I'm Daniel Bean, the Senior Product Manager of BBC iPlayer Radio.
Just over two weeks ago we launched a new version of the BBC iPlayer Radio homepage which I talked about here. The new homepage looks like this:The new BBC iPlayer Radio homepage
From today users who listen to radio via BBC iPlayer using a desktop browser will be redirected to the new BBC iPlayer Radio homepage.
I thought I'd take this opportunity to look at some of the differences you might notice if you used to find radio programmes via BBC iPlayer using a browser and are using this page for the first time. I'll also look at some of the feedback about the recent changes from those of you who were already using this page for your radio needs.
One of the advantages of enhancing this webpage is that we can now have just one homepage that gives a taste of all radio across the BBC. We hope this will make it less confusing for users who previously had a different experience on the radio page in BBC iPlayer.
We've designed the new BBC iPlayer Radio homepage based on the experiences that are most important to you. Categories and Most Popular are now more prominent, as we know this is your favourite way of finding radio programmes, including actual examples of the most popular programmes and top categories so that you can easily get straight to the programmes you like. Alongside that, you can now get to the national and nations radio station homepages with one single click. You can also visit this page across a range of mobile and tablet devices, as well as on desktop computers.
If you added radio programmes to your favourites in BBC iPlayer you won't be able to access that list in BBC iPlayer Radio. We looked really carefully at whether there was a way of transferring those favourites across, but it turned out to be either extremely difficult or in some cases impossible. Additionally, some users have different favourites on different devices as they are stored separately on each device, meaning we wouldn't know which set of favourites to transfer across – the ones from your phone, tablet or PC.
You can still add favourites in BBC iPlayer Radio as long as you're signed in to the BBC, via BBC iD, where they will be saved from now on. Importantly this also means you can now access your favourites via BBC iPlayer Radio across any device on a browser when you sign in, making it easier for you to keep track of your favourite programmes. We'll also be adding favourites into the BBC iPlayer Radio mobile application very shortly, something many of you have been asking for.
Another difference you may notice is that when you're catching up on programmes that you've missed the new radio homepage leads you to pages that look like this:
These look different from the ones you may have previously used in BBC iPlayer but their main purpose remains to let you listen again. Over the coming months we'll be investigating how we can make these pages more streamlined and simple to use, and in fact already have some improvements being released soon.
We've had a lot of positive feedback since we launched the new version from those of you that were already using the new BBC iPlayer Radio homepage. This is encouraging so many thanks for letting us know! We'll continue to listen to what you have to say and take it into account as we continue to enhance BBC iPlayer Radio for you in the future.
So far, two common themes in your feedback were that the pause button next to the 'Stations' tab was confusing and that you missed the 'What's On' tab on the old radio homepage. The purpose of the pause button is to stop the automatic cycling of programme images and information that you see if you're viewing the page on a tablet or desktop computer. We're aiming to improve that as part of our next update to the page, making it as clear as possible.
You can still see what's on-air across the stations if you click on 'Stations' on the new homepage, though as you've pointed out it doesn't tell you what's on next. We're looking at what the best way of addressing this and will aim to have this updated as soon as we can.
As before, please keep the comments coming via the feedback page, or leave a comment below. I hope you enjoy using the new page!

All very nice, but when is the BBC going to release their own version of the much missed "Radio Downloader" ? My listening has dropped off since the BBC blocked the program last year - 7 day catch-up is too short a time for many people.
The site as it was was easy to navigate, and understand, gave a good visual guide as to the kinds of programmes sought and was entirely pleasing.
As usual though we have "dumbing down", an inept and entirely inefficient change to a tried and tested system, and attempt to make what "works" into something less efficient but suitable for the intellectually challenged.
Are there any plans to bring back the ability to customise the stations that appear on the radio homepage and on the top banner? At the moment it is rather biased towards the nations' stations rather than English local radio, and so includes what to most people must be rather obscure stations such as Radio Foyle and Radio nan Gaidheal. I miss being able to replace them with local radio stations from my area that are more relevant to me.
Agree with RayB above. I would love to have some version of Radio Downloader. I used it all the time and yes, sometimes 7 day catch up is not enough time.
Really dislike new iplayer radio much harder to navigate, schedule page really bad, still no way to listen to a whole series you may have missed. I want to be able to quickly replay or see what I've missed it now takes 6 clicks to find and play where as it used to be 3! I don't want to just listen to featured programs. I love listening to the radio but I feel that I am going to miss more radio and feel put off listening all together.
I don't see any way that this is an improvement. The schedules are clumsy, painful to look at and needlessly spread out.
So I now have to add all my favourites again, since some are not currently on air I am forced to wade through countless pages of dross to find them.
Further the old player allowed discovery of perhaps a dozen similar programmes, the new version offers two.
And why must we be subjected to white pages (or a full screen picture) under the new regime when the black background was far more suitable for radio.
So if it works keep changing it until it doesn't.
My initial reaction is very negative. Why change something that works and to which we have become used? Antony's comment regarding the number of clicks required sums it all up.
I was afraid it wouldn't be long before the nag box disappeared and we were all forced to use the new interface. The new interface gets in the way, I can't find anything and all the great functionality of the iplayer has gone. I'm really upset by this as radio is such a large part of my day.
The tone of the above piece is one-sided and patronising. There was no need to do this, but we have been overridden and a wonderful, useful web site has been taken away. I'm already missing programmes. I would pay to get the real interface back.
Really poor that favorites can only be saved now by signing in. Didn't have to sign in previously and now it's not an option. I don't care about the across devices nonsense as I only listen on my pc. I really don't want to have to "sign in" everywhere. Is this the Big Brother Corp? To confuse matters further, TV favorites are saved in the old way on the iPlayer, i.e. not having to sign in, although if you are signed in then you have to save things again and have a different list. I mean, is this a joke?
I'm guessing the separation of radio from the main iPlayer website is due to the separate 'Radio & Music' and 'TV & iPlayer' products. I suspect in the not too distant future there will be an update to /iplayer to bring it more in-line with the other TV sites.
Some improvements?
It takes more clicks to access choices.
If you leave a programme and return to it later, it no longer starts where you left off but back at the beginning.
You can view fewer of your favourites on screen, so a quick scan to choose something takes much longer.
You can't immediately see how many episodes are available in a series.
A massive list of episodes related to one you are listening to may be found, all of which are currently unavailable. Joy.
My favourites list is now in random order. Obviously makes searching more fun. Doesn't It?
There is no warning list for soon to expire episodes.
It took over 30 minutes to access this comments page.
I could go on. I probably have.
As usual change for change's sake. If you want people to use this and like it then FIX THE B****Y FAVOURITES! I do NOT want to spend all my time searching for the next episode in a series becuase favourites can't do it for me. That was the point of favourites wasn't it? Plus all my old favourites, some of which aren't currently on air, have gone because 'it's too difficult' to import them. You are not endearing yourself to your users with this.
I loathe the new page, cluttered and unfriendly. Totally agree with Antony above.I won't be listening as easily and therefore, not as often. I want to have favourites and know what I was listening to last. I don't want the BBC to decide what I want to listen to, and then show me what they think I want, and I'm not interested in stations I never use. (If I wanted them I could find them). It's a horrid experience. nasty cheap looking and - can I come off the fence? - a vile experience. You've not taken the user into account. Shame. I just want to listen to the radio.
(And you've still got the same old mug shots of people like David Mitchell - what's new in that?
I've used the new browser iplayer radio for a whole 110 minutes now, and the first thing that strikes me is that I'm really going to miss the "new favourite episodes available"-message on the front page. Now it seems I have to go into "favourites", then "episodes", and then scroll through them all. Doesn't even appear to be a way to sort them after how recently they've been updated.
It shouldn't take as long to find out whether one of your favourite programs has a new episode out as a program you haven't favourited. Maybe I'm missing a function somewhere, but it seems a great omission to me.
How this can be seen as an improvement in user experience I have no idea. Having stations and the last 3 days available on a single page, was easy and quick, now you get redirected 3 times, have to and eventually you get there. Even the comments are ridiculous, with so many 'updates on the way' why was it even released?
I don;t believe that there have been that many good comments compared to the number of negative ones. Hut this is the BBC, and we will just get ignored
The "iPlayer Radio" lacks many of the basic features of the previous iplayer and adds clutter.
Where the iplayer remembered what I last listened to and where I stopped listening, "iPlayer Radio" has none of these basic, essential features, I am required to login to keep track of listening, a wholly unjustified imposition. Why are television iplayer users free to watch programmes and track their own viewing, while the radio users are forced to centrally log their activity with the BBC?
The Favourites section assumes that one has an interest in all instances of a given program, one cannot simply start listening to one and the return later, there is no option to see that previous entry, one is forced to see a listed of unwanted entries. There's no record of which one has listened to, which one has opened most recently, just blanket programme information with no thought or reference to the listener.
Restarting a previously listened to programme provides an even shoddier service, iplayer allowed one to pick up from where one left of instantaneously, a seamless service, "iPlayer Radio" seems to require one to keep a log of where one is in a programme and search for a time before restarting, managing listening by post-it notes?
Navigating from channel to channel on the iplayer was simplicity itself, one mouse click to go from Radio 3 on Friday to Radio 4, "iPlayer Radio" requires numerous navigations, change channel, then change to schedule, then change to day. Increasing faff with no benefit to the user.
"iPlayer Radio" is only a retrograde step, providing an infinitely poorer service than the iplayer, a sad day for the BBC.
As with other comments, the new presentation stinks and the failure to transfer favourites is insulting. Why has the previous option to choose been removed without warning? There is too much noise and the suggestion that you know my favourite way of finding radio programmes is risible.
I agree with most of the other comments - the new site is clunky and completely counter-intuitive. Apparently not being able to edit the stations that are displayed, the absence of the last three days' programmes on the front page, the increased number of clicks required to do anything, not being able to access/view "favourites" within the same page whilst listening to a programme and not being taken back to the same place in a part-listened to programme. Even the A-Z list now has an superfluous picture for each programme rather than just the text, making the list unnecessarily long. It's a mess. I really can't see what was wrong with having the radio function as part of the normal iPlayer for recent programmes, and all the extra content on the individual station sites as before.
This is absolutely awful! Far too many clicks and running around to find content, favourites all over the place, full restart for previously paused programs, etc. etc.
The old iplayer was so easy and satisfying to use, this is a massive backward step, it looks and acts like an inferior mobile site.
I am very disappointed the BBC went for this option following such a negative response whilst testing, listeners' views are obviously not worth a jot any more.

The Apparition
2012 Directed by Todd Lincoln
Once You Believe You Die
Plagued by frightening occurrences in their home, Kelly and Ben learn that a university's parapsychology experiment produced an entity that is now haunting them. The malevolent spirit feeds on fear and torments the couple no matter where they run. Desperate, Kelly and Ben turn to a paranormal researcher, but even with his aid, it may already be too late to save themselves from the terrifying presence.

I wish I didn't have to continually lament the state of modern horror but it really is in a sorry state. Todd Lincoln's debut feature continues this worrying trend of limp terror and cheap jump scares as a young couple are terrorised by supernatural mould (the horror!).
Sebastian Stan and Ashley Greene move into their first home together only to discover death and decay has followed them after an earlier college experiment unleashed a malevolent entity into their lives. What follows is the familiar modern trend of loud bangs, dumb decisions and flat atmosphere.
It comes as little surprise that this tired and tension-free film only managed a DVD release here in the UK. Although arguably no worse than a…
"Your house killed my dog"
Stupefyingly bad and insulting on countless levels, The Apparition is a manifestation of everything wrong with not only the genre of horror, but movies in general. What a pathetic little marvel.
Letterboxd, you should have a zero star rating option. This is actually one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
The Good: Ashley Greene. Video game Blanka is cool. Costco: the land of never-ending supplies and samples.
The Bad: Ashley Greene. '94 movie Blanka is not cool. Costco: the land of never-ending lines. Molds. Fucking saguaros. Dullest. Horror flick. Ever.
The Bottom Line: This was supposed to be scary? No, forget that. This was supposed to be a movie?
A good looking, yet generic little horror movie which suffers from quite some flaws unfortunately. It did have some good ideas and some scary parts, but the movie as a whole leaves much to be desired because of its rushed start, bad acting, stupid script, unfitting soundtrack and lame ending (sponsored by Coleman tents apparently?!). I did like the science approach to the paranormal happenings and i thought Tom Felton (in contrary to the two main characters) did pretty wel in this flick. But that is unfortunately all there is to it. Watch at your own risk...
I seriously wish I could give this a zero. I knew I would hate this film, and sure enough I did. There is literally no effort put into this film in terms of everything it has, whether it be the scares, acting, and directing. To define the "scares" in this film, they're composed of things either moving an inch or opening on their own in a very slow manner, and occasional spouts of weird noises. However, there's about zero tension during the scenes and the characters have the most lifeless reactions to anything that's suppose to be scary. Essentially there is nothing redeeming in this effortless horror film that just takes every technique used in modern horror movies today, but…
Once you believe this film exists, you die.

tinha uma idéia ótima, mas que foi pessimamente executada. o filme é péssimo.
Funny thing about ghosts. Wish I hadn't seen this one.
Some creepy effects, especially the one where our heroine has nailed herself into the closet and a "thing" crawls out of the boxes, but the framing story is an undeveloped mess. Attractive leads though (Ashley Greene and Sebastian Stan) so one ends up watching them while waiting for the story to go somewhere... it doesn't.
I also liked the unusual setting, a new house in a California desert housing development, power line towers looming overhead. It fun to see a pristine new house turn all creepy and haunted.
I'm just grateful that Sebastian Stan is pretty to look at because this was the most boring horror movie I've ever watched.
Rating: F
A couple of students experiments with the other side, and are not prepared for what they unleash.
Well, the premise of the movie seems quite familiar. The acting was about as bad as you can expect from your average teen horror movie. Ashley Greene wasn't cast because of her excellent acting skills and Tom Felton did some kind of student version of Draco Malfoy. That being said, some scenes were actually quite chilling. However, the ending was, to put it mildly, a huge disappointment and effectively killed every bit of suspense that the rest of the movie had built.
Kinda late on your Pulse ripoff there
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Okay I expected it to suck, but not this much.
Ashley Greene is absolutely beautiful; that's her sole purpose for her involvement in the film. Whilst all the 'horrors' unfold in The Apparition, the filmmakers still want you thinking you'd like to bang her, and in that department it succeeds.
The poster provides a HUGE spoiler as well as fundamentally lying to the audience from the get-go (you'll know what I mean if you bother to waste your time and watch this one).
Plus Draco Malfoy is in it; couldn't he of just performed a Patronus or something to rid the house of spirits? Typical fucking Slytherin...

Whether you considered him a punk, a poet or a straight-up rock-and-roller, Lou Reed was one of the most influential and respected musicians of the past century. On Sunday, Velvet Underground fans were stunned to learn that the legendary frontman had passed away at the age of 71. Reed, who had a liver transplant in May, reportedly died of liver disease. He had recently cancelled several appearances, but kept quiet about the severity of his illness.
In the later years of his life, Reed was influential in the cultural scene of New York City, where he lived with his wife, performance artist Laurie Anderson. Of course, it's the earlier years we remember the best. Reed first gained notoriety as part of the experimental rock band The Velvet Underground, whose popularity has grown exponentially since they broke up in 1973. Reed left the band in 1970 and embarked on a solo career, releasing classic songs like "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Perfect Day." Throughout his career, Reed pushed the boundaries of rock music, experimenting with unconventional vocal styles, challenging lyrics, and the use of non-musical sounds like guitar feedback.
The singer-songwriter is widely considered a pioneer, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a musician, artist or rebel who wasn't influenced by his work. Here is what other rock stars and celebrities are tweeting in the wake of Reed's unexpected death.

It may not have marauding lion packs, but the Shamwari Game Reserve offers something its wilder rivals just can't guarantee: a Malaria-free encounter with the 'Big Five'
Friday 23 June 2000
Disease. Not the first thing that springs to mind when considering where to go big-game watching. More likely, you'll check out the likelihood of seeing the 'Big Five' (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhino) and ponder the level of luxury you can afford. Malaria prophylactics are way down the to-do list, along with cancelling the papers and buying super-strength sunscreen.
Disease. Not the first thing that springs to mind when considering where to go big-game watching. More likely, you'll check out the likelihood of seeing the 'Big Five' (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhino) and ponder the level of luxury you can afford. Malaria prophylactics are way down the to-do list, along with cancelling the papers and buying super-strength sunscreen.
It seems an immutable law of game watching in South Africa that the best game hangs out in the most remote and malaria-ridden regions. For many people (pregnant women, young children and those with certain medical conditions) these are no-go areas, not because they will definitely contract malaria, but because the consequences are so serious if they do. For others, the decision is not so clear cut.
Whether you are allergic to anti-malarial drugs, wary of their side-effects or unconvinced of their efficacy as the malaria parasite becomes increasingly drug-resistant, the end result is the same. If you want to stay in malarial areas, you must indulge in a tedious twilight ritual of anointing your body with insect repellent, donning trousers, long socks and a long-sleeved shirt. With the best will in the world, though, there's always a chance that a malarial mosquito will break through the defences.
Many people consider this a price worth paying to watch animals in some of the most stunning scenery on the continent. If you don't, there is an alternative.
Most of South Africa's good game viewing is in the north and north-east of the country, deep within the malarial belt. However, there is a malaria-free zone close to Johannesburg (which most British tourists tend to avoid because of its reputation for violent crime) that includes Pilanesburg National Park, Madikwe Game Reserve and a massive conservation project, the Shamwari Game Reserve.
Shamwari is the brainchild of Adrian Gardiner, a South African businessman who, in 1991, bought an 1820s British settler's farmhouse as a country retreat. His aim was to create a reserve there and return the land to what it was before the British settler cultivated it and shot all the game.
Some species had hung on in spite of the farmers - kudu, duiker, bush buck, baboons, bush pigs, and the ubiquitous vervet monkeys, nestling in swaying bushes. Leopards too, due to their shy nocturnal habits, still hunt here and the conservation unit at Shamwari has re-introduced several creatures, both great (elephant, hippo, zebra, giraffe, rhino, warthog and buffalo) and small (such as the flightless dung beetle).
They also have lions, but these are kept within an enclosure, built to reassure local farmers that the big predators could be safely contained. Visiting them is a little like touring Woburn or Longleat but some might consider the absence of marauding lions a blessing. Not these guys. The staff are eagerly anticipating the release of a pride into the reserve later this year, along with cheetahs.
What struck me as I arrived (after the initial shock of seeing a white rhino grazing, unconcernedly, just by the turning off the main road) was how pristine the animals looked. In this managed environment, it would be cruel to leave sick or wounded animals untreated, although vet Johann Joubert, cheerfully announced "the lions will soon do that job for me".
This could be seen as just a rich man's hobby (black rhino, for instance, cost around £20,000-25,000 each and the reserve has nine) but, far from seeing tourists as a necessary evil to finance the conservation work, the reserve is constantly improving the facilities to make your stay as relaxing and luxurious as possible.
The amiable manager, Joe Cloete, runs a tight ship, overseeing Shamwari Lodge (which, with its thatched roofs, is evocative of traditional bush camps) and the four other former farmhouses which now serve as accommodation: Long Lee Manor, Highfield and Bushman's River Lodge and Carn Ingly. Except for Carn Ingly, which has a rather cottagey feel, the farmhouses have all been restored in grand Out of Africa style, retaining the original features wherever possible.
The recommended activity is early morning and evening game drives, in the company of a young team of rangers committed to showing you the animals you hope to see. There's plenty of time left for unwinding by the pool or training your binoculars on the near-distance. If you are of a restless disposition, you can explore the multicultural village, which offers insights into the architecture and customs of the Xhosa, Ndebele and Zulus, or The Born Free Foundation, where lions and leopards, maltreated in captivity, have been resettled.
Even after a short spell in the bush, the success of the Shamwari team's conservation mission becomes apparent on the drive back to the nearby town of Port Elizabeth. The roadside dairy farms look forlorn and strangely denuded of vegetation and, suddenly, ecologist John O'Brien's dream of extending the reserve as far as Grahamstown, 68km away, seems incredibly attractive.
Diona Gregory travelled to South Africa with SARtravel (020-7637 3560, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com) which offers tailor-made southern Africa itineraries.
South African Airlines (0870 747 1111) flies daily from London Heathrow airport to Cape Town from £549 return or to Johannesburg from £462. Onward domestic flights are available from both these cities to Port Elizabeth airport, 50 minutes drive from Shamwari Game Reserve, or alternatively, you can travel from Cape Town by bus.
Accommodation starts at £168 per person, per night, including meals and game drives (tel: 00 27 42 231111, fax: 00 27 42 2351224, www.shamwari.com).

Taxation is based on truth, faith and fairness. When these principles are violated, the relationship between the taxers and the taxed is poisoned.
As a taxpayer in the South Sound, I recall the proposal by Sound Transit to extend the light rail as being tied directly to the request for extra taxation to pay for it. Now we are being told that we must suffer these continued taxes without seeing the benefits because the promise wasn't "explicit" in the proposal.
Implied or explicit, the purpose was well understood or there would have been no need for any addendum to the original proposal. We are not here to define "is"; a deal is a deal!
Sound Transit's board should remember that they don,t make decisions in a vacuum. If we are "thrown under the bus" in such a cavalier way, then, who might be next? The board really needs to understand that a show of faithlessness toward us exposes them as faithless to all.
Competent planning for the unforeseen, prior to submitting a proposal to the electorate, should have been done. As the saying goes, "A lack of planning on your part does not represent an emergency on my part." One thing the board can be sure of, the future will come and with it a need for funding – from us. Now there is something to consider!

Curtis also talked about facing his former team, Roddy White's comments about New Orleans, and whether Saints/Falcons even qualifies as a rivalry given that the Saints have won 11 of the last 13 matchups.

On Jan 7, 2014, Zacks Investment Research upgraded
Alliant Techsystems Inc.
) to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Why the Upgrade?
Alliant reported positive earnings surprises in each of the past
4 quarters with an average earnings beat of 13.4%. The company's
long-term expected earnings growth is pegged at 6.1%. The timely
completion of the Bushnell acquisition, synergies from recent
acquisitions and a stable inflow of contracts are expected to
drive the bottom line.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Alliant's top and bottom
line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, primarily on the back of
strong contribution from its Sporting segment and a decline in
interest expenses.
The company continues to strengthen its product offering under
the Sporting segment, as demand for sporting products is rising
significantly in the U.S. Year to date, the company has completed
two major acquisitions:
In Nov 2013, the company acquired Bushnell Group Holding Inc., a
provider of sports optics, outdoor accessories, performance
eyewear and affordable sports products for sports fans. Bushnell
has been merged with Alliant's Sporting segment.
In addition, Alliant took over Caliber Company in Jun 2013, with
a transaction value of $315 million. The acquired unit added $57
million to revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
An acquisition-driven strategy will enable the company to expand
its existing footprint besides providing both financial as well
as operational synergies.
Alliant also has a steady dividend payment record. During the
first six months ended Sep 29, 2013, the company paid common
stock dividends of $16.7 million. The practice of returning
wealth to shareholders will help keep investor interest in the
The present valuation also makes Alliant attractive. As of Jan 6,
2013, the company's forward P/E multiple was 12.9x, a discount of
5.8% to the peer group average of 13.7x. Return on equity of the
company was 19.1%, marginally higher than the peer group average.
Other Stocks to Consider
Some other stocks worth considering in the aerospace and defense
equipment industry include
Elbit Systems Ltd.
Astronics Corporation
) and
B/E Aerospace Inc.
). While Elbit Systems holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy),
Astronics and B/E Aerospace carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

USA 3, Guatemala 1: Player Reactions
This entry was posted in Featured, U.S. Men's National Team. Bookmark the permalink.
8 Responses to USA 3, Guatemala 1: Player Reactions
Agree with Deuce that it was a professional performance, except for that dive and resulting yellow. Must have learned it at White Hart Lane…
….from Bale.
Spoken like a true Arsenal fan. Jealous we are top of you in the table, huh?
You obviously never saw Klinsmann play for Spurs.
Watching the game again and saw that Bocanegra's goal off the corner was the result of the hustle and hard work from Herculez who bounced the ball off of the Guatemalan defender who was planning on letting the ball roll out for a free kick. I doubt Jozy would have done that. I like Altidore, and feel he should be a part of the USMNNT, but I would not pick him to start over Herc. At this point, I wouldn't pick him over EJ either. EJ worked extremely hard these past 2 games. Maybe Jozy just got a little too comfortable. Hopefully, this will serve as a wake-up call.
Am the only one who actually liked the late game substitution of Edu, where it brought of midfield 3 of Edu, Bradley, and Williams? Bradley almost seemed like he was the deepest of the 3, with Edu/Williams doing most of the running. Seems promising if we are up late in games that we can trot out a front 6 of Edu (subbed in for Zusi/EJ/whoever), Bradley, and Williams (without Williams on the wing) in midfield, with Donovan, Gomez (subbed in for Altidore late), and Dempsey up top.
For example:
Good to see Klinnsmann playing so many skilled playrs. It took a while but Klinnsmann eventually realized the following aren't starters: Edu, Ream, Beckerman, Shea, Altidore, Spector, Beasely and Klesjtan. Not saying these players are bad or don't have their strongpoints. However, playing a few of them at one time reduces our possession and puts more stress on our skilled players to perfom.
Some of those guys will be starters again at some point.

Get Your Daily Dose Of Cute With Bella, The Bullmastiff [VIDEO]
Don't hate! I know it's cheesy, but we just adore our Bullmastiff, Bella.
Don't hate! I know it's cheesy, but we just adore our Bullmastiff, Bella.
We love our pets. They're like our babies and part of our families. With that being said, most pet owners try to establish boundaries
February 20th is national 'Love Your Pet' day and in case I've missed something, that would be TODAY!!!
On the heels of this week's Westminster Dog Show, Robinson's Rescue in Shreveport, LA is hosting their annual fundraiser Best in Sheaux this Saturday at the Eldorado Casino and Resort!
We knew Mudstock attendees were party animals, but they took it one step further -- by actually bringing their pets to River Run ATV Park! We saw dogs cruising on ATVs, cats loafing near the front office, a lemur making new friends and even an uninvited raccoon with a taste for tortilla chips.
According to some residents, there's a rash of dog kidnapping happening in the Shreveport-Bossier area.
Kellar is definitely not your average dog. The three-year-old English springer was born blind, but that has not deterred him from playing fetch.
My baby, Tiger is not happy today.
When they found out their service dogs would not be allowed to dress up for their graduation ceremony, two students hit the woof, er, roof.
These days, it seems like dogs are getting more and more into the dressing like a human game. That or we're just getting more obsessed with clothing our canines in mini versions of stuff we wear. (The latter is true.) Either way, there are zero complaints on our end, because the results are just so stinkin' cute.
If you are a cat owner, you may have received the gift of a rodent or bird at some point. When this happens, your cat is happy and they feel that they have done something good. There are plenty of wives-tales about how cats like to smother babies, but it seems as though New Zealand wishes to humanely wipe cats completely off the island.
Don't get me wrong, the Krewe of Barkus and Meoux have a good time, but their mission is serious

Sure, it's 100 degrees now, but Chandler wants you to start thinking about holiday festivities. The city is asking residents to enter the 22nd annual Parade of Lights, which allows individuals and groups to contribute to the pageantry of the show.
All parade entries will be decorated with colorful holiday lights and entered into a competition for best musical or dance group, community group, automotive group, business, animal, mascot and biggest and brightest. The parade has been sanctioned as an official Arizona Centennial event, so there's also a competition for parade entries that best celebrate the state's history.
Parade entries are due Oct. 28, and participants must attend a Nov. 9 pre-parade meeting. Entry forms are available at www.chandleraz.gov/special-events or by calling (480) 782-2665. The parade is part of the 55th annual Tumbleweed Tree Lighting, which begins 4:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at Dr. A.J. Chandler Park in downtown. The parade begins at 7 p.m.

Sheryl Sandberg
Why we have too few women leaders
4.9M views Dec 2010
TEDWomen is a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers. The program of speakers, workshops, events — and daring discussions — has sparked some of TED's most iconic moments yet.
Monterey, CA
May 27-29, 2015
Momentum. Moving forward. Gaining speed. Building traction.
At TEDWomen 2015, we'll explore the bold ideas that create momentum in how we think, live and work today. From the young scientist revealing a breakthrough discovery to the activist who methodically transformed how the world thinks about women. From the veteran CEO whose trade secrets turn organizations around to the athlete whose extraordinary comeback shocked the world.
TEDWomen 2015 will bring together a global community of women and men to share ideas. We'll start with collective wisdom — choose from one of four interactive workshops to stimulate your thinking on transformational change. Then, in six sessions of TED Talks, our speakers will share insights on creating, sustaining and recovering momentum. Together, we'll discover new perspectives on where — and why — change is happening today by exploring the innovations, ideas and individuals building momentum around the world.
The program includes six speaker sessions over two days, in the traditional TED Talks format of 18-minute talks, mixed with shorter talks, conversations and performances. We're also planning a day of workshops and seminars supported by our partners, who'll bring their own focused expertise to the wider conversation.
