DEEP RUN — Will and Whitney Graves do just about everything together, and that won't change after high school.
The South Lenoir twins separated by roughly a minute at birth have both decided to continue their athletic careers in their respective sports at N.C. Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount.
Whitney, the older of the two, will play volleyball while Will, a three-sport athlete in high school, will play baseball for the Battling Bishops.
"We've always been together our whole lives, so I guess it was kind of hard to separate," Will said. "We've got something that not many brothers and sisters have."
Tuesday's signing came as somewhat of a surprise to Whitney, while it was a dream fulfilled for Will.
Whitney, who plays only volleyball, said she never felt like she was college athlete material prior to her senior season. But after blossoming for the Blue Devils last fall, she'll now help anchor the defense and the back line for the Bishops.
"I didn't know I was going to get the opportunity to go play college volleyball," Whitney said. "If you would have told me that at the beginning of volleyball season this year I would have said, 'There's no way,' but where there's a will there's a way.
"I've always dreamed of it but I never thought it would be a reality."
For Will, playing baseball collegiately has always been a goal. The small but speedy athlete was also a slot receiver for the football team and a guard on the Blue Devils' basketball team, but said baseball has always been his favorite and most successful sport.
He's currently an outfielder and pitcher for first-year coach David Combs, and said he'll be an outfielder and possibly a second baseman for the Bishops.
"It's always been a dream to go play college baseball," Will said. "That's what I've always wanted to do; now I finally get the opportunity to do it."
Wesleyan wasn't the only school that wanted the twins, they said. Both had the opportunity to play at Methodist University in Fayetteville.
But in the end, each chose Rocky Mount.
"For me, it was the volleyball coach (at N.C. Wesleyan)," Whitney said. "She's real personable and kind of made it feel like it was going to be like a family there."
"It was more of a family-oriented school," Will said of Wesleyan. "The team looked like they were out there having more fun before the games."
The twins actually had thoughts of going their separate ways after graduation — Whitney to N.C. Wesleyan and Will to Methodist.
But it didn't take long for the siblings to realize things would be better if they stuck together for four more years.
"It was actually very easy to stay together," Whitney said. "It was harder to try and go away from each other."

I'm a new first-time homebuyer who needs to clean out my gutters. They are jammed with fall leaves. My home inspector told me to get a ladder and a leaf blower to do the job. The only problem is that the ground around my home is not level. It slopes away from the house on both sides where gutters are, most steeply in the back but somewhat in the front. Is there a way that I can safely place my extension ladder? I heard using a piece of plywood to create a flat surface might work - other good options?

It may be easier to find one place where you can safely place the ladder so that you can get onto the roof. Once you are there you can remove the leaves. Of course this depends on the how steep the roof is and your comfort level of being on the roof vs being on a ladder.
Unless you plan to buy a leaf blower anyway, make sure there are only dry leaves in the gutters. If they're full of decomposing leaves, you'll have to scoop out the gunk and a leaf blower isn't going to cut it.

PINETOPS — On the surface, Kinston's 73-40 win at SouthWest Edgecombe Tuesday night looked like quite the impressive conference road victory.
In reality, not so much.
Twice, Kinston coach Perry Tyndall called timeouts to chastise his team's lack of focus, and although the Vikings' superior talent, size, and quickness seized the day, the manner in which the Eastern Plains 2A Conference triumph materialized left the first-year coach at times fuming.
"We started the game unfocused and without energy, very lackadaisical," Tyndall said. "We were sloppy on both ends of the floor and didn't put any value on protecting the basketball."
Kinston, which turned the ball over just seven times in its last win over Greene Central, surpassed that number with 1:03 left in the first quarter.
Five of Kinston's first seven possessions ended in miscues, a performance that provoked Tyndall's first timeout and tongue-lashing.
"The first few minutes were a recipe for disaster," Tyndall said. "If we have a start like that again, it's going to come back and bite us. It's something we'll definitely correct in practice."
The Vikings (14-2, 7-0) took their coach's words to heart and eventually found their rhythm. A midcourt steal and breakaway jam by Denzel Keyes put Kinston ahead 8-4 and seemed to snap the team out of the doldrums.
Kinston finished the quarter on a 15-7 run and then outscored the Cougars (11-5, 2-4) 14-3 in the second quarter.
Josh Dawson's 11 second period points on 5-of-5 shooting helped the Vikings to a 38-14 halftime lead.
"We had our moments," Tyndall said. "There were stretches where we played very well, but this was definitely not a complete 32-minute effort. We've got to do a better job of understanding that we can't let up, not even for a few seconds."
Kinston finished with an uncharacteristic 20 turnovers, the last of which led to another annoyed timeout with 30 seconds remaining.
"I apologized to (Cougars coach ) Anthony (Burns) for calling timeout that late with a 30-point lead, but I was frustrated," Tyndall said. "I don't care what the situation is. The kids in the game at the end seemed lazy, just going through the motions, and that is unacceptable."
Dawson finished with a game-high 17 points, while Andrew Lopez came off the bench to score 16, and Keyes added 15.
Kinston will have to correct its effort quickly as 4A power Wilmington New Hanover travels to Viking Gym today.
There will be two games, junior varsity and varsity, starting at 6 p.m. The girls will not be in action.
Kinston's girls played without junior sensation Brittany Drumgoole, who was battling the flu, but still easily generated enough firepower to cruise past the winless Cougars (0-16, 0-6).
Monique Lofton and Lydia Rivers collected 16 points apiece for the Vikings (14-4, 7-0), who scored the first 15 points of the game and then the first nine of the second half.
Rivers connected on 7 of 11 field goal attempts and also added 11 rebounds and five blocks. Kinston dominated the boards by a 46-27 margin.
Lofton was deadly from 3-point range, drilling 4 of 10 from beyond the arc.
Takerian Harper contributed 10 points for Coach Hubert Quinerly's squad.

Kanye West, the Fashionable Male – The Daily Swoon
Rapper Kanye West has style, swagger, and the patience to date a Kardashian — all good traits in a guy that makes us swoon.
His on-stage shenanigans aside, Kanye isn't your average rapper — the guy has real taste in fashion and design, and even worked an internship for Vogue. The dude is mad serious about looking good and making sure everyone else looks their best, too.
I mean, the guy started dating Kim Kardashian, threw out a bunch of her clothes, and then picked out new ones for her. That may seem controlling, but let's be real here: How many of us would kill for a boyfriend with that much fashion sense? Who actually enjoys that much shopping? No one, that's who.
Kanye is a super talented musician, which is enough to make you love him already, but his attitude is what really seals the deal. He's incredibly confident and, yes, cocky, but he has the goods to back it up.
And you know if Kim is his girlfriend, he has to be incredibly patient on some level (though I'm still operating under the belief that his relationship with her is some sort of experimental pop art project on the value of celebrity culture).

In 1971, Congress declared our wild horses and burros an integral part of our public rangelands and ordered the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to care for them as cultural icons. Over the years, the BLM has rounded up tens of thousands of our wild equines, often with cruel methods, and shipped them to tax-funded holding facilities where they are confined for the rest of their lives.
The BLM is again looking to apply the same failed model of round-ups and removals in revised management plans for wild horses out West. These plans must be altered.
If adopted, these management plans would decimate the wild horse population in the Wyoming Checkerboard, a two-million-acre mix of public and private land where nearly half of Wyoming's wild horses live. This is certainly not the free-roaming vision Congress set out for these majestic animals.
The good news is that you can help! The BLM is accepting public comments through Friday, September 27, on the potentially devastating revisions to Resource Management Plans that will cull wild horses in Wyoming.
Please be a voice for our wild horses before their time runs out. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly contact the BLM. Urge the agency to adopt policies that give horses their fair share of habitat and keep them on the range where they belong.
On behalf of the horses, we thank you!
This is America & we need to set humane examples to others as well as the rest of the world in every aspect. Let's resolve the issue without cruelty involvement.
Our gubment can spend gazillions on "saving" owls, fish, frogs, etc, etc., but for the horses, they want to put them in a fenced in lot and let them die 'their natural life' there. Time to give our wild horses the same protection that we give those frogs. Time to give them their freedom. Time to send congress packing. Vote wisely; vote carefully as if your life depended on it.
I love to watch the wild horses, running & roaming free, in my home state of Wyoming. It's also a big tourist draw. It upsets me to know about our "management" of them. They are beutiful, magestic creatures that deserve all our respect. I know many of our large cattle companies want the land the horses are on to use for their cattle to range. It's sad.
When are these outrageous roundups going to stop. They are totally inhumane. The BLM is horrible how it handles these majestic creatures. Wild animals reserve to remain in the wild not rounded up and caged.
BLM needs to be replaced with people who protect the horses/mules. Obviously the present administration is not concerned about the best interests of these wild animals. If there are concerned about the number of horses, they could give them birth control or fix some of them.
Let the horses graze in the wild. Dont kill them with taxpayers money.
Please save these horses they have been such a vital part of this country for so long. please treat them with the respect that they deserve and save these beautiful creatures.
The reason the BLM rounds up wild horses is because they interfere with cattle grazing on public lands. They sometimes will actually drive cattle away from water sources.
While I am not in agreement with the roundup and confinement of wild horses at taxpayer expense, I just wanted to show that there is a reason for it.
The solution would be for the BLM to not grant cattle grazing permits where wild horses roam.
These permits are passed down through ranching families for generations. I believe the cost to the rancher for the grazing permit is very low.
This is not acceptable and just plain sad. Too bad the horses cannot have a BLM round-up!!!!
Ranchers are using the Mustangs land for free and would like to see them gone. Ranchers need to be charged to use this land and allow the Mustangs to share it!

Ashwin Willemse's career is not over. The Cats flyer has come through intense rehabilitation and will be fit to start the Super 14 campaign.
"Ashwin is in his final stage of rehabilitation and while he's training every day I want to make sure he's 100 percent fit and ready before I use him," Cats coach Frans Ludeke told The Star.
Willemse's recovery is remarkable, bearing in mind the many predictions that he would be forced to retire prematurely from the game after yet another horrific injury in the opening weeks of last year's Super 12.
After being the one shining light during the nightmare 2003 season, Willemse has been plagued by misfortune and many will be hoping those days are finally behind him. None more so than Jake White, a known fan of Willemse's abilities, who has yet to find a permanent wing to partner Bryan Habana.
Breyton Paulse's French commitments means his availability will be sporadic, whilst the jury is still out on Conrad Jantjes' claims to jersey 14.
Willemse's mind, however, will be entirely on the upcoming Cats campaign.
"He's looking good to start the Super 14 (February 11), but we'll have to assess him closer to the time. There's no point in rushing him if he isn't up to it," Ludeke said.
Such caution is understandable, and should Willemse make a successful recovery, both the Cats and South African rugby will be the grateful beneficiaries of such a policy.

****, Lincecum was bloody good today too. Great pitching so far this postseason.
Later playoffs, didnt want you anyway
Argh, so frustrating from the Reds today. Blew a lead with a couple of errors.
Fascinating series, this Rays-Rangers clash. Today's game has been intense.
Ooh. Exciting stuff.
The Twins are awful in the postseason, aren't they? They've lost 12 straight play-off games now, dating back to 2004. Tbf the Yankees looked scary good in that series.
Longoria mah boiiiiii. Bring it home!

Having a lot of anxiety and stress about the perceived flaw and spending a lot of time focusing on it, such as frequently picking at skin, excessively checking appearance in a mirror, hiding the imperfection, comparing appearance with others, excessively grooming, seeking reassurance from others about how they look, and getting cosmetic surgery. Getting cosmetic surgery can make BDD worse. A person with BDD is often not happy with the surgical outcome. Even if satisfied with the surgery, the person may start to focus attention on another body area and become preoccupied trying to fix the new "defect."

Orson Scott Card's 1985 novel Ender's Game was a miracle oak that grew from the tiny acorn of 1977 short story. This science fiction classic about a young man's experiences at Battle School won both the Hugo and the Nebula awards and then became the takeoff vehicle for a quintet that continues to gain readers. Speaking of takeoffs, a much-discussed, widely anticipated adaptation will premiere in the United States on November 1st. It stars Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, and Ben Kingsley. Now in a mass-market movie tie-in edition and a NOOK Book.

Word is out among crooks: Everett cops cracking down
Everett police burglary team makes 320 arrests since Sept.

Detective Jim Massingale (left) talks to officer Nathan Wallace while on patrol in north Everett. The Everett police force has taken a team approach to cracking down on drug activity and burglaries in the area.

Officer Anatoly Kravchun (right) searches the backpack of a woman who was arrested for giving a false name and a prior warrant for possession of a controlled substance in an alley off the 1200 block of Broadway as Kravchun's partner, officer Nathan Wallace, looks on.
The words -- a reference to getting out and working hard -- served as a rallying cry among members of the BRT, an acronym for Everett's newly formed Burglary Reduction Team. The detectives and patrol officers are tasked with reducing property crimes in a city of 103,000.
Since it began on Sept. 11, the team has made 320 arrests. Many collars were connected directly to thefts, burglaries and those wheeling and dealing in stolen goods. Others, including several drug arrests, were believed to be indirectly related.
"Our goal isn't to go for the numbers," said Sgt. Dan Boardley, who directs the squad. "It's the behavior. We want the crooks to be very uncomfortable on the streets."
Within two weeks of the team's formation, word began trickling back from the Snohomish County Jail that inmates were warning one another. They noticed more Everett police officers out and about hunting down thieves.
On its first day, it took the team one hour and 13 minutes to make its first three arrests on property-crime related warrants. First on the list was Ryan W. Frey, who had been wanted for a year on probation violations after being convicted as a juvenile for setting the fire that burned down Emory's restaurant at Silver Lake in 2009. When the team caught up with him, he was hanging out with other young men engaged in thefts.
In its first month, the team made 102 arrests, recovered six stolen firearms, seized $20,000 in cash and recovered more than $17,000 in personal property. It also confiscated a large quantity of illegal street drugs.
It's all part of an age-old cycle: Addicts steal to feed their habits.
The officers spend parts of their shifts on the computer and in reviewing reports looking for leads on suspects and the places where they're likely to be found.
Their schedules vary to keep the bad guys guessing. So do the number of officers on the team, which has fluctuated between four and eight. The team is freed from responding to 911 calls, which allows them to focus their energies on property crimes.
Jim Massingale is an arson investigator who's also part of the burglary reduction team.
On a dark afternoon in late November, the veteran detective zigzagged through side streets and thoroughfares from north to south Everett, getting in and out of his patrol car roughly a dozen times to talk with people.
Along the way, he met a man who appeared to be loitering near a home, but turned out to be looking to rent a garage. There was another man carrying a bag of pie crusts and a towel he had rummaged out of garbage containers.
In central Everett, Massingale stopped in the rain to chat with a young woman he'd spotted minutes before leaving a house where thieves are known to hang out. From their conversation, the detective confirmed the street name of a suspect police wanted to know more about.
Massingale drove through hotel and motel parking lots, punching license plate numbers into his patrol car computer for potential warrants.
"It's kind of like you are checking the trap line," he said.
He provided what amounted to a drive-by tour of homes where thieves have been known to store their wares.
Some now stood empty. One once was packed with people. They were evicted after multiple arrests.
Massingale stopped by another home off Seventh Avenue. In the muddy back yard he found a man with a thick, dark beard and a blue bandana atop his head. The man had served time in prison for assault. He was making arrangements to leave the next morning, he said. The house -- once a haven for thieves -- had been trashed. He was the last to leave.
Massingale then drove into an upscale block of two-story homes.
He nodded toward one well-maintained house.
"Just to drive by, you wouldn't know it," he said. "A lot of stolen property comes through this place."
The burglary reduction team relies heavily on patrol officers.
"Patrol is our best avenue, our best intel source, into new locations to focus our resources on," Massingale said.
Also useful is ongoing data collection and crime analysis that helps identify hotspots. "Intelligence-based policing" in police parlance.
The plan is that the burglary reduction team will be absorbed next spring by the department's anti-crime team, which will keep the same mission and commitment to reducing property crimes.
Boardley, the sergeant directing the burglary reduction team, said communication and knowledge across the department have been critical.
"We know we aren't going to go out and catch a bunch of burglaries in progress. That will happen only a few times in your career," he said. "We want to ID people involved in property crimes."
Those tips are followed up and developed. Suspects are identified; homes are monitored. Arrests are made.
"They're not the glamorous cases," Boardley said. "They're not the high-profile cases. They are the ones affecting quality of life."
The rewards sometimes come in anecdotes.
Boardley recently learned of one prolific drug dealer who told a friend he was moving out of city limits for fear of getting caught.
That vignette brings a smile to the sergeant's face.
"We don't want them to believe they can establish roots in Everett," he said.

Become a Member!
Support the Museum by becoming a member today!
Join us for the official launch of an important new book about the surrender at Appomattox written by Dr. Elizabeth Varon, professor of history at the University of Virginia and member of the Museum's Board of Trustees, and published by Oxford University Press. Dr. Varon, author of Disunion! The Coming of the American Civil War, Southern Woman, Yankee Spy: The True Story of Elizabeth Van Lew, and other books, will sign copies. Cost: Free with museum admission.
About the book: Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House evokes a highly gratifying image in the popular mind — it was, many believe, a moment that transcended politics, a moment of healing, a moment of patriotism untainted by ideology. But as Elizabeth Varon
reveals in this vividly narrated history, this rosy image conceals a seething debate over precisely what the surrender meant and what kind of nation would emerge from war. The combatants in that debate included the iconic Lee and Grant, but they also included a cast of characters previously overlooked, who brought their own understanding of the war's causes, consequences, and meaning.
A special, members only reception, talk, and booksigning will take place at 5:30pm that evening. To become a member and gain access to this and other member events, click here or call 855-649-1861 x143.

The LA Galaxy inked three players on Tuesday as the club re-signed pair of 2012 holdovers in midfielder Mike Magee and goalkeeper Brian Perk while signing Re-Entry Draft selection Colin Clark. Per league and club rules, the terms of the agreements were not announced.
Magee returns to the Galaxy after a banner 2012 that saw him score nine goals and five assists in 39 games across all competitions. Perk served as the club's backup goalkeeper in 2012 while making seven appearances and will likely battle with Re-Entry Draft selection William Hesmer for the backup role behind Carlo Cudicini in 2013.
Meanwhile, Clark, a versatile midfielder who can play on either flank made 14 appearances for the Houston Dynamo during the 2012 regular season scoring a single goal.
Your daily dose of Frank Lampard speculation is provided today by ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle.
The reporter cites multiple sources on both sides of the Atlantic including one within the LA Galaxy organization who admit that talks between Lampard and the Galaxy have occurred.
"It may happen as there have been discussions," The source told ESPN FC. "Nothing official yet, but the rumors are real."
On Monday, more than 40 MLS players and other prominent members of the U.S. Soccer community participated in "Soccer Night in Newtown" offering their own show of support for the citizens of Newtown, Conn. on the heels of tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December.
Nearly 1,500 Newtown residents attended in "Soccer Night in Newtown" , which was spearheaded by Houston Dynamo President Chris Canetti allowing players to interact with a community that was deeply affected by December's tragedy.that Three members of the LA Galaxy traveled to Connecticut for the event as captain Landon Donovan, defender Sean Franklin and Rafael Garcia took part in the touching event.
"The opportunity to spend a few hours with the people of Newtown was something I'll never forget," said Donovan in a statement. "It was one of the best days of my life."
Garcia, himself, a father of a three-year-old son, was also touched by the experience.
"To have the opportunity to come to Newtown and meet so many great people and put smiles on the faces of these children is priceless," said Garcia. "I'm very glad I got the opportunity to be a part of this event. This is an experience I will remember for the rest of my life."
In an interview with MLSsoccer.com, LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena stated that it is "not likely" that goalkeeper Josh Saunders will return to the LA Galaxy after turning down several contract offers "in the last year."
With Saunders on the way out, it seems likely that the starting goalkeeper role will fall to Carlo Cudicini who was signed last week. Arena told MLSsoccer.com, that he had kept tabs on Cudicini for a number of years and spoke to his goalkeeper during the 2002 World Cup, former U.S. international Brad Friedel about the impact that he could have in MLS.
"I think we have a tremendously experienced goalkeeper," Arena told MLSsoccer.com. "He's extremely fit for his age. I don't have any concerns about that. I think he's got a lot of class. I think he's an outstanding goalkeeper, and he's going to be great with our backline and helping with the communication and organization."
Cudicini will likely be one of four goalkeepers in preseason camp for the Galaxy as Arena confirmed during his interview that the club has come to an agreement with back-up Brian Perk while third goalkeeper Brian Rowe willl return to the club. Meanwhile, the LA Galaxy continue to hold the rights to veteran goalkeeper William Hesmer.
We're a little more than a week from the 2013 MLS SuperDraft and the draft class is continuing to grow.
MLS announced on Monday that it had signed Indiana's versatile forward/defender Eriq Zavaleta to a Generation Adidas contract. Zavaleta scored 18 goals in his sophomore season for the national champion Hoosiers after scoring an impressive 10 goals as a freshman. Although Zavaleta's scoring numbers are impressive, some scouts feel that the 6-foot-1 target forward is better suited for a central defender role in MLS. Zavaleta joins a Generation Adidas list Furman's Walker Zimmerman, Louisville's Andrew Farrell, North Carolina midfielder Mikey Lopez and Virginia Commonwealth forward Jason Johnson.
Zavaleta wasn't the only signing as MLS also inked five seniors in Connecticut midfielder Carlos Alvarez, Boston College midfielder Kyle Bekker, Maryland midfielder John Stertzer and Notre Dame pair Ryan Finley and Dillon Powers.
*The Frank Lampard saga continues to turn as Lampard's agent Steve Kutner told The Guardian that the 34-year-old midfielder will "under no circumstances" sign a contract extension with Chelsea FC. Meanwhile, The British tabloid Daily Mail is looking to a far different source for Lampard's next destination, his fiancé who says that his choices are limited to "L.A.. or Italy."
*The Montreal Impact announced on Monday that Marco Schallibaum will be the club's head coach for Montreal's second season in MLS. The 50-year-old head coach is a veteran of the Swiss Super League, where he played for a decade before becoming a manager. Montreal parted ways with Jesse Marsch in November.
*Soccer By Ives is reporting that Toronto FC head coach Paul Mariner will be dismissed by TFC with New Zealand International Ryan Nelsen taking the position. Earlier in the day, the Toronto Sun's Kurtis Larson confirmed that Nelsen will have a role with Toronto in 2013, but did not specify on his role. This news comes as TFC officially announced that Bob de Klerk will not return as the club's technical manager.
*Meanwhile, ESPN analyst Alexi Lalas has reported that Portuguese International Paulo Sousa is "a good bet" to become the new head coach of the New York Red Bulls.
*The Colorado Rapids officially announced the re-signing of Honduran midfielder Hendry Thomas.
*D.C. United confirmed that Andy Najar will go on a month-long loan to Belgian side Anderlecht.
*FIFA held their annual Ballon d'Or gala in Zurich on Monday and U.S. women's national team forward Abby Wambach was named Women's Player of the Year while former USWNT head coach Pia Sundhage was selected as Coach of the Year. Argentina and FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi was awarded the Men's Player of the Year for the fourth year in a row while Spain manager Vincete Del Bosque was awarded Coach of the Year. FIFA also unveiled the world First XI which was a strictly La Liga affair. The complete XI is below...
GK: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid).
DEF: Dani Alves (FC Barcelona), Gerard Pique (FC Barcelona), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Marcelo (Real Madrid).
MID: Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Xavi (FC Barcelona), Andres Iniesta (FC Barcelona.
ATT: Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona), Falcao (Atlético Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid).
Three LA Galaxy players took part in "Soccer Night in Newtown" on Monday in an event spearheaded by Houston Dynamo President Chris Canetti as a way to help out those members of the Newton community who were deeply affected by the tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementry in December.
LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan, right back Sean Franklin and midfielder Rafael Garcia were among the dozens of MLS and former U.S. soccer players who took part in the event which allowed Newton residents to meet the soccer players and participate in small sided soccer games, among other activities.
"To be able to put smiles on the families and kids faces again in Newtown, it's truly special. This is a community that experienced a terrible tragedy, but for one day we get to help them turn away from that and focus on something fun and positive," Franklin said in a statement. "It makes me feel honored and privileged to be a part of impacting these lives."
We'll have more on their participation in the event after its conclusion.
At long last, Omar Gonzalez received a well-deserved call-up to the U.S. national team for their annual January camp along with fellow centerback A.J. DeLaGarza and based on Jurgen Klinsmann's comments, the U.S. national team boss is excited to have the LA Galaxy centerback in the fold.
In an interview on Fox Soccer's Goals on Sunday, Klinsmann unveiled his 25-man roster for the U.S. National team's Jan. 29 match against Canada in Houston. During his conversation Klinsmann touched on a number of topics including Landon Donovan's future and the reasons for Gonzalez's inclusion.
The video of the interview is below, but Klinsmann's comments on Gonzalez are as follows:
(On Gonzalez stepping up to the International stage...)
KLINSMANN: "He needs to show us he's ready for a big step into international football. He needs to show us that he wants to break in. He needs to show us that he's ready to guide a back line, that he's ready to communicate a lot and take over the responsibility."
(On whether Gonzalez's knee surgery in early 2012 was the rationale for him being left off the U.S. roster as of late.
KLINSMANN: "If it wasn't for his injury at the beginning of last year, he would have been with us already on a regular basis. Yes, obviously [he has] tremendous physical abilities. He grew under Bruce Arena into a very good, solid centerback but national team is another level. And so we are happy to have him now finally with us in camp and to see him work on a daily basis."
Landon Donovan is still deciding his playing future and for that reason, it was no surprise that he was not called up to the U.S. national team's January camp roster ahead of a Jan. 29 friendly against Canada at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.
The U.S. national team boss announced his 25-man roster on Sunday, which included LA Galaxy defenders A.J. DeLaGarza and Omar Gonzalez, but Donovan was not included. Following LA's MLS Cup victory, Donovan told reporters that he was interested in taking some time this offseason to determine if he was still interested in continuing his storied playing career that includes 144 appearances for the U.S. and 49 goals.
Here is what Klinsmann said on Fox Soccer's Goals on Sunday about the LA Galaxy captain.
"Well, Landon has not been invited, because, obviously, he is taking his break. He is thinking about his future, " said Klinsmann. "And he is not at a point yet where he knows what he wants to do. So it is as simple as that. That is why we didn't invite Landon. We are as curious as everybody else about what his decision will be in the future time, but right now he is not part of this camp."
What are your thoughts on this development?
Defenders A.J. DeLaGarza and Omar Gonzalez have been called up to U.S. national team head coach Jurgen Klinsman's 25-man roster for his camp at The Home Depot Center which begins on Jan. 7, U.S. Soccer announced on Sunday.
The U.S. team will meet until Jan. 27 when they will travel to Houston for the match against Canada at BBVA Compass Stadium on Jan. 29.
DeLaGarza is coming off a stellar season that saw him make 30 appearances in MLS play playing nearly exclusively at center back for the Galaxy before his knee injury on Sept. 30 effectively ended his season. DeLaGarza had been linked with a potential national team switch to Guam in November. Meanwhile, Gonzalez made a total of 21 appearances over all competitions after battling back from offseason knee surgery. The 24-year-old central defender was at his best during LA's MLS Cup win over the Houston Dynamo as he became the first defender to be selected MLS Cup MVP.
Also called up is former LA Galaxy forward Edson Buddle, who was recently traded to the Colorado Rapids.
GOALKEEPERS (3): Tally Hall (Houston Dynamo), Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire)
DEFENDERS (9): Steven Beitashour (San Jose Earthquakes), Tony Beltran (Real Salt Lake), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), A.J. DeLaGarza (LA Galaxy), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Connor Lade (New York Red Bulls), Alfredo Morales (Hertha Berlin), Justin Morrow (San Jose Earthquakes), Jeff Parke (Philadelphia Union)
MIDFIELDERS (8): Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Alejandro Bedoya (out of contract), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders), Benny Feilhaber (Sporting Kansas City), Joshua Gatt (Molde), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (5): Juan Agudelo (Chivas USA), Will Bruin (Houston Dynamo), Edson Buddle (Colorado Rapids), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
It appears that the LA Galaxy will have three more seasons of Irish forward Robbie Keane.
In an interview with Sky Sports' Fantasy Football Show, the 32-year-old Ireland International stated that he has decided to extend his current MLS contract by signing a two year extension while also ruling out an offseason loan.
"It's been a long season, with the Euros and what have you so I've a few little niggles that need to be sorted out so I don't think at this moment in time it would be right for me to go anywhere," Keane said in the interview, video of which can be seen here. "I had another year left and they offered me a new contract at the end of last season so I've just signed a new two-year contract two days ago."
Based on Keane's comments, the Irish forward's contract would end at the end of the 2015 season when he would be 35-years-old. Keane is coming off a stellar 2012 that saw him score 23 goals and 10 assists in 37 games across all competitions.
During his interview on Sky Sports, Keane also revealed his best 11 players that he has ever played with. The list and Keane's rationalizations for his selections are quite interesting so be sure to take a look.

Stanwood tops Arlington in battle of old league rivals
Stanwood capitalizes on Arlington's slow start in 58-41 victory
Both teams had already clinched playoff berths, and the game between the 3A Spartans and 4A Eagles had no impact on either teams' league records.
It was just for pride. And preparation for the playoffs.
With the Stanwood gym rocking as fans from both sides cheered, the Spartans came out on top -- despite finding themselves in a bit of foul trouble -- and defeated Arlington 58-41.
"These are the games we want to play," said Stanwood head coach Dennis Kloke. "We want to play good teams like Arlington."
The 17-point difference was identical to the first time these two teams met earlier in the year, only that time the Eagles were victorious 55-38.
The former conference rivals find themselves in different classifications this season, with the Spartans relocated to 3A. But that didn't stop the teams from scheduling two nonconference games against each other -- one at each school -- and keeping the basketball Stilly Cup going.
Stanwood got going a little bit quicker, outscoring the Eagles 33-17 in the first two quarters. The lead held, despite Arlington's best efforts in the second half.
"That was probably one of our worst starts of the year, and it happened against a really good team," said Joe Marsh, the Eagles' head coach.
Marsh attributed part of the slow start to Arlington's game the night before, a hard-fought 43-41 win over Monroe Friday night. He said his team was tired in the first half and the Eagles' slow start turned out to be the difference in the game.
"We came out flat," Marsh said. "Because of the back-to-back games, we played tired in the first half. They came out ready to go. And Stanwood is a good team.
"It's tough. It's that time of the year where everyone's gearing up for the stretch run and they're tired. That's not an excuse though. Everyone's tired."
Arlington was able to close the gap a bit in the third, outscoring Stanwood 18-13 after the break. The Eagles were aided by Stanwood's two post players Tristan Murphy and Rachel Swartz, who found themselves on the Spartans' bench in foul trouble.
By the end of the game, both teams had several players in foul trouble. Arlington and Stanwood finished the game with 17 and 19 fouls, respectively.
Kloke didn't disagree with the foul calls. At least the ones called on his Stanwood team.
"We did a lot of reaching," Kloke said. "We fouled."
By the end of the third quarter the Spartans had out-fouled Arlington 8-to-1, putting the Eagles in the bonus with 1:30 left in the third.
"I'm not going to complain about trying to get the ball and just reaching a little late," Kloke said.
Arlington utilized four free throws while more than doubling their point total in the third quarter. But in the fourth they were outscored 12-6 as Stanwood pulled away.
"This is a great game to prepare us for the end of the season," Marsh said. "What we really need to know is in games like this you have to bring it from the minute the ball goes up. We can't start out so slow."
Despite sitting a good portion of the third and fourth quarters, Murphy still led the Spartans in scoring with 14 points while grabbing five rebounds. Jillian Jacobs and Samantha Powell each scored 12 points apiece and Swartz added 10 points and six rebounds.
With his two starting posts in foul trouble, Kloke used Janea Taylor significantly in the second half. He was very pleased with the junior's presence down low, which helped the Spartans continue without two of their leading scorers. Taylor finished with four points, three rebounds and a pair of steals.
"Janea had to go in and I thought she did a great job," Kloke said. "She made some big, big plays offensively."
In the final two minutes, Arlington may have lost more than the game. Eagles star forward Lindsay Brown fell to the floor after trying to get a rebound with 1:20 to go in the game, and remained on the ground holding her knee. She was helped off the court, but appeared to be walking for postgame handshakes.
Kloke, who talked with Brown after the game, seemed confident she would be all right.
"I think Lindsay Brown is one heck of a player," Kloke said. "I just hope she's okay. I talked to her and she said she'll be okay."
Brown finished with a team-high 13 points for Arlington and also grabbed six rebounds.

NRA increases pressure on state lawmakers
Ted S. Warren / Associated Press
A man who identified himself as Patrick V. (center) wears an AR-15 rifle as he joins others who earlier attended a gun rights rally Friday for a walk around the rotunda at the Capitol in Olympia. Several hundred people gathered and spoke Friday against proposed legislation at both the state and national levels aimed at curbing gun violence.
In a mailed note to its Washington members, the NRA called for "URGENT" action to contact GOP Rep. Mike Hope, who works as a Seattle police officer and was previously supported by the NRA. It said Hope's vote could determine the fate of a "sweeping gun control measure."
Hope supports the background check plan, saying Tuesday that it is a reasonable way to help keep guns away from violent criminals and the mentally ill. Hope said he's invited the NRA to help shape the bill and has some changes that he's going to propose to make the bill better.
"What frustrates me is that they're not really looking at that stuff," Hope said of the NRA. "They're just looking at a unilateral `no' to everything, and they're not looking for a solution."
Gun buyers already have to undergo a background check if they purchase from a federally licensed firearms dealer. The bill supported by Hope and many Democrats would expand that to sales between private parties, with Hope saying criminals use the private purchasing to get a gun without having to prove that they are legally allowed to own one.
Hope said he's received about 300 emails related to the gun bill and believes there are a lot of misconceptions about what it does. In the memo that the NRA sent to its members, the group said the bill would have no impact on criminals and would be "the first steps toward universal registration of firearms and owners." It called the background checks plan "a massive regulatory scheme with huge burdens and obstacles."
Hope said the note is inaccurate. He said records of the background checks would not be maintained or part of a registration system. Under the bill, two people wanting to complete a transaction could go to their local gun shop or local law enforcement agency and pay for a background check of $20 or less.
NRA officials did not respond to requests for comment.
The background checks plan also has the support of Republican Sen. Steve Litzow and Senate Majority Leader Rodney Tom, a Democrat who has aligned himself with Republicans this year. House lawmakers will begin considering the measure Wednesday in a committee hearing.

National team competitions
12-13, 30-17, 19-16, 23-27
Norrköping Dolphins improved to 2-1 in Group C of the EuroChallenge after an 84-73 home victory over Tampereen Pyrintö.
Anton Saks led Norrköping with 17 points while Keith Gabriel and Edgars Jeromanovs both scored 13 points and Pierre Hampton added 12 points. The Swedish host team picked up their second home victory of the campaign.
Finnish side Tampereen dropped to 0-3 in the group - with two road defeats - despite double-doubles by both Lamonte Ulmer (23 points and 11 rebounds) and Damon Williams (19 and 13).
Norrköping's 4-0 lead to start the game was the biggest of the first quarter, which featured five lead changes and four ties.
The second quarter was just as hard-fought with six lead changes and one tie. Norrköping however closed the first half on a 20-7 run with Jeromanovs scoring three three-pointers and a basket as Norrköping led 42-30 at halftime.
Ulmer and Antti Nikkilä brought Tampereen within 42-36 early in the second half but Martin Ringström's triple pushed the Dolphins' lead back out to 55-41. And Pavel Ermolinskij's three-point play late had the Swedish side ahead 61-46 after three quarters.
Gabriel hit back-to-back three-balls to start the fourth quarter and had another long ball and a dunk as Norrköping pulled ahead 72-53 with just more than six minutes to play. Tampereen tried to come back but two big threes by Saks kept the guests at bay.
Tampeeren Pyrintö head coach Ville Tuominen:"We had a bad moment in the second quarter. We played pretty good defense in the beginning and then our energy disappeared. We didn't find our energy after that, and they played better. First quarter we were good. We also shot very poorly from the three point line."
Tampereen Pyrintö player Lamonte Ulmer:"We wanted to come out with a lot of energy, but we had a five-minute bad period. We had some good runs, but it didn't go all the way tonight."
Norrköping Dolphins head coach Paul Burke:"It was a solid game; at one point we had a 19-point lead. It ended up being an 11-point win instead of a 25-point win, but I am not disappointed. It is important to win our home games. Anton Saks was very positive tonight. He had more energy, more intensity, and a better mentality. Sometimes he doesn't do that. He came back and was tough. It was a big step forward. Our defense has been solid all year, and today it was good except for the rebounds."
Norrköping Dolphins player Anton Saks:"We had an overall solid performance except for our rebounding, but it was a good win. We play tough teams in the EuroChallenge so this was important."

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
On April 20, within hours after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, teams from the National Park Service were responding.
Jon Jarvis, NPS Director, told Federal News Radio, "unfortunately, we in the National Park Service have a lot of experience at this. This is certainly not the first oil spill that we ever dealt with."
And yet, in some ways, this spill is different.
New government estimates Thursday put the size of the spill at nearly 18 million to 39 million gallons over the past five weeks, surpassing the 1989 Exxon Valdez accident in Alaska. Then, nearly 11 million gallons spilled.
Jarvis said he sent the teams, trained to respond to all forms of incidents - "fires, terrorist incidents, and oil spills just being one of those" so quickly because it was clear, this spill was going to be a challenge.
"I got 'em out in front of this because recognizing almost immediately this is an unprecedented type of spill, that it's coming up from a mile down, it's a continuous flow, the technology for shutting it down is not cut and dry, and so we needed to get out on top of it really fast."
Jarvis said he drew on his experience from twenty years ago.
One of the big lessons that we learned from Exxon Valdez is that we didn't have time to get out in front of the oil before it reached the beaches in Prince William Sound. We didn't have, really, much of a baseline of information. We're in a little better shape down here in terms of baseline just in general.
Having had that experience, and with other tanker-related oil spills, it was easier to see what would be needed here, said Jarvis.
(With tankers) you have sort of a fixed location. You have a fixed amount of oil. You have a strategy around containment of the effects. This incident is unprecedented in that it is a continuous flow of oil into the Gulf and requires a rethinking of that kind of strategy.
As noted in the NPS's Morning Report for May 28, debris from the explosion washing ashore is both helping investigators while slowing the clean up. "The debris," notes the report, "represents potential evidence in the ongoing USCG investigation and has caused a disruption in normal shoreline clean-up tasks."
Jarvis said that over a million feet of boom has been deployed so far to slow the spread of the spill, but he realistically said that with the hurricane season approaching, "and as long as there is a present slick of oil on the surface of the Gulf, then... there is a very high probability that oil will come ashore."

Rated 5 out of 5Â by luciajpn Written in the cards I'd been after a tarot deck for a while, but had never come across any that I immediately connected with - until this deck. The art work captivated me straight away, and once I received them and had a chance to look at the deck as a whole I wasn't disappointed by one. The cards are of excellent quality, as is the box that they come with, and I am thoroughly enjoying learning more about tarot and the meanings behind the cards. I also managed to get the accompanying guide, which is equally beautiful and useful if, like me, you are new to area and simply interested in learning more. I highly recommend to anyone considering buying these, they really are worth it! Also, remember to get yourself a clear quartz to clear any negative energy before/after giving readings too. :) 7.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl It's in the cards I am surprised that these have not sold out. I purchased them as a gift, but had to take a peek inside the box. The cards are printed on heavyweight non-glossy cardstock, and packed in a beautiful cardboard box with a little black ribbon inside for lifting the deck out. The artwork is magical and gorgeous! Every card is a miniature work of art. The box itself measures 5.5"x3"x2". Worth every penny! 11.5.2012

At least 87 dead in Bangladesh garment factory collapse
A.M. Ahad / Associated Press
Rescue workers use clothes to bring down survivors and bodies after an eight-story building housing several garment factories collapsed in Savar, near Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Wednesday.
A.M. Ahad / Associated Press
At least 87 people were killed in the building collapse. Rescuers tried to cut through the debris with earthmovers, drilling machines and their bare hands.
A.M. Ahad / Associated Press
Relatives mourn a victim at the site where an eight-story building housing several garment factories collapsed in Savar, near Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Wednesday. Plant managers reportedly told workers to go inside despite cracks forming on the building's walls.
A.M. Ahad / Associated Press
A man who was trapped in an eight-story building housing several garment factories is rescued in Savar, near Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Wednesday. The disaster underscored unsafe conditions in Bangladesh's massive garment industry.
Less than five months after a factory fire killed 112 people, the disaster again underscored the unsafe conditions in Bangladesh's massive garment industry. Workers said they hesitated to go to work Wednesday because the building had developed such severe cracks the previous day that it had been reported on local news channels.
Abdur Rahim, who worked on the fifth floor, said a factory manager assured them there was no problem, so they went inside.
"We started working. After about an hour or so the building collapsed suddenly," he said. He next remembered regaining consciousness outside the building.
Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir told reporters during a visit to the site that the building had violated construction codes and "the culprits would be punished."
Among the businesses in the building were Phantom Apparels Ltd., New Wave Style Ltd., New Wave Bottoms Ltd. and New Wave Brothers Ltd., which make clothing for brands including Benetton, The Children's Place and Dress Barn. Workers said they didn't know what specific clothing brands were being produced in the building because labels are attached after the products are finished.
Sumi, a 25-year-old worker who goes by one name, said she was sewing jeans on the fifth floor with at least 400 others when the building fell. "It collapsed all of a sudden," she said. "No shaking, no indication. It just collapsed on us."
She said she managed to reach a hole in the building through which rescuers pulled her out.
Reports suggested the death toll was likely to rise.
"We sent two people inside the building and we could rescue at least 20 people alive. They also told us that at least 100 to 150 people are injured and about 50 dead people are still trapped inside this floor," said Mohammad Humayun, a supervisor at one of the garment factories.
Tens of thousands of people gathered at the site, some of them weeping survivors, some searching for family members. Firefighters and soldiers using drilling machines and cranes worked with local volunteers in the search for survivors.
An enormous section of the concrete structure appeared to have splintered like twigs. Colorful sheets of fabric were tied to upper floors of the wreckage so those inside could climb or slide down and escape.
An arm jutted out of one section of rubble. The lifeless body of a woman covered in dust could be seen in another. A firefighter carried the body of what appeared to be a teenager from the area.
Rahim said his mother and father, who worked with him in the factory, were trapped inside.
`'I have no idea what is going on," he said.
Mosammat Khurshida wailed as she looked for her husband. "He came to work in the morning. I can't find him," she said. "I don't know where he is. He does not pick up his phone."
The building, in the Dhaka suburb of Savar, also housed a bank and shops.
Zahidur Rahman, director of public relations at Enam Medical College and Hospital, said by Wednesday evening 87 people had been confirmed dead. Brig. Gen. Mohammed Siddiqul Alam Shikder said 600 people had been rescued.
At the morgue of the medical college, many wailed as they waited for the bodies of their loved ones. "Where's my mother? Where's my mother? Tell me, tell me, oh Allah, oh Allah," Rana Ahmed cried.
The November fire at the Tazreen garment factory drew international attention to working conditions in Bangladesh's $20 billion-a-year textile industry. The country has about 4,000 garment factories and exports clothes to leading Western retailers. The industry wields vast power in the South Asian nation.
Tazreen lacked emergency exits and its owner said only three floors of the eight-story building were legally built. Surviving employees said gates had been locked and managers had told them to go back to work after the fire alarm went off.
Clothes with Disney, Wal-Mart and other western labels were found at that factory.
