This Man Dressed up as Serial Killer Michael Myers to Propose to his Terrified Girlfriend
Heartwarming, Womens Life,
Marriage proposals are seen as the For most people, being confronted on the street by a man dressed as a serial-killing villain would provoke a fight or flight response, but for one horror-obsessed woman and her thoughtful boyfriend, it was the scene of a perfect proposal.
Alec Wells, 30, knew that he wanted to do something extra special when it came time to pop the question to his girlfriend Katherine Canipe, also 30. And, given that the two are based in Los Angeles, he decided that he would lure her to the nearby setting of her favorite film to stage the surprise.
‘Katherine is a complete horror movie fanatic,’ Alec told Daily Mail Online. ‘She hosts a podcast about horror movies called, Boys and Ghouls and John Carpenter’s Halloween is her favorite movie of all time.
So, with the south California setting in place, Alec also decided to complete the experience by dressing as the villain from the movie – Michael Myers – and reenacting one of the film’s most terrifying scenes before dropping his knee to propose.
‘It seemed only natural – given that we live so close to the original filming locations – that her proposal come from Michael Myers himself!’ he explained.
For the actual proposal – which was filmed by friends of the couple unbeknownst to Katherine – Alec took inspiration from the famous scene in the 1978 film that sees Michael step out from behind a hedge in front of Jamie Lee Curtis’ character as she walks down the street.
‘It’s such an iconic moment in the film – the first time Michael materializes mere feet away from Jamie Lee Curtis’ character,’ he said. ‘It’s scary and surreal; just the way I wanted to proposal to feel. That sequence was also filmed on the very street where I proposed, so it was kismet.’
Alec’s video of the moment, filmed back when he staged the proposal in October 2014, begins with cutaway clips from Halloween, including shots of scream queen Jamie Lee with Nick Castle as Michael Myers lurking in the background.
Then, Alec is seen on the corner of the ‘Halloween street’ in Pasadena, California, where the movie was filmed.
He’s wearing thick gloves, a jumpsuit and the mask made famous by the serial killer character.
As the creepy theme music from the movie plays, Katherine is seen happily walking down the street, singing with two male friends.
As Alec steps out from behind a wall on the corner, Katherine yelps in surprise and puts her hand to her mouth.
But, instead of running away or fighting the figure, she grins and paces down to where Alec has disappeared back behind the wall.
When she comes to the corner, she sees Alec crouched down with the ring in his hand. He removes the mask and she bursts into tears.
After a few sobs, Katherine says ‘yeah!’ followed by: ‘Are you serious?’ Then, Alec helps her to her feet and the couple embrace.
The idea is made all the more adorable by the fact that Alec knew his love well enough to know that she would not run, nor try to punch him after he jumped out as he did in the video.
‘It’s not easy to scare Katherine,’ he explained. ‘Any time she goes into a haunted house, she seeks out the scares (while I hide behind her back).’
Friends and family agreed with Alec: it was the perfect plan. According to him, it was only his coworkers – who didn’t know Katherine – ‘who thought my proposal idea was…a little creepy’.
‘Despite their reaction, I stuck to my idea, and I’m glad I did!’
However, he did recognize that Katherine is simply not like other people – including those living in the neighborhood who saw him lurking the streets in the infamous get-up.
‘I did get several terrified looks from neighbors who I’m convinced went home and called 911,’ he said.
Despite being filmed nearly a year ago, Katherine only recently decided to share the video with more than just her closest friends and family.
‘It took me 10 months to get un-embarrassed enough to show anyone but close family and friends this engagement video,’ she wrote on Facebook Tuesday. ‘Hello, ugly crying. The cat’s out of the bag, now, though – be gentle! Oh, and Happy Halloween. It’s August, so I can say that, right?’
She also posted the video to Reddit, where it quickly gained hundreds of thousands of views. There, she also shared the couple’s incredible engagement photo, which is similarly inspired by a movie: Back to the Future. The post has since been viewed on Imgur over 2.7 million times.
‘My fiancé knows how much I love Halloween, so when it came time to propose, he dressed up as Michael Myers and jumped out at me with a ring,’ Katherine wrote. ‘Perfect proposal. Sooooooo, when it came time to take an engagement photo, I let him decide what we were going to do. GREAT SCOTT, it turned out well!’
The fantastic photo – taken by photographer Ricky Middlesworth – shows the couple dressed as characters Marty McFly and Doc Brown in the style of the Back to the Future and the Back to the Future II film posters – looking as if they are about to step into the film’s iconic DeLorean car.
This choice of homage, as it turns out, is just as thought out as the Halloween-themed proposal.
‘Back to the Future is my favorite movie of all time,’ said Alec. ‘How could it not be – it’s a flawless movie.
Katherine and I decided, since the proposal was done in the style of her favorite movie, it was only fitting that our engagement photos be an homage to my favorite.
‘Ricky Middlesworth helped pull together a shot that I hope would make [director] Robert Zemeckis proud.’

NXT NEWS
Bobby Lashley reveals his dream NXT opponent
by SIMONE BRUGNOLI | VIEW 194
During Bobby Lashley's first tenure with WWE, he was a two-time ECW World Champion and one-time United States Champion. Lashley is also known for his work in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling/Impact Wrestling, where he was a four-time TNA/Impact World Champion, a one-time X Division Champion, and one-time and final King of the Mountain Champion.
After returning to WWE in 2018, Lashley would become a two-time Intercontinental Champion. Between WWE and TNA/Impact, Lashley has won a total of eleven championships, six of those eleven being world championships, and has also headlined multiple pay-per-view events.
During a long interview with Sportskeeda, Lashley revealed his dream NXT opponent: “Lio! [laughs] Because, you know, there’s something there. There’s something there. Of course, Lio can’t just wrestle me by himself because I’m now contradicting everything that I said before but he needs a plan and ultimately he needs to execute that plan.
Here’s the thing, there are a bunch of other people I don’t want to start pointing out different people because that will turn into a point of, “Oh! Bobby called him out,” and I don’t want that to be… I’m going to leave it with Lio.
On the same token, I think this Survivor Series could turn out to be something really cool if they have the right teams. I would like to see the teams who compete. The RAW team, it’s like, who are you picking for the RAW team? Are you picking the guys that you know are going to win the match for you or are we back to, ‘Oh, this guy’s cool, he might be popular, he might make the match look cool.’ Then NXT and SmackDown, I don’t know how they’re going to put those matches together."

The Saudi government is aiming to confiscate cash and other assets worth as much as $800 billion in its broadening crackdown on alleged corruption among the kingdom’s elite, according to people familiar with the matter.
Several prominent businessmen are among those who have been arrested in the days since Saudi authorities launched the crackdown on Saturday, by detaining more than 60 princes, officials and other prominent Saudis, according to those people and others.

Islam teaches death for gays says Islamic chaplain associated with Vanderbilt University
More on the Islamic chaplain at Vanderbilt University, Awadh Binhazim, who says Islam teaches gays should be put to death and he has no choice but to believe it. I wonder what he is teaching his charges at Vandy.
Video footage from a small Vanderbilt event earlier this week has spread across the Internet.
“Common Ground: Being Muslim in the Military,” an event designed to explore the involvement in Muslims in the military earlier this week, resulted in heated exchanges between a Muslim chaplain at Vanderbilt and the vice president of the national Youth for Western Civilization organization.
The dialogue between junior Devin Saucier and Vanderbilt chaplain Awadh Binhazim that occurred at Monday’s event has become the source of campus and Web-wide controversy. The video has appeared on several blogs such as Jihad Watch, Bare Naked Islam and Youth for Western Civilization. The video has received 1,612 views on YouTube.
The presentation, sponsored by the Muslim Student Association, ROTC and Project Dialogue, sought to “bring fact and knowledge to a media storm through discussion and open dialogue,” said Project Dialogue coordinator Emily Stewart.
Tensions ran high earlier this week when the Muslim Students Association and the Army and Navy ROTC paired to bring information to the student body regarding the issue of Muslims in the military.Much of the online discussion concerns remarks made by Binhazim, who suggested that he, as part of his religion, would support the death of individuals involved in homosexual acts.
“Given the recent controversy surrounding homosexuals in the military, under Islamic laws if a homosexual engaged in homosexual acts, then the punishment under Islamic law would be death,” Saucier said. “As a practicing Muslim, do you accept or reject this particular teaching of Islam?”
“I don’t have a choice to accept or reject teachings,” Binhazim responded. “I go with what Islam teaches.”
In a phone conversation following the event, Binhazim expressed his regret that the focus had been taken off Muslims in the military.
“(Saucier) came with his own agenda. He asked a question that was irrelevant to the theme of the night,” Binhazim said.
Saucier admitted to attending the event with his own agenda in a Youth for Western Civilization blog entry on Jan. 27: “When I saw that the Muslim Students Association was hosting an event titled ‘Common Ground: Being Muslim in the Military,’ which was sponsored by the Project Dialogue committee, I knew it would be ripe grounds for me to expose the gullibility of leftists who grovel at the altars of tolerance and acceptance.”
He, however, disputed the accusation of irrelevance in a phone conversation.
“Given the recent controversy surrounding homosexuals in the military, I thought homosexuality, the nature of Islam and the military was a particularly complex issue,” Saucier said. “I thought Binhazim would present the good, the bad and the ugly. Instead, his presentation was flowers and butterflies.”
Binhazim, however, calls for perspective.
“As Muslims, we don’t just go around killing gays. That is a ridiculous misconception,” Binhazim said. “There is a set of strict criteria that must be met before this punishment is enforced. The rule is in place to promote the Muslim values of family. Even in rare cases where all criteria is met, it is even rarer for this conclusion to be reached.”
In an e-mail exchange, Binhazim disapproved of the press the exchange has received.
“I don’t want that one question to overtake the entire purpose of why that event was done and the presentation. Many positive things came out of the gathering we had,” he said. “One question for 10 or 20 seconds could not take away that whole hour.”
Wow, hate to ruin his whole hour but his beliefs, if implemented, could ruin the lives of many. Moral disagreement is one thing, the death sentence is another.
Will this make any entrance into the national media? I do not understand if it doesn’t. I suspect a Christian chaplain at a major university rightly would be the subject of intense scrutiny. I can’t find much of anything on this beyond a few conservative blogs and the Vanderbilt University press.
Here again is the video of the exchange between the student and Binhazim.

Trendy diets! High protein, no carbs, forget the sugar... Can they spiral out of control?
By: Tracy Wujack
Fad diets are nothing new. We all want the quick fix to lose the weight fast. For some, these trendy diets can lead to dangerous and potentially deadly disorders.
Low carb, high protein, clean eating, and deleting sugar are all new diet trends. Some of these are eliminating or adding a specific food group, and it could be doing more harm than good.
"It started off as healthy, but slowly (it) really turned into me being obsessed with it and it really went downhill really quickly," said 16-year-old Mackenzie Foy.
Today, teens are all over social media and so are the dangerous diet trends. Mackenzie and her friends were all trying the latest and greatest diet fads.
However, Mackenzie's mother, Deborah, never worried about her because she appeared to be eating healthy, until her appearance drastically changed.
"I remember being in the dressing room with her and it just hit me," Deborah said. "Like, this isn’t healthy anymore."
After Deborah made an emergency appointment for Mackenzie at the pediatrician, the teen was immediately admitted to the hospital. After getting her up to a healthy weight, she was released from the hospital and that’s when the real recovery began.
"Eating disorders can be incredibly isolating illnesses," says Clinical Psychologist Kristine Vazzano. "The environment alone doesn't cause eating disorders, but it certainly perpetuates it and sometimes can be that tipping point."
Vazzano and her business partner, Nutritionist Patrizia Jesue, opened the Center for Eating Disorders Assessment, Recovery and Support Group, also known as CEDARS . The center offers psychological therapy, meal support classes, art and yoga and it's all under one roof.
"We kind of look at ourselves as a community, and so our patients will come in and they talk to each other and we really try to make this a safe place," Vazzano said.
Eating disorders don’t just affect teens, CEDARS is seeing adults dealing with the issue more now than ever. The trends of increasing a specific food group like meat or protein are causing a breakdown in overall health.
"Some of the health effects of that are kidney issues, urology issues because the body just can’t process all the protein that we are thinking we need to consume," says Nutritionist Patrizia Jesue.
Laurie Jablonski of Warren has seen her weight yo-yo her whole life. She is in recovery and a patient at CEDARS.
"There was many, many, many, many diets," Jablonski said. "And I was diagnosed with anorexia."
For adults like Jablonski, there aren't many resources.
"There’s not a lot of resources for adult clients, further, they can’t go away to treatment; they have families, they have jobs." Jesue said.
Jesue added that people need to know that diets don’t work, they have a 95 percent fail rate and we spend $60 billion a year on dieting.
At CEDARS, they work with patients on an overall recovery plan and their psychological relationship with food.
"There’s no right or wrong food," Jesue said. "We neutralize all the foods so that broccoli isn’t on a pedestal and cake is demonized,"
The FDA recommends maintaining a balanced diet for weight loss and the general rule is to see your doctor before starting any diet.
As for Jablonski, she is on her way to a healthier life.
"I need to come first and I need to take care of myself, so I can take care of my family," she said.

The Minish Cap Story
Spoiler Alert! This This section contains plot details for The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. describes a subject that is sensitive to plot development.
In this 12th installment of the Zelda series, Link is a simple child living in Hyrule raised his grandfather. Link is also a long time friend of the princess of Hyrule, Zelda. Zelda and Link leave Link's House to go to a festival being held in the northward Castle Town. There, they both indulge in the local booths, before heading off to Hyrule Castle, for the traditional Picori Festival. When they arrive, the ceremony is about to start. The entire act is a celebration of the legendary Picori Blade, a sword that vanquished all evil, and locked it inside of a box, sealed with the blade itself. One ordinary Hylian is allowed to touch the sacred sword annually. This year's chosen participant is Vaati. As he approaches the blade, he removes his disguise as an average man to reveal that he himself is an evil sorcerer who believes that the box holds the Light Force, a gift from the Minish said to hold immense power. He immediately moves to free the Light Force from the box that the Picori Blade seals. As the guards of Hyrule Castle rush to neutralize him, he blows them away with his magic. Link bravely tries to protect Zelda, but he is knocked aside and Zelda is turned into stone. With all capable people neutralized, Vaati breaks the Picori Blade that sealed the box, releasing all the evils back into the world. However, the Light Force is nowhere to be found, and Vaati runs off. After the debacle is finished, the King, his remaining guards, and Link retreat to the castle's throne room. Here, the king informs Link of the story of the Picori Blade. The sword had been crafted by the Minish, a race of miniature humanoids, that have not interacted with humans for some time. They crafted the blade to stop the evil forces covering the land at the time. A great hero, the Hero of Men, had used the sword to save the world. Over time, the name "Minish" had fallen out of favor, and the Minish became known as the Picori. The Picori only appear in the human world once every hundred years. The king tells Link that he must get the Picori to reforge the blade, so that he can defeat the evil sorcerer. The king continues to inform Link that only children are said to now be able to see the Picori. Link is sent into the Minish Woods with the broken Picori Blade, as well as a sword given to him by the blacksmith. After wandering around aimlessly in the forest for some time, and coming to a dead end, Link hears a scream for help. He ventures once more through the Woods, and comes to the victim he heard yelling. It appears to be a small green hat with a bird head located at the top of it, and is being attacked by Octoroks. Link proceeds to save the hat, who takes a liking to Link, and decides to follow him around. He reveals that his name is Ezlo and, like Link, is also looking a way to break a curse placed upon him by Vaati. Unable to keep up with Links strong pace, Ezlo decides to sit upon Link's head, and this is where he stays for the remainder of the adventure.
While in Minish Woods, Link comes across an unassuming tree stump. Ezlo tells Link that by standing on it, he can be miniaturized. Link does so and is instantly shrunk to the size of the Minish. This way, Link is now able to enter the Minish Village, the home of the forest Minish. As he arrives, he is greeted with strange looks by the Minish, who have never seen any human of their size, let alone any human at all. Because the Minish speak a language unknown to humans, Link sets out to look for a Minish who speaks Hylian.
Link finds the mayor of the town, who is an self-proclaimed expert in humans, and tells them that by eating a Jabber Nut, they can understand the language of the Minish. Link consumes one found growing in a house made out of a barrel. With the new ability to understand the Minish language, Link can now converse with the denizens of Minish Village. Link is told to see the village elder.
The Elder tells Link that he must find the Four Elements, crystalline forms of Earth, Fire, Wind and Water, if he wishes to reforge the Picori blade. By infusing the four Elements with the Picori Blade, the sword's power will return. Link is told that the first Element resides within the Deepwood Shrine, a Minish construction located north of the Village. Fighting his way through the hordes of enemies now in the sanctuary, Link reaches the location of the first element. However, he is engaged by a Green Chu, really an ordinary ChuChu that is only giant relative to Link's current size. After defeating the monsterous Chu and obtaining the Earth Element, Link then returns to the elder. The elder tells Link to seek out a Minish by the name of Melari, a master swordsmith living at the summit of Mt. Crenel.
After the arduous hike up the mountain, Link meets Melari and his assistants. Melari starts to repair the Picori Blade, leaving Link to find the Fire Element, which is located within the Cave of Flames, a human mine long abandoned. When Link enters the mine, it is revealed that Mt. Crenel is volcanic in nature; lava pools are located deep within the mine. The monster Gleerok guards the Fire element. Link defeats Gleerok and obtains the Fire Element, which he takes back to Melari. When Link returns to Melari, Melari is just about done reforging the blade into the White Sword. Melari then tells Link to find the Elemental Sanctuary in order to fuse the power of the two Elements Link currently has with the White Sword. The Elemental Sanctuary is revealed to be located within Hyrule Castle.
While Link is traveling to Hyrule Castle, Vaati breaks into Hyrule Castle and impersonates King Daltus while imprisoning the real king. Vaati, as the king, orders the Hyrulean military to search for the Light Force and lock down the castle.
After avoiding the guards in Hyrule Castle, Link makes it into an inner courtyard. At the wall opposite the door to the courtyard, Link notices a strange, glowing doorway which only he and Ezlo can see. Link enters the doorway and finds the Elemental Sanctuary behind it. Link infuses the blade with the Earth and Fire elements. Suddenly, a giant stone slab appears behind Link. Ezlo translates the writing on the slab for Link. The slab tells of the true power of the blade, which can create up to four duplicates of the wielder of the sword. However, since the sword only contains the power of two Elements, Link can only be duplicated into two clones.
As Link steps outside the walls of Hyrule Castle, he comes across Vaati, who attempts to kill Link by creating an barrier and unleashing two Moblins within the barriered area. Once Link defeats the two monsters, Ezlo tells his backstory, revealing his relationship with Vaati.
In truth, both Elzo and Vaati were Minish. Ezlo was a powerful sorcerer and Vaati was his apprentice. Elzo had created a cap that could grant the wishes of its wearer in order to bring gifts upon the humans. However, Vaati, seeking power and authority, stole the cap from Ezlo and turned himself into a powerful mage. When Ezlo tried to talk Vaati out of stealing the cap, Vaati used his new powers to turn his master into a helpless hat.
After this unfortunate revelation, Link continues on his way to find the Wind Element, located within the Fortress of Winds, a set of ruins left by a long-forgotten civilization located across the Castor Wilds. In order to traverse the treacherous mud flats of the Castor Wilds, Link obtains the Pegasus Boots, which allow him to dash across the mud with ease. After traversing the swamp, Link enters an area of dry land filled with ruins and several Armos, which Ezlo reveals are ancient robotic servants of the Minish. Several of the Armos block Link's path, so he shrinks using the Minish portals in the area and turns the statues on. making them move away from the path. The path leads Link to the Fortress of Winds, where Link fights the guardian of the ruins, the ancient machine Mazaal. However, after Mazaal is defeated, the Wind Element is nowhere to be found. Instead, Link obtains the Ocarina of Wind, a magical instrument that allows the user to call upon the bird Zeffa to carry him or her to certain locations in Hyrule.
Link then looks for clues to where the Wind Element is located. In the process, Link learns about the location of the Water Element, located within the Temple of Droplets. However, to enter the Temple of Droplets, Link must be able to swim, which he currently cannot. Link seeks Librari, a Town Minish who is said to have entered the Temple. When Link enters the library where Librari is located, he learns that the path to Librari is blocked by holes left by overdue books. Link finds the overdue books and returns them. He finally reaches Librari, who tells Link about a treasure that allows people to swim. Librari then drops Link into a secret grotto below the library. After Link defeats the monsters within the grotto, he finds the Flippers, which allow him to swim without drowning.
With the Flippers in hand, Link can now swim in Lake Hylia in order to reach the Temple of Droplets. The Temple of Droplets acts as a large Minish Portal, which Link uses to shrink and enter the Temple's depths.
When Link enters, he finds the inside of the Temple completely frozen. Link finds the Big Key very early on in the dungeon; he enters the boss room to find a Big Octorok the guardian of the Temple, frozen inside a block of ice, along with the Water Element. Link then traverses the entire dungeon in order to open the boss room to sunlight and melt the ice. After melting the ice, the Big Octorok attacks Link, but Link successfully defeats it and obtains the Water Element.
When Link exits the Temple, the ghost of King Gustaf appears to him and tells him to come to his grave, located within the Royal Valley. After Link enters the Royal Crypt, Gustaf gives him a golden Kinstone piece to unlock the way to the Wind Element, now located high above Hyrule. Link fuses Kinstones with a mysterious wall near Veil Falls, opening a portal to the Cloud Tops. Link traverses the treacherous cloud layers, reaching the Tower of Winds, the residence of the extant members of the ancient Wind Tribe, who guard the entrance to the Palace of Winds, where the Wind Element is located.
Link is directed by several of the Wind Tribe members to the top of the Tower of Winds, which takes Link to the Palace of Winds. He traverses the Palace to find the Wind Element, which had been taken by the Gyorg Pair, a group of two manta ray-like flying monsters. Link defeats the two Gyorgs in a high-altitude battle and obtains the elusive Wind Element. Link then makes his way back to Hyrule Castle, where he fuses the Wind Element with the White Sword. After fusing all four Elements, the White Sword becomes known as the Four Sword. The power of the Four Sword allows Link to access a hidden room with a large stained-glass window, where it is revealed that Princess Zelda had the Light Force within her all this time. Link exits the Sanctuary to find that Vaati had impersonated the king. Vaati then knocks Link unconscious. Link finds himself outside the castle. He enters again, only to find that the castle had been completely transformed into a treacherous dungeon by Vaati. Vaati tells Link that at the end of three tolls of a bell, he would complete his extraction of the Light Force from Zelda's body, rendering her lifeless and Vaati unstoppable. Link successfully reaches Vaati with just one toll remaining; Vaati uses the power he had drained in that time to transform himself into powerful, demonic forms. With the power of the Four Sword, Link weakens Vaati and his powers; Zelda awakens and uses the wishing cap that Vaati stole to seal Vaati away, restore Hyrule, and destroy the cap. With Vaati's power gone, Ezlo is transformed into his original form. With the time that the Minish could stay in the human world almost up, Ezlo gives Link a green cap similar to Ezlo's hat form. After this last gesture of friendship, the Minish disappear into their own world, to return one hundred years later.

Pampanga River Basin
The PAMPANGA RIVER BASIN
The 4th largest basin in the Philippines and covers an approximate aggregate area of 10,540 sq. km. (includes the allied basin of Guagua River). The basin extends over the southern slopes of the Caraballo Mountains, the western slopes of the Sierra Madre range and the major portions of the Central Plain of Luzon. It encompasses the provinces of Nueva Ecija; part of Bulacan, Tarlac and Quezon; and almost whole of Pampanga. The total length of the main river, the Pampanga River, is about 260 kilometers.
The basin is drained through the Pampanga River and via the Labangan Channel into the Manila Bay. The main river is supported by several tributaries, the principal ones of which are the Penaranda and the Coronel-Santor Rivers on the eastern side of the basin and the Rio Chico River from the northwest side. The Angat River joins the Pampanga River at Calumpit in Bulacan via the Bagbag River. The Labangan channel, on the other hand, acts as a cut-off channel for the Angat River into Manila Bay. Somewhere between the middle and lower portion of the basin stands Mount Arayat, about 1,026 meters in elevation. Adjacent to Mount Arayat, across Pampanga River, just on the eastern side is the Candaba swamp, covering an area of some 250 sq. km. absorbing most of the flood flows coming from the eastern sections of the basin (western slopes of a portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range) and the overflowing of the Pampanga River via the Cabiao Floodway. This area is submerged during the rainy season but is relatively dry during summer. At the lower sections of the basin, where the Pampanga delta lies, the Pampanga River system divide into relatively small branches, crisscrossed with fishponds to form a network of sluggish, tidal flats and canals, which eventually find their way to Manila Bay. The main river has a relatively low-gradient channel particularly at the middle and lower sections. With the anticipated completion of the Pampanga Delta Project (DPWH), it is expected that floodflows at the lower section of the Pampanga River will recede at a much faster rate than before.
The basin experiences, on an average, at least one flooding in a year. The dry season generally occurs from December to May, and wet the rest of the year. The wettest months are from July to September. The frequency of tropical cyclone passage over the basin is about 5 in 3 years. (Click for PRB website)
Agno River Basin
The AGNO RIVER BASIN
The Agno River, with a drainage area of 5,952 square kilometers is the third largest river in Luzon, fifth in the Philippines, next to the Cagayan and Pampanga Rivers. The length of the river system from its source in the Cordillera Mountains to its mouth in Lingayen Gulf is about 270 kilometers, 90 kilometers of which runs through mountainous terrain and canyons.
The Agno River after passing through mountains at an average elevation of some 2,000 above MSL, forms a vast alluvial fan and delta called the Pangasinan Plain and then flows into the Lingayen Gulf. The Pangasinan plain has long been economically developed and together with the Pampanga Plain constitute the rice granary of Central Luzon. Principal tributaries of the Agno River include the Pila, Camiling, Tarlac and Ambayoan Rivers. The main branch of the Agno River is Tarlac River which has its source at Mt. Pinatubo (elevation 1,745m) in Tarlac and joins the Agno River at Poponto Swamp near Bayambang. The swamp has an area of about 25 square kilometers and temporarily retains flood waters from the Tarlac River. Since the Agno River basin is characterized by mountainous topography, the flood runoff estimated annually at about 6,654 million cubic meters reaches the plain in several hours in the river mouth in about a day. Average annual rainfall varies from 2,000mm in the neighborhood of Tarlac to 4,000mm in the upper reaches of the Agno River. Such great variation in the area distribution of rainfall is attributed to orographic effect coupled with tropical cyclone and south-west monsoon rainfall.
The Pangasinan Plain suffers from recurrent and destructive floods. The catastrophic floods of July-August 1972 and May 1976 inundated the entire Pangasinan Plain including the flood plains of the Tarlac River.
The target areas for this flood forecasting and warning subsystem are:
a) The entire Pangasinan Plain including the major city/municipalities of Dagupan, Lingayen, Bugallon, Sta. Barbara, Bayambang and Rosales
b) The central part of Tarlac province including the municipalities of Gerona, Tarlac, Paniqui and Moncada.
Bicol River Basin
The BICOL RIVER BASIN
The Bicol River is a medium-size river in Southern Luzon and drains an area of 3,771 square kilometers. Situated in the Bicol Peninsula, it embraces the central portion of Camarines Sur, the northern portion of Albay, and a portion of Camarines Norte. The basin is oriented in a northwest-southeast direction and bounded on the east by a chain of volcanoes and on the west by highlands and lowhills. The flat alluvial land in the Bicol Plain occupies the area between the Eastern Bicol Cordillera and the Ragay Hills.
The runoff which is estimated annually at 5,100 million cubic meters, starts from the Mayon Volcano with an elevation of 4,421m, and meanders in a generally northwestward direction. After being regulated through lakes Bato, Buhi, and Baao, the streamflow reaches the mainstream of the Bicol River which owing to its very gentle slope, is affected by tides as far as upstream of Naga City.
The principal tributary of the Bicol River is the Sipocot River. Unlike the main river, the Sipocot River cuts through mountainous terrain and has a steeper slope. The Bicol River after joining the Sipocot River, widens to more than 1,000 meters across at the estuary before discharging into San Miguel Bay.The average annual rainfall varies from 2,000mm in the southwestern area to 3,600mm in the southwestern section of the basin. Flood-producing rains in the basin from May to February are mainly due to tropical cyclone passages, northeast monsoon and orographic effect.Flooding from the sea in the alluvial plain near the mouth of the river is caused by storm surges associated with the passage of slow-moving typhoons near or over San Miguel Bay particularly during high tides.The target areas for the Bicol River Flood Forecasting and Warning Subsystem are:a) The Central part of the basin, from lake Baao to Lake Bato.b) The alluvial plain extending from Naga City to the river mouth.
Cagayan River Basin
The Cagayan River Basin
The Cagayan River is the largest river in the Philippines with a drainage area of 27,280 square kilometers at its mouth in Aparri.The basin encompasses parts of Cagayan, Isabela, Mountain Province, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino and Quezon Provinces. The basin is roughly elliptical in shape with its major axis oriented in a north-south direction. The Cagayan Valley is relatively flat but mountains with elevations up to 2,000m surround the east, south and west of the drainage basin.
The Cagayan River, which is the main drainage channel of the basin, flows in a northerly direction from its head waters in Nueva Vizcaya to its mouth in the Babuyan Channel near Aparri. Its principal tributaries include the Siffu-Malling, Chico, Ilagan and Magat Rivers. The estimated annual discharge is 53,943 million cubic meters.The Magat River is the largest tributary with an estimated annual discharge of 9,808 million cubic meters. It lies in the southwestern portion of the basin, stretching approximately 150 kilometers from Nueva Vizcaya down to its confluence with Cagayan River about 55 kilometers from the river mouth. Both the Magat and the Chico Rivers have extensive drainage areas which comprise about 1/3 of the whole basin. The Ilagan River originates from the western slopes of the Sierra Madre and drains the eastern central portion of the Cagayan River basin with an estimated annual discharge of 9,455 million cubic meters. It flows westward and joins the Cagayan River at Ilagan, Isabela, 200 kilometers from the mouth. The Siffu-Malling River lies on the slope of the Central Cordillera ranges flowing almost parallel to the Magat River. Marshes and swamps are found in some parts of its lower reaches.The average annual rainfall in 1,000mm in the northern part and 3,000mm in the southern mountains. Floods caused by this river flow down very slowly because of surface retention over the extensive flood plain, extremely gentle slope, retardation of flood by several gorges and river meander.The target areas for the flood forecasting and warning system of the Cagayan River Basin are:a)The areas along the lower reaches, from Tuguegarao to Aparrib) The alluvial plain along the river course from Ilagan to Tumauini, Isabela.

Remarks by Dr. Charles B. Reed – March 12, 2008
Chancellor, California State University
March 12, 2008
Thank you, Madam Chair.
New Student Trustee:
I too want to welcome Curtis Grima as the new student trustee. We are pleased to have you with us as part of the CSU family. Listen to Jennifer (Reimer), our other student trustee, because you will learn a lot from her in your transition to being the voting trustee later on.
New Trustee:
I also want to welcome new Trustee Margaret Fortune who was appointed Monday to our board. With such short notice, she could not be here for this month’s meeting so we will officially welcome her in May.
She is the chief executive officer of Project Pipeline, a Sacramento-based non-profit with a 20-year track record of credentialing public school teachers. She has recently worked for Gov. Schwarzenegger and been a school superintendent and chair of the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. She has a long association with the CSU.
Speaking of trustees, I want to congratulate Chair Achtenberg and Trustee Mehas for being confirmed by the Senate. You made several trips to Sacramento, and it all went well.
Recent police incidents at campuses:
Several members of the board asked me to give a short update on two incidents involving guns on campuses. At about 12:30 a.m. today, there was a report of a person with a gun in a Northridge campus dorm. There was a lot of police activity – our campus police arrived in 2 or 3 minutes and city police also had many cars there. It turned out to be a boyfriend-girlfriend thing. No one was hurt and no gun was found.
A few weeks ago, a ROTC student walked across our Dominguez Hills campus with his dummy rifle. That caused lots of police and media activity; even CNN was there. I had just talked to the presidents the day before about our emergency preparedness and the need to practice our “active shooter” scenarios – President Millie Garcia got to practice it the very next day. Everything turned out fine there too.
We learned a lot last night at Northridge and before at Dominguez Hills, especially about the importance of communication in a crisis, and using such methods as text messaging, email and sirens in an emergency. I want to remind you that we all have to be prepared for these kinds of incidents. We hired James Lee Witt in 2000 to help us with our emergency plans, and even before 9/11 we practiced a terrorist attack at San Francisco State. We will keep practicing our plans.
10 years at CSU:
I want to say that this is the best board and the best group of presidents in the country.
It is 10 years this month that I officially became Chancellor of the California State University. I want to acknowledge the support all of you in this room have given to the CSU and our students. Together we have been a strong team.
A few examples of what we have done together:
When I came here, you had just finalized Cornerstones (strategic planning document). I did not have anything to do with its formation but I did with its implementation. I have kept it in my briefcase and take it out occasionally to see where we are with its objectives and milestones. Now we are working on the next 10 year plan with Access to Excellence, and I will carry that in my briefcase also.
Acknowledged our responsibility to help the public schools. We have become a national model for much of what we do in this area and we are being copied.
We said we would increase the numbers of teachers we produce by 25 percent, and we have increased by 37 percent - we now produce about 15,000 teachers a year.
We also have worked hard to align K-12 and higher education. Alignment was a big problem when I came here. The school standards had been watered down. They had nothing to do with going to college; some of that was the universities’ fault because we had not told parents what they needed to do to prepare their children for college. So I worked with Reed Hastings (former chair of the state Board of Education) and we got this going.
We created a "How to Get to College" poster and have distributed close to 2 million of them so that students and their families know how to prepare for college. I was at a meeting of the College Board last week and I brought the poster with me to share with all the universities. Many are going to do something similar.
We also created the Early Assessment Program to give juniors an “early signal” about their college admissibility. It is in its 4th year, and students know by August of the summer before their senior year where they stand, and if they have to take Algebra I again. We also created two free online courses in math and English to help these students.
Opened CSU Channel Islands. They now have twice as many students as they thought they would at this time.
Appointed 15 new presidents. I am very proud of all the presidents.
Developed a strong service learning and community engagement program. I am so proud of our students. We serve some of the neediest students in the state, but they give back more than anyone else does in California. Since 1999, CSU student volunteers have contributed more than 30 million hours of service. In minimum wage value, that translates to $1.3 billion.
Secured from the state the historic ability to award CSU doctorates in education. Seven campuses have programs underway and three more will start next fall. California had the lowest numbers of K-12 and community college leaders with doctorates because they did not have access to programs. We are filling that need.
Helping our veterans with our Troops to College program. We need to do all we can to help our young men and women who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq. We have established veterans’ liaisons on the campuses, and established programs at Miramar Air Base and Balboa Naval Hospital. We are also working with the University of Maryland’s extension online program for veterans to secure credits for our military personnel who take these classes. There are about 100,000 who do this, and 20,000 are from California. We want to be the most friendly and helpful campus in the country to veterans.
As I said earlier, this is the best board and the best group of presidents in the country. The Association of Governing Boards (AGB) uses our board as a model for others. We work as a strong team and keep our focus on CSU students. As long as we all put students first, we will succeed.
Super Sundays:
What we also have done is reach out to our under-served communities.
In February, our presidents, trustees and other CSU officials spoke before congregations at 52 African-American churches in Northern and Southern California. We reached an estimated 80,000 families at our third annual Super Sunday event.
We talked about the importance of a college education, how to apply to a CSU and how to gain financial aid. We gave everyone our “How to Get to College” poster, and other materials that the churches’ education advisers use when counseling families about college.
These partnerships with the churches have helped contribute to a 6.5 percent increase in African American freshman enrollment systemwide. Thank you all for your participation in these important activities. They were a great success.
We are also continuing our partnership with PIQE (Parent Institute for Quality Education) and last year 8,000 Latina mothers graduated from the program so they can help their children get to college. And we work with our Native American and Asian students – we have to maintain our efforts with all of our under-served groups.
CSU Budget and our messages:
As you just heard Richard during the Finance Committee meeting, the CSU is facing a 10 percent cut in 2008-09 of $312.9 million. Adding in the $73 million to buy-out the student fee increase, the total proposed hit is $386 million.
We cannot afford to have this happen – it will affect access, the workforce and serving the under-served. We will be denying 10,000 students access to a college education. We closed admission at most of our campuses on March 1 because of this budget crisis.
As the CSU family, we have to overcome these challenges. We have budget forums going on at all campuses to talk about these issues. We are asking all our students, faculty, staff and our community partners to join us in convincing Sacramento legislators – at their Capitol offices and their district offices - that properly funding the CSU means a better educated workforce that boosts the economic output of this state.
Our three messages are:
The proposed budget cuts will impact student access to the California State University since not all qualified students will be admitted
As the major supplier of graduates into the state’s workforce, budget cuts to the CSU will have an impact on key industries in California
The proposed budget cuts will impact the long term prospects of increasing college-going rates of underserved communities in California.
All of us need to repeat these messages over and over again. We get 2 points for saying them in Sacramento and 10 points for saying them at home in their districts.
Two final items:
I wanted to mention that Don Wallace recently passed away. The Wallace Room is named for him. He was a member of the CSU Headquarters Building Authority for 40 years and a great supporter of the CSU. Richard (West) represented the CSU at Don’s funeral.
And on the lighter side, if you are into basketball and watch the NCAA tournaments, look for the mascot commercial done by NASULGC (National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges) and Anheuser-Busch for its "Celebrate Responsibly" campaign.
They are re-running the one they filmed last year at the CSU Long Beach Walter Pyramid that features six CSU mascots among the 14 mascots. The ads are scheduled to run between March 20 –27 at different times.
The six CSU campus mascots are:
Fresno State Bulldog
Cal State Fullerton Elephant
Cal State L.A. Golden Eagle
Cal State Long Beach Prospector Pete
Cal State Northridge Matador
Cal Poly Pomona Billy Bronco
Chair Achtenberg that concludes my report. Thank you.

Do not use a table when you wish to show a trend or a pattern of relationship between sets of values - these are better presented in a Figure. For instance, if you needed to present population sizes and sex ratios for your study organism at a series of sites, and you planned to focus on the differences among individual sites according to say habitat type, you would use a table.

However, if you wanted to show us that sex ratio was related to population size, you would use a Figure. Figures are visual presentations of results, including graphs, diagrams, photos, drawings, schematics, maps, etc. Graphs are the most common type of figure and will be discussed in detail; examples of other types of figures are included at the end of this section.
Graphs show trends or patterns of relationship. Once you have done your analyses and decided how best to present each one, think about how you will arrange them.
Your analyses should tell a "story" which leads the reader through the steps needed to logically answer the question s you posed in your Introduction. The order in which you present your results can be as important in convincing your readers as what you actually say in the text.
How to refer to Tables and Figures from the text: Use sentences that draw the reader's attention to the relationship or trend you wish to highlight, referring to the appropriate Figure or Table only parenthetically: Germination rates were significantly higher after 24 h in running water than in controls Fig.
DNA sequence homologies for the purple gene from the four congeners Table 1 show high similarity, differing by at most 4 base pairs. Avoid sentences that give no information other than directing the reader to the Figure or Table: Table 1 shows the summary results for male and female heights at Bates College.
Abbreviation of the word "Figure": When referring to a Figure in the text, the word "Figure" is abbreviated as "Fig. Both words are spelled out completely in descriptive legends.
Top of Page How to number Tables and Figures: Figures and Tables are numbered independently, in the sequence in which you refer to them in the text, starting with Figure 1 and Table 1. If, in revison, you change the presentation sequence of the figures and tables, you must renumber them to reflect the new sequence.
Placement of Figures and Tables within the Paper: In consideration of your readers, place each Table or Figure as near as possible to the place where you first refer to it e.
It is permissable to place all the illustrative material at the end of the Results section so as to avoid interrupting the flow of text.

The Figures and Tables may be embedded in the text, but avoid breaking up the text into small blocks; it is better to have whole pages of text with Figures and Tables on their own pages. The "Acid Test" for Tables and Figures: Any Table or Figure you present must be sufficiently clear, well-labeled, and described by its legend to be understood by your intended audience without reading the results section, i.
Overly complicated Figures or Tables may be difficult to understand in or out of context, so strive for simplicity whenever possible.
If you are unsure whether your tables or figures meet these criteria, give them to a fellow biology major not in your course and ask them to interpret your results.
Descriptive Legends or Captions: To pass the "acid test" above, a clear and complete legend sometimes called a caption is essential.
Like the title of the paper itself, each legend should convey as much information as possible about what the Table or Figure tells the reader: Do not simply restate the axis labels with a "versus" written in between.

Writer’s Journal: Book Titles
November 1, 2017 / zoeburtonauthor
Welcome back to Austen Promises and the Writer’s Journal!
Ever wonder how writers come up with titles? The methods are as varied as the writers who devise them, and some authors think them up in multiple ways.
One of the popular methods of coming up with a title is to base it on the theme of the book. For example, Rose Fairbanks has a book that is based on letters Darcy and Elizabeth wrote but never intended to send. She called it Letters From the Heart. I wrote a book where Elizabeth had to choose between Darcy and Collins and called it Decisions & Consequences. Lilacs and Lavender was based on a flower theme.
Another way to come up with a title is to use a favorite line from the book. I Promise To … was so named because Darcy and Elizabeth made promises to each other that began with those three words, “I promise to.”
Sometimes, I name books based on character actions. So, Lady Catherine Impedes was titled that way because she tried to come between Darcy and Elizabeth, and Caroline’s Censure was given its name because Caroline both censured Darcy and Elizabeth for their marriage and was censured by her brother. Darcy was looking to get married in Darcy’s Wife Search.
Leenie Brown named one of her first books Oxford Cottage, which was the name of the cottage Mr. Bennet sent his daughters to so they could practice managing a household. She also named her Willow Hall Series after an estate in the first book: Willow Hall. So, some writers use locations in their titles.
Often, JAFF writers use phrases from Jane Austen’s work. For example, The Essence of Love came from Pride and Prejudice, where Elizabeth asked her aunt, “Is not general incivility the very essence of love?”
Once an author chooses a title, it’s always a good idea for her (or him) to search Amazon for similar titles. Sometimes, I also check Google. As long as it’s not a hugely popular title overall or a title that has been used recently in the JAFF world, we’re usually okay to go. However, it does happen now and then that two books releasing close together have similar names, or in fact the same name. Both have happened to me; in the first case, they were different enough that the other author was happy to have me leave mine (hers was begun long before my book) and in the second case, I changed my title a little bit.
Oh, here’s something that I almost forgot: I try to keep my title short enough to fit on a 5” x 8” cover. In other words, not too wordy; short and sweet is best.
Some books are a struggle to name, and sometimes we authors don’t have a title until the book is finished. Sometimes, we have a title before we even begin a story. It really depends on the story. I have even changed a title in the middle of writing, because the one I came up with ended up not fitting. That happens when one is a pantser with no actual writing plan. 🙂
This post turned out to be more interesting than I thought it would! Go me! 🙂

MagicJack is different from many other VoIP systems, such as Skype, due to its physical USB dongle, which contains a phone jack into which a standard phone can be plugged, allowing it to function the same way it would with a landline connection. If your company requires the use of headsets in order to remain hand-frees and improve productivity, you can use MagicJack in conjunction with a headset designed for use with a standard phone base.
Remove the handset from the phone that is currently plugged into the MagicJack dongle by gently compressing the plastic clip on its plug and then pulling the plug from from the phone base.
Plug the headset's plug into the port on the phone base where the handset was originally plugged. Press the plug firmly into the slot until you hear a small click, which will indicate that it is fully inserted.
Put on the headset. If it has an in-line microphone switch, ensure that the switch is set to "On." If the line has an in-line volume control, ensure that the volume is not turned down completely. Make a test by dialing a number on the phone base. If you can hear audio and the person on the receiving end can hear you, the headset is functioning correctly and can be used in place of the original handset.

Council of African political parties elects Kabimba as president
April 30, 2013 News
THE council of the African political parties has elected PF secretary general Wynter Kabimba as its inaugural president.
And Kabimba said his election was a dawn of a new era for Africa.
Sudan, being the host country, becomes the secretariat, and Kabimba will be deputised by Senegal, Algeria, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
In his acceptance speech delivered in a fully packed friendship hall, Kabimba said the destiny of Africa was in the hands of its people.
“The creation of the council of African political parties and my election to the presidency is a dawn of a new era for Africa. Africa’s destiny is in our hands. We can make it or break it. The choice is ours. I have no doubt that with the efforts of our great people, we will realise the dreams of this continent,” he said.
Kabimba’s candidature was nominated by Ethiopia and supported by most southern, eastern and north African countries.

Pato out, Tevez and Balotelli in?
31.12 || webmaster
Source: Football Italia
It is reported Milan will sacrifice Alexandre Pato to PSG so they can sign Carlos Tevez, then Mario Balotelli in July.
The Rossoneri are in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain, who have director Leonardo and new Coach Carlo Ancelotti, to reunite them with Pato.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, the €46m raised from selling The Duck will be funnelled straight to Manchester City.
Milan have already confirmed they agreed personal terms with Tevez for a January move and have seen their loan bid rejected, so must pay €20m to sign him outright.
However, the new development is a summer swoop for Balotelli, who is a lifelong Milan supporter.
Meanwhile, Pato has spoken out about his supposed row with Coach Massimiliano Allegri and these transfer rumours.
“My rapport with Allegri is professional. I don’t think a Coach and player need to share friendship. We have the same objective: to continue winning with Milan,” he said from their training camp in Dubai.
“I sent a message wishing Ancelotti well, but I am not talking about the transfer market. That is up to my agent. I have a contract with Milan until 2014.
“I always want to win and will wait to play so I can give my best. I think the Champions League is our primary objective this season. I spoke to Andre Santos, whose Arsenal we will be facing in the next round.
As for the Scudetto, we have to watch out for many teams, not just Juventus.”
Aquilani: 'Normal between Allegri and Pato'
Alberto Aquilani has given his verdict on the reported animosity between Alexandre Pato and Massimiliano Allegri.
Earlier this week, Pato was quoted in an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport and Il Corriere della Sera of suggesting there was not enough talking between himself and the Milan Coach.
In turn, there has been strong speculation linking the Brazilian striker with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
However, Aquilani, speaking today at the end of the team’s training session in Dubai where Milan are spending their winter preparations, commented that the incident was not out of the ordinary.
“Everything is normal between Allegri and Pato. These things happen everywhere.
“Because Pato is an important player, everything gets over-exaggerated and amplified.”
Cassano: 'Important to live'
Antonio Cassano has revealed that in the moment he discovered that he needed heart surgery, playing football was farthest from his mind.
In an interview with Striscia la Notizia after receiving the year’s Tapiro d’Oro award - a mock award given out by the television programme - Cassano reflected on having to undergo surgery for a congenital heart problem in late October and his subsequent, ongoing recovery.
“It was unexpected, but the important thing was to live. I have to wait six months to play again. Meanwhile, I walk, walk, walk. With all the kilometres that I’m doing I’ll be arriving in Bari.”
Since joining the Rossoneri in January 2011, Cassano has struck up a friendship with fellow striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“He is one of my best friends, even though he puts pressure on me to return. I have a great relationship with him and with everyone at Milan.
“It is strange that I have a beautiful relationship with everyone, but it’s true.”
AC Milan update on Tevez and Pato
Milan have confirmed that they still hope to sign Carlos Tevez in January, while they have ruled out selling Alexandre Pato to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Rossoneri have agreed personal details with the Argentine attacker, but Manchester City have so far refused to sell on the Italian club’s terms.
Milan want the forward player on loan with an option to buy him outright at the end of the campaign. City would like something more permanent.
“We’re just waiting for the negotiations for Tevez to unblock,” Vice-President Adriano Galliani told Milan Channel.
“We’ve decided to forget about other options, including Maxi Lopez of Catania, because we only want Tevez.
“He has said that he wants to leave City and he’ll only do so to come here to Milan,” the former Lega Calcio chief continued.
“If a player arrives then it will be a top world class one, otherwise we won’t be making any signings.”
Galliani was then inevitably asked to comment on the speculation that Pato could be on his way to Paris SG for €50m.
“There is no negotiation going on with Paris Saint-Germain for Pato,” he underlined.
“There has been no contact with the player and none between us and PSG. There is no truth in it. I’ve been trying to tell the newspapers as much, but they don’t believe me.”
The Brazilian striker is being paired with PSG given his admission earlier this week that he does have some problems with Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri.
His agent has also left the door open for a switch by insisting that they would consider a move if Milan opted to sell.
AC Milan have Maxi Lopez deadline
Catania have revealed that Milan have two more days to sign Maxi Lopez – otherwise they’ll sell him to another club.
The Rossoneri have agreed a deal with the Sicilian outfit for the striker, but they’ll only take him if they fail to net Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.
The Tevez deal has hit complications though as talks with the Premiership club over the terms of the move continue.
While Milan are prepared to wait for Tevez, Catania don’t seem ready to wait for the Italian champions.
“There is an agreement that depends on certain factors,” Catania director Pietro Lo Monaco told Sky Sport Italia.
“We’ll wait until December 31, but then other clubs will be given space to negotiate. Milan have another two days, then I think he’ll go elsewhere.
“Lopez is a strong player and even he doesn’t know his potential as a true centre-forward,” the official continued.
“The fact that we made him available to Milan saw other clubs come forward. There is one other Italian outfit and two foreign sides after him.
“We’ll wait a few days and then we’ll see what happens.”
It’s understood that Fiorentina are considering making a move for the former Barcelona player as a replacement for the Genoa-bound Alberto Gilardino.
PSG could seduce Pato
Alexandre Pato’s representative has failed to rule out the possibility of a Milan exit. “Paris Saint-Germain are seductive.”
The French giants, who could soon be bossed by former Rossoneri tactician Carlo Ancelotti, are understood to be pondering a bid for the Brazilian international.
Speaking to the L’Equipe newspaper, Gilmar Veloz admitted that PSG are becoming an attractive outfit under their wealthy Qatari owners.
“Ancelotti is a great Coach, Leonardo is a very competent director, David Beckham would be more than just a team-mate and PSG are a club who will become even bigger,” Veloz noted.
“It’s all very fascinating and the offer is seductive, but we are not the ones who have to decide. Milan and Vice-President Adriano Galliani are the ones who will have to make the decision.
“We are professionals,” he added. “We’ll sit down around a table and, if it is good for Milan and for us, then who knows…”
Speculation in France suggests that PSG are ready to offer around €50m for the South American striker.
Nocerino: I'm no goal hero
Antonio Nocerino has played down the fact that only Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored more goals than him for Milan this season.
The summer signing from Palermo has been a revelation in front of goal after netting six in 14 League games. Ibrahimovic has 11 in 13.
“I’ve scored six goals, but I don’t consider myself as a prolific goalscorer,” the Italian international told Sky Sport Italia.
“I’m just a normal guy who happens to be playing in the middle of a host of great footballers,” he continued.
The midfielder is currently in a Scudetto duel with his new club and Juventus – the outfit who signed him as a youngster.
“I owe the Bianconeri a lot,” he added. “That’s because they allowed me to grow up. However, I’m now at Milan and I hope we are the ones celebrating at the end of the season.”
Milan and Juventus are currently joint top on 34 points, two ahead of revelation side Udinese and four clear of Lazio.
Torino door opens for El Shaarawy
Italian champions Milan have suggested that they would be willing to loan Stephen El Shaarawy to Serie B leaders Torino.
The attacker, co-owned with Genoa, moved to Milanello during the summer but has struggled to feature regularly.
A temporary move away from San Siro has been mentioned as a possibility for January in order to give the 19-year-old more playing time.
“If we decide to move the kid then there would be nothing to stop him from joining Torino – even if they are in Serie B,” Milan director Ariedo Braida told Tuttosport.
“After all, President Urbano Cairo is also a friend.”
El Shaarawy, born to an Italian mother and Egyptian father, has scored one goal in seven Serie A appearances so far this season.
He caught the eye last term in the Italian Second Division after netting nine times in 29 games for Padova.
Pato agent was in Paris but...
Alexandre Pato’s agent has admitted contact with Paris Saint-Germain, but underlined that Milan will decide the player’s future.
The French giants have been linked with a €50m bid for the striker after he admitted to problems with Rossoneri boss Massimiliano Allegri earlier this week.
The links only intensified after reports emerged that the player’s representative, Gilmar Veloz, met with PSG director Leonardo this week.
“Yes, we met in Paris,” Veloz told Le 10 Sport in an interview. “But Leonardo is my friend and he received me as such.
“It's one thingto come and see a friend who works at Paris SG and another to see a sporting director…
“Did we talk about Pato? You know, we work in football so we talked about football. We are not in the film industry and I do not work with actors.
“We talked about current events, players, Pato and Paris too. However, Pato has a contract with Milan and, for better clarification on his future, you would have to ask his employer.
“I'd be the wrong party. Alexandre Pato has a contract and it is Milan who decide.”
Pato, 22, is liked by officials in France given that Leonardo helped the Rossoneri sign him. He also bossed him with the Rossoneri.
PSG are expected to announce Carlo Ancelotti, another tactician who worked with Pato at San Siro, as their new Coach at some stage over the next few days.
Ancelotti will reportedly sign a contract until 2014, worth somewhere in the region of €6m per campaign.
Molinaro on AC Milan radar
Milan could make a move for Cristian Molinaro of Stuttgart if Taye Taiwo leaves the club in January, the Corriere dello Sport reports.
The Nigerian international only transferred to Italy in the summer after his contract at Marseille had expired.
However, he’s had his difficulties in adapting to the Italian game and he’s not assured of first team football with the Diavolo.
His agent has admitted that the player will make a decision on his future next month given that there is interest in his services.
Should the left-back head out of Milanello, the Rossoneri may consider replacing him with Molinaro.
The 28-year-old, who has appeared for Italy, is currently playing his football in Germany after leaving Juventus in January 2010.
Pato off to PSG for EUR 50 mil?
Some sections of the French media are claiming that Alexandre Pato will leave Milan for Paris Saint-Germain in January.
The Brazilian’s future at San Siro is in some doubt after his interview with the Corriere dello Sport on Tuesday.
During the conversation, the international striker admitted that his relationship with boss Massimiliano Allegri is not ideal.
Following those revelations, some reports across the Alps are suggesting that a transfer will take place next month.
Pato, according to the stories, will be offered a four-year contract by the Ligue 1 giants worth €7m per campaign.
Milan will allegedly be tempted into a sale thanks to a €50m offer from PSG.
Paris SG director Leonardo helped the Rossoneri sign Pato in August 2007. PSG could also soon be bossed by former Milan tactician Carlo Ancelotti.
However, the reigning Italian champions have quickly rubbished the suggestions on Wednesday morning.
“I have received no signal from Pato that he wants to leave, nor from Leonardo that he wants to sign him,” stated Vice-President Adriano Galliani.
“Pato will stay with us – without a doubt. Saying that, if the player wants to be sold…”
Inzaghi named in AC Milan squad
Pippo Inzaghi has been included in the Milan squad for their imminent winter training camp in Dubai.
Inzaghi is being linked with a January exit after failing to break into the plans of boss Massimiliano Allegri.
The former Italian international and ex-Juventus man will, however, fly out with the rest of the squad for their retreat in the sun.
Allegri has named a 29-man party and the only absentees are the unavailable Antonio Cassano, Mario Yepes and Mathieu Flamini.
Daniele Bonera and Antonio Nocerino are already in Dubai, while the Brazilian contingent will fly directly from Sao Paulo.
As part of the tour, Milan will face Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly on January 4, 2012.
Squad – Goalkeepers: Abbiati, Amelia, Roma, Piscitelli.
Defenders: De Sciglio, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Abate, Bonera, Zambrotta, Antonini, Mexes, Taiwo, Rodrigo Ely.
Midfielders: Valoti, Nocerino, Aquilani, Ambrosini, Carmona, Gattuso, Van Bommel, Emanuelson, Seedorf, Boateng.
Attackers: Pato, Ibrahimovic, Inzaghi, Robinho, El Shaarawy.
Van Bommel delays move home
Milan enforcer Mark Van Bommel has dismissed suggestions that he is looking for a return to Holland next month.
The Dutch international has been paired with a switch back to his homeland in January for personal reasons.
However, talking to Tuttosport on Wednesday, the 34-year-old insists that he is not days away from leaving Milanello.
“I’ve never asked to be sold,” he stated. “When I left Holland in 2005 I promised that I would go back to end my career there.
“Nevertheless, that moment hasn’t arrived just yet. I have six months left on my Milan contract and then we’ll see what happens.”
The midfielder joined the Diavolo last January from Bayern Munich.
In 2005, he joined Barcelona for one season after impressing with PSV Eindhoven.
Espanyol eye Inzaghi
Filippo Inzaghi may be presented with a way out of his Milan contract, through a move abroad to La Liga side Espanyol.
According to Catalan-based publication Sport, Los Periquitos are said to be considering a move for the 38-year-old forward this January as they look to reinforce an otherwise inconsistent front-line.
The report also goes on to indicate that Inzaghi is attracting interest from Lazio and two unnamed Premier League clubs.
The forward missed six months of last season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his knee and has struggled for full fitness this term, with Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri suggesting that he rarely trains enough to be considered for first-team involvement at San Siro.
Thiago Silva wants captaincy
Thiago Silva has admitted he would now like to be Milan’s next captain, having previously never even considered the notion before late November.
The change of heart was a key point to a lengthy interview the Rossoneri stopper held with news agency ANSA this week. The conversation began with a reflection on the calendar year’s performance.
“We won the Scudetto and Supercoppa, we are now first in the League as we wanted - I am very happy with 2011,” reflected the 27-year-old centre-back. “Playing every three days is hard, sometimes I am so tired I do not want to train. But it is the life I wanted, I cannot complain and I have now rested a few days in the sun in Brazil.”
Silva took the captain’s armband for the Rossoneri’s League match with Chievo in November, despite not being the player with the most appearances available for selection.
“Until recently I had no desire to be captain, then it happened for Brazil and I changed my mind. When Allegri informed me, I thought he was kidding, Pato and Antonini had the most appearances for Milan.
“Now I always want that armband, I am a leader.
“Before me there is Ambrosini, Seedorf, Gattuso and Abbiati, so let’s see what happens next year, but I’d be the first permanent foreign captain of Milan for 50 years.
“When I put the armband on I can change completely. Antonini knows how much I scream on the field, but I am more comfortable as a captain, I know that I should be a point of reference.”
The centre-back has scored twice already this season, prompting club President Silvio Berlusconi’s claims that the Brazilian would be comfortable as a striker.
“When I score my game changes for the better. In three years with Fluminense I scored 14 goals, this is my third season with Milan and five goals are, for me, an understatement.
“Now, I trust my teammates so that when I go forward they prevent fast counter-attacks, now I try to exploit every corner.”
Silva is then asked why the team have already conceded 16 goals in Serie A this season when through the entirety of 2010-11 they only shipped 24.
“I’m going to talk only about myself. We would not have conceded two goals in Bologna had I been more focused. In that game I got it all wrong. Allegri wants more concentration from us - currently smaller teams are given less attention than when we face big sides like Barcelona.
“But in this League the defence is key - if we do not concede then we are sure we can score goals.”
It is noted in the interview that Silva lives on Lake Como, in ex-Inter forward Adriano’s old house. Where police were once called to the house to ask that Adriano turn down the volume during a party, Silva admits to preferring the quiet life.
“I do not like to go out at night or go to the disco. For my birthday my wife held a party, but I didn’t want to do that. Then, that was at six in the afternoon, not the morning.”
Galliani: 'AC Milan not far from Barcelona'
As Adriano Galliani declares Milan as the team in European football closest to Barcelona, Marcello Lippi praises Massimiliano Allegri’s psychology.
The Rossoneri’s Vice-President Galliani made the comparison between the current Scudetto holders and the Spanish side, who have won 13 of the 16 competitions played during Pep Guardiola’s tenure, in light of the two teams’ meetings in this year’s Champions League group stages.
Milan netted twice in both matches, drawing at the Camp Nou 2-2 before falling to a 3-2 defeat at San Siro and finishing the group as runners-up behind the Catalans.
“We are not far from Barcelona,” commented Galliani this week. “It seems to me that the team to have caused Guardiola’s side the most difficulty this season so far has not been Real Madrid but really my Milan.”
Meanwhile, former World Cup winner Lippi has praised Allegri for his impact in creating the right conditions for the team’s players to shine under this season.
“Allegri has been good, he has been able to find just the right feeling. I know many at Milan who were with me in the national team and speak to me often and they all say positive things about Allegri.
“I do not think managing big personalities at Milan is a problem for him, he has created a great feeling between himself and the dressing room.
“It is true that on the field the players are winning games with their class, but to enter the field with a taken-for-granted correct psychological mindset is down to the Coach.”
Pato: No dialogue with Allegri
Alexandre Pato has made some strange comments on life at Milan under Massimiliano Allegri amid reports linking the striker with a move away.
Speaking to Il Corriere dello Sport and Il Corriere della Sera, the Brazilian striker discussed a number of topics, from captaining Milan to his relationship with Coach Allegri. However, he began by focusing on how the calendar year has progressed from a personal point of view.
“My 2011 was a very good year - I won my first trophy in Europe, I scored some important goals. It would be a year to remember if I had not had so many injuries.”
The 22-year-old has suffered eight injuries over the course of the past 12 months.
“Every time I have tried a different method to try to find a solution. I’ve never been afraid, even after the injury in September. I thought, ‘I will return slowly, only when I am 100 per cent’.
“I’ve always done double training sessions, arriving at Milanello early each morning. I have worked more and more to return better than before each time.”
Pato was pricklier with the follow-up question that suggested his form since returning from his latest injury has not been better.
“I have scored two goals in three games. At Bologna I did not play well but then neither did the rest of the team. It is said that you win and lose together, no?
“We always talk about me because I am an important player for Milan.”
The No 7, who joined Il Diavolo in January 2008 for a reported €24m, was then asked about his relationship with his Coaches. Where he described Carlo Ancelotti and Leonardo as his ‘godfathers’, he was less-than-forthcoming with compliments for Allegri.
“Carlo always spoke to me, told me what to do on the field. If I have to improve now then Allegri has to recommend how. Champions must always move forward, they are expected to be the best.
“Every now and then Allegri will explain something to me, but a Coach should always suggest to his players how to correct defects.
“I would like to have a more direct relationship with Allegri, I won’t say much more. If he thinks it is right to criticise me then I have to keep my head down and work. I have to respect what the Coach says.
“The fact remains, however, that if he has noticed something wrong with my game that he would be better to come directly to me so we can discuss it together.”
Pato was then asked of Allegri’s comments that he had to get used to the position of striker again after previous Coach Leonardo had used him out wide on occasion.
“Even in the national team I played as a striker and I don’t think I did badly.”
In late November, Milan’s League win over Chievo was notable for Thiago Silva’s selection as captain, even though Pato was thought to be in line for the armband, according to Italian football tradition.
“The truth was, until I arrived in the changing room, I was convinced that the rule of seniority would see Milan assign the band to me.
“It did not turn out so, but I was not disappointed because in the end it ended up on the arm of a friend and a teammate.
“I did not ask for an explanation, these are the decisions of Galliani and Allegri.”
The comments come on the same day that Pato is being linked with moves to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. The London side, who the Rossoneri face in the Champions League in a couple of months, are reportedly monitoring Pato’s situation in Milan and even prepared to make a €28m bid for the youngster.
Competition, according to Mediaset, comes from PSG and Pato’s ‘godfathers’ Ancelotti and Leonardo, who have been given a €20m budget to try to tempt Galliani with.
Allegri: AC Milan deserve a 7
Massimiliano Allegri has reflected on his team’s performance in the lead-up to the winter break and on his relationship with Silvio Berlusconi.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, the Coach was asked to rate his side’s performance over the season with a mark out of 10, the Coach spoke of the change he has witnessed in his players.
“We began with a ‘4’ in the first five games, but then were up to an ‘8’ or ‘9’ in the next 11 and the squad is currently navigating at a ‘7’.
“The players’ best characteristic is that they always put themselves under discussion, we need to improve the construction of the game and to give away less both offensively and defensively.”
Allegri has been without Antonio Cassano since the end of October after the player required minor heart surgery to correct a congenital heart defect. The Coach reflected on the No 99 and other striking options in the team.
“We miss him so much, I think that with Milan he has been at the best of his career both technically and physically.
“I’m sorry for [Filippo] Inzaghi, who has made history with Milan, he has great enthusiasm but I have to make decisions. For some time he has not trained with the first team and I cannot take him into consideration, he has not been available.
“[Zlatan] Ibrahimovic is doing great things, like last year. He was also determined at Juventus and Inter and despite the criticism he was great at Barcelona.
“[Alexandre] Pato? I would like him to return as soon as possible to the player that he is.”
Silvio Berlusconi has recently returned to the club as active President after ending his career in politics and has already provided some public feedback for Allegri. The Coach insists that there is no friction in the relationship.
“It is great, we talk face to face often, I listen to his opinions, I give him explanations. The Coach has the daily pulse of the situation and must make choices on the team depending on this.
“When you are working at Milan it is normal that you try to win, I have been lucky to work here in two years when the club has been great in the transfer market.
“My contract? I think it is in place.”
Galliani: 'We'll wait for Tevez'
Adriano Galliani reveals Milan won’t sign Maxi Lopez. “I made a promise to Carlitos Tevez that we’ll wait for him until January 31.”
The Rossoneri have been in negotiations with both players, but Manchester City have refused to release Tevez on loan without a mandatory buy-out clause.
“Will Tevez be a Christmas present for the fans? It’s tough in a period of economic difficulty, but we will try to keep the supporters happy,” Vice-President Galliani told Sky Sport Italia.
“Maxi Lopez? Catania have been very kind and open, but I made a promise to Carlitos that we’ll wait for him until January 31.
“If Tevez does not arrive, then we will stay as we are.”
However, Pippo Inzaghi is likely to move on in the January transfer window.
“Pippo’s dream is to set the record for European goals. He’ll try to achieve that either with Milan or another club in the Europa League.”
Van Bommel 'never asked to leave'
Mark Van Bommel insists he “never asked to be sold” from Milan, but could return to Holland in June 2012.
The veteran has never disguised his desire to end his playing career where it began at PSV Eindhoven.
“I never asked to be sold,” he told Tuttosport. “When I left Holland in 2005, I promised that I would return before hanging up my boots.
“However, I don’t know if that moment has arrived yet. There are six months to go, we’ll see what happens.”
The 34-year-old also played for Barcelona and Bayern Munich before moving to Milan in January 2011.
Allegri sets sights on Europe
Massimiliano Allegri believes Milan will target the Champions League victory in 2013, “but we can do great things this season too.”
The Rossoneri are through to the final 16 of the competition and will face Arsenal in the knockouts.
“Barcelona continue to be the best team in the world, but when we played against them – especially in Spain – they created few dangers,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“We emerged from that game aware of what we could achieve against them. I believe next term can be the right one for the Champions League, but we can do great things this season too.”
Allegri won the Scudetto in his first campaign on the Milan bench and they are now joint top of Serie A with Juventus, but he is yet to extend his contract that expires in June 2012.
“We haven’t yet agreed the figures for my contract with Adriano Galliani and President Silvio Berlusconi. If they confirm me in the job then I’m happy, as it’ll mean they have faith in me. I know full well where I have to improve as a Coach.”
Recently Berlusconi has publicly criticised his tactician for leaving Pippo Inzaghi in the stands.
“In the last few games we have played badly and had some problems, perhaps due to tiredness, that were already visible in training,” continued Allegri.
“I often speak with Berlusconi and he asked about Inzaghi. I said that as he hadn’t trained in a while, I couldn’t take him into consideration. Obviously some of the fans might not agree with my decisions, but Milan are not just a team looking for entertainment, but also the result.
“Inzaghi has made football history like many other champions, but I have to evaluate what he can give me on the field today.
“Milan have to be more clinical and control possession better. Juventus have something special, as if they are unbeaten this season then there has to be a reason for that.
“The Bianconeri are the joint Scudetto favourites along with us, even if the others are doing well and Inter remain a great squad.
“Among my players Ignazio Abate has made the most significant improvement. Who is the symbol of Milan? It’s too easy to say Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Thiago Silva, so I’ll vote for Antonio Nocerino.”
'New AC Milan' excites Boban
Zvonimir Boban is looking forward to the prospect of seeing a Milan side containing Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Carlos Tevez.
The Swede has been in great form for the Rossoneri this season, while the Manchester City man is being targeted ahead of the January transfer window.
“Ibra is a total footballer,” Boban, a former playmaker for the Diavolo, told Sky Sport Italia on Friday morning.
“He is the kind of player who can win games on his own and he has the ability to take Milan to the next level in terms of quality.
“As for Tevez’ possible arrival, he would give Milan another champion in their squad.”
Scudetto holders Milan have ended 2011 joint top of Serie A with Juventus, a feat achieved with the aid of two former Bianconeri players.
“Alberto Aquilani and Antonio Nocerino have settled in perfectly,” Boban said of the summer arrivals from Liverpool and Palermo.
“They have given the team a massive helping hand and they’ve worked hard in the midfield area.”
Tevez closer to AC Milan?
Milan have taken a step closer to signing Carlos Tevez from Manchester City, reports in Italy are suggesting.
Officials from both clubs met on Thursday to try and strike a deal for the New Year switch of the Argentine.
The Italian club have already agreed personal terms with the forward, but satisfying the English outfit is proving problematic.
Although there is still no agreement, progress may have been made as confirmed by Milan official Ariedo Braida. “The meeting went well,” he is quoted as saying.
“We’ll remain in contact. I’m not a wizard though so I don’t know how things will end up. Nevertheless, everything is good, everything is normal…”
Milan’s initial bid was to ask for Tevez’s free loan with an option to buy for €23m at the end of the campaign.
Their stance is said to have altered slightly by offering €3m for the player’s services over the next six months, with a buy out set at €20m.
The Manchester outfit, however, are keener on having an obligatory buy-out clause inserted into any agreement.
A new meeting between the two sides is expected to now take place after Christmas but before January 1, 2012.
From Spain: AC Milan have Keita deal
Spanish media claim that Milan have struck a deal to sign Barcelona’s Seydou Keita next season.
He is tied to the Blaugrana until June 2014, but it’s reported he has a clause in his contract allowing him to walk away two years early.
The clause is activated if the 31-year-old is not given a minimum number of appearances during the campaign.
According to Sport.es this evening, Vice-President Adriano Galliani has already reached a verbal agreement with the player’s entourage for next season.
This would mean bringing Keita to Milan on a free transfer in June.
AC Milan fly out for Tevez talks
Milan directors flew to England today for a three-hour meeting with Manchester City over Carlos Tevez, but the Rossoneri won’t budge from their free loan request.
City have already rejected the proposed free loan spell with a buy-out clause worth around €25m at the end of the season, insisting they will only release the Argentine for an outright sale.
It is widely reported in the Italian media that directors Ariedo Braida and Lorenzo Cantamessa were in Britain this afternoon for a meeting with City director Brian Marwood, Tevez’s agent Kia Joorabchian and intermediary Giuseppe Riso.
Vice-President Adriano Galliani was also taking part in the negotiations via telephone.
It’s believed they discussed the move, but Braida and Cantamessa will return to Italy this evening, pending a new meeting after Christmas.
“Nobody is denying he is a great player, but I don’t know why Manchester City are so eager to be rid of him,” ex-Milan legend Cesare Maldini told TMW.
“He had some problems at City and Chelsea. I doubt any one player can win a title for his team, but Tevez is certainly a champion and it is necessary to replace Antonio Cassano.”
Meanwhile, there are reports in France Football that Paris Saint-Germain are dropping their own bid to sign Tevez, as they are targeting Porto striker Hulk instead.
Nesta wants AC Milan retirement
Alessandro Nesta has confirmed that he wants to see out his professional playing career with Milan and in a ‘dignified manner’.
Speaking to Forza Milan magazine, the 35-year-old Rome-born stopper made the declaration when reflecting on how he sees himself winding down after 19 years at the top.
“I want to end my career in a dignified way, preferably with Milan. Here the level is high and you play every three days. Maybe I will cut back on the commitments, once a week may prove enough.
“Staying in Milan for 10 years was my goal - my family is settled, we’re fine here.”
Nesta joined the Rossoneri in 2002 from Lazio. Between these two clubs and combined with 10 years spent with the Italian national team, the defender has won 19 trophies.
“Football is my life - when I eat I even watch it on television. Aside from the injury problems, I am happy with my career, football has given me everything. I have taken a lot of satisfaction.”
The No 13, whose contract expires next summer, is currently recovering from a thigh injury and will return to action in the new year.
AC Milan confirm PSG friendly
Milan have confirmed they’ll face Paris Saint-Germain over the winter break in the Dubai Emirates Challenge.
The Rossoneri are travelling to Dubai for their now traditional training camp during the Serie A pause on December 29.
The squad will remain there until January 5, when they’ll return to Italy and prepare for the game with Atalanta on January 8.
Meanwhile, they will play some friendlies in Dubai, including a clash with Leonardo’s Paris Saint-Germain at the Al Ahli Stadium for the Emirates Challenge on January 4.
According to recent reports, former Milan star David Beckham could be joining Javier Pastore, Salvatore Sirigu and director of sport Leonardo at PSG.
Allegri ready for AC Milan rest
Massimiliano Allegri said his players were tired and accepts President Silvio Berlusconi’s advice, but “I make choices for the good of Milan.”
The Rossoneri eased their way to a 2-0 victory away to Cagliari thanks to an own goal and a moment of magic from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“Tonight it was a difficult game, which is what I expected,” said the Coach. “We have climbed back up the table and I already saw on Saturday that the team was tired. There were difficulties and we played better in the second half, but the important thing was to get the three points.
“Ibra is generous and never pulls back. He is an extremely important player for us. Now we’ll see what the others do tomorrow.”
Milan end 2011 on a Serie A run of nine wins and two draws, which means they could be top of the table depending on the Udinese-Juventus result.
Allegri was also asked about President Berlusconi, who this week suggested he change his tactics to field a trident attack plus Kevin-Prince Boateng in midfield.
“There is always an exchange of ideas with the President. He has his ideas and would like to see Milan always play the way they sometimes do. But I have to make choices for the good of Milan.
“I like it when we talk, as I can get important ideas from him. There is absolutely no problem. Comparisons with Barcelona are impossible, as they have players with completely different characteristics to ours.”
Serie A: Cagliari 0:2 AC Milan - match report
Scorers: Pisano og 4 (M), Ibrahimovic 60 (M)
Milan did the bare minimum to earn a 2-0 victory away to Cagliari thanks to an own goal and Zlatan Ibrahimovic strike.
The Rossoneri aimed to end the year on a high with this Week 1 game, rescheduled from August due to the players’ strike. Christian Abbiati returned from a shoulder injury, though Mario Yepes, Alessandro Nesta, Ignazio Abate, Gennaro Gattuso, Mathieu Flamini and Antonio Cassano were sidelined. Cagliari opted for a very attacking line-up with Andrea Cossu back from a ban joining a trio of hitmen, while Davide Biondini was suspended.
After 100 seconds of play in the driving rain, Thiago Ribeiro’s angled strike cracked against the outside of the near post from a tight angle.
However, it was Milan who took the lead moments later. Robinho got to the by-line down the right and drew out the goalkeeper, rolling across for Antonio Nocerino to tap into an empty net from five yards. Replays suggest Francesco Pisano got the final touch when sliding in to intercept.
Philippe Mexes returned to the starting XI, but risked an own goal with his horribly scuffed clearance. Albin Ekdal hit a screamer from distance that stung Abbiati’s palms. The goalkeeper performed a spectacular save with his knee from point-blank range, though Joaquin Larrivey was offside anyway.
Larrivey was on the right side of the trap later on, but his header was wide, while Lorenzo Ariaudo’s looping effort was too weak to trouble Abbiati.
At the dawn of the second half a Kevin-Prince Boateng flick sent Aquilani through for a snapshot that struck Michael Agazzi’s legs. At the other end, Thiago Ribeiro chipped up a cross for Victor Ibarbo, but the header was straight at Abbiati.
Robinho managed to dribble round the on-rushing Agazzi after running on to an Ibrahimovic disguised pass, but had narrowed the angle too much and drilled over. Abbiati smothered a powerful Radja Nainggolan screamer, but Milan doubled their lead.
Ibrahimovic did it all himself this time round, as his flick was nodded back down by Robinho and the Swede turned on the turbo to burst past Michele Canini, at full stretch clipping the finish over Agazzi into an empty net. It was a fine way to mark his 200th Serie A appearance.
Thiago Ribeiro’s attempt was deflected wide, while Agostini’s cross was desperately cleared by a sliding Thiago Silva tackle. Substitute Alexandre Pato and Ibra went on the counter from a Cagliari free kick, but The Duck fired straight at Agazzi.
Cagliari: Agazzi; Pisano (Gozzi 79), Canini, Ariaudo (Perico 62), Agostini; Ekdal (Rui Sampaio 79), Nainggolan, Cossu; Thiago Ribeiro, Ibarbo, Larrivey
Milan: Abbiati; Bonera, Mexes, Thiago Silva, Taiwo; Aquilani, Ambrosini (Van Bommel 85), Nocerino; Boateng; Ibrahimovic, Robinho (Pato 73)

Berlusconi: 'Tevez too expensive'
While Adriano Galliani says Milan have a meeting with Manchester City on Thursday, Silvio Berlusconi insists Carlos Tevez “is not my type.”
Confusion reigns at San Siro after City confirmed they would not release Tevez on loan, therefore rejecting the Rossoneri’s first offer.
Vice-President Galliani said “we have an appointment with Manchester City on Thursday. However, it probably won’t be the decisive one to conclude a deal.”
This evening ahead of the rescheduled Week 1 game with Cagliari, President Berlusconi painted a very different picture of the situation.
“I am not courting Tevez, as he is not my type. Besides, he’s too expensive,” Berlusconi told news agency adnkronos.
“We already have a squad that can win the Scudetto as it is. As for Alexandre Pato, he needs to play more.”
Cassano camera crew altercation
Antonio Cassano has been criticised for his “incivility” by the union of journalists after an altercation with a camera crew.
Journalists working for local station TeleNord allege they were insulted and attacked by the Milan player outside a bar in Genoa.
They claim that they were putting their equipment away, having recorded some vox pops outside the bar with passers-by.
Cassano then arrived in his car and apparently thought they had been filming him, so became infuriated and hurled insults at the TV crew.
“It’s a shame, because our colleagues were attacked without any reason,” Liguria Union of Journalists President Michele Corti told Calciomercato.it.
“The player sends out a message of great incivility. I would like for him to show humility and apologise.”
Cassano hopes to resume light training in January, as he continues to recover from heart surgery.
AC Milan - City to talk Tevez on Thursday
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has revealed that his club will meet with Manchester City officials this week to discuss Carlos Tevez.
The Italian giants have agreed personal terms with the want-away striker, but their request to take him on a six-month loan – with an option to buy – has been rejected by the English club.
However, Galliani has now admitted that an imminent meeting with the Premiership giants has been pencilled in.
“We have an appointment with Manchester City on Thursday,” Galliani commented. “However, it probably won’t be the decisive one to conclude a deal.
“Right now I think it is almost impossible for us to take Tevez to our winter retreat in Dubai. Catania’s Maxi Lopez remains on stand-by.”
Whereas Milan initially only want the forward on loan, City want to sell outright which may favour Paris Saint-Germain.
However, there are reports that PSG sporting director Leonardo, an ex-Milan player and Coach, doesn’t want to interfere with the Rossoneri’s plans.
“I often hear from Leonardo,” Galliani continued. “I hope that he doesn’t want to act against us…”
Allegri has doubts for Cagliari
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri admits that he still doesn’t know his starting XI for Tuesday’s trip to Cagliari.
The Rossoneri travel to Allegri’s former club for their re-arranged Week 1 tie which could see them go back to the top of the table.
“I have doubts in midfield and in attack,” the tactician stated on Monday afternoon. “I’ll evaluate things tomorrow.
“Goalkeeper Christian Abbiati? Yes, he could return to the line-up.”
Milan have won eight of their last 10 League games – drawing the other two – but they are still a couple of points away from League leaders Juventus.
“We can’t get this game wrong,” Allegri continued. “These are important points for the championship.
“We know that the Cagliari game won’t be easy as they are a team who don’t leave you much space in which to play.
“We’ve made an excellent recovery in the League and we could be mentally tired, but I want one more push.
“You also win the League when you collect wins in games in which you actually don’t play well.”
Despite their charge up the standings, the Rossoneri do have their problems – especially in attack where only Zlatan Ibrahimovic is scoring with consistency.
“I’m sure that all the strikers will start scoring – Alexandre Pato and Robinho will get goals,” added Allegri.
“However, it’s a good sign that the midfielders are scoring. The midfield has produced 13 goals already and we’re not even at the half-way stage yet.”
Ibra has 10 Serie A goals, Robinho and the sidelined Antonio Cassano have two, while Pato and Stephan El Shaarawy have one goal so far.
Allegri was also asked for his thoughts on his contract situation seeing as his deal is set to expire in June 2012.
“I don’t think there will be any problems,” he added. “I am talking to Vice-President Adriano Galliani about it.
“It’s only normal that discussions are about money, but once we’ve agreed on that then there will be no other issues.”
AC Milan squad to face Cagliari
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has named a 22-man squad for Tuesday’s Serie A game at Cagliari.
Allegri, who bossed the Sardinian outfit before his switch to San Siro in 2010, is looking to take his side back to the top of the table.
Milan are currently two points behind leaders Juventus who will play at Udinese on Wednesday evening.
The Rossoneri are still without first choice right-back Ignazio Abate, but goalkeeper Christian Abbiati could return to the starting XI.
Goalkeepers: Abbiati, Amelia, Piscitelli.
Defenders: Antonini, Bonera, De Sciglio, Ely, Mexes, Taiwo, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta.
Midfielders: Ambrosini, Aquilani, Boateng, Emanuelson, Nocerino, Seedorf, Van Bommel.
Attackers: El Shaarawy, Ibrahimovic, Pato, Robinho.
Allegri will sign AC Milan extension
Milan have insisted that there is no danger that boss Massimiliano Allegri will leave the club over the summer.
The tactician’s contract is set to expire in June 2012 and he’s yet to put pen to paper on a new agreement.
“Allegri will certainly be here with us next season,” noted Vice-President Adriano Galliani. “During these times we have to spend carefully, but we’ll reach an economical deal with him.
“Nevertheless, we’ve always chosen our Coaches based on the type of football that they play because we want a Milan who play well.
“After all, there is a way to win and also a way to lose. Milan have always been a side who want to impose their own brand.
“Allegri is a Coach whose Sassuolo and Cagliari sides played good football.”
The former Pescara player moved to Milan in the summer of 2010 and instantly delivered the Scudetto at his first attempt at San Siro.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have offered the tactician a deal worth €2m a season plus bonuses.
Allegri, meanwhile, is asking for a €2.5m deal with fewer bonus payments.
Spaletti: 'AC Milan can rival Barcelona'
Zenit St Petersburg boss Luciano Spalletti believes Milan can challenge Barcelona in this season’s Champions League.
The two teams have already faced each other in the group stages after a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou and a 3-2 win in Italy for the Spaniards.
Barcelona were crowned world champions on Sunday to underline their strength, but Spalletti has faith in the Rossoneri.
“I like Barcelona, but Milan are good,” the former Udinese and Roma tactician told Minuti di Recupero.
“Milan are the strongest side in the Italian championship and they are the prime candidates to win the Scudetto again.
“In my opinion, Milan are one of the few sides around who can challenge Barcelona right now.”
Milan, two points behind Serie A leaders Juventus, will face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Holders Barcelona will be up against German opposition Bayer Leverkusen when the European Cup resumes in February.
Maxi Lopez sale almost certain
Catania have stated that there is a “90 per cent chance” that they will sell Maxi Lopez in January – but not necessarily to Milan.
The Argentine was in tears on Sunday after scoring in the Sicilian derby against Palermo which intimated that a move was on the cards.
Italian champions Milan are very keen on the former Barcelona player, but they are not the only interested party.
“There is a 90 per cent chance that Maxi Lopez will leave,” Catania director Pietro Lo Monaco noted on Monday to Radio Anch’io Lo Sport.
“There is already an agreement in place with Milan, but we are also in possession of other offers for him.”
Milan have made it clear that they’ll only make a move for Lopez should they fail to sign Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.
“To give Milan one of our players is something to be proud of,” Lo Monaco continued. “The Rossoneri have asked us for time and 15 days have passed since then.
“We, as a small club, will just have to deal with anything that happens.”
Lopez, 27, moved to Catania in January 2010 after a spell on loan at Gremio. He’s also played for River Plate, Barcelona, Mallorca and FC Moscow.
Tevez just wants us, say AC Milan
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has talked January transfers. “Carlos Tevez only wants to join us!”
The Rossoneri have made Manchester City an offer for the Argentine after agreeing personal terms with the striker.
City, though, have rejected the Italian outfit’s loan request as they would rather sell outright to a club like Paris Saint-Germain.
“It all depends on Manchester City and the player,” Galliani told Radio Anch’io Lo Sport on Monday. “Manchester want to sell, whereas we want him on loan with an option to buy.
“The player, though, wants to join us and not Paris Saint-Germain. He wants Milan and that is it. We hope he arrives as he’s a player who we really like and we think he could give us a helping hand.”
Should the champions miss out on the South American, then they already have a back-up plan in the shape of Maxi Lopez.
“Yes, he’s the alternative,” Galliani continued. “We’ve already spoken to Catania.
“It seems that there are important and under-rated players in mid-table sides. That was the case with Antonio Nocerino at Palermo and I think that Maxi is a valid alternative to Carlos.
“We’ll see what happens and we are used to last-minute swoops…”
Milan have also been paired with a new stopper after Mario Yepes was sidelined until the middle of March with injury.
“In defence we have got Philippe Mexes back so, despite the injury to Yepes, we think we can manage without bringing in a new defender.
“The good news for the midfield is that Gennaro Gattuso should be back in January and then Mathieu Flamini will also return.
“We are just missing an element numerically in attack. We wouldn’t have done anything had Antonio Cassano not had his problem.”
The Italian international may miss the rest of the season after he underwent minor heart surgery.
Maxi Lopez: 'I'm ready for AC Milan'
Maxi Lopez reveals why he wept as he saluted the Stadio Massimino in the Sicilian derby. “I am ready for Milan.”
The Catania striker converted a penalty in the 2-0 victory over Palermo and was in tears as he left the field, hugged by every member of the bench.
“I was emotional because this was a very important day. It is also my son’s birthday,” explained the Argentine, who is expected to join Milan in January.
“It was a tough week and I want to thank my teammates and the whole staff, especially the medics for getting me ready. This goal was also important for the fans, as they really care about the derby.
“Will I join Milan? I feel mature right now, so if an offer arrives, then the club will deal with it. We’ll see what happens in January. I am ready.”
Siena slam AC Milan penalty
Siena President Massimo Mezzaroma said Milan only won last night “with an own goal and a penalty they wouldn’t even give on Mars.”
The hard-fought 2-0 result at San Siro came from Antonio Nocerino’s deflected shot and a debatable spot-kick awarded for Kevin-Prince Boateng’s clash with goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic.
“I was in the stands and asked myself how certain penalties can be awarded,” protested the President.
“Boateng clearly dived on to Brkic. It’s crazy. Up until that moment the referee had done well, but he and the linesman really got it wrong.
“Considering the referee’s position, I can give him the benefit of the doubt, but the assistant was right there with a clear line of vision.
“I have to compliment my players, because they did very well. At the end of the day, Milan won with an own goal and a penalty they wouldn’t even give on Mars.
“We were also a little unlucky, as Francesco Bolzoni’s shot in the first half went wide by a matter of centimeters.”
AC Milan: 'Manchester City rejected Tevez bid'
“At the moment Manchester City have rejected our offer for Carlos Tevez,” confirmed Milan chief Adriano Galliani.
The Vice-President has agreed personal terms with the player, but City do not want to release him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
“Milan are only looking for a striker on the transfer market after Antonio Cassano’s health problem,” Galliani told Sky Sport Italia.
“At the moment Manchester City have rejected our offer for Tevez. If it is accepted, then good, otherwise he won’t come to us.
“We will meet with City again and try to convince them from here to January 31. If we do not succeed, then either another striker will arrive or nobody at all.”
The Rossoneri have made a name for themselves as bargain hunters in recent years. They snapped up Antonio Nocerino from Palermo for just €500,000 in the final minutes of the transfer session and he has already scored six Serie A goals.
“I really liked Nocerino and always thought he was an undervalued player who belonged at a top club,” explained Galliani.
Allegri hails AC Milan patience
Massimiliano Allegri admits Siena gave Milan problems, but hailed their patience and Antonio Nocerino.
“In the first half we had patience and risked going a goal behind,” said the Coach of their 2-0 victory.
“After the break and our opening goal, it was much easier. I asked Clarence Seedorf to play on the right because with his technical quality I thought he’d make trouble for Siena. Once I saw they were attacking us down that flank, I moved Nocerino there.
“Tonight was not an easy game and it was important to get the three points. When you play badly and still win, it’s a good sign.”
Nocerino broke the deadlock with his sixth goal of the season, already a new personal best.
“I hope he gets to 15 goals. He has already got six and is proving he is a player who belongs at Milan,” continued Allegri.
“The thing about matches like this is if you don’t break through straight away, then you must find the strength to keep playing until you find the right opportunity to score.”
There were also doubts about Kevin-Prince Boateng’s clash with the goalkeeper for a penalty.
“I think it was a spot-kick.”
Serie A: AC Milan 2:0 Siena - match report
Scorers: Nocerino 54 (M), Ibrahimovic pen 63 (M)
Milan had a tougher job than expected, but eventually pushed Siena aside 2-0 with Antonio Nocerino and a dubious penalty.
The Rossoneri had to completely reshuffle their defence, losing Ignazio Abate and Luca Antonini the day before the game. They joined Alessandro Nesta, Mario Yepes, Gianluca Zambrotta, Christian Abbiati, Antonio Cassano, Gennaro Gattuso and Mathieu Flamini on the treatment table, so Philippe Mexes got his first Serie A start for the club with Daniele Bonera re-routed to right-back. Siena hoped to end a run of three consecutive defeats, but missed Simone Vergassola and Nicola Belmonte.
As expected, Milan dominated possession from the start and pegged Siena back into their own half with Antonio Nocerino’s volley off target, though Reginaldo also drilled wide at the other end. Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s deflected half-volley skimmed the bar after a lucky ricochet, but on 20 minutes Robinho’s disguised pass released Kevin-Prince Boateng, forcing Brkic into a desperate one-handed save from point-blank range.
However, Siena went even closer, as Francesco Bolzoni sprung the offside trap on Taye Taiwo’s error and drew out Marco Amelia, but the angled drive dribbled inches wide of an open goal.
Clarence Seedorf tried to squirm his way through a crowd of Siena defenders, eventually seeing his finish deflected wide by Cristiano Del Grosso.
An Ibrahimovic backheel flick set up Seedorf for the low drive that Brkic needed a couple of touches to control.
After the restart, Siena went on the counter from a Milan corner kick, but Angelo’s cross-shot was too close to Amelia with Emanuele Calaio waiting in the middle.
Milan eventually took the lead on 54 minutes thanks to Nocerino’s sixth goal of the season. He had already set a new personal best with five, so this was an extra bonus. A corner was passed out to the edge of the box for Nocerino’s daisy-cutter with slight deflection to beat Brkic at the near post.
The Rossoneri went on a rapid counter-attack with Robinho who spread the play for an unmarked Boateng. He already appeared to be falling as Brkic came tearing out at his feet, but it was also a very clumsy attempt at a challenge. The referee awarded the dubious penalty, which Ibrahimovic converted with a powerful finish into the near top corner.
Brkic made an unorthodox save on the long-range Alexandre Pato snapshot, the ball flying straight up into the air, then crossed back in for Ibra’s header. Pato had another great chance when he exchanged passes with Nocerino to carve the Siena defence apart, but some desperate defending charged down his tap-in for a corner.
Amelia had his palms stung by a Bolzoni diving header at the near post, then from that corner Claudio Terzi nodded over.
Milan: Amelia; Bonera, Mexes, Thiago Silva, Taiwo; Seedorf (Aquilani 55), Van Bommel, Nocerino; Boateng (Emanuelson 73); Ibrahimovic, Robinho (Pato 65)
Siena: Brkic; Vitiello, Rossettini, Terzi, Del Grosso; Angelo, Bolzoni, Gazzi (Grossi 60), Reginaldo (D’Agostino 57); Brienza (Destro 82), Calaiò

Ancelotti: 'Italians better than British'
Carlo Ancelotti believes Milan are “superior to Arsenal,” while Napoli can eliminate Chelsea.
Both Italians have been paired with English clubs in the Champions League final 16, while Inter take on Olympique Marseille.
“I am a Milanista through and through, so when I am cheering on my team, I find it difficult to be rational,” confessed the former Coach in the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“In any case, I think Milan are superior to Arsenal. Massimiliano Allegri has great champions, as Arsenal don’t have anyone like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, nor Pato or Robinho.
“They do have Robin Van Persie, that is true, but we also have Alessandro Nesta and Thiago Silva. Milan are the favourites, but I won’t forget Arsenal knocked us out of the Champions League in 2008.
“Arsenal are a side who always try to play their football and move it around, as that is the philosophy of the club. In order to reach the quarter-finals, Milan have to ensure their greater individual technique makes the difference.
“Arsenal had a bad start and were hammered at Old Trafford by Manchester United, but they are back on track now. I follow Arsenal regularly and can confirm they play pretty well now.”
Ancelotti is also a former Chelsea manager, but is cheering on Napoli in their showdown.
“Italian football has made steps forward and the English game is not in great shape, what with Manchester City and Manchester United’s elimination.
“Napoli already achieved something remarkable by beating a City side that is dominating the Premier League, so I don’t see why they can’t repeat it.
“Of course, it requires a great performance, but Walter Mazzarri’s team can improve a lot from now to February. Chelsea try to make possession their main strength, while Napoli are very dangerous when they win the ball back and go on the counter.
“If that’s the situation, then Chelsea have to be very wary of the pace shown by Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Edinson Cavani, Christian Maggio and the rest. They are absolutely deadly on the counter-attack.
“After a difficult period, Chelsea seem to be back in shape. It all depends on what physical condition the teams are in when the games come round. The only advantage Chelsea might have is their international experience, but I believe Napoli’s enthusiasm and grit can bridge that gap.”
Inter have a trip to France against Didier Deschamps’ side Olympique Marseille.
“With a great deal of patience, Claudio Ranieri is trying to put the season back on its feet. In my view, in the long run, he will do it. The Nerazzurri have world class players and in the Champions League quality does make the difference.”
Prandelli: 'Italians can progress'
Italy Coach Cesare Prandelli is confident Milan, Napoli and Inter can progress in the Champions League. “They have the right mentality.”
Serie A is the only League with three remaining representatives in the final 16. Milan take on Arsenal, Napoli face Chelsea and Inter have Olympique Marseille.
“I am certain the Italian teams have a great chance of going through, quite aside from the prestige of their opponents,” said Prandelli.
“So far they have shown good capabilities, as our sides are growing in terms of mentality and attacking approach, especially away from home.
“You can also tell a consolidated identity in the way they control the field.”
In the Europa League, Lazio take on Atletico Madrid, while Udinese face PAOK.
Wenger on 'difficult' Champions League draw
“It is a difficult draw, but an exciting one, and they could say exactly the same thing I suppose. It is a 50-50. Ideally, it is a draw for one round later, but you take them when they happen.
“Everybody knows Milan, everybody knows Arsenal. We have been in the Champions League for many years and both sides play positive football.”
Arsenal overcame Udinese in the third round of qualifying to make this year’s group stages.
“We have been up to the task every time in this competition so let's make sure we are again.”
Antonini and Abate miss Siena
Milan are facing a shortage of defenders this weekend as both Luca Antonini and Ignazio Abate are ruled out of the Siena match.
Already without Alessandro Nesta and Mario Yepes until the new year thanks to respective thigh strain and ankle injuries, the club have confirmed that they will welcome Siena to San Siro on Saturday night without first-choice full-backs Antonini and Abate. Christian Abbiati is also still unavailable in goal.
In announcing the squad of 19 that will prepare for tomorrow’s match, the Rossoneri declared that Antonini is out through back pain and that Abate suffered a sprained ankle in training.
It could see unsettled Nigerian Taye Taiwo and League novice Mattia De Sciglio deputise on the flanks, with Daniele Bonera alongside Thiago Silva in the centre of defence. Alternatively, Bonera could play at right-back with centre-back Philippe Mexes pushed back into the first team, but perhaps ahead of the club’s intended schedule.
Squad to face Siena: Amelia, Roma, Bonera, De Sciglio, Ely, Mexes, Taiwo, Thiago Silva, Ambrosini, Aquilani, Kevin Prince Boateng, Emanuelson, Nocerino, Seedorf, Van Bommel, El Shaarawy, Ibrahimovic, Pato, Robinho
Sannino: Siena to create identity
Siena Coach Giuseppe Sannino has revealed how he is preparing his players for Saturday night’s tough challenge away to Milan.
The Tuscans arrive at San Siro in Week 16 having never won away to the Rossoneri in the League and with Sannino himself on his first visit to the stadium as a Coach.
With League form, history and experience pointing towards a one-sided affair, Sannino has revealed how he intends to focus his players away from the inevitable.
“Let’s go with the knowledge that we have seen what we possess within,” began Sannino, perhaps in reference to the midweek Coppa Italia win at Palermo. “The boys have the opportunity to play with carefree, mentality free.
“I have told my players to enter the field as the unknown, without a face, without a name on the back. Then leave the field having well-defined our identity.”
Sannino then reflected on what will be his coaching debut at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium.
“When I was a player, for two days before a friendly with Torino I was overwhelmed by tension in Asti. Today, more or less, I feel the same, but tomorrow none of this will count.”
Manchester City: AC Milan not alone in Tevez race
Manchester City have warned Milan that they are not the only club interested in signing Carlos Tevez.
The Rossoneri have finalised personal terms with the striker, but they have yet to reach an agreement with the English club.
The Italians admitted this week that they are prepared to wait until the last hour of the transfer window to get their man, but the English outfit have questioned such tactics.
“You know there are more clubs than just Milan interested in Tevez,” stated City official Brian Marwood to Sky Sports News.
“If they choose to wait until the end of the window then they may pay that price if other clubs come in before them.”
Milan want to take the striker on a temporary basis in January before possibly signing him outright at the end of the season.
“The position hasn’t changed,” added Marwood. “Milan came to us with a loan option, which was something we rejected and that still stays the same.
“Clearly Milan have decided to conduct their business through the media. That's something we choose not to do and will continue not to do and things haven't changed – Carlos Tevez is still a Manchester City football player.
“I don’t know what will happen,” he added.
“He's made his desire to leave the football club known. The club have gone on record to say they will consider that and it just really depends on us receiving something that is acceptable to Manchester City.
“That's no different to where we were before and that will not change. We'll have to see what the next three to four weeks bring.”
The Gazzetta dello Sport suggested today that Milan would hold talks with City at some stage next week in an effort to reach a compromise for the 27-year-old striker.
Allegri: English sides not in crisis
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri insists English football is still to be respected after they were drawn to play Arsenal in the Champions League.
The Premiership have only two teams in the last 16 after Manchester United and Manchester City failed to get out of the groups.
“I don’t think English football is in crisis,” the former Cagliari tactician told Sky Sport Italia on Friday afternoon.
“Manchester City, who don’t have European experience, were in a tough group along with Bayern Munich and Napoli. Manchester United’s exit was a surprise though.”
As well as the Rossoneri facing Arsenal, Napoli will take on Chelsea and Inter have been paired with France’s Marseille.
“Inter have got the easiest game out of the Italian sides, while it will be difficult for us and Napoli too,” he added. “Chelsea are very strong on the European stage.
“We know Arsenal, they are a team who play good football and who are doing well again. We need to get to February in the best physical shape and, hopefully, without any injuries.”
Asked whether winning the European Cup was a bigger target than retaining their Italian title, Allegri answered cautiously.
“Our objective right now is to collect as many points as possible in our next two League games. We had a slow start to the season, so we’ve had to catch up. Our next matches are very important.
“Only in February will we concentrate on the Champions League. If we repeat the same mistakes we made in Prague and Minsk during qualifying then it will be hard to get through.”
Milan, who went out of the competition to Tottenham last season, will host Arsenal on 15 February and the return will take place on March 6.
Buffon doubts Tevez worth
Gianluigi Buffon believes Juventus would not benefit from Carlos Tevez and has questioned Milan’s necessity to sign him either.
The wantaway Manchester City forward had been linked in recent weeks with both the Turin and Milan sides. The Rossoneri have put in an offer to take the Argentine in January and are now waiting on his club’s decision amid reported competition from Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite the player’s goal-scoring record in recent seasons and the reportedly low price the player is available at - almost half his summer valuation - Buffon believes he is not a player that would add value to the Bianconeri.
“In the event that he is at Juve, I have no idea if he will improve us. In attack we are covered, in numbers and quality, and I do not know if someone like Tevez has other problems.
“To get great results, everyone needs to pull in the same direction and you have to set aside the ego and the self. Speak in the plural.”
The Italian goalkeeper, who recently equalled Dino Zoff’s caps record between the Azzurri sticks, also went on to question whether Milan need Tevez either.
“In attack Milan are so strong, they have no big problems - with Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Pato and then the returning Cassano and Inzaghi.
“In short, they are well covered. It is clear, though, that the assessment is their business.”

AC Milan to meet Manchester City for Tevez
Milan will hold talks with Manchester City at some stage next week to discuss the possible transfer of Carlos Tevez.
The Gazzetta dello Sport today claims that the two outfits will meet in an effort to do a deal for the Argentine.
The Rossoneri have agreed personal terms with the want-away striker, but their offer to take him on loan is understood to have been rejected by the English side.
With Paris Saint-Germain now entering the race for the former West Ham and Manchester United man, the Italian club have decided to set up a get-together with City.
Milan are hoping to get the South American on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy him outright in the summer for around €25m.
City, who haven’t used the player since September after his relationship with boss Roberto Mancini broke down, would rather sell outright immediately.
Some stories yesterday also suggested that Juventus had actually contacted the English outfit about a possible bid.
Juve director Pavel Nedved is reported to have spoken to Mancini, with speculation suggesting that the Turin giants could make a €21m offer.
Ambrosini's advice to Tevez
Massimo Ambrosini is eager to give Carlos Tevez some advice. “Coming to Milan would be a very positive situation for him.”
The Manchester City striker is considering his future amid reports of interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Boca Juniors.
“If it’s true that PSG have made a more economically advantageous offer than Milan, then Tevez has to make a certain choice,” said Ambrosini.
“Without showing a lack of respect for the French side, coming to Milan would be a very positive situation for him.”
The captain was asked whether the arrival of Tevez would cause problems within the locker room.
“We do have a lot of players and Antonio Cassano might return earlier than expected, but if Tevez were to arrive, then we’d all be very happy.”
Boateng: 'I quit Ghana for AC Milan'
Kevin-Prince Boateng reveals why he retired from international duty with Ghana. “I did it to win with Milan. Carlos Tevez is perfect for us.”
The midfielder surprised many when he announced he would no longer be playing for Ghana at the age of 24.
“It isn’t an easy situation and my family didn’t really understand my decision, but I’d like it to be respected,” he told Milan Channel.
“In my life I have already had six knee operations and many injuries. I am challenging for top honours at Milan like the Scudetto and Champions League, so did it to be at my best for the club. I did it to win with Milan.”
Boateng could have a new teammate in January, as the Rossoneri are in negotiations with Manchester City for Tevez.
“I really like him as a player, he is so gritty and determined. He attacks the defender and scores plenty of goals. Plus he defends too, so Tevez is perfect for us.”
Tevez agent rubbishes Boca link
One of Carlos Tevez’ agents has played down comments published this week that suggested he was keen only to play for Boca Juniors.
Argentine newspapers ran quotes on Wednesday from the player that had him complaining of travelling to Europe and intimating that he would like to train with old club Boca and play for them in the Copa Libertadores.
However, one of his representatives, Adrian Rouco, looked to clarify the situation with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Those are old statements, said before Milan came on the scene. Carlitos has not spoken with anyone since and expects Manchester City to reach a decision on his future soon.”
Tevez is understood to have offers from both Milan and Paris Saint-Germain to move this January, even as PSG deny they are in the running.
Taiwo's Newcastle option
Milan defender Taye Taiwo could join former Inter full-back Davide Santon at Newcastle United this January, according to reports.
The Nigerian left-back only joined the Rossoneri on a free transfer in the summer from Marseille, but recently spoke of the frustration at failing to hold down a regular place at San Siro.
Having managed just two League starts under Massimiliano Allegri, the 26-year-old hinted via French publication L’Equipe this week that he may consider a January switch. His agent also suggested the same possibility exists, even if the player’s primary intention is to remain with the Italian champions.
Reports in England are linking Taiwo with Newcastle United. In the market for a left-back to replace Jose Enrique, the Tyneside club are understood to have turned their attentions to a loan deal for the Milan man after being warned off first-choice PSV Eindhoven’s Erik Pieters.
Further reports are linking Arsenal with a move for the international who has been capped 48 times by his country, after they recently lost regular full-back Andre Santos to a long-term injury.
No Tevez or Balzaretti PSG bids
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has rejected claims that the club have made moves for Carlos Tevez and Federico Balzaretti.
Manchester City striker Tevez has agreed personal terms with Milan, but the Italian side are rumoured to be facing competition from PSG for his January services.
“We have never made a formal offer to Tevez or to the club for that matter,” Leonardo told L’Equipe on Thursday.
The Argentine striker is looking for a new club after falling out with City boss Roberto Mancini in September.
Meanwhile, the former Milan and Inter tactician has dismissed speculation that Balzaretti will arrive from Palermo in the New Year,
“It’s clear that he won’t come to PSG,” the Brazilian is quoted as saying. “Everyone knows that, including the player and Palermo.”
Reports in France yesterday suggested that the Italian international was in the country talking to PSG. Palermo later denied that story.
Balzaretti would like a move to Paris as his wife performs as a ballerina in the French capital.
AC Milan to get Natali for Christmas?
Milan will consider bringing in a new centre-back during the winter transfer window as cover for Mario Yepes.
The Colombian was yesterday ruled out for the next 10 weeks given the need for surgery on his right ankle.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, the Rossoneri will subsequently make a move for Cesare Natali of Fiorentina.
The Italian champions were expected to make a bid to net the player in the summer once his Viola contract had expired.
However, Milan could now offer the Tuscan club a nominal fee for a stopper who they will lose on a Bosman in June 2012 anyway.
Milan are also worried about the fitness issues hampering the campaigns of centre-backs Philippe Mexes and Alessandro Nesta.
Thiago Silva commits to AC Milan until 2020
A possible move to Barcelona is the last thing on the mind of Milan centre-back Thiago Silva. “I want to stay here.”
The Brazilian international is consistently being paired with the Nou Camp outfit given his status as one of the world’s best defenders.
However, speaking to Milan Channel, the 27-year-old has committed his future to the reigning Italian champions.
“My plans are to remain here until June 2016 and then I’d like to renew my contract for another four years,” he stated.
“I actually hope that Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani is watching this interview so he knows what steps to take.”
Silva, formerly of Juventude, Porto and Dynamo Moscow, joined Milan for the 2009-10 campaign from Fluminense.
He’s scored twice in 19 games for the Diavolo across all competitions so far this season.
El Shaarawy part of Maxi Lopez deal?
Catania are ready to loan Maxi Lopez to Milan in return for the services of Stephan El Shaarawy, it is being suggested.
The Rossoneri have targeted the Argentine as a back-up should they fail to sign primary objective Carlos Tevez from Manchester City in January.
The Sicilian club are ready to deprive themselves of the former Barcelona man, but only if they get the youngster in return.
El Shaarawy, part-owned by Genoa, moved to San Siro in the summer but the 19-year-old has been limited to just 198 minutes of action so far.
Genoa recently admitted that they and Milan may decide to loan him to a smaller club, who could offer him more playing time, after Christmas.
El Shaarawy, an attacking midfielder who can also be used in a wide role, is, on paper at least, a good fit for the tactics of Catania boss Vincenzo Montella.
Tevez: 'I want Boca!'
Carlos Tevez has reportedly told the media in Argentina he “only wants Boca Juniors” rather than Milan or PSG.
The Manchester City striker agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri last week, but it seems as if he has already changed his mind.
“Milan? I only want Boca Juniors,” he was quoted as telling newspapers in Argentina.
“I am tired of travelling to and from Europe. You can be certain I’m never going back to England.
“I want to play the Copa Libertadores with Boca and am prepared to give up large sums of money to make this happen.”
Only this evening Milan President Silvio Berlusconi reiterated the offer to take Tevez on loan would not be increased, even though Paris Saint-Germain have proposed a more financially advantageous package.
Berlusconi: 'Does Tevez want money or prestige?'
Silvio Berlusconi warned Carlos Tevez he must choose between PSG’s money or “a prestigious club like Milan where he can win everything.”
The striker is set to leave Manchester City in January, but the Rossoneri want him on loan whereas Paris Saint-Germain can offer €30m and much bigger wages straight away.
“Tevez has two choices,” the patron told Sky Sport Italia. “Milan represent prestige and the ability to win everything, including the Ballon d’Or. Paris Saint-Germain represent a large intake of money.”
There were reports Alexandre Pato would be offered to Manchester City as part of the deal to bring in Tevez.
“Pato is a great player who recently hasn’t expressed himself to his full potential. In football you need goals to win and in order to score, he has to be closer to the penalty area.”
Berlusconi also confirmed Coach Massimiliano Allegri is all set to renew his contract.
“He is doing very well and the contract renewal is not up for debate. We have already made the decision and it will be done.
“Milan want to be protagonists and can win the Scudetto again, while we can also do it in Europe. We’re in the final 16 of the Champions League, just like Barcelona, a side who play the kind of football I’d like to see more of at Milan.
“We already have a large squad and there are players like Thiago Silva who can take on numerous positions. He can be a midfielder and, with his class, also a striker.
“I make exceptional efforts, as Milan cost me €50m per year for the last two seasons. I think last term it was actually €90m. I always acted with great generosity for this club, sometimes excessively.”
AC Milan suffer Yepes loss
Italian champions Milan could be without Mario Yepes until March after he picked up an injury.
The Colombian veteran, 35, damaged his right ankle in the 2-2 Serie A draw at Bologna last weekend.
Tests on Wednesday morning have confirmed some ligament damage and the need for surgery.
The former Chievo man, one goal in six League games this term, will reportedly be sidelined for 10 weeks.
AC Milan receive Abbiati boost
Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati could return to the starting XI for Saturday’s Serie A game against Siena.
The former Italian international has missed his club’s last three League games after picking up a shoulder injury.
The former Juventus man successfully came through a training session on Wednesday which suggests a return is very close.
Abbiati has been replaced in goal by 2006 Italian World Cup winner Marco Amelia.
The latter admitted responsibility for the 2-2 draw at Bologna over the weekend after allowing Alessandro Diamanti’s strike to get past him.
Sampdoria told not to sign Inzaghi
Sampdoria legend Gianluca Pagliuca has warned his former club to not make a January bid for Milan’s Pippo Inzaghi.
The veteran striker is expected to leave San Siro after Christmas in search of more playing time towards the end of his career.
Serie B outfit Samp have been paired with a possible bid, a move which the ex-goalkeeper thinks would be a mistake.
“It would be an error,” the ex-Italian international told Radio 103. “Inzaghi is 38 and I don’t think he is the right man for Sampdoria.
“They need a player who is hungry, who has a desire to make a name for himself. It doesn’t matter if they are unknown, they key thing is that they are ambitious.
“Inzaghi has had his career. It has been long and beautiful, but I don’t think he would go to Samp with great determination.
“You also have to consider Inzaghi’s current wage. I don’t think that Samp want to spend that kind of money.”
The former Juventus player has made three Serie A appearances so far this season, totalling only 34 minutes of action.
Calciopoli talks end with no peace
Those present at Wednesday’s Calciopoli peace talks have admitted that nothing has changed after a four-hour meeting.
A summit was held today at the headquarters of CONI – the Italian Olympic Committee – in an effort to bring an end to the controversy which has shadowed the Italian game since the sentences of 2006.
CONI chief Gianni Petrucci called for the get-together after Juventus started legal proceedings for damages after their demotion to Serie B five years ago. They were also stripped of two Scudetti.
Amongst those at today’s ‘peace table’ were Juventus President Andrea Agnelli and Inter counterpart Massimo Moratti.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani, Fiorentina patron Diego Della Valle, Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis and Italian Football Federation President Giancarlo Abete were also present.
“It was a long, friendly and correct meeting,” Petrucci noted. “But I must be honest and sincere, the subject of Calciopoli is still very hot so nobody changed their stance on the matter.
“There was a lot of good intentions, but no results have been obtained. I’ll certainly think very carefuly before planning another meeting.”
He added: “I’m disappointed, but we gave it everything and we’ll sleep without problems tonight. There was no result, but no defeat either.”
FIGC President Abete and Viola chief Della Valle also confirmed that nobody took a backwards step.
“There was no change in position,” Abete stated. “Despite all of the effort, it’s hard to heal a deep wound.”
Della Valle commented: “It was a civil meeting, but nobody altered their view.”
Inter’s Moratti, whose side were handed Juve’s 2006 title, refused to go into detail about what was discussed.
“All meetings can be constructive and everything can be useful,” he stated.
Agnelli, meanwhile, didn’t leave a comment after admitting that he would talk to the media at a later stage about today’s events.
AC Milan face competition for Maxi Lopez
Catania have claimed that Milan are not the only team interested in signing Maxi Lopez during the January transfer window.
The Argentine striker has been targeted by the Rossoneri as a possible option should they fail to net Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.
However, the Sicilian club have today revealed that the South American could actually end up elsewhere.
“We know that the player has expressed an interest in Milan and we have told him our opinion,” director Pietro Lo Monaco told Sky Sport Italia.
“We know the position of Milan and they know our position on the matter.
“We’ll see what happens over the next few days, but I can confirm that there are other clubs who have asked us for him too.
“It must mean that the player is greatly admired.”
The former Barcelona player, 27, joined Catania in January 2010.
Calciopoli peace talks begin
A meeting with the intention of archiving Calciopoli for good has begun in Rome on Wednesday morning.
The summit was organised by Gianni Petrucci, the head of the Italian Olympic Committee, after Juventus recently filed compensation claims for damages against their punishment back in 2006.
The Old Lady were stripped of two Scudetti and demoted to Serie B with a point deduction after a rapid sporting inquiry.
Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina were also hit by point penalties, but they were allowed to remain in Serie A.
The second of the two titles taken away from the Bianconeri was handed to Inter. Juventus, following revelations at the Napoli criminal trial, now claim that Inter’s title should be handed back.
Amongst those at today’s ‘peace table’ are Juventus President Andrea Agnelli and Inter counterpart Massimo Moratti.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani, Fiorentina patron Diego Della Valle, Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis and Italian Football Federation President Giancarlo Abete are also present.
“I’ve come to listen and contribute,” stated Moratti on his arrival. “We’ll look to take things one step at a time.
“A handshake with Agnelli? I don’t know. We’ll see…”
De Laurentiis noted: “I hope Juve and Inter make peace. You are calling this the table of peace, I prefer to call it a table for a restart.
“We’ve had enough of the talk, Italian football needs credibility.”
Della Valle stated: “I don’t know if the table is round or square... I’ve come to hear what Petrucci has to say. I don’t know what will be discussed.”
AC Milan won't give up on Tevez
Milan are prepared to wait until January 31 if it means signing Carlos Tevez, the Italian club have confirmed.
The Rossoneri are attempting to net the Manchester City player in January to cover for Antonio Cassano following his heart surgery.
While the Rossoneri have agreed financial details with the Argentine, their request to take him on loan has yet to be ratified by City.
To complicate matters, French giants Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly entered the race to sign him too.
“I know that there was a meeting between the player’s agent and Manchester City this morning, but I don’t know the outcome,” Vice-President Adriano Galliani told Sky Sport Italia.
“We’ll wait for Tevez until the last hour of the transfer window unless he signs for another club before then.
“Tevez is our first choice and you know what Milan’s position is, that of the player and Manchester City. We know that the player wants to come – we just hope he doesn’t agree terms with anyone else.
“We have up until 18:59 on January 31 to close the deal.”
The former Lega Calcio chief then rejected speculation that Tevez could actually arrive at the club as a replacement for the mis-firing Alexandre Pato.
“There is no chance that Pato can leave. If Tevez signs then it will be because Cassano has had the problem that we all know about. Pato, Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are untouchable.
“This isn’t a brilliant moment for him, but Pato is Pato. He scores almost a goal every two games. There is no Pato problem.”
The Brazilian won’t be sold by the reigning Italian champions, but unhappy summer signing Taye Taiwo could be released after his complaints over a lack of action.
“I’ve not read Taiwo’s interview, but I will. If the player wants to be sold then we’ll look to find a solution that suits everybody.”
It's my fault, says Amelia
Goalkeeper Marco Amelia has accepted responsibility for the 2-2 draw at Bologna. “Don’t blame my Milan teammates.”
The two teams met at the Stadio Dall’Ara last weekend in a controversial game that the Rossoneri were expected to win.
However, Amelia, who has recently replaced the injured Christian Abbiati, has admitted he was at fault for the dropped points.
“I’m hearing a lot of criticism aimed at my teammates for the draw at Bologna,” he told Milan News.
“However, I was to blame for the draw because I didn’t stop that shot from Alessandro Diamanti. It’s as simple as that.
“We were unlucky. We could have been top of the table and that just makes the result even more disappointing.
“Now we just have to focus on the games against Siena and Cagliari. A little false step at Bologna certainly shouldn’t stop us from our objective.”
The Rossoneri are two points behind joint-leaders Udinese and Juventus following the latest round of games.
AC Milan struggle when Pato plays
Alexandre Pato is statistically proving to be something of an unlucky charm for Milan so far this season.
The Rossoneri have amazingly won just twice in the 10 games which the Brazilian striker has made an appearance in.
A Milan side which included Pato beat Inter in the Italian Super Cup Final in August and then Chievo in Serie A. The other eight games have ended in draws or defeats.
The international has had his problems with form and fitness so far this season which has seen him score just one in six Serie A games and two in three Champions League ties.
In 552 minutes of action, the previously prolific forward has also grabbed only two assists for the Rossoneri.
Baresi lauds AC Milan's Tevez chase
Milan legend Franco Baresi has applauded the club’s proposed move for Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez.
The Rossoneri are attempting to sign the Argentine during the January transfer window and Baresi thinks it would be a fine swoop.
“If there is the possibility to enrich the squad then Tevez would be welcome,” the former centre-back told Sky Sport Italia.
“He is a great player and the numbers speak for themselves.
“He would certainly be able to make a major contribution here. Who wouldn’t want him at their football club?”
The Italian giants have agreed personal terms with the former West Ham and Manchester United attacker.
However, they have so far failed to convince City to hand him over on an initial six-month loan with an option to buy at the end of the campaign.
City, who haven’t used Tevez since September following a disagreement with boss Roberto Mancini, would rather sell him outright.
Paris Saint-Germain have also entered the race to sign the former Boca Juniors man.
Taiwo frustrated by AC Milan 'snub'
Taye Taiwo has admitted that he won’t stay at Milan if he fails to break into the plans of boss Massimiliano Allegri.
The Nigerian international joined the Rossoneri from Marseille in the summer, but he’s struggled to get a regular game.
Speaking to L’Equipe, the Bosman free signing has suggested that he’ll consider a move away from San Siro if he continues to be a spectator.
“I suffer every single day because I’m not playing football,” the left-back noted. “I came here to play and instead I’ve only featured in six games.
“I don’t understand how things work over here in Italy. Sometimes I’m left in the stands whereas I really need to play.
“Evidently Allegri doesn’t have faith in my abilities. It’s not really in my nature to stay in a situation like this.”
The 26-year-old has been paired with January moves to Newcastle, Werder Bremen and Galatasaray, amongst others.
Pioli: 'What the referee told me'
Stefano Pioli revealed what under-fire referee Gianluca Rocchi told him after the controversial Bologna-Milan game.
The official made numerous dubious decisions during the 2-2 draw, including penalty appeals from both sides.
“I’d rather not talk about the referee, as it’s fairer to discuss a very entertaining game,” said Coach Pioli.
“We said goodbye at the end of the game in a very cordial fashion. He told me that, even if he might’ve made some mistakes, he took the decisions that he considered to be right.
“It’s not easy being a referee, as they have negative and positive days too.”
It was a spectacular performance by the Rossoblu, who put Milan under constant pressure just days after they pushed Juventus to extra time in the Coppa Italia.
“It was a wonderful game. Milan are superior in technique and strength, but we held the field well without being passive. We went on the counter with a certain consistency and timing.
“We made life difficult for the Rossoneri and I have to praise my players for that. As for Marco Di Vaio, he just needed to break his drought, as not scoring for 10 or 11 games is tough for a striker who has netted 200 in his career.
“There was a little pressure on him, especially as he is the captain, but he always trained very hard and kept in shape.”
Seedorf: 'Tevez follows the money'
Clarence Seedorf says Carlos Tevez “will go where they can promise him the most money,” so probably not Milan.
The striker agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri, but Paris Saint-Germain have moved ahead in the race by offering €30m to Manchester City.
“Looking back at his career, his agents and every move he has ever made, I think Tevez will go where they can promise him the most money,” Seedorf told Sky Sport Italia.
“Milan would be the first time in his life that he has chosen a club for his career rather than the money. We’ll see what happens.”
Meanwhile, Seedorf also commented on the handling offence that was not spotted by the referee in today’s 2-2 draw with Bologna.
“The referee was just 10 metres away. From the television footage, it looks like a penalty, but I know the ball struck me on the shoulder.”
Allegri: 'Referee got it wrong'
Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri admits the referee “got it wrong” with regards to several penalty incidents against Bologna.
The spectacular 2-2 draw at the Stadio Dall’Ara was marred by a controversial performance from referee Gianluca Rocchi.
“Looking back at the footage, Clarence Seedorf did seem to handle in the box, but towards the end there was an identical handball not awarded for us,” said the tactician.
“As for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, I think he dived to earn the penalty. In any case, the referee got it wrong for both teams, so it wasn’t one-way the same we suffered against Fiorentina.”
This was the Rossoneri’s second consecutive 2-2 draw after a midweek stalemate with Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League.
“After taking the lead we defended badly and couldn’t even hold on to it for a minute. Our second half was not up to the task, even if we had a few good chances towards the end.
“We didn’t throw any points away here, though, as Bologna played very well to earn the result with real determination. Marco Di Vaio was excellent at moving between the centre-backs and Bologna were very rapid on the counter-attack.
“Milan made mistakes and we paid for them.”
Serie A: Bologna 2:2 AC Milan - match report
Scorers: Di Vaio 11 (B), Seedorf 16 (M), Ibrahimovic pen 72 (M), Diamanti 73 (B)
There was a sensational and highly controversial four-goal thriller, as Milan and Bologna were furious at the referee.
The Rossoneri aimed to continue their fine Serie A form, though Antonio Nocerino joined the injury list with Alessandro Nesta, Christian Abbiati, Gianluca Zambrotta, Mathieu Flamini, Gennaro Gattuso and Antonio Cassano. Nico Pulzetti was suspended for Bologna, who gave Jorge Crespo a rare start in defence.
Within three minutes Zlatan Ibrahimovic had unleashed a ground to air missile of a free kick from the left flank that rattled the crossbar. It was absolutely ferocious and kept the woodwork wobbling for some time.
However, it was Bologna who took the lead with a moment of magic from Marco Di Vaio. He broke on his own from the centre-circle on a long ball and as Marco Amelia came sprinting out of the box, Di Vaio brilliantly and bravely lobbed into an empty net.
The situation did not last long, as Clarence Seedorf gathered from Kevin-Prince Boateng just outside the D and smacked a stunning right-foot curler into the near top corner, where Jean-Francois Gillet had absolutely no chance.
Moments later Ibra burst on the counter down the left, but nobody was ready to tap into an empty net. Di Vaio drilled just wide of the near stick and Gillet had his palms stung by Ignazio Abate’s volley.
Milan had penalty appeals for a Gaby Mudingayi shove on Alberto Aquilani just 30 seconds after the Bologna midfielder had been booked. Aquilani had another great chance on 35 minutes, but Andrea Raggi got a toe to the cross to put him off from six yards and force a corner.
Ramirez went from end to end on the counter, but was too tired by the end to really trouble Amelia with his shot.
There was huge controversy in first half stoppages, as Seedorf blocked a Diamanti free kick with his outstretched arm. It was a blatant penalty, but the referee waved away protests and even booked the protesting Bologna players.
Within 90 seconds of the restart, Di Vaio had curled a splendid right-foot effort round Amelia and on to the base of the far post!
Diamanti also swung a simiar attempt just wide, then Ramirez slipped as he was pulling the trigger under pressure from Mario Yepes. Aquilani’s diving header from a corner whistled wide.
There was further controversy when the referee did point to the penalty spot. Ibra tried to pass to Alexandre Pato, who was offside, but it didn’t reach him and the ball returned to the Swede’s feet as he was kicked by Raggi. Ibrahimovic buried the spot-kick by sending Gillet the wrong way.
However, moments later it was 2-2, as Diamanti hit a daisy-cutter from distance that slipped off Amelia’s hand into the bottom near corner of the net. The goalkeeper committed a howler there, as it was within his grasp.
There were yet more penalty appeals as Ibra’s cross for Aquilani clearly struck Archimede Morleo’s arm, but the referee again waved play on.
An Urby Emanuelson snapshot flashed across the face of goal, then Di Vaio’s counter-attack was charged down in the box by Daniele Bonera, as the game remained end-to-end stuff.
Bologna: Gillet; Crespo, Raggi, Portanova, Morleo; Casarini (Perez 46), Mudingayi, Kone; Ramirez (Taider 76); Diamanti (Cherubin 84), Di Vaio
Milan: Amelia; Abate, Thiago Silva, Yepes (Bonera 62), Antonini; Aquilani, Van Bommel, Seedorf (Emanuelson 68); Boateng; Pato (Robinho 77), Ibrahimovic

AC Milan hope Tevez rejects PSG
There are reports Manchester City have accepted PSG’s offer for Carlos Tevez, but he still wants to join Milan.
The Rossoneri confirmed this week they have already agreed personal terms with the Argentine striker.
However, Adriano Galliani also stated that City had rejected their proposal to take him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season for €23m.
Instead, the Daily Mail now suggests Manchester City have accepted the Paris Saint-Germain bid of €30m outright.
It would seem to be over for Milan, but there is still the issue of Tevez and his intentions.
If the striker holds out and turns down the PSG move, Milan could be back in the running.
Serie A: Bologna vs. AC Milan - lineups
Bologna: Gillet; Crespo, Raggi, Portanova, Morleo; Casarini, Mudingayi, Kone; Ramirez; Diamanti, Di Vaio
AC Milan: Amelia, Abate, Thiago Silva, Yepes, Antonini, Aquilani, Van Bommel, Seedorf, Boateng, Pato, Ibrahimovic
Pioli: 'Bologna can beat AC Milan'
Stefano Pioli says Bologna “need the perfect game” to get something against Milan, but are buoyed by forcing Juventus into extra time this week.
The Rossoblu were in action on Thursday and only went out of the Coppa Italia to a 2-1 defeat in Turin after 120 minutes.
“There is not much difference between Milan and Juventus,” said the Coach. “However, the Rossoneri have something more, as Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are players who make the difference.
“Their approach to football also gives fewer reference points than Juve. We’ll have to be very sharp to understand the tactical situations that will develop, as Milan are unpredictable and very dynamic.”
That certainly does not mean Pioli is expecting a defeat at the Stadio Dall’Ara on Sunday.
“We’ve got to give it our all. We’re playing on home turf, are in good shape and coming off an important Serie A win against Siena.
“Obviously, we need the perfect game, ready to work hard and chase them down, using up all our physical and mental energy. But I know my team and they are ready to give 100 per cent to get a positive result.
“This is an important game for our growth, as we must step on to the field without the mentality of just accepting whatever comes, but rather to try and win the match.”
Manchester City reject AC Milan's Tevez bid
Adriano Galliani confirms Manchester City have rejected their proposal to sign Carlos Tevez on loan. “It’ll be a long negotiation process.”
The striker has already agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri this week, but their plan to take him on loan for a non-binding €23m option to buy at the end of the season did not go down well.
“We received an answer. You all know the situation,” Vice-President Galliani told Sky Sport Italia.
“Manchester City want to sell the player outright, while we want him on loan with the right to buy. We are a big club and if players do well then we take up their options.
“It’s true that Paris Saint-Germain are looking at the Argentine now as well, so I think it will be a bit of a long negotiation process. I spoke to Leonardo and he told me the President of PSG is interested in Tevez.
“In any case, I don’t want to make any predictions on the outcome of the negotiations, as there were many clubs on Tevez, including some Italians, an English side and PSG.
“We have already received City’s response to our offer and they are asking for the player to be signed outright, so I hope to convince them to accept our proposal.”
Galliani also commented on the other players who could leave in January to make way for Tevez.
“Pippo Inzaghi will decide his own destiny, while we’ll decide along with Stephen El Shaarawy what to do.
“If Tevez does not arrive, then we have a basic agreement with Catania for Maxi Lopez. He too is a great player, but in any case I’ll do everything possible to bring Tevez to Milan.
“As for Massimiliano Allegri, his contract until 2014 is already written. It’s a pure formality.”
AC Milan with Tevez: 'Best in the world!'
Massimiliano Allegri wants to keep Milan focused on Bologna, but also admits “with Carlos Tevez we’d have the best strike force in the world!”
The Rossoneri did the bare minimum to get through their Champions League group and are on a Serie A roll which they intend to maintain on Sunday.
“We know that we cannot make mistakes like the ones we made against Viktoria Plzen, especially at the end,” he said of their 2-0 lead fumbled for a 2-2 draw.
“I hope it can be a useful lesson ahead of tomorrow’s game with Bologna. We know the Rossoblu are a strong side and saw it midweek against Juventus in the Coppa Italia.
“From now until the Christmas break, we have three matches to play, therefore nine points, and must try to get the maximum result.
“I am certain that the Scudetto will be a race between us, Juventus, who will fight to the end, Napoli and Udinese. Last season we won the title three rounds from the end, but this term I’d be happy with the penultimate match.”
Allegri surprised many by naming his starting XI for tomorrow’s encounter at the Stadio Dall’Ara, including Alexandre Pato and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Naturally, talk around the Rossoneri has been focused around the personal terms agreed with Manchester City striker Tevez.
“During the break we will evaluate everything along with the club. We’ve got clear ideas, so if Tevez doesn’t arrive then I am happy with my squad.
“It’s always better to have champions alongside you than against you. If Tevez does arrive, then we’d have the best strike force in the world!”
AC Milan line-up: Amelia; Abate, Thiago, Yepes, Antonini;Van Bommel, Aquilani, Seedorf; Boateng;Pato, Ibrahimovic
Leonardo warns AC Milan about Tevez
Paris Saint-Germain chief Leonardo insists “the market is open” as they intercept Milan’s negotiations for Carlos Tevez.
This week the Rossoneri confirmed they had agreed personal terms with the player, but Manchester City have not yet replied to their proposal of a free loan with non-binding option to buy for €23m at the end of the season.
However, PSG have dived in with a bid of €30m up front, aided also by the fact the two Saudi owners of the clubs are related.
“Paris Saint-Germain have made no offer for Tevez, a player we had already made enquiries about in the summer,” director Leonardo told the Corriere della Sera.
“I spoke to Carlitos’ agent and know that he would prefer to join Milan, but I also know that Manchester City want to sell him outright and not send him out on loan.
“If City accept the idea of giving Tevez to Milan on loan, then the issue is closed. Otherwise the market is open.
“After all, with the Argentine’s wages how many clubs are ready to invest such figures? It’s obviously that the owners of PSG and City speak to each other, as they are related.
“However, let it also be clear that we are not trying to undercut or insult Milan. We were already interested in Tevez some time ago and if City don’t want to release him on loan to Milan, it certainly won’t be our fault. There is no subterfuge.”
Thiago Silva calls Tevez
9.12 || webmaster
Thiago Silva has called Carlos Tevez to join Milan. “This is the right place and we await him with open arms.”
This week the Rossoneri confirmed they had agreed personal terms with the striker, to arrive on loan with an option to buy in June, and are waiting for Manchester City’s response.
“Tevez is a player who makes the difference,” Thiago Silva told Sky Sport Italia.
“If he wants a team who can win everything, then this is the right place and we await him with open arms.”
There is competition, though, as Paris Saint-Germain have dived into the race and could offer more favourable terms to City.
Thiago Silva is no stranger to transfer rumours either, as he has repeatedly been linked with Barcelona.
“I am calm and think only of winning the Scudetto. There are many important players in this team who want the role of captain, but it would make me very happy.
“Wearing the captain’s armband is, for me, the most important objective at the moment. I want to play my entire career with this Milan jersey.”
His contract ties him to the San Siro giants until June 2016.
AC Milan consider Soldado bid
Now that Paris Saint-Germain have joined the race for Carlos Tevez, Milan are considering Roberto Soldado as an alternative.
The Rossoneri confirmed they agreed terms with the player, but are still waiting for a response from Manchester City over their free loan with non-binding option to buy proposal.
PSG have intercepted the talks in order to make a cash offer to City, so Milan may well have to look elsewhere.
It’s reported the alternative is Valencia striker Soldado, who like Tevez would be ineligible for the Champions League.
The 26-year-old has played for Spain at every level since the Under-15 team and joined his hometown club Valencia from Getafe in 2010 for €10m.
Nocerino out injured, Taiwo still with Milan
Antonio Nocerino will be out for at least a week after tests, but Taye Taiwo’s agent insists he’s staying with Milan.
Midfielder Nocerino limped off during the Champions League 2-2 draw with Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday and tests have now confirmed the left thigh twinge will keep him on the sidelines for at least seven days, when he will undergo further medical examinations.
On the other hand, Kevin-Prince Boateng has recovered from a back problem to face Bologna on Sunday.
It was reported Taiwo would leave Milan in January after failing to settle in his first six months of Serie A football, as the likes of Newcastle United are interested.
“We are not 100 per cent satisfied, but that doesn’t mean the player is not ready to fight for his place,” agent Fabio Parisi told MilanNews.
“I think he has had some difficulties settling in, especially when it comes to understanding the movement the Coach is asking for.
“However, Taiwo never gives in and therefore does not want to leave Milan. We’ve got to evaluate the situation and he has many admirers, but the idea is to stay with the Rossoneri.”
Taiwo off to Newcastle?
English club Newcastle are the latest outfit to be linked with a January move for Milan defender Taye Taiwo.
The Nigerian, 26, only joined the Rossoneri over the summer, but he’s finding it tough to feature regularly in the team.
Taiwo, a left-back, has played in just two Serie A games and four Champions League ties so far this season.
Galatasaray and Werder Bremen have also been associated with the player who left Marseille on a free transfer in June 2011.
Newcastle are said to be prepared to offer Milan €1m in exchange for the player’s loan. They would also get an option to buy him outright at the end of the season.
PSG want Tevez, admit AC Milan
Milan have confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race to sign Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.
The Rossoneri were thought to be in pole position for the Argentine forward after agreeing personal terms with the South American.
However, the Italian club’s request to take the player on loan with a summer buy-out option has yet to be accepted by the Premiership side.
In the meantime, the French giants have made a move for the former West Ham and Manchester United man.
“I can confirm that Paris SG have inserted themselves into this,” Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani commented.
“Nevertheless, our offer won’t change for him as a result and we’ll try until the very end to get Tevez here.
“Our objective is to sign him and have him train with us in Dubai during the winter break,” continued the former Lega Calcio chief.
“We’re waiting for a response to our offer, but there is time until the January transfer window closes.”
The Italian champions are looking for a new attacking threat given that Antonio Cassano may miss the rest of the season following heart surgery.
“Catania’s Maxi Lopez? He is of interest to us, but I can confirm that Tevez is our first choice and we’ll keep trying for him,” Galliani concluded.
Some other reports in Italy today also claim that Juventus are showing an interest in the available international.
PSG hijack AC Milan's Tevez deal?
Reports are indicating that Paris Saint-Germain are planning to hijack Milan’s move for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.
The player has reportedly already agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri after Vice-President Adriano Galliani met with his representative Kia Joorabchian on Monday evening, whilst it is also understood that the current Serie A champions have also sent off a formal proposal to the English side.
However, it is thought that the Qatari-owned French club, who are coached by former Rossonero Leonardo, are ready to come in with a stronger offer. Where Milan are after a six-month, low-cost loan followed by a rumoured €20m fee to secure the player on a full-time basis next summer, PSG are apparently ready with an immediate €25-30m offer to take Tevez permanently in January.
Tamin Al-Thani, who heads the Qatar Investment Authority that own PSG, is a cousin of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed.
Marseille join queue for Inzaghi
Marseille have become the latest club to be associated with unhappy Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi.
The veteran, now 38, is thought to be pondering a January exit after failing to feature in the regular plans of boss Massimiliano Allegri.
Inzaghi has made just two Serie A appearances in Serie A this season, while he wasn’t even included in the side’s Champions League squad.
Competition for places is also set to increase in the New Year with the Italian champions being paired with Carlos Tevez of Manchester City and Catania’s Maxi Lopez.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, French giants Marseille are very keen on the 2006 World Cup winner.
Marseille boss Didier Deschamps is an admirer and knows the player well after appearing alongside him during their Juventus days.
AC Milan midfield injury update
There is some good and bad news on the injury front for Milan ahead of Sunday’s game against Bologna at the Dall’Ara.
Summer signing Antonio Nocerino is a doubt after he picked up a problem in the Champions League game against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday.
Although the Italian international is improving following the 2-2 draw, it is being suggested that boss Massimiliano Allegri will not risk him against the Rossoblu.
Fellow midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng will also have to prove his fitness as he continues to battle a back problem.
There is more positive news about Mark Van Bommel though. The Dutchman should again be available for selection this weekend.
First choice goalkeeper Christian Abbiati is still out with a shoulder issue and will again be replaced by Marco Amelia.
Tevez too expensive for Inter
Inter chief Massimo Moratti has no regrets about missing out on Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez. “He was too expensive.”
The Argentine is close to a switch to city rivals Milan after agreeing personal terms, although City haven’t yet approved the proposed move.
The Nerazzurri were also interested in taking the South American in January, but talks didn’t get very far.
“I’m not disappointed about Tevez,” President Moratti told the Gazzetta dello Sport on Thursday.
“I’m presuming that Milan’s negotiations for Tevez are along the same lines as the terms which were discussed with us.
“We considered those as unacceptable.
“Nevertheless, we will do something during the January transfer window.”
Tevez is looking for a new club after falling out with Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini in September.
The 27-year-old is currently back in Argentina without the club’s permission.
Milan want to take the former West Ham striker on a six-month loan, with the option to sign him outright in the summer.
It is being suggested that Milan have agreed to pay Tevez €3m net for the rest of the season, before a more permanent contract of around €5m is signed.

Tevez - AC Milan deal 'not done yet'
There were reports Carlos Tevez could seal his move to Milan tonight, but his agents warn “it remains difficult to strike a deal with Manchester City.”
Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani confirmed on Tuesday evening that they had agreed personal terms with Tevez and agent Kia Joorabchian, then sent an official proposal to the Eastlands club.
“At the moment there are no developments,” FIFA agent and Joorabchian’s collaborator Giuseppe Riso told direttanews.it.
“It remains difficult to strike a deal with Manchester City, so this is a complicated transfer.
“Will it be sealed within hours? No, we are only at the beginning. There are many things still to be done.
“There is no agreement with City and the issues regarding the player also have to be deepened. We’ll resume talks in the next few days.”
Novara look to AC Milan duo
Novara are set to borrow two Milan starlets in January to boost their survival prospects, bringing in Stephan El Shaarawy and Mattia De Sciglio.
According to the latest reports, Novara are in advanced negotiations with the Rossoneri for a mid-season loan swoop.
El Shaarawy has found very little space at San Siro since joining and has also been linked with a return to Genoa, but Novara are the latest option for the Italian Under-21 international.
Defender De Sciglio had his first start in the Champions League during last night’s 2-2 draw with Viktoria Plzen.
He too could join Novara on loan for six months to develop his skills.
Taiwo will consider AC Milan exit
Taye Taiwo’s Milan career could come to an end in January, the defender’s representative has admitted.
The Nigerian joined the Rossoneri in the summer from Marseille once his contract expired.
However, he’s played in just two Serie A games and four Champions League ties for his new cub since.
“There are a few games left this year and then we’ll make some evaluations,” Fabio Parisi told calciomercatoweb.it.
“We’ll have to decide whether he should go and play for another club or stay at Milan to fight for his place in the first team.”
The 26-year-old, who spent seven years in France, has been paired with Galatasaray and Werder Bremen recently.
Tevez great for AC Milan, says Baggio
Italian legend Roberto Baggio has applauded Milan’s proposed swoop for Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez.
The Italian club have agreed terms with the player, but are still negotiating with City over a January move.
Tevez is being targeted as a replacement for Antonio Cassano – following his heart surgery – and Baggio is rather impressed with the possible transfer.
“I got to know about him and appreciate his skills while he was still playing for Boca Juniors,” Baggio, who played for Milan between 1995 and 1997, told Sky Sport Italia.
“He would be a great signing for Milan,” Baggio added. “He is a player who creates goals and also scores a lot himself.”
Tevez, 27, started his career at Boca and was a member of their first team squad for three years before his 2006 move to Corinthians.
The Argentine joined West Ham in 2006, then Manchester United a year later. In 2009, he signed for rivals City.
Mexes happy to be back
Philippe Mexes has asked Milan for patience in order to rediscover his top form after starting a game for the first time since April 3.
The defender, signed from Roma over the summer on a Bosman, was named in the XI for the 2-2 draw with Plzen last night.
Back in April, the Frenchman ruptured knee ligaments in a Serie A home defeat to Juventus. He also recently fractured his hand.
“Training can never replace games,” the centre-back admitted. “I’ve been waiting eight months for this moment.
“I was delighted to start the match. I have to thank the doctors and the medics who have helped me over these months.
“It wasn’t easy, it was a long journey and I’m happy that I have finally come out of the tunnel. Let’s hope the future is kind.”
Having returned to action, the former Auxerre man is now wanting to make a contribution to the Rossonero cause.
“I now need to familiarise myself with the team,” he added. “I’m working hard to give my contribution.
“I just need time now to have the confidence to help this team out.”
Tevez deal to be done today?
Milan could wrap up a deal with Manchester City for Carlos Tevez by the end of today, reports in Italy are suggesting.
The Rossoneri have agreed personal terms with the Argentine after holding talks with the striker’s agent over the last 48 hours.
“I’ve been in my office with Tevez’s agent and the situation is clear,” club Vice-President Adriano Galliani noted on Tuesday evening.
“Milan have an agreement with the player and just now we sent a proposal to Manchester City – a free loan with the right to buy at certain conditions.
“Why should City accept that? He is not playing, he’s a great player and if he does well with us then we’ll buy him.”
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have asked for a free loan but they are prepared to hand over €23m in the summer to buy the player outright.
Tevez is looking for a new club after falling out with City boss Roberto Mancini earlier this season.
The two clashed after the former Manchester United player allegedly refused to play in September’s Champions League game at Bayern Munich.
Whispers in the peninsula on Wednesday claim that City could give the deal the green light at some stage today.
Should an agreement be reached then Tevez will join up with his new teammates during their winter training camp in Dubai after Christmas.
Allegri furious in Prague
Massimiliano Allegri couldn’t hide his irritation after Milan dropped a 2-0 lead in Prague.
“A game like this should’ve been won, as we were leading by two goals,” he snapped after a 2-2 Champions League draw with Viktoria Plzen.
“We need to be gritty and determined to the 95th minute. It’s really disappointing that we come away with this result.
“The goal came from us losing the ball in midfield for a potential move of our own, but instead we conceded.”
Alexandre Pato and Robinho had struck in quick succession at the dawn of the second half, but were denied by Viktoria’s stoppage-time comeback.
“I can be satisfied with some things, as we played alright despite the new line-up, but it’s a shame to concede those goals.
“I’ll look on the positive side and say at least we won’t be making this mistake again anytime soon.”
The result was irrelevant, as Milan had already qualified in second place behind Barcelona, while Viktoria Plzen go into the Europa League.
This evening Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal, Olympique Marseille, Apoel Nicosia and Zenit St Petersburg all confirmed their place in the knockout rounds.
Champions League: Viktoria Plzen 2:2 AC Milan - match report
Scorers: Pato 47 (M), Robinho 48 (M), Bystron 89 (V), Duris 93 (V)
Alexandre Pato and Robinho had given Milan a 2-0 lead, but Viktoria Plzen snatched a point with the last kick of the game.
The Rossoneri rotated the squad, aware second place behind Barcelona was confirmed regardless of the results in this last round of games. Czech side Viktoria needed a point to be sure of third place and a spot in the Europa League, though simply BATE Borisov’s defeat at Barcelona would be enough.
Philippe Mexes and Mattia De Sciglio received their first starts in a Milan jersey. As expected, the home side had a very aggressive start, as Mexes and De Sciglio both got crucial touches to take a cross away from the two strikers in the middle of the box.
Mexes forced another corner at full stretch to anticipate Bakos, while from that set piece a spectacular Pilar volley sailed inches over the bar with Marco Amelia well beaten.
Petrzela was flagged offside in a very tight decision and Viktoria lost Jiracek to an injury after 28 minutes.
De Sciglio was not lacking in confidence, unleashing a fierce strike that was over from distance.
Neither was full-back Rajtoral, who went on a spectacular run from his one end of the pitch to the other, eventually forcing a save out of Amelia with his low angled drive.
Clarence Seedorf also drilled off target from the D, but Pilar broke away from De Sciglio to fire just wide of the near post with only Amelia to beat, then Cisovsky’s header was past the upright. Antonio Nocerino also went off, making way for Thiago Silva in a more advanced midfield role.
Milan took the lead with their first genuine scoring opportunity straight after the restart. Robinho chested down a cross from the right for Alexandre Pato, who took it past his marker and dribbled round the goalkeeper to deposit into an empty net.
Less than a minute later, it was 2-0. A long Taye Taiwo clearance was flicked on by Robinho, who had time and space to exchange passes with Pato to tear apart the remaining shreds of the Viktoria defence and pass it under the bar.
Massimiliano Allegri’s half-time talk must’ve had a great effect, as Milan were a totally different team to the sluggish, apathetic side of the first 45 minutes. Pato threatened a third when he went on the counter and cracked a shot against the base of the upright.
Viktoria had the ball in the net, but it didn’t get them back into the game. Petrzela skipped past Taiwo and beat Amelia at the near post with a daisy-cutter that thumped the woodwork, but when Kolar tapped into an empty net, he was offside.
Seedorf tested Cech from distance, but the Viktoria fans were celebrating, as BATE Borisov conceded a spate of goals in Barcelona, meaning third place was secure anyway. Amelia fingertipped a Rajtoral effort on to the side-netting and 16-year-old Bryan Christante received his Champions League debut.
There was action at both ends in quick succession, as first Pato tried to lob the goalkeeper and only hit his chest, then on the counter Bakos hit the post.
Viktoria did get their deserved goal in the final minute, as Bakos rolled across the six-yard box for Bystron’s tap-in, as the Milan defence was caught out.
The home side desperately wanted an equaliser, if only for pride, and goalkeeper Cech went up for the final free kick, but Amelia just about scrambled it away.
The Czechs kept pushing and drew level deep into stoppages to send the fans wild in Prague. Daniele Bonera’s poor clearance allowed Cisovsky to prod it into Duris’ path and the substitute took his chance quickly from eight yards.
Viktoria 2-2 Milan
Viktoria Plzen: Cech; Rajtoral, Bystron, Cisovsky, Limbersky; Jiracek (Darida 28), Horvath; Petrzela, Kolar (Duris 67), Pilar (Hora 84); Bakos
Milan: Amelia; De Sciglio, Mexes, Bonera, Taiwo (Zambrotta 90); Emanuelson, Ambrosini, Nocerino (Thiago Silva 40); Seedorf; Robinho (Christante 81), Pato

AC Milan reportedly agree terms with Tevez
There are reports in Italy that Milan have agreed terms with Carlos Tevez for €3m until June, then €5m per season plus bonuses.
It is well known that the Rossoneri have been in intensive negotiations with agent Kia Joorabchian for the last couple of days.
According to the Corriere dello Sport and Calciomercato.it, a basic agreement has been reached for the Manchester City star.
Tevez is set to receive €3m in wages from now until June, then a three-year contract worth €5m per season plus performance-related bonuses.
It’s also reported Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani called Tevez to speak to him directly after the deal was struck.
Milan will now send a fax to Manchester City asking for Tevez on a free loan until June and the non-binding option to buy for somewhere between €15m and €20m.
Mancini: 'Italy good for Tevez'
Roberto Mancini has declared that he would be happy to see Carlos Tevez leave Manchester City for an Italian club.
Premier League side City are looking to offload the 27-year-old Argentine international after he fell out with Coach Mancini for allegedly refusing to come off the bench during a Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
The club fined and suspended the player, whilst he has since failed to return from exile in Argentina.
His agent Kia Joorabchian was photographed having dinner with Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani on Monday evening and reports indicate that further talks between the Rossoneri and Tevez’ representative will happen on Tuesday.
It is understood that the Italian champions are keen on negotiating an initial six-month loan deal for the striker who was City’s top scorer in 2009-10 and 2010-11.
Speaking ahead of his side’s return leg with German side Bayern in the Champions League, Mancini was asked once again of the latest developments surrounding the former Corinthians forward.
Whilst denying knowledge of any potential deal, Mancini did admit that Italy would represent a good move for him.
“I do not know what the situation is with Carlos at the moment. I think it is important for us to sell him. We can do it for him and for the club. If he has the chance to go to Italy, I’d be happy for him.”
Van Basten denies AC Milan link
The agent of Marco Van Basten has dismissed theories that the Dutch legend could replace Massimiliano Allegri at Milan in the summer.
Allegri’s contract expires in June and although both parties insist that he will extend until 2014, Van Basten has been paired with his former club.
“There is absolutely nothing,” representative Perry Overeem told calciomercato.it. “Allegri is doing really well and I think he will extend his agreement at Milan.
“There was contact between us and Milan in the past – but that was before Allegri arrived at the club.
“Allegri is Milan’s boss and he’s doing a great job.”
The former Cagliari tactician joined the Diavolo in the summer of 2010 and won the Scudetto at his first attempt.
Van Basten, who spent eight years at Milan as a player, has had coaching spells with the Dutch national squad and Ajax.
Catania: Maxi Lopez - AC Milan deal exists
Catania have confirmed that they have a verbal agreement with Milan over the January transfer of Maxi Lopez.
The Argentine has been linked with a switch to the Rossoneri and the Sicilian club have admitted that a deal in on the horizon.
“There is a full agreement with Milan,” Catania director general Pietro Lo Monaco stated. “We just have to agree which week to finalise everything.”
Milan are looking for a new striker as cover for Antonio Cassano, who is recovering from heart surgery.
According to reports, Lopez will arrive even if the Italian champions manage to sign Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.
While Tevez could replace Cassano in the squad, Lopez may step in for Pippo Inzaghi who looks set to leave the club in January.
Nocerino: Look at me now
Midfielder Antonio Nocerino is happy to have silenced his critics so soon after his initial struggles at new club Milan.
The Italian international joined the Rossoneri on transfer deadline day for just €500,000 – seeing as he had less than a year left on his Palermo deal.
The former Juventus player, though, took his time to settle at San Siro – but he’s now responded with five goals in 12 Serie A games.
“At the start there were people who were rather sceptical about me being here,” Nocerino told Milan Time.
“I’m happy that things have changed so quickly…”
Milan, like Nocerino, had a slow start to the campaign, but a string of positive results have seen them move to within two points of leaders Juventus.
“We believed we could climb back up the table,” added the 26-year-old. “Our physical condition is better than it was. We are more aggressive and we’re winning games.”
Milan, who are away to Bologna on Sunday, have won seven of their last eight matches in the Italian top flight.
Tevez to AC Milan talks continue
Milan met with Carlos Tevez’s agent on Monday night and will do so again on Tuesday as talks regarding a possible January move continue.
The Rossoneri are interested in signing the Argentine international after his relationship with Manchester City broke down.
Milan may be without Antonio Cassano for the rest of the season, following his heart surgery, and Tevez is wanted as cover.
Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani dined with the player’s agent Kia Joorabchian in the city’s Giannino restaurant last night.
“Tevez is training and wants to return to being a protagonist with a great club in January,” stated Joorabchian.
“Milan are a great club, even if there are other Italian sides who have asked me for information about him as well.”
Netting Tevez is not problem free though for the reigning Italian champions – both in terms of doing a deal with City and the player himself.
Speculation suggests that Milan are willing to hand the Manchester club €2m for his six-month loan, then pay a further €15m in the summer to sign him outright.
In terms of salary, there are claims that Milan could offer the forward €3m net from January until May, before proposing a €5m a season agreement.
Allegri promises impetus and Mexes
Philippe Mexes is set for his first start in a Milan shirt in midweek as Massimiliano Allegri rings the changes but warns ‘Milan want a good result’.
The Rossoneri are away to Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night in their final Champions League group stage match already aware that they will finish second in the group. However, Plzen need just a point to secure third spot in the group.
With this in mind, Allegri promised the Press upon arrival in Prague on Monday that Milan will remain motivated for the tie.
“The stimulus for the team will be strong, because we are playing in the Champions League. We all want a good game and a good result. We are also keen to do well in the last three League games before Christmas.
“Tomorrow will be difficult because they want to qualify for the Europa League and need just a point. To clarify, we ought to give our best because they also played well at San Siro.”
Allegri has also confirmed the starting line-up that he intends to deploy in the game. While Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva drop to the bench, Allegri hopes to bring in Philippe Mexes for his first start for Il Diavolo and also keep faith with Robinho in attack.
“Ibra will start from the bench and I will then decide whether to use him or rest him completely. Tomorrow Thiago Silva will also only start from the bench.
“It is true that there are some young players with us, but above all I want to evaluate the return of Mexes after so long.
“Robinho has different characteristics than Ibra and Pato, he is a player of great movement and despite what everyone says, he is good enough in front of goal. Last year he scored 15 goals.”
Whilst Plzen are without a home win in the competition proper yet, Milan have not won away to Czech opposition in European competition since 1972-73.
“The Champions League and Serie A are two different competitions, especially when the Champions League reaches the knockout stages, because from that moment you face the best in Europe. Undoubtedly it has a different charm to the League.”
Allegri then finished the Press conference on a light-hearted note.
“Viktoria are an organised team, I barely remember the names, but they are good and fast and in the reverse fixture caused us some problems.”
Intended Milan starting line-up to face Viktoria Plzen: Amelia; De Sciglio, Bonera, Mexes, Taiwo; Nocerino, Ambrosini, Emanuelson; Seedorf; Pato, Robinho
Galliani: 'Tevez? Don't make me lie'
Adriano Galliani has given his strongest hint yet that Milan are focusing their January transfer activity on securing Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez.
In Florence on Monday to be inaugurated into the Italian Football Hall of Fame for his leadership work in the game, Milan's Vice-President Galliani was asked by reporters of the Rossoneri’s reported interest in the wantaway Argentinean forward.
This followed an earlier report on Monday from La Gazzetta dello Sport. They ran quotes from Galliani that suggested that Manchester City had given him permission to speak with the player's representatives, but that official negotiations with the club had not yet begun.
Whilst still refusing to confirm in Florence if talks with the English club have begun, Galliani also cryptically refused to this time deny so too.
“Tevez? Do not make me tell lies on the day I am being awarded. We will talk about it in the next few days.”
Galliani was more forthcoming, though, in reflecting on Milan’s recent good form that saw them briefly top the table over the weekend.
“We have made a great recovery, we picked up 22 points in eight games, it could have been 24 points but we couldn’t do it. After the defeat to Juventus we were at least six points behind, now we are just two.
“The championship is very long, we’ll see what happens. However, Juve are earning first place, they are playing very well.”
Allegri has faith in misfiring Robinho
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has defended Robinho from criticism after his recent errors in front of goal.
The Brazilian incredibly failed to score from a favourable position against Genoa on Friday night, but the tactician is standing by the attacker.
“Robinho has played well over the last few games,” the former Cagliari boss said ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League game against Plzen.
“He just needs to stay serene and, like last year, have a great season by scoring 15 goals. He’s not the only player in the world to have missed a chance.
“You can’t doubt Robinho because he’s missed two scoring opportunities. A Serie B player missed even more of a sitter recently…
“By the time the championship comes to an end, we won’t be missing the goals of Robinho or Alexandre Pato either.
“Pato is well, he just needs to play and he will do at Prague tomorrow.”
Robinho, 27, has scored two goals in eight League games this term.
As well as Pato, the Milan boss has confirmed that summer signing Philippe Mexes will play in the Champions League this week after recently fracturing his hand. He has selection worries though.
“Mark Van Bommel is not available. Gianluca Zambrotta has just returned after two days of having a fever. Kevin Prince Boateng has picked up a back problem too.”
Milan have already qualified behind group winners Barcelona, but the Coach still wants a performance from his players.
“The game doesn’t count for anything, but we are Milan and we’ll have to play to win. Coming off the pitch with a negative result wouldn’t be good for our mental state – it would anger us and we don’t want that.
“It should be a good training session as we’ll play on Tuesday and then again on Sunday. We’ll have a good deal of time to recover.”
Allegri then switched his attention to Serie A and Juventus – the League leaders who are currently two points above the Rossoneri and Udinese.
“When a side [Juventus] is unbeaten after 13 games then it means that they are good technically, they have character and everything needed to fight until the very end,” he added.
“We have to do the best we can during our next three League games before Christmas. We’ll look to end the solar year in the best shape possible.
“Inter? They are 13 points from us and 15 from Juve. There are a lot of sides in between us too, but they have what is needed to climb back up the table – especially when Wesley Sneijder and Douglas Maicon return.
“They can start a winning streak of games.”
There was also the inevitable question about the January transfer market, a subject which doesn’t interest the tactician right now.
“We are close to the window and it is normal that there is talk of Carlos Tevez and others. But what counts is that our squad will be like this until at least January 1 and I’m happy with it.”
Milan squad: Amelia, Roma, Piscitelli (No 51); Abate, Antonini, Bonera, De Sciglio, Mexes, Taiwo, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Yepes; Ambrosini, Boateng, Cristante (No 34), Emanuleson, Innocenti (No 35), Nocerino, Seedorf; Ibrahimovic, Pato, Robinho.
Ibrahimovic is Number 1 in his head
Milan superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic insists he doesn’t need a Golden Ball to prove how good a player he is.
The 2011 Ballon d’Or award is expected to go to Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, a former teammate of the centre-forward at the Nou Camp.
However, the ex-Ajax, Juventus and Inter striker has told Telefoot that he doesn’t have any doubts over his own ability.
“Messi is a really strong player and I hope he continues to be one,” the Rossoneri ace is quoted as saying.
“He’s still very young, but he’s won almost everything that there is to win in this game,” he continued.
“In my head, though, I am the strongest of them all.
“I certainly don’t need a Golden Ball to demonstrate that I am No 1.”
The three nominees for this year’s FIFA Golden Ball are set to be revealed later on Monday.
UEFA suspend Aquilani
UEFA have suspended Alberto Aquilani after confirming a case of mistaken identity during Milan-Barcelona.
Alessandro Nesta was booked for the nudge on Xavi that gave Barca a hotly contested penalty in the first half of that 3-2 Champions League result.
The push was actually done by Aquilani, who had already been carded during the match, so would have been sent off.
As Barcelona won 3-2 anyway, UEFA have simply moved the yellow card to Aquilani’s record and therefore he is suspended against Viktoria Plzen.
Allegri 'will stay at AC Milan unless...'
Massimiliano Allegri reveals he “will stay at Milan save for surprises” and what everyone expected of Antonio Cassano.
“I don’t think there will be any problems over my contract renewal, as everything is fine with President Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani. I will stay at Milan save for surprises, and thank the club for this opportunity,” he told Verissimo.
“The Champions League is one of our objectives, but we’ll only get serious with that in February. Before then we’ll give our maximum efforts to Serie A, as we cannot afford to take our foot off the accelerator.”
Allegri won the Scudetto at his first attempt in a big club and has generally handled the many egos in the Rossoneri locker room.
“The players have really helped me in that, as they always give the right response whether facing a problem or accepting the bench. Of course, it’s understandable to be a bit angry, but it always passes quickly.
“Do some of them party too much? Well, they are still young men and we can’t expect them to spend all day at home. They can have fun, of course, but the important thing is to do it judiciously. They are professionals and must behave like them.”
One of the fieriest characters in Italian football is Cassano, who arrived a year ago after he was frozen out from Sampdoria.
“Antonio is above all a great champion. When he first came here, everyone was afraid of some crazy behaviour, but I was very happy to have him. Now he has settled in brilliantly. Mario Balotelli? Maybe he’d have the same reaction.
“Cassano is on the road to recovery after the heart surgery, though I don’t know if he’ll manage to be fit in time for Euro 2012. Now he needs to focus only on recovering.”
Nocerino answers sceptics
Milan revelation Antonio Nocerino has set a new personal best for the season already. “It’s easy for people to say nice things about me now.”
The midfielder was signed from Palermo in the final minutes ahead of the transfer deadline and is proving to be a great bargain.
He was on target in Friday’s 2-0 win over Genoa, setting a new personal best with his fifth of the campaign.
“There were quite a few sceptical voices about me. It’s nice because things change,” smiled the Italian international.
“I always knew the most important thing was to do my talking on the pitch. The rest disappears so quickly.
“Of course, it’s easy for people to say nice things about me now.”
Ibrahimovic enjoys AC Milan freedom
Zlatan Ibrahimovic reveals his tactical freedom is behind his form for Milan and reassures Robinho after missing an open goal.
The Swede earned and converted a penalty in Friday’s 2-0 victory away to Genoa.
“We scored in the second half, but created plenty of chances throughout the game and if we continue like this then it’ll be hard to stop us,” said Ibra.
“We’re giving great responses away from home, where we impose our football on the game and score regularly.
“My position? I like to be free on the pitch. The Coach gives me this possibility and for the moment it works.”
Less effective is Robinho, who blazed over an open goal against both Barcelona and Genoa in recent weeks.
“He’s a good guy and has great heart. These things happen and I’ve experienced it too. Once he scores one, another 20 will follow.”
Serie A: Genoa 0:2 AC Milan - highlights
Allegri enjoys leadership
Massimiliano Allegri reassures Robinho after another incredible miss and enjoys Milan’s Serie A leadership status.
“We are top for a couple of days, then if Juventus overtake us, we’ll just have to accept it. The important thing was to win in a difficult arena,” said the Coach.
Their 2-0 victory away to Genoa came thanks to a Zlatan Ibrahimovic penalty and Antonio Nocerino tap-in, but Robinho wasted the chance to finish the game when ballooning over from a yard.
“After going 1-0 up we played well for a few minutes. The second goal was what we needed to definitively secure the result.
“Robinho contributed to the goal with a great move. I compliment him for his assist in the penalty incident. As for the miss, football is like that, at times you miss incredible chances and at others you score out of nowhere. It happens.”
The Rossoneri have charged back into the Scudetto race following a poor start and kept a fourth consecutive clean sheet.
“We are playing decidedly well, but still need to improve in the way we control games,” added Allegri.
Serie A: Genoa 0:2 AC Milan - match report
Scorers: Ibrahimovic pen 56 (M), Nocerino 79 (M)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Nocerino secured Milan’s 2-0 victory in Genoa after former teammate Kakha Kaladze was sent off, temporarily putting them top.
The Rossoneri were hoping to continue their climb up the table and were in splendid form, but Alexandre Pato pulled out an hour before kick-off when he came down with a flu virus. Instead, Robinho stepped into the starting XI, while Alessandro Nesta, Christian Abbiati, Gennaro Gattuso, Mathieu Flamini and Antonio Cassano were injured. Genoa top scorer Rodrigo Palacio sat out a ban, so Lucas Pratto and Bosko Jankovic led the way.
Within 90 seconds Marco Rossi just about managed to get his toe to the ball just as Antonio Nocerino had chested down and was ready to pull the trigger. Nocerino threatened again as he burst forward through the middle, but this time Sebastien Frey sprinted off his line to smother.
Play had to be halted after 15 minutes, as there were scuffles outside the stadium and tear gas floated into the arena, affecting fans, players and the referee. It has long been a tense fixture, especially after Genoa fan Vincenzo Spagnolo was stabbed to death outside San Siro on January 29 1995, which is why Milan fans weren’t allowed to travel for this game until last year. Once the gas had dissipated, the teams came back on to the pitch.
When play resumed, Kevin-Prince Boateng’s daisy-cutter struck the side-netting, while Ignazio Abate’s low cross went past two dummies for Nocerino to skim the back post. Moments later, Frey beat away a Zlatan Ibrahimovic left-foot snapshot. Milan were piling on the pressure, as Ibra threaded through for Massimo Ambrosini, who tripped just as he was pulling the trigger.
Genoa finally emerged as Miguel Veloso tried to score directly from a free kick down the right side of the pitch, forcing Marco Amelia to fingertip over the bar. Giandomenico Mesto intercepted a Thiago Silva clearance and was tackled in the box by Mario Yepes, then flashed a shot across the face of goal. Veloso pounced on another poor clearance for Amelia to block on the ground.
However, after the restart ex-Milan defender Kakha Kaladze went very late on Ibrahimovic for a penalty and second yellow card. It was Genoa’s fifth sending off of the campaign. The Swede got back on his feet to smash the penalty under the crossbar.
Robinho fired over from a yard against Barcelona last week, but someone managed to repeat the trick! On the hour mark Alberto Aquilani steered a ball back from the by-line and the Brazilian horribly ballooned over an open goal.
However, Genoa threatened an equaliser when Rossi’s backheel flick from a low Alexander Merkel cross skimmed the base of the near post.
Milan did double their lead when Boateng skipped past his marker down the left and flashed a ball across the six-yard box for Nocerino to tap in. It was his fifth goal of the season, already a personal best for the ex-Palermo midfielder.
It could’ve been 3-0, but Nocerino’s screamer was palmed away with one strong hand by Frey, but it still represents Genoa's first home defeat since April.
Genoa: Frey; Granqvist, Dainelli, Kaladze; Mesto, Veloso, Constant (Merkel 69), Rossi, Moretti; Pratto (Jorquera 88), Jankovic (Ze Eduardo 77)

Catania OK with Maxi Lopez deal
Catania’s Pietro Lo Monaco has hinted that talks with Milan over the January transfer of Maxi Lopez are not yet completed.
Reports earlier this week had suggested that that two teams were close to an agreement that would see the Argentine striker move to San Siro in the winter transfer window, if the Rossoneri fail to capture primary target Carlos Tevez.
However, even as the finer details of the proposed deal were being reported on Friday - TuttoMercatoWeb speculating it is a free loan with an agree future fee of between €6-7m - Catania sporting director Lo Monaco suggested to milannews.it that the two clubs are not yet on the same page.
“We know nothing, there are always the same talks. Catania’s position is clear and everyone knows what it is.
“We are together at the Lega and we speak about a lot of things, also about Maxi Lopez, yes. Meetings with Milan? I do not know, nothing is planned.
“Would I recommend Galliani to buy Maxi? Giving advice to Galliani is the last thing I can do, as he is the most successful CEO in Italy. I can only say that Maxi is an important player, young and is a good prospect.
“Tevez? I honestly do not know what the Milan’s strategies are. Tevez is a great player, but is of a significant cost and he cannot play in the Champions League this season. Milan already have important players up-front.”
Tevez targeted by Corinthians
Brazilian club Corinthians will rival Italian giants Milan in a bid to sign Carlos Tevez from Manchester City in January.
The Argentine international is looking for a new team after he fell out with City boss Roberto Mancini for allegedly refusing to play against Bayern Munich in September.
The Rossoneri have held talks with the player’s agent, but they are not the only club keen on the striker.
“I want to sign Tevez,” said Corinthians’ chief Andreas Sanchez. “We are going to hire a top-class player for 2012 and I hope it will be Tevez.
“I don't know how much we would cost us, but if Tevez decides to move then I'm sure he will play for us.
“If Tevez leaves Europe then he will come to play for Corinthians.”
Milan want to sign the 27-year-old on a loan deal initially, but with an option to buy him outright in the summer of 2012.
Inzaghi to Parma unlikely, says Ghirardi
Parma have admitted that they would probably not be able to tempt Milan’s Pippo Inzaghi to join them in January.
Inzaghi is reportedly considering his options after barely featuring for the Rossoneri so far this season. He was also omitted from their Champions League squad.
The 38-year-old has been paired with Parma, a club he played for in 1995-96, but the Gialloblu have played down the rumours.
“I would be a hypocrite if I said it wasn’t my dream to have such an important player here,” stated President Tommaso Ghirardi to Radio Monte Carlo.
“We are friends, he’s an excellent guy, but we haven’t spoken about these sorts of things,” added the Tardini chief.
“I think it would be hard for him to leave a club like Milan and play for a provincial side who can’t offer him the stage he is used to.
“Fortunately I have Hernan Crespo here. He’s a flag bearer for us and an idol for the fans. He scored 10 goals in the League last term when he was 35.”
Allegri - AC Milan: A deal will be done
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri and Vice-President Adriano Galliani are confident that they’ll agree terms over a new contract.
The tactician is only tied to the Rossoneri until June 2012 and he has yet to put pen to paper on a fresh deal.
“Galliani has said that I will stay until 2014 and I have explained to both him and President Silvio Berlusconi that it is my ambition to remain here,” the Coach noted.
“On my part, there is no problem and it has never seemed to me that the situation could be any different. We just have to wait a while so that we can talk and define everything.
“It’s true that anything can happen as the contract hasn’t been signed, but there are no problems at all.”
The 44-year-old joined the San Siro outfit last year and he instantly won the Serie A title for the Diavolo.
“The signature will arrive,” Galliani told Sky Sport Italia on Friday. “We don’t need to put pen to paper today.
“It could arrive tomorrow, but it might not. There is no need for it to happen on a particular day as Allegri will stay with us next season and the season after.”
Allegri on Juventus, Genoa and Inzaghi
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri is confident that his side can end Juventus’ title dreams. “The season is still long.”
The Rossoneri boss, whose side are two points behind the Bianconeri leaders, was speaking today ahead of Friday evening’s Serie A game at Genoa.
“The last few matches have confirmed what Juventus have already shown this season,” the former Cagliari tactician noted.
“It wasn’t easy to come from two goals behind against Napoli on Tuesday and they also won at Lazio last weekend.
“Juve were one of the favourites before the start of the season and they have strengthened their position, but we have reduced the gap between us over recent weeks and we won’t give up.
“Over the last seven games we have won six and drawn one, making up four points. We must always give our best.”
Turning to Friday’s Marassi encounter, Allegri showed Alberto Malesani and his inconsistent Rossoblu respect.
“Malesani’s sides are always well organised,” Allegri noted. “Playing at Genoa is difficult too because they are pushed by their fans’ support and they’ll play with intensity.
“We have to do well and make sure that we have the footballing nastiness that you need to win games like this.”
The Rossoneri have impressed of late, but Allegri is hoping to stop Genoa scoring after conceding 10 goals away from San Siro in five games.
“We have to improve defensively on the road. We managed to keep a clean sheet at Fiorentina, let’s hope we do the same tomorrow.”
Allegri was then inevitably questioned about the possibility that 38-year-old Pippo Inzaghi could leave the club in January.
“He should stay at Milan because I think he’ll find space in the team over the course of the season,” the Coach continued.
“I’m not thinking about selling him in January, but if the player is unhappy... It’ll be something that would have to be evaluated between himself, the club and I.”
Merkel puts Genoa above AC Milan
Alexander Merkel is happy with reports that Milan want him back – but he says he’s happy at Genoa.
The German moved to Marassi from the Rossoneri in the summer in a co-ownership deal that saw Stephan El Shaarawy go in the other direction.
Genoa President Enrico Preziosi this week claimed that Milan had asked for Merkel to return to San Siro, but the patron insisted he is going nowhere.
“I’m happy that the two clubs are talking about me,” said the 19-year-old to Sky Sport Italia on Thursday.
“Saying that, I am also very happy to be here at Genoa and they are the only thing on my mind right now.”
The teenager, who was signed by Milan’s youth sector scouts, has started six games in Serie A for Genoa this term – totalling 517 minutes of action.
Boateng opts for Tevez
Kevin Prince Boateng has clear ideas about whom Milan should sign during the January transfer window. “We need Carlos Tevez.”
The Rossoneri are set to bring in a new forward to cover for the absence of Antonio Cassano after his recent heart surgery.
The Manchester City forward is liked, but Catania attacker Maxi Lopez has also been linked with the Diavolo.
“Maxi is playing well, but we need someone like Carlitos,” the midfielder told the Corriere dello Sport. “It would be excessive to sign both of them…
“Cassano is a champion and we miss him. You just have to look at what he achieved in the first four months of the season.
“Robinho and Alexandre Pato are as good as him, but Antonio has different characteristics so he can offer something different to the side.”
While a striker is set to arrive, another may depart with rumours suggesting that Pippo Inzaghi will move on in January.
“He knows where the goal is, but he is also 38,” Boateng continued. “It’s normal to lose a bit of pace, but I don’t decide whether he plays or not.”
Boateng joined the Rossoneri in 2010 from Genoa and he’s been a massive hit at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
“I’m happy here and I want to stay,” he commented. “I have a four-year contract and it is my desire to respect it.
“I play for a great club in a great city, but you never know what will happen in life.”

The AJL Story
AJL : In the Press
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR / MISSION
by Erica Lyons
Erica Lyons Editor-in-Chief
Welcome to the second India Issue of Asian Jewish Life (Issue 14). Early on in the process of working on this issue, it became clear to me that a third India Issue will need to follow shortly. There is such a tremendous wealth of information available on Jewish India and so many talented academics and researchers focused on the field of Indo-Judaic Studies.
We have included a great piece by Dr. Shalva Weil entitled The Legacy of David Sassoon: Building a Community Bridge. This article explores Weil’s understanding of David Sassoon's role in the rapproachement of the Bene Israel and the Baghdadi communities.
Also, though much of this issue is a celebration of Jewish life in India, we have included Navras Jaat Aafreedi's rather sobering explanation for the rise of Nazism and Hitler-worship in India, entitled The Paradox of the Popularity of Hitler in India. This piece is an important exploration of this seemingly recent phenomena in India.
On the lighter side, we have a great fictional piece by Sophie Judah, A Cup of Tea. This is actually a chapter from a larger, yet unpublished work, Tales of Grandpa Eli, also featured in Issue 13. A Cup of Tea is, in a rather appropriately timed fashion, set during Passover.
Also taking on the topic of Passover, Nissim Moses details some traditions unique to the Bene Israel in This Year in India: Celebration of Passover in the Bene Israel Tradition.
Returning to the literary side of things, we have an inspiring interview by Books Editor Susan Blumberg-Kason. Susan sits down with memoir author Jenny Feldon to discuss her book, Karma Gone Bad: How I Learned to Love Mangos, Bollywood and Water Buffalo.
Susan also reviewed two middle grade multicultural novels about girls with both Jewish and Indian roots. My Basmati Bat Mitzvah by Paula J. Freedman and The Whole Story of Half a Girlby Veera Hiranandani are both recommended reads.
Also exploring themes of multiculturalism and identity is artist Siona Benjamin. I had the pleasure of speaking with Siona about her new exhibition Faces: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives and talking about identity with her. I was even lucky enough to be in New York to catch her exhibition at the Flomenhaft Gallery. Siona's work,"Fereshtini”, from an earlier collection, Finding Home, is featured on the cover of this issue.
Also looking at the beauty of Jewish culture from Cochin, we have Bala Menon who has contributed recipes from Spice & Kosher - Exotic Cuisine of the Cochin Jews by Essie Sassoon, Bala Menon and Kenny Salem. Spice & Kosher though is much more than a cookbook; it is a walk through history and a snapshot of Jewish life.
Michael Bender also walks through Cochin and talks about how Cochin, known as ‘G-d's Own Country’, touched him in The Beauty of Traversing Cochin.
Last, but most definitely not least, we have our Best of Asian Jewish Life feature. This feature first looks at the volunteer experience in the Jewish community of India of one young woman, Leah Robinson. Leah’s personal piece is entitled A Lesson on Strength in Small Numbers. In this feature we detail three opportunities available through the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to volunteer in India, like Leah.
Thank you again for reading!.
Chag kasher v'same'ach. Have a kosher and happy Passover from all of us at Asian Jewish Life.

Photo's of the Gods The Printed Image and Political Struggle
PINNEY,C., Photo's of the Gods The Printed Image and Political Struggle in India, Londen 2004. Softcover 19 x 25 cm. 238 pag. met 167 afb. waarvan 80 in kleur.
"Photos of the Gods' is the first comprehensive history of posters, postcards and other printed images that comprise a major dimension of India's popular visual culture. It traces the connections between the production and consumption of these images and the struggle against colonial rule. The detailed output of individual presses and artists over the decades is set against the intensification of the nationalist struggle and the constraints imposed by colonial state censorship, and a half-century of Indian independence since 1947. By combining anthropology, political and cultural history and the study of aesthetic systems, and by including many intriguing and unfamiliar images, 'Photos of the Gods' shows that India's current predicament and popular culture cannot be understood without taking into account this complex and fascinating visual history. The emergence of Indian-run chromolithograph presses in the late 1870s initiated a vast outpouring of images of an astonishin variety, an outpouring that today has come to dominate many of India's spaces, both public and domestic. Many interviews with both artists and publishers were undertaken for this book. Among the great variety of artists responsible for the almost bewildering, yet totally compelling, panoply of'photos of the gods' in India are those that trained in the colonial art schools, others whose skills reflect their membership of traditional painting castes, and yet others who began their careers as humble self-taught sign painters. These artists and the presses together helped make rather than merely reflect the politics of their day, hence 'Photos of the Gods' is not a history of the art of chromolithography but reveals how popular visual culture contributed to history in the making in India."

FRECOT, J.(a.o.), HENRY RIES Photographien aus Berlin, Deutschland und Europa 1946-1951, Berlin 1988. Soft cover 24 x 19 cm. 179 pages Pages 52 to 179 photographs. Cover some trace of a removed sticker[see photograph]. Good copy.
"Henry Ries (September 22, 1917 – May 24, 2004) was a photographer who worked for New York Times. His most famous photo was of "The Berlin Air Lift" which was later made into a U.S. Postage Stamp commemorative.
Berliners watching a C-54 land at Tempelhof Airport (1948)[see book cover]
Ries was born in Berlin and grew up in Germany, but sensed the impending doom of Hitler's political style and, as a Jew, emigrated to the United States in 1937. Immigration officials in New York sent him back to Nazi Germany because of technical problems with his papers. Fortunately, Ries was permitted to enter America in January 1938, having crossed the Atlantic twice to do so.
When America entered World War II, Ries immediately joined the army and fought in the Asian Theater, humorously pointing out that he served in Asia due to his "good German" skills. He was stationed in India with an aerial reconnaissance unit. After the war, in August 1945, Ries, still a soldier, returned to Berlin. He soon resigned from the army in order to work for the OMGUS Observer as a photojournalist. Two years later, he begin to work for The New York Times as a European photographer, photographing many of the scenes of destroyed post-war Germany including the destruction and Berlin blockade which have become iconic images. In 1951, Ries returned to the US and eventually turned to commercial photography. In 1955, he opened his own studio in Manhattan.
When he returned to Berlin in 1945, he pronounced the city forever changed. In his book, Abschied meiner Generation, he said, "Seeing all this devastation and desperation, confronted with hunger and fear, cripples and black-marketers – and with no Nazi in sight anywhere – I realized how fundamentally the seven years between emigration and occupation had changed Germany's exterior and my own interior."
During his time with the Times, he met and photographed the famous and the infamous, such as artists Pablo Picasso and Pablo Casals, as well as Spanish dictator Generalissimo Francisco Franco."

UFC Abu Dhabi: Nogueira vs. Nelson Recap - Big KO Finish!!
Date: 04/11 11:00 AM
Written by Stevie J
Tonight's top fights are Antonio Minotauro Nogueira vs. Roy 'Big Country' Nelson in a heavyweight ranking tilt, Clay Guida vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri at featherweight and John Howard vs. Ryan LaFlare at welterweight! Join us at 12:15 PM ET, 11:15 AM CT when the prelims begin and check back as often as you like for updates.
12:15 PM ET. We are live!
* Bantamweight: Rani Yahya vs. 'Brutal' Johnny Bedford
Our first prelim! Bedford is a TUF 14 alum and Yahya is a long-time Brazilian veteran who many people got to know during his time in WEC. Bedford is the first to enter and his theme music is Aloe Blacc's "The Man." He's wearing white trunks tonight. He's got on red trunks with some white accents. 29 to 31, 5'6" to 5'9", 68" to 70.5" reach from Yahya to Bedford. Andy Freidlander is the ring announcer todnight. Bedford is 19-11-1, 135 pounds, fighting out of Coleyville, Texas. Yahya is 19-8, 135.5 pounds, fighting out of Brasilia, Brazil. Our referee in charge is Neil Hall. Here we go!
The fight's underway at 12:22 PM. Yahya shoots at 29 seconds and Bedford sprawls quickly, THEN WE HAVE STOPPAGE 10 SECONDS LATER. They butted heads, Bedford got his head split open, but Yahya got knocked dizzy. I'm not sure if this is a no contest or a TKO, but the commentary seems to think Bedford got the W.
FREIDLANDER ANNOUNCES THE FIGHT IS A NO CONTEST AND BEDFORD THROWS HIS HANDS UP LIKE HE EXPECTS THEM TO CHANGE THE DECISION as the crowd boos loudly. Bedford says this is "ridiculous" and he should get the W. "June, Texas, come to my house. Let's fight!" Officials have to get between them as Yahya says he'd like a rematch and Bedford tries to get it started RIGHT NOW.
* Featherweight: Alan Omer vs. Jim Alers
Alers is on an 8 fight win streak. Omer has 7 knockouts and 9 submission wins. Alers is in red trunks for tonight's fight. Omer is in black trunks with yellow logos. Tale of the Tape for these debuting UFC fighters! 25 to 27, 5'10" to 5'9", 71" to 73" reach from Omer to Alers. Freidlander introduces our second bout. Alers is 12-1 and fights out of Orlando, Florida. Omer is 18-3 and fights out of Stuttgart, Germany (hailing originally from Iraq). Marc Goddard is our referee. Here we go!
Fight's underway at 12:37 PM. Omer lands a nice uppercut early before Alers pushes him into the fence. They break at 49 seconds. Alers lands a solid low kick. Now Alers is finding his range but has to back off as Omer lands a nice head shot. By their aggressive standing strikes it seems either man would be happy with a first round finish. Every time they throw hands the crowd erupts - they're very excited about this early bout. BTW our commentary team tonight is John Gooden and Dan Hardy. Omer puts Alers on the fence but is turned out at 4:28 gaining no advantage. Omer has tagged Alers several times before the end of the round and appeared to hurt him. I give Omer a narrow 10-9.
Omer hurts Alers, who goes for a takedown, but Omer winds up on top when they get to the ground and he's trying to pound out a finish. Alers does his best to tie him up on the ground and that slows things down long enough for him to recover. Goddard warns Alers to stay busy and they get back to their feet. I wonder if Omer hurt his right hand - I saw him adjusting his glove. Alers knocks Omer down and now he's on top in guard at 90 seconds! Goddard warns them to stay busy at 2:30 and also gives a warning for a hand on the fence. Alers is chipping away from the top as Omer tries to tie him up. Omer gets a body lock and stands back up at 3:38. Goddard breaks a clinch with 30 seconds. Omer lands a good right hand before the end of the round. Another close round. I have it 19-all.
Dan Hardy says the judges should be praying for a finish in the third round as the fighters come out and touch gloves. 22 seconds in and Alers gets a takedown. Goddard gives a warning to Omer about putting his toes in the fence. Alers is starting to open up with some big shots and may be going for a d'arce choke. Omer gets back up at 1:23. Goddard tells them to get busy at 2:20 after a minute of clinch. Alers doubles Omer to the ground. Another warning to stay busy at 3:22, which causes Alers to stand up and throw some strikes before going back down. Another warning at 3:54. He forces a stand-up at 4:23 which I disagree with because it gives Omer a late single leg he wouldn't have otherwise gotten. Goddard's definition of "busy" is "I want you to knock him out or sub him or I'm standing you up - I don't care if you have a dominant position." It irks me.
JUDGES SCORE IT 29-28 ALERS, 29-28 OMER AND 29-28 FOR THE SPLIT DECISION GOING TO JIM ALERS. Alers says "(Conor) McGregor, I'm coming for you" in the post-fight interview with Dan Hardy!
* Middleweight: Trevor 'Hot Sauce' Smith vs. Thales Leites
Our third fight! Before it begins we get a promo for Travis 'Happa' Browne vs. Fabricio Werdum via a video package narrated by Joe Rogan. "The winner will be considered the top contender in the UFC heavyweight division." Goldberg says the winner will get Cain Velasquez as the package comes to an end. That fight comes up next weekend so stay tuned!
The Vancouver, Washington native Smith comes out first in red trunks for his third UFC fight. Rio De Janeiro's Thales Leites comes out dipped in Venum gear and black trunks. Tale of the Tape: 32 to 33, 6'1" to 6'3" and 78" to 75" reach from Leites to Smith. Smith is 11-4, 186 pounds, and fightihg of Tukwila, Washington. Leites is 22-4, 185 pounds, and fighting out of Rio. Our referee in charge is Neil Hall. Here we go!
AND IT IS ALREADY OVER. Leites drops Smith with a devastating right hand on the chin and some aggressive ground strikes before the referee steps in to make the save. OFFICIAL TIME OF THE STOPPAGE IS 45 SECONDS FOR THE WINNER BY TKO: THALES LEITES. Dan Hardy hits the cage for the interview. He says he was training hard and expected a much longer fight. Hardy asks him what's next. "I want to fight top ten, I want to be on a main card, let's do it, let's see what happens." He also dedicates the win to his grandfather who passed away just three weeks ago. Nog vs. Nelson hype package follows.
* Heavyweight: Daniel Omielanczuk vs. Jared 'Big Show' Rosholt
Our fourth Fight Pass bout with two fighters on win streaks coming to blows! Daniel's win streak runs to 12 and he's a three time Polish muay thai champion. Rosholt comes out to "Lunatic Fringe" and he's in orange trunks. He was 150-5 at Oklahoma State. Tale of the Tape: 27 to 21, 6'2" to 6 foot and 76.5" to 74" from Rosholt to his opponent. Freidlander introduces both men at 1:25 ET. Omielanczuk is in black trunks, 16-3-1, 1 NC and fights out of Warsaw. Rosholt is 9-1 and fights out of Arlington, Texas. Our referee in charge of this final prelim contest is Marc Goddard.
Rosholt turns the corner and gets a takedown at 50 seconds. Omielanczuk has the head trapped but Rosholt doesn't seem to feel threatened by it - in fact he's looking to pass. Hardy calls it a mistake for Omielanczuk to hand onto it so long. He pops out at 2 minutes. With 1:20 left in the round Rosholt starts landing some heavy blows from half guard. Rosholt makes a kimura attempt and lands a hard knee to the ribs as Omielanczuk tries to flip to his back. Rosholt stays with him and flattens him back out, dropping elbows before the horn. 10-9 for Rosholt.
Rosholt shoots 11 seconds into R2 but Omielanczuk is able to avoid the first attempt. The second one at 28 seconds in succeeds. If Rosholt can pop his left knee out he'll be in full mount. Goddard gives the stupid stay busy warning at 1:35. Rosholt lands knees to the body as Omielanczuk tries to tie up the arms. Another warning at 2:48. Omielanczuk uses his feet to flip over but winds up eating a big knee to the body from Rosholt. He stands up and breaks free at 3:34. Rosholt winds up back on top on the ground again at 4:04 and Goddard immediately starts giving warnings. After the horn he also gives a "final warning" for shots to the back of the head. Rosholt is up 20-18 after 2.
Rosholt has a takedown 12 seconds into R3 and Goddard quickly warns them to stay busy. Rosholt has a full mount for a split second, loses it as Omielanczuk goes to his back, nails him with knees and Omielanczuk flips back over again with Rosholt in half guard. Omeianczuk keeps trying to find a better spot to turn to but Rosholt is heavy on him wherever he goes. Rosholt has side contorl as we pass the halfway point and the crowd is booing as he takes the back briefly then goes back to side, then to the back, Roshollt just wearing Omielanczuk out. Side control again with 100 seconds left. Rosholt goes for a North-South head choke with 30 seconds left. Omielanczuk gets warned twice about shots to the back of the head. Easy 30-27 unanimous win for Rosholt when we get the cards.
ROSHOLT GETS THE UNANIMOUS DECISION although Freidlander doesn't bother to announce the score. Rosholt rates his opponent as dangerous on the feet and dangerous with submissions so "I had to be careful" and "stick to the gameplan." That ends our prelims! We get a cageside interview with Alexander Gustafsson to fill time, and Dan Hardy wants to know where he is in training. He says he's working on strength and conditioning and says he's just waiting to see the outcome of Jones vs. Teixeira. "I'll be a better Alex next fight I promise!"
* Lightweight: Ramsey Nijem vs. Beneil Dariush
Our first main card fight! Dariush come sout first to Michael Jackson's "Rock With You." He's wearing red/white Venum trunks for tonight's fight. Some very enthusiastic Nijem fans start jumping around in the crowd as he makes his way to the cage. He's got on black trunks for tonight's bout. 26 to 24, 5'11" to 5'10", 74" to 73" reach from Nijem to Dariush. Dariush is 7-0, 155 pounds, and fighting out of Yorba Linda, California by way of Iran (mentioning Iran got a few scattered boos). Nijem is 9-4, 156 pounds, fighting out of San Francisco, California. Our referee in charge is Neil Hall. Here we go!
This fight is underway at 2:13 PM ET. Both men are scrapping in the early seconds. Dariush is "very relaxed" by Dan Hardy's estimation. Nijem catches a kick and throws Dariush down, executing some kicks to the body until he lets Dariush stand back up. Dariush grabs a body lock and puts Nijem on the fence. 90 seconds. Nijem avoids a high kick to the head. Dariush is keeping his hands quite low - nearly around his navel. 2:30. NIJEM ROCKS HIM AND POURS IT ON ON THE GROUND. Dariush is caught in a guillotine as he tries to stand back up, he goes down to the ground again, he's covering up and trying to survive. Hall is giving him every chance. 3:30. Nijem is pouring it on and HALL FINALLY WAVES IT OFF AT 4:20 TO SAVE DARIUSH.
Nijem has a flag in his hands for the official announcement. YOUR WINNER BY TKO AT 4:20 OF R1 IS RAMSEY NIJEM. Dan Hardy hits the cage for the interview. Nijem: "I came in with this energy, being a Palestinian, it means a lot to me to come out here and fight in front of you guys - and thanks for the support. He took a lot of damage, kept on fighting, went for heel hooks. I had a lot of respect for him yesterday, I got in his face because I'm here to fight. I'm here to bring a title to the Middle East. I understand my role now. I want a main card, bigger names, I believe I'm the best 55er in the world. I want everybody out there to be scared in my weight class."
* Welterweight: Ryan LaFlare vs. John 'Doomsday' Howard
Our second main card bout! Having Fight Pass issues right now though. The feed just froze and dropped right before the Tale of the Tape. I'm trying to get it back. Unfortunately I've missed the first 3:30 minutes of R1. LaFlare just landed a big knee to the head and judging by commentary he's dominated the stand-up in R1. It looks like he's used a lot of kicks, and Howard catches a body kick and goes to the fence but can't turn it to his advantage before the horn.
John Howard lands a big left hook early in R2 and takes LaFlare down at 35 seconds. They're back standing before the two minute mark. John Howard eats a NASTY knee to the groin and the referee calls for time. We pass the three minute mark on the timeout before Howard can even stand back up (you get five minutes to recover on a groin strike). We resume after 4:30 of the timeout and LaFlare gets a leg trip takedown with 2:18 left. Howard gets back up and LaFlare pushes him to the fence. LaFlare is working shots to the belly thinking Howard is hurt. Howard gets a reversal on a takedown and circles LaFlare to the fence with 1:10 remaining. LaFlare turns to put him on the fence and tries to throw knees. Howard turns him, LaFlare turns him back, Howard lands a hard uppercut. Howard clobbers him with a left hook and LaFlare has to back off before the end of the round and the horn sounds. Most of my fellow MMA reports have it 19-all going into R3.
LaFlare briefly goes down to a low kick but then gets a takedown at 21 seconds. Howard gets back up and lands a strong left hook at 1:01. LaFlare has a tough chin but he's got to be feeling those shots. Gooden says he'd like to see them "pitch up again. Takedown reversal and reversal as LaFlare finally winds up on top in guard. LaFlare is trying to guard pass but Howard gets butterfly and nearly kicks LaFlare all the way off. LaFlare passes to side control at 2:46. Howard tries to scramble but LaFlare takes the back and hammers the body with lefts. LaFlare is warned about the back of the head as he takes Howard's back looking for a mount. 90 seconds remain. Howard's corner screams "Now or never Doomsday!" Howard goes for a leg lock and LaFlare pushes him off with sheer strength. Howard dives for it again and his corner screams DOOMS YOU GOTTA MOVE. LaFlare rides it out to the horn.
ALL THREE JUDGES SCORE IT FOR THE WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION RYAN LAFLARE and once again Friedlander doesn't bother to announce the scores.
* Featherweight: Clay 'The Carpenter' Guida (#9) vs. Tatsuya 'Crusher' Kawajiri (#12)
Our co-main event! Kawajiri is out first at 3 ET in black/red trunks, Guida bounces his way to the Octagon a couple of minutes later. Guida has on blue trunks for tonight's fight and has most of his wild hair tied up behind his head. His corner slaps him to get him a little more excited before Stitch applies the finishing touches. Tale of the Tape! 32 to 35, 5'7" each, 72" to 69" reach from Guida to Kawajiri. Kawajiria is 33-7-2 and Guida is 30-11. Our referee in charge is Marc 'Stay Busy' Goddard. Here we go!
The fight's underway at 3:05 ET. GUIDA HURTS KAWAJIRI WITH A RIGHT AND JUMPS ON HIS BACK. Kawajiri stands with him at 40 seconds as the crowd chants GUI-DA. Guida tries to get him to the ground and Kawajiri tries to get a kimura and it turns into a stalemate. Guida rolls going to the ground, Kawajiri goes for the armbar, Guida picks him up and spikes him on his head but he's still in danger. Guida pops out at 2:25 and takes the back. Guida throws him to the ground at 3:13 as Kawajiri is going for another Kimura, then throws knees from behind when he stands back up. Kawajiri gets a takedown of his own at 4:19. Guida starts to get back up right at the horn.
R2 underway at 3:12 ET. I've seen three different scores from three different writers which should tell you how close R1 was. Guida digs hard for a single leg as Kawajiri widens his stands on the fence but Guida finally gets it at 0:46. Kawajiri pops back up but Guida gets a slam takedown at 1:59. Kawajiri pops back up under 10 seconds later. Guida gets a single leg and avoids a sub attempt. Kawajiri is back to his feet at 2:55. A takedown tradeoff emerges with Guida the victor, taking side control and taking the back, before Kawajiri gets back up at 4:18 with Guida throwing knees. Kawajiri keeps going for a kimura but Guida is defending it too well. I give that round a solid 10-9 to Guida as we go to R3.
Kawajiri shoots at 48 seconds but leaves his neck exposed and Guida takes it. They stand up and Kawajiri pushes to the fence and Guida hits him with a ton of left hands and elbows. Gooden tells us that Guida has defended 74% of all takedown attempts. He keeps pushing down on Kawajiri's head and landing strikes. 2:30. Guida finally shakes free at 2:48. Kawajiri tries a spinning backfist and seems to be breathing hard but does throw a nice knee. Guida ducks a strike and takes the back then drops levels. 3:50. Guida slams him to the ground with authority as we pass 4 minutes and pops his head out a few seconds later. He spins for control to keep the back in the final 20 seconds and is on top driving knees at the horn.
ALL THREE JUDGES SCORE IT 30-27 FOR CLAY 'THE CARPENTER' GUIDA. Dan Hardy hits the cage for the interview. "I hope all the Abu Dhabi fans liked that grappling match!" He gets a round of applause. "I don't call anybody out but (Conor) McGregor you want to fight a real man there ain't no gold at the end of this rainbow. I'm a 155er at heart and Josh Thomson we've got some history. Dana White, Joe Silva, put me anywhere."
* Heavyweight (5 Rounds): Roy 'Big Country' Nelson (#9) vs. Antonio Minotauro 'Big Nog' Nogueira (#11)
Time for our main event! Roy Nelson comes out in white trunks with black trim to "We Will Rock You." Big Nog comes out to Diddy's "Come With Me." He's wearing red trunks tonight. Tale of the Tape: 37 each, 6'3" to 6'0", 77" to 72" reach from Nog to Nelson. Friedlander starts introducing the main event at 3:41 PM ET. Leon Roberts will ref our main event. Nelson is 20-9 and fights out of Las Vegas at 255.5 pounds. Nogueira is 34-8-1, 1 NC, fighting out of Rio De Janeiro at 238 pounds as the former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion and former UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion. Here we go!
We're underway at 3:43. Big Nog is trying to wade in and Big Country is content to circle on the outside and counter, stepping in and HURTING Nog with a right, sending him to his back right before the 1 minute mark - he pops back up but Nelson smells blood in the water. Nelson is being patient but he is the one pushing forward now. Gooden and Hardy continue to remark that Nog seems wobbl on his feet. 2:30. Nelson continues to find a home for his right hand. HE CRACKS NOG AT 3:05. Nogueira gets back up but he's a mess. NELSON HITS A WALKAWAY RIGHT HAND TO END THE RIGHT AT 3:37 AND JUMPS TO THE FENCE.
Friedlander makes it official - 3:37 OF R1 FOR YOUR WINNER BY KNOCKOUT - ROY 'BIG COUNTRY' NELSON. Roy thanks him for the honor of the victory and says if there wasn't a Nogueira he wouldn't be here, and says he's still chasing the UFC Heavyweight Title. "He's got a hard head - okay I've got to throw the right hand." Hardy compliments him on backing off and showing discipline. "My goal was to get a takedown per round and go five rounds, push the pace, but it just happened my right hand landed first." Hardy says he's got to come and train with Nelson to learn that timing of the right. That's it for Abu Dhabi!

Biological Evidence for Turing Patterns
Mouse hair development patterns follow Turing's predictions
By Louisa Dalton
In the 1950s, computer science pioneer Alan Turing suggested an elegantly simple mechanism for how biological patterns such as scales, feathers, and hair might form. Now, more than fifty years later, biologists have used a computer model and transgenic mice to confirm mathematical predictions of the Turing model of pattern formation within a specific biological system: mouse hair development.
“It’s the most convincing biological (as contrasted with chemical) experiment to date that claims to support the Turing mechanism,” says Irving Epstein, PhD, a chemistry professor at Brandeis University. The work appeared online in the journal Science in November 2006.
Turing’s 1952 proposition goes like this: Two molecules—an activator that enhances its own production, and an inhibitor that slows the production of the activator—diffuse and react. If the inhibitor diffuses sufficiently faster than the activator, repetitive patterns may spontaneously emerge.
Evenly spaced mouse hair is just the type of pattern that a Turing mechanism might create. That’s one reason biologist Thomas Schlake, PhD, at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology started searching for key molecules involved in mouse hair follicle formation that might fit Turing’s predicted pair. He found them in the signaling molecule WNT and its inhibitor DKK.
Schlake and his colleagues created a computer model describing the pair’s Turing behavior and then asked the model to predict what would happen if something went wrong—if WNT or DKK appeared in too great or too small a burst. Experiments with transgenic mice verified their computational predictions. Mice that strongly overexpress DKK, suppressing WNT signaling, look like they are balding. And mice that moderately over-express DKK form clumps of hair instead of regularly spaced follicles.
Schlake thinks it’s likely that other inhibitor/activator pairs (Turing called them morphogens) form the base of other natural patterns.
Of course, stripping complex developmental pathways down to the actions of one Turing pair is a strong simplification of the real world, he adds. Mouse hair follicle placement doesn’t solely depend on the behavior of two interacting molecules. Leagues of other signaling molecules stabilize and refine the process.
Yet it is that very power to simplify and predict outcomes from a small number of key variables that is the hallmark of a good model, Epstein says. He is not surprised that 50 years after Turing proposed his model, biologists are just now providing detailed molecular evidence for it. “Turing,” he says, “was a very smart man.”

Break the cocoon
On the surface, Yorico’s music doesn’t seem all that remarkable. It’s the kind of piano balladry endlessly compared to Carole King.
But there’s a quality beneath the surface, something seemingly intangible but attributable only to Yorico — much like how Utada Hikaru’s R&B had a maturity beyond her years, or how Onitsuka Chihiro’s unchallenging pop had a rough edge.
A previous review on this site name-dropped these same pop figures, and the comparrisons are still worth exploring.
Yorico was 16 years old when she released her first independent album in 2002. She managed to sell 80,000 copies and even scored a minor hit with “Honto wa ne”. After taking a break in 2003, she re-emerged in 2004, still sounding freshly-scrubbed but more seasoned.
And so she released Cocoon in January 2005, her first album for a major label.
Signed to an imprint of Toshiba-EMI that includes both Yaida Hitomi and Interpol on its roster, Yorico displays sensibilities that gives her slight appeal to the audiences of both labelmates — the literate pop of Yaida vs. the underground cred of Interpol.
But she manages to sound very much her own person.
Cocoon starts off with a pair of numbers that, to blind ears, could be described as inspirational. “I share all with you” could find an easy audience with the Michelle Branch-types, while “Sore de Ii no Desu ka?” is the kind of wordy, bouncy tune that’s catchy but not quite dumb enough for karaoke.
When Yorico gets introspective, she also tends to get incredibly spartan. Unlike Onitsuka or Utada, Yorico’s ballads seethe with intensity and seldom build to a dramatic peak.
“Wasurarerta Sakura no Ki” doesn’t venture much further than a piano, violin and Yorico’s emotive delivery, and Hayashi Asuca probably wouldn’t have maintained the kind of even temperament of “Shinai Naru Ekaki-san e”.
Half way through the album, Yorico throws a curve. She performs a traditional folk song, “Asatoya Yunta”, complete with shamisen and background responding vocal. And toward the end, she throws another with the hard rocking epic, “Break the Cocoon”, where she ably demonstrates her ability to get intense.
At times, it seems Yorico’s breathy vocals may not seem up-to-task to the demands of her music, but it’s her willingness to try that makes her performances riveting.
On “Sore de Ii no Desu Ka?”, she sounds like she misses a high note, but after a few more listens, that missed note reveals itself to be an intrinsic part of the song’s structure.
She could have chosen the sweeter note, but she stuck with the “wrong” one. And that subtlety adds depth to a style of music rehashed many times over.
Cocoon is an appropriate image for Yorico’s major label debut. She’s emerged from her indie work and her year-long break with a mature sound and a lot of potential.
She hasn’t conquered the finicky tastes of Japan’s pop world, but she may yet contribute something worth watching.

Gustafsson Collects Second BCC Open Title
April 30, 2019 July 3, 2019 BCC
Republished courtesy of the Australian Chess Federation
The 19th edition of the Bangkok Chess Club Open was held at the Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao Hotel in Bangkok from 6-14 April. Two hundred and one players contested the nine-round “Open” tournament (including 13 Australians) whilst a further 103 players participated in the seven-round “Challenger” event (including another three Australians).
Thirty-nine nations were represented, their flags creating a colourful spectacle on each table throughout the well-appointed hotel ballroom.
GM Jan Gustafsson BCC Open Champion 2019
The feature event was once again headlined by elite Grandmasters Nigel Short and Jan Gustafsson, who require no introduction to chess enthusiasts. A total of seventeen grandmasters were present, including six from India. Australia’s challenge was spearheaded by former winner GM Zong-Yuan Zhao and GM Moulthun Ly, with FM Tim Reilly and Colin Savige in support.
GM Deep Sengupta & GM Nigel Short
Short began the tournament with a spectacular Rook and Queen sacrifice against Indian junior Ramesh Avinash.
In this position, Short shocked his opponent with 29 Rxe6!! intending to answer …Kxe6 with 30 Qxd5+ with mate to follow.
Gustafsson Wins 19th Bangkok Chess Club Open
Germany’s Jan Gustafsson has won his second Bangkok Chess Club Open title, on a tiebreaker over Deep Sengupta of India.
Both Gustafsson and Sengupta were undefeated in the nine round event, winning six games and conceding three draws each against fellow Grandmasters. However Gustafsson’s opponents scored slightly better than those of Sengupta, giving him the coveted BCC Open title, though the two shared 170,000 Baht in prizemoney.
Gustafsson, well known as a tournament commentator and a ‘second’ for World Champion Magnus Carlsen, is a popular winner in Thailand, having competed in almost every BCC Open for a decade. His previous title win came eight years ago in Pattaya. At the end of his winner’s speech at the spectacular closing ceremony, Gustafsson said that the Bangkok CC Open was: “In my opinion by far the best tournament in the world – venue, playing conditions, everything.”
The final round started at the Centara Grand ballroom with Jan Gustafsson taking an early draw against Indian Grandmaster Dhopade Swapnil, waiting to see if either Filipino International Master Haridas Pascua or Sengupta could catch him. Sengupta soon took control of their game, though only after four hours was Pascua forced to concede defeat.
It soon became clear that, although Sengupta had defeated the top seed Nigel Short, Gustafsson was just ahead on tiebreak and he took home the BCC Open trophy.
Thailand enjoyed a deserved success in the Challengers division when Theemathas Chirananthavat, considered one of our best minds and playing his first tournament for four years, finished tied for first place. However, the Challengers title went on tiebreak to Ric Portugalera of the Philippines, who he had beaten in the previous round.

Gustafsson Moves Into Clear Lead
With only one round to play, Jan Gustafsson is just one good game away from winning his second Bangkok Chess Club Open title.
The German Grandmaster and commentator for chess web site chess24.com, who has competed in the BCC Open for a decade and took the title in 2011, won a spectacular eighth round game against Vietnam’s The Anh Duong. Gustafsson, 39, now takes a half point lead into the final round, ahead of 200 other competitors at the 19th edition of Thailand’s best tournament being held at the Centara Grand Hotel in Central Plaza.
Gustafsson’s co-leader going in to the penultimate round, Nigel Short, saw his chances of a fourth BCC Open title disappear when he was outplayed by India’s Deep Sengupta. The top seed, who caused a worldwide sensation at the 2015 BCC Open when he gave a series of interviews claiming that men were hardwired to play better chess than women, sacrificed a piece, as he has done in almost every game in this tournament. However his opponent’s extra knight proved decisive after 58 moves and more than four hours play. The Indian Grandmaster, 30, has never finished in the top 3 of a BCC Open but now sits just behind Gustafsson.
Gustafsson is also being chased by Filipino International Master Haridas Pascua (who scored an upset win against Indian Grandmaster Babu Lalith), and Indian Dhopade Swapnil (who beat fellow Grandmaster Bong Villamayor of the Philippines).
Thai hopes for a grand victory in the Challengers division came to an end today when our great mind Theemathas Chirananthavat, who had won every game until today, was bested by Ric Portugalera of the Philippines.
The final round of the Bangkok Chess Club Open begins on Sunday at the Centara Grand Hotel in Ladprao at the special early time of 9.00am and will be broadcast live on chess24.com.

Songkran Celebrations at BCC Open
Nigel Short and Jan Gustafsson discovered the joys of Thailand’s famous Songkran Festival on Thursday at the Bangkok Chess Club Open.
On the first day of Songkran in Bangkok, Short and Gustafsson were asked by organisers to preview their game by sitting for a photo shoot in local costume in the gardens of the Centara Grand Hotel in Ladprao. However following Songkran tradition, the players were sprinkled with water and then covered in water by the spectators, which appeared to surprise both players and upset Short.
The Englishman then had revenge on his tormentors by pouring water on as many as possible – a perfectly acceptable reaction during Songkran.
Short, who as a young man played guitar in a band he described as “very, very bad”, then faced the music against Gustafsson in their real seventh round encounter on first board in the Centara Grand ballroom, and was allowed to sacrifice a knight and a rook before the players agreed to a draw by perpetual check.
The draw between the two leaders allowed Vietnamese International Master The Anh Duong to join them on six points from seven games by defeating Australian Grandmaster Zhao Zong Yuan. Duong, 32, defeated his second Grandmaster in a row and has now won more games than any other player in the tournament.
A new Thai chess talent became visible today when our own Prin Laohawirapap defeated Australian FIDE Master Tim Reilly. Laohawirapap, 12, who was one of the youngest members of Bangkok Chess Club when he first appeared, has reached four points from seven games, just two points behind Short.
Round 8 of the Bangkok Chess Club Open begins on Friday at 2.00pm and will be broadcast live on Chess24.com.
Favourites take the lead
Nigel Short and Jan Gustafsson, the top two seeds at the 2019 Bangkok Chess Club Open, are tied for the lead with just three rounds to play.
The two top seeds, who have won four BCC Open titles between them, survived a crucial day which saw two Grandmasters lose their games to non-Grandmaster opponents.
Short once again thrilled the crowd at the Centara Grand Hotel with a slashing attack against the king of his Indonesian opponent Andrean Susilodinata. The 53-year-old, who was awarded the title of Member of the British Empire six years after finishing second in a World Championship match, has been the tournament’s greatest showman.
Short will have a chance to again demonstrate his attacking magic in the next round against Gustafsson, who kept a share of the lead after drawing a solid game against Indian Grandmaster Babu Lalith.
The sixth round saw two big upsets, with Italian Grandmaster losing to Vietnamese rising star The Anh Duong, while Indian Grandmaster Dibyendu Barua lost to his much younger compatriot Khherdekar Sauravh..
Two local players moved to within just a point and a half of the lead. Our hero of the tournament, Poompong Wiwatanadate, as well as Saphong Hansing, both won to reach four points.
Round 7 of the Bangkok Chess Club Open, featuring a game between the two top seeds, will begin on Thursday at 2.00pm and will be broadcast live on Chess24.com.
Brilliant Gustafsson Alone at the Top of Bangkok Open
German Grandmaster Jan Gustafsson found a brilliant queen sacrifice to beat India’s Karthik Venkataraman and take the outright lead at the 19th Bangkok Chess Club Open.
Gustafsson, 39, broke away from his 200 rivals with a game against a fellow Grandmaster that will strike fear into the heart of his coming opponents. He has now scored a perfect 5/5 and is on track to repeat his BCC Open success from 2011.
Round 5 also saw only the second defeat of a Grandmaster by a non-Grandmaster in the 2019 BCC Open when Indonesian FIDE Master Andrean Susilodinata outwitted Moulthun Ly of Australia. Susilodinata is now just half a point behind Mr Gustafsson, a position shared with two Grandmasters: India’s Babu Lalith and legendary veteran Nigel Short, who was a very strong player in the 1990s.
In the Challengers division, one of our greatest brains is leading the tournament. Theemathas Chirananthavat, 20, played for the Thai Olympic team in 2012 at age 14, but soon after retired from chess and went on to win gold medals for Thailand at mathematics and informatics competitions.
Playing seriously for the first time since 2015, Chirananthavat has won every game so far this year at the Centara Grand and is making Thailand proud.
Round 6 of the Bangkok Chess Club Open will begin on Wednesday at 2.00pm and will be broadcast live on Chess24.com.

A Gifted Wildlife Guide
Gary Muir is a gifted wildlife guide.
He lives, guides and helps manage the lands and waterways of the Walpole Wilderness, the heart of Western Australia's Great South West Edge and home to of one of most biodiverse places on earth.
This week he received a silver medal of excellence for his major contribution to managing our natural resources.
On awarding this well-deserved gong, Gary was deemed to be "arguably the most inspired and innovative defender, advocate, researcher, historian and educator in natural resource management in the Great Southern Region, if not the State of Western Australia.
With a unique brand of humour, science and history, he has been raising awareness, inspiring the community and developing innovative solutions to common environmental threats for over thirty years."
Gary, who guides Wildiaries' 'Chocka Bloka Fulla of Quokka Tour', describes here some of his favourite moments in his favourite place on earth.
WD: Could you describe spring 'sprung' in the Great South West Edge?
GM: There is so much to experience and enjoy in this splendid protected province. There is such a variety of spring landscapes, many breathtaking, which always instils awe among visitors - especially the secluded white beaches looking south over remote islands incessantly pummelled by magnificent Southern Ocean waves. These waves are known lovingly to surfers as the “Thunder From Down Under”.
The sandy paradises are guarded by rugged limestone cliffs, smooth ancient granite rocks and patrolled by occasional Humpback or Southern Right Whales. There are picturesque inlets fed by misty rivers meandering past primeval igneous mounts, through magnificent Tingle and Karri forest interspersed with extensive heathlands abounding with colour.
Following the winter rains, these rivers run red with tannins contrasted with flowing white foam floating freely like icebergs formed from myrtal saponins exuded from tea-trees, eucalypts and paperbarks during heavy winter rains and then journeying into the rivers from many creeks and tributaries.
Somewhere, you will find plants flowering throughout the year, however, the main event peaks on the South West Edge in mid to late spring. Areas with a recent fire history put on an extra special show - White Clematis, climbing the bases of magnificent 80 metre high Karri trees, purple peas flowers on Hovea shrubs and Hardenbergia creeper, iconic gold and green acacias mixed with a splattering of red Coccinea...it is a photographers dream!
More magic can be discovered if you really get into the bush, woodlands and heathlands where those who get their eye in can find the iconic, yet cryptic, spring orchids. Many are hidden away, only to be stumbled upon; they are small, endemic and bizarrely shaped.These plants have built the most peculiar symbiotic relationships with insects and fungi.
Many of the mammals are nocturnal though their tracks and scats are evidence of an active world at night.You may witness the first of the migratory birds venturing to their limits on our southern coastline joining the local pelicans, oystercatchers and Crested Terns though wary of the raptors – Ospreys, sea eagles and Swamp Harriers.
The richly coloured Ring-necked and Western Rosella parrots and the flocks of black cockatoos add to the southern avian skies.
Visitors, if they are prepared to discover this part of the world, will meet with a few local characters who can help their appreciation, especially by revealing some local secrets. Most will remember and enjoy their Aussie experience of finding and understanding the spring secrets of the South West Edge.
WD: What are some of your best moments in your career and your earlier life in Walpole?
Our family, the Muirs, are pioneers for over eight generations throughout the South West Edge and their diaries always enthusiastically express their affection for the area, especially the values of the Walpole Wilderness.
These generational values were passed on from their special relationship with the traditional Nuyngar people of the south west - the Murrum, Bibbulmun, Mingang, Wills and White Cockatoo. My best moments are still meeting and sharing stories with these people, especially the opportunity to meet the elders who represent a people who have belonged to this area for over 2500 generations.
I also had the opportunity to study, research and manage this natural environment and my best moments are when I explore the wilderness blending a cultural and scientific background to keep discovering a whole new way to understand and appreciate this part of the world.
WD: What are your biggest challenges, what challenges does your region face?
GM: The biggest challenges in this area are to ensure the long term future protection and conservation of the South West Edge’s natural and cultural values. Indeed, it is through the vision of people in the past that we have the South West Edge protected today.
Look at a satellite image, say in Google Earth, to really grasp this: The protected edge made up of many national parks and reserves from Margaret River in the west through to Esperance in the east with the Walpole Wilderness in its heart, is obvious. Every where else to the north has had much of its lands cleared for agriculture and natural resources exploited.
Competing management practices (agriculture, clearing, tourism, fishing, fire management, coastal development) will continue to challenge the boundaries of the South West Edge. Within the protected areas though there are two major challenges the natural resources will face – climate change, impacting on biodiversity and natural cycles and invasive species especially the botanical Grim Reaper – the introduced water mould Phytophthora dieback that threatens nearly half of our plant species.
WD: What is your vision for your area and its people?
GM:The South West Edge is treasured by all who have gone before and will continue to be protected for those who visit in the future. It is important for people in their own lifetime to experience this place for themselves, to understand why it is so protected and to recognise back home what is special to protect there so they can to appreciate what has been lost, changed or at risk.
For the South West Edge is not just protected for future generations but for its own intrinsic values which have worked their spell inspiring visitors, managers, governments, community and academia to have a continuing stewardship for this area's nature, culture and future.
WD: What gives you hope for that vision?
GM:Change and challenges are inevitable in all areas yet solvable by allowing innovative, creative ideas and investment to build capacity to solve the problems of the future - many we don’t even know yet. Only we, an amazing species, has that ability to change and shape this area’s future destiny and the adjoining world around it.
My life was destined as an eco-guide to interpret our natural and cultural landscape to my community and visitors to help raise their consciousness and stewardship of our home. It is this, really as a storyteller, just like the original indigenous Nuyngar people did, like my pioneer ancestors around the camp fire , like my science teachers in the classroom, my favorite reference books and especially the internet – communication is our greatest tool, that allow our stories to pass on.
This sustains my hope: For people to enjoy places like the awe inspiring Great South West Edge, enthusiastically enhanced with passionate, knowledgeable communication, that builds a genuine understanding and sincere appreciation of our world and helps recognise everyone’s role with in it.

Commentator/Courier
Twenty graduating Senator Gershaw School graduation students crossed the stage to receive their diplomas on May 16 to cap off what was another successful year for Grade 12s as far as accumulative credits are concerned.
Principal Scott Angle spoke in front of a packed theatre area to the those credits as the total accumulated credits for Grades 10 through 12 were 2,694, which translated to 134 credits per student over the three years of high school.
“As a reminder, students are only required 100 credits to graduate,” said Angle.
“It takes a decision and a commitment, plus some parents not wanting them to be at home, to get this average number. It also is a testament to the community partnerships of work experience, green certificates, registered apprenticeship programs and dual credit to provide opportunities for students. There are six students in this class with over 150 credits, highest of which is one student when all classes are completed this semester will be a new record breaking 213 credits (and) over double the requirement for a high school education.”
The graduation ceremony’s theme was “Remember Your Roots and Trust Your Wings,” and Prairie Rose School Division superintendent Roger Clarke explained his meaning of the quote to all in attendance.
“What are your roots? I want you to take a look around this room, take a look around with me and you can see your roots are right here,” said Clarke.
“These are the people that helped you, supported you, guided you and loved you your whole lives. Like the tree roots, (they) will constantly seek our nourishment and there will be times when you need nourishment. These people will be here to support you and help you focus on what’s really important.
“Trust your wings, I was thinking of what that means actually. Here’s what I think, many of you are overjoyed right now with uncertainty, that is healthy to be honest. But please believe in yourselves. You have tools, you have strengths, you have talents and as a result you’ll fly.”
Valedictorian Karli Haugan addressed her fellow classmates and had the opportunity to do the journey with her sisters Nickola and Erika.
“I’m delighted to be chosen as Valedictorian for the Senator Gershaw Class of 2019,” said Haugan.
“I can relay two main thoughts about school. One, that I love learning the subject material, especially math and science and two I learned a few valuable lessons along the way such as resilience and savouring special moments. My particular school career was unique. Since as long as I can remember, I’ve been one part of three or one-third of a whole, that’s for you Mr. Phillips.
“I’ve had to share almost everything with my two sisters, which wasn’t all bad. The advantages included studying together, played sports where we made up half the volleyball team, sharing chores and having at least one best friend. Sometimes it was challenging to like or love everything about my sisters.”
She ended her speech by saying “To my fellow graduates, the Class of 2019, congratulations of getting through the easiest part of life.”

Why get vaccinated?
Tdap vaccine
Some people should not get this vaccine
What if there is a serious problem?
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
How can I learn more?
Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) Vaccine: What You Need to Know
Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis are very serious diseases. Tdap vaccine can protect us from these diseases. And Tdap vaccine given to pregnant women can protect newborn babies against pertussis.
Tetanus (lockjaw) is rare in the United States today. It causes painful muscle tightening and stiffness, usually all over the body.
It can lead to tightening of muscles in the head and neck so you can't open your mouth, swallow, or sometimes even breathe. Tetanus kills about 1 out of 10 people who are infected even after receiving the best medical care.
Diphtheria is also rare in the United States today. It can cause a thick coating to form in the back of the throat.
It can lead to breathing problems, heart failure, paralysis, and death.
Pertussis (whooping cough) causes severe coughing spells, which can cause difficulty breathing, vomiting, and disturbed sleep.
It can also lead to weight loss, incontinence, and rib fractures. Up to 2 in 100 adolescents and 5 in 100 adults with pertussis are hospitalized or have complications, which could include pneumonia or death.
These diseases are caused by bacteria. Diphtheria and pertussis are spread from person to person through secretions from coughing or sneezing. Tetanus enters the body through cuts, scratches, or wounds.
Before vaccines, as many as 200,000 cases of diphtheria, 200,000 cases of pertussis, and hundreds of cases of tetanus were reported in the United States each year. Since vaccination began, reports of cases for tetanus and diphtheria have dropped by about 99% and for pertussis by about 80%.
The Tdap vaccine can protect adolescents and adults from tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. One dose of Tdap is routinely given at age 11 or 12. People who did not get Tdap at that age should get it as soon as possible.
Tdap is especially important for health care professionals and anyone having close contact with a baby younger than 12 months.
Pregnant women should get a dose of Tdap during every pregnancy, to protect the newborn from pertussis. Infants are most at risk for severe, life-threatening complications from pertussis.
Another vaccine, called Td, protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis. A Td booster should be given every 10 years. Tdap may be given as one of these boosters if you have never gotten Tdap before. Tdap may also be given after a severe cut or burn to prevent tetanus infection.
Your doctor or the person giving you the vaccine can give you more information.
Tdap may safely be given at the same time as other vaccines.
A person who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction after a previous dose of any diphtheria-, tetanus-, or pertussis-containing vaccine, OR has a severe allergy to any part of this vaccine, should not get Tdap vaccine. Tell the person giving the vaccine about any severe allergies.
Anyone who had coma or long repeated seizures within 7 days after a childhood dose of DTP or DTaP, or a previous dose of Tdap, should not get Tdap, unless a cause other than the vaccine was found. They can still get Td.
Talk to your doctor if you:
Have seizures or another nervous system problem.
Had severe pain or swelling after any vaccine containing diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis.
Ever had a condition called Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
Aren't feeling well on the day the shot is scheduled.
With any medicine, including vaccines, there is a chance of side effects. These are usually mild and go away on their own. Serious reactions are also possible but are rare.
Most people who get Tdap vaccine do not have any problems with it.
Mild problems following Tdap
(Did not interfere with activities)
Pain where the shot was given (about 3 in 4 adolescents or 2 in 3 adults)
Redness or swelling where the shot was given (about 1 person in 5)
Mild fever of at least 100.4°F (up to about 1 in 25 adolescents or 1 in 100 adults)
Headache (about 3 or 4 people in 10)
Tiredness (about 1 person in 3 or 4)
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomachache (up to 1 in 4 adolescents or 1 in 10 adults)
Chills, sore joints (about 1 person in 10)
Body aches (about 1 person in 3 or 4)
Rash, swollen glands (uncommon)
Moderate problems following Tdap
(Interfered with activities, but did not require medical attention)
Pain where the shot was given (up to 1 in 5 or 6)
Redness or swelling where the shot was given (up to about 1 in 16 adolescents or 1 in 12 adults)
Fever over 102°F (about 1 in 100 adolescents or 1 in 250 adults)
Headache (about 1 in 7 adolescents or 1 in 10 adults)
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomachache (up to 1 to 3 people in 100)
Swelling of the entire arm where the shot was given (up to about 1 in 500)
Severe problems following Tdap
(Unable to perform usual activities; required medical attention)
Swelling, severe pain, bleeding and redness in the arm where the shot was given (rare)
Problems that could happen after any vaccine:
People sometimes faint after a medical procedure, including vaccination. Sitting or lying down for about 15 minutes can help prevent fainting, and injuries caused by a fall. Tell your doctor if you feel dizzy or have vision changes or ringing in the ears.
Some people get severe pain in the shoulder and have difficulty moving the arm where a shot was given. This happens very rarely.
Any medication can cause a severe allergic reaction. Such reactions from a vaccine are very rare, estimated at fewer than 1 in a million doses, and would happen within a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a serious injury or death.
The safety of vaccines is always being monitored. For more information, visit: www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety.
Look for anything that concerns you, such as signs of a severe allergic reaction, very high fever, or unusual behavior.
Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These would usually start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
If you think it is a severe allergic reaction or other emergency that can't wait, call 9-1-1 or get the person to the nearest hospital. Otherwise, call your doctor.
Afterward, the reaction should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your doctor might file this report, or you can do it yourself through the VAERS web site at www.vaers.hhs.gov, or by calling 1-800-822-7967.
VAERS does not give medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines.
Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP website at www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation. There is a time limit to file a claim for compensation.
Ask your doctor. He or she can give you the vaccine package insert or suggest other sources of information.
Call your local or state health department.
Contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
Call 1-800-232-4636 (1-800-CDC-INFO) or

Christopher P. Heuer Into the White: The Renaissance Arctic and the End of the Image Brooklyn: Zone Books, 2019. 256 pp.; 69 b/w ills. Cloth $32.95 (9781942130147)
Amy Knight Powell
When the artist Olafur Eliasson, with the help of geologist Minik Rosing, hauled eighty tons of Greenland ice to Place du Panthéon for Ice Watch Paris (2015), releasing thirty tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, so that Parisians and anyone who had traveled to the city (some for the United Nations Climate Change Conference), burning their own quantum of fossil fuel along the way, could feel they were watching the melting of our polar ice caps, he channeled the Arctic’s cold waters into a river of his spectators’ warm tears. One thing Christopher Heuer does in his timely Into the White: The Renaissance Arctic and the End of the Image is mop up that mess with a rag called history. Icebergs were not always so endearing. When European explorers encountered them in the sixteenth century, they found them for the most part moronic—either mute or senselessly roaring. This was a time of hopelessly doomed voyages, undertaken by men who were never in danger of becoming heroes but who nonetheless wrote, filing “true reports” as the blood slowly froze in their veins; and the words they wrote were promptly translated into images back home, where wars of religion were being fought, in part, over the question of images.
Like a giant sheet of paper, the Arctic landscape had been a site of inscription long before these men arrived, though this was difficult for them to see. The people living there were also the bearers of messages that went unread by these visitors; the apotropaic facial tattoos of Eastern Inuit mothers were among the types of markings the explorers failed to even try to decipher. While the Far North may have been relatively “icy, unpopulated, commodity poor, and visually and temporally ‘abstract’” (10), the nothingness these men encountered there was largely the spectacle of their own deafness and blindness.
The Swedish bishop Olaus Magnus was something of an exception to this general rule of incomprehension; not that he got everything right about the Arctic, but at least he understood how much was there to be read. In 1555, Olaus published an enormous, encyclopedic account of the Far North, which he characterized as “a vast archive, an active sender of messages” (133)—runic inscriptions, snowflakes embroidered by Nature, the languages of bees and mice, the satanic verses of Lapland magicians. Even the North’s numbing cold was for Olaus less a climatological condition than a form of meaning.
Heuer modestly presents his chapter on the bishop as something of an aside, but it is of a piece with his mesmerizing, central chapter, “Arctic Ink,” where icy, largely unheard messages continue to emerge, now in the form of congealed words, frozen dictionaries, and ice that “makes a sound like a human voice” (168). Here Heuer’s attention moves from the Arctic’s brittle messages to the supports onto which its explorers scratched their own words and images; Into the White is, among other things, a story of paper, its “capacity for endurance, to ‘carry’ specific kinds of traces over time as well as space” (154). “In June of 1871,” the chapter begins, “Norwegian hunters unearthed a mysterious chunk of pulp in the Russian Far North. . . . The mass, caked with gravel, ice, and moss, turned out to be part of something astonishing: a cache of Netherlandish engravings—more than four hundred of them—works after Hendrick Goltzius, Karel van Mander, Bartholomeus Spranger, and others” (135). These engravings were left behind by Wilhelm Barents’s disastrous expedition in search of a northeast passage to Asia in 1596–97, which marooned his crew in the northern Siberian archipelago of Nova Zembla for almost a year. The chunk of pulp was a conservator’s nightmare: hundreds of second-rate Netherlandish engravings, which “had become wet, then dried, then frozen, over and over again. . . . The prints had become glued to one another, the paper fibers intermeshed” (151).
In 1977, a team of conservators at the Rijksprentenkabinet began painstakingly separating, washing, and mounting these severely damaged sheets onto Japanese paper, winning a Pyrrhic victory for science, history, and the vast taxonomic project that undergirds the discipline of art history. “The conservators’ job,” Heuer writes, evocatively, “was to bring [the engravings] back, warding off their history of slow fusion with the ground, their settling into the time of the earth, durational time, their absorption into a geological cycle of seasons” (152). Once separated, the prints were cataloged like any others, with Hollstein numbers and states, as if they had never been swallowed alive. Despite this stunning feat of conservation, Heuer rightfully insists, the engravings remain intermixed at the level of their fibers with the land into which they settled.
So too are the bodies of many men: “To perish in such terrain was not always to vanish, but to accrete, to become one with” the ground (164). Into the White returns to a less endearing moment in the history of not only the iceberg but also the concept of the environment, one less confident in the distinction between matter and men. Returning to this moment might help us see—this is the wager of Heuer’s important project—that a humanist view of the current climate crisis will remain blind to how vertiginous “our” position in it really is. To make this point Heuer turns in his final chapter to the USSR, which, he says, “monumentalized the Far North as a kind of technologized grayness, a colossal architecture of science, energy, and terror” that, unexpectedly, “looks back to the earliest Northern voyages” (180). In this same chapter, the not-art of the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI)—a collective founded in Los Angeles in 1994 and devoted to documenting, archiving, and databasing the indeterminate relation between land and its uses—emerges as an antidote to Eliasson’s brand of artistic activism, which is invested more in staging spectacles than in seeing what is already there. The CLUI shows us how information technology might facilitate less anthropocentric transcriptions of an environment that we only make warmer, Heuer suggests, with our tears.
This book brings to light—and brings to bear on contemporary environmental art—an early modern archive that has never before been studied as a meaningful whole. That is already a major contribution. It also reflects bracingly on the discipline of art history and humanist scholarship in general, which, Heuer asks us not to forget, is “as complicit in polar melting as any other capital-based forces today” (190). It is not just Eliasson; everything we do leaves a carbon footprint. To understand early modern Arctic exploration, we need to revise familiar ways of thinking: “early modern aesthetic responses to, and constructions of, the Arctic upend and complicate some categories that are blithely applied to histories of Renaissance exoticism in art and science: categories such as wonder, identity, and curiosity” (19). The Arctic did not yield enough collectibles to satisfy anyone’s desire for the exotic, wonderful, or strange. It did not even yield those stable points of comparison and contrast that early modern Europeans used to shore up their sense of themselves: “Being like nothing else, the Arctic was particularly vexing” (56); “on certain Arctic voyages . . . the very idea of analogy collapsed” (50). This may seem like a relatively minor loss: who needed analogy, when what they were looking for was gold? But this loss, Heuer shows, cut right to the heart of European identity, representation, and the image debate unleashed by the Protestant Reformation, unmasking Reformers, among others, as “entranced by [unreliable] rhetorics of comparison” (49). The incomparable Arctic stripped early moderns of falsely comforting habits of organizing the world according to likeness and difference; this, Heuer argues, was what was so unsettling to them about the planet’s largest icescape.
Exposing the false familiarity that analogy can tender, Heuer scrupulously avoids putting his own project under its sign. He grants that likeness can provide flashes of illumination but not more: “That descriptions of this Arctic (‘I find in all the countrie nothing’) recall those of whitewashed churches (‘there is nothing to consider’) is coincidental, but illuminative in its language of dearth” (77). And yet, a prodigious series of analogies drives Heuer’s own writing, beginning with a comparison between the purportedly featureless Arctic and the iconoclastically whitewashed walls of Protestant churches and branching out into analogies between skulls and globes, icebergs and idols. And still further analogical divagations will suggest themselves to the reader, above all around the massive, blinding figure of what turns out to be a deliriously gray “white”—a shibboleth of race theories that were beginning to take shape in exactly this period, figure of beauty, purity, truth, the imageless God, and so on into the echo chamber of languages that are always generating more gray noise than meaning, and raising questions like these: What happens when a mythically “white” race of explorers advances headlong into a mythically “white” landscape? What happens to the glacial sheet of white powder on Queen Elizabeth’s face?
By establishing the terms for such questions, Heuer invites us to imagine the more mechanical art history that might answer them, a discipline that dispatches “true reports” on the comparable and coincident things that cross our radar, without driving humanist concepts in between. This would be a “cold” art history, mounted against the “hot” advance of capital—against its incessant accumulation of sentiment, among other things—since we may, in fact, need fewer icebergs sweating it out for our benefit in the public square.

Celtics' Gordon Hayward 'feels good,' scores 14 in return
Tim BontempsESPN
BOSTON -- One month after breaking a bone in his left hand and four weeks after having surgery to repair it, Gordon Hayward returned to the lineup for the Boston Celtics and finished with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 26 minutes in a 110-88 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden.
"The hand feels good," Hayward said afterward. "Get some more treatment on it tomorrow and get ready for the next game."
Although the hapless Cavaliers, losers of 13 of their past 14 games, didn't offer much resistance, Hayward's presence was immediately felt. The Celtics managed to survive without him the past few weeks, going 9-4 with him sidelined following a 7-1 start with him, but the team's offense began to sag under the weight of making up for his absence.
Hayward immediately gave the team a boost Monday, going 7-for-10 from the field, as he was able to get several baskets inside on cuts and in fast-break settings.
"I got some easy looks," Hayward said. "Getting one in transition felt good. Anytime you get a layup, it definitely makes the rim get a little bit bigger for you. I think it's a lot easier this time to come back from something when you can run around and you don't have to rest your legs, so it's just my left hand. That made it a lot easier."
What also was made easier was Boston's overall offensive execution with Hayward's return. The presence of another high-level shot-creator alongside Kemba Walker -- who had game highs of 22 points and seven assists -- gives Boston more ways to attack when both of them are on the court as well as someone for the team to run the offense through when Walker is on the bench.
"Yeah, I thought he was pretty good," Stevens said. "I didn't anticipate much [rust]. It hasn't been very long in the big scheme of things, especially with what he went through last time.
"He got baskets off cuts and those typical kind of energy plays, and with the score being what it was, I didn't want to take him out. I wanted to get kind of to where I wanted him to play, minutes-wise, in that third quarter and stretch himself with 12 straight minutes, but I thought he was good."
Rust might not be an issue, but conditioning is. Given that it was a broken bone in his hand, Hayward was able to keep up his cardio work while waiting to come back to the court.
To try to move things along -- especially with the game, despite a couple second-half surges by the Cavaliers, never being in doubt -- Stevens kept Hayward on the court for the full 12 minutes in the third quarter. Afterward, Hayward, who went 5-for-7 from the floor and scored 10 of his 14 points in the quarter, admitted he was feeling it.
"Yeah, for sure," he said. "Toward the end, especially at the end of the third quarter, I was, for sure, gassed. That's something that no matter how much cardio you do, you've got to just play through the game sometimes and get that game conditioning back, so I'm working on that."
Still, the night was a success for him. Not only did he play well and make it through the game unscathed, but he also said he was happy that the Cavaliers -- and their imposing front line of Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson -- were his first opponents back, so he could give his hand a proper test while fighting for position inside.
After the game, he said he didn't notice it.
"Not when I was out there playing," Hayward said. "Tonight was a good test, too, dealing with their bigs and trying to block them out. Certainly, like I said, I have to build up more strength in it. My motion isn't all the way back. But I didn't feel like it affected me."
The Celtics, who are 10-0 at home and 17-5 overall (good for second in the Eastern Conference) next head to Hayward's native Indiana to face the Pacers on Wednesday before returning to Boston on Thursday to face the Philadelphia 76ers for the first time since losing to them opening night. That game will mark Al Horford's return to Boston.
Meanwhile, Boston was without Marcus Smart (eye infection) and Robert Williams III (sore hip) for Monday's game.

Europe to examine case for bigger CO2 cuts
Europe's climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard is to set out the case for a unilateral 30% EU cut in CO2
At the end of May she will unveil research examining the consequences to Europe's economy of outdoing the current 20% target.
She said no position had been taken by Europe on a new unilateral target. But she warned the fall in CO2 during the recession meant a 20% cut would not drive the clean energy innovation Europe needed.
She said China was investing almost 10 times as much as the EU in plans for a low-carbon economy.
"Europe risks being left behind," she said at a lecture in London organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development.
She said that due to the recession, it is now a third cheaper to achieve the 20% target than when it was agreed in 2007.
"For an extra 11bn Euros on the sum originally proposed, the EU can now make a 30% CO2 cut [by 2020, based on 1990 levels]" she said. Her paper will examine the costs and benefits of such a proposal.
"She said it would include benefits like cleaning up local air pollution and energy security - and, crucially, the stimulus it would give to low-carbon innovation in Europe.
Ms Hedegaard said a new stimulus was desperately needed. She warned that so many carbon permits had been held unused in the EU, and so many credits were available on the carbon market that firms could carry on with business as usual for the foreseeable future.
The EU needed to do something to drive up the carbon price in order to drive invention, she said.

On niche partitioning and the Ohio State Buckeyes
By: Erin Pickett, MS student, Biotelemetry and Behavioral Ecology Laboratory & GEMM Lab, MMI
Buckeye anecdote
I recently found myself sitting at a Sunday brunch at the Westin in Washington, D.C., talking to my uncle about my research on the foraging ecology of penguins. Our entire extended family had gathered for a cousin’s wedding, and it was the first family gathering in a long time that I had been able to attend due to always being “out on some island”, as my cousin puts it. In fact, I got a shout-out during one of the dinner reception speeches for coming all the way from Antarctica for the wedding.
My uncle asked me about my research while our surrounding family members sipped their coffee and OJ and recounted the highlights of the previous night’s wedding reception. This conversation with my uncle was the first I’d had with a family member all weekend that had progressed past my ‘elevator speech’ of what I was studying in school. After I described my research questions about resource partitioning between Adelie and gentoo penguins, my uncle glanced around the room full of family members and said to me, “You know what….”? And then he went on to describe his thoughts about how our aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws all occupied distinct niches within our family.
The definition of the word niche is broad, and for this reason it can be used to describe the roles of younger siblings, matriarchs, sisters, and Ohio State Buckeye fans within their families or communities. Take for example my entire family on the dance floor chanting O-H-I-O during the bands requisite rendition of “Hang on Sloopy” at the wedding reception. As Buckeyes, we were occupying a role distinct from that of the bride’s family, who are Notre Dame Fans. Within our immediate families, the roles of every sibling and parent are further differentiated. My uncle and I looked around the room and saw a family who despite a wide range of personalities and football allegiances, was managing to enjoy a pretty good time together!
Ecological niche theory and sympatric penguins
In ecology, the term niche is used to describe the ecological role that a species occupies within an ecosystem (Hutchinson 1957). The concept of an ecological niche is typically used in ecology to describe how similar species coexist within the same space. This coexistence is made possible through segregation mechanisms that facilitate resource partitioning, such as spatial or temporal differences in foraging location, or dietary segregation (Pianka 1974). With this in mind, the main objective of my master’s research is to quantify the ecological niches of Adelie and gentoo penguins in terms of space, time and diet, in order to investigate whether foraging competition is occurring between these two species. You’ll find more background on this project here.
The first step in my investigation of resource partitioning was to assess the extent and consistency of dietary overlap between these two species. The diets of Adelie and gentoo penguins vary regionally, but along the Antarctic Peninsula the prey of both species is typically dominated by Antarctic krill. This was the case when I studied the diets of these two species at Palmer Station in Antarctica. I also found that both species consume the same size classes of krill and that this was consistent across both low and high prey availability years (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Length-frequency distribution of Antarctic krill found in penguin diet samples (2010-2015). Krill size class bins shown on x-axis with the proportion of those size classes depicted on the y-axis. Palmer LTER unpublished data.
The next step of my project is to assess the foraging habits and space-use patterns of these two species. They share food, but do they forage in the same areas? I am in the process of analyzing spatial data obtained from satellite and TDR (time depth recording) tags temporarily attached to Adelie and gentoo penguins during the breeding season to determine the core foraging areas. I am using kernel density estimate (KDE) techniques to visually and quantitatively determine the size and extent of spatial overlap between both species foraging areas (Figure 2).
Figure 2. An example plot of 3D kernel density estimates outlining 95% and 50% volume contours of foraging penguins during the 2010 breeding season. Orange and green depict the core foraging areas of gentoo and Adelies, respectively. Horizontal axes show northing and easting values and depth is shown in meters on the vertical axis.
The KDE method allows me to turn hundreds of satellite tag derived location points into a probability density surface which depicts where an animal is most likely to be found (Kie et al. 2010). 2D KDEs are sufficient to describe the ranges of many terrestrial animals, however, 3D KDEs are a more appropriate description of the space-use patterns of diving seabirds. By failing to incorporate the depth at which these two species are foraging, 2D KDEs might overestimate the extent of spatial overlap between two species who are foraging in the same location but at different depths. Similar to other studies (Cimino et al. 2016 & Wilson 2010), I am finding that Adelie and gentoo penguins may be partitioning resources by foraging at different depths, with gentoo penguins diving deeper than Adelies. By foraging at different depths, these two species are limiting foraging competition.
While I am working on these analyses, I am also thinking about my next step, which will be to determine whether foraging niche overlap between Adelie and gentoo penguins is a function of prey availability. Resource availability is a critical component of niche segregation. When resources are abundant, there is typically a higher tolerance for niche overlap (Pianka 1974, Torres 2009). Conversely, niches may become more distinct as resources decrease and successfully partitioning these resources will become more important to minimize competition. In order to address the effect of resource availability on niche partitioning between Adelie and gentoo penguins, I will be comparing their foraging niches during years of both low and high prey availability. This will allow me to truly evaluate the potential occurrence of foraging competition between these two species.
I’ll keep you updated on my progress with data analysis in future blogs, but before I go I’ll share one last piece of wisdom about niche theory that I’ve learned from my family. There is a niche for everyone unless you are a Michigan fan, then no amount of spatial or dietary partitioning in a room full of Ohio State Buckeyes will save you.

How can we reconstruct life-history pathways of whales?
By Leila Lemos, Ph.D. Student, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, OSU
Have you ever heard of statistical modeling? What about Hierarchical Bayes Models?
Hard words, I know…
Modeling is when known data (previously collected) is analyzed using sophisticated computer algorithms to look for patterns in these data. Models can be very useful for filling in data gaps where and when no sampling occurred. Hierarchical Bayes model is a type of statistical model that hierarchically integrates the observed data to estimate parameters. This type of model can analyze long-term data from individual animals to predict into data gaps and inform us about population dynamics.
When studying wild animals we often only collect data from brief and random encounters. Therefore, many researchers struggle with the reconstruction of possible pathways that could connect different sightings of wild animals to determine where, when and how the animal was doing in between sightings.
For instance, consider an animal that was observed in healthy condition at one sighting but in a subsequent sighting it was in poor health. How can we estimate what happened to this animal between sightings? Can we estimate where, when and how health deteriorated?
This is where the modeling comes in! It is a powerful tool used by many researchers to fill in gaps in our scientific knowledge using data that we do have. We use these ‘known data’ to estimate patterns and determine probabilities. The hierarchical Bayes model is a type of modeling that can be used to estimate the probability of pathways between known events. Schick et al. (2013) used hierarchical Bayes models to estimate the many factors that impact whale health and survivorship including distribution and movement patterns, true health condition of the individual and survival rates.
Modeling is very advantageous when studying aquatic animals like dolphins and whales that are very hard to spot since they spend a higher proportion of their lives submerged than above water. Also, sea conditions can hamper visual detection.
Schick et al. (2013) analyzed decades of data from photo-identifications of North Atlantic right whale resightings along the east coast of North America. They assessed different information from these pictures including body condition, infestation of cyamids, presence of fishing gear entanglements, rake marks and skin condition. The authors also used information of age and calving of the individuals. A model using these data was constructed and a more complete scenario of health and movement patterns of individuals and the populations were estimated. Survival rates of each individual were also estimated using this model. This is an example of a well-informed model and is important to notice that a model is only as good as the data you put into the model.
Using this model, Schick et al. documented variations in annual spatial distribution patterns between sexes (Fig. 1). For example, females arrive earlier to the BOF region than males, and have greater estimated transitions to SEUS region at the end of the year. It is also possible to see that there is a lack of information for the region MIDA, characterizing another advantage of modeling since it can highlight areas where effort should be increased.
Figure 1: Movement transition estimates from North to South regions in the western Atlantic Ocean for male and female right whales over the course of a year. Size of the circles in each region at each month corresponds to the actual number of right whales observed. Lines connecting regions indicate probability of transition. Magnitude of probability is depicted by line thickness.

Source: Figures 5 and 6 from Schick et al. 2013.
When the model is applied to individual whales, the authors were able to estimate survival and health rates across the whale’s life-span (Fig. 2). Whale #1077 was a rarely seen adult male, with a sparse sighting history over 25 years. The last sighting of this whale was in 2004 when its health status was poor due to a poor body condition. According with his condition in the last sighting, the model predicted a high decrease in his health over time and since the whale was not seen for more than six years, so was presumed dead, following the standards set by the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium.

Time series of health observations for body condition, cyamids, entanglements, rake marks and skin condition (circles), estimates with uncertainty of health (thick line and dashed lines) and estimates of survivals (height rectangle at bottom). Photographic observations are color and size coded by class (three categories for body condition: green is good, orange is fair and purple is poor; and two categories for skin condition: green is good and orange is poor).
Source: Figure 11 from Schick et al. 2013.
As I begin data collection for my thesis project to examine gray whale health along the Oregon coast in relation to ocean noise and inter-annual variability, I am considering how to apply a similar modeling approach to enhance our understanding of what influences individual gray whale health and also connect pathways between our resightings.
The marine environment is constantly changing, across space and over time. Therefore, distinguishing what contributes most significantly to whale stress levels can be very challenging. However, through a model we may be able to decipher the contributions of several factors to individual stress among the many parameters we are monitoring: ocean noise, prey availability, environmental patterns, season, sex, age, geographic area, reproductive status and body condition.
Marine ecology is a complex world, and sometimes complex models are needed to help us to find patterns in our data! Once estimates of these ecological processes are created and different hypotheses are explored, information can then be provided to conservation and environmental management to aid decision making, such as defining thresholds of ambient ocean noise levels in the vicinity of baleen whales.

Are Oregon gulls trash birds?
By Stephanie Loredo, MSc student
“Violent” and “greedy” are words often used to describe gulls in populous areas where food or trash are readily available. Humans are used to seeing gulls in parking lots, parks, and plazas eating left over crumbs. Many people have even experienced menacing gulls ripping food away from their hands. Anecdotes like these have caused people to have negative perceptions of gulls. But could the repulsive attitude towards these birds be changed with evidence that not all gulls are the same? Well, Oregon may be home to an odd bunch.
Last year, the Seabird Oceanography Lab in conjunction with the GEMM Lab began putting GPS trackers on western gulls (Laurus occidentalis) off the Oregon Coast. One of the goals was to determine where gulls scavenge for food while raising chicks: at sea or on land in association with humans. We were particularly interested to see if western gulls in Oregon would behave similarly to western gulls in California, some of which make trips to the nearest landfill during the breeding season to bring not only food but also potentially harmful pathogens back to the colony.
During the 2015 breeding season, 10 commercially brand ‘i-gotU’ GPS data loggers were placed on gulls from ‘Cleft-in-the-Rock’ colony in Yachats, Oregon. The tags provided GPS locations at intervals of two minutes that determined the general habitat use areas (marine vs. terrestrial). After a two-week period, we were able to recapture six birds, remove tags, and download the data. We found that these western gulls stayed close to the colony and foraged in nearby intertidal and marine zones (Figure 1). Birds showed high site faithfulness by visiting the same foraging spots away from colony. It was interesting to see that inland habitat use did not extend past 1.3 miles from shore and the only waste facility within such boundaries did not attract any birds (Figure 1). Tagged birds never crossed the 101 Highway, but rather occurred at beaches in state parks such as Neptune and Yachats Ocean Road.
Figure 1. Tracks from 6 western gulls, each color representing a unique bird, from the Cleft-in-the-Rock colony carrying micro-GPS units.
While it is hard to determine whether gulls avoided anthropogenic sources of food at the beach, preliminary analysis shows a high percentage of time spent in marine and intertidal habitat zones by half of the individuals (Figure 2). At a first glance, this is not as much as it seemed on the tracking map (Figure 1), but it nonetheless confirms that these gulls seek food in natural areas. Moreover, time spent at the colony is represented as time spent on coastal habitat on the graph, and thus “coastal” foraging values are over represented. To get a more exact estimate of coastal habitat use, future analysis will have to exclude colony locations and distinguish foraging versus resting behaviors.
Figure 2. Bar plot of the percentage of time spent in three distinct habitats for each gull carrying a GPS unit. The three-letter code represents the unique Bird ID.
‘Cleft-in-the-Rock’ is unique and its surroundings may explain why there was high foraging in intertidal and marine zones rather than within city limits. (The Cleft colony can also be tricky to get to, with a close eye on the tide at all times – See video below). The colony site is close to the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and surrounded by recently established conservation zones: the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve Area, Marine Protected Area, and Seabird Protected Area (Figure 1). Each of these areas has different regulatory rules on what is allowed to take, which you can read about here. The implication of these protected areas in place means there is more food for wildlife! Moreover, the city of Yachats has a small population of 703 inhabitants (based on 2013 U.S Census Bureau). The small population allows the city to be relatively clean, and the waste facility is not spewing rotten odors into the air like in many big cities such as Santa Cruz (population of 62,864) where our collaborative gull study takes place. Thus, in Yachats, there is more limited odor or visual incentive to attract birds to landfills.
Field crew descends headland slope to reach ‘Cleft-in-the-Rock’ gull island in Yachats, OR (colony can be seen in distance across the water). The team must wear wetsuits and carry equipment in dry bags for protection during water crossing.
In order to determine whether gull habitat use in Yachats is a trend for all western gulls in Oregon, we need to track birds at more sites and for a longer time. That is why during the breeding season of 2016, we will be placing 30 new tags on gulls and include a new colony into the study, ‘Hunters Island’. The new colony is situated near the Pistol River, between Gold Beach and Brookings in southern Oregon, and it is part of the Oregon Islands Wildlife Refuge.
We will have 10 ‘i-gotU’ tags (Figure 3) and 20 CATS tags (Figure 4), the latter are solar powered and can collect data for several weeks, months, and hopefully even years! These tags do not need to be retrieved for data download; rather data can be accessed remotely, providing minimal disturbance to the gulls and colony. With long-term data, we can explore further into the important feeding areas for western gulls, examine rates of foraging in different habitats, and determine how extensive intertidal and marine foraging is throughout the year.
Figure 3. Taping an i-gotU tag for temporary attachment on the tail feathers of a gull.
Figure 4. Rehearsing the placement and harness attachment of a CATS tag which must be secured on the bird‘s back, looping around the wings and hips.
We are excited to kick start our field season in the next couple of weeks and see how well the new tags work. We know that some questions will be solved and many new questions will arise; and we cannot wait to start this gull-filled adventure!

Grad School Headaches
By Florence Sullivan, MSc student GEMM lab
Over the past few months I have been slowly (and I do mean SLOWLY – I don’t believe I’ve struggled this much with learning a new skill in a long, long time) learning how to work in “R”. For those unfamiliar with why a simple letter might cause me so much trouble, R is a programming language and free software environment suitable for statistical computing and graphing.
My goal lately has been to interpolate my whale tracklines (i.e. smooth out the gaps where we missed a whale’s surfacing by inserting artificial locations). In order to do this I needed to know (1) How long does a gap between fixes need to be to identify a missed surfacing? (2) How many artificial points should be used to fill a given gap?
The best way to answer these queries was to look at a distribution of all of the time steps between fixes. I started by importing my dataset – the latitude and longitude, date, time, and unique whale identifier for each point (over 5000 of them) we recorded last summer. I converted the locations into x & y coordinates, adjusted the date and time stamp into the proper format, and used the package adehabitatLT to calculate the difference in times between each fix. A package known as ggplot2 was useful for creating exploratory histograms – but my data was incredibly skewed (Fig 1)! It appeared that the majority of our fixes happened less than a minute apart from each other. When you recall that gray whales typically take 3-4 short breathes at the surface between dives, this starts to make a lot of sense, but we had anticipated a bimodal distribution with two peaks: one for the quick surfacings, and one for the surfacings between 4-5 minutes dives. Where was this second peak?
Fig. 1. Histogram of the difference in time (in seconds on x-axis) between whale fixes.
Sometimes, calculating the logarithm of one of your axes can help tease out more patterns in your data – particularly in a heavily skewed distribution like Fig. 1. When I logged the time interval data, our expected bimodal distribution pattern became evident (Fig. 2). And, when I back-calculate from the center of the two peaks we see that the first peak occurs at less than 20 seconds (e^2.5 = 18 secs) representing the short, shallow blow intervals, or interventilation dives, and that the second peak of dives spans ~2.5 minutes to ~5 minutes (e^4.9 = 134 secs, e^5.7 = 298 secs). Reassuringly, these dive intervals are in agreement with the findings of Stelle et al. (2008) who described the mean interval between blows as 15.4 ± 4.73 seconds, and overall dives ranging from 8 seconds to 11 minutes.
Fig. 2. Histogram of the log of time difference between whale fixes.
So, now that we know what the typical dive patterns in this dataset are, the trick was to write a code that would look through each trackline, and identify gaps of greater than 5 minutes. Then, the code calculates how many artificial points to create to fill the gap, and where to put them.
Fig. 3. A check in my code to make sure the artificial points are being plotted correctly. The blue points are the originals, and the red ones are new.
One of the most frustrating parts of this adventure for me has been understanding the syntax of the R language. I know what calculations or comparisons I want to make with my dataset, but translating my thoughts into syntax for the computer to understand has not been easy. With error messages such as:
Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) :
names do not match previous names
Solution: I had to go line by line and verify that every single variable name matched, but turned out it was a capital letter in the wrong place throwing the error!
Error in as.POSIXct.default(time1) :
do not know how to convert ‘time1’ to class “POSIXct”
Solution: a weird case where the data was in the correct time format, but not being recognized, so I had to re-import the dataset as a different file format.
Error in data.frame(Whale.ID = Whale.ID, Site = Site, Latitude = Latitude, : arguments imply differing number of rows: 0, 2, 1
Solution: HELP! Yet to be solved….
Is it any wonder that when a friend asks how I am doing, my answer is “R is kicking my butt!”?
Science is a collaborative effort, where we build on the work of researchers who came before us. Rachael, a wonderful post-doc in the GEMM Lab, had already tackled this time-based interpolation problem earlier in the year working with albatross tracks. She graciously allowed me to build on her previous R code and tweak it for my own purposes. Two weeks ago, I was proud because I thought I had the code working – all that I needed to do was adjust the time interval we were looking for, and I could be off to the rest of my analysis! However, this weekend, the code has decided it doesn’t work with any interval except 6 minutes, and I am lost.
Many of the difficulties encountered when coding can be fixed by judicious use of google, stackoverflow, and the CRAN repository.
But sometimes, when you’ve been staring at the problem for hours, what you really need is a little praise for trying your best. So, if you are an R user, go download this package: praise, load the library, and type praise() into your console. You won’t regret it (See Fig. 4).
Fig. 4. A little compliment goes a long way to solving a headache.
Thank you to Rachael who created the code in the first place, thanks to Solene who helped me trouble shoot, thanks to Amanda for moral support. Go GEMM Lab!
Why do pirates have a hard time learning the alphabet? It’s not because they love aaaR so much, it’s because they get stuck at “c”!

"A GOOD FOOTBALL MATCH IN MELBOURNE IS ONE OF THE SIGHTS OF THE WORLD.....THE QUALITY OF THE PLAY....IS MUCH SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING THE BEST ENGLISH CLUBS CAN PRODUCE....THERE IS MUCH MORE 'STYLE' ABOUT THE PLAY."
Richard Twopeny - English journalist and rugby player during a visit to Australia in 1883 (wikipedia)
Carlton Captain. R. Frayne.
Vice Captain. Jack Baker.
President. R. Robertson.
Secretary. M. Hearne.
Home Ground. Princes Oval.
Games Played. 24. Won. 14. Lost 7. Drew 3.
Honours. Champion of the Colony. Jack Baker.
Jack Baker was named Champion of the Colony and was also appointed the vice -captain of Carlton.
George Coulthard retired due to serious illness, his death occurred on October 22.
Opening game against a Waverley 23 saw Carlton win 7-0.
Among the new players to impress was a Robert Heatley who would later become President and work tirelessly for the Carlton Club.
The grandstand at Princes Park named in his honour.
Carlton then defeated Melbourne and South Melbourne.
Then came the July 21st. game against Essendon.
In a rough and vicious game Essendon 4.14 defeated the Blues 3.9 Carlton lost two of it's better players A. Wilson and Maloney to suspension.
This upset the balance of the team in mid season.
Following matches without these two resulted in losses to
Melbourne 1.10-0.11,
Geelong 4.14-3.10, and
South Melbourne 5.10-2.11.
Carlton visited Maryborough and defeated a local side 2.9-1.1
Rumours of Carlton players misbehaving was reported in the local and Melbourne papers. The Carlton Committee investigated and found two players guilty of misbehavior.
It was decided to leave these two players out of the side for the remainder of the season.
Nine senior players resented this move and promptly tendered their resignations.
(These disenfranchised players went to the Normanby Football Club, a Carlton off-shoot, which became the Fitzroy Football Club and was admitted to the V.F.A. the following year 1884.)
A team was built up with seconds and juniors. Jack Gardiner, former Carlton Captain, now a M.L.A of Victoria, came out of retirement to play for the Blues.
8,000 people attended Princes Oval to see Essendon slaughter the Carlton scratch team.
The Blues had different ideas and rose magnificently to the occasion.
Carlton 3.13 defeated Essendon 1.10
Carlton's best that day were Bloomfield, J. Martin, Baker , M. Slattery , Fitzgerald , Frayne and (one of the brothers) Coventry.

HARRY NUDD, HIS WIFE & THE CARLTON SILVER TROPHY
"Athletes appear to accept marital discipline uneasily. We have had two lately in the divorce court, and now a third, a Mr. Nudd, a printer, who was deprived by a brother printer, he alleges, not only of his wife, but of the silver challenge cup of the Carlton Football Club, which Mr. Nudd pathetically remarked was highly prized by him." (Ballarat Star, March 13 p3)
The North Melbourne Advertiser reported that the Hotham Football & Cricket Clubs are to hold a Grand Ball at the local Town Hall. The footballers, as a mark of respect, have instructed their club secretary to donate three guineas to the Coulthard Relief Fund.
"Mr. Hearn, secretary of the Carlton Club, acknowledged the receipt of the same, and, thanks to the Hotham Football Club, for their kindness in time of need."
March 28 Wednesday
The Gippsland Times reports;
"... a match having already been arranged between the Carlton Football Club and the Sale Club to be played at Sale, on the 24th May, the Queen's Birthday."
Carlton captain Dick Frayne pictured in Adelaide 1881.
April 06 Friday
Carlton F. C. AGM held at Carlton Hall, Prince's Street.
A large crowd attended and Mr. R. Roberston presided.
The report said that last season the First Twenty had been incapacitated through illness and the Second Twenty had done good service in supplying players at a critical time.
Illuminated addresses were given to R. Frayne, N. Coventry, and J. Rickards.
Medals presented to Second Twenty players, I. Muir, J. Woods, J. Melville, and J. Doran.
At the annual sports meeting held on the oval James Rickards was the most successful competitor.
The Club Handicap was won by by J. Baker and N/A. Coventry, and Mr. Gardiner MLA's prize by Mr. Sutherland.
The V.F.A. was criticised for it's handling of the Coulthard disqualification, and for the fines imposed for a player who changed his residential address from Sandhurst to Melbourne.
A club room will be erected in Princes Park.
Balance Sheet; Credit balance of £6 13s 8d ($ 13.37)
Last season the First Twenty played 21 matches;
Won 12 Lost 4 Drawn 5
Top goal scorers;
Coulthard 14, Baker 12, Bailey 8, John Rickards 6.
Second Twenty played 13 Won 8 Lost 2 Drawn 3
Woodburn 5, Leach 4.
Office bearers were elected;
President; Mr. R. Robertson.
Patrons; J. Gardiner, M.L.A., J. Pigdon, E. Latham, John Bell, R. Gibson.
Sec. and Treasurer; M. B. Hearne.
Committee; G. Robertson, Smith, Coulthard, Bloomfield, McHarg, McIntosh, Brooks, Marshall, Murphy
Captain; R. Frayne, Vice captain J. Baker.
Hon. Sec. Second Twenty; W. C. Donaldson.
Second Twenty captain; W. C. Donaldson.
"Large framed illuminated addresses were then presented to Messrs. R. Frayne, J. Rickards and A. Coventry for long service in the first twenty team.
Messrs. Melville and Doran, of the second twenty, were awarded a gold ring and locket respectively, and Messrs. J. Muir and J. Woods were presented with medals for general excellence of play." (Leader April 14)
The President advised the team to play together, as it was hard that the Carlton Club which had been the first to adopt the tactics of little marks, should be defeated by it's own weapon.
A member asked whether the words in the report- "that punishment was meted out to the accused by the association without due and impartial consideration," should be allowed to remain, even if it was true and that the implication was undeniable.
The Chairman said Coulthard was not guilty of the offence imputed to him. Even if he had been, he should have been cautioned for the first offence. It was clear to the committee after taking evidence that the association had acted without due and impartial consideration, and they would not be acting a manly part if they did not put the words into the report. (Cheers) The words were not a bit too strong, as the association had allowed Tankard, the other combatant in the melee that occurred, to play, while they disqualified Coulthard.

DRESSING ROOMS
Melbourne City Council.
Permission granted for the erection of a portable dressing-room for players at Prince's Oval.
Like the fencing, it must be removed at the end of the football season and not put in place again until the commencement of the new season.
May 04 Friday
The North Melbourne Advertiser;
"Carlton the famous dark blue, are likely to have a team much better than they have had for years. Although they lose Goer who has gone to Sydney, O'Neil removed by distance, Coventry joined (South Yarra), Coulthard and O'Donnell retired, and probably Maloney will follow suit, but the club will be greatly strengthend by the addition of Cameron (S. Melbourne), Heatley, Sherwood, Trilly, O'Loughlen and Whelan (Star of Carlton), Fleming (Moonee Ponds), and others.
The club's ground (Princes Oval), is in good order, and the fence again erected.
The playing members are authorized to pursue constant training in the future, so as to enable the club to regain it's former prestige."
Also reported in the same paper is that the new Brunswick Club has been formed with the amalgamation of the East Brunswick and the Brunswick Clubs.
REVISION OF RULES
At a meeting, the VFA amended some of the rules. The main alterations are;
"If any player wilfully touch the ball before it reaches the ground when thrown in from out of bounds, the umpire may allow a free kick to the opposite side from the spot where the ball went out of bounds."
"If any player wilfully kick the ball out of bounds when kicking off after the ball has gone behind, the umpire may allow a free kick to the opposite side from the spot where the ball went out of bounds."
"Any club playing a member of another club shall lose the match in which it plays such member, and shall, in addition for the first offence, be fined £5, for the second £10, and for the third shall be disqualified from playing any of the associated clubs during the remainder of the season."
(Argus May 05 p11)

Carlton played Star of Carlton (23) at Princes Oval.
A good attendance of 3,000, the game was played in windy conditions.
The Stars, who claim to be the leading Junior club, were confident even though four of their better players from last year were now with the Blues.
The Blues kicked to the eastern goal against the strong wind in the first half. The wind had abated a fair bit in the second half.
Defeat was looming, when Conway evened the score with ten minutes to go.

Carlton played South Yarra (23) at Princes Oval.
The youngsters played well in the first half when they kicked with the wind.
The Blues played with 19 men in the second half due to the insubordination of one of the senior players who was promptly sent off the field.
The Australasian said that "the Carlton played together as they used to do in the olden days."

TIME KEEPERS
A suggestion from The Sportsman;
"A matter that is well worthy of notice on the part of the Football Association is the appointment of some person to act as "Time-keeper," instead of allowing that duty to be performed, as at present, by the central umpire.
Just before a match commences, the respective captains decide as to what length of time they will play each way; the game then goes on until the central umpire thinks of looking to see if it half time; if so play is stopped, a few minutes for rest then takes place, then the second half begins.
If the game is at all exciting, the central umpire is kept too busily engaged in following the ball to think of what time it is, and it therefore not unfrequently happens that the play continues for some time after the hour agreed upon.
In a closely contested match a few minutes play might alter that state of the game.
It is therefore very desirable that the exact time should be adhered to, to prevent any unpleasantness."
Carlton played Williamstown (23) at the Gardens Reserve, Williamstown.
It was intended to charge for admission to pay for the cost of erecting fencing around the ground. However, the local city council would not allow it, much to the chagrin of the Williamstown Football Club.
Donation boxes were place outside the ground and a "good sum" was collected.
The Blues had met at Spencer street railway station at 2pm.
Carlton kicked off against a strong breeze. The Blues won a well fought game scoring 2 goals late in the second half, their fitness and experience eventually proved too much for the Villagers.
The Blues were thanked for coming to Williamstown and helping the local club pay off some of it's debt in setting up the ground.
The match created much interest, so much so, that 5 of the Williamstown Second Twenty stayed to watch the match instead of travelling to Royal Park to play The Avenue!
Carlton team; (20 named plus emerg)

Carlton played Sale (23) at Sale Cricket Ground.
The team left on the Wednesday afternoon train from Princes Bridge.
The weather was fine and a large crowd attended.
During the first half the ball only got close to home team's goal twice.
Sale's only goal was something of a fluke as the ball was kicked along the ground and bounced through the goals.
"The 'little marks' of the Carlton players was greatly admired, but their kicking was not very good, several easy chances at goal being missed for want of accuracy, and the only goal secured by a good kick was one by J. Baker at a very difficult angle."
The Carlton team was entertained after the match at the Criterion Hotel before they caught the train back to Melbourne.
Possibly the Blues highest score to date.
Baker, Bailey, Bloomfield, Coventry, Cameron, Cameron, Daley, Elliot, Frayne, Heatley, Joyce, Mills, McIntosh, Maloney, Jas. Rickards, Robertson, Syle, Sherwood, Smith, Sebire, Whelan, Joseph Walker, Wicks, Lowe.
The Gippslander named 23 Carlton players, the same as above, except for Daley.
Umpire; H. O. Allan
Carlton won; 17.26 - 1.0 (another report in the Australasian said 17.35)
Goals; Elliott 5, Cameron 3, Bailey 2, Baker 2, Whelan 2, Robertson, Mills, Rickards.
Carlton Reserves played Malmsbury at Malmsbury (near Kyneton)
The team met at Spencer Street station at 6.45pm Wednesday 23 May.
Aitken, Conway, Donovan, Fairnie, Hadley, T. Hutchinson, Leach, Melville (Capt), Muir, Martin, McKay, Quilty, Rickards, Robertson, Slatterly, Samuels, Sutherland, Watts, Woodburn, Woods.
Carlton won 6 - 0
Carlton played Hotham at the M.C.G.
Crowd; 12,000
This match was of two 50 minute halves with a 10 minute interval.
Normally matches were of two periods of 55 minutes with a 10 minute break.
The game began at 3.10pm and finshed at 4.58pm
"This was the first appearance of the Carlton team in a big match, and as soon as they took the field it was evident that the stoutness and physique for which they always have been noted - a characteristic favourably displayed by the dark blue uniform - had not been altered for the worse by the inclusion of this year's recruits."
Hotham have added a broad blue sash to their light blue and white uniform.
Heavy rains during the week have made the ground slippery.
Carlton won the toss kicking towards the city end and Rickards scored two quick goals and the Blues were playing all over Hotham.
Then all of a sudden a change came over the game, and Hotham's forwards got on top kicking three goals.
The Carlton backs played up the ground and when the ball was kicked long into Hotham's forward line, their forwards were unopposed.
Carlton had most of the play in the second half but couldn't score any goals, missing at least 8 easy chances to goal. The bell to end the game was rung a few minutes before it should have.
This was Hotham's first victory over the Blues in 7 years of combat.
The umpiring was not up to standard, and players were confused with the decisions. (See June 02)
"The win of the Hotham means the loss of a lot of money by the Carlton backers, who laid heavily on their men winning. The Carlton simply cannot kick goals, and they kicked away any number of chances last Saturday, as they did at Sale on the previous Thursday, when they scored seventeen goals and thirty-five behinds."

GEORGE COULTHARD BENEFIT
The takings from the Carlton - Melbourne match will be donated to Coulthard who has been in ill health for some time. He has been unable to take part in any active sports.
George will succumb to the effects of consumption (TB) within 12 months.
Peter Pindar of The Australasian had this to say about the umpiring at the Carlton-Hotham game last Saturday;
"The field umpiring was certainly a feature of this game, and any member of the Football Association present must have been convinced that it is high time that throughly trained and capable men should be employed and properly renumerated to save the public a recurrance of last Saturday's experiences."
EXIT "THE FOOTBALLER"
"The Footballer" annual which was edited by Carlton's Tom Power will not be published this year.
The publishers hoped that it would be back in print in 1884.
"The Footballer" was the first publication dedicated to the Australian game and it ran from 1875-1882.
The Age June 02 had a column of bookmakers advertising gambling for racing & football.
Carlton played Melbourne at the M.C.G.
All proceeds of this match are to be donated to Carlton champion George Coulthard who has been suffering a very serious illness, and for the last decade has been the most prominent player in Victorian football.
Coulthard's long association with the Carlton Football and the Melbourne Cricket Clubs, and along with the Melbourne Football Club, they urged all football supporters to attended and help ease Mr. Coulthard's medical expenses.
It was a cold and wet day, and the crowd was only around 5,000, about a third of what was expected.
£130 was donated to George Coulthard.
The Blues won the toss.
The playing conditions were atrocious.
The Record, (Emerald Hill) said;
"Carlton won the match five goals to three, but the outcome was no idication of the merits of the respective teams, as it was simply a matter of wading about in a pool of mud during the two hours the play lasted, not to metion the rain, which added much to the discomfort of both players and spectators." The Record said of George Coulthard "the best player who has ever appeared in the ranks of Carlton."
The Age, Monday June 4;
"Never before, during the histroy of football in Australia, was a game played under continuously adverse conditions as that between the Melbourne and Carlton clubs on Saturday last. Rain came down from start to finish without intermission. It was fully twenty minutes past three when the ball was kicked off, and consequently it was considerably after twilight when the game was concluded. In fact, so dark was it during the last 15 minutes that it was impossible to tell what the players were actually doing."
George Robertson was the umpire, "who must, however, have experienced some difficulty in distinguishing the players towards the end of the game, the light being so bad that only a few shadowy forms could be seen flitting about in the centre of the ground."
Former Blue John Rickards played for Melbourne and kicked 2 goals.

Carlton played South Melbourne at the M.C.G.
The weather was fine, however the turf was greasy.
Carlton won the toss and the game began at 3.35pm. The Blues kicked to the railway end.
The game was one of the season's best so far.
Maloney returned, and Bloomfield played his first game for the year.
The Blues started agressively and after a few minutes Bailey had the first goal on the board. For a while the ball was continually out of bounds. Then Carlton scored their second major through Heatley and this stirred the Southerners into action. South were quite active in the final 20 minutes of the first half, but despite this the Blues scored another goal this time by Rickards.
During the first half it was reported that, "the 'punting' of the South Melbourne players who seemed to adopt this style of kicking in preference to the usual 'drop'."
Immediately play commenced after half time the Blues put through their fourth goal.
The Blues were then put on the defensive for much of the remainer of the match.
The Age; "Their style of play on Saturday was all but perfect, that is, as perfection in football in Australia goes."
Carlton follower H. Wilson sustained a fracture of the little finger in his right hand. (Weekly Times June 16 p5)

The Herald (p3)
"Sir, - I beg to suggest that on Saturday next at the three cricket grounds the secretaries of the various clubs allow a collection to be made for J. Henry, an old Carlton player, who has been laid up for the last two years with lung disease, and who at the present moment in is very bad health. Yours, &c., CARLTON June 13"
Carlton played Clifton Union (23) at Princes Oval.
The Australasian;
"This contest took place on the Prince's Oval, in the presence of a goodly number of spectators, and, after a very one sided game, resulted in a victory for the senior club..."
The Age said;
"... but from the commencement of the game it was evident that the Juniors were completely over matched, and could not cope with the senior team. The first half of the game was an extremely one sided affair, the Carlton men scoring behind after behind in rapid succession, and also scoring 2 goals. During the second half the seniors placed 3 more goals to their credit, and the Clifton were beaten in a most ignominious fashion by 5 goals."

JOE HENRY - A FOOTBALLER'S SUGGESTION
Sir, - Would you kindly insert this letter on behalf of one of the best athletes this colony has produced (Henry of the Carlton Football Club), who seems past recovery, and in poor circumstances. So many old footballers and athletes want to do something for him; will you kindly help us this time, as you always do when asked. Seven years ago I had the pleasure of awarding him the Amateur Champion Cup for boxing (for Miller's benefit at the Princess Theatre) Henry's quiet ways always won respect.

Carlton played Geelong at the M.C.G.
The day was fine, but the cricket ground was sodden which made the ball very greasy and very difficult to handle.
Brownlow captaining Geelong kicked off.
Frayne won the toss and Carlton kicked with the wind in the first half to the eastern goal.
The teams were even with the expection of the Carlton centre line and forwards who had the better of their opponents.
"The Carlton team is much heavier than the Geelong, and this it was which caused the "blues" to be so much in the ascendent all through, excepting at brief intervals when Geelong bore down upon them with almost irresistable force." "Carlton's victory was on the whole well deserved, and that famous team, whose glory it was averred by some, had departed, is now to be congratulated on being at the top of the tree, though whether the coveted position will be long retained is another question."

JOE HENRY - THE FOOTBALLER HENRY
Sir, - Will you kindly grant me a small space your widely circulated newspaper re J. Henry the Carlton footballer's case. In looking up the list of football matches in your last Saturday's issue, I find no less than 42 matches arranged for and played on that day. I would suggest that each of these clubs subscribe a small amount, say 5s weekly, during the season. I am sure they would never miss the amount. With reference to such a monster turn-out as occured on the occasion of the match between Geelong and Carlton clubs last Saturday, I think those clubs should ante up a trifle of their "big takings" to assist an old comrade in his time of need.
Yours etc. B. H. MEYERS
The Australasian reported that during the week Essendon were defeated by Norwood in Adelaide.
The Dons now have the honour of being the first Victorian team to be beaten in that city.
Carlton played Essendon at the East Melbourne C.G.
Crowd; 8,000.
Strong northerly was blowing goal to goal, and the ground was in good condition.
The Blues won the toss and kicked with the wind.
" In justice to Frayne, the Carlton captain, it must be said that he evidently grasped the strength of his situation, and made the most of it, forcing the game during the first half, and making hay while not only the sun was shining, but more important still in football, while the wind was blowing. I am strongly inclined to the belief that the Carlton players owe this victory to the good judgment on the part of their skipper, for when the ends were reversed amarked change o'er the spirit of the game, and but for the heavy leeway Essendon had to put up, I might have had to record a second defeat to the redoubtable blues.
As in the Geelong match, Bloomfield and Wilson were eminently conspicuous from the start, worrying the Essendon backs by constantly repeated assaults, whilst Moloney and Smith did equally valuable service. I have seldom seen a better individual game than that played on Saturday by Moloney, whose ubiquitous nature enable him to gain possession of the ball, apparently twice as often as any other player in either team.
I am glad to notice that Wilson has almost entirely recovered from the accident he recently met with, and on Saturday the well known leather-topped guernsey was constantly conspicuous, as its wearer shot above surrounding friends and foes securing some wonderful marks. The duties pertaining to captaincy, although well and skillfully fulfilled, did not prevent Frayne showing brilliant flashes of play, whilst Heatley and Smith bore than a fair share of the battle's front."

CARLTON - MELBOURNE
"Football is busy and the teams of the great clubs are about up to their best strength. The "boss" club will be either Carlton or Melbourne; Geelong, so long the premier, is weak for them.
Carlton represents the everyday footballers. Melbourne is of the gant glace' style, and is quite determined to second to none." (gant glace - kid glove)

Carlton played Hotham at the Hotham Recreation Reserve, Arden Street.
Carlton's first game at this venue.
Work has been carried out to improve the arena. The ground has been fenced with a row of seating around the playing space, but there is very little under cover accomodation.
Rain made playing on the newly formed ground very difficult as water covered most of the arena. Two thirds of the ground has been resurfaced and the remainder was turned into a swamp, the ground was unfit to play on.
Hotham won the toss and kicked off with a strong north wind, and the rain poured down in the first half.
In the second half, the water, at the end to which the Blues were kicking, was above the tops of the players boots.
In the dying moments a disputed goal to Bloomfield drew the match.
"Bloomfield was awarded a free kick, near the south west corner, and by a beautiful kick he landed the 3rd goal for his side, the ball bouncing clean through."
Bailey and Walker did not play.

JOE HENRY - CONCERT
Benefit concert for Joe H. Henry at The Athenaeum.
300-400 people attended.
There were displays of gymnastics "of every kind" and boxing matches. One of the boxers, McLaren, had come down from Ballarat at his own expense.
The Carlton Football Club underwent their dumb-bell exercises under the direction of their instructor Professor Miller.
The Naval Reserve and the H.M.V.S. Cerebus crew gave a demonstration of use of the cutlass and other exercises.
£25 was raised for Joe Henry.
Carlton played Essendon at the East Melbourne C. G.
Crowd; 10,000.
The crowd witnessed the Blues using rough-house tactics to try and defeat the Dons.
A. Wilson and Maloney and Essendon's Carter, and Aitken being the main instigators.
Umpire, ex Carlton player George Robertson was far too lenient and should have penalised players earlier. He allowed the Essendon players to hold onto the ball for too long and this started the pushing, shoving and slinging.
The Carlton goal umpire had to replaced as Essendon claimed he was too biased.
Frayne's similar goal attempt was also given as a no goal by the other goal umpire.
An altercation between A. Wilson and W. Hughes (Ess) saw a crowd invasion and the players left the field.
The players returned, but Umpire Robertson refused to as the crowd had not left the field.
W. Hughes surrounded by the crowd put the ball through, but the central umpire was not on the ground.
The match was not resumed.
The Illustrated Australian News (Aug 8);
"A most unseemly disturbance took place on the 21st July on the East Melbourne cricket ground, during a football match between the Essendon and Carlton teams.
Several of the men on each side appeared to lose their heads completely, and, quite ingoring the rules of the game, they persisted in rushing any player who had made a mark, hurling him to the ground and behaving generally in a disgraceful and ruffianly manner.
The umpire was unable to reduce the disorder, and the game degenerated into a rough-and-tumble scrimmage of a most malicious character."

THE ARGUS SPEAKS OUT
The newspaper in it's editorial said;
"Football is degraded and disgraced by such scenes as that witnessed on the East Melbourne ground on Saturday last, when the Carlton and Essendon teams met together. The game is now the most popular of all outdoor sports, but the respectable portion of the public will withdraw their support unless the practices which brought an afternoon's rough play to a discreditable close are put down.
What occurred has been circumstantially described by our reporter. It is scarcely possible to imagine anything worse. The Carlton players being overmatched, adopted unfair tactics from the first, and the rough play with which they began ended in downright violence and brutality. One Essendon player was deliberately "slung" and another was "savagely mauled" and a third overthrown.
At last W. Hughes, who had obtained a mark for Essendon, and who was preparing to try for goal, was rushed at, hurled violently to the ground, and kicked. The spectators, who had marked their disapprobation of the Carlton tactics all through, were unable any longer to restrain themselves, and rushed the ground, bringing the game to an abrupt termination.
If football is not to given over entirely to bullies and roughs, conduct like that exhibited by the Carlton players on Saturday must be resolutely put down. The umpires may do something by showing vigilance and determination in the field, and by visiting every sign of unfairness with the appropriate penalty. But when players break through all restraints, and treat their opponents with savage violence, as was done on Saturday, punishment of a severe kind is called for. The necessary power is possessed by the Football Association, which may disqualify offending players, and thus deprive them of the opportunity of repeating their misconduct. It is to be hoped that Saturday's proceedings will not escape the notice of this body, but a searching inquiry will be held, and that the offenders, upon proof being given of their guilt, will be dealt with in the severest possible manner.
There must be no trifling, or football will be in danger of sinking into ruffianism."

HARRY WILSON 10 WEEKS - OUT FOR SEASON, MOLONEY'S FATE TO BE DECIDED
At the VFA meeting, Carlton's A. Wilson was disqualified for foul play in last Saturday's match against Essendon.
A. Wilson admitted part of the unfair tactics and apologised to the Association and to W. Hughes the player whom he was alledged to have kicked.
Mr. Marshall, a Carlton delegate, referred to Wilson's services as a veteran and brilliant player who had not been charged with an offence before.
The Association decided that an example had be made for the sake of the honour of football and disqualified him.
A. Wilson was disqualified for the remainder of the season.
A second case against Carlton's Moloney/Maloney who had been charged with throwing W. Hughes when he was about to kick, after he had marked the ball which had been awarded by the umpire.
This matter will be held over to the next meeting of the Association.
The Carlton Football Club will bring counter accusations of malpractice against Essendon's W. Hughes and Aitken.

Carlton played Melbourne at the East Melbourne C. G.
The Maffra Spectator;
"The unpleasant finish to last Saturday's football match had made many of the patrons of that game rather disgusted with the Carlton team. However, today a match is to be played between them and the Melbourne team, and it is hoped that there will be no repetition of last week's exhibition and that the Carlton team will regain their prestige for fair play. This is the match of the season and will no doubt attract a large crowd."
A. Wilson suspended, and Maloney under investigation, did not play.
Rain had turned the entire ground to mud.
The second half became a farce, as players covered in slush tried to stay on their feet.
The winning goal, a 50 yard kick with a wet, heavy ball, came late in the day with only 10 minutes left. The Blues desperately tried to level the scores but ran out of time.
Carlton were loudly jeered by much of the crowd because of last weeks' indiscretions.

THE FOOTBALL INQUIRY
Sir - Your admirable leader with reference to the recent charges of misconduct bought against certain of the Carlton players I entirely endorse.
But, in justice to the Carlton club, I think some severe sentence should have been passed on Hughes for his bad language. Coulthard was disqualified for the same thing; but the former culprit, although admitting his offence, is allowed to get off "scot free." The association in Hughes's case simply passed a resolution affirming that the improper language imputed to him (Hughes) was used towards the Carlton captain whilst smarting under provocation.
Surely Coulthard's case was a much harder one, but it seems to me that extreme partiality is shown to all clubs except Carlton. Justice is justice; let the association stop bad language by all means, But it should do so without fear or favour. Trusting you will insert this letter - I am, &c.,
I AM AN ADMIRER OF THE CARLTON CLUB
(Argus p4)
"The game of football, when properly played is beyond doubt one of the most exciting of British sports, but such an exhibition of brutality as it was my disgust to witness in a match between the Carlton and Essendon teams on Saturday, is a discredit to the spirit of our colonial youth.
Some of the members of the Carlton team seemed to devote their whole efforts to the one object of assailing in an unfair and cowardly manner certain members of the opposing team, and in one instance a Carltonian sprang upon an Essendon player and, after felling him to the ground, vented his cowardly spleen by jumping on the body of his prostrate foe. The match ended in a general fight, and the spectators, or at all events the respectable part of them, hurried away from the scene in disgust.
I am glad to see that the matter has been taken in hand by ther Victorian Football Association, who have disqualified one of the Carlton men from again playing during the season."
Trove; Geelong Advertiser August 04 (p3)
Carlton played Geelong on the Corio Cricket Ground.
500 Blues fans travelled on the special train from Melbourne.
The weather was fine and the ground was in good condition.
Geelong won the toss and kicked with a strong wind to the southern goal.
The Corio ground slopes considerably to the end to which Geelong were kicking to. The locals had 3 goals on the board within the first 15 minutes.
The Blues fought back a scored 1 goal before half time, and Bloomfield missed a sitter from 5 yards out dead in front.
Then put on 2 by Donovan within 3 minutes of the start of the second.
The Blues were not happy with umpiring of the local, J. J. Trait; as he awarded 12 free kicks to Geelong and only 2 to Carlton.
The Argus reporter said Whelan may have been reported for abusive language.
"The game was one of the fastest and best exhibitions of football ever witnessed here, and its enjoyment was marred only by a little rough play by Barrass and Baker, and by the bad taste of a number of non-playing visitors who hooted the umpire when his decisions were adverse to Carlton."

Victoria played NSW under British Assocation Rules (soccer) on the East Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The game was introduced to the NSW colony about three years ago. The Anglo-Australian club was formed in Melbourne earlier this year.
"Although fine weather, prevailed but little interest was manifested in the proceedings, the attendance being small."
The Weekly Times (August 18 p5) said the ground dimensions were 200 yards in length x 100 yards in width. Goal posts 8 yards apart with a cross bar 8 feet high.
Almost twice the length of today's grounds.
CARLTON'S PRE - EMINENCE, CROWD BEHAVIOUR TO DICK FRAYNE and UMPIRE
The Leader's "Follower" on page 19, reporting on the Carlton - South Melbourne match last Saturday.
"So far as the Carlton club is concerned, all true footballers must regret what it has had to suffer through the rash folly of a few, and those who at present juncture are only too willing to "cast the first stone" would do well to remember that in the days of yore, before the success of the game as a leading Victorian institution was well assured, the Carlton club had a big say in making Victorian football what it is."
(Blueseum's emphasis)
"The foregoing remarks are due to the contempt one naturally feels at the cowardly folly of those small souled persons who on Saturday boo-hooed Frayne for no other apparent reason than that he commanded the enemy and was playing well. It would, I fancy, be difficult to find a pluckier or more straightforward player than the Carlton captain; and if those persons who attempted a hostile demonstration against him on Saturday have really the interests of the South Melbourne club at heart they will either learn to treat an opponent like a man, or stay away from contests that are too much for their feelings.
This abomable "barracking" mania is becoming simply insufferable, and I cannot help expressing my firm conviction that for most of the rough and objectionable play too often witnessed, the spectators are more to blame than the offending players. What can be expected of men playing a game which is of necessity more or less rough in itself, in the heat of excitement incited by the yelling chorus one is too often compelled to listen to without intermission, and which not unfrequently assumes the form of hostility to a capable and impartial umpire, probably for fairly and strictly enforcing the laws which are supposed to regulate the game?"
Carlton played Maryborough at Princes Park, Maryborough.
The team met at Spencer Street station at 3.15pm Friday.

BRAWLS & CROWD BEHAVIOUR
The Launceston Examiner's Melbourne correspondant writes;
"The winter pastime-football-has this year attracted greater interest, both inside and outside sporting circles than for many years past.
A few weeks ago at a big match between the Carlton and Essendon clubs on the East Melbourne Cricket Ground, terminated in an unseemly brawl, in consequence of the absolute brutal behaviour of some of the Carlton players.
At Geelong the other day some very violent language was used by partisans of the local club, then engaged in a match with Carlton.
For milder remarks than were then uttered persons have often been punished for attempting to disturb the public peace, and an outlooker writing to one of the papers expressed surprise that the players could restrain themselves under such incitements as were uttered by the spectators.
On another occasion, at Williamstown, an unfortunate goal umpire, who gave a decision that did not please the crowd, was compelled to run for his life to the railway station, with a howling mob after him, and had he not reached security he might have suffered seriously."
August 22 Wednesday.
MISBEHAVIOUR IN MARYBOROUGH
From the Maryborough and Dunolly Advertiser;
"Some sensational paragraphs have appeared in the Ballarat and Melbourne papers alledged misbehaviour of Carlton footballers who visited this town last week, we have made inquiries into the matter, and find that a many great portion of the statements made are gross misrepresentations.
The visiting team were accommodated in the McIvor and the Bull and Mouth Hotels. In the former, one of the team was somewhat noisy until he was spoken to, when he subsided.
At the hotel last mentioned, some two or three of the players also indulged in horse play for a time, but of a no more serious character than might be expected from a lot of school boys let loose on a holiday. One of them was also guilty of an act which at least was not creditable, but it was not nearly so reprehensible as that described in the paragraphs.
Altogether it may be said that a great deal has been made of a very small matter, and so far from the hotelkeepers refusing the team accommodation in the future, they are annoyed at the publicity given to what they only regarded as almost an every-day occurrence on such occasions."
BLUES INVESTIGATE, PLAYERS RESIGN
The South Australian Register;
"The Carlton Football Club has commenced an enquiry into the grossly obscene and disorderly conduct of a number of it's members while visiting Maryborough last Saturday."
At a special meeting of the Club, it was found that Whelan and Barrass had been found guilty of misconduct on the visit to Maryborough.
The club found that their conduct was not as bad as stated.
However, so that the reputation of the Carlton Football Club would not suffer, it was decided that the services of these two players would not be required for the remainder of the season.
The Sportsman said Carlton intended to disqualify Barrass from ever playing with the club again.
The club also disqualified Whelan for rough treatment of the Carlton official Mr. Marshall on the return trip from Maryborough.
As a result nine (Sportsman said 12) other players tendered their resignations.
Most of the nine were new players to the club this year.
The nine who resigned are;
J. Cameron, T. Cameron, Shearwood, Elliott, Syle, Joyce, Daley, Woods, and Mills.
Nine years later George F. Bowen aka "Olympus" writing in the Melbourne Punch May 05 1892 recalls the resignations;
"It is some years now since twelve of the best men (that's best as far as football play was concerned) in the Carlton first twenty left the club in a body some 18 hours prior to an important contest taking place between the Dark Blues and Essendon. But the memory of that time is still vivid as I write, and the gathering years have only succeeded in strengthening my conviction that President Robert Robertson took the right path when allowed the recalcitrants to sever their connection with naught else but the curt, though courteous intimation - "Well gentlemen, we have no further need of your services." Those few words put new life and vigour into the Carlton Football Club, and from that day to this it has never ceased to progress and prosper."
"A THING OF THREADS AND PATCHES"
Carlton played Essendon at Princes Oval.
The first senior match to be played on this ground this season.
The East Melbourne C.G. and M.C.G. are unavailable as they are being prepared for the cricket season.
With the loss of half of the team, (see resignations above) new and old players had to be brought in.
Out of retirement came former Carlton Captain, J. Gardiner, now a parlimentarian, to help out his old club.
No one expected Carlton to win.
It was an improbable win, a win against all the odds, 10 senior players and the rest of the team made up from the second twenty, plus an old timer.
The Blues were left with 19 men for most of the game as Watts was carried from the field 10 minutes after play began.
The weather was fine and a slight wind blowing which Carlton kicked with.
The Blues attacked and scored a couple of behinds then everyone expected Essendon to dominate, but the Blues went forward and scored a goal, then two more. In the first half the visitors had not managed one shot on goal, infact, they couldn't get the ball within 20 yards of their goal.
In the second half the wind died, but it looked like Essendon would soon wipe off the deficit, but their forwards could not find the target.
"indeed, it was really the Herculean exertions of of a few of the older players, coupled with the splendid play together of the second twenty men, that bought about what must be to the old club a most gratifying result. The way the team played together in the first half was a treat to witness, and will compare favourably with the best efforts of the Carlton club for years past.
The victory was a very popular one with the crowd, owing to the peculiar circumstances under which Carlton took the field, and the winning team received quite an ovation at the close of the game."
"But, surprisingly, this scratch Carlton team, 'a thing of threads and patches,' rose to the occasion in a magnificent way."

From The Age,
CLUB INQUIRY - MICK WHELAN & BARRASS SUSPENDED
"A special meeting of the Carlton Football Club committee was held on Friday evening at the Clyde Hotel, to take into consideration the conduct of the players who visited Maryborough on the previous Saturday.
The necessity for this meeting arose from the publication of a paragraph which appeared in the Ballarat Courier on Monday last, and was copied into several of the Melbourne papers, reflecting in a most serious manner on the conduct of several members of the Carlton team while visiting Maryborough.
The committee considered that a strict investigation into the truth or otherwise of the charges was absolutely necessary, and with that end in view personal inquiries were made at Maryborough, and although the offences committed were nothing like so gross as represented yet sufficient information had been procured to justify the committee in citing several members of the team before Friday's night meeting to answer for their conduct.
After a very careful inquiry two of the team Whelan and Barrass, were unanimously found guilty of improper conduct, and the committee resolved that they should not be again chosen to play for the remainder of the season. Immediately on this decision being made known a number of the members of the first twenty, by a letter, took exception to the finding of the committee, and stated their intention not to play again for the club.
Those who signed the document were called in, and were informed by the president that the committee were quite willing to accept their resignations, but before doing so an explanation of the exact position would be given to them. This having been done they were asked if they still adhered to their signatures, and they, with one exception, answered in the affirmative. Their resignations were at once accepted, and they were told there be no occasion for their services against Essendon.
The club was then placed in the position of having it's team for Saturday considerably reduced, but so unanimous was the feeling, both in and out of the committee, that a firm stand was necessary to be taken, that no difficulty was found in filling up the ranks from the older playing members of the club and the more prominent second twenty players.
The following are the names of the first twenty who resigned: - J. Cameron, T. Cameron, Shearwood, Elliott, Syle, Joyce, Daley, Mills, and Woods.
The team which played against Essendon consisted of the following: - (20) Baker, Bloomfield, Coventry, C. Donovan, Frayne, Fitzgerald, Heatley, Maloney, Jas. Rickards, Smith, Woodburn, Jos. Rickards, Martin, Mair, Slattery, Aitken, Melville, Watts, Leach, and J. Gardiner."
August 29 Wednesday
The Camperdown Chronicle reports;
"Two leading members of the Carlton Football Club, expelled for life, for gross misconduct.
Verdict of the public, "serve them right".
COMMITTEE PRAISED
The Argus editorial says;
"The committee of the Carlton Football Club has done good service to the game with the firmness it has shown in dealing with two of the members who misconducted themselves in the country.
It was felt that in order to preserve the credit the club and the game an example must be made of the players who had bought discredit upon themselves and their associates by their ungentlemanly conduct, and accordingly the delinquents were suspended from play for the rest of the season.
Nine or ten of the first twenty players endeavoured to influence the committee by sending in a letter objecting to the decision which had been arrived at, and stating their intention of not again playing for the club.
The committee, however, was not to be intimidated, and promptly accepted the resignations of the dissatisfied members. In taking this decided stand against rowdyism, the committee will have the sympathy of all true footballers and of the public generally. Recent occurrences in the football field have shown that there has crept into some of the clubs a very objectionable element, which must be put down if the game is to be any longer a reputable pastime.
Misconduct is now, it would seem, not confined to the field, but is practised by some of the players wherever they go, so that the visits of footballers are anticipated in the country districts with dread instead of pleasure. Why it should be necessary for footballers to thus misbehave themselves is hard to say.
Cricketers travel about the country freely enough during the season, but we do not hear of disreputable doings on their part. The fact, however, remains, and it rests with the football authorities - the association and the club committees - to purify the game from the taint of blackguardism which has infected it. Public opinion, we are sure, will thoroughly support the Carlton committee in the steps that it has taken to preserve the respectability of the game, and it's firmness in the matter cannot be too highly commended.
The pressure placed upon it was severe, and it will no doubt have to endure some unpleasantness for what it has done. But the members generally, and the public also, will approve of it's action.
It is better to weaken the club temporarily than to allow to go unchecked conduct which, in the long run, would destroy it altogether."
The Australasian said;
"I learn that apologies were received by the club last week from the refactory players - Joyce and Mills excepted - and their considerations were deferred for a week.
Last Tuesday evening the apologies were accepted; but the question of playing or not playing the transgressors was held in abeyance, some of the committee being for reinstating them and others for passing a formal resolution to exclude them from the team for the rest of the season."
Carlton played Melbourne at the Fitzroy Cricket Ground on Brunswick Street.
A local paper The Mercury and Weekly Courier, said that this is the first senior football match ever to be played in Fitzroy. (The North Fitzroy Cricket Ground)
Crowd; 7,000. Receipts; £131 2s 8d, as expected this was the largest crowd to have attended the ground.
The M.C.G. was unavailable due to preparations for the cricket season.
The Fitzroy Cricket Club have enlarged the playing area and ringed the ground with seats. Further improvements are planned which will make it one of the most attractive in the suburbs.
The Argus reporter complained that the ground was too far away from central Melbourne.
He was also forced to watch the match from a lorry parked outside the Brunswick Street ground.
He commented on the fact that the clubs were able to charge entry, something he did not agree with.
"Donovan undoubtedly played the most effective game for his side, and bids fair to even excel his once redoubtable brother, having the advantage of a more lithesome figure, although not presenting perhaps that impregnable front which distinguished the ex-captain, whose charge used to be likened, and with some justice, to the action of a steam hammer."
".... but next to Donovan, little Martin, who was conspicuous in his light blue uniform, deserves first mention, playing as well as he had done against Essendon - which is saying a good deal." (Leader September 08 p20)
The Blues selected mostly the same players who had been victorious last last week.
Baker was unavailable.
Frayne won the toss.
The Blues were very good in the first half, but the Reds dominated in the second and only their poor goal kicking kept Carlton in the game.
Scores were level late in the game when Donovan following the ball saw it go out of bounds and he gave up the chase. The umpire failed to see that it was over the boundary line. His opponent picked up the ball kicked it to in front of goals where it was marked. Melbourne scored what turned out to be the winning goal.
Towards the end of the game Frayne was forced to leave the round with an ankle injury.

CARLTON MEETING
"At a meeting of the Carlton Football Club, held last evening at Connor's Clyde Hotel, the players who had resigned their membership under misapprehension tendered their apologies to the committee. These were all accepted, with one exception, that was only on account of the wording of the apology, which will be amended before the committee sit again. The team picked for Saturday next will almost be identically the same as that played last Saturday against Melbourne, the committee not deeming it advisable to shunt the men who came to the rescue when they were in a fix, notwithstanding the return to the fold of the deserters." (World, 5th September) Ballarat Star September 06 p3
Carlton played South Melbourne at Princes Oval.
A fine day and the ground was in good condition.
Frayne out with an injured knee.
C. Donovan did not play.
Carlton played mostly the same team of the last few weeks.
The crowd was expecting South to massacre the Blues.
But the Blues dominated the game and only their poor kicking for goal let them down.
The Blues inaccuracy was put down to them trying to kick goals using drop kicks instead of the more accurate place kick.
South had only one shot on goal in the second half.

J & T Cameron returned after resigning on 24th. August.
Frayne still injured.
Hotham won the toss and Baker kicked off to start the match.
The first half was all Carlton due their agility and discipline, and game was played in good spirits.
As soon as the ball was thrown up after the half time break, Hotham started playing the man which was instigated by one of their weighty followers.
The heavier blue and whites knocking over the lighter Carlton men until the Blues' heavies joined in the action.
Peter Pindar said;
"So rough and vicious often was the play that the players dare not attempt to pick up the ball lest their hands be seriously injured, and the scene remined one of the rough-and-tumble savagery of a dozen years ago, and was certainly not in keeping with the present civilised times."
"I hold to the belief that skill and judgment in football will always triumph over mere brute force, and that the Carlton men honestly earned their victory, as they showed undoubtedly the better form."

Carlton played Melbourne at Princes Oval.
Joyce, one of the nine who resigned, returned.
The weather was a little too hot for football.

Carlton Reserves were fixtured to play Hawksburn at Albert Park
Peter Pindar of The Australasian writing the end of season review said;
"The football season of 1883 gave out it's dying kick on Saturday last, bringing to a termination one of the most brilliant and exciting epochs in the history of the game here - indeed, it is very doubtful if the annuals of football in Victoria furnish any period so full of life and genuine enthusiasm throughout as the one now gone, by reason of the splendidly matched condition of the senior clubs."
Mentioning the better players in the competition, Pindar selects these Carlton players among the best;
"Coming to the players, one of the first to command attention is Baker of Carlton.
Back, following, or forward, and nowhere out of place, he is undoubtedly one of the best players afield."
"For a good, honest, indefatigable follower, commend me to Bloomfield of Carlton."
T. Cameron was also mentioned among the best followers.
Better backmen Frayne and Donovan.
On the forward line Bailey,
Center line; in the center Maloney, along with wingman Coventry.
Another prominent Carlton player this year has been Smith.
Of Carlton's 1883 season he says;
"Starting ther season with one of the best, if not the best, twenties afield, the disqualification of two of the best players made a gap in the team, and no doubt seriously affected it in other ways. When added to this, the Maryborough fiasco and it's consequences, there was very little hope of the club keeping in the very first rank.
The action of the committee, however, in promptly putting down unruly conduct in it's own body corporate elicited the approbation of all interested in the maintenace of the character of the game, and will, no doubt, bear good fruit in time to come.
The leading players this year have been Baker, Bloomfield, Frayne, Donovan, the two Camerons, Smith, Clydesdale, Bailey, Coventry, Maloney, Heatley, Fitzgerald, Joyce, Sherwood, A. Wilson, Whelan, M. Slattery, the two Rickards, Martin, and Melville.
The chief goal-kickers were Baker with 19, Bailey 10, Heatley 10, Elliott 9, James Rickards 8 and Bloomfield 6."

VALE GEORGE COULTHARD
Death of Carlton Football Club champion Mr. George Coulthard, after a long and painful illness he died at home at 233 Lygon Street Carlton.
He was aged 27 years 83 days.
His funeral took place on the 24th and a large number of people followed his remains to the Melbourne General Cemetery for his burial.
George was the acknowleded first 'super star' of Australian Football. He was awarded Hall of Fame status by the AFL
Mr. Arthur A. Brown writes: - "As one of the many admirers of our now deceased football champion, Mr. George Coulthard, I should like to see some steps taken either to assist his widow, or else to erect a suitable monument over the resting place of one of the most deserving athletes - one who has tended to make the Dark Blues occuply such a grand position in the arena of football. I therefore venture to suggest that photographs of our deceased veteran should be taken and sold, say, at one shilling each, and proceeds devoted to either of the above objects
I feel confident that a goodly number of supporters of the Dark Blues would not regard their albums complete unless it contained the likeness of our late veteran. Trusting that this subject will be taken up in good spirit by all the patrons of the noble game, thank you in anticipation for your kindness in publishing this."
November 09 Friday
CROSS BAR PROPOSAL, & BEHINDS
An intercolonial meeting of the various football associations was held at Phair's Hotel.
The V.F.A. had sent out invitations to all colonies including Tasmania and New Zealand.
The Tasmanian delegate suggested the introduction of a cross bar across the goals, 10 foot from the ground, over which a goal had to be kicked. This proposal was defeated by a small majority.
The same representative also proposed the abolition of goals being awarded from free kicks. This was supported by another delegate, but the majority was against it.
The South Australian delegate suggested that behinds be taken into account for the game's total score. After much debate, no action was taken.
Some minor amendments to the rules were made, and further rule changes can only be made by an absolute majority of a meeting of the intercolonial delegates.

💜RUSH TO CARE!💜
Influencer Marketing, Instagram
When It Comes to Charitable Causes, Influencers Increasingly Lead
Influencers are aligning their values with causes and helping charities reach larger audiences.

In the ever more crowded and competitive and waters of the sea of influencers that are flooding instagram a new breed of influencer is emerging that stands out from the crowd. These influencers take the responsibility of their elevated position in the community seriously and they are using their influence to promote meaningful change.
In the past 5 years, we have seen a boom of individuals that have used social media networks to successfully create dedicated communities around niche topics from travel to beauty and health. It didn’t take long for brands to recognise the power of these individuals to affect consumers’ buying decisions and influencer marketing quickly transformed into an industry estimated to hit the $2.38 billion mark in 2019.
Brands have been flooding into influencer’s DMs by storm offering incentives for product placement within posts and stories, with marketers reportedly willing to pay up to £75,000 for a single post mentioning their brand by influencers with over one million followers. Even ‘micro-influencers’ – those with under 10,000 followers – can bag an average of £1,500 for a single post.
The popularity of influencers has been steadily growing but recent events have cast doubt for brands and communities alike. Noteable catastrophes including Fyre Festival – which made headlines because of influencers that had been paid to promote a festival that dramatically failed to deliver on its publicised image – have soiled the reputation of influencers worldwide.
Recent press has fed a common narrative that influencers are little more than selfie-taking narcissists.
Furthermore, brands have begun to question the effectiveness of working with influencers. For individuals that have worked with many brands, there is a fear that they are losing their authenticity. This creates an opportunity for those who are able to create more meaningful communities, and the authenticity that many brands are looking for.
Altruistic Influencers
Content creators, with a desire for something more meaningful, are steering away from sharing only self-promotional content and speaking up about their values. Many are using their influence to promote charitable causes, marking a definite shift in the direction of the influencer industry.
Social Media influencer Simonetta Lein, founder of the Wishwall Foundation
“I believe there is an urge to use our platforms to inspire and show concrete actions. Being an influencer is a strong word and it has to be done consciously. I want to show through my own actions that it is possible to bring awareness about topics that are afflicting so many, and also do something to change people’s lives.” says Simonetta Lein, an Instagram fashion & lifestyle influencer with over 1.7M followers who founded The Wishwall Foundation, a charity that addresses social causes like literacy, poverty, women’s safety and to help make wishes come true.
Social Media influencer Sol (@themomentbehind) supporting the charity Help Refugees
Influencers representing all niches on Instagram are aligning themselves with charitable causes and signalling what virtues they align with. Engagement with fans from their communities that share the same virtues are skyrocketing and charitable causes are benefitting from the well-needed exposure. “I can’t fix humanity but I can do THIS little thing, and this part can have an impact on someone’s life. So I decided to share on Instagram my experience of volunteering with refugees in Calais to inform others, to show them that it’s not something they should be detached from, something that is far away or that happens to ‘others’” comments Sol from The Moment Behind, a travel influencer who has decided to use her passion for travel and photography to showcase the truth behind the refugee situation and support the Help Refugees, a UK-based non-governmental organization which provides humanitarian aid to, and advocacy for, refugees around the world.
Charities are beginning to notice. Recognising that their messages and imagery need to involve people in order to be compelling and create engagement, many charities are working with influencers that have publicly aligned themselves with a shared value.
According to a report in 2017, 35% of those who follow an influencer online reported to have engaged with a cause because of an influencer’s recommendation. Of these, 51% said they made a donation to the cause which the influencer recommended, and an additional 37% claim they even went on to volunteer for the specific organisation that the influencer had promoted.
“This is an exciting time for charities and influencers alike,” notes Justin Byard, CEO and founder of Fanrush, a Barcelona-startup that is building tools to better connect influencers with their fans. “We’re seeing more and more influencers align themselves with values and building meaningful communities around these values, that are helping to raise awareness for a multitude of charitable causes. At Fanrush, we believe this new type of influencer is the future for charities and non-profit organisations – and the end of the selfie-taking stereotype that has plagued thought leaders on social media for some time.”
Spearheading Change
Pioneering the new class of altruistic influencer are thought leaders on Instagram that are spreading the word on specific issues and raising awareness for philanthropic causes around the world. “My background is in fundraising (I’ve helped raise money for non-profit organizations and charities) and felt like I wanted to do more on the front lines. I’ve always enjoyed travelling and helping others so I decided to marry the two passions (travel + Philanthropy) thus Travelanthropy was born!”, says Anna Kim, another travel influencer.
In times like these, when social change is needed but charities struggle to engage, influencers are helping to raise millions of dollars from communities all around the world. The new wave of altruistic influencers is encouraging more aspiring thought leaders to put down the selfie stick and create meaningful ways of inspiring positive changes.
If you are interested in learning more about these altruistic influencers here is a list of a few that have already helped different charities around the world:

Time Capsule Opening May 8th 1985 - 2000
Janeal
Written by Loralyn Hansen
Of course, you have been waiting and waiting to hear about our Time capsule trip. In a nut shell, it was everything we thought it would be. We took it slow, did a little every day. (there were two time capsules about 9" in diameter and 17" tall, and an additional box approximately 4 x 12 x 17 or so) I couldn't Believe how much stuff my dad had crammed into those things!
The first day, we just hung around and settled in. Each family had their own unit, (I don't know how much you know about Mom's time share... but It is the same place that Mike and I stayed on our honeymoon. Each unit is an upstairs/downstairs, 2 1/2 bath, 2 bedroom (one master bedroom, and one bedroom with two bunkbed sets) full kitchen, TV, VCR, Fireplace... has a bed downstairs... you know, the kind that pushes up into the wall... one min, living room... next min... pull down the wall, and there's queen size bed. ) Each unit can comfortably sleep 8 people. Mom stayed with Tim in his unit.
After everyone got there... We just chatted and it was very relaxed. The whole week, we each pitched in and had all dinners together... one unit was in charge of the menu for each dinner.... but everyone was very cooperative in helping to cook and clean up. and some Breakfasts were together, Jen made pancakes one morning, and I made crêpes another morning... Lunches were usually separate... but I think we had one together and of course we had a picnic in SLC for another... (we went and saw that new film at the IMAX where Legacy was. In the Joseph Smith Building. The new film was Incredible!!! after it was done, no one moved! )
Anyway.... I am getting the days all mixed up.... Then the next day... we opened the capsules and box and quickly glanced through it all, and passed out individual letters etc... after pictures and "quickly" glancing through everything, without opening sealed envelopes... it was exhausting enough to do that... so we watched the video that we put together and called it a night... It was tough to see dad again. kinda a bitter sweet. of course there was not a dry eye. Jen, had told me on the first day, while we were doing dinner, that she and Tim had several discussions over this week. I was sure that the rest of us did as well. I know, because Mike and I had discussed it quite a bit too... as to what to expect, and what would be expected of us as far as repacking the time capsule... etc... Jen, and Mike were not involved with the family at all when this was put together, and they were expecting to casually go along with the ride. We planned to repack the Time capsule again for the next 15 years... and none of us were really ready for that... Mom seemed to have her moments of sadness, and regret...(as was expected) but on the most part, she held together really well.
The next day, we went through the kids letters... and read them all to them. Marsha's letters were very nice, and she had gotten each of us a little gift that she felt would grab a smile from us. And they did. She got me some neat earrings from the store she was working at at the time. I remember looking eyeing them, I had no idea that she had gotten them for me. That was fun. I cant remember what she got for the others... I know that She had also drawn pictures of each of us as she saw us. It was neat! I had forgotten that Marsha could draw like that. :) Tim didn't write to his kids... I don't think... My letters to the kids, ( wrote two... one to "the girls" and one to "the boys") Aside from atrocious spelling... I could not get through them without crying... the kids were sitting on my lap as I red them to them... and they were quite long too.
The general feel of the letters were that of hopes that I am a good mom in my imperfections and my hopes that I can teach them inspite of my mistakes. and how much I already loved them and looked forward to having them in my life and anxious for the lessons that they will teach me... anyway... along that kind of thing... I looked up as I was reading... (through my tears....) I saw that Jen had tears streaming down her cheeks... and so did Marsha and Mom... that startled me.... of course made it worse.... :) and then, in the middle of all that.... the video tape quit! lol what a time to have to stop and change the Video tape! ( we were taping this whole ordeal) Then we handed out the letters from Dad... (Grandpa) to all the grand kids.
He had put together little packets of coins for the boys and gold chains for the girls. and he had a card for each of the Grandkids... When we put this together 15 years earlier... the only grandkids he had was Crystal and Derek. It was amazing to me that he had exactly the right amount of cards for the grandkids. And they were age appropriate and gender appropriate. He had organized them in order of who's birthday was next in the year. for example, the card that Clorisa got had yellow flowers all over it and he called her his special little sunshine. And that is what she was to him. And it was Kevin's or Bryces, that had sail boats on the card... anyway. his words to each of the kids were soooo appropriate. (you would have to watch the Video to fully understand.)
That was enough for that day... ( I think that was Monday) and then on Tuesday, that was when we took all of our letters to eachother.... the Adults THAT was a tough day too! We read our letters to Dad then too. Very nice letters. Even Tim, who was only 14 at the time, his letters were quite nice. I was a bit embarrassed that my letter to him was a bit more instructional and protective than anything else... And I was really worried what my letter to "my future hubby" would contain. As I wrote this in the middle of my "rebellious" years I sat glued as Mike read the letter out loud. My hands got all sweaty.... much to my surprise... It was a very nice, appropriate letter. :: big sigh!!! ::
Mom's letters to each of us, were very motherly like and sweet. And expressed appreciation for each of us and included little tidbits of why we were important to her. The next day, (would have been Wednesday) during the day, was more of a kickback... kids went swimming, Adults went bike ridding... or was that Tuesday morning??? not sure... but they snuck in a bike ride one of those days...
That afternoon was when we opened the letter from Dad. He wrote to all of us in the same letter... and of course, he had a copy for everyone... 45 some odd pages, (in his writing! ) Each person had about 8 pages designated to them. Of course he had to embarrass each of us... it was very much a bitter sweet day. Mostly sweet. Included in Dads packet to us was some stocks... of course that's my dad. Not a lot of money... but enough to pay for the trip and have plenty left over for goodies, and a trip to the LDS book store! :) for each of us. ( our family got a total of about $1500. ) And each family was about that. So actually it was quite a bit... but Dad was hopping that it was gonna be a lot more. One of the stocks ended up being a dead stock. And another one lost money. But, hey! I'm not complaining) After we read the letters, We listened to the tape that he had put together. He sang Ol' Man River, and You'll Never Walk Alone! That was hard to listen to!
After listening to the tape, We all sat around and Mom wanted a recap on what had transpired. She went around the room... and asked everyone... I could not think of a thing to say... I felt it was more than what I could express and I couldn't think of anything to say. Jen, with tears streaming down her cheeks, said that this whole thing was so amazing. and she could now see the importance of it. She had referred to Dads letter as Family scripture. I felt that it was a very appropriate way to look at what had transpired and what had been written. And then, to top it all off... We looked out the window... and EVERYTHING WAS WHITE!!!! It SNOWED!!! A LOT! And it snowed for the next couple of days! I listened to the weather report and they were just as shocked as we were... in fact, the only place it was snowing in the whole state was were we were. SLC didn't even get any snow. And neither did Henifer, 25 miles away. Now, you tell me YOUR opinion??? Coincidence??? Anyway... we had quite a snow ball fight the next day!!! It was a lot of fun! The kids were sooooo amazed. And for weeks after that... Jeremy wanted to go back to the "Brown house with the snow" we were NOT prepared for SNOW! lol The kids went through every pair of socks they had to use as gloves. And no matter how much their hands burned, they wanted to play more!!! Back in... warm up your hands... back out again... ( kids couldn't understand why we used cold water to warm up their hands! lol)
That was Thursday Morning... The time capsule was all done, (no one was ready to restuff it so we are gonna do that at Thanksgiving) and Richard had to catch a plane that night to go back home, (he had some meeting that he had to be at.) So we decided, after a bit of pulling and gnashing of teeth, (we were all playing games, and no one wanted to make a decision. and no one wanted to drive down the mountain because of the snow... (it snowed A LOT... enough to make a rather LARGE snowman... as big as Tim... BTW, it was still snowing, it snowed all day on Thursday.) But we did want to go see the new movie too. "The Testament" So we decided to go ahead and go down... we packed a picnic lunch and headed down... (the long way around) :: already told you about the movie :: it was fabulous!!! And then we had a picnic... It was FREEZING!!! although, no snow in SLC it was still very cold!
Anyway... Marsha got Richard off, and the rest of us went back up to East Canyon. The rest of the time was spent watching movies, playing games, Kids went swimming, and cleaning and packing back up. Ohhhh I forgot one thing... Tuesday morning, I think it was... Bryce was downstairs watching TV or something, I had just gotten out of the shower...and I had put on my night gown. this particular one has a lacy 1/2 a bodice, basically just the shoulders and below the neck and the rest is just a bunch of loose material. a couple of layers... silky and light pink.... I tell you this because it is pertinent .... anyway... ohh... I had put on a little make up too... very little.... I needed something from downstairs and went down to get it... Bryce looked up at me and smiled, and very quietly and innocently, he said, " wow, you look like you just fell from a star" I melted!!! (did I tell you that story already??? lol) Anyway.... Saturday, After we got all cleaned up, and packed... we went to the Lion House for lunch. and then we all went on our way. It was a very nice trip! There you have it... :)
Now.... here we sit, after having the kids live with us for about 6 weeks, the Wedding shower, Marsha's move, the Wedding Tea (that was so much fun!) and The Sealing and the company that goes with it, Fourth of July, the reception ( We made 80 chair covers, and I did a 6 tear cake, and 100 or more bows), and then the present opening, my History Class, The 106 temp. and no AC! The wedding cleanup, the keeping the kids from being board...
The moving Crystal and Brandon, The dinners.... The Renaissance RS dinner.... I had to make a costume for Mike and me ( I ended up using one of Marsha's dresses that she hadn't packed up) The getting ready to buy a house. Going back to work... let alone Scouts, Piano lessons, Achievement days, house hunting, RS Secretary stuff, Choir stuff... Jeremy's school, I worked part time as a sub interpreter for summer school as well, All in two months! lol Anyway... that is where I am at now... Crystal and Brandon are now in Ohio. I packed up his car for their trip across.... CRAZYNESS!!! they had everything in boxes. and creates... I took everything out of them and put the contents in "knooks and crannies" (they only have a little Celica) and they wanted all kinds of things handy for their 5 day trip. I don't blame them... but getting all that stuff in the car and have 1/2 of it accessible??? what a trick! And in 102 temp. no less... Anyway... after a bunch of tears.... They were off!

A Piece of Paradise, LLC v. Borough of Fenwick Zoning Board of Appeals
Filing Date: 2013
Case Categories:
Challenges to adaptation measures
Principal Laws:
Connecticut Coastal Management Act, Connecticut Zoning Laws
Description: Challenge to denial of approvals necessary for development of single-family home on Connecticut coast.
Docket number(s): LNDCV136047679S
Court/Admin Entity: Conn. Super. Ct.
Case Documents:
Action Taken
12/23/2015 Memorandum of Decision Appeal of zoning board determination dismissed. Connecticut Court Upheld Denial of Approvals for Single-Family Home Where Owner Had Not Considered Sea Level Rise. A Connecticut Superior Court rejected a property owner’s challenge to the denial of variances and coastal site plan approval for a single-family home on a parcel in the town of Old Saybrook that was formerly part of a larger parcel containing Katharine Hepburn’s home. Among the reasons cited by the court for upholding the decisions of the Borough of Fenwick Zoning Board of Appeals was the owner’s failure to consider impacts on coastal resources, including impacts of sea level rise. Citing a 2010 report on climate change impacts prepared by a subcommittee to the Governor’s Steering Committee on Climate Change, the court noted that the required review was “underscored by the likely impact on Long Island Sound from rising sea levels—with estimates ranging from twelve to fifty-five inches by the end of the century.”

Dates of Creation
1 cm of textual records
Heinrich A. Reimer was born on February 10, 1850 in Margenau, south Russia to Abraham Jacob Reimer (1813–1884) and Elizabeth Goerzen (1812–1964). He moved with his family in 1863 from Petershagen to Alexanderkrone where the family farmed. The beginning was difficult because the first two years the people experienced crop failure.
In 1866 Heinrich went to Alexandertal where he helped teach school with his old teacher, Heinrich Unruh. In 1867 he began attending the Zentralschule in Halbstadt until September 1868 when he began teaching at an estate in Rosenhof for Mr. Thiessen. Later he taught in Kleefeld where he met, and later married, Gertrude Warkentin on January 6, 1872. Nine children were born to this couple.
In November of 1884 he was elected preacher and ordained in the Neukircher church. In 1885 the family moved to Lichtfelde. In 1879 he bought a small farm back in Kleefeld from a family moving to America. Gertrude died on February 27, 1890. About this time Heinrich accepted a position at the Vladimir Forestry Station as manager.
Upon returning in 1892 he married Margaretha Regehr, who was born to Peter P. Regehr (1828–1913) and Katharina Schellenberg (1827–1887), on March 5, 1862. Margaretha had previously been married to a certain Wiebe. The newlyweds returned to Heinrich’s post as manager. They had six children together. In 1897 Heinrich bought a full farm in the village of Neuschoensee in Sagradovka. The family survived the Great War and ensuing Russian Revolution. Margaretha died on March 12, 1923.
Before the death of his wife, Heinrich had decided to emigrate to Canada. The tickets were obtained and on April 16, 1924 Heinrich and some of his children arrived in Rosthern, Saskatchewan. Heinrich Reimer died on September 15, 1929 in Blumenhof.
The material in this collection was written by Heinrich A. Reimer in 1927. The genealogical register was translated and edited by Neta and Jacob H. Reimer in 1970. The autobiography was translated by Harry Reimer in 1997. All the material was then donated to the Centre in November 1998 by Helen Reimer Bergmann of Virgil, Ontario.
The material in this collection consists of an autobiographical account of Heinrich A. Reimer and a genealogical register.

Nice Guy DJ Copp Gets A Reward
There have been few stories more interesting than the continuing fan reaction to Bobby Labonte pit crew member DJ Copp.
Added originally to NASCAR Now for tips on pit stops, his plain and simple style of presenting NASCAR issues to TV viewers caught-on immediately. Copp has outlasted two show hosts and one studio analyst on the ESPN2 TV series already.
Copp has worked for several teams during his career including Ultra Motorsports, Roush Racing, DEI and now Petty Racing. A recent profile on the Internet says his most memorable racing experience was winning street stock races at Canandaigua Speedway in New York. It also says he is a New England Patriot fan.
Last season on NASCAR Now saw Copp brought into the studio to add commentary. That experiment went very well. This year, fans have seen him return to add expanded features and to carry a live camera and microphone on pit road during races. Some of his conversations speaking to the fans during pit stops have been memorable.
Now, on the final week of racing before ESPN steps back into the Sprint Cup Series, Copp is getting another opportunity. On Saturday night from Gateway International Speedway near St. Louis, Copp will be filling-in for the vacationing Tim Brewer in the Tech Center.
Copp began as a fabricator with Ultra Motorsports and works in the auto body business in North Carolina during the week. His perspective on issues associated with racing at Gateway should be very interesting.
Viewers may see Copp during final practice coverage on Friday night at 7PM ET and during qualifying on Saturday at 5PM. With Allen Bestwick also on vacation, it will be Dr. Jerry Punch hosting the pre-race show from the broadcast booth. Look for Copp to contribute in that program as well.
With all of the high-priced on-air talent and big names swirling around ESPN's coverage of the sport, it is nice to know that a 30 year-old guy from Ontario, NY who just loves NASCAR can make his way onto national TV and be successful.

ESPN Adds Another Sprint Cup Owner
Just when we thought the silly season was limited to drivers, it was ESPN's own Brad Daugherty who announced he was going to be joining the ranks of Sprint Cup Series owners.
Appearing on the Tuesday edition of NASCAR Now, host Ryan Burr introduced Daugherty and his 2009 Sprint Cup driver Marcos Ambrose. Daugherty has partnered with the JTG team to create a new racing entity that will campaign in the Sprint Cup Series full-time next season.
Burr spoke with Ambrose and Daugherty and touched on all the points of the deal. Originally, Daugherty was rumored to be entering the Craftsman Truck Series. Now, the news has come that JTG-Daugherty racing will be moving up to the big time.
Starting as a single car team, it should be interesting to see how Daugherty progresses. Burr did a good job of pinning Daugherty down on exactly why he got into a situation like this. Daugherty was not shy in mentioning that it was ESPN and his exposure that helped to keep his NASCAR profile high and enable this type of deal.
Burr turned to Andy Petree to ask about what being an owner will bring to Daugherty at ESPN. "Credibility" was the response. Petree is not one to mince words and as a former owner Petree could speak to the subject.
As for Ambrose, Petree said there is going to be a pretty steep learning curve for the Aussie. It was a diplomatic response, but it seemed that Petree was a bit surprised that Ambrose had come along as a part of the deal. Perhaps, fans will remember that thought for next season.
Burr continued the show with a good interview with media-friendly Joey Logano. Still very young in many ways, it is nice to see a fresh face being promoted as the future of the sport. Burr tried to ask his sophisticated and news-oriented questions, but ultimately Logano is a teenager and this adult approach did not work.
The entire purpose of Logano being on the show was Burr having the ability to ask about the Home Depot car in 2009. "Do you think you are ready?" asked Burr. "I think I am ready," said Logano. It is times like this that the naive side of the NASCAR Now crew comes out. Every driver is ready for the opportunity of a lifetime.
It was nice of ESPN to give a slot to the Kyle Petty charity motorcycle ride. Even nicer was to hear the mellow voice of Harry Gant calling-in by phone from the tour stop in Lexington, KY. Gant showed once again the "old school" NASCAR style that is sorely missed in the sport today.
There is no doubt that once the Daugherty news gets a bit older reaction will begin. Along with Ray Evernham and Rusty Wallace, ESPN now has three active owners with teams in either the Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series on staff. Whether he likes it or not, whatever Brad Daugherty says on-the-air from now on will be run through a very different "filter" by viewers.

New Contraflow Bike Lane connects you through Kensington Market
Posted on November 13, 2017 by dandy
The new contraflow lanes through Kensington Market connect cyclists to the College Street lane in the north and the Richmond/Adelaide cycle tracks in the south (sort of.)
Contraflow lanes come to Kensington
by Ali McKellar
More good news for Toronto cyclists: There's a new bike lane in Kensington Market. The contraflow lane, which runs northbound on Denison Avenue and Bellevue Avenue between Queen and College Streets, provides an important north-south connection for cyclists in the core and represents another step forward in building the City’s Cycling Network Plan. The majority of the route is a 2 metre wide painted lane separating cyclists from southbound traffic, however some sections of the route are marked by sharrows.
As a west-end dweller and commuter, I was pleased to ride the new bike lane, especially heading north on Denison at Dundas Street. Many cyclists, myself included, often continue to ride north through this one-way southbound street in order to get to Kensington Market, or continue north to the College Street bike lane.
Unfortunately, not everything about this new lane is sunshine and rainbows. The section north of Dundas is a hotbed for cars parked in the bike lane - especially U-haul’s belonging to the rental agency on the corner. Despite numerous tickets on the windshield, there seems to be no sign of the trucks moving anytime soon. Where is TPS parking pal when you need him? Despite these parking infractions, most cars were courteous and slowed to allow me to continue my route north in the oncoming car lane.
Continuing north, the contraflow lane follows Bellevue Avenue up to College Street, where there is no stop light, and none likely to come. This may provide for a tough left turn for many riders, crossing four lanes of car traffic in order to safely reach the westbound bike lane. Luckily, there is a stop light one street directly to the west (and east), which will allow for a more comfortable crossing at busy times of the day.
Local resident Lisa Logan said she doesn't think the sharrows are all that bad. "Who knew the city cared?? Well, they do, I guess. And literally a day into it, I saw people riding. Build it and they will ride! Those types of markings make a big difference, as cyclists will often ride routes easy for them regardless of a one way st and this certainly makes it safer," she said, "And the markings encourage car drivers to slow down in their confusion of the new infrastructure. Why wouldn't one typically slow down on a street busy with pedestrians, cyclists, school kids, buses, a fire station, etc.? This new lane adds to the complete street and it works. Looking forward to more 'surprises' that encourage and support complete streets."
Every-day cyclist and Cycle Toronto volunteer, Robert Zaichkowski said, "I feel it's a great way to connect College Street to the Richmond-Adelaide cycle tracks via Kensington Market with good use of wayfinding sharrows where the gaps are. However, I do feel there needs to be improved wayfinding for those getting to Kensington Market from the Richmond-Adelaide cycle tracks."
Still, I believe the Denison/Bellevue contraflow lane marks an important north-south connection (one that took many years to become a reality) that takes riders through one of Toronto’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, and continues to build upon the City’s Cycling Network Plan. After the success of the Bloor Street bike lanes at council this week, things are looking up for cycling in the city.
At College. Sharrows help guide cyclists and remind motorists that bikes will be using this route.
The yellow stripe means 'don't cross' and is used for contraflow bike lanes.
More sharrows toward Dundas.
"Bicycles Excepted."
Parking in bike lanes in Toronto is an issue wherever you go.

I've blogged before about Almost Famous, Cameron Crowe's rose-colored-glasses romanticization of his own adolescence (adorably tongue-tied, hence cute adolescent rock-critic-wannabe stows away with early '70s American "guitar band" and eventually lands both an interview, and a cover story, for Rolling Stone), and about the greatness of Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of the more Morrison-than-Jim-Morrison Lester Bangs (and the sadness of Lester's life) and of the heart-shattering beauty of Lester's writing, and it's true that Hoffman is, as so often, the best part of the movie by several orders of magnitude.
But here's another little nugget, the other best part of the film:
when Patrick Fugit's "William Miller" (Crowe's fantasy of himself) finally lands the long-delayed interview with Billy Crudup's lead-guitar-hero Russell Hammond, and they sit down with the Wollensack cassette recorder, and "William" shoves the mic into "Russell"'s face, and says
William Miller: So Russell... what do you love about music?
Russell Hammond: To begin with?
......everything.
That about says it for me, too.

Pat and the Orchestrion
He's a very, very weird dude--even for a jazz guy--and to call the music he makes with the "Orchestrion" (essentially a giant one-man-band) "jazz" is a misnomer: you gotta have other live musicians for it to be jazz, in my opinion.
But if the final arbiter of good music is not the ideas about it, but simply whether it sounds good (Ellington said that, "if it sounds good, it is good"), then this is good music.
I also kinda dig the fact that he references the previous American-lunatic player-piano people--most notably Conlon Nancarrow. Somehow it's suitable that a jazz guitarist from Missouri would be falling into this bag.
And it's nice to hear the shout-out for the "World's Greatest Guitar Guy", Mark Herbert. He worked on my guitars, too...and he really is the world's greatest.
Weather event
Lashing wind and driving rain on the South Plains.
You live here long enough, even if you're a DamnYankee, you start to understand how ranchers felt about weather. And you celebrate when there's water.
Two heroes
If only just maybe I could live up to these men:
Gary Snyder, in his "For All," surely one of the most fiercely joyful and inspiring nature poems, an ode to the North America that indigenous peoples called "Turtle Island," ever written:
Ah to be alive
on a mid-September morn
fording a stream
barefoot, pants rolled up,
holding boots, pack on,
sunshine, ice in the shallows,
northern rockies.
Rustle and shimmer of icy creek waters
stones turn underfoot, small and hard as toes
cold nose dripping
singing inside
creek music, heart music,
smell of sun on gravel.
I pledge allegiance to the soil
of Turtle Island,
and to the beings who thereon dwell
one ecosystem
in diversity
With joyful interpenetration for all.
John Steinbeck, in the opening of Cannery Row, when he describes "Mack and the Boys" who will be the Greek chorus for his comic fable about his own past, and paean to his departed friend Ed Ricketts:
What can it profit a man to gain the whole world and to come to his property with a gastric ulcer, a blown prostate, and bifocals? Mack and the boys avoid the trap, walk around the poison, step over the noose while a generation of trapped, poisoned, and trussed-up men scream at them and call them no-goods, come-to-bad-ends, blots-on-the-town, thieves, rascals, bums. Our Father who art in nature, who has given the gift of survival to the coyote, the common brown rat, the English sparrow, the house fly and the moth, must have a great and overwhelming love for no-goods and blots-on-the-town and bums, and Mack and the boys. Virtues and graces and laziness and zest. Our Father who art in nature.
Gassho.

The positive energy of discomfort
Am starting a new practice in the new year. Not necessarily as part of a "resolution"--pragmatically, because such resolutions, for me, never outlast the year, and philosophically, because every day should be the "new resolution" day: why wait until the day after December 31, as who knows what tomorrow will bring?
But more because I'm just so sick of a lifestyle that almost always builds and almost never relieves stress. There are a few things that help: cooking for other people, hanging with the guest artists and old friends we can occasionally shanghai into visiting, exercise when I'm being smart and taking care of myself, drinking too much booze when I'm not. But, mostly, I'm building up endless arrays of stress and only sporadically finding appropriate ways of dissipating it.
So I get to the Student Rec Center, where the faculty membership rates are fantastically cheap and where there are literally dozens if not hundreds of ellipticals, weight machines, and free weights. And I put up with the clinical environment and the blasting, dumb-ass frat-rock or mind-numbing talk shows on the sound system.
But it gets just too toxic for me between January and March of the school year, because that of course is when all the little Tylers and Buffy's are cutting classes so they can power-jam in the gym and try to develop enough of a beach bod that they can show off during Spring Break. Most of them are thinking about showing off and getting laid, and between January and February that's all they think about--certainly not classes or other responsibilities.
My experience of physical training is different: I hated the ethos of team sports and, despite being recruited relentlessly in junior high and high school for football (the doctor who delivered me had apparently said "there's my fullback!"), I avoided high school football coaches like the fucking plague. Not a bad decision, in hindsight: there is no way I could have put up with their small-minded hectoring.
No, what little physical training I got regularly as an adolescent and adult (my family were bookworms, not jocks--only my wired-for-sound elder brother was interested in physical activity, and at 6'3" and 145 pounds, there weren't many sports that wanted him) were more solitary--or more serious. I could never get excited about team sports, even when I admired the physical capacities of people who could make them work at a high level.
On the other hand, I was always interested in the combat arts. Team sports, particularly those that were riddled, by the high school coaches, with militaristic imagery and fakery (football the worst culprit, there), just seemed like a macho sublimation. This was brought home to me in the 4 years or so when I studied closely and hard with a man who was a wonderful, focused, patient, gentle teacher--but a very frightening man: a tattooed ex-biker, who'd barely escaped the Bandidos with his life (four nights on top of his house with an M-16, that kind of thing)., who'd broken his back twice and kept himself ambulatory through 3 hours or more a day of chi kung (internal medicine), suffered--in my non-clinician's opinion--from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder--and lived in an old schoolbus in the woods because he couldn't quite deal with people. He never, ever lost his temper with a student, women & kids studied with him fearlessly, and he would do absolutely anything for his students. He just couldn't quite deal with the world. But I loved him and admired him.
When we moved here, and the local pesticides and herbicides pretty much destroyed my thyroid, it became apparent that I was going to have to do something to counter the effect of the atmosphere, and of 16 hours a day at a computer. So I lifted, or slogged on the elliptical, or both, and tried to keep at bay my distaste for the environments, both physical and adolescent, in which college people usually get to engage in such activities. I've got on-campus colleagues who consciously employ the off-campus YMCA or something similar, just exactly for that purpose, but I'm not quite ready for the "soft-impact" aerobics in the pool with the old folks. Probably my absolute favorite physical activity, the one that made me feel most centered, that balanced the internal-health and external-combat aspects of physical training most perfectly for me, is the incredible wealth of the Daoist traditions of Bagua Zhang, the Eight-Sided Star, the endless, circling, flowing Northern Chinese form. But there's no one here who teaches it, and I don't have the skills or insight to study on my own.
So when Dharmonia came to me, just before the new year, and mentioned that the yoga studio, where she--and a sizable portion of our students--either study or teach, was starting an "absolute beginner's" round of classes, I overcame my busted-out knees ass-kicking former martial artist's "disdain" for the practice and thought "fuck it: I'm getting to where I can barely bend over to put on my socks, and I do NOT want to be a crippled-up old man riding a motorized scooter through the goddamned grocery store" and let her sign me up.
Interesting experience. I've blogged before about the difficulty that adult learners have with starting in a musical practice in which they have to be rank beginners, about the difficulty they have with that, with being patient, with accepting a learning method other than the one at which they are accomplished--and about my convictions that this is a good lesson. I've even blogged before about my own experience of what Suzuki-Roshi called "beginner's mind", the challenging--but full-of-possibilities--place in which you know that you don't know anything. And I'm not unfamiliar with the psychological dynamics of the situation myself: I've learned new skills at which I was a rank beginner, repeatedly, and hope always to continue doing this, because it's such a good lesson for me, as a teacher, to be reminded of what it feels like to be a beginner.
So I'm a lot less likely than formerly to be tossed away with the self-consciousness, self-loathing, timidity, and desire to flee that comes from sitting down in a yoga class with a group of 11 others who are younger, fitter, thinner, and (visibly, anyway) comparatively unfrightened. When I realize belatedly that, unintentionally and undesirably, I've chosen a space for the mat, not at the back of the room as I'd intended, but in the front, directly opposite the teacher's seat. When I can't sit cross-legged on the floor for more than 10 minutes without pain in those busted-up knees.
I've actually learned just to observe those reactions: I'm not going to be able to squelch them, but--I've learned--I also don't have to act on them. I just have to sit with the (physical and psychological) discomfort. At one point the teacher says "you should all be able to find a Simple Seat [e.g., rest posture on the floor] in which you're comfortable," and in fact there is no "Simple Seat" that's particularly comfortable for me--the knees are too bad, the hips too tight. And she looks at me, and says "are you finding something comfortable?" and, putting aside all the self-consciousness that the monkey-mind wants me to impose upon the situation, I think for a moment and then say, "well, I can be patient" and leave it at that.
And the teacher smiles, and says, "that's a good answer," and the class goes on. And I still can't sit in a comfortable "Simple Seat", but I've done other hard and physically painful things like this before and they haven't done me any permanent damage, and I know that pain is as temporary as anything else.
And the class goes on, and there's pretty constant discomfort (physical and psychological), but my comfort or discomfort is neither central to the class, nor to my own experience. And at the end of the class, leaving the room, I turn in the doorway and bow to the room, because that's how I was taught to exit the dojo and because, although this is a Hindi not a Sino-Japanese tradition, it feels appropriate to recognize the sacredness of the space.
So I leave the yoga center, and head home, feeling resigned to feeling pretty old, and out-of-shape. But also that I recognize this situation: that I'm old enough that far fewer situations feel unfamiliar and, with a little bit of self-awareness and patience, I can wait-out the initial discomfort of this one too.
It's only afterwards, when Dharmonia comes back from her own (far more advanced) class, that she says "boy, do those yoginis like YOU! The teacher said 'he's great! He sits there, right in front; he does what he's told; he answers right away! He's great!'"
And of course, it's all an accident: the accident of sitting in the front row, the accident of the decades-old practice with my forest-hermit teacher, the accident of--again and again--meeting the right people and the right situations just, and when, I needed to. And, once more, I thank my teachers, and my past, and all beings in the Ten Directions.
For the discomfort, and the resultant possibilities, of this present moment.
A class act
Tonight I'll be lifting a glass of sippin' whiskey on behalf of one old man who never gave up and never lost his sense of the fun of the game.
Thanks, Favre.
Cold weather teams, baby. Old men.
...in the woods?
Some days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.
Some days you feel like you're making progress, slowly slowly incrementally moving your own corner of the universe just the slightest couple of degrees in the right direction, as Gary Snyder would say.
And some days you feel like you're fucking treading water, just barely keeping ahead of the meltdowns, forest fires, SOS's, and just plain silly-ass behavior from people who oughta know better.
Oh, and by the way? Massachusetts fucking knew better in 1972. "I'm from Massachusetts, don't blame me", remember that?
But, as one of Dharmonia's Buddhist teachers put it, results are not the goal. The effort, the right action, the right intention, that is the goal.
"You have to show up for the impossible."
We lost Spenser. And Kate.
I had my beefs with Parker: he was particularly prone to the fiction author's tendency to mythologize him- (usually "him") or herself in his prose--Spenser the detective is a kind of mid-life-crisis fantasy of machismo--and his particular neuroses and prejudices come off both the prose, and his personality, in waves. He had a childish resentment toward college professors and feminists and he thought that anybody who even spoke to his wife (the archetype of the equally mythologized Spenser love interest Susan Silverman) was hitting on her.
But I'll give the man two things: he had an absolutely hellacious work ethic--seventy books?!?--and he was capable of learning things: when his sons were hitting adolescence, he wrote-into the saga an adolescent orphan who Spenser could begin to deal with in a paternal way, and then when they both came out as gay, he wrote-into the saga a weight-lifting ex-cop, "queer as a three-dollar bill," who becomes another loyal Spenser sidekick.
In fact, that's kind of what Parker did: he worked-out/wrote-out all the ways he wanted his life to go. It's probably not too much of a reach to say that he wrote his way into the life he sought. He didn't really suffer very much in his life, and there's no doubt that Spenser was Parker's own wish-fulfillment, and he sure wrote a lot of books, later on, that were transparently screenplays which he dashed-off in order to generate the bucks from Hollywood advances. But by god he worked.
I'm sorry he's gone.
Quick hit: watershed texts
Long day (looks like there are going to be a lot more of those this semester), so I'll punt with a quick hit.
The Sarge was telling me recently that she'd come into a few bucks--thank the Universe for student loans!--and was looking for a few reading recommendations. Well, all you gotta do with a musicologist is ask one question--it's like offering John Belushi one free drink--and you'll as much as or far more than you asked for.
Here's a selection of what I offered:
Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, Shinryu Suzuki-Roshi
Suzuki-Roshi was the man, probably more than any other, who caused Zen to take root in 1960s America. Not to take away from any of the other great Buddhas who held the lotus to the rock--but, if "by their fruits do we know them," then Suzuki-Roshi's lineage of students is a staggering confirmation of the lasting value of his teaching.
Long Quiet Highway, Natalie Goldberg
I'm not a huge fan of everything Goldberg has written, and the last three books feel like she's kind of running on fumes (or recycling things she's said earlier, and more eloquently), but this one--a parallel biography of her life, as it led to her becoming a writer, and a Buddhist--and the earlier Writing Down the Bones are both astonishing testaments to her own commitment, and to the great Buddha-hood of her teacher, Dainin Katagiri. And more evidence of the power of the lineage: Katagiri was Suzuki's assistant. And Highway contains possibly the most beautiful, heartfelt tribute to a teacher--a subject close to my heart--I've ever read.
Ax Handles, Gary Snyder
Gary Snyder is probably the most important influence on my life and poetry I can think of. He's not a perfect writer or perfect person, but as poet, activist, Buddhist, and teacher, he sets a model I hope someday to live up to. This collection was written after he returned from Japan, homesteaded in the Sierras, started a family, and began to think in ten-thousand-year cycles.
Dharma Bums, Jack Kerouac
Poor, poor Jack. He had a vision of what freedom could be, he had the huge blessing (and the admiration) of friends like Ginsberg and Snyder, he had an outsized talent and an absolutely staggering dedication to his craft, but, as Goldberg says, he didn't have a daily practice in which to ground his insights. And he died. This book is his tribute to what he saw, in Ginsberg ("Alvah Goldbook") and Snyder ("Japhy Ryder"--Kerouac was absolutely awful at fictionalizing names for his roman-a-clef characters), and what he wished/hoped he could find in himself. It's tragic that he never did--but in this book, he captures, more beautifully, and with an unwittingly elegiac tone, what we found in them as well.
Cold Mountain, Han Shan (Snyder or Watson translation)
The poets of the Tang dynasty are simply unmatched. There is simply nothing to compare. Han Shan, and his friend Shih Teh, are two jokers who live on "Cold Mountain," and spend most of their time telling stories, playing practical jokes, mocking the pomposity of pretty much the rest of the world. No other poetry has ever touched me like this.
The Seven-Story Mountain, Thomas Merton
I think that it is probably realistic to say that, by any quasi-objective metric (and leaving aside the politicking of the current pope, a Prada-wearing former Hitler Youth who was formerly the Vatican's hatchet man), Thomas Merton was a saint. Poet, prosodist, peace activist, cheese-maker, priest, painter; killed in a freak "accident" in Asia in 1968. He was a saint in the tradition of Francis of Assisi and a great Buddha. And maybe the almost-last chance for the Catholic church to recover what the Desert Fathers first found.
Start Where You Are, Pema Chodron
Senior student of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the hugely-difficult and hugely-important "crazy wisdom" master of the Tibetan Nyingma and Kagyu lineages; founder of Naropa Institute--where my Dharma-brother Dr Masbrow is currently hitting "reset". Chodron is a hugely influential, imaginative, compassionate, and insightful teacher and writer, and exemplar of the "wisdom of no escape." Abbess of a Trungpa monastery in Nova Scotia, the clarity of her voice, the calm of her insight, the sanity of her teaching, are one of the last resources we've got in this terminal world of Samsara.
The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen
One of the first and surely one of the most influential Buddhist books I ever encountered. Matthiessen, an author, naturalist, deep-sea diver, and film-maker (he wrote the screenplay for Blue Water, White Death), nursed his wife until her death from cancer, and then left for Nepal, where he trekked mountains, said mantras, and never found the snow leopard. And he closes by quoting a dialog:
"'Have you seen the snow leopard?' 'No--isn't that wonderful?'"
And so, of course, it is.
Up on the resumption tip
Resuming regular blogging, as we enter the first full week of the Spring 2010 semester. I anticipate that I'll drop-in occasional posts of the "In the Trenches" variety, but after 160+ entries, and a full two years/four semesters rotation, that topic feels to be reasonably well-covered. I expect I'll be using the Trenches series more for my own reference--akin to pulling out a last-year's handwritten journal, leafing through the the posts for inspiration or self-correction.
Would be nice to pick up again on the "100 Greats" series: we had the Reverend Colonel & consort with us this weekend, and he was kind enough to express that he missed 'em. I'd like to tidily complete that project: means I need another thirty.
Spring semester usually means a little less traveling, but a dizzying succession of events: Winter concert by the Celtic Ensemble of the "Hard" program on Jan 31; mid-February means the state Music Educators Association meetings in San Antonio; between Feb 15 and Mar 15 the general undergrad population is witless and stupid with testosterone/estrogen poisoning in anticipation of Spring Break, but before that we're hosting these Desperate Gentlemen (god bless my boss's generosity); April brings the sprint toward end-of-semester and is interrupted, right at the Ides of April/Tax Day, with the VMC festival weekend (Friday dance concert & Mr Darcy, Saturday afternoon picnic/festival, Sunday evening Celtic Ensemble "Big" program).
And then the semester's over, and I spend a week at U Limerick hearing recitals, and then Dharmonia shows up with the Ireland seminar kids for two weeks, and then I think I'm going up to Derry for a conference, and then it's Zoukfest, and then Mystic, and then Amsterdam, and on and on and on.
I have a great life, a privileged life, a life I fought for decades to attain and which I work 70 hours a week to create for my students.
But sometimes I get tired. Here's a poem that came out of the unexpected (not unwelcome, just unexpected) extra days in Cork:
River Lee
A sub-zero medieval city,
Leadening cloud,
Cold air damp on the skin;
Grit on the facades of the lowering Edwardian mansions,
And a magnificent sunset of turquoise and bronze;
And, silhouetted against the sky,
Gazing East,
Shrugging insolent shoulders,
The grey-hooded, hunchbacked,
Arrogantly indifferent Irish crows.
--coyote, Corcaigh, mid-winter 2010
Labels: poetry, Trenches series, vernacular culture
...or right on the pig's back.
After 10 days of crazy travel changes, we're back in Day 02 of the new semester. Will resume "In the Trenches," I think, but for the sake of breathing space, and as an appreciative former busker, I'll post this (h/t to Paul W for pointing me to it):
The streets (and the Metro) belong to the people. This video reminds us.
Outside the rotation: up on outta here
One more once, subjecting myself to the stupidity and exploitation of the American airline monopolies: very quick trip to the homeland (depart tomorrow, return Sunday) to serve as External Examiner for the "viva" (Ireland/UK version of the term "defense") for an excellent dissertation on accent and geography in Irish traditional music. Seems a long way and a long time to travel (18 hours out, 3 hours in viva, 18 hours back), but they're paying the freight, so I'll go along and do my best for this young'un. Blogging will be light and from the road, but I'll try to catch a few snaps of Cork.
In the meantime, Richard & Linda Thompson's transcendent re-imagining of Rumi:
Bird in God's Garden
As I said to the Sarge:
I think there is something very powerful there in Rumi and other Mevlevi Sufi poets, and maybe in mystical Islamic poetry as a whole: the awareness that life itself is an admixture of sorrow, which the Sufis attribute to "separation from the Beloved", and of heartbreaking joy, at the possibility/prospect of re-connection with that Beloved. There's a wonderful image somewhere in the Mathnawi, where Rumi says that the soul is like the nay flute, its music the voice of the reed from which it's made crying out for reconnection with the place in which it was grown.
I think the ability to express a clear-eyed awareness of the reality of both sorrow and joy, and of the spiritual effort that can transform the former into the latter, is where art begins.
Labels: music, poetry, vernacular culture
Outside the rotation: no rules
Jools Holland: "The only rule in music is that there are no rules."
Stunning music from Ronnie of Bokete's Shebeen.
You know what I love about this, over and above the jaw-dropping individuality of the technique? The hellacious mbaqanga groove that Ronnie lays down, and the fact that the South African (and Botswanan) word shebeen, signifying a little bar or drinking establishment where music like this was played, is based in the Irish word sibin, meaning "little pot", or "still", or "drinking establishment."
Both colonial populations, both taking the colonizers' instruments and creating their own kind of indigenous beauty.
The Local will never be defeated.
Outside the rotation: LOTR and The Wire
Why storytelling is still at the heart of human culture:
I don't agree with a lot of what Kevin C. Murphy writes, over at Ghost in the Machine, but when I agree with him I really agree with him. And I'm right there with him when he names the two greatest pieces of cinematic storytelling of the previous decade (I have to admit, I really like "The Oughts" as a way to describe it; as in "zero +", but also as in, "here are all the ways we ought to have coped with war criminals, war profiteers, lying Republican sociopaths, global warming, etc.): Lord of the Rings and The Wire, against which everything else just simply pales in comparison.
Of LOTR, he captures my own emotional reaction:
"At its heart, the trilogy isn't so much about wizards and warriors as it is about friendship, the nature of evil, and persevering in dark times."
Which, of course, have been the core themes of all great stories going all the way back to Gilgamesh. Tolkien knew that, and so did Peter Jackson.
As Kevin says, "Step aside, George Lucas." This is real storytelling.
Of The Wire, he captures part of what I've also expressed before:
"Just as Dickens brought industrial corruption and the plight of Victorian London's social underclass to life at the close of the 19th century, The Wire is the piece of journalistic fiction generations one or two hundred years hence will look to to understand the urban landscape of the Oughts. And more likely than not, then as it is now, the game will still be the game."
I'd put it against Dickens, any day. Hell, I'd put it against Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, Woody's "Tom Joad", Andy Irvine's "Forgotten Hero," and the Mahabhrata. And in my personal pantheon, that's as high up the tree as you can get.
Really, go read it all.
"A man got to have a code." Omar Little
And remember that the great stories are those that speak the truth.
Outside the rotation: pome
On the occasion of the 52nd year:
The Western Slope
An autumnal, sunset feeling:
Tipping past the cusp of 50 years.
Life across the mid-point;
Crossing the equator's line;
Time accelerating,
The end approaching,
But a golden, westering light.
--coyote, 2 Jan 2009
Outside the rotation: Day 1 of the new decade
No resolutions on the New Year--because, for me, every day is the obligation to remake my life.
But, surrounded by resolutions from others, admirable and ambitious alike, I'd be less than human if it didn't cause me to reflect.
Every day, make something for someone (a meal, a blog post, a lesson plan, a tune, an arrangement, a friendship);
Every day, teach something to someone (on an instrument, in a rehearsal, in a classroom; about writing, about thinking, about life);
Every day, focus upon the persons in front of me;
Every day, create positive energy;
Every day, fall short. And then stand up and try again;
Every day, do something to take care of my health: old age, encroaching;
Every day, spend a few minutes facing up to death, approaching.
May all beings be saved.

US Congress given green light to seek Trump financial records
AFP , Friday 11 Oct 2019
Ex-Ukraine envoy removed by Trump arrives to testify in impeachment probe
Trump attacks Biden, slams impeachment probe at Minnesota rally
White House spurns House impeachment probe as illegitimate
GOP veterans of Clinton's impeachment urge caution on Trump
Pelosi says public opinion shifting in support of impeachment inquiry against Trump
A federal appeals court on Friday rejected US President Donald Trump's bid to block the release of years of his financial records, inflicting the latest setback in his effort to stop House Democrats gathering evidence for their impeachment inquiry.
In a 2-1 ruling, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit rejected Trump's argument that the House Oversight Committee lacked the authority to issue a subpoena to the president's longtime accounting firm, Mazars.
The decision marked a major victory for Democrats leading wide-ranging congressional investigations into the president's business affairs after he reneged on a campaign promise to release his tax returns.
Democrats are investigating whether Trump inflated the value of assets to obtain loans and in April subpoenaed "statements of financial condition, annual statements, periodic financial reports, and independent auditors' reports prepared, compiled, reviewed or audited by Mazars."
Trump can ask the full DC Circuit to reconsider the three-judge panel's decision, or go straight to the Supreme Court to look at the case.
The White House, which has characterized congressional investigations into the president as "harassment," argued that Congress did not need the information to fulfill its role as legislator.
That stance was dismissed by a Washington judge in May.
"The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the committee, and we affirm," wrote Judge David Tatel in his judgment.
"Contrary to the president's arguments, the committee possesses authority under both the House rules and the constitution to issue the subpoena, and Mazars must comply."
After taking control of the House in January, the Democrats launched numerous investigations into Trump's finances and accusations that he obstructed a federal investigation into his campaign's involvement in Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The White House has stonewalled requests for documents and witnesses, citing "executive privilege."
A federal judge on Monday dismissed Trump's bid to block access to years of his personal and corporate tax returns, saying sitting presidents are not immune from criminal investigations.
Lawyers for Trump immediately appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which issued a temporary stay of the judge's order.
The battle has escalated since the Democrats announced an impeachment probe on September 24, accusing the president of having betrayed his oath of office by lobbying Ukraine to help him smear a political rival.
Democrats have since issued subpoenas targeting the State Department, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
The White House said in an eight page letter Tuesday that it was withholding cooperation with the probe, denouncing it as "partisan and unconstitutional."

Bawumia’s analysis just ‘pedestrian propaganda’ – Ofosu Kwakye
The Deputy Minister of Communications, Felix Ofosu Kwakye has described Dr Mahamadu Bawumia’s analysis on government’s 2016 budget statement, as “hackneyed and pedestrian propaganda.”
Addressing journalists at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) headquarters in Accra from a statement titled “The NPP’s response to the 2016 budget statement, the seven-year record of the NDC and the alternative vision under an NPP government,” Dr Bawumia criticised government’s general performance while placing emphasis on expenditure, interest rates, power crisis among others.On expenditure, Bawumia said the “evidence shows that notwithstanding the massive increase in the debt stock, capital expenditure as a percentage (%) of GDP has actually been on the decline from 9.1% of GDP in 2008 to 4.1% by 2015. Capital expenditure as a percentage of GDP averaged 11% for 2001-2008 (without oil) while that for 2009-2015 has averaged 5.7% (with oil). This means that contrary to all the government claims of an increase in infrastructure expenditure on projects all over the country, the reality is that 50 Ghana’s expenditure on infrastructure relative to GDP is declining.”
“The numbers indicate that relative to GDP, this government is investing about half what the previous government invested in infrastructure. It is in fact a travesty that Ghana before the discovery of oil was spending a higher proportion of its income on infrastructure investment than after the discovery of oil and the massive increase in the debt stock. This decline in investment in infrastructure runs counter to what one would have expected. “
But the Minister in a sharp rebuttal said: “owing to the NPP ‘s appalling record in many sectors, Bawumia seeks solace in a dubious analysis of capital expenditure as a ratio of GDP.”
“It is simple mathematics really…A capital expenditure to GDP ratio of 6% would suggest that the government spent more on capital projects than another whose capex to GDP ratio is say 4%.To the more enlightened they will look at both the quantum of capex and GDP.If your GDP is around GHc 30 billion as it was in 2008 and you spent 1.8 billion on capex you get 6%.Today our GDP is GHc 130 billion and 4% of that is GHc 5.2 billion. Surely Ghc 5.2 billion cannot be smaller than GHc 1.8 billion or?,” he added.
According to him, the highest growth recorded in the history of Ghana has been under the governing NDC government, despite Bawumia’s attempts to tout the economic achievements of the erstwhile Kufuor administration.
“Despite Bawumia’s bluster, the highest ever growth rate recorded in Ghana’s history of 14.4% was recorded under an NDC government. Their highest ever growth rate of 8.4% is still lower that the NDC’s second highest of 8.8%.
“The fact also remains that the longest ever period of sustained single digit inflation of 33 months was recorded under the NDC. Guess what Bawumia and the NPP’s record is; one month of single digit inflation,” Kwakye Ofosu wrote on his Facebook wall.

1. Grants and scholarships
Financial aid — the traditional way of eliminating college costs — is still available. To increase the odds of landing grants and scholarships, Doug Hewitt, co-author of “Free College Resource Book,” advises students to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and then focus on local prizes.
“There are more scholarships you’ll qualify for in your home state than nationally,” says Hewitt. “Look at local organizations and talk to your high school (guidance) counselor.”
And remember to start your search early. You won’t be the only person wondering how to go to college for free and scholarships can be limited to a first come, first served basis. You should also keep in mind that you don’t need to wait for your senior year to start hunting for scholarships. There are grants and awards available at all high school grade levels.
2. Give service to your country
The U.S. Coast Guard, Air Force, Military (West Point), Merchant Marine and Naval academies offer free college opportunities to students who serve after college, but cash is also available through ROTC programs closer to home.
Service requirements for ROTC programs vary, but all require students to complete military training on campus and commit to up to 12 years, depending on the branch of service. Students leave with training, a guaranteed job and opportunities for more free education.
AmeriCorps, a national service organization that offers education awards in exchange for community work, provides an award of up to $5,730 for each full year of service. Maximum years of service vary among AmeriCorps programs. Members also receive a living stipend while serving in the program.
3. Work for the school
Schools charge students tuition, but their employees often can get a free education. “This is a great option, especially for older students with job experience,” says Reyna Gobel, author of “CliffsNotes Graduation Debt.” “If you’re 18, you might not qualify for a job that provides (tuition) benefits.”
Schools typically provide benefits for full-time workers and sometimes require a certain level of experience, Gobel says. Future students can find out about their school’s policy by calling the admissions office.
4. Waive your costs
Some students can get a free pass based on academic performance or other factors.
The North American Council on Adoptable Children in St. Paul, Minnesota, reports that Connecticut, Kentucky, Virginia, Maine, Massachusetts, Texas, Florida and Maryland offer waivers at certain public schools for adopted and foster care children.
Other schools offer waivers for Native American students, senior citizens and dislocated workers. To find out what your school offers, call the financial aid office.
5. Become an apprentice
An apprenticeship is another solid option when you’re determining how to get free tuition. They can also open you up to job opportunities post-college.
Overall, your average apprenticeship program will take 1-6 years. You will probably be required to put in that time along with at least 2,000 hours of field work annually. The good news is that there are apprenticeships in more than 1,000 occupations, which can give you more options.
In exchange, the sponsoring employer pays for college or technical training and provides a salary. A list of available programs is available at the ApprenticeshipUSA website.
6. Have your employer pick up the costs
Another way you might receive a free college education is through your employer. Often given in the form of an employee reimbursement, there are plenty of employers that can help curb the cost of higher education.
7. Be in demand
Another great way to find out how to go to college for free is to determine if your field of study is “high-needs.” Will your studies result in a career that’s high in demand? Ask yourself this before you even enroll if you’re trying to cut the cost of college.
Generally, schools will offer incentives to anyone focusing their studies on math, science, nursing, teaching, and social work. There are also additional opportunities available through organizations like Teach for America, the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program and the National Institutes of Health.
The nursing program at the University of Portland in Oregon has offered scholarships covering approximately 80% of the final 2 years of undergraduate study, if students sign a 3-year employment contract with the local health system, Fabriquer says. “There are similar programs in (high-needs) fields across the country,” he adds.
8. Choose a school that pays you
Last on our list of ways on how to get free tuition, and probably the riskiest. There are, indeed, schools that will pay you to focus your studies in a single subject (which they dictate). Schools such as the Webb Institute and the Curtis Institute of Music offer a select range of academic programs and pick up the tuition cost for every student. Just think long and hard about your decision before you commit to this course.

In a land where the evil Emperor K-os reigns, one girl embarks on a journey to restore order, schedules, and the integrity of math for the people of the land, The Crew. Meet Lindsay. Lindsay was just an average A+ student at Miami University of Ohio double-majoring in communication and interactive media studies, working 2 part time jobs, and playing softball. Until one day, she saw an ad for Miami’s film club… and everything changed. After dipping her toe in as Director of Programming for the region’s first international film festival, she dove in to every film/commercial/doc project available and gradually realized she wasn’t the same as the other kids. Her skills were unlike anything they’d ever seen. She could itemize budgets, locate large crews, color-coordinate spreadsheets, and manipulate a scheduling matrix with the swiftness of a ninja through the shadows. After graduating early, she tried to hide her abilities and disguised herself as a mindless PA at a local news station, but the calling was too strong and the world needed her. In 2010, she headed to LA in search of a challenge. Her pilgrimage took her from freelance PA to Coordinator to Manager, through the realms of Film, Livestreaming, Music Videos and Commercials until she arrived in a foggy, rule-defying land called Reality TV. In 2011, she discovered a time portal that took her to Imagecraft. There she found a properly equipped battle station where she continues to coordinate her plans. Will she ever defeat her lifelong nemesis, K-os? Will she find the enduring strength to do battle with his minions, The Producers? Will she become the hero we need? Now playing in a Burbank rental house near you.

Sonic Quest 2 is the second issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series Sonic Quest miniseries, the second of three parts. It was released in January 1997.
1 Poached
Poached
The events from the previous issue are told. King Maximillian Acorn has been rescued from the Zone of Silence, but upon returning, his mind became scrambled and his body started to undergo an unknown crystallization process. The only glimmer of hope for the King was a brief reaction to Sonic's billionth ring. Upon seeing this, Sally Acorn broke the Freedom Fighters into two groups to retrieve more rings. Sonic and Tails didn't fare well, as Tails was scooped up by a vacuum tube reaching to the sky, and Sonic was knocked out and taken by a roboticized Freedom Fighter named Condor.
Snively, now in control of Robotropolis while Dr. Robotnik controls the Death Egg, is having Robotnik's bots pamper him, rather than rebuilding the city. He lays on a bed while two bots massage him, and a floating table holds a beverage. He looks over as Robotnik calls from the Death Egg: his ultimate creation that, once completed, will be able to roboticize the whole planet. Snively panics, knocking the beverage aside and getting up, not wanting Robotnik to see him disobeying his orders. Not noticing Snively's incompetence, he continues detailing his plans with the Death Egg. Having removed the rings from the grotto outside the city, he aligned them in a chain-link on the outside of the Death Egg, rendering it invulnerable to any attack. He only requires one more thing to bring the station to full power: a Chaos Emerald. Snively looks at the console readings in front of him, noticing that the Death Egg is at a lower altitude than normal. Robotnik notes that the SWATbot operating the grotto vacuum had sucked in numerous debris, increasing the weight of the station. Once he determines there are no more rings in the debris, he will jettison it. Once he has attained normal altitude, he'll commence a search for a Chaos Emerald to begin the roboticization efforts.
Inside the excess garbage compartment of the Death Egg, Tails works his way out of all the debris and the landscape vacuumed from the grotto. He suspects its Robotnik's doing, confirming it as he sees a broken SWATbot beside him, the same one that Robotnik disposed after he vacuumed all the debris. He grabs the SWATbot and works himself into it, using it as a disguise to see what Robotnik is up to. Right as he puts on the helmet, a SWATbot enters the room, scanning the debris for extra rings. Not wanting to get disposed, Tails exits the room quietly, as the SWATbot completes a second scan of the room, confirming his findings. Outside the room, Tails prematurely hits the 'dump' button on a nearby console, trapping the SWATbot in the room as it is purged. Once the debris is purged, Robotnik calls to a disguised Tails, asking him to come to the bridge of the station to help him. Tails salutes, proud that his plan is working.
Meanwhile, outside the Death Egg, the roboticized Condor, with an unconscious Sonic in its talons, approaches the station to bring Sonic to Robotnik. Unknown to Condor, Sonic is playing possum. He opens his eyes and enters a spindash, freeing him from the talons. Using his Super Peel-Out, he is able to stay aloft, punching Condor in the face. Despite this hit, the Condor recovers quickly, hitting Sonic with its wings. Going in for the final hit, Condor swoops down toward Sonic, not realizing that the dumped debris is falling right over it. Sonic looks up, noticing the debris. He throws himself at Condor, allowing him to propel up to the debris. Using the debris and his honed jumping skills, he hops between all the debris in the pile, allowing him to reach the Death Egg's garbage doors, while Condor is hit and sent down by the debris. The doors start to close, as Sonic rests for a minute, taking out his communicator to update Sally. Something jams the communicator, making him realize that he is alone in his mission.
Back in Knothole Village, Sally remains at King Acorn's bedside, asking NICOLE if it can give any details about what is going on with him. Despite its state-of-the-art technology, NICOLE can't determine anything about the crystallization of the King, other than that he is 65% crystallized. Rotor and Geoffrey return to the hut, updating Sally on the progress on retrieving the rings. Bunnie Rabbot and Antoine have yet to reach the Lake of Rings, as Antoine got them lost, forcing Bunnie to fix their route, while Sonic and Tails have yet to update on their progress. All the stress gets to Sally, as she throws herself into Rotor's arms, crying, thinking that everything they've worked for is falling apart. As Rotor comforts her, a tear comes out of one of the King's eyes.
Onboard the Death Egg, Tails has arrived on the small bridge, as Robotnik begins the process of locating a Chaos Emerald. He pushes a few levers, propelling the station to full speed, as Tails tries to get a look at where Robotnik is heading. He is shocked, as he sees the Floating Island appear out the window. On the Floating Island itself, the arrival of the Death Egg does not go unnoticed, as Knuckles the Echidna sees it approaching from behind a cloud. Using a jet of steam, he glides up to the station to stop it, realizing it is a lot bigger than he had expected. Before he can get close to it, one of the eyes of the Death Egg unleashes a strong laser pulse, stopping Knuckles and sending him falling back to the island. He doesn't hit the ground, as he is saved by Mighty, with the other Chaotix, including Archimedes, as well.
Robotnik unleashes two large Burrobots onto the island, sending them off into different directions to find one of the island's two Chaos Emeralds. He orders them to find the Chaos Emeralds, no matter the cost, making Tails realize that he must come up with another plan to stop Robotnik. Archimedes instantly determines the mission of the Burrobots; to find the island's two Chaos Emeralds. Realizing he is right, Knuckles tells the Chaotix about the Burrobot's plans, and how they could destroy the island. They split up, rushing out to stop the Burrobots before they can locate the Emeralds.
Knuckles, Archimedes, Mighty and Charmy Bee take on one Burrobot, while Vector and Espio target the other. The first group easily take care of the Burrobot: Archimedes melting one of its drills, Mighty destroying its head with a log, Charmy throwing rocks at it, and Knuckles punching it. Espio gets the other into a choke hold, while Vector damages it with a sharp log.
Back on the Death Egg, Sonic works his way up the many levels of the station, destroying all SWATbots that are in his path. He arrives at the control room, slowly peering from the edge of the door to see what Robotnik is up to. Robotnik is so angry about the Chaotix destroying his Burrobots that he prepares to destroy the island, not realizing that Tails is about to leave the room. However, Sonic sees Tails exiting the room, and prepares to take him out.
Meanwhile, Robotnik sets a collision course with the island. The Chaotix panic and run away, as Robotnik crashes the station deep into one of the Floating Island's tallest mountains. As revenge for destroying his Burrobots, he reroutes all power to the station thrusters to push the island into the sea. Despite the immense weight and power of the station, the Chaos Emerald keeping the island afloat is able to barely counteract the station. As Robotnik pushes the station's thrusters further to beat the Chaos Emerald, going beyond the limits of the station's systems, many alarms start to go off. His efforts work, as the island starts to dip toward the sea, so he prepares a booster surge to increase power. Knuckles and Mighty contemplate what is going on, as Robotnik is focusing his effort on the south end of the island, while the Chaos Emerald must distribute its power evenly around the island to keep it equally afloat. Despite this, Archimedes believes that nobody can beat the power of a Chaos Emerald, and that Robotnik can't win. Nonetheless, Robotnik's efforts cause the island to go off balance, forcing the Chaotix to start to fall. They grab onto objects to avoid falling off, while Knuckles glides away to face the station again.
As he leaves the island to assess the situation, Knuckles is shocked to see that Robotnik's efforts are working, as part of the lower section of the island has started to become submerged in the sea. As guardian of the island, and to the hundreds that live on it, Knuckles intends on finding a way to stop the Death Egg, even if he dies while doing so.
Continued in Sonic Quest 3.
The second Chaos Emerald on the Floating Island was acquired by Knuckles in Super Sonic vs Hyper Knuckles.
Dr. Robotnik crashing the Death Egg into the Floating Island refers to the events of the Death Egg crashing into the island in Sonic 3, including submerging the lower part of it.

Dems’ 2020 dilemma: Familiar 70-somethings vs. neophyte no-names
Posted 2 years ago | 0 comments
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Old but well-known vs. fresh but anonymous: That’s how the 2020 Democratic presidential field is shaping up so far — and it’s causing anxiety within a party starting to acknowledge that President Donald Trump could be harder to beat for reelection than the base would like to admit.
The older generation — Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders—would be tested and experienced on the national stage, with high name recognition and built-in support. They’d also all be in their 70s, people who’ve been around forever for Donald Trump to use as perfect foils for exactly what he stands against.
Then there’s everyone else looking at a White House run who could embody a new start, separate from the Washington and political establishment that repel voters. But they’re virtually unknown, and they’d be running against the most famous man in the world who’s proven he can dominate every news cycle.
If only, Democrats say, there was some person under 55 who had any profile.
“That person doesn’t exist,” said Howard Dean, the 2004 presidential candidate and former Democratic National Committee chair.
Dean, who’s 68, is clear on which option he wants: “I have nothing against any of the people my age who will run, but I really do believe that if we’re going to appeal to the younger generation, we’ve got to change the party.”

Add that to the long list of existential worries gripping the party, from losing white working-class voters, to not connecting anymore with huge numbers of voters Democrats used to assume were theirs, to seeing Republicans outraise, outmaneuver and outperform them in races that they can’t offer any rational reason for not winning.
“Being able to make that kind of a gut level connection that gets underneath the politics — whether you’re 70 or older, or 35 — is what we need,” said Anson Kaye, a Democratic media consultant who worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. “Bernie Sanders came out of nowhere, Barack Obama came out of nowhere, Donald Trump came out of nowhere, and my guess is that somebody is going to come out of nowhere for 2020.”
No way, said Bill Burton, a Democratic consultant who worked on Obama’s 2008 campaign and then in the White House.
“If you look at the nominees for the two major parties going back to JFK, we never just pick somebody who no one has ever heard of,” Burton said. “I don’t think it’s likely that we pick somebody out of thin air to do it.”
Sanders will be here on Labor Day for a series of events, on his first trip back to the state since last year’s election, when he crushed Clinton in the primary and then came back to campaign for her several times in the fall.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Maryland Rep. John Delaney, two of the people hoping to get people paying attention to them, already beat him here.
“If you’re not as well known, you have to work harder to make that connection, but the special thing about our races in our country — I’ve seen it in Iowa, I’ve seen it in New Hampshire — [is the success of] people who a year or two before nobody knew who they were,” Garcetti, 46, said, driving to the airport after a day of introducing himself to people who’d mostly never heard of him. “Of course, there’s an advantage to being well-known. But there’s no real disadvantage to not being as well known.”
Reminded that former Sen. Harry Reid in December compared the Democratic front-runners to “an old folks home,” Garcetti said, “Better that he says it.”
Delaney, who’s running on his success co-founding two companies, talked about it like a business school case study. “The Democratic Party is a turnaround. Anyone who doesn’t admit that is not looking at the facts,” he said. “Having some new people taking a crack at this, I think, is very valuable.”
“Name ID is a huge advantage because it costs a lot of money to build name ID. If someone has it, they can save time and money,” Delaney added. But “national name ID is not necessarily what you have to solve for. What you have to solve for is to impress the voters in the key states.”
Trump, of course, didn’t come out of nowhere: He overwhelmed the large Republican field last year, riding on decades of celebrity. Obama was a national political star going into the 2008 campaign, thanks to his 2004 convention speech. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are the closest examples of vaulting in from nowhere.
Were Biden to run, it would be the sixth presidential election he’d either been in or come close to entering. He served 36 years in the Senate and an additional eight in the Obama administration — not the kind of résumé built for an anti-establishment moment.
But if he’s in, he’d likely be looking to tap into a sense, already building among leading Democrats and Republicans, of needing a steady elder statesman to counteract, in style and substance, Trump’s approach to the presidency.
“Joined together, we are more than 300 million strong,” Biden wrote recently in an article for the Atlantic that charred Trump over his response to the neo-Nazi march on Charlottesville and read like a draft stump speech. “Joined together, we will win this battle for our soul.”
And yet, talk to some senior Democrats in Washington about the idea of Biden running at 77 years old, and they offer some variation of how much they love him, but “I hope he doesn’t” or “it’s not what we need right now.”
“If you’re not as well known, you have to work harder to make that connection, but the special thing about our races in our country — I’ve seen it in Iowa, I’ve seen it in New Hampshire — [is the success of] people who a year or two before nobody knew who they were,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. | Jerod Harris/Getty Images
In 2016, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley could never quite answer why he’d backed Clinton in 2008 but was running against her then. With so many candidates mulling bids in 2020, there are risks of that same dynamic.
Take Biden and Garcetti. Two years from now, they could be standing on a debate stage in New Hampshire, going at each other. But in September 2015, at the height of anticipation that he was about to get into the 2016 race, Garcetti hosted the vice president for a small dinner at his home that included Jimmy Kimmel, the former California state treasurer and other potential supporters and donors. Then this past January, in his last political stop in office, Biden appeared at a mayoral reelection campaign fundraiser for Garcetti in Beverly Hills, California.
“I love Joe, and I hope his last chapter isn’t written for this country,” Garcetti said, before deflecting a question about what facing Biden might be like. Garcetti insisted he’s not at the stage of conceptualizing a White House run.
But one clear lesson he took from 2016 is that the next presidential campaign is going to be a dogfight, and anyone who gets in will have to consider the real possibility they’d lose to an upstart. No one is getting a cleared field the way Clinton, with the exception of a bid by Sanders that few took seriously at first, did.
“Not only will candidates not stand for it, I think the American people won’t stand for it again,” Garcetti said. “They want options. They don’t want to be told who to vote for.”

Technology Update — Antennas: The Shift to Small
Antenna vendors are constantly innovating to meet the evolving demands of their customers. Today, perhaps more than ever, the onus is being placed upon manufacturers to create antennas that are smaller, lighter, and more powerful. With new small satellite HTS constellations on the cards and the demands of customers increasing, where is antenna technology heading and what hurdles must it clear?
Helen Jameson
The satellite antenna of today must fulfill an extremely diverse set of applications, and vendors are striving to meet evolving customer demands. Today, customers are looking for smaller, lightweight, more powerful antennas that will fulfill their many requirements. Satellite antennas must be highly versatile, and manufacturers must be innovative and offer enhanced features at a price that is right. It’s a balancing act, and there are some pivotal industry developments that are currently driving antenna development.
“Over the past few years, two big trends in commercial spacecraft are influencing satellite antenna manufacturers and integrators like Datapath,” says president and CEO David Myers. “The first trend has been the launch of traditional geosynchronous satellites using new high throughput designs in both Ku and Ka frequency bands. Intelsat EpicNG and Inmarsat Global Xpress are classic examples of each type. Now the second big industry trend — smaller Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, from companies like OneWeb, do present some exciting but very real technical, cost and implementation challenges. For these emerging satellite technologies, it will require field-proven antenna and terminal manufacturers to ensure that the user experience is able to deliver on its promise.”
Demand has been heavily focused on terminals that are easy to transport and very easy to use so that no technicians are required to set up or to line up the antenna with the satellite. Terminals must be fast to deploy when required and that could be anywhere, from the scene of a news story to an oil exploration project to a disaster zone. The antenna and its associated equipment must offer this flexibility, not to mention cost-effectiveness. Auto-deploy systems, though very easy to use, must also not interfere with other systems, which is a constant challenge for manufacturers.
C-Com Satellite Systems has been in the antenna business since 1997 and has developed the popular iNetVu range of one button, auto-deploy VSATs. Drew Klein, director of international business development for C-Com, explains how the company keeps up with demand and expectations of the market, saying keeping prices low while simultaneously improving the technology is paramount.

“C-Com is well aware of the strict rules with regard to interference and cross polarization requirements that satellite operators expect their users, and the equipment they have chosen, to comply. Our company continues to seek approvals and certification from all operators to give them and their customers the confidence that we can meet and exceed their expectations. Improving pointing accuracy while minimizing the time to acquire satellite with excellent X-POL, at an attractive price, is always our mission.”
An Evolving Approach to Business
Customer demand is shaping the businesses of satellite operators and antenna manufacturers. Operators are no longer vendors of capacity, they are service providers and they are constantly re-evaluating their business models to tie in with the new capacity that is becoming available.
“Our customers are evolving today to meet the new technical and market challenges of mobile broadband services tomorrow,” says David Helfgott, CEO of Phasor. “This is wide-ranging, as thinking changes from providing capacity to providing services, from megahertz to megabits, and from shared pools and best-effort network to Committed Information Rate (CIR) based service level agreements.”
Myers reiterates this changing demand.
“They [customers] are looking for complete end-to-end solutions from the smallest device on the remote site all the way back to the teleport or data center,” he adds.
Banks have also taken advantage of the technology to take their services mobile.C-Com
Antenna manufacturers are also trying to be more flexible in their design, giving customers more options in terms of how they may use their antennas. Myers points out that, at present, in many cases customers must often choose a stationary or mobile communications terminal, depending on how they will use the service. “We [Datapath] are exploring emerging phased array technologies that would allow customers to use the same terminal whether ‘on-the-move’ or stationary. The technology is there, making a cost-effective product that can scale is the challenge ahead,” he says.
Future Growth Lies in Mobility
Large LEO satellite deployments on the horizon from OneWeb, LeoSat, and SpaceX promise a new wave of connectivity that will facilitate broadband access to moving platforms such as trains, cars, ships and aircraft. The keyword for the future is mobility.
“Customers are looking for more of everything,” explains Bill Marks, CCO and EVP of Kymeta. “The market is saying that they need to connect more devices from all mobile platforms with more data, more capacity and greater coverage.”
The development of ground terminal technology will be paramount to the success of the new LEO constellations. Terminals need to be spectrally efficient and capable of switching seamlessly from beam to beam. In addition, with the demand for conformal solutions, terminals need to be extremely low profile and lightweight. When deployed on a moving platform they must not add to drag. Traditional parabolic antennas can be bulky, heavy and there are also issues with steering mechanisms. There are many moving parts that make the antenna prone to downtime or failure. These are big issues for the provision of broadband on mobile platforms.
The FPA: The Answer to Mobility?
Phasor antennaPhasor
Flat Panel Antennas (FPAs) are increasingly viewed as the key enabler for High Throughput Satellite (HTS) and Non-Geosynchronous (NGSO) systems. In NSR’s Flat Panel Antenna Analysis report published earlier this year, the research firm highlighted that “FPAs, especially the electronically-steered variety, are a key technology for unlocking higher satellite bandwidth efficiencies with minimum weight penalty, which is critical in mobility.”
Innovation in FPA technology is moving very quickly and players such as Kymeta, Phasor and more recently, C-Com, are all poised to deliver highly inventive technologies that are aimed at meeting the demands of new generation satellite operators. Kymeta, developer of antennas for mobile broadband based on metamaterial technology, views this as a golden opportunity for the company.
“Mechanically steered antennas are impractical and costly to use,” says Marks. “As an example, fast-moving satellites require a minimum of two antennas to maintain a continuous connection; this is costly, and difficult to maintain and install. Kymeta’s flat panel, Electronically-Steered Antenna [ESA] has no moving parts and can acquire, steer and lock a beam to any satellite. Because it has no moving parts, the chance of failure or need for repair is also greatly diminished.”
Kymeta sees major growth for its product in the mobility market on land, sea and air. The company has established partnerships with Toyota for land-based mobility, Panasonic for sea-going vessels, and Inmarsat for airborne applications.
“Kymeta’s technology makes both legacy and HTS easily accessible to mobile users, and its simple and effective terminals are also available to GEO and non-GEO capacity users. By unlocking fixed spectrum to a mass market of mobility users, Kymeta is helping the satellite industry attain some of the largest growth it has ever seen,” says Marks.

Phasor is developing an electronically steerable phased array, flat panel antenna to address the demands of the enterprise market. Helfgott firmly believes that it is vitally important that NGSOs take a meticulous approach when looking at the ground system component in order to make their systems a success.
“Small satellite operators that are NGSO must think through the complementary terrestrial infrastructure and user terminals,” he stresses. “Most require a ‘make before you break’ capability to see two birds and two beams simultaneously. Dual mechanical tracking antennas are impractical in many use-cases, so NGSOs will have to plan on someone’s ESA technology in order to make their business case (and networks) work. Phasor plans on being a lead option for this market.”
Helfgott is confident that Phasor can deliver future-proofed technology that will remain relevant going forward.
“For Phasor, the rate of change in the ESA technology space far outpaces that of the satellite operators,” he adds. “Our technology is fundamentally ASIC (micro-chip)-based, so we enjoy a rate of innovation and change akin to Moore’s Law [speeds, or overall processing power for computers will double every two years]. We like to think that we are a catalyst to accelerate use and acceptance of the new HTS mobility base services to be offered in the near future.”
With agreements in place with OmniAccess for the super-yacht market, Intelsat for the small-jet market and Harris CapRock for the cruise sector, Phasor sees the changing nature of the market as a huge opportunity and driver for the business.
C-Com has also very recently announced a breakthrough in its new phased array/phase shifting technology. The company expects the 4x4 sub array antenna module technology to have a significant impact on the satellite antenna business. This development will make it possible to deploy low cost, low weight, low profile Ku, Ka or hybrid Ku/Ka-band antenna system combinations for fixed and mobile satellite broadband communication applications.
“Adopting and migrating to emerging Ka-band services will enable us to bring smaller, lower cost antennas and much more affordable broadband services. Our new phased array technology will also be an enabler for low profile, low cost and more flexible antennas,” says Klein.
The antenna is going through a key phase of its technological evolution and it is an exciting time. However, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the antenna. The correct choice all depends on the application that it must fulfill, and some will fit the bill better than others. Crucially, reliability and cost will be the deciding factors in the success of emerging antenna technology while players will focus on a more managed, turn-key approach to their services.
“The key is being flexible enough to enable the customer to solve their communication problem in a way that works for their organization,” Myers concludes. VS

Trabalho e loucura: possibilidades de carreira para pessoas em situação psicótica
Author(s): Marcelo Afonso Ribeiro
Journal: Mental
Volume: 7;
This article analyzes the meanings of work and career for a group traditionally excluded from work (the psychotic) and their strategies for career development difficult to implement. Focus groups were conducted with 30 people with psychotic mental disorders. The main findings pointed out that most participants make a connection between work and health and believe that it is impossible for them to hold a career because of their psychosis; however, some of them work and feel capable of building a career encouraged by the new market diversity. It was concluded that the stigma and difficulty in developing a career still predominate, but the transitional aspect of the world seems to be creating new psychosocial structures more open for the differences.

Market Focus: Russia
The Review article about russian live music industry. Including the note of Alexander Strizhak (Owner and CEO JSA Stage Company) for this case.
The magazine AUDIENCE – Issue 146 / March 2012
Essential support
But while promoters are generally optimistic, Alexander Strizhak, founder and owner of long-established production company JSA, which has built stages for Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, Elton John and many others, is more cautious about the outlook.
“The market is stable, but not growing,” he says. “We have no great new live artistes who are ready to progress to stadiums or for touring outdoors. Even western rock and pop stars have done their shows indoors recently.
“The only signi cant outdoor show was Linkin Park in Moscow which was tied to the worldwide launch of the movie Transformers 3. Because of this, the staging industry cannot move on to the next step.”….
It’s a vast country with huge potential, but it takes time to mature and emerge from decades of government when entrepreneurship was something to be kept hidden from public view. However, the country’s promoters and principle venues for international acts are doing a fine job in opening the market, as Johnny Black reports.

South Bend goes green with new garbage trucks
Peter Johnson,
South Bend IN. Apr 22, 2013.
The city of South Bend is going green with new garbage trucks. Monday, ABC 57 got our first look at the new trucks which are part of the city's new solid waste plan. The plan will save the city money and will cut back on fuel consumption. The trucks run on compressed natural gas. The Director of Central Services says the trucks will save the city about $50,000 a year. "The big thing is it's going to pay for itself. The compressed natural gas vehicle to outfit it is just over $31,000 per truck. We're going to save $2.47 per gallon of fuel. So the payoff is going to be about 2 1/2 years it will pay for itself," said Matt Chlebowski. A grant paid for two of the four trucks and South Bend could get three more by the end of the year.

Waste Connections debuts natural-gas-fueled trucks
By Eric Florip.
Columbian transportation & environment reporter
Normally, buying four new yard debris trucks isn't cause for celebration at Waste Connections Inc. Normally, those trucks don't run without a drop of diesel fuel. But the latest additions are something different — the vehicles rolled out locally last month are fueled by the county's first compressed natural gas fueling station. Waste Connections officials and local leaders dedicated one of the new trucks Thursday at the company's hauling facility in the Five Corners area off Northeast 94th Avenue. As the specially equipped truck started up next to the fueling station, the gathering took note of one benefit some residents may have noticed already during their morning pick-up. "They're quieter," said Chris Thomas, Waste Connections' district manager. "They're noticeably quieter."

City of Plano, Texas speaks highly about its Expert Dual Helping-Hand truck.
Friday June 1st 2012
Watch what Environmental Services Superintendent Steve Funk has to say about alley collection with their Expert Dual Helping-Hand and how it benefits the city and its residents. The City of Plano has been utilizing automated collection for the past 15 years and they were no more secret about automation for Environmental Services Superintendent Steve Funk until Equipment Southwest demoed an Expert Dual Helping-Hand to the city in the summer of 2010 and again in March 2011. The City saw the huge potential that a Dual Helping-Hand had to offer for alley collection and have since purchased two for their fleet. After using the Labrie Dual Helping-Hand trucks in Plano’s alleys for several months, “we have noticed a 10 -20 % increase in cart/hour productivity, we have reduced driven mileage and wear & tare on the truck such as tire replacement, cost to service and breaks changes. Since safety has always been a priority in our city, reducing collection time in an alley by 50% makes it much safer for resident and their kids and pets and we’ve noticed less wear & tare done by the truck in our alleys”, says Funk.

Observations of carbon export by small sinking particles in the upper mesopelagic
Carbon and nutrients are transported out of the surface ocean and sequestered at depth by sinking particles. Sinking particle sizes span many orders of magnitude and the relative influence of small particles on carbon export compared to large particles has not been resolved. To determine the influence of particle size on carbon export, the flux of both small (11–64 μm) and large (> 64 μm) particles in the upper mesopelagic was examined during 5 cruises of the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series (BATS) in the Sargasso Sea using neutrally buoyant sediment traps mounted with tubes containing polyacrylamide gel layers and tubes containing a poisoned brine layer. Particles were also collected in surface-tethered, free-floating traps at higher carbon flux locations in the tropical and subtropical South Atlantic Ocean. Particle sizes spanning three orders of magnitude were resolved in gel samples, included sinking particles as small as 11 μm. At BATS, the number flux of small particles tended to increase with depth, whereas the number flux of large particles tended to decrease with depth. The carbon content of different sized particles could not be modeled by a single set of parameters because the particle composition varied across locations and over time. The modeled carbon flux by small particles at BATS, including all samples and depths, was 39 ± 20% of the modeled total carbon flux, and the percentage increased with depth in 4 out of the 5 months sampled. These results indicate that small particles (< 64 μm) are actively settling in the water column and are an important contributor to carbon flux throughout the mesopelagic. Observations and models that overlook these particles will underestimate the vertical flux of organic matter in the ocean., published

Heart rate regulation in diving sea lions: The vagus nerve rules
Export Date: 8 May 2017, Review, Recent publications have emphasized the potential generation of morbid cardiac arrhythmias secondary to autonomic conflict in diving marine mammals. Such conflict, as typified by cardiovascular responses to cold water immersion in humans, has been proposed to result from exercise-related activation of cardiac sympathetic fibers to increase heart rate, combined with depth-related changes in parasympathetic tone to decrease heart rate. After reviewing the marine mammal literature and evaluating heart rate profiles of diving California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), we present an alternative interpretation of heart rate regulation that de-emphasizes the concept of autonomic conflict and the risk of morbid arrhythmias in marine mammals. We hypothesize that: (1) both the sympathetic cardiac accelerator fibers and the peripheral sympathetic vasomotor fibers are activated during dives even without exercise, and their activities are elevated at the lowest heart rates in a dive when vasoconstriction is maximal, (2) in diving animals, parasympathetic cardiac tone via the vagus nerve dominates over sympathetic cardiac tone during all phases of the dive, thus producing the bradycardia, (3) adjustment in vagal activity, which may be affected by many inputs, including exercise, is the primary regulator of heart rate and heart rate fluctuations during diving, and (4) heart beat fluctuations (benign arrhythmias) are common in marine mammals. Consistent with the literature and with these hypotheses, we believe that the generation of morbid arrhythmias because of exercise or stress during dives is unlikely in marine mammals

Chitin in Diatoms and Its Association with the Cell Wall
Chitin is a globally abundant polymer widely distributed throughout eukaryotes that has been well characterized in only a few lineages. Diatoms are members of the eukaryotic lineage of stramenopiles. Of the hundreds of diatom genera, two produce long fibers of chitin that extrude through their cell walls of silica. We identify and describe here genes encoding putative chitin synthases in a variety of additional diatom genera, indicating that the ability to produce chitin is more widespread and likely plays a more central role in diatom biology than previously considered. Diatom chitin synthases fall into four phylogenetic clades. Protein domain predictions and differential gene expression patterns provide evidence that chitin synthases have multiple functions within a diatom cell. Thalassiosira pseudonana possesses six genes encoding three types of chitin synthases. Transcript abundance of the gene encoding one of these chitin synthase types increases when cells resume division after short-term silicic acid starvation and during short-term limitation by silicic acid or iron, two nutrient conditions connected in the environment and known to affect the cell wall. During long-term silicic acid starvation transcript abundance of this gene and one additional chitin synthase gene increased at the same time a chitin-binding lectin localized to the girdle band region of the cell wall. Together, these results suggest that the ability to produce chitin is more widespread in diatoms than previously thought and that a subset of the chitin produced by diatoms is associated with the cell wall., published

KENNEDY YANKO EXPLORES SHIFTING IDENTITIES THROUGH REPURPOSED METAL — CAIRA MOREIRA-BROWN
Cultbytes, 10.22.2019
Using repurposed metal and paint skin the multimedia artist Kennedy Yanko explores the limitations of materials in their solo-show HANNAH at Kavi Gupta Gallery in Chicago. To create their sculptures they integrate found abandoned raw materials, like metals, from various junkyards and uses a torch to attach the pieces to sheet metal. Influenced by their own body movements, the large-scale sculptural works expose the relationships between representation and identity while providing succinct commentary on gender.
Yanko creates a physical connection with the found objects that they integrate into their practice by reshaping the found industrial materials into striking painted sculptures. Each found object is crushed and pounded with a sledgehammer until Yanko is satisfied with the piece. Through this deconstructing process, Yanko creates a method of transforming masculine materials like metal and marble into organic visual sculptures.
The exhibition’s title, HANNAH, is Yanko’s name given at birth. Changing her name from Hannah to Kennedy was an attempt to detach herself from gender associations. The works included in HANNAH highlight the ambiguity of perception and how abstraction can serve as an intuitive tool. The evocation of gender neutrality while harnessing the physicality of her materials allows her to play with the conclusions spectators draw from her sculptures.
“Agate” (2019) oscillates between “masculine” and “feminine” the thin interlacing pieces of metal convey roughness and gentle movement all in the same sculpture. Rather than reinforcing the gendered categorization of materials Yanko’s sculptures cleverly dispel them. with heavy metals and paints requires hard labor on both a mental and physical level. More often than not the steel industry has been characterized by being a male-dominated industry. The masculinity that accompanies the steel and construction industry often deem women as less valuable, sexual distractions, or are not physically fit for the job. Through her work, Yanko proves that there is a place for women to wield the powerful material.
Yanko, originally from St. Louis, MO is a Brooklyn based artist. Before diving into her sculptural practice Yanko was a competitive bodybuilder, personal trainer, and yoga teacher. At first, she worked only in painting but slowly moved on to integrating sheet metals into her practice. Now she identifies as a sculptor. But, similar to her mission of forcing the viewer to question her materials she poses the question: must the title of sculptor or painter be separate? As a child, she often visited building sites with her father who was an architect. Being familiar with the dirt, grit, and construction materials as well as the reinforced gender norms at these sites she has the background knowledge needed to distort and pick apart modes of material and societal constructions.
Yanko sees herself as a “sensory artist” as her work, in her own words, “is conceptual, but also experiential.” She mixes paints with ultraviolet ray protection to create new colors with a sheen that serve as veils to the dried auto body paints of the scrap metal. As her work combines metal and paints in a form of collage they appear multi-dimensional and layered, as a viewer, I am drawn to feel a physical reaction responding to the hard labor required to shape the steel.
“Steeled” (2019) has both characteristics of softness in the slick finish and hardness in the harsh angular shapes. The movement of the sheet metal is sleek and soft, simply just flowing yet each corner of “Steeled” is sharp, and direct. Ridgid, yet abstract. The characteristics of softness, often associated with feminine attributes are juxtaposed with harsh corners, an opposing attribute that is associated with masculinity. Imbuing these multiplicities, “Steeled” cannot so easily be categorized, which we as a society often like to do.
We understand through both “Steeled” and “Agate” that the characteristics of the paint and sheet metal are on opposite sides of the spectrum in terms of touch, smell, and flexibility. Characteristics like weight, flexibility, texture all come into question. To look at Yanko’s work and not say it is not a product of nature would contradict all the elements that she implements into her craft. Through the juxtaposition and merging of her paint skins and more earthly elements like metal Yanko challenges how we view materials.
ach work is a product but her whole process from start to finish shows the evolution in nature, the change in physical appearance and how objects shift. Like playing with pronouns, the vibrant sculptures challenge the viewer to understand themselves in the presence of manipulated elements of nature and created identities. Manipulating our appearance through plastic surgery or simply the way we present ourselves to the world using various filters on social media affects how others view our purpose and utility. Through its ambiguous physicality, Yanko’s work challenges the viewer to question the balance between constructed identities and perception.
HANNAH reveals that similar to humans, materials have untapped power and are ever-changing, yet at the same time the works question the limitations of materialism, and where representation and identity are fused, or separated.

Sophie’s Diary – July 18, 2017
18 July 2017 by Morgan Young
Today is Nelson Mandela Day! We celebrated today to honor the late Nelson Mandela who was the first Democratically elected president of a Free South Africa and fought for social justice for 67 years.
We started today by taking the opportunity to meet with Anele Nosipho Ngcobo again, who we gave a scholarship to last summer. She is studying for her teaching degree in early childhood development, which will take four years to complete. She hopes to teach 9-14-year old’s once she has completed her studies. She attends the University of South Africa (UNISA) in Durban.
She is the first of her 5 brothers and sisters to study at University. Before she received her scholarship, she worked at a nursing home near her house which is in a traditional South African village. Her father Linos who has been a Partex Haley employee for 30 years, wanted to help support his daughter during her studies. He supports for her food and living costs. She lives close to the school and rooms with two other girls. One is from Durban, and the other girl is from her home town and studying to become a teacher as well. Anele and her roommate are the only two people from their home village to attend University.
Anele studies very hard as she can usually be found at the library. On the weekends, she goes home to help her family and parents, goes to the beach, or studies in the library. She seems very committed and engaged. Her hard work really shows after she showed me her marks from the previous semester where she took the following courses; Teaching English, Environmental education, and History and Teaching geography in South Africa. She scored 78% overall which is great!
Anele and her father expressed their gratitude to us many times and said that without our support, she would have never had the chance to go to school. Anele thanks god, her parents and us for this wonderful opportunity. We are so happy and proud of her progress and wish her the best of luck in her next semester. She will be taking the following courses; Guidance/counselling and life skills development, Language through an African, Theory framework in education, African language and culture in practice and The learning child.
We see a very bright future for Anele and wish her luck in her ongoing studies and to one day give back to her country by educating more South African children! Keep up the great work Anele!

Our Hearts, Our Arms, Our Lives
View the score.
Our Hearts, Our Arms, Our Lives was written in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the one of the major engagements of the American Civil War, the Battle of Shiloh, fought in southwestern Tennessee on April 6-7, 1862. More American lives were lost in two days at Shiloh than had been lost in all previous American wars combined. It profoundly shaped the perception of the war on both sides, causing both to fully realize the struggle would be long and very costly.
The title is taken from “Cheer Boys, Cheer!” a war song of Southern Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan’s Raiders:
Cheer boys, cheer! We’ll march away to battle!
Cheer boys, cheer, for our sweethearts and our wives!
Cheer boys, cheer! We’ll nobly do our duty,
And give to the South our hearts, our arms, our lives.
For his help in identifying source material for this composition, I am indebted to Bobby Horton, a Birmingham, Alabama, folk musician and Civil War historian.
Source material:
The Battle of Shiloh Hill
Set to the folk tune “Wandering Sailor,” the lyrics are attributed to M. B. Smith, a soldier in Company C, 2nd Regiment of the Texas Volunteers. The song is substantially a first-person narrative of the battle from the perspective of a Southern foot soldier.
The Drummer Boy of Shiloh
This is a composed song by William Shakespeare Hays, a Civil War era composer who sold millions of copies of his music, largely due to the tearful sentimentality of his lyrics. His friends long promoted him as the “True American Composer Laureate,” in order to downgrade Stephen Foster.
Cheer Boys, Cheer! or Morgan’s War Song
The author and composer of this song are unknown, although it is believed that the song is of English origin, taught to Morgan’s Raiders by a British member of Morgan’s staff, and subsequently given new American lyrics.

Hutu Diaspora Narrative: Conflict of Identity, Identity in Conflict
MARS Home
etd @ Mason (Electronic Theses and Dissertations)
School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution
Kuradusenge, Claudine
This study followed three generations of Hutus in their diasporic communities. Seeking to understand the formation and/or transformation of their identity, the researcher aimed to explore the narratives of selves in the mixture of competing narratives. Classified as victims and treated as the Other, these generations offered an inside look in the individual and social dynamics that composed the general understanding of mass violence and trauma. As diaspora communities, it was essential to explore the history of Rwanda and its aftermath in order to identify the different narratives these communities were facing. A long with that, their sense of belonging to a nation was not only shaped by the homeland but also by their political attachment to both the homeland and host community. Therefore, knowing that their narratives of Rwanda and selves were competing with the official narrative of the 1994 genocide and the Rwandan government, these three generations were offering a different, maybe counter-narrative of their understanding of the events and their impact of the formation of identity in the perpetrator’s group. Consequently, the idea that guided this research was based on the examination of the identity formation of those labeled as perpetrators and their next generations. This research is a compilation of their narratives of identity and their understanding of the events, as well as the coping mechanisms their used in order to overcome their challenges. It is primordial to conduct such research since history tends to repeat itself. Often, victims become the perpetrators and perpetrators become victims.

26°57,3’N, 142°16,8’E – At this location in the northwestern pacific, the Japanese marine biologist Tsunemi Kubodera took for the first time pictures of a living giant squid in its natural environment. I chose this coordinates as the title for this book containing three poems by the Berlin based author Durs Grünbein. Despite being located 900 km south of Tokyo, the Ogasawara islands belong to the administrative district of the capital. Until these first images were taken, all scientific surveys were based on dead squids washed ashore, or parts of them found in the stomach of sperm whales. Their giant size evoked the myth of an aggressive monster. When Kubodera published the pictures he has taken in September 2004 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society one year later this was not only a scientific sensation, but he got worldwide attention in mass-media as well.
Inspired by a note in the newspaper, Durs Grünbein wrote a poem titled “Architeuthis” about this discovery. Fascinated by his seven-verse text, this project about deep-sea fish emerged. We chose two further poems to be printed, one – which had already been published – about the bizarre shapes and behaviors of creatures living in such depth entitled “Sous les Mers” reminding of Jules Verne’s Capitain Nemo. And the other one about the legendary fish “Remora” which Grünbein wrote specially for this book.
In autumn 2006, just shortly before he caught the first giant squid alive, I visited Tsunemi Kubodera in his laboratory in the National Museum of Science in Tokyo. Surrounded by countless preparations and images of different types of squids, he told me about his discovery and the reactions on his publication, not forgetting to point out his disappointment about the Japanese media that concentrated on the questions if this giant squid is edible and how many sushi could be made out of it. I decided to use the data and formulas received from Kubodera together with some nautical charts as illustrations for the book. When we met, Kubodera also showed me pictures and short films of squids he recorded in depths between 600 and 1.000 meters. On these images, the unpracticed spectator only sees dimly silhouettes of the squids but at the same time starts to sense the diversity of life in such darkness. This gave me the idea to use the interaction of transparent and opaque pages for this book.
In search of an appropriate paper, some difficulties arose: a beautiful sample that I had brought back from a trip to Shikoku some years ago, was not available any more, since the papermaker had died and no one succeeded his skills. Finally, I got a bigger amount of old Toshaban-Genshi, a very thin Ganpi paper, which was used to make stencils for Mimeographs. This paper was exactly what I was looking for, on the one hand very thin and transparent, on the other hand so firm that once it was printed with a dark color, it turned to be opaque. It also attracts through a fine and rustling tone.
Each page of the book consists of a double spread paper, fold in the front. These fold pages are printed completely with a transparent medium, a color ranging between grey, blue, or black as well as transitions of these colors. The pages are cut horizontally, pulled apart a little bit and thus make visible the inserted single sheets. On these sheets, I printed the data Kubodera surveyed, as well as the nautical charts that are often only partially visible. The pages with their stripes remind the reader of horizons and depth contours and at the same time give a glimpse to the normally invisible variety of the deep-sea world as if lighted up with a torch.
The first and the last page show the outlines of Tokyo Bay with the fish market Tsukiji. In 1895, for the first time a species named “Architeuthis sp.” was discovered there and described by the Japanese scientists Mitsukuri and Ikeda. The German scientist Franz Hilgendorf, wo described in 1880 a “Megateuthis”, found a lot of his specimens in Tsukiji.
The tranquil and colored pages are interrupted by six double-spread pale pages, printed with the three poems in German on the left and their Japanese translation on the right side. According to the coordinates of the place where Kubodera made his images, all periods are replaced by a degree mark and commas are replaced with a minute mark. Yuji Nawata translated the poems into Japanese for this edition. All inserted single pages and the poems are printed by polymer clichés, the colored pages are printed by Vinyl mats.
The book is stitched with thin straps of vellum to a flexible cover of clear vellum. The first page contains the title and the last page with the imprint are visible through the clear material. By it’s natural warping and organic character, the vellum sets a harmonic antipole to the technical image of the inner pages. On the front cover, the name of the author is embossed in small letters. To control the natural warping of the vellum, the covers are hold together with magnetic strips at the leading edge. The book is kept in a compact box made of 8 mm acrylic glass in the style of a preparation. By this it seems to be cast in and the heavy box forms a beautiful contrast to the lightweight and fragile book.

Biohazards, medical records languish in abandoned Detroit nursing home
By Steve Neavling on January 28, 2014 6 Comments
Biohazards and thousands of confidential medical records have languished for five years inside a former nursing home on Detroit’s east side – and the doors are wide open to trespass.
A Motor City Muckraker investigation has revealed that the New Detroit Nursing Center on East Grand Boulevard violated state and federal laws in 2009 by closing the building and leaving behind bloody syringes, prescription pills, medical supplies and thousands of confidential medical records stacked from the floor to the ceiling.
The files contain sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, in-depth medical histories, addresses and phone numbers, leaving former patients and employees vulnerable to identity fraud.
The nursing home, which was run by the now-defunct Grosse Pointe Park company, El-Dan, committed several major violations in 2009, prompting the state to ban new admissions at the 50-bed home, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health. Soon after, the company abandoned the adjoined buildings.
Today, the buildings are easily accessible and infested with mold. Patient and employee records are rotting in closets and cabinets. Biohazards, medical supplies and beds are strewn across filthy floors.
In June, we revealed that tens of thousands of confidential records containing social security numbers, financial information and medical histories of children and adults have been left behind in abandoned schools, police stations, nursing homes, churches and hospitals in metro Detroit.
State law requires medical records to be preserved for at least seven years because they are critical to maintaining an accurate medical history and ensuring prompt treatment. After seven years, the records can be destroyed if they are properly “shredded, incinerated, electronically deleted, or otherwise disposed of in a manner that ensures continued confidentiality of the patient’s health care information.”
The Grosse Pointe family that operated El-Dan, Daniel and Eleanor James, sold the property to the nearby Trinity Deliverance Church in 2010 for $200,000, according to Wayne County property taxes.
Eleanor James died in 2010, and her husband couldn’t be reached for comment.
The church, which owes more than $30,000 in delinquent taxes for the property, planned to transform the buildings into a homeless shelter and job-training center, Pastor Diane Washington told me Monday.
But thieves scavenged the buildings for metal, causing extensive damage.
“After they got vandalized, we couldn’t afford to do anything with the buildings,” Washington said.
We notified Mayor Mike Duggan’s office of the buildings, and a spokesman said the city would investigate.
The abandonment of medical records and social security records violate numerous laws, including HIPAA, the Medical Waste Regulatory Act and the Michigan Identity Theft Protection Act.
Washington said she hopes the church can secure funding to save the buildings on the once-prosperous boulevard.

It would have been simple for the buyer only to take possession when the seller cleared the property. I’m certain the James’s would have followed through. Older couple probably have more money than they would ever spend but still not enough. The people from the church should be in front of his house.

Wow, no words other than they best get the records out of there as thieves will have a field day with identity theft. And drug dealers same deal, they will go after the pills…old or not. Superb work on this on my friend.
MichaelDallen
Incredible. Saw this happen at the hospital and geriatric center on W. Seven Mile near Southfield – in fact, it made up part of a photo essay in Time Magazine. Like the Andrea Doria, it looked like all the people suddenly just scurried away from the place, with coffee poured and breakfast on the way… Naturally, scavengers came, eventually… My question is, why do these supposedly responsible and otherwise successful companies leave these places like this?

The owner also received $200,000 for the building, so he had the money to properly remove the records and medical waste.
Anything further come of this issue?
Thanks for asking. The state and city responded quickly, saying the building would be locked up and the biohazards and records removed. But I haven’t had an opportunity to go there and confirm that anything happened. I will soon.

was concerned with the number facts and the paper and pencil skills for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Concepts dealt with ideas believed crucial to a meaningful grasp of math, . Applications were problem solving activities that involved even the slightest math, . A key feature of the applications was that they were things kids wanted to do. This motivated the campers to participate in some of the less popular lessons, like the one on percent, because they were prerequisites for some of the more popular applications.
Taking a break at Arithmetic in Residence™ meant going on a field trip. Everyone went: every camper, every instructor. As with applications, the trips had to involve some math, but just about everything involves math or at least can be counted (like the cows) or measured, so whatever people wanted to do became the chief decider for field trips. Especially memorable trips were one to an to measure the dimensions of the dwellings (so the children would quit complaining about how small their rooms were), one to a to learn about the uses of math in mining and manufacturing copper, and one to some to dig “tears” and later weigh and measure them to figure out who had dug the most.
Overall, the curriculum at Arithmetic in Residence™ reflected Bloom’s (1956) taxonomy—a curriculum concerned with the full spectrum of knowledge from recognition to evaluation. Each strand, however, reflected its own advocate. Basic skills were taught using a diagnostic-prescriptive computational skills program that modeled the admonitions of Gagne (1965) for hierarchical sequencing. Concept lessons were taught from a hands-on perspective in the developmental vein associated with Piaget (Flavell, 1963). Applications were taught from the exploratory discovery viewpoint voiced by Bruner (1960). The strength of the curriculum was its fitting of task to theory instead of trying to force-fit everything to a single theory. Central to this belief was Dewey’s (1938) challenge from the past rebuking educators for “either-or” thinking—either this or that—instead of, perhaps, a bit of this and a bit of that.
The hour or two after dinner before lights out was also a part of the curriculum. Everyone would gather for songs and games. Often, . Slowly, the offenses and mistakes of the day became less hurtful, and everyone got back to being friendly with each other. Frequent guest entertainers during this time were and his brother, Gary. Norman has since performed professionally in Honolulu, Las Vegas, and New York and has a website for the songs he has written and recorded.
The goals of Arithmetic in Residence™ were to remedy notable deficiencies with basics, to build self-confidence with math based on success with the subject, to improve attitudes toward math, and to extend a paper-and-pencil understanding of math to math as a viewpoint and a way of thinking. Standardized exams and informal feedback from the campers were used to determine attainment of the goals.
Arithmetic in Residence™ adhered to the total immersion model effective in teaching foreign languages. Basics began right after breakfast and lasted for 75 minutes, followed by a 15-minute break and 75-90 minutes on concepts. Applications began right after lunch and lasted from 1-2 hours depending on the activity. Movement through the curriculum was recorded on continual progress reports for basics and on charts like the ones shown for concepts and applications. The descriptions of the activities listed in the charts were for the instructors who interpreted them for the campers.

A Summer Film That IS Even Better Than The Hype
Min S. Godsey
The Grinch I went and looked, and I want to express my thoughts. I went to this film with very high expectations, with a sense of something. I went to him twice, the first time, myself, and the second with the family, and I was even surprised that my mother, sister and dad (who do not understand this movie at all) brought unreal pleasure and an ocean of emotions.Each frame, each scene does not let you get bored, from the Marvel logo, and to the stage after the credits. Favorite heroes once again experienced side by side and you feel it, you are completely absorbed in a hurricane of events and you are watching it in one breath. In comparison with the War of Infinity, even the Confrontation looks like an ordinary fight in the sandbox.Uuuu, and the villain, the best as for me the best in this kirovoveselennoy, he is not just a bot at once, without motivation, no, it's just the opposite. I liked Thanos so much that you do not want to, and he began to impress me, in terms of his convictions (I had it only once, with Joker Heath Ledger). He has feelings, he makes choices, he's alive...
Kyle Bryant
All the reviews that say this movie has no plot are either trolls, idiots, or didn't are to take the time to watch previous marvel movies. Every single one of those ratings and reviews should be taken down and not added to the rating for Infinity War because of their fundamental lack of understanding. It's like coming in and watching the last 2 minutes of an hour long drama show and saying this episode sucks because it has no plot. It's utterly ridiculous!There have been 31 marvel movies leading up to this point. All 31 has have some plot that leads to infinity war. Infinity War IS the end game movie. There is nothing left to explain, nothing left to discuss, it is all-out fight for control of the most powerful items in existence, the infinity stones. There have been 31 movies to explain in someway the power of these stones and/or the heroes that come together to fight Thanos in this movie. It's like a long game of chess where Thanos finally makes his move, and it's a huge one.So I beg of any of you who reads this. Don't listen to anyone who says this movie has no plot, has no reason and is only fighting. They aren't worth listening to, Infinity Wars has roughly 60 hours of plot from 31 precious movies leading up to this monumental fight for life or death, and the movie is done to near perfection. The movie is glorious, the CGI is fantastic, the battles are awe-inspiring, and Thanos is made worth of your fear from the very beginning. He is truly the Mad Titan that captures your heart and crushes it right in front of your eyes. Anyone who doesn't think this clearly didn't see the same movie.
Sally L. Midkiff
Gotta say, never a dull moment in this one and I never felt overwhelmed which surprised me with about a thousand cast members in this one. Great job introducing the bad guy as a real imposing fella. Then an interesting kind of twist making him seem not so bad as they revealed his story. Some seriously funny lines in this one. Had me laughing out loud at the theater. My son says he wants to buy it.
John Sanchez
Well, Well, Well....I was so ready to tear this down - 19th MCU film, too many stars, bloated CGI, first of a two parter, and so on and so on...Yet, this is so much fun. Pure popcorn...now in the dictionary under "popcorn film" is just the poster for this film. Somehow, the Russo Brothers have juggled all the parts to give everyone some time in the sun. They are helped immensely by two things: the premise is so pure Mcguffin that you just watch Thanos look for Infinity Stones which gives a primal momentum and that the film's stars/characters are looking to move on - that means, actual stakes for once as people could really die and not just comic book dying either.The DC people must be kicking themselves. The lightness and comedic touches are brilliant. You are laughing out loud, comedy level, but at totally organic character humour. It means you are so entertained throughout its rather long running time. The other big surprise is Thanos himself. Normally, I hate CGI characters but somehow they have made Thanos and Josh Brolin work enough to give the character an actual arc. This is one of the better MCU villains and I never thought I would write that.The stakes are real, the charisma levels are amazing, it is like "Oceans 28" and I can't wait for the sequel...that says an enormous amount considering the challenges this film faced.

Nebraska's Capitol Masterpiece
It's a Capitol like no other. Nebraska's Capitol is a national historic landmark ... a masterpiece of art and architecture, and the spirit of everything Nebraskan.
"Nebraska's Capitol Masterpiece" explores the enduring nature of Nebraska's statehouse and how its visionary design portrays Nebraska's people, its history, and democracy.
The program examines how the Capitol was envisioned by a renowned creative team - architect Bertram Goodhue, sculptor Lee Lawrie, muralist Hildreth Meiere, and University of Nebraska philosopher Hartley Burr Alexander. The inspiration behind the building's architectural sculpture, sage inscriptions, and majestic mosaics makes the statehouse "Nebraska's Capitol Masterpiece."

AMRA Research Cafe: The Oldest Quran, July 16th 2016, Birmingham
April 16, 2016 October 23, 2016 mussawarahmad
AMRA research cafe attendees in the ‘Faith in Birmingham’ gallery
The Birmingham Qur’an manuscript is, undeniably, a magnificently rare item. Dated to between 568 and 645 AD, it is quite possibly the oldest surviving Qur’anic manuscript known anywhere in the world. Somewhat remarkably, it was discovered last year in the Cadbury Research Library at Birmingham University. Yes, the Cadbury, the famed chocolatier was based in Birmingham and an avid collector of ancient manuscripts from across the world. Fortuitously for AMRA, Birmingham was within reach for a research cafe. Unfortunately, however, this manuscript is only on display until 3rd August, after which it is unknown when it will be shown again to the public.
Given this knowledge, AMRA decided to act and benefit from this rare chance to witness what is a vital piece of Islamic history, one which potentially connects directly to the earliest days of Islam. On Saturday 16th July, AMRA took the opportunity to view this incredible manuscript, before it returns to the care and study of the Cadbury Research Library.
Immediately the enthusiasm was self-evident, as Khuddam from Sheffield and Manchester in the north, through to the southern coast in Southampton, hastily signed up to ensure their participation. The original allocation of 30 was pushed up to 40 as a result, whilst MTA International, Voice of Islam radio and the Review of Religions all had representatives present.
Dr. Rebecca Bridgman presenting the Birmingham Qur’an Manuscript
The presence of Dr Rebecca Bridgman added to the special nature and prestige of this AMRA research cafe. Rebecca is the curator responsible for this Qur’an display in the Birmingham Museum and Art gallery, and had graciously agreed to provide us with an exclusive tour and presentation on the exhibit. Sandwiched in between was a presentation from AMRAs own archaeologist, Rizwan Safir, who spoke on how radiocarbon dating works, and the issues surrounding the age of the Birmingham Qur’an.
The research presentations only enhanced the sense of gravity attributed to this manuscript. At the end of the formal presentations, Rebecca guided us through the museum and into the ‘Faith in Birmingham’ gallery, to see the exhibit. The anticipatory demeanour of the attendees was palpable, as everyone cautiously crowded around the small exhibit to have a prolonged viewing. Rebecca stayed with us throughout, happily answering questions as the solemnity and intimacy of the exhibit captured those viewing it.
Attendees gather around the exhibit to get a closer look
The result was a unique and emotional experience. The feedback from those that attended was evidence enough of the extraordinary nature of this special event. “I feel honoured and humbled to be here” was the most common response. One attendee simply replied “Alhamdulillah” several times.
As the event drew to a close and all returned to Birmingham Daarul Barakat Mosque for Zohr and lunch, there came a chance to reflect. So what had we learnt?
Does it date to the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw)?
The Prophet Muhammad (saw) lived from 570-632 AD. This manuscript is dated from 568-645 AD. The first issue which comes to mind is of course the range of radiocarbon dates provided. This is common for radiocarbon dating, as the further something dates back in history, the wider the range and degree of accuracy. Some scholars have wrongly pointed towards the earliest date in the range to suggest that the Qur’an predates the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). This is frankly wrong, and something Rebecca pointed out during her presentation.
Rizwan Safir speaking on how radiocarbon dating works, and the issues regarding the Birmingham Qur’an
The reason is that there are a number of factors which must be considered when looking at the dates provided. Firstly, what was tested for radiocarbon dating was the parchment itself, which is a piece of animal skin usually prepared for writing. It is common for parchment to have been prepared, but not written on until sometime later. The ink on this parchment may well have been written many years after the animal was slaughtered, but ink cannot be sampled as only organic material (anything living) is datable. However, the style of writing (known as Hejazi) as well as the lack of diacritics (meaning vowels, which were standardised at the time of Hadhrat Uthman after 644 AD), all suggest this to be from the very earliest days of Islam. As Professor David Thomas – Professor of Christianity and early Islam at Birmingham University – has stated, this “could well take us back to within a few years of the actual founding of Islam.”
Why is this in Birmingham?
How has what is quite possibly the oldest Qur’anic manuscript ended up in Birmingham? Fortunately, documentary evidence has allowed us to retrace its path from over 1300 years ago in Arabia, through to modern day Midlands, UK. As alluded to above, it begins with Edward Cadbury who collected ancient manuscripts related to faith. Cadbury was a Quaker Christian with an interest in understanding faiths around the world, and was keen for the people of Birmingham to share in that knowledge. He employed a man called Alphonse Mingana in the 1930s to collect such manuscripts, who in turn bought this particular example from a dealer in Leiden, the Netherlands.
Dr. Rebecca Bridgman guiding AMRA on a tour of the ‘Faith in Birmingham’ gallery
It was unknown where this Qur’an was before its acquisition in Leiden, until an almost identical example was found in Paris, with the exact same style of writing and binding down its spine. The Paris example had detailed evidence tracing back to a mosque in Egypt – the mosque of Amr ibn al-As – and so it became clear that the Birmingham Qur’an must have been held in the same location. Thus, this delicate parchment travelled from Makkah or Medina, into Cairo, through to Leiden and eventually, via Edward Cadbury and Alphose Mingana, to Birmingham where it currently rests.
How was it discovered?
Alba Fedeli, an Italian researcher, was handling the Birmingham Manuscript when it immediately conjured a sense of familiarity. It had reminded her of a similar parchment housed at the Bibliotech National in Paris. As mentioned previously, the Paris manuscript derives from one of the oldest mosques in the world, in Cairo. Hence when Fedeli compared the two manuscripts in scrutinous detail, it was clear that this was something special. It had the same handwriting, and even the fragments were remarkably similar. Minute pieces from the manuscript were then submitted for radiocarbon dating, revealing the true origin of this Qur’an.
The Birmingham Qur’an manuscript
A reminder that the Birmingham Qur’an is only on display until August 3rd 2016. See the poster below from the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. Don’t miss out on what is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Molecular testing for Lynch syndrome in people with colorectal cancer: systematic reviews and economic evaluation
Snowsill, Tristan, Coelho, Helen, Huxley, Nicola, Jones-Hughes, Tracey, Briscoe, Simon, Frayling, Ian M. and Hyde, Chris 2017. Molecular testing for Lynch syndrome in people with colorectal cancer: systematic reviews and economic evaluation. Health Technology Assessment 21 (51) , pp. 1-280. 10.3310/hta21510
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3310/hta21510
Background Inherited mutations in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair (MMR) genes lead to an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), gynaecological cancers and other cancers, known as Lynch syndrome (LS). Risk-reducing interventions can be offered to individuals with known LS-causing mutations. The mutations can be identified by comprehensive testing of the MMR genes, but this would be prohibitively expensive in the general population. Tumour-based tests – microsatellite instability (MSI) and MMR immunohistochemistry (IHC) – are used in CRC patients to identify individuals at high risk of LS for genetic testing. MLH1 (MutL homologue 1) promoter methylation and BRAF V600E testing can be conducted on tumour material to rule out certain sporadic cancers. Objectives To investigate whether testing for LS in CRC patients using MSI or IHC (with or without MLH1 promoter methylation testing and BRAF V600E testing) is clinically effective (in terms of identifying Lynch syndrome and improving outcomes for patients) and represents a cost-effective use of NHS resources. Review methods Systematic reviews were conducted of the published literature on diagnostic test accuracy studies of MSI and/or IHC testing for LS, end-to-end studies of screening for LS in CRC patients and economic evaluations of screening for LS in CRC patients. A model-based economic evaluation was conducted to extrapolate long-term outcomes from the results of the diagnostic test accuracy review. The model was extended from a model previously developed by the authors. Results Ten studies were identified that evaluated the diagnostic test accuracy of MSI and/or IHC testing for identifying LS in CRC patients. For MSI testing, sensitivity ranged from 66.7% to 100.0% and specificity ranged from 61.1% to 92.5%. For IHC, sensitivity ranged from 80.8% to 100.0% and specificity ranged from 80.5% to 91.9%. When tumours showing low levels of MSI were treated as a positive result, the sensitivity of MSI testing increased but specificity fell. No end-to-end studies of screening for LS in CRC patients were identified. Nine economic evaluations of screening for LS in CRC were identified. None of the included studies fully matched the decision problem and hence a new economic evaluation was required. The base-case results in the economic evaluation suggest that screening for LS in CRC patients using IHC, BRAF V600E and MLH1 promoter methylation testing would be cost-effective at a threshold of £20,000 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for this strategy was £11,008 per QALY compared with no screening. Screening without tumour tests is not predicted to be cost-effective. Limitations Most of the diagnostic test accuracy studies identified were rated as having a risk of bias or were conducted in unrepresentative samples. There was no direct evidence that screening improves long-term outcomes. No probabilistic sensitivity analysis was conducted. Conclusions Systematic review evidence suggests that MSI- and IHC-based testing can be used to identify LS in CRC patients, although there was heterogeneity in the methods used in the studies identified and the results of the studies. There was no high-quality empirical evidence that screening improves long-term outcomes and so an evidence linkage approach using modelling was necessary. Key determinants of whether or not screening is cost-effective are the accuracy of tumour-based tests, CRC risk without surveillance, the number of relatives identified for cascade testing, colonoscopic surveillance effectiveness and the acceptance of genetic testing. Future work should investigate screening for more causes of hereditary CRC and screening for LS in endometrial cancer patients.

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in _simpleads_adgroup_settings() (line 343 of /home/pdccourier/www/www/sites/all/modules/simpleads/includes/simpleads.helper.inc).
February 26, 1923 to July 28, 2018
Noraline Milda Lydia Lamborn, age 95, of Monona, passed away July 28, 2018, at Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon, Iowa, following a brief illness. Noraline M. L. Borcherding was born February 26, 1923, in Osterdock, Iowa, the daughter of Gustav and Mabel (Lundt) Borcherding. She was baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Guttenberg on April 29, 1923, confirmed at Highland Lutheran Church in Elkader on December 18, 1938, and attended rural Clayton County Schools. Following her schooling, she worked as a housekeeper for rural area families. She also worked at the Battery Factory in Dubuque, Iowa before marrying Lloyd V. Lamborn.
On December 27, 1944, she married Lloyd V. Lamborn at the Evangelical United Brethren parsonage in Monona, Iowa. They rented a farm north of Luana from Doc Kettelkamp to start their farming career. In 1951, they bought their first farm on Hickory Creek. In 1963, they added their next farm, the Lamborn Family Farm, originally established in 1857, north of Luana. They attended the Luana Methodist Church until it closed. They then joined the Garden City United Methodist Church now known as the Living Faith United Methodist Parish in Monona, where Noraline was a member of the United Methodist Women. They retired from farming and moved to their house in Monona in 2001.
Lloyd and Noraline were both members of the Merry Mixers Square Dance Club and Round Dance Club. They also enjoyed their various card clubs. Noraline was a member of the Garden City Garden Club in Monona for several years, participating in their annual flower shows and also taking flower arrangements to the Allamakee County Fair. She received numerous awards for her arrangements. Noraline was also a member of the Franklin Homemakers Club, gathering monthly in one of the members’ homes. After Lloyd’s death in December 2006, Noraline continued living in their house in Monona until moving to Garden View Senior Living in May 2016. Noraline enjoyed spending time with family, attending her grand- and great-grandchildren’s events, cooking, baking, and gardening. Noraline was loved dearly and will be missed greatly.
Survivors include daughter, Linda Bernhard (Dean) Monona, Iowa, son, Larry Lamborn, (Jane) Luana, Iowa, daughter, Nola Gail, Estes Park, Colorado, daughter, Noreen Johnson, (Scott) New Holstein, Wisconsin, and daughter, Rita Goettler, (Eric) of Central City, Iowa; 13 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Ruth Borcherding of Waukon, several nieces, and a nephew.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Lloyd; her granddaughter-in-law, Terri Miller; her sister, Anita Brainard and four brothers, Arthur and infants Lavern, Virgil, and Gus Roy Borcherding, and nephew Jim Brainard.
Pallbearers are her grandsons Brian J. Miller, Brent Miller, Alan Lamborn, Mark Lamborn, Matt Quandahl, and Andrew Goettler. Honorary pallbearers include all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A visitation was held Tuesday, July 31, 2018, from 5-7 pm at Leonard-Grau Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Monona, Iowa and one hour before services at the church on Wednesday.
Funeral Services will be at 3 pm on Wednesday, August 1, 2018, at Living Faith United Methodist Parish, Monona, Iowa with Rev. Deb Parkison as the officiant. Burial will follow at Luana Cemetery, Luana, Iowa.

BasEl, Strabag, DCH to Partner
Dec. 11 2007 00:00
KIEV -- Billionaire Oleg Deripaska's Basic Element holding, Austria's Strabag, and Ukraine's DCH Group set up a joint construction venture whose projects will include bridges and roads in Ukraine, Strabag said.
The three companies have equal stakes in Strabag Ukraine, Strabag said Wednesday. The venture will also build "commercial and residential property, new cement works, and invest in production of aggregates," the statement said.
"Ukraine, Russia and other markets in the region are very dynamic and promising, and we have large hopes for our future there," Strabag CEO Hans Peter Haselsteiner said in the statement. More than 11 percent of Strabag's orders come from Russia, he said. Strabag Ukraine will start working and appoint its CEO at the beginning of next year.

They’re Here and They’re Queer: Docs at Inside Out
Posted on May 22nd, 2019 • Comments
Vision Portraits is one of the doc highlights at this year’s Inside Out LGBT Film Festival
Toronto’s Inside Out LGBT Film Festival starts Thursday! The annual event brings the dearest and queerest films to Toronto, including an opening night event with the Elton John biopic Rocketman, which just sent Cannes on fire.
The fest features a healthy dose of docs putting queer stories by queer filmmakers on Toronto screens. The docs reflect a range of LGBTQ experiences with historical accounts, biographies, thoughtful calls for inclusion, and good old-fashioned campy fun. Here are some docs highlights at Inside Out this year:
Alternative Artists: Vision Portraits
POV is especially proud to support Inside Out as a co-presenter of the documentary Vision Portraits from director Rodney Evans. Vision Portraits is a personal essay from Evans as he begins to lose his sight and confronts his future within a visual medium. Evans, who directed the Sundance award winner Brother to Brother (2004) and the feature documentary The Unveiling (1996), situates his story within the experiences of other blind artists. The doc comes to Toronto after screening at SXSW where The Hollywood Reporter called it a “deeply personal essay” and “endlessly thought-provoking.”
Vision Portraits screens Monday, May 27 at 7:00 PM with director Rodney Evans in attendance.
Gay Icons: Halston
Bust out your most fabulous threads for Halston! This bio-doc about late fashionista Roy Halston Frowick (aka Halston) gives the designer his due. Director Frédéric Tcheng (Dior and I, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel) tells the story of the style icon who revamped American fashion in the 1970s by decking out discotheques and dance floors with the hottest and slickest clothes of the era. Featuring a cast of celebs including Liza Minelli, Marisa Berenson, Joel Schumacher, and a who’s who of the 70s’ style scene in an amazing range of archival material, the film charts the dramatic rise and fall of an emperor and his new clothes with a mix of vintage and contemporary fabric.
Halston screens Wednesday, May 29 at 9:15 PM.
Docs on Dykes: Dykes in the Streets
Director Almerinda Travassos offers a treasure trove of archival footage that charts the history of LGBTQ rights from the early 1980s. This mid-length doc looks at the power of the Pride Parade for enabling representation and empowering communities, but it also uses the event as a forum for discussion as activists from the queer community ask where Pride needs to go. This screening features an extended Q&A that aims to tackle these issues heading into Pride Month.
Dykes in the Streets screens on Saturday, May 25 at 12:15 PM.
Fest Faves: Drag Kids
Catch an audience favourite from Hot Docs in case you missed it as Drag Kids gets an encore at Inside Out. The film might be a smart bet for audiences eager to explore the experiences of youths navigating the queer spectrum to find the right form of expression that fits their bodies and personalities. Director Megan Weinberg follows a handful of kids as they dress in drag and find the support of their parents by trying on and performing different gender identities. Reviewing Drag Kids at Hot Docs, Maurie Alioff wrote that the “film offers a rare glimpse into an unusual world that has received scant attention.”
Drag Kids screens Friday, May 24 at 5:00 PM
Trans Experiences: Jack and Yaya
A number of documentaries share transgender experiences by focusing on the surgery and physical transformation of a subject, but directors Mary Hewey and Jen Bagley add an important perspective to the mix with Jack and Yaya. The film looks at the role of family and friendship in transitions. The film follows Jack Milligan as he readies for gender-affirming surgery and it provides insight into the bureaucratic nightmare his long-time friend Yaya faces as she tries to change her name. All the while, the film focuses on the strength of their bond and the support of their families that helps them along the way.
Jack and Yaya screens on Tuesday, May 28 at 4:30 PM with directors Mary Hewey and Jen Bagley in attendance with subject Jack Milligan.
Camp Classics: You Don’t Nomi
Bring your chips, paint your nails, and get ready to strut your sassy dance moves! Film fans from different places can debate one of the best worst movies of all time as director Jeffrey McHale revisits the critically reviled and Razzie winning turkey Showgirls. The film features insightfully humorous reflections from film critics, including POV contributor and Showgirls: It Doesn’t Suck author Adam Nayman, who argue that Showgirls is an under-appreciated gem. Situating Showgirls within the filmography of director Paul Verhoeven and the Saved by the Bell -ography of star Elizabeth Berkley, the film uncovers some extraordinary insights, yet captures the magic of the film by showing how one can love Showgirls regardless of its objective quality. This breezy feat of historical revisionism looks at a camp classic anew to understand everything that went wrong behind the camera and in front of it to create a film that is so spectacularly bad that delights audiences nearly 25 years after its release. And, yes, they discuss the pool scene!
You Don’t Nomi screens Friday, May 31 at 9:00 PM.
Stay tuned for coverage of these films and other Inside Out docs throughout the fest!

Teens and the Journal Agree: Vine Is Dying and Going to Facebook Heaven
By Madison Malone Kircher
When it launched back in 2013, Vine took off at an explosive rate — especially among that most sought-after of mythical creatures, the teen. It was hard to find a teenager who wasn’t keyed into the six-second video platform. Vine-native “stars” like Brittany Furlan and Logan Paul started making thousands of dollars creating branded content on the app. And the phrase “on fleek” entered mainstream vernacular, thanks to a now-infamous clip from one Peaches Monroee that has been looped 42,000,000 times and counting.
But now, it seems like things might be going the other way for Vine, according to a story today in The Wall Street Journal. The app, which just a year ago ranked in the top five in the Apple app store, has fallen to the 200th spot.
Marketers and ad buyers that paid creators to make “sponsored” Vines have soured on the app, which is owned by Twitter, and are directing dollars toward competitors like Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram. Video creators frustrated with Vine have followed the ad money, and some of the top “Viners” rarely post anymore as they focus on their other social media accounts.
Or, as one New York City high school student told me, “Vine is kinda irrelevant now because so many new things have come out and Vine hasn’t really updated anything.” The new things, of course, include Snapchat stories, Instagram’s 60-second video allotment, and most recently, Facebook’s emphasis on video, video, and more video … with a side of live video.
While Facebook and Instagram are “extremely popular,” Vine is just “semi-popular,”a Maryland teenager named Cole told me. For scale, he notes that Tumblr is also only “semi-popular.”
“Vine is mostly full of ads and people promoting other pages now,” Caleb, a 15-year-old from Michigan told me via Twitter DM. “It’s not as popular and full of funny Vines as it used to be.” Caleb thinks he’s the only one of his friends still using the app.
Chandler, 15, was another teen who told me she feels like she is the last Vine holdout in her crew. “So many kids at my school used to use it and now they never do,” the Colorado student said. “I think the videos on Vine are so funny, but it seems to be only me using it!”
It’s not that the format suddenly stopped working; there is clearly still a market for well-executed short video. (Here I point to YouTube’s new five-second bumper ads, which rolled out earlier this month.) It’s just that people, namely teens, aren’t looking for those videos on Vine anymore. Many of the high school and college students I spoke to said they still watch Vines (and who can blame them, Vines often involve a heartthrob, a cute animal, something exploding, or a combination of all three), but they don’t bother wasting the phone space on the app.
Instead, they watch them on other platforms — especially Facebook, to which Viners will often directly upload their content. Why? As Vine star Simone Shepherd told the Journal, it’s where the audience is: Some of her Facebook videos can generate between five and ten million views. (This is thanks in no small part to the fact that Facebook has been heavily promoting so-called “native,” or in-platform video on its News Feed, heavily weighting it so it appears in more people’s feeds. Like news media, Vine stars may soon find themselves utterly beholden to Facebook, and similarly S.O.L. if and when the News Feed sorting changes again.)
There’s also the issue of the platform’s popularity with brands and major companies. “We’re still seeing a ton of big brands in this space,” Darren Lachtman, co-founder of Niche, a combo talent and advertising agency that specializes in social media platforms like Vine, told the Journal. While that might be true, Vine consumers have also caught on to the game. “Vine stars only do advertisements. It’s so annoying,” Chandler explained. “They don’t make their own content and they only make Vines about M&M’s.”
Or as my younger sister, 22, put it via text message, “Nothing feels original like when Vine first got popular. It’s just whiny teens getting paid to feature products. #Spon.” (“Spon” is youth speak for “sponsored content,” or a post that a Viner is paid by a company to promote.)
Of course, the app hasn’t died (on the Vine, there I made the joke) yet. Plenty of people are still looping through videos every day, high school kids included. “I like Vine a lot and most of my friends use it. We all love it, it’s hilarious,” Sam, 14, from North Carolina, told me.
Though when I reached out to Sam’s older brother (a friend from college) to ask whether I could text his sibling a few questions about Vine, Sam’s brother said “sure,” but that texting wouldn’t be the easiest way to reach him.
Instead, I had to add Sam on Snapchat.

Chevron action April 20
March 18, 2012 at 9:08 pm.
Posted by Environmental-Justice-Committee
Categories: Environmental Justice Committee
The General Assembly of Occupy Oakland endorses and co-sponsors the April 20, 2012 demonstration against Chevron Richmond. The demonstration will be held on Friday evening, April 20, beginning at 5:00 p.m. at the Richmond BART station and marching to a rally at the Richmond Civic Center.
This demonstration adds to the ongoing community activism in Richmond directed at the ways Chevron has been a bad neighbor. Chevron is a perfect example of how the 1% destroys the health and well-being of the 99%. In the case of Richmond, this includes major pollution. Chevron is the largest industrial greenhouse gas polluter in California. And Chevron is investigating using dirtier crude oil which would create even more pollution. There are periodic bad air alerts in Richmond and the ever-present danger of fires, flares and explosions.
In addition to pollution, Chevron endangers the community because of its greed. Chevron is attempting to get a refund of over 100 million in taxes it paid in Contra Costa County over a six year period. If Richmond and other governments have to pay this money to Chevron, it will have a devastating impact on services to residents.
Chevron doesn’t need the money. Its profits in 2011 were $27 billion.
Chevron is not a job-creator for the City of Richmond. Only 6.9% of the plant employees live in the city. Yet Chevron is attempting to control Richmond’s government by pouring vast sums of money into local elections. The mayor of Richmond is in the Green Party and there are two other strong progressives on the city council, but during elections Chevron spends millions opposing them, trying to replace them with politicians sympathetic to the 1%. Yet the progressive mayor and council members who take no corporate money have prevailed because the community is with them.
These are some of the issues that will mobilize us on April 20.
Occupy Oakland will join other sponsors of this march including Occupy Richmond, Occupy Berkeley, Occupy Earth Day, the West County Toxics Coalition, the Bay Area Sierra Club and others. In addition to passing this endorsement, hopefully many of us from Occupy Oakland will take BART to Richmond on April 20 to support our neighbors to the north in their struggles with toxic, greedy Chevron.

Washington Astilbe
Astilbe japonica 'Washington'
Washington Astilbe flowers
Plant Height: 18 inches
Other Names: False Spirea
Washington Astilbe has masses of beautiful plumes of white flowers at the ends of the stems in early summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its ferny compound leaves remain dark green in colour with distinctive deep purple edges throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Washington Astilbe is a dense herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Washington Astilbe is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Washington Astilbe will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity extending to 24 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 32 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 24 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.
This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the leaves in alkaline soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone over the growing season to conserve soil moisture. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
Washington Astilbe is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
Disclaimer - This Plant Database is an online catalog representing many of the varieties that we carry over the course of the season, and is intended for informational purposes only. Inventory varies seasonally, so we cannot guarantee that every plant will be in stock at all times - please contact your favourite GardenWorks location directly for current availability. It does not include our entire inventory of plants, so be sure to visit GardenWorks to see varieties that may not be represented on this list.

Michelle Norris: How to Merge Mission and Money to Create a Mega Event
It’s time for episode 30 of the Relentless: Real People, Real Results, Real World podcast!
In this episode I welcome in Michelle Norris – PaleoFX co-creator, chef extraordinaire, owner and founder of Instinct Catering Events, and founding partner of ID Life.
Listen to the episode on iTunes or on Stitcher.
Download the episode via this link.
Tune in via the player below:
SHOWNOTES:
In hindsight: “I would build our infrastructure first if I had it to do all over again. We did this as a hobbyist type model. We didn’t do this as a business. It was just to spread the message, get the movement going, and fill a need. That’s what we did. We saw a need and we filled it.”
What are examples of better infrastructure? “Having protocols in place, having a hierarchy, and knowing who has what answer. What happens is 20 of us are emailed and just 1 person should have been emailed.”
Roger: “Everyone gets hit with everything and everyone wears down in the process. Take things off of each others’ plates on focus on each others’ strengths.”
On efficiency: “We weren’t built efficiently because we didn’t know it [PaleoFX] would get this big and it would turn into an actual business.”
Taking action on advice from Robb Wolf: Incorporating digestive enzymes and turning off phone notifications.
A lesson from organizing sponsors and the expo floor: “Engaging with them on what their expectations are and meeting them…because they’re spending very good money to be there…It’s managing their expectations too. It’s finding out exactly what they’re expecting and letting them know if some of those things are not within your capability and letting them know what is and trying to go above and beyond.”
Roger: “So much of the enjoyment of an experience is what you expect going into it.”
A lesson from organizing speakers: “Without the speakers we wouldn’t have a conference. Making sure they are happy and that they get what they need.”
Have you dealt with divas? “This is a people business and that’s one of the best parts of it. But the toughest part of it is that it’s a people business. In every business you have a diva to deal with in some aspect.”
Most memorable food/drink consumed at PaleoFX:
Food: Barefoot Provisions Pork Rinds and Pili Nuts
Drink: NorCal Margarita “That’s the drink of the weekend.” And the variation with added kombucha.
One thing you did that you didn’t know you could do: “PaleoFX as a whole.”
How do you determine who takes the blame during a crisis? “In my opinion, it’s always my ultimate responsibility. It’s our show.”
On sticking with your dreams: “We went into personal debt after the first PaleoFX, but we knew in our hearts that it was something that was needed and something we believed in.”
On learning to respect money: “The more money that you make, the more people that you can touch, employ, and have involved. That resonated with us. That’s when it turned into a serious business.”
On price setting: “We set our ticket prices at the expectation of the public. We intentionally kept our ticket prices low because we didn’t want a high threshold to entry. Our position isn’t to make a lot of money. Our mission is to further the movement and bring in as many people as possible so they get education and empowered so that they become their own health advocates.”

Pam Leary: Strength, Positivity, and Protein Coffee
In this episode I welcome in Pam Leary – Relentless Fitness Strength Authority, personal trainer, aspiring physical therapist, dancer, and drinker of protein coffee.
Paying it forward and finding a charity that you believe in.
Pam’s Protein Coffee:
Step #1: Mock creamer – mix tablespoon of protein powder + tablespoon of water in bottom of a cup
Step #2: Pour hot coffee over mixture
On practicing what you preach: “Usually I like to torture myself with what I torture them with.”
On inspiration: “Basically any DMX song is enough to get me riled up.”
On the importance of strength exercise: “So many females out there are spinning their wheels doing cardio and abs and cardio and abs and eating less food. It’s just not working for them, and they’re wondering why.”
On teamwork in dancing: “I’m on that treadmill and I want to die, but my teammate next to me is still going. Then when I’m on the dance floor, and I’m so tired or I feel like I can’t push through, you have that same team feel. I’ve always loved that.”
On making a hard decision to shift out of dance: “It was a really hard decision to say that I’m going to stop doing what I thought that I was born to do and what I thought that I was put on this Earth to do and what everyone is telling me I should do. The day that I said ‘ok, I’m going to transition and it’s alright’ I feel like a big weight lifted, and I haven’t looked back ever since.”
Experiencing injuries in dancing and having a timely hip pop contribute to changing her course.
Advice to those with a nagging injury: “Always go get seen. So often people let it rest for a week, and then they go back to it. Get an eval with a doctor or a PT. You can Google all you want but it’s not going to give you the right answer.”
On resting: “Understand that rest is necessary…Either you’re out for a month while you’re recouping or this is going to be a nagging issue for the rest of your life. Which one are you willing to sacrifice?”
Roger: “No matter what profession you’re in, no matter what your career passion is, body awareness will serve you, especially as you get older.”
On instant gratification: “Everyone wants to know what they’re getting out of it right now, and they want to feel what they’re getting out of it now…In our industry it’s really hard to convince people that what they’re doing is going to work because they can’t see it right away and they have to look into the future for it.”
On following an entire protocol: “This is not a la carte fitness. You follow the plan and you stay consistent and you stay patient.”
On evolving your workouts: “Make sure you’re progressing. Change things up. Add some weight to your exercises or add some reps.”
On enjoying the process: “What makes me so happy to be in this business is I love the delayed gratification. I love thinking wow, three months ago you could not do that. Two months ago you’re pants did not look like that. I get excited for that.”
On client measuring sticks: “Focus on your performance metrics and consistency in those. I promise you if we continue to crush the performance metrics before you know it those physical ones you want will be there.”
On her career path: “Being able to combine those two things [personal training and physical therapy] and show people how movement can be medicine is going to be huge. It’s a big trend coming up in the world, and I want to be a part of it.”
Simple advice: “If you’re not passionate about something, then don’t do it.”
Roger: “We all have bad days, but when you show up at my service oriented job, you have to turn it on. That’s the name of the game…If I bring my baggage into a day, and I can’t turn it on, I’m a shitty professional.”
On positivity: “No one likes a Negative Nancy or a Debbie Downer.”
On public accountability: “If you’re afraid to do something, tell someone. Tell everyone.”
On the impact of strength: “Physical strength is so empowering mentally and physically, and it can do some much for you – your figure and your mind.”
Roger: “If you are high performing in one area of your life, that is transferable. For all of those high performing people out there who struggle with fitness, you are a step away. You are a well structured program and accountability away from becoming a high performing fitness person. You have that mindset. It’s just a matter of prioritizing and actualizing the fitness side of things.”
“Stop looking at other people’s inspirational stories and become your own.”
Don’t take on too much: “It’s ok to say no. In the end if I say yes to someone and then I have to back out of it, I look more like the jackass…You can’t be Superman. You can’t do everything.”

RELENTLESS ACTION:
Mind: “Reconnect with why you’re doing what you’re doing. If you don’t remember why you’re doing it, you’re not going to want to do it. You’re not going to stay consistent if it’s not important to you. What is your goal? How important is it to you? Is what you’re doing aligning with that?”
Body: “If you have an injury, address it. If you have a light ache, address it. Don’t let it get to the point where you spend months and months in therapy.”
Business: “Be your own brand…What’s the first thing people are going to think when your name comes up and how do you want to represent yourself?”

Rebecca Barber: Running 100 Miles, Following Rocky’s Footsteps, and Exploring Social Media
In this episode I welcome in Rebecca Barber – Wharton School social media guru, ultra-runner, Rocky 50K creator, Back on My Feet supporter, and self-proclaimed foodie.
Starting the day with water in the morning: “I don’t like coffee. This absurd energy comes naturally.”
On podcasts: “I found that my longer runs I stick to podcasts because I can focus on the words and it’s harder for me to have my mind wander.”
On social media: “By the time a book is published, it’s outdated. I’m constantly on blogs…Social media is constantly changing.”
Where did the running begin? “She [mom] said that I’ve always been a runner…in pre-school I was always running across the schoolyard.”
On running: “It’s given me so much, and it’s helped me learn who I am as a person.”
Embracing a variety of sports – karate, tennis, crew, etc. – and organically and consistently returning to running.
Being inspired by her track coach to run her first marathon: “I trained all summer for it, and it was horrible and awful. When I finished I said never again, and that night I was already looking for future marathons.”
Growing bored of marathon distance and progressing to ultra-running: “I just didn’t have any fire for training…I have to actually love what I’m doing to actually put the time into it.”
On the physical risk of running: “There is research that shows that runners have less incident of arthritis in the knees than non-runners because they’re using the joints.”
On respecting your body: “My biggest thing – and this is what I tell everybody – is to listen to your body. That is huge. I want to be a runner until I die, and I really hope I can do it. So I listen to my body. When something hurts I take time off.”
Tips on mitigating damage: improved sleep via earlier bedtime and tracking app, strength training, yoga/pilates, varying tempo, choosing appropriate footwear.
Leveraging the “free fitness movement” November Project and BeWellPhilly’s BeWOW workouts to supplement her runs.
On hiring a running coach: “It’s hard to get yourself to recognize that you need to do more than running to be good at running.”
Becoming an Altra shoe ambassador and easing into minimalist footwear: “You feel good early on in a run, and you think you can do more and more. It’s important to let your body adjust…there’s no fun in being injured.”
On being a foodie: “One reason that I love running is that I can eat the doughnut. If you can’t eat a doughnut after you run a marathon, when can you eat a doughnut?”
On nutritional self-awareness: “I’ve learned that I do not succeed well when cutting food groups out. When I cut one out, it’s all I want.”
On food judgement: “People can get really judgy with food, and it’s hard for people to step off because it’s so personal…sometimes people can think they have the right answers, and it’s really just the right answer for them.”
Her most basic motivation: “I want people to live their healthiest lives.”
Roger: “Offer suggestions but not mandates to others and allow them to find their own way.”
What are you running from? “I think it’s running to things in so many ways. It’s a pillar in my life that has brought me so much. For some people it’s knitting, for some it’s cooking. We all have our habits and hobbies.”
On the social nature of running: “I love going to run but mostly when it’s with people.”
Creating the Rocky 50K after inspiration from a Dan McQuade PhillyMag article. “It was calling my name. Someone had to organize it, and I wanted it to be me, and I wanted to be the first one there.”
Advice to those considering an idea: “If you really think you want to do it, you don’t want to look back and think ‘I could have done it’ and someone else is doing it. Or even worse someone else is doing it but doing it poorly.”
First step to creating the run: “I created a Facebook group.”
Getting big, landing on the cover of the Wall Street Journal and in Runner’s World, and receiving a cease and desist letter from MGM Studios.
Talking intellectual property, keeping the race name, but changing the logo.
On event size: “I’m happy there’s a small, super passionate group. That’s better than a large group that’s ‘meh’.”
Incorporating Back on My Feet and collecting thousands of pounds of donated shoes: “There has to be a way to give back.”
Drawing inspiration from the homeless population: “If they’re living in a homeless shelter, and they’re coming out at 5:30 in the morning in the cold, heat, rain, and snow, then I have zero excuse.”
Managing a variety of social media for the Wharton School: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
On knowing your audience: “The biggest thing is to understand your product and your interest. Each network has its strengths for different audiences.”
What led you to social media? “I got into social media because it’s something I love to do personally, and then I realized I could do it professionally. A lot of what I’ve learned is my experience exploring and being open.”
On your approach: “Be human. It’s so important to be human…It’s understanding your brand, your business, and who you are. Your brand could be you.”
Facebook: “It’s a place that people go where they have their friends and family. It’s way more personal than most other networks. Brands are constantly struggling to get in…provide what your fans actually want.”
On the importance of visuals: “When you’re competing against grandma’s photos and adorable puppies you’ve gotta have visuals that are important.”
Facebook Live: “It’s a really fun way to show off the personality of the Wharton School.”
Instagram: “People are amazing photographers. It’s really hard to stand out. A lot of it is having visuals that are important, tapping into hashtags…finding people in your community to connect with, to follow, to take over your Instagram.”
Twitter: “It’s a customer service tool more than anything.”
Using Sprout Social, exploring Percolate as social media management tools, and using Schedugram to schedule Instagram posts.
LinkedIn: “It is so business-centric…connect with whoever you feel comfortable with and know that everyone is posting about business things.”
On prioritization: “You don’t have to be on everything. At some point there has to be a return on investment. You only have 24 hours in a day.”
On using data: “It’s important to look at insights if it’s something you’re doing professionally or to build a business…See what works. Test. Experiment.”
Snapchat: “I realized it’s really fun, and it’s a great way of posting pictures and connecting.”
On volume vs. engagement: “3 or 4 years ago volume was huge, but you want real fans that are actually engaging with you content…what matters is that the fans you have are engaging with you and connecting and commenting and liking and sharing. It’s important to gain that followership but have a valuable followership too.”

Why Gatorade and Paleo Don’t Work for Everyone
Listen to the episode on iTunes.
Wrapping up the current Relentless Transformation program and revamping a shorter version for later Spring.
A travel recap spanning the IDEA Fitness Conference and Gary Vaynerchuk 92Y genius event.
Several positive takeaways from IDEA:
Todd Durkin: “Put your blinders on.”
Trina Gray: The power of storytelling.
Vito La Fata: Targeting your resource consumption to your desired endgame.
Many important lessons from a presentation sponsored by the Gatorade Sports Science Institute that missed the (my) mark.
The importance of understanding context, knowing who you are, and applying what works.
Relentless Actions (all derived from #AskGaryvee quotes):
Mind: “You can’t be romantic about how things should be. To be effective and have an impact, you have to join and even embrace the world that actually is.”
Body: “If you want to move mountains, you’ve got to come with thunder.”
Business: “Ideas are worthless without the execution; execution is pointless without the ideas. You have to learn to prioritize properly and quickly identify what’s going to move you further ahead and what’s going to make you stall.”
What else? The freshly launched #AskGaryvee book!
Clifton Harski: How to Be a Badass
In this episode I welcome in Clifton Harski – Fitwall, Kettlebell Athletics, Animal Flow, and Movnat practitioner, coach/trainer, traveler, and gummy bear lover.
Morning restorative cardio: “”I think of it as warming me up for the day, repairing me for the day.”
Feeling tired and uninspired? “I eat gummy bears…and I go to the gym and have a sweet bro pump.”
The Power of Habit as recommended reading: “I’m paying increased attention to the power of habits in people’s daily lives…I think people need to be aware of what they fall into.”
Moving around the world every 2-3 years as a result of his Dad’s CIA job: “It gave me a unique viewpoint of the world compared to most people I know.”
On training: “I’m not ashamed to say I’d like to be better than other people at things. Training started out to be how can I be better? Then it became a fascination. The body is pretty cool. You do things to it, it adapts and becomes stronger, faster, and more resilient. Since then training keeps progressing into more and more interest into what we can do with different tools and what the results are.”
Having issues with gut bloating and tying it to bread and gluten after a 6-week experiment.
On creating BA training: “Be able. Be athletic. Be bad-ass.”
Becoming a Movnat coach and workshop instructor and traveling to teach 70-80 workshops in 2011.
Suffering a rare knee injury via deadlift (and later a torn labrum via barbell Turkish Getup and a torn lat via rings): “I would say that it was a good thing in that I learned about rehab, scaling back training, not chasing numbers. In the longterm for me and for my clients it was a good thing. For the pocketbook and pain for the summer it was less than a good thing.”
On lifting human beings: “Human getups are a way safer option than a barbell getup.”
Lower level aerobic conditioning (130-140 heart rate) benefiting recovery, sleep, and pain tolerance.
His aerobic conditioning prescription:
10-minutes 20-30 degree incline treadmill walk
10-minutes stepper
10-minutes rower
Travel recommendations:
Keep up aerobic base
Take your dose of Vitamin M – movement and mobility (e.g. Animal Flow in hotel room 10-30 minutes or find a yoga studio or travel with a lacrosse ball and hit trigger points)
Book a hotel near a Whole Foods
On dietary decisions: “I typically don’t eat wheat, vegetable oil, and soy. Whether it’s placebo or in my head or not, I feel better when I avoid them.”
9 elements to Fitwall training: push, pull, hinge, squat, step, resist movement in core, create movement in core, quadruped movement (on all 4s), hang.
The difference in training predominantly females in a group setting versus males.
The best way to progress somebody? “Doing the same thing with enough frequency to achieve adaptation and results versus doing a bunch of random stuff whenever the hell you feel like it.”
Incorporating heart rate training and providing personalized target heart rate zones.
Burying the calorie readout: “Calories burned in a workout are not terribly important in the grand scheme of life. What we’re interested in is breaking down the tissue in a way that causes it to build back up. If it builds back up and it’s more resilient then you can do more. Then you can work out more and then you can make more change. The actual calories you burn I don’t care about at all.”
3 pieces of workout advice: “The #1 most important thing is to find something that you enjoy doing because if you don’t enjoy it you won’t do it long-term. #2 you need to do some form of strength training. After that it’s a tie between aerobic training and dedicated mobility style training.”
Social media advice: Be active on it. Pick and medium and be consistent.
Not adding to the sea of noise online via repetition and only saying something when it’s poignant or different.
On individuality: “Figure out what works for you. You can’t read a book and try to do what the book says forever. You can read multiple books and pick up tips that have worked for other people and try them. If it works for you after a legitimate trial period then you’ve found something to do well. But if it doesn’t work for you don’t keep trying to make it work.”
Understanding the timing and context of advice: “Anyone that tells you to achieve balance, they have achieved balance after being unbalanced for a long period of time…You’re going to have to be out of balance for a little while to get to where you want to be before you can focus on being in balance.”
Endgame? Get FitWall to a couple hundred locations across the US. “I think what we’re offering is as good or better than anybody else. I believe we’ve built ourselves a platform that is scalable.”
Read Better Than Before, by Gretchen Rubin: “One of the things that I see as maybe the biggest problem in social media is that people are constantly comparing themselves to other people. They’re very worried about are they doing things right? They’re looking at what other people are doing and they think that’s what they should be doing. The number one thing is knowing yourself and being yourself. Do you son. You have to understand what it is you like, how you feel about things, and the way that you handle things in order to be successful for yourself.”

A Radical Profeminist
This blog exists to support liberatory collectivist activism that seeks to uproot patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism. It also acts to center the experiences, theories, and agendas of radical and feminist women of color.
Lesbian Existence in Japan: It's Not Accepted or Supported as much as Gay and Trans Existence is (which isn't much)
photograph of Kanako Otsuji is from here
Homosexuality in Japan, from Wikipedia, *here*.
Despite the recent trends that suggest a new level of tolerance, as well as open scenes in more cosmopolitan cities (such as Tokyo and Osaka), Japanese gay men and lesbian women often conceal their sexuality; with many even marrying persons of the opposite sex to avoid discrimination.
Main article: LGBT rights in Japan
Japan has no laws against homosexual activity, and has some legal protections for gay individuals. In addition, there are some legal protections for transgender individuals.
Consensual sex between adults of the same sex is legal, but some prefectures set the age of consent for same-sex sexual activity higher than for opposite-sex sexual activity.
While civil rights laws do not extend to protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation, some governments have enacted such laws. The government of Tokyo has passed laws that ban discrimination in employment based on sexual identity.
The major political parties express little public support for gay rights issues. Despite recommendations from the Council for Human Rights Promotion, the Diet has yet to take action on including sexual orientation in the country's civil rights code.
Some political figures, however, are beginning to speak publicly about their own homosexuality. Kanako Otsuji, an assemblywoman from Osaka, came out as a lesbian in 2005. Two years earlier, in 2003, Aya Kamikawa became the first openly transgender elected official in Tokyo, Japan.
A number of personalities who appear on television in Japan daily are gay or transgender, or cultivate such an image as part of their public persona.
In recent years, a small number of artists, nearly all male, have begun to speak publicly about their homosexuality. They often appear on various talk shows and other programmes. Dancer and tarento Kabachan, tarento Gakuseifuku Sakamoto, comedian Ken Maeda, and twin pop-culture critics Piko and Osugi are among these.
Akihiro Miwa, a drag queen and former lover of author Yukio Mishima, is the television advertisement spokesperson for many Japanese companies ranging from beauty to financial products and TEPCO. Kenichi Mikawa, a former pop idol singer who now blurs the line between male and female costuming and make-up, can also regularly be seen on various programs, as can crossdressing entertainer Peter. Singer-songwriter and actress Ataru Nakamura was one of the first transgendered personalities to become highly popular in Japan; in fact, sales of her music rose after she discussed her MTF gender reassignment surgery on the variety show Boku no Ongaku in 2006.
However, some non-gay entertainers have used stereotypical references to homosexuality to increase their profile. Razor Ramon Hard Gay (HG), a comedian, shot to fame after he began to appear in public wearing a leather harness, hot pants and cap. His outfit, name, and trademark pelvis thrusting and squeals earned him the adoration of fans and the scorn of many in the Japanese gay community.
Recently, Ai Haruna and Ayana Tsubaki, two high profile transsexual celebrities, have gained popularity and have been making the rounds on some very popular Japanese variety shows.
Famous LGBT bloggers have began to gain more traction with the Japanese public, even often attracting fans and readers from outside Japan: prime examples being "Agoe" (ｱｺﾞ江), "Utaguwa" (うたぐわ), and "Gomabukko" (ゴマブッ子).
A greater amount of gay and transgender characters have also begun appearing (with positive portrayals) on Japanese television, such as the highly successful Hanazakari no Kimitachi e and Last Friends television series.
Japanese culture has always been a part of my life. Part of my family is Japanese, and I maintain connection with those family members. They are not part of my white family-of-origin, most of whom I have little to no contact with. I grew up with a general regard and respect for Japan and Japanese people, which was unusual for whites of my generation in the U.S, who used to routinely make fun of Japanese people as "tourists with cameras" and other silly stereotypes. (Do U.S. whites really not go around country-hopping with cameras in hand?) '80s hits in the UK and the US, like "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors were deeply offensive to me and I hated hearing it or having to deal with white people thinking it was thematically funny or a good song. It's fucking racist as hell.
As a white Jew, I had to contend with the term "JAP" being used both derogatorily against people from Japan, not uncommonly uttered by white WWII vets stationed in East Asia, and as a term for "Jewish American Princess", which is anti-Semitic, sexist, and classist.
There remain many stereotypes of Japanese people in the U.S, and U.S. whites remain largely ignorant about East Asians, often confusing people of one nationality with another, with little concern or care. I hear whites say "Chinese" when they mean "Japanese" and vice versa, and there is little to no protest about such anti-East Asian racism here. The U.S., in other words, remains a very anti-Japanese society, in my view.
The history of human rights in Japan is quite different than in the U.S. While the white West has invaded and occupied aspects of Japanese life, most especially its economy and through military presence, Japan has kept its own culture distinct from the dominant white U.S. culture. As the dominant U.S. culture is pro-genocide, pro-gynocide, and heavily invested in ecocide as well, this determination to stay distinct is good, I think.
But this doesn't mean that Japan is a model society for girls, women, or lesbians in particular. Girls are exploited and sexualised in ways that are not even done so routinely in the U.S. Men are very entitled in Japan, including the white men who visit and live there, to have visual access to girls and sexual access to women. Marital rape isn't prosecuted. Battery is unchecked. Social services, including welfare for the unemployed, don't exist as they do in the U.S. And they exist inadequately in the U.S., except for the wealthy and for U.S. mega-corporations which, if they should go broke due to miserable managing, will find a government willing to give them billions of dollars in resources to support their survival and re-emergence. The poor have no such "luck". Corporations, it seems, do not need bootstraps with which to pull themselves up. They have bailouts instead.
This post concerns one particular group of oppressed women in Japanese society: lesbians, and the struggle for lesbian existence in Japan. Please click on the title to link back to the source website at Japan Today.

THE ZEIT GIST
Invisible minority
Japan's lesbian community in dual struggle for rights, acceptance
The mysteries surrounding this group have too often become false myths that stereotype the lives of lesbians. Very common is the belief that women become lesbians because of some traumatic experience they've had with a man.
"That's no more valid than asking a straight person if they had a bad experience with someone from the same gender and then become heterosexual," says Kim Oswalt, a Tokyo-based psychotherapist.
"Straight people know they are straight at a young age -- maybe even before having a sexual experience. The same could be said for lesbian and gays -- they may know their orientation at an early age.
"Internalized homophobia is when gays feel like they have to look and act straight to be invisible because there is a culture of repression," says Oswalt. "I have my doubts that the politics of assimilation strengthen the voice of any marginalized group."
On the other hand, even if someone is out of the closet, it's not easy to identify a person's sexual orientation by how they look.
Every Wednesday night, a snug and mellow little Shibuya bar hosts a night called Chestnut and Squirrel, or "kuri to risu" in Japanese. The air is filled with the smell of what organizers call "dyke food," the sounds of ice clinking in so-called "dyke drinks" and the chatter of over a dozen international women.
They may all be there for one common reason, but not one looks much like another.
Within the lesbian "community" are several pocket communities divided by members such as political activists, party girls who are into cruising the bar scene, career women or lesbians with children.
"Sometimes people think that just because two people are lesbians, they're going to get along," says American EV. "But the truth is, I'm not defined by 'being a lesbian.' I'm myself. Being gay is part of who I am, but it's not all of who I am. We all have something in common, but it's just one thing that we have in common. It's not a hobby, like 'I'm gay on Wednesday nights but I scuba dive on Saturdays.' "
Lesbians are all around. They're our nurses, our teachers and our Saturday scuba diving buddies. They're even our friends and our sisters. They just blend in really well, sometimes to the point of invisibility.
"Minority, minority, minority," says Olivia Moss, who wrote her thesis for Cambridge University on Japanese lesbianism in the 1990s.
"For foreign working women in Tokyo, the minority of being foreign, within the minority of being lesbian, within the minority of being a working woman, means that it's no surprise we're 'invisible' on a large scale.
Add to this the population who are able to be 'out' at work, and the minority chain just goes on and on and the numbers decrease with the chain."
As Japan has yet to pass same-gender rights or antidiscrimination laws, most women don't fully come out, thus feeding the myth that lesbians don't exist in Japan.
"There's a fear among both foreign and Japanese women that it wouldn't just be taboo but there's a risk of losing your job or of alienating yourself from the so-called straight society," says Moss. Though Kanako Otsuji, an Osaka lawmaker, took a step forward by coming out publicly at last August's gay pride parade in Tokyo, Japanese lesbians have long been lacking public role models.
In 1980, well-known pop singer Naomi Sagara saw her career collapse as she was banished by the public after her former partner announced she was a lesbian.
"I didn't come out until I was 32," says Chu, who is lovingly referred to as Momma and has been helping organize "dyke weekends" (thrice a year get-togethers in Saitama) for over 10 years, as well as hosting food and drinks at Chestnut and Squirrel for four years.
"It's all about repression. I only knew about Naomi Sagara. She was lesbian and it was bad news. But then KD Lang was so cool. When I saw her sing at The Grammys, I thought 'I'm lesbian!' It was finally time for me to consider my sexuality. It must be a visible positive image for women to want to come out."
Chu says lesbian activities hit their peak in 1994, coinciding with the American feminist movement, when leaders of groups in Japan all worked together.
She says since then it has calmed down and because groups have different agendas they have gone their own ways.
Recently Japanese lesbians have been going their own way, with an increasing number choosing the Internet, rather than public places, to meet other women.
"The Net is different from meeting in a bar. I want more. People have lives and experiences, not just parties," says Ayano, who has been meeting Internet friends around Chiba for daytime activities like horseback riding and swan watching since September.
For some, following the personals on the Internet has compromised the strength of lesbian communities.
"Women can lead double-lives and that counteracts what the possibilities can be. It's easy to find a relationship on the Net by speed dating, but you end up closeting yourself and it affects the structure of that minority group. So then we don't fight for visibility because we've disappeared," says Moss.
"We need to encourage a community where women can express themselves. I feel like the foreign community has a moral obligation to care, contribute and support.
"It's time to work toward building self-awareness within our own foreign lesbian community -- and find ways of breaking down any barriers between ourselves and other communities."
But because of language barriers, the transitory nature of foreigners and the lack of same-gender spousal visas, there are different agendas for the foreign and Japanese lesbian communities.
Perhaps one of the challenges is how to respect the different agendas while at the same time building a strong political base.
Until a broader spectrum of visibility exists, public blindness remains and stigmas are continually reinforced by images of lesbianism brought to the mainstream.
"There are still many who believe in that there are virtually no lesbians in the real Japanese society," says Maki Kimura, a staff member of the Kansai Queer Film Festival and partner of Otsuji.
"A market where feminine lesbians are objectified and consumed as objects of sexual desire by heterosexual men, say through pornography, has developed.
"There are also a great number of lesbians who marry men due to economic concerns, partly because wage differences are still large between women and men in Japan.
"Even though we describe it as a community, there is not enough sharing of information with each other. Except for personals on the Internet, it's a big problem that there is virtually no media to link Japanese lesbians," says Kimura.
"I want to cut off the vicious cycle of discrimination and prejudice. The more we become visible, the more a systematic change favorable for us will be fostered."

The U.S. Male and Queer Obsession with "Censorship" of Pornography will not end, no matter how much pornography there is!
photograph of Catharine A. MacKinnon is from here
This post is about a review I recently read of a book by an author whose name is spelled (emphasis added by me) CathArine A. MacKinnon. The excellent book on law and women's liberation is titled Women's Lives, Men's Laws.
In this volume, C. A. MacKinnon has collected some brilliant discussions about law and liberalism; the notion of equal rights and what equality for women in a male supremacist state really means; on racism; on a very wacky version of postmodernism; on the male supremacy and male domination embedded in the practices and systems of sexual harassment, prostitution, pornography, and sexual assault; and she also discusses the history of psychotherapy and sexuality. I find chapter 19 especially thought-provoking and in need of greater discussion within society.
Here's the table of contents [source website is *here*]:

27. From Silence to Silence: Violence Against Women in America
28. Pornography Left and Right
29. Vindication and Resistance
30. The Roar on the Other Side of Silence
I'll note that here's a kind of HISteria common among men who adore control and domination of women more than respect and liberation for women, that results in the most ludicrous accusations and falsehoods presented by misogynist men as a kind of secular gospel truth. Needless to say, men lie a lot not just to GET what they want, but to KEEP what they already have. What men already have is a well-established position over and against women, structurally, economically, socially, sexually, and in every institution in the this country--and most other countries as well.
In most places that have free computer access, pornography is something men, certainly, already have access to in abundance. It is estimated that at least one third to one half of all traffic on the Internet is men searching, viewing, and downloading industry pornography which is pimp-produced material selling society the idea that all women are wh*res by nature, desire to be raped as forcefully as possible, and want to be humiliated and degraded. One can see why this industry must be challenged by feminists, and hopefully also by het men and queer people who care give a damn about women's liberation.
Read on, and you'll see what I mean about the reviewer not being able to get right the part about pornography and what MacKinnon has to say on the subject. (Do you suppose the reviewer actually read those chapters at all?)
Women's Lives, Men's Laws
Catharine A. MacKinnon Belknap Press $39.95 (558p) ISBN 978-0-674-01540-1
As an activist and legal scholar, MacKinnon has been a prominent force in feminism since the mid-1970s, when she pioneered the legal claim for sexual harassment. Her latest volume brings together 29 essays that show how the juridical legal system empowers men at the expense of women. In tortuous academic prose, MacKinnon offers thought-provoking commentary on a wide range of subjects, including the ERA, abortion, Brown v. Board of Education, the history of sexual harassment law and the intersections of sexism with racial inequality and animal rights. ""Interrogating how animals are treated like women, and women like animals, and both like things, can shed reciprocal light,"" she writes in her essay ""Of Mice and Men."" Elsewhere, she wonders whether the law should ""rationally reflect society or change it? From whose point of view?"" MacKinnon's cause celebre-her arguments for the censorship of pornography-runs throughout the volume, but this controversial thread may weaken the book as a whole. ""Pornography,"" in her view, consists solely of visual images illustrating the subordination of women. And she appears to be unduly dismissive of women who watch or make pornography or who oppose its censorship. MacKinnon also seems to believe that there is little difference between actual violence and violence that is modeled, staged or faked. Readers who vehemently disagree with these interpretations may be annoyed to find them cropping up repeatedly but, for others, this book serves as a provocative, startling window on the battles currently being fought in some of the most contested areas of American law. [source: here]
What we see is that the reviewer is rather determined to make a truth claim that has no relationship to reality at all in the U.S., which is where the author lives and where the laws are that she discusses in the book. What's the obsession about? "CENSORSHIP"!! Why? Because it functions as a useful distraction from the actual issue, which is how industry pornography undermines women's quest for liberation in liberal-to-conservative societies. That is what Catharine MacKinnon discusses, but she never once talks about "CENSORSHIP" as a proposed or attempted feminist practice. So why, then, does the reviewer make it seem like when she brings up the subject that's fundamentally what she's concerned about?
I'd say to perpetuate one of several lies about radical feminists--which is that they want to take all the men's and all the queer people's pornography away. As if that were even possible! As if the market isn't flooded with both. As if there isn't something called "the Internet" which is most traveled by people looking at pornography!
The discussion in the U.S. about feminists wanting to BAN pornography, or have the federal government remove it is completely absurd and silly, and downright delusional: there is no means in the U.S. by which such a thing could occur: there are no legal mechanisms, and no possibly strategies employable to stop the proliferation of online pornography. This reminds me of Men's Rights activists claiming that they are in jeopardy of losing all their children. As if men don't control women and children, generally. As if men's laws don't serve men, generally. As if men aren't obtaining custody even of children they abuse. As if men aren't getting full custody of children from women they've been battering, in front of the children. And it's like white men worrying about American Indians taking away all "their" land, as if such a thing were legally possible, or even doable by any means at all.
Let's review the comments in the review above:
MacKinnon's cause celebre-her arguments for the censorship of pornography-runs throughout the volume, but this controversial thread may weaken the book as a whole.
And on which pages are those arguments "for the censorship of pornography"?? The reviewer can't say, because they aren't in there.
And so the discussions that are in the book don't "weaken" it, if you understand the book to be an incisive analysis and challenge to all the many ways men determine and undermine women's status and human existence in law and in life.
"Pornography," in her view, consists solely of visual images illustrating the subordination of women. And she appears to be unduly dismissive of women who watch or make pornography or who oppose its censorship.
She has legally defined the term as graphic material which is male supremacist and in which men sexually subordinate women in pictures and/or words. The definition isn't "in her view" so much as it rises out of what industry pornography actually is in society. Go look. See if this a "a viewpoint" MacKinnon is fabricating out of thin air. She's referring to what exists, materially. She's not willing to indulge in liberal fantasies that "pornography is in the eye of the beholder" when, frequently enough, semen is in the eyes of the women exploited and raped in pornography as a way to demonstrate men's social-sexual subordination, degradation, and humiliation of women and girls as a distinct political class of human beings.
She's noting that what women do that they call pornography doesn't have much to do with the industry as a whole, which is run by men, by male supremacist/misogynist and racist pimps, and always has been.
MacKinnon also seems to believe that there is little difference between actual violence and violence that is modeled, staged or faked.
She "seems to believe" this, or DOES she believe this? Again, one wonders if the reviewer bothered to read the book at all. MacKinnon is not vague or evasive on these subjects. You don't get to be a constitutional law professor with an accomplished record of fighting for women's human rights by indulging in abstractions and imprecise language. "MacKinnon also seems to believe" is abstract and imprecise, however.
So the next time you hear any U.S. man or queer person talk about U.S. feminists wanting to ban pornography, please remind them of something called "reality".

Cyber security will soon be the work of machines
We are soon to become cogs in the “internet of things”, that futuristic, ultra-connected, sensor-filled world in which our every action is measured and our every whim anticipated. This utopia promises undreamt-of convenience (the heating switched on as the commute home begins) and perfectly tailored commerce (a boiler advertisement when the heating fails).
But there is a potential nightmare lurking in the wires: in an era of pervasive interconnectedness, a cyber attack on one machine cannot necessarily be contained. Securing cyber space is recognised as one of engineering’s top priorities.
FirstFT is our new essential daily email briefing of the best stories from across the web. That is why, next month, all eyes will be on the Cyber Grand Challenge in Las Vegas, a competition hosted by the research arm of the US military.
Seven teams will compete against each other on a given system, to locate cyber attacks and “patch” them in real time. And, for the first time, there will be no human fixer behind the patches, just supercomputers racing against each other. The event, which will be streamed live, is being billed as the first all-machine hacking tournament.
Computers are already used to detect vulnerabilities in networks, and to ferret out malicious software that can exploit chinks in security. Once a flaw is detected, though, the remedy requires human input — and it can take months for software engineers to effect a fix. This means the status quo favours cyber attackers over defenders.
Two years ago, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) launched a grand challenge to develop machines that could write fixes automatically. Upgrading cyber security to the speed of machine learning, the agency said, would shift the status quo. Darpa even offered to fund the best proposals.
The agency held three qualification rounds, during which a field of 104 teams was winnowed down to seven. They vie for a cash prize of $2m.
The contestants are drawn from academia, industry and security: CodeJitsu is a group of elite programmers from the University of California, Berkeley; DeepRed comprises engineers from Raytheon, and TECHx is a bunch of software professionals from a security company in Virginia. The underdog of the septet is CSDS, a two-person team from the University of Idaho.
The tournament will take place alongside Defcon 2016, the world’s largest hackers’ convention, and is loosely modelled on the “Capture the Flag” format of cyber security competitions. The objective of such games is to infiltrate other machines and retrieve a “flag” — such as a protected file — while simultaneously protecting your own team’s flag.
The Darpa contest will pit each of the seven machines against specially written software. In the qualifying rounds, the competing teams managed to find and fix each of the 590 flaws in the test software. Moreover, the patches were written and deployed in record time.
Surrendering our cyber security to machines may be inevitable. We have gradually given up our superiority over other domains once thought impervious to computing power; look at how Google’s Alpha Go was able to overcome the world’s top-ranked player of the strategy game Go.
Mike Walker, the Darpa programme manager, says the hacking tournament similarly shows “there is a place for computers in the adversarial contest of the mind that until now has belonged solely to human experts”.
But that is the power of today’s machines: they do not think like machines any more. They think like us — only better and faster. They keep learning and they never tire. We have long debated whether machines will be our masters or our servants. Now we need to consider whether they should become our protectors.

Molecular Assembly Line
Nano–Assembly
Researchers from the ETH Zurich have taken an important step towards creating an assembly line at the molecular level. The molecular assembly line features all the elements of a conventional production line– a mobile assembly carrier, an assembly object, assembly components attached at various assembly stations and a motor (including fuel) for the assembly carrier to transport the object from one assembly station to the next.
Researchers used microtubules as assembly carriers. Microtubules are string–like protein polymers which, together with kinesin, transport cargo around the cells. With its mobile heads, kinesin binds to the microtubules and propels them forward along the surface of the device. This propulsion is further supported by the current generated by the fluid being pumped into the canal system with the main canal just 30 micrometres wide, that is, three times thinner than a human hair. Five inflows and outflows direct the current in the main canal and divide it into strictly separated segments: a loading area from where the assembly carriers depart and two assembly stations and two end stations to where the cargo is delivered. These inflows and outflows lead to and from the canal at right angles.
Researchers can add objects to the system through lines that supply the assembly segments. In their most recent work, they tested the system using NeutrAvidin, the first molecule that binds to the nanoshuttle. A second component, a single short strand of DNA then binds to the NeutrAvidin and creates a small molecular complex.

East Naples (FL) Hosts Inaugural Pickleball Championship
Published April 17, 2016 - www.coastalbreezenews.com
The U.S. Open Pickleball Championships was founded by racquet sport professionals and life long athletes, Terri Graham and Chris Evon. Graham and Evon spent over two decades working for Wilson Sporting Goods in Chicago, where Graham was the Business Director for indoor racquet sports and spearheaded racquetball, squash, badminton, platform tennis and most recently, you guessed it, pickleball!
The two recognized the time was right for a world-class international pickleball event and in 2014 they started Spirit Promotions, LLC to organize the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships. To their delight, these Marco Island part time residents needed to look no further than neighboring Naples for the perfect venue. In January 2015 Collier County CVB signed on for a three-year commitment to host the tournament.
Donna Fiala, Collier County Commissioner says, “East Naples is the fastest growing community in Collier County. Hosting the fastest growing sport in America seemed like the perfect fit! We are committed to investing into this event and into the park to make it the best place for people to play! Kids, parents and grandparents are learning the game. It’s great for families and great for the community. We look forward to being a part of this event for many years to come.”
Graham and Evon teamed up with the local USA Pickleball Association District Ambassador, Jim Ludwig, and the three set to work in early 2015 to organize a world class sporting event. Ludwig is equally passionate about pickleball and founded the nonprofit “Pickleball for All” to introduce the sport to every school in Collier County and beyond. “The U.S. Open Pickleball Championships has opened doors to not only help us grow this charity, but to help us make Naples the pickleball mecca of the world!” says Ludwig.

Liu Hong of China sets WR in women's 50K race walk
HUANGSHAN, China — Liu Hong of China has set a world record in the women's 50-kilometer race walk, becoming the first woman to finish the event in under 4 hours.

Police summoned to a wooded area near a Tarpon Springs, FL apartment complex yesterday struggled to subdue and capture a massive, 14 1/2-foot African rock python weighing an estimated 200 pounds. ”It took three full-grown officers to wrestle with it, to get it through the woods, and they had to take a break halfway through,” said Loren Mell, who discovered the reptile.

After 66 years, keepsake WWII rifle recovered by family
Among the souvenirs Marine Bill Bucklin acquired during his service in the Pacific Theatre was a Japanese Arisaka Type 99 rifle. Though he carved his name in the stock, the gun was lost while being transported back to his Erie, PA home after the war. An amazing stroke of luck reunited the late Mr. Bucklin’s family to the firearm last September, when it was located in a Washington, PA gun shop. The Erie Times-News.
Roof collapse blamed on pigeon poop
Fire Department officials say the collapse of a Vacaville, Calif. gas station roof awning that nearly struck a woman as she filled her car’s gas tank was caused by the buildup of “several inches” of pigeon feces on the structure. ”It just went ‘boom’ and then it all came down,” said Chris Doss, who had just finished putting gas in her Mazda. Oakland Tribune.
Infected wild hogs found in 3 Texas counties
Researchers from Texas Tech say wild hogs in three Texas counties tested positive for Tularemia, a potentially dangerous disease, and that hunters should be cautious when butchering the animals. “Hunters should always wear protective gloves and eyewear when they are cleaning animals to prevent from getting a disease,” said Brad Dabbert, associate chairman of Tech’s Department of Natural Resources Management.

During last week’s Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee work session in Missoula, Mont., a consensus appeared to agree that a transition in bear management may be imminent. ”We need to rethink our grizzly messages for the Greater Yellowstone area,” said Steve Schmidt of the Idaho Fish and Game Department. “This population is recovered. We are now transitioning into management. The Missoulian.
Bear entree at Packers’ hangout nixed by health dept.
The plan to serve meat from a black bear killed by a Wisconsin hunter at a St. Paul, MN bar frequented by Green Bay Packers football fans during yesterday’s playoff game was nixed by the Minnesota Department of Health because the meat was unprocessed and uncertified. The decision didn’t affect Packers’ fans enthusiasm, however, as Chicago Bears fans find themselves dining on crow today. Nick Ferraro in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Missing Civil War revolver returning to VA museum
A .36-cal. Spiller and Burr revolver apparently stolen from the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Va. in 1975 was discovered with the possessions of a Tennessee man who died last month and will be returned to the museum, according to the FBI, which investigated the case. Knoxville News Sentinel.
‘Bear-proof’ trash bin certification faces scrutiny
A spokesman for the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee says the group’s certification for bear-resistant trash bins and other containers may be overhauled due to the increase in demand for such products and the profit potential for manufacturers that produce them.

Chihuahua it’s what for dinner
Bug, a 2-pound Chihuahua puppy, is recovering from injuries it received this week when a hawk swooped down and grabbed it on a Fort Walton Beach, FL deck.

Trail runners gaining ground as wildlife’s target
A Northern Rockies grizzly bear expert says long-distance joggers and wilderness trail runners are approaching photographers as the backcountry group most likely to be injured in a wild animal encounter. “…Some of these people are not aware of the dangers they put themselves in,” said Chris Servheen, USFWS grizzly bear recovery coordinator. “This long-term running, at dawn and dusk, at night with headlamps: These are the specific things we tell people not to do in bear habitat.” The Missoulian.
Don’t believe there’s a crazed anti-gun media bias?
If not, here’s a sampling of some article headlines from this week’s Shooting, Hunting and Outdoors Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas. “World’s Largest Gun Show Launches in Las Vegas Despite Arizona Shooting,” (ABC News), ”In an Ocean of Firearms, Tucson Is Far Away,” (NY Times), and “Ariz.

Crazy Like a Fox
I am not buying this one. A man in Belarus was leaning over a fox he’d shot, planning to put the animal of its misery when the fox fought back and shot him in the leg. The hunter was going to knock the fox in the head with the butt of his rifle, but the animal reached up and pawed the trigger, shooting the man. The man is recovering in a hospital, and the fox is still hunting humans. Via BackCountry

Dogs Still Beat Electronics when it comes to finding Bombs
The most sophisticated detectors the Pentagon came up with tend to
locate only 50 percent of IEDs in Afghanistan and Iraq; when soldiers
are accompanied by bomb-sniffing dogs, this number goes up to 80
percent; the Pentagon now spends less money on IED detection and more
money on drones to find those planting IEDs, radio jammers to disrupt
the frequencies used to detonate the bombs, and lots of aerial sensors
to scan bomb-heavy areas Read more

BERLIN (AP) — Heidi, the cross-eyed opossum, is the latest creature to rocket from Germany’s front pages to international recognition, capturing the world’s imagination with her bright, black eyes turned toward her pointed pink nose. Read more

The World’s Top-Earning Musicians Of 2019
December 19, 2019 Swashbuckler Entertainment
Ever since Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s infamous run-in at the MTV Video Music Awards a decade ago, they’ve had a relationship that could be best described as star-crossed. Now they’re duking it out for the title of music’s highest-paid act. This year, Swift wins.
The superstar songstress earned $185 million thanks to a new record deal, a bevy of endorsements and the tail end of her most recent tour, landing in the top spot on the Forbes list of Highest-Earning Musicians for the second time in five years. West was not far behind, with $150 million, thanks to a surge in sales of Yeezy sneakers.
“I am a product guy at my core,” explained West, No. 2 on the list, in an interview with Forbes for the cover of our August issue. “To make products that make people feel an immense amount of joy and solve issues and problems in their life, that’s the problem-solving that I love to do.”
Two other acts entered nine-figure territory this year: British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran (No. 3, $110 million) and California rock band The Eagles (No. 4, $100 million), who both made the cut thanks to a heavy slate of gigs. The No. 5 spot is claimed by another venerable rocker, Elton John, who collected $84 million in 2019 in the midst of his farewell tour. Jay-Z and Beyoncé are tied at No. 6 with $81 million apiece. In all, the 10 highest-paid musicians in the world earned just over $1 billion pretax during our June-to-June scoring period, up from $886 million last year.
To determine our rankings, we consider income from touring, music and outside business ventures with the help of Pollstar, Nielsen Music and interviews with industry insiders including many of the stars themselves. Our list measures pretax earnings and does not deduct fees for agents, managers or lawyers. The ranking once again highlights an unfortunate reality of the music business: just ten women out of 40 names, only a marginal improvement over last year's one-in-five ratio, while 15 people of color made the list, though five of them in the top ten.

Arena Point Also known as Tower House
This office block was renovated and re-clad in 2003-2004 to bring the building up to modern standards.
The new cladding began to fall apart in 2011, prompting a re-clad in an identical finish.
The office building was re-launched with a new name of Arena Point in 2016, making reference to its close proximity to the recently completed Leeds First Direct Arena.

Totally Fixed and Rigged Magazine
TotallyFixed Blog is a project of David Caputo, owner of Positronic Design of Holyoke, Massachusetts. This blog covers American and world politics, especially as they relate to civil rights, energy policy, militarism, progressive political thought, clean elections, 9/11 Truth, torture and detention policies, and related topics. May the clear light of lucid thought and prose send those cockroaches of the war economy scurrying back to their dank crevices. Namaste!
BBV 2010: Massachusetts - Watch for Pre-Emptive Maneuver Thru "Calling the Race"
SHINING A BRIGHT LIGHT ON AN UNDEMOCRATIC TACTIC
For 10 years, I've been watching a trend to manipulate elections through premature "call" of the race by a media outlet. See below for predictions on what may follow a media call for either candidate in Massachusetts.
The media "call" can be manipulated because the public doesn't know that projected winners come from a system that is not even a governmental source! In fact, the media "calls" elections based on data from just one media outlet -- usually a quiet little division of the Associated Press that occupies a little corner somewhere and answers very few questions. Volunteers call in result reports to the corporation. The reports are often inaccurate (see below for examples). The names of these volunteers are not part of the public record. We will never get the list of names for those who will call in the 351 numbers which will result in "calling the election" for Tuesday's Massachusetts election.
HOW THE MEDIA "CALL" MAY ULTIMATELY CONTROL POLICY
If Tuesday's Massachusetts special senate election is "called" for Democrat Martha Coakley, expect to see a rush to install her, copying a Republican tactic in 2006 whereby San Diego's Brian Bilbray was seated by the US House of Representatives before tens of thousands of votes were even counted. Yes, the Senate can override the actual election results, or pre-empt the real results, and pre-emptively install a candidate based on a media prediction, or a bunch of unofficial tallies, or whatever they want. It can be done. It has been done. And if the media calls the race for Coakley, expect to see it done again.
If the race is "called" for Republican Scott Brown, expect to see a rush from Republican lawyers to claim that Brown has the right to vote immediately, instead of Paul Kirk who is current interim successor to Ted Kennedy. If that fails, look for an attempt to force abstention on the Massachusetts vote while stall tactics play out.
Sixty votes are needed. If Coakley is called and installed, they've got the 60. If Brown is called and stalled, they've got 59. Either way, the media "call" on Massachusetts is going to be under exceptional political pressure.
No matter where you stand on the controversial healthcare bill, be aware that what you see reported on Election Night is not only not "official" or "final", but is not even real, and may not even be the numbers written down by poll workers or printed out by the voting machine.
ISSUING FALSE NUMBERS TO THE MEDIA TO CREATE A FALSE "CALL"
In the recent controversial NY-23 race, volunteers in multiple wards called in zeroes instead of votes for Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman. There WERE votes, but they called in zero and later said oops. This was not a plausible oops, because the zeroes were not called in randomly for various races, nor did the zeroes spread themselves among different candidates. Doug Hoffman had false zeroes reported while votes were called in for the others. Incorrect figures provided to the media resulted in a margin which appeared thousands of votes larger than it actually was, goading Hoffman to concede prematurely.
In the Florida 2000 presidential election, impossible numbers were provided to the media producing exactly the margin needed to "call" the race for George W. Bush. Minus 16,000 votes were reported for Al Gore, and (not knowing the margin was false), Gore conceded privately to Bush and nearly conceded to the nation.
In New York City's 2008 presidential primary, more than 50 wards falsely reported "zero" votes for Obama (but not for Hillary), creating a superficially low result on Election Night.
In Maine's 2009 election, the media reported called-in results for Lewiston and Augusta, two of Maine's largest cities, for seven ballot questions each with two possible choices (7x2=14 results per city), a total of 28 vote results for the two cities. Not a single one of the 28 results was correct, and eight were off by large margins.
In New England, even preliminary governmental results from each municipality are not compiled for a day or so. Results are typically sent by courier or brought by the police to the secretary of state. The results you see on the news are therefore not government results at all, but results generated by unnamed volunteers (or sometimes paid part timers) working for a corporation.
The media "call game" is a political game that can be played dirty, and in Massachusetts, the media "call" could ultimately control national healthcare policy.
Usually, these premature calls can be unraveled if they are incorrect because elections aren't certified for several days and winning candidates aren't installed into office for a month or more. But in Massachusetts, because of the special situation with an imminent vote on a controversial bill combined with a temporary senator, the media call can create an undemocratic mess.
JOURNALISTIC MALPRACTICE
When the media calls an election based on non-governmental verbal information from unnamed volunteers, it displaces legitimate election procedures. Media volunteers can -- and HAVE -- issued false numbers in order to get the media to call an election for a candidate. The US Congress can -- and HAS -- installed new voting members of congress before the votes are counted or the contest is determined.
If a media outlet calls the Massachusetts race based on verbal reports from names that are never disclosed, we need to call this what it is: Journalistic malpractice, and a danger to democracy.
If what you see Tuesday night ain't right, be prepared to speak up. Or shout loudly. It's our duty.
"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

The Bamboo Forest | Beat Reader | China 200 BC | ESC (Escape) | Glorious Era VR | Imbalance | *inCahootsVR* | Light as a Feather | The Museum of Stolen Art | Night Owl | Ready Driver One | RecoVR: Mosul | The Syrian Journey | Vicious Cycle | VRabb.it | Yo Sobrevivi (I survived)
The Bamboo Forest is a VR experience inspired by the Chinese Wuxia (martial arts, sorcery and chivalry) genre of film. Instead of watching a Kung Fu warrior race across tree tops as if in flight, the user can put on a Rift and soar across the canopy of a bamboo forest…leaping from tree to tree…but not without consequences.
A Stone Dragon pursues you from behind while animated Terra Cotta enemy-warriors lurk below and await for you to plummet to the ground.
Structured as a narrative game, the user must find an ancient temple, steal the Chinese censer (incense burner) and return to the wall… where he/she must slip through a crevice to avoid being destroyed by the Dragon.
Team: Chris LoBello, Bracey Smith
Experience: Oculus Rift, Gear VR

ESC (Escape) is a VR experience and peripherals built around one simple mechanic: flying.
Bracey Smith: “I, like many, have had recurring dreams where I was able to fly if I only concentrated hard enough. ESC will attempt to recreate that experience. In 2014 I received a Muse headband as a gift. It’s an EEG reader that is capable of distinguishing between an active and a calm mind. I’ts a neat toy, but I never really had much use for it, until now.”
Team: Bracey Smith, Rehmat Qadir
Glorious Era VR
Glorious Era VR invites participants to explore the remnants of an ancient temple in Thailand from the point of view of a conservator endeavoring to restore the temple to its original grandeur. Participants will be immersed in a virtual recreation of Wat Chaiwatthanaram, an actual Buddhist temple built in the 17th century and now one of Thailand’s most significant historic sites. The temple’s name means The Temple of Long Reign and Glorious Era.
Donning a Gear VR headset and brandishing a custom engineered gold applicator, visitors will assume the role of architectural conservator. Their mission, as they navigate a 3D-model of the structure, is to use the applicator to reapply the gilding that originally coated the temple’s once lustrous interior and restore its magnificent sheen.
The setting for Glorious Era VR is constructed from LIDAR data generously provided by World Monuments Fund. The organization recently surveyed the site as part of an effort to document, preserve and protect Wat Chaiwatthanaram from emerging environmental threats.
Team: Adrian Sas, Inpyo Chang and John Choi
Imbalance: A utopic ecosystem decays as a continually growing population of energy sucking creatures deplete its natural resources and leave behind mountains of trash.
Story: The story is settled in a beautiful low poly fantasy ecosystem with fictitious plants and animals, everything seems perfect and harmonic, all in balance. As the user sees this world they realize there are creatures (called the Otopos) that suck the energy of other living creatures (both plants and other animals) and defecate trash (human-like trash). At the beginning they are just a few, but they quickly start to reproduce at an accelerated pace, the fecal-trash becomes little mountains across the landscape and others start floating down the river. Later, as we get further from the origin, we see the land – full of Otopos, full of dead creatures and full of trash.
Experience: The user is carried around in this land and can only move their head (like being on a theme park ride). The three scenes or stages of decay exist on the same terrain, but in different parts of the world). As the user travels on a set path they see different scenes of the ecosystem, (there’s no direct interaction with the environment, the user is more like a fly on the wall).
Team: Natalia Cabrera, Tommy Payne and Isabel Paez
Experience: Cardboard
*inCahootsVR* – The growing popularity of VR over the past few years has seen a steady increase in VR content, games and applications. The proliferation of this new technology and its desire to create a totally immersive experience has an unfortunate drawback; it isolates users from one another and limits interaction in the physical world. This is not to say that multi-user VR experiences don’t exist, but rather that they tend to be focused on the actions of the individual as opposed to encouraging, or facilitating, a collaborative experience.
*inCahootsVR* aims to address this problem by allowing users to “feel” the presence of his/her collaborators. In this simple mobile VR proof-of-concept demo, users work together to construct an artifact in virtual space by manipulating objects in the physical world.

RecoVR: Mosul
RecoVR: Mosul, a Collective Reconstruction
With more than 3,500 archeological sites, including centuries-old religious and historic excavations, Iraq’s second-largest city Mosul has the majority of the country’s archaeological wealth. On June 10, 2014, Mosul was occupied by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Images of the destruction of historic sites and artifacts in the city’s museum made international headlines and shocked the world.
RecoVR: Mosul, a Collective Reconstruction is a virtual reality installation created in response to this destruction, allowing us to visit the museum again and find out what happened to some of its key pieces. While walking through the museum we see the destroyed artifacts, digitally reconstructed through crowd-sourced imagery. This virtual environment was created by new media artists Ziv Schneider and Laura Chen. Apart from bringing the historical collection back to life, it also sheds light on ISIL’s war on cultural heritage.
Team: The Economist Media Lab – Ziv Schneider and Laura Chen
The Syrian Journey
The Syrian Journey is a VR data visualization of the Syrian refugee crisis based on data from the UN Refugee Agency.
Our aim is to put the viewers into the shoes of Syrian refugees traveling from one location to the next while allowing high level understanding of Syrian refugee routes, locations, and populations.
The experience will be built in Unity for Cardboard and use audio recordings to frame the story. Data visualization will be realized in 2D images.

Vicious Circle
Vicious Circle is a VR film that puts users in the place of a victim of domestic violence, inside their house with their partner.
Browsing through the scene, their presence causes smalls interferences: a cup falls, a door slams. The partner then reacts, sometimes with violence and other times being loving and careful.
The random reactions simulate the changes in behavior experienced by victims of domestic violence – they are arbitrary. The idea is to understand the vicious cycle they are part of.

Yo Sobrevivi (I survived): An Immersive Experience of the Colombian Conflict
After decades of violence, a small community in Colombia seek healing and justice by sharing face-to-face the stories of victims and offenders. A trio of initial stories recorded from interviews by Dan Archer in the field in Colombia will be turned into immersive VR experiences, using audio, video and photographs.
Yo Sobrevivi will consist of three 5-minute immersive experiences from all three sides (the villagers, ex-FARC guerrillas and paramilitaries), as they share their true stories of how the violence in Colombia has affected them. Participants will be able to choose which side of the story (FARC, paramilitary or villager) they want their POV to be from, to experience the conflict from multiple sides and see how personal and painful the path to violence at a national level can be.

The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On: “A visceral indictment of war”
11th November 2019 23rd December 2019
by Aidan Fatkin
Picture this. You’re one of a few surviving members of a World War Two Garrison stationed in New Guinea. It’s Japan in the late ‘80s, and you’ve gotten out bed after a horrific nightmare from the trauma of the war. Guilt, shame, and horror fester your mind: you’ve done something incredibly immoral during your army days. You can’t go back to sleep, the actions committed cannot be undone, and it haunts you years later. So, you get out of bed and walk to the kitchen to calm down. Maybe you get a glass of water? Or a snack? Just as you’re about to take a sip of water, or take a bite from that snack, you hear a car pull up outside the house. Curious, you go to the front door. In a matter of minutes, one of your ex-comrades storms into the house. He interrogates you about the execution of two low-ranking privates at the end of World War Two. There’s a man behind a camera filming the situation as it unfolds. Frightened, you scream lies – “I can’t remember anything back then!”.
The interrogator won’t accept that as an answer. So, without any hesitation, he pounces on you. Your former friend wrestles you to the ground and pounds the truth out of you. Scary isn’t it? We talk about the past catching up to folk who’ve committed bad deeds. But it hasn’t been depicted in as violent a manner than in Kazuo Hara’s The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On. I first heard of Hara’s evocative documentary in CineFix’s Top 10 list of the ‘Best Documentaries of All Time’. What qualifies as the best varies from person to person. Nonetheless, there’s a fanbase behind Hara’s film that suggests it lives up to that high acclaim. Two of the most well-established names in the world of documentaries, Errol Morris and Michael Moore, have praised Hara’s film as an unforgettable experience. So, when I heard that Second Run was putting out a Blu Ray edition of The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On, I had to jump on it. And it’s a film that hasn’t left my mind, nor do I think anyone can.
The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On follows a 62-year-old World War Two veteran, Kenzo Okuzaki. We learn at a steady rate of Okuzaki’s character. He’s the owner of a battery shop in Kobe, and he has three criminal convictions to his name ranging from manslaughter to throwing pachinko balls at Emperor Hirohito. Speaking of Hirohito, on the Emperor’s birthday, Okuzaki drives around Japan in a car plastered with anti-government writing. Okuzaki claims he is conducting a memorial service for fallen soldiers during the Pacific War. The Emperor is the sole perpetrator of these past atrocities as Okuzaki wails into the microphone. “The most cowardly man in Japan is Emperor Hirohito” states Kenzo. Almost immediately, The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On takes a surreal yet engaging stance on anti-war activism. And the film only gets more insane the longer it goes on.
Okuzaki’s crusades lead him to find out what happened to his executed friends at the 36th Engineering Corps in New Guinea. Okuzaki comes unannounced on the doorsteps of his former superior officers. He demands answers for the firing squad executions and threatening them with violence if they refuse to spill any information. This is a classic example of an investigative documentary. Or the first person documentary that was popularised by the likes of Moore and Louis Theroux. However, the difference between Okuzaki, Theroux, and Moore is that Okuzaki is both parts determined and wild in his quest for the truth.
Unlike Theroux who diffuses tense situations with his awkward sense of humour, and Moore’s confrontational interviewing style, but is never violent with anyone. Make no mistake, if Okuzaki senses someone is lying through their teeth, he will annihilate that person. Okuzaki fires questions like a police interrogation, wrestles army veterans to the ground if they get on his nerves. He even drags the relatives of his deceased partners to these interrogations. So, the veterans see the raw pain and misery left behind years after the executions. Kenzo is the living, breathing embodiment of political rage who won’t back down to anyone. And that makes Okuzaki a compelling and terrifying leading character for a documentary like this.
I would position The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On with the cream of the crop of the investigative documentary. I thought a lot about the work of Joshua Oppenheimer when watching this. I guess in the sense that both The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence thematically link to The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On. Especially The Look of Silence which grows more frantic as it gets closer to the truth of who murdered an Indonesian man’s brother. Hara possesses the same quality as Oppenheimer in that he treats Okuzaki’s quest for justice as a story. Hara gradually builds the dread scene by scene. And once we get to the reveal by one of the medics of why the 36th Regiment executed Private Yoshizawa and Nomura; I was left both shocked and disturbed. The twist is so ghastly that it causes both the relatives to quit the production. As a strange consequence, Okuzaki employs actors to stand-in for the missing relatives for future interviews.
I would argue that it’s best to go into the documentary without any knowledge of the war crimes that happened during the raging years of the Pacific War. That way, The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On will have its maximum impact on the viewer. It’s a deeply unflinching and potent indictment of war and power: not something that your average war film can achieve based on clichéd anti-war messages. And Hara is an excellent documentary filmmaker. He knows exactly where to position himself to capture footage, even to the extent that he never interrupts the action. That’s right; Hara doesn’t stop Okuzaki from beating the snot out of someone. He chooses instead to continue filming, and that questions the morality of the documentary filmmaker. Someone does call out Hara for doing this in the film’s final sequence. However, had Hara cut and stopped the in-fighting, then he would dismantle hostility. Worse still, he would have shown mercy on the veterans who kept dirty secrets in the dark for far too long. Something that The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On requires at all times for it to work on people.
I was enthralled by The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On. It’s a stunning film that any fan of documentaries needs to see in their lifetime. It’s a passionate, furious, and maniacal piece of work that no-one will ever forget watching. Extra’s wise, there’s both an interview and the 2018 Open City Documentary Festival’s masterclass with Kazuo Hara. Additionally, the release includes an impressive transfer of the film, and another well-researched booklet featuring the always respectful Asian Cinema expert, Tony Rayns. I always get excited whenever Second Run put out a documentary, and this is undoubtedly no exception.
