Mourinho demands respect
MANCHESTER, England (AP):Jose Mourinho resumed his rivalry with Arsene Wenger today on the back of a simple message: Give me some respect.The biggest subplot to the high-profile Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford today is the renewal of the often-spiky coaching relationship between Mourinho and Wenger.The managers have clashed repeatedly over the years, either on the touchline – Wenger once shoved Mourinho in the chest following an argument in the technical area – or via verbal barbs in news conferences.Mourinho is rarely short of an opinion when it comes to Wenger, having previously called the Frenchman a “voyeur” because of his regular comments about Mourinho’s former club, Chelsea, and a “specialist in failure” during Arsenal’s nine years without winning trophy (2005-14).Yesterday, Mourinho wondered out loud why, in his opinion, Wenger gets more credit for his achievements.”Tomorrow (today) is a match between the two managers with the best record in the Premier League, now Alex Ferguson isn’t here anymore,” Mourinho said, referring to his and Wenger’s record of winning three league titles each.”Does that mean we should be respected, even in periods where our results are not the best? I think Mr. Wenger has that respect, I don’t think I have. Especially because my last Premier League title was 18 months ago, not 18 years ago. I don’t think I get that respect.”Mourinho’s most recent league title came in 2015, at the end of the second season of his second stint at Chelsea. Wenger hasn’t won the league with Arsenal since 2004.Yet, Mourinho feels he is targeted for criticism more than Wenger. Some believe Mourinho is already losing his grip at United after a number of public outbursts toward his players and what some pundits believe to be his outdated playing style compared to some of the younger Premier League managers.Mourinho said his track record of winning league titles at every top club he has managed – FC Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan – demands that he gets more time. And, that word again, respect.”When I was sacked at Chelsea, I was not in trouble. I had lots of offers,” Mourinho said. “I could be working in some of the biggest cubs in Europe and I waited for the chance to work at a club where I wanted to be.”The arrival of Mourinho in English football in 2004 is one of the major reasons why Arsenal declined as a major force, damaging Wenger’s reputation in the process. Fueled by Roman Abramovich’s heavy spending, Chelsea became the best team in England the season after Arsenal won the championship by going through the 2003-04 campaign unbeaten.
Associates and employees of the newly-established carrier Guyana Airways, whose registration to operate was revoked, picketed the Arthur Chung Conference Centre ahead of the Air Transport Conference organised by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) on Wednesday.Guyana Airways representatives protesting the revocation of the company’s registration on Wednesday at the opening of the ICAO’s Air Transport ConferenceGuyana Airways flight attendant Shellyann Lalchand told media operatives that the company was registered in 2016 after it was found that the name was legal. With no objections within the stipulated time period, the company went ahead with the registration.“Guyana Airways Corporation was legally registered as company in 2016. We did all the research when we did the registration and the name Guyana Airways was available at that time. The registrar did their research and it was available. However, all authorities had six months within that time to object and no one did, so we went ahead with our registration and the progress of our company,” said Lalchand.After complaints were raised that a previous company operated under that name, the licence was revoked.“However, in July 2018, the Government and the registrar unregistered our company without prior notice, which is totally illogical to me because it’s two years. We feel that we’re in our legal rights.”Lalchand is contending that the name was legal since no company is presently operating under the said title.“The Government presently have us in court. When Guyana Airways did the research, the old Guyana Airways was default which means it was not in operation anymore, so Guyana Airways was available … They’re claiming that this name was not available.”The company was planning to commence operations in Guyana last October, providing daily flights to a number of Caribbean destinations.Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Colin Abrams stated during an interview with this publication that they were awaiting confirmation from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) as it relates to the acquisition of its licence, which would give the final confirmation on its operation plans.“We’d hopefully like to commence operations during October after cruiser training in Miami and we’re shooting for October. That is part of the AOC [Air Operator’s Certificate] licensing process. We have to fly trips and they observe that our trips are flown within the realms of our operating procedures that we wrote in our manuals,” he said.The aircraft to be used are not owned by the company, but would be dry-leased. Additionally, some 80 flight attendants were hired to provide the designated services.
Germany’s Nations League clash with the Netherlands on Saturday in Amsterdam will be Loew’s 168th international since taking charge in 2006, but Ballack says his 12-year reign should already be over.“I was surprised, as well as many other people, that he kept his job,” Ballack, who made 98 appearances for Germany, told Deutsche Welle.“For a long time, he worked with the team and sometimes you should say that things don’t work anymore,” added Ballack on Loew’s 12-year tenure.Last May, Loew signed a contract extension with the German Football Association (DFB) until the 2022 World Cup.However, Ballack believes Loew should have been “professional enough” to take the consequences for such a woeful campaign in Russia.The ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich midfielder says Loew should have blooded younger players rather than rely on senior players.“It’s not abnormal that a coach who won the World Cup trusts the players with whom he was successful,” said Ballack.“But that’s the difficulty, because he is responsible for that, he should be professional enough.” Germany midfielder Toni Kroos backed Loew on Thursday when asked about Ballack’s comments.“I think we’ll get our act together with Joachim Loew and I think he deserves the chance to keep going,” Kroos said at a press conference in Berlin.Kroos, a key component of Germany’s 2014 World Cup triumph, said Loew’s speeches to the squad in Russia were “as good as never before. Yet we still went out early”.– ‘Huge disappointment’ –Ballack’s sharp criticism of Loew is no surprise given their history.In 2008, as national team captain Ballack accused Loew of showing a lack of respect to senior players.Despite clear-the-air talks, tension remained between the pair until Ballack was injured before the 2010 World Cup and never played for Germany again.Former Bayern Munich captain Michael Ballack, 42, has been a sharp critic of Germany’s head coach Joachim Loew since the pair had a public falling out in 2008, when Ballack accused Loew of not showing enough respect to senior national team players. © AFP/File / Christof STACHEBallack also criticised the DFB for allowing Loew to conduct his own analyse of their dismal World Cup performances.“The World Cup was a huge disappointment and there were reasons for that,” said Ballack.“You should analyse it, really (properly), and not just say ‘we will analyse that’ when you have already made the decision to keep the coach.“That’s not a real analysis.“There should not just be one person who is making these decisions.”Ballack says a poor mentality was the reason Germany struggled in Russia.“It was a kind of mentality issue, because the quality doesn’t drop down so much in four years that you can’t challenge or you can’t advance past the first round,” Ballack said. “What was the problem? The hunger, the desire, the fighting spirit, there was much speculation.“The only true answer can be provided by the players themselves.”0Shares0000(Visited 4 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Germany’s head coach Joachim Loew should have lost his job in the wake of a woeful World Cup display, after his team finished bottom of their group, says ex-national team captain Michael Ballack. © AFP/File / SAEED KHANBerlin, Germany, Oct 11 – Michael Ballack believes Germany coach Joachim Loew should have lost his job in the wake of their woeful World Cup performance in Russia.Ballack, 42, who captained Germany between 2004-2010, is the first senior figure in German football to say Loew, who steered the country to the 2014 World Cup title, should have been fired after his team finished bottom of their group in Russia.

But in the behemoth Los Angeles Unified School District and its giant campuses, especially in impacted communities, personalized, adult attention is often lacking. The success of The Village shows what all schools need, and what too many in the LAUSD are shamefully missing. THE success of “The Village” – which has raised African-American students’ test scores by 100 points at Cleveland High School in Reseda – seems counterintuitive. After all, the program doesn’t do anything especially academic. It consists only of monthly assemblies for black students and teachers. Yet it works. There’s a lesson to be learned here. What The Village offers is the ingredient that’s too often missing throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District – respect. Given quality time to engage and interact with their teachers on a personal level, students get the sense that their concerns are taken seriously, that they are more than just a number – that someone actually cares whether they fail or succeed.

A man caught with €36,000 of stolen ESB materials in the back of a van when stopped by Gardai has been given one last chance by a Judge.Brian ‘Mouse’ Ward pictured in handcuffs and grey tracksuit outside a previous sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court.Brian Ward, who had 20 previous convictions, was stopped by Gardai in a van on the dual carriageway at Bonagee outside Letterkenny on September 2nd, 2013. When Gardai searched the van it contained 18 specialist allow wheels used to erect ESB poles and were valued at €2,000 each.The wheels had been filed down and disguised to look like they had been used over a period of time.However, the wheels were actually brand new and had been reported stolen from an ESB site at Menaroy, Churchill.Ward, 20, was charged with handling stolen goods while another man in the van had fled to England.Gardai said that Ward had told them that they were planning to sell the wheels and other metal for scrap to McEhinney’s Scrapyard in Ballybofey but would probably only receive about €600 for the scrap value.Judge O’Hagan asked Garda Derek Connaughton if he thought McElhinney’s knew where the goods might have come from.The Gardai replied that he knew they were not Brian Ward’s fairly quickly and that the ESB stamp were all over the goods.Judge O’Hagan said he did not believe this was an opportunist crime saying that this was very specialist equipment and said he was particularly concerned that the ESB logos had been rubbed off them on purpose.However he said he was prepared to give Ward a chance but it was a final chance.“I will give him a chance but is the last chance he is going to get. If he comes up in future for theft charges he will go away,” he warned.He sentenced Ward to two years in jail but replaced the sentence with 240 hours community service and ordered €400 handed in by Ward to court to go to the Donegal Hospice.Judge O’Hagan then initially ordered Gardai to bring a trailer being used in the theft to the scrapyard to see if they could get any cash for it!However he revoked the order after hearing it may be used in the case against a second man being sought in connection with the crime.COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR MAN CAUGHT RED-HANDED WITH €36,000 OF STOLEN ESB GEAR was last modified: July 23rd, 2014 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:Brian WarddonegalESB equipmentGardaiJUdge John O’HaganLetterkenny Circuit Court
SANTA CLARITA – Workers aiming to beat the fall rainy season are fixing a damaged flood control channel in the South Fork riverbed that slows the flow of water headed downstream. A section of the county-maintained channel near the junction of Magic Mountain Parkway and San Fernando Road suffered the effects of long-term erosion and pounding storms last winter. Water gushes through concrete-lined channels with tremendous force during and after storms. The section under repair is terraced like a series of little waterfalls. Flood control channels reduce erosion on the riverbanks and help to protect bridges above the waterways. The official rainy season starts Saturday and ends April 15, said Mark Lindemann, a senior public works inspector for the city. The work may appear to spill over to the bike trail under Magic Mountain Parkway, but Lindemann said the trail will remain intact, ready to host runners during the upcoming Santa Clarita Marathon. Ken Pellman, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, said the nearly $1.1 million project began in August and should be complete by the end of October. The faulty section lies under Six Flags California’s Magic Mountain on the South Fork River, a tributary of the Santa Clara River, just west of San Fernando Road. A short distance away, the rivers meet. Pellman said if the damage is not fixed, the effects of the rushing water would be magnified when the stream joined the larger body of riverbed.

Drake (36-14, 21-2 MVC), which trailed 5-4 going into its final at bat against Missouri State (28-19, 12-10 MVC), erased the deficit with a five-run seventh inning when it sent nine batters to the plate. The comeback win clinched back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference Regular Season titles for the first-time ever in program history. Newman struck out the first Bear in the seventh, allowed a single to the next batter, but quickly got the final two outs to seal the comeback. The win improved her record to 23-6, her 23 wins are second all-time in program history and the most wins by a Bulldog pitcher since Laurie Bowden won a record 28 in 1990. Newman allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits with one walk and 11 strikeouts. She allowed two earned runs in a game for just the fifth time all season. PDF Box Score Story Links Three batters later, Drake took the lead on a fielder’s choice by Abby Buie (Gardner, Kan.) that scored two runs. Buie battled Bears starter Steffany Dickerson in an eight pitch at-bat finally hitting a bouncing ball at Dickerson that she charged and tried to flip home to get Newman who slid in safely. Buie then raced to second base and drew a throw by Dickerson that allowed Gabbie Jonas (Omaha, Neb.), who had reached base in the previous at-bat by on a fielder’s choice, to sprint home and slide around another tag attempt. The Bulldogs’ next hitter, Libby Ryan (Mount Vernon, Iowa) put the game away with a two-run home run over the left field fence. Nicole Newman (Madison, Wis.), who allowed her first earned runs in the circle since March 26 at Nebraska, tied the game at 5-all with an RBI single to right center that scored Kennedy Frank (Chesterfield, Mo.). Frank led off the frame with a walk and moved to second on Taryn Pena’s (Columbia, Ill.) single to left field. Mandi Roemmich (West Des Moines, Iowa) led the offense with a three-hit performance, including a clutch bases-clearing fourth inning double that tied the game at 3-3. Newman and Ryan each had two hits and two runs batted in. As a team, Drake had 10 hits and overcame a season-tying three errors in the field. Box Score SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The Drake University softball team rallied for a 9-5 win over Missouri State Sunday, April 28 in its final regular season road game. Drake hosts Iowa State Wednesday night at 6 p.m. in the first of its final four regular season games.

An increase in the number of road traffic accidents over the Bank Holiday Weekend has prompted senior Gardai to issue a plea to motorists.Donegal has suffered one serious accident which occurred on Friday evening when two women received serious but non-life threatening injuries in Glenswilly.Across the country, a number of people have lost their lives in a series of horrific crashes. An Garda Síochána are reminding all road users and motorists, in particular, to be extra careful for the remainder of this June Bank Holiday Weekend.A spokesperson for Gardai in Donegal said they are having a busy weekend with a number of detections already.“A number of road traffic offences have been detected so far this Bank Holiday weekend within the Donegal Division…drink driving is still an issue as is speeding.“We all want to have a nice Bank holiday weekend and nobody wants to hear of a tragedy on our roads this weekend so please heed the speed limits, do not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, wear your seatbelts and do not use/hold your mobile phone while driving. “There are checkpoints countywide all weekend and we hope that the sun will come out before the end of the Bank holiday weekend rather than our notebooks having to.”Speaking earlier today, Assistant Commissioner David Sheahan – Roads Policing & Major Event Management issued a further safety appeal.He warned motorists “Be mindful of the changing weather conditions that impact on road surfaces, never ever drink and drive, reduce your speed and arrive alive to prevent any further tragedy on our roads.”Members of the Garda Roads Policing Unit will continue to target intoxicated driving along with other killer behaviours such as speeding, mobile phone use and non-wearing of seatbelts across the roads network over the June Bank Holiday.Gardai appeal to motorists after Bank Holiday road carnage was last modified: June 4th, 2019 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:crashDEATHSdonegalsafetyWarning
