The problem is with this idea (cap on foreign players within the Premiership) is that it’s the “English” premiership and therefore would make no difference to Worthington’s Northern Ireland team as they are effectively foreigners as far as the English Football Association is concerned. The other home nations all have their own associations & leagues and are for the most part entirely separate entities.

From the page: “Women with curvy figures are likely to be brighter than waif-like counterparts and may well produce more intelligent offspring, a US study suggests.
Researchers studied 16,000 women and girls and found the more voluptuous performed better on cognitive tests – as did their children.”

The striking enigma of David Healy.
“How can we explain the Healy conundrum? Is it because he can play for only one manager? No, Northern Ireland have had three in his time? Is it because he is the Ian Paisley of football, a man who exists for Ulster alone. No, he is desperate to succeed at club level. Is it because it is harder to score in the Premier League than at international level? No, he has played most of his games outside the top flight. The simple answer is that there is no answer. David Healy, you are an international man of mystery, a riddle wrapped in a Rubik’s cube, and for that we salute you.”

From the page: ” The sheer propensity of mainstream humans to congregate in targetable, virulent, and roaming electronic social packs has resulted in spawning a beautiful new breed of working class public relations heroes: ‘The Social Media Czars.’ ”
Marty has a bit of a rant.

Mark from 45n5 has a spot of bother with his sites after a hacker compromised his Dreamhost server and loses all his Google traffic to those sites in an instant.
Mark’s (repeated) lesson – don’t rely just on Google’s traffic.
Croni is the brains behind 103bees which is one of my favourite stats/analytics services.

Jeremy only almost peed his pants when he saw that Bruce Stirling had featured his work on the Wired blog.
Come on wired, please try harder and make him wet himself good and proper next time.
Seriously though, his art work is amazing.
