A review of "The Solution Revolution," by William D. Eggers and Paul Macmillan.
Science of the Time | January 27, 2014
"The solution revolution is almost the antithesis of how society's toughest public challenges have traditionally been approached by large institutions. In no other space do we see such diverse resources – volunteer time, crowdfunding, capabilities of multinational corporations, entrepreneurial capital, philanthropic funding – aligned around common objectives such as reducing congestion, providing safe drinking water, or promoting healthy living."

Book review: 'The Solution Revolution,' by William Eggers and Paul Macmillan
The Wall Street Journal | January 8, 2014
A review in the Wall Street Journal of the Solution Revolution by Trevor Butterworth says: The essential point of "The Solution Revolution" is that the Internet has created a market for solutions to social problems and in doing so it is tearing down the wall between the public and private sectors. In the space where citizens, corporations and charities now collaborate with (or without) government, a new economy has emerged. "This economy," write Messrs. Eggers and Macmillan, "trades in social outcomes; it's currencies include public data, reputation and social impact. . . . The business models are unusual and the motivations range from new notions of public accountability to moral obligation to even shareholder value."

11 Big Ideas to Watch in 2011
1. Rethinking Retail 2. Paranoia, Inc.3. The Return of Hiring4. Cash, Credit, or iPhone?5. Resuscitating Electric Cars6. An IPO Comeback7. The Battle for Your Living Room8. Bespoke Everything9. A Facebook Backlash?10. Adding Bottom Lines11. More Uncertainty
Online retailers have always competed by offering convenience and low prices, but they've lately began to master the art of getting people to buy things they don't yet know they want. These new start-ups—like Gilt Group, LivingSocial, and Groupon—send locally targeted e-mails (hello, Shreveport, Louisiana!), give huge discounts (50 percent off is the norm), and make customers pull the trigger quickly, sometimes within a matter of minutes. It's about making shopping feel too good to be true. And if Groupon's latest sale offer is any indication, it's a highly lucrative—if a bit saturated—field.
Radical transparency is so last decade. Privacy and security are the new concerns swimming in the zeitgeist. Blame it on brouhahas over airport body scanners, WikiLeaks, and customer tracking by Web companies. Look for more upstarts like LifeLock, which offers identity theft protection, and Reputation Defender, which offers a service to remove one's personal information from websites, to be capitalizing on newfound fears about privacy. And Big Brother, beware.
Yes, hiring. Ever heard of it? American companies shed millions of jobs during the recession. As the economy has recovered they've made up for the shortfall by getting more out of their workers—productivity grew by 3.5 percent in 2009. But productivity is slowing down, which means companies will have to start hiring again. What does it mean? You'll have to work harder (and pay more) to attract talented, motivated people.
The cash register is still ubiquitous, but it has new high-tech cousins. Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey's next start-up, Square, uses a cheap plastic attachment that turns an iPhone into a sophisticated point-of-sale system that can be used by any business, large or incidental. A host of other new companies are offering novel ways to pay, chiefly using smartphones: self-checkout apps, credit card chips embedded in phones, and a new offering from PayPal that allows money to be transferred by bumping two phones together. Fist bump! (Gently.)
After a decade of fits and starts, the electric car business is revving up. Tesla Motors, Elon Musk's electric car start-up, is now public and is poised to being manufacturing its next-generation electric sedan. It could help build momentum for other electric car start-ups that have products in the pipeline, such as Fisker and Coda. Meanwhile, the hotly anticipated 2011 Chevy Volt, sold by a resurgent GM, will create opportunities for a new generation of automotive suppliers.
Public offerings were quite comatose during the recession—and the venture capital industry, which depends on public offerings to keep funding start-ups, was loudly wailing about its future. But IPOs appear to be on their way back, thanks to Tesla, whose stock price has skyrocketed over the past few months. Kayak and Skype have already announced their intentions to go public and there are a host of other companies—LinkedIn, Zynga, and Groupon—rumored to go that route in the near future.
In September, Steve Jobs introduced his company's Apple TV, a little box that lives on top of your television and streams movies, as "one more hobby." But competition for your home-entertainment is getting serious. Google and start-ups like Boxee, Hulu, and Roku are jostling for space on your television screen with stand-alone gadgets and modified televisions and DVD players. All these new electronics will create a market for apps—tiny software programs sold online—that could eventually rival the billion-dollar smartphone app market. Our question: Who's going to build the living room version of Angry Birds?
Customization has been popular for years, led by pioneers like Threadless and Ponoko. Now, taking into account consumers' desire for quality over quantity, it's moving into industries that were hitherto unthinkable. Local Motors has designed an open source car, and New York City-based Adafruit sells electronics that are designed and built by users. Even the luxury brands are catering to whims of the hoi polloi: In September Chanel gave New York City shoppers a chance to customize the colors of ballet flats.
Facebook survived the Hollywood takedown of 2010, and Mark Zuckerberg emerged as Time's Person of the Year. Is it too good to be true? Might Facebook be primed to stumble—or at least stub a toe—sometime soon? Its size and ubiquity have drawn scrutiny and criticism from users worried about its blasé attitude toward privacy, from governments eager to regulate the way it manages user data, and from entrepreneurs who charge that its new payment system is too greedy. Will a backlash make a dent in the power of this social network? Eh, probably not.
It's become fashionable for investors and entrepreneurs to talk about double-bottom-line businesses—that is, businesses that make money and do some good in the world. That sounds impressive—but not as impressive as the triple bottom line, an increasingly popular bit of marketing jargon for socially responsible businesses. (The three bottom lines are generally profits, people, and the planet). Lately there's been talk of adding yet a fourth bottom line that would capture a business's cultural impact. We wouldn't be surprised if 2011 is the year of the first self-proclaimed quintuple-bottom-line business. Hey, it worked for the razor blade industry.
Predictions are always meant to be taken with a healthy heaping of salt, but we are pretty sure that 2011 will be a year of certain uncertainty, as a volatile economy and an acrimonious political climate make it difficult to plan for the future. Will more European economies need bailing out? Will President Obama's health care reform be modified or repealed? Is another stimulus plan in the works? Entrepreneurs will have to plan for the best, the worst, and everything in between. Well, you've always been doing that, right? —Max Chafkin

January 23, 2007
DOE announced on January 23rd that it will issue $17 million in solicitations to support technologies to improve vehicle efficiency and use of E85 fuel. E85 is a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline that is used in flexible fuel vehicles. Two separate cost-shared solicitations will be offered by DOE's FreedomCAR and Vehicle Technologies Program.
The first solicitation for $14 million aims to improve the performance of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) batteries so that PHEVs can drive 40 miles—the average daily roundtrip distance of commuters—running only on electricity. The second, $3 million solicitation will support projects to improve the engine efficiency and reduce the emissions of flex-fuel vehicles that use E85 fuel. The solicitations are subject to Congressional appropriations. See the DOE press release.

Three Falcons Represent Men's Basketball on NABC Honors Court
July 19, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Three members of the Pfeiffer University men's basketball team have been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court Award list. Davon Gilliard (Charleston, SC), Yuki Yamaguchi (Tokyo, JAPAN) and Chris Woods (Greensboro, NC) represent the Falcons with the most selections in Conference Carolinas.
The NABC Honors Court recognizes the talents and gifts that these men represent off the court by working just as hard in the classroom. To be named to the NABC Honors Court, each student athlete must meet a high standard of academic criteria that includes being a junior or senior, a varsity athlete, cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher, at-least one year at their current institution and a member of a NCAA division one, two, three or NAIA school.
"We are extremely proud of these young men that are representing us in the academic community" replied head coach Jeremy Currier. "They should be commended for their hard work on and off the court as ambassadors for our program."

A Winterville man has been charged with stalking and other offenses after he came to Havelock and allegedly broke into a shed on a woman's property.
Randy Fomby, 53, is charged with felony breaking and entering, stalking, cyberstalking and careless and reckless driving.
Havelock Police Chief G. Wayne Cyrus said that a 40-year-old woman called police on Saturday to report that she was being stalked. Cyrus said that Fomby had been allegedly coming to the woman's Havelock home after he had been told to stay away.
Fomby is alleged to have broken into a shed on the woman's property and taken several items that were found in his vehicle, Cyrus said.
The chief said the two don't have a relationship but that Fomby believes they do.
"He believes that she is his wife," Cyrus said. "He identifies her as his wife. They are familiar with each other but there has never been a relationship that we know of."
Cyrus said there had been no assault on the woman.
"His behavior has placed her in fear," Cyrus said.
Fomby was taken before a magistrate and placed in the Craven County Detention Center at Clarks under a $5,500 bond and still remains in jail.
Cyrus said that Fomby is known to Havelock police because of an Oct. 9 incident at the police department.
"We had to bar him from the police department here," Cyrus said. "He came into the lobby and displayed belligerent and aggressive behavior toward the communications staff."
Fomby was issued a letter stating that if he returned to the department he would be charged with trespassing.

Comments about Formula RXO Disc Brake OE:
Bought this brake to upgrade my commuter/paved trail bike and I have to say I am very impressed. This brake has phenomenal stopping power, and I have never wanted more. Great adjustablity, good style and good modulation. This brake does make some noise, but coming from the world of automotive racing brakes the warbling noise is minor and easy to live with.
Best Uses
Comments about Formula RXO Disc Brake OE:
Bites harder than a pitbull and subsequent braking will keep on biting like the first. I have 'The Ones' on my DH specific bike and they are a godsend, I figured since those were so good that I would get another set of Formula's (just different model). These do not disappoint. I have them on my 29HT and are overkill but love them anyways. Formulas come stock with a sensitive lever (reduced pull to bite) and that's how I like them.
Best Uses
Comments about Formula RXO Disc Brake OE:
The caveat with Formula brakes is; the cost of the fittings, if you need to shorten the hoses. If would have nice for Jensen to include them with purchase, but it wasn't sold that way. It costs 25.00 per hose fitting and that's out of line. Otherwise, it was a great deal on the brakes and they work well.
Best Uses
Comments about Formula RXO Disc Brake OE:
First - a watch out. The brakes both front and rear are setup for post mount. The rear does not include an IS adapter. The good news is the Avid adapter I already had mated up nicely.
Compared to my Elixir 5's these have tons of power. A bit less modulation, and that takes some getting used to.
Overall really enjoy the new setup. You won't find me making claims that they make you a better rider and inspire confidence....they just work, and work well at that. At the price Jenson has them for they are a terrific deal.

A:We list all of our ingredients on our product pages, so I would recommend taking this product to a physician if you are at all unsure. Although I do not see any ingredients that I think would cause troubles, it is always best to consult a doctor.Answered on 5/6/2015 by Sal
A:Sorry but I have no idea. Can't imagine it would be harmful as it is a topical product, and as long as you aren't allergic to any of the ingredients I'd think you should be okay. I suggest you show the list of ingredients to your doctor and ask if he thinks it's okay for you to use.Answered on 4/30/2015 by Anonymous

2 answers
A:Yes, Aqua Marina is a great gentle cleanser for sensitive and oily skin! The calamine works great to calm the most irritated of skins, the seaweed used nourishes the skin, and sea salt works wonderfully as super gentle exfoliant.Answered on 11/14/2014 by Anonymous
A:I also have really sensitive skin, and Aqua marina gets a little too harsh on my skin. I would recommend the mask of magnaminty. It helps control the oil, leaves me feeling fresh, and I've been using it for about a year with no problems of it irritating my skin.

Q:I am considering buying this product but I was wondering what moisturizer and toner would best suit this? I have normal to combo skinAsked on 6/6/2014 by Whit Whit from Georgia
3 answers
A:The toner and moisturizer you choose really just depends on your skin, and what works best for you. If you don't have any major issues with oil, Breath of Fresh Air is a great balancing toner, as well as Imperialis moisturizer.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I use the Tea Tree Toner and then Vanishing Cream moisturizer. The rose toner might work well too because its soothing like the calamine in the Aqua Marina. I like the Vanishing Cream moisturizer with it because it gives the perfect amount of moisture- I sometimes find Aqua Marina to be a TINY bit drying, but the Vanishing Cream is perfect- it does not leave skin greasy at all!Answered on 6/19/2014 by Sofi from Ipswich, MA
I use the Tea Tree Toner and Gorgeous moisturizer with the Aqua Marina
cleanser. Both products are smooth and light. They absorb well into my
skin year-round without leaving any residue or shine. All products give me
a fresh face morning dew look. You'll be happy with the Aqua Marina
cleanser no matter what products you use with them. It has reduced the

Q:I've been using this product for a few weeks and usually have a difficult time washing all of it off of my face even when I scrub vigorously, upsetting my skin. Any suggestions on how to get it all off without rubbing my face raw?Asked on 4/25/2014 by Jess from Pittsburgh, Pa

A:Try using less product, you only need a pea sized amount. Also, use a warm wash cloth to remove any excess product on your skin.Answered on 5/3/2014 by Jeanine from LUSH Direct
A:Perhaps you are using too much? You only need a pea-sized bit. Put the droplet in your cupped hand, add water to make a water paste, then apply. Does this help?Answered on 4/30/2014 by Anonymous
A:Just use a little less, you really don't need much to clean your face with, and then just use copious amounts of water to rinse and use your hands in a circular motion! hope this helps!

I use very little of the product at a time. I make it kinda runny (thinner
than a paste) by mixing it with water in the palm of my hand. Then I just
use my fingers to apply like face lotion.
I also don't use a washcloth at all but lots of water to gently rinse my
face, (but my skin is extremely sensitive.)
It's always easiest in the shower bc then I'm sure to adequately rinse my
neck & hairline, (which are the places I tend to miss. )
Hope this helps.

Q:I currently use Aqua marina and I love it. However I also want to buy a pot of Let the good times roll because I think it will provide a bit more exfoliation and moisture. I guess my question relates to if using a cleanser two times a day will be too much. I was thinking of using Let the good times roll to wash my face in the morning, and aqua marina before going to bed. Is this a good idea or should I cut down on how many times I use a cleanser? If it's alright, is the timing of it good, or should I use let the good times roll at night and aqua marina in the morning?Asked on 2/15/2014 by ila

A:Both cleansers are gentle enough to be used twice daily, and it really just depends on your own preference which one you use in the morning, and which you use in the evening. We would recommend experimenting both ways to see which is best for you!Answered on 3/26/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

Q:How is this product compared to fresh farmacy? Which one is better for acne and sensitive skin? What about fading post acne scars?Asked on 1/3/2014 by girl
3 answers
A:Aqua Marina and Fresh Farmacy both contain soothing calamine, so both are great choices for sensitive skin! Since Fresh Farmacy also contains tea tree oil, which works as a natural antiseptic, it does have a bit of an advantage in taking care of acne.
Exfoliation and citrus ingredients are the best way to reduce the appearance of acne scars, and neither Fresh Farmacy nor Aqua Marina incorporate these. Ocean Salt would be best for this purpose, but if you'd rather use something more gentle, Angels on Bare Skin is a great exfoliator as well!Answered on 3/21/2014 by Brandy from LUSH
A:I have hormonal cystic acne and occasional dry spots. Most cleansers and acne products, including Fresh Farmacy, have made me break out even more. I've been using Aqua Marina for two weeks and, while I haven't noticed a change in my old acne scars, my face is generally brighter, smoother, and less oily at the end of the day. The little bumps I've had as long as I can remember along my hairline and on my chin are nearly gone.Answered on 2/11/2014 by Karol from DC
A:for me, this has done nothing to fade my acne scars :(Answered on 2/6/2014 by ah2ris from Valencia, CA
Q:So I live in an area with no LUSH stores near. I need a product to help with red, dry, and EXTREMELY flakey skin. I need a pretty good amount and around ten dollars. Any recommendations?Asked on 12/6/2013 by Mikayla from Idaho
1 answer
A:I would recommend you try the Aqua Marina cleanser! Aqua Marina was made with the same principle in mind; using the soothing pink extract to reduce redness and inflammation in sensitive skin. Those who have a tendency to react to citrus or strong herbal oils will find salvation in Aqua Marina's gentle aloe vera and moisturizing nori seaweed. I think this product best suits your skin type!Answered on 12/8/2013 by Anonymous
Q:i currently use aqua marina and have been contemplating getting a clarisonic for a deeper cleansing system for my face. can i use aqua marina on the clarisonic brush? has anyone done this and gotten good results? or do you advice against this? i love this cleanser and dont want to switch.Asked on 10/21/2013 by amitch90 from cleveland, oh
2 answers
A:Unfortunately, none of our cleansers were designed to be used with a Clarisonic. We don't know how they will work with this device as we have not tested them this way. I would really not advise using the Aqua Marina due to its thick consistency and the scrubby, exfoliating pieces in it as these might clog or damage the brush.Answered on 1/24/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:It doesn't work as good as a liquid cleanser, but it does work. Just be prepared for little bits of seaweed to get stuck in the bristles!Answered on 11/2/2013 by Holly from Utah

A:It helped with mine so far but I've only been using it for a week now. The whiteheads I had on my chin and forehead shrank and disappeared overnight and I have not gotten a single new breakout yet since I've been using it. I definitely recommend you test it out on your skin and see how it goes.Answered on 7/14/2013 by B from Philadelphia, PA

Alright, I've weeded through my bag and have some stuff I don't need:
Yellow DX Beast - 168 Gently Used
White X out SL - 173 Gently Used
Orange Champion Groove - 173 Basically New
Orange Elite Z Wasp - 172 Gently Used
Blue Pro Shark - 173 Mildly Used
The only thing I'd like fair value on is the Groove since it's new (thrown like twice), everything else is very negotiable.
Things I'd consider trading for:
Champion Valkyrie (Std. Weight)
Champion Shark (Heavy as hell)
Pro Rhyno (172ish)
Champion Teebird (Std. Weight)
Champion Viking (Std. Weight)
Or, anything else you can persuade my newbie-ass is going to be able to throw farther than 260-270
Let me know if anyone is interested! I plan on being at a couple of leagues per week! Glad to be a part of the club!

What makes Nash so good is not his shooting (which is great), it's that he still gets his roll man or another cutter an easy basket.
What bothers me about the Princeton is that this bread and butter play style that he is more effect in is going to be neutralized. You could see the starters struggling with it in the third quarter on Saturday.
When they are running...Nash is extemely effective, so is Kobe, but in the halfcourt set, it seemed like there was some confusion, and Pau was not on the same page either. I hope Pau practices a lot of elbow jumpers...he's going to be getting those all season.

LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez was once again called up to the U.S. national team ahead of vital World Cup Qualifiers and judging by the comments made by national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, the center back figures to play a major role in the upcoming matches.
Gonzalez was one of six defenders named to Klinsmann's 23-man roster for the U.S.' matches against Costa Rica on March 22 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park and Mexico at Estadio Azteca on March 26. The Galaxy center back is joined by three other central defenders including Geoff Cameron, Clarence Goodson, and Matt Besler.
During a media conference call following the roster announcement, Klinsmann praised Gonzalez's 90 minute performance on Feb. 6 against Honduras and tabbed him to be an important figure going forward.
"To me, he has the opportunity to grow and mature in our environment. I think he's done well in Honduras. Even though the second goal happened because of a sequence of mistakes by several players involved that manipulated the game, but overall, he played an absolute okay game," said Klinsmann. "I had him with me the whole January camp which has been a pleasure to see his potential. Now for him, to get to another level, it is only by playing and gaining experience and growing. I think he's done well so far. We believe that there is a real special player coming through the system."
U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann announced his 23-man roster for the nation's March World Cup Qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico, and while the names on the list drew plenty of attention, one name that was absent drew a mention as well.
Galaxy forward Landon Donovan was a topic for discussion during Klinsmann's post-announcement teleconference. Donovan is currently taking a break from the game and is scheduled to return to the Galaxy sometime next week.
During the teleconference, Klinsmann revealed that he last spoke to Donovan in late-January, but admitted that Donovan's inclusion to the national team will depend on his fitness once he returns.
"Maybe he will become a part of our plans again, but it will depend on how he comes back and how I look at the whole picture and the development of this team," said Klinsmann during a teleconference with reporters. "The door is always open as I said, but at the end of the day, I will make decisions based on what I think is best for this team going forward. And as of today, he's not in the plans because simply, he's not even playing or training."
However, the U.S. national team boss was quick to reiterate that lines of communications between him and Donovan remain open.
"We're always in touch. That's no problem at all. We live in kind of the same neighborhood in the L.A. area so that should be no problem."
Expect Donovan to be a member of the U.S. national team at some point this year?

CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy backup goalkeeper Brian Perk underwent sports hernia surgery on Saturday, the club revealed during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Chivas USA.
According to a Galaxy official, Perk will not be added to the team's disabled list. Typically sports hernia injuries take four to six weeks to heal.
With Perk injured, Brian Rowe slides into the backup role behind starter Carlo Cudicini. Rowe made four appearances for the Galaxy in 2012 as he made three in Reserve League play and one in a friendly against Tottenham Hotspur.
Omar Gonzalez was named to the 23-man U.S. National Team squad on Monday ahead of World Cup Qualifiers against Costa Rica at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on March 22 and Mexico at Estadio Azteca on March 26.
Gonzalez started the last U.S. World Cup Qualifier, a 2-1 defeat to Honduras on February 6. Following the match, Gonzalez received praise from head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for his performance and is expected to be in contention to start both qualifiers.
Due to his national team call-up, he will not be with the Galaxy for Saturday's match against the Colorado Rapids at The Home Depot Center. The Galaxy will also be without captain Robbie Keane on Saturday, who was called up by Ireland for their World Cup Qualifiers against Sweden and Austria. Both players will rejoin the team before LA's March 30 match against Toronto FC.
The complete U.S. Squad is below…
GOALKEEPERS- Brad Guzan, Nick Rimando, Sean Johnson.
DEFENDERS- Geoff Cameron, Omar Gonzalez, Tony Beltran, Justin Morrow, Clarence Goodson, Matt Besler.
MIDFIELDERS- Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Maurice Edu, Graham Zusi, Brek Shea, Joe Corona, Sacha Kljestan, DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman.
FORWARDS- Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore, Herculez Gomez, Eddie Johnson, Terrence Boyd.
CARSON, Calif. -- Colorful Chivas USA manager Jose Luis Sanchez Sola had a few choice words following the 1-1 draw between Chivas and the LA Galaxy.
Following the match, "Chelis" described the Galaxy as being favored by the league.
"This team, [the Galaxy], is the team of the league office in New York and somehow they affect, not in something as serious or as big as a foul in the box that was not in the box, or in an ejection that was not an ejection, but with a series of fouls calls that really cut my defense or that amplifies their offense. And, that's is very tendentious, it exists in Spain with Real Madrid or with Boca Juniors in Argentina. In each state there is a team of the state and this is the team of the state," Sanchez Sola said.
"Tomorrow, they can fine me, they can tear up my passport, but I'm not joking. I'm not a subordinate, I'm not here for this," Sanchez Sola added. "I came here to coach a serious team, because (my players) give a tremendous effort, what they do is tremendous, I don't want them to be affected by these type of decisions (of favoritism)."
Sanchez Sola also stated that he believed Joaquin Velasquez was awarded a red card due to his unfamilarity in MLS.
"He's already under the spotlight because he's not a league player, he's not a player from New York, he's not a player that came from the league offices."
What are your thoughts on Sanchez Sola's statement?

Fouls and hard challenges are a staple of the SuperClasico and Sunday's match was no different.
One challenge in particular by Chivas USA midfielder Oswaldo Minda on LA Galaxy midfielder Mike Magee left the LA attacker with a few choice words on the matter. Minda issued a rough challenge to Magee in the 13th minute that left Magee on the field after the tackle. Although Magee looked injured, he continued and it was actually Minda that was taken off with an injury five minutes later. Following the match, Magee did not hold back when speaking of the tackle.
"That tackle, Minda had me feeling he was going to try to end me and I got a couple gashes on my leg to prove it," Magee said. "As I was getting up, at least three of their people said to watch out because that's what he's known for. It's frustrating because at that point you want to get somebody back, but you can't get sent off, and on that tackle he had to leave the game which, for the first time in my life, I kind of smiled when the guy was leaving the field."
However, Magee's teammates admitted that the challenges were common place during the SuperClasico.
"There is no lesson this game. I didnt see anything," said midfielder Marcelo Sarvas. "It was one team trying to play, the other team trying to destroy."

CARSON, Calif. – Bruce Arena held no punches on the LA Galaxy's 1-1 draw with Chivas USA on Sunday afternoon.
The Galaxy boss described his team's performance as poor on the day and admitted that the Galaxy did a "terrible" job of closing out the game as an 89th minute goal by Carlos Alvarez negated a goal from Jack McBean that was scored six minutes earlier.
Below are Arena's thoughts on the Galaxy's 1-1 draw…
(On his general thoughts on the performance…)
ARENA: "I think it was a poor performance on our part today. Bad game, a lot of fouls, a lot of time wasting. Not well played on our part, and a terrible effort in closing the game out at the end."
(On whether fitness was a reason for the poor showing…)
ARENA: "No."
(On the performance of referee Ricardo Salazar…)
ARENA: "He could have done a little bit better job understanding the game from the beginning, with the fouling and the time wasting and that. He punished them for some of the fouling, so we certainly can't point to the referee."
(On what he attributed the poor play to…)
ARENA: "Not playing well. It has nothing to do with fitness, we played a game Wednesday obviously it's a little bit difficult week for us this time of year, but we didn't play well. Our passing was poor, we didn't play well today."
(On why the team played poorly….)
ARENA: "Certainly give [Chivas USA] credit, they played real hard they got in on every play. There was a lot of fouling, I don't even know what the fouls would be, but he didn't get all of them either. They fouled us as much as they could, and got away with as much as they could. That's all part of the game, it's not surprising. Going into the game, their style of play, that's what we anticipated. There's no excuse on our part."
(On if the players took the victory for granted…)
ARENA: "Yeah I would say that and it was just a sloppy effort right there at the end of the game. I don't think...I don't even know if our goalkeeper faced a shot all day to be honest with you, until the end there. We didn't do well."
(On Jack McBean's play…)
ARENA: "Jack did well. It was going to take an ugly goal, in all honesty. They had everyone behind the ball; it wasn't going to be easy. Our passing wasn't good today and our play in and around the penalty area wasn't good. Not surprising that the goal was going to look like that at the end."
(On the reason for the Colin Clark substitution…)
ARENA: "I didn't think he was effective and I made that change. The way we looked to start the second half is the way we played the other night, in all honesty."
(On the change at Chivas USA between 2012 and 2013…)
ARENA: "I think it's too early in the year to say that. That's not for me to even comment on."
At the request of The Home Depot Center pool reporter, referee Ricardo Salazar issued a response for his decision to award a straight red card to Chivas USA defender Joaquin Velasquez for a foul on LA Galaxy midfielder Colin Clark in the 40th minute of Sunday's SuperClasico.
The referee awarded four yellow cards (three to LA and one to Chivas) and called 30 fouls (22 for Civas and eight for the Galaxy).
Salazar's statement is below...
"On the foul committed by Joaquin Velazquez, was deemed by the referee as serious foul play; therefore the referee showed him the red card and sent him off."
You make the call: was Ricardo Salazar just to award a straight red card to Joaquin Velazquez for a challenge on Colin Clark in the 40th minute.

BK Ventspils made it 13 wins in a row at home as they ended the Last 16 hopes of Sodertalje Kings in Group C of the EuroChallenge.
The Kings had taken control of their destiny by beating the Norrkoping Dolphins last time out, but they could not make it pay as Ventspils wrapped up a perfect 6-0 record in the group.
The Kings briefly threatened an upset, but only briefly.
They jumped out to a 7-0 lead on a three-point play from Kenneth Simms, but Ventspils responded with a 15-2 spurt as a three-point play from Folarin Campbell put them up by six with 2:36 left in the first period.
The Kings kept scrapping and were within touching distance when Toni Bizaca's jump-shot made it 22-21 early in the second period.
But Ventspils then reeled off seven straight and kept rolling to lead 42-26 on a jump-shot from Arturs Berzins 2:50 before half-time.
The lead was 47-33 at the break after the Kings' Dino Pita ended the half with a three.
The Kings started the second half strongly as they cut the gap back to seven, Bizaca following a three-pointer with a jump-shot that made it 47-40 but Ventspils got the message and began to edge away once more before a 9-0 run powered them to a 70-50 lead on Martins Meiers jump-shot at the start of the fourth quarter.
They then shut down the Kings in the fourth quarter, holding them to just six points as they piled on the misery.
Janis Timma scored 18 poins to lead Ventspils while Berzins, Campbell, and Martins Laksa added 12 each and Donald Sims had 10.
Bizaca led the Kings with 19 points and Pita added 11.
Sodertalje Kings player Agnis Cavars"We did not manage to fulfill the plan - what we did in the court was not even close to what the coach said to us. BK Ventspils had a very good percentage from far distance and they dominated in all positions. This was the worst game of the season. We wanted to get into the next round, but it did not come true."
Sodertalje Kings head coach Vedran BosnicUnfortunately we did not do anything we talked about before game. We knew that we will play against a high level team which is dominating this group and is much better individually and on all positions on the court. Still, I think we could have made a better effort. We gave up too early. Ventspils was dominating in rebounds and this makes a big difference. Unfortunately we do not go to next round."
Ventspils small forward Janis Timma"We wanted to end this year without losses and this was what the coach said to us before the game. For the players it was quite hard to play when you know that it is 7:0 and still you have to find some motivation to win one more game. I think we managed to find our motivations tonight and did our job very well."
Ventspils head coach Roberts Stelmahers"I am happy for the players who found their motivation for this game, they showed that they are professionals. When we go on the court, we do not have to analyse who is our oponent, we have to fight for a win. Of course, we analyse oponents and choose tactics before the game, but the main thing is in the player' s head. I am happy for the team' s result in the group despite the fact that some said that such Scandinavian group will be easy. I know that people can play good basketball everywhere in the world and this was a good fight, especially in the games on the road."
Janis Timma
