Rep. Patrick Kennedy: "Taking a New Direction"
by Charles Lemos, Thu Feb 11, 2010 at 10:54:36 PM EST
Representative Patrick Kennedy who represents the Rhode Island First Congressional District will announce this weekend that he will retire after eight terms in Congress according to the Associated Press.
A Democratic official says Rep. Patrick Kennedy has decided not to seek re-election for his seat representing Rhode Island in the U.S. Congress.
The official spoke to The Associated Press only on the condition that his name not be used because he was not authorized to speak ahead of the official announcement.
The decision by the eight-term congressman comes less than a month after a stunning Republican upset in the race for the Massachusetts Senate seat his late father, Edward Kennedy, held for almost half a century.
Patrick Kennedy has been in and out of treatment for substance abuse since crashing his car outside the U.S Capitol in 2006. Still, he has been comfortably re-elected twice since then, after making mental health care his signature issue in Washington.
Kennedy plans to air two-minute commercials about his decision to air on three Rhode Island TV stations on Sunday night.
In his recorded video, the son of the late Senator Ted Kennedy is quoted as saying that his life is "taking a new direction." The two minute ad, emotional at times but heartfelt throughout, will air Sunday night.
Unless another scion of the Kennedy political dynasty chooses to run, Congress will be without a Kennedy for the first time since 1962, when the late Senator Kennedy was first elected.
Rep. Kennedy becomes the 14th Democrat to announce his retirement before this year's midterms. His Rhode Island district, however, is solidly Democratic giving Gore, Kerry and Obama well over 60 percent of the vote in the last three presidential elections. 18 Republicans have declared they will retire.
The Rhode Island First Congressional district covers the northern and eastern parts of the Ocean State. The district includes parts of Providence as well as most of Rhode Island's other major cities including Newport, Pawtucket and Woonsocket. While it's too early to tell who will jump in on the Democratic side, on the GOP side, John Loughlin, a former lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and current member of the Rhode Island House, had already announced.

Hey BYB. I know we are all pretty salty about the Tigers vs Yankees game from Sunday, but I have some pictures I thought I would share. I wish I had one of Prince's monster HR, but I cannot predict the future. I attended the game with my girlfriend and sat in the bleachers - section 236. Not bad seats. Towards the end of the game her and I went to check out some more views. I have been to Yankee stadium several times since moving to NY, but only seem to make it to one game a year with the Tigers. If you ever have the opportunity, Yankee Stadium is a nice place, but depending on where you sit, you can be ragged on the whole game. I prefer the left field bleachers or anywhere that 19-22 year olds are not sitting. Anyway, I know they are not AP or Getty quality and they are taken from an iPhone, but I thought someone may appreciate them nonetheless. Enjoy and Go Tigers!

Florida sizzled from the field in the first half of its 74-56 romp over Wisconsin in the O'Connell Center on Wednesday night, and tightened the screws on defense in the second half. But we'll remember this night as the one on which Erik Murphy, fighting a cold, turned in one of the greatest performances in Gators history.
Murphy bolted from the gate, scoring 16 first-half points (13 in a little over the first 11 minutes) en route to a 24-point performance that tied his career high, grabbed eight rebounds, and became just the third Florida player ever to make every shot from the field with more than eight attempts, joining David Lee and Joakim Noah in that tiny fraternity by going 10-for-10 on the night. Murphy also added a steal and a block, and didn't even need a lot of the threes we've come to expect him to stroke to get his points, showing off a well-rounded game that extends from under the basket to beyond the line.
CBS Sports' Jeff Goodman was at this game, and has long been a Murphy fan and a Kenny Boynton skeptic; he certainly got a powerful piece of evidence for his position tonight, and material for really trolly tweets, as Murphy played his best game while Boynton finished 3-for-9 from the floor for 10 points and had three assists and three turnovers. But Boynton didn't need to be great for Florida to win this one, not with Mike Rosario playing one of his best games as a Gator, too.
Rosario, who has ample talent and has been molded into more than a scorer by Billy Donovan, had 15 points, four boards, and four assists, and his four turnovers were largely inconsequential, three coming when Florida had a double-digit lead. Rosario is a disciplined defender now, if not a ferocious one, and that alone is a sea change from the indifferent player who was a huge liability for the Gators early last season; the more important thing for him is that he seems to be taking to the starting lineup like a bat to the night, sliding into a spot that has been created by Scottie Wilbekin's suspension and Casey Prather's concussions and making it his own. If Rosario can keep working on keeping turnovers to a minimum, Florida has a potent second perimeter scorer to pair with Boynton or a fantastic instant offense option off the bench in him.
Of course, it's easy to find what looks good on a night when the Gators shoot 75 percent in the first half and 61.9 percent from the game, hold their opponent to 35.6 percent from the field, get 74 points on 42 shots (for my money, the nuttiest stat on night with many), and never trail, and it's easy to ignore some of the things that weren't so great. Will Yeguete's emergence as an offensive threat continues (nine points, eight boards, three offensive rebounds), and his free throw shooting is much improved; we'll remember that, and not that Florida struggled mightily to establish Patric Young, who took five shots, scored eight points, had seven boards, and coughed the ball up five times. We'll note that Murphy and Rosario ruled, or that Michael Frazier (eight points, two threes, and five boards in 19 minutes) was good, and not that Billy Donovan played his five starters for 170 of the 200 minutes available in the game.
We'll also remember that this was a Final Four-caliber performance by a team that seemed to be a class above Wisconsin, at least, and not that the Badgers looked disjointed of their own volition at times, playing just their second game without starting point guard Josh Gasser, out for the year with an ACL injury.
I think this was the best game Florida's going to put together before the SEC schedule, one that the NCAA Tournament selection committee will remember come March and one that Donovan can point to as an example of what happens when his Gators play together and unselfishly. But it's folly to think the shots are always going to fall like they did, or that Murphy will be the second coming of Christian Laettner for a full season.
This was a very good, very impressive win by a team that has many of the factors necessary for greatness in college basketball. With it, Florida improved to 2-0 on the season.

Welcome to The Giving Athlete. The goal of this site is to promote the "good" in athletes. What you will find here are stories of athletes who devote their time, energy, money, resources, etc. in order to give back to the community. In a society nowadays where negative news appears to always be the news, a majority of the hard work of some of these athletes [many who do not perform these acts of kindness just for the display of public image] goes unnoticed. As a result, this overshadows the good work athletes are doing in the community.
1.) Promote the positive things athletes and athletic organizations are doing within the community.
2.) Create a central meeting place on the worldwide web where fans and sponsors can see what their favorite athletes are doing within the community and how they too can get involved.
3.) Athletes can see what other athletes are doing within the community, thus they can network and assist other athletes with their causes and encourage other athletes to pursue their own causes.
4.) Ultimate goal of The Giving Athlete is to keep you informed of all the positive works athletes are involved in.

The Moonbeam crack is short and powerful. From the start, do a hard lockoff to a good, rounded hold. Then power through a few lie-back moves, eventually high-stepping to that good, rounded hold. Set up for a big move and go for the hold out left (a sloping ledge/slot). This is the crux. Finish up the widening crack to a one bolt anchor. If you're shorter (5'10" or under) this is harder than Desert Shield. A fun, stout, and powerful route.
This is the thin seem that is just right of Dimp for a Chimp on the left side of the Peyote Wall East Face (aka the Bachar Toprope Wall).
This route is usually TR, but can be lead. Small cams (metolius #1 & #2 before the crux), offset nuts (small - medium) and for the end a #5 - #6 metolius.

Denholme weightlifter Rebekah Tiler targets senior success after European youth silver
10:30am Thursday 8th May 2014 in Sport By Bill Marshall
Rebekah Tiler barely has time to draw breath these days.
Just a week after winning a silver medal in the European Youth Championships in Poland, the 15-year-old weightlifter from Denholme (pictured) is one of the leading lights at the British Senior Championships this weekend in Coventry.
Emma Tiler said of her daughter's performance in Ciechanow: "There was no under-15 event, so Rebekah had to go into the under-17 69kg category against girls who were up to almost two years older.
"Rebekah won the snatch with 93kg but was a little disappointed with her 115kg clean and jerk, which got her a silver, and she also won silver overall.
"She was only 1kg behind Romanian Florina-Sorina Hulpan (209kg against 208kg), who was 22 months older."
Hulpan had a 91kg snatch and a 118kg clean and jerk, and Emma added: "Rebekah felt dizzy after getting her first clean and jerk of 113kg to neck level, then thought she had made the second lift at the same weight, but the judges thought otherwise.
"That meant she had to make the third lift, which she did at 115kg, but overall she was a bit disappointed."
The Bingley Grammar School pupil, who was the youngest by a month in her category in Poland, is among a record entry of 117 for this weekend's national championships at the Ricoh Arena.
She will be competing in the 69kg category in Sunday's second session (11.40am-3.20pm).
The event is the final chance for athletes to gain Commonwealth Games qualifying lifts, but Tiler has already achieved that milestone.
Among the other star names competing in Coventry are 2010 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Zoe Smith and Leeds-based Jack Oliver and Ali Jawad, the latter competing in the para-powerlifting championship.

Hello EclipseLink + BeansBinding on the NetBeans Platform
Above, Beans Binding is used in two different ways. Firstly, it is used to synchronize the JTable with the JPA query. Secondly, Beans Binding is used to synchronize the two JTextFields with the JTable. Thanks to the support in NetBeans IDE for JPA and Beans Binding, we will create the above application without typing a single line of code. In other words, everything will be generated via the various generators provided by NetBeans IDE. More than likely, especially since all these generators entail usage of the dreaded NetBeans blue blocks (which are a pain to work with), you probably don't want to take this approach in production code. However, despite that, the generators are useful in the prototyping phase of your applications, firstly because they show that the above effect can be created at all, and without much trouble (because potentially you've been wondering whether something like this is possible at all), and secondly because you can copy the generated code and use it in your own real life application, i.e., by copying the generated code and then reusing it, you'll not be working with the blue blocks anymore, while still benefiting from the fact that the generated code is correct.
Hence, the blue blocks are not a serious constraint in the approach that will be described here. There is, however, a truly serious objection that should be noted before continuing: the approach taken here does not leverage the true brilliance of the NetBeans Platform. Why? Because we're using a JTable to display the JPA query. It would be far more useful to use one of the NetBeans-specific Swing components instead of a JTable, i.e., one of the NetBeans Platform "explorer views". The NetBeans explorer views are alternative Swing components to the JTable and, as will be shown, are many times more effective than anything the JTable can do for you. However, this aspect will be focused on in a separate part of this sequence of topics. For now, we will assume that the JTable is an effective Swing component and that using it is the correct approach to take.
So, let's get started.
- Follow the Steps from the Earlier Article. Start by doing everything outlined in EclipseLink on the NetBeans Platform. You should end up with a NetBeans Platform application consisting of 4 modules: the UI integration module, the JPA entity integration module, the EclipseLink integration module, and the database server integration module.
- Remove the Code in the TopComponent Constructor. The UI integration module consists of a TopComponent with a JTextArea that displays the data from the database. The code that makes this possible is found in the TopComponent constructor. Delete that code completely. Also delete the JTextArea itself. In the next steps, instead of the JTextArea, we will drag-and-drop a JTable from the Palette and, in the very next step, we will, instead of the code in the constructor, drag-and-drop some Persistence components from the Palette. Therefore, instead of typing code manually, everything will be generated from the Palette, as pointed out in the introductory paragraphs above.
- Drag and Drop the Persistence Components from the Palette. When you look in the Palette (Ctrl-Shift-8), you should find an interesting grouping of Persistence components, highlighted below:
I only discovered these a day or so ago. All three of the components above are needed in the scenario described in this article. Drag and drop each of them onto the TopComponent. Once you have done this, you will not see anything in the TopComponent. However, open the Inspector (first open the TopComponent in the Design view, then open the Inspector from Window | Navigating | Inspector) and you should see this:
Good. Now you have the Persistence components available.
Tip: It is extremely important that the three components are added in the order shown above. In other words, the Entity Manager component needs to be first, the Query component needs to be second, and the Query Result component needs to be third. You can simply drag and drop the three components in the Inspector (i.e., in the screenshot above, just drag the three components into the correct order). Why? Because the order shown above is the order in which the components are initialized, which is extremely important. For example, if the Entity Manager is initialized after the Query, then the Query (which uses the Entity Manager) will return null from the Entity Manager.
- Set the Properties of the Persistence Components. Next, in the Inspector shown above, right-click each of the three Persistence components, one by one, and set their properties, as follows:
- Entity Manager. Set the "persistenceUnit" property to "EntityLibPU". Remember that that is the name of the persistence.xml in the entity classes module.
- Query. Set the "query" property to "SELECT c FROM Customer C". Set the "entityManager" property to the name of the entity manager, which in this case is "entityManager".
- Query Result. Set the "query" property to the name of the query, which in this case is "query". In the "Type Parameters" property (in the Code tab of the Properties sheet), set <Customer>.
To summarize the above instructions graphically, look at the screenshots below:
Great. You're done. You have now set up the Persistence components via the UI in NetBeans IDE. Also, you have enabled the NetBeans Beans Binding support to recognize these components so that they can be bound (in the upcoming steps in this article) to columns in the JTable that you will create in the next step.
- Drag and Drop the JTable and JTextFields from the Palette. Now drag and drop a JTable from the Palette, as well as two Strings and two JTextFields. In the next steps, we will hook these up to the Persistence components. For example, we will bind the "elements" of the JTable to the rows returned by the Query Result that we created in the previous step:
We will also bind the "text" property of the JTextFields to Beans Binding expressions obtained from the JTable. But, that will all come in the following steps. For now, simply lay out your UI on the TopComponent, as shown above: a JTable, two Strings, and two JTextFields. For now, also don't worry about the column names that you see above. These will be set automatically when we bind the JTable to the Query Result.
- Bind the JTable to the Query Result. In the Design mode of the TopComponent, right-click the JTable and then choose Bind | elements. In "Binding Source", choose "list", which is the Query Result you defined earlier:
Next, right-click the JTable again and choose Table Contents. Now, in the Columns tab, you should be able to map columns in the JTable to columns from the Query Result:
- Bind the JTextFields to the JTable. In Design mode, right-click each of the JTextFields in turn and choose Bind | text. Then you can map the JTextField to the JTable and, more specifically, to a particular column in the JTable, using the UI provided by NetBeans IDE:
- Deploy the Application. Start the database server and deploy the application. You should now see the following:
Select a new row in the JTable and then notice that the JTextFields are automatically updated.
You now have a NetBeans Platform application that accesses a database and displays its results in a JTable. The JTable, in turn, is a Master Table, with details being shown in the JTextFields below, which are bound to columns in the JTable. This is a nice further development of our EclipseLink integration with the NetBeans Platform, though now (as pointed out at the start), we should begin leveraging the Swing explorer views, instead of the JTable. The reason why, and the procedure how, will be discussed in the next part. In addition, we will also be adding some important features, such as Save functionality, following NetBeans Platform idioms, which are definitely preferable in this context.

Will you be supplying the code/project at some stage? I could be wrong.. at the very least these articles should mention the EDT at some point.
Is this an inherent problem with making anything too high level or user friendly is that the developer becomes too abstracted from the basic responsibilities of the underlying code produced.
Geertjan Wielenga replied on Tue, 2009/01/20 - 8:40am
Also, from the next step in this series onwards, I will not be using Beans Binding at all anymore (its future seems fragile, so I'd rather not rely so heavily on it in this series that will hopefully be useful to someone in real life), so questions relating to Beans Binding should not be relevant anymore.
On the JPA side, which will of course continue to be a fundamental part of this application, I will be monitoring the situation, and evaluating the application as it develops, so that any EDT issues, threading issues, and the like, will be identified and openly discussed in this series. For the moment, I won't be discussing these aspects, but will do so one or two topics from now.
Finally, yes, all the code will be made available, from about two topics onwards. Hope that is sufficient response for the moment.
Wade Chandler replied on Tue, 2009/01/20 - 8:32pm in response to: Geertjan Wielenga
OK, lots of little details here.
Just because Beans Binding doesn't itself offer tie in to the EDT doesn't mean that beans can't be designed to be used that way, fire events on the EDT, or that calling logic must be called from some other thread to set a property. Often in Swing development we have to fire property changes from the EDT to enable valid tie in to the UI.
It isn't a weakness of Beans Binding necessarily as much as a flexibiity in most to many cases. It could have some utilty to allow specific bindings to always do that for us automatically however and that would make it more useful. The Swing bindings to modeled components is a different story. For the modeled components it just needs to be better.
As for NB and binding these things. NB is great for most bindings at the moment. For instance, this binding where you bind the selected element name to the text field. Perfectly OK and will be run on the EDT by the fact the property change occurs on the EDT.
Now, binding non-swing beans presents different challenges, but no more than expected per the way Swing is threaded. One needs to call the property on the EDT to make things correct. However, binding properties outside the EDT is a perfectly valid use case as well to keep different things insync automatically.
The other stuff here could be designed better. Binding in NB of persistent units and those bean wrappers have multiple issues at the moment.
One, the query takes place on the EDT. Something in almost all cases a no no, especially here. To much for the UI. It is all put into initComponents. I don't know who thought that up.
Next, partly the fault of the Beans Binding Swing Bindings, the Swing components already have a good model to be hooked to. The Beans Bindings for Swing models is what is needed. Instead, forcing List, as is done now, is pretty darn silly, but only in that folks don't really know how to work around complex lazy loadings, and especially when presented short cuts such as the ObservableCollections class. That is a limitation of the binding framework that should be addressed.
Setting a model is good for the EDT, grabbing individual values, etc as well. Updating the model and loading its data behind the scenes off the EDT and then later call table model changed events on the EDT is best for the model; same for some well designed implementations of ObservableList. Real simple things which are not supported really well by bindings at the moment, but the same could be said that there are no good lazy loaded implmenetations of TableModel either, but once one understands how to build them it really is pretty simple.
Those Swing bindings for modeled components expect limited data sets if using the defaults from ObservableCollections, that or use more RAM, and to get some kind of a proxy ObservableList implementation that performs lazy loading is apparently foreign to folks, at least more foreign than a lazy loading a TableModel though I must say it seems many Swing developers, and even old school COM or Borland VCL developers, don't understand this either, so it can be hard for someone to understand how to make Beans Binding work well with Lists and large datasets off and on the EDT as needed.
Maybe I'll get around to writing some good code I can share along with a tutorial which folks can use to update the form module or I can depending on the future of the Beans Binding framework. That or I'll update form myself. The updates would include lazy loading of data and fetching portions of the data sets by users as needed an on the fly. It really takes some good example code for folks to deeply understand all the little issues involved here.The tutorial I'm talking about possibly writing would work well for developers to use to make IDEs better, but would work equally well for folks working on a project without using the IDE fluff in that case.

I have tried entering the following in the Query Dialog window...
SELECT w FROM WorkOrderDetailsList w WHERE w.workOrderId = :workOrderId Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Query argument workOrderId not found in the list of parameters provided during query execution.
The error seems clear, but I have tried many ways to include my parameter to make this work and searched the lists for an answer, but keep getting errors.
Thanks for any help. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do?

Hi Geertjan
Thanks for the great job evangelizing Netbeans and Netbeans Platform!
I've tried to follow this tutorial and everything goes well until I'm trying to bind JTable elements with List of results.
I can open the Bind elements wizard but i don't see "Import data to form" button, so Ican't bind the resultset List to the JTable.
It looks like the IDE is not recognizing that this a JTable or some libraries are missing.
I'm working with NetBeans 7.2 over Ubuntu 12.04.
Any help/clue will be really appreciated.

The Thai Airways Airbus A330-300 skidded off the runway at Bangkok's main airport, and company officials kicked into high gear to shelter the brand:

The number of minor injuries was revised down to thirteen, and surprisingly none of them were due to paint fume inhalation.

to preface, this draft is without any Free Agency moves, and assuming we keep all of our players whose contracts are expiring this year.
That means that Percy Harvin, Toby Gerhart, Joe Webb, Everson Griffen, and Jared Allen are all staying in Minnesota. here are the picks I have the vikings making: (warning, trades involved)
#23 overall pick traded, along with both seventh round picks and #23 in 5th round for 34th overall, and 65th overall
#34 overall pick (2:2)used to select DeAndre Hopkins, Wide Receiver, Clemson University
#54 overall pick (2:22) used to select Kewann Short, Defensive Tackle, Purdue university
#65 overall pick (3:1) used to select Jelani Jenkins, Linebacker, University of Florida
#85 overall pick (3:21)used to select J.C. Tretter, Offensive Guard, Cornell University
#119 overall pick (4:23) used to select Sanders Commings, Cornerback, University of Georgia
#133 overall pick (5:5) traded for #176 overall and 2014 5th round pick
#176 overall pick (6:16) used to select Rodney Smith, Wide Receiver, Florida State University
I think this mock follows the needs of the team, while sticking to Rick Spielman's philosophy of trading around to take advantage of the most amount of talent, while supplying himself with picks next year. sorry if the formatting is weird. also, for a key (round:pick)

Chia seeds, nature's little powerhouse, are an amazing superfood providing calcium, alkalinizing, absorbable protein, and anti-aging antioxidants. (Yes, this is where the famous chia pet came from!) They are also high in omega-3 fatty acids much needed for optimal energy levels, heart health, brain health, and burning fat. Their high fibre content helps to stabilize blood sugar and suppress hunger.
The following recipe can be a healthy, nutrient dense breakfast, snack, or dessert that will provide you with sustainable energy. It's an excellent source of protein and essential fatty acids too.
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond, or cashew milk
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
1/4 ground cinnamon
1/4 ground nutmeg
1/4 ground ginger
**topping: fresh fruit, and/or fresh coconut, and/or fresh mint.
**variation: instead of adding cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, add 1 tsp of raw, organic cocoa powder or carob powder for a chocolate chia pudding.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and set aside for 15 minutes so the chia seeds can do their chia magic. Abra-ca-dabra…they will soak up the moisture and turn into a pudding consistency. Chill (if you can wait!) then serve.
Top with fresh berries of choice, and/or fresh mint leaves, and/or sprinkle fresh grated coconut on top. I like to serve it in a martini glass!

ShoutOut is Bristol's LGBT radio show, airing on community station BCFM (93.2 FM in Bristol, streaming around the globe on www.bcfm.org.uk).
Originally the brainchild of Terry Starr, the show was developed by experienced sound recordist Mary Milton and, soon after, Andy Thomas who has experience in radio having started one of the first ever internet radio stations as well as having a knowledge of websites. Now Shoutout boasts a range of talent from across the gay community in and around the city of Bristol.
With Shoutout on the air, Bristol has joined towns and cities across the UK, including London, Brighton, and Manchester, where LGBT community programmes are aired.
"Gay radio is evolving fast, and we are proud to be a part of it – out and proud!" – Terry Starr.

Discussion in 'NASL' started by ceezmad, Oct 18, 2012.
People selling stuff
John, you assume that The Don actually has enough power to demand anything of the MLS owners. I suspect that he asks for a lot and gets only a fraction of what he wants.
Closer coordination between MLS and NASL and USLPro can only be a good thing. Even if the loaned out players only get to play in front of "crowds" of 2K to 3K, that's still way better than playing just a handful of reserve games in front of 50 to 300 people.
Is there a chance that this might help with attendance? Might a lower division team get more media coverage when announcing a loan player? Ah, that's wishful thinking on my part. Money and advertising dollars will drive better attendance (and rabid supporters groups recruiting new people).
So if all lower division teams are losing money, how and why do they stay in business? Someone with cash loves the game? They think they'll be able to sell the team for a profit?
I'm still hopeful that NASL and USLPro both thrive.
- Mark
They don't all, obviously. The failure rate from 1996-2010 was 79%.
No team currently in the NASL has been playing continuously longer than six years (and that one is owned by an outfit with a bit of money). (Atlanta has been "in business" since 1999 in what is basically its current iteration, but they took two years off.)
In USL Pro, Charleston, Richmond and Charlotte have all been in business for 20 years. They're very likely not bleeding money. Rochester has been in business since 1996, but their current ownership has found the going less successful than the original ownership (probably because of some of the things the original ownership did).
Some are losing what their ownership terms "acceptable losses."
But, yeah, for the most part, teams are losing money. And the ones that stay in business long-term are the exception rather than the rule. For a lot of reasons we don't have time to go into right now.
Thanks, and yeah, we don't have time to get into all of this just this minute, nor is this the appropriate thread for this.
However, is it possible that a new cooperation agreement of some sort between MLS and NASL and MLS and USLPro could funnel some money to the lower division teams? I'm thinking in sort of minor league baseball terms, which might not be appropriate, but wouldn't the MLS clubs be on the hook for some or all of the loaned player's salary? Thus, a lower division team might enjoy a reduced payroll, which would help with the bottom line. Under the right circumstances (Houston or Dallas loaning players to San Antonio) there might be some traveling fans? Increased media attention?
We don't have enough details on this proposed "deal" yet to know if any of this might be the case. I'm just in a hopeful mood. (And I could wish that there was a minor league team closer to me, but hey, I've got MLS in my metro area, so no complaints.)
- Mark
You really don't read threads all the way through, do you?
A player that's so not-MLS-ready as to be loaned to the lower divisions is unlikely to generate a lot of increased media attention and even less likely to be able to get traveling fans to go a longer distance to see him play than they normally would.
A player that is not MLS ready? Where does a player get ready for the MLS? Please explain.
College, perhaps.
Do you know anything about American soccer?
Some players are ready to play in MLS right now. Others get to the level where they can contribute to an MLS team after being in an MLS environment, training and being (basically) an apprentice. Others aren't deemed worthy of an MLS job or take a secure job with a lower-level team, and display talent and/or growth to the point where they are then deemed worthy of being signed to an MLS contract. Some players fall through the cracks, get jobs either in other countries or with lower-level teams and have people working on their behalf to get them seen by MLS coaches.
But someone who cannot crack an MLS team's starting 11 or regular rotation could be seen as "not MLS ready," yet displaying potential that could be brought out if they played regularly in a professional environment. If the MLS team in question can't give the player those minutes, they may loan him to a lower-level team (usually one with whom the coaches have some connection or relationship) and then they see where he is in his development after playing a certain period of time with a lower-level team.
If you believe that a 3 month college season is a adequate avenue to produce players for the United States to win a world cup, well good luck with that route.
Apprentice? Are you speaking from experience? If yes, please tell me where you did a soccer apprenticeship. If not, educate yourself a little.
It start's at 16 years old or in some cases even younger. Boot cleaning, shower cleaning, bath cleaning, training gear cleaning, stadium cleaning and quite a few other chores. Oh, apprentices also clean the toilet bowls.Apprentice work starts at 6am and continues until the evening hours on a daily basis for a minimum of 2 years. The pay off for the player is that he truly understands all of the details of the inter workings of a professional soccer club. Obviously ken, he has to be a very good soccer player. The work that a apprentice puts in, also shows the players character and commitment to the game. If the player is not willing to do all the medial work that is required, he is simply released. That is what a soccer apprenticeship is all about Ken. It has worked for many countries.
The Vancouver WhiteCaps are doing a good job with young professionals, from what I can see. I live in California and frequently go and watch the "academy" teams of the two local MLS clubs.
The first thing that these young players need to learn, is that the players at 14, 15, and 16 years old
need to know that the shoes that they play soccer with, need to be shined on a daily basis. American soccer players not Canadian as the Vancouver club, need to implement true apprenticeship programs.
So when you write upon apprenticeships, in soccer, know what your writing about.
Oh boy, this could get really good. Can't wait for the next post!!
Cdskou or whatever, that is the funniest post I've ever read on here. Good job brah.
Well, when one writes on apprenticeships in soccer in America, at least know what Beckham and Keane went through to get to the top of the craft. If one can not understand this in soccer, oh well.... If you feel that American Professional soccer doesn't need proper youth professional apprentice programs well, good luck with the college game.
I am glad you enjoyed that.
That's funny. I don't recall you asking about preparing players for the United States to win a World Cup. I remember you asking about how players would get "MLS-ready." You do know what MLS is, right? It's a league. And, oddly enough, players come into - and play and contribute to - MLS having only American college experience.
The word "apprentice" has meanings outside the Euro meaning of the scut work "character and commitment building" you describe above. Hint: Donald Trump does not have a TV show that creates soccer players.
Whatever you say, chief. Shoeshines, we'll get right on that. Shoeshines are why England wins the World Cup every four years. Got it.
Someone who lives in California should know about American exceptionalism when it comes to soccer. But, please, go on for another several hundred words about how backward-ass we are while you enjoy living here instead of there.
Kinda helped that Beckham and Keane had a bit of talent, too, no? And that they weren't going to go into other, more lucrative sports instead of football.
Ah, what's the use. ********ing Euros think they know everything.
Klinsmann begs to differ.
You are the person who suggested apprenticeships in the MLS . Your answer, Donald Trump. Failing grade Ken. "F".
A soccer player not shining his shoes? You answered with, England not winning the World Cup every four years. Failing grade "F".
I was born in New York and raised in California, a third generation "Euro- American" .
Are you questioning my patriotism to the United States? " American exceptionalism when it comes to soccer" Failing grade "F".
Ken, you can do much better.
This is really bad news. Keep up the European insults.
I like how you through in "football".
None of this has anything to do with "NASL News 2012." So perhaps cdskou should just stop since he derailed the thread.
"What are you talking about?" --- Everyone who has ever read anything you've ever said.
Maybe WSW is the type of poster you must read when you are high for you to understand the genious of his post.
Because Klinsmann is right the youth set-up is a detriment to development in U.S.
24 posts that have some meaning, not sure where its going, but you continue this in a separate thread here. Please try to use reason.
That made me giggle. Thanks
i want to thank nasl and the usl for providing free on demand match replays worldwide via
nasl.com and usllive.com mls could really learn a lot about making their league available to a greater viewing public for example us citizens living or working overseas. well done
nasl and usl.

PHOENIX (AP) - A Phoenix woman accused in the abuse of foster children has been sentenced to 10 years of supervised probation.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 56-year-old Alma Holland was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to two counts of child abuse.
Holland and her 53-year-old husband were arrested in October 2012.
Phoenix police say the Hollands were foster parents to approximately 15 children ranging in age from 4 to 17 between 2005 and 2011.
Authorities say Steven Holland allegedly sexually abused seven of the children over a six-year span and his wife did nothing to stop it.
He's accused of sexual conduct with a minor, furnishing obscene material to a minor, child molestation, sexual abuse and unlawful videotaping.
Child Protective Services removed the children from the home and revoked the Hollands' foster-care license.
