A superb second half display away at Burnley saw West Ham record another victory which has propelled the club into the top four.
Whilst it is still early days and no one is getting completely carried away, there is a sense of excitement around West Ham at the moment.
To be going into a game against a team that beat West Ham four times last season and believeing that you will get a result is evidence of just how quickly things can change in football.
Whatever the result on Saturday I cannot see the optimism being drained from West Ham fans just yet and I am delighted that there seems to be a little more positivity around a club who has been immersed in doom and gloom for far too long.
This week we have two Manchester City supporters answering the questions and as always, all questions have come from members of WHO.
The two fans are
Russ Neil
Neil Travis.
Many thanks to both for their answers.
As a club you have changed massively since the money came in - Apart from the obvious, what is the biggest positive and what is the biggest negative the money brings with it?
Positive - I'd say the huge investment in the infrastructure of the club and East Manchester. With the new Academy set up and training centre at the ground, the Sheikh has secured our place at the top table for years to come.
Negative - Diluting our support. As a born and bred Manc but having lived in London for nearly 10 years now it's gone from 'Oh, City are you mate, good on you' to 'City eh, how long you been supporting them?' With success come half and half scarves, day trippers and the like. Shame but that's the route you have to go down now unfortunately if you want to become a 'big' club internationally.
The positive is how much more professional the club is run since the takeover from a fans perspective. The fiascos of the past ticket office, club website, match day experience were a joke and probably why as a club we would never be successful. Opposition fans don't see how much more pleasurable it is to be a supporter of the club from the way it's run all together. The website and content is fantastic, the shops in Manchester are now really nice and getting tickets for away games can be be bought online easily rather than a trip to the ground.
The negative is the fact that what ever we do it always seems to be wrong. The press are so against us that these days personally I go to all our games and don't even watch SSN etc anymore. Also the " where were you when you were shit" chant shows what short memories people have. The price of success costs and in fact it seems we have less support at times.
Did it annoy you last season that, despite your amazing goal scoring feats up until the turn if the year and then your slow and steady wins the day title push, all the media cared about were the struggles of your arch rivals?
Not overly no. It very much felt like karma for all those years of dreading going into school on a Monday morning after United had handed out another hammering to us in the 90s, and let's be honest it was hilarious. More annoying I think, was the national media narrative about Liverpool and the destiny of their return to the top and Brendan Rodgers false modesty. How I laughed when Chelsea beat them.
I think all the media cared about was Liverpool winning the title and United struggling. To be fair I think in the long run its what helped us win the league as it took all the pressure off the players who went about the business professionally. Personally I will never be to upset at seeing United get slated, however the enjoyment of winning the league in 2012 instead of them was more enjoyable than beating Liverpool to it. Catch 22 as want them to struggle but them big games when we're both up there are unbelievable.
For having such a strong team, why do you think you've struggled so much in the champions league?
Writing this the morning after the night before our latest shambles in Moscow so very pertinent. With Pellegrini I think tactically he is naive and a bit too gung-ho in Europe. I also fear now it might be in the players heads a bit. It might even be the case that it requires a change of management to get us over the European hurdle.
: There are two major factors in why we have struggled. Firstly if you look at the four seasons we have been in it the first season we got Bayern Munich, Napoli and Villarreal. Tough group in which we got 10 points which was one of only few times you don't qualify with that many. Second season we got Real Madrid, Dortmund and Ajax. Good luck to any English team in that group. Third season we got plzen, Moscow and Bayern Munich. For once an easier group and we got 15 points and I think we're the only team to get 15 points and not win the group. We finally got through and got Barcelona. We were not fantastic against them but it's hardly embarrassing to lose to them over two legs especially with our centre half sent off at home and a penalty given when it was outside the box.
Under Pellegrini (who is loved) we were told he was brought in due to a good champions league record etc. However we seem to play far to open in Europe with 2 up front all the time and these top quality sides can make chances and when they do unlike sometimes in the premier league there usually taken. Think we need to change to a 4-5-1 in Europe and be harder to breakdown in midfield.
Like yourselves, we're moving to a new stadium that was originally designed for athletics. What should we expect in terms of atmosphere?
It'll get worse, no denying that. Happens to every club when they leave their spiritual home. Also with us, the fact that we now expect to beat most of the sides that turn up doesn't help make for a great atmosphere either. I think you need supporters groups working with the club to get singing sections, flags, banners and the like. It won't just happen on its own. There's a group of lads at City called the 1894 group who are doing some important work in this area-especially important when we expand the capacity in the near future.
Probably like us when we left Maine road a lot of your fans are attached to Upton Park as its a proper traditional football ground. Personally for me I think the move took a good few years to adjust into it feeling like our proper home. Lots of fans for the first season were probably not true match day fans and it took a few years for our vocal fans and the family ones to get together. Personally I love our ground now, even though the atmosphere at times is poor the expectations have risen. The new ground for us has in the long run brought success and hopefully it will for you. I would take that over atmosphere as you can get that at the away games.
Do you wish you had some more homegrown players in your team, or are you happy just signing Galacticos?
I do yes. I think that is the stated intention of the owners as well, but not just for the sake of it. Our youth set up contains some very promising homegrown (English and even Manc in quite a few cases) players and I think that will bear fruit in the near future. Our u-19 side beat Bayern Munich 6-0 in the UEFA Youth League last season and have won every game in their group so far this season (take note first XI). Under Patrick Viera (who will be a very good manager one day) I think we are heading in the right direction at the youth and reserve level.
: I am not too bothered where are players are from as long as they perform. Lots of players who have signed for us have now played over 100 games and seem very committed to city. Zabaleta, Kompany, Silva, Yaya, Aguero. Unlike what other clubs have spent I also think they have all come at a good price. Aguero being the most expensive at £38m.
Yes it would be nice or see home-grown English players but I just don't think there good enough if you want to win things.
Which Wembley win did you enjoy more .. beating Gillingham in the playoffs or Stoke in the FA Cup final?
Blimey that's a hard one. I'll plump with Stoke, as 3 years after the money came in we finally had something tangible to show for it. It was at this point that we could all say, with certainty, 'City are back'.
: I was 18 when we beat Gillingham and it was fantastic but in reality we were struggling in the third tier of English football.
The Stoke FA Cup win was magical as for me I had spent 25 years going to city thinking we would never win anything and it had finally happened 4 days before I was 30. Grown men actually crying at us winning something at last was odd but brilliant.
We beat United 1-0 in the Semi before Stoke and that was my favourite Wembley win as realistically in my lifetime it was the first time we had beat them in a game that really mattered not just for bragging rights. Although for me the fa cup semi finals are ruining the excitement of getting to Wembley for that May show-piece final.
Apart from West Ham which other sides are you hoping to avoid in next seasons Champions league group stages?
Haha, nice one! Bayern Munich, every bloody year. The main thing is UEFA redoing the seeding system so that Arsenal's unfair artificial advantage is removed. Domestic champions should rightly be rewarded.
: In contradiction to what I said in the Champions League question, personally I want us to play the big teams. Would much rather see us play Milan, Munich or Madrid on a Tuesday night instead of Basel, Zenit etc. In the end you have to play them so might as well do it in the group.
Champions League or League, League Cup and FA Treble?
I think I can safely say the first of those is gone and I don't think the domestic treble has been done before so I'll go for that. One day though the CL would be a dream...
League, League cup and FA Cup treble for me all day long. All about the domestic trophies for me and I just don't have the same excitement for the European games. As a club it's where we need to go but nothing like winning the league or FA Cup
Your favourite West Ham vs Manchester City moment
In games I've seen at Upton Park I would probably go for last season actually and David Silva's quite sublime 3rd goal in front of us. For such a skilful player his goal scoring record is terrible so that was a beauty to put the game to bed that day.
: Has to be last day of last season when we won the league. Over the years have always enjoyed going to West Ham away, having seen everything from 0-0 fa cup 3rd round, 1-0 losses and also decent wins. My mate broke his arm celebrating when Yaya scored at Upton park in December 2010.
From West Ham point of view it was an absolutely insane celebration when Dean Ashton scored at our ground in the FA Cup quarter final. Looked over at your 6000 who were all over the place. Just a shame you didn't beat the scousers in the final that year
Your favourite Crisp
Smoky Bacon Walkers thank you.
: Salt and vinegar Pringles
You'll be bang up for this and we are going to have a Champions League hangover. I can see it being a 2-2 draw.
: 3-1 to City.
Massive thanks to Russ and Neil for their help.
Next up is Stoke. If you know a Stoke fan you would like to see take part, get in contact.

For RED Interactive's Donny Makower, the road to your movie theater is a digital highway
Send this to a friend
The era of bloated marketing budgets for film and television may see an end. Boutique companies are leveraging the power of digital marketing to help studios develop a targeted, interactive game plan. And considering the popularity of mobile gaming, game plan is an apt description in more ways than one.
RED Interactive Agency works in sports, automotive and hospitality, but its campaign strategies for film and television content take an alternative, very-digital approach to getting audiences in seats. The Santa Monica-based firm worked on projects for male-driven, fanboy properties such as "Ghost Rider" and "Lego Star Wars III" and developed multi-platform experiences targeted at the "Dr. Oz" female fan base.
"Everything has a digital core," says Donny Makower, President of RED Interactive Agency, about the company's strategy on marketing campaigns. "Even if it goes offline, we start digital and go from there, which is different than traditional advertising agencies who typically start with print or television."
At the privately held agency's Ocean Park Boulevard offices, employees spend a great deal of time considering what Makower calls the "strategic roadmap" for the content, figuring out who the audience is for content and how to reach them online. Those strategies include new takes on mobile games, digital advertising, web design and social platforms.
"Today, more of our conversations start with mobile," says Makower, who noted the continued shift from only reaching viewers via the web to reaching them on their phone or tablet through games or apps. "A lot of focus is on social, but it's 'What are the new ways we're leveraging social?'; … We develop branded, custom social platforms for our clients."

On Friday, Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ordered Snyder to pay $16,510 to Fred Phelps. Phelps is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, which conducted protests at Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder's funeral in 2006.
The two-page decision supplied by attorneys for Albert Snyder of York, Pa., offered no details on how the court came to its decision.
Attorneys also said Snyder is struggling to come up with fees associated with filing a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The decision adds "insult to injury," said Sean Summers, one of Snyder's lawyers.The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case and will have to decide whether protestors' messages are protected by the First Amendment in cases like this.

Video shows men jumping onto manatees
A YouTube video shows men attacking manatees at a Brevard County canal.
Investigators said two or three men in their 20s lured a mother and baby manatee close to a Cocoa Beach canal bank and jumped onto the animals.
"Jump, jump," the men are heard daring each other before laughing.
The video then shows the men jumping onto the sea cows.
Manatees are a protected species. It's against the law to disturb them.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission officials have identified the men in the video. Their names were not immediately released.
Investigators said they are determining charges to file against the men.
It's already been a tough year for manatees. Officials said sea cows have been dying at alarming numbers.

Average London house £½m by end of decade
Monday 11 February 2013
The price of an average London home will rise to at least £500,000 by the end of the decade – an increase of more than 30 per cent on today's £383,000 average – according to research published today.
The Centre for Economics and Business Research says that while London house prices will rise less slowly in 2013 than they did in 2012 they will start to take off again towards the end of the decade as the capital's economy begins to pick up strongly.
Outside the capital, the North-South divide will become even greater. While the South-East and East of England will see prices rise by 24.8 per cent and 25.7 per cent between 2013 and 2018, prices in Northern Ireland and the North-East are forecast to grow by just 6 per cent and 2.3 per cent respectively over the same period.
Daniel Solomon, Cebr economist, said: "Before the decade is out, we predict the price of the average home in London will reach £500,000.
"House price rises will be driven by London's comparatively rosy economic growth prospects, buoyed by IT, business and professional services. Nevertheless, house price growth in London will remain notably slower than in the boom years before the financial crisis."
He added that London would continue to be buoyed by high rates of immigration, which will not only create demand for housing but also inject skills, languages and international commercial links, which would all boost its economy.

Kevin Ware looks back on injury, Louisville's victory over Duke
Video via ESPN.com
In the second half of the NCAA basketball tournament's midwest championship game, Kevin Ware went to block a perimeter jumpshot and dramatically injured himself.
As Ware came to the ground, the force of his fall — combined with the angle at which he landed — resulted in a compound fracture in his right leg. Ware was immediately taken off the court in a stretcher, rushed to the hospital before undergoing surgery to repair his injured leg.
Louisville went on to win the game, 85-63.
In his first television interview since the injury, Ware told ESPN the support and love he's felt from his team since the accident, not to mention the fact that his team blew out the Blue Devils without him, has been overwhelming.
When asked what waking up with the regional championship trophy at his bedside meant to him, Ware said, "It meant everything to me. They went out there and did that for me. Words can't explain. I love those guys to death. I wouldn't trade them for the world. They're the brothers I never had. I just keep telling them, the job ain't done yet. We got two more games to win, and we'll be cutting the nets down in Atlanta."
Ware said all he could think about in the aftermath of his injury was making sure his team knew he would be fine so that they could go and finish the game. In particular, Ware said he focused on head coach Rick Pitino, repeatedly telling him not to worry.
"Coach P was right there," Ware said. "I looked at him dead in his eyes and said it probably 15 times, like, 'Coach, I'm going to be good. You just got to win this game.' Once I heard them yelling, 'Kevin!' and I'm hearing the crowd applauding, I knew it was going to be fine.
"I just wanted to know that we were going to win the game, honestly. I felt like, if that was the last time I played basketball, I left my mark."
In the interview, Ware said his experience with the leg break has also strengthened his relationship with his teammates and, in particular, Pitino.
"Coach P is my third dad," Ware said. "He's matured me on another level. It's more than just basketball. He's got that through to me that if I never play basketball again it wouldn't matter. He still would help me out however he can."

LONDON (AP) - The European Medicines Agency says it has started a review of emergency contraceptives to see if they work less well in heavy women.
In November, French drug maker HRA Pharma announced its morning-after pill Norlevo was less effective in women weighing more than 75 kilograms (165 pounds) and that it didn't work in women more than 80 kilograms (176 pounds). HRA Pharma changed its labels to warn patients after consulting with European regulators.
In a statement on Friday, the EMA said it would evaluate new data suggesting that a high body weight could compromise the effectiveness of the morning-after pill.
"This is an efficacy issue," said Monika Benstetter, an agency spokeswoman. "We need to find out what the association is with (body mass index) and if there is a cut-off threshold for when the medicine becomes less effective."
HRA Pharma's Norlevo contains levonorgestrel, the same active ingredient in other medicines including ellaOne, Levonnelle and Levodonna.
Benstetter said the EMA needed to perform an assessment of all products in the same category as Norlevo to ensure labels across the European Union are consistent. She said there was no timeline on when the review would be completed.
In November, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it was also studying the issue.
The morning-after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. It contains a higher dose of the hormone in regular birth control pills and works by preventing ovulation or fertilization of an egg. It has no effect if a woman is already pregnant.
Some doctors have previously advised that heavy women consider alternatives like a copper IUD, a birth control device that can be fitted on the uterus.

South Korean troops on Sunday exchanged fire with a runaway soldier who was surrounded in a forest after he killed five comrades near his North Korea border outpost, and brought in his parents to persuade him to surrender, a defence official said.
One platoon leader was wounded when the sergeant, identified only by his surname Yim, threw a grenade and fired on the military personnel closing in on him, according to a defence ministry official who asked not to be named, citing department rules. The official said troops fired back.
Villagers in a nearby area were warned not to leave their houses. The village head, Jang Seok-kwon, said that he heard gunshots ring out about 10 times Sunday.
The military brought Yim's parents to the forest about 10 kilometres from the border outpost to try to persuade him to give up, the official said.
Yim opened fire Saturday night with his standard issue K2 assault rifle at the outpost near the North Korean border in Gangwon province, east of Seoul, killing five fellow soldiers and wounding seven others, the military said.
Yim, who was scheduled to be discharged from the military in September, fled with his weapon, but it wasn't clear how much live ammunition he had.
A Defence Ministry official confirmed Yim was considered a "protected and watched-on soldier," which means he needed special attention among servicemen. According to the official, the South Korean military assigns such status based on servicemen's periodical personality test.
Yim was designated a grade A protected soldier in April last year - one with a high risk of suicide attempt or inducing other accidents who could not serve at heavily guarded outposts - then improved to grade B status last November. It means he was being watched with focused attention, but could serve at the outposts at the commander's discretion.
Thousands of troops from the rival Koreas are squared off along the world's most heavily armed border.
There was no indication that North Korea was involved. But tensions between the two countries have been high recently, with North Korea staging a series of missile and artillery drills and threatening South Korea's leader. The Koreas have also traded fire along their disputed maritime border in the Yellow Sea. South Korea has repeatedly vowed to respond with strength if provoked by the North.
Shootings happen occasionally at the border.
In 2011, a 19-year-old marine corporal went on a shooting rampage at a Gwanghwa Island base, just south of the maritime border with North Korea. Military investigators later said that corporal was angry about being shunned and slighted and showed signs of mental illness before the shooting.
In 2005, a soldier tossed a hand grenade and opened fire at a front-line army unit in a rampage that killed eight colleagues and injured several others. Pfc. Kim Dong-min told investigators he was enraged at superiors who verbally abused him.
All able-bodied South Korean men must serve about two years in the military under a conscription system aimed at countering aggression from North Korea.
The Korean Peninsula is still technically in a state of war as the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. About 28,500 US soldiers are stationed in South Korea as a deterrent against North Korean aggression.

TfL collects £32m in Oyster card penalty fares
Related Articles
Published: 29 May 2008
City Hall chiefs last year banked more than £33million in "uncompleted" Oyster card journey fares on the Tube and DLR, but only issued £1 million in refunds. The rest has remained in Transport for London's coffers.
The figures, released under the Freedom of Information Act, prompted watchdogs to call for technology to prevent overcharging innocent commuters. More than 8.3million journeys between November 2005 and December 2007 triggered maximum penalties worth £33million. TfL says it knows of just £803,000 paid in refunds and estimates another £200,000 was returned. It means passengers are failing to check fare details and are oblivious to when the £4 over-charge occurs if they fail to tap out.
A spokesman for TfL said if passengers had validated their cards, they would have paid around £14million in fares - about £2.18 per journey - meaning the "true" profit was £18million.
He added that TfL had "no plans" to find ways to remind passengers to tap out or collect money owed, but confirmed it would refund those who complained. He said: "Everybody should now know how the Oyster pay-asyougo system works."

TubeMogul CEO surprised that Wall Street doubted his ad-tech IPO
Send this to a friend
- Cromwell Schubarth
- Senior Technology Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
TubeMogul CEO Brett Wilson said he isn't going to lose sleep over the low price his company went public at, despite a first-day surge of 64 percent.
"You can't second guess on something like that," he told me Friday after ringing the opening bell on Nasdaq. "I'm happy with the reception we are getting today. None of us in the company nor our backers sold into this offering and investors understand what makes us different in the ad tech market."
TubeMogul raised $43.8 million in its IPO, a far cry from the $94 million it thought it might get when it went on the road to sell the offering to bankers and institutional investors this month. It sold 6.25 million shares at $7, with existing shareholders buying more than half of the stock sold.
That means that Foundation Capital, which agreed to buy $20 million worth of the new stock, and Trinity Ventures, which agreed to buy $5 million worth, got a big bump in the value of their holdings. So will bankers who have the option to purchase about $6.5 million worth of stock at the $7 offering price.
TubeMogul shares closed at $11.50 in its Wall Street debut. That's above the target range of between $11 and $13 that the company abandoned this week after Wilson and others from the company met with potential investors in their road show.
"We were surprised by the distaste that some investors have for the digital advertising technology sector," Wilson told me.
TubeMogul found itself being compared to New York-based Tremor Video and Redwood City-based YuMe, who both priced IPOs below expectations last year and have fallen even lower since. YuMe is trading at around $6 after going public at $9. Tremor is trading under $4 dollars after doing its offering at $10.

Nepal govt to keep strict eye on imports
Publication Date : 01-10-2012
The government will keep a strict vigilance over imports for the Dashain festival -- the most auspicious festival of Nepalese hindus -- in order to curb any possible revenue leakage.
A meeting of the Central Revenue Leakage Control Committee headed by the finance minister yesterday decided to direct district-level revenue leakage control committees headed by chief district officers to formulate necessary strategies to tackle revenue leakage.
The country sees massive imports during the festive season, which is celebrated across the nation for 15 days.
The meeting also decided to control smuggling by increasing the patrol of mobile revenue leakage control teams represented by the Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, customs offices and other government officials.
It also decided to increase checks on vehicles carrying goods and control the use of small customs clearance documents, according to a press release issued by the finance ministry.
As the Armed Police Force has also been assigned the job of industrial security, the meeting decided to prepare a Standard Operating Procedure within the next 15 days to bring the Industrial and Revenue Security Force into action.
The committee directed the Department of Customs to keep customs offices closed for minimum possible days during the festival in a bid to make import smooth.
The department was also directed to maintain uniformity in the price of imported goods at all customs offices based on the valuation rate fixed by the government.
The meeting asked Inland Revenue Department to conduct market monitoring and extensive publicity to help develop the habit of bill exchange among buyers and sellers.

Republicans lean on market solution for foreclosures
Send this to a friend
- Mike Sunnucks
- Senior Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Republican presidential candidates all pretty much concurred with frontrunner Mitt Romney's assessment that foreclosures and distressed mortgages should run their course.
The housing market that continues to trouble places like Phoenix came up during a CNBC GOP presidential debate from Michigan on Wednesday. The candidates were asked how they felt about Romney's previous comments that he wouldn't continue government mortgage modification and assistance programs.
The other GOP candidates, including Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich, concurred with Romney that the housing market needs to work itself out. The candidates, including Cain, said the economy needs to be lifted for housing to recover.
The Southwestern U.S. including Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and Riverside, Calif. have some of the highest foreclosure and underwater mortgage rates in the U.S.
The Republicans also blamed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac much of the housing troubles and want those government-backed entities dismantled or totally privatized.
Romney stuck by his guns that the marketplace should work out the housing mess. "Markets work," he said.
Democrats hope to make the foreclosure issue and the GOP approach an issue next year. They have already run TV ads on the issue.
The GOP candidates also railed against President Barack Obama's health reforms and the Dodd-Frank banking regulations. Former Utah governor and U.S. ambassador to China Jon Hunstman said he would take steps to avoid big bank and corporate bailouts.
He also doesn't like the idea of large banks having large market shares and creating "too big to fail" scenarios.

Brooks Automation buys Nexus Biosystems for $79M
Send this to a friend
- Rodney Brown
Chelmsford instrumentation company Brooks Automation Inc. has closed on a purchase of Nexus Biosystems Inc. of Poway, Calif., in a cash deal worth $79 million.
According to a release from Brooks (Nasdaq: BRKS), Nexus makes automated compound and sample management solutions for life sciences companies. In addition to the $79 million, the company paid approximately $6.7 million for the value of the unrestricted cash held by Nexus at closing.
Steve Schwartz, president and CEO of Brooks, said in the release, "Together with our other recent acquisition, RTS Life Sciences, and our core technical competencies at Brooks, we plan to build Brooks Life Science Systems into the market and innovation leader in Biobanking and Compound Sample Management."
Brooks Bought RTS Life Sciences, a UK-based provider of automation products to life sciences markets, for $3.3 million, net of cash on hand on April 1. Later that month, Brooks decided to sell off a contract manufacturing business unit based in Oregon for $80 million in cash to Canadian firm Celestica Inc. At the time, Schwartz said in a statement that the deal would give Brooks cash to be used in areas outside its traditional strength of wafer front end semiconductor capital equipment.
Schwartz was named president of Brooks in April of 2010. He joined Brooks after having served as president, CEO and chairman of automation solutions company Asyst Technologies Inc. for eight years.

Seats break loose on American Airlines flights: FAA investigating
The federal government is examining two separate incidents in which passenger seats came loose midflight on American Airlines planes in the last three days.
AP Airlines Writer
The federal government is examining two separate incidents in which passenger seats came loose midflight on American Airlines planes in the last three days.
American said Monday that it would inspect those and six other Boeing 757 jets overnight.
The Federal Aviation Administration said both planes had recently undergone maintenance work that required seats to be removed and reinstalled. American spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said an initial review found that there could be a problem with the way the seats fit into tracks on the floor.
"Out of an abundance of caution, American has decided to proactively re-inspect eight 757s today that could possibly have this same issue," Huguely said. The FAA said it is looking into the incidents but didn't provide many more details.
Boeing Co. declined to comment. On Saturday, a flight from Boston to Miami made an emergency landing in New York after three passenger seats came loose shortly after takeoff. The airline said there were no injuries, and passengers were put on another plane to Miami.
On Monday, an American flight from New York to Miami returned to John F. Kennedy International Airport after loose seats were discovered.
The incidents involved separate repair facilities and groups of American Airlines and contract workers, Huguely said. American flew engineers, crew chiefs and inspectors from its maintenance base in Tulsa, Okla., to New York to examine the planes, she said.
American had 124 Boeing 757s as of December. The eight being inspected use a similar seat assembly, officials said.
The 757s that American operates in the United States have 22 first-class seats and 166 in economy.
Airline and government officials discouraged speculation that the incidents could be related to labor-management tension at American, which is cutting labor costs and laying off maintenance workers as it tries to turn around under bankruptcy protection.
Last week American accused some pilots of conducting an illegal work slowdown that has led to a spike in delayed and canceled flights. The airline threatened to take the pilots' union to court.
On Monday, American continued to have more cancelations and delays than its rivals, according to tracking service FlightStats.com. But American's 17 cancellations and 61 percent on-time rating for arrivals were better than many of the airline's performances in September.
The delays and cancellations have annoyed passengers, but even the hint of mechanical issues could frighten them away and even threaten American's existence, experts said.
"These things can kill an airline," said George Hobica, founder of travel website airfarewatchdog.com. "With a delay or cancellation, you're sitting on the ground. (With loose seats) if the plane hits turbulence, people go flying."
Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst in San Francisco, said that if travelers perceive maintenance to be lax, "passengers will start booking away from American Airlines in droves. This is very serious stuff. You need to get corporate security involved."
FAA officials said they have stepped up scrutiny of American as they do with all airlines operating in bankruptcy protection. American and parent AMR Corp. filed for Chapter 11 in November.

tabi Bonney - Hang Glide
Artist: tabi Bonney
Producer: Ski Beatz
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 8 votes )
I've been looking everywhere for Tabi Bonney over the last six months, but he was nowhere to be found – at least on our pages. Turns out all I had to do was buy a ticket to the Paid Dues tour, or look up; apparently the young DMV representer likes to Hang Glide. Now that Tabi's off the road he's decided to once again get our ears re-accustomed to his signature sound by releasing Hang Glide, an appropriately floating joint that soars on a distinctly eclectic Ski Beatz beat that combines an earthbound piano line with big drums, synths and some cartoon sound effects. Bucking the recent trend towards altitude-marijuana metaphors, Tabi instead grabs the mic to talk about how his hang gliding ways suddenly have him looking down on all the haters. So how about it Booth? Does this one soar above the clouds, or just sit there? Let us know in the comments below. While Bonney doesn't have a larger projects in the works, yet, now that he's back in studio mode we can expect much more from the young man coming soon.

Manchester United sign Arsenal captain Robin van Persie for £24m in major coup for Alex Ferguson
Manager steals a march over his biggest rivals after Arsenal finally agree to offload Dutch striker
Martin Hardy
Martin Hardy is a football reporter at 'The Independent'.
Thursday 16 August 2012
Sir Alex Ferguson was last night celebrating a major transfer market victory over his biggest rivals after Arsenal finally relented and agreed to sell Robin van Persie to Manchester United for about £24m.
The move represents the biggest coup of the summer transfer window so far and firmly re-establishes United's position in English football after surrendering their title to Manchester City in such dramatic circumstances last season.
Roberto Mancini, the City manager, failed in his attempts to implore his board to move for the Dutch international, 29, who announced last month that he would not be entering negotiations to renew his contract at the Emirates Stadium, with his existing deal heading into its final 12 months.
That alone rocked Arsenal's manager, Arsène Wenger, who believed the bond he had established with the player since he signed him eight years ago from Feyenoord would be enough to convince him to stay.
However, the statement merely acted to strengthen Ferguson's desire to sign Van Persie, who scored 34 goals in English football last season, and he has spent the summer trying to bridge the gap between the two clubs.
Wenger had insisted he would not allow the player to go for less than £30m but Manchester United's final offer is believed to be nearer to the £20m that was set aside for the forward. It could rise to £24m.
Wenger had favoured Van Persie moving to Juventus, who lodged a £10m bid at the start of the summer. Ferguson spoke to Wenger on Monday in an attempt to broker a deal that Wenger was always reluctant to agree to, and talks developed quickly between the two clubs yesterday.
The player had privately set his heart on a move to Old Trafford and that was on the brink of completion last night when both Arsenal and Manchester United released statements saying a fee had been agreed. Van Persie was due to head straight from the Netherlands' friendly in Brussels against Belgium last night to have his medical in Manchester today.
Manchester United are believed to have prepared a deal which, including image rights, will land the player near the £200,000-a-week salary he wanted over the course of a five-year contract.A statement on United's website said: "Manchester United is pleased to announce it has reached agreement with Arsenal Football Club for the transfer of Robin van Persie. The deal is subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms. A further announcement will be made in due course."
Arsenal added their own statement: "Arsenal Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for the transfer of Robin van Persie to Manchester United. Van Persie will travel to Manchester on Thursday in order to agree personal terms and complete a medical ahead of the proposed move."
Van Persie will become the first player to move directly to Old Trafford from Arsenal since Viv Anderson made the same switch 25 years ago. He is also the latest in a succession of big names to flee the Emirates, following the high-profile departures of Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gaël Clichy. There could be further disappointment, with Barcelona still chasing Alex Song, who has admitted he was flattered by the interest of the Catalan giants. In contrast, Manchester United have reaffirmed their position in the domestic game with the addition of last year's double player of the year.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
