5 Fantasticfhmm160 | 09/08/2011 | See all fhmm160's reviews (1)I use these in the gym, the sound quality is excellent, very comfortable to wear and they have coped with walking, cycling and weight lifting. Ordering another pair in case I lose them, can't do without them.
1 rubbishjinjin | 16/11/2010 | See all jinjin's reviews (1)Had these headphones less than 4 hours and they developed a fault, one stopped giving sound. Absolutely horrible fit in the ear very uncomfortable, they are just too big for normal ears. After this absolute disgrace of a product I will never touch any of Sony's products, just awful. I have never bought any which has lasted for less than 4 hours. Buy these headphones at your own peril. To top it all off the sound is terrible you can barely hear your music extremely quiet.Stay way clear of these headphones
5 Excellent productSoqedHozi | 05/12/2012 | See all SoqedHozi's reviews (1)Comfortable and good sound, the rubber has come away on one headphone after allot of use, but they still fit nicely regardless.
5 these are brill. Had them a year and still good :)kw1234 | 14/02/2012 | See all kw1234's reviews (1)as it says in the title, have used them pretty much every day too. Fantastic!! Will deffo be ordering another pair.

Understanding the maps
Broadly, the different colours represent the following:
Red - Landscape very suitable for Barn Owls.
The provision of nest boxes is the main priority. Foraging habitat should be improved if nesting success is low (less than 3 young per pair).
Cream - Landscape quite suitable for Barn Owls.
The provision of foraging habitat is the main priority. Nestboxes should be provided where foraging habitat is above average or being created.
Blue - Landscape generally unsuitable for Barn Owls.
The altitude/vegetation/winter climate determine the area to be largely unsuitable for Barn Owls. However if Barn Owls are already present, encourage as much as possible.
Yellow Hatched Areas - Motorways and dual carriageways. No nestboxes should be erected within 1km of major roads unless the road is screened by hedges or continuous tree lines immediately adjacent to the road surface.
Also displayed on the maps are landscape features to help you identify your location/study area. These are:
Blue lines - Rivers and canals
Black lines - Minor roads

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to fracture.
Thin bones; Low bone density
Osteoporosis is the most common type of bone disease.
Osteoporosis increases the risk for breaking a bone. About half of all women over the age of 50 will have a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra (bone of the spine) during their lifetime.
Bone is living tissue. Existing bone is constantly being replaced by new bone. Your entire skeleton is replaced about every 10 years. Osteoporosis occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone, when too much existing bone is reabsorbed by the body, or both.
The most important cause of osteoporosis is genetic. This means that you inherit the risk from your parents. Other risks include not having enough calcium to build new bone tissue. Calcium is one of the important minerals needed by your body for bones to form. If you do not get enough calcium and vitamin D, or your body does not absorb enough calcium from your diet, your bones may become brittle and more likely to fracture. Other risk factors include smoking and various childhood and adult diseases.
A decrease in estrogen in women at the time of menopause and a decrease in testosterone in men is another major cause of bone loss. Other causes of bone loss include:
Other risk factors include:
There are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis. Many times, people will have a fracture before learning they have the disease.
Pain almost anywhere in the spine can be caused by fractures of the bones of the spine. These are called compression fractures . They often occur without an injury. The pain occurs suddenly or slowly over time.
There can be a loss of height (as much as 6 inches) over time. A stooped posture or kyphosis (also called a dowager's hump) may develop.
Bone mineral density testing (most often with a DEXA scan) measures your bone mineral density. Your health care provider uses this test to:
A spine or hip x-ray may show fracture or collapse of the spinal bones. However, simple x-rays of other bones are not very accurate in predicting whether you are likely to have osteoporosis.
You may need other blood and urine tests if your osteoporosis is thought to be due to a medical condition, rather than simply the usual bone loss seen with older age.
Low bone mineral density (by DEXA scan) also occurs with osteomalacia, another disorder of bone mineralization
Treatment for osteoporosis may involve:
Medicines are used to strengthen bones when:
Medicines used to treat osteoporosis include:
Exercise plays a key role in preserving bone density in older adults. Some of the exercises recommended to reduce your chance of a fracture include:
Avoid any exercise that presents a risk of falling. Also, do not do high-impact exercises that can cause fractures in older adults.
Your body needs calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones strong. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium .
[Note: Some expert groups are not sure the benefits and safety of this amount of Vitamin D and calcium outweigh their risks. Be sure to discuss with your doctor whether supplements are a good choice for you.]
Stop unhealthy habits:
It is important to prevent falls. The following are suggestions on how to do this:
Surgery to treat severe, disabling pain from spinal fractures due to osteoporosis include:
Medicines to treat osteoporosis can help prevent future fractures. But spine bones that have already collapsed cannot be reversed.
Osteoporosis can cause a person to become disabled from weakened bones. Hip fractures are one of the main reasons people are admitted to nursing homes.
Calcium is important for building and maintaining healthy bone. Vitamin D is also needed because it helps your body absorb calcium. Following a healthy, well-balanced diet can help you get these and other important nutrients.
Other tips for prevention:
Medicines can prevent osteoporosis. Your doctor can tell you if any are right for you.

there should be a way to tell if this gay is a mediocre doctor who fixes everything with magic pills or if this is legit and im completelly mental, this is such a stupid subject right now and you guys not need my shit.
mood stabilizers. also anti-anxiety meds work really well for anger (in my experience anyway) like xanax. though i don't think anybody would give you xanax unless you lied to them and told them you have anxiety issues.
it seems like most doctors just prescribe random shit without thinking about it much and i don't think i've ever had a good doctor. but i could recommend stuff if you'd like
Alright then...I'll hit you up in any case, thanks.

As the holiday season approaches, you begin to realize a very dire truth: you still haven't gotten anything for anybody. You squandered the opportunity of Black Friday. The saving grace of Cyber Monday. You even missed out on the marginally dangerous Craigslist Wednesday-between-the-hours-of-midnight-and-4-AM. But you're not out of luck yet — there's still time to scrounge together a few affordable presents that your loved ones might actually, dare I say, like.
No, that's impossible. But there is a chance that you can at least put a positive spin on a few gifts that they'd otherwise revile. Just take a look at our gallery of the very worst presents ever given on television or in movies. Some pretty thoughtless, gawdy, despicable stuff... and we managed to sell each and every one of 'em with a smile! Check out the gallery for inspiration on how to make the pathetic pieces of garbage you'll inevitably settle on doling out to your friends and family seem like timeless treasures.
But if they're still ticked off, don't blame us. All our friends are characters from Cougar Town.

Motors and Gearboxes » Pololu Metal Gearmotors » 25D mm Gearmotors »20.4:1 Metal Gearmotor 25Dx50L mm HPThis cylindrical, 1.97" x 0.98" x 0.98" gearmotor uses a brushed DC motor with extra-strong magnets and a 20.4:1 metal gearbox to deliver a lot of power in a relatively small package. These units have a 0.315"-long, 4 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft. We also carry a lower-power version of this gearmotor. Compare all products in 25D mm Gearmotors.
OverviewThis brushed DC gearmotor is available in high- and low-power versions in a number of gear ratios. Integrated quadrature encoders are also available on certain gear ratios, including just the motor portion by itself (i.e. no gearbox).
Note: At some of the higher gear ratios, these motors can generate enough torque to damage themselves. Any torque greater than about 250 oz-in (18 kg-cm) is likely to damage the gearbox, so we recommend that you avoid stalling the 172:1 HP, 227:1, 378:1, and 499:1 versions of these motors at 6 V. These motors are intended for use at 6 V. In general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage, so they should comfortably operate in the 3 – 9 V range, though they can begin rotating at voltages as low as 1 V. Higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor. Details for item #1572Exact gear ratio: ``(22×22×22×23) / (12×10×10×10) ~~ bb(20.4:1)`` Gearmotor accessoriesThe face plate has two mounting holes threaded for M3 screws. You can use our custom-designed 25D mm metal gearmotor bracket (shown in the picture below) to mount the gearmotor to your project via these mounting holes and the screws that come with the bracket.
The 4 mm diameter gearbox output shaft works with Pololu universal aluminum mounting hub for 4mm shafts, which can be used to mount our larger Pololu wheels (60mm-, 70mm-, 80mm-, and 90mm-diameter) or custom wheels and mechanisms to the gearmotor's output shaft as shown in the left picture below. Alternatively, you could use our 4mm scooter wheel adapter to mount many common scooter, skateboard, and inline skate wheels to the gearmotor's output shaft as shown in the right picture below.
These are the same type of motors used in the Wild Thumper all-terrain chassis, so the gearbox's output shaft also works directly with the 120mm-diameter Wild Thumper wheels (the left picture below shows a 25D mm gearmotor while the right picture shows the smaller 20D mm gearmotor):
DimensionsThe diagram below shows the dimensions (in mm) of the 25D mm line of gearmotors. The value of
Selecting the Right GearmotorWe offer a wide selection of metal gearmotors that offer different combinations of speed and torque. Our metal gearmotor comparison table can help you find the motor that best meets your project's requirements.

No, 4. �BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2.5.'1922 Price lOOnts MANY STATES REPRESENTED 'AT INAUGURATION DINNER' Undergraduates Commended For Ottering Hospitality To Alumnae Spending Night FOUkTEEN SPEECHES GIVEN Three hundred and thirty alumnae at- tended the alumnae banquet in honor of President Park last Friday night. The supper was .given in Pembroke,.Hall, which was decorated with bright colored autumn leaves harmonizing with the chrysanthe- mums on the tables. The speeches began as soon as the tables were cleared and were informal suggestions and opinions. Miss Anne Todd, '02, president of the Alumnae Association, was in the chair. "It gives me great pleasure," she said, "to welcome so many alumnae. That there arc- so many here is a miracle wrought by the good 'will of the neighboring alumnae and of the undergraduates. Through their president, Miss Martin, the alumnae wen- offered Pembroke-West and the undergrad- uates arc scattered about the college, sleep- ing on window seats, or two in single beds; and we are in their comfortable quarters. Our most grateful thanks to our absent<�<� hostesses!" Miss� Todd ended with the story of the man who put an acorn into the ground arid ."left the growth to God" arid in this same feeling'of faith and trust, she said, "we must leave the growth of the College to I'rcsiJlent Park's wisdom and care." Miss Bancroft, '02, Is Toastmistress Miss Todd introduced Miss Elizabeth Neilds Bancrfift, president of '98 and toas* mistress of the evening. Miss Bancroft mentioned the places from which the three hundred and thirty alumnae had come to "give greetings to the new President"; an 1 after a silent toast to the two first presi- dents of the College introduced the next sneaker, Josephine Coldmark, '98. After speaking of her own undergraduate days, of the nonsense, the fooling and the same more serious question of self-government and academic duties that impress the un- dergraduate of today, Miss Goldmark spoke of President Park. "Hers is no cmp.y honor, her path is a difficult one, not- be- , cause she is a successor to President Thomas who held the torch so magnifi- cently, but because this is the era of dis- illusionment. We turn now with a new interest and passion to education, we bring flexible minds and open hearts. The new President may count on this, and that the ' education here is combined with the spirit of youth, the hope of the world." Mrs. W. Ladd (A. E. Rhoads, '89L trustee and director of the College, who spoke next: "President Thomas was the president of the College of yesterday, to- night we must turn toward the future; there are many difficulties but the feeling of the directors is one of happy confidence. A daughter of BryW Mawr is the President of Bryn Mawr, President Park has the best qualiticjHBwisdom. simplicity, humor and scholasticism." ' Millicent Cary, '20, was .the youngest alumna, to speak. She made two sugges- tions that she had learned in her last year's experience at an English university, "One thing that I should like to see done," she said, "is a system for real leisure estab- lished, leisure to think, read, get ideas, and make friends, and another thing is the es- tablishment of comprehensive examinations, with more specialization in group subjects and an opportunity .for original work." The fourth speaker was Harriet Brad- ford, *15f; she began by complimenting President Park's "master stroke" which let "all the alumnae tell her how to run the CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 FREEMEN TO RECEIVE LANTERN, ACCORDING TO .OLD TRADITIONS Lantern Night, one of the oldest cus- toms in Bryn Mawr history, will be oh- scr.y,ed Friday Evening, when the Fresh- men receive the lanterns k�m the Sophomore class. * , The first class to receive lanterns in College was 1890, when the ceremony was merely an incident in an impromptu entertainment which the Sophojnores gave the Freshmen. Later the ceremony was transferred to the night when the Freshmen received their caps and gowns and was removed from the campus to the Cloisters, where it has been held ever since.

EH we all struggle with the daily grind of life, and it seems to be getting worse and worse. We all live paycheck to paycheck, if you are lucky to have a paycheck. My best friend is very successful, and I envy where he gotten to in life. I always saw him as the guy with a lot of money, far bigger house, material things, and a 6 car garage I would kill to have. We have been friends of over 50 years, and one day he put it into perspective, me thinking he didn't have a care in the world. Told me he goes through the exact same thing as we do, but its just bigger numbers for him. I'm thinking he has his made, but actually he just bring in more and spends more. He has the same never ending stuggle to make the monthly payments, bring in enough to make it to next month.
I guess we have to be thankful at any level for what we have. None of us have everything we would like, but when you consider how bad things could be, it isn't so bad. What if you were in poor health and unable to ever work again? Had no medical coverage? Were the victim of a crime? Had a devestating death of a loved one? Catastrophic illness of a child?
I know we have different outlooks about God, but I love the story of the footprints in the sand, where the person thought when the footprints disappeared God abandoned him, until God told him, "thats when I carried you". Looking at anything in a cynical way, or in a positive way is a choice.

People with diabetes are at higher risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) than those without diabetes. Tuberculosis, an infectious disease of the lungs, affects 9.4 million people and kills 1.7 million worldwide every year. 1
TB is a major public health problem in many low- and middle-income countries, where the number of people with diabetes is also rising rapidly. Regions, such as Africa and Asia that are most heavily affected by tuberculosis are also those that have some of the highest numbers of people with diabetes (Map 4. [2]2 [3]), and will experience the biggest increases by 2030.
Growing double burden
The growing prevalence of diabetes poses a challenge for TB control as uncontrolled diabetes leads to a greater risk of developing TB. A recent study showed that countries that saw an increase in diabetes prevalence also had a significant increase in the number of people with TB. 2 This suggests that increasing diabetes prevalence could make attainment of the Millennium Development Goals on tuberculosis more difficult to achieve (Section 4.4).
These trends reflect the important links between the diseases. Several studies have looked at the association between diabetes and tuberculosis in developed countries 3 and found that people with diabetes are around 2.5 times more likely to develop tuberculosis. 4 These findings were also true of developing regions including Africa where one study found that the prevalence (%) of diabetes was twice as high in people with tuberculosis than in people without tuberculosis. 2
Map 4.2 [4] shows estimates of the proportion of tuberculosis attributable to diabetes. In countries where the burden of diabetes is relatively high, for example Mexico, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United States of America, it is a significant contributor to the number of cases of tuberculosis. However, where rates of tuberculosis are high and diabetes is relatively low, diabetes contributes to a smaller proportion of the TB burden.
Treatment and screening
Not only does diabetes contribute to a person's risk of developing tuberculosis, but it also makes it more difficult to treat those who have both diseases. A review looking at the impact of diabetes on tuberculosis treatment found that people with diabetes are more likely to fail treatment and more likely to die during treatment compared to those without diabetes. 5
The link between tuberculosis and diabetes requires interventions that address both diseases. For example, screening for tuberculosis in people with diabetes and screening for diabetes in people with tuberculosis could offer opportunities to increase detection and prevent diabetes or tuberculosis-related complications.
A recent review showed that when people with diabetes were checked for tuberculosis, more people were found to have previously undiagnosed TB than in the general population. This was also true of people who had tuberculosis, and were checked for diabetes, in which many more were found to have previously undiagnosed diabetes than in the general population. 6
People with diabetes who have good glucose control are less likely to develop tuberculosis. 7 8 In addition, tuberculosis treatment leads to decreasing blood glucose levels 6 suggesting that integrated management of tuberculosis in people with high blood glucose could lead to better diabetes control.
Disease management
Effective management of both diseases requires the same elements including early detection, providing guided standard treatment, and having an effective drug supply. The same principles can be applied to both diseases and help many people affected by tuberculosis and diabetes. Setting standards on these simple priorities could lead to effective detection and treatment for diabetes as has been seen in global tuberculosis control.

Happy Veteran's Day to all those who served in our armed forces in our history. Today is for those who signed on the dotted line, stepped up and served the United States of America, in one of our branches of services. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, or Coast Guard has protected and defended our freedoms since 1776.
When I was young I never thought much about Veteran's Day or Memorial Day, but I know my Dad always did, and now understand why he did. Dad served in the Navy during WW2, and they used Dad in a special way, since he was a Areonautical Engineer. Dad served stateside, stationed in Corpis Christi, Texas, doing projects to better improve the aircraft used in the war. Dad was a engineer for Bell Aircraft in the early 40's having worked secretly on the first American Jet aircraft the "Aerocomet", as well as the "Aerocobra" fighter which Bell made thousands of. During the War, Dad did testing to fighters and bombers, including the B17. Mom was home with my sister and grandparents like others while the war was being faught. Rationing, drives, airraids, and civil defence drills, it was a wartime enviorment. Dad served his country, the war ended, and he returned to civilian life, and to a career in aviation with Bell Aircraft. Dad had a very close relation with the military in his career, spending much of his time with Wright Patterson, top generals, and test pilots for the air force.
The older I get, the more I appreciate and think about Veteran's Day, and Memorial Day. I reciently had a old high school friend contact me, finding me by contacting John. He faught in Viet Nam, 2 tours, highly decorated, including 2 purple Hearts. My friend has had a long battle with throat cancer, his voice affected, we are no longer those 101st airborne paratroopers or Marines we once were. Greg saw heavy duty action in the 101st, while I was a reservist, and was lucky to have been spared from what he went through. Greg reminded me talking of returning home on leave, to being hated and spit on, and wearing uniforms was not really advised. Our vets came home shot up, or dead, only to be greeted with distain. It was shameful.
The difference in mindset from my Dad's generation, to the Viet Nam generation was a stark difference, and thankfully today we have not taken public opinion of these wars out on those who wear the uniforms, like in the 60's.
If you seen anyone in uniform today, thank them. If you know anyone who ever served, thank them. They deserve our respect, and gratitude. We live in a era of no draft, and I have said this many times, to appreciate and honor those who have enlisted. One heartbeat and a signature is all it would take to return this country to drafting again. Not having to have that obligation is a luxury, the least we can do is honor them today.
Dads reflexions all this time, are what mine are on these days now. We are so thankful for a long full life, to have had a family, enjoyed the good things in life as free Americans, thanks to those who have worn a uniform.

Managing greatness
By Freddy Berowski
Noted baseball author and historian Harold Seymour penned the book "The Golden Age of Baseball" about early 20th century baseball – a time when Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson were the stars of the game. Some would say that what we are experiencing now is the golden age of the baseball manager.
Entering the 2010 season, three of baseball's five all-time winningest managers are active. At 2,552 wins, Cardinals skipper Tony LaRussa sits about three seasons away from moving into second-place all-time, ahead of New York Giants Hall of Fame manager John McGraw. Thirteen times LaRussa has piloted clubs to a playoff birth, including two World Championships.
Bobby Cox of the Braves and Joe Torre of the Dodgers, with a combined five World Series championships and 29 postseason appearances, come in at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively, on the all-time manager win list. With the exception of the strike-shortened 1994 season, Cox lead Atlanta to a first-place finish every season from 1991 to 2005, a mark that is unparalleled in Major League Baseball history.
Meanwhile, for 14 seasons beginning in 1996, Torre has lead either the Yankees or the Dodgers to the postseason with either a first-place finish or a wild-card berth.
To find the last time that three of baseball's top five winningest managers were active in a season, we have to go back 60 years. The 1950 season was the last for Connie Mack and Joe McCarthy, and also marked the beginning of Bucky Harris' third stint with the Washington Senators.
At 3,731 wins, no one will be closing in on Mack's spot at No. 1 on the list anytime soon. But if history holds true it is only a matter of time before Cooperstown comes calling for LaRussa, Cox and Torre. Other than those three active skippers, the rest of the top 11 all-time winningest managers are already enshrined in Cooperstown.

We're just a few hours away from tonight's Knockout Round clash between the LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, here's a few links to get you to the opening kickoff.
*David Beckham attests that this is no last hurrah for the Galaxy and there are no favorites in this series.
*LA has their handful as they look to break down the organized and counter-minded Whitecaps
*Vancouver captain Jay DeMerit attests that HDC is no house of horrors for his team.
TODD DUNIVANT vs. DANE RICHARDS
The wily Galaxy left back will have his hands full as he attempts to shut down the speedy Jamaican.
ROBBIE KEANE vs. JAY DEMERIT
Perhaps the biggest battle of the night, Keane will attempt to use his ball skills and speed to take on the physical Whitecaps defender.
DAVID BECKHAM vs. BARRY ROBSON
The battle of experienced midfielders will be pivotal as LA look to break down Vancouver.
PREDICTED LINEUP: Saunders; Franklin, Gonzalez, Meyer, Dunivant; Donovan, Juninho, Beckham, Magee; Keane, Buddle
MLSsoccer.com has begun their voting for 2012 AT&T Goal of the Year and the LA Galaxy have three nominees in the first four group stages.
In Group 1, David Beckham's free kick strike against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Sept. 1 faces a number of quality goals, including Darren Mattocks' infamous leaping header against Toronto FC on July 11. In Group 2, Marcelo Sarvas' goal against the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 30 takes on the competition that includes Chris Wondolowski's flick against the Galaxy on June 30. In Group 4, Galaxy golden boot winner Robbie Keane is represented for his classy finish against Real Salt Lake on Oct. 6.
Fan votes will ultimately break down 16 groups of 64 goals down into a final four, before the 2012 AT&T Goal of the Year is announced on Wednesday, November 29. Voting for these first four groups closes tonight at 11:59 pm PT. Groups 5-8 will be announced tomorrow.
CARSON, Calif. – Vancouver Whitecaps FC entered the postseason in less than impressive fashion, but according to their Knockout Round opponents, the LA Galaxy, that is of little concern.
Over the last ten games, the Whitecaps have earned just one win—a 4-0 drubbing of Chivas USA—, but when the schedule is extended to the last 17 matches, Vancouver has won just three times. To add to their end of the season woes, the Whitecaps have earned just one road win since July—a victory over the Colorado Rapids on July 4—going 0-7-2 in that nine game span.
Although that Vancouver have had their recent struggles, Galaxy midfielder David Beckham, who has played in his share of postseason and Cup matches over his career, admitted that there were such things as "underdogs" or "favorites" in a playoff match.
"People will be looking at them, maybe, as the underdogs, but I don't see it that way," said Beckham. "There are no underdogs in a one-off game in my eyes. They could come here and think that they're playing in another stadium, all the pressure is off of them, and they're going to come here and hopefully beat us."
With that in mind, Beckham stated that there was no chance that LA will be overlooking a talented Vancouver side.
"Not in our locker room, none of our players are in that state of mind," Beckham added. "We have to believe that we are very cautious of Vancouver because we know that they can play and cause us problems, and score goals. They have players that have played in Europe and played in big games in their team. So we're well aware of their firepower and we're well-aware that they'll get every man behind the ball on every attack, so it's up to us to be patient, but break them down when we can."
If the Galaxy do bypass Vancouver, then they may be forced to where the title of underdogs as they look to defend their MLS Cup title, after having played an extra match then the rest of the Western Conference field.
However, according to Robbie Keane, the Galaxy are turning their back to such thoughts, choosing to focus on the task at hand.
"We don't really think too much about it because we're playing at home tomorrow. Obviously, it's certainly an advantage for us when you're playing in your home stadium. Listen, after this and hopefully we qualify for the final, its home and away until we get to the final…We'll just continue and concentrate on tomorrow, and hopefully get a good win so we can look forward after that."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are aware that they'll need to bring an attacking impetus in Thursday's Knockout round match against Vancouver Whitecaps.
In Vancouver's scoreless draw against Real Salt Lake, the Whitecaps conceded the ball to Salt Lake, allowing RSL to control 69 percent of possession. But through an organized 4-2-3-1, Vancouver negated many RSL attacks, and in fact enjoyed the finest chance of the night as a Darren Mattocks header was called back for offside.
As the Galaxy prepare for Thursday's Knockout Round match against Vancouver, they know that they must find a way to break down the organized Whitecaps, but also be wary of their speed on the flanks.
"We have to assume that the way that they've spoken and the way that they played last week in Salt Lake is indicative of how they're going to come here, and play," said Galaxy captain Landon Donovan. "If that's the case, then two things need to happen. We need to be patient and very alert when they counter. They have two very dynamic attacking players in Dane [Richards] and Darren [Mattocks] who can really make you pay if you're not alert. We have to be on our toes in that way and if a goal doesn't come early, and we're putting pressure on then we just got to be patient and keep going."
While breaking through a Whitecaps defense anchored by defender Jay DeMerit promises to be difficult, LA are confident that they will be able to unlock Vancouver.
"That's why we have good players here. We have players that can see situations and make things happen," said Keane. "If you look at the players that we have in the squad, we have players that are quite capable of unlocking defenses so it's up to us. Who knows how they're going to play, they might come out, and go for it all or they might sit out and catch us on the counter attack. We won't know until tomorrow."
CARSON, Calif. -- The Home Depot Center has hardly been a place of success for Vancouver Whitecaps FC, but Vancouver captain Jay DeMerit attests that will not be on the mind of the 'Caps by the time that Thursday's Knockout Round match against the LA Galaxy kicks off.
In their two-year history in MLS, Vancouver have gone 1-3-2 at The HDC with their one defeat coming against Chivas USA in March, 2012 while their record against LA is 0-3-0 with zero goals scored. Although the Whitecaps are relishing their role as an underdog against the defending MLS Cup Champion Galaxy, DeMerit assured reporters after Wednesday's training session in Carson, that the venue was not going to be in the back of the Whitecaps' mind.
"Hopefully, we come in with a different mentality. We have won here, so it's not like we have a jinx and we haven't won in this stadium," said DeMerit. "I'm hoping that we don't blame it on the stadium, but blame it on the opponent. What we can do is know that we have prepared for the opponent in the right way. Hopefully, the tactics will work and now we're just looking forward to getting out there and battling it...It's a great stadium, it's a great surface. Some surfaces are harder to play on, but this one is good. We can get the ball down when needed and it's always a good climate."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have accomplished much during David Beckham's tenure with the LA Galaxy, but as LA's core enters the postseason for the fourth consecutive year together, there's little doubt in Beckham's mind that there is still much left to accomplish.
After re-signing with the club in January, Beckham has enjoyed another impressive season, playing in 24 matches while accruing seven goals, and nine assists. But even though the Englishman and LA have qualified for the playoffs for a fourth consecutive year, some have questioned when it will be time for the veteran-laden Galaxy to re-tool, and look to the future.
However, Beckham is paying little attention to those calls that say the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs may be a last hurrah of sorts for LA.
"Who knows, people said that last year. People said that we won the championship now and maybe it's time to move some of the older players on, and start fresh. Sometimes that is the truth, but it's been great for the last three or four years that we've all stayed together," said Beckham. "It brings stability because if you're with players for long enough, you get to know them on and off the field. It makes when you win a championship more special than anything. Who knows, it could be."
When asked if this season could be his last, Beckham played it close to the vest stating that he'd rather wait until after the postseason to see how his body feels. That being said, the hyper-competitive Beckham adamantly stated that –potentially—winning two MLS Cup titles is not nearly enough for him.
"It doesn't matter how many times that I win; I'll always have that hunger," said Beckham. "Even when I stop playing, I'll have hunger to do something better and be the best at something, and always be successful. No matter where I am, no matter what age I am, no matter how many championships that I've won, I still wake up and still want to win another championship every year. That hunger is always going to be there."
CARSON, Calif. – In 2011, the LA Galaxy entered the MLS Cup Playoffs on a high as Supporters' Shield winners, who went undefeated at The Home Depot Center en route to an MLS Cup title. But this season, the Galaxy overcame a slow start to enter the playoffs in the Knockout Round, where they'll face fifth-seeded Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Galaxy captain Landon Donovan and defender Todd Dunivant have been in this situation before and admits that there are some parallels. In 2005, LA snuck into the postseason as the Western Conference's lowest seed and then embarked on a dream run to the Final, knocking off the Supporters' Shield winning San Jose Earthquakes, Colorado Rapids, and New England Revolution as LA captured their second MLS Cup title.
"We had a certain confidence about us and a certain inner-knowledge about our team," said Dunivant. "If you look at our team, we had an awesome team, maybe under performed in the regular season, but made no mistakes in the playoffs."
Although a shocking moment like Guillermo "El Pando" Ramirez's goal in extra time of the MLS Cup final with the Galaxy's cadre of superstars and renown role players, Dunivant believes that experience is analogous to LA's current situation of, perhaps, underperforming in the regular season.
"Yeah I'd say that 3-8-2 is underperforming to start the year and we've righted the ship since then, so all that doesn't matter," Dunivant said. "We've done what we needed to do to get into the playoffs and now it's time to make it count when it matters most."
But according to Donovan, the difference is the amount of experience that LA's current team have as opposed to the side that won the 2005 final.
"I guess the difference is that we have the experience of having done it and so that really helps. At the end of the day, if you play well it doesn't matter, but if you play well, it doesn't matter, but if you play well and get into certain situations then you can always draw back on, "okay this is what we need to do in certain situations, if we get down a goal, if we get down two goals, if we go up a goal, if we go up two goals."
"We know how to manage it and we know how to win games when they're knockout games when they're knockout games, and your season is over if you lose," Donovan added. "We know how to handle that and if we play the right way then that might be a huge advantage for us."
The LA Galaxy issued their official injury report on Oct. 30, but unlike previous weeks there were no changes.
The complete report is below...
OUT: DF A.J. DeLaGarza (L knee sprain); DF Leonardo (R knee inflammation); DF David Junior Lopes (L facial fracture); MF Kyle Nakazawa (back spasms); QUESTIONABLE: MF David Beckham (L ankle soreness); MF Landon Donovan (L knee bone bruise)
CARSON, Calif. -- After Vancouver Whitecaps FC earned an important scoreless draw against Real Salt Lake on Oct. 26 with his Scottish Designated Player duo of Barry Robson and Kenny Miller on the bench for most of the match, the Vancouver Sun speculated that 'Caps head coach Martin Rennie may leave the pair on the bench for the start of Thursday's Knockout Round game against the LA Galaxy.
Both players joined the Whitecaps in July and almost immediately immersed themselves in Rennie's starting XI with Robson playing 17 games with three goals and two assists, while Miller participated in 13 matches, notching two goals and one assists. But even though Miller and Robson are integral pieces in Vancouver's offense, the Galaxy are waiting for the Whitecaps to make the first move.
"We'll just have to wait and see, they obviously had a good performance on the road in their last game," said defender Todd Dunivant. "Those guys didn't start, but they obviously came in and contributed. I wouldn't be surprised either way."
While Dunivant admits that Rennie could decide either way, Associate head coach Dave Sarachan believes that LA will see the two Scottish DPs on the field at some point on Thursday.
"We'll see them, I'm not sure how it's going to play out whether they're starters from the beginning of the game or they're brought into the game," said Sarachan. "I would find it hard to believe that we don't see them in one capacity or the other."
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena discussed Thursday's Knockout Round match between the LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a league teleconference.
Below is a transcript of Arena's thoughts...
(On Vancouver struggling heading into the playoffs…)
ARENA: "It doesn't mean anything. It's a fresh tournament. We've had in recent history in our league, team that go under the radar, so to speak, and go on to win the cup. 2009 and 2010 are examples where I think Salt Lake and Colorado qualify for the tournament on the last day and then went on to win it. So whatever happened during the regular season for Vancouver or Los Angeles really doesn't matter at this point."
(On what he expects Vancouver to do with recently benched Designated Players Barry Robson and Kenny Miller...)
ARENA: "I really don't know. There's no point in me spending a whole lot of time and energy on it. They're obviously going to be on the field at some point, whether they start or not is a decision for [Vancouver] Coach [Martin] Rennie to make. Our main focus is certainly getting our team prepared to play and not being too concerned with the lineup that Vancouver comes out with."
(On Vancouver's strongest points…)
ARENA: "I think there strong point is they've decided pretty much how they're going to come out and play this game I guess from their preparation for the Salt Lake game. They're focused on keeping it real tight in the back and picking their spots to go forward on the break, trying to get some restarts and trying to win a game that way. They got a dress rehearsal, as they say, during the Salt Lake game so I think that a strength for them."
(On whether Vancouver have any weaknesses…)
ARENA: "Not anything that I think sticks out and I think at this point, as I've said, every team in the championship run is capable of winning."
(On what Robbie Keane has meant to the Galaxy…)
ARENA: "Since he became a part of the Galaxy in the summer of 2011, he's been a leader on the field and off and obviously his goal scoring speaks for itself. It's really that simple, he's a personality, he's a quality attacking player and he makes our team different."
(On whether he is surprised Keane made the transition to MLS so well, so quickly:
ARENA: "Robbie has a long history and I think everywhere he's gone, for the most part, he's been pretty good. He got through the transition a lot quicker than most players."
(On Landon Donovan moving to midfield in the season finale…)
ARENA: "We haven't made any decisions on how we're going to pair our guys in the playoffs. There's only one game, the last game, where you saw that. Landon's been out for a while so we haven't had that opportunity. We had the opportunity to play Edson with Robbie a little bit so we took advantage of that, but certainly as we attempt to move forward in this tournament there's going to be plenty of times that we'll see Landon and Robbie together and Edson and Robbie together."
(On how they got through the slow start to the season…)
ARENA: "With every team, every year is different, with every game it's different and through experience you kind of understand how to work through your good moments and your bad moments. We just simply dealt with it one day at a time, one game at a time and tried to find the right formula for our team, tried to get them as healthy as possible. We had a lot of unusual circumstances during the year: injuries, issues with player departures, whether it was David around the Olympics or even at times Landon was released for a friendly game outside a FIFA window. We figured out what worked best for us. We had one thing after another snowballing itself and it made it difficult to get a team in rhythm and really basically throughout the year we never had a full lineup in so all we did was plug away and week-to-week, game-to-game tried to find the right way to be successful with the group we had. And obviously Omar returned in July and made things better, and then recently we lost A.J., so it's been one of those years. I don't think there's any simple answer to your question, we just tried to the best we could. We have a group with a good attitude. The last half of the season, our last 17 games we have 34 points, which is actually above our rate from last year when we had such a good year. It's a lot to be said about the group and how they dealt with adversity and came back and had a good performance to position ourselves to be back in the hunt for the MLS Cup."
(On whether the team is finally finding its rhythm from last season…)
ARENA: "We're a lot closer. I think these things, you're never quite sure. This is a whole different competition now than the last 34 games and it'll test us in terms of the depth of our team, the fitness of our players. I think we're coming close, but I think you're going to see because of the structure of this tournament this year with so many games in a short period of time that teams are going to have to use more players than they would prefer probably. And maybe you won't have the kind of rhythm you want to have. For ourselves there's going to be one game after another, hopefully, over the next couple weeks so that's a challenge. But even for the teams that enter the tournament over the weekend it's a three game a week rhythm and a lot of stuff is going to happen from suspensions to fatigue to injuries so it'll be a challenge for everyone. And it may not be as easy to get teams in rhythm as well."
(On Tommy Meyer and how he has done since taking over for injured A.J. DeLaGarza…)
ARENA: "He's doing very well. He started the year where it was a little difficult for him being a young player coming into the league and I think he, more than any player we've seen over the year has improved a lot. He's absorbed a lot of information and he's just done a great job for us over the last couple of months. We saw Tommy's improvement and knew that if he had to be on the field on a regular basis for us, he'd be fine and I think he's shown over the last month or so for us that he's moving along well and he's a good center back."
(On developing partnership with Omar Gonzalez in central defense…)
ARENA: "I think every week those kind of relationships get better. They've certainly shown more confidence with each other."
(On the first leg of the semifinal against San Jose being listed on the club's website…)
ARENA: "I basically have no idea what you're talking about. But I would think every team in this tournament has an understanding when the games are being played and if they're selling tickets I guess you have to have a notice on when potentially the next games are."
(On being called a heavy favorite…)
ARENA: "We're preparing our team to play on Thursday and we're confident that we can win the game, period. We respect Vancouver, but we're going to step on the field and try to win whether it's Vancouver or any other team in the tournament. That's our attitude, to get on the field and secure the win."
(On whether he feels that being the favorite puts more pressure on his team…)
ARENA: "I haven't spoken to any of the odds makers for the game and don't know any of that. All we're doing is getting our team ready to play. We've been in the playoffs before and we understand the challenges that are associated with this and we're using those experiences to hopefully prepare ourselves like we have over the last four years."

Local poet launches new book at Genesee Depot restaurant
Cornerstone Restaurant, W31343 Highway 83 in Genesee Depot, is hosting a reception in honor of local poet Mary Jo Balistreri's new book, "Gathering the Harvest," on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 3 p.m. Balistreri will be reading from her new collection of poems and signing the books. The event is free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments will be served.
"I'm really honored to be reading at Cornerstone Restaurant and share the poetry that is essential in saving my life," says Balistreri. "Through poetry, I feel encouraged to explore my interior life, the life outside my window, to witness, praise, and grieve the journey of this one life and make sense of it. I always hope that in some way the best of my poems will resonate with others in a way playful or compassionate, and serve as a starting point for intimacy as if the reader and I are sitting across the table from each other, sharing our stories."
Balistreri is an accomplished poet who has earned awards from writing organizations in Wisconsin, Illinois and Florida. In the last year, she won her second Jade Ring honor from the Wisconsin Writers Association and was also the first place winner in the Franciscan Center's Spiritual Literature Contest for nonfiction. Her poems have been widely published in journals and anthologies such as Verse Wisconsin, The Healing Muse, and Crab Creek Review.
Gathering the Harvest is Balistreri's second book of poems published by Bellowing Ark Press. Her books can be purchased at the event or through her website.

Going out? Plan extra time
March has come roaring in like a lion with snow this morning, making for a messy commute.
Roads -- even city streets -- are snow covered, and the drive is not an easy one. Motorists should plan extra time to get where they're going.
Forecasters say the snow should ease off by this afternoon, but is expected to be followed by sleet and/or freezing rain.
Tomorrow, look for colder temps -- in the teens. But it's Wisconsin in March, so things are looking up; it could reach mid-30s by the weekend.

Village of Big Bend — There wasn't an open seat inside Village Hall on Feb. 26 as sparks flared between neighbors during a public hearing on a proposed development of an outdoor recreational facility in the village of Big Bend.
Village of Big Bend resident Steven Adkins has requested a conditional use permit to build a multiuse sports field on his residential property located at W234 S6790 Big Bend Drive. The proposed field would include accessories such as a scoreboard, soccer goals, lighting and other equipment.
"On paper it looks really big and scary," said Adkins, who sat in the front row during the public hearing with his four children — one wearing a sports jersey. "I want to be able to play with my kids in my backyard."
Those in attendance — many of whom said they live near Adkins — responded to the request with a resounding "no."
Village President James Soneberg opened the hourlong public hearing by reading and summarizing letters sent in by village residents. All of the letters opposed the project.

Portions of Lake Country bike trail in Delafield, Pewaukee closing soon
Closures in Delafield and Pewaukee along the Lake Country Bike Trail are imminent.
Partial closures have occurred intermittently since August, when the American Transmission Company (ATC) first announced it would be removing and replacing high-voltage transmission poles and wires along the trail as part of a larger effort called the Quad County Electric Reliability Project.
The closures are anticipated to begin in early March.
Vegetation clearing and restoration work will shut down a portion of the trail from Highway P to Glen Cove Road until April or May. Alissa Braatz, an ATC corporate communications officer, said in an email that the work is weather dependent, so the time line for completion may fluctuate if Wisconsin experiences another long winter.
Braatz said updated signs warning Lake Country residents of the impending closures have been posted at various entry points along the trail, and she said that ATC is also sending out informational postcards explaining the closures to residents who live near the Glen Cove Road portion of the trail.
» Read Full ArticleEagle detachment requests tossed out by Palmyra-Eagle school board
Despite two of five petitions to detach from the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District and attach to the Mukwonago Area School District being determined as invalid, the P-EASD school board unanimously denied all five requests to detach on Feb. 25.
Following more than two hours of presentations from petitioners for the detachment, administrators and counsel for the district, along with resident comments against the detachment, the board came out of closed session and shared financial information that clinched board members decisions on the matter.
Already staring at a potential loss of more than $1 million in revenue by 2018-19, if the five detachments were to go through, a finance report from Ehlers Group indicated P-EASD could be stuck paying Mukwonago between $3 and $7 million, depending on how assets and liabilities would be distributed.
That came down to a "game changer" that threatened the livelihood of the Palmyra-Eagle district for board member Tom Novak and the rest of the board, as each resolution to deny the petitions was unanimously approved.
"This is it. We own it now," board President Scott Hoff told the crowd standing to applaud school board members in the middle school gymnasium.
