More information: |
Havanas in Camelot brings together fourteen of Styron's personal essays, including a reminiscence of his brief friendship with John F. Kennedy; a recollection of the power and ceremony on display at the inauguration of François Mitterrand; memoirs of Truman Capote, James Baldwin, and Terry Southern; a meditation on Mark Twain; an account of Styron's daily walks with his dog; and an evocation of his summer home on Martha's Vineyard. Styron's essays touch on the great themes of his fiction--racial oppression, slavery, and the Holocaust--but for the most part they address other subjects: bowdlerizations of history, literary lists, childhood moviegoing, the censoring of his own work, and the pursuit of celebrity fetish objects.--From amazon.com.

For the first time ever, the LA Galaxy appointed a Technical Director in experienced forward and former Galaxy assistant coach Jovan Kirovski.
I spoke to Kirovski as well as club President Chris Klein on the new role.
With their 4-1 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund appear to have one foot firmly planted in the UEFA Champions League Final.
The Germans victory is a special one for LA Galaxy Technical Director Jovan Kirovski, who was on the books at Dortmund during their last victory in the Champions League. Kirovski became the first American to ever win the Champions League when Dortmund knocked off Italian giants Juventus to win the 1996/1997 UEFA Champions League title. To date, Kirovski remains the only American to ever win the Champions League and subsequently the only American to win the Intercontinental Cup, which was the predecessor of the World Club Championship.
Kirovski admits to pulling for his former club despite being close friends with Madrid assistant coach Aitor Karanka, who was Kirovski's teammate in 2006 with the Colorado Rapids. Now more than a decade removed from Dortmund's last Champions League triumph, Kirovski looks back on his distinction as the first American to lift the European Cup.
"Back then, I didn't even think about it, but now when I do, it's special. I was part of a team that was full world superstars and to be a part of that was special," Kirovski told LA Galaxy Insider. "Not many people get an opportunity to do that not only with the Champions League, but the World Club Championship and to be a part of something like that as an American, not many get that opportunity and it's a great experience."
Might the LA Galaxy be prepared to sign another Homegrown Player?
According to a report by Top Drawer Soccer, the LA Galaxy are set to sign 18-year-old Raul Mendiola, who has spent the last two years with the club's Under-18 side. Mendiola, who was raised in San Bernardino, would be the club's sixth Homegrown signing ever.
Mendiola has been a regular with the club's Reserve side over the past year and participated in the club's Dallas Cup campaign last month.
LA Galaxy Insider reached out to the club and they did not comment on the report.
What are your thoughts about the report?
Share them below.
The LA Galaxy Foundation held their annual Reading Garden event this Tuesday at Annalee Avenue Elementary School in Carson.
Several LA Galaxy players participated in the event, but I spoke to midfielder Rafael Garcia about his participation in the video below.

The LA Galaxy finalized their Reserve League match with USL Pro side Los Angeles Blues earlier this week.
LA will take on the Blues on May 7 at The Home Depot Center's U.S. Soccer Field #1 at 7 p.m. Admission and parking for that match is free. The second match between the two clubs will take place at Titan Stadium on the campus of Cal-State Fullerton on June 15 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for that match are available through the USL Pro side's website.
CARSON, Calif. –In his third season in MLS, Jack McBean appears to be settling into a role as a regular member in the LA Galaxy starting XI.
McBean has started in four of the Galaxy's six games in all competitions while amassing two goals and an assist. I wrote this piece about McBean's rise and his desire to turn his appearances into goals for LAGalaxy.com.
Following practice on Tuesday, McBean touched on a number of topics including his status with the U.S. Under-20's, how his life is different than other teenagers his age and the rise of Philadelphia Union forward Jack McInerney.
McBean's comments are below…
(On his status with the Under-20's after not being called up to the April training camp…)
MCBEAN: "Not really worrying about it, I'm just focusing on the Galaxy and my role with the team right now. I know that if I do well with this team then it's up to [U.S. Under-20 head coach] Tab [Ramos]. He's called me in before and there's a bunch of good players."
(On how his life is different than other teenagers…)
MCBEAN: "I had to grow up a lot, but it's easier to go back home. I'm still living at home and seeing all my best friends every day. My life is different than most people, but at the same time, I'm still doing most normal things that high school kids do."
(On the rise of young forward Philadelphia Union forward Jack McInerney…)
MCBEAN: "It's awesome. He's been scoring a lot of goals…It's cool to see another young kid get opportunities and he's making the most of it."
CARSON, Calif. – A nagging sports hernia injury sidelined LA Galaxy goalkeeper Brian Perk, but now fully recovered, the backup goalkeeper is hungry to get back on the training field.
The Galaxy backup 'keeper has been sidelined since March 16 after undergoing sports hernia surgery, which allowed LA's third goalkeeper Brian Rowe to slide into the second spot behind starting 'keeper Carlo Cudicini. His recovery finally completed, Perk returned to training this week.
"I feel really excited to get back as opposed to when you've been training for two months; you take it a little for granted. When you've been out for a month and some change, it's really exciting," Perk told LA Galaxy Insider. "It's good to be back with all the guys, I missed them for a good two weeks. It's not normal and it feels good to get back with everyone."
First things first, however, as Perk understands that he must impress in training to win back his role as LA's first choice backup.
"You always have to earn it back," said Perk. "Brian Rowe obviously looks really good and is playing well as of late. I have to come in and work hard because nothing is given to you and I know that."
Head coach Bruce Arena, who kept an eagle eye on Perk during his recuperation from surgery, has been impressed thus far.
"He looks good. He looks like he is fully recovered," Arena said. "He's done a good job of rehabilitating from surgery and he's ready to go."
The 23-year-old will look to make his first appearance since the preseason on Sunday when the Galaxy take on Real Salt Lake in Reserve League play. The match would be Perk's first appearance since the Galaxy's 6-2 preseason victory over Club Tijuana on February 19.
"We haven't talked about it yet [with the coaching staff], we'll see how the end of the week goes, but I'm going to be pushing for minutes, but those things are up to Bruce so we'll see," said Perk.
If he does see time in that reserve fixture, it'd be a major boost to Perk's continued recovery.
"It'd be great, especially so quickly after I got healthy. To get however minutes would be great," Perk said. "It'd help get the motions back and since we have a lot of games coming up. I'll do anything to do what I can to get on the field when Bruce sees fit."
Three players with LA Galaxy connections were called up by U.S. Under-20 head coach Tab Ramos for the team's upcoming camp at The Home Depot Center from April 22 to April 29.
Galaxy Homegrown Players Oscar Sorto and Jose Villarreal were named to the squad along with Galaxy Academy defender Javan Torre. The training camp will likely serve as one of the final proving grounds for players ahead of the 2013 U-20 World Cup in Turkey which takes place from June 21 to July 13.
The camp is an immense opportunity for Sorto who has not been called up since prior to the CONCACAF U-20 World Cup in February. During the training camp, Sorto will be locked into a battle for the contentious the starting right back position along with Seattle Sounders FC's DeAndre Yedlin.
Torre and Villarreal were both regulars for the U-20's during their second-place finish in Puebla.
Another former member of the Galaxy Academy, Jeffrey Payeras who is currently with Guatemalan giants C.S.D Municipal was also called by Ramos.
The complete roster is below...
GOALKEEPERS: Cody Cropper (Southampton FC; Maple Grove, Minn.), Kendall McIntosh (Santa Clara; Santa Rosa, Calif.)
DEFENDERS: AJ Cochran (Wisconsin; St. Louis, Mo.), Sean Cunningham (Molde FK; Troy, Mich.), Eric Miller (Creighton; Woodbury, Minn.), Juan Pablo Ocegueda (C.D. Guadalajara; Riverside, Calif.), Jeffrey Payeras (C.S.D. Municipal; Hawthorne, Calif.), Oscar Sorto (LA Galaxy; Los Angeles, Calif.), Javan Torre (UCLA; Santa Monica, Calif.), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders; Seattle, Wash.)
MIDFIELDERS: Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas; Plano, Texas), Marlon Hairston (Louisville; Jackson, Miss.), Benji Joya (Santos Laguna; San Jose, Calif.), Mikey Lopez (Sporting Kansas City; Mission, Texas), Collin Martin (Wake Forest; Chevy Chase, Md.), Dillon Serna (Colorado Rapids; Brighton, Colo.), Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew; Gahanna, Ohio)
FORWARDS: Daniel Cuevas (Santos Laguna; Sacramento, Calif.), Daniel Garcia (North Carolina; Dallas, Texas), Alfred Koroma (Akron; Southlake, Texas), Jordan Morris (Seattle Sounders Academy; Mercer Island, Wash.), Victor Pineda (Chicago Fire; Bolingbrook, Ill.), Omar Salgado (Vancouver Whitecaps; El Paso, Texas), Jose Villarreal (LA Galaxy; Inglewood, Calif.)
CARSON, Calif. -- Landon Donovan had a message for his MLS opponents after notching a goal and an assist in the LA Galaxy's 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City: "Don't count the old guy out just yet, I still have a little bit left to give."
Below several of Donovan's teammates talk about his performance:
ROBBIE KEANE: "You have to give people a bit of time. It takes a four or five games to get into the swings of things. It doesn't matter how much fitness you do away from the team or on the training field, it's the match sharpness that is the one that is going to get you and that will only come with playing 90 minutes most week. He's played three or four games now and when you score a goal and set one up it breeds confidence."
TODD DUNIVANT: "He was great. Definitely his best performance yet. He's gotten better and better, we know that it is still going to take more time for him to get back to his standard, but to have him where he is now is great. It obviously makes a huge difference of opening up the game and getting in behind defenses."
A.J. DELAGARZA: "I told him earlier that he was going to get his first goal tonight and Robbie gave him a peach so it was great for him to get that momentum and confidence and hopefully he can score some more."
MARCELO SARVAS: "He's getting back and back. He missed preseason and, of course, he needs time. We've trained two or three months more than him, but now he's getting his shape back. Just give him time."
What did you think of Donovan's showing? Expect more next week?
Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy picked up a 2-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday to move to 3-1-2 on the year.
My Three Points to the match are here.
A few notes are below....
*Marcelo Sarvas' goal snapped LA's streak of 279 minutes and was the first goal since A.J. DeLaGarza scored in the 17th minute of the Galaxy's 2-1 defeat to Monterrey on April 3.
*Sporting Kansas City's shutout streak ended at 545 minutes, which is fifth-best in MLS history and second-best in Kansas City's club history.
*The LA Galaxy snap their winless mark at four games in all competitions.
*LA's 2-0 win over Sporting is the club's fourth shutout of the season and first since March 23.
*The crowd of 25,908 was the largest of crowd of the year to date at The Home Depot Center.
*Landon Donovan's goal was his first in 2013.
Agree with my observations?

If you're using the standard 1S lipo, the Celectra charger is doing a decent job, though, the charge rate is fixed to somewhere between 250mah and 300mah. I've charged 70mah Eflite batteries in it, over a hundred times and they still work, so not sure why. It does work on 4 large D cell (I use NIMH 9amp batteries myself), or you can buy an adapter for electric power. Some people have converted it so it can use Lipos instead of D cells, but again, no safety on the lipo.
http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/De...rodID=EFLC1004 The same charger also come bundled with two great products: (I think that's a better deal) The Ultra-Micro 4-Site airplane which is on sale almost everywhere (In my area, it's about $99, but you'll find it anywhere between that and $129). You get a plane and the charger and the adapter. http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/De...ProdID=EFL9080 If you're into helis, you can also get this charger with the Blade mSr. It's an awesome micro Heli, and you can get it for around $99 with the charger and adapter. http://www.bladehelis.com/Products/D...rodId=EFLH3080 Basically, I've seen Hobby shop selling the Celectra 4 ports charger and it's adapter for almost $60. So for $40 more, you can get either an airplane or a heli (both are nice products). With the 4 Site, you get the AR6400L receiver ($50), two servos ($20 each), one motor and gearbox ($10) (that's after you fly the hell out of it, and totally destroy the foam....) That's $100 worth of electronic alone if you would buy those separatly. |

Screenshots of DC++
DC++ Editor's Review
One of the most popular file sharing client application, DC++ allows you to share files over the Internet without any restrictions or limits. You can search for files or folders throughout multiple connected hubs; searches can be categorized by several criteria: video, audio, doc, exe, etc.
The program automatically downloads the public hubs list which includes thousands of hubs to choose from. The interface is easy to use; multiple open windows can be arranged in cascade, horizontal tile, vertical tile, and the menu includes buttons for fast access. Options include creating lists containing your favorite users and favorite hubs to which you will be automatically connected at startup, Automatic Directory Listing search option.
In case you wold like to download a file found using the Search option, you have an option for downloading the entire directory. The program is optimized even for users who are behind routers or firewalls allowing the manual setting of access ports.
Pluses: Reconnects automatically on startup and provides access to virtually limitless quantities of downloadable data.
Drawbacks / flaws: For logging on to some of the hubs, you need to share a certain amount of data, otherwise you may get disconnected on grounds of not enough shared files. If you share a huge amount of data, hashing your information by DC++ seems to take forever.
In conclusion: Having both advantages and a few flaws, DC++ is still a reliable application when it comes to the imperative: "I need it and I need it now!".
version reviewed: 0.750

The Conference Board And FactSet To Collaborate On Proxy Voting Research And Data Service To Public Companies
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board and FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE: FDS | NASDAQ: FDS) announced today a joint initiative to analyze and disseminate aggregate data from the annual general meetings (AGMs) of U.S. public companies.
The Conference Board, in collaboration with FactSet, will produce The Proxy Voting Report — an annual publication in which voting results and other information on proxy contests, proposal volume, proposal topics, and sponsorship types will be aggregated based on company size and 20 business industry groups. The annual publication will be supplemented by The Proxy Voting Fact Sheets, a bi-monthly review of the major highlights from recently held AGMs.
A working paper titled Shareholder Proposals: Trends from Recent Proxy Seasons (2007-2011), available on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) database ( http://ssrn.com/abstract=1998378), exemplifies the sort of aggregate data that will form the basis of the periodic research. The paper was co-authored by Matteo Tonello, managing director of Corporate Leadership at The Conference Board and research associate Melissa Aguilar.
The exclusive research source for these publications will be FactSet's online proxy-voting database, which encompasses more than 43,000 corporate documents, including: charters, bylaws, and other organizational documents; daily updates on filed shareholder and management proposals; and detailed defense profiles for more than 5,600 U.S.-incorporated companies. Under the agreement with FactSet, The Conference Board is also licensed to offer to its member companies and other business corporations full access to FactSet SharkRepellent and FactSet SharkWatch. (For more information, please visit www.conference-board.org/proxyvoting.) "In the last decade, The Conference Board has been recognized by regulators, government experts, and academics for its effort to objectively document evolving corporate governance practices," said Matteo Tonello. "We are proud to join forces with FactSet, a leading provider of data on AGMs and proxy voting, to consolidate a wealth of information in a resource that we believe will be of great value to corporate secretaries, general counsel, and corporate governance officers preparing for the meeting season." John Laide, Vice President, FactSet Research Systems, added: "We are excited to work with The Conference Board to provide proxy voting research to corporations. Our comprehensive coverage of shareholder meetings, voting trends, and precedents, coupled with the insight and thoughtful analysis of The Conference Board, will benefit member companies immensely, especially in what is expected to be an eventful and challenging upcoming proxy season."

Julie, I really don't know anything about my Frederick Pump except for the property deed we have. There is a Fred Pump listed in the 1900 on Stebbins Avenue in the Bronx, New York Census. It shows fred as being born Sept 1860 in Germany. He came to the U.S. in 1880. He was married to Dora and had 2 sons Frederich and Henry and a niece Sophia Obilman living with him. It also shows him as a saloon keeper. I believe now that my grandfather Fred Poellot may have bought his saloon from Fred Pump since he also lived on Stebbins ave in the Bronx. Do you have any other info on your Fred Pump such as siblings or children? Hope this helps you. Debi Z

Got collateral?
The most common collateral is a lien on the practice's real estate. Banks prefer this because if you default, they have something tangible that's easy to sell. The business itself has less tangible value, so it's harder to find a lender who's willing to let you bank on practice value alone. Of course, it's important to know what you're committing to. Say you need a $200,000 loan to purchase a practice. The lender notices that you have $100,000 in equity on your home. His first proposal is a lien on your house. My standard line: "Sorry, but my wife doesn't want me to mix business with our personal property." That has worked so far. I used to not be concerned about offering liens on the real estate. I wasn't planning on defaulting, and a lien doesn't cost anything, right? Last year when I moved into a new facility, I found out otherwise. Here's how:I want to sell the old building for $250,000, and I have the bank's lien and seller's lien on the property. For the property to be sold, the title must be free of any liens. But the practice's outstanding loans are more than $250,000, and the banks have the right not to discharge the liens until the loans are fully paid off. Getting stuck with two buildings isn't good. Be careful about what you promise. Most of the time you can find a way to make that deal happen if you keep looking for it.

[url=http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/03/study-finds-stone-age-artists-were-the-first-animators/]Study finds Stone Age artists were the first animators | The Raw Story[/url]
A French archaeologist and an artist who have studied Stone Age cave art for twenty years say that many of the drawings were intended to produce an illusion of movement.
According to Marc Azéma and Florent Rivère, viewing the scenes by flickering torchlight would have been just one of the methods employed to create a sense of animation in the figures, which date back as much as 30,000 years.
Another popular technique can be seen in an image of a eight-legged bison at Chauvet cave, which is actually two superimposed images in slightly different stances. Azéma and Rivère say they have found 53 figures in twelve different caves that use this technique to represent animals running, tossing their heads, or shaking their tails.
An even more impressive example is the use of stone or bone disks with engravings of a sitting and standing animal on opposite sides, which may have served as a prehistoric version of the 19th century toy known as a thaumatrope. If a strand of animal tendon run through a hole in the center of the disk was twisted and then rapidly untwisted, it would make the disk spin so fast that the two images would merge into an animation of the animal changing position.
Finally, the two investigators believe that some of the cave walls, like one in Chauvet that appears to show a pride of lions stalking mammoths and bison, may have been intended to be read as sequential narratives, like prehistoric comic strips.
Azéma and Rivère have been conducting their research on Paleolithic animation techniques for the past two decades, but much of their work has been available only in French. A paper in the June issue of Antiquity is the first summary of their results for an English-speaking audience.
