer that came in candy colors. Pictured here: A new small mixer from Dash (will retail for about $50). "Cupcaker" from Bakelicious.
- The personal smoothie. Blenders are always plentiful at Housewares, but this year, almost overnight, every blender is now also coming with a personal smoothie jar you can cap and take to work. Even Vitamix showed a smaller "personal" blender that will retail for about $400 and included a one-serving smoothie jar as well as the regular blender pitcher.
- Glass, everywhere. There's a lot of plastic at Housewares (and silicone...) but this year glass really stood out. It's clear that manufacturers are hearing consumers' desire for what seems like a safer material than plastic. Pictured here: Creo's colorful glass bakeware, Glasslock's very nice travel mug.
- Retro 1950s styling. While we're seeing a lot of sleek, Apple-inspired lines and bright modern colors, a completely different direction is 1950s styling. This is still very popular with consumers and we saw a lot of it this time around. Pictured here: Popcorn and candy dispensers from Bella Housewares. A line of red and aqua tabletop and cookware from Jamie Oliver.
- The individual dessert. Baking pans and other dessert products are a huge category at Housewares, and this year we were struck by how many of them emphasized the personal dessert — the individual slice of cake, the teeny individual pan mold. Pictured here: Cake slice serving pieces from MollaSpace. A tool for making stacked individual desserts from Creo.

Quartet - Review
Review by Rob Carnevale
DUSTIN Hoffman makes his directorial debut with Quartet, an amiable heart-warmer that doesn't stretch anyone too far outside of their comfort zone.
Derived from a stage play by Ronald Harwood, of The Pianist and The Diving Bell & The Butterfly fame, the film contains some wry observations about dealing with old age but seldom strays too far from the next chuckle, a point Hoffman says he was acutely aware of when striving to lend the film as universal appeal as possible.
The story takes place in a specialist retirement home for old musicians in the run up to an annual fundraising concert celebrating Verdi's birthday as the gentle existence of long-term residents Reggie (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred (Billy Connolly) and Cecily (Pauline Collins) is upset by the arrival of Reggie's former wife Jean (Maggie Smith).
As Reggie struggles to keep a lid on his feelings, the four are asked to reunite and perform together at the concert, forcing the two to confront their history together and, in Jean's case, her diva-style reluctance to sing again.
Hoffman's film leaves you in no doubt where it's heading and frustrates in places but is an otherwise entertaining experience that manages to feel much less patronising than that other elderly audience favourite, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. As such, it should have no problem attracting that same crowd.
And as you'd expect from an actor of Hoffman's stature, his film is all about performance even if he doesn't ask anyone to really stretch themselves.
Hence, Courtenay is the pick of the ensemble as the engaging Reggie, struggling to deal with heartbreak more than old age, while Smith is typically feisty, dispensing dry put downs and observations with her usual aplomb. She does, however, get to tap into a more sensitive side, too, which works well during her scenes with Courtenay.
Connolly provides the bulk of the laughs and occasionally pushes it too far as the outspoken Wilfred and Collins is engaging, if overly pushing the forgetfulness during some of the film's more contrived moments.
There's engaging support, too, from the likes of Sheridan Smith, Michael Gambon and other residents of the home, all of whom are real-life musicians and singers and all of whom are given a moment to remind people of their talents by virtue of Hoffman's generosity of direction.
If there are moments that grate or threaten to test the patience, then overall they can be forgiven given Quartet's [and Hoffman's] desire to entertain, especially as all involved do enough to ensure that the predictably sentimental finale does still manage to touch the heart as well.

Johannesburg: Media organisations have urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to intervene in a row with the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) over coverage restrictions of the Test series between India and England, saying the dispute was damaging the game.
The News Media Coalition, writing on behalf of a group of news agencies, newspapers and publishers, urged the ICC to use its influence and global standing to convince the BCCI to lift the curbs which have set off a text and photo blackout of the series.
"We recognise that the ICC does not have direct authority of the media policy of individual national cricket bodies but view the ICC as the collective custodians of the good name of the sport, fair play and the promotion of the game," a website quoted the letter, as saying.
"The BCCI`s policy of locking out an important sector of the news industry risks damaging much that the ICC has sought to achieve," the letter added.
The ICC has drawn up proposals for Twenty20 cricket to eventually become an Olympic sport.
Kevan Gosper, chairperson of the International Olympic Committee`s press commission, is among those to have criticised the BCCI stance, calling it a direct attack on the freedom of the media.
The accreditation dispute is the latest between the BCCI and media organisations to mar the series.

practice management
Sizing Up SPECSAVERS
Crissa Shoemaker Debree, contributing editor
Here's an inside look at one of the world's fastest growing retail practices — and its impact on optometry.
When Carmelo Castiglione, MCOptom, first began practicing nearly 20 years ago, Specsavers, with its value-for-money model of eyeglass sales and exams, was criticized for devaluing the profession he worked so hard to enter.
Today, Specsavers is the largest optical practice in the United Kingdom (U.K.), with more than 1,000 stores that together have captured an estimated 40% of the market. It's the fastest growing retailer in Australia and New Zealand, where it's become the number-one optical "chain" in a few short years. It's also the leading dispensary in Norway, Ireland and Denmark. With its familiar green spectacle-shaped logo, Specsavers has been recognized as the most trusted brand in the U.K. by Readers Digest magazine.
"Today, they're an accepted High Street (Main Street) optical group that has produced an excellent advertising and marketing campaign and a slogan that the general public use in day-to-day conversation," says Dr. Castiglione, who operates an independent practice in Surrey, a county in Southeast England. "When it comes to purchasing spectacles from my practice, these words are often mumbled: 'Is it buy one get one free?'"
At Specsavers, the answer is "yes."
The company first introduced its two-for-one pricing in the 1980s. In so doing, Specsavers, through its network of joint venture practices (each store is an independent company half-owned by Specsavers), has transformed the way the public in the U.K. buys glasses. Critics say Specsavers' promises of low costs can be deceiving — extras make spectacles more expensive than advertised. But proponents say the company's large buying power helps keep costs low.
The company has become so well known that its advertising slogan, "I should have gone to Specsavers," has become an everyday phrase. It's even shown up in pop songs.
A humble start
For its size, however, Specsavers' beginnings are humble.
U.K. government deregulation in the 1980s allowed opticians and other professionals to advertise their products and services for the first time. Optometrist Doug Perkins and his wife, Mary, both of whom had retired after selling a small chain of value-for-money opticians offices, saw opportunity. They opened the first Specsavers in 1984 in the spare bedroom of their home in Guernsey.
By forming joint venture stores with opticians and optometrists, Specsavers grew rapidly. It reached 100 stores within the first four years. It grew to 200 stores in 1993, then 300 in 1995. In 2005, it had 700 stores.
Specsavers opened its first stores in the Netherlands in 1997. Sweden, Denmark and Norway followed in 2004 and 2005. In 2006, it opened its first stores in Spain. In 2007, Specsavers opened its first stores in Finland and then Australia, which has become the company's second-largest market behind the U.K.
Today, there are more than 1,500 Specsavers stores in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Sales surpassed £1.5 billion (about $2.4 billion) last year, an increase of 10.3%. That same year, Dame Mary Perkins became the first female billionaire on The Sunday Times' list of the wealthiest people in the U.K. with a net family worth of more than £1.15 billion (about $1.79 billion).
Through a spokeswoman, Specsavers declined multiple requests to comment for this article. However, the company's annual reports, along with joint venture prospectuses, provide a picture of the company's operations and growth.
A start at Specsavers
The typical practice costs roughly £150,000 ($240,000) to start, although the figure varies based on location, size of practice and other factors, the company says in its partnership brochures. Independent owners (optometrists and/or opticians) are expected to have at least £20,000 in liquid assets each to loan to the new business; Specsavers makes a similar loan. The company also can make a five-year loan for capital expenditures that is paid out from store profits, typically in a three-year period.
Stores can be owned by a sole optician/optometrist or a group. Each new practice is a separate company. When formed, an equal number of "A" shares and "B" shares are issued. "A" shares are owned by the practice owner or partners. "B" shares are owned by Specsavers. Specsavers also sets up similar arrangements with existing practices in which the practices would transition from independent ownership to the Specsavers' model of joint venture ownership — a model that particularly helped the company's growth in Australia, where 80 of the 260 stores that opened in the first year were conversions.
"A" shareholders are charged with the day-to-day running of the stores. "B" shareholders — Specsavers — provide support services, including IT, legal and payroll. Specsavers does not share in profits; rather, the company receives a management fee of about 16% of monthly turnover in return for its services.
If the partners wished to sell the practice, they would sell their "A" shares, leaving Specsavers to partner with the new owners.
"All clinical decision are ours," says Russell Dawkins, MCOptom, who owns a Specsavers store near London along with an optical partner. "It is actually a great company to belong to. There is no interference in day-to-day running, if you're doing a good job. And why would you not want to?"
Dr. Dawkins was a locum optometrist before making the decision to open a Specsavers location.
"Essentially, I'm running my own business," he says. "But I don't have to worry about property or operation issues on my own. They even take care of payroll. At the end of the day, it's our store, and we're responsible for our performance."
Clinical and retail decisions
That means the owner makes daily decisions, from clinical policy directives to what time to open the retail store, Dawkins says. They also make the call on — and foot the bill for — equipment to purchase.
On the retail side, Specsavers stores offer about 2,000 different styles and colors of frames through its private brand, Osiris, and designers, such as Tommy Hilfiger, Quiksilver, Roxy and Missoni. Partners are required to stick with those brands. Lenses are manufactured under the Pentax brand, although, Dr. Dawkins says, store owners can make their own decisions on which lenses to offer from preferred vendors.
Specsavers continues to grow. In 2010 it launched a digital hearing aid business and has become the largest private seller of digital hearing aids in the U.K. It continues opening stores, including in supermarkets.
There's no indication the company's growth plans include the United States or Canada. But they would be met with stiff competition here, says Janice Mignogna, director of the Bennett Center for Business and Practice Management at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry.
"To introduce another type of practice like that would not be popular with the general private practice optometrist," she says. "We have so many (practices). Walmart. Target. They are moving in everywhere. It's supposed to be, promotion-wise, go there, you can get your glasses, they're cheaper, they're this. It's a really big competition for private practitioners.
"The public's perception is that, I'll go there and get just as good an eye exam. Mostly they go for convenience — it's in the mall, it's down the street. They don't normally go because of the doctors' reputation. They go because it's convenient to where they're traveling."
Dr. Castiglione, the U.K. optometrist, echoed the same complaints about competing against Specsavers' low costs.
The model works, but…
"Clearly, their business model works," he says. "The public are mesmerized, putting them into a trance and before they know it they have spent more on their glasses than they originally thought/bargained for. The independent, service-led practitioner who provides a decent job — who gets to know the patient and understands their needs — is often left scratching their heads thinking why on earth would a person go to an establishment that sees a patient as just another number?"
Recently, Specsavers began offering eye test vouchers for £5 (about $8).
"They have had a significant impact on public perception of eye care and eyewear," Dr. Castiglione says. "Unless the public are educated in the products and services offered by their local independent practitioner, they simply do not know the difference. They have tapped into a market — that is, low-cost products and services — that right now resonates with the consumer. "After all, we are in a recession," says Dr. Castiglione. "Their current low-cost eye test vouchers are quite simply insulting — yet it gets the 'customers' through the door," he adds.
Still, Dr. Castiglione says he would remain an independent practitioner.
"Being independent allows me to choose products and services which I feel fit for my practice and ultimately my patients," he says. "Yes it perhaps requires decisions to be made, but at least I am in control."
Shimir Patel, MCOptom, worked as a resident optometrist for a Specsavers practice for nearly three years. Eighteen months ago he opened his own, independent practice in Essex.
"I think Specsavers is a very good model, but it wasn't for me due to the constraints with respect to management, lack of control and the speed of the number of new Specsavers practices opening within a short space of time," Dr. Patel says.
He describes the current optical market as "survival of the fittest."
"I'm orienting my practice so I don't eventually compete against them, but rather build my practice's own niche clientele that deals with high-end products and a greater emphasis on clinical care," he says. OM

By Billy Graham • June 7, 2010 • Topics: Parenting, War, Worry
Almost every parent who's seen a son or daughter (or in my case, a grandson) enter the military has had similar feelings — and they are understandable. You love your son very much, and you know he is choosing an important but potentially dangerous career.
But God also loves your son — in fact, even more than you do! If God didn't care for your son, you'd have every right to be nervous and fearful. But He does care about him — and that's why you can trust him into God's hands, even in the face of uncertainty and danger. The Bible's promise is clear: "The Lord watches over you. The Lord is like a shade tree at your right hand" (Psalm 121:5, NIRV).
Does this mean your son will never face danger, or even injury or death, in the years ahead? I wish I could promise this — but I can't, because evil is real, and no one is exempt from life's dangers. But it does mean you can pray for him and know that God will hear your prayers. It also means that even if hard times come, God is still with you — and with him.
My prayer is that both you and your son will turn to Christ in a fresh way, and commit your lives and your futures into His hands. Then encourage your son to walk with Christ every day as he faces the dangers (and temptations) of military service.
Our military guys get to me in a way that's so deep I can't start to explain it. My late husband was a in the military for 10 years and after he returned home, got married and had 3 boys, the Lord called him to preach. The Bible became his constant companion and he loved Greek. Any ministerial student will tell you that you can't really teach the Bible well without knowing the Greek. Anyway, he didn't encourage our sons to go into the military when they turned 18, but he did make the statement, "I had rather see you in your grave than to refuse to defend your country. It turned out each one of them registered for the draft, if it was ever enacted again and we never knew it. You moms and dads, you have my prayers and my heartfelt thanks!!
My son, too. Thank you Pastor for your enlightening response.
Please pray for my husband who went away my fear for him. I pray God be with him. Please keep him in prayer.
God bless you and your family, Mr. Graham and thank you for standing fast for God all of your life. I will pray for you and your ministry faithfully.
My son-in-law is in the Navy working as a micro-biologist .He is on his way to China today please pray for safety and his salvation.navy
Please pray for my son and nephew and their units as they will be deployed to Afghanistan in March 2012 for over 1 year…. Thank you
Today my oldest grandson left for boot camp. Yes I cried, but I know that no matter what happens GOD will be there, for him, his family and me. Knowing that JESUS died on the cross for us, my Faith grows everyday. Thank You JESUS!!

A Baltimore County permits inspector was charged after police said they found more than 5,000 images child porn on his home computer and other electronic devices.
David Michael Gaine, 58, who has worked for 11 years as an inspector for the county's department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections, was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. Detectives also found that Gaine participated in chat rooms with others interested in child pornography.
Police do not believe Gaine downloaded or viewed child pornography using county equipment or on county time.
He has been suspended with pay since the investigation in November 2013, after police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Baltimore County officials said they intend to terminate his employment now that he has been charged.
Gaine, of the 9300 block of Fitzharding Lane in Owings Mills, has been released on $125,000 bail. He turned himself in to the Towson precinct Friday morning.
He does not have an attorney listed in court records. No one returned a message to his home.

Car Review
2012 Lincoln MKT: New Car Review
Pros: Luxurious interior; cool high-tech audio and communication features; EcoBoost V6
Cons: Handling is on the soft side; dash design is somewhat dated; exterior styling is polarizing
Lincoln's seven-passenger MKT is Lincoln's luxury-SUV answer to the Audi Q7, the Volvo XC90 and the Mercedes-Benz GL. Not nearly as gargantuan as the Lincoln Navigator, the MKT is suitable for carrying crews of five to seven, with amenities at every seating position to pamper the privileged few who get to ride along.
From the outside, the MKT is distinctive, if not universally good-looking. The design is on the edge of avant-garde, with an exaggerated rendition of Lincoln's signature double-winged grille, a fluid window line that abruptly breaks upward once past the rear door and a huge red tail lens that runs the width of the rear liftgate and wraps around the car's wide rear quarter-panels. Distinctive indeed.
But the MKT is more than just another exercise in clever styling; it's a full-fledged luxury SUV with a technological roster so complete that it makes the competition look downright primitive.
Comfort & Utility
Since this is a Lincoln, it goes without saying that the seating is soft and comfortable, the interior materials first-rate and the cabin sufficiently isolated from outside road and wind noise. But the MKT goes a few steps further, offering an available set of captain's chair seats that can be heated or cooled and are separated by a full-length console that includes a refrigerated bin. Overhead, the huge twin-panel Vista Roof allows sunlight to fill the cabin, while an available THX-certified sound system delights the ears.
With the standard 60/40 split bench seat, the MKT is a more practical vehicle, providing space for three passengers or a level load floor for hauling items too big for a conventional trunk with seats folded flat. The power-folding third row of seats disappears into the floor, a nice feature for those who may have difficulty reaching and pulling to get the seats in and out of position.
Standard amenities in the Lincoln MKT include the Vista Glass panoramic sunroof, a rear-view camera, Intelligent Access with push-button start, tri-zone automatic temperature control with rear seat controls, a power liftgate, an eight-inch touchscreen with SYNC phone and iPod connectivity, power adjustable foot pedals, rear door sunshades and a power tilting and telescoping steering wheel.
The 2012 Lincoln MKT is loaded with advanced technology, including the SYNC information and entertainment system, adaptive front headlights, adaptive cruise control, push-button start, Intelligent AWD, blind spot detection system and active park assist.
SYNC is Ford's voice-controlled system that allows for hands-free calling on a Bluetooth-enabled phone as well as the ability to call up music by song or genre from a portable device such as an iPod. When combined with the available navigation system, voice controls can be used to find a destination or locate nearby restaurants or gas stations. And with the subscription-based SIRIUS TravelLink, you'll get up-to-the-minute traffic, weather, sports scores, movie times and gasoline prices.
The MKT's adaptive cruise control system not only maintains a constant speed, it actually regulates the speed to help keep a safe distance from the traffic ahead. There's also an advanced collision warning system that alerts you to an impending frontal collision by flashing a red warning light that displays on the windshield. Another adaptive feature of note is that the front headlamps turn in the direction of the vehicle, helping to light corners that would otherwise remain dark.
One of our favorite high-tech features is Lincoln's touchpad locking and unlocking system. Unlike older versions that featured an exposed key pad attached to the door, the MKT's pad uses touch-sensitive keys hidden behind the door, integrated into the black plastic window frame. A swipe of the finger brings the pad to life, and the correct five-digit passcode unlocks the doors.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The 2012 Lincoln MKT offers two engine choices. Standard on the front-wheel-drive version is a 3.7-liter V6, producing 268 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a six-speed automatic, this engine delivers good power but somewhat poor fuel economy of 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway.
The better choice is the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, which employs twin turbochargers to deliver an impressive 355 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. It comes with the added benefit of full-time Intelligent AWD. Despite its V8-like power, the EcoBoost engine returns fuel economy not far from that of the 3.7-liter V6. The EcoBoost engine is rated by the EPA at 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway.
The MKT has a full array of standard safety measures including front and front side impact airbags and full-length side curtain airbags covering all three rows. At the wheels, standard ABS is joined by electronic traction control and electronic stability control. In the event of an impending accident, the SOS Post Crash Alert System will honk the horn and flash the hazard lights.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2012 Lincoln MKT high marks in all of its crash tests and named it a Top Safety Pick.
Driving Impressions
The MKT isn't an athletic SUV, but its ride and handling are more than adequate for how this vehicle is likely to be used-on the freeway and around town. The steering is nicely weighted but also a bit overassisted. The MKT's ride is exceptionally smooth and the cabin near whisper quiet. Although the 3.7-liter V6 doesn't strain to move the MKT, it doesn't exactly inspire, either. The EcoBoost V6 with its 355 hp is the right engine for this vehicle, especially with four or more passengers on board.
Other Cars to Consider
Audi Q7 -The Q7 has a more luxurious interior and more advanced optional equipment, plus it can be equipped with a diesel engine. But the Q7 will cost you thousands more.
Mercedes Benz GL-Class - The GL can be equipped with a diesel engine as well as a potent V8, and its resale value far exceeds that of the MKT. But you'll pay for the prestige of the Mercedes name, in some cases nearly twice the MKT's base price.
Volvo XC90 - The XC90 isn't as roomy inside as the MKT, nor is it as powerful. But the XC90 costs less than the MKT, and the two vehicles share the same middle-of-the-road resale value.
AutoTrader Recommends
Given that the difference in price between the front-wheel-drive V6 and the AWD EcoBoost V6 is a mere $2,000, we would definitely go with the EcoBoost/AWD option and load it with every possible option. After all, if you're going to spring for a luxury car, you might as well do it right.

Davide Frattini was an early adopter of carbon fibre in 'cross with his Blue Competition Cycles CXC back in 2006, but changes in teams and sponsors put him back on an all-alloy Fuji Cross RC for the 2009-10 season.
Not surprisingly, Frattini's new bike is a fair bit heavier than the one he used three years ago – by a significant 0.6kg (1.3lb) – and one of his competitors at the recent Boulder Cup in Colorado even playfully mocked it as "a tank" at 8.2kg (18.08lb).
Fuji build their top-end 'crosser with a proprietary 'A6 quaternary alloy', which they claim is 35 percent stronger than typical aluminium alloys and allows for thinner walls in the weld zones as a result.
Tube shaping is fairly aggressive: the down tube is slightly ovalised at both ends, the top tube is highly flattened for shouldering comfort, the seat tube flares from round to rectangular below the front derailleur clamp, and the chainstays and seatstays both take an 'S'-shaped path from end to end.
Up front, an integrated head tube surrounds a straight 1 1/8in alloy steerer mated to an alloy crown and carbon blades. Claimed frame weight is a competitive 1,530g (3.37lb) but the mixed material fork is a comparatively hefty 750g.
However, weight isn't everything. Frattini crossed the Boulder Cup line ahead of said competitor (who was on a much lighter machine) and regularly lands in the top 10 at major US races. In fact, the former 'Baby' Giro d'Italia winner is quick to point out that in some areas, the additional mass has lent performance gains, not losses.
"[The Fuji Cross RC] is one of the very few bikes that I've never had a problem with the fork chattering without having to toe-in the brake pads," Frattini said. "I rode full carbon bikes or aluminium with carbon rear stays in the past and the Fuji Cross RC has only a carbon fork. But despite this, it still has good stiffness without being a heavy bike."
Instead of focusing on weight, Frattini emphasises the importance of good handling characteristics and the ability to maintain traction since the courses can be quite technical and typically incorporate very little climbing. Interestingly, he also adds that while stiffness is generally good, there is such a thing as too much of it when the conditions are loose.
"In cyclo-cross you have a lot of cornering and acceleration so I prefer a bike that has great handling and enough stiffness without being too snappy," he said. "A 'cross bike doesn't need to be overly snappy because as soon as you push the pedals on a turn the bike will react. In the slow turns you can lose the handling of the bike."
Frattini's race machine starts life as a fully stock Cross RC complete bike, including the second-tier Shimano Ultegra component group – essentially the functional equivalent of Dura-Ace but a touch heavier. A collection of personal sponsors cleave off a good chunk of mass from the rest of the stock build's 8.7kg (19.14lb) figure, though, while also upping the performance ante.
Substitutions include a Rotor Ágilis compact crankset with matching Q-Ring 36/46T elliptical chainrings, FSA SL-K carbon bars and alloy stem, a radical looking Selle SMP Composit Carbon Rail saddle, and top-notch rolling stock in the shape of Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels and Gommitalia's lighter-edition Magnum Cross Performance 32mm-wide tubulars.
Frattini seems particularly fond of the new chainrings, though not for their purported efficiency advantages but rather their ability to maintain grip. "They work great. I felt weird when I started using it but soon after I really felt my spin was smoother and rounder, like I was always pushing," he said. "A more well-rounded, smooth spin without any dead spots improves your traction. In cyclo-cross it's important to have as much traction as possible."
Likewise, tyre pressure is carefully tuned based on course conditions to maximise grip. "I like to run low pressure and almost feel the tyre 'works' on the rim, which can be uncomfortable for a roadie to feel that kind of sensation," Frattini said.
"Usually I start the warm-up with two bars [29psi] and then manually take out some air until I feel comfortable on the corners. The amount of air I take out depends on the terrain: less if it's dry and more if it's muddy. It is really a feeling, not a number, based on the different courses. Basically I ride almost touching the rims and try to flow as much as possible."
Function over flash, form over fashion. While other competitors might lament having to use a heavier machine, Frattini's pragmatic approach seems to be serving him well. In this past weekend's Mercer Cup in West Windsor, New Jersey, Frattini finished fifth on Saturday and seventh – plus the holeshot – on Sunday.
"You don't really need the nicest or lightest or most expensive bike out there," he said. "For 'cross you should look more for a bike that is robust and strong and has good handling because that will excel your own handling skills and that is really what 'cross is about."

Transfer news: Premier League clubs chase Thomas Ince
Sky sources understand that Blackpool have given Thomas Ince permission to speak to a host of Premier League clubs.
Last Updated: 31/01/14 10:47am
Swansea have already held talks with the 21-year-old winger, who will travel to London on Tuesday morning to discuss terms with Crystal Palace.
Stoke, Hull and Sunderland have also been given permission to meet with the England Under-21 international.
However, it is believed that Liverpool have not joined the race for the player despite having the option to match any bid for him as part of the deal that took him from Anfield to Bloomfield Road in 2011.
Ince has risen to prominence as one of the best players outside the Premier League following his move to Blackpool.
Liverpool had looked at landing him last summer, and it was thought they may rekindle their interest following their failure to land Mohamed Salah, who rejected them in favour of Chelsea.
French giants Monaco also remain keen on Ince, who could move to the principality outfit for just a moderate compensation fee at the end of the season.
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup confirmed that he met with Ince on Monday, and put the case to him to move to south-west Wales.
"As far as I understand he has the okay from Blackpool so that is what he is doing," said Laudrup.
"I answered his questions as to how we do things here and that is what it is about but his contract is almost over and it is up to him what he wants to do."

Buddy is a dog - at least I think he is. Since arriving quite unexpectedly in my lap last May, the feisty, but happily rescued Yorkshire terrier has been a loyal, self-centered, demanding companion.
I am sure he knows a lot more than he lets on. At least I think so, if those disapproving looks he is prone to casting my way are any indication. Of course, those looks may be unspoken demands for dog-gie treats. I prefer to believe they are looks of understanding and agree-ment with my off-the-wall opinions. He barks and dances around when he wants food. So yes, I believe he is agreeing with me when he just stares at me.
Buddy came into my world via my friend Barbara, who knew I was in search of or perhaps just in need of a new canine companion.
You see Mister, my good and faithful sheltie, had died a little over two years ago after 13 years of steadfast devotion. Until I held Buddy I hadn't realized how much I missed Mister's quiet, peaceful presence at my side.
Buddy is never quiet, but he is always at my side. Buddy is rarely, if ever, real-ly calm. He is loyal and protective, just ask anyone who tries to sneak up on me. If he thinks I am threatened Buddy goes into high alert. It's a scary sight. Weighing a mere six pounds soaking wet, he can leap four feet into the air while barking incessantly. He is a sight to be admired when he gets started.
I think I fell in love with Buddy because he has an opinion. In fact, he has thoughts about everything that goes on in our little world. I know we share many of the same ideas about life and like me; Bud-dy is ready to share those thoughts.
So this week, Buddy and I are launching on an adven-ture to share our opinions about the state of things.
Take, for example, cats.
Buddy doesn't like them. I think they are okay, if they stay outside. Buddy doesn't like them in our yard, never mind letting them in the house. He goes on high alert when our four cats invade the house.
We're working on that.

Jota Sport will welcome one of Britain's most exciting young racing talents into its fold for the 2013 season after inking a deal with McLaren development driver Oliver Turvey.
The 25-year-old will join Jota Sport regular Simon Dolan in the team's Zytek-Nissan LMP2 for the full European Le Mans Series campaign while also contesting selected rounds of the FIA World Endurance Championship, including a planned assault on the Le Mans 24 Hours pending invitation from the ACO.
Penrith-born Turvey first rose to prominence in 2006 by winning the prestigious McLaren Autosport BRDC Award, marking him out as one of the most promising talents in motorsport and securing a test with the multiple world title-winning Formula 1 squad. Backed by the Racing Steps Foundation, his progress continued with a runner-up finish in the 2008 British F3 championship before race-winning campaigns in F1 feeder series Formula Renault 3.5 and GP2.
2011 saw Turvey take on an increased role at McLaren as he formed part of the development driver line-up for the MP4-12C GT3 project. In 2012 he was appointed a reserve driver for the British marque's iconic Formula 1 squad, testing the grand prix-winning MP4-27 in Abu Dhabi, while also continuing to undertake selected GT races in the MP4-12C.
Turvey joins Jota following a promising 2012 season for the British squad which saw a memorable LMP2 class victory at the 6 Hours of Spa and a spirited run at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Sam Hignett, Jota Sport Team Principal: "We are thrilled to start 2013 by announcing the signing of Oliver Turvey. Needless to say, it's fantastic to have secured a driver of his undoubted ability and pedigree.
"In particular, we are delighted to have gained Oliver's superb engineering knowledge and acumen. Despite his young age he can teach us a great deal, and I know that Simon as well as the technical team are eager to begin working with him.
"What's more, signing Oliver is a clear indication of Jota's ambition to succeed at the highest levels of world motorsport. By securing one of the most promising young talents available, we have made it clear that our goal for this year is to fight at the very front from the opening race and challenge for the championship."
Oliver Turvey: "I am thrilled and delighted to be joining Jota Sport for the 2013 season. I am extremely excited to begin working with the team and can't wait to get behind the wheel of the LMP2 car. I would like to thank Simon and Sam for putting their trust and support behind me. I look forward to a successful season with Jota Sport.
"I have been very impressed with both the facilities and preparation that Jota Sport have put towards the 2013 season and believe that we have a winning team ready to compete at the highest level.
"I would also like to thank Vodafone McLaren Mercedes for their continued support and allowing me to pursue this opportunity alongside my test driver role with the team. I am confident the experience I have working with one of the most successful teams in Formula 1 will benefit me in my preparations for LMP2."
Jota Sport remain in discussions with potential drivers for the third seat at the team and will make an announcement in due course. Their first racing engagement of the season will come on home turf when the European Le Mans Series opens at Silverstone on April 13.

Organizers of the upcoming Take a Soldier Fishing weekend at Ray Roberts Lake need boat owners to help out.
"We need all kinds of boats - bass, crappie, sand bass and catfish," organizer Lyndee Prieskop stated in a press release. "We also need pontoon boats.
"None of our soldiers signed up so far need any special assistance. Boaters just need to provide gear and safety equipment."
Take a Soldier Fishing is planned for the weekend of July 16 at the Isle du Bois Unit of Ray Roberts Lake State Park.
The family gathering is open to all veterans and active-duty military personnel and their families.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has donated campsites and park passes for the event, Prieskop said.
The fishing boats are needed for Saturday, July 16, with the first trip out planned around 7 a.m.
The event will be held at Pavilion No. 1 between the boat ramp and the beach.
Participants will include approximately 34 veterans who are scheduled to arrive by bus from Bonham that morning.
"We already have six times more signed up than we had in 2010," Prieskop said. "So we need help, please. We still have a few spots open for soldiers and their families, as well, because of a cancellation."
Fishing will continue until 11 a.m., when boat owners will trailer their boats for a small parade featuring the event's special guests.
"All boaters are invited to join us for breakfast and lunch," she said.
A motorcycle ceremony to honor the veterans and military personnel is also planned, and all riders are invited.
"I just want the soldiers and veterans to have a great time," Prieskop said.
Anyone interested bringing a boat to take a soldier fishing can sign up at www.takeasoldierfishing.org or contact Prieskop firstname.lastname@example.com or 940-458-0233.http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/drc/localnews/stories/DRC_Cockrell_Column_0707.430eae1a4.html

Police, probation and prison chiefs are calling on members of the public to help with the arrangements to manage sexual, violent and other serious offenders in the community.
Derbyshire Constabulary, the Derbyshire Probation Trust and the Prison Service, who are responsible for Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements in the county, are looking for a volunteer lay adviser to join the strategic management board which oversees the arrangements.
The volunteer is not expected to be an expert on the arrangements and no formal qualifications are necessary. But they will be expected to attend quarterly meetings.
Assistant Chief Constable Karl Smetham, chairman of the management board, said: "We all recognise the importance of public protection and lay advisers bring a valuable viewpoint from the communities in which they live and work.
"They make an important contribution to the safety of our communities."
One lay member, Liz Ramsay, already sits on the board. She has also worked at a women's refuge and at a hostel for former offenders in the past.
She said: "I would be really pleased to have another member of the public join me to help put forward the views and concerns of people who live and work in Derbyshire.

Analysis of Proposals for a Minimum Subordinated Debt Requirement
by William W. Lang and Douglas Robertson
Increasing the effectiveness of market discipline in regulated financial markets has emerged as a major policy issue for banking regulators. Perhaps the most prominent proposal for increasing market discipline is the proposal to require banks to issue publicly held subordinated debt. Subordinated debt holders can discipline banks either directly by demanding higher yields for riskier institutions or indirectly by means of market signals. This paper explores the fundamental rationale behind mandatory subordinated debt proposals, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the most prominent proposals. To more clearly focus the analysis, the paper concentrates on proposals for requiring publicly traded subordinated debt, and therefore our analysis is relevant only to relatively large institutions that can feasibly issue such securities. The paper does not consider the various alternative proposals for issuing subordinated debt specifically designed for small institutions.
Our analysis indicates that a subordinated debt requirement will only modestly increase the risk sensitivity of bank costs at most large banks; however, we argue that there are substantial benefits to using subordinated debt as a market-based trigger for regulatory action. While we favor a mandatory requirement to issue subordinated debt, such a requirement should not eliminate separate minimums for equity capital, as some proponents of subordinated debt suggest.
As with all OCC Working Papers, the opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Department of the Treasury.

Loyola alumnus wins Guinness World Record for motorcycle ride
Loyola press release - November 12, 2012
Loyola alumnus Edwin Escobar '97, right, received the Guinness World Record in a ceremony last year.
Last year, Loyola University New Orleans alumnus Edwin Escobar '97 embarked on a motorcycle ride mission to Central America's capital cities. Twenty-nine hours after his journey began, he finished with a world record and raised $52,000 for children's nutritional programs in El Salvador.
Escobar's journey to San José, Costa Rica; Managua, Nicaragua; Tegucigalpa, Honduras; San Salvador, El Salvador and Guatemala City, Guatemala, holds the Guinness World Record for the most country capitals traveled to continuously on a motorcycle.
The funds raised for the epic motorcycle ride benefitted 260 families in dire conditions in El Salvador. Each family received one rooster, nine hens and nutrition coaching and training to help manage and grow a small farm. The program typically lasts nine months, after which each family should have eggs and meat to eat and sell. Those families then encouraged to pay it forward and give another family a set of roosters and hens.
According to Escobar, his world record-breaking ride was both physically and mentally challenging. When Escobar arrived in San Salvador, his second-to-last capital city stop, he was cheered on by his wife, family and friends before heading to the last stop in Guatemala City. "Even though mentally I knew that I hadn't accomplished my goal yet, emotionally I got the charge that I needed for the last 224 kilometers left to ride," Escobar said.
But the most challenging part of the journey wasn't even during the event itself. "Yes, I was very tired at times, and at least three times I almost fell asleep on the motorcycle on tough roads," Escobar said, adding that the most challenging part was the preparation. In addition to preparing physically for the endurance ride, he had to coordinate the event and fundraise all while working a full-time job.
Escobar attributes his time at Loyola helping him prepare for the unique challenge. "The knowledge obtained through my degree in business administration was definitely helpful and instrumental in coordinating and structuring the different areas of this world record attempt, however more valuable than this knowledge was the exposure to different extracurricular activities and the diverse environment that I was exposed to during my years at Loyola University New Orleans."
