Season ticket uncertaintyAll you need to know about West Ham United FC's potential move to Stratford.

Season ticket uncertainty
Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong forum- it seemed like a better fit as it regards the OS rather than general day to day club stuff.
I'm strongly considering getting a season ticket for next year - I live in Plymouth and have traveled up for about 5-10 games a season the last few years... So far this year I've spent a small fortune once I factor everything in, and obviously I haven't been able to get tickets so readily this season, so I'm figuring a Band 5 ST would be a good way to offset the expense of travelling. Here's my reservations;
The View - is it going to be horrendous? On the whole I'm not that fussed, but I'd rather not buy a ST and then hate where I'm sat!
Leaving an Empty Seat/Giving My Ticket Away - I won't be able to make every match as I'm self employed and usually work Saturdays, so I'd still only be able to manage around 10 matches max anyway, so if I get a season ticket am I able to 'give' it to someone else (I'm thinking members of this forum specifically) easily enough? The last thing I want is to potentially deprive someone else of an affordable ticket and leave an empty seat.
Should I perhaps go to a few matches at the OS first and decide after? Are there even Band 5 tickets left!?
Apologies for the essay too, I can waffle on...
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the stadium is almost sold out. Join the waiting/priority list behind 10k others mate (feel free to correct me on the amount in that list)
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
In all honesty mate, if you haven't yet joined the waiting list I shouldn't worry too much about who you can and can't give it away to. I would suggest you haven't got a chance of getting one for next season. The second season in I would say you have a fair chance
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Was told 35k at my appointment on Monday

Uppereastside on Thu Apr 14, 2016 4:46 pm
Just back from my apt, easy and quick , quite pleased with the view, said they had around 2,000 left if I recall. Said something like 40k on the waiting list.
All very professional and helpful, all in all impressed.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
40,000 on waiting list? That means together with those sold 100,000 fans want tickets .... and certain factions said we'd never fill it.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Well, that's me told them I guess!
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
We will sell out, but I would not read too much into the 40,000 waiting list. This figure will include a lot of people that have taken out memberships to be able to enter the ballot for the last two games at the Boleyn.
There is no way we have 90,000 people wanting a season ticket.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Quite a few of them multi applying touts...
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
If you don't get yourself sorted then feel free to PM me next season, I sit amongst a group of fans numbering about 50 that migrated across as a block...so there should be a spare or two for most games in amongst that lot.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Correct, I know a few who bought memberships this year to give them chance of tickets this season but will certainly not be buying ST.
Any idea of how many ST have, or expected to be sold, for next year (excluding the mythical waiting list)?
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Well, according to the posts on this thread in the last two pages, we will have sold about 48,000. The 30,000- 40,000 are people who have paid £10.00 to go on a waiting list and we are currently working through those who applied last July.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the remaining additional 6,000 tickets offered in May.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
I'm on the list, no idea where but I'm not confident of getting a chance at a ST for next season.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Im sure there will tens of thousands of spare seats for cup games that are obviously not included in STs. Also after year one Im sure many of the £99 kids STs will not be renewed by fans who didnt actually end up making much use of them.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
The salesman at my appointment last week said we had sold 45,000 regular tickets and 3,000 corporate which confirms your figure of 48,000. He also said there were around 2,000 tickets left. I believe 50,000 is the maximum number of season tickets they can sell when you factor in away support, the commitment to Newham and match day sales.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
I've given up hope now. I applied on the sixth of August but can't believe that I will fall into the 2000 left.
Hope it will be easy enough to get tickets as a member next year
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
Even when we get to finals (rare) semi finals and huge games, our club gets tickets returned,
There's thousands upon thousands of plus ones and twos and kids tickets with z securing deposit only one, I know people who only did this because it was offered to them and was cheap as chips, if when push comes to shove and the rest of the monies are demanded to secure those extras but those people don't have the funds these tickets will not only become available but be offered to those waiting, they may even be offered as single tickets to single seat ticket holders in **** band 4 or 5 that expressed displeasure at not having an ability to get a 1 2 or 3 band or corporate ticket
That will open up tickets
Trust me there will be tickets to fulfill the real demand
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
just out of interest what will be left over for general sale at the OS
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
I spoke to the reservation centre and the chap I spoke to said 4000. He appeared to revel in telling me that there was bob hope of getting a season ticket this year and getting a match ticket as a member next year would be a nightmare
Feeling pretty dismayed by the whole thing but as was said above, hope there's a chance that a lot of plus ones and kids seats were impulse buys
Even more frustrating when in the last month alone I've heard from an Arsenal taxi driver that he and seven of his gooner mates have all got tickets, a family of Liverpool supporters I know have all got tickets and some prick from work got one just to make money on it.
Re: Season ticket uncertainty
^^^ I was able to get a Season ticket along with my Dad, Brother & his young Son. I won't be happy if there's non West Ham Supporters around me not cheering us on.
There really should have been people with a history of ticket purchasing that were able to get Season Tickets 1st, so unfair on people like you StaffordIron.

Gregory will address the issues surrounding the PPE and will describe best practices for optimal health outcomes.
Gregory is a board certified pediatric sports medicine specialist with Lakeview Medical Center in Suffolk. He is a graduate of the Medical College of Virginia and the pediatric residency program at the Naval Regional Medical Center in Portsmouth, Va. He serves on a variety of boards and committees related to athletic training and sports medicine, and he is the team physician for Western Branch High School in Chesapeake, Va.
The Distinguished Lecture Series in Sports Medicine is designed for health care professionals with an interest in physically active patients, and is intended for students, educators and clinicians alike. It is co-sponsored by Shoreline Orthopaedics, Holland Hospital, Orthopaedic Associates of Michigan and the college.
The other addresses for 2008-09 will be presented on Monday, Dec. 1; Monday, Jan. 12; and Monday, April 13. Additional information about the series may be found online at https://hope.edu/academic/kinesiology/athtrain/ dlssm/index.html

Long weekend update: Seth Meyers has married Alexi Ashe!
The "Saturday Night Live" head writer and "Weekend Update" anchor, 39, who is poised to take over "Late Night" from Jimmy Fallon in 2014, wed his longtime girlfriend in an intimate ceremony on Sunday on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, his rep told People.
The bride walked down the aisle in a cap-sleeve lace dress, and Meyers wore a dark-colored suit, according to Us Weekly.
Ashe's parents reportedly own a house on Martha's Vineyard, and the couple have been frequent vacationers to the New England island this summer and in previous years, Yahoo omg reported.
At their star-studded affair, the bride and groom were joined by about 150 guests including Olivia Munn, Allison Williams, Ali Larter, Rashida Jones, Tony Shaloub, Nick Jones, Jack McBrayer and Meyer's "SNL" buddies Lorne Michaels, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Taran Killam, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig, Will Forte and Kenan Thompson, according to several reports.
Meyers met Ashe, a human-rights lawyer, at another wedding a few years ago, and the couple announced their engagement in July.
"I tied [the engagement ring] in a bow around our dog's collar," the funnyman told People. But his now-wife came home a little later than expected.
"I just had to sit there looking at the dog. I was like, 'The dog's going to eat the ring!' "
They got the nuptial ball rolling quick, even though Meyers was busy promoting his Hulu series "The Awesomes" over the summer.
On Saturday, the couple hosted an outdoor rehearsal dinner at Beetlebung Farm House. Guests sat at tables that boasted freshly grown produce and flowers.
Congrats to the Mr. and Mrs.!

World had fourth warmest January
The globe cozied up to the fourth warmest January on record this year, essentially leaving just the eastern half of the United States out in the cold.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Thursday that Earth was 1.17 degrees warmer last month than the 20th century average. Since records began in 1880, only 2002, 2003 and 2007 started off warmer than this year.
Almost all of Africa, South America and Australia and most of Asia and Europe were considerably warmer than normal. China and France had their second warmest Januaries. Land in the entire Southern Hemisphere was hottest for January on record.
While more than half of America shivered last month, it was one of the few populated spots on Earth cooler than normal.

I entered the field of psychology from a need to understand my "wounded" self and also wanted to help others. In my mid-twenties, I sought personal therapy for the complex trauma memories I was struggling with and was also in training to become a psychotherapist. I thought that perhaps the rigor of a Master's degree would help free me from the burnout, anguish, and body pain that were constant companions.
Academics wasn't the answer to my problems, neither was understanding. Talking and thinking were not an effective healing approach, at least, not for me. What I had stumbled upon in 1993 is now backed by science. Current research tells us that trauma resides in areas of the brain, nervous system and body, not the thinking brain. Energy Psychology approaches I employ reduce limbic stress, shift the subconscious mind, and create more ease in the body, thereby, reducing the hold life tensions can have on us.

Police kill man suspected of firing at CMPD officers
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say an officer shot and killed a man who was wanted for allegedly firing at officers Monday night in west Charlotte.
Devaron Ricardo Wilburn, 21, was shot about 10 p.m. Wednesday in a confrontation with police at the Intown Suites, in the 7700 block of North Tryon Street. No other injuries were reported.
Investigators had been working for nearly two days to identify the man who allegedly fired at police about 10:45 p.m. Monday near a convenience store on West Trade Street near Fifth Street.
On Wednesday, police said Wilburn refused to surrender before being shot by a 20-year veteran officer. Investigators said Wilburn "presented a weapon" during the confrontation that led to the shooting.
And late Thursday, police said a ballistic examination showed that Wilburn's gun had been fired. The examination didn't show whether Wilburn or officers shot first.
A woman who identified herself as Wilburn's grandmother declined to comment to a reporter who knocked on the door of an address listed for Wilburn.
Police directives and North Carolina law allow an officer to use force when he considers it "reasonably necessary to defend him or herself or another person from what the officer reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of deadly physical force."
Police identified Wilburn on Wednesday afternoon and issued warrants for his arrest. They then asked any members of the public who knew of Wilburn's whereabouts to call 911 or the Violent Criminal Apprehension Team.
Shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday, police said they received a 911 call from a person who reported seeing Wilburn near the motel, a short distance north of the North Tryon-University City Boulevard intersection. The first officers to arrive on the scene reported seeing a man matching the description of Wilburn enter a third-story room at the Intown Suites.
Police said they moved motel residents to a safe location and set up a perimeter around the room. Members of VCAT were called in. They said a woman in the room came out voluntarily, but they said negotiations with Wilburn failed.
At that point, according to police spokesman Officer Keith Trietley, the suspect "presented a weapon at officers." Police said Officer David Michaud, a VCAT member who has been with the department since 1994, shot Wilburn in the abdomen.
Wilburn was taken by Medic to Carolinas Medical Center, where he died.
No officers were injured.
Police said Wednesday's shooting will launch an Internal Affairs investigation, to determine whether department policies and procedures were followed.
Police are also investigating the initial shooting incident allegedly involving Wilburn on Monday night.
In that incident, police said they were called about 10:45 p.m. to the 1800 block of West Trade Street, after a report that a man armed with a handgun had threatened another man. Police said they tried talking to the suspect, but he ran off and fired at officers.
Officer Christopher Miranda returned fire, but police said neither officers nor the suspect was hit by gunfire.
Police said Michaud and Miranda are on paid administrative leave, which is customary in cases of police-involved shootings.
Court records show that Wilburn had been arrested four times in the past 18 months, although in three cases the charges were misdemeanors. Last Sept. 16, according to records, Wilburn was arrested on felony charges of breaking and entering, and larceny.
The Violent Criminal Apprehension Team specializes in capturing fugitives and dealing with what the department calls "the most violent offenders operating or located within the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County."
CMPD says members of the team receive specialized, SWAT-style training in dealing with fugitives and violent criminals.

Mitsubishi Lancer 2007 and earlier
I've sent away for a Lancer brochure from Mitsubishi but I was wondering if anyone in Town Hall has any information about this upcoming model. I'm putting it on my shopping list.
Thanks. Happy motoring.
It's unfortunate but there isn't much interest on these boards re: the soon to be ended Mirage or the new Lancer. I agree with you, it seems to be a decent compact car. And as I have no brand loyalty to Honda, Toyota, etal., I too will put the new Lancer on my list of potential compact cars to test drive when the time comes to buy.0
Im kinda interested in it, but the 120hp isnt to exciting... And the OZ Rally isnt even close to being anything more than the base sedan w/ minor body kit and aftermarket rims... (Wheres the Evo or at least an incarnation of the EVO?!)
But, It looks to stack well up against the field... Namely the Civic and Focus.
How was the rather wierrdly-perportioned roofline in person?0
Glad to see there is some interest in this car
The roofline is high. It's a tallish car; picture a Toyota Echo that has gone to finishing school. The roof is high but long and the car doesn't look like it will fall over. Plus, the 15" wheels do a better job of filling out the wheel wells so the car doesn't look like a toy.
As a result of the high roof the passenger compartment is huge. I think it is a bit bigger than the Civic and it really puts the Corolla away. I think the Elantra comes close for interior size. Plus, the interior materials used were top-notch. Even had a fold-down armrest for the back seat and some decent-looking plood on the dash.
Agree with above statement about the OZ rally model. Better to save your money and go for the LS (no stick, though). You'll probably have to wait for the Evo VII to arrive in 2003 for some true fun.
I think overall the Lancer may be a worthy competitor to the Civic/Corolla and certainly nicer inside and out than the Neon or Cavalier. I still see some Tredias and Cordias around every now and then. Mitsu must be doing something right with reliability.
If I see/hear any news about the Lancer I will post here. I read Mitsu is planning a big ad blitz before the Lancer goes on sale.
lngtonge18 Posts: 2,228Anyone know if Mitsu is going to sell a Lancer coupe? Or are they killing the Mirage coupe completely? I certainly hope not, because the Mirage coupe is one of the only competitors to the Civic coupe and it is a nice sporty car. Plus, I see a lot more Mirage coupes on the road than I do the sedan. I think it would be a mistake to kill the better selling model and having a coupe would be in line with Mitsu's sportier persona.0
Just a sedan for now.0
Drove one, walked away disgusted... Sporty my [non-permissible content removed]! That thing couldnt even take bumps without trying to bounce off the road! Im sure the lancer will be a much sportier, more rounded car considering the chasis and multi-link suspension.
BTW, Coupes are going the way of the dodo, cause the rest of the world could care less... Us americans need to step up to the program and realize 2-doors does not mean anything :P0
ludacris Posts: 185from the pictures ive seen (yellow lancer OZ edition) the car looks sorta odd. it maybe the color, or the grille, i dont know. i think it should be a competant car, but that grille doesnt work for me...0
Anyone know when the Lancer will hit dealer showrooms?0
gurumike Posts: 442I think the regular car is out this fall with the Evo VII comming in the latter part of next year. Can't wait! I just blew off getting a WRX and got a 330i instead as the STi comes out end next year so I really can't wait for the end of the 2 year lease! But which will be the car to pick?? Evo 7 or Sti? Damn!!0
Board is way too quiet, no other Mitsu fans? I like Mitsu -- too many Honda this, Toyota thats on the road. Mitsu stands out from the import crowd -- and it's cars are actually made in Japan unlike the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, etc...0
thecarconnection.com has a new review of the 2002 Lancer. They are lukewarm to it. Edmunds, will you have a review soon?0
I just found this great site which has great comparisons and reviews on the new Lancer Evo. I like his views since he is an unbiased source from Hong Kong, and sticks to facts, not feelings. His entire site rocks, and he gets no income from it what-so-ever.
Main Page:
Review of Evo:
<http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Track/9120/html/Mitsubishi1.htm#Lancer GSR>
The editor feels that Evos performance is much better than the Subaru WRX, and also even better than the Subaru Sti. The only drawback on Evo compared to the Sti is that the Evo has a 5-speed while the Sti has a 6-speed (WRX has 5-speed), and the Evo rides a little rougher. He feels that the Sti is the REAL competitor to the Evo. I feel the same since they should come out in the US at about the same time (some time in 2002) and equivalent performance.
Who really cares though, the Impreza is as ugly as sin, and the EVO rocks!
I think the only thing left to consider is the reliability. With the new Mitsubishi restructuring and Global market targeting, you never know.0
More information that other Lancer reviews I've read elswhere. The car will stand out from the Hondas, Toyotas, Hyundais that are all over, simply because Mitsu has been a lower-volume seller. The car looks good, exceptional level of content on even the base car..all I need to know is has mileage. As to the EVO, that is of no interest to me. I am looking for a solid, reliable daily commuter. Anyway, it's good to see Edmunds review one of the 'second-tier' Japanese car companies.0
Hi friends,
Catherine Heins is looking for people to interview who have switched from American to Japanese cars in the past few years-- especially folks who wouldn't have given a Toyota or Honda the time of day in the 1970s.
She's a business reporter at the Yomiuri Shimbun, which is the biggest daily paper in Japan with a circulation of 14 million. They are writing a feature story about Japanese automakers' continuing success in expanding production in the U.S. and snatching market share from the Big Three even on their former home turf of light trucks.
If you fit this description and are willing to be interviewed, please call her directly at 212-582-5827 or e-mail her at [email protected]. As always, you can contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Edmunds.com's just-published "First Drive" of the 2002 Lancer is available by following the link in the Additional Resources box on the left sidebar of this page.
Here is an excerpt from the article written by John DiPietro:
- "Devoid of gimmickry, the style of the Lancer is purposeful and clean. The large, classy grille and headlights reminded some of us of a Lexus'. And the smooth profile and simple taillight treatment furthered the impression of an upscale appearance. Mitsubishi gave the interior a more luxurious feel, as well, with upgraded materials along with woodtone and metallic accents for the dash and center console."
Sedans and Women's Auto Center Message Boards0
Judging by the lack of posters, I'd say Mitsu is gonna have a hard time reaching potential buyers who are considering other imports in this class. Me, I'm looking for something that not every third person in the US of A buys, so I will test drive the Lancer come August.0
wie_gehts Posts: 30The Mitsu Mirage has always been called "Lancer" in Europe and probably in Japan, too. Therefore, I conclude the Lancer is simply the next Mirage with a uniform name for all countries now. I must admit, it looks very nice in the picture. would definitely give it a try as everyone seems to have a boring Civic or Corolla.
Also, in Europe they sell the Mitsu Charisma which is sort of in between the Mirage/Lancer and Galant. This car is based on the Volvo S40 platform and built in Holland.0
russthelm Posts: 1I am investigating the aftermarket potential of the new Lancer. While its hp rating is low, I feel there will be a lot of people who buy them for the low cost and uniqueness. One advantage is that it will share some parts with its Evolution VII counterpart. I have not seen its engine code yet, but if it is a 4G63 there may be some things that can be done there too. If there is enough interest, I will probably sell some parts for it (I dislike Honda and Toyota, so I want to get into something that other people are not). I just thought I would throw this out and see what some peoples response is.
Anyone know what kind of mileage the Lancer is supposed to get?0
From the Autoweek web site:
"Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII coming to U.S.?
Even though the company says it's still under study, Rhys Millen, Mitsubishi's factory-sponsored driver, says the Lancer Evolution VII will be sold in the United States next year.
Mitsubishi's American sales arm showed a Japan- market version of the all- wheel-drive, turbocharged, 2.0-liter 276-hp rally car at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, but would not confirm its intentions to sell the Evo here.
Its official stance is "maybe." U.S.-market test cars are having difficulty with crash testing because of the car's front-mounted intercooler, one source said."
Like I said before, the Lancer EVO VII is coming in 2002 as a 2003 model. Let all rejoice, and lets gets people talking. COME ON PEOPLE!0
ashutoshsm Posts: 1,007You should consider the Mazda Protege! Especially the ES.
As good as either of these two, and very reliable, much sportier drive, better engine, and IMHO, a nicer interior. Not to mention more space in the back seat and a larger trunk. And lots of standard 'options' that you'd have to pay extra for in the Honda or Toyota.0
Like most folk, I'm looking for a solid daily commuter, not some gussied-up rally car. But if stop light racing in your thing, okay by me.0
although i didn't go to the japan site to check the exact engine code for the lancer (as opposed to evo), but from 2002lancer.com, stroke/bore is way off. plus it's a sohc0

Dan Jedlicka gives the Lancer a solid 7 in this week's review at msn.carpoint. Given the lack of response in this forum, I must be among the few folks out in the real world who are anticipating test driving the new Lancer. Well, that's okay by me. Gimme a solid daily driver that every third person in the US doesn't own.0
74birdman Posts: 3While out looking for the right car we passed our local Mitsubishi dealership he has a yellow one in the shop for it's destination service and inspection. He also has a white one and a black one the white and black models are possibly the Rally edition.0
csandste Posts: 1,866I recently purchased a Hyundai Elantra GLS. I compared it with a number of cars, specifically the Corolla/Prizm and the Civic. I'd really wondered whether Japanese companies were losing it. Although the Corolla S I drove is in its last two years, I really think that Toyota products have regressed since the last '93-'96? generation. The Hyundai was much, much nicer, more modern, etc.
I've gotta say, however, that the Lancer is a very, very attractive car. I've owned a number of Mitsubishi products in the eighties and I think that this is a very nice change from the last generation car. Hopefully between this and the new Nissan Altima, we'll finally be getting some interesting Japanese cars back in the mix.0
OK, progress at last. Went by my local Mitsu dealer in Central NJ but no Lancers were visible on the lot or in the showroom. Anyone got window sticker info...specifically MSRP and EPA mileage info?0

Editor's Summary
Traditional citation counting for evaluating scholarly impact unfairly benefits those in North America and Europe and shortchanges the alternative scholars of the developing world. Alternative metrics more accurately measure the impact of scholarly writings, better serve all scholars and can foster a research culture that supports national development goals. The current system favors dominant journals and topics of interest to the prevailing scientific community, captured by the leading bibliographic databases. Yet publishing on platforms more open to underrepresented journals and scholars in developing nations would promote a greater range of ideas and scholarly exchange. With facilitating international development in mind, scholarly communication should encourage research on topics of local and national relevance and be presented through globally accessible channels, disseminated by social media. Publishing technology barriers to participation must be lowered. The value of altmetrics will be evident, providing advantages to alternative scholars, serving public needs and revealing scientific contributions long underrepresented in the standard literature.

Ask Not What Altmetrics Can Do for You, But What Altmetrics Can Do for Developing Countries
by Juan Pablo Alperin
The future of scholarly communication needs to be inclusive of diverse local contexts of the developing world and tailored to address national development goals, not simply address the needs of scholars working from privileged positions in the global North, including North America and Europe. However, a recent and unprecedented number of visionary minds have been attempting to reshape scholarly communications through the introduction of new journals, new technologies, new services and, most recently, new metrics, specifically altmetrics, which focus on measuring scholarly impact in the online environment and away from citation counting. These efforts are borne from a desire to break away from the limitations of the current system of communicating and carrying out research. Yet, most scholars, who have a tremendous effect on global scholarly communication practices, have simply ignored the fact that the legacies of the current system are the most pervasive, or most abhorrent, in the developing world. In this essay, I argue for the potential for altmetrics to serve what I am calling alternative scholars and, by doing so, challenge the current global order of scholarly communications that heavily favors the North.
The legacies of the current system work against developing countries in countless ways, but the most emblematic example is the role of international bibliographic databases. These repositories purport to be objective but, in reality, provide journal rankings that highly handicap underrepresented journals from developing nations. Unfortunately, these rankings continue to be used by universities, funding agencies and governments (including those from developing countries themselves) to determine the incentives that guide authors decisions as to where to publish. These incentives lead to an outpouring of the best scholarship from developing countries to journals of the North. This, in turn, has two perverse effects. First, it encourages authors in developing countries to research and publish on topics of interest to the North American and European scientific communities. Second, it discourages dialogue among scholars in developing countries. These effects result in diminished local capacity or research that is less likely to speak to local needs and a less cohesive, less national collaborative network of scientists.
Yet, despite such examples, the future of scholarly communication around the world may look markedly different from the closed and self-serving system of the past. As economic, political and technological forces reshape the scholarly communication landscape, it is now possible to imagine forms of scholarly exchange that can help foster a platform for those who have traditionally been excluded from it. The alternative metrics movement altmetrics is one such force.
There are many reasons to be excited about the increasing interest and development of altmetrics, many of which are outlined in this special issue of the Bulletin and in the growing body of research around altmetrics. For example, altmetrics is lauded by those who believe the current models and tools for scholarly communication are stifling innovation and hindering discovery [1] [2]. While I agree and share in this excitement, I will argue in this essay that the future of scholarly communication should be about more than bringing better knowledge discovery, increased productivity and new ways of measuring impact to the scientific elite. Instead, I argue that scholarly communication needs to serve all scholars, including those working from the scientific periphery. Fortunately, the two goals need not be incompatible.
The Alternative Scholar
Altmetrics supporters can help us move beyond the journal article as the only source of scholarly output that is valued and beyond citations as the only way of validating what we read. That is, the alt- part simultaneously means alternative types of research products [2] and alternative types of metrics (that is, alternatives to citation counting) [4]. However, I am proposing yet another meaning of alt-: an alternative scholar. By alternative scholar, I am suggesting that altmetrics can serve those at the margins of the current system: those working with scarce resources or in areas of scholarship that are not in vogue or without the latest in publishing technologies and, most importantly, those for whom research and publishing are carried out with different objectives than in the North. While alternative scholars can be found all over the world, they are disproportionately found in the developing world. And while the remainder of this essay focuses there, much is applicable to alternative scholars everywhere. By addressing the needs of alternative scholars, altmetrics can have a very different (alternative!) type of impact. Most importantly, altmetrics can foster a research culture that supports national development goals.
To understand what I mean, we must first look more broadly at the relationship between research and national development. Many view the link between research and development primarily in economic terms: the argument is premised on the idea that promoting research leads to knowledge creation, innovation, patents, links to industry and so forth all of which boost the economy with increased efficiencies or by capturing the revenue of new products. While true in many respects, this mechanism is predicated on a mature and consolidated research system. It does not explain how changes in scholarly communication can support this consolidation. Furthermore, proponents of this view of development undervalue research that does not have direct economic benefit, regardless of its potential relevance to the society it is derived from. What, then, does a system of scholarly communications that supports national development goals look like? And what is the role of altmetrics in the requisite transformation?
First, scholarly communications for development must facilitate and encourage the formation of research communities at the local, national and regional levels. Altmetrics help cultivate such networks by bringing an otherwise invisible community of researchers onto the global stage with the use of social media. While an article may not receive many citations, data on who is downloading, bookmarking, tweeting or Facebook liking an article can allow academics to see who is utilizing their research and provide the opportunity to engage with their community of users. Even if researchers focused solely on increasing their altmetric scores, the effect, regardless of the motivation, is the same in the end: attention through social media use promotes ongoing conversations about otherwise unseen research.
Second, scholarly communication for development must encourage research that is socially relevant and that is inclusive of local contexts. And altmetrics can play an important role in this regard. As elsewhere, altmetrics may change the way that research is evaluated by promotion and tenure committees, by research funders and by governments in the developing world. The successful adoption of altmetrics in researcher evaluations would allow scholars to count (and thereby measure and be rewarded for) non-scholarly use of their research (that is, public use), as well as for the use of non-traditional research products. Such a shift would foster a system that is attuned to the public interest and that addresses local, public needs. By contrast the current system of citation measures rewards researchers for producing research articles and publishing them in databases where developing country journals are underrepresented. The result is an incentive system that rewards researching problems of North American and European interest. Altmetrics may change this focus and offer the opportunity to direct funding to researchers, journals, projects or institutions that have proven themselves relevant to interests of developing nations.
Finally, scholarly communication for development must allow scholars from the developing world to assert their worldview on a global stage. Altmetrics can provide the necessary measures for garnering attention from an audience that might otherwise consider the work irrelevant or of low quality. It can also facilitate discovery through social media channels that are more inclusive and democratic than publishers and citation databases. Metrics and tools that can do both of these things have the potential to reverse decades of marginalization in the current system. However, the reversal is neither guaranteed nor automatic. Social media usage is more prominent in the North than in the South, which could lead to skewed results if care is not taken at the time of displaying and interpreting the metrics. While the implications of this imbalance for altmetrics are unclear, no similar metrics have existed until now. And any set of metrics that gives scholars in the developing world the possibility of being on equal footing with scholars in other parts of the world have promise.
Many of altmetrics benefits can be realized through the standard altmetrics tools available today. However, there are certain limitations that must still be addressed for altmetrics to serve the alternative scholar. First and foremost, the available metrics must be relevant for the developing country scholar communities. The sources of metrics queried by altmetric tools must, for example, include non-English databases. Mentions in Wikipedia must query all available languages, not just English. Citations must come from regional sources such as SciELO, not just the standard Web of Science and Scopus. Mentions in blogs cannot be harvested only from blog collections that are predominantly from the North. What sources are included in altmetrics data aggregators is not a neutral choice. By tailoring altmetrics to the scientific community of the North, altmetrics would inadvertently replicate the exclusion of developing countries that has plagued the traditional measures of impact that is, a system biased to give higher scores to journals of the North.
Furthermore, in order to be relevant in the developing world, altmetric tools must also be compatible with the less sophisticated publishing technologies employed by small publishers. The current over-reliance on Crossrefs digital object identifier (DOI) by altmetric providers is problematic. DOIs provide a permanent identifier to articles so that if the URL of an article changes over time, or if there are multiple copies of an article, they can all be uniquely and permanently identified. While the service that Crossref provides is invaluable, DOIs are also disproportionately allocated to journals from the North (and even there, they are disproportionally used by STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] journals over those from the social sciences and humanities). While Crossref has made concerted efforts to lower the barriers for participation, the financial, administrative, technological and language barriers continue to hamper their adoption in the rest of the world. Yet, there are no technical reasons why altmetrics need to rely on the presence of DOIs. DOIs simply provide a convenience that allows altmetrics to be implemented more easily, at the expense of the countless researchers who publish in journals that have not yet adopted the system.
I do not purport to be qualified to provide a complete list of implementation shortfalls. This task is one that I put to altmetric providers and that I ask everyone working to improve scholarly communication to consider. In this essay, I only intend to broaden the possibilities and chart new directions as the altmetrics movement moves forward. These possibilities are far greater than increased efficiency and broader dissemination, but they can only be brought about if we consider the needs of all scholars, including the alternative scholar.
Other parts of the developing world, Latin America being the most notable example, are already experimenting in a big way with different models of research communication. There is a realization that scholarly communication can serve the public interest and that the modes of scholarly communication from the North are not the appropriate models to follow. The wide adoption of open access (nearly 100% of all journals based in Latin America) is indicative of the regions desire to make the shift for itself. We are seeing an adoption of open source tools and a general amity towards openness in the developing world, just as the scholarly communication networks and channels in these regions consolidate. All these developments suggest that altmetrics would likely be well received and quickly adopted.
Once adopted, the impact of altmetrics will be more meaningful and far-reaching than in the North. To start, bringing altmetrics to work for the alternative scholar would be a step towards improving systems of higher education, towards steering research towards public needs and towards helping a large swath of the world population have a voice in a global order of science that currently undervalues their contributions. After that, the possibilities are endless. By bringing altmetrics to the developing world, and to alternative scholars everywhere, we can begin to generate a change in scholarly communication that reaches far beyond the walls of academia.

The FRIDGE - Gourmet Butchery and Delicatessan
'The Fridge' in Central Otago is a gourmet butchery and delicatessen famous for its customer service, tender meat cuts and delectable delicacies
It is an hour before opening at The Fridge, a gourmet butchery and delicatessen as famous for its customer service as it is for its tender meat cuts and delectable delicacies.
Out front it's empty and a little chilly (as the name suggests). Out back, fulsome fillets of recently smoked salmon rest on sheets of foil, oxtails sizzle on the stovetop, bright red baby peppers lay open ready for stuffing and a healthy flow of beef is emerging from the mincer.
The town of Alexandra is Central Otago's commercial hub and a seemingly unlikely location for a gourmet outlet, but shop butcher Bodean Cowley and chef Scott MacDonald are proving to be a winning combination who have more than their customers salivating.
"All the chefs Scott knows are jealous of us; jealous because no one else is doing this," says Bodean. "It's quite a novelty to do what we do."
The way they do things is paying off too. In November 2008 they gained silver in the gourmet section of The Great New Zealand Sausage Competition with their chicken, rocket and cashew sausage.
It made front page news in the local daily and demand jumped from 15kg a week to 25kg a day. That achievement was all the more amazing given that Bodean, who until he joined Scott at The Fridge in 2007, had never made small goods (sausages, salami). "Anyone can learn to do it, but learning to do it well is the difference," says Bodean.
Bodean's early career was in local supermarket butcheries and while he enjoyed the work and fun atmosphere, two short overseas stints opened his eyes to their limitations.
"You don't make small goods or bacon there and you don't serve customers. It's very different to a small butchery," he says.
Bodean's range of sausages include pork, apple, sage and thyme; lamb, feta, red onion and rosemary; pork and smokey bacon; Spanish chorizo; and Morroccan Merguez (spicy lamb).
No additives or preservatives are used and all have natural skins and fresh herbs prepared by Scott. "Little things make the difference," says Bodean.
Scott pulls off a piece of salmon from a fillet. "Taste this," he says. It's a melt-in-your-mouth explosion of flavour – divine. The Salmon arrives fresh and is salted that same evening. The next morning it is smoked to perfection.
Ordering and planning are very important and "there's no wastage," says Scott who is cooking up the fins from the salmon – popular, tasty morsels. Other leftover parts of the fish are used to make stock; the same goes for rib bones, which is further refined to jus for gravy.
Scott's legendary pork pies are made using pork, salt, flour and water, even the fat is rendered down and used in the pastry. The excess juice from the baby red peppers is used to dress Scott's noodle salad. Sausage rolls are made from leftover sausage meat and stripped thyme stalks are put into the manuka wood chips used to smoke the Salmon.
Bodean takes great pride in the quality of their meat. Beef is dry aged for two to three weeks to enhance tenderness and flavour. It is hung in a chiller with good air circulation, where it is protected by the animal's fat on one side and its bones on the other, explains Bodean.
"People who know food can tell," he says. "Fresh meat is bland by comparison."
Service is their other great passion. They estimate that somewhere between a third and a half of the food they sell goes out of town.
All the rest is sold over the counter. "The service is just as important as the quality of the food we put out," says Bodean. "Customers love it when Scott has a yarn with them; and we joke around with each other – they like that, too."
Says Scott: "We know everyone who walks in here and if we don't, we ask them where they're from."
There's a tap at the door. It is exactly opening time and the first customer has arrived. "Hello m'lady," says Scott resplendent in a blue and white striped apron.
Inside, the cabinets are brimming seductively with roast vegetable salad, duck and porcini paté, French cheeses, olive tapenade, pinot noir onion marmalade, dried pork and garlic sausage, lamb racks, pork ribeye, aged sirloin, bacon, sausages and so much more.
The Fridge is open.

In an effort to attract more users, DVD-kiosk service Redbox is running a promo from February 26 to March 1 where customers can rent a game for a day at no cost. The deal offers a choice of 30 different video games — Super Mario Bros. Wii, Soul Calibur V, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 included — for consoles such as the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii.
Of course, with games usually available from Redbox for $2 a day, it's a modest saving, but hey, a freebie's a freebie. After the first day, if the game isn't returned, the usual rate applies and it becomes not a freebie.
Redbox's website explains that the offer is only for online reservations and that a payment card is required.
Those interested simply need to head over to the offer's web page and click on the game they'd like to rent. You then enter your zip code whereupon you'll be presented with a list of kiosks in your area holding the game. Choose the kiosk, hit rent and proceed to the checkout page – new users will be asked to sign up first, of course.
Redbox will be hoping the promotion goes towards increasing awareness among consumers that yes, besides movie rentals, games are also available as part of its service. The company only rolled out game rentals nationwide in June of last year, so it evidently feels the need to give the fairly new service a bit of a push.
The offer should also ensure that it picks up a number of new members — members that will pay for rentals after having taken advantage of the free offer.
Coinstar's Redbox has been having a busy time of it lately, with the company recently announcing it would be taking on video streaming giant Netflix by joining forces with Verizon later this year to offer its own streaming service. The move comes in response to Redbox's realisation that consumers are moving away from DVD rentals in favor of online services and to survive it has no choice but to move with the times. Only this week it was reported that 33 percent of existing Blockbuster stores — that's 500 in all — would be closing down nationwide, though arguably this has as much to do with Redbox surrounding many Blockbuster stores with its kiosks as it does with consumers moving away from physical rentals.
Redbox was founded in 2002 and currently has some 30,000 kiosks around the US, located in a wide range of establishments such as convenience stores and pharmacies.

And then there were eight - here are the players that stood out for us in round 4 of the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers…
1. Graham Brody (Laois)
If the All-Star awards were handed out in July, the O'Moore County man would be a strong contender for the number one jersey.
2. Peter Kelly (Kildare)
Another effective performance from the 2010 All-Star who has really stood up and been counted for the Lilywhites.
3. Drew Wylie (Monaghan)
The no-nonsense Farney County full-back proved to be the rock on which many a Laois attack perished in Pairc Tailteann.
4. Colm Begley (Laois)
It wasn't to be for Begley and Laois against Monaghan but progress has been made this year under John Sugrue.
5. Karl O'Connell (Monaghan)
The attack-minded O'Connell exerted a big influence on proceedings in Navan and kicked two points for Malachy O'Rourke's side.
6. Frank Burns (Tyrone)
The Pomeroy clubman has very much been to the fore throughout the Red Hands' march through the back door.
7. Kevin Flynn (Kildare)
The newcomer to the Kildare half-back line enjoyed an industrious outing as they secured their place in the Super 8s.
8. Enda Smith (Roscommon)
With a contribution of 2-1, Smith's finger prints were all over the Rossies' thrilling victory over Armagh in O'Moore Park.
9. Padraig Hampsey (Tyrone)
The versatile Hampsey and his Tyrone team-mates inflicted a comprehensive 16-point defeat on the Rebels.
10. Rory Grugan (Armagh)
Grugan may have spurned a penalty opportunity against Roscommon but he took the game to the opposition throughout and kicked five points.
11. Cathal Cregg (Roscommon)
The experienced Cregg rolled back the years to produce a display of the top drawer variety and raised three white flags.
12. Ciarain Murtagh (Roscommon)
Along with Smith and Cregg, Murtagh - who sent over 0-6 - pointed the way for Kevin McStay's team.
13. Conor McAliskey (Tyrone)
McAliskey showed no mercy to Cork when hitting 1-6 (1-2 from play) before his 50th minute withdrawal in the Portlaoise rout.
14. Daniel Flynn (Kildare)
The supremely talented Flynn has been criticised for a lack of consistency in the past but he has delivered big time for the Lilywhites in recent weeks.
15. Conor McManus (Monaghan)
Clipped over five points as the O'Moore County were put to the sword in clinical fashion yesterday.

There's a delicious irony in some of the testimony on cybersecurity that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hear today (starting at 2:30 Eastern — it's unclear from the hearing's page whether it will be live-streamed). Former National Security Agency general counsel Stewart Baker flubs a basic mathematical concept.
If Congress credits his testimony, is it really equipped to regulate the Internet in the name of "cybersecurity"?
Baker's written testimony (not yet posted) says, stirringly, "Our vulnerabilities, and their consequences, are growing at an exponential rate." He's stirring cake batter, though. Here's why.
Exponential growth occurs when the growth rate of the value of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value. It's nicely illustrated with rabbits. If in week one you have two rabbits, and in week two you have four, you can expect eight rabbits in week three and sixteen in week four. That's exponential growth. The number of rabbits each week dictates the number of rabbits the following week. By the end of the year, the earth will be covered in rabbits. (The Internet provides us an exponents calculator, you see. Try calculating 2^52.)
The vulnerabilities of computers, networks, and data may be growing. But such vulnerabilities are not a function of the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit. Baker is riffing on Moore's Law, which describes long-term exponential growth in computing power.
Instead, vulnerabilities will generally be a function of the number of implementations of information technology. A new protocol may open one or more vulnerabilities. A new piece of software may have one or more vulnerabilities. A new chip design may have one or more vulnerabilities. Interactions between various protocols and pieces of hardware and software may create vulnerabilities. And so on. At worst, in some fields of information technology, there might be something like cubic growth in vulnerabilities, but it's doubtful that such a trend could last.
Why? Because vulnerabilities are also regularly closing. Protocols get ironed out. Software bugs get patched. Bad chip designs get fixed.
There's another dimension along which vulnerabilities are also probably growing. This would be a function of the "quantity" of information technology out there. If there are 10,000 instances of a given piece of software in use out there with a vulnerability, that's 10,000 vulnerabilities. If there are 100,000 instances of it, that's 10 times more vulnerabilities—but that's still linear growth, not exponential growth. The number of vulnerabilities grows in direct proportion to the number of instances of the technology.
Ignore the downward pressure on vulnerabilities, though, and put growth in the number of vulnerabilities together with the growth in the propogation of vulnerabilities. Don't you have exponential growth? No. You still have linear growth. The growth in vulnerability from new implementations of information technology and new instances of that technology multiply. Across technologies, they sum. They don't act as exponents to one another.
Baker uses "vulnerability" and "threat" interchangeably, but careful thinkers about risk wouldn't do this, I don't think. Vulnerability is the existence of weakness. Threat is someone or something animated to exploit it (a "hazard" if that thing is inanimate). Vulnerabilities don't really matter, in fact, if there isn't anyone to exploit them. Do you worry about the number of hairs on your body being a source of pain? No, because nobody is going to come along and pluck them all. You need to have a threat vector, or vulnerability is just idle worry.
Now, threats can multiply quickly online. When exploits to some vulnerabilities are devised, their creators can propogate them quickly to others, such as "script kiddies" who will run such exploits everywhere they can. Hence, the significance of the "zero-day threat" and the importance of patching software promptly.
As to consequence, Baker cites examples of recent hacks on HBGary, RSA, Verisign, and DigiNotar, as well as weakness in industrial control systems. This says nothing about growth rates, much less how the number of hacks in the last year forms the basis for more in the next. If some hacks allow other hacks to be implemented, that, again, would be a multiplier, not an exponent. (Generally, these most worrisome hacks can't be executed by script kiddes, so they are not soaring in numerosity. You know what happens to consequential hacks that do soar in numerosity? They're foreclosed by patches.)
Vulnerability and threat analyses are inputs into determinations about the likelihood of bad things happening. The next step is to multiply that likelihood against consequence. The product is a sense of how important a given risk is. That's risk assessment.
But Baker isn't terribly interested in acute risk management. During his years as Assistant Secretary for Policy at the Department of Homeland Security, the agency didn't do the risk management work that would validate or invalidate the strip-search machine/intrusive pat-down policy (and it still hasn't, despite a court order). The bill he's testifying in support of wouldn't manage cybersecurity risks terribly well, either, for reasons I'll articulate in a forthcoming post.
Do your representatives in Congress get the math involved here? Do they know the difference between exponential growth and linear growth? Do they "get" risk management? Chances are they don't. They may even parrot the "statistic" that Baker is putting forth. How well equipped do you suppose a body like that is for telling you how to do your cybersecurity?

Change of scenery?
Astros owner Drayton McLane said his team and the Washington Nationals have discussed the possibility of sharing a spring training complex proposed for a piece of land near Disney World.
The Astros have three years left on their lease in Kissimmee.
"The area we've discussed is still in Osceola County," McLane said, "and it's something we want to think about."
Early meeting
Manager Brad Mills, general manager Ed Wade and owner Drayton McLane addressed the Astros briefly before the team took the field for its first full-squad workout Sunday.
McLane said the fact his team is for sale and that this could be his final year in command was never mentioned for motivation or any other reason.
"Since we opened with pitchers and catchers about a week ago, that hasn't come up then or any other times," McLane said.
The entire team was present except for Bill Hall, who was excused for the birth of his daughter. He is expected to report Wednesday.
Sticker shock
Drayton McLane said the team was surprised by the decision of an arbitration panel to award outfielder Hunter Pence $6.9 million rather than the $5.15 million the team sought to pay him.
The decision in the case — the first the Astros lost since 1996 to break a streak of four wins – was announced Saturday.
"We thought we had a really great case and should have won," McLane said. "It surprised us, but that's the decision, and we said to Hunter we need to move forward."
Arias recovering
A customized slower progression through workouts hasn't prevented reliever Alberto Arias from feeling the effects of shoulder surgery after 10 months.
Arias was examined by team medical personnel after his Sunday throwing session and said that at times he feels 95 percent, at times 85 and at times weak. Pain-free, but just not feeling right.
"In the Dominican I felt very good, and I went to Houston two weeks ago and threw bullpens and felt 100 percent," said Arias, a righthander. "Now I don't feel very good."
Arias missed all of 2010 after injuring his shoulder in spring training and undergoing surgery in April. The Astros hope he can return to the pitcher he showed he could be when he compiled a 3.35 ERA in 42 appearances.
He was put on a schedule with two days off between bullpen sessions rather than the usual one day, but that might need to be changed.
Bunting 101 for Bourn
For Michael Bourn, spring training is always about working on his jumps and his routes and getting in shape.
This year, he has something else he specifically wants to work on – bunting.
Getting on base is everything for the leadoff man, and with his speed, bunting is a big part of the game. So he was discouraged when his bunt hits dropped from 17 in his team MVP year of 2009 to 10 last year.
"It's an easy hit for me, so if it's an easy hit, why not take advantage of it?" Bourn said. "I think I did an OK job, but I think I can do better."
He says he's being too quick and moving too much in his bunting action and wants to get into position.
Bourn's on-base percentage dropped 13 points from 2009 to 2010, from .354 to .341, but he led the league in steals for the second straight year.
Team is close
Position players have had one workout. That's enough, right? Time to make some cuts.
That or get rid of some of these darn writers.
See, the 62-going-on-63-man camp has produced exactly the expected result — an absolutely stuffed clubhouse. Minor leaguers are pushed to the farthest corners, with the newest addition, infielder Jose Carlos Thompson, practically lockering in the bathroom.
There aren't 63 usable lockers, or at least there weren't a few weeks ago, so the Astros created four makeshift units, narrowing an already narrow passage from pitchers' side to hitters' side. Add what should be among the largest media contingents of the spring, and the bonding that is expected to take place every spring will be quite easy. And perhaps literal.

Sondra Matterness called the Northwest Herald on Wednesday to clear up her involvement in a lawsuit filed on her behalf against sheriff candidate Andrew Zinke: Her car was there, but she wasn't.
Attorney Robert Hanlon filed the lawsuit Friday, alleging that Zinke illegally looked up the license plate of Matterness, who he describes in the lawsuit as "78 years of age with a bad hip," after Zinke was served with a subpoena to give a deposition in a case in which Hanlon is the defendant.
But the lawsuit's wording does not identify who served the subpoena on the night of Jan. 13. Matterness called Wednesday from Arizona to insist that she did not serve it and wasn't even in Illinois at the time. She let her friend, who serves such notices, use her car.
While she said she knew the lawsuit was going to be filed, she was surprised by the publicity it has received in local anti-Zinke blogs and the media. Zinke, who is presently county undersheriff, is locked in a contentious Republican primary race with former Des Plaines Police Cmdr. Bill Prim to replace retiring Sheriff Keith Nygren.
"I understood that none of this would come out in the paper," Matterness said.
The lawsuit alleges that Zinke yelled and screamed in response to getting the subpoena at his Woodstock home, raced outside in his socks "in an indignant rage" to stand in front of Matterness' car and take down her license plate before he "strutted back to his residence" and later ran Matterness' plate.
It is illegal to use the Law Enforcement Agencies Database System, also known as LEADS, for personal reasons.
Two calls to Matterness for follow-up questions were not returned, but Hanlon called about 45 minutes later to tell the Northwest Herald to stop trying to contact his client. And while Hanlon's phone call confirmed the caller was Matterness, he would not comment about the case or the identity of who in fact served Zinke.
"I'm not going to discuss my case in the newspaper," Hanlon said.
Attorney James Bishop, who Zinke has retained regarding Hanlon's lawsuit, has no self-imposed prohibition. He said the lawsuit's timing, substance and language – such as why Matterness' bad hip is relevant if she wasn't even there – is a clear-cut case of a frivolous lawsuit with a political end.
"I believe this to be nothing more than Cook County politics, and it is certainly designed for the purpose of trying to embarrass Zinke just by associating him with 8-year-old litigation," Bishop said.
Hanlon's lawsuit was part of a two-pronged attack launched last week by Prim supporters less than two weeks before the March 18 primary. He filed it the day after State's Attorney Lou Bianchi released a statement alleging that he has traced what he calls libelous comments about him posted on a local blog to Zinke's campaign manager.
Both items were promptly posted after their releases to Cal Skinner's McHenry County Blog. Skinner, who opposes Zinke, retained Hanlon last year to defend him against an allegation by Zinke that an ethics complaint Skinner filed against him was frivolous.
Hanlon, Bianchi and Bianchi's campaign have donated to Prim and are actively helping in his election efforts.
Zinke is named by Hanlon as an "interested party" in the lawsuit for which he was summoned to give a deposition. Charles August, an organizer for the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150, sued Hanlon in 2006, alleging he libeled him in an article in another newspaper. The court sided with Hanlon, but the ruling was overturned last year on appeal.
Zinke was added to the lawsuit's file as a party of interest Jan. 15, two days after the summons, Bishop said. But Bishop, Zinke and at least one other witness the newspaper has talked to said Hanlon approached Zinke in October at a police chief's meeting in Marengo about serving him with a subpoena. Zinke said he told Hanlon to serve him at the courthouse and heard nothing until the January delivery to his home.
Zinke admitted running the license plate, but said he did it for legitimate reasons in response to a "scary-looking lady dressed in all black" who said nothing, waved papers in his face and threw them at his feet. Both Zinke and his wife work in law enforcement.
Matterness disagreed in her brief talk with the newspaper.
"He should have never run a lead on my license plate," she said.
But Bishop defended Zinke's actions and said he was forced into it by a frivolous legal action.
"[Zinke] was dragged into this ... in order for Hanlon to take Zinke's deposition, and we believe all of that was spurious and politically motivated, because Andy has no connection with either of the parties," Bishop said.
Zinke's campaign manager, Tamara DeModica, vehemently denies Bianchi's accusation that she is the anonymous commenter he is pursuing in a defamation lawsuit.

Taking a break from figuring out how to train and prepare for the next NFL season during the lockout, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow took a timeout to be a part of the Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards in Atlanta on Wednesday night. (The Dove Awards will be aired Easter on the Gospel Music Channel.)
At the historic Fox Theater on Peachtree Street, Tebow, wearing a light blue and white pinstripe seersucker blazer, presented the first Dove Uplift Someone Award to Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth for their involvement with adoption issues and their Show Hope ministry.
The writers for the show could not resist Tebow's link to the Florida Gators and their SEC rivals, the Georgia Bulldogs, in this college football hotbed.
"I'm honored to be in Georgia," Tebow said as he greeted the audience. "Well, you know, we didn't have too many problems with Georgia, so it's OK."

Boehner's battle for speaker
John Boehner won reelection to a second term as House speaker on Thursday, but it wasn't easy.
In an unusually suspenseful roll-call vote of the new House of Representatives, Boehner garnered 220 votes, but 12 Republican lawmakers either opposed him, voted present or abstained.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: New Congress with same old problems)
The reduced margin from his unanimous election two years ago demonstrates Boehner's increasingly fragile hold on House Republicans. While there was no danger that Boehner would ever lose Thursday's election for speaker, a frantic lobbying effort occurred in the hours before the vote to hold down potential "no" votes, said members and GOP leadership aides.
Boehner's reelection also comes just two days after the GOP-led House passed a fiscal cliff deal that will implement taxes on the wealthy, which is anathema to many Republicans. Indeed, 151 Republicans — including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) — rebelled against the cliff deal, and only 85 GOPers supported it.
( Also on POLITICO: Who won, lost with fiscal cliff deal)
The opposition against the Ohio Republican came from familiar conservatives — including perpetual thorns-in-the-side Reps. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), Paul Broun (R-Ga.) and Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), who voted for someone else; and Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) and Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), who abstained.
Freshman Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who previously served one House term in the mid-90s, voted "present."
Boehner did not mention the controversy over his reelection in his acceptance speech, gliding over an issue that riveted House members for the last 48 hours.
"It's a big job, and it comes with big challenges," Boehner said in a speech before his colleagues.
"Our government has built up too much debt. Our economy is not producing enough jobs. These are not separate problems."
Boehner urged lawmakers to be "truly willing" to solve the nation's problems, including the burgeoning federal debt.
"Public service was never meant to be an easy living. Extraordinary challenges demand extraordinary leadership," he said."So if you have come here to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place. The door is behind you."
But it's Boehner's job wrangling his restive conference that is becoming especially tricky. Starting after the 2010 elections, a surge of conservative tea-party members came to Congress and returned Republicans to the House majority. But those conservatives were bent on shrinking the government at nearly all costs, helping to sink the debt ceiling negotiations between Boehner and President Barack Obama in summer 2011. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) eventually crafted a deal that passed the House thanks to Democratic votes.

What is Condi Rice's biggest regret from her time working in the Bush White House?
The occupation of Iraq?
The never-ending war in Afghanistan?
The battles with Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney?
No, the former Secretary of State says her biggest regret is the increasingly troubled relationship between the United States and Mexico.
"I think the thing that I'd most like to do over is some of the aspects of the relationship with Mexico," she told CNN's Candy Crowley. "I think that one of the casualties of the preoccupation that was a necessary preoccupation after 9/11 on securing ourselves and Afghanistan and Iraq, the relationship with Mexico, which had great promise given the two governors, Vicente Fox and George W. Bush, who came to power together, to do something maybe earlier about the terrible border troubles that we now know are in Mexico, with the drug cartels, to do something about immigration reform."
Rice, who also served as Bush's first National Security Adviser, lamented that Bush's attempts to win passage of comprehensive immigration reform were foiled on Capitol Hill.
"It was 2007 when we finally got to immigration reform," she told Crowley. "[Arizona Sen.] Jon Kyl, [Arizona Sen.] John McCain, [Massachusetts Sen.] Teddy Kennedy, George Bush wanted a bill. They couldn't get it through."
The former Stanford University provost says she hopes Congress will reach consensus on the troublesome, hot-button policy issue.
"I think immigration reform is still one of our really great problems," she said. "And now the states are doing a patchwork of immigration laws."

Staff writer
Marion High School head wrestling coach Chad Adkins is looking forward to see where the season takes his team.
"We are not going to be at full strength this year," Adkins said. "But we have a lot talented kids with a lot of experience, and a huge number of freshmen at the bottom of our lineup."
There are 11 freshmen wrestlers. Among those, Jarrett Johnson and Noah Albin are two with a lot of prior experience.
"Jarrett is at 106 lbs. and Noah is at 113 lbs.," Adkins said. "They have been wrestling since they were in diapers."
Adkins is not exactly sure what to expect from his team but with the large number of freshmen, he took the opportunity to change up the way practice is structured.
"This year we are going to focus on action/reaction drills in a live situation," Adkins said. "We want to connect everything, all the moves, all the way down."
In years past Warrior practice time was split between learning moves and live drilling.
However, with the large amount of skilled freshman, Adkins and assistant coach Andy Hansen thought it was a good time to change up the practice routine and further develop the team's solid base.
In the system's approach, the coaches seek to tie together wrestling situations with offensive and defensive move possibilities through drilling in live situations.
Adkins said the goal is to do so much live situational drilling that the wrestlers don't even have to think about their moves before they execute them.
"Muscle memory is what we are after," Adkins said. "I'm excited. It's going to help us."
Adkins also expects to see good things from his upper classmen.
"Twins Beretta and Adam Janzen, both juniors, have the ability to place or win their respective weight classes at State this year," Adkins said. "Kyle Palic has a good chance at state too. He qualified for state his freshman year."
Wrestlers Zac Lewman, Luke Steele, and John Nordquist have a good chance at state this year, Adkins said, and he hopes to get a few other wrestlers there too.
The wrestling season begins Saturday with an away tournament at Mission Valley.
