unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

MTA Consolidates 117 Separate Public Information Numbers Into One (511)
Amazingly, the MTA once, all too recently, had 117 separate phone numbers that the public could call in order to complain, get information, report issues, or chat with their favorite MTA specialist (O.K., we're only just imagining the latter). But now the day has come in which there is but one consolidated easy number for all of your MTA needs. Think of it as the 311 of transit! In a partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation, it is...511. You may also call it "the New York State Travel Information Line."
511 had already existed as a transportation information line, and you can still call it for updates on highway conditions and status on roads and bridges, traffic and congestion, and such. Now it will also direct MTA customers "through a single portal with an interactive voice response system connecting to customer service and travel information for all MTA agencies." So you can use it, for instance, to get information on schedules, the lost and found, tolls, ticket refunds, group travel, comments and concerns, and more.
Assuming you are willing to make a phone call, this is good. Or, in the words of MTA Managing Director Diana Jones Ritter: "Customers now have a single phone number for all transportation-related questions, instead of a long and sometimes confusing list of agencies and departments."
Service, which is provided at no cost to you or the MTA (the DOT is picking up the tab), comes via 511 or their website, 511NY.org, and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Let us hope that this streamlining translates to other portions of our city (and its bureaucracy), as well.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- St. John's went to a pressing defense late in the game. That's just what North Carolina point guard Cetera DeGraffenreid wanted.
DeGraffenreid scored 16 points and tied a career high with 10 assists to help the fourth-ranked Tar Heels defeat the Red Storm 83-73 on Sunday.
"They started pressing, so I knew that we had an advantage," DeGraffenreid said. "I just tried to get past the defense."
DeGraffenreid succeeded, scoring six points during a decisive 12-2 run down the stretch for the Tar Heels (6-1). She accounted for 14 of North Carolina's last 16 points, scoring eight herself and handing out three assists.
"We press a lot, and we couldn't contain DeGraffenreid at all," St. John's coach Kim Barnes Arico said. "That's a tough matchup for anyone. She's so quick."
Italee Lucas scored 17 points to lead the Tar Heels, who bounced back from a 72-66 loss at No. 22 Michigan State on Thursday. Tierra Ruffin-Pratt added 13 points and 10 rebounds for North Carolina, and teammate Chay Shegog contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Da'Shena Stevens scored 25 points to lead St. John's (7-1), which had won its first seven games by an average margin of 22 points. Sky Lindsay added 11 points for the Red Storm.
St. John's, which trailed 45-33 at halftime, scored the first 11 points of the second half. The Red Storm tied the game at 65 on two free throws by Nadirah McKenith with 7:37 remaining, but DeGraffenreid sparked a 12-2 run that put the Tar Heels ahead 77-67 with 4:26 left.
After a basket by Ruffin-Pratt, DeGraffenreid assisted on a layup by Waltiea Rolle. DeGraffenreid then scored North Carolina's next six points, banking in two driving layups to give the Tar Heels their cushion.
Both teams missed plenty of opportunities before North Carolina's decisive run. The Tar Heels, who missed their first seven free throws, finished 14 of 26 at the line. St. John's made just 19 of 35 free throws.
"It was a ragged game," North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell said.
The game was far from free-flowing -- but not just because the teams combined for 49 fouls and 41 turnovers. Each half featured multiple delays, some for several minutes, as the game clock and shot clock malfunctioned.
After the final delay, which occurred with 17:01 remaining in the second half, officials turned off the scoreboard and the clocks above each basket. New clocks resting on the floor showed the teams how much time remained, and the public address announcer updated the score after each basket until arena employees figured out how to post the score on four video boards.
The last -- and longest -- stoppage occurred just after the Red Storm's spurt to start the second half. North Carolina ended the surge with two baskets before play was stopped.
"We had made a little bit of a run there," Barnes Arico said. "We had the momentum going and then, boom. And then it was a long period of time. So I think it was tough. But I'm sure it was difficult for them as well."

Can New Zealand win the 2015 Rugby World Cup?
June 23rd, 2015 at 6:54 pm
COMMENTS: Please give me your feedback on twitter @johngubba – and stay in touch @visionsportTV
Whether or not the upcoming Rugby World Cup lives up to its billing as the third biggest sporting event on the planet, the All Blacks know this is their big chance to prove they truly are the greatest.
Despite winning the inaugural tournament on home soil back in 1987, New Zealand left their supremacy open to question for more than 30 years when they failed to recapture rugby union's biggest prize in five subsequent attempts.
Only when the tournament returned to New Zealand four years ago did the All Blacks finally become world champions again. And it was far from convincing as they squeezed home by the narrowest of margins beating France 8-7 in the Final at Eden Park.
When the 2015 RWC gets under way on September 18, New Zealand will be expecting to reach the final on October 31st at Twickenham. Victory would make them the first nation to successfully defend the trophy. But this will be their biggest challenge yet because the All Blacks have never won the World Cup on foreign soil.
The truth is they have an incredibly strong squad and are more than capable of thrashing any challenger. With the likes of veteran Keven Mealamu, experienced fly-half Dan Carter and flanker Richie McCaw in the squad, the Kiwis have talent in abundance and have players to hurt opponents on both sides of the ball. Their aggressive style will ensure that they are fully committed in the tackle. While their sensational ball handling skills should mean that the All Blacks score plenty of tries throughout the tournament.
Nonetheless, even red hot favourites are vulnerable when they take opponents for granted and there are a number of teams with the talent to win the tournament if they hit their best form in the key matches. As they did when they last hosted the tournament in 1991, England certainly fancy their chances of reaching the Twickenham Final.
Rugby legend Jonathan Davies today insisted his beloved Wales have every chance of lifting the trophy. And never rule out two time winners South Africa and Australia. While Six Nations Champions Ireland have earned the right to be optimistic.
The All Blacks kick off their defence of the title against fellow Pool C contenders Argentina at Wembley. With Tonga, Georgia and Namibia completing the group, New Zealand already have one eye on their potential quarter-final opponents. No disrespect to the other four teams, but New Zealand are by far the best team in Pool C and even the All Blacks' second string would probably power through to the knockout stages. The winner of Pool C will face the runner up in Pool D, which is likely to be France or Ireland next for the Kiwis.
So, can the All Blacks win this year's competition and retain the title? Of course they can. New Zealand are in scintillating form and their players will be primed and ready for the tournament to get underway. If the Kiwis perform at their best, the title is theirs. In fact, it could even be argued that the competition is already theirs to lose – such is the raw natural talent of that New Zealand side.
As for the status of the upcoming tournament, World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper insists: "It is the third biggest global event of an international flavour." The undisputed big two of course are the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup.

Real Change Takes Time – How Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea work together to improve facilities for disabled supporters
May 18th, 2015 at 2:25 pm
COMMENTS: Please give me your feedback on twitter @johngubba – and stay in touch @visionsportTV
During my recent trip to Catalonia, I learned the true meaning of FC Barcelona's slogan "més que un club."
"More than a club" expresses the commitment that Futbol Club Barcelona has maintained down the ages beyond the realm of sport.
For many years, this commitment specifically referred to Catalan society, which for many decades of the 20th century lived under dictatorships that persecuted its language and culture.
Today Barca's magnificent mantra is much more than that, because the club has extended its social commitment to the rest of the planet.
In 2006 an agreement with Unicef was the Catalan's way of saying that a sports club should not be marginal to problems going on in society, when Barca gave their full support to the plight of children around the world.
Last month – on 28 April 2015 – FC Barcelona began another new initiative when Camp Nou hosted the First International Symposium on Disability and Football. This was a ground breaking event, which I am proud to say my good friend Phil Downs, Manchester United's Disability Liason Officer, attended as one of the main speakers.
The event was also supported, among others, by Bayern Munich, Chelsea, AFC Ajaz and their respective experts on disability and social inclusion. I was filming the Symposium for an upcoming documentary I am making for Manchester United's TV Channel, MUTV.
At the Camp Nou Symposium it was encouraging to hear about the advances made at the participating elite clubs around Europe. What has become apparent since is the true meaning and significance of the opening statement by Phil Downs that "real change takes time."
Under Downs' stewardship, since it was launched back in 1989, Manchester United's Disabled Supporters Association (MUDSA) has made remarkable progress at Old Trafford.
The match day facilities are outstanding and a million light years better than what they were back in the eighties. Hence the invite to Downs to share his knowledge and vision of the future at Camp Nou.
Kim Kramer, the disabled speaker from Bayern Munich, underlined the impact Manchester United's Disability Liaison Officer has made in helping to shape new stadiums around the world when he described Phil Downs as his mentor, who has inspired him and others to push for better facilities for disabled supporters.
Yet back in Manchester, it is clear to me that the good work done by MUDSA is often handicapped by supporters who put their own interests ahead of the long term goals of the organisation working tirelessly to benefit all disabled supporters.
Take, for example, the case of Martin Emery who has launched a personal campaign against Manchester United because of what he perceives as a failure by the club to accommodate him and his three sons, one of whom is in a wheelchair, on matchday.
Mr Emery was told due to space restrictions, he would have to get another adult to sit with his younger boys, who are aged six and four, while he accompanied Jordan, 18, in the wheelchair section. As a father myself, I understand why all four family members would prefer to sit together. But I think it is a real shame that one disgruntled fan has used the tabloid media to magnify his complaint rather than lend his support to the very organisation constantly working to improve facilities for disabled supporters.
While the media are only interested in highlighting the negative aspects of this story, the truth is that Mr Emery remains welcome to take Jordan to a match at Old Trafford. And I strongly urge him to accept this offer so he can share the match day experience with his son. I would also advise him to join MUDSA and take part in some of the wonderful family events organised for the benefit of disabled supporters held throughout the year.
Over the past six months I have seen first hand how disabled supporters can benefit by working together and sharing social experiences.
As FC Barcelona have demonstrated by hosting last month's symposium and urging all clubs to take a united approach in tackling how to improve access for disabled supporters, it is clear to me that this is the way forward. By sharing knowledge and ideas, accepting that facilities can be improved and discussing how to make changes thing will continue to get better. The current facilities are not perfect but the advances made and the will to make further improvements are beyond question.
As Phil Downs so eloquently explains, it is all about "evolution not revolution."
There is a real danger that Mourinho's 'boring' Chelsea can dominate Premier League for rest of the decade
May 5th, 2015 at 11:55 pm

Not only has Jose Mourinho transformed an ageing Chelsea side into Premier League champions in the space of just two seasons, the truth is that the Special One has laid foundations that could see his club dominate English football for the rest of the decade.
In election parlance, this has been an almighty swing from the Reds to the Blues.
Since United were crowned champions two years ago when Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Chelsea's net spending on transfers has been massively exceeded by both Manchester clubs, Arsenal and even Liverpool. And yet Mourinho has assembled a squad so much stronger than the one he inherited that they are now head and shoulders above the competition.
As Gary Neville so eloquently explained on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, these are challenging times because Chelsea's rivals all are in danger of being left behind on and off the pitch.
At 222 million pounds Chelsea have spent more on players than any other Premier League club since June 2013. But shrewd wheeling and dealing has recouped 168M, leaving a net spend of just 54M.
Compare that to the net spends of Manchester United – 168M, Manchester City – 115M, Arsenal – 103M and Liverpool – 60M.
On the pitch Chelsea, who finished 14 points behind 2013 champions United, have wrapped up the title with three matches still to play – 18 points ahead of the Old Trafford club and 13 ahead of last years top dogs City.
While critics seek to belittle Mourinho's achievement by labelling his style of play boring, the truth is that Chelsea have the personnel to play attractive football when they want to. And in Edin Hazard the Blues have an exciting superstar as good as any player in the game behind the top two of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
In his insightful tribute to Mourinho's remarkable achievement, Neville concludes: "If we'd have said at the end of the 2012/13 season that they were going to abide by FFP, not spend as much as others, have a net spend of £54million, have an overhaul of the squad and turn it into today's squad, you would say that is an unbelievable performance. He's reduced the age, he's won the league, and it is a far stronger squad."

Bournemouth have put romance back into English football – and Howe they deserve it

Bournemouth's fairytale promotion to the Premier League will complete a remarkable story that proves that it is still possible for dreams to come true for the minnows of English football.
Just seven years after the south-coast club almost went out of business when they were minutes away from liquidation, an historic 3-0 over Bolton has effectively promoted the Cherries to the top flight. And that is a wonderful shot in the arm for the game of football in an age where the richest clubs dominate.
Eddie Howe, the manager who has masterminded this Roy of the Rovers success, from League 2 to the Premier League, summed up his side's triumph perfectly when he told the BBC: "This club was on its knees six years ago."
"We had nothing. A group of supporters put their money in their pockets to keep the club alive and they are reaping the rewards. It is the club I watched as a kid, the club that gave me an opportunity in the game as a player and a manager.
"It shouldn't be them thanking me, it should be me thanking them. It is a family club and deserves its moment in the sun."
The truth is that Bournemouth richly deserve that moment in the sun because Howe's team have entertained fans around the country with a season of sparkling football. Proof that you do not have to park the bus to achieve your goal. Are you listening Jose Mourinho?
Masterclass by Harry Kane has shown world why Premier League title race is never over – and England has a new superstar
January 1st, 2015 at 9:28 pm
COMMENTS: Please give me your feedback on twitter @johngubba – and stay in touch @visionsportTV
New Year's Day 2015 proved once again that the English Premier League is a marathon not a sprint.
It was also the day a global audience witnessed a spectacular performance by young England striker Harry Kane, who at times was simply unplayable, scoring twice and contributing two assists as Spurs crushed title favourites Chelsea 5-3.
Jose Mourinho was left making lame excuses and wrongly blaming the officials after his side were given the lead by Diego Costa before being brushed aside by a Kane masterclass.
With Manchester City surrendering a two goal lead for the second time in five days before edging the points in a 3-2 win over Sunderland, all bets are off a runaway triumph by Chelsea who are now hauled back to level pegging by the defending champions.
Even Manchester United, nine points behind the joint leaders, will believe they can still feature in the race for the title. While Spurs are well and truly back in contention for the top four at least.
The only certainty is that the world's most watched League is destined for another fascinating second half.
What makes the plot even more intriguing is that Chelsea have potentially shot themselves in the foot by discarding midfield legend Frank Lampard, whose latest match winner against Sunderland has lifted rivals Manchester City to joint top spot.
For the sanity of the game, this fickle abuse of Premier League managers by experts and fans must stop

Reflecting on some of the ridiculous criticism dished out to Premier League managers so far this season by so-called experts and short-sighted fans, it has never been more obvious that success is more likely for the clubs who stand by their managers.
Even Chelsea – the club famous for changing manager's more frequently than the ordinary man puts on a new pair of socks – look like benefitting from giving Jose Mourinho another season after ending 2013/2014 empty handed.
A few weeks ago Alan Pardew was top of the hit list after a poor start by Newcastle United. Today he picked up November's Barclays Manager of the month award. Sam Allardyce, whose tenure at West Ham United looked in danger pre-season, is sitting pretty in the top four.
Louis Van Gaal, has been criticised in recent week's by United legends Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, the latter of whom predicted Sunday's match with Liverpool would be like watching two pub teams. Yet victory for the Red Devils will make it six straight wins. Remember the wise words of LVG pre-season when he warned the doubters that it would be at least three months before things improved.
With new signings Angel Di Maria, Radamel Falco, Daley Blind and Luke Shaw all missing Monday night's priceless 2-1 win at Southampton, it is worth noting that the new United manager is delivering results despite being handicapped by a seemingly endless injury list that currently includes Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Rafael.
Over at Anfield, Brendan Rodgers is unbelievably under fire just six months after narrowly failing to deliver Liverpool their first Premier League title since 1990. What do the fans expect after losing Luis Suarez to Barcelona and Daniel Sturridge to injury. The truth is Rodgers' side overachieved last season and deficiencies in their squad have left them hopelessly exposed for a twin campaign at home and in Europe.
Fair enough Rodgers has made mistakes and his summer signings have so far failed to deliver. But what will Liverpool achieve by pressing the panic button and abandoning one of the best young managers in the game?
In the summer many experts were praising the Liverpool boss for snapping up Mario Balotelli for a 'bargain' 16 million pounds. It was a gamble by Rodgers that has not yet paid off and the Italian maverick may forever be defined by Mourinho's assessment that he is quite simply 'unmanageable."
Manchester City's manager Manuel Pellegrini started the week with experts predicting he would soon be out of a job. The defending Premier League champions are now in the last 16 of the Champions League, as well as being just three points behind Chelsea in the title race.
Worst of all is the shocking abuse from so-called Arsenal fans for Arsene Wenger at Stoke last week. Do those fans not realise what the Frenchman achieved on Tuesday when the Gunners breezed into the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 15th successive season.
The truth is that a good manager will always deliver if he is given the time he needs to finish the job. For the sanity of the game let's end this ridiculous obsession with the mob mentality of hounding managers out after a couple of bad results.
It's not just about winning titles! Bryan Robson tribute to Big Ron
December 12th, 2014 at 9:55 pm
COMMENTS: Please give me your feedback on twitter @johngubba – and stay in touch @visionsportTV
As former Manchester United and England legend Bryan Robson told me in a recent interview: "Manager's are judged on the signings they make, not just on results."
Later the same day while filming a TV interview with Ron Atkinson – the most successful manager to occupy the Old Trafford hot seat in the era between the formidable reigns of Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson – I could not help wondering 'What might have been for Big Ron if he'd been allowed a little more time?'
Atkinson, of course, was the man who took Captain Marvel to the Theatre of Dreams. One of United's best ever signings. He also delivered two FA Cup triumphs and never finished outside the Top 4, recruiting the likes of Frank Stapleton and Remi Moses and giving Norman Whiteside his debut before his 17th birthday.
Big Ron also took United into the UEFA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup, where the Reds narrowly lost out in 1984's semi-final against Juventus. That European campaign included a 3-2 aggregate win in the quarter-finals against a Barcelona side featuring Diego Maradona.
The 3-0 second-leg triumph against Barça overturned the Catalans' 2-0 win at Camp Nou and still ranks as arguably the greatest night ever at Old Trafford. Robson scored twice before Stapleton clinched an unforgettable victory. As Atkinson proudly recalls: "Even to this day, bearing in mind some of the things United have done since, people still say the atmosphere that night transcended anything they can remember. It was unbelievable."
More than 30 years later, the memories are part of United folklore and the relevance of a subtle Bryan Robson tribute to Big Ron is worth taking note of when judging today's top flight managers.
Ashes to Ashes: Emotional farewell to Australia's Phil Hughes
December 3rd, 2014 at 8:36 pm
COMMENTS: Please give me your feedback on twitter @johngubba – and stay in touch @visionsportTV
It is guaranteed that when Australia return to England next summer the shadow created by the tragic loss of Phil Hughes will loom as large it does today as we mourn his funeral.
Not a day of the 2015 Ashes Series will unfold without players, fans and commentators lamenting the absence of a young cricketer who has posthumously become a national hero far beyond the boundaries of the game.
When the hugely talented and popular left hand batsmen died playing the game he loved last Thursday – just one week short of his 26th birthday – the worldwide shock and mourning touched heights we have not seen in the English speaking world since the passing of Princess Diana.
Hughes was felled at 63 not out by a freak bouncer, delivered by Sean Abbott, that hit him on the back of his unprotected neck while batting for South Australia against New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
It was an abrupt end to the young life of a cricketer who had already achieved greatness, but promised to hit so many more heights in the future.
The sight of Test skipper and close friend Michael Clarke delivering a gut wrenchingly emotional eulogy at the funeral service in Hughes' home town of Macksville was a stunningly raw sharing of public grief. Broadcast live to millions Clarke paid a passionate tribute to his "Little brother" that was a fitting eulogy for "a man whose soul enriched all of our lives".
Phillip Hughes eulogy by Michael Clarke
Cricket.com.au tribute to Phillip Hughes [1988-2014] The full tribute
Full transcript of the Phil Hughes eulogy by Michael Clarke:
"I'm deeply honoured to have been asked by Phillip's family to speak today. I am humbled to be in the presence of you, his family, his friends and his community. He was so proud of Macksville and it is easy to see why today.
Taken from the game, his family and loved ones at the age of just 25, he left a mark on our game that needs no embellishment. I don't know about you, but I keep looking for him.
I know it is crazy but I expect any minute to take a call from him or to see his face pop around the corner. Is this what we call the spirit? If so, then his spirit is still with me. And I hope it never leaves.
I walked to the middle of the SCG on Thursday night, those same blades of grass beneath my feet where he and I and so many of his mates here today have built partnerships, taken chances and lived out the dreams we paint in our heads as boys.
The same stands where the crowds rose to their feet to cheer them on and that same fence he sent the ball to time and time again. And it is now forever the place where he fell.
I stood there at the wicket, I knelt down and touched the grass, I swear he was with me. Picking me up off my feet to check if I was OK.
Telling me we just needed to dig in and get through to tea. Telling me off for that loose shot I played. Chatting about what movie we might watch that night. And then passing on a useless fact about cows.
I could see him swagger back to the other end, grin at the bowler, and call me through for a run with such a booming voice, a bloke in the car park would hear it.
The heart of a man who lived his life for this wonderful game we play, and whose soul enriched not just our sport, but all of our lives.
Is this what indigenous Australians believe about a person's spirit being connected with the land upon which they walk? If so, I know they are right about the SCG.
His spirit has touched it and it will forever be a sacred ground for me. I can feel his presence there and I can see how he has touched so many people around the world. The tributes to him from cricket lovers kept me going.
The photos, the words, the prayers and the sense of communion in this loss from people across the globe have shown me his spirit in action. It has sustained me and overwhelmed me in equal measure. And the love of my band of baggy green and gold brothers and sisters have held me upright when I thought I could not proceed.
His spirit has brought us closer together – something I know must be him at work because it is so consistent with how he played and lived. He always wanted to bring people together and he always wanted to celebrate his love for the game and its people.
Is this what we call the spirit of cricket? From the little girl holding a candlelight tribute, to masters of the game like Tendulkar, Warne and Lara, the spirit of cricket binds us all together. We feel it in the thrill of a cover drive. Or the taking of a screamer at gully, whether by a 12-year-old boy or by Brendon McCullum in Dubai. It is in the brilliant five-wicket haul, just as significant to the players in a Western Suburbs club game as it is in a Test match.
The bonds that led to cricketers from around the world putting their bats out, that saw people who didn't even know Phillip lay flowers, and that brought every cricketing nation on earth to make its own heartfelt tribute.
The bonds that saw players old and new rush to his bedside from wherever they heard the news to say their prayers and farewells. This is what makes our game the greatest game in the world.
Phillip's spirit, which is now part of our game forever, will act as a custodian of the sport we all love.
We must listen to it. We must cherish it. We must learn from it. We must dig in and get through to tea. And we must play on.
So rest in peace my little brother. I'll see you out in the middle."
How Marvellous Macari's big-hearted signing inspired TV gold and fantasy football script based on true story destined to win awards
October 18th, 2014 at 7:43 pm
COMMENTS: Please give me your feedback on twitter @johngubba – and stay in touch @visionsportTV
As a documentary filmmaker who loves the unconventional, I adored Marvellous, a magical tale based on a true story about former circus clown turned kitman Neil Baldwin.
The fact that it magnifies and highlights an inspired signing by my old MUTV buddy Lou Macari – one of my boyhood heroes – is a delicious bonus.
This marvellous drama is a wonderful legacy for a magnificent footballing legend who has a genuine heart of gold and an affinity with the common man that is sadly lacking in so many of today's so called stars.
Macari movingly says in the film that hiring sacked circus clown 'Nello' as his kitman at Stoke City was "the best signing" he ever made while he was manager of The Potters.
It was an inspired decision by a man who has endured so many heartaches of his own, from career threatening courtroom dramas to gut wrenching personal tragedy.
The way the BBC blurred this real story into a truly marvellous piece of television inter woven with fantasy and raw emotion was priceless. If you have yet to watch this televisual masterpiece it is only available on the BBC iPlayer until the end of October. [After that, see below for a link to the full programme on Neil Baldwin's YouTube Channel.]
Hearing Macari talk firsthand about the film and the true events behind it at a sportsman's evening in Berkshire this week reinforced everything I already thought about this ex-footballer/manager turned pundit. And more.
Little Lou was the footballer with the huge heart. A gem of a player I used to cheer on from the Stretford End when he was the darling of the Manchester United fans in the mid 1970s. I was there at Wembley in 1977 when Macari's shot deflected off Jimmy Greenhoff to claim a 2-1 win over favourites Liverpool that won the FA Cup
It was Liverpool's Bill Shankly who first told Macari he admired him because he was a player with a big heart when he unsuccessfully tried to sign him from Celtic before Tommy Docherty's razor sharpe assistant Paddy Crerand recruited him for United.
That big heart of gold was all apparent at the Belgian Arms in Holyport on Wednesday night where this pint-sized man who does not drink held his audience in the palm of his hands.
Hearing Lou tell the story of how he was driven down South from Glasgow and ended up sat next to Crerand at Anfield after being offered a '"massive" £190 a week contract to play for Liverpool was priceless on so many levels.
Landlord Nick Parkinson, son of famous Manchester United fan and chatshow host supreme Michael, watched on as TalkSport's Tony Lockwood coaxed a catalogue of inside stories from our celebrity guest.
For those of us who grew up watching old school sporting superstars like Macari this was a rare privilege that future generations are unlikely to ever experience. Can you imagine current stars like Gareth Bale or Raheem Sterling driving themselves on a 400 mile roundtrip on a wet Wednesday night to reminisce with 50 or so football fans. Not only that but he donated the £550 he raised by auctioning off a couple of tickets for a match at Old Trafford to the Stoke Foodbank charity.
Asked what he thought of Sterling being "too tired" to play for England, Macari's response gave us an insight into how times have changed. "When I played the game it was our responsibility to be fit. If I had told Jock Stein I was too tired to play for Celtic I would have been straight out of the club."
Equally fascinating was hearing Macari's tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson "as the greatest ever" manager whose record "will never be beaten" and his comparison to Stein, the man who set him on the road to stardom in the late sixties.
MARVELLOUS: Written by Peter Bowker and directed by Julian Farino is a Tiger Aspect production starring Toby Jones as Neil Baldwin and Tony Curran as Lou Macari. If ever a drama was destined to win awards, it is is this feature-length masterpiece.
Wenger v Mourinho: Why it's a split decision in a fight the 'Special One' can't lose – and that really hurts the 'Mad Professor'
October 6th, 2014 at 1:36 pm
COMMENTS: Please give me your feedback on twitter @johngubba – and stay in touch @visionsportTV
Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson rattled Kevin Keegan's cage so violently that the then Newcastle United boss suffered an infamous meltdown live on Sky Sports, mind games have been Box Office.
When Arsene Wenger squared up to Jose Mourinho the verbals were less dramatic. But the venom was just as strong, as the elegant Frenchman momentarily turned into the Mad Professor.
The retaliation by the self-appointed Special One resulted in a comical exchange that was farcical in the extreme. A petulant push by Wenger. A mischievous flick of the tie by Mourinho.
Say what you like about bringing the game into disrepute and setting an example for the kids. The truth is football fans and the media loved an exchange that will be talked about long after most of us forget the intimate details of what happened on the pitch.
Not that the match was forgettable. Far from it. This was an almighty scrap that could have resulted in 5 or 6 red cards and ended in a knockout by the team In the Blue corner.
Arsene's Reds lack the bottle and the killer instinct to down their West End superiors and that is what really hurts Wenger.
He is yet to beat Mourinho on the pitch and he's losing the battle off it too. Just like Ferguson owned Keegan and Rafa Benitez when the Liverpool boss lost the plot with his famous rant about "the facts" in 2009, Mourinho owns Wenger when it comes to mind games.
Chelsea are a cut above Arsenal and always have been when Mourinho has been manager at the Bridge.
But ask yourself which manager would you prefer to be in charge of your team and it's not such an easy decision.
Over the weekend I was at the Henley Literary Festival where high profile sports journalists Paddy Barclay, Matt Dickinson and Guillem Balague were promoting their respective books about Herbert Chapman, Bobby Moore and Lionel Messi.
When the subject turned to the rivalry between Wenger and Mourinho the audience were asked by Barclay to make their choice. The show of hands confirmed the theory of Times Chief Sports Correspondent Dickenson that this is split decision.
And that is where the real argument begins.
Would you prefer your team to play the beautiful game with the purist ideals of the man who has delivered a style of football that is so pleasing on the eye?
Or is football all about winning whatever the method? And there is no doubting the fact that Mourinho is a serial winner.
At Stamford Bridge the priceless combination of Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas magnified the gulf between Arsenal and Chelsea. But the cynical tactic of breaking up the Gunners rhythm by systematically fouling them high up the pitch gave the Blues the platform to control the match and inflict their killer blows in a decisive 2-0 win.
It is no secret that Mourinho wanted to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. The fact that he was overlooked by the one manager he truly respects when his good friend turned kingmaker may provide the verdict of English football's biggest club Manchester United.
Many Old Trafford fans secretly adore the showmanship and winning mentality of Mourinho. But there is something about his methods that is alien to the Theatre of Dreams. Wenger on the other hand – despite the unsavoury abuse dished out by certain elements of United's following – has the respect of every true Old Trafford purist.
When asked to choose between the two on Friday night I went for Wenger. Ask me tomorrow and I may give you a different answer.
Thankfully in my view my team has trumped both managers with Dutch master Louis Van Gaal. Ignore the jealous criticism from his fellow countryman Johan Cruyff who says United's boss has abandoned the Dutch philosophy of total football. Cruyff will soon be eating his words. But that is a theme I'll be expanding on in a future blog.

Hello! I am but a simple young man from Finland and a lover of the fine art of cartoons and comics. I like drawing quite much, that's why I am in DeviantART even though these days most of my drawings go to tumblr for most of them are just dumb doodles and I don't see fitting to post all of them here. Some other things I enjoy are cute animals, ugly sweaters and lame school comedy mangas.
For much more drawings and information about new projects I recommend you check out my tumblr. (linked below)
Gemsona update! I decided that green doesn't suit me at all so Jade turned into Agate. Also has a weapon now. Btw did you know giant african land snails are literally called agate snails in finnish? And I have one as a pet!
Honestly i should never draw or color anything late at night. And I did both w this. im so tired of my dingus.

Opening the nasal valve with external dilators reduces congestive symptoms in normal subjects
ABSTRACT We examined whether the use of two different external nasal dilator devices influenced the size of the nasal valve area and symptoms of nasal congestion.
This was a randomized blind-allocation, open three-way crossover study of Breathe Right, Side Strip Nasal Dilators, and placebo. We studied 12 healthy subjects (10 female, 2 male; age range 26-56 years). Measures of total volume and total minimum cross-sectional area were collected. Subjective symptoms were collected using a visual analog scale and an ordinal scale.
With both products, there was significant increase in the size of the minimum cross-sectional area compared to placebo, p = 0.004. This is supported by the decrease in the subjective reports of congestion; on the visual analog scale, compared to placebo p = 0.012 and the ordinal scale, compared to placebo, p = 0.004.
Both devices significantly increase the size of the nasal valve area and reduce congestion in normal subjects.

ABSTRACT: Most studies on nasal dilators have used Breathe Right or Nozovent. Both devices dilate the nasal valves, reduce nasal resistance, and improve nasal airflow. The use of dilators improves airflow most on inspiration, as the valve is stabilised and prevented from collapse. The response varies greatly between individuals, and can be impressive. The effect of nasal dilators may be lower in non-Caucasians. During exercise, nasal dilators delay the onset of oronasal breathing, and can have only small effects on performance thereafter. Nozovent and Breathe Right can reduce snoring, and improve otherwise obstructed breathing during sleep in selected patients. It is a challenge to find those patients, and one way could be to perform polysomnography with and without nasal dilator.Rhinology 01/2007; 44(4):239-48. · 3.76 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The symptoms and treatments for nasal obstruction are numerous and common. Yet, a consensus on a surgical approach or, even more importantly, how to define the success of any approach is lacking in the literature. A disease-specific outcomes instrument recently developed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, known as the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale, has allowed for a validated, uniform method to compare different treatments for nasal obstruction. Using the NOSE scale, we prospectively compared the use of bilateral radiofrequency inferior turbinate reduction (BRITR) only with that of BRITR with septoplasty in the treatment of nasal obstruction caused by the combination of septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy. NOSE scores were obtained pretreatment and at 3 month and 6 month follow-up. Our data demonstrated significant improvement from baseline after 6 months for the NOSE scores in both the BRITR (P < .001) and BRITR/septoplasty groups (P = .023). No statistical difference was noted in the amount of postoperative improvement between the two treatment groups (P = .304). Both groups did demonstrate a large, clinically important effect using a distribution-based assessment of clinical change. Despite equal clinically effective results, estimated costs for each treatment option differed significantly, with the office-based BRITR only group providing significant cost savings compared with the hospital-based BRITR/septoplasty group. This study suggests that BRITR should be considered as an initial treatment option for nasal obstruction rather than a septoplasty with turbinate reduction in patients with the clinical findings of both a septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy after failure of medical therapy.The Laryngoscope 11/2007; 117(11):1912-9.

ABSTRACT: Nasal obstruction is commonly due to enlargement of the inferior turbinate. This review discusses the pathophysiology of turbinate enlargement, the indications for, and methods and outcome of turbinate reduction. All techniques are successful but vary in their long-term efficacy, their propensity for complications and the degree to which they may adversely affect nasal function. Newer techniques under local anaesthetic and often endoscopic control offer outpatient treatment with satisfactory outcomes. However selecting a particular technique should take account of the individual patient's features, the surgeon's experience and judgement and informed patient choice.Rhinology 09/2009; 47(3):227-36.

5 Times to Stop Talking
There are situations when speaking just doesn't help. Columnist Leigh Newman opens her mouth about...when to zip our lips.
1 of 5
When You Can't Follow Through...
We all spot problems—at work, at home, in our various clubs. Every once and while, these malfunctions cause us to flip out, stand up and list them out loud. One example? That fateful Sunday in 2008 when I took the stage at my church's annual meeting and described all the anti-eco practices of our congregation including: not recycling bulletins, drinking from Styrofoam coffee cups and using paper paper towels. Granted, I had just had a baby and was worried about mounds of American trash toxifying my young, new son's world. But did I have the energy to re-order all the supplies? Did I have the money to make up for the budgetary differences—or the connections to raise the cash? Was I ready to turn over 15 hours a week to revamping the attitudes and practices of 200 members? The long answer was: I had a newborn, a 3-year-old, a full-time job, a moonlighting job, a broken dishwasher and a case of swine flu. The short answer was (and is): Do not flap your jaws about those hitches to the system that you can't put the effort into solving. The group you just criticized will forget your critical—and hypocritical—lecture after a while. But you won't—especially during coffee hour as you scarf down another non-organic cookie.

NHL Cancels Another 104 Hockey Games Through December 30
The latest round of cancellations means the league has wiped out 42.8 percent of the 2012-13 season amid a continuing players lockout.
TORONTO – The National Hockey League on Monday canceled another 104 regular-season games through December 30 as the players lockout continues.
The latest round of game cancelations means the league has wiped out 526 games, or 42.8 percent of the 2012-13 season.
The move also heralds continuing disruption for North American broadcasters, including NBC Sports and the CBC, Sportsnet and TSN in Canada, which depend on live TV hockey games to drive their schedules and ad revenues.
STORY: Study: NHL Lockout a Bad Omen for Canada's CBC Network
"Trying to set up something for this week, but nothing finalized yet," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told NHL.com on Monday.
The NHL and the NHL Players Association have not met to negotiate a new collective agreement since three days of talks last week ended on Thursday.
The league insists the talks broke off due to an "impasse," even as press reports last week indicated progress has been made and that the outlines of a new deal are close at hand.
Resuming NHL play at the earliest on New Year's Eve would mean the league could offer fans in arenas and at home at most a shortened 48-game season this year.

text: Compliance Trade Groups Request More Guidance on In-Plan Roth Conversions October 28, 2010 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – The Investment Company Institute (ICI) and the American Benefits Council (ABC) have requested immediate guidance on section 2112 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 which allows conversions of assets in defined contribution plans into Roth accounts within the plans. By Rebecca Moore firstname.lastname@example.com | October 28, 2010 In a letter to The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service, the ABC said since the provision was effective upon enactment, "it has resulted in an immediate and urgent need for guidance necessary to implement this provision." Both the ICI and ABC pointed out that participants are eager to transact conversions during 2010 because they are allowed to defer taxation until 2011 and 2012. ICI said the most pressing issues are withholding, 1099-R reporting, recharacterization, the steps needed to complete an in-plan Roth conversion, plan amendment requirements, application of the five-year waiting period, and loans. Specifically, the groups ask the IRS to clarify whether an in-plan Roth conversion is subject to the mandatory 20% federal tax withholding or whether, since it is similar to an eligible rollover distribution, no withholding is required. They also ask for clarification on whether 1099-R reporting is required and how to code the distribution on the 1099-R. ICI recommended in its letter that because of the short amount of time providers have to make programming changes, the distributions should be coded the same as for direct Roth rollovers (Code G). ICI also recommended that a plan should be able to complete an in-plan Roth conversion in a manner that will not result in the actual liquidation and reinvestment of the converted amount, as long as the plan's records reflect the in-plan conversion. Also, due to the shortage of time, the groups asked that a remedial plan amendment period be provided in which to amend plans to permit Roth accounts and conversions. The ABC asked the IRS to confirm that outstanding loans of any participant may be converted even if the loan has been deemed distributed. Currently, Roth contributions to a plan are subject to a five-year holding period before they can be considered for qualified distributions made after age 59 ½, death or disability, or for a first-time home purchase. There is also a five-year period for determining whether the special early distribution tax rule applies. The groups asked for clarification on whether contributions into a Roth account and conversions into the account need to be tracked separately for purposes of these five year rules. The ICI letter is here. The ABC letter is here. Others have warned plan sponsors about the challenges of and still unanswered questions about in-plan Roth conversions (see In-Plan Roth Conversions Present Challenges and SPARK Institute Urges Caution on In-Plan Roths).
