| Taylor signs on for Wanderers
Last week it was reported other teams were in for this guy, then I thought we have no chance then, but to my suprise Bolton Wanderers have come up trumps. All we need now is a quality midfielder who has a good engine on him who can from box to box like Roy Keane used to. Not to mention a out and out striker is needed, desperately. Come on Megson & Bolton Board get your money spent on a good un!! .
Political background to the CPE protests
We are reposting the following series of articles on the revolt of the French working class in November-December 1995 in the hope that it will help to clarify the political background to the present upheaval in that country. The ongoing revolt by millions of youth and workers is a further response to the effort by the French ruling class to slash or eliminate entirely the social gains made in decades of struggle. In November-December 1995, the working class revolted against efforts by the right-wing regime of Prime Minister Alain Juppé to reform the social security system, just as today the government of Dominique de Villepin is reforming Frances labor laws. In 1995 millions of workers, led by the transport workers in particular, rejected the claims made by the government and the media and recognized the maneuver for what it wasan attempt to shift the burden of the social costs on to the back of the working population.
Exhibitions evoke signs of ruin, scars of war
A written agreement and some tax receipts completed the work when Kos loaned it to the Richmond Art Center on condition that the institution cover his minuscule property tax for the duration of the show. Conceptual art looks easy - seemingly anything goes - only until a good example come to hand. Take Kos' "Canary/Coal(Wait for a Song)" (2007). A big lump of coal sits in the pan of a shovel whose handle takes the form of a long bamboo rod, so long that its far end serves as a branchlike perch for a stuffed canary. Probably not meant for precise decoding, the sculpture touches energy-crisis-consciousness at several points, while relaying aesthetic echoes of "arte povera," the Italian tendency that awakened the social meanings in overlooked materials and objects.

Prediction roundup: Book Arizona
I think Rivers will play. The key will be how well the Chargers' two lines can handle the Patriots. I think they can have success on both sides. Look for LaDainian Tomlinson to run for 100 yards and keep the sticks moving. The San Diego defense will tackle well and keep Randy Moss in front of them. In the end, though, the Patriots are just too good. Tom Brady throws for three more scores and the Patriots will get to 18-0. Jeff Zillgitt, USA Today: Patriots 35, Chargers 20. With a backup quarterback, a backup running back and a star tight end playing on basically one leg, San Diego beat the Colts in Indianapolis. Impressive indeed, especially San Diego's defense, which is why the Chargers are in this game. But where does that leave the Chargers against the Patriots? In a tough spot, even if Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson play.
Rudd turns a new page for Labor
Mr Rudd says Australians had looked to the future in placing their trust in him and his team. "Today Australia has looked to the future," he said. "Today the Australian people have decided that we as a nation will move forward." "We should celebrate and honour the way we conduct this great Australian democracy of ours, and it's been on display tonight," he said. Casualties While Mr Howard shapes as the biggest casualty for the Coalition, other high-profile ministers are also look like losing their seats. One definite casualty was Mal Brough, the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. He suffered a swing against him of more than 10 per cent to lose the seat of Longman, on the northern fringe of Brisbane.
Democrats Are Hocking Their Agenda As If They Were at a Fire Sale
At the weekend, well over 100,000 anti-war protesters gathered around the country to protest about the occupation of Iraq. The demands of the demonstrations chimed with the views of most Americans. Polls show a consistent and substantial majority oppose the war and want the troops withdrawn immediately or soon. Indeed, at 34%, the proportion of Americans who support the war is identical to the proportion polled last week who believe in ghosts and UFOs. Despite Iraq remaining the number one priority among voters, none of the leading Democratic presidential contenders appeared at any of the marches. Primary season is an ideal moment to examine the relationship between the different parties and their core supporters. Come the presidential elections, both sides will have to tack to the centre in a bid for coveted swing voters.
