Netgear Rangemax Wireless-N (WN311T) on FreeBSD [solved]
I originally posted this on the PC-BSD forum. I haven't had much luck getting replies. I thought I'd post this here also. What follows is a summary of everything I tried:
I got a Netgear RangeMax Next Wireless-N PCI Adapter (WN311T). I plugged it in, and PC-BSD was unable to find it. So I figured I'd do an lspci:
tardis# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P/E7210 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P Processor to AGP Controller (rev 02) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P/E7210 Processor to PCI to CSA Bridge (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev c2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV31 [GeForce FX 5600] (rev a1) 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (LOM) 03:01.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.

I cd'd to the directory and ran ndisgen. It complained of a syntax error in line 995. I opened up the .inf file in vi and noticed that there wasn't a ^M (CRLF on DOS/Win systems) on the last line. I removed all ^M with a substitution command (:%s/[CTRL+V][CTRL+M]//g (actually press the ctrl+v and ctrl+m)). I ran ndisgen and this time it was able to parse the file. However, when it tried to build the driver, I got the following error:
./windrv.h:147:4: unknown escape sequence '\p' ./windrv.h:147:4: unknown escape sequence '\H' ./windrv.h:312:4: unknown escape sequence '\p' ./windrv.h:312:4: unknown escape sequence '\H'
At this point, I noticed that there were .sys files. I wasn't sure which one to use, so I compiled modules for both. I kldloaded netmw145_sys.ko first, and the device showed up under Network Control. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any networks (I was able to with the D-Link, but unable to connect to the WPA protected network even after using wpa_supplicant). I kldunloaded the module and tried netmw143_sys.ko. This time I wasn't able to see ANY device. Fine. So I kldloaded BOTH of them. This time, I was able to see the device, but still unable to see any networks.
So that's where I stand right now. Any help in resolving this matter will be appreciated. Should I try to use the Marvell driver for this? Any other things I can try?
I checked out this page and it says that the driver is supposed to work (but makes no mention of the two sys files - I tried out the latest drivers on Netgear's site that the page links to. Same problem, although this time, both sys files loaded on their own will cause the card to be shown in the list of devices). I have another one of these cards running fine on a WinXP system. I will swap the card to see if it's a hardware problem. Oh yeah, and the light shows up on the card and it flashes while it tries to search for Wireless networks. But it doesn't find any.
I swapped out the cards with the XP machine. The new card I bought works fine, so I know it's not a hardware problem (the antenna also works fine). I'm going to keep researching this issue, but if anyone knows of anything else I can try, please do help.
I'm trying to use wpa_supplicant. I've set up /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and I am running
wpa_supplicant -i ndis0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCG80211, op 24, len 24576]: No space left on device
Ok, so I fixed it! (I hope it stays that way!) I really didn't do anything different. All I did was unload and then reload the modules after I ran wpa_supplicant.
network={ ssid="myssid" psk="mypsk" }
Ok, so another thing. I reinstalled by system and was unable to get it to work using my own instructions. *sigh*. But I found out the problem. Make sure you have this in your rc.conf:
if_ndis0="WPA DHCP" wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant forcestart ndis0 /sbin/dhclient ndis0
Remember that there are two wpa_supplicant. Once is the binary, and the other is the startup script. For some reason, using the script works! I don't get the ioctl errors.

Witty and modern, these latest editions from Projects Watches continue the brand's reputation of making affordable accessories with high design pedigrees. Since 1992, the Michael Graves-founded outfit has been producing timepieces by the likes of Richard Meier, Maya Lin and Cesar Pelli.
The Twilight watch, which illustrates the fading light cycle every 20 seconds, comes courtesy of web typography guru Daniel Will-Harris. Using two discs that rotate with the seconds, it's a thoughtful and elegantly executed reminder of time's relentless pursuit.
A more whimsical take on the passing minutes, Lauridna Spear's Chroma watch features colors that change every second with other hues that evolve more slowly.
Similarly, the Iridium watch cleverly uses color and a rotating dial for a novel way to tell time. Consisting of cut out numbers on a dial, hours read blue, minutes are red and on the hour, the numbers turn purple.
Iridium, Chroma and Twilight are $119 each and available here-->Projects Product Page

Facebook's stock plunged to an all-time low Thursday after the expiration of a lock-up period that has provided some early investors and insiders with an opportunity to exit.
Firms ranging from Accel Partners to Goldman Sachs, Zynga CEO Mark Pincus and Facebook board members James Breyer, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman are among those free to sell stock they own. Microsoft Corp., an early Facebook investor, is another one, though it's unlikely to sell because of partnerships it has with social-networking leader.
It's not yet known whether anyone had sold shares. The stock price decline could reflect investors' anticipation of such a move. It's conceivable no one would sell those extra shares, but if too many do, Facebook's stock could decline because the market would be flooded with additional shares.
Facebook Inc.'s stock traded as low as $19.69 before bouncing back to $19.99 in Thursday morning trading. That's still nearly 6 percent down, or $1.21, from Wednesday's close and about 48 percent below its initial public offering price of $38. If the stock hits $19, it will have lost half its value since Facebook went public in May.
It's been a rough run for Facebook. After one of the most-anticipated IPOs in history, Facebook suffered what may be the most-botched public offering as trading glitches marred its first day. It's been almost all downhill for the Menlo Park., Calif., company since then.
Investors have been concerned about Facebook's ability to keep increasing revenue and make money from its growing mobile audience, even as many analysts hold positive long-term views.
Those eligible to sell additional shares Thursday were the investors and directors who had participated in the May IPO. The exception was CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who will be ineligible until November.
Other shareholders, including many Facebook employees, will be able to sell beginning in October. The last lockup period expires next May, a year after the IPO.
In all, up to 1.91 billion more shares could flood the stock market over the next several months — more than four times the 421 million shares that have been trading since Facebook's IPO. Of the 1.91 billion, 271 million shares became eligible for sale Thursday.

This summer, my wife and I and our three children – a four year old, a two year old, and a baby – are going on at least three different family trips. One will be to downstate Illinois, another will be to northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin, and the third will be to northern Minnesota. That doesn't include multiple graduations we're going to attend in May, either.
How are we going to do this while simultaneously keeping our sanity (yes, you try traveling for several hours in a vehicle with a four year old, a two year old, and an infant) and keeping our wallets in good shape? Here are seven methods we're using to provide great experiences for our family while also keeping our finances in mind.
Keep in mind why we're doing this
Why would we want to travel with a car full of small children? For some people, there may be no rational answer to this question at all. For us, though, there are several reasons.
First and foremost, we want the children to see different places and people. The geography where we live is very flat; this summer, they're going to visit some very hilly areas. There are no large lakes here, but this summer we're going to visit Lake Superior. We're also going to go to areas with at least some cultural differences from home. On top of that, we also want to spend a lot of time outside, as fresh air is one of the best things you can give a child or give yourself.
Those are the reasons we're traveling. Those reasons have nothing to do with seeing some mind-blowing sites or going to spectacular events. We know why we're doing this and we let those reasons lead the whole vacation. As long as we follow that lead, we don't need to pour money on other activities or sojourns.
Stay with family and friends
On each of these trips, either in the middle of a travel leg or near our destination, we'll be staying with family or with friends.
This provides both a social purpose (seeing people we care about) and a financial purpose (free lodging for a night or two). Usually, in exchange for this, we often will buy dinner when we're there (or prepare it). We also allow any family and friends who are in our area to stay at our home for free.
This is an exchange that does nothing but build relationships and help out everyone involved.
Camp out
At least once this summer (perhaps twice), we will be camping out for multiple days. Yes, with a baby. We did it with just one baby and we did it with both a toddler and a baby, so I don't think it'll be a problem doing it again with two young children and a baby.
In fact, there's one big advantage to camping: unless there's a storm, when everyone falls asleep, everyone sleeps really deeply. I actually tend to sleep better when we're camping because there are no night-time interruptions or other such things.
On top of that, camping can be incredibly inexpensive. We often request camping gear for gift-giving occasions, which makes camping nearly free. Usually, all we pay for is the spot to camp on – $10 to $20 a night unless we find a free option. Our supplies are usually inexpensive, too, especially if we collect or make our own while we're there. It provides exercise, tons of fresh air, and some wonderful time in the great outdoors with the people I care about most.
Plan for the road trips
Road trips can be a very expensive part of traveling (as can flying, but I'm just simply not going to attempt that with three children under five). Between the gas, the maintenance costs, and the expensive food and beverages along the way, it can really add up.
That's why I do some advance planning. The goal is to prevent stops, because stops are expensive.
First, I make sure there are plenty of beverages and snacks packed, probably more than we need. I usually pack sandwiches and vegetables and fruits so that we can have a full picnic meal on the road. I also prepare a big bag full of things to do for the children on the trip.
Second, we stop mostly at rest stops and everyone is required to go to the restroom when we stop. This reduces the temptation to spend money on overpriced stuff when we stop and it also reduces the overall number of stops. Another advantage is that many rest stops (particularly in Iowa) have areas for running around in the grass and picnicking, both of which happen on trips.
Use alternative housing
Hostels. College dorms. YMCA lodging. Housesitting. These are all great options for saving money on lodging when you arrive if you'd prefer not to camp. We are actually going to do some housesitting this summer for one of our trips.
Find out what types of alternative housing are available at your destination. This can be done with just a bit of effective internet searching. Reviews of the housing (available on many travel websites) can help you avoid unexpected problems.
Utilize free activities when we're there
Vacation doesn't have to be about jumping from high-priced activity to high-priced activity. Most of the best memories from the vacations I've taken in my life come from the free things we did: climbing a hillside in Edinburgh, putting my feet in the ocean northwest of Seattle, seeking out petroglyphs on foot in rural Arizona.
Yes, if there's something your heart is set on that you really want to see that costs money, do it. However, use travel guides that help you identify the free things in the area and use those to fill up your activity schedule. Spend some time doing simple things, like walking in the woods or resting on the beach or building a great campfire.
Be resourceful
Before you go, tell your social network where you're intending to go and ask if they have any tips or suggestions about traveling there. You might just be shocked at what your receive in return.
Be resourceful when you're there as well. Don't buy firewood if you can find it yourself. Don't buy campfire roasting sticks – use a knife and make them from branches. Don't buy beverages – carry an empty container and fill up at water fountains. Just by taking a few little steps to avoid buying things, you can save money left and right on your trip without reducing your enjoyment of it one iota.
Good luck!

My kid lost her first tooth a while back. The tooth was a stubborn little bastard, sitting there wiggling for weeks before finally breaking away from her gums and dangling there by a small thread of connective tissue. My kid refused to give the tooth one final yank to get it out, which drove me nuts. All I wanted to do was grab a pair of pliers and RIP the thing out, but I refrained, because I'm a way cool dad.
Anyway, once the tooth was out, my wife and I had to agree on how much money the tooth fairy would give my kid for the tooth. We went into the kitchen and had a vigorous whispering argument so that the kid wouldn't hear us haggling.
ME: She gets a dollar.
WIFE: Oh, we have to give her more than that.
ME: Why? I got a fucking quarter when I was a kid.
WIFE: You can't just give her a dollar. She should get something different each time.
ME: She's lucky to even get a dollar! We buy her crap all the time. WHERE DOES IT END, WOMAN?! WHERE DOES IT END?!
Turns out a dollar in today's tooth fairy market is considered downright frugal. Someone I know got roped into slipping a Transformer under their kid's pillow for EVERY tooth. Another person I know gave their kid FIVE bucks, which is insane. And we even heard about some kid at school who got a fresh twenty. Twenty bucks. For a fucking tooth. It doesn't even have roots. It looks like a grain of rice, for crying out loud. No curio shop is buying that shit.
So I wanted to make sure I wasn't out of line in demanding that the kid only get a buck. I checked this BabyCenter poll. Out of 28,337 voters, 51% gave their kid a buck. 35% gave their kid two dollars or more. And I would just like to say to those 35% of parents: SCREW YOU. You're ruining the curve for the rest of us. Now my kid is gonna take her silver dollar to school, and some other snobby kid is gonna wave a twenty in her face and make her cry. HAVE YOU NO DECENCY IN THIS ECONOMY?!
This CBS story noted that some parents pay more for the first tooth, with less money for subsequent teeth. Again, this is bullshit. You know what will happen when your kid gets five bucks for the first tooth and a buck for the rest? BITCH CITY. But wait, it gets worse:
"For the first tooth, the tooth fairy left a $25 Cranium game under the pillow," says Benita Gold of Benita Gold Public Relations. "For the second and third teeth I left a hard back book and then it dawned on me that he is going to lose 18 teeth and I may want to scale it down. I now leave $5 per tooth."
You've got some nerve, Benita Gold. Who can fit a Cranium box under a pillow? I'M NOT A MAGICIAN. You go to Hell. Then there's this lady:
With my elementary kids, they hang their tooth in a tree in the front yard and in the morning they find that the tooth fairy has left a toy under the tree for them. No money... just something to play with."
How in the hell do you hang a tooth from a tree? It's miniscule. It would take me nine hours to tie a thread around it. Why would you do that? This isn't Amish country.
Other moms give extra money for molars (WHY?!), and some go to the trouble of leaving a note, which I think is nuts. Your kid has 20 baby teeth. That's twenty hand-written notes, the equivalent of two decades worth of Christmas letters from Santa. No child deserves that kind of love and attention. The tooth fairy is meant to operate SILENTLY, like a Navy SEAL. They leave the cash under your pillow and then POOF! They're gone. The silence only adds to the sexy mystery.
I also checked Yelp on this issue, because Yelp people are guaranteed to be annoying. Many of them said five bucks. One mom said "We give $5, but have an only child," which I found hilarious. Well, we only have one kid. LET'S SPOIL HIM SO THAT HE GROWS UP TO BE JUST LIKE ONE OF THE STARS OF "HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA."
If you have a kid who just lost a tooth, these are, from now on, the rules of how this tooth fairy business should work.
1. Give the child a dollar.* A silver dollar if you feel like being Mr. Fancy Pants.
2. Make sure, when putting the dollar under your kid's pillow, that you pretend you're a bank robber pulling off a heist while the security guard is sleeping. Seriously, if I can make that exchange without my kid stirring, I feel like the fucking Phantom.
3. If the kid complains about only getting a dollar, pull out one of their other teeth and tell them that every time they bitch, "the tooth fairy skims one off the top."
4. Get on with your life. Not everything your kid does merits its own mini-holiday.
* - I gave my kid two. I'm weak and I suck.

Most of the six billion mobile phones in the world are not smartphones. Over the next several years, most of these handsets will be replaced by smartphones.
The United States is one of the more mature smartphone markets. Most smartphone device growth, therefore, will likely come from other countries -- notably China and Brazil -- in the next few years.
In a recent BI Intelligence report from Henry Blodget, we outline the opportunity for international smartphone growth, detail how smartphone penetration in the U.S. has reached the point where market growth will begin to slow rapidly, and look at the impact all of this will have on the growth rate of the smartphone ecosystem-- including gadgets, apps, ads, mobile commerce, and mobile web usage.
Access The Full Report By Signing Up For A Free Trial Today >>
Here's a brief rundown of why we are primed for international smartphone growth:
- There are many more dumbphones out there than smartphones: Roughly 20% of the six billion mobile handsets in the world are smartphones. That is nearly five billion handsets that will likely be replaced by smartphones in the next few years.
- U.S. smartphone penetration has reached over 50%: Nielsen reported that two-thirds of handsets sold in Q2 2012 were smartphones and that the market is now 55% penetrated. 78% of the primary smartphone market, U.S. adults between 18-54, already have smartphones.
- And the U.S. is only in the middle of the pack: Singapore, Hong Kong, Sweden, and Australia all have at least 79% penetration of the primary smartphone market in their respective countries, topping the U.S. Countries such as the U.K., Denmark and Norway are not far behind.
- So, where will the growth come from? Brazil has less than 20% penetration, while China is only 33% penetrated. Those are the most significant growth areas. Spain, Italy, and France -- all clocking in below 40% penetration -- are smaller opportunities as well.
- Details how the U.S. smartphone market is more than halfway penetrated
- Explains the typical "diffusion" curve for new technologies, and explains how this will impact U.S. smartphone growth going forward
- Explores the demographics of current and future smartphone users
- Analyzes the implications of slower user growth and different demographics in the U.S. smartphone market on the the entire smartphone ecosystem, including app sales, advertising sales, game sales, web-usage, and commerce
- Looks at what stage the global smartphone revolution is in and assesses global smartphone growth potential

Brian May To Auction Guitars In Aid Of Badger Charity
Queen guitarist Brian May is set to auction 11 Badger brand guitars this coming weekend in aid of badger charities. The celebrated guitarist and astrophysicist has campaigned for years against the UK's controversial badger culling policy that was designed to prevent the spread of bovine tuberculosis.
An active animal rights activist advocate, who was appointed a vice-president of the British animal welfare charity, the RSPCA, in September 2012, Brian May has frequently spoken out on the controversial issue of badger culling. In 2010, he established the Save Me Trust, which campaigns for the protection of all animals against unnecessary, cruel and degrading treatment, which – in addition to the treatment of Badgers - also places a particular emphasis on the hunting of foxes.
The legendary Queen guitarist has teamed up with guitar manufacturer Mark Badger and Philip White, founder of Red Badger Records, to offer custom guitars via eBay. Anne Brummer, CEO for May's Save Me Trust, said: "The trust's core work is in halting the badger culls and protecting and strengthening the Hunting Act. Science clearly shows that killing badgers will never stop bovine TB in cattle. Save Me aims to work collaboratively to find the solution to this devastating disease."
Mark Badger said: "Hopefully through the auction and surrounding publicity generated over the coming weeks more people will awaken and be made aware of all the cruelty and stupid acts that have been taking place over the past several years." Philip White added: "I have always wanted to take my charity work to the next level. This will hopefully be the first of many projects – and hopefully, more will be badger oriented."
Funds raised through the auction will go to groups working in the areas fighting the badger cull. The eBay auctions commence at noon every day from 26 August until 5 September 2017. Each auction will run for 24 hours.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 97 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Little Kids Street
We are a company in Australia who own a beautiful contemporary gift & homewares store called Humidity Gifts & Homewares and are ready to launch an online baby and children's boutique. Our online store was initially going to be linked to our bricks & mortor store and be called Humidity Kids.
However now we have changed the domain name so the two businesses can stand alone. So with a new name we need a new logo and unfortunately our web guys need it sooner rather than later! :-)
We will pride ourselves on having a modern contempory feel and as our online store grows we will strive to be different to the rest, offering not only the latest baby/childrens products on the market but products with a fun, loud, vibrant and unique twist.
We will sell baby and children's clothes, toys, books and accessories for newborns to age 7.
We love different and want our customers little ones to stand out in the crowd!
With so many baby/children's online stores around, we would like that WOW factor with our logo so we can continue the rest.
Mums, dads, grandparents, aunties, uncles - anyone who buys for new babies and children. ( Newborn to age 7)
With so many brands on the market for our little ones, it is easy for the consumer to buy 'different'
Mums love when their friends say 'wow, where did you get that'
We will pride our store to offer, not only the latest baby and childrens products but to offer savvy, bold and unique items so their little ones can make a statement with their clothes, toys and accessories.
Logo required! For new online baby and children's boutique called
Little Kids Street (http://www.littlekidsstreet.com.au)
The logo only needs to show our name, but if you are feeling adventurous
a tag line would be great too :-)
We love colour and contemporary. We love icypoles, yo-yo's, fizzy pop, beach balls and fun!
We don't like pastel colours, dolls, stick figures or a baby baby look.
Have fun and I will try and guide you with each design!
Feel free to look at http://www.kidsstylefile.com.au to see what other Australian baby/children's online boutiques look like.
Thanks heaps :-)

Texas-raised, Nashville-based blues/rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Charlie Oxford creates his own blend of modern-soulful pop on his self-titled debut Charlie Oxford out September 25, 2015.
The 10 tracks on the debut mix Oxford's butter-smooth vocals with horns, B3 organ and bursts of electric guitar. Co-written entirely by Oxford and produced by Adam Smith (Jordin Sparks, Lovedrug, the Veronicas), the album features plenty of A-list cameos — including the Horn Heads, whose work can be heard on albums by Prince, Chaka Khan and Tower of Power — without taking the spotlight off Oxford, whose voice swoons its way through tracks like the first single "Driving Me Crazy" and the second, "Letting Go." It's a record about chasing down your dreams, finding love and looking for your spot in the world.
"Charlie Oxford might seem young for a blues man, but his fingers play that fretboard like an old soul," says Southern Living who premiered "Drive Me Crazy" as their Music Monday Premiere on 7/20. "His music, often confessional, bears the weight of a life long lived, even if the Nashville-based artist stands at the beginning of what's almost guaranteed to be a successful career."
It's been a long road for Charlie Oxford to see light. After his first record deal went sour, Oxford regained the rights to Charlie Oxford, resulting in the album's re-release in September 2015.
He kept writing, too, whipping up a pair of EPs (coming out in early 2016) that show off his strength as a live performer. The first is largely acoustic-based, pairing three stripped-down tunes from the self-titled debut with a new track, "Call Me." The second finds Oxford turning up the noise and the tempo.
Charlie's latest single is a track entitled "Call Me", a song that The Huffington Post premiered and had high praises for. According to Oxford, "It's a song about support, and being there for a friend in a time of need. It came about because a really long time friend of mine from my childhood had been battling a lot of inner demons. It all started boiling up and myself along with a few other friends started noticing him lying about these massive personal accolades that were obviously not happening in his life. Needless to say he needed a friend to be there for him."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today issued a new section to its Compliance Manual which provides the Commission's first comprehensive analysis of some of the most important employee benefits issues under the anti- discrimination laws.
The new Compliance Manual section analyzes benefit discrimination claims under each of the laws enforced by the Commission, clearly explaining that the laws prohibit discrimination in fringe benefits. "This guidance makes clear that employers are never allowed to consider employees' race, color, sex, national origin, or religion, nor retaliate against them, in connection with their benefits plan," said EEOC Chairwoman Ida L. Castro "The section also explains that benefit plan provisions that differentiate on the basis of age or disability must be carefully scrutinized to ensure they do not run afoul of the law."
The section examines the legal standards that apply to claims of discrimination in health and life insurance benefits, long-term and short-term disability benefits, severance benefits, pension or other retirement benefits, and early retirement incentives. The limited circumstances in which the law permits employers to provide lower benefits to older employees than to younger workers and the specific requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act are set forth.
Ms. Castro added: "Issuing this new section is a major step in EEOC's continuing efforts to update and streamline its Compliance Manual in order to aid our investigators and attorneys in handling claims involving discrimination in employee benefits while also enhancing our customer service." The new Compliance Manual section replaces former Section 627: Employee Benefit Plans and seven other Commission policy statements.
This is the second issuance of new sections to the Compliance Manual in recent months. In May, EEOC issued a new section on "threshold" issues, the factors considered by the Commission in determining who can pursue a legal claim of employment discrimination. The full text of the both new sections, as well as other information about the Commission, is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.
EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which protects workers 40 and older; the Equal Pay Act, which bars sex-based differences in compensation; the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting persons with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

At least for those of us lucky enough to get a taste of its live shows back in the day -- and by taste, I mean smashed chunks of watermelon landing in your mouth -- Metallagher was an unforgettable antidote to the often overly serious mid-'00s music scene. The quintet concocted the who'd-a-thunk-it mixture of Metallica tunes and Gallagher bits, combining the biggest band of its members' youth with arguably the worst celebrity comedian of all time. They're back for an almost-annual gig to remind you how bad the hammer-swinging comic really was, but they're also good enough as a cover band to do the pre-"Black Album" tunes justice. The Good Bars and Deaf Mexico open. (10 p.m. Fri., Triple Rock. $10.) Chris Riemenschneider
Just as nonchalantly as he dropped out more than a decade ago, one of the Twin Cities' most buzzed-about indie singers of the '90s is back with the Jim Ruiz Set, a new trio featuring his new wife and a batch of new, classic-sounding lounge-pop songs. Ruiz just released his first album since his last Legendary Jim Ruiz record in 1998, titled "Mount Curve Avenue" and issued on a new local co-op label, Korda Records. Ruiz headlines a showcase for the label with two of its other acts: Ocean Blue, an atmospheric and jangly Pennsylvania buzz band signed to Sire Records in the early '80s and now partially based out of Minneapolis, plus the Owls/Hang-Ups mash-up group the Starfolk. To read an update on Ruiz, see Saturday's Variety section. (9 p.m. Sat., 7th Street Entry. $12.) Riemenschneider
A cult-loved New York band solidly stuck between the grunge and hardcore punk scenes in the early '90s, Quicksand played a hometown reunion gig and Jimmy Fallon's show over the summer, and things went well enough to launch its first tour in 13 years. The quartet released only two crushing albums, "Slip" and "Manic Compression" -- both of which stand up surprisingly well -- before abruptly splitting in 1995. In the interim, bassist Sergio Vega became a member of the Deftones, and frontman Walter produced for the likes of Hot Water Music. They were a monstrous live act, and recent clips suggest they still are. Canadian band Single Mothers opens. (8 p.m. Sun., First Avenue, $25.) Riemenschneider
A sister act originally born as a healing way out of a personal tragedy, the Ericksons have maintained their stark, soul-baring, go-to-the-light tone while stretching out musically on a record that should bring them into the spotlight. "The Wild" was recorded in the semi-wild environment of Fall Creek, Wis., at Justin Vernon's studio, with the same guy who engineered Field Report's record there, Beau Sorenson. Atmospheric guitar/pedal-steel parts and rolling drums add a Daniel Lanois-like sheen to Bethany Valenti's and Jenny Kochsiek's coffeehouse-warm, Emmylou Harris-channeling vocals. The sweet-voiced sibling folkies even get rocking in one of the best tracks, "Find Yourself a Lover." Their album-release party features Jimmy Peterson, of Bellwether and 757s notoriety, as opener. (7:30 p.m. Thu., Cedar Cultural Center, all ages, $12-$15.) Riemenschneider
Come for the good cause, and stay for the hyperactive rock, when the Used heads up the 11th annual Take Action Tour. This year's do-gooder caravan and accompanying compilation album -- from the Hopeless Records nonprofit offshoot Sub City -- benefits the It Gets Better Project, an organization that counsels and encourages gay and lesbian teens. It's also another chance for Utah's angst-ridden Warped Tour vets to promote their fifth album, "Vulnerable." Rounding out the lineup are Michigan metalcore band We Came as Romans, Crown the Empire and Mindflow. (5:30 p.m. Thu., First Avenue, $27.50.) Riemenschneider
Always a Nashville outsider, Dwight Yoakam has captured only one Grammy and no prizes from any of the major country award organizations. But this proud purveyor of Bakersfield country music has scored 14 Top 10 country singles, sold more than 25 million albums and won the hearts of many fans with his honky-tonk tales, edgy big-screen acting and sexy dancing legs in concert. Yoakam's recent album "3 Pears" -- his first collection of original material in seven years -- was one of the best country albums of 2012. With a 1960s vibe permeating the collection, there are introspective ballads (the Buddy Holly-meets-Roy Orbison "Trying"), honky-tonk romps ("Dim Lights, Thick Smoke"), twangy Beatlesy pop ("Take Hold of My Hand") and Byrds-like pop-rock ("Nothin' But Love," "A Heart Like Mine," produced by Beck). (8 p.m. Fri. Treasure Island Casino, Red Wing, Minn. $38-$48, 1-877-849-1640.) Jon BreamFOLK/ROOTS
With a double bill of Kelly Joe Phelps and Peter Mulvey, you get two fine songwriters and singers who are also excellent guitarists. Pacific Northwest bluesman Phelps is a critics' darling and musicians' favorite known for his stellar slide-guitar work, both lap slide and bottleneck. Wisconsin-based Mulvey is nominally a folkie, but his range of interests and material seems boundless. Lesser-known but ultimately more interesting, Mulvey has terrific taste in cover material, putting his own quirky stamp on gems by everyone from Marvin Gaye to Leonard Cohen to Thelonious Monk. 8 p.m. Fri., Cedar Cultural Center, $15.) Tom Surowicz
Local world-music treasure Cafe Accordion Orchestra, led by Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton, releases yet another tasty CD this week, number nine in its cool catalog. "La Zingara" offers a Newton's Sampler mix of global grooves, blues and jazz, with tunes from Mexico, Greece, Venezuela, Finland, Memphis and Tin Pan Alley. The CD's two guest stars are swell multi-lingual singer Diane Jarvi, who sadly strolls down the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," and supple trad-jazz clarinet master Tony Balluff of the Southside Aces. There's quite a stylistic jump from the hot gypsy swing of "Rythmes Gitans" to the Memphis Jug Band's "Fourth Street Mess Around," but it's all in a night's work, along with some cumbias and waltzes, for the CAO. (8 p.m. Sat., Cedar Cultural Center, $15-$18.) Surowicz
Two of Minnesota's best acoustic guitarists join forces for a church concert with an early start time and a low ticket price. Tim Sparks is known for his mastery of swing and bop jazz, Balkan music and Jewish traditional melodies, plus his ever-popular reworking of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite" for finger-style guitar. Phil Heywood's specialty is also finger-style guitar, which he applies to a few blues and folk classics and lots of evocative original compositions in the "American Primitive" vein. Heywood has recorded five solo CDs and played duets with legends including Leo Kottke (on a national tour) and Chet Atkins (on "A Prairie Home Companion"). (6 p.m. Sun., Hope Christian Church, 4911 Hodgson Rd., Shoreview, 651-486-6243. $5-$7.) Surowicz
The band Lulu's Playground got started at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis., then relocated to the Twin Cities -- heck, what's there to do in Appleton besides root for the Packers? The quartet's instrumentation is rather unique, with trumpet (Adam Meckler), cello (Cory Grossman), accordion (Steven Hobert) and electric guitar (Evan Montgomery). Meckler already has made a splash in the local jazz scene, leading his own orchestra and working with Todd Clouser's A Love Electric and the Jack Brass Band. In Lulu's Playground, he gets to play some decidedly non-jazz material, including Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," on which the band shows off its surprising four-part vocal harmony skills. This weekend the combo celebrates its debut CD, "Shadow Voices." (9 p.m. Fri.-Sat., Artists' Quarter, $10.) Surowicz
Saxophonist Nathan Hanson of the Fantastic Merlins is based in St. Paul, but just as well-known in France, where he frequently performs. This weekend, he once again assembles his mighty Saxophone Choir, a seldom-seen band which is full of firepower. It co-stars Donald Washington, George Cartwright, Pat Moriarty, Scott Fultz and Pat O'Keefe, all on various saxes, plus bassist Brian Roessler and drummer Pete Hennig. In addition to Hanson's original works, which leave plenty of room for improv, the sax choir will tackle compositions of Carla Bley, Carei Thomas, Milton Nascimento and veteran French avant drummer Jacques Thollots, in whose quartet Hanson often works. Tickets are cheap -- less than a buck per saxophonist. (7:30 p.m. Sun., Cedar Cultural Center, $5.) Surowicz
The Latin Jazz All-Stars' lineup changes a bit from gig to gig, but the high quality of the musicianship is assured in any band marshaled by charismatic trombonist Steve Turre. He's an aural wonder, whether playing with the "Saturday Night Live" band, feting his old boss Rahsaan Roland Kirk or making musical magic with conch shells. This edition of the band also features charming West Coast timbales legend (and Sheila E.'s dad, and Alejandro Escovedo's brother, and Nicole Richie's grandfather!) Pete Escovedo, along with Puerto Rican flute star Nestor Torres and congas king Wilson "Chembo" Corniel. See Sunday's Star Tribune for a story about the band. (7 & 9 p.m. Tue., Dakota Jazz Club, $25-$30.) Surowicz

Sometimes, a running back just needs to go to the ground. Gaining an extra half a yard is not worth the injury and pain it brings. Sometimes it's just not worth the fight.
That's kind of where Reggie Bush is today. He announced Tuesday that he is returning his Heisman Trophy. He made the announcement through a statement released by the New Orleans Saints.
"One of the greatest honors of my life was winning the Heisman Trophy in 2005. For me, it was a dream come true. But I know that the Heisman is not mine alone. Far from it. I know that my victory was made possible by the discipline and hard work of my teammates, the steady guidance of my coaches, the inspiration of the fans, and the unconditional love of my family and friends. And I know that any young man fortunate enough to win the Heisman enters into a family of sorts. Each individual carries the legacy of the award and each one is entrusted with its good name.
"It is for these reasons that I have made the difficult decision to forfeit my title as Heisman winner of 2005."
Last week, Yahoo reported that the Heisman Trust was looking into Bush in light of his award and the NCAA report on his time at USC. If the trust determined Bush received illegal benefits during the 2005 season, they were going to discuss stripping him of the award.
It is possible that the Trust gave Bush the "forfeit this award or we will strip it from you" message through a back channel. Or it is possible that Bush saw the writing on the wall, saw what the fight to keep the award would be like, and decided it was not worth it.
These latest headlines came on the heels of heavy sanctions on USC's football program in the wake of an NCAA report that said Bush and basketball player O.J. Mayo received benefits while at USC outside of NCAA regulations. A report sparked in part because Bush got in a several-year long battle over repayment to one of the guys named in the report who did not become Bush's agent. This summer Bush settled that case.
All of this had already been a lot of media attention and more was coming. A lot of questions. A lot of Internet sniping. Bush has moved on — he has a shiny Super Bowl ring now and millions from the NFL — he doesn't want the distraction.
He could have said the Heisman was his, that he earned it on the field. He ran for 1,740 yards and 16 touchdowns, averaging 8.7 yards per carry, plus had 37 receptions in 2005. He put up monster numbers, and more so, he was dynamic on to the field. Maybe the most exciting college player of the last decade.
But sometimes it's not worth the fight for the extra yard.
Give up the trophy and the controversy fades away in a couple days. He will still have the memories — he and all USC fans — of what happened in 2005. The NCAA can't strip that with an edict. Reggie Bush's legend at USC may be tarnished some, but it still remains. It will always remain.
Vince Young of Texas was the runner up for that award. Whether he accepts it or if the award remains vacant is yet undetermined.

Texas rice farmers await outcome of budget battle
WASHINGTON — Texas rice farmers are approaching a fiscal cliff of their own as the lame-duck Congress ponders passage of a new farm bill or the extension of the old one.
"The farm bill is supposed to be there when you need it, at a level to keep you in business to farm another day," said Daniel Berglund, who grows 1,000 acres of rice near Bay City in Matagorda County, southwest of Houston.
"I don't think it's the responsibility of taxpayers if I'm a success or not. But this is not a handout. It's an industry-support system."
Texas is fourth in the nation in rice production, and rice is 12th on the state's list of agricultural products, with annual receipts totaling $176 million.
Its modest profile belies a tradition of Texas rice farming that dates back at least to the Civil War.
Rice cultivation on the Gulf Coast got a major boost in 1904, when the Houston Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Pacific Railroad solicited advice from Japanese farmers, who arrived bearing gifts of rice seed from the emperor.
The farm bill has been a staple of U.S. farmers since the 1930s, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt made federal support of agriculture a centerpiece of the New Deal.
Rice is among the commodities — soybeans, corn and wheat to name a few — for which growers lobby hard every four years to get farm bill support against the vagaries of price, yield and weather.
But instead of the usual quadrennial exercise of interest primarily to rural America, the farm bill this year is trapped in no man's land as the budget-and-tax war rages on Capitol Hill.
The conflict is producing fissures among conservative Republicans, with tea party advocates and others arguing that the farm bill "violates conservative (and) free market principles," as a letter last month from prominent conservatives — including tax-pledge architect Grover Norquist — put it.
Even House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the farm bill contained some "Soviet-style" provisions.
But conservative Republican lawmakers from farming states see farm bill spending as a wise investment in the rural economy and U.S. food security.
"One of the ongoing discussions I've had with tea party folks is you can't get everything you want all at once," said Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, whose district includes a wide swath of the Texas rice belt. "But as long as you're moving in the right direction, that's a win. The farm bill moves to decrease government's role in agriculture while not putting family farms in jeopardy."
Lawmakers say that since projected farm bill savings could run as high as $35 billion, it could be incorporated into a bargain between the Obama administration and congressional Democrats and Republicans to avert the fiscal cliff Jan. 1 — the date when expiring tax breaks and spending cuts kick in, threatening to throw the economy back into recession.
A less-desirable alternative, they say, is extending the expired 2008 farm bill another year while Congress hashes out a new one.
"No one is realistically saying ignore the farm bill and let the chips fall where they may," said Rep. Michael Conaway, R-Midland, who is chairman of the House Agriculture subcommittee that oversees commodities. "My sense is we've got leverage because we save $35 billion, which is no small chunk of change. It's good for us to be in a position of reduction in spending when that's the name of the game."
The Senate in June voted 64-35 to approve its farm bill, which cut $23.1 billion over 10 years over the 2008 bill.
The House Agriculture Committee in July voted 35-11 to move its bill, which proposed $35.1 billion in cuts.
The House's Republican leaders kept the House version off the floor because they lacked the votes to pass it. Among the major hangups: SNAP — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps.
The Senate proposed cutting it by $4.5 billion, compared with the House's $16.5 billion cut. Hard-line House conservatives considered $16.5 billion too low.
Both bills do away with direct payments to farmers of rice and other commodities in favor of expanded crop insurance that covers losses in crop yield and farm revenue.
The Senate bill, geared more toward Midwestern farmers of soybeans, corn and wheat, provides some extra assistance through a complicated formula that measures declining revenue.
The House bill, oriented to Southern peanut and rice growers, gives farmers the option to recoup losses through government payments triggered by declining prices — similar in some ways to a discarded countercyclical payment formula in the 2008 bill that also was aimed at offsetting low prices.
Rice farmers prefer the House bill because they say its price trigger better tracks the realities of rice production, where yields are stable and revenues reflect modest prices contingent on production in places such as Thailand and Vietnam.
The House bill essentially guarantees rice farmers a "safety net" price they can use to get a bank loan at the onset of the crop cycle.
"Could I have survived without the safety net? No, absolutely not," said Kenny Danklefs, a third-generation farmer who grows about 800 acres of rice near Garwood in Colorado County.
"My banker would have told me you don't have enough equity," he said. "They wouldn't have allowed me to borrow money for the next cycle."
Danklefs said he voted for defeated GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and considers himself "more conservative than liberal."
Nevertheless, federal support helps agriculture be "a positive as far as the trade balance goes," he said. "And I buy fertilizer, fuel, machinery. The money trickles down through the economy; it's not something that goes in my pocket and stays there."

Post subject: Car Values
I am trying to find a website that shows English Ford values, in particular I am wondering what a 1963 Ford Consul Capri is worth. I found a couple websites that show the value of my 1960 Ford Anglia 106E, but nothing with a Consul or Capri. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks, Lee[/b]

Post subject: English Ford Values
Old Cars Weekly publishes an annually updated collector car value guide that includes English Fords (though Im not sure about Consul 315s and Capris). However the published values seem overly optimistic to me. Obviously sales of any English Ford here is uncommon and I dont think that there is enough public activity to reliably track values here. I have wondered if they are getting their values for our cars from the UK, where of course they are more valuable.
Please let us know what turns up.

I've seen several European magazines that have value listings for classic cars. In Portugal, for example, theres a magazine called Motor Classicos that offer such listings. I think there is a UK magazine with such values but I can't recall which ones. When I subscribed to Octane Magazine from the UK about a year ago, I stopped buying the other ones. (Octane does not list values) I don't think that the values would very accurate either but they may offer a starting point.

I think Practical Classics magazine which is available at major book stores lists the U.K. values which as mentioned may not be accurate over here but could be used as a comparative starting point or a selling feature. In this market they they are "usually" worth about half of what they are in the U.K.

I would'nt pay much attention to the values quoted in Practical Classics and other UK magazines, they are very rarely updated and are usually inaccurate. As an example they list the top price for a 105E Anglia as two thousand pounds. A really good one will go for probably twice that, I paid £3,500 in 2000! The prices of quite a few of the English Fords have increased in recent years, especially Mk1/2 Escorts and Mk2/3 Zephyr/Zodiacs.

It's a whole different market over here Paul, that's if you can call it a market. While you are correct in what you say, 2000 pounds is 4000 Dollars and that is more than they have historically sold for over here however the Harry Potter thing may help increase values. A mk 1 Cortina here in Canada recently got big up to 6200 Dollars on ebay which is the most I can recollect one getting up to. A "nice" Lotus may fetch 10,000 Dollars (5000 Pounds) if you can find the right customer. Prices are on thr rise though which is a good thing.

The prices here are getting too high for the 'normal' enthusiast. Mk1 Lotus Cortinas are normally over £10,000 and GT versions have followed the upward trend. The Mk2 variants are slowly following but are cheaper. Normal shopping versions aren't too bad but of course all English Fords are pretty expensive to restore properly as original panels are scarce and expensive. The best value cars are the 100E/107Es but the sidevalve engines are not much good at coping with modern traffic conditions. I'm glad that there there are quite a few of you keeping our old Fords alive!

That's true Paul,
Have you seen the prices of 105E stuff recently?
There was a Bonnet badge sold on E-Bay recently for the princely sum of £150!!!
I think the 105E is the next one to start soaring, not just because of the Harry Potter 'Halo' effect, but also because Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts are becoming overpriced so people move on to the next one.
You can see the path by looking at the trends with Escorts.
First the Mk1 2 Doors got expensive, so people moved to 4 Doors, then when they went up they moved to Mk2's, following the same 2-door 4-door line...
Just wish I'd held on to the 109E van and the Mk2 Escort Ghia and the Mk2 Escort Estate, could have been on a goldmine..

That's a nicely prepared car for around the right money. They are around that price in Europe for race car and quite a few of them started life as a 1200 Deluxe! Wish I had the money to buy it. I'll just have to keep doing the lottery I guess! By the way Dave, your Cortina is really nice. My late uncle bought a new red 1500GT Cortina in early 1967, it looked real cool with Lotus rims and I have fond memories of him and that car in particular.

Post subject: Values, Consul Capri in particular
Ah, one of my pet subjects... ha ha..... values.
You are only going to get what someone is prepared to pay of course. But in my mind too many cars get sold too cheaply.
If it's a common model, well that may be fine.
With regards to the Consul Capri in particular, the highest price I have seen on ebay is 6547 Pounds. Very very nice GT. I sold a Consul Capri here for A$11700 over 10 years ago. The car was restored and had a Toyota 4AGE fitted. I wouldn't let my current one go for less than A$25,000. This may seem high to some, but the cars are even rarer now. like someone mentioned above, parts are going through the roof. So it is all subjective.
If the car requires restoration, then the price is going to be low. Once restored, it will have a heap of value in it.
I am putting on as many new parts as I can find. Just the sum of these is many thousands, without the work value. Not that it really matters because I won't be selling it anyway!!
Owned a Consul Capri since 1978. Ex-President of Consul Capri Owners Club (UK). Have owned 5 Capri's, 4 Classics, and numerous other 60's Fords.

bento lunch for Independence Day!
We've got the red, white & blue and stars & stripes covered, so I suppose it was a success. :)
In the top section: grilled cheese panini cut into stars, frozen blueberries and sunflower kernels.
In the bottom section: strawberries and pickles.
This bento is packed in a Sassy Box with just one of the small inner dishes used (the pickle one!).
I hope everyone is enjoying a fun and safe 4th of July!!
Supplies used to make this bento lunch:

I love those little sandwiches! But I have one question, did you gut them before or after you grilled them? I always cut mine after and it never works!
I would love it if you check out my website :)) http://thebentomomento.blogspot.com/

melissa, your bentos are so great! you've inspired me to be a bit more creative with how i present my kids' lunches. last week my oldest was at a sports camp and we used a panda bento box for his snacks. it was a hit with him and the other kids. thanks for the inspiration!

How well do the frozen blueberries go over? I keep them for smoothies and have noticed you pack them often. Do your children eat them a little frozen or do they thaw and mush before being consumed?

Kris, my little girl looooooves blueberries and will eat them up any way she can get them. My oldest son, who is 8, likes them best when they are frozen. This last batch I bought I flash-froze as soon as I got them home. His favorite way is to eat them straight from the freezer. (He eats his peas the same way!) He's fine with them being thawed too, but doesn't care much for them unless they are really cold.
*waving to Xandy!* Hi!!! :)
Thanks, Susan! :)

Hi daffodil! I cut them into stars after. It was not very easy to get the cutter through the back half of the toasted sandwich, but I think if I were to cut out the pieces prior to grilling that all of the insides would have oozed out!

That was the weekend that was. Newcastle vs Arsenal deserves a post in itself!
1. Fernando Torres certainly had a Chelsea debut to forget and it will be interesting to see how Carlo Ancelotti fits him in for the rest of the season. The switch to a diamond midfield with Torres and Drogba playing as a pair up front wasn't a surprise but it was strange to see Nicolas Anelka given the nod in the hole behind them.
I assume the theory was that Lampard's strength is arriving from deep, something which would be negated if he played at the head of diamond. Chelsea's success over the past few season has come through playing 4-3-3 and you can't fit Torres and Drogba in that system and get the best of both.
Torres of course needs time to adapt; despite his price tag you can't just expect him to instantly understand his new team-mates way of playing. But, given how Chelsea are quickly becoming involved in a battle to maintain a top four position as well as trying to engineer another attempt at the holy grail of the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti will have his work cut out to solve this conundrum quickly.
2. In contrast, Torres' old team are on quite the run of form at the moment. After overseeing a defeat to Blackpool, Kenny Dalglish has quickly turned things around with some innovative, or should that be retro, tactical moves.
Three at the back has long been out of vogue but Liverpool have used it successfully to stifle the aerial bombardment of Stoke, and now the technical probing of Chelsea. Contrasting attacks but the same result – a convincing clean sheet. The beauty of playing 3-5-2 with wing-backs is that in theory it can work so well – they offer solidity in defence by forming a five but options in attack when pushing forward.
I don't see Glen Johnson working well long-term on the left but it seems to be successful for the time being. Of course Dalglish has the same problem as Ancelotti in trying to fit £50m worth of strike force into his team but you feel it will be a little easier with the players at his disposal.
3. Niko Kranjcar's winner for Spurs against Bolton should give Harry Redknapp some reminder of the talents at his disposal. Notoriously poor at rotating, Redknapp is very much one to stick to the same players until the they get injured or he just doesn't fancy them anymore. Kranjcar has been one of the unlucky ones this season with just six appearances to his name, totalling a measly 235 minutes.
So much so that 'Arry bought a similar player in Pienaar in the transfer window, simply because he was available rather than any great need for him. The whole point of a 25 man squad is to use it, not least when you're competing at the top end of the table and the Champions League. Perhaps he'd find that when he does have to turn to them, they might perform better if they've had a few games under their belts.
4. Following Chelsea and now Man Utd losing to Wolves this season, Arsenal's 2-0 victory at Molineux is looking better and better. It must be frustrating that Mick McCarthy can get fantastic performances against the big sides but then lose to those around him. As with last season, it will be a close run thing whether Wolves go down but there are certainly worse teams in the league this season. They have yet to play either match against West Brom and those two games look like being crucial in determining which of the two sides will be relegated. I certainly don't think both will stay up.
5. Bolton have now lost six straight away games. What was looking like a promising Europa League push is turning into a mid-table season. Part of the reason must be that the previously red-hot partnership of Elmander and Davies have one goal each since late November and Chung-Yong Lee, who had six assists has been away at the Asian Cup. With that in mind the loan signing of Sturridge looks to be a good move both for player and club. Already he's taken on some of the attacking responsibility with two goals in two games.
He'll be sure to want prove that he's good enough to be at Chelsea next season and that motivation can only benefit Bolton. After all, this time last season Jack Wilshere was embarking on a similar loan and is now a starter for Arsenal and in the England squad. If Sturridge can get the goals to fire Bolton to 7th, Bolton may even have a shot at keeping him permanently.
6. Ten games produced 43 goals this weekend. As ever, Blackpool played a big part in that and their 25 games this season have seen 87 goals at just three and half a game. I wouldn't want Ian Holloway to change his approach at all, but for the sake of Blackpool having another season in the top flight, I'd love them to get a 0-0 away from home once in a while!
