NEW YORK – Major League Soccer and USL PRO announced today a groundbreaking, multi-year partnership that will enhance the development of professional soccer players in North America, strengthen the competition in both leagues, and establish a solid foundation for future collaboration.
For 2013, the partnership will include interleague play between USL PRO and MLS Reserve League teams, and the establishment of several exclusive team affiliations. These initial programs will immediately improve professional player development in the United States and Canada. Additional technical and commercial initiatives between the two leagues will be announced as they are finalized in the coming months.
"This partnership represents the first step in a long-term alliance between MLS and USL PRO to connect domestic professional soccer through a system that benefits player development, competition and the overall business of our sport ," MLS Executive Vice President of Player Relations & Competition Todd Durbin said. "Over the past several years, USL PRO has made great strides in restructuring their league in a manner that serves to complement the objectives of MLS. This is a win-win for all involved, and it demonstrates our strong commitment to growing North American professional soccer at all levels."
Each club affiliation will be customized to meet the needs of the respective teams, but all will include at least four players on long-term loan from the MLS parent club to its USL PRO affiliate. Those MLS teams with formal USL PRO affiliates will not participate in the 2013 MLS Reserve League. Neither MLS nor USL PRO clubs are required to enter into an affiliation, and specific affiliations will be announced in the coming days.
Each of the 13 USL PRO teams will compete in two interleague games against MLS Reserve teams. With the exception of Antigua, which will play both of its games at MLS Reserve teams, USL PRO teams have been paired with a single MLS team to play a home and home series. All interleague games will count in both the official USL PRO and MLS Reserve League standings. Details of the fixtures will be announced in conjunction with the forthcoming release of the official 2013 USL PRO schedule.
"USL PRO has for the past several years been the most sophisticated and competitive professional soccer league under MLS," USL CEO Alec Papadakis said. "This new partnership with MLS will elevate and strengthen the level of competition for domestic professional soccer while simultaneously creating a more sustainable financial model for team owners. As a result, we expect this partnership will forge a seamless system for the development of players and coaches, and promote the expansion of professional soccer into new North American markets."
The MLS Reserve League provides meaningful competition for players who are not regulars in the first team's matches such as young players, players returning from injury, and youth development products. Each of the 19 MLS clubs will field either a Reserve Team or establish an affiliation with a USL PRO club. After fielding reserve sides from 2005 through 2008, Major League Soccer re-launched its Reserve League in 2011, providing essential development opportunities to players. In 2013, the conference alignment and the schedule for the MLS Reserve League will be announced in the coming weeks.
USL PRO is the strongest, best operated and most experienced North American men's professional soccer league below MLS, both on and off the field. Focused on franchise stability and longevity, USL PRO will feature 13 teams participating in the 2013 season, including expansion teams in Phoenix and Tampa. The league is focused on aggressive but deliberate growth by adding teams fully capable of meeting USL and US Soccer standards, which are located in markets that further promote regional league play. In addition to league play, USL PRO teams will compete in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup as well as various domestic and international exhibitions. USL PRO is the longest-standing pro league affiliate member of US Soccer.

The Crew Reserves began their 2013 campaign Tuesday morning with a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire at the Black & Gold's training facility in Obetz, Ohio.
Midfielder Konrad Warzycha found the back of the net just before the halftime whistle to give the Crew a 1-0 lead heading into the break. In the second half, the Fire leveled in the 62nd minute when trialist Colin Rolfe rebounded Matt Lampson's save to beat the 'keeper on a follow-up to tie the match at 1-1.
The two rivals would go back-and-forth in search of a winner throughout the final half-hour until Ethan Finlay drove a cross far-post to find Bernardo Anor for the finish to give the Black & Gold a late advantage.
"It was a great buildup, Tony [Tchani] got the ball at about midfield and 'megged the guy," Finlay recalled the game-winning sequence. "He played me in, and we were pretty much behind them and we had three guys trailing in. Bernardo was on the far post and Aaron [Schoenfeld] made a great near-post run. I whipped in a cross, Bernardo was in the right spot and had a great finish."
For Finlay and others who may not regularly see First Team minutes, the Reserve League is a prime opportunity to showcase their talents for Head Coach Robert Warzycha.
"[The Reserve League] is very important," Finlay said. "It gives Coach Warzycha an opportunity to see us play and it gives us an opportunity to get minutes in a game setting if you're not with the First Team all the time."
"You can practice all you want, but if you don't get games you're not as sharp as you can be," rookie defender Drew Beckie added. "I'm behind two great guys in Gláuber and Chad [Marshall], so I look forward to these games because this is where I'm going to get better."
The Crew Reserves will play again on Sunday morning against the New York Red Bulls at Montclair State University in New Jersey.
The orange match ball made a rare appearance on Tuesday as snow flurries blanketed the fields at the Crew's training facility in Obetz during pre-match warmups. The club's grounds crew with the help of the Crew's team staff spent three hours shoveling the field on Monday afternoon to get it ready for Tuesday's match.
For Canadian Drew Beckie and Wisconsin native Ethan Finlay, it was a match not unlike any other they have played in March while growing up in colder climates.
"It was just like home," Beckie said after the match. "Kudos to the grounds crew for getting the field ready for us. It's nice that we got to play the game, because we've been practicing and guys were anxious to get out there."
"I've played in colder weather, but this is tougher to play in just because of how wet the field is and we had snow coming down during warm-ups," Finlay added. "It makes it tough because there are puddles in certain places and the field is harder in certain areas. I'm used to it, but you only play in this weather once every couple of years. It's fun.
"It was great to get the 2-1 win today in really tough conditions. It wasn't the prettiest game, but it was a good win."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 1, 2011) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team is hoping for a more consistent 2011 FIVB World League performance this weekend when it faces its fellow NORCECA member Puerto Rico on June 3-4 (each match is at 5:30 p.m. PT) at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan.
The weekend will be the second of six in the World League Continental (pool play) Round. Brazil (2-0) leads Pool A, followed by Poland (1-1), the United States (1-1) and Puerto Rico (0-2).
The U.S. Men opened the 2011 World League with a three-set loss to Poland on May 27 in Lodz, 25-20, 25-22, 25-19. They came back and won the second match on May 28, 25-22, 25-19, 37-35.
"I am definitely much happier than last night," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe said following the second match. "I think the biggest difference was the energy. I have a tremendous amount of pride in our players. We've made some technical changes, but most of all, our players accepted the challenge of giving themselves to the game."
The United States, ranked fifth in the world, last faced Puerto Rico, ranked 16th, at the 2009 NORCECA Men's Continental Championship, where the U.S. Men defeated the island nation in three sets. The U.S. Men have a 22-1 record against Puerto Rico since 1981. This is Puerto Rico's first year in World League.
"They're a good team and have played together a long time," U.S. Team Captain Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) said on his Internet radio show The NET Live. "This will be the first measuring stick against them for Olympic qualifying."
The U.S. Men will most likely face Puerto Rico again this year at the 2011 NORCECA Men's Continental Championship where both teams will be fighting to qualify for the 2011 World Cup, which provides the first opportunity to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games.
In its first two World League matches on May 27-28, host Puerto Rico fell to Brazil 25-15, 25-19, 25-16 and 25-19, 31-29, 25-23.
"We made some key errors but overall we raised the quality of our game, playing with more precision," Puerto Rico Head Coach Carlos Cordona said. "It helped that Brazil was erratic today, very different than yesterday. We couldn't close the last two sets but we are growing up."
Puerto Rico was led in scoring by its opposite, Hector Soto, who scored 29 points on 28 kills and one block. Soto played college volleyball at IPFW.
Outside hitter Jose Rivera is second on the team in scoring with 20 points on 16 kills and four blocks. Rivera played college volleyball for Ohio State University.
The United States has not made any changes to its 14-man traveling roster between Poland and Puerto Rico and several of its players rank among the World League leaders.
Outside hitter and team captain Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) is fourth among all "spikers" with 28 kills and seven faults on 50 attempts for a success percentage of 56.0. Priddy is the United States' leading scorer and eighth overall with 33 points on 28 kills, one block and four aces. His four aces (and six faults) put him fourth among servers while opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) is second among servers with four aces and four faults in 30 attempts. Both Stanley and Priddy are averaging 0.67 aces per set.
U.S. middle blockers David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) and Ryan Millar (Alpine, Utah) are sixth and seventh respectively among blockers. Lee has six blocks with 11 faults on 25 attempts while Millar has six blocks and 18 faults on 38 attempts. Each player is averaging one block per set.
U.S. libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) is second among diggers with 26 digs and five faults on 42 attempts and an average of 4.33 digs per set. Priddy is third overall with 21 digs and five faults on 36 attempts and an average of 3.5 digs per set. Lambourne also ranks fifth among liberos.
Setter Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) is second overall at his position with 53 running sets and one fault on 114 attempts and an average of 8.83 digs per set.

A Happy Ending for a Change
After an inning and a half in last night's game against the Twins, you could just imagine all the TVs and radios being shut off in disgust wherever White Sox fans had gathered.
The Sox blew a golden opportunity to take a sizeable lead by leaving the bases loaded after scoring just a single run in the top of the first. Then, a ground ball got through the legs of Adam Dunn at first base that paved the way for three unearned runs for Minny in the bottom half of the inning.
In the top of the second, Alejandro De Aza singled to lead off the inning, but was quickly caught stealing. Brent Morel reached on an error and Juan Pierre walked to set up a potential one-out rally. You guessed it, Alexei Ramirez grounded out and Paul Konerko popped out to the shortstop. Nada.
I know what you're thinking. We've seen this movie before. But for the first time in a week, there was a different ending. Thanks to two players who can't be blamed for the team's woes this season, Carlos Quentin and Mark Buehrle, the Sox were able to win a game, snapping their six-game slide with a 5-3 victory.
Quentin hit a pair of homers and drove in four runs while Buehrle gave up only four hits in eight innings, allowing no earned runs and lowering his ERA to 3.04.
The Zach Stewart Era Begins Tonight
When minor leaguer Zach Stewart was recently acquired along with proven reliever Jason Fraser in the Edwin Jackson/Mark Teahen trade, Kenny Williams made it clear that Stewart would be in the major leagues before the end of the season.
The comment was somewhat surprising, but the 24-year-old righthander did make three major league starts in June before he was sent back to AA New Hampshire.
The future is now–as in tonight–for Stewart, who will take the mound for the Sox against Carl Pavano and the Twins with Jake Peavy being moved back to Sunday. It'll be a challenge for the former high draft choice of the Cincinnati Reds as Pavano has had his way with the South Siders this season.
To make room for Stewart, the Sox designated reliever Brian Bruney for assignment.

Introducing the Contour 25The next generation lightweight folding table
The benefits5% lighter than previous modelsImproved and simplified folding mechanismThe aluminium lip around the edge has been reducedImproved protective corner mouldings
With its lightweight aluminium frame, and great selection of sizes, heights and colours, the Contour25 range replaces the UK's favourite folding table, 25 years after the Contour folding table was first introduced. This next generation folding table comes with additional features and benefits but as an evolution of the original design, you will still be able to match aesthetically to existing, if you are a repeat customer.The Contour25 folding table is infinitely useful and versatile, making it ideal for numerous applications. Light and portable, the smallest Contour25 table weighs only 6.5kg, with the largest 12.35kg. The simple and fail-safe folding mechanism enables the table to be quickly and efficiently folded up and down with no pinch points and the legs have been designed to fold back under the table in a controlled manner. Once folded the tables have a depth of 85mm so require very little storage space. Each corner of the table has polypropylene corners to protect the product from any unexpected impact and the rigours of daily use. The table top is finished in wipe-clean plastic laminate in a choice of woodgrains, patterns or solid colours. Use for school dining, entertaining, meetings, sewing, crafting, display... the list is endless.All Gopak folding tables and trestle tables are made with care by our skilled and experienced production staff, and you can be assured that this product will give you year's worth of service, making it a very worthwhile investment for you or your organisation.

Sturdy tables but lightweight, ideal. Excellent product, excellent service.
Tables and benches as good as previous order, very sturdy and well made. Although we have the tool to fold up the legs, it is really difficult to fold both table and bench legs. Can they not be made easier as in the past.? Our original tables and benches were so much easier to fold. Very helpful service, goods delivered on time and well packaged.
We have had tables from go pack many years ago and due to use over the years and two tables stolen we needed some more. The old ones have lasted at least 15 years and are still ok but due to age and wear and tear are looking a bit tired.
Great trestle tables, beautiful blue colour. Helpful staff as I don't have a business Credit Card.
Six foot rectangular trestle tables fairly light to handle, good quality and robust.

Hoping the new toddler size tables will give us the value for money that our other tables have. I am sure they will. The toddler group extremely happy with their new tables. We have tables in our village hall that have been there since 1977 when the hall opened I think that's value for money!!!

Would have preferred to buy Economy to save extra money but the beech colour was a better match to our existing cafe tables. Extremely pleased with the service I received over the telephone from Sharon. She was polite, patient, informative and well understood the ponderous workings of church bodies when investing such a large amount of money. I consider her to be an asset to your company!
What more can I say? The tables fold.

Light weight, sturdy, easily cleaned and good looking tables. Our hall is now 30 years old and we are starting to replace our original Gopak tables. We hope the new tables last as long and are still going strong in another 30 years!
3 Contour tables 5ft long 27" wide for the Cricket Scorers and 2 small Economy tables for table tennis and casual use. Very content with the colour of the Contour tables but the Walnut colour on the Economy table is very dark. Doesn't really matter you get what you pay for and one can always cover it with a cloth. . I like the other standard top of the Economy range.

Gopak tables are expensive as an initial outlay but they last for years.

The tables are extremely strong; We now have 10 - the envy of other churches in the parish! We do lend them, but they have to fetch them!
I have always been delighted with the quality of their tables and the reliable delivery arrangements.
Goods were delivered exactly when we arranged. Delivery men were very helpful. Tables for use in our Lunch Club
The tables are well made and robust and I'm sure will provide many years of good service just like the similar ones we have.

We have ordered tables from Go-Pak twice now. They are unquestionably the best and most robust folding tables on the market at this price.
They are what it says on the website. As an art group we find them very suitable to work on.
We have a number of different Gopak tables but the improvements in this batch are excellant
Tables just right for our toddler group
I'm familiar with these types of tables which seem to take a lot of punishment in other locations. That i managed to damage 2 is an annoyance to me but I am hopeful it is a one off and that the tables will perform to expectations
The Contour Folding Table is exactly what I need for my craft room. Just the right size to work on and will fold away for easy storage.
Have used these tables over many years. They are extremely hard wearing and easy to clean.
Excellent table. Easy to put up and take down.
Good, sturdy tables that are easy to put up and to carry. Good range of colours & sizes to choose from. Excellent customers services, delivered as promised.
Excellent quality product. Good came on time and were well packed.
Small tables, light weight, easy to handle. Keep up the good service.
The nine folding tables and trolley were exactly what we required and of good quality.
Staff at Gopak are polite, helpful and knowledgable, they know their products! Delivery was exactly as arranged and we would shop with Gopak again and again.
Tables are good quality. Fast and reliable service.
We ordered 7 light weight tables all in different colours. Everyone is happy with how easy they are to put up and collapse and we love the colours!
Fantastic light weight tables, I hope they last well.
The tables are easy to erect, light to carry and take little space to store.
Goods were exactly as described and are of a high standard, good value for money paid.
Tables are good quality and do what they say they do!
Good quality tables which are easy to fold down and move around
Our Scout Group alway use Gopak tables as they are reliable and good quality.
This was a follow up order from a previous one. Tables are well worth the money.
We have bought some more of your tables to supplement our existing ones which we have had since the 1980s (at least!) - they are still going strong and I expect that these new ones will serve us equally well.
Perfectly satisfied with the folding tables.
We are a very busy community centre and the tables ordered undergo a lot of wear and tear and are suitable for the use.
The tables are an increase on what we already have and we are satisfied with them. We ordered tables and were instantly appraised that the order was received and as we are a long way south we were telephoned as to when they could be delivered. The date and carrier all happened just as we were told. What more could you ask!
Tables are of good quality and design.
We are really pleased to note that our original tables (a least) 10 years old had not faded etc. We have been using your tables for years.
Excellent product, robust and stable designed for years of hard use
The table were just what we wanted for the village hall
The tables we ordered were exactly what we expected and have made such a difference to our activities.
Basic tables, benches and chairs - good-looking and good value for money. Use of the proper folding tool is highly recommended to avoid accidental damage to table legs. The on-line ordering system was easy to use. It was good to be able to save a quote then come back to it later.
Excellent quality attractive folding tables. Easy to handle and light. Looking good.
Tables and chairs were light, compact and sturdy - just what we needed. Service from telephone sales staff, was first rate.
Just the job! Keep up the good work, and thank the individuals who delivered with speed and courtesy.
Contour folding table in red. Very attractive and versatile and can be used for children or as an attractive coffee table
These tables have been used for several years and are giving good service at a reasonable price.
The contour folding tables are a good quality, light and easy to fold up. The other major bonus is that they match perfectly tables we have had for some time. Thank you for the helpful way that my order was dealt with over the phone and the very swift delivery.
The tables we ordered are perfect for our Church and are of a very high standard. Very efficient service - friendly staff.
Your customer service staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful when I had questions prior to ordering and about our delivery. Delivery arrived early on the day arranged. Excellent support and products. Thankyou!
Really good table, sturdy and looks good too. Bought for my son doing exams, wanted a fold up table so not to take up all the space in his bedroom. But I would use it too for extra dinner guests at Christmas ! When I phoned in my order the lady on the phone was so helpful, and arranged delivery for a specific day which was great.
I am very pleased with the service, prompt delivery and quality of your products.
The tables & chairs replace older models at least 15 years old. We are enjoying the new bright colours and we hope the items will last as long. Very helpful sales staff kept informed of delivery.
A bit pricey, but only available supplier. Good quality. Small folding tables suitable for children 915 x 610 mm.
Made to measure fitting the space available has made an excellent sewing table.
Strong, versatile and good value for money. They will last for years - as tables we have previously used from Gopak have proved. Highly recommended.
Perfect extra table, easy to use for extra guests to extend a dining table - wider than normal trestles.
Gopak folding tables - additional ones needed to the ones we have had for many years - a quality product.
Easy to store and use, light weight but rigid. Good quality surface and materials

Tables light, strong and easy to put up.
Exactly as ordered, match perfectly with those ordered two years previously (which have hardly worn!), would definitely recommend these!
Met our requirements perfectly. A big thank you to the customer service lady who promised to arrange delivery for a morning delivery, which was fulfilled and eased our problem of not having someone living on the premises
Trestle table - basic but good value and long lasting. I was very impressed with the friendly and efficient service from your sales people when I phoned.
Ideal tables for the pre-school. Good clear website. You read my delivery instructions and followed them. You let me know when delivery would be, and it was. Very happy with the service in all aspects.
We have used GOPAK tables both in Dymchurch Village Hall and in the Methodist Church and we have always been satisfied with the high quality and durability easily's stackable tables.
Very good for a variety of Scout purposes and store away well.
Small tables manageable by most folk size-wise although folding requires some strength.
This is the second folding table that we have ordered over the last year, and we find the fact that they can be stored away very useful as it allows the children to have more floor space when the table is not in use. It is also easy to fold away and is light weight.
Table is well made & looks good. Very happy with company, product & service. Was kept well informed of progress
Staff extremely helpful when I contacted by telephone to discuss. Laminate Contour tables very easy to put up and drop down for storage. Very sturdy

Great, light, easy to use, and we love the green, makes a change from that dull grey!
Tables light, strong and very fit for purpose.
Items are expensive but they are first class so it really is value for money
I bought a small low legged table for use with preschool children. It is sturdy, bright and packs away well. Seems a lot for a little table, though I know it will be durable and is light and is the best type to buy.
We ordered 3 tables, all the same depth but different lengths to be used in a variety of ways. We have used them before so knew they would suit our needs.
The leg unlocking mechanism has been improved and is much easier to use.
Great tables, good value.. what more can you say?
Sturdy table of extremely good quality
I bought a small table for my art work and it's great. It fits in neatly in my study. It's sturdy, easy to put up and easy to take down. I'm very pleased.
Ideal for multi-purpose use, I ordered lower and higher tables to cater for the variety of ages we have.
Really pleased with product and delivery. We would definitely use your company again.
Good-quality tables. Reliable, durable, attractive
We have been happy to buy the extra tables given the longevity and continuing good condition of those bought at least 15 years ago for use in a village hall environment.
Sturdy and well constructed tables. should last for a long time.

Very good quality table, I'm using it in a sewing room and it is perfect. Thanks
They look sturdy tables but haven't opened them yet as will not be needed until the tennis club is allowed to hold events.
I think they will be very good for our BBQs and events. But as I said we haven't unpacked them yet as we are storing them for future use.
Have had one of these tables before it is brilliant would highly recommend to all.
Excellent quality. Very satisfied.
The table is good and stable at each end but across the width way there is a fair overhang beyond the legs, you need to be careful that you don't apply to much weight on the edge or the table could turn over. Legs need to be further apart.
Splendid product, very useful
Great solid product- really does the job
Just what I needed - also looks great and goes up and down easily.
As above, thank you......
Super table easy to set up
Delighted with it. Really easy to fold, very sturdy and not too heavy to manage - a great hobby table..When there was a problem with the delivery, as soon as I contacted Gopak, customer service was excellent and I was kept informed by telephone. Sincere thanks to Maisie Cannon.

This is my second GoPak trestle table. They have never disappointed me. Also the orange colour is nice. I may buy more diffident colors.
very happy with these table's
good though not as sturdy as the last I got
The table top was good and solid but let down by the legs as it wobbles like a jelly during any contact with it. I have a printer on it and as it operates the table wobbles in motion with it and even when just resting arms on it writing you feel a constant wobble. I think the legs need a cross section...
Fit our requirement perfectly

The tables are really light and solid

The previous table has lasted 12 years without problems.The new one looks very smart.

One of the tables was damaged when we unpacked it and we have asked Gopak to replace it
We ordered three tables but you sent one which was not as wide as the others, before we had realised the packaging had been thrown away so we cannot ask to return it.
The table was as we expected it should be. It was ordered on the basis of our experience using similar go-pak tables elsewhere.
Excellent - fit for purpose, exactly as we required

There's a new trend in investing: free. You can now trade stocks, own index funds and even get portfolio management with no fee. This is noteworthy, though investors may not
There's a new trend in investing: free.
You can now trade stocks, own index funds and even get portfolio management with no fee.
This is noteworthy, though investors may not realize it: Nearly a third of Americans who have an investment account think they don't pay fees, according to NerdWallet research. (It's not hard to draw a connection to this next finding: More than half say they don't know how to locate the fees they pay.)
In reality, virtually every investor pays some type of fee at some point, but intense competition in the industry and new technology have been driving down those costs. The race appears to be hitting bottom: In 1996, the average equity mutual fund charged an annual fee " called an expense ratio " �of 1.04% of the invested amount; in 2017, the average was nearly half that. Earlier this year, Fidelity Investments introduced four index funds with no expense ratio at all.
Those funds join a growing list of options for investors who want to cut overhead to the bone: Stocks can be traded commission-free through services like Robinhood and J.P. Morgan's You Invest; brokers are widening their lists of no-transaction-fee and no-commission funds. There are also computer-based investment management services called robo-advisors " some of which charge no advisory fee, including one from established broker Charles Schwab.
All of this is good news for investors. But it pays to be aware of the following:An upsell may be on the way
It's the contemporary version of a free breakfast with a side of timeshare pitch: In many cases, free investment products and services are loss leaders to lure you in the door.
In the case of Fidelity's zero-cost index fund, the broker may be hoping you'll need or want some advice as your balance grows " in which case the company's robo-advisor, Fidelity Go, will prove convenient " �or that you'll diversify your portfolio into funds or accounts that do charge an annual fee or otherwise earn Fidelity money.
That's not to say paying for advice is bad; on the contrary, good advice can actually make you money. 'In the long term, a few basis points you pay for advice could make a world of difference in your overall retirement plan,' says Joe Wirbick, a certified financial planner and president of Sequinox in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
But if and when you decide it's time to pay for help managing your finances, you should consider the universe of services available to you " robo-advisor, human and hybrid " �rather than just the options within your existing brokerage. (Learn more about how to choose a financial advisor.)Cost is only one factor
It's hard to overstate the impact of fees: Every dollar you pay to a commission or a fund expense ratio reduces your investment return. And because the money skimmed off by fees would otherwise be invested, the cost actually compounds over time. (Here's more about the investment fees you should know.)
But investors blind to anything but fees are making a mistake. There is a laundry list of other factors to consider.
In the case of index funds and exchange-traded funds, that list includes performance and risk. These funds track a benchmark index. The goal is to meet " rather than beat " �the market, but even so, funds that sound the same and track similar benchmarks can vary in their holdings, tax efficiency and returns.
'We're often surprised at the return variation between different types of ETFs that should be tracking similar indexes,' says Derek Holman, a certified financial planner and the co-founder and managing director of EP Wealth Advisors in Torrance, California. That variation won't be much, but it could be more than a slight difference in expense ratios.
With free investment management services like robo-advisors, consider how much of your portfolio is held in cash " �the service is likely pocketing the interest on that allocation, or at least a portion of it, and that cash holding can reduce your return and introduce a potential conflict of interest. You can find this information in your account statement or by viewing your account online; any allocation to cash should be listed along with the other investments in your portfolio.
'They make more money the more that is allocated to cash, and they have control over how the money is allocated,' says Holman.Unfettered access can backfire
Nobody leaves an all-you-can-eat buffet hungry. When the second slice of pie is 'free,' you tend to make room. Similarly, you might find your appetite for trading increases when a commission or transaction fee is off the table.
'The indirect cost is that 'no transaction fee' has the potential to encourage more trading, and studies show that most people do a pretty poor job of trading frequently and managing their own money,' says Holman.
A commission can serve as a reminder to proceed carefully and gut-check your decision; free trading apps and commission-free investment lists may remove that mental barrier. That doesn't mean you shouldn't aim to reduce or avoid commissions, but it may mean you need to be more mindful of each transaction.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A beachfront hotel came down quickly and without warning Wednesday, but the demolition of the old Howard Johnson hotel gave drivers along State Road A1A and spectators quite a scare.
Dianne Bolduc said she was shaking after watching the demolition.
"It was incredible, but it happened so fast," she said. "(There was) no announcement and they didn't stop traffic or anything."
Just how close was the old hotel to A1A? Not more than 75 feet, Local 6 News sister station WPLG-TV reported.
Stiles Construction, which was responsible for the demolition, closed the pedestrian sidewalk adjacent to the former building, but not the roadway.
Even the developer of the future Paramount Fort Lauderdale Beach was surprised how quickly the hotel crumbled.
"Yeah, it actually went pretty fast," One World Properties owner Peggy Fucci said. "We were expecting it to last a little bit longer."
The old hotel was initially supposed to be imploded this Sunday, but instead it was pulled down by a crane with cables attached to certain key support beams.
"The team meticulously planned the process to ensure the full safety of the surrounding area, and designed the demolition so that the building would fall safely away from A1A," Stiles Construction said in a statement.
A spokesman for the city of Fort Lauderdale said once the decision was made "to do the demolition in a conventional manner, we no longer felt it was necessary to close A1A."

(Pocket-lint) - There may well be a mighty influx of super-powered smartphones inbound, with the LG Optimus 3D and Samsung's own Galaxy S II being particular highlights, but one area of the market that is about to expand even more rapidly has its roots firmly in the entry-level sector.
There's a big demand growing for "my first smartphone", and in the age of dual-core processing, super-sized AMOLED or Retina displays, and graphics chips that used to be confined to expensive laptops back in 2008, there are many of us out there that just won't be able to afford the latest tech, or maybe even understand it. And manufacturers and networks alike are loath to keep touting the same handsets they've had in stock for over a year.
Hence, the Samsung Galaxy Ace, and devices like it. It's Android (2.21 - Froyo+) it's got a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus and LED flash, sports Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi (802.11/b/g/n) and USB 2.0 connectivity, and offers access to a world of apps on Samsung Apps and Android Market, yet it will be available at an incredibly competitive price point.
Obviously, there are some sacrifices to keep it accessible. The processor runs as 800MHz, the 3.5-inch touchscreen is TFT-LCD and 480 x 320, and it's unlikely that the operating system will ever be upgraded to Gingerbread. But it runs Angry Birds, and surely that's the most important thing?
QuickType by Swype is resident from the off, as is the company's integrated Social Hub (email and networking all in the same place). Google Maps is pre-installed too, and the Galaxy Ace has GPS in-built.
There's also an FM radio, which is actually more than some other smartphones offer, regardless of status.
On-board memory amounts to 150MB - with a 2GB inbox - but can be expanded by a microSD card of up to 32GB, so plenty. And the whole kit and caboodle is dinky in the hand, measuring 112.4 x 59.9 x 11.5 mm.
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20, What3Words CEO, and Withings Sleep Analyzer reviewed - Pocket-lint podcast ep. 65
At Pocket-lint, we can certainly see this working, and it could mark the end of the traditional mobile phone. We'll be more decisive when we get to play with a full review sample shortly. Certainly, it won't be long as Three has announced that it will be available from the carrier later this month.

The Saint of Fort Washington
I've never been one for politics, nor do I understand the "politics" of many things—especially the politics which apply to motion pictures. So many wonderful films will be lost to the generations that will follow our own. Sometimes a movie's unavailability might be due to music rights, or other business-related issues, and as years pass, there are fewer people who are aware of its existence. To say that The Saint of Fort Washington fits into this category would be a slight exaggeration; the film is accessible on previously owned VHS, Laser Discs and European DVDs, and is now available domestically from Warner Bros. It features early performances by Matt Dillon, Danny Glover, and Ving Rhames—performances which, in my honest opinion, are their best by far. But for some reason, the movie was just swept under the carpet. I've yet to meet another person who saw it in the '90s, and its Box Office figures were laughable; it's safe to say that it never had a fan base. I'll never understand why, but I would guess that it has something to do with its heart-wrenching realism. It is by far one of the most important dramas about homelessness, mental illness, and religion. Everyone who lives in a large city or has something to say about our country's issues with poverty and the homeless should see it.
In it we find Matthew (Matt Dillon), a young schizophrenic man who is made homeless overnight. A slumlord has leveled his building without permits, which means that collecting his government check is impossible because he no longer has an address for them to send it to. He takes to the streets and by nightfall he's directed to the Fort Washington's Shelter for Men. While in line he sees a man nursing a wounded knee. He takes out his camera, the only thing of value that he has, and snaps a picture. The man, Jerry, (Danny Glover), becomes outraged and tries to damage the camera until young Matthew shows him that there's no film inside. Though Jerry is baffled at how someone could be a photographer without film in a camera, the two seem to have an understanding of one another. While in the shelter, Jerry tells him how the place works and what/who to avoid; what the thugs steal first while you're asleep and who, of the hundreds of men you lay your head next to, is a threat. The ringleader in terror at the shelter is Little Leroy (Ving Rhames), a man who'll stop at nothing to oppress everyone in the shelter and kill whoever gets in the way. By morning Jerry, a willful Vietnam veteran, is back on the streets hustling. Young Matthew can't help but shadow him and feed off his wisdom and street smarts.
Leningrad Cowboys Go America
Leningrad Cowboys Go America is a rock 'n' roll road movie that pulls inspiration from various classic Western rock movements while observing forced democracy and musical ambition along the way. A Finnish polka band called The Leningrad Cowboys, sporting winklepicker oxfords, black suits and exaggerated pompadours, are trying to make a name for themselves. In their village they perform for a producer and are told that they have a lot of talent. The producer speaks to their manager, Vladimir (Matti Pellonpaa) and advises the group to take off to America and seek fame. The manager makes some calls and sets up a show in Manhattan, claiming that the band is very good and speaks perfect English, which they don't. One of their bass players has recently passed away and they place him in a bizarre coffin, set on taking his corpse with them to America. Stalking them is Igor, (Kari Vaananen) a village reject who wants to join their band and intends on following their course abroad.
While in the air they brush up on their English and are ordered by Vladimir to stop speaking their native language for the time being. Upon arrival the club owner in New York asks them to play for him before he agrees to let them perform. After hearing the band he informs them that their music is just not what he was looking for. He gives them the address of his cousin in Mexico who needs a band for his wedding. According to him, their 10-piece band and ensemble of instruments would do well there, but not in America, where rock 'n' roll is the music of choice. Without a place to go and only $700 between them, they buy a Cadillac and start a road tour across America with Mexico as their final destination.Continue Reading
Brighton Rock
It bugs me when I go to see an old film on the big screen and people laugh at what they find to be anachronistic or hokey. Aside from it being disrespectful it also strikes me as an incredibly pretentious thing to do. I remember having a screening of Night of the Hunter completely ruined when a trio of teenage dorks insisted on laughing at every other line of dialogue in the film as if they were so much cooler than everyone on screen. Who in their right mind could think they were cooler than Robert Mitchum?! We assume that we must be somehow more evolved than generations before us but, with few exceptions, evidence to the contrary abounds. It can be amusing to note how filmmakers had to contort their films to fit the narrow confines of acceptability as defined by the Production Code, but to insistently laugh with smug satisfaction at every little thing in an old film that strikes our ears as the least bit foreign is to loudly and desperately proclaim one's own insecurities. The laughing-at-old-films-to-make-yourself-look-smart phenomenon is so all prevailing that I barely notice it anymore except by its absence. This happened when I saw Brighton Rock at the New Beverly here in L.A. this past weekend. It is one of the funniest, blackest noirs ever and the audience laughed at what was meant to be funny and that was enough. It was revelatory to experience a film from 1947 as it was meant to be seen—at a theater with an audience that was completely seduced into unselfconscious enjoyment by the film's dark, spiky humor. Brighton Rock was a novel before it was a movie and it remains probably my favorite novel of all time. Graham Greene stuck to a completely English milieu for this early gangster story set in the seaside town of Brighton with its pleasure piers and seedy amusements. A teenage boy with an acne problem and a very bad temper named Pinkie is the leader of a low rent gang of hoods. Pinkie and his middle aged cohorts kill a newspaper man from London who is working in Brighton for the day because of unfinished business related to his nefarious extracurricular activities. The murder scene is different from how it plays out in the book but it's the rare example of a movie adaptation with inventive visuals that manage to artfully elaborate on the themes of the book even when straying from the book's plot. Pinkie is evil incarnate. He wears a cheap suit and carries a razor blade as a weapon and only seems happy when terrifying other people. He is a virgin and is repulsed by sex but plagued by self doubt over his lack of life experience. When a young waitress named Rose becomes a potential liability for Pinkie's gang he sets out to court her with the plan of marrying her so that she can't testify against him. He seems relieved when he sees a rosary in her purse and his eyes light up as he talks about the certainty of eternal damnation and torment even as he seems more skeptical about the possibility of any alternative.
As previously mentioned, Brighton Rock is one of the great film noir dark comedies and in Pinkie it has one of the great villains of cinema and in Ida Arnold, one of the most absurd protagonists. Ida is a classic British creation—a soft-around-the-edges kind of gal with a hearty laugh. When she's not working on her "entertainment" career she's usually found at the pub drinking port and singing sentimental old music hall songs with her randomly assembled group of male friends. Ida met Fred just before he died and she is obsessed with finding out what happened to him. Soon Ida is causing problems for Pinkie as her rambling investigation threatens to ensnare him.Continue Reading
Dead Set
You are probably NOT saying to yourself, "You know what the world needs more of? Zombie stories." I know I wasn't. The idea behind the British Television mini-series (five episodes all together running just over 140 minutes) called Dead Set is this...what if there's a world wide zombie outbreak, all hell breaks loose, the apocalypse sets in, and no one lets the attention seeking, shallow idiots of TV's isolated Big Brother house in on the news? That's the set-up; sounds like a cheap gimmick, right? Sounds even a little shrill. Guess what? It works. It works great. This is a zombie tale that can take its rightful place along with the handful of good zombie tales of the last fifty years (Night, Dawn, Shawn, the Dawn remake, and 28 Days Later).
The zombie mayhem comes fast in this story - no long-winded, Arthur Hailey like, first act of meeting and falling for the folks about to be thrown into disaster. Nope, ten minutes in and it's on. Luckily for us. most of the Big Brother house morons are only there to be future zombie chum. The story mostly centers on two radically different characters. Kelly, a PA at the network, manages to survive the attack and when she makes her way, blood soaked onto the Big Brother set, to try to warn the cast, they take her as a ploy to shake things up on their show and assume she is an over-acting new castmate. Also managing to survive the initial outbreak is the show's producer, Patrick. The actor, Andy Nyman, is wonderful, making this obnoxious madman a cross between Entourage's Ari Gold and Saul Rubinek in True Romance. From what I could figure, much of the cast is made up of real life British reality stars. But don't let that turn you off, most of the acting is surprisingly well done.Continue Reading
It's hard to talk about the scariest movie of all time, just like it's hard to talk about the funniest. Once you claim what it is people will have every other horror movie they've ever seen to compare it to and since the title of "scariest" is so subjective it all comes down to each person's experience. So in this case, I must go past personal experience and try to somehow justify why Ghostwatch scared me more than anything.
Over the last couple of years a lot of "found footage" movies have popped up. Some have been great and some have not, but all of them are outdated by Ghostwatch. In 1992 on Halloween, the BBC aired a special program about the most haunted house in England. News reporters were to take you inside and show you what ghostly goings-on were taking place and supposedly, while it was airing, a massive terror spread through England as children and adults alike thought that what they were watching was real. But it was not. It was a totally fictional program about a mother and her two daughters who were haunted by an old tenant that the children call Mr. Pipes (after their mother tells them that the noises they are hearing are just the pipes rattling). But once the media shows up, Mr. Pipes isn't too happy and decides that if what they want is terror, then that's what they'll get.Continue Reading
Ghosts...of the Civil Dead
"You can only push a man so far before he pushes back," proclaims one of the more orderly prisoners in John Hillcoat's Ghosts…of the Civil Dead. This line is one I'm sure I've heard dozens of times in films, but never more fully realized as when the violence and tension in the prison in which the film is set reaches a sort of chaotic resolution. The character in question is one of two prisoners whom the audience meets right at the start of the film, both of whom act as a common man that represent the two paths one is headed for when stuck in such an environment. One leads to murder and the other to suicide. And that's not to say these are respectable people who don't deserve their time in jail (we never discover what they are in for), but as the same aggressions and fears begin to show up in the guards' behavior, something clearly needs to change.
Apparently based on real events, Ghosts is an account of the events in a prison that lead to a total lockdown, confining the inmates entirely within their cells, and then to deathly acts of violence. Working as a sort of visual diary, we are taken through a series of seemingly unconnected events that, while not forming a narrative, show a clear route for the derangement that evolves. One such evolution is how physical recreation changes as prisoners continually take advantage of what freedoms are given them. First, the outdoor areas are closed off after a stabbing, restricting exercise to indoors, and then a fence is put up to further constrain them. This literal cage, as several of them point out, only solidifies their belief that they are no better than animals. Obviously prison is just a big cage anyway and the film isn't trying to humanize clearly deranged people, but if something is clearly broken, it must need fixing. Sure the film doesn't offer any easy answers but it is most certainly asking hard questions about what potentially is in all of us.Continue Reading

So I have an array of values:
dht = new int[] { 41, 68, 77, 74, 74, 68, 88 };
And I want to return the index/of the position of the highest number. In this case 88.
I understand it is in the 6th position.
So,public static int hottestDay( int[] temp) { int hottest = 88; for(int i; i < dht.length ; i++){ if( dht[i] == hottest) return i; }
I am more interested in how you solve, than the actual answer itself. If someone could get on AIM and walk me through this and other stuff, I would be so happy.

John Jacobson is a man who has completely dedicated his life to the betterment and enrichment of children. He has chosen musical education as his path towards enhancing the lives of children around the world. He explains, "There is no more noble profession than teaching. For me, music was the added bonus". He grew up in a family of teachers; all nine of his brothers and sisters teach and are married to others who teach. With his extreme devotion to teaching, it only made sense to do it through the means of song and dance. "I loved to sing as a kid", John says, "and I never saw a reason to stop. I worked my way through college performing, got my degree in music education". For John, working with children is the most rewarding and important thing he could be doing.
I asked John what it is about musical education that is so beneficial for children? He passionately and clearly explained, "What you learn through music you don't forgot. You sing it, you don't forget it. You can learn anything from your math facts to the musical adventure of Lewis and Clark. You remember facts like that, and that's really important. They might learn those things some place else. But who else is going to teach kids to have honor, compassion, honesty, and passion? The really big things, I think we can teach those through music, but better."
John writes his own music to teach kids these hugely essential life lessons. He has written songs such as, "Respect", that have been learned by school children across the nation. His staggeringly large musical catalog ranges from fun to life changing messages that all children can benefit from.
John is constantly working on new and different exciting programs geared towards musical education. He also has a musical fitness video program called jJump! It is geared towards getting younger kids to form positive habits of movement and exercise. The fun, fast-paced tunes come in 30-min videos that will surely get kids excited and jumping around! The jJump! Program is available on DVD as well as CD.
He not only does motivational lectures at schools, writes his own music, and choreographs his own routines, he also founded a non-profit organization called America Sings! This organization brings together school choirs from across the nation to unite in their favorite pastime, song. The children learn from each other and are impassioned to sing for their peers in this non-competetive choral celebration. What makes America Sings! truly unique and inspirational is that it is also very involved in charitable work. Everyone who is attendance participates in service work during the festival. These services range from making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for homeless shelters or preparing care packages. The foundation is completely self-supported through volunteer work and donations. John explains, "It came as a result of my own belief that kids and adults need to do service in their life. Most people think that to do service you need to go out of your normal life, but America Sings! is about doing what you love while helping others."
Many of you may have stumbled upon John Jacobson through the viral video sensation, Double Dream Hands. This video features John teaching choreography for his song "Planet Rock". The video came from a vault of hundreds of free choreography videos John has posted on his Music Express website. Music Express Magazine is a magazine John created to help teachers enhance their musical education programs. It is a magazine that comes with instructional cds, though anyone can access the free online content. If you enjoyed Double Dream Hands, you will love the other videos John has posted online for you!
When I asked John what the one message he wanted to get out to the public was, he spoke from the heart and said, "Musical educations needs to be supported locally and all over the world. You have to keep your eye, ears, and heart on the kids. You have to make your decisions for them. We need to be their advocates, in every decision we make. Children are listening, children are watching, we need to be the adults."

This is from Birds of the Air.
Recently I came across a reading of the Didache. "The what?" you may ask. The Didache is a book written somewhere in the first or second century. For a long time it was up for consideration as Scripture. It was believed to be the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles. Eventually it was agreed that the book was an excellent book, but not inspired Scripture. So I was pleased to be able to download this admirable book containing good teachings from the early Church fathers.
The book seemed to be largely a lot of quotes from Scripture. You'll learn the basic rules of Christianity — "First, you shall love God who made you; second, love your neighbor as yourself." You'll learn that "grave sins" are forbidden, like adultery, murder, fornication, and so on. (They specifically include pederasty in the list.) There are instructions regarding teachers, prophets, Christian assembly, and so on. Lots of the normal, good stuff. But, since this was written sometime prior to 200 AD, I was somewhat surprised at this instruction: "You shall not murder a child by abortion" (Didache, Ch 2).
I got curious about what babies look like when they are just a few weeks old, so I went looking for pictures of them.
This post from Life News has ten excellent pictures of life inside the womb.
Here's my favorite from 10 weeks:
This is a first trimester baby!
I decided to go hunting to see what is developed at this time, and found this list:
- From this week until birth, the developing organism is called a fetus.
- The fetus is now the size of a small strawberry.
- The feet are 2mm long (one tenth of an inch).
- The neck is beginning to take shape.
- The body muscles are almost developed. Baby has begun movement.
- While still too small for you to feel, your little one is wriggling and shifting.
- The jaws are in place. The mouth cavity and the nose are joined.
- The ears and nose can now be seen clearly.
- Fingerprints are already evident in the skin.
- Nipples and hair follicles begin to form.
The unborn baby is now called a fetus. Though the fetus is constantly moving, you will not be able to actually feel fetal movement for several more weeks. All of the organs, muscles, and nerves are in place and beginning to function. As the hands and feet develop fingers and toes, they have lost their paddle like look. The touch pads on the fingers form and already have fingerprints.
During this week of pregnancy the crown to rump length of the fetus is 0.9 inch to 1.2 inches (22 to 30mm), weight 0.07 ounce (2gm). They are now on the way to forming their testicles or ovaries, getting ready for the next generation. Until the ninth week of fetus development, the fetal reproductive apparatus is the same one for the both sexes. The head is still large and curves into chest.
Each week your uterus grows larger with the baby growing inside it. You may begin to see your waistline growing thicker by this time. A pelvic exam will detect that your uterus has grown from it's normal, size of your fist, to a little bigger than a grapefruit.

The script for the RoboCop remake may have gotten panned, but the movie still has an incredibly strong cast: Joel Kinnaman, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Jay Baruchel, Abbie Cornish, Michael K. Williams, and Jackie Earle Haley. We previously reported that Hugh Laurie was in negotiations to play the film's villain, but now Variety's Jeff Sneider is tweeting that Laurie won't be squaring off against the cyborg police officer. According to Sneider, Laurie was never really "in" since he was still in negotiations for the part, and those talks have now fallen apart. It's a bit of a bummer since I'd like to see more Laurie especially now that House, M.D. is over, but hopefully he'll land another big role soon.
RoboCop is set to open on August 9, 2013. [Update: Deadline reports that MGM is now looking at a small group of actors to fill the villain role, and one of them includes Clive Owen.]
