Dear Editor,
One of the best parts about working at Cheyenne Bottoms is talking with visitors that stop here. One thing staff at the Kansas Wetlands Education Center have noticed is that almost everyone has a story about Cheyenne Bottoms. If you follow the news items posted in the Great Bend Tribune, you know that most stories about Cheyenne Bottoms logically include information about birds, bird-watching, hunting, and wildlife; that is what Cheyenne Bottoms is famous for. However, some of the most interesting stories and memories we get to hear from visitors to the Kansas Wetlands Education Center concerning Cheyenne Bottoms have ...
Thursday was Jack Kilby Science Day at Barton with hundreds of area high school students in attendance. After the main presentation, students attended two different sessions from 10 a.m. until noon. When the morning started it was bright and sunny without a cloud in the sky. At first glance, looking out a window at noon indicated it must have turned cloudy. Going outside, it only took seconds to realize there weren't any clouds in the sky. Visibility was less than a half-mile and the sun obscured by soil suspended in the atmosphere. The wind had picked up since ...

Nebraska's legislature recently made headlines when it ended the state's death penalty. Many found it odd that a conservatives-dominated legislature would support ending capital punishment, since conservative politicians have traditionally supported the death penalty. However, an increasing number of conservatives are realizing that the death penalty is inconsistent with both fiscal and social conservatism. These conservatives are joining with libertarians and liberals in a growing anti-death penalty coalition.

Dezeen promotion: Italian furniture brand Arper is showcasing two of its latest chair collections at a new London showroom, which opens in Clerkenwell next week.
Above and top: Saya collection by Lievore Altherr Molina
The first collection, called Saya, is designed by Barcelona studio Lievore Altherr Molina and features oak veneer chairs with hourglass-shaped backs.

Here's some more information from Arper:
Arper launches new Juno and Saya chairs to the UK market
Treviso-based furniture design company Arper open their London showroom in October 2012 and present its two new collections: Juno and Saya. These two collections differ quite dramatically in terms of style and material yet both are entirely reflective of Arper's commitment to systems and adaptability.
Above: Juno collection by James Irvine
Saya - design by Lievore Altherr Molina 2012
Saya takes its inspiration from nature and a sense of 'home' – it evokes feelings of warmth through its material and life in its form. It's a striking and unique graphic sign, rendered in wood. Its graceful curves resemble that of a small animal – a deer - with four legs and an arching neck.
Above: Juno collection by James Irvine
Arper sees the chair as something of a manifesto, an ode to wood and a celebration of the organic. It's about using fluid, expressive lines to create something inviting. The shape of the chair's back is a gesture – like a spread of the arms to invite an embrace.
Above: Juno collection by James Irvine
With an oak veneer, Saya's colour finishes include natural, white, black, ochre, teak and three shades of red which complement individual or group use. Designed with residential and corporate uses in mind, Saya fits into every environment like all Arper products. The legs are also customisable in the Arper tradition in wood or chrome.
Above: Juno collection by James Irvine
Juno - design by James Irvine, 2012
Juno is Arper's vision for the future of the plastic chair – with the design concept closer to that of a solid wood chair. It is Arper's first piece made entirely of gas-assisted injection-molded polypropylene. Cast in a single form, it is incredibly light in silhouette, weight and impact.
Above: Arper's new showroom in Clerkenwell, London
It is simple and uniform but not without personality – an exciting expression of the technology used to develop Juno, whilst remaining true to the fluidity and beauty of all Arper products.
Above: Arper's new showroom in Clerkenwell, London
Juno is all about efficiency and versatility. It's ideal for both residential and corporate environments, both indoor and outdoor. This singular, simple shape is available in five colors – white, sand, anthracite, orange, yellow – with closed or open back, with or without armrests.
Above: Arper's new showroom in Clerkenwell, London
It can also be customised with sleek upholstery for the seat and backrest, with all variations stackable to allow for large-scale use and storage.
Above: Arper's new showroom in Clerkenwell, London
Living Systems
Arper's approach revolves around the historic notion of 'Living Systems', a theory that studies how different elements, affected by context and interaction, create spontaneously organized structures.
Above: Arper's new showroom in Clerkenwell, London
In applies to Arper's approach to the design of new products but also to the way these products are presented, interpreted and expressed.
Above: Arper's new showroom in Clerkenwell, London
Arper's intention is to create products that can adapt and interact with the context they are intended for. Saya and Juno represent different – but balancing – aspects of this.
Above: Arper's new showroom in Clerkenwell, London
An open-ended and generous design approach allows for an exchange between the environment and the product. The products are only finished when their context has been decided.

Dem-Turned-Republican Nachman Caller to Register 3,000 Voters for GOP in Super Jewish District
City and State Reports: A non-profit founded and chaired by Republican Senate candidate Nachman Caller has launched an effort to register 3,000 new, primarily Republican voters in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park, according to Caller's political adviser.
The adviser, Michael Fragin, said that Caller's non-profit, The Family First Organization, was now beginning the efforts to register the voters in the heavily Orthodox Jewish enclave, an effort that also would obviously also be helpful to Caller's campaign. Fragin said he did not know who funded the non-profit, which Fragin said was a 501(c)4, though Caller, a wealthy real estate lawyer, is himself obviously a likely candidate.
Caller used the same organization to bash Councilman Lew Fidler's position on gay marriage through newspaper ads, during the Senate special election between Councilman Lew Fidler and Republican David Storobin. That effort, along with the voter registration efforts, could help Caller gain credibility with Republican voters, especially since Caller is a political unknown who previously had been registered as a Democrat. Caller is reportedly willing to spend $100,000 of his own money in the Senate race.

Wolf tourism in Eastern Oregon
|| Print |
|Articles - July/August 2013
|Monday, July 08, 2013
Page 3 of 4
Those in favor of bringing back wolves cite the tremendous ecological benefits to having a top-level predator be part of the landscape. Indeed, several studies show the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone triggered a positive ripple effect; wolves cull from the herds of elk and deer, reducing their numbers and encouraging them to roam more widely, which in turn keeps these ungulates from overgrazing the aspens and other trees and shrubs along the river. The aspen-grove growth and revitalized riparian zones in turn cool the water, providing more habitat for beavers and songbirds and leading even to a flourishing of butterflies.
The positive ripples are also economic, advocates say. Since wolves were successfully reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park in 1995, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana have been welcoming at least 40,000 visitors a year eager to attend ranger-led wolf walks and hoping to observe the wolves themselves from a safe distance through spotting scopes. A 2006 financial analysis done by researchers at the University of Montana found that over 90% of the visitors to Yellowstone came to view wildlife, and that $35.5 million flowed into the local economy as a result of wolf tourism that year alone. "Wolves have been immensely important to the growth of our business," says Nathan Varley, co-owner of The Wild Side, a guiding service for visitors interested in seeing wolves, bears and other wildlife in Yellowstone Park. In business for eight years, The Wild Side charges $575 for an 8-hour day for up to five people in a group. "[We] have grown about 20% each year, right through the recession," Varley explains, "and now work year-round employing up to six guides."
That kind of success can be replicated in Eastern Oregon, some locals say. "People like predators," says Mellie Pullman, a professor of supply-chain management at Portland State University who owns a second home in Enterprise, researches sustainable beef and also helps area ranchers develop sustainable business plans. "That's a lot of the reason people go to national parks. Everyone wants to see wolves and grizzlies. It's very exciting."
Pullman believes that ranchers who market their grass-fed, grass-finished beef to high-end restaurants and suppliers in Portland can actually benefit from the presence of wolves by charging more for wildlife-friendly produce that reflects the values of consumers in the western part of the state. As she serves her guests asparagus omelets, fruit salad and homemade raspberry friands (an Australian pastry) sprinkled with sugar, Diana Hunter, co-owner of Barking Mad Farm, a bed and breakfast outside of Enterprise, likens the breathtaking vistas, diversity of fauna and unspoiled landscape of Eastern Oregon to Africa's Serengeti, a comparison echoed by others. A herd of bison graze in view of the Hunters' 1908 three-bedroom accommodations that welcome close to 500 guests a year, but it is the wolves and other wild animals that guests come to see.
"Wolves bring us clients who want to go out and see wolves and be where they are," Hunter says, though she balks at the phrase "wolf tourism" (too controversial) and prefers to call it ecotourism. With his leathery skin, taupe beaver-felt cowboy hat and blunt speech, Diana's husband James seems more like a rancher than a B&B owner. Despite their disagreements with some — a permit to expand their business to a second site on property they own 13 miles away was denied, with one rancher calling the Hunters' business "detrimental to your direct neighbors" — Hunter is quick to point out that their 42-acre property doubles as a working ranch. They grow hay for sale and graze cattle.
Hunter also invites ranchers to talk with her guests — who are fascinated to hear how they are affected by wolves — and is sympathetic to ranchers who lose livestock to the wolves. "Not everyone thinks wolves are the best thing," she says. "Sometimes they're not. If they're in the wrong place, they are not beneficial."
Eastern Oregon's pioneering wolf-tracking outfitters acknowledge the complex and contradictory feelings wolves arouse. "On an emotional level wolves symbolize wildness," says Joe Whittle, an affable, intense 38-year-old photographer and backcountry wilderness guide who was born and raised in Enterprise and the San Francisco Bay Area. "People respond with a lot of emotion." For Whittle, who is enrolled in the Caddo tribe, part Lenni-Lenape (Delaware) and part Irish, wolves are vital to his heritage. "Wolves were sacred to us; they play a part in our Caddo creation story," he explains, adding that the Nez Perce Indians did not kill wolves but instead hunted with their help.
Today Whittle and his blond-haired business partner, Jordan Manley, view wolves as an opportunity. Starting this summer, Whittle's company, Winding Light Adventures, will be taking visitors out on full-day wildlife viewing and tracking trips for $180 a person. Some will hunt game, others will come to learn about, track and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the wolves. For its part, Oregon Wild's Wolf Rendezvous trips have filled every year since they were first offered. Klavins, the leader of the trip and an outspoken advocate for wolf recovery, points out that "whether you love them or hate them, the controversy in Eastern Oregon around the wolves is bringing a lot of attention to [that] part of the state." It has other benefits as well. Sasquatch Brewery in Southwest Portland has created an amber ale named after OR-7, the lone male wolf nicknamed Journey traveling throughout the state unsuccessfully looking for a mate. Green Springs Inn, 25 miles east of Ashland, has designed an entire menu around the same wolf.
Klavins wants people to see the larger picture of positive economic impact. Since people who trek through the wilderness need gear, wolf tourism also indirectly benefits outdoor-gear companies that are Oregon-based: Columbia Sportswear, Keen, Icebreaker (a company that makes merino-wool clothing), LaCrosse Footwear, Bogs, RuffWear (which makes hiking gear for dogs) and Leupold (which makes riflescopes, binoculars and spotting scopes), among many more.

New Fully Digital 800 Watt Bulk Front-End Power Supply from Emerson Network Power Features 80 PLUS Gold Standard Efficiency
Carlsbad, CA, Dec 05, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- A new 800 watt bulk front-end power supply from Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity(TM), meets the 80 PLUS Gold standard for efficiency. The DS800SL-3 power supply has an exceptionally high efficiency of 92 percent when operating at half-load from a 230 Vac input, combined with a typical power factor in excess of 0.99.
With a high power density of 19.05 W/in3 (1.16 W/cm3) in a slim-line rack-mounting package, DS800SL-3 power supplies enable system designers to minimize space requirements in enterprise servers and similar space-constrained applications.
The new DS800SL-3 is a fully digital design; it features a built-in I2C serial bus interface and uses the industry-standard PMBus(TM) communications protocol. Developed primarily for systems employing distributed power architectures, the power supply has a wide input voltage range of 90 to 264 Vac and is rated for 800 watts output power. The main 12 Vdc payload output is programmable by plus/minus 10 percent, and can deliver up to 65.7 A continuously. An auxiliary 'always on' 5 Vdc output, rated at 2.4 A, is also provided for powering server management circuits. Both outputs are tightly regulated, have no minimum load requirement, and offer remote sensing - the 12 Vdc output can compensate for a load bus drop of up to 200 mV.
Opposite-end ac input and dc outputs facilitate fast replacement in the field, and the dc output card edge connector is compatible with the Intel(R) standard for high availability power supplies for the always-on enterprise market. The power supply features built-in Oring and active load sharing facilities, and supports hot swap operation for fault tolerant and N+1 redundancy applications, allowing as many as six power supplies to be connected in parallel. Up to four DS800SL-3 power supplies can be programmed to share current from their 12 Vdc outputs; if each power supply is delivering 40-50 percent of its rated output to the load, current will be shared to an accuracy of 5 percent, simplifying users' implementation of high availability power schemes significantly.
The power supplies have an operating temperature range of -10 to 50 degrees Celsius with no derating, and feature a built-in cooling fan with automatic speed control; forward and reversed airflow versions are available to simplify integration with the rack's cooling layout.
The power supplies are comprehensively protected against fault conditions, including input undervoltage, output short-circuit, overload and overvoltage. The power factor correction and output converter stages are both monitored for overtemperature conditions, and correct operation of the fan is also checked. DS800SL-3 power supplies have a demonstrated mean time between failure (MTBF) of 100,000 hours, running at full load and 25 degrees Celsius ambient, and are backed by a comprehensive two year warranty. For additional information, visit the DS800SL-3 product page.
A high resolution photo of the DS800SL-3 is available.

How To Paint On Glass
Painted glass is a beautiful craft that does not have to be very difficult and can yield stunning results. Painted glass bowls, vases and stemware all make beautiful gifts – and when you can do it yourself, they can be made inexpensively and customized in a variety of ways.
Besides traditional glass paint, you can also incorporate other out-of-the-box ideas, like chalkboard painted glasses as described on this page. Once you see how easy it is to do – it may quickly become an ongoing hobby!
What Do You Need to Paint on Glass?
The basic materials needed for glass painting are cleaning fluid (paint thinner/ or glass cleaning solution) Nail polish remover can also be used instead.
The colors that are generally used are Fevicryl or innovative craft and outliner that can be all set made or can even be made in the house. The next step is choose your painting surface such as: glass, mirror, clear plastic, acetate sheets (transparent sheets) or bottles.
The 6-Step Painting Process:
The process of glass painting is made up of 6 steps
1. Step 1 is to wipe off the glass with dry cotton swabs or cloth.
2. After this, the glass has to be cleaned with glass cleaner, thinner or with water.
3. Once the glass surface has dried, the design should be applied to the surface of the glass object. Keep in mid that is you choose a geometric design than contains straight lines, you will need have a greater amount of accuracy. This may end up being more difficult and frustrating for a beginner. Therefore, if you are just starting out, look for designs that do not require as much accuracy, and you will enjoy your first glass painting project a lot more.
4. Now use an outliner, which draws the design on the glass surface area. Let it dry for 20 minutes.
5. After it has dried, you can begin adding color.
6. If the color bleeds out, then cotton swabs can be used to correct them and even thinner can clean accidental color drops on any area of the surface. Then, let your artwork dry completely. Check out 90 more techniques here.
What Type of Paint Do I Use for Painting Glass?
Basically there are two types of paint for glass that you can use. There is water based and non-water based paint.
If you prefer to use the non water based kind, you should use a ceramic thinner to water down the paint with. Brushes will also need to be cleaned with a thinner. This process takes a little more clean-up time and more patience.
If you choose a water based paint, clean up is much easier and will take less time, as you do not need to use paint thinner, etc.. For your guide lines on top of glass, you will need an outliner. Here you need a steady hand as you squeeze the paint to form your lines. You can get them in various color tones, but there are a few basic ones one can make use of. Namely black, gold, silver, as well as gray.
Alternatively, you can use leading tape. This is more often than not used on windows and doors. Normally this comes in a couple of widths and on a roll. In this situation the backing needs to be pulled off so that you can affix the tape to the glass and subsequently try to twist it to create your design.
If you have a significant space to cover you can always draw on a sponge to put on the paint furthermore you could even now blend your colors despite the fact that they are wet.
And, how to use adhesive decorative window films to easily and quickly enhance the beauty, boost the functionality and increase the value in your home:

Poor design!,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Kodak Playfull Waterproof Video Camera - Black (720p HD, 2x Digital Zoom) 2.0 inch LCD (Electronics)
Got this for my 8 year old son for Xmas. He loved it, but by the end of the day after opening the USB plug door only once it broke! I watched him, he did nothing wrong and didn't force it. It's just a poor design and is not fit for purpose! Returned via Amazon and got a refund.
Steer clear!

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
What a crisis has done to the people of Greece
30 Sep 2010 10:20 GMT | Politics, Asia, Sri Lanka
According to a Sri Lankan government official, Sri Lanka's president has confirmed the 30-month jail term imposed on Sarath Fonseka, the former army chief, following his conviction by a military court.
Mahinda Rajapakse approved the two-and-a-half-year prison term upon return from New York on Wednesday where he addressed the UN General Assembly. The government official said: "The court martial has recommended up to three years in jail, but the president has decided he will be in prison for 30 months."
Fonseka had been charged with four counts of bypassing military procedures in purchasing equipment and involving his son-in-law in the dealings, as the army commander during the civil war with Tamil Tiger separatists.
Foneska had earlier received another court martial ruling, which found him guilty of getting involved in politics while serving the country's military. He was then stripped of his rank and pension as well as the medals he had earned during his 40-year army service.
Fonseka's Democratic National Alliance (DNA) has said the military court process was seriously flawed and is appealing to a civilian court against the verdicts.
Political differences
Fonseka fell out with the government and unsuccessfully tried to unseat Rajapakse in January presidential polls.
He was arrested two weeks after his defeat in the elections and has remained in military custody since. However, he won a seat in parliamentary elections in April allowing him to attend parliament.
He has said the government is seeking revenge for his decision to stand against Rajapakse and wants to keep him from speaking in parliament. He has already challenged Rajapakse's re-election in the supreme court.
Fonseka also faces civilian charges of employing army deserters, as well as revealing state secrets, offences that carry a 20-year jail term.
The 37-year ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka ended in May last year when government forces led by Fonseka wiped out the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which had been fighting for a Tamil homeland.
The UN estimates that at least 7,000 ethnic Tamil civilians were killed in the final months of fighting between government troops and the LTTE.

Anti-Semitism is a reality in the Middle East
Opinion: Letters To The Editor
I generally find ad hominem attacks beyond the pale in public forums, unworthy of dignifying with a response; however, when a writer actively fabricates a quotation in order to make such an attack, as David Gilbert does in assailing Alan Peres [Who defines Israel? Viewpoints, Dec. 18], there is an imperative to respond.
Gilbert writes that Peres was engaging in "hypocrisy" for arguing [Israel's concern for security is justified, Viewpoints, Nov. 20] that "Palestinians harbor a congenital anti-Semitism that periodically explodes in terror."
First, Peres never mentions anti-Semitism — much less of the "congenital" variety — in his article. Peres instead relates the experience of someone who has a daughter residing in the Middle East, living with the region's complicated reality. To suggest, as Gilbert does, that Peres is an armchair commentator is both insulting and disingenuous.
Second, Mr. Gilbert's presentation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not only specious, permeated with de-contextualized statistics and factual inaccuracies, but also demonstrates a genuine ignorance of the roots of the current conflict. Any Arabic-speaking Jew who has lived in the Islamic world recognizes that historical anti-Semitism informs the modern Middle East conflict. As evidence, I here relate but one of many experiences I had with anti-Semitism in Morocco in the fall of 2008:
"Ahh, you are Jewish," a pretty Moroccan college girl said with excitement in her voice. "We can eat at your house [since Jewish and Islamic dietary laws are similar], but we can't spend the night, since you, um … you stab us in our sleep."
A hermeneutical Jew has been crafted in the Islamic world, a construction that portrays the Jew as a cruel, conspiring figure beyond redemption. Jews are supposed to be a perpetually downtrodden and humiliated people, a proof of the triumph of Islam. A modern Jewish state in a land once controlled by Muslims is an affront to this worldview.
This historical context helps explain why the Islamic world refuses to tolerate a Jewish state in its midst. It is perhaps more reassuring to believe, as Mr. Gilbert does, that if Israelis would just throw down their arms, tear up their settlements and go back to their Tel Aviv discothèques, the conflict would be over and we could all sing "Kumbaya." But people who have lived the conflict, like Mr. Peres and his family, know that is a pipedream, and a dangerous one at that.

After wiring this board twice, once with simple dangling leads (works perfectly) and then with headers plugged into a breadboard (doesn't work perfectly) I discovered that the board has to be raised about 4 mm in height above the breadboard. If this isn't done then the wifly cannot connect to a router, but strangely can still connect to a host in ad-hoc mode. Before coming to this conclusion I investigated different additional ground shields etc. Presumably this is the breadboard acting as a dielectric and affecting the wi-fi, or some other suitably waffly explanation!
Hope this helps!

TomTom updates navigation app with iPod touch, iPhone 1G support
TomTom has released version 1.2 of its TomTom U.S. & Canada turn-by-turn navigation application, adding support for the iPod touch and original iPhone. The inclusion of iPod touch and iPhone support means the application can now be used on those devices when connected to third-party GPS solutions, such as the TomTom Car Kit. Other improvements include improved search and route summary screens, updated maps and points of interest databases, an updated IQ Routes database, Advanced Lane Guidance in both portrait and landscape modes, Text-to-speech in English, French, and Spanish, a Help Me! emergency menu, and iPod player support. TomTom U.S. & Canada is available from the App Store and sells for $100.

I understand the appeal, but the combined price of the app and the car kit make it more expensive than some of the Tom Tom off-the-shelf units. Other than the convenience of having it on your iPod or iPhone, why pay more? Tom Tom can do better with their pricing.

Refurb tomtom standalones starting at $50.
Two other manufacturers announcing mounts with built in gps for less.
Google giving away free gps software, eventually on apple unless Cupertino decides to drag thier feet on this app too or play games with not approving it.
Sounds like too little too late & too much :)
these mounts will probably be in big lots by next Xmas time.

Actually, we're very happy with this 'navigation on iPhone' thingy.
I purchased 1 app, and installed it 'legally' on 3 iPhones (my wife's, son's and mine). Now we have 3 navigation systems in our cars for the price of one.
Heck, I'm even considering a TomTom car kit for my daughter's iPod touch. Since you may legally install App store apps on 5 iPhones/iTouches: 4 nav's and a car kit for just USD 200 is a steal ;-).
Posted by Charles Starrett on November 19, 2009 at 9:31 AM (CST)
iLounge - are you going to do a full review of the car mount/app combo now that this update has been released? I would be very keen to see an update to your earlier review of the standalone app.
Posted by Charles Starrett on November 19, 2009 at 11:29 AM (CST)
um, then go buy a gps and a smart phone. I'll just carry my iphone, and plop it in the tomtom car kit. Really now, it's worth it to me.
Now only if tomtom will add realtime traffic…
Posted by Charles Starrett on November 19, 2009 at 11:38 AM (CST)
Well, for those of us who can't fill their homes with iPhones, TomTom car kits, and apps, this still isn't worth anything. Navigon has consistently sold better, ceen cheaper and provided more options than TomTom. And, of course, Google may be on the verge of being released for free on iPhones. Any newer car has an auxillary input, meaning that, with some patience, you can have GPS and stereo out to your car for $5.
But, again, for those of your with hundreds and hundreds of dollars to throw down on stuff like this…good for you. I would probably consider you more in the minority than the vast, vast majority of people.

I'll be interested in these GPS kits for the iPhone/iPod Touch when I see some data on the impact on device life. If I were to use my iPhone in one of these kits on a cross-country road trip, how much do I shorten the life of the iPhone - in particular its battery and display? If the impact is significant, then there's a case to be made for standalone GPS units after all.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
What a crisis has done to the people of Greece
30 May 2012 18:44 GMT | Sport, Football
Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers is set to be appointed as Liverpool's new manager this week following talks with the Anfield club, according to a BBC report on Wednesday.
Rodgers had refused a request to meet with Liverpool following Kenny Dalglish's sacking earlier this month, but the Reds made a renewed effort to speak to the former Reading and Watford chief after holding discussions with Wigan's Roberto Martinez last week.
The 39-year-old Northern Irishman is believed to have spoken to Liverpool officials on Wednesday and the BBC reports the Merseyside giants are ready to pay between $6.2m and $7.7m in compensation to Swansea to secure his services.
Reports that Rodgers has agreed a three-year contract with Liverpool are described as "categorically untrue" by the Anfield club, but it seems he is now well on course to land one of the biggest jobs in English football.Rising talent
Rodgers is regarded as one of the English Premier League's brightest young managers after guiding unheralded Swansea to an impressive 11th place finish on a relatively meagre budget just one season after securing promotion from the Championship.
When Liverpool first approached Rodgers, it was claimed he was unhappy that the club's American owners wanted to conduct interviews with a host of potential candidates as it would leave him having to return to Swansea with his position undermined if he failed to get the job.
Martinez had been the early favourite after meeting with Liverpool's principal owner John Henry in Miami last week, but the Spaniard was said to be concerned about the Reds' desire to hire a director of football, with former Ajax boss Louis van Gaal reportedly in the running for that role.
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan claimed Martinez had been offered the job, but Liverpool never confirmed that and now appear to have turned their sights on Rodgers.
If Rodgers does get the job, it will complete a remarkable rise following his sacking as Reading boss just three years ago.Rehabilitation
Since then Rodgers, who regards Jose Mourinho as his mentor after working as the Portuguese coach's reserve-team boss at Chelsea, has completely rehabilitated his reputation.
Swansea's eye-catching style of play earned a standing ovation from Liverpool fans after a 0-0 draw at Anfield in November and Rodgers also masterminded a 1-0 win over the Reds on the final day of the season, as well as beating Manchester City and Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium.
He would take over a Liverpool squad at a low ebb after finishing eighth in the Premier League, 17 points away from the Champions League spots that Henry had targeted at the start of the season.
The Reds did win the League Cup under Dalglish, but their season ended with a lacklustre 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup final against Chelsea and the new boss will be charged with reinvigorating team sorely in need of an infusion of creativity and pace.

St Jude's Day storm passes in a flurry of wet gags
This was a perfect storm of sarcasm. And everyone, including me, made the same joke
It was, to abuse a cliché, a perfect storm - of timing, tweets, and hurricane-force sarcasm. And I contributed as much the next metropolitan cynic with a smartphone. While eating my bran flakes, I heard a wheelie bin falling into my road. So I did what any fool in an age of banal over-sharing would - and tweeted a rubbish photo of it alongside a rubbish joke.
By then, social media were already straining in a gale of inanity, like the bough of a weary oak. The first gusts had came through on Sunday afternoon, perfectly hitting that idle time between supplement reading and a disappointing episode of Homeland. The ever reliable Buzzfeed offered "9 Shocking Photos Of The Devastation Wrought By The St. Jude Storm" - six images of toppled garden chairs, a felled gnome, a watering can and, yes, a wheelie bin.
We were all at it by morning, when in London at least, the winds seemed to be stiff rather than savage. "Part of a tree has hit the car roof," Gary Lineker tweeted. "Not too much damage, I think". He included a picture of a single leaf on a car (cue 10,000 retweets, to my zero).
Then came the knowing "middle-class crisis" updates of delayed Ocado deliveries and devastating quinoa shortages in Crouch End. "Pretty sure the herbs on my windowsill have met their demise," one wag tweeted. "Can't bring myself to open the curtain" (credit: "18 Intensely Middle Class Responses To The U.K. Storm").
The St Jude's Day storm, named after the patron saint of lame banter (or lost causes, to be accurate) also had the good fortune to coincide with morning rush hour, already peak time for pointless updates about leaves on lines and the hopelessness of the circle line. Just as reliable, meanwhile, were the comments and messages from hardier souls who despaired at the feebleness of southerners.
By the time London got to its desk, the sun was out and St Jude had moved on. #UKStorm2013 became yet another study in contemporary, Twitter-driven hype, where inanity and vanity collide in a whirlwind of wasted bandwidth. We only learned when the jokes ran out that wheelie bins had not been the only victims of the storm. Thousands of home are damaged or without power, and four people are dead. Perhaps to its credit, Buzzfeed later acknowledged as much with "The St. Jude Storm Actually Turned Out To Be Quite Bad". Next time, I'll keep eating my bran flakes.
