Argentine Mauricio Pochettino inherits a Southampton squad in shock and a fan-base in revolt after replacing Nigel Adkins as manager of the Premier League club.
Supporters of the south coast side say the former Espanyol boss can expect a fans' protest in his first match in charge, at home to Everton tomorrow, as they express disgust at the sacking of a man who led Saints to back-to-back promotions.
Adkins was shown the door by executive chairman Nicola Cortese on Friday despite a barnstorming draw at European champions Chelsea in midweek and a victory at Aston Villa last weekend.
Fans are being urged to wave white handkerchiefs at St Mary's Stadium to draw attention to their anger.
"As Spanish supporters wave white hankies as a form of protest it seems an appropriate way to protest at Nicola Cortese's ruthless treatment of Nigel Adkins," Perry McMillan of the Southampton Independent Supporters Association said.
"It's important we send out this message and as this match is live on TV and will be seen throughout Europe, it's a great opportunity to show how we feel," he said.
"When you think about how hard he [Adkins] worked to get us into the Premier League, this leaves a bitter taste," he told Southampton's local newspaper the Daily Echo.
After a shaky start to the season in which they lost eight of their first 10 Premier League matches, Saints have suffered only two defeats in their last 10 league outings.
However, it proved too little too late as Cortese wielded the axe, saying a new man was needed given the long-term ambitions of the club.
Adkins reportedly left the club in tears, and his backroom staff were dismissed with him. Southampton had won 54 percent of their matches under Adkins — a better record than any Saints manager in more than 100 years.
That figure, though, is massaged by those games in the second and third tiers in which Adkins won promotion.
There are a number of former Saints bosses with a better winning record than Adkins' 23 percent in the top flight, lending weight to Cortese's decision.
Still, fans and players past and present were struggling to come to terms with the news.
Exciting full-back Luke Shaw pledged his future to the club just days ago, and after hearing the news turned to Twitter to tell his followers he was "very confused".
Former players registered their disgust at the chairman's ruthless treatment of Adkins.
"Once again I think he has made Southampton a bit of a laughing stock," Saints great Matt Le Tissier said of the Italian, who has waged a feud with the club's local newspaper and has a fractious relationship with a number of former players.
Former left-back Francis Benali said: "I'm gobsmacked and stunned at the timing of it. Nigel Adkins' record, as every Saints fan would tell you, speaks for itself.
"Even if Nicola Cortese felt that Nigel wasn't the right man to take the club forward then surely he should have been relieved of his duties well before now," he said. "I just hope this doesn't have a huge negative impact on the club and its results."

My interest in such questions is inspired by two more subtle reasons.
— First, other individuals named Skyvington, living today, are interested in their origins. These people are likely to appreciate my Dorset research into recent Skyvington branches beyond my own direct ancestral line.
— Second, there's the question of our Y chromosomes. Up until now, this subject remains purely theoretical, because I seem to be the only person with a name like Skeffington who has put his Y-chromosome results in the database [access].
Well, a few days ago (on the same day, amazingly, that I heard about the family de Verdun), I was happy to discover that present-day Skyvington individuals in the vicinity of Worcester (named Stephen, Richard, Gary, Robert and Shaun) and Durham (named Robert, John and Graeme) would appear to be authentic genetic cousins, with exactly the same Y chromosome data as me. (For the moment, I don't have the addresses or phone numbers of any of these individuals.) It would be nice if some of these people were to obtain their Y chromosome specifications through, say, the Family Tree DNA company [access]. Incidentally, I believe that the best approach, costwise, is to order a test through the Skeffington group, whose page exists on the Family Tree DNA website.
For readers interested in the precise links between the English Skyvingtons in Worcester/Durham and myself, let me display a couple of genealogical charts. Their ancestor John Skyvington [1857-1901] worked as an agricultural laborer, at the age of 14, in Iwerne Courtney, before becoming a stonemason. But his principal vocation was the army, and he entered the ranks of a distinguished corps: the Royal Horse Artillery. It was no doubt in his role as a dashing mounted trooper that John met up with a young Scottish lady, Jessie Coulie (also spelt as Collie), who became his wife. Later, John was on active service in the Boer War.
Ambush at Sannas Post (Blomenfontein, 1900) by Terence Cuneo.
Getting back to the man who served in the Boer War, there's a family legend concerning the identity of his wife Jessie Coulie. It was said that she was the daughter of a noble family associated with Guthrie Castle near Dundee, and that she was normally destined to wed an equally noble chap from India. To escape this fate, she eloped with John Skivington!
If John's wife never made it to India, his nephew Edwin Skivington (son of the Edwin mentioned in the first chart) ended up there in 1916, as a soldier with the 7th Hampshire Regiment.
They call her a young country, but they lie:
She is the last of lands, the emptiest,
A woman beyond her change of life, a breast
Still tender but within the womb is dry.Without songs, architecture, history:Floods her monotonous tribes from Cairns to Perth.
The emotions and superstitions of younger lands,
Her rivers of water drown among inland sands,
The river of her immense stupidity
In them at last the ultimate men arrive
Whose boast is not: 'we live' but 'we survive',
A type who will inhabit the dying earth.

Selling SIM
Retailers dial into a new wireless potential.
At the end of the day, Martin says, consumers do not care what a retailer pays in merchant fees: "For the consumer, it's about, 'What value do I get?' "
Speaking in favor of the Isis effort and NFC, Tony Abruzzio, business development executive for New York-based Isis, said the technology has its upsides:
- NFC is already a standardized technology that providers can implement immediately, not just here in the United States, but also globally.
- It rides on the EMV system, which is a security technology that the credit-card companies are already mandating in the coming years.
- The demographic is 18- to 34-year-olds who are interested in trying something new, as long as innovative retailers and financial types can envision the kinds of offers that will lure them into using the technology.
Still, supporters of mobile wallets have acknowledged a sluggish adoption rate.
"So why has this disruptive shift in payments never materialized?" asks Seth Priebatsch, CEO of LevelUp, a mobile-payments provider based in Boston. "It's because these two formulas—one for [a traditional credit] card and the other for Google wallet—are the same."
With both being the same, no reason to change exists, he says.
"Change is expensive. Credit cards work just fine," he says. "Change means that merchants, payment processors and credit-card companies would have to bring in new hardware, new training."
Mobile Convergence
That said, Priebatsch believes that several compelling reasons will keep the march toward mobile payment going. These benefits include:
- Lower payment processing. Mobile is a path to potentially lower processing fees, a concrete trend that could "disrupt rates" as people now see them.
- Access to data. It becomes a platform for a merchant to take back control over his or her customer base.
- Advertising and loyalty. As a larger vision, mobile payment is just a piece of a larger connection to a retailer's customers, creating a concrete pathway for advertising and the building of loyalty.
As discussion on internal uses of mobile expand, Gray Taylor, executive director for the Petroleum Convenience Alliance for Technology Standards (PCATS), Alexandria, Va., says the mobile-wallet discussion ought to expand to talk of a mobile "briefcase." As an example, he points to digital coupons. Taking paper coupons for discounted items at the c-store may not be as typical as in the grocery or drug-store channels today, but Taylor believes that with the advent of the mobile wallet, that day may be coming soon.
"[The industry] has to figure out how to handle validity, security and redemption," says Taylor, who heads PCATS and the technology efforts of the larger NACS association. "We can pilot this thing to death, but we don't want to be the … last [to implement programs]."
C-store purchases have always been impulse buys, he says. But with much of the activity in a mobile-coupon scenario happening in the "cloud" or at a more centralized computer off-site, a coupon can be in a customer's cellphone at "the moment of truth," when he or she is making that purchase decision, he says.
The reason why these benefits have not trickled down to retailers, Priebatsch says, is that a larger convergence of multiple players—consumers, merchants, POS companies, acquirers and developers—has yet to occur. Those groups are now moving more quickly to common ground for various reasons, he says. As an "ecosystem," Priebatsch says, each of those groups is actively seeing the potential of moving together.

Love the book title!
However, I can assure you that the "artist" for the ad took a few liberties with the setting. Utah does not have cactus that grow that high in the desert (only in gardens), and Promontory Point is naturally filled with sagebrush and rabbit brush, not sand and cactus. The train, however, actually looks quite a bit like the real thing ( both original engines have been restored and are on-site -- just in case you ever needed to know that).

Is a search warrant a public record in Illinois? Usually, but not always.
Sometimes the answer is unclear, according to an official from the office of state attorney general and an Illinois Press Association attorney.
IPA attorney Don Craven said Ogle County officials have made an inadequate case for their denials of Sauk Valley Media's requests to see the search warrant that resulted in drug paraphernalia possession charges against a Mount Morris man in August.
While search warrants generally are documents available to the public, a judge can seal them for a legitimate reason, Craven said.
"If there are other people involved in some criminal activity that don't yet know they're the subject of investigation – we don't want the bad guys to know," Craven said.
Sarah Pratt, the public access counselor with the Illinois Attorney General's office, said the fact that an investigation is ongoing is not enough of a reason to keep a search warrant from the public. Specific reasons must be given, she said, that prove that releasing the documents would hinder an investigation or prosecution.
"It depends on the circumstances," she said after being given the reasons Sauk Valley Media received from the sheriff's office. "But that does sound kind of general. It's often case by case."
Sauk Valley Media made two requests under the Freedom of Information Act to see the search warrant and police affidavits that led to the Aug. 20 search of Justin Coltrain's home in Mount Morris.
The search led to the arrest of Coltrain, 33, for possession of drug paraphernalia.
On Aug. 20, the Ogle County Sheriff's Department issued a news release about Coltrain's arrest. That arrest came 9 days after Coltrain had been charged with battery for his part in an Aug. 10 fight at a party in Oregon that resulted in the death of 18-year-old Jonathan Williams, although Coltrain was not arrested for hitting Williams.
Coltrain talked to SVM for a story published Aug. 13 in which he described what went on at the party. That story also mentions that Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn's son, Andrew, was arrested a block from the party and charged with illegal consumption.
Ogle County State's Attorney Mike Rock denied SVM's first request to see the search warrant and police affidavits, citing a recent appellate court ruling that state's attorneys are not required to follow the Freedom of Information Act. In his denial letter, Rock indicated that were he not exempt, he would deny the request because it would interfere with legal proceedings.
Sheriff Harn denied a second request by SVM, similarly writing the request would "interfere with pending or actually and reasonably contemplated law enforcement proceedings conducted by any law enforcement or correctional agency."
SVM then asked Harn to give specific reasons that releasing the documents would interfere with legal proceedings. In its request, SVM asserted that Harn had not presented "clear and convincing" evidence as to why the information wasn't being released, which is required by state law.
The only reasons given by Harn in his second response was that releasing the documents would reveal the prosecution's case and doing so "could taint potential jurors."
The letter also said, "And while there are statutes that cover exemptions for those types of information, all of the information should be exempt when a prosecution is pending due to the risk involved."
Releasing the search warrant and police affidavits to SVM, Harn wrote, would mean "the state's entire case could become known to the public, which is harmful to the prosecution."
Harn has not responded to SVM's requests for further comment on the matter.
On Sept. 3, five charges of possession of drug paraphernalia were filed against Coltrain. He said police "are abusing their power."
He thinks he's being singled out because of his past. Coltrain has several previous arrests and convictions, including burglary and a 2003 charge for possession with the intent to deliver marijuana
Coltrain is due in court Oct. 11 for the charges of battery and drug paraphernalia.
IPA lawyer Craven, meanwhile, questions why the sheriff would need to keep secret documents that led to an arrest he publicized with a news release.
"That uncertainty [about search warrants] is the problem – that you don't know if you can look at a public records or not," he said. "It's just that simple."

Florida wildlife officials believe a rare Florida panther was struck and killed by a vehicle in east Orange County near Christmas on Sunday night.
Florida wildlife officials believe a rare Florida panther was struck and killed by a vehicle in east Orange County near Christmas on Sunday night.
An autopsy, conducted Tuesday, concluded the animal was a young panther, approximately three-years old, believed to be a male.
The panther was hit by a double tractor trailer Sunday night on State Road 520, near its intersection with State Road 528, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
A biologist retrieved the badly damaged carcass, but was not immediately able to determine the sex. If the animal is confirmed to be a panther, it would be the 17th killed by a vehicle this year, nearly double the nine killed in collisions last year. So far this year, 25 panther deaths have been confirmed in Florida.
The endangered Florida panther has been growing in number since the 1980s, when its numbers dwindled to 20 to 30 in South Florida. The current estimated panther population is between 100 and 160 adults and sub-adults.
Most panthers live in Southwest Florida, south of the Caloosahatchee River, but an increasing number of male panthers have roamed north into Central Florida, including occasional sightings in Volusia and Flagler counties and as far north as Central Georgia.
The wildlife commission has recently added a website for people to report panther sightings and photos: https://Public.MyFWC.com/hsc/PantherSightings/
Dead or injured panthers can be reported by calling the commission's wildlife alert hotline at 888-404-3922 or text firstname.lastname@example.com

Leaving Your Legacy
Now that you are living with Alzheimer's, it becomes even more important for you to live your life in a way that will preserve the essence of who you are and make an impact in the areas that are most important to you. This positive effect on others becomes your legacy.
What it means to leave your mark on the world
You can choose how to live your life with Alzheimer's disease, and thinking about the legacy you want to leave may help bring perspective to facing a disease like Alzheimer's. What you value and the life lessons you have learned can leave an extraordinary imprint on future generations. Being mindful of how you want to be remembered will help shape how you choose to live each day.
"Leaving a legacy" can seem like such a grand idea. But, think about how you can make an impact and how your life has been touched by others who have come before you. The ways these individuals have touched your life is the legacy he or she has left you. These may be very simple things – what a person has taught you, created or given to you. It can be a skill passed on to you, or a different way of seeing the world that has become part of your core values.
Now is the time to think about what you'd like to pass on to others or making changes that affect something you care about.
To start this process, ask yourself:
- What is the purpose of my life?
- What do I stand for?
- How will I chose to live my life as an example for others?
- What brings me joy now? How can I share that with others?
- Who has been important to me? How have they had an impact on me? Can I honor them in some way by passing it on?
- What am I proud of? How can I build on those things to affect the future?
- What can I create for someone? What skill can I teach?
- How can I help others? How can I make life better for other people?
- How do I want to be remembered?
- What do I want my family/friends to know about me?
Ideas for leaving your legacy back to top
There are many examples of how people living in the early stage of Alzheimer's have decided to leave their legacy for their families to have and cherish.
Some people have choosen to create something for others to have and keep. One woman videotaped herself reading stories to a grandchild so that future generations can experience the same joy. Another person wrote a cookbook of favorite recipes for family members to enjoy. Others focus on spending quality time with family and friends to create memories to cherish.
Ideas that may help you leave a positive effect on others include:
"I don't want an obituary that says the company I worked for. I want to be remembered as somebody who helped other people."
Scott R., person living with Alzheimer's
- Creating a family tree that includes details about each person.
- Writing letters to grandchildren about your life. Share what you have learned and what you hope for them.

While I really enjoyed seeing Dominic Purcell as the evil vampire Drake in Blade: Trinity, his performance could have been much better in this Dark Ages tale of a god whom has had it with that new religion of supposed peace coming in from the Roman Empire. Now Mr. Purcell is Eirick, Thane of Jomsberg, a king and also the mortal lover of the Goddess of Love, Freya (Tegan Moss). His life ended on a battlefield as he fought for his kingdom, but his godly girlfriend felt he was not ready to head to Valhalla, and has to continue with a new quest in Midgard (Earth). This is where his tale begins.

The Charge do not return to action until Saturday at home against Fort Wayne. Not that they are complaining.
Need a break?
The Charge do not return to action until Saturday at home against Fort Wayne. Not that they are complaining.
Canton finished a stretch of five games in eight nights Saturday against Erie.
"Five in eight is very hard," Charge head coach Steve Hetzel said. "The D-League season presents challenges much like the NBA season. The rest is welcome. The practice time will help us sharpen our tools a little bit."
Screwy schedule
D-League scheduling is especially strange.
The Charge had six off days before the five-games-in-eight-nights stretch. Now, they have another six days off.
After hosting Fort Wayne on Saturday, they will bus 3 1/2 hours to play the Mad Ants in Fort Wayne the next day at 5 p.m. Why not just play both games at one site to save both teams a late-night bus trip and travel headaches?
Big Zeke
Former University of Akron center Zeke Marshall made his D-League debut Friday night for the Maine Red Claws. Marshall played six minutes and totaled one point, four rebounds and two blocked shots in a 92-81 loss to visiting Springfield.

If Rudy Giuliani can be called the "Mayor of 9/11," then Chris Christie should be the "Governor of Sandy." A large portion of his overwhelming popularity in the state still stems directly from his immediate action following the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy.
In those dark and storm-ravaged days, Christie put partisanship aside, just weeks away from the election, and teamed up with President Obama to cut the red tape and provide immediate relief to storm-battered residents. He also chastised House Speaker John Boehner and members of his own party for their delay in voting for a $60 billion Hurricane Sandy relief bill, which could explain why he wasn't invited to the big conservative shindig CPAC last weekend.
We all remember the words he used to describe Boehner and his fellow Republicans - "selfish and duplicity," the "palace intrigue," "the callous indifference to the people of our state," "disgusting." Need I go on?
So I wonder if behind closed doors in their hilltop home in Mendham, Christie is throwing the same harsh language his wife's way.
It was reported last week that Mary Pat Christie's Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund has not paid out a single penny to hurricane victims, despite raising over $32 million.
While the charity finally announced it was distributing the first $1 million to agencies in Monmouth and Ocean counties last week, it represents just 3 percent of the total amount the charity has raised. Compare the sap-like speed of Mary Pat's charity with the Robin Hood Foundation's quick turnaround of the $67 million raised by the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief. Robin Hood has already awarded more than $50 million in grants to dozens of nonprofit groups, and expects to have commitments in place for the remaining money by the end of the month.
While there is some value in Mary Pat being "judicious," speed isn't the only problematic aspect of Mary Pat's charity. Another potential issue is the opportunity for special interests to cozy up and donate millions of dollars in funds in order to influence or buy access to her husband.
Predictably, Mary Pat dismissed this idea, but while her intentions may be 100 percent pure, a peek at the list of the charity fund's top donor reveals big donations from the state's largest corporations, like AT&T, Hess and Toys 'R Us, who have each pledged over $1 million each.
The opportunity for big corporations to donate to the charity is a potential way for them to evade state laws that prohibit industries like utility companies and banks from donating to political campaigns. So it should come as no surprise that utilities are among the most generous contributors to Mary Pat's charity. Not only that, the charity's board is a veritable who's who of influential lobbyists, philanthropists and corporate representatives, like political confidant Bill Palatucci and former Christie chief of staff Rich Bagger, who have connections of Christie's re-election efforts.
In other states, these types of charities have been criticized by watchdog groups as a way for corporations and the powerful to skirt around campaign finance reform laws and buy influence. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Supriya Jindal Foundation for Louisiana's Children, headed by the wife of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, came under fire when it was revealed several big money contributors received large contracts or favorable legislation following their donations.
Among the donors to receive favorable benefits in return were Blue Cross/Blue Shield ($400 million contract), Northrop Grumman ($11.4 million contract) and AT&T (17 contracts totaling $32.2 million), just to name a few.
"The motives might be good," Melanie Sloan, the director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, told the New York Times. "But the donations that come in to charities like this are almost always from folks who want something from a politician. It is a troubling phenomenon."
Blue Cross/Blue Shield and AT&T are also big donors to Mary Pat's charity. Of course, Christie has denounced the idea that corporations could use his wife's charity to curry his favor. "Am I grateful to those people? You bet I am. If I see them, will I express my gratitude? You bet I will. And do I think they're doing a great thing as a citizen and a human being? I do," he said at a news conference back in December. "But they know, because they know me, that it will not one iota affect the way I execute my job as governor or any decisions I have to make as governor regarding the use of public money."
I might take him at his word, if it weren't for the no-bid contract AshBritt received for Hurricane Sandy debris removal. In that case, former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour just happened to be a lobbyist for a group that represents AshBritt, and suggested to Christie that he take advantage of his services.
That's the same Barbour that gave Christie $7.5 million in funds from the Republican's Governor's Association during his first election against Jon Corzine, which Christie credits for helping him win the race.
No one can say for certain that Barbour bought Christie's influence, and we won't know if AT&T or First Energy are trying to do the same. All I'm saying is for a man who used to be a U.S. Attorney, Christie is finding it difficult to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

Drivers wanted Parabolica tarmac run-off - Whiting
Charlie Whiting says F1 drivers were among those asking for the new tarmac run-off area at Monza's Parabolica corner which caused a storm when pictures circulated on Twitter last month.
The reaction to the corner was generally negative from fans, while Ferrari junior and GP2 race-winner Raffaele Marciello tweeted "why?" with a picture of the work being undertaken. One of the main issues is that the new run-off area takes away some of the challenge of one of F1's most iconic corners.
But FIA race director Whiting stands by the decision to tarmac the corner as he says it was in response to concerns voiced by drivers, among others.
"About 35% of the gravel has been replaced," Whiting is quoted as saying by Autosport. "This has been requested for safety reasons by the FIA and the drivers, just as it has been at virtually every other circuit that F1 races on.
"Of course we know that it is not as punishing to a driver who leaves the track but that is the price that we pay for much improved safety: a price both the drivers and I believe is worth paying."

So.. your mom rescheduled Easter to accommodate your brother's custody arrangement, and moved it (can you even move Easter???) to a date that conflicts with your custody arrangement?My mom would get a big, "Sorry, the 15th doesn't work for us. And we have other plans for Easter Sunday. See you soon!".And I disagree that your mother should invite Ex. I would NOT want my mother having contact with an ex other than that which came through me. But I think you need to give Ex a heads up and let him know she may be calling, and it is perfectly okay with you for him to decline/ignore her calls.She is being disrespectful to you, DH, DS, AND your ex. It sounds like she will continue to do so for as long as you allow her to.
Email, phone, however you communicate with ex, FIRST. ex, mom is hosting dinner on 15th and I am not going. She may call and ask you, please don't worry about going.Call two to mom, or email, whatever mom, thanks for asking us, we can't come on 15th.Then don't go. And try not to feel to guilty when mom starts whining.
Oh, and please don't feel compelled to give her an explaination for why you are declining her invitation. It's likely that she'll badger you for reasons so that she can try to shoot them down. Don't give her the opportunity-just tell her you won't be attending. When she asks why, just say "Because we aren't available that day" and leave it at that.
One bit of advice- do not JADE (justify,argue,defend,explain) to or with your mother. Stick to, "That won't be possible." Any attempt to do the above gets you into a loop where she wins. End the conversation if necessary to escape. "Gotta go, the cat's on fire," worked for someone else on the board. It's even more effective if you don't have a cat.
One thing: I've noticed a lot of posters saying that you should decline the invitation to the 'family Easter'. If you do that, make sure it's because you don't want to go, rather than to teach your mum any kind of lesson.I've found that basing your actions on other people gives them power in your life. Ultimately, you are still modifying your behaviour because of them.I've started doing what *I* want to do. If it happens to give somebody else a perceived victory, I won't deprive myself of what I want just to avoid that outcome, because I'd still be giving the other person a stake in my decision making process, and removing them from that process is my ultimate goal.I want to win the war, not just the battle As always, YMMV.
Option 1: Decline the invite because you already have plans AND call your ex to warn him about your mother's latest scheme.
How lovely. Your brother is the Golden Child, you're the Scapegoat, and your mother is the Narcissist who must have her own way all the time no matter how it hurts or inconveniences anyone else. Because she is the ultimate centre of the universe, don't you know. And heaven help anyone who dares to say 'No' to her royal majesty. I can only imagine just how ugly she can get when you refuse to bow and bend to her every whim. She probably gets a special thrill whenever what she wants causes YOU the most stress and upheaval.I don't think she even wants your son there so much as she wants to stick it to you as painfully as she possibly can. Your current DH is a saint for having put up with this. OP, it's time to realize that your mother isn't going to change, she's always going to put your brother first and stomp all over you, so, like everyone above has said, cut the cord. She doesn't love you, she doesn't give a flying monkey crap about anything to do with you unless she can use it to hurt you. Stop putting yourself out there to be hurt and inconvenienced. You're not the only one affected by this, you said it yourself: your current DH, your son, your Ex are all being dragged along for the ride. Time to get off the train and start doing what YOU want no matter how she whines and guilts and tantrums. She's a toddler, and you don't tolerate tantrums and guilt trips from toddlers, do you?

Agent hopes Vick can return to NFL by September
By LARRY O'DELL, Associated Press Writer
31 minutes ago
AP - Mar 25, 11:50 am EDT NFL Gallery NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP)—An agent for suspended NFL star Michael Vick told a bankruptcy court on Thursday that he hopes the ex-Atlanta Falcons quarterback could return to the league by September.
Joel Segal testified as part of a hearing to assess Vick's plan to emerge from bankruptcy, which was designed with the goal of Vick returning to a professional football career. Vick, who left a federal prison in Kansas last week to travel to Virginia, was in court for the first time in the case.
To return to a team, Vick still must apply to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to be reinstated. He hasn't yet done so, Segal said, and plans first to finish his 23-month sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting operation. He will return to his family and community, and when he is ready, start working with strength and quarterback coaches.
Segal said he'd try to negotiate a one- or two-year contract that includes incentives for playing time and a starting position. Segal said he hasn't spoken to teams because Vick is still under contract with the Falcons, though the team has said he won't play for Atlanta again.
"He'll let me know when he's ready for that, and when Mike's ready, we have a plan," Segal said.
Vick is expected to testify at the hearing, which is scheduled to last through Friday. Much of the testimony has detailed some of the ways he plans to spend his life once he is released from federal custody in July. He could be transferred to home confinement in late May.
"You will hear from Mr. Vick his future intentions, how he's going to change the way he lives his life," his lawyer, Michael Blumenthal, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro.
One of those changes will be a construction job, Blumenthal said. Vick has lined up a 40-hour-a-week, $10-an-hour job at one of W.M. Jordan Co.'s 40 commercial construction jobs, said John Robert Lawson, whose father helped start the Newport News company.
Lawson, 57, said that he has known Vick for more than 10 years and that they have been involved in charitable work together. He said Vick's representatives approached him when the former hometown hero was turned away by other employers.
"I believe all of us make mistakes, and once you've fulfilled your commitment and paid the price, you should be given a second chance," Lawson said in a telephone interview. "He's not a bad person. He made some bad choices."
Once one of the NFL's highest-paid players, Vick began to slide into financial ruin after details about the brutality of his dogfighting enterprise enraged the public. But court records show they were already in serious disarray because of lavish spending and poor investments.
Earlier this week, Vick and the Falcons agreed that he would pay back $6.5 million of his Atlanta contract, moving closer to cutting ties with a team that doesn't want him. Vick was suspended indefinitely after his 2007 indictment, and Goodell has said he will review Vick's status after he is released.
A committee representing most of Vick's unsecured creditors has endorsed his Chapter 11 plan because the alternative—a Chapter 7 liquidation of his assets — would not provide them any portion of his future earnings. But some other parties, including a former agent who won a $4.6 million judgment against Vick, opposed the plan.
Associated Press Writers Dena Potter and Steve Szkotak contributed to this report.
I am a HUGE football fan, but I may have to boycott if they let him back in. Who can we contact to voice our opposition?

All of this KISS discussion got me wondering, what exactly is the conversation going to look like in another 8 (probably longer) years when Nickelback is up for discussion. I wouldnt' say I'm a Nickelback fan, don't own any CDs, downloads, etc... wouldnt' consider seeing them in concert or bringing them up on youtube, I know them for only 2 things, 1) the handful of songs that I've heard on the radio, and 2) the seemingly absolute hatred of their music.
As I mentioned before, I couldnt' play a note on any instrument to save my life, so I'm not really in position to critic anyone musically, but from what I've heard on the radio they don't deserve all the negative feedback that they do get. I've asked the question before, and I've never seen an answer that made me understood the seemingly universal hatred from the musically sophisticated crowd that they get. At any rate, the mention of ICP in relation to KISS got me thinking, so I looked them up on wiki and was surprised to find that they released their first record in 1995, and if I read things correctly, they'd be eligible for nomination 25 years removed from their first record. I doubt they get nominated their first year eligible but have been seemingly commericially successful enough that they'll be up for consideration and perhaps eventually nomination some day.
That is a day I look forward to on the internet; it may just break the day it happens.

The Alabama quarterback is at the NFL Scouting Combine this weekend, and spoke Friday about a variety of subjects. McCarron thinks he has a lot to prove.
"Definitely," McCarron said. "For sure. I feel like I've been disrespected my whole college career."
McCarron (6-3, 220) reeled off a list of reasons his doubters have used, ranging from an inability to throw "the deep ball" to being helped by an abundance of NFL talent on his roster. But McCarron cited the level of competition he was able to succeed against as a plus.
McCarron was under center for a pair of Crimson Tide National Championships, guiding Alabama to BCS Title Game wins over LSU in 2011 and Notre Dame in 2012. He was on the losing side of a game just four times in his collegiate career.
Playing under head coach Nick Saban, McCarron said, was a big help in dealing with complex defensive schemes he'll likely see in the NFL.
"Coach Saban is the closest you can get to facing an NFL defense," McCarron said. "Especially blitzwise, he makes up NFL blitzes. I feel like I've seen every type of defense you could possibly see. I'm the most experienced guy when it comes to that."
McCarron has some of the biggest hands for a quarterback at the Combine, measuring in at 10 inches. When he was asked why he tweeted out the measurement, his explanation drew laughs from the media.
"Because everybody kept asking me," McCarron said. "Everybody kept talking about hand size and they were asking me. I think I had the biggest one, though. I'm not sure. I don't think anyone else had a 10."

Fish and chips: a taste of home
I guess it would be traditional for me, as a Brit, to crave the taste of fish and chips. When I was growing up it was a regular Friday night treat – I guess a hangover from more religious times of always eating fish on a Friday. I loved to ride in the car to the chippie with my mum or dad and wait at the counter – that way I didn't have to set the table, my brother would do that – and it meant that I could enjoy the theatre of the chip-lady chatting to all the customers while handling the bubbling vats. I would rest my chin against the heat of the cabinet and watch; the chips flying out of the basket with her practiced flip, the delicate dipping of the fish fillets into the creamy-white liquid batter before being submerged in the fryer with a hiss and a fizz of bubbles.
I enjoyed her brisk 'Sal'vinegar?' (I don't think anyone ever said no, but I always asked for extra vinegar) before she anointed the steaming crisp fish and chips with a good shake of both. I'd stare at the pies, they seemed oddly mysterious, almost exotic in their golden cases – we were not a pie and chips family so I never got to try one until, I think, I was in my teens, when I became fiendishly addicted to the cheese and onion pies filled with a dense sauce that tasted so good with the salty chips and the tang of the vinegar. My mum, brother and I had cod and my dad alternated between chicken and haddock. If I was good I'd get a can of Dandelion and Burdock and sometimes a little container of gravy too.
I can taste those cod suppers now. Warm, satisfyingly fatty and oh – so, so good, they tasted of the start of the weekend and the end of school. Which is why I was feeling a little homesick the other day, I knew what would fix it; fish and chips friom the summer-season window counter of the Raincity Grill, a restaurant around the corner from my flat in the West End on English Bay.
I love the ethos of the Raincity Grill, they were the first restaurant in Vancouver to base their menu on the '100 mile diet' – ingredients gathered from a 100-mile radius – a philosophy built on sustainability, seasonal eating and cruelty-free farming. I ate dinner there a few months back and adored every mouthful. Heaven. It's set at an amazingly good price point too but the real bargain is to be found at the window; fish and chips, with a tangy coleslaw salad and house-made tartare sauce all for $13 in a biodegradable carton.
The chips were pleasingly fat – crisp on the outside and almost buttery-soft inside. The fish was perfect; thick juicy flakes of fresh-caught local halibut wrapped in possibly the best batter I've ever had, light, crisp and without too much of a greasy aftertaste. I ate it on my balcony and it tasted like home and pure happiness. Just writing this on a Friday, a little after 6pm and I feel my tastebud-memory kicking in. I want to go and eat it again. I'd love one more of those family dinners, being small enough to rest my chin on the counter that now I'd most likely rest my elbows on. Like Proust had his madeleines, I guess I've got my fish and chips so when I'm in search of my 'lost times', I can go down to Raincity Grill and find them again.

This shoe metaphor resonated for me. I know that that in 2007, candidate Obama told union workers that as President he would "put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself" and walk the picket line with them:
The reason I'm familiar with Obama's shoe rhetoric is that I saw references to it again and again during the Wisconsin protests. There were "Where's Obama?" signs with reference to shoes and even an effort to get people to mail shoes to Obama:
Let's think about the shoe as a political symbol. Where else have we seen that?
I ask that question out loud, and Meade says: Adlai Stevenson! Ah, yes. An iconic photograph:
And then I remember this one:
IN THE COMMENTS: Henry says, "Don't forget Nikita Krushchev." Still photo at the link. Here's video:
Molly recalls:
The word "sabotage" comes from a French protest of throwing shoes into a machine (mill?) so that it would break down.The word comes from "sabot," which is a wooden shoe, but according to the Online Etymology Dictionary:
[T]he oft-repeated story that the modern meaning derives from strikers' supposed tactic of throwing old shoes into machinery is not supported by the etymology. Likely it was not meant as a literal image; the word was used in French in a variety of "bungling" senses, such as "to play a piece of music badly."

Granted, it's become harder for many releases to grab your attention while gargantuan critic-proof blockbusters incessantly scream at you from television sets and the sides of buses (Pirates of the Caribbean 4's ad spend alone probably dwarfs the entire budget of most independent films). But while well aware of the glut of superhero and robot franchises due to invade this summer, we wanted to point you in the direction of some films we think will be deserving of your time, money and brainpower over the coming months. Some of them are sizeable studio pictures; some are modest independent productions; all are unique, artful labours of love, made by writers and directors who have spilled their hearts and souls onto the screen for your pleasure. These are stories about love, sex, birth, death and alcohol - from the creation of the cosmos to the end of the world. All of human life is here.

New signing Ben Gordon could be in line for his Peterborough debut.
The left-back, 20, joined Posh on loan from Chelsea this week and will be included in Darren Ferguson's squad after arriving too late to be involved against Millwall on Wednesday night.
Fellow defender Gabriel Zakuani will be assessed on Friday after missing the last two matches with a toe problem.
Striker Paul Taylor staked his claim for a start after coming off the bench to make one goal and score the equaliser as Posh came from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Millwall.
Nicky Ajose will remain on the sidelines. The former Manchester United trainee was forced out of the opening-day victory over Crystal Palace after just 27 minutes due to a hamstring injury.
Another striker, Dave Hibbert, and goalkeeper Joe Lewis are still recovering from knee injuries.
Ipswich boss Paul Jewell will be pondering changes to his starting XI.
He was furious after Tuesday's 5-2 home defeat to Southampton, especially with his side's defending after they found themselves three-nil down at the break.
Lee Martin and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas both came on at half-time and made positive contributions, strengthening their claims to start at London Road while the likes of Nathan Ellington must also be in with a shout.
Left-back Aaron Cresswell and central midfielder Grant Leadbitter played a large part of the midweek mauling operating in the wide positions and they could well revert back to their favoured slots to accommodate Martin and Emmanuel-Thomas.
Jewell's cause is not expected to be helped by the likely continued absence of centre-back Ivar Ingimarsson due to a thigh injury.

American Tower (NYSE: AMT) leases over 27,000 cell phone towers to wireless service providers, including Verizon Communications (VZ), Sprint Nextel (S) and AT&T (T). It operates over 20,000 wireless towers in the U.S. and has an additional 7,000 in Mexico, Brazil, and India.[1] With a US market share over 40%, the company is one of the largest wireless tower operators in the country, just behind leader Crown Castle International (CCI).
Cell phone towers derive revenue from multiple tenants who use the infrastructure simultaneously. Because of the regulatory difficulty of building new towers (at least domestically), growth is largely driven by adding tenants to existing towers. This gives the tower companies significant barriers to entry and strong cash flow from incremental business at each tower.
American Tower depends primarily on the success of the wireless communications business, which has grown rapidly since the early 2000's. As of June 2009, there were 277 million cell phone subscribers in the United States, 78 million in Mexico, 160 million in Brazil, and 427 million in India.[2] The large international subscribers represent a large growth opportunity for AMT, as the US wireless market is now mature with a penetration of over 90%.
It is hard to differentiate in the cell tower industry because everyone is doing essentially the same thing. However, American Tower is far more profitable than its competitors. American Tower has decided to sacrifice tower growth for tower profitability by maximizing its tenant per tower ratio and keeping their actual tower growth essentially flat.[3] This strategy produced an operating margin of 23.54%, in comparison to SBA Communications and Crown Castle who had operating margins of 1.73% and 7.96% respectively.
American Tower has over 20,000 wireless towers in the U.S. and 2,800 in Mexico and Brazil. The company leases antenna space to wireless service providers, including Verizon Communications (VZ), Sprint Nextel (S) and AT&T (T). Each tower antenna can derive revenue from multiple tenants who use the infrastructure simultaneously.
I thank you humbly for sharing your wisodm JJWY
Since the mid 2000's, cell phone usage in the United States, the company's most important market, has increased substantially. Increased cell phone usage means greater antenna and infrastructure usage for the company, which drives revenue. Given the attractive per tower economics of new business (most new business flows directly to the bottom line), the company has enjoyed significant growth and improved margins. The United States still lags other developed countries' cell phone saturation, leaving room for growth, but as the market continues to mature quickly, the company must seek growth abroad.
In recent years, companies such as Cingular and AT&T (T) and Sprint and Nextel have merged, evidence of increased consolidation among wireless carriers. This consolidation, as well as arrangements to share networks, has led to increased customer bargaining power and lower demand for total antenna usage. This is largely due to the fact that the companies' existing networks and their new, combined networks overlap or are being rationalized as expansion plans converge. The continued elimination of these duplications will lower revenue per tower, hurting margins and cash flow generation.
Around 64% of the company's business comes from just 5 customers, including Sprint Nextel (S) (21%), Cingular (20%), and Verizon Communications (VZ) (10%). Because the company generally signs long-term, 5-10 year lease contracts with these companies, any unwillingness or inability to pay future obligations or any serious disputes with one of these companies can have a materially adverse affect on the business.
Heavy FCC & Federal Aviation Administration regulation governs the construction and maintenance of existing towers. Each proposed new tower must be approved subject to height and weight requirements, location, environmental impact, and various other factors. Furthermore, each existing tower is inspected and expected to meet stringent standards and maintenance requirements, which may necessitate capital expenditures and fees related to upkeep and compliance. While no laws to date limit the construction of new towers, it has become increasingly hard to build new towers, so each of the major three tower companies enjoy regulatory barriers to entry and scale that cannot easily be duplicated by new entrants.
After recent consolidation in the industry, domestic competition between wireless infrastructure rental companies has become relatively consolidated among three major players: American Towers, Crown Castle International (CCI), and SBA Communications (SBAC). American Tower is the largest by revenue and market share, but following CCI's 2007 merger with Global Signal, Inc., the company is neck-and-neck in terms of number of towers. Below is a comparison of relevant operating metrics.
All of these companies, however, also compete against wireless carriers who choose to maintain their own networks and build their own infrastructure. Many of the wireless carriers also draw revenue from their towers. For example, AT&T Mobility owns and operates at least 8,500 towers and has established a separate division within the company to manage the tenant leasing business. T-Mobile and Verizon have similar tower leasing divisions. The leased tower segment of the above tower owners comprises around 55,000 of the total 200,000 towers across the country.

Red Wine Audio Unveils Industry's First Audiophile-class Battery-powered Headphone Amp/DAC Combo!
Two Highly-acclaimed Products United to Create Affordable Solution for Discriminating Headphone Users
August 19th, 2009 • Meriden, CT • Red Wine Audio, manufacture of battery-powered purest hi-fi components, unveils the Isabellina HPA integrated Headphone Amplifier and Digital-to-Analog Converter — combining their highly-acclaimed Isabellina DAC with the headphone stage originally developed for their award-winning Isabella vacuum-tube preamplifier. Featuring simplicity in design, coupled with use of high-current battery power, Isabellina HPA delivers a level of sonic performance not previously available to headphone users anywhere near this price.
Two highly acclaimed products. One cost-effective solution.
Introduced last year as a standalone DAC, the digital converter used in the HPA was initially designed to satisfy audio's most demanding users: High-end, two-channel audiophiles, where pricing is often secondary to their pursuit of sonic bliss. "For most headphone enthusiasts, the sonic improvement they experience listening to this class-leading DAC will bring smiles to their faces,†says Vinnie Rossi, Red Wine Audio's President.
HPA's headphone stage has been engineered for music lovers. It couples warmth and tone, while uncovering subtle details and delicate spatial cues hidden deep within the music. This is the same headphone stage found in the award-winning Isabella vacuum-tube preamp. Features include:
· Premium Vcap capacitors — known for uncompromising sonic performance and long-term reliability
· Ultra-short signal and power paths — contributing to HPA's audiophile-grade performance
· A very low impedance output driver stage — allowing HPA to drive a wide range of headphone impedances with ease
A headphone amplifier that makes two-channel speaker systems sound better too!
HPA includes a full-featured Isabellina DAC, including RCA output jacks. Here's a case where the digital-to-analog converter in a headphone amplifier performs at a level worthy of driving the finest audiophile stereo systems. So HPA customers are only one interconnect cable away from enjoying class-leading sound from all their audio systems. "For anyone who has dreamed of getting a high-end source to bring their listening experience to the next level, HPA has them covered!†says Rossi.
HPA supports three types of digital inputs, including USB
Toslink (optical), Coax or USB, HPA covers them all. And users can easily switch between digital sources, allowing them to attach more than one device.
The sound
The Isabellina HPA delivers an emotionally involving musical presentation; producing music with great dynamics, accurate bass response and a "totally black†background. There's also an absence of harshness and listener-fatigue, since no high-frequency noise is passed to the delicate audio stages. "Thanks in part to the advantages of battery operation, this product readily competes with units costing two or three times its price,†says Rossi. Web comments from early-release customers' agree…
Joe A., posted this on a popular headphone forum, driving $1,000+ Sennheiser HD 800s from his Isabellina HPA:
"…the soundstage continues to find me awed! I can't believe my long journey in search of the perfect amp, an all-in-one solution that sounds like the best tube amp you'll ever find, (has been) taken one step further with (the addition of an integrated) NOS DAC.â€
"…for the money I can't imagine trying to put something together that comes close to what the Isabellina HPA offers.â€
Volume shipments begin this month!
- Isabellina HPA $2,500 (Remote control included)
- Isabellina DAC without heaphone stage, available starting at $1,500

A private college education could cost more than $400,000 in 18 years. 529 plans are federal tax-free savings funds specifically designed to help you save for your kids' college expenses. Some parents open a 529 plan when their child is born. If you're prenatal, you can open a 529 plan, assign another beneficiary, and change it later. The 529 can be used to pay for public or private colleges and can also be used for room, board and books. With so many 529 plans to choose from, we recommend working with a financial advisor or broker to make a selection. Just be wary of fees. A commission-based financial advisor can mean losing up to 5% of your investment. Try to go "no load" (no commission) if you can find a worthwhile plan. Consider building a 529 plan after you've maxed out your retirement savings options. Remember: You can borrow money to send your child to college, but you can't borrow money to fund your retirement.
For Grandparents
For grandparents thinking about setting up a 529 fund for their grandchildren, some states (keyword here is some) offer inducements such as reductions in your state income tax. If you don't live in that state, you can send your 529 checks to your children on behalf of your grandchildren (they make the deposit). For example, one DailyWorth reader, Cynthia, has grandchildren in New York and California. New York offers a state income tax break for 529 contributions, so the annual birthday check for the 529 plan is sent to Cynthia's daughter, who then deposits it into the 529 plan set up for her grandchild. For Cynthia's California grandchildren, she can make a birthday gift contribution directly to a plan she set up. Bottom line: Do your homework based on the state in which your grandchildren live.

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM). and its chief executive officer, Jamie Dimon, have been dealing with a blitz of bad news of late, but you wouldn't know it from the accolades that keep getting heaped on them.
There was the $6.2 billion trading loss best known as the London Whale debacle that Dimon dismissed as a "tempest in a teapot"; the humiliating hearing before Senator Carl Levin's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, where we learned that Dimon had played a role in managing the wrong-way trades; and, to top it off, the New York Times on March 26 reported that eight federal agencies were circling the bank with various probes. …
…To win a prize for crisis management, of course, you need to be in a crisis, but that doesn't seem to sway supporters of the bank or its CEO, who make what sounds like a reasonable argument: JPMorgan is making money, which makes shareholders happy and keeps the board off Dimon's back. So what's not to like?
Amar Bhide, a professor of international business at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, has done some thinking about that question, and said JPMorgan and its competitors are making too much of their money with taxpayer support.
"From the point of view of shareholders, Dimon is not doing a terrible job," Bhide said. "One could take the extreme point of view and say that you want these people to gamble because they are gambling with the public's money. If you are a stockholder, you get a nearly free ride, so why not?"

While the Ottawa Senators were in the midst of making 11 straight playoff appearances from the mid-1990s through the better part of the last decade, there always seemed to be something missing: a steady goaltender.
That's not to say all of the team's goaltenders during that stretch were bad, it's just that none of them were able to stick with the team for one reason or another.
There was Patrick Lalime, a goaltender who was more than serviceable for the Senators for a few seasons before the team decided to take a chance on an aging Dominik Hasek. Except Hasek was past his prime by the time he reached Ottawa and only lasted one injury-plagued season with the club.
Then there was Hasek's replacement, Ray Emery, who was young, talented and on the fast track to become Ottawa's first true franchise goaltender. Only Emery earned a reputation as a diva and wound up being waived a year after leading the team to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2007.
Really, for their entire existence the Senators have been waiting for a goaltender who was capable of grabbing the No. 1 job for the long term. After two decades of digging, the team finally may have unearthed that goaltender in Craig Anderson.
Finding the right goalie for any given team is harder than it looks. Just because a guy had success somewhere else, doesn't mean he's going to produce a Xerox copy of those results with a new team. By the same token, however, a poor run with one, or even two NHL teams doesn't mean a goaltender's career is ruined either. Of course, the second path was the one taken by Anderson.
Like Mike Smith did when he moved from Tampa Bay to Phoenix, Anderson has had a chance to hit the reset button in Ottawa and he didn't waste the opportunity.
Anderson's rise to prominence has been anything but easy. A third-round pick by Chicago in 2001, the Illinois native broke into the NHL with the Blackhawks in 2002. Yet, it took seven years for Anderson to get his first real opportunity as a No. 1 goaltender when he started 71 games for the Colorado Avalanche in 2009-10 and helped lead the team to the playoffs.
However, Anderson struggled in the following season and as the Avalanche faded out of the 2010-11 playoff picture, they decided to ship him to Ottawa for current St. Louis Blues backstop Brian Elliott, another goaltender destined for big things in some place other than Colorado.
The rest, as they say, is history. Since leaving Colorado for the Senators in February of 2011, all Anderson has done is start in 87 games and post a 50-29-8 record.
So far this season, the 31-year-old has taken his play up a couple of notches. Anderson is tied for the most wins in the NHL with six and also leads eligible goaltenders with a save percentage of .956. Anaheim's Viktor Fasth has the league's best goals against average at 1.30, but Anderson is at 1.33 and has played in six more games than Fasth.
Most importantly, Anderson's play has helped Ottawa to first place in the Northeast Division, a spot the Senators currently share with the Boston Bruins.
Thanks to his blazing start to the lockout-shortened season, Anderson was named the NHL's First Star of the Month for January. If he keeps up the pace, Anderson could receive even more significant hardware, like a Vezina Trophy.
Although he's experiencing a career renaissance in Ottawa, Anderson manages to fly under the radar as if he was still the journeyman goaltender who bounced around with three teams before finding a home with the Senators. Maybe that's because he plays in Ottawa and not New York or Toronto, or perhaps it's because superstar defenseman Erik Karlsson is busy hogging the Sens' spotlight on a game-by-game basis.
If Anderson continues to play at the level he has since joining the Sens nearly two years ago, he'll give the hockey world no choice but to respect him. Then again, maybe Anderson will have to earn his laurels from the hockey world the old fashioned way -- by winning in the playoffs. That, of course, would be the perfect scenario for the Senators.
In the end, the lack of fanfare surrounding Anderson is of little importance to the Senators. After all, in Ottawa they're just happy to have a goaltender they can finally depend on after all these years.

Schalke have received no 'concrete' offers for reported Arsenal and Liverpool targets Lewis Holtby and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar ahead of the January transfer window.
Sky Sports reports how the pair have both been heavily linked with moves to the Premier League, with both players out of contract with the Bundesliga outfit at the end of the season.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been credited with an interest in bringing both the German midfielder and the Dutch striker to the Emirates Stadium, as Wenger looks set to spend more money on strengthening his squad in the New Year.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also in the market for reinforcements in January, with Brendan Rodgers looking to add to his midfield and forward options at Anfield.
However, any hopes the Reds coach might have had of securing Holtby and Huntelaar's signatures, have been dealt a significant blow, following Schalke general manager Horst Heldt's latest comments.
"I have actually received no concrete enquiries for them," he told Deutsche Presseagentur. "In terms of Lewis Holtby, I feel we are in a final phase (of contract talks). A decision could be quite close as it seems to actually be just about details.
"A decision could still be taken after the end of this current calendar year."
Asked specifically if there was any truth in Liverpool or Arsenal's reported interest in the two players, Heldt added: "I am not expecting to get to know any interest from any other club before the newspapers.
"I would still only consider anything after having received a concrete enquiry. Our main goal is to sign new deals with both players. We want both of them to stay on at Schalke."
