Something else... he will add some of that aggressiveness that madrid need... He will spank those bit*"s, and yeah im sick off primadonnas...

Good move!

"All his skills..." Yeah, all two of them. Decent distribution and ordinary tackling. Worth every penny of the 2M pounds Madrid spent. Saviour my arse - you'll soon see how ordinary he is when you don't put someone like Carsley or Tofting next to him. Madrid are planning on playing Gravesen behind Zidane, no?

If Gravesen is so good, how could he lose out twice to a 17 year old and a 20 year old, both about half his size?

Salem schools chief proposes random drug tests for some students

By Kathleen Burge, Globe Staff | January 13, 2005

Salem's school superintendent has said he will form a task force to investigate how the school district can carry out random drug testing of students who participate in sports and other extracurricular activities, according to The Salem News.

Superintendent Herbert Levine said the region's epidemic of heroin and prescription drug abuse warrants the push for drug testing.

"We can't just sit back any longer and expect this thing is going to go away, because it doesn't," Levine told the paper.

Sarah Wunsch, staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, said her group would challenge any plan to randomly test public school students for drugs.

"I think . . . they shouldn't go down that path," Wunsch said. "It's probably going to be found unconstitutional in Massachusetts if they tried to propose it."

Levine made his announcement Monday at Salem High School, at a forum on the region's drug epidemic. The event was attended by more than 1,200 people. Levine's son Joel, 20, also spoke about his own recovery from an addiction to OxyContin.

Levine acknowledged that the testing plan would not be popular among students.

"Let them be upset, let them moan and complain," The Salem News quoted Levine as saying. "But let them live."

Law enforcement officials said there were 39 confirmed cases of fatal opiate overdoses in Essex County last year.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officials are working to increase drug abuse awareness. Today, Essex District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett and Sheriff Frank Cousins will host a meeting on the region's drug epidemic.

The US Supreme Court has said schools can require drug tests for students who participate in extracurricular activities, but the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has not considered the issue. In other cases, the SJC has occasionally ruled that the state's constitution offers greater protection of individual rights than the US Constitution.

If you mean Arsenal's young midfield duo, then you can say that about practically every player in the premiership. But switch 20-year old with a Vieira with the ****tiest form ever.

[IceBlu]

I tremble in fear of Madrid if Gravesen is THE player to save them. Now we can just start Fabregas and Flamini and we're all set to win the Champions League, yeah?

You're saying like Gravesen will be the one and only player for madrid. But youre forgetting, Madrid didnt buy a galactico for this position, they bought a normal DM, who is willing to fight for the ball. Guti isnt a DM, neither is Beckham, and yet we're second in La liga. Gravesen will just balance the team a bit more, and he is definately better at that position than Beckham or Guti.
Seems like you're all used to Real buying celebrities, that you forget that they are able to buy normal players too .

edit: Bobby, is that the car in which you make gay love to Kiraly?

I haven't implied anything about Gravesen being a big-name signing, YOU Madrid fans have. Read the previous posts. It's like, "Ooh, Gravesen, what position does he play? DM? He must be good then!"

I'm willing to wager that none of the Madrid fans here have seen him play - he's nothing special, and certainly not top-class. But the was you guys are making him out to be, he's better than Gerrard, Vieira and Emerson combined.

Dow Closes Up 62, While Nasdaq Rises 13
01.12.2005, 04:33 PM

Stocks moved higher in choppy trading Wednesday as investors focused on strong earnings news from Intel Corp. instead of a government report that high oil prices and lower exports had pushed the U.S. trade deficit to a record level.

According to preliminary results, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 61.56, or 0.58 percent, at 10,617.78, making most of its gains in the final hour of trading.

The broader gauges were also higher. The Standard & Poor's 500 index added 4.71, or 0.40 percent, to 1,187.70. The Nasdaq composite index rose 12.91, or 0.62 percent, to 2,092.53.

Anxiety about Wall Street's slow start to the year has made some investors wary of making big bets as a number of companies prepare to release quarterly earnings, and a mixed bag of reports and outlooks did little to build confidence. It made for a confusing market on Wednesday, as stocks meandered in and out of positive territory, but most analysts remained upbeat about the prospects for 2005.

"The start of the year has been difficult, but at the end of the day I think the fundamentals of the economy are intact," said Brian Pears, head equity trader at Victory Capital Management in Cleveland. "The earnings season will probably shape up pretty well, so it seems the selling is based more on what happened in November and December than on the future. So for that reason I'm pretty bullish"

In Washington, the Commerce Department said America's trade deficit soared to an all-time high of $60.3 billion in November, reflecting record levels for imports of everything from oil and consumer goods to farm products. The 7.7 percent rise from an imbalance of $56 billion in October beat the previous monthly record, and caught economists by surprise; they'd forecast a slight narrowing of the trade gap.

The news prompted weakness in the dollar, which dropped sharply against the euro and other world currencies after the deficit data was released. Treasury Secretary John Snow has said repeatedly the Bush administration supports a "strong dollar" policy, but some analysts believe the U.S. government is content to see the dollar fall because it makes U.S. exports cheaper.

The unexpected widening in the trade gap also led to a bounce in gold and, initially, oil prices, which were also moving on the government's weekly report on fuel inventories. The Department of Energy found a 3 million barrel drop in crude supplies, a deeper decline than analysts had expected, but a 1.9 million barrel build in distillate fuels, which include heating oil. Light, sweet crude for February delivery added 69 cents to settle at $46.37 per barrel.

But analysts say what might matter more for investors is the next batch of earnings reports, which could set the tone for the rest of 2005.

"I think if we can get some solid earnings numbers coming up, we can see which way the market wants to go," said Stephen Carl, head of equity trading at The Williams Capital Group. "Conversely, if there's a lot of disappointment in the reports, we'll see where we don't want it to go. We just have to play wait and see for a while."

Chip maker Intel rose 62 cents to $23.16 after beating Wall Street earnings estimates by 2 cents a share and reporting stronger than expected revenues on strong holiday sales of computer and cell phone chips. It also issued an optimistic outlook for the first quarter.

Hospital operator HCA Inc. surged 10 percent, or $4.02, to $43.70, after the company raised its profit forecast for the fourth quarter, thanks to lower than expected debt expenses and a reduction in its tax rate. HCA also reiterated its projected earnings for the 2005 year.

OfficeMax Inc. tumbled 4.7 percent, or $1.42, to $28.88, after saying its earnings report would be postponed pending an internal accounting probe. The office supplies retailer also announced the resignation of its chief financial officer, who was stepping down after only two months on the job; the former CFO will return on an interim basis while OfficeMax seeks a permanent replacement.

United Parcel Service Inc. slid 7.4 percent, or $6.12, to $77.18, after the company lowered its fourth-quarter earnings forecast, citing higher costs and an unexpected slowdown in post-Christmas package volume. Rival FedEx Corp. was down 94 cents at $94.47 after reiterating its outlook for the quarter, saying it had experienced a strong holiday season and continued to see favorable conditions and demand for its services.

Pharmaceuticals maker Mylan Laboratories Inc. was up 40 cents at $17.57 after appearing to back away from a contentious bid to take over King Pharmaceuticals Inc. Citing King's plans to restate more than two years of earnings, Mylan said it is unlikely the company will be able to complete the $4 billion stock deal. King lost 82 cents to $11.17.

Decliners outnumbered advancing issues by about 5 to 4 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Russell 2000 index, which tracks smaller company stocks, was up 1.66, or 0.27 percent, at 613.19.

Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average shed 0.75 percent. In Europe, France's CAC-40 lost 0.85 percent, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.73 percent and Germany's DAX index closed down 1.16 percent.
