Transfer window history: West Ham fans will pray there are no repeats of the bizarre January loan signing of central defender Roger Johnson from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold are not big fans of the January sales.

Budget: 5m. West Ham did superb business in the summer transfer window and wont be looking make major January moves. The club may, however, need a replacement for central defender Winston Reid.

Dream signing: Winston Reid. West Ham are desperate to tie the Kiwi down to a new contract, but have so far been able to negotiate an agreement. Allardyce may have to sell him in January, rather than risk losing him for free. Arsenal and Everton are interested.

Probable signing: Nicolas NKoulou. West Ham have been watching the Marseille defender in case Reid leaves in January. The 24-year-old Cameroon international would cost around 5m.

Peter Crouch celebrates his goal at Crystal Palace.

IF theres a new transfer window on the horizon then there must be a Peter Crouch transfer story following close behind.

Its in the rules, we all know that, and the first stories to surface have him linked to both QPR and Crystal Palace.

Nothing particularly new in those links given Harry Redknapp is still at Loftus Road and Tony Pulis was recently at Selhurst Park.

The question is: Will Stoke sell in January?

With six months left on his contract it makes financial sense to pocket what could be a couple of million.

But a couple of million is a drop in the ocean these days, and the loss of Crouch midway through a season, one that could still go either way, would be a massively brave step.

Surely, given the playing resources at his disposal, Mark Hughes could only begin to consider selling Crouch if he had a replacement lined up this January.

And a replacement that would bring height, strength and some kind of goal pedigree to his forward line.

Keeping Crouch for the second half of the season would also allow Stoke to keep their options open on whether they want to eventually offer a new deal to a player celebrating his 34th birthday on January 30.

WASHINGTON Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is launching its Energy Star Home Advisor, an online tool designed to help Americans save money and energy by improving the energy efficiency of their homes through recommended, customized and prioritized home-improvement projects.

As we enter the winter months, homeowners can use our new Energy Star Home Advisor to increase energy efficiency and save money while reducing greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change, said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. When homeowners take advantage of this important tool and increase the energy efficiency of their homes, many families will notice savings on energy bills and improvements in the comfort of their homes.

The updated Energy Star Home Advisor guides the homeowner through a do-it-yourself energy assessment to create an Energy Star home profile. Based on the newly created profile, the Home Advisor provides customized, prioritized recommendations for improvements. From these recommendations, users can create their own to-do lists of projects such as adding insulation to the attic or replacing an HVAC air filter.

Over time, users can update their home profiles as they make improvements, see the positive environmental impacts of the changes theyve made, get additional recommendations, and update their to-do lists for future projects. The home profiles can also be printed and used at the time of sale.

The announcement is part of EPAs Energy Efficiency Action Week, during which EPA regional offices across the country will hold events to increase awareness about the energy and cost savings associated with energy efficiency upgrades, especially in the winter months.

Homeowners can also use the following Energy Star tips to save energy and money at home this winter:

Get a Home Energy Audit - Home energy auditors are trained and certified in how to find energy problems using specialized equipment to pinpoint key areas for improvement and provide customized recommended solutions. In select states, Home Performance with Energy Star offers an energy assessment that focuses on a systematic approach to improving energy efficiency and comfort.

Seal and Insulate - The average home spends $2,000 on utility bills each year. Heating and cooling costs account for nearly half of that amount. Energy Star estimates that homeowners can save up to 10 percent on heating and cooling costs by sealing air leaks and adding insulation.

Learn more through Energy Stars Rule Your Attic! campaign, which encourages homeowners to measure their attic insulation levels as a first step toward making their homes more energy efficient and comfortable. More: http://www.energystar.gov/ruleyourattic.
