Sorry, we're having problems with our video player at the moment, but are working to fix it as soon as we can
JASON GILLESPIE’s departure as Yorkshire’s first-team coach, after five years in charge of the county champions, had been on the cards for some time.
Earlier this summer, Gillespie’s wife, Anna, and their four children moved back to Adelaide in Australia.
HEADING OUT: Yorkshire first-team coach, pictured at Headingley in November last year. Picture: Bruce Rollinson
It would be a strange marriage that could survive for several months apart on opposite sides of the world, although, on second thoughts, some couples would probably relish that thought.
Flippancy aside, Yorkshire had hoped to get at least one more year out of Gillespie, whose future had been the subject of regular speculation since he took the job in 2011.
Since then, the former Australia fast bowler has helped the club to one County Championship promotion and to back-to-back Championship titles, with the prospect of a hat-trick to follow next month.
Under Gillespie, Yorkshire have also twice reached NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day and successive Royal London Cup semi-finals, although, after 14 years without a one-day trophy, they have yet to crack limited-overs cricket in quite the same way.
IT'S OURS: Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale and coach Jason Gillespie celebrate with the County Championship trophy at Trent Bridge back in 2014. Pictures: SWpix.
Gillespie’s track record, however, speaks for itself (Yorkshire have lost only five of 76 Championship games since his arrival), and he has been linked with practically more international coaching positions than there are jobs vacant.
There are many observers –this correspondent included –who thought that he should have got the England job last year, an opinion that has not been altered by progress under Trevor Bayliss.
Gillespie has also been linked with international positions back home, where his great friend and former team-mate Darren Lehmann is in charge of the Australia side.
Gillespie already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers, and potential moves for him now could include international cricket/the Indian Premier League.
CHEERS, I'LL BE OFF THEN: Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will leave the club after five years at the end of this season.
Although Yorkshire will be sad to see him go, it was a case of ‘when’, not ‘if’, Gillespie left.
The time would seem right for him not only from a family perspective, but also, one suspects, from a cricketing point of view.
Gillespie has probably taken Yorkshire as far as he can; their performances in the Championship this summer have actually tailed off a touch, although they have been more affected by injuries than in recent seasons, and they go into the final four matches just five points behind leaders Middlesex.
But it has not been the dominant campaign that many had hoped, although the end result is all that counts, and the players will be doubly determined to give Gillespie a successful send-off.
THRILLED: Jason Gillespie watches from the Lords balcony as the County Championship title is retained, despite the triumph being accompanied by defeat against hosts Middlesex.
Yorkshire’s magnificent pace attack is not getting any younger, and although there is no reason to suspect that the current side cannot aim to stretch their run of titles to at least four or five in a row, Yorkshire must soon face such unpalatable questions as: “Exactly how do you replace Ryan Sidebottom?”
Sport moves in cycles, and Gillespie has been part of a golden cycle at Yorkshire. He will leave with the thanks of the club’s supporters, who already respected him for what he achieved as a player.
As a key member of the great Australia side of the Nineties and Noughties, Gillespie took 402 international wickets. As a coach, it is noticeable that he never speaks about that success, or indeed seeks credit for Yorkshire’s recent triumphs.
He appreciates that it is players who win silverware first and foremost, and that support staff, in a nutshell, are exactly what that term would imply.
Gillespie’s coaching methods would seem quite simple: he does not over-complicate the game, but encourages his players to perform with freedom and to try to take the positive option.
He recognises the importance of making sure that the players believe that the coach believes in them, and his style is more arm-around-the-shoulder than ranter-and-raver.
Like all in sport, however, he hides a tough streak, although never quite to the extent that it masks a cheerful personality for too long.
At heart, he is a thoroughly decent chap: friendly, personable, and with time for all.
Even his infamous comments about the dairy industry, which he suggested earlier this summer should be closed down as it does not tie in with his vegan views, betrayed that decency and caring disposition, even if they were not shared by everyone – not least the Yorkshire sponsors, Wensleydale Cheese.
Yorkshire will not replace him easily, but a team of talented cricketers will cope.
Gillespie himself has seen to it, by helping to create a culture that will not be broken just because the time has come for him to say goodbye.

Chris Waters: Time is right for Jason Gillespie to bid farewell to Yorkshire CCC

Don’t act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you. In my experience, there is no such thing as luck. Partially, but it also obeys your commands. I want to come with you to Alderaan. There’s nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and be a Jedi, like my father before me. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
Still, she’s got a lot of spirit. I don’t know, what do you think? What!? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan– What good is a reward if you ain’t around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain’t my idea of courage. It’s more like…suicide.
You don’t believe in the Force, do you? Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him. I call it luck. Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going. What?! The Force is strong with this one. I have you now.
We hire people who want to make the best things in the world. -Steve Jobs
She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There’ll be no one to stop us this time! You’re all clear, kid. Let’s blow this thing and go home! Partially, but it also obeys your commands.
Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine.
He is here.
Don’t underestimate the Force.
I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him. But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!

I can’t get involved! I’ve got work to do! It’s not that I like the Empire, I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now. It’s such a long way from here. Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed. I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly…
Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them. He is here. What?! Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. I’m trying not to, kid.

Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you. Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. He is here. Ye-ha! I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.

I expect to be well paid. I’m in it for the money. A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that’s what you’re best at, ain’t it? Alderaan? I’m not going to Alderaan. I’ve got to go home. It’s late, I’m in for it as it is. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.

I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine. You’re all clear, kid. Let’s blow this thing and go home! I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. I’m trying not to, kid.

The affordable housing crisis is causing a healthcare crisis in the East Bay, and Oakland is the epicenter. That's according to Dr. Muntu Davis, the director of the Alameda County Public Health Department.In a conference room in Oakland's City Hall today, Davis presented the results of a recently conducted survey of Alameda County health workers about the housing challenges faced by their clients: thousands of low-income, senior, and disabled people, many who are Oakland renters. According to the survey, thousands of renters are over-crowding into into unsafe housing units. Many Oakland residents are now paying a majority of their income on rent. Evictions, displacement, and homelessness are rising. Children's educations are being interrupted by frequent moves. Commutes are becoming longer. Social networks and family ties are fraying and breaking. Collective stress is boiling over.The health outcomes, which Davis described as a having reached "crisis" levels, can be seen in rising numbers of hospitalizations for hypertension, mental health emergencies, asthma attacks, and numerous other illnesses that shorten people's lives."While the causes and solutions to address the housing crisis are complex, inaction is a prescription for shorter, sicker lives for many of our Alameda County Residents," concluded Davis in policy brief published today.Kalima Rose, a researcher with the nonprofit PolicyLink, said the Bay Area is undergoing a period of intense job and population growth, but the supply of housing, especially rental units that the bottom half of wage earners can afford, hasn't kept pace.Uber is expected to move 3,000 jobs into Oakland next year. The tech company's arrival is a symbol of the tens of thousands of more affluent newcomers flooding into Oakland. Other companies employing highly paid professionals are rapidly growing throughout the Bay Area. At the same time wages for half the population are stagnating. Inequality is growing.Unable to compete in the new housing market of hyper-scarcity, Oakland's working class is being squeezed into substandard, crowded accommodations, or pushed out of the city entirely. The dynamic is hitting Black and Latino households especially hard.Rose recently surveyed rental apartment listings in Oakland and found zero units being offered at rents affordable to a person earning the city's $12.25 minimum wage.Entry level teachers who earn $42,497 a year also can't afford Oakland. In fact, Rose's examination of rental listings shows zero units currently being offered that are affordable, measured as renting for one-third of a teacher's after-tax monthly income."Very little intervention supportive of tenants has taken place," Rose said about Oakland's housing laws and programs.Alameda County's $580 million affordable housing bond, Proposition A1, will help some avoid displacement, she said. Oakland's Measure JJ, which would strengthen rent control and extend just cause eviction protections to 10,561 more apartments, would also increase affordability and fight displacement.But still, Oakland has been losing its lower-income renters and homeowners for over a decade, especially Black families who are being priced out of rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods like West Oakland and Eastlake. Approximately 34,000 Black residents moved out of Oakland between 2000 and 2010, according to the U.S. Census. Numbers for the past six years haven't been tabulated yet by demographers, said Rose, but many believe the pace of Black displacement has picked up."We know that the rate of [Black displacement] that was marked in 2010 is at least as much now, if not more," Rose said.

click to enlarge Images of a possible Raiders dome stadium in Las Vegas.
Yesterday, thereported that the Oakland Raiders “have new and unreleased rendered images of what a Coliseum stadium might look like at 66th Avenue.”More information has emerged about these images.Scott McKibben, executive director of the Oakland-Alameda County Joint Powers Authority, told thetoday that he saw the drawings during a meeting with the Raiders nearly a year ago."These were just a couple of drawings that were on easel boards in the conference room as we were having a meeting with the Raider ownership and management," he explained. "They were more to show to us what was their view of what the stadium would look like in certain geographic parcels of our property."One of them is football-only. One is with football on the south side and a baseball facility on the north side, and so on. These are nothing more than I'm sure the Raiders saying, 'Okay, there's 125 acres of land there. We need approximately 80 to 85 acres for parking, the arena's gonna stay, so where are we thinking about putting our stadium? What might that stadium look like with that being 55,000 seats?'"The team has yet to publicly release these images. Raiders spokesperson Will Kiss didn’t immediately respond to an email to discuss or release the images."To the best of my knowledge, those drawings have never left the conference room of the Raiders center," McKibben said.Zennie Abraham, an Oakland video blogger who has extensively covered the Raiders’ stadium saga, told thethat the rumored drawings "are at Raiders headquarters. They're not renderings that somebody has on a PDF or a JPEG that are on some file that somebody's holding at the city."Because I can guarantee you, if they were, one of those city people would have leaked them.”Meanwhile, the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee released renderings this morning for a Raider stadium in Las Vegas, just before it met for five hours to discuss the plan. Forbes reported that the Raiders filed for a trademark of “Las Vegas Raiders” on August 20 McKibben said he most recently spoke with Raiders owner Mark Davis six to eight weeks ago. McKibben remains optimistic. “We've got a great relationship with the Raiders,” he said. “We just had training meetings with them all week. We're just kind of now waiting for an appraisal to get done on the property and for prospective developers and people that are interested in teaming up with the Raiders of putting a package together for a new stadium.”Look for a cover story on the Raiders before the NFL season begins.

Last week, my cover story in thetackled the issue of cultural appropriation in the East Bay restaurant scene — and how the unequal distribution of media hype allows certain chefs who decide to take up a new “ethnic” cuisine to attain far more fame and success than that food’s native practitioners. In the interest of moving that conversation forward, a few readers asked me to put together a list of restaurants run by people of color who do have direct cultural connections the food that they’re serving — a kind of “If you like X, you should try Y instead” guide for the “woke” diner. While this is right up my alley (see last year's list of "Ten Quintessential Oakland Restaurants" ), I also don’t want to set up some kind of false binary wherein a certain kind of mom-and-pop restaurant is good, and therefore the ones run by non-native, pedigreed chefs areand shouldn’t be supported.Look: There are tricky power dynamics at play here. But I’m not opposed to culinary innovation, or to chefs expanding their knowledge base by immersing themselves in a new cuisine, or to the kind of cross-pollination that takes place when this is done in a thoughtful way. My hope is just to tone down some of the hype — or to at least distribute it in a more equitable way.In any case, in the spirit of shining a light on restaurants that don’t get their fair share of attention, and even a few that (deservedly) do, here are just some of the East Bay restaurants that you need to visit at least once if you’re a fan of global cuisines.Since my cover story may have put you in the mood for kebabs, let’s start with(332 14th St., Oakland, 510-286-1900), arguably the king of Oakland’s vibrant Afghan dining scene. The grilled meats might get top billing, but it’s the(stuffed flatbread) and the meat-juice-infused rice dish known asthat keep me coming back.One of the things that frustrates me about the national publications’ coverage of the Oakland’s dining renaissance is that you can read an entire article, complete with a glossy photo spread, and not even realize that Oakland is one of the best places in the entire country to eat Burmese food and Laotian food. For the former, head to(2248 10th Ave., Oakland, 925-566-4877), where, tucked in a residential neighborhood, you’ll find the most uncompromising, and most delicious, versions of Burmese classics such as tea leaf salad. For the latter,(3801 Allendale Ave., Oakland, 510-535-2218) offers the most exciting rice ball salad and crispy-skinned fermented sausage. After you’re done there, head to(2300 Webster St., Oakland, 510-832-8896), where Michelin two-star recipient James Syhabout has been going ever deeper, without apology, in his exploration of the bold flavors and traditional recipes of his Lao heritage. (You’ve probably been to Hawker Fare already. Having had some contact with traditional Lao cooking will make the experience that much richer.)The East Bay is lucky to be home to cuisines you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the country.(352 14th St., Oakland, 510-922-1286) is one of the small number of traditional Mongolian eateries in the United States. It boasts a Mongolian chef and, not buffet-style “barbecue,” but an array of traditional Mongolian dishes — mostly dumplings, noodles, and meat stews. And in Chinatown,(261A 10th St., Oakland, 510-250-9333) is one of the only places in the country that serves its titular rice noodle dish — a specialty of the Guangxi province of China.Other restaurants get overlooked in large part because of their location. Both Masala Cuisine (7912 International Blvd., Oakland), my favorite mom-and-pop Indian eatery in the East Bay, and(6638 Bancroft Ave., Oakland, 510-938-2000) — which serves the most delicious Cameroonian/West African food I’ve ever had — are well worth the trek to Deep East Oakland.(2608 Market St., Oakland, 510-501-3969) serves fantasticandin an unexpected stretch of West Oakland. And, for those who rightfully complain that we’re often too Oakland-centric in our coverage,(821 Sycamore Ave., Hayward, 510-200-9504) and(14807 E. 14th St., San Leandro) are destination restaurants in the southern reaches of the East Bay — for homestyle Tongan and Filipino food, respectively.And did you know that some of the very best food in the Bay Area is served from the confines of a liquor/convenience store? Try the Puerto Ricanat Borinquen Soul (2020 MacArthur Ave., Oakland, inside Two Star Market) or theat(3630 Barrett Ave., Richmond, inside Val-Mar Market), and tell me if you aren’t convinced.Finally, lest we fall into the trap of thinking that all “ethnic” food needs to be served in some cheap dive, let’s remember that some of Oakland’s most well known restaurants — places fancy enough for a special occasion — fit into this category as well:and(for Jamaican and pan-Caribbean, respectively),and(Japanese),(Korean),(Indian), and the aforementionedFor those of us who live in the East Bay, these are the places we bring out-of-town guests when we feel like showing off.

Removing chilies from the fish soup at King Tsin — now "Sichuan Style."
Welcome to the Mid-Week Menu, our roundup of East Bay food news. Regular What the Fork readers may have noticed my absence from these interwebs for the past couple of weeks, but now that I’m back, let’s get caught up.1) Berkeleyside Nosh got the first word on the new restaurant that will take over for Antoinette — the short-lived, spectacular failure that it was — at Oakland’s Claremont Club & Spa: Limewood Bar & Restaurant will be a little bit less expensive and more down to earth, according to the general manager, and it appears that chef Joseph Humphrey (most recently of The Advocate) will ditch Antoinette’s French brasserie theme — despite the hotel’s previous statements to the contrary — for more of a straightforward California cuisine approach. Inside Scoop has a peek at the opening menu, which includes such dishes as mussel and corn chowder ($12), a stuffed lamb chop ($32), and an assortment of canapés. Limewood will open for dinner on Tuesday, August 30.2) Good news for fans of Pal’s Take Away : The recently itinerant sandwich shop has found a new temporary home at Forage Kitchen (478 25th St.), the soon-to-open kitchen incubator in Uptown Oakland, Eater reports. Pal’s will operate the cafe at Forage at least to start out. As of this posting, it’s unclear how long of an arrangement Pal’s owner Jeff Mason has worked out with Forage.3) A brief public service announcement so that fans of the outstanding Sichuan fare at Berkeley’s King Tsin (1699 Solano Ave.) aren’t alarmed when they see that the restaurant has been marked as “closed” on Yelp: As a poster on the food discussion forum Hungry Onion reported, the restaurant recently changed its name to “Sichuan Style.” It’s too early to say for sure, but it seems like a smart move — it wasn’t obvious before that the forty-plus-year-old restaurant had been reinvented as a Sichuan restaurant. From a recent visit, I can confirm personally that the restaurant is indeed still open, and that the food and service are as good as ever.4) The news has been out for a while, but if you haven't heard, Inside Scoop first reported the details on the Cal-Mexican restaurant Nido’s (444 Oak St., Oakland) new project, Nido’s Backyard, which will be centered on a large outdoor wood-fire adobe grill located just a few doors down from the restaurant’s current location. Look for the new restaurant to debut sometime before the end of the year.5) Sadly, Berkeleyside Nosh reports that Bonita Fish Market (1941 University Ave., Berkeley) appears to have closed, though it’s unclear whether it’s on a permanent basis. The shop had the distinction of being the only fishermen-owned fish markets I knew of in the area.6) One more closing in Berkeley: Berkeleyside Nosh reports that the cafe portion of the Berkeley branch of Flour & Co. (whose original location is in San Francisco) has shuttered due to lack of business. The wholesale bakery and catering components of the business will continue to operate.7) In this week’s What the Fork column , Cynthia Salaysay writes about a new web series aimed at demystifying cooking Indian food. She also takes a closer look Ramen Shop’s new Japanese/Asian-inspired morning pastry program.8) And finally, in case you missed it, I wrote this week’s Express cover story — on pedigreed chefs, media hype, cultural appropriation, and how to cook other people’s food in a more respectful way. Please read it!

Rebecca Kaplan.
Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan is crying foul over a voter survey that attacks her and falsely implies that one of her opponents has racked up two influential endorsements.The survey, distributed via email to an unknown number of Oakland voters, contains eight statements "from supporters of Peggy Moore for Oakland City Council." Respondents are asked to rank whether or not the statements are "compelling" reasons to vote for Moore.Moore, a senior advisor to Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, is one of seven candidates trying to unseat Kaplan for the at-large seat."For years, current councilmember Rebecca Kaplan has presided over a city that has become less and less affordable and livable," reads one of the statements. "As a longtime renter who understands the importance of keeping Oakland affordable, Peggy Moore will fight to increase affordable housing and sustainable, transit-oriented development in Oakland."The survey claims that Kaplan "has few real accomplishments to show from her 15 years as a politician."The survey also states that Peggy Moore is "supported" by Congresswoman Barbara Lee and Assemblymember Tony Thurmond.But both Barbara Lee and Assemblymember Tony Thurmond deny endorsing Moore."It is wrong to lie to the voters and pretend to be conducting a neutral poll when what you really are doing is circulating a hit piece attacking one candidate to support another," said Oakland Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan.The Moore campaign confirmed that they paid for the survey.But Christman Bowers, Moore's campaign manager, told thethat they had no part in writing the questions. Bowers said it's common for candidates to commission these types of polls in order to see what kinds of messaging works with voters. He characterized the statement claiming Moore is supported by Lee and Thurmond as a "hypothetical.""We don’t have the support of Congresswoman Barbara Lee, yet, or the assemblymember," he said. Bowers added it was not Moore's intention to mislead any potential voters.Ruth Bernstein of EMC Research, the firm that is conducting the survey for Moore's campaign, told thethat they sent out a follow-up message to people who completed the survey clarifying that Moore doesn't have the endorsement of Congresswoman Lee or Assemblymember Thurmond."It may not have been worded clearly enough and we will probably be doing some clarification," Bernstein said. "Unfortunately, that sometimes happens in the rush of a campaign."Kaplan, however, asserted that the survey amounts to campaign activity like an advertisement, not a scientific poll. She said the survey should have included information about who paid for it. Kaplan worries that some Oakland voters might have been misled about who has won the endorsement of Lee and Thurmond."We are on pretty sure footing that this was a poll that was commissioned," said Christman. "It’s not a robo-call, a canvas, or a door-knock and the number of people the poll was sent to pales in comparison to rising to the occasion of being considered voter engagement."Bernstein and Christman would not say how many people received the poll, but Christman said it was in the hundreds.

The Oakland Police Officers Association made a maximum $1,400 campaign contribution to Viola Gonzalez last week, according to a disclosure form filed with the city clerk. Gonzales is running against incumbent Noel Gallo for the Oakland City Council District Five seat.Gallo first ran for city council in 2012 on a law-and-order platform that included strengthening the city's police force. At a public forum last week, Gallo said hiring more cops is still a major priority for him. He wants to increase the number of sworn police officers from the current 744 to as many as 850.But the police officers' union appears to be upset with Gallo because of his support for a sweeping police reform measure Gallo is co-author of a ballot measure that would establish an independent civilian police oversight commission. If approved by voters in November, the new commission would be able to investigate police misconduct and impose discipline on officers.OPOA strongly opposed the police commission ballot measure when it was being considered by the city council earlier this year. The union successfully lobbied to have some features gutted . Even so, if voters approve creation of the commission, it would be one of the strongest civilian oversight bodies in the nation.OPOA has spent large sums in previous elections in attempts to unseat city officials who cross swords with them. In 2012 OPOA spent tens of thousands in an unsuccessful effort to topple Rebecca Kaplan from her at-large council seat, and to prevent Barbara Parker from remaining in the city attorney's office.More recently, OPOA spent $17,583 to help Anne Campbell Washington win her District 4 seat Thewas unable to reach Noel Gallo and the Oakland Police Officers Association for comment this morning.

Tomorrow morning, the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee will meet to discuss the Oakland Raiders relocating to Las Vegas.By now, Oakland fans are probably well aware that team officials have been openly flirting with the Sin City for months. Relocation might seem like a foregone conclusion, with Raiders owner Mark Davis saying at a news conference April 28 that he wanted to turn Nevada "into the silver and black state."But don't count Oakland out just yet.Therecently learned that behind-the-scenes action is moving forward insofar as conversation between the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority and the Raiders.JPA executive director Scott McKibben has made no secret of wanting to get a new stadium built for the Raiders in Oakland.And he told thethis month that the JPA and the Raiders have new and unreleased rendered images of what a Coliseum stadium might look like at 66th Avenue.McKibben declined to provide these images to the, though he said owner Mark Davis remains committed to Oakland."Mark Davis has told me a number of times that his first option is to stay in Oakland," McKibben said. "I take Mark at his word. I believe him."McKibben added: "I do know that he feels that it's his responsibility to his team and his family and his shareholders to look at other opportunities if in fact Oakland doesn't materialize."We'll know more about these other options tomorrow. Look for an Express cover story on the Oakland stadium issue and possible Raiders relocation before the NFL season begins.

Sean Dyche has confirmed a deal for Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford is close.
Burnley are set to take the 22-year-old on loan, to add to their striking options ahead of deadline day on Wednesday.
Bamford has yet to make an appearance for the Blues, but was Championship player of the year on loan with Middlesbrough in 2014/15.
Dyche said, asked whether he was taking the player: "It's looking that way, it's not quite done but it's looking that way."
As regards further incomings, he mused: "I keep hearing all these stories, it would be nice if one of them comes true, I'd take one at the minute, it would be helpful if it was three or four."


Sean Dyche has confirmed a deal for Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford is close.


Comic, writer and self-confessed hypochondriac Dave Spikey is feeling good now he’s back on stage with his latest show.
The star and co-creator of cult television comedy “Phoenix Nights” spoke to us about his new stand-up show “Punchlines” which comes to The Muni at Colne in September.
And the Bolton-born former NHS biomedical scientist revealed how yet again his interest in all things medical proved the inspiration for his latest routine.
“I was actually in a doctor’s waiting room reading an article in the ‘Reader’s Digest’ about how our brains are a pattern making machine.
“I had a little inkling of an idea about doing a show where the punchline to jokes is revealed before the joke. We have a pattern and conclusion in our head when told a story where our brain sometimes jumps ahead.
“I thought it would be good to project a series of punchlines on a screen in the first half and then develop the story later. Telling jokes is a form of storytelling, it’s the way you weave in and out of stories that can surprise people.
“In the words of the late great comic Frank Carson ‘it’s the way you tell em.’ The tour started earlier in the year and it’s gone down really well.”
Between 2008/9 Dave toured his immensely successful show “The Best Medicine” in more than 100 venues nationwide, released a DVD of the tour and had his first book published – “He Took My Kidney, Then Broke My Heart” which took a look at ambiguous newspaper headlines which often leave themselves open to misinterpretation.
Dave also revealed how working in medicine taught him about the importance of laughing in darker moments.
Indeed, Dave admits that his most famous comic creation, the neurotic Jerry “The Saint” Sinclair from Phoenix Nights, is an extension of himself.
“I’m definitely a hypochondriac and Jerry was pretty much me to be honest. When I first entered comedy I wanted to shy away from my medical background but I realised there are a lot of funny moments there. If you didn’t laugh you’d cry working in a medical setting.”
Dave’s trip to Colne on September 29th is not the first time he has visited the town – he was greeted by a white-out when leaving the Muni some years ago.
The man who has called the north his home all his life admitted he prefers northern gigs.
“I am one of them which I think makes it easier. Having said that, I haven’t noticed a massive amount of difference with audiences over the years.
“I was initially very conscious of my accent but my fears were soon dispelled.”
Looking ahead, Dave has a cameo role in an upcoming independent film and is also penning a new comedy with Jim Cartwright.
As for Phoenix Nights, Dave doesn’t believe it will rise again although admits it still has “cult status”.
He added: “I’m very busy with this live show, writing and television appearances. Phoenix Nights has become something of a cult show but I don’t think it will return.”
“Punchlines” will show at The Muni, Colne, on Thursday, September 29th, at 7-30pm. Call 01282 661234 to book tickets.

Dave Spikey’s “Punchlines” sure to make you feel better


Comic, writer and self-confessed hypochondriac Dave Spikey is feeling good now he’s back on stage with his latest show.

F1s 2016 Limited Edition
Price: £41.99
ASIN: B01GCBP6MW
Startlingly real racing action
Yet again, Lewis Hamilton is leading the way again in the F1 stakes this year, and now you can step onto the virtual circuits in F1 2016, putting you in control of his high-speed destiny or, indeed, any of the other drivers on this year’s racing roster. This annual racing release has been tweaked and tinkered with to pull further away from the competition, delivering an excellent racing experience that handles just as brilliantly as it looks. We’ve got the introduction of the safety car and virtual safety car this year, as well as the Baku circuit in Azerbaijan and the new Haas F1 team, while under the hood there’s the usual ultra-realistic career mode for players to tackle, as you, your agent, engineer and team search for the perfect recipe for success. It’s perhaps one for seasoned drivers, offering the most intense on-track action, and will no doubt lead to a few race-ending crashes, realised in superb 1080p high definition. F1 gaming continues to feel fresh, and this 2016 iteration will give you renewed vigour to step into the pits and find your own high-speed path to glory.

Title: Tropico 5 Complete Collection
Platform: PS4
Genre: Strategy
Price: £31.99
ASIN: B01H39NXPE
An awesome island adventure
Packed with a host of new gameplay features and new artwork designed from scratch, Tropico 5 has taken the series in a new direction - dynasties! You, as El Presidente, must first take control of the infamous island of Tropico during early colonial times and then guide it through the centuries as the world changes and moves ever forward. You’ll need to tackle the changing needs of your people, as well as opposing governments and factions, all the while laying the foundations for your own dynasty. Can you survive both World Wars, prosper through the Great Depression, rule as an iron-fisted dictator through the Cold War and advance your country to modern times and beyond? From advanced trading mechanics and technology, to scientific research trees and island exploration, Tropico 5 is a fabulous tycoon experience, which sticks to the series’ well worn path with the addition of some excellent add-on packs in this PS4 Complete Collection. Whether you’re forging your own way in the ultra-liberating sandbox mode or tackling the challenges together with pals online, this is an island adventure you can’t refuse.
85%
Title: Overcooked
Platform: Xbox One
Genre: Arcade
Price: £12.79
ASIN: N/A - Download from Xbox Store
You’ll be desperate for seconds
Overcooked is a chaotic co-op cooking game that charges you to work as a team as you and your fellow chefs prepare, cook and serve up a variety of tasty orders before the baying customers storm out in a huff. In single player mode, you’ll toggle between two chefs, carefully maximising your time for all the tasks you need to complete to get your dishes prepped. You have the option of controlling both with the two controller sticks, but this is pretty tough to wrap your head around. Your cooking environments don’t make it any easier, too, as you might be slinging ingredients from one fast moving truck to another or even slipping around in an icy arctic location. The co-op local multiplayer is where the action becomes totally crazy, and you’ll need well-planned teamwork to progress through each increasingly difficult scenario. The pursuit of culinary perfection and deep strategic elements complement the fun cartoon visuals perfectly, and this is a game that’ll keep you hungry for more.
85%
Title: Reigns
Platform: iPhone/iPad
Genre: Strategy
Price: £2.29
ASIN: N/A
A strategy card game that proves it’s tough at the top
Reigns is an interesting little app concept. Essentially a leadership simulator, in your position of power you are constantly approached by people “cards” from your kingdom and must take decisions for each differing request that maintain a balance of respect from the church, the community and the army, as well as keeping your bank balance healthy. You’ll generally find your finger swiping left to answer negatively to a request and right for positive. You can also hold your swipe to see more details about what you’re about to say. Random events and special cards will also throw some tasty challenges into the mix, and as you build harmony across the board, your score (or years in charge as ruler) increases. Get it wrong, and your castle will be stormed and you’ll be killed, only to start again from scratch as a brand new leader. It’s an interesting premise with slick, simple controls that will present all sorts of dilemmas for you to deal with before you get off the bus for work!

Title: Midnight Star Renegade
Platform: iPhone/iPad
Genre: Shooter
Price: Free (with in-app purchases)
ASIN: N/A
On-rails shooter star struggles to shine
The original Midnight Star has been crunched and compressed in Renegade to try to recreate the high-energy on-rails shooter experience that worked so well first time out. Alien annihilation is the name of the game as you move through each set-piece, tapping on the screen to shoot, pinching to zoom and using other buttons on-screen to shift your viewpoint or throw grenades. Renegade forces more control upon your character by making your swipe to move as well as all the above, and it does make the action overwhelming at times. Rather than becoming fantastically frenetic, it actually makes the whole experience of bit of frustrating mess. And, with stripped back game modes, repetitive level designs and similar enemies, the boiling down of Midnight Star results in a title that may be fun for an hour or two, but quickly loses its lustre.

WHAT’S HOT AND WHAT’S NOT?
As gamers’ Pokemon Go creature collections have probably swelled significantly over the mobile app’s first few weeks of launch, the coffers of developers Niantic have become similarly stuffed. Estimates from Sensor Tower suggest that global revenues for the game have surpassed 200 million dollars in the app’s first month of availability. This commercial performance eclipses that of Clash Royale, another highly successful gaming app with in-app purchases, which registered 120 million dollars of revenue in the same time frame.
Meanwhile, in the charts this week, No Man’s Sky stormed enjoyed intergalactic sales success, debuting at the number one and nudging GTA V down to second, while Uncharted 4 also toppled down from two to five.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche felt Burnley created enough chances to have avoided an EFL Cup exit at Accrington Stanley.
Burnley were turfed out by a goal in the final minute of extra time from Matty Pearson in the first competitive meeting between the neighbouring clubs.
Dyche made 10 changes from the side that beat Liverpool on Saturday, and Dyche said: "I was really pleased with the performance in general, we created enough chances to win the game.
"In cup games, you always get a team who find a chance, and they found probably two, Popey made a good save, and they scored from a scramble at the end.
"That sometimes happens.
"We had enough chances to finish the game.
"The main thing I'm pleased with is I haven't got a young player with a broken leg.
"It was an absolutely ridiculous challenge, a red card immediately. (Shay McCartan on Aiden O'Neill). It's impossible...and one on Tarky two minutes later.
"I saw a two-footed tackle in the second half, (Paddy Lacey on Tendayi Darikwa) let go.
"I don't know where that lives in the modern game, I keep going on courses and getting told that's not allowed.
"I was amazed by the refereeing, but that's part and parcel of the game.
"That's the only thing I'm aggrieved with though, congratulations to Accrington, they rode their luck, which you have to do against teams like us, and managed to nick a goal."

Drivers are being urged to take extra care on Clitheroe


Twenty libraries and children’s centres across East Lancashire are set to face the axe.
The bombshell recommendation was made by Lancashire County Council officials shortly before 8 pm on the Friday before a Bank Holiday Weekend.
Libraries set to close include Rosegrove, Briercliffe, Barrowford, Trawden, Oswaldtwistle, Rishton, Whalley and Read.
The move has been slammed by campaigners who submitted petitions and fought for months to keep the crucial services open.
Mr Neil Martin, a spokesman for the Save Whalley Library campaign, said: “This is very disappointing news, and a great blow to the community, along with the other cuts the residents of the Ribble Valley have experienced such as bus services. I feel that the process of the consultation has not been fairly carried out and I feel our voices over saving our community asset has been left unheard officially.”
Ribble Valley resident and campaigner, Mr Ged Mirfin, was equally disappointed. He said: “Despite the tremendous/valiant efforts of our enthusiastic team of volunteers, Lancashire County Council’s officers very late on Friday night took the decision to recommend the closure of Whalley Library and Spring Wood Children’s Centre - a decision that will be ratified at Cabinet on Tuesday, September 6th - the day after children go back to school.
“Be under no illusion that this is a political decision which was taken some time in advance. Concerns raised about rural isolation, service centre provision, the impact on elderly residents and the need to service the demand created by new housing have simply been ignored.”
Under the plans, Brierfield Library has been saved from closure.

Quiz: How well do you know Chelsea v Burnley


Burnley head to Stamford Bridge hoping to be the first team to beat Antonio Conte’s Blues side.


Bunley have had a fourth offer for Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens rejected.
The latest bid is believed to be around £5.5m.
A central midfielder remains a priority, after a summer-long pursuit of both Stephens, and Derby County’s Jeff Hendrick, for whom the club have had three offers rebuffed.
Stephens was an unused substitute for Brighton in their 2-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday, and is out of contract in the summer.
But the Seagulls, who narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League in May, have shown a real determination to hold onto their star men this summer, knocking back Newcastle interest in winger Anthony Knockaert, while Crystal Palace have been offered no encouragement in their pursuit of centre back Lewis Dunk.
Burnley are expected to be busy in the build-up to Wednesday’s transfer deadline at 11 p.m.
On Saturday, Clarets boss Sean Dyche confirmed a deal for Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford is close to completion.
Burnley are set to take the 22-year-old forward on loan, to add to their striking options after the return of Rouwen Hennings on loan to Fortuna Dusseldorf, and Chris Long’s season-long switch to League 1 Fleetwood Town .
Bamford has yet to make an appearance for his parent club Chelsea, but was Championship player of the year while on loan with Middlesbrough in 2014/15.
Dyche said, asked whether he was taking the player: “It’s looking that way.
“It’s not quite done but it’s looking that way.”
As regards further incomings, he mused: “We’re certainly active. We do need support, and we’re in the market for support.
“I keep hearing all these stories, it would be nice if one of them comes true. I’d take one at the minute, it would be helpful if it was three or four.”
The summer window has been something of a struggle for a number of clubs so far, as he added: “The TV money can only be used with immediacy if you’ve got a backer who’s going to carry the can for the next three, four, five, six years.
“We’ve got wealthy people on the board but they’re not wealthy at that level.”
