Michigan Bets The State Pension Fund On Hollywood Success, Ends Up Stuck With The Tab
from the you-can-only-take-my-money-for-so-long,-before-you-take-it-all! dept
We've written before about cities and states luring Hollywood studios with multimillion dollar subsidies in the hopes of giving their local economies a bit of a bump. In nearly every case, this has been a money loser for the locale involved. A 2010 Tax Foundation study found that most states were lucky to see $0.20 in revenue from every dollar handed out. And yet, this surefire money loser remains incredibly popular.
The latest case of self-victimization belongs to the state of Michigan, which lured the production of "Oz The Great and Powerful" to the state with a $40 million subsidy.
Michigan has 4.5 million individual taxpayers, and the state gave the film studio $39.7 million to shoot the movie in Pontiac. That works out to a subsidy of $8.82 per taxpayer while average ticket prices nationwide are $7.96.As the article points out, the studio basically received paid admission from every taxpayer in the state. But that $40 million was apparently just a "good start," because the state soon found the studio knocking at its door again, cap in hand.
The subsidy was granted in 2010 when the program refunded up to 42 percent of Michigan expenses to film makers — essentially a check from the treasury to Hollywood studios. The program expired, but the Legislature, dominated by Republicans, overwhelmingly decided to keep it around.
As part of the financing process, the filmmakers wanted to borrow about about $18 million in municipal bonds. In order order to do that, they needed a backer. So the state stepped in, and agreed to use its state worker pension funds as a guarantee. "If the investors failed to pay," the New York Times reported in a piece on the deal last December, "the retirees would be on the hook."One would expect a Disney-backed venture to be able to scrounge up payments on an $18 million loan simply by digging around in the couch cushions. But one would be mistaken.
Michigan Motion Pictures Studios, which is being celebrated in the local media for having made the movie, "Oz The Great and Powerful," in Pontiac, has missed its last three payments on $18 million in bond obligations...This isn't good news for the state's pension fund, which is already underfunded by several billion dollars. It's pretty much guaranteed that the state will never recover the entire $58 million given to Michigan Motion Pictures Studio, either in the form of added revenue or even loan payments, for that matter. And Michigan should know better. According to the study mentioned in the first paragraph, Michigan's return-on-investment sits at $0.11 per subsidy dollar.
According to state officials, the state retirement system has made three payments since February of last year totaling $1.68 million.
But Michigan Motion Picture Studios (formerly Raleigh Studios) can explain. You see, it was doing just fine... until the state decided to cut its allowance.
In March 2012, Raleigh Studio's then-chief financial officer Steve Lemberg blamed the studio's financial struggles on the film tax credit being reduced.There's something inherently flawed with a business model that relies heavily on being handed free money in exchange for the vague promise that a small percentage of it will be pumped back into the local economy. But I suppose it could be worse. Much, much worse.
The state reduced the tax credit from $100 million when the studio was being built in 2011 to $50 million last year. Gov. Rick Snyder has $25 million budgeted for tax credits this year.
The city of Allen Park recently requested an emergency manager after losing what will turn out to be tens of millions of dollars on a failed movie studio project that promised to create 3,000 jobs. It created none and left the town nearly bankrupt.That's the sort of thing that happens when politicians get stars in their eyes and roll out a red carpet made of constituents' money. The best case scenario is still a money loser, as any economic effects are brief and underwhelming. The worst case scenario is taxpayers are on the hook to bail out their own pension funds or, in the case of Allen Park, their hometown.

MXO 'The Arts Unplugged': Remembering Sam Greenlee Through His Most Famous Book!
By Karen Grigsby Bates
Posted May 26th 2014
When it was published 45 years go, Sam Greenlee's novel The Spook Who Sat By the Door got a lot of media play. The book centered on a conspiracy theory — a popular trope of fiction at the time — not so surprising, as government-sanctioned spies had been surveying black activists for years, thanks to J Edgar Hoover's COINTELPRO program. But in this book, the conspirators were black, and bent on correcting a system they saw as racist and corrupt
Greenlee died on May 19, 2014 after a few years of declining health, and as word gets out, appreciations are rolling in — for Greenlee's astute, sometimes acerbic personality, for his love of community (both for his Chicago home town and black America in general), and for writing a book that became a favorite at a turbulent, uncertain time.
Part thriller, part satire and part social commentary, The Spook Who Sat By The Door begins when Gil Hennington, a powerful US Senator, decides the black vote is his answer to winning a tight election. To boost the flagging interest of his black constituents, Herrington needs a race issue. Most of the big ones had been done already, so he decides to point out that the CIA is completely lacking in black agents.
The Racial Equivalent Of A Double-Entendre
Hennington himself has a token black staff member, Carter Summerfield, who is ordered to find a black man suitable to pioneer as the Agency's first black spook.
The book's title is the racial equivalent of a double-entendre: "spook" is a slang street term some black folks used among themselves decades ago. Today it's used ironically, if it's used at all. But in the world of espionage, "spook" is also slang for spy, perhaps an allusion to a field agent's ghostly presence. Greenlee was being sardonic when he created a character that was a spook twice over.
In writing Spook, Greenlee drew on his own background. He had a career in the US Foreign Service, and was posted to trouble spots like Pakistan, Greece and Iraq from the 1950s through the mid-'60s.
" When Spook became an independent film in 1973, Greenlee had to make it next door in Indiana — the themes of racial strife he planned to film did not please then-mayor Richard Daley.
We don't know what Greenlee's experience was, but we can guess: his protagonist, agent Dan Freeman, takes all the insults and injuries that usually accompany integrating an organization with no interest in being integrated. He consistently outperformed his white peers, and after five years, he quit. Then he took his Agency expertise underground to form a private black militia. Many of his troops were made of society's unreclaimables — gang members, criminals and high school troublemakers whose street smarts would be useful in the war he was planning to wage.
The book's breathless back cover was enough to intrigue black readers and raise goose bumps on the arms of white ones:
"Your city is in the sight of a weapon so powerful you can't escape its best, a weapon loaded with 300 years' worth of hate (and) hostile neglect," the publisher's synopsis begins.
"The weapon—a united Black America. This is the story of what could happen when the weapon strikes—it could happen before you finish the book!"
Readers brave or curious enough to dive in after that discovered a tale of purposeful deception, where the mildest "professional Negroes" — grudgingly given access to previously all-white venues — are actually the architects of a civil rebellion that will make Nat Turner's 1831 rebellion look like a frat party.
Greenlee spends a lot of the book's time using Freeman to probe the double-consciousness W.E.B. DuBois outlined so elegantly. The rest of it he uses to tartly satirize liberal whites and what Freeman labeled "professional Negroes" — the race consultants whites hired when they needed black insight.
Early on in Spook, Senator Hennington's Negro consultant, Carter Summerfield was worried about his inability to please his boss:
Summerfield had sought desperately to discover what it was the senator wanted to hear in order that he might say it, and was amazed to find that the senator seemed annoyed when his own comments were returned, only slightly paraphrased. In all his career as a professional Negro, Summerfield had never before encountered a white liberal who actually wanted an original opinion from a Negro concerning civil rights, for they all considered themselves experts on the subject. Summerfield found it impossible to believe Senator Hennington any different from the others.
The book was like Greenlee: tough, smart and no-nonsense. When Spook became an independent film in 1973, Greenlee had to make it next door in Indiana — the themes of racial strife he planned to film did not please then-mayor Richard Daley. Despite a lack of permits, Greenlee and his colleagues managed to shoot a few covert scenes for the film in Chicago, where the book takes place. (He told one interviewer he and his crew paid for their tickets and went through the turnstile of the El. "We just came in with a hand-held camera and shot it," he said, simply.)
A Film's Mysterious Disappearance
Then, very shortly after the film finally opened in theaters around the country, it disappeared. A documentary on the making of the movie, Infiltrating Hollywood: The Rise and Fall of the Spook Who Sat by the Door, examines the film's fate:
Greenlee, with typical bluntness, said in a 2012 Chicago radio interview there was no way he could write Spook today if he was asked to. "The idea that street gangs that are now dope-dealing thugs would start a revolution is a historical absurdity," he scoffed. "Now when I wrote [Spook], the gangs had political consciousness."
He was older and more frail, but still fierce, right to the end.
Sam Greenlee died in his beloved Chicago on Monday night, of natural causes. He was 83 years old. Chicago's DuSable Museum, a premier black history museum that was one of Greenlee's favorite places, will hold a memorial ceremony for him on June 6.

Early Years
Powhatan had many wives, and custom decreed that he keep a wife only until she had a child by him, after which he sent her back to her people and supported her from a distance. As a result, Pocahontas had no full siblings and many half siblings. When each child was ready to leave home and become part of a working household—probably at eight to ten years of age—he or she moved to Powhatan's capital, freeing the mother to remarry.
Late in her childhood, Pocahontas likely joined Powhatan's large, busy household, where everybody worked, even Powhatan himself. In addition to their daily jobs, members of the household labored to produce grand feasts on important occasions. Pocahontas, meanwhile, probably participated in what was traditionally women's work—farming, collecting wild foods and firewood, making utensils, and cooking and cleaning—and as a result had little contact with her father or other males during the day. In the evenings, she probably had stiff competition for her father's attention; still, by 1607 she was his favorite child. Her new name may suggest why. William Strachey, who lived at Jamestown from 1610 until 1611, translated "Pocahontas" as "little wanton." In Strachey's time, "wanton" meant not only bawdy but also cruel and undisciplined. In other words, it's possible that Pocahontas may have teased Powhatan about his age (then about sixty) and his multitude of wives, and he may have been delighted by it.
John Smith
In the spring of 1608, Pocahontas traveled to Jamestown as part of a delegation charged with negotiating the release of several Indian captives. Sent as a silent reminder of Powhatan's trust in Smith, she was accompanied by several fully armed adult men, one of whom, Rawhunt, did all the talking. The captives were released—although to Pocahontas rather than Rawhunt, presumably because she served as a symbol of Powhatan. In his 1624 account, Smith hints that Pocahontas, acting as a diplomat, led the party, but earlier eyewitness accounts say no such thing. Even the daughter of a powerful chief like Powhatan would have left military and diplomatic matters to her male relatives. This was especially true for Pocahontas, who had not only uncles but also two older half brothers serving Powhatan as appointed district chiefs.
With his later accounts suggesting that Pocahontas saved him personally as well as (in some accounts) the entire Jamestown colony, Smith had a tendency to attribute to Powhatan's daughter power she was unlikely to have possessed. That tradition continues in the frequent modern-day references to her as a "princess." Pocahontas lived in a society in which the paramount chief's position was matrilineal. In other words, Powhatan's brothers, sisters, and his sisters' children were his heirs, not his own children. As such, Pocahontas was not a princess in the European sense, and next to her favored half brothers, she was relatively powerless, either to gain entry to that first feast with John Smith or later to act on behalf of the English. On most occasions when she visited Jamestown, she probably tagged along with adults, as did other young people eager to gawk at the foreigners. Smith later described Pocahontas's "wild train," or mischievous retinue, while Strachey described her goading the English boys into turning cartwheels with her around the fort.
From the autumn of 1608 onward, relations between the Jamestown colony and Powhatan became more strained, culminating in the First Anglo-Powhatan War. Powhatan moved his capital west to Orapax, on the Chickahominy River, and out of the reach of English ships. Smith departed Virginia in October 1609, and a story of Pocahontas traveling to Jamestown to ask after him is unlikely to be true; she would have been in danger of being taken as a hostage. Instead, she probably learned about Smith's departure through her father's intelligence channels.
Marriage, Capture, and Remarriage
During this time, the English began to expand their settlements beyond the Jamestown fort, including at Henricus, established on the James River in September 1611. Slowed but not stopped by Indian guerrilla attacks, the English by 1613 were sending ships to trade with the Potomac River tribes who were beginning to act beyond the control of Tsenacomoco. In April 1613, Captain Samuel Argall heard that Pocahontas was visiting Passapatanzy, a satellite town of the Patawomecks, one of his trading partners. Argall pressured the subchief, Iopassus (Japazaws), to assist him in taking her prisoner, promising an alliance against Powhatan. After conferring with his superior, Iopassus agreed, and with his wives' help, lured Pocahontas aboard Argall's ship. Argall promptly transported her to Jamestown and sent a ransom demand to her father.
Powhatan made an initial payment and then dithered for several months, during which Pocahontas remained at the English fort. According to English accounts she was treated well, although in a book published in 2007, Linwood "Little Bear" Custalow cites Powhatan oral tradition to argue that Pocahontas was raped while in the colonists' custody. Other historians have disputed that such oral tradition survived and instead argue that any mistreatment of Pocahontas would have gone against the interests of the English in their negotiations with Powhatan. A truce had been called, the Indians still far outnumbered the English, and the colonists feared retaliation.
In any event, Deputy Governor Sir Thomas Dale, with the help of Alexander Whitaker, the minister at Jamestown and Henricus, saw to it that she was trained in the ways of the Anglican Church. She was baptized and given the Christian name Rebecca, at which time she also revealed her secret name, Matoaka. By the time the English forced the issue of ransom payment in March 1614, she and John Rolfe apparently had fallen in love. A twenty-eight-year-old widower from a family in the English gentry, Rolfe had come to Virginia, with Dale and Strachey, in 1610 and over a dozen years made his fortune in tobacco. Dale assented to their marriage—as did Powhatan, who sent one of Pocahontas's uncles as a witness—and on or about April 5, 1614, either Whitaker or Richard Bucke likely performed it.
After landing in Plymouth in September 1616, the party traveled overland to London, so Pocahontas saw a good deal of southern England. Once in London, she was lodged and clothed at the Virginia Company's expense and an engraving was made of her by Simon van de Passe that was intended for circulation by the company in its fund-raising efforts. Pocahontas also was introduced into English society, presumably by the lieutenant governor and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Dale, a distant cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth. The wife of Virginia's governor, Thomas West, baron De La Warr, may also have helped sponsor Pocahontas. While John Smith later claimed that he could have presented the young woman to the English aristocracy, he never had anything like the social clout of either the Dales or the De La Warrs.
Even John Smith took little trouble to pay his respects to his former friend. Living in London himself, he waited several months before calling on her; in his 1624 account, he claimed that he had been too busy. When he finally made his appearance, Pocahontas was so angry with him that she retired to another room to regain her composure. Their conversation, once it began, soon degenerated into her flinging taunts at him about his shabby treatment of her father. Smith ended his account of the visit with her telling him that "your countrymen will lie much [often]."
If Smith was an accurate reporter—he wrote about the conversation seven years after it happened—then Pocahontas may have been experiencing some disillusionment with her husband's people. By the time Smith came around, she and her family had moved to Brentford, then a small village outside London. Later writers have claimed that her health was failing in the capital's smoky environs, although this is unlikely given the fact that Pocahontas had grown up in smoky Indian houses. It is more probable that her novelty among the upper classes had faded, and, absent rich sponsors, the Virginia Company was forced to transfer her to cheaper accommodations. Indirect evidence also suggests that she was in good health at that time. Though they were already planning to return to Virginia, a week before they departed the Rolfes were awarded a large grant by the Virginia Company to start a mission. As part of such an enterprise, Pocahontas would have been expected to serve the dual roles of interpreter and housemother, which would have been a strenuous assignment for someone who was ill or dying.
After a two-month delay because of bad weather, the Rolfes and Uttamatomakkin embarked for Virginia in March 1617. Pocahontas was rumored to have regrets about leaving London, but that may have been wishful thinking on the part of some Englishmen. In the end, though, she took ill. Pocahontas, then about twenty-one years old, was taken ashore at Gravesend, down the Thames River from London, where she died. On March 21, she was interred under the chancel of St. George's Church in Gravesend, a burial place indicating that she was considered a lady. Her son, Thomas, too sick himself to travel, remained in England. (He finally sailed for Virginia in 1635, but it was thirteen years after his father's death.) Uttamatomakkin, meanwhile, returned to Virginia with John Rolfe and Samuel Argall and reported to Powhatan's brother, Opechancanough, in such negative terms about his experience that the English attempted to discredit him. The ships that carried Argall, Rolfe, and Uttamatomakkin back to Virginia also brought to the colony an epidemic of hemorrhagic dysentery which colonists called bloody flux and which Argall referred to as "a great mortality"; this epidemic may have been the cause of Pocahontas's death.
Because of her celebrity, Virginians have long sought to connect themselves with
Pocahontas. After St. George's Church burned in 1727, her bones and those of all
the other people buried under the church floor were reinterred in a mass grave in
the churchyard. Attempts made in the 1920s to identify her bones were
unsuccessful. However, many Virginians have claimed descent from Pocahontas. The
Racial Integrity Act, passed by the General Assembly in 1924, allowed the state to
assign all newborns to racial categories and disallowed the mixing of those
categories, especially in marriage. But one exception was made: "persons who have
one-sixteenth or less of the blood of the American Indian and have no other
non-Caucasic blood shall be deemed to be white persons."
Such connections, though, have always been tenuous at best. Pocahontas's son, Thomas Rolfe, never joined the Virginia colony's elite upon his return in 1635. He died in 1681, place unknown, and left behind an unknown number of children, if any. Virginia kept no consistent records of births, marriages, and deaths before 1853, and no part of a Thomas Rolfe–descended genealogy was written down until the 1820s—in other words, exactly when the Pocahontas myth was beginning to be constructed. Who is and is not actually descended from Pocahontas thus remains both cloudy and controversial.

December 1607 - Late in the month, John Smith is brought before Powhatan, the paramount chief of Tsenacomoco. He later tells of his life being saved by Pocahontas; in fact, Powhatan likely puts Smith through a mock execution in order to adopt him as a weroance, or chief.
Spring 1608 - Pocahontas travels to Jamestown as part of a delegation charged with negotiating the release of several Indian captives. The captives are released to Pocahontas, although an adult male Indian, Rawhunt, performs the actual negotiation.
October 1609 - John Smith leaves Virginia. The Jamestown colony's new leadership is less competent, and the Starving Time follows that winter.
1610 - Sometime this year, Pocahontas begins to menstruate, making her eligible to marry. Soon after, she weds an Indian warrior named Kocoum.
December 1610 - Samuel Argall is dispatched by the Virginia authorities to the Potomac River to procure maize and furs there from Iopassus (Japazaws), the weroance of Passapatanzy, a Patawomeck town.
September 1611 - Sir Thomas Dale marches against Indians farther up the James River from Jamestown and establishes a settlement on a bluff that he calls the City of Henrico, or Henricus, in honor of his patron Prince Henry.
April 1613 - Powhatan's favorite daughter, Pocahontas, is captured and held hostage by the English, bringing a truce in the First Anglo-Powhatan War. The fight goes out of Powhatan, and during his apathy over the next year, his daughter is converted by the English.
April 1613 - Samuel Argall uses his extensive knowledge of the Potomac River–northern Chesapeake area and its Indian population to kidnap Pocahontas while she is with the Patawomeck—an event that ultimately helps to bring the devastating First Anglo-Powhatan War to a conclusion in 1614.
April 5, 1614 - On or about this day, Pocahontas and John Rolfe marry in a ceremony assented to by Sir Thomas Dale and Powhatan, who sends one of her uncles to witness the ceremony. Powhatan also rescinds a standing order to attack the English wherever and whenever possible, ending the First Anglo-Powhatan War.
1615 - Ralph Hamor meets Powhatan at his residence in Matchcot in an attempt to arrange a marriage between a younger sister of Pocahontas and Deputy Governor Sir Thomas Dale. Powhatan expresses contempt for Dale and says a single marriage between his people and the English is sufficient guarantee of alliance.
1615–1617 - Sometime during this time, either in Virginia or in England, Thomas Rolfe is born to Rebecca (née Pocahontas) and John Rolfe.
Spring 1616 - The Virginia Company of London sponsors a voyage to England. Led by Sir Thomas Dale, other passengers include Pocahontas, her husband John Rolfe, their son Thomas, a retinue of young Indian women (some of whom will remain in England), and the priest Uttamatomakkin, a brother-in-law of Pocahontas's father Powhatan. Samuel Argall commands the ship.
September 1616 - Pocahontas and her traveling party land in Plymouth, England, and then travel overland to London. Their goal is to raise funds on behalf of the Virginia Company of London.
January 6, 1617 - Pocahontas, accompanied by the priest Uttamatomakkin, attends King James I's Twelfth Night masque, a formal costume ball held every year on the last night of the Christmas season. The two are "well placed" by the king and view The Vision of Delight by Ben Jonson, performed during the ball.
March 1617 - After two months of delay due to bad weather, Pocahontas, her husband John Rolfe, Uttamatomakkin, and the rest of their traveling party embark from England on the Virginia-bound George. Pocahontas soon takes ill, however, and is taken ashore at Gravesend, where she dies.
March 21, 1617 - Pocahontas is interred under the chancel of St. George's Church in Gravesend, England.
1624 - John Smith's The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Isles, which emphasizes treacherous natives, a heroic Smith, and the one "good" Indian, "Princess Pocahontas," is published. Historians have since questioned its reliability.
1635 - After remaining in England upon the death of his mother, Pocahontas, Thomas Rolfe sails for Virginia.
1727 - St. George's Church in Gravesend, England, burns and the bones of Pocahontas are reinterred in a mass grave in the churchyard.
1920s - Attempts to identify Pocahontas's bones from a mass grave at Gravesend, England, are unsuccessful.
March 20, 1924 - Governor E. Lee Trinkle signs "An act to Preserve Racial Integrity," a law aimed at protecting whiteness on the state level. It prohibits interracial marriage, defines a white person as someone who has no discernible non-white ancestry, and requires that birth and marriage certificates indicate people's races.

There is no place we'd rather live than Houston. The folks are friendly, the jobs are plentiful and flip-flop weather lasts almost year-round. Still, there's nothing wrong with asking for sprinkles to go with the icing already on our civic cake. We asked readers on Twitter to tell us what they think Houston still needs using the hashtag #WhatHoustonNeeds.
Here are some of their suggestions.

This charmingly candid photograph shows the chiles en nogada that I made for a backyard pot-luck last month. Chiles en nogada are in essence peppers stuffed with pork and fruit, covered in a walnut cream sauce and pomegranate seeds. The recipe is said to be almost 200 years old, comes from an area just southeast of Mexico City called Puebla, and is traditionally served around Mexican Independance Day, in a tribute to the red, white and green of the flag. The particular occasion for us was a luncheon wishing some Parisien friends au revoir, but as it was the weekend before Mexican Independence Day and the party's hosts were Mexican, I decided to give this dish a go, thousands of kilometres from its natural home.
The distance matters: the chiles of chiles en nogada are meant to be poblano peppers, and these are impossible to find in the UK, at least out here in not-London. So I substituted grilled and peeled green bell peppers instead, and incorporated a few small diced green chilies into the filling to try to recreate the slightly picante flavour of the poblano, if not the shape. The filling is a saute of diced cooked pork, onion, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, almonds, apple, and diced dried apricot (again, faking the candied innards of a cactus that I couldn't find locally). The walnut sauce is not a bechamel, but a no-cook mixture of creme fraiche, quark, sour cream and sugar (a crazy combination to mimic the proper queso fresca), ground walnuts, and (gluten-free) bread crumbs. Pomegranate and cilantro to finish, for the patriotic flourish.
So my Mexican friends very graciously ate this version of chiles en nogada, which was more improvised than authentic, and proclaimed it accurate. ¡Such good manners! For a study in contrasts, behold the bowl of mole sauce in the upper left corner of the photo: it's makings were transported by suitcase to the UK from a market in Mexico City. Now that's impressive dedication to the real thing.

Blues pair frustrate Pulis
Tony Pulis branded Branislav Ivanovic and Oscar "laughable" after accusing the Chelsea pair of diving in Stoke's Barclays Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Potters boss Pulis was fuming with the Blues stars, despite their failure to win penalties and the fact Oscar was booked by referee Michael Oliver. Ivanovic, though, escaped a caution after throwing himself down in the box in the first half when he appeared not to be touched.
Highlighting what he dubbed "the simulation", Pulis said: "Ivanovic's one in the first half is laughable and the lad Oscar, who's a fabulous player. This is England. We're playing in England, we're not playing in Europe.
He added: "And we can't watch people just fall over and not talk about it. That's the disappointing thing. We should highlight it and keep highlighting it and keep highlighting it.
"There are certain players in the Premier League who have got a reputation and referees know that if you touch them then they'll fall down or go down as quickly as they can.
"The people that do it, just keep highlighting it, keep showing it, because it's a part of the game that I don't think we should stomach and we don't talk about enough."
Pulis also insisted Chelsea should have ended their 1-0 victory with 10 men after David Luiz was shown a yellow - and not a red - card for a crude lunge on Jonathan Walters.
Pulis said of the Luiz lunge: "It's a dreadful challenge and I think David would be the first one to say he's very, very lucky to stay on the pitch - very."
Chelsea looked set for a fourth straight match without a win before Ashley Cole spared the blushes of their £130million attack with his first goal since May 2010.
Boss Roberto Di Matteo said: "I thought it was just a question of time before we scored. Obviously, when it comes towards the last 20 minutes, time is running out. But when you play against Stoke, it's always so hard to break them down and they defend with so many men and they're very well-drilled as well."

Urban Meyer was unable to lead the Buckeyes to an Orange Bowl win last night, falling 40-35 in an error-prone game that proved to be the first bowl loss for Meyer since the 2007 season. It's also a consecutive loss for the Urbz, something he'd only experienced three times previously in his career.
After last year's undefeated-but-bowl-ineligible performance, Ohio State fans have to be disappointed. So, too, Urban Meyer. What is this Wicked Game?

Tech Police Chief Retires After 40 Years In Law EnforcementSOCORRO, N.M. October 27, 2011 – Billy Romero, 62, director of Campus Police at New Mexico Tech, is hanging up his badge for the final time Monday, ending a law enforcement career that spanned four decades.
| Campus Police Chief Billy Romero
"I'm ready to do some serious fishing, and to spend more time with my family," Romero said at the retirement party in his honor Wednesday, Oct. 26. That family includes his wife of 18 years, Patricia, the school nurse at Sarracino Middle School; four daughters, 16 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
The career officer was given a watch commemorating his years of service with the university – along with high accolades and best wishes.
"I've been in law enforcement for 40 years, and this is the best place I've ever worked," Romero said. "New Mexico Tech has the best people, and I'll miss them." Lonnie Marquez, Tech vice president for administration and finance, said he had a great deal of respect for Romero, as exemplified by an incident that took place several years ago.
At that time, Romero responded to a report of an out-of-control student on the Golf Course using a golf club to hammer on an electric cart.
When the officer tried to defuse the situation, the student turned on Romero and slugged him before being subdued.
The student was scheduled to graduate from Tech the following day, and Romero opted not to press charges so that the young man could begin his post-collegiate life with a clean slate.
"That's the kind of man he is," said Marquez.
Romero officially steps down as Director of Campus Police on Oct. 31 after four years in the post. He was named Associate Director of Campus Police in 2003, and served as an officer under longtime Director Tom Zimmerman for 10 years, from 1990 to 2000, with a three-year stint as a detective with the Socorro Police Department sandwiched in between.
His career began with the city police in 1972, the year he completed training at the New Mexico Police Academy. Ten years later he joined the Socorro County Sheriff's Office as second in command to Ray Spurgin; two years later, Romero won the elective position outright, and remained with the department until he joined the University's law enforcement ranks.
Shortly after taking office in January 1987, Romero agreed to an "In Focus" interview with El Defensor Chieftain. The reporter noted that the brass-plated sign over the Sheriff's Department door still read: "Ray Spurgin, Sheriff – Billy Romero, Undersheriff," and she questioned him about it.
He laughed. "I'm waiting for the budget for a new one," said the new sheriff in town.
In an era when some law enforcement personnel in New Mexico are under public scrutiny for misdeeds ranging from theft to murder to misuse of their authority, Romero stands out as a good cop among good cops.
He is the consummate professional, but retains an easy-going demeanor that has endeared him to many in the Socorro community.
In 1987, Romero was nominated for New Mexico "Officer of the Year" by then-Chief Santiago "Jim" Naranjo of the Socorro Police Department.
The nomination noted Romero's involvement with people and a perfect attendance record. "He is an asset to this department and to this community in general," Naranjo said.
As voiced at his retirement party, "Everyone loves Billy – he is the next-door neighbor everyone wishes they had, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need."
Forty years is a long time to spend in any single career; and, those who do, are apt to see a lot of change over time.
Law enforcement is no different.
In the wake of the killings at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, colleges and universities nationwide developed detailed plans on how to handle a similar crisis in their own communities.
Romero was a part of that effort at New Mexico Tech, and served as a liaison between Tech and local and state law enforcement agencies as part of the
Emergency Response Team.
At the time, his older brother, Lawrence Romero, was the Socorro Police Chief.
The younger Romero was only 15 when his father died, and Lawrence, seven years older and already a career law enforcement officer, took on the role of father figure for Billy, who sometimes joined Lawrence on patrols.
It was hardly a coincidence when Billy eventually settled on a similar career, following a stint with Uncle Sam in Ft. Ord, Calif., and several food service jobs.
It's a career he has followed over four decades, always looking to improve every office he worked for.
Romero said he is leaving the Campus Police Department in good hands, and is proud of the accomplishments implemented over the past four years, thanks to support from Tech President Dr. Daniel H. López, Marquez and the many division directors he came in contact with daily.
"But it's time for a change," he said Wednesday. Time to slap on his new watch and watch the river flow.
He's earned it.

'Wings of Freedom Tour' is Coming to Tyler This Weekend
If you're looking for something cool to do with the kids before they head back to school next week - here is a cool event that is educational as well! The 'Wings of Freedom Tour' is coming to Tyler's Pounds Field Airport this weekend. The event is hosted by the Historic Aviation Memorial Museum. Several vintage aircraft will be on display including the P-51 Mustang (Betty Jane), the B-17 Flying Fortress (Nine-O-Nine), and the B-24 Liberator (Witchcraft). Making its debut in Tyler will be the Messerschmitt Me-262 (White 1) accompanied by the UH-1E Huey helicopter.
This event is handled by the Collings Foundation. Tours will be $15 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. You will be able to tour the B17, B24, and P51 bombers.
In addition, you can purchase rides on the aircraft! I got to ride in a B52 bomber a few years ago and it's one of the coolest things I have ever done! I'm talking a "bucket list" type of experience. During this event, rides can be purchased on the B17 and B24 for $425 and on the P51 for $2,200 for a 1/2 hour ride and $3,200 for one hour!
In addition, several former Air Force Veterans who flew these planes in combat will be on hand to share their stories. This is something really cool and educational for the kids - including big kids like myself!
Tour hours will be:
-Friday, March 15 from 2pm-5pm
-Saturday and Sunday, March 16 & 17 from 9am-5pm
You can pre-book your flight through The Collings Foundation at 800-568-8924.
