Besiktas Slaven Bilic Laughs Off Links To Manchester City Manager Job - RealGM Wiretap
Slaven Bilic has dismissed reports linking him to the Manchester City manager position as a replacement for Manuel Pellegrini.
Bilic is currently manager of Besiktas, who are at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table.
The former Croatia international laughed off the rumours and reaffirmed his commitment to his current team, who face Liverpool in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
When asked about the reports by tportal, Bilic replied: "Yes, I have already received an offer from Manchester City, they said they will sell Nasri, Kompany and Toure just to get me. Ha ha!
"Of course there is no offer, and my ambitions lie with Besiktas."
Bilic played for West Ham and Everton between 1996 and 2000.

锘? Time was that you had to visit a record store to get the music you wanted. Later, a membership to Columbia House meant you could easily order music from the comfort of your own home, but you had to wait. Technology advanced and media got smaller http://www.teamnflgiantsstore.com/authentic-kelvin-sheppard-giants-jersey/ , delivery faster. Vinyl records were replaced with magnetic tape, cassettes and 8-tracks, then compact discs and even smaller compact discs. Silly me, I thought other than making the disc smaller what could possibly replace CD's? Well, as usual, technology has kept the pace and left me flailing in it's dusty wake. Digital music has revolutionized the way we acquire and listen to music. Now when you want an album or even a single song, it's as easy as pointing and clicking, waiting a few seconds for the download and you're rockin' and rollin'. Or groovin' to the tunes. Or gettin' down with the beat http://www.teamnflgiantsstore.com/authentic-keenan-robinson-giants-jersey/ , etc., etc.
Oh, and check your downtown area for a local music store. You're more likely to see a Starbucks or 7-Eleven.
Roots In The Fatherland
MP3, or MPEG Audio Layer III, got its start in Germany in 1987 when the Fraunhofer Institut began doing research on the subject and started the EUREKA project EU147. Karlheinz Brandenburg, sometimes called The Father of MP3, explains how MP3 almost never got off the ground. The code, for some reason just would not work. Luckily http://www.teamnflgiantsstore.com/authentic-justin-pugh-giants-jersey/ , just before they were to submit the project to the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) subcommittee, the group that oversees standards for the industry, they found the compilation error that was causing the problems.
A company called Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft now owns the patents and licenses the rights to its use.
The Technology - In Simple Terms
The amount of data or information in just one second of CD quality music is about 1.4 megabits or almost 1 and a half million pieces of information per second. MP3 technology compresses the file, shrinking its size to a more manageable 112 the original with almost no information loss. This means more information delivered more quickly to your MP3 player for better sound quality. So it's not a matter of storage but a matter of transferring so much data in so little time. MP3 technology squishes that data so more of it fits into a smaller space, namely the pipeline from your player through the wire connecting to your ear piece.
MP3 Players
The first successful MP3 player was developed by Tomislav Uzelac in 1997. and was called AMP MP3 Playback Engine. A year later, two university students, Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev ported it to the Windows platform to create WinAmp. Frauenhofer was actually first to create the player but the software was unsuccessful.
Now we have all manner of choices for our listening enjoyment. With offerings from Sony, Apple http://www.teamnflgiantsstore.com/authentic-josh-brown-giants-jersey/ , Panasonic, Samsung and more, we have an endless array of players, with a multitude of features like phones, video, internet and others too numerous to mention here.
The Industry
Taking full advantage of this new technology, Napster picked up the MP3 ball and ran with it. I would have been surprised if someone hadn't come up with the idea. The still growing community of Napsterites was able to use MP3 technology to listen to their own music and share it with anybody who had an internet connection. While this was great for the community, not to mention Napster http://www.teamnflgiantsstore.com/authentic-jonathan-casillas-giants-jersey/ , the music industry was less thrilled with it. They reasoned: Nobody is going to buy music when they can share it for free... They had a point. Napster still has free music but has changed its policy in response to the industry's reaction. You'll need to purchase a song if you want to listen to it more than 3 times.
For The Consumer
MP3 brings with it a freedom that no other music technology has before. The devices are small enough to bring anywhere. They fit so much music into such a tiny space, you never have to hear the same song twice or carry boxes of tapes or cd's. If you .
