text: The Florida high school coaches who recoiled over Pat Kennedy's hiring by Florida State weren't the only ones shocked by the move. Despite published reports that indicated Kennedy would be hired, many basketball people in the South -- including some college coaches -- felt respected Chicago Bulls assistant Murray Arnold would get the nod. FSU, looking to juice up its program, opted for the more flashy Kennedy. One well-placed Metro Conference official, who requested anonymity, said, ''If they wanted somebody they thought could go out into the community and build the program, then Kennedy was their guy. But if they wanted the best coach, a straight X's and O's man, then Arnold was the guy.'' Kennedy's honeymoon could be a long one. The Seminoles are loaded with talent and have four starters returning, including sensational guard Pee Wee Barber and highly regarded forward Randy Allen. With any luck, FSU should make it to next year's NCAA Tournament.

It's Day 3 of my Card Sharing for the Be Brave: Create Hope Card Drive. If you missed my post from Monday and have no idea what this is all about, take a minute to click over and check out the details....HERE.
You can see the card and tutorial from Day 2 right HERE.
Today's card is a super fun one full of layers and lots of SPARKLE! Although the beauty of the sparkle is sometimes hard to convey in a still-life photo, so you'll have to just trust me on this one. Remember if you don't have these EXACT products, you can certainly adapt the stamping technique to any of the stamp sets that you do have on hand and come up with something just as lovely.
Here are today's instructions:
1. Cut one Whip Cream Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and fold in half to create 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base.
2. Stamp one large Dahlia Burst flower and one small Dahlia Burst flower onto Whip Cream cardstock using Black Licorice True Color Fusion Ink.
3. Stamp Ink Splat stamp over Dahlia Burst flowers to add a splash of color using Watermelon Fusion True Color Fusion Ink.
4. Stamp one large and one small leaf onto Whip Cream Cardstock using Black Licorice True Color Fusion Ink.
5. Die-cut stamped images using Dahlia Burst Die Set and Journey Grand or Journey Platinum Machine. (If you don't have a machine just detail cut just outside the stamped image)
6. Layer the small flower over the center of the large flower using a foam square and adhere the leaves to the back, right-hand side using Journey Craft Glue.
7. Apply Journey Glaze to portions of the petals and leaves and sprinkle lightly; first with Sparkle Cuts and then with Sparkle Dust. Set aside to dry while you finish the remaining steps.
8. Stamp card base with Postage Stamps in both the lower right corner and upper left corner using River Stone True Color Fusion Ink.
9. Stamp 'Hope' sentiment multiple times in the remaining white space using the same ink.
10. Apply a strip of Watermelon Fusion Polka-dotted Tape from the Bright Day Journey Tape to the
lower left and upper right sides of the card.
11. Die-cut a doily from Black Licorice Cardstock using the Doily Die Set and adhere to the center of the card base.
12. Once flower embellishment is dry, adhere to center of doily using Journey Craft Glue.
13. Finally, add three Sparkle Drops using Journey Glaze, as a final embellishment, so they form a visual triangle.
Have you made any cards for the Be Brave: Create Hope Card Drive? If so, link me up in the comments, I'd love to see your beautiful work!
Remember I will be back again tomorrow with a another tutorial. There is still time to participate. Saturday October 31st is the last day to get them in the mail to the Journey Station. :)

Here is a woven ring of Czech crystals hung on suede leather. Once again the wearer has more choice with each side being slightly different to the other. I like to create jewellery with multi choice. The length of the necklace is adjustable by pulling the suede and the slide at the back holds the desired length.
I am getting these ready for the Art Show at King's School, Parramatta, NSW.
I am having my first attempt at showing my designs
Friday August 26th, 6pm to 11pm,
Saturday August 27th, 10am to 5pm and
Sunday August 28th, 10am to 4pm.
I hope all goes well and I would really like to see some friendly, familiar faces at the show.
Come along and say hello and check out my latest work.

|This is the display of the game
|Wait, Bob. You mean we're using this leaf as a transport?
|Wooooo! I'm flyiiiiing!!
|Mice do the same. Wiiiiiiii
|Movement is made using these gauges
|Range attacks use the branch
|Birds can also engage in combat
|If none of them are dead, they turn back and leave some... tail feathers ;)
|Another combat. What would you call a dogfight between birds? Birdogfight? Hmmm
|Chirp chirp chirp
|In this case, trying to hit a bird from the ground. Unsuccessful
|Rodent infestation!
|A close turn to avoid stomping into the tree!
|Swoop attack! Quite a thing, trust me
|Reinforcements incoming!
|Ehhm... Black...hawk? down
|Blackcrow down at the most
|The rats take the central objective after taking the mice down
|As the bird goes by, the rat character jumps on it, now it's a transport unit!
|Mice unveil their mission: They put the rats nest under siege!
|Just in time!
|Surprise attack!
|Now things look like less crowded, don't they?
|The bird manoeuvres so the rat character can jump on the enemy nest
|In the meantime, mice have wiped the rats out
|So the bird leaves the mice infantry and flies to attack the rat on the central tree
|The other bird tries to defend the mice nest against the rat attack
|This is how it all looks like
|This is all happening so fast
|The bird kills the rat on the central tree
|Right, this all would look definitely better in colour, I know, I know
|In an unsuspected twist of events, mice take the enemy bird down
|Finally, when it all looked lost, the last rat succumbs

"Keeping Students First"
Welcome to Bahrain Bayan Primary School.
We are proud to offer families a fully-bilingual English and Arabic education in a private school setting. Here, students spend each and every day developing their reading, writing, and speaking skills in both languages. Mathematics and Science instruction fosters students' reasoning skills and connects to the world around them. We offer all students in grades one through five instruction in Art, Music, Technology and Physical Education.
At Bahrain Bayan Primary School, we know that our families depend upon us to also teach and model the Islamic values that are so much a part of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Our students celebrate Bahraini culture and history, as well as learn to practice the tenets of their Muslim faith. From weekly assemblies to special performances and national holidays, our students learn to be proud of their Bahraini heritage. We explicitly teach children the social and behavior skills they need to become caring, compassionate citizens, family members, and future leaders.
I have the privilege of leading a team of highly-skilled international educators and support staff members. Together we are committed to "keeping students first".
Mrs Dorothy Loveland,
Primary School Principal
The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book..
Meet our primary school educators who instill love of knowledge in our kids:
Throughout Primary School our curriculum is committed to students achieving mastery in both English and Arabic. Students spend half of each day in an Arabic classroom, and the other half in an English classroom.
Grade offerings throughout the primary program are based on the AERO standards in English, Math, and Science. These standards are aligned with research-based trends in worldwide curriculum development. AERO provides a framework for curriculum consistency across grades K-12 and for stability of curriculum.
Teachers collaborate and develop units of study grounded in the standards so that students experience complete, in-depth, and thorough learning.
Bahrain Bayan School also offers a strong Arabic curriculum and the required government syllabus in Social Studies, Religion, and Government. Music, Art, Technology and Physical Education also play a strong role in the curriculum.
All curricular offerings are supported by appropriately aligned resources and the school's library with a collection of 38,000 items (approximately 17,800 of those items in Arabic and 20,650 in English). Curricular experiences are supported through field trip opportunities throughout the primary years and an extensive after-school activities program is intentionally aligned to enhance the day time classroom curriculum.

May 29, 2014
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Senior Jordan Rispress and freshman LaMar Bruton qualified for quarterfinal heats in the 400-meter hurdles and 400-meter dash Thursday afternoon at the NCAA East Preliminaries in Jacksonville, Fla.
Rispress got the Buckeyes off to a good start in the day's first event on the track, the first round of the 400 hurdles. The Columbus native ran a personal-best time of 51.37 seconds to finish third in his heat and ninth overall, automatically qualifying for the quarterfinals scheduled for Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET. Quincy Downing of LSU finished the race in 50.54 seconds to record the best overall time of the day.
A personal-best time of 46.07 seconds advanced Bruton in the 400-meter run. A native of New Castle, Del., Bruton placed third in his heat and eighth overall. James Harris of Florida State ran the top time of the day in 45.58. The quarterfinals will take place Friday at a tentative time of 6:00 p.m.
Meanwhile, sophomore Blake Taneff and junior J.C. Murasky completed their seasons for the Buckeyes. Taneff placed 31st in the 10000-meter run and Murasky 43rd in the shot put.
Action at the East preliminaries continues Friday beginning at 5:00 p.m. with junior Julian Vann in the triple jump quarterfinal and sophomore Donovan Robertson in the 110-meter hurdle first round. Junior Timothy Faust looks to advance through the first round of the 200-meter dash at 8:25 p.m. while redshirt junior Jackson Neff runs in the 3,000-meter steeplechase quarterfinal at 8:50 p.m

(Update - 2007.07.28: I meant to reference in this entry Pierre Lindenbaum's post back in May Is there any XMP in scientific pdf ? (No), which btw also references Roderic Page's post on XMP but forgot to add in the links in my haste to scoot off. Well, truth is we still can't answer Pierre in the affirmative but at least we can take the first steps towards rectifying this.)
I've been revisiting Adobe's XMP just recently. (I blogged here about the new XMP Toolkit 4.1 back in March.)
I wanted to share some of my early experiences. First off, after a couple of previous attempts which got pushed aside due to other projects, I managed to compile the libraries and the sample apps that ship with the C++ SDK under Xcode on the Mac. I also needed to compile Expat first which doesn't ship with the distribution.
OK, so far, so good. What this basically leaves one with is a couple of XMP dump utilities (DumpMainXMP and DumpScannedXMP) and two others (XMPCoreCoverage and XMPFilesCoverage) which is a good start anyways for exploring. And turns out that our PDFs already have some workflow metadata in them. This is encouraging because the SDK allows apps to read and update existing XMP packets from files, though not to write new packets into files (as far as I understand).
I thought I would take this opportunity anyway to:
Try and add these to existing XMP packetsUgly details are presented below, but by updating the XMP packet metadata in one of our PDFs (Nature 445, 37 (2007), C.J. Hogan) we can teach Acrobat Reader to read - see the "before" (PDF here) and "after" (PDF here) screenshots in the figure.
Of course, this is really about much more than getting Adobe apps to read/write metadata. It's about using XMP as a standard platform for embedding metadata in digital assets for third-party apps to read/write. If we can put ID3 tags into our podcasts then why not XMP packets into other media?
First a brief digression on XMP packets, which look essentially like this:
<?xpacket begin="..." id="..."?> <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/"> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="..." xmlns:...> ... </rdf:RDF> </x:xmpmeta> ... XML whitespace as padding ... <?xpacket end="w"?> <rdf:RDF>" element which is optionally wrapped by an "<x:xmpmeta>" element. This XML fragment with trailing XML whitespace is topped and tailed by "<?xpacket>" processing instructions with "begin" and "end" attributes, respectively. The RDF supported is a simple profile of RDF with only certain constructs recognized: scalars, arrays, structures. It is not a means to embed arbitrary RDF/XML structures. But I'll pass on that for now. At first blush it's at least suitable to get a simple dictionary of key/value terms written in, and more besides. The XMP metadata from the PDF file listed above looks as follows in RDF/N3 (which is a more chipper serialization of RDF than is RDF/XML):
<uuid:...> dc:creator "x" ; dc:format "application/pdf" ; dc:title "19.7 N&V.indd NEW.indd"@x-default ; pdf:GTS_PDFXConformance "PDF/X-1a:2001" ; pdf:GTS_PDFXVersion "PDF/X-1:2001" ; pdf:Producer "Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 for Macintosh" ; pdf:Trapped "False" ; pdfx:GTS_PDFXConformance "PDF/X-1a:2001" ; pdfx:GTS_PDFXVersion "PDF/X-1:2001" ; xap:CreateDate "2007-07-16T09:25:20+01:00" ; xap:CreatorTool "InDesign: pictwpstops filter 1.0" ; xap:MetadataDate "2007-07-16T11:40:21+01:00" ; xap:ModifyDate "2007-07-16T11:40:21+01:00" ; xapMM:DocumentID "uuid:be3a9be5-4e3a-4b66-a50b-26f0a0bfc89d" ; xapMM:InstanceID "uuid:73dcd021-d40a-4cb7-a99b-44f8e90624f4" .
(Note: I've omitted namespaces here and dropped some of the structuring info that was present on the "dc:creator" and "dc:title" elements thus leaving all values as simple strings. Back to that in a bit. )
What this says is simply that all these properies expressed in key/value pairs apply to the current document denoted by the resource identifier "uuid:...", and terms are taken from the schemas indicated by the prefixes. So, for example, the term "creator" from the schema referenced by the placeholder "dc" (there is a namespace URI for this but I haven't shown it here) has the value "x" for this document, and so on.
So, salting away the media- and XMP-specific metadata, we are left with the following work metadata in our main XMP packet.
dc:creator "x" ;
dc:format "application/pdf" ;
dc:title "19.7 N&V.indd NEW.indd"@x-default ;
Not wildly impressive, i must admit. Ideally we would like to pump this up with a fuller descriptive and rights metadata set such as we routinely syndicate with our web feeds. This would make use of both DC and PRISM vocabularies. In RDF/N3 we might expect to see something like:
dc:creator "Craig J. Hogan" ;
dc:title "Cosmology: Ripples of early starlight" ;
dc:identifier "doi:10.1038/445037a" ;
dc:description "doi:10.1038/445037a" ;
dc:source "Nature 445, 37 (2007)" ;
dc:date "2007-01-04" ;
dc:format "application/pdf" ;
dc:publisher "Nature Publishing Group" ;
dc:language "en" ;
dc:rights "© 2007 Nature Publishing Group" ;
prism:publicationName "Nature" ;
prism:issn "0028-0836" ;
prism:eIssn "1476-4679" ;
prism:publicationDate "2007-01-04" ;
prism:copyright "© 2007 Nature Publishing Group" ;
prism:rightsAgent "firstname.lastname@example.com" ;
prism:volume "445" ;
prism:number "7123" ;
prism:startingPage "37" ;
prism:endingPage "37" ;
prism:section "News and Views" ;
So, taking this RDF and doing a quick and dirty substitution of it for the existing DC description in the PDF XMP packet (i.e. more or less "lobotomizing" the PDF) we then get an updated XMP packet which can be dumped with the DumpMainXMP utility as (with some schemas removed):

Full dumps of the "before" and "after" PDFs are available here:
DumpScannedXMP - before and afterNote also that in the dump above some of the DC terms are interpreted by the XMP toolkit to have structured formats, i.e. are recognized as array members, and have language and ordering attributes. This seems to be an artefact of the toolkit as the RDF did not specify these structurings. Note also that the PRISM values were not similarly interpreted as the PRISM schema is not registered with the toolkit.
Obviously, there's much more to be learned yet. I'll post an update to this later, but meantime it would be very interesting to get feedback from others on experiences they may have with XMP or any opinions they may want to share. I think it all looks very promising although tools are somewhat restricted.

It was a good run slower than usual but I had minimal expectations other than to just turn the legs over. But I went for a run into the bush just near where I live and I may well have been open a little to noticing the more inspiring elements of life, this day, as I was struck with real AWE by the views that I came across, I had not been to this particular place before although near by this track was a little bit different. A track noticable but looked disused for a while and was slightly over grown. But I will get to the significance of this later...
But the views were really nice and in the particular time of day they were just very peaceful and calming and left me with a sense of AWE as to the simple beauty around us all. We can generally choose to focus on the shittier items of our life so it was pleasant to actually catch myself enjoying the beauty..
Anyway I took a few pictures to share with you:
This was an issue and as I started to run away from this spot I sort of realised that I was just a little lost and had found myself with no path to follow. This was more than a little anxiety provocing actually as I had thoughts of an entire SES search party out for me and me having to spend a night out in the bush in the cold.
The issue worsened as it progressively got darker and the area in which I was quite rocky and ledgy (eg if not careful I would fall off a ledge.
It was in this moment that I realised I had an opportunity to work through this emotion and gain a learning opportunity.
I was while there remembering an article I had read the previous day about the the learning opportunities that are available when we are faced with challenge.
For me the learning was the ability and need to control my emotions to allow myself to think in a rational manner to get myself out of the situation.
I am here writing this BUT it was a challenge but I can now take that memory with me that I CAN work through challenge and succeed. I also took it that this experience can be added to my bank of memories of times that I have experienced challenge and adversity and came out the other end with greater Grit and determination.
I must say that the experience of moving through adversity really gave me a pep in my step on the run home. But I still had time to admire the simple pleasures and during this time of apparent peace and joy of the Xmas season I really took delight in viewing the various Xmas lights that people had placed on their houses. And I took some more pictures for you. Sorry it is not the best example.....

If Chelsea were to abruptly sink into the Hudson this fall, the city's main art scene would be south of Houston again. The New Museum of Contemporary Art won't open at 235 Bowery until December 1, but it's already anchoring a scene that's scrappier and more eclectic than the West Twenties. Behind the twenty-odd downtown galleries that will be competing for your Saturday are hardened Soho nonprofit veterans, heat-seeking Williamsburgers, uptown art advisers, It girls, and one big Chelsea dealer (so far).
It's not the first time the museum has filled this role. When it opened on lower Broadway in 1983, director Lisa Phillips recalls, the area was almost dangerous. We really helped to attract galleries and retail, and we thought, Let's do that again. Inside the shimmery new building will be a theater, three full-floor exhibit spaces, and a glass gallery dedicated to founder Marcia Tucker. The first show, Unmonumental, is an on-trend look at assemblage, that homely approach to artmaking. It perfectly fits this stretch of the Bowery, where all the condos in the world can't quite erase the shabbiness. It has such a different character from Chelsea, says Phillips. I don't think it will ever be like that.

Lesson Learnt
next time when someone hands over u a job which doesn't belong to you, never take it!
else u're gonna have more troubles and fires.
to think of it, why couldn't that person pass that specific job to u? or is it known problematic already? i'm such a naive person, but it's ok, i've learn my lesson. No next time.
Hi Peter,
The mgt has decided to maintain the schedule for the pressure gauge calibration.
There will be no change for the schedule .

sien....to save any trouble, she insist on following the earlier scheduled plan without further discussing with the team. damn her....there goes my saturday afternoon, nite, and sunday.
c&c 4,anyone?
juz finish dl'ed my sc2 beta cracked version with AI maps, wakakaka~~ gonna play tonite, hope it's playable.. gonna see wat blizzard so great about.... at the meantime, i saw this game c&c 4 tiberian twilight when i was reading newspaper this noon and it stirs my interest up once again as c&c game has always being one of my fav strategy game.
so after i dl'ed my sc2, i source for c&c 4's reviews and disappointingly, the reviews are as bad as a rotten bread grown with malicious fungus ready to be thrown away, nope should be incinerated instead. c&c's performance has being deteriorating ever since it's first release, and yet they produced a disappointment for their final c&c series. gg!
yikes, luckily blizzard is still on my top list company for gaming, and i'm sooooooo keen for d3 to be released!! year 2011? hope it doesn't drag til 2012.

sports, in my opinion...
"I used to play badminton a lot, but that was 10 years ago when i was still fit and young. . . "
"i'd played rugby, but now with my kids around, i could hardly find time to play, and it's even harder for me and my friends to slot in time for sports as we have our own family to manage..."
"That was the good old days when we still have the energy to run here and there, stunts and fakes, now it's just simple move that helps us to sweat a little... "
I ate with some manager levels ppl that day when i'm out with a customer, all i can hear are as mentioned above, and it's kinda sad when i can see their faces turn a little bit down reminiscing all the deeds they do when they were young.
How many more years can we still enjoy sports to the fullest? as in, in fit to do every stunts, all the moves, and not mourning about getting old and rust? 10 years? 15 years? I dun wanna be like any of them, regretting that they had miss out such fun. i wanna enjoy to the fullest before i get old.
last nite kinda fun~ i realised i gained back some agility, not much but at least some, when i blocked numerous times and even steal twice XD. Tho my stamina and shooting cum personal strength are still lacking, but i'm determined to improve back to the old times, of coz through more frequent exercises. I simply love sports. I realli do. =)

worn out march
time flies whenever one is busy...
now is alreadi 26th of march 2010, and here i'm finally let loose a little bit.
Today no field trips/site cal or watever u like to call it, i was assigned to read some procedures specifically today due to the responsibility i held in my hand for handling the PT testing from NML ( National Metrology Laboratory ). I'm also being assigned to do the hardest calibration ( as far as i'm know ) on dimensional part which is to calibrate block gauges. I understand the importance of upholding such jobs as i was told to acquire approve signatory from Standards of Malaysia by this coming august.
Given work over time, i've long discarded the projects given on DMM and Spectophotography. I think i'm gonna get screwed for not being able to obtain accreditation, for particularly this two. Well i hope A-company will help me with one of the scopes in return of favor that we helped them last time.
I've been working in and out, not being able to stay in my own lab for almost 3 weeks, and i'm kinda worn up until there's a time i even think of giving up this job. I'm so glad today's friday, that i can put away all these for a rest for 2 days during weekend.
Realli looking forward for the retreat this coming june, hopefully we all can rest our mind peace.
friday friday~~~ wee~~

Light to moderate pressure is developing in live cattle and feeder cattle futures. This is creating some longer-term uncertainty if firm buying will return to the complex next week.
Firm pressure has developed in cattle trade due to limited trade volume and traders focusing on backing away from the market gains which developed Thursday. The yo-yo style of market shifts seen through the second half of the week is creating some additional volatility for live cattle and feeder cattle markets. Hog futures have firmed with the majority of interest seen in deferred contract months.
Corn prices are lower in light trade Friday. July corn futures are 4 cents lower. Stock markets are higher in light trade. The Dow Jones is 88 points higher while Nasdaq is up 6 points.
Losses are starting to develop through live cattle trade midday Friday, as early morning market stability seems to be more uncertain. The pullback in live cattle futures has created some underlying market pressure in live cattle futures with August futures leading the market lower with an 80 cent per cwt loss.
This overall pressure is not expected to create widespread market changes in the complex, but with traders pulling back from early-week gains, the softness in futures trade is likely to affect market fundamentals in the coming weeks.
Cash cattle trade appears to be an afternoon affair Friday with sluggish bid activity redeveloping through the morning Friday. Live bids are seen at $108 per cwt while dressed bids in the North are posted at $170 to $175 per cwt. Asking prices are generally holding firm at $114 to $115 live, and $182 dressed. But this still leaves a wide gap between asking prices and bids before the end of the day.
Boxed Beef cut-outs at midday are lower, $0.41 lower (select) and down $1.86 per cwt (choice) with light movement of 45 total loads reported (23 loads of choice cuts, 16 loads of select cuts, no loads of trimmings, 6 loads of ground beef).
Moderate late-week losses have developed in feeder cattle trade as traders seem to be less focused about long term market direction, than trying to adjust positions at the end of the week. The firm gains seen Thursday has helped to bring some needed stability to the market following midweek losses. Traders seem willing to hover in a moderate range following the volatility seen over the last couple of sessions.
Prices were mixed early Friday morning, but have settled in a moderately lower trading range with prices 40 to 50 cents lower in most contract months. This is not expected to change the overall direction of the market, but more focused on trade adjustments Friday.
Strong gains have redeveloped Friday with deferred contracts posting strong triple digit market moves during the first few hours of trade. The aggressive technical pressure seen during the last couple of weeks has allowed traders to take advantage of the oversold status of the market and re-own positions before the end of the week.
July futures remain lightly traded and unchanged at midday, while most of the focus in August futures is holding moderate gains as traders still remain concerned with current fundamental situations.
Cash prices are lower on the National Direct morning cash hog report. The weighted average price is down $0.71 at $74.34 per cwt with the range from $67.00 to $74.66 on 3,745 head reported sold.
Cash prices are lower on the Iowa/Minnesota Direct morning cash hog report. The weighted average price is down $0.81 at $72.72 per cwt with the range from $67.00 to $73.50 on 610 head reported sold.
The National Pork Plant Report posted 163 loads selling with carcass values gaining $1.13 per cwt. Lean hog index for 7/11 is at $81.26 down 0.26 with a projected two-day index of $80.91, down 0.35.

Much has been made about Manchester United's attacking threat in recent weeks. Louis van Gaal's men have gone over five hours since their last goal and their approach play has been pedestrian and lethargic at best.
Wayne Rooney's selection as the lone striker has been a topic of debate all season, and, despite showing signs of promise in the win over Everton, the tactical decision has largely flattered to deceive.
The 30-year-old has been slated for his recent performances and it seems United fans are growing frustrated with Anthony Martial's continued role on the left-flank.

Despite his goals drying up somewhat the Frenchman has performed admirably, never shirking his defensive responsibility and offering United's most potent threat in attack.
However, it is clear to see that Martial is wasted on the flank. Even Van Gaal knows that is not his best position.
With Memphis Depay struggling for form, it was clear to see why the United boss altered Martial's position. But with Ashley Young now back to full fitness, it's high time he made another alteration.
The English winger has had to make do with a bit-part role this season and has only made two starts in the Premier League. But having recovered from a calf strain that kept him out of action for almost a month, he is the perfect option to United's lack of pace and penetration.
His form last season showed a side of Young that United fans had never seen before. He scored two goals, assisted five and produced five man of the match performances in just 23 league starts.
If he can reproduce his form of the 2014/15 campaign then he can be the answer to United's current issue.
The experiment of Rooney upfront has well and truly failed. There is no doubt it's time for Martial to be reintroduced. We all know that; it's just whether LvG will listen.
The England captain would be much more suited to a role behind his teenage teammate and the pace of Young and Martial would offer United a new-found dynamism in attack.
Young's ability to cross the ball will also add another dimension to their play, something that has been missing in recent weeks and could help Rooney rediscover his scoring form.
Should Ashley Young start on the left with Anthony Martial playing through the middle against CSKA Moscow? Have your say in the comments section below
